The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 487 Casting for
For Chen Shuo, defeating Nathan and others will not bring him much benefit, but by fighting them, he can make the experience in his dream his own.
Therefore, my goal is not to win against them, but to hone my abilities through them.
If he could control the outcome, that would be the biggest gain for him.
After all, for him, Sora has strong physical fitness and talent, but no corresponding actual combat experience.
Although I had been fighting since childhood, it was just a child’s play, which was different from their professional counterparts who relied on fighting to make a living.
Moreover, it has only been four short years since he received the inheritance of the bard. To have such a big change is already a sign that the bard’s professional ability is strong.
Next, Chen Shuo competed with Anthony, who was a swordsmanship coach. With his gift of sword heart clarity, he easily adapted to how to use swords correctly in real fighting.
Although it is more dangerous than the sword, unlike the battle with Nathan, Chen Shuo adapted more quickly.
In the bare-handed fighting competition, Chen Shuo didn’t dare to resist Nathan’s punch due to his physique. He was a lot bigger than him in terms of body size.
As for Nathan, with his strong physical fitness, he wished that Chen Shuo would hit him and then seize the opportunity to fight back.
The sword fight was different. Although Anthony was experienced, Chen Shuo didn’t dare to resist his sword, and he also didn’t dare to resist Chen Shuo’s sword.
After all, this is a sharp weapon, and no one with a mortal body can be exempted from it.
When the two competed, Chen Shuo could easily control the rhythm of the battle because of his Lingbo Weibu.
In this way, it is equivalent to holding the key to victory or defeat in one’s own hands.
When he fought against Brando, there was another flip. As a spear coach, Brando himself was very powerful.
When he demonstrated his spear skills, he asked someone to stand three meters away with a stack of newspapers, and he pierced the newspaper with a shake of his hand and a spear.
This move not only demonstrated his strength, but also allowed Chen Shuo to see his strong psychological quality.
Without absolute confidence in one’s own strength, it would be impossible to strike that blow without hesitation.
In today’s society, no one takes human life seriously.
As the saying goes, a sword and a stick last a lifetime.
Chen Shuo, who had no talent for long weapons or even spears, relied solely on his own skills and physical fitness, which was not enough to make up for this gap in experience.
One has never practiced spearing except for filming, and the other has been immersed in spearing for half his life. The gap accumulated over time cannot be easily bridged.
But in general, Chen Shuo gained a lot from the battle with the three people. This gain was not in terms of fame, but in terms of experience.
His own physical fitness and natural abilities are like a thick and broad cornerstone, but his actual achievements have not turned into an exquisite building.
But now, with the hard work of three people, his progress has been rapid.
In addition, he also perfectly achieved his original goal, experiencing their battle-tested momentum and integrating it into the action design.
Really, after having actual combat experience, Chen Shuo gained a deeper understanding of action design.
Although I have seen a lot in the past and experienced a lot in dreams, my control over the details of the movements is not that good.
Now, he has experienced it himself, and he has learned it through fighting against the world’s top actual combat elites.
Now let him design the action, and he can clearly present the strength and ideas of both sides to the audience by grasping some action details.
Let them understand what they want to express even if they don’t understand fighting.
Some fighting enthusiasts and even professional fighters can easily discover the professionalism and rationality of these movements through these movements.
In other words, it not only allows insiders to see the door, but also allows laymen to watch the excitement.
The group of them said goodbye and left after watching several battle scenes shot by Jet Li.
Now the crew has been preparing for a long time and can officially start shooting.
After returning to the Imperial Capital, Chen Shuo, Cheng Xiaodong and others took advantage of the final preparation stage of the crew to sort out the actions of Yu Bo and others to enhance their practicality and visibility.
During this period, Ning Hao, under the auspices of Jiang Xuerou, discussed with Liu Dehua and Han Sanpin, and the three companies jointly produced it.
Of course, the real filming team is still dominated by Ning Hao and his team, and the others are just helpers.
At the same time, the name of the film was also changed to “Crazy Stone” at Andy Lau’s request.
Ning Hao chose Shancheng as the filming location in Shancheng, Yangcheng, Jiangcheng and other places.
The criss-crossing roads in the mountain city made it easier for him to show the dense plot lines in the story and create all kinds of coincidences.
Regarding the selection of actors, his opinions were also followed. The male lead Bao Shihong was originally supposed to be played by Sun Honglei, but due to unlucky timing, Ning Hao chose Guo Tao to play this role.
Liu Hua, who also has a rich resume, stars as Brother Dao, Huang Bo plays Heipi, and Yue Xiaojun also joins them to form a three-person theft gang.
Ning Hao met a person in the mountain city named Wang Xun who was from the military art troupe. He asked him to play the role of Four Eyes, secretary to the real estate agent Mr. Feng.
Yang Junyi, who had a small role in “Jian Yu Jiang Hu”, was also invited by him to play the role of Sambo, a worker in the factory security department, and he also had a lot of roles.
Yang Rong played the role of Bao Shihong’s wife, a bus conductor. Although she didn’t have many roles, she was quite satisfied.
Even Chen Shuo was invited by him to play the role of an international thief invited by real estate developer Feng Dong.
Originally, he wanted to cast Andy Lau as a real estate agent. Although this role does not have many roles, it still has an important impact on the plot.
However, during this period, Andy Lau was not only busy filming his own movie, but also supervising the production of “Gemini Thieves”, so he couldn’t get away from it at all.
In order to show support for him, his good friend Lian was specially sent to help.
After meeting Lian Jin, Ning Hao looked at him horizontally and felt that he did not look like a black-hearted boss, but more like the pretentious international thief Mike.
After thinking for a while, he went to Chen Shuo and said, “Mr. Chen, it’s like this. I feel that Lian Jin is not suitable to be that real estate businessman.”
Chen Shuo has also seen Lien Jin, and his smile gives people a kind feeling, but I don’t know if it’s because of his acting habits or something, but when he plays a bad guy, he always feels stylized.
Especially since he has a slight accent and plays a rich man doing business in a mountain city, it always feels inconsistent.
Chen Shuo thought for a moment and said, “How about this, I give up my role to him, and then I let Brother Bo play the role of Mr. Feng?
With his acting skills and abilities, it would be no problem to play such a grumpy, sinister and vicious rich man. “
“Okay, okay.” Ning Hao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: “But I still want to ask Mr. Chen to play a role to add a publicity point to our drama.
I’m not saying that Teacher Yu Bo is inappropriate, but look, if Brother Liu Dehua doesn’t come, and if you don’t come, let’s… right? “
Although he didn’t say it clearly, Chen Shuo also understood what he meant and still wanted to take advantage of Chen Shuo’s fame.
“Then you can’t let me play Director Feng, right? At my age, it’s not appropriate to play such a role.”
Ning Hao said tentatively: “Look, how about you play Xie Xiaomeng?”
“Xie Xiaomeng?” Chen Shuo thought about the role of this character.
He is a photographer who cheats girls, the son of factory director Xie, a cowardly playboy,
After hooking up with Brother Dao’s girlfriend, he was severely punished by Brother Dao and the other three. Then he took off his clothes and tied him up, hoping to trade him for jadeite from Director Xie.
After that, he was basically either beaten or stuffed in a suitcase.
He doesn’t have many scenes, but he is also a tragic comedy character who relies on his own misfortune to earn the audience’s laughter.
“Okay, let’s take this role.” Chen Shuo nodded. He was quite optimistic about this drama. He didn’t care whether the role was different or not.
The play itself belongs to their company, and playing this role is equivalent to a guest appearance, which has no impact on him.
“Okay!” Ning Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: “I will let someone add drama to this character.”
While speaking, he was already thinking about how to improve the weight of this role.
“No need.” Chen Shuo raised his hand to stop him: “Unless you plan to change the protagonist, this character is fine as it is.
Your drama will be filmed at about the same time as “Sword Rain”, so I will have to find time to film the scenes.
Also, I have a movie to promote in July.
If you really add too many scenes, I may not have the time. “
On July 15, “Initial D”, which was filmed last year, will be officially released in the summer season.
This is to maximize the enthusiasm of fans of Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun for watching the movie.
Both of them are not too old, and most of their fans are students, so they can cater to them during the summer vacation.
“Okay.” Ning Hao couldn’t help but feel a little regretful, but mostly relieved.
It is not always a good thing to invite big-name actors to participate in the film. It is not only a matter of salary, but the role you give must also be worthy of their reputation.
Although he always doesn’t take the script seriously, he is the first to be reluctant if his script really needs to be significantly revised.
Now, it would be best to be able to take advantage of Chen Shuo’s fame without making major revisions to the script.
Chen Shuo nodded and asked: “As for the role of Feng Dong, should you find someone yourself, or should I tell Brother Bo?”
Ning Hao said simply: “Mr. Chen, please tell Mr. Yu Bo, and I will go through Manager Shan to invite him to participate in the show.”
“Okay, send me a copy of Xie Xiaomeng’s scene later.”
“okay.”
Neither of them said anything about remuneration. Chen Shuo’s participation in the film can be regarded as the company’s support for his work.
If this drama can make money, it will be worth more than giving Chen Shuo a salary of one million.
You must know that Chen Shuo took a fancy to him and this drama and recommended it to the company.
If this drama can be successful, he deserves at least half of the credit.
Let his vision of people and investment be recognized by others, and more people will choose to support him unconditionally no matter which movie he wants to invest in or film in the future.
After settling on the actors and location, Ning Hao took a group of people to the mountain city to prepare. They needed to inspect the scenery in advance, prepare all the preparations, and then start work as soon as possible.
After all, they don’t have much money and don’t have much time to kill.
