Perfect Life

Zhu Qiang was the first actor to be popular with Li Qian himself.

Thinking that when he was still studying, he became a big hit because he successfully played Xu Xian, a weak scholar in "The Legend of the New White Snake".

In terms of appearance, he can be classified as "so handsome that a woman can't close her legs", especially his facial features are extremely delicate and soft, and he looks a bit indistinguishable, for most women. , his handsomeness and beauty are definitely at the level of piercing and heart-wrenching, and at the level of killing all age groups.

In terms of acting skills, he successfully played Xu Xian in his early twenties, and his starting point was frighteningly high. Among the actors in their twenties, he is definitely top-notch.

However, after "The Legend of the New White Lady" became a hit, although it was signed into Minghu Culture, it was always considered to be the first sequence of actors in the film and television department of Minghu Culture, but in recent years, he has indeed never been What a brilliant performance.

He is a TV drama star. After "The Legend of the New White Snake" became popular, although he took over several movie roles, his appearance was too delicate for a man, so delicate that it was almost coquettish, and he started out in a TV series, so , although he also participated in Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", but only as a supporting role with a limited role, Qin Wei's "Life and Death" also appeared, with fewer roles.

His main business in recent years has been TV dramas. But his image is too unique, and he has a very high position as soon as he comes up. If he is not the male lead, it is not easy to find him at all. Therefore, although there are still film appointments every year, "The Legend of the New White Lady" has never been released again. Such a blast.

He has been trying to transform, has been trying all kinds of roles, trying to get rid of the imprint of Xu Xian's role, and to get rid of the default setting of "Xu Xian" in the audience's heart.

But unfortunately, it has never been successful.

Not everyone can be like Bai Yujing. When she is in need of transformation to get rid of the shackles of a strong character image, she happens to have an extremely negative character for her to shape.

Zhu Qiang never found such a role and such a suitable play.

He had also been worried.

As an actor, when you hit the street, you hate yourself for not being popular! Red is afraid that his lower drama will flutter!

As an actor, even if you were once famous, once there is no new representative work for a long time, the audience will gradually forget you.

Forget it, it means there is no attention.

The audience no longer pays attention to you. To a large extent, the producers and directors will not pay attention to you. This is a vicious circle that no one can escape.

I remember that at the annual meeting of Minghu Culture, Zhu Qiang, Bai Yujing, and Li Qian once talked about this issue. Lao Bai's suggestion to him was: don't worry, if you don't have a good book, just try to play a drama. !

And Li Qian told him: continue to hone your acting skills, within ten years, I will definitely find you to make a good work that will make you famous in history! But the premise is that your acting skills have to be honed!

After that, Zhu Qiang's heart seemed to settle down immediately.

Minghu Culture has a very good relationship with Shuntian Theater. Whether it is Li Qian himself or other directors in the company, when filming, we need some old actors. My favorite is to find people from Shuntian Theater. , followed by going back to the film school to find their own teachers.

In addition, Zhu Qiang's own conditions and talents are not bad, so he signed a two-year short-term contract as a temporary worker very smoothly. for two years.

So far, among the actors of Minghu Culture, the most outstanding ones should be Zhou Baoshan, Zhou Zhiyu, Huang Ge and Zhu Qiang. The others, regardless of their fame or works, feel that they are a little behind, and among these four , In addition to Zhou Baoshan, the remaining three are currently in the Shuntian Theater, with the identity of a layer of drama actors.

In September, there was a new play at the theater, and Zhu Qiang won the leading role in a modern drama. Li Qian took Wang Jinglu to see it on the first stop of the national tour. Even Wang Jinglu said, Compared with the "Xu Xian" of the year, Zhu Qiang now has changed a lot and made great progress.

Li Qian felt the same way.

Seeing his performance at that time, Li Qian thought, if it wasn't for the inappropriate timing, "Farewell My Concubine" can be filmed now because Li Qian believes that the current Zhu Qiang can already play Cheng Dieyi well.

In contrast, although the scholar Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also a classic screen role, but to play such a role well, his difficulty is much inferior to that of Cheng Dieyi.

Zhu Qiang definitely has no problem.

Even after Li Qian and Jin Han both said Zhu Qiang's name, Jin Han sighed and said, "Before I read your script, I was thinking of making a movie about ghost fox and love. What kind of actor should I look for? At that time, the first thing I thought of was Zhu Qiang. Playing an ancient scholar, especially the feeling of being a pure scholar, no one can compare to him! I can basically confirm the outline of this version of the adapted story, you are going to write the character of this Ning Caichen in the movie that Zhu Qiang wrote!"

Of course Li Qian couldn't tell him that he had seen another wonderful Ning Caichen on the big screen, and his script was slightly modified from that version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

So he just smiled and said, "It's even better if you think he's suitable!"

After a pause, he said again: "Zhu Qiang has been honing his acting skills very carefully in the past few years, and I feel that he is almost done! If it wasn't for him being too handsome, in fact, in "Dragon Inn" , I want to recommend him to you, the big head of the East Factory, he is actually quite suitable."

Hearing this, Jin Han frowned and thought for a while, as if he was seriously considering Li Qian's proposal, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "No! It's so handsome! Makeup can't cover it!"

But soon he said: "But when I tell you to say this, I remember... In addition to being handsome, he really seems to have a little bit of a sense of righteousness and evil! Looking back, there is a suitable role, really Let him try to play that kind of villain!"

Li Qian smiled, "It's better to be a bit neurotic!"

Jin Han laughed loudly, "I'll tell Qiangzi your evaluation when I look back!"

When filming "The Legend of New White Snake", Jin Han was the director of photography, and his relationship with Zhu Qiang has always been very good.

So, the matter of Zhu Qiang was finalized.

According to the story and script of this version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" adapted from "Nie Xiaoqian", Jin Han has no opinion, which means that he can start the preparations for this film at any time.

It's just that Zhu Qiang currently has a tour in the theater, he has a contract, and he has expectations from the audience after he becomes famous. This is not easy to bounce tickets, so he must wait for the end of his national tour. But just right now, it can be left to Jin Han to do the preparatory work for the crew.

It is not uncommon for a movie to start shooting from project approval to three or four months as long as one or two years. "Dragon Inn" was prepared for more than half a year before it started filming.

However, after Ning Caichen's role was finalized, Jin Han quickly looked at Li Qian with a smile, winked, and asked, "Where's the heroine? Who do you think is suitable?"

Li Qian smiled bitterly.

This is a big head.

He Yingyu's image, especially her appearance, is actually a bit modern and delicate, so she can play a pure girl or a **** girl, but in fact, acting in a costume drama is somewhat inconsistent.

Makeup can solve part, acting can solve part, and camera angle can solve part, so, under the command and training of Jin Han, she beautifully completed the role of the proprietress Jin Xiangyu and successfully expanded her acting career. This doesn't change the fact that her image style is still hard.

Of course, this is not important.

The establishment of a character in a movie is a comprehensive matter. The actor's personal image, acting skills, costumes provided by the crew, tendencies of makeup, photography, and even lighting are all important. Of course, the most important thing is definitely the story. And the characters given by the script, so even Li Qian dare not say that He Yingyu can't play Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Maybe He Yingyu, who is now after the Phoenix ashes, can play an exceptionally brilliant Nie Xiaoqian!

Qin Jingjing's reasoning is exactly the same.

She was originally a beauty in ancient costumes, and her first role was Diaochan in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so there is no problem with her acting in ancient costumes. With the efforts of the crew and the wonderful plot and characters, if you want to say that a Berlin actor can't play a role that is not too complicated like Nie Xiaoqian, you will be underestimating the "movie". after".

Moreover, considering that they had to wait for Zhu Qiang in the first place, the filming of this drama would have to start at least a year later, so the schedules for both of them should be just right by then.

In addition, as far as the actresses of Minghu Culture are concerned, Lao Bai is too old to be suitable, and Zhao Yingying's appearance is somewhat lacking, which is not suitable.

Then, even a self-confessed acting like Lu Lingxi can't absolutely say that she can't play Nie Xiaoqian.

And Jiang Yiyi, Cheng Suping, Zhao Qing...

But the original left a deep impression on Li Qian.

It was so deep that Li Qian didn't know how to choose this version of Nie Xiaoqian for a while.

So he tried to ask Jin Han, "What do you think? Who do you think is more suitable?"

Jin Han thought about it for a moment and asked, "Can you tell the truth?"

Li Qian laughed, "Nonsense! Of course I have to tell the truth!"

Jin Han raised Erlang's legs and said, "Actually... I'm talking about my feelings! Whether it's watching the original "Nie Xiaoqian" or your version of the story outline and script, my feelings... For this group of actresses, I don't think they are actually suitable."

Li Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he leaned over slightly and asked, "How do you say it?"

Jin Han said: "The character Nie Xiaoqian is very unique. When I read your script, I was even more certain about this! This character, I made it, must be of a particularly beautiful type. She is floating, but she can't be a fairy. It's stinky, it doesn't eat human fireworks, no way! I have to bring a little... how should I say it? I can't describe it very well, so you can understand it as a bit of a ghost!"

"If you think about it from this angle, you can understand what I mean. We can't use those actors who already have a very clear image positioning in the audience's heart!"

"Xiaoyu has a savage girlfriend, a **** dress like "The Matrix", and a lady boss. Her image is said to be complicated and changeable. The drama is open, but it is already mixed, and it is not easy to appear that kind of role. When it appears... wow! The eyes are bright! You must understand that feeling, right?"

Seeing Li Qian slowly nodding, he added, "Actually, I've been thinking about Fu Hongxue and Qin Jingjing. They can be regarded as the two best actors of their generation. But Fu Hongxue played Su Daji, and they played them well. So successful! You think, the thousand-year-old demon king, that kind of enchanting energy, no way! I want this Nie Xiaoqian, it must be pure! Qin Jingjing is also not suitable! If you say this, don't despise me, the reason is that her acting skills are so good In my opinion, the role of Nie Xiaoqian is a picky character, and I don't pick on acting skills! I'm not afraid of poor acting skills, as long as she looks in line with the image in my heart! Qin Jingjing's acting skills are too fierce, it doesn't suit my role in shaping this character I need it! I'm really afraid that she will show this female ghost to me with complicated emotions, then this ghost will not be beautiful!"

As he said, Li Qian frowned, and when he finished speaking, Li Qian nodded.

Not to mention, it makes sense.

Seriously speaking, in the original version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zuxian is also better than the image, in fact, he really has to care about his acting skills, hehe...

So Li Qian asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Jin Han's answer was unequivocal, "Audition! You might even consider having an audition!"

Li Qian thought about it for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~ nodded slowly and said, "Also!"

But he still didn't forget to add, "An audition is an audition, and the actors in the company should also be given a chance, let them all participate in the audition!"

Jin Han nodded cheerfully, "No problem! Then... so it's settled?"

Li Qian knows that Jin Han has always been an ambitious director.

And an ambitious director will not be willing to be stuck with characters and actors in every play. When filming "Dragon Inn", he had no choice. The key was that he had no confidence. Therefore, the cast configuration of He Yingyu, Zhou Zhiyu and Cheng Suping was of course his best choice.

But now, he has succeeded, and he has the confidence.

Therefore, the truth he said certainly exists, and it is not without reason, but in the end, in Li Qian's opinion, it is very likely that this truth has a greater role in helping him to make He Yingyu, Qin Jingjing and others famous within Minghu Culture. The actresses are blocked.

He wants to build his own team!
