Chapter 262 Cao Cao ×, Transport Captain √ (13)

The leaders of Beijing Youth Daily fell silent after reading the interview with Shen Santong.

This is not just a verbal battle, it is a stab to the heart of the interest groups.

Jiang Wei asked, "Leader, should we publish it? Director Shen said that it must be complete and accurate if it is to be published, and no editing is allowed. Otherwise, don't publish it."

The leader thought for a moment and said, "Let's publish it. We are not a serious newspaper. It's a personal interview. Shen Santong has clearly defined himself as a cultural figure."

It is difficult to stop him. Shen Santong not only gave the interview opportunity to Beijing Youth Daily.

Moreover, its subsidiaries have many dealings with Beijing Youth Daily in advertising, book promotion and other businesses.

It will also benefit him personally, and not logging in will affect subsequent cooperation.

After the interview report was published.

All kinds of rumors were cleared up.

The heated rumors quietly subsided, without even any tit-for-tat criticism.

This is a slide that cannot be touched.

Don't dig into the history of so-called masters of the Republic of China, and don't dig into the ancestors of some businessmen.

Let’s talk about the movie, “Red Cliff”.

By the way, let’s bring up the news about Gillian being photographed. Just focus on entertainment.

8 month 30 day.

Shen Santong asked Director Chen to meet in the company's internal studio and let Director Chen try on makeup in advance.

See if he can play Cao Cao.

Open auditions are more for some competitive roles, and some roles are specific.

Like Cao Cao, Shen Santong's script requires that, from character setting to dramatic effects, his temperament must be domineering.

Some ordinary actors have domineering looks, but their screen image is not good.

There is not enough starlight and the aura is not strong enough to support it.

When it came to choosing the role of Cao Cao, the first person I thought of was Jiang Wen.

Shen Santong was not afraid of not being able to suppress Jiang Wen. He was not Colonel Lu Chuan. Colonel Lu was ignorant and his right to speak was taken away in just a few words.

It must be said that Colonel Lu Chuan took advantage. If he were to do it himself, he would not be able to produce a film as good as "Looking for the Gun" directed by Jiang Wen.

But Jiang Wen didn't have time. When asked, he found out that he was still working on "The Sun Also Rises".

Jiang Wen was banned from directing for five years because of "The Devils", and he was holding his breath.

Jiang Wen spent too much time, too much investment, and too much film on "The Sun Also Rises", and is still filming.

The first choice couldn't play the role, so after much deliberation, Shen Santong wanted to let Director Chen give it a try.

Director Chen Ming, who has high emotional intelligence, was the first actor to learn Hong Kong Island’s publicity methods.

People with low emotional intelligence are actually big marketers.

It is true that he is one of the best actors of his generation, but he is not the most accomplished.

The strongest one is Mr. Tang from Excavator. He can perform for five thousand years. He is super strong.

Following closely behind are group leader Li Youbin and Chen Baoguo, whose representative works and awards are overwhelming.

Director Chen has won very few important awards, only one.

But at first glance, it feels high-class, particularly knowledgeable and stylish, which is actually due to the good character creation.

Good looks are a plus.

Chen Baoguo has a ruthless attitude and Li Youbin is a bit serious, so it is not suitable to market in this direction.

Of course, Mr. Chen Daoming’s professional ability is beyond doubt.

It’s just a little weak compared to the strongest one.

His personal character is even more impeccable.

In other words, most of those born after 50 have good work styles.

Many veteran actors who are both virtuous and talented in their acting still maintain their traditional style.

When the crew is performing a play, they will guide the young actors and teach them step by step. There are many such people among this group of actors.

From then on, each generation became worse than the previous one.

Especially in the 8090s and 60s, that is, the generation born in the 70s and s, the atmosphere became bad.

Some veteran actors are just old hooligans.

There are a lot of weird things, including actors and celebrities from the 8090s and s, some of whom are vegetarians, some of whom have converted to Buddhism, some of whom have Buddhist names, and a lot of other people.

The above are still mild cases. There are many more who use enhancers, are evil, and commit crimes.

Not only are the actors getting worse with each generation, but the directors are also getting worse with each generation.

Compared with the fourth generation of directors, the fifth generation of directors are much inferior in ability and style, and the sixth generation of directors has further declined compared with the fifth generation of directors.

It was not until after 00 that the situation began to improve.

Wang Jinghua came with Director Chen.

When Director Chen saw Shen Santong, he gave him a thumbs up and his first words were, "How dare you say that? I'm just refuting a rumor."

Shen Santong said: "They have gone too far. They dare to say anything." Director Chen laughed and said: "They have also slandered themselves. It is not worth it to compete with these people."

Shen Santong was almost about to admit with his own mouth that he was shameless.

It's like injuring 800 enemies and losing 1,000 of your own.

Shen Santong said helplessly: "Some people must have been holding back their farts. If I'm too shameless, I don't know what they'll do to me later."

He totally believed how shameless some people were.

Instead of making up some messed up scandal or doing some other tricks, it would be better for Shen Santong to make fun of himself first.

Of course, Shen Santong paid close attention.

He just almost admitted that he was shameless, and when he mentioned shamelessness, he said “we intellectuals are shameless.”

He himself has never admitted that he is shameless.

It's impossible to admit it.

It’s like “I am a barbarian”, it’s impossible to shout it out.

Some things can only be done, not said.

There is no reason to compare yourself to barbarians.

Director Chen was putting on makeup and trying on costumes, and curiously asked Shen Santong who was watching from the side: "Why did you want me to play Cao Cao?"

Shen Sandong said: "At first I wanted Mr. Chen to play Liu Bei, but later it was difficult to find an actor for Cao Cao."

"According to my design, the dramatic effect is better, and there must be enough aura. The simplest thing is to look domineering."

"The first person I thought of was Jiang Wen. You should have heard that he is making his own movie."

"Teacher Chen Baoguo, he has a strong aura, but his appearance has a hint of ruthlessness, which is a bit off."

"Teacher Li Youbin, if he doesn't perform in ancient costumes, I think it would be a little lacking even if we invited him."

"Teacher Zhang Guoli is a suitable historical counterpart for my design, but directly playing Cao Cao is still not what I expected."

"I also considered Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, and thought about Chow Yun-fat, but considering the accent and his stance, it was not an option either."

"Liang Jiahui is very good and suitable, but his Mandarin is not good, so I don't want to use dubbing."

Director Chen: “.”

Director Chen thought to himself that you are too honest, and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "So, you have no one to use, so you thought of me."

Shen Santong said frankly: "I just consider the film effect. Teacher Chen is currently my first choice."

Shen Santong is serious about making movies and he wants to see the results.

Wang Jinghua was behind him and gave Director Chen a wink.

Director Chen understood and realized that if it wasn’t suitable, he couldn’t act.

If it were someone else, he might have some opinions, but as for Shen Santong, he just felt that he was worthy of being a young man with great achievements, and his work attitude was impeccable.

Director Chen knew that he had to show his true abilities.

Of course Cao Cao knew and understood this, and he had done his homework before coming.

What he was thinking about was Shen Santong's creative intention as a director.

Thinking back to what Shen Santong just said, it was domineering and comparable to historical figures.

Director Chen asked, "Who are you referring to when you say historical figure comparison?"

Shen Santong: "It's not a complete comparison with Chiang Kai-shek, but a little similar. I will pay tribute to "The Decisive Battle"."

"Think about it, we are not standing from the perspective of what is known in the future, but at that time."

"For Cao Cao, he was determined to win. He did not completely solve the problem in the north the year before, but he solved it temporarily."

"Fighting from north to south, with superior military strength, in his mind, this is the battle for the throne, the battle for unification."

"Does he look a lot like the transport captain? Let's look at it from the perspective of that time."

"He had American aid, so he didn't surrender right there because there were Eighth Route Army troops outside the city. He waited for the transport captain's men to come and take over before surrendering."

"In 45, he felt that he had the advantage. Even in the Huaihai Campaign, he still had to , and had a numerical advantage."

Director Chen felt something was wrong: "I don't want to act anymore."

Nima.

Getting involved with the transport captain is like getting involved with shit.

Director Chen is not an uneducated person. The three words "Chang Kaishen" are almost equivalent to dog shit.

Got it, got it.

He got it.

Domineering, dramatic effect, transport captain, what you want is a comedic effect, right?

Shen Santong looked at Director Chen, who had put on makeup and robes, and exclaimed: "Teacher Chen, you look around with a domineering look, and you are the Cao Cao."

Director Chen: “.”

Suddenly I feel that playing the leading role in a costume blockbuster is not happy either.
