Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 357 358 [It’s a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk]

"Thank you Minister Qi." Xiang Nan nodded, "I'm here today to see how the preparations for "Garland Under the Mountain" and "The Wrangler" are going, and what else I can help with. "

"Oh, thank you in advance." Qi Bin cupped his hands and smiled, then sighed again, "The preparations for "The Garland Under the Mountain" are not bad, the script has been drawn, and the location is being selected, the actors The selection is also going on right away. The only thing left is that the funds are not yet fully in place, and it may take another month or two."

  Xiang Nan was quite surprised when he heard this.

  According to this preparation method, it would be good if "Greath under the Mountain" can be launched next year.

  In comparison, in the entertainment industry 40 years later, it would basically take half a year for a movie to go from preparation to finalization. If it was performed by the Xiangjiang team, it would even take less than a month.

  However, later generations pay more attention to income when making movies. The sooner the filming is finished, the sooner it will be released, and the sooner the cost will be paid back, so the sooner the better.

   Now when making movies, we pay more attention to quality. From script to script, from interior to exterior, from costumes to props, from front stage to behind the scenes, the requirements are extremely high.

  Like the movie "The Wrangler", before the filming started, the heroine Cong Shan was sent to the brick factory by director Xie Jin because she was too beautiful, and her skin and tender flesh were not like rural people. He didn't return to the set until his skin was tanned and his fingers were rough.

  Compared to this, some artists of later generations are not happy even with a little ugly makeup, not to mention spending so much effort to experience life.

  So, surprise is nothing but surprise, Xiang Nan still admires these filmmakers now.

   "Then how are the preparations for The Wrangler?" He asked curiously again.

   "This movie is more troublesome, because the content is more sensitive, so the opinions of the above are not unified." Qi Bin explained again.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

  As a web writer, I am really no stranger to this reason.

However, he knew that "The Wrangler" could still be filmed sooner or later, so he was not worried at all. Instead, he laughed and joked, "So that's the case. But I have already spent the remuneration. Even if the film is not made, I will not refund your money." of."

   "Don't worry, we won't ask for it." Qi Bin also laughed.

  …

  In the next period of time, Xiang Nan visited cultural relic shops, Liulichang, and Panjiayuan during the day, and began to write "Latent" at night.

  He liked watching this TV series very much back then.

  First of all, the story is meticulous, no matter whether it is decent or villain, all of them have high IQ, and there is no intention to make the villain become idiot in order to highlight the protagonist.

  Secondly, the acting skills are outstanding, no matter the protagonists Sun Honglei and Yao Chen, or the supporting roles Zu Feng and Wu Gang, they all performed very well, and no one pulled their hips.

  That's why Xiang Nan was so impressed with this play, that's why he wanted to change it into a novel and publish it.

  …

  In September, Xiang Nan suddenly received a notice from Beijing Film Studio, asking him to audition.

  Xiang Nan happily went, came to Beijing Film Studio, and entered the office.

   "Liu Feng, let me introduce you. This is the director of our movie, Mr. Xie Jin." Xiao Ma helped introduce.

  He is now a member of the creative team, responsible for revising the script, changing the lines, writing the script and so on.

   "Director Xie, hello, I've heard of you for a long time!" Xiang Nan hurried over to shake hands when he heard this.

   "Comrade Liu Feng, I have admired your name for a long time." Xie Jin also smiled enthusiastically, "Your novels, songs, and scripts are all very well written. It's really amazing."

   "You're flattering yourself." Xiang Nan smiled, being so praised by Director Xie Jin made him feel more honored. After all, he is the number one director in mainland China.

   "It's not a compliment, I always like to tell the truth." Xie Jin smiled, "To be honest, I'm chasing after your "The Years of Burning Passion", which is really well written.

  Shi Guangrong and Chu Qin, they are exactly like the few friends around me. It can be seen that Comrade Liu Feng still has a lot of life!

  But Shi Jing and Hu Dakai are written so well by you, will there be twists and turns in the future? Surely you wouldn't let them just be together? "

   "Director Xie, please forgive me for being a joke, so I won't tell you a spoiler, so as not to spoil your interest in reading." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

   "Haha, interesting." Xie Jin clapped his hands and laughed.

  If someone else knows that he likes to read his novels, in order to please him, he may directly tell the ending. Xiang Nan refused to give him a spoiler, and what he said was quite interesting, which immediately changed his view of this young man.

  …

   After chatting for a while, Xie Jin smiled at Xiang Nan again, "Comrade Liu Feng, you want to participate in the audition, so which role do you want to play?"

   "I'm still very interested in the role of Liang Sanxi." Xiang Nan laughed.

  Liang Sanxi is the leading actor in "The Garland Under the Mountain". He was born in a martyr family.

  Xiang Nan thought to himself that he would fit this role very well. On the one hand, Liu Feng is from the poor province of Qilu and was born in a poor family. His family background is similar to that of Liang Sanxi, and he has a deep resonance with this character.

   On the one hand, his external conditions are also similar to Liang Sanxi. Liang Sanxi is a farm boy, not handsome, even a bit rustic. And Liu Feng looks very simple, not the kind of handsome or creamy boy.

   "There are many people who want to play this role. How confident do you think you will be chosen?" Xie Jin said with a smile, "After all, you haven't received professional training, and your acting skills may be weak."

"Director Xie, to be honest, I don't think this role is mine." Xiang Nan smiled, "You say that my acting skills are poor, but I don't agree with that. It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. You haven't seen it yet How about my acting, how do you know my acting is bad?"

   "Okay, since you are so confident, let's try it." Xie Jin nodded, "Do you remember the ninth scene in Act Eight, can you act it?"

  Xiang Nan nodded. This scene was about Liang Sanxi arguing with Zhao Mengsheng. When Zhao Mengsheng heard that the company was going to the battlefield, he felt timid and wanted to be transferred back. Liang Sanxi called him a deserter, which aroused Zhao Mengsheng's anger.

  This drama still tests the acting skills of the actors, not only the control of emotions, but also the skills of lines. After all, when a person is in a hurry, it is easy to talk. If the lines are not deep, then it will really become a toad.

Xiang Nan brewed his emotions for a while, and then began to perform, "Comrade Zhao Mengsheng, you don't know that you are wearing a military uniform! Now in front of you, you are on a hurdle. It's okay to take a step forward, and take a step back. What are you still!!"

  Xiang Nan has inherited Fang Yifan's acting skills for many years. In terms of lines, expressions, eyes, body, movements, etc., he can be said to be quite excellent, and he is definitely not inferior to professional actors.

  Xie Jin couldn't help but change his face when he saw Xiang Nan's performance.
