Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 253 Metaphysics
Huang Ze is not humble.

Director Wang Fuling, who looks kind and is about 60 years old, is indeed very famous in the domestic film and television industry.

In 80, he directed the first domestic TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp".

Later, he spent several more years polishing "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Now he has taken over "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Two of the four great classics were filmed.

"Compared to you, a half-fellow villager, I'm not as famous as you!" Wang Fuling and Huang Ze shook hands and said with a smile, "I've heard of you for a long time, and today I finally met you in person."

"Half a fellow villager?" Huang Ze was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know this.

"I was born in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, but I fled to Shanghai with my family when I was six years old. I lived in Shanghai most of the time afterwards. I also attended Shanghai Municipal Drama School in college. Oh, it's now called Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Then we are indeed half fellow villagers." Huang Ze laughed.

After letting go of her hand, Director Wang Fuling set her eyes on Tao Huimin, "Hey, who is that..."

Wang Fuling recognized Tao Huimin.

When the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was first filmed, the TV version was actually not that taken seriously by the higher-ups.

Especially after the preparations for the film version of A Dream of Red Mansions directed by the famous director Xie Tieli began, she was directly raised by a stepmother.

The actress who played Lin Daiyu in the movie "Dream of Red Mansions" was none other than Tao Huimin.

However, although I know her, Wang Fuling is old and very busy every day. I only have an impression of her face, but I'm not sure what her name is.

But it wouldn't be a good idea to just call that person, so I blurted out, "Daiyu, are you here with Director Huang?"

"Well, I'm filming with Director Huang..."

Realizing that Tao Huimin didn't know how to explain, Huang Ze took over the conversation, "I think she's OK. We haven't started casting for Romance of the Three Kingdoms yet. Let's see if she can play Xiao Qiao and bring her over to Director Wang to have a look."

“……” Wang Fuling didn’t know how to respond. It was true that he was the chief director, but these were not things that he could decide alone.

"I think it's okay." Director Wang Feng made the final decision, "She is famous and a native Jiangnan beauty. It should be no problem for her to play Xiao Qiao."

He said this.

The other five directors looked at the two casting directors, and when they saw the male director nodded, they also nodded in agreement.

After all, she's just a little Qiao, it's enough if she's pretty enough.

The female characters in the play, except Diao Chan, don't have many roles. It's fine as long as they don't have the kind of seductive and gorgeous looks. And they also know Tao Huimin's costume look.

There is absolutely no need to veto.

"Thank you Director Huang for recommending us actors." Wang Fuling laughed. "Director Huang, you must tell us everything you know. If you have any good suggestions, please tell us. Let's make the best film of Romance of the Three Kingdoms together."

"Of course."

"You go back to the car first." Huang Ze sent Tao Huimin away and joined the preparatory group for Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Speaking of which, Director Huang, your actor recommendation is really timely. We are planning to start the actor selection process in mid-August. If you think there are other suitable roles, please recommend them. Li Fazeng and Gu Fengli, who are in charge of the actor selection, will give priority to reviewing the actors you recommend!"

As she spoke, Wang Fuling pointed to a man and a woman not far away.

The man is about 50 years old. He played Jia Yucun in Tao Huimin's version of "Dream of Red Mansions". This is also the reason why he just told Director Wang that Tao Huimin could play Xiao Qiao.

In fact, after seeing him, Huang Ze was also stunned for a moment.

Coincidentally, isn't it.

The father of Yu Jiaolong in the original version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was played by Li Fatseng.
The world is really small.

Huang Ze smiled slightly and nodded at the other party and Gu Fengli.

Then he said directly, "Since Director Wang said so, I won't hide anything!"

"Of course, please recommend a few more. We have no idea here either, and we are planning to search all the professional actors in the country. It would be great if you could recommend a few more."

"Ah."

Then I'm welcome.

Get out of the way, I'm trying to show off because I'm blocked.

If Director Huang had not been born, the world would have been in darkness forever.

Come on!

Oh no, bring me a pen!
Huang Ze really didn't know what modesty was now. He wrote as he said, "Among the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, I recommend Sun Yanjun from Qingyi for Liu Bei. He played in "Enemy on the Edge" before."

"Guan Yu, Guanshan Provincial Drama Troupe, Lu Shuming, this is what Zhang Yimou told me. In "Ancient and Modern Wars: The Terracotta Warriors", she played the role of Qin Shi Huang. She was 1.86 meters tall and had a strong build."

"Zhang Fei, Li Jingfei from the Jibei Provincial Drama Theater."

After talking about these three people, Huang Ze suddenly remembered something.

It is true that life is like a play, and life is like a play!
In my previous life, before I traveled through time, the actor who played Guan Erge died first. Within a month, the actor who played Zhang Fei followed suit, leaving only the actor who played Liu Bei alive.

The order and timing are exactly the same as in the TV series.

When Huang Ze was expressing his feelings, director Wang Fuling immediately recalled the three actors, "I only know Sun Yanjun, and he seems to be somewhat suitable, but we still have to try out the makeup to see how it works in the end."

"Li Jingfei should be the actor who played Lao Yu in 'The Raid', right?" A director muttered, and then his eyes lit up, "Oh, not bad, that actor has a leopard head and round eyes, and he is also quite strong. If he stares at the actors, it should be effective. Director Huang, this is a good suggestion. I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned it. Keep recommending it."

“I’ll recommend as many as I can.”

"Then let's go with Cao Cao, Professor Bao Guoan from the Central Academy of Drama." "Song Jiang in the 82 Water Margin?"

"Yes." Huang Ze nodded and continued, "Sun Quan is different from Liu Bei and Cao Cao. He was only 20 years old when he became the head of the Eastern Wu family. He had to be younger and in line with the original work. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that he was born with green beard and green eyes, bright eyes, a square chin and a big mouth, and his appearance was extraordinary and different from ordinary people."

"Fang Yi means his cheeks are relatively square. According to the original book, he has the appearance of a Hu person, which means he has a high nose bridge and a square face."

"As for the green beard and blue eyes, unless we want to find a foreigner to play them, they will probably have to use makeup."

Huang Ze smiled and looked at Wang Fuling, "Director Wang, when you were filming Dream of Red Mansions, the one who played Jia Yun was called, called Xu, Xu Zhafei?"

"Wu Xiaodong."

"Oh, yes, he's the one I want to recommend." Huang Ze suddenly realized, "He's the one."

"Liu Guan Zhang, Cao Sun."

"Zhou Yu, there's a guy called Hong Yuzhou from the Gansu Province Drama Troupe. I think he can give it a try."

"There is another character who has a bigger role, Sima Yi. I think we can try Wei Zongwan from Shanghai."

Huang Ze didn’t say where he worked.

If I remember correctly, he had already become a national first-class actor last year.

"He doesn't usually do comedies?" one person asked.

"But considering his looks and age, I think he is suitable for playing the shrewd and cunning Sima Yi, who is also the villain in the Three Kingdoms."

"In addition, I recommend Cheng Hong to play Diao Chan, the Thirteenth Aunt in "Huang Feihong"."

“That’s all.” There are only those main actors, and the other actors are not that important. Huang Ze doesn’t want to get involved. There is no need to decide who will play each of the soldiers, and Wang Fuling won’t care about this either.

"Okay, since Director Huang personally recommended them, we will definitely give these actors a chance to audition."

"Yeah." Huang Ze didn't show any emotional fluctuations. Auditioning was normal, after all, it was such a large crew.

Besides, as long as you audition, these actors will be guaranteed to be there.

Why are you so anxious?
"By the way, Director Huang, have you forgotten a very important role?" Wang Fuling looked at Huang Ze with a smile, "You have recommended so many people, why not recommend another one?"

"Does Zhuge Liang still need to be recommended?"

Huang Ze actually kept this role on purpose. When he heard the other party asking, he pointed to the casting director Li Fazeng.

He starred in the 85 TV series "Zhuge Liang" and performed very well. He also won the Feitian Award for Best Actor for that role.

The other party is still here, and no matter how humble Huang Ze is, it is not good for him to recommend others before the other party refuses.

"Well, I can't do that!" Li Fazeng saw Huang Ze pointing at him, and quickly smiled and shook his head, "I'm not suitable."

"Zhuge Liang must have been 26 or 27 years old when he visited Zhuge Liang three times."

"Even if we consider casting an older Zhuge Liang, we should choose an actor who is in his thirties to look younger. We were all in our fifties when we filmed, and Zhuge Liang only lived to be fifty-three."

"Do you think I'm suitable for the role?"

"I have to be responsible for our play!"

"I did play Zhuge Liang before, but that TV series was filmed in 84. When we filmed this series, it had been seven years."

"All in all, I don't think I'm suitable."

"Director Huang, do you have any suitable options?"

"Director Li, are you really not going to act?"

"The age is really not right." Li Fazeng shook his head firmly. "If you let me guide the actors after you find them, then that's fine."

"Then I have another choice in mind."

"Who?" Most people looked over curiously.

There is no way. When talking about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three sworn brothers in Peach Garden, are charming. Cao Cao, who made the year-end work report that "bones are exposed in the wild, and no roosters crow for a thousand miles", is also charming.

However, Zhuge Liang, who "made a name for himself when he set out on his campaign, and who can be compared to him in the next thousand years," and "devoted his life to the cause until his death," is absolutely charming, not inferior to anyone else. He even has a special meaning in people's hearts throughout the entire Chinese history.

It is the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people that has gone through more than two thousand years of history.

"Who?"

Who else could it be?

If you want to know the best excavator school, go to Guoqiang in Qilu, China.

"Tang Guoqiang."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

"How can we use him?"

"I object."

"No, no, no, let him play Zhuge Wuhou, absolutely not. No matter who else, he can't be used."

Except for Director Wang Fuling and a few others who didn't say anything, everyone else suddenly burst into laughter and started talking.

There is only one core point: use no one else but Guoqiang.
