What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 169 Listen to the Director

Regarding the arrangement of the main roles, except for Sister Tao playing Du Ju, Liu Man basically agrees, but he is surprised that Yang Shu chose Liu Dan: "Who is she?"

Yang Shu has already collected some information on the Internet: "An actress from the National Theater, who has been in the theater for more than [-] years, I think she is very suitable for the role of Tao Yinghong."

Tao Yinghong is the wife of the driver Huang Ju, a chemistry teacher, and a quality inspector in a chemical factory. She is neatly dressed and looks indifferent. She carries a red plastic bag with her. The pressure cooker in the plastic bag is actually a homemade bomb, the instigator of the explosion.

Liu Man looked through the materials seriously: "But I don't seem to have seen her play."

"She is Huang Lei and Jiang Wu's college classmate at Nortel. She looks rather ordinary. She is mainly doing drama performances, but she is also an old green leaf in film and television dramas. She often plays small supporting roles such as mothers and teachers, but she has never given her any attention. The audience leaves an impression."

In addition, Liu Dan studied in Japan in his early years, his husband is Japanese, and he spent a considerable amount of time developing his career in Japan.

Yang Shu turned to a page: "Her masterpiece is the old film "Night Train" ten years ago. The director Diao Yinan is the one who made "Love Spicy Hot Pot" and "Bathing". It won an award at the film festival, but I’m afraid not many people in China have seen it.”

In this movie, Liu Dan plays an ordinary bailiff in the court. Her husband died of illness and has been celibate for ten years. Her life of sexual anguish is bleak and boring. Her daily job is to escort prisoners and execute them.

It seems that the last hope in life is going to a marriage agency once a week, but her career keeps men away.

A female prisoner was sentenced to death for intentional homicide, and Liu Dan executed the death sentence. The husband of the female prisoner hated the silent policewoman because of this, and often followed her and waited for an opportunity to assassinate her.

However, under the teasing of fate, the two lonely hearts came together.

Yang Shu has watched this movie, and introduced Liu Man to watch it too: "I like her performance in this work, almost Tao Yinghong's state."

"I'll find time to take a look. She is now 45 or six years old, and she is in line with her age. Why is this movie called "Night Train"?"

"The night train came out of the darkness and into the darkness."

There are other passengers on the bus, but these roles are not demanding and can be replaced, so there is no need to contact them early to make a appointment, just find a suitable one at that time.

It was almost midnight when the discussion was over, and Liu Man was about to go back to his room to rest, so he said naturally: "Needless to say, the male protagonist Xiao Heyun, you must be the one to act."

The male protagonist Xiao Heyun is an ordinary programmer, a white-faced scholar, gentle and elegant, his job is to construct a world view in the game world, and his logical thinking is meticulous. He and the female protagonist Li Shiqing became lovers in the process of searching for the truth.

"Why must I play the role?" In fact, Yang Shu has been hesitating about this matter, so he skipped the male lead: "I haven't decided who will play the male lead."

Liu Man was a little surprised: "There is no hesitation, who will act if you don't act?"

Yang Shu is really hesitant: "The three of us collaborated a lot in "World Wonderful Events". Last year, we co-starred in "Heavenly Love Letter". If we keep doing trio, won't we be aesthetically tired?"

"What kind of aesthetic fatigue? I don't think so. In fact, the three of us don't work together much."

"Not much? Why do I think it's quite a lot, don't annoy the audience."

"That's because we have been working together. In fact, you only starred in "Mystery Taxi", "Future Classmates", "Love Letter from Heaven" and "Warrior". It's showing your face with soy sauce, where did the three-person turn come from?"

"Maybe from my point of view, I am always writing, directing and acting myself, so I can't help but feel a little worried, so I hesitate whether the hero of "The Beginning" should change to a new face."

"I think it's better to forget it. I can't think of anyone who is more suitable to play with Shishi. You have always played opposite me in "Lovers at the Table", "Future Classmates" and "Love Letter from Heaven". The poem doesn't even have a line."

The role of Yang Shu in "Heavenly Love Letter" only appeared in the school days, and he did not have a rivalry with Shi Shi. Strictly speaking, if he starred in "The Beginning", it should be regarded as the first time the two of them co-starred.

Yang Shu's hesitation is of course not an act of hypocrisy, and there is no need for it. It is just the anxiety of being a creator and the pressure of success.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. This year "Warrior" will be released. If everything goes well, "The Beginning" will be broadcast in the second half of the year. Don't overexpose it and let the audience feel that it is me."

"You are indeed overthinking. When you read Happy Twist's works, you are not looking forward to the cooperation of Shen Teng, Ma Li, and Ai Lun. There are only a few people who come and go, and no one says they are tired."

"Do you think I am suitable for this role? This is a game architect, a young intellectual, and the image and temperament must be suitable. Don't screw up this drama because of a soft spot."

"Who has a special liking for you?" Liu Man looked him up and down: "Why is it inappropriate? I think it's good. I spend more time at home during this period of time. It's more suitable for Shishi when I cover my white spots."

These words were sour, Yang Shu pulled her over and sat on his lap: "Director Liu, our acting is wrong, I should beg you to give me a role, and then you subtly rule me, right?"

Liu Man was amused by him: "Why do you talk nonsense all day long, have you ever thought about when and where the filming of this movie will start?"

"This movie is set in Jialin City, which does not exist in reality. I plan to start filming in Xiamen in April. Xiamen is already quite hot in April. I can shoot summer scenes. If I really want to wait for summer to shoot, it will be too hot. gone."

In fact, the original version of "The Beginning" was also filmed in Xiamen, which was called Jiahe Island and Jiahe Qianhusuo in ancient times. This story has a real source of inspiration, and it is certainly not accidental to choose to shoot here.

"Okay, the scenery of Xiamen Island is good, and many dramas have been filmed there in the past two years."

Liu Man calculated with her fingers: "This drama has fifteen episodes. According to the progress of filming TV series, it should be finished in two months, and then it will take another month for post-production. When it is finished, it will be sent to various platforms for review, just in time for "Warrior" to be released. , when we finish working on "Warrior" and almost enter September, then "The Beginning" should be able to air."

Yang Shu looked at her with a smile: "You think this is the most ideal state. It will be the end of the year when "The Beginning" is finished, and this year's tasks have been successfully completed. A good start and a good end."

Liu Man felt a little emotional: "However, I don't want to spend 2017 as if I have completed a task. I want to slowly enjoy the process of these 365 days."

"Good idea," Yang Shu hugged her tightly, "I don't know if I should say something or not."

Liu Man glanced at him: "It's probably inappropriate to talk about it."

Although Yang Shu knew that Jiang Shiyu's successful routine would be difficult to transfer to Liu Man, but it's a good idea to try it out.

"I know that the process of something is more worth enjoying. I will stay here tonight and I will tell you slowly?"

"I do not want to hear."

"Or I can go to your room and talk."

"Don't even think about it."

"Don't do things against the trend of history."

Liu Man broke free and stood up, turned around and patted Yang Shu's face with a smile: "Take a good rest, raise your baby for nothing, this is the director's request."

Yang Shu watched Liu Man's graceful figure leave with a smile: "Director, I will be obedient, don't let me go."

There is a saying she said very well, don't spend 2017 as if you have completed a task, you should slowly enjoy the 365-day process.
