Chapter 280 Lao Xu

After her daughter's full moon drink, Lin Zixuan did not forget the idea that came to her at that time.

When he saw Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei standing together, he felt that if they were asked to play Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, they would have an unexpected effect.

This is not the result of careful thinking, but a sudden flash of thought.

As for Xu Jinglei's costume look and whether he can play well, he doesn't know, anyway, it doesn't matter if he tries it.

In September, the book "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been published nationwide. The news from the publishing house has good sales. There are a large number of martial arts novel enthusiasts in China, and it is optimistic that it can sell about 200,000 copies.

This kind of sales are naturally not as good as that of the famous martial arts masters of SIPG and Taiwan, mainly because Lin Zixuan and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are not influential enough.

When the TV series is broadcast, it may drive the sales of novels.

Zhang Jizhong is preparing to start filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the end of October. He is looking for locations and selecting actors. He is determined to compete with Hong Kong's martial arts dramas and is particularly attentive in preparation.

Xiangjiang's martial arts dramas are deeply rooted in the mainland, and audiences think that is the classic.

It has to be admitted that in terms of martial arts dramas, Xiangjiang has a complete operating model. Most of the actors in Xiangjiang have acted in martial arts dramas, or it is easier to make their debut in martial arts dramas.

In Xiangjiang, martial arts dramas have become a culture, just like the romance dramas on Baodao.

If you want to shoot a martial arts drama that is different from Xiangjiang, you must not only start with martial arts design, but also think of other ways.

The martial arts scenes in Xiangjiang are a big problem. There is no realism in shooting in the studio.

As for the drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the Baylor Mansion and the Nine Gate Admiral's mansion are easy to find real scenes in the capital for shooting, and even the royal gardens are fine.

Nowadays, many Hong Kong and Taiwan crews come to the mainland to film, just to pursue the sense of reality, but the cost is relatively high.

Zhang Jizhong was not satisfied with filming at the film and television base, and also chose many locations to overwhelm the Hong Kong martial arts dramas on large scenes.

In addition to the location, the candidates for Yu Jiaolong's actors have not been finalized yet.

This is not to say that Zhang Jizhong is too picky, but Yu Jiaolong is the protagonist of this drama and should be carefully chosen.

The actor's appearance is second, mainly because his temperament must be consistent.

Yu Jiaolong is the daughter of the nine gates of the capital, and the lady of an official family. She is favored by her parents, talented and intelligent, and has received a good education since childhood. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a noble character.

At the same time, she practiced martial arts secretly and became a martial arts master. She was arrogant and different from ordinary officials.

She has no experience in the world, she acts willfully, both good and evil, and acts entirely based on personal preferences. She is mentally rebellious and cannot break free from the constraints of tradition. She is a very complex character.

It is not easy to interpret these two different temperaments.

Lin Zixuan told Lin Xiaoling that Xu Jinglei was the role of Yu Jiaolong when she asked Xu Jinglei to audition on the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

At the Beijing Film Academy, the girls' dormitories are all in one building, which is the famous dormitory building No. 2.

Think about it, dozens of girls in the fourth grade of the Performance Department of the Film Academy live here, and naturally attracts much attention. There are a large number of boys waiting downstairs every day.

"This is a script, I took it secretly." Lin Xiaoling explained, "My brother thought you were suitable for the role of Yu Jiaolong after seeing you last time, so he asked you to go to the crew to audition."

"I'll play Yu Jiaolong?" Xu Jinglei said in surprise, "Can I do it?"

Of course she knew who Yu Jiaolong was. When watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she felt very sympathetic to Yu Jiaolong.

Yu Jiaolong was kidnapped by the thief Luo Xiaohu on the way back to the capital. When the two got along, they had a secret relationship. Luo Xiaohu sent Yu Jiaolong back and came to the capital. Yu Jiaolong was unwilling to marry Lu Hanlin according to his father's order and wanted to resist his marriage, so he stole the Qingming Sword and went around the world alone.

From the perspective of a girl, Xu Jinglei is extremely supportive of this kind of resistance to arranged marriages.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing your own happiness, but in the end, Yu Jiaolong couldn't leave his family and left Luo Xiaohu, which was also a pity.

When reading the novel, she stood on Yu Jiaolong's side.

However, reading novels is one thing, and playing the characters in the novel is another. Although she is a student in the performance department, she has always had little confidence in her performance.

"Why can't you do it? My brother has a very accurate vision. He thinks that if you can play well, you will definitely play well." Lin Xiaoling encouraged.

Lin Zixuan didn't say that, but just asked Xu Jinglei to try it out. Lin Xiaoling took the opportunity to play.

On the one hand, Xu Jinglei was delighted because of Lin Zixuan's recognition, but on the other hand, she was worried that she could not control such a complicated character, so she was a little worried about gains and losses and was very unconfident.

"Okay, I'll try it." Xu Jinglei nodded.

The result was not ideal. He was defeated during the first round of interviews and never met director Zhang Jizhong.

"She was too nervous and forgot the words." Lin Xiaoling said depressedly, "Brother, you don't know that Jinglei doesn't like acting much in school, and it's even worse to face the camera."

After getting along these days, Lin Xiaoling also learned about some of Xu Jinglei's deeds, but the main reason was that she was not confident.

"Then you still ask her to play the heroine?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.

"She is like this in front of strangers, just wait until she gets familiar with it. My film is still early, and I can wait slowly if I have time to get started." Lin Xiaoling explained.

"This is how you bring her here, I'll talk to her and analyze it for her." Lin Zixuan thought for a while and decided to say.

He didn't expect Xu Jinglei to have such problems in his performance, so he understood it after thinking about it. Ge You was also shy. When he was a child, his legs trembled as soon as he went on stage and he was unwilling to perform.

It's still the same now. When there are too many people, I can't adapt and want to hide behind. This is a personality problem.

Everyone will have various difficulties at the beginning, and it is necessary to encourage appropriately.

Lin Zixuan felt that Ge You should ask him to guide Xu Jinglei. He would try it now. If it really doesn’t work, forget it. Then he will talk about it later. People will always learn to change slowly.

In this way, Xu Jinglei and Lin Zixuan had a long talk under the tree in the Siheyuan.

It was mainly Lin Zixuan and Xu Jinglei who said it.

They talked about a lot of topics, from analyzing the role of Yu Jiaolong, to the various problems encountered by the actors at the filming scene, to life and ideals, etc., mainly to enhance Xu Jinglei's confidence.

Although Lin Zixuan doesn’t know how to perform, he has worked with different actors and has some experience after watching it for a lot.

Before leaving, he gave the first version of "To Live" to Xu Jinglei, which was a gift for meeting.

On the title page, he wrote a sentence: Given to Lao Xu, he is full of poetry and literature.

Xu Jinglei saw it and she liked the title "Lao Xu". If it was "Xiao Xu", it means that the relationship between the two was not equal.

Lao Xu is very kind, just like a friend, and this feeling is very good. (To be continued.)
