Chapter 93 Casting(1/2)
"Ha! Zihang! Long time no see!"
When Luo Zihang and his assistant Zhao Qi came to the set of "Dragon Master" to report, Wang Chen came forward very enthusiastically and gave him a big hug.
In fact, Wang Chen was the first person to discover that Luo Zihang had great luck and took action. Unfortunately, he was "tricked" by the director and screenwriter of "We Are the Champions". The original script was obviously about and
Luo Zihang was a teammate, but after being a teammate for only a few episodes, Luo Zihang changed jobs, and he couldn't keep up with his luck.
Later, he wanted to cooperate with Luo Zihang, but could never find the opportunity, so he was really happy from the bottom of his heart that the Shining Group could reunite this time.
Luo Zihang looked at Wang Chen, whose face was full of enthusiasm, and felt a little sigh in his heart...
This was the case when he was in the Shining Group. Wang Chen supported the strongest You Zhenkun in various ways, both covertly and overtly, but had a bad relationship with Wu Zelin who was in the same company. Later, after Lan Ying failed to compete with Wu Zelin, he very wisely immediately resigned and became a small player.
.
Moreover, he was respectful to those famous artists, whether they were seniors, peers or juniors, but he would not pay attention to those artists who were not well-known. This led to Wang Chen still having a "
The nickname "Little Chenzi" mocked him as being no different from the father-in-law in ancient times, but Wang Chen still went his own way, with the word "snobbish" almost written on his face.
But it was this kind of snobbishness that allowed him to survive in the entertainment industry. After all, compared to his "good friends" who smiled on the surface but stabbed each other behind their backs, a "dog leg" like Wang Chen was actually more serious.
To win the hearts of those celebrities who are used to flowers and applause... It's rare to have a true friend in this circle anyway, so it's better to get to know more followers, so that you can feel happier at least.
Wang Chen may not have any dignity in doing this, but he did get some resources because of it. He even got a regular cast member of a variety show because of his character, and his character is that of a snob.
"Long time no see." Luo Zihang smiled and hugged him in turn.
Besides...
He felt that the two were not so similar anymore.
"emmmm..."
The makeup artist took a bunch of things and played with it on Luo Zihang's face for a while, and then, like other colleagues, exclaimed: "Teacher Luo, your skin is so good, you don't need to do too much modification at all."
Wang Chen played the role of a student who wanted to curry favor with the children of high-ranking officials, Zhang Ge played the role of a student with musical talent, Wei Yachao played the role of a tailor master sissy, and Liang Qi played the role of a peasant boy who wanted to study hard but had no talent...
Also, in the beginning, it was just a so-called "spiritual bird" that died, but a group of people dared to go to the emperor to force him to the throne, asking him to give everyone an explanation, and it seemed that if the situation was not resolved, the country would be destroyed...
Seeing that Luo Zihang was so easy to talk to, Wang Chen's smile became even brighter, and the expressions of Wei Yachao and Liang Qi also relaxed a lot. After You Zhenkun was stunned for a moment, his expression became less tangled, while Zhang Ge's expression did not change much.
Wu Zelin...his expression became even more awkward...
Although among many people, seven out of ten male makeup artists are gay, in fact, some male makeup artists deliberately pretend to be effeminate, because doing so will make people believe in their ability in makeup.
How can I put it...it's quite childish. If Wu Zelin hadn't taken the initiative to give in, that rich second-generation character who had a lot of roles would never have fallen to You Zhenkun, a person who was almost abandoned by his own company.
Let’s not talk about the characters with a sense of déjà vu. The director’s choice is a perfect fit, right?
Zheng Xilan, who is such a transparent person in the entertainment industry, suddenly became famous just because Luo Zihang gave him a line. It seems a bit too magical no matter how you think about it, so even Wu Zelin, who doesn't believe in evil, can only do it at this time.
Bow to reality...
In addition to Wang Chen, five other former teammates also came up to say hello to him, even Wu Zelin was no exception.
Because we were filming a TV series, this Taoist robe had been modified to a certain extent to make it more slim-fitting. It was also embroidered with patterns of auspicious clouds and Bagua, making it look more like some kind of COSPLAY costume.
Because the other party's behavior reminded him of the days when he pretended to be a grandson in front of various leaders and customers in his previous life, so he would not despise the other party...
Although it is an act of picking off people's wisdom, this kind of thing is inherently disposable and cannot be repeated again and again. If he does not take this opportunity to follow the trend, it will be too late in the future when the public becomes accustomed to this method and even becomes disgusted with it.
Because of this, I cut off the court scene.
After collecting everyone's opinions, everyone began to discuss their respective characters. As a result, Director Ye Shi was pleasantly surprised to find that, leaving aside the few veteran actors and Luo Zihang whose acting skills had been recognized, the other members of the Shining Group
, I have a deep understanding of the character...
In my memory, "Little Clueless" actually only has about half of the content about the academy, and the second half is about the court. But this "Dragon Master" is adapted from a school drama, so there is no follow-up at all.
In the content of the court, there is no setting where the protagonist is a wandering prince.
But now Luo Zihang's normal attitude finally made Wu Zelin wake up from his dissatisfaction. He finally discovered that Luo Zihang had never regarded him as an opponent from the beginning to the end. He had only unilaterally regarded the opponent as his imaginary enemy.
As for the makeup artist in front of him, Luo Zihang didn't know and wasn't interested in knowing.
The reason why Wu Zelin has an awkward expression is because he has always regarded Luo Zihang as his "competitor" before. This is also the main reason why he has resisted cooperating with Luo Zihang before. Even if he relents now, he still has thought about acting.
Sometimes, he used his own performance to overwhelm the opponent, and he unilaterally believed that Luo Zihang should think the same way.
After changing his clothes, Luo Zihang stood up and moved around a few times. He felt pretty good. Then he glanced at the crew members next to him and looked at himself suspiciously.
Zhang Ge, who doesn't have many thoughts about acting, is probably the calmest among the six. When he greeted Luo Zihang, he didn't have many utilitarian thoughts. Instead, he was very interested in Luo Zihang's ability to write the song "Destiny"
, I want to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him about music.
What he is good at is probably singing and dancing, and he is still very idolized in terms of acting skills. At least in the roles he played in the past, his performance was average.
In fact, when Luo Zihang complained about Wu Zelin, he also regretted it.
Ye Shi saw everyone closing the script and asked immediately, but his eyes kept looking at Luo Zihang.
It's just that Wu Zelin's mentality has not completely changed yet, and he is still somewhat unconvinced. In other words, he doesn't want to behave like Wang Chen, nodding and bowing to Luo Zihang, which makes his expression look a bit awkward.
It's a little awkward, and people are trying to come over but refuse to come over.
After a simple reading of the script, several main actors changed into costumes and took the final makeup photos. Wu Zelin, Wei Yachao and Liang Qi, who had less roles, had to take the final makeup photos because the crew wanted to use the Shining Group as a publicity point.
For their part, they also went to change costumes together.
If you really think about it, there are more nonsense settings in "Little Clueless", especially the court scene at the end. Looking back now, Luo Zihang feels that it is very nonsense, but it still does not diminish its excitement.
Then Luo Zihang flipped through the cast list again, and the expression on his face was a little weird...
He still wants to become a star, so according to his agent, he should establish a good relationship with Luo Zihang, but he puts his hope of becoming famous on illusory luck instead of his own strength, and You Zhenkun really can't do anything to please him.
Luo Zihang's behavior, so he could only stand there awkwardly, forcing out a very forced smile.
Ye Shi was not in a hurry. After all, "Hero Lin Tiannan" was not changed according to Luo Zihang's instructions from the beginning. He turned to look at the others and continued to ask: "What about you? You can tell me whatever you think.
Although my main purpose is to take advantage of Zihang's good luck, if you really put forward useful suggestions, I will adopt them."
Then……
…
It's just that as supporting characters with little status, they don't put on makeup in the same place as Luo Zihang. The protagonist has a special dressing room.
In addition, there are also some details that are different. For example, I don’t know whether to find a woman who grows camellia for the emperor, while Lu Zhilong cooperates with the retired bachelor to investigate the corruption list of local officials.
, that prince did not escape after failing to control the flood, but he was an investigator on the surface, used to confuse corrupt officials and gain merit and reputation...
after all……
"Why are you all looking at me like this? Are you wearing something wrong?"
Luo Zihang didn't know what Director Ye Shi was thinking, because he had previously asked them to revise the script as perfectly as possible, so his impression of "Dragon Master" was still the content of the previous revised version, and he had not yet read the latest version in his hand.
Have seen it.
The director's candid speech made the other actors a little confused. However, after a few seniors looked at each other for a while, they actually put forward some ideas, and the director's assistant on the side also carefully recorded their words.
The makeup artist pursed her lips in a girlish manner, and continued to hold the orchid finger and said "Dearly": "It's annoying, I'm not a big brother, just call me Shanna or Nana."
In addition, the company they worked for did not have much presence in the industry, so facing Luo Zihang, who was no longer in the same class as them, the two people who lacked confidence did not even dare to come forward to communicate, and stood honestly with You Zhenkun.
At the very end.
You can also learn from Director Liu and use this to create some hype.
However, although he complained, his work was very neat. He quickly put on a hair cap and wig for Luo Zihang, and then took a navy blue Taoist robe from the side.
Regarding his psychology, Luo Zihang can guess a little bit... He probably doesn't want to be his "student", so he would rather choose a character who has fewer roles but can be on the same level as himself.
But when it comes to good luck, now in the entire entertainment industry, Luo Zihang is absolutely unavoidable, so as long as Wu Zelin wants to become more popular, he has to come and establish a good relationship with Luo Zihang.
After recognizing the situation clearly, the tangled look on Wu Zelin's face finally disappeared, replaced by a hint of loneliness.
It has long been known that Director Liu Xu got a lot of inspiration from Luo Zihang in "The Hero Lin Tiannan", so Ye Shi also hopes to recreate Director Liu's experience to improve the quality of "The Dragon Master"
building.
Although Wei Yachao is not very familiar with Luo Zihang, when he was on the talent show before, he was the one with the most "makeup look". He had a special box to store cosmetics and a lot of clothes. At that time, he was criticized because of this.
Many people are black...
But it is a pity that Luo Zihang, who has not yet entered the dungeon, cannot give him any advice.
The more Luo Zihang read it, the more he felt that the script in his hand was like "The Little Clueless" he had watched in his previous life, and his memories of this drama in his previous life also revived a lot.
When they were in the Shining Group, the relationship between them could not be said to be good, but it could not be said to be bad either. Except for Wu Zelin who had a bit of a son-in-law temper, the others basically had nothing to do with Luo Zihang. For a period of time, Liang Qi even got along with him.
That's right, so Luo Zihang naturally has no need to argue with them.
This is why director Ye Shi organized a reading of the script... Like Luo Zihang, the other actors have actually only seen the earlier version, and everyone is unfamiliar with the new version of the script.
"Brother, please hurry up." Luo Zihang urged with a black line on his face.
Although this reason is a bit ridiculous, considering that "Dragon Master" is not mainly a court drama, and it is still a comedy, this is not a big drawback.
Of course, that's all. It's impossible for Luo Zihang to put in a lot of effort to help him. There are many people like Wang Chen in the entertainment industry, but most of them are not as naive as him.
Not to mention Wang Chen and Zhang Ge, their roles are indeed the most suitable for me.
Luo Zihang glanced at You Zhenkun, who had always been in a low mood, with some surprise. The others had a deep understanding of the characters, which did not surprise him, but You Zhenkun...
To be continued...
