China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 125 Asking for a role

When eating together at noon, He Huacai mentioned the character again:

".My name is Yi Qunxian. She is a wealthy daughter. At first, in order to oppose arranged marriages and pursue freedom, I joined an experimental work-study mutual aid club."

"During the movement, she fell in love with a comrade around her and confessed to him, but the other party didn't accept her, so she went to France to study."

"It's probably such a role. Let's see if you are interested."

"Of course I'm interested, but" Zhang Jianing looked at He Hua with puzzled eyes:

"Didn't you let us hone our acting skills in college before, why are you letting us act now?"

"Cough cough. Cough cough"

He Hua's eyes drifted a little: "I... I think three years should be about the same."

"Besides, this time the show will definitely have to hire a lot of talented actors, and you can also ask them for advice in the crew."

Zhang Jianing frowned and wanted to say more, but Chen Xiao interrupted directly:

"Brother, is there a role suitable for me? I also want to cooperate with the seniors."

He Hua thought for a while but didn't give an accurate answer:
"The script is still being adjusted, and the director has not yet been finalized. After it is finalized, I will ask the company to send you the script. Then you can take a closer look and see if there are any characters you like."

In fact, He Hua wanted Chen Xiao to play the role of Zhang Fengzai, the villain in the play.
He felt that Chen Xiao could perfectly blend the arrogance and arrogance unique to the young master of the Republic of China in this character with the bookish spirit of a foreign student who has received higher education.

Moreover, the rebelliousness, provocation, playfulness and even bad deeds shown by him will not make the audience particularly disgusted.

But He Hua didn't know if he himself would mind playing this kind of role, after finishing the script, he asked Li Ying to ask before making a decision.

Seeing Chen Xiao nodding his head, He Hua stopped talking and turned to ask Gao Jian:

"Any ideas for the next script?"

Gao Jian shook his head, swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking:
"Isn't next year just 09? It's the 60th anniversary, so many TV stations are launching anti-war dramas. Recently, a director came over and asked us to write a book about the anti-Japanese war."

"We are still hesitating, not knowing whether we should take it or not."

Hearing them talking about the new script, other people's attention was also attracted.

Liu Zhonglun directly asked He Hua for a suggestion, whether he should accept it, after all, he is the boss of the screenwriting studio.

"I think it's okay to take it. Make money first, right? I know everyone wants to write something they are interested in, but you must first consider the issue of food and accommodation. You can't ask your family for money anymore."

He Hua's gaze stayed on Zhao Xiaoxi for a while, and Gao Jian nodded slowly upon seeing this.

"Secondly, writing skills need to be practiced to improve. Only by writing more can we improve. The script is the same."

Guo Changlin also agrees when he heard this.

"Besides, the theme of the Anti-Japanese War can also be outstanding. Look how well "Bright Sword" was shot."

"Also, didn't I get to know Senior Brother Lan Xiaolong recently? I read his new script, "My Leader, My Regiment", which is about the ZG Expeditionary Army."

"That's written, it's really good."

He Hua couldn't describe it in words, so he swears directly.

"Everyone can watch this drama next year. I can say that this is the pinnacle of a domestic war drama."

Liu Zhonglun didn't believe it: "Is it that exaggerated? There are still differences between scripts and TV dramas."

He Hua nodded seriously: Of course he only dared to say that after watching a TV series.

"Then we'll really have to see it then."

"Okay, then let's take it, and we will also write a classic."

Ever since He Hua presented his new script at the graduation ceremony and invited Chinese opera students to participate, He Hua's mobile phone has been in a vibrating state for a long time.

One call after another came to his mobile phone. I really don't know where these people got his mobile phone number.

Some of these calls are intended to participate in investment cooperation, such as Huayi, BJ Television Art Center, Hairun Film and Television, Zjiang Sanhe Film and Television, Galloping Horse and other large and small companies.

For strangers, He Hua basically chatted briefly, saying that he was not in charge of this business, and asked them to talk to Huang Lan.

Some acquaintances, such as Zheng Xiaolong from TV Art Center who just met at the Magnolia Awards, Zhang Guoli from National Changsheng Film and Television Company, and Hou Hongliang, deputy director of Shanying Production Center, who had dealt with several times before.

He Hua made an appointment with them, and invited them to dinner after the script passed the review, and then discussed cooperation matters.

The investment in this drama is destined not to be low, and whether it makes money or not is another matter. For Youhua Entertainment, the biggest benefit this drama may bring is to increase the company's influence.

Therefore, choosing a partner and investing funds are secondary. What is important is to broaden Youhua's channels and improve the company's production capabilities.

At present, only Zhang Kaizhou, who was dug from Shanying, and Xue Xiaolu, who was recommended by Zhang Jing, have signed a cooperation agreement with Youhua Entertainment, but these two are still newbies and need more training.

In addition to the company you want to invest in on the phone, the rest is to ask for a role.

He Hua understands actors looking for opportunities for themselves, but for some people, He Hua finds it very interesting after receiving the call.

For example, the one on the phone now is Huang Lei, the performance teacher of Nortel.

It stands to reason that he became famous early on. He has been teaching at Nortel for so many years, and his connections have long been familiar. Isn't it just a matter of showing off what role he wants to play?

Why do you have to post it to He Hua, not to mention that He Hua has refuted his face before.

People said: ".I love playing the role of a literati in the Republic of China, holding an oil-paper umbrella and wandering alone in the long, long and lonely rainy alley. I like the beautiful artistic conception so much."

"But there are so few such good scripts and good characters. When I heard that you wrote this story, I was immediately excited."

"Really, He Hua, please let me have a look at the script."

Everyone has reached this point, and He Hua can only agree: "Okay, I will contact you after the script is finalized."

"Okay, thank you, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, He Hua shook his head helplessly.

He Hua turned on his computer and searched the Internet for photos of Huang Lei acting as a literati in the Republic of China.

Not to mention, the Xu Zhimo he played in "April Day on Earth" really has that meaning.

He Hua thought for a while, took out a pen and notebook, and added Huang Lei's name after Hu Shizhi.

However, we should also look at his body shape during the interview. If he is too fat, let him continue to be his family's "cook husband".

Besides Huang Lei, Jiang Wei also called.

But he didn't want to direct, but wanted He Hua to leave a role for Zu Feng.

Although Zu Feng became popular after "Latent" and ushered in the peak of his career, many of the scripts he received were characters of the same type as Li Ya.

He got tired of acting, and he wasn't that good at dealing with people and talking eloquently, so he gradually became quiet again.

When Jiang Wei heard about He Hua's new play, he wanted to see if there was a suitable role for him.

"Okay, I'll write it down, I'll contact him later, don't worry about it."
