I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 214 Recommended actresses? (33)

When Huang Lei was young, he was indeed an artistic youth...

There is no character, it all depends on acting.

So smart, and his eyes always give people an innocent feeling!

It is very suitable for art films. Director Chen was really good to Huang Lei at that time. After he finished filming "Walking and Singing", he asked him to guest-star as a dandy young man in "Farewell My Concubine", giving him the opportunity to "tease" Gong Li.

Then he was spotted by Zhang Guorong and starred in "Midnight Song"...

After that, he starred in "Half Life" and "Love Fantasy"...

Although they were all supporting roles, that was before the millennium.

"Night Run", directed by Xu Ligong, Huang Lei is the male lead...

Xu Ligong, founder of the Golden Horse Awards, planner and producer of Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Eat Drink Man Woman, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon…

He asked Huang Lei to play the leading male role in his play!
It can be said that at that stage, he was indeed unique...

In "April in the World", he played the great poet Xu Zhimo. There was a scene in the middle where Xu Zhimo was rowing a boat in the River Cam. That flat-bottomed boat was particularly difficult to row, and Huang Lei took great pains to complete those movements.

After drinking a little wine in the evening, Huang Lei said, "Let me try this boat again."

As a result, it was even better than acting. He danced and kept saying, "I am Xu Zhimo!"
Well, it's almost crazy.

Later... maybe he came to terms with it and started playing the economical man and uncle...

He has starred in "Marriage Defense War", "Men's Gang", "Husband and Wife Affairs", "I Love My Male Best Friend"...

Gradually it became what it is today.

That's good too, living as you please...

He has a high status in the circle, and people are praising him wherever he goes. He has no shortage of resources and connections...

Oh, back to the recording of "Lonely City", the character Shen Liang and Mr. Huang only need a few shots for the opening, mid-term, private conversation, and farewell...

The relationship between the characters is established!
In the last scene of farewell, Shen Liang looked back at Huang Lei deeply and pointed at his heart: "Master, I will come back to accompany you after I finish singing the few songs we agreed on..."

Master Huang Lei looked at him...his eyes gradually turned red...

“Pa pa!” applause broke out, and Sun Honglei exclaimed: “…What a great performance!”

Shen Liang smiled and said, "I am recreating the last scene of "Night Run"..."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Min and said, "I'm worried that this scene may not be preserved..."

Yan Min was also a little unsure, and replied: "...We can only try our best!"

Hearing this answer, Shen Liang couldn't help but complain: "... Knowing that this relationship setting does not comply with the regulations, why do you still make such a setting?"

"…Don't you think it's interesting?"

"It's interesting, but it's a TV variety show... The purpose of a TV variety show is to make people happy..."

Yan Min was about to speak, "Okay..." Huang Bo interrupted, "We've been recording for a whole day, let's eat something... By the way, where is Shen Liang going next?"

"We're going to Xiangshan to join the crew..."

“Hey, you’re not going to Hengdian?”

"The drama I'm shooting is mainly in Xiangshan... Excuse me, I have to take a call..."

As he was talking, Shen Liang's phone rang. It was Sun Hao calling...

……

"Joy of Life" has not started filming yet, but the casting of actors is almost complete!

Most of the female characters are pulled from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace - also produced by New Classics.

I have a question about the casting of Fan Ruoruo.

The crew was actually quite satisfied with Song Yi, but she was six years older than Shen Liang!

She doesn't look like Fan Xian's (Shen Liang) sister at all...

After some consideration, I decided to recast the role... Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace actually has young actresses, such as Liu Meitong, Guan Xueying, and Wang Herun...

But she is less famous than him - Fan Ruoruo is the second female lead throughout the whole book.

Even Liu Meitong could only play the role of the young emperor of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, but she is an actress under One Heart Entertainment!
Shen Liang originally wanted to recommend Zhao Lusi, but was worried that she wouldn't be able to act well...

So he didn't say anything. The company, namely Wajijiwa, currently has no female artists to train. Even if there were, Shen Liang probably wouldn't bother to recommend one...

"Joy of Life" is not an idol drama, and the leading actor still needs certain acting skills.

——There are too many veteran actors in this drama, and young actors with a little deficiency can easily be overwhelmed...

Shen Liang himself was a little worried that he couldn't keep up with the pace...

Any actress recommendations?

Recommend a Der...

However, as the male lead, he still has the right to know and make suggestions on casting, so when Sun Hao asked him for any suggestions, he casually recommended Meng Ziyi, Tian Xiwei and Song Yanfei...

And he said clearly, "I have only heard of these actresses, I don't know any of them, I will take your opinion as the main consideration!"

Sun Hao called and told him that the crew had two choices: one was Song Zhuer; the other was Tian Xiwei...

"It's better to find Guan Xiaotong than Song Zhuer...at least Guan Xiaotong...has long legs..."

Of course, Shen Liang did not say this out loud, but just asked back: "Director, what do you think?"

"I want to find a newcomer... Song Zhuer is famous, but she has to take leave frequently... It will definitely affect the filming..."

Shen Liang was a little worried: "She seems to be favored by Zhou Yanxi... I'm sure you know the relationship between Zhou Yanxi and Mr. Cao..."

Zhou Yanxi and Cao Huayi founded Zhongsheng Chunqiu Film and Television with Hai Yan. They served as his right-hand men, one in charge of artist management and the other in charge of film and television production...

After Hai Yan's dramas declined, the two of them worked for New Classics Media and Xitian Films respectively, and they are still regular partners. The best testimony of this is that each other's artists always appear in each other's film and television projects.

In Xinli dramas, except for its own actors, actors under Wang Jinghua and actors from the People's Art Theatre, the rest are basically Xitian!

Every one of them.

After hearing Shen Liang's concerns, Sun Hao immediately replied: "I asked Mr. Cao for his opinion... Tian Xiwei is expected to sign a contract with Xinsheng Liliang..."

"Then... I have no objection."

Shen Liang said he knew, and asked a question by the way: "What's the difference between Meng Ziyi and Song Yanfei?"

"They are both pretty... I plan to arrange Meng Ziyi to play Sang Wen and Song Yanfei... Ye Ling'er, what do you think?"

Sang Wen, Chen Pingping's right-hand man, was in charge of running Baoyue Tower in Kyoto. After Fan Xian took over Baoyue Tower, he expanded its branches to various places and built Baoyue Tower into a new intelligence system separate from the Supervisory Council. Sang Wen became the head shopkeeper of Baoyue Tower and a loyal subordinate of Fan Xian...

Of course, in the original novel, he was a 'singer', the kind who sold his art but not his body... and later became Fan Xian's subordinate;
However, she is a character in the second season...

Can you arrange it?

Meng Ziyi has good resources. She played Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Ye Hongyu in Ever Night...

Let her play a supporting role with few lines?
I guess it's difficult...

Ye Ling'er is also a supporting role, Lin Wan'er's friend...

Not many scenes!
Shen Liang recalled it briefly, then nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say..."

"When will you come to Xiangshan?"

"Tomorrow afternoon...are we going to have some kind of opening ceremony?"

"…That's a must, after all, it's a key project…"

That’s true. “Fighter of the Destiny”, “Ever Night” and “Joy of Life” are all on the “Hurun Original Literature IP Value List”.

"Fighter of the Destiny" starring Lu Han;
"Ever Night" was given to Arthur Chen - the cast is not much worse than that of "Joy of Life"!

The supporting cast of Ever Night includes Zheng Shaoqiu, Hu Jun, Jin Shijie, Ni Dahong, Li Ming...

"Joy of Life" is about to start filming. Due to Shen Liang's sudden popularity, the rating has risen from S to S+ top drama.

The entire launch conference, the ceremony of worshipping the machine and so on, was very normal!
