1857 [Preparatory Work]
Xia Tian looked at Sun Xing carefully and nodded in his heart.
In fact, Sun Xing is not particularly handsome in terms of appearance. Not to mention that compared with Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and others in the film industry, even at ATV, they are not at the forefront, and are inferior to He Jiajin, Wu Zhenyu, Jiang Hua, Zeng Weiquan, Tang Zhenzong and others.
However, his elegant and unrestrained prodigal temperament, Feng Liu, has greatly added points to him, causing his charm to rise sharply, especially his lethality to women.
In his previous life, the roles such as Bai Yutang, Yang Xiao, Chen Gongzi, and Harada Hiroshi have been obsessed with by many fans, and even became more popular than the male lead. It has to be said that it is a miracle.
However, the role played by Sun Xing is both good and evil. He is also on the evil path in life. He was caught by the police in a year and his career was almost destroyed. It was a pity.
"Famousness and fortune are a double-edged sword, and it is easy to hurt oneself if he hurts his enemies. If he has no fame and no extra money, will he still go on the evil path?" Xia Tian looked at Sun Xing and said regretfully.
To be honest, he likes Sun Xing quite a bit. When he watched "The Immortal Wife in Family" in his previous life, he was fascinated by this handsome and funny young master Chen, who was both Fengliu and funny, and thought that he should be the male protagonist in the play, not the big nostrils of the Bang Chacha.
Therefore, I later heard that he was involved in drug use, and Xia Tian felt very sorry for him. Although he was such a good actor, he had good looks and acting skills, and could act in dramas and comedies. Although he was not the most popular, he had to make a lot of film appointments and had no worries about making a living. He still had to involve drug use. It can only be said that he was burned with too much money.
So now Xia Tian is considering whether he should play "Linghu Chong". He is worried that after Sun Xing becomes popular, he will not be able to control his bathing hopes and repeat the same mistakes again. For him, becoming famous is not to help him but to harm him.
But think about it on the other hand, even if Sun Xing is an ordinary person, if he can't control his bathing, he will still be degenerate. After all, not all the people involved in drug use are celebrities, but more ordinary people.
"Oh, forget it, it's up to him. I'm not his parents, so I can't worry about his future." Xia Tian sighed, then waved his hand to Sun Xing, "Don't be nervous, sit down and say."
"Yes, Mr. Xia." Sun Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Xia Tian just looked at him for a long time and didn't say anything, which scared him to death. She thought Xia Tian was very dissatisfied with him and wanted to fire him.
If that is the case, he will be worse than death. Don’t say how outsiders will mock him, even he himself cannot stand the blow of gain and loss.
"I brought you here just to remind you a few words. This time you were selected to play "Linghu Chong" is a rare opportunity for you. I hope you should also cherish this opportunity and perform with your heart. Don't think that if you are elected, it's okay. If you perform poorly, I will replace you at any time." Xia Tian said immediately.
When Sun Xing heard this, he nodded quickly, "Mr. Xia, please rest assured. I will definitely cherish this opportunity and will never mess around."
"Well, okay, remember what you said." Xia Tian nodded, "In addition, you don't have to pay attention to the doubts outside. Because nothing you say now is useless. The only thing you can do is to perform good shows for them and use actual results to shut them up."
When Sun Xing heard Xia Tian say this, he suddenly felt like a close friend. In fact, that's what he thought.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, I've recorded it." He nodded heavily.
"Okay, it's okay, go and do it." Xia Tian nodded. When Sun Xing got up and was about to go out, he suddenly called Sun Xing, "By the way, after you are selected, you will automatically become the focus, and every move may be paid attention to. So if you have any bad habits, it is best to quit, don't be caught, otherwise you will be ruined. Do you understand?"
When Sun Xing heard this, he suddenly felt nervous.
He really didn't realize this problem before, but now that Xia Tian said this, he immediately became nervous.
Xia Tian said it well. Since he was selected to play "Linghu Chong", he has offended many people. I don't know how many people want to watch him get unlucky and make mistakes. So once he makes a mistake and gets caught in a small braid, the outcome must be very miserable.
"I get it, Mr. Xia." He nodded gratefully.
"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded too.
...
After the cast was settled, the preparations for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" began to unfold vigorously.
Hu Jinquan is a very attentive director. He has very strict requirements in terms of clothing, styling, location, etc. For example, because the time when "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" was set in the Ming Dynasty, the actors' costumes must meet the styles of the Ming Dynasty.
Like the flying fish clothes of Jinyiwei, the fan clothes of Dongchang, the robe of Huashan School, the Miao people's clothing, the Japanese pirates' clothing, etc., they were all carefully inspected and designed and then handed over to the clothing factory to make. It can be said that they are meticulous.
In comparison, other directors are not so particular about filming. It is common for people from the Song Dynasty to wear Ming Dynasty clothes, eat food that only exists in the Qing Dynasty, and live in Tang Dynasty-style houses.
In terms of locations, Xia Tian originally hoped that Director Hu could shoot in the mainland. After all, there were many famous mountains and rivers in the mainland, and it was the best place for martial arts films, which was much better than the artificial sets in the studio.
However, after considering it, Director Hu decided to shoot in Taiwan.
First, he has been in Taiwan for many years and has traveled all over Taiwan, so a certain scene is already in his mind. Choosing an outdoor spot from it is like a pattern of viewing at the palm of his palm, which is more convenient.
He hasn't been back in the mainland for many years. To be honest, he has almost forgotten it. It is not that easy to find a suitable location.
Second, the Taiwanese authorities currently have many restrictions on filmmakers going to mainland China to film. Hu Jinquan's family is located in Taiwan, so he dare not be too rash.
Just when the preparations for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" were in full swing, Xia Tian also wrote the script of "Woman Forty" and handed it over to Xu Anhua.
After Xu Anhua received the script, he was shocked and immediately started to prepare. As for the heroine, Xiao Fangfang was naturally chosen. Apart from her, Xia Tian couldn't imagine who else could play the role of "A'e".
As for the male protagonist, he did not choose the original version of Qiao Hong, but chose Zhong Jinghui from ATV, which is Bao Qingtian in "Bao Qingtian".
Zhong Jinghui is a well-known drama educator in Hong Kong, the dean of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, and his own stage drama actor and director. It is really needless to say. It is also very suitable for him to play the role of the father-in-law with Alzheimer's disease.
As for supporting actors, Yue Hua originally recommended himself and wanted to star in it. However, he has taken on "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" again and wants to play Yue Buqun in it, so the schedule is not wrong.
After considering the summer, Liao Qizhi was recommended to play this role. Although Liao Qizhi was not very famous, he was a famous drama artist. He graduated from the wireless artist training class in 1979 and participated in "Shanghai Bund" in 1980s, and his performance was already eye-catching. Later, when he developed in the film industry, he also won the recognition of the Film Awards many times.
