Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 313: Who will play “Professor Do”?

The script was brought to Chen Cheng by SBS TV station.

This is also because Chen Cheng has a unique charm in production.

"Train to Busan" once again proves Chen Cheng's vision.

The ambitious SBS TV station wanted to cooperate with Chen Cheng to see if they could go a step further and promote it internationally.

My Love from the Star is the work they are preparing to test the waters with.

Chen Cheng also likes this book very much.

In the previous life, when "My Love from the Star" was broadcast, it was not only popular in the entire Han country, but also had a profound impact in China.

Although no TV station in the country was broadcasting "My Love from the Star" at that time.

However, countless viewers still watched this work through various video software and received a huge number of clicks.

Even the higher-ups noticed this work.

It can be seen from this.

Han Guo's works are also quite advanced in terms of internationalization.

Chen Cheng invested in "Train to Busan" in Hollywood before, partly because he was optimistic about the movie.

On the other hand, Chen Cheng also believes that there are things that the domestic market can learn from Hanguo Film and Television in terms of internationalization.

For example, the subject matter.

Due to various reasons, it is impossible to shoot or broadcast it in China.

Such as "Train to Busan".

Although this film performed unprecedentedly in the cold country.

but.

Based on Chen Cheng's understanding of censorship, there is no way that "Train to Busan" can be broadcast in the country.

If there are some good creative ideas that are not allowed to be filmed in China, it is also a good idea to shoot them in a cold country.

in this way.

On the one hand, Han Guo's side was impressed by Chen Cheng's vision.

On the other hand, Chen Cheng also took a fancy to Han Guo’s unique shooting ideas.

The two parties hit it off immediately.

Chen Cheng had just arrived in Han Country, but a number of TV stations, film and television companies, and well-known producers had already contacted Chen Cheng.

finally.

Chen Cheng left behind this "My Love from the Star".

But for this drama.

However, Chen Cheng proposed the suggestion of co-production between China and Han.

There are two parts to co-production.

One is that the shooting locations include Zhonghan.

The other is actors, also from China and South Korea.

of course.

The plot also needs a slight change.

However, the overall direction is still the same as the original version.

SBS TV station readily agreed to this.

At the same time.

The screenwriter of SBS TV station made some adaptations to the script in just three days.

"What's your name?"

"Park Ji-eun."

"You are very good."

Looking at the Han country screenwriter in front of him, Chen Cheng was quite satisfied.

Screenwriter Park Ji-eun was also excited.

It’s nice to be noticed by Chen Cheng, even if he just asks his name.

perhaps.

Because of this, he will be able to surpass all domestic screenwriters in the future.

"Director Chen, this isn't a good write-up. Please give me some feedback."

The TV dramas in Han country are very different from those in China.

They like to use a weekly drama here, which means filming and broadcasting at the same time.

If you perform well.

Then this kind of weekly drama will continue to be filmed.

If the performance is not good, then it will be cut in half.

It's pretty much the same as writing a serialized novel.

Many times, after writing one or two episodes, the screenwriter will make appropriate adaptations based on the audience's reaction.

Therefore, screenwriters in Han country are more flexible when it comes to writing stories than those in China.

This is not.

Chen Cheng was very satisfied with the newly revised script.

For example, Chen Cheng wanted "My Love from the Star" to reflect many Chinese characteristics.

then.

Screenwriter Park Ji-eun set the ancient background of "My Love from the Star" in the Song Dynasty in China.

In other words.

At that time, the male protagonist Do Min Joon had just traveled to the Song Dynasty and happened to meet the female protagonist who was sent to the Song Dynasty for marriage.

Unfortunately, the marriage party was killed before they reached Kyoto.

The male protagonist happened to appear and saved the female protagonist.

then.

The hero escorted the heroine all the way from China to the cold country.

During this escort, China's vast territory and countless stories are interspersed.

Until modern times, the heroine's reincarnation became Cheon Song Yi.

1000 years have passed.

The male protagonist also stayed in the Han Kingdom for more than a thousand years.

According to the protagonist's calculations, in three months, the orbit of his planet will be close to the Earth.

This is also the only time he can go back after waiting for 1000 years.

However, the male protagonist lost one wish.

That is.

He said that he rescued a girl a few years ago, and this girl looked exactly like the girl he rescued when he first came to Earth 1000 years ago.

The male protagonist really wants to meet the girl before leaving the earth.

Ok.

Although the script has changed, it is very reasonable.

Then.

As for the role of the male lead, the candidate will naturally be someone from China.

As for the heroine, Chen Cheng suggested that it should be the one from the previous life, that is, Jun Ji-hyun.

……

However, it is not easy to choose a domestic actor suitable for the role of Professor Do.

After Chen Cheng returned to China from Han Country, he was considering which actors should be selected to audition.

just.

Chen Cheng was thinking about this.

As for the domestic media, news about the cold country's "Train to Busan" was reported.

"Brothers, I heard that Han Country has released an awesome movie recently, Train to Busan."

"I heard that the box office is almost 600 billion Hanyuan, and it is said to be over 1000 billion Hanyuan."

"1000 billion Hanyuan, damn, how much is that in RMB?"

"It's not that much. If converted into RMB, it's about 5 million."

"Around 5 million is also terrifying. After all, there are only a few people in Han Country, only 5000 million, while China has more than one billion people."

“That’s why this movie is so cool.”

"Can you tell us how it is hung? We can't see it. Can it be introduced into China?"

"I guess not. This movie is about zombies and it probably can't be shown in China."

"Alas, what a pity. There are too many restrictions in the country, and a lot of filmmakers have no place to display their talents."

Originally, this kind of news was just for everyone to read and listen to.

Some enthusiasts may go over the wall to the cold country to find pirated resources.

More or.

Some people are prepared to wait for a while to see if there is a Chinese translation version in China.

After all, many movie fans will go to see such good movies even if they are from a cold country.

It's just spreading in this country.

However, a bombshell revelation was revealed in the media: the producer of "Train to Busan" was none other than Chen Cheng.

As soon as the news came out.

Everyone was stunned.

"Chen Cheng?"

"Chen Cheng is the producer of Train to Busan?"

"My grass..."

Some people could hardly believe it.

There are also some friends who work in cold countries, and they actually went to the cinema.

really.

They found Chen Cheng's name on the list of producers of "Train to Busan".

Some might say.

Chen Cheng is Chinese. How could he write in Chinese in Han Country? He should have written in Korean.

In fact.

Han country is deeply influenced by Chinese culture.

They have a history of learning Chinese characters for thousands of years.

At that time, Chinese characters were still the official language of Han State.

It was later abolished.

But after the abolition.

The Han language used in the Han country is extremely inconvenient.

Especially in some important information, documents, and literature...if cold characters are used, it will cause semantic misunderstanding.

finally.

The names of the Han people are all written in Chinese characters.

but.

Even friends who worked in Han Country at that time would not associate it with Chen Cheng.

But look at it now.

If this isn’t “Chen Cheng” then who else could it be?

"Fuck, is this Chen Cheng the Chen Cheng from our country?"

"The director of Train to Busan confirmed that it was Chen Cheng. At that time, the director of Train to Busan went to Hollywood and found Chen Cheng, who then invested in the film. As a result, Train to Busan set a record for the Han country." "Oh my god, does this mean that Chen Cheng is lucky, or does it mean that Chen Cheng has high standards?"

"What do you think?"

at this time.

Someone in the media leaked photos of Chen Cheng's trip to the cold country.

For example, Chen Cheng took a photo with the director of "Train to Busan" and the crew.

A photo with the director of SBS TV station.

There are also photos with top stars from Han Country, especially female stars.

Seeing photos like this, many domestic netizens are extremely envious.

"Damn it, I used to admire Chen Cheng, but now I'm jealous of him."

"Of course not. Look, Jun Ji-hyun, my dream goddess, is clinging to Chen Cheng."

"I don't have any feelings for Jun Ji-hyun, but I like this one, Song Hye-kyo."

"Lin Yuna is mine, Chen Cheng, let go of your dirty hands."

Ok.

In fact, Chen Cheng is not as rogue as everyone says.

Chen Cheng just took a few photos with these Han actresses.

After all, it was Chen Cheng’s first time to come to Han Country.

In addition to the people in the Han country circle, in order to show their hospitality, they were also very enthusiastic towards Chen Cheng.

……

but.

This is just some gossip in the media.

After Chen Cheng returned to China, all the male actors in the circle were extremely excited.

"Everyone, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Chen Cheng brought back a script for a Sino-Han co-production, and the male lead will be an actor from our country."

"Oh my god, big news, who did Director Chen draft?"

"I don't know yet. But I want to say that no matter who is chosen, this actor will definitely be a big hit."

"Ah."

Once you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

And everyone knows it better.

Chen Cheng's strength is so terrifying that it can't be more terrifying.

Think about some of the dramas produced by Chen Cheng in the past.

Even though Chen Cheng was only a producer for some dramas and did not participate much in them, these dramas still became very popular.

And now.

Chen Cheng wanted to personally choose the actors.

And this is also Chen Cheng's first co-production with China.

Chen Cheng will definitely take it more seriously than any other film.

As long as Chen Cheng takes it seriously.

So……

Tsk tsk.

Do not think.

If you want to.

Just think about the 17 billion box office of "Charlotte's Troubles".

although.

They know it too.

Chen Cheng's script is not a movie script, but a TV series.

"It is said that Chen Cheng's criteria for the actors this time was just one word."

"What word?"

"handsome."

"So simple?"

"You think it's easy?"

"Isn't it simple? Who among the slightly famous ones in the circle is not handsome? In addition, even the unknown ones are extremely handsome."

"Since you know that everyone is handsome, you know how fierce the competition is. Do you think that your looks will definitely surpass others?"

"Well, I'm pretty confident about my looks, so I have to give it a try anyway."

"Well, let's see if there's any chance. Chen Cheng won't let just anyone audition."

……

Huang Xiaoming, Xie Tingfeng, Yang Yang, Nie Yuan, Zhong Hanliang, Qiao Zhenyu, Huo Jianhua, Yan Yikuan, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Lu Yi, Luo Jin, Jing Boran, Hu Ge, Chen Xiao...

After drawing up a list of names, Chen Cheng prepared to audition three days later.

but.

In order not to miss some other actors.

Chen Cheng also asked his assistant to publish an email address for external auditions. Those who are confident about their appearance can send some of their information and life photos to the email address.

The first person to audition was Huang Xiaoming.

As soon as Chen Cheng saw Huang Xiaoming, he knew there was no hope.

In fact, as early as when he was drafting the role, Chen Cheng knew that Huang Xiaoming was not suitable.

But after all, Huang Xiaoming is his senior brother, and Chen Cheng has a pretty good relationship with Huang Xiaoming.

Besides, although Huang Xiaoming is not particularly handsome, he is good-looking, so he should be given some chances.

But when he actually met Huang Xiaoming again, Chen Cheng denied it very affirmatively.

no way.

As soon as Chen Cheng saw Huang Xiaoming's smile, he couldn't help but shiver.

Huang Xiaoming's smile is okay in real life.

Looks more friendly.

But if it is used in movies or TV shows, it would be too greasy.

In addition, Huang Xiaoming is now gradually reaching the age of greasy fat.

No matter who is used, Huang Xiaoming cannot be used.

"Junior brother, as soon as I saw your expression, I knew you were eliminated."

Huang Xiaoming pretended to be a little depressed and said.

Chen Cheng said, "This role is quite special and needs to be younger. Senior brother is still a bit too old."

"Junior brother, are you saying that I'm not handsome enough?"

"Hahaha."

However, Huang Xiaoming did not care and said, "I actually know that I have no chance. Anyway, I have never been on the list of handsome celebrities. Junior brother, you can come up with my name. I am already very famous. Junior brother, let's have dinner together when you are free."

"Okay."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Huang Xiaoming also left very satisfied.

The second is Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.

In his previous life, he also starred as Yang Guo in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Speaking of Chen Xiao's appearance, that's just the beginning.

He played Lin Pingzhi in the new version of "Swordsman" promoted by Chen Cheng this year.

To know.

The character Lin Pingzhi is one of the top three handsome characters in Jin Yong's novels.

He is countless times more handsome than Linghu Chong.

It was precisely because Lin Pingzhi was so handsome that Junior Sister fell in love with someone else.

It was precisely because of Chen Xiao’s good looks that he got the role of Lin Pingzhi.

Regarding Chen Xiao’s appearance.

Chen Cheng was still quite satisfied.

just.

Chen Xiao’s acting skills are just so-so at this moment.

Although her appearance is up to standard, her temperament is a little weak.

Next is actor Xie Tingfeng.

Chen Cheng and Xie Tingfeng are quite familiar with each other and have worked together several times before.

In "The Siege of the City in October", Chen Cheng taught Xie Tingfeng a lot of acting skills.

Thanks to his role as Deng Sidi in the drama, Xie Tingfeng won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

There is no need for Chen Cheng to say much about Xie Tingfeng's appearance.

Handsome for decades.

Since his debut, he has always been called a handsome guy.

But when Xie Tingfeng came, it was obvious that he was not in good shape.

Chen Cheng also knew what was going on.

According to media gossip, Xie Tingfeng encountered major problems in his marriage this year.

In this state, he is naturally not suitable for the role of Professor Do.

……

Later, Chen Cheng auditioned for the Four Beauties of the World.

The Four Beauties of the World, namely Wallace Chung, Qiao Chenyu, Huo Jianhua, and Yan Yikuan.

In terms of appearance, there is no problem with the four of them.

It’s just that these four debuted earlier and, like Huang Xiaoming, have reached the age of greasy skin.

Although the four were okay, not too greasy.

But the age is there.

Chen Cheng finally shook his head.

Then I auditioned for several roles, but there was always something missing.

It's not that her looks are bad, but her age is a problem.

Some people have no problem with age and appearance, but lack the temperament.

There are also people like Deng Chao.

Chen Cheng discovered that this guy was somewhat developing towards the direction of a comedian, which was not very suitable.

Some of them have poor acting skills and are not in good condition.

This gave Chen Cheng a huge headache all of a sudden.

One lap down.

There are so many handsome actors in the country, but it seems that all of them have been rejected by Chen Cheng.

Later, Chen Cheng also looked at the photos sent by the actors in his mailbox.

I watched it for several days.

I looked around a lot, but still couldn't find one that satisfied me.
