my gilded age

Chapter 131 Movies and TV shows together
As one of the founders of the festival, Yuan Hong was naturally also sitting in the Capital Theater. He had seen the rehearsal of "The Piano of Steel" and had a discussion with Bai Shiqiu about some things.

He didn't watch much of the rehearsals after that, but now that the play was completely presented in front of him, Yuan Hong was also deeply shocked.

Baek Shi Qiu's acting skills are really outstanding, and basically it can be said that Baek Shi Qiu managed the entire drama by himself, which is very impressive.

At this time, I recalled the previous chat with Bai Shiqiu, and only then did I fully understand the meaning.

Maybe Dong Aiya's play is not that good, but at least it is passable. Coupled with Qianqian's wonderful performance, especially the look in her eyes when she looks at Bai Shiqiu, it is very spot on.

What a show, what a show.

Yuan Hong has already gone all out this time. He will treat the reporters to a good meal later, and he must play the "Steel Piano" well during the dinner.

Others don't know Yuan Hong's thoughts. After the performance of "Steel Piano" was over, many teachers and artists who had received complimentary tickets before, especially the teachers of Renyi, came to the backstage, and everyone praised them. The more fierce one is Teacher Chen Peisi.

"Oh! Classmate Bai Shiqiu, your performance is so good, haha... Why didn't you go to the big drama festival? There is nothing to say about this play, there is really nothing to say."

Teacher Chen pretended to be unfamiliar this time, which surprised Bai Shiqiu.

I'm telling you what I'm saying, Mr. Chen, please breastfeed harder in front of the media later.

The other teachers also laughed. Although they also shed tears before, it has passed now. After thinking about it, this play is really interesting. It makes people laugh and cry with tears. It makes people want to stop.

However, there are a few that are quite special, namely Zhang Meng, Xu Zheng, and Xiao Taohong.

"Brother Lao Bai, you did a great job."

"Hello sister, stop praising me, I'm afraid of being proud."

"Hahaha... You kid, stop teasing your sister!"

As soon as Xiao Taohong saw Bai Shiqiu, she naturally kissed her very closely, which made Xu Zheng next to him look a little confused. But it was fine, the two siblings, but this time they came because there was actually something very important.

Zhang Meng whispered to Bai Shiqiu, "Xu Zheng, he doesn't really want to play this Chen Guilin."

"Ah?" Bai Shiqiu really didn't expect this.

……

There were still people coming and going in Wangfujing at night. There were four people sitting in a cafe, and they were chatting.

"Brother Xu, what's the reason?" Bai Shiqiu didn't bother to drink coffee. He was very anxious about Xu Zheng's answer.

Why don't you act anymore?
From the very beginning when he and Zhang Meng were talking about the movie "The Piano of Steel", Bai Shiqiu had already found a leading actor in his mind.

Because I got acquainted with Xiao Taohong and recognized her as my god-sister, I naturally thought of Xu Zheng.In Bai Shiqiu's view, this choice was quite good. Xu Zheng was well-known at this time. "Zhu Bajie" and "Li Wei Becomes an Official" made Xu Zheng a powerful comedy actor.

The best part is...saving money.

With Sister Xiao Taohong's relationship, do you, Xu Zheng, have the nerve to ask for more?

Of course, it's because Xu Zheng's acting skills should be good enough to handle this role.

Unexpectedly, he refused.

"Brother Lao Bai." Xu Zheng also called Xiao Taohong, and the two of them were about to hold a wedding banquet. "The reason is very simple. I saw your play, I knew what you meant at the time, but this play , I...don't think too much about it, I just have a feeling that I'm afraid my acting skills are not enough, or that I don't have a good grasp of this role. There are many very unique things about the character Chen Guilin. In fact, you should also know that I am better at comedy, and I am the type that is relatively wilting. Northeastern dialect is bad for wilting. With the role of Chen Guilin, especially if it is shown in a movie, I am afraid that I am not capable enough.”

Look, what they say makes so much sense. What else can Bai Shiqiu do?

In fact, Bai Shiqiu certainly has a very suitable candidate in mind, and that is Wang Qianyuan. Who else could he be?
However, Bai Shiqiu didn't know Wang Qianyuan. Although he was his senior brother in the drama, he had graduated many years ago. Even after all, he was a fellow from the provincial capital. We lived in the same city, so we really didn't have much in common.

After some talking and persuasion, Xu Zheng was quite firm. He really felt that it was difficult for him to create such a character in the movie. There was a reason for this.

"The movie is short, and this character is very different from me. I have almost no reference. Only you, Brother Lao Bai, are the precedent. I am really under a lot of pressure." Xu Zheng finally shook his head.

After saying this, Bai Shiqiu became more energetic and said smoothly, "What if it's a TV series?"

TV drama?
Zhang Meng, Xu Zheng, and Xiao Taohong all looked at Bai Shiqiu with particularly surprised eyes.

"Haha... this..." Bai Shiqiu could only say briefly, "Actually, the TV series is also interesting. It started when Chen Guilin was young and slowly acted out the previous stories, such as the two chimneys. Some things, as well as Wang Gong’s things, and... Anyway, there are stories, and there are a lot of filial pranks among them, which is very in line with the style of current urban dramas."

That's what Bai Shiqiu said. It's hard to say. What I said before about filming a TV series was nonsense, right?
However, Xu Zheng heard this, "If TV dramas are really good, and I started acting when I was young, then Chen Guilin will be mine, and my face is really more suitable. But..." The following words do not say Yes, because these days, the cost of TV series is actually much higher than that of movies.

For our TV series, the cost is really not in the filming, and the actors' remuneration is not too much.The difficulty is, how to broadcast the TV series created by a few of us?Who are you selling it to?

There is no way to do this. Zhang Meng does have an old father who can go to him to find a relationship, but relying on his father is really not good-looking, and he may not be successful.

These days, TV dramas are very popular. Don't care how bad the drama is, as long as it can be broadcast on TV stations, it will have some ratings. Therefore, TV stations are all awesome.

Bai Shiqiu also knows this very well. His previous films "The Condor" and "The Sky" were both invested by big bosses and their relationships were very leveraged. However, they have not been broadcast until now. This is already very clear. Problem.

In addition, at the moment, it is obvious that Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas are very popular, especially co-production dramas, because co-production dramas are not subject to policy restrictions, and TV stations also know that audiences like Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, so when it comes to Hong Kong and Taiwan, everything is easy to handle .

However, can we find stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan for our "Steel Piano"?
The accent and stuff are easy to handle, just dubbing, but what about the pay?
The suggestion of the TV series made everyone look embarrassed, but Bai Shiqiu suddenly thought of something... But at this moment, Xiao Taohong spoke.

"Brother Lao Bai, my Xu Zheng is really... He is also quite upright. Well, for this "The Piano", I can also see that you and Director Wang both want to find a good actor. In this way, I used to I met an actor while filming, and he was really good, not to mention his acting skills, and he was very serious and very good."

who?

Who can be so praised by Sister Xiaotaohong?
"Sister, tell me, who is this, if..." Bai Shiqiu wanted to ask you to help me look for it, but he was a little embarrassed.

Of course Xiao Taohong could see it, "Silly brother, why should I be polite to your sister? Well, I don't know if you have seen "The Empty Mirror". There is an actor in this drama. His name is Wang Qianyuan. You... …”

"Ah?! Wang Qianyuan?!" Bai Shiqiu said something from his heart, how could he not know?

"Brother, do you know?"

"Ah, I've seen that play..."

"That's interesting. Wang Qianyuan is in "Empty Mirror". He only has one scene, but this scene is very fun. He plays a... half-male and half-female, and he has a special cleanliness."

"Oh, sister, I know, I know."

At this time, Bai Shiqiu was holding back laughter. Did Wang Qianyuan really play such a role in "The Empty Mirror"?

It's so weird.

But Xiao Taohong also talked a lot, "Wang Qianyuan worked very hard for just such a scene, but he prepared for a long time, he talked with me, prepared for more than half a month, carefully observe , to think about it, and in the end, I played this role perfectly."

It seems that Wang Qianyuan is indeed a good actor.

Bai Shiqiu really didn't expect that he would be connected with Wang Qianyuan like this.The reason why sister Xiao Taohong got to know Wang Qianyuan was entirely because of this scene. The two of them were facing each other, of course, there was also a man, but it left a deep impression on Xiao Taohong.

Now it's great. With Xiao Taohong's introduction, then... the salary will definitely not be high, and it will definitely save more money.

Bai Shiqiu had long been thinking of frugality, and it was the same when he approached Xu Zhengna through Xiaotaohong, but now...an idea popped into this guy's mind.

"It's over now, how wonderful!" Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was pretty good. Although he didn't help with this drama, he still helped find the leading actor, which can be regarded as meritorious. .

But at this time, Bai Shiqiu still pulled Xu Zheng and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, didn't you just say that if there was a TV series, you could come and act in it?"

"Ah?" Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, why did he feel that Brother Lao Bai's eyes were so strange.

"Lao Bai, what do you mean..." Zhang Meng suddenly realized, because the look in Lao Bai's eyes was the same as what he had seen before.

Bai Shiqiu said with a smile: "Simple, our Red Star Production Co., just making a movie is not interesting. Let's just make a movie and TV series together."

it is as expected!
Zhang Meng and Xu Zheng were both shocked, thinking that Lao Bai was too ambitious, but Sister Xiao Taohong smiled.

"Hehehe...my little brother Lao Bai is so awesome!"

Bai Shiqiu is shy. Sister, you still don’t know whether he is powerful or not, but we, Lao Bai, still have some strength.
