On February 2, Tianxuan Group officially announced the news of the filming of "Folding Paper".
The Propaganda Department created an official Weibo account for the "Folding Paper Crew", and announced the audition times and locations for several important roles, as well as recruitment advertisements for other cast members.
Cheng Xia opened his mobile phone and swiped Weibo early in the morning, and saw this announcement from the "Folding Paper Crew" swipe across the homepage. The one with the most likes was the forwarding of the author Lemongrass.
Lemongrass is a new author who has emerged in recent years. He is not particularly famous, but because of the fresh and warm style of the books he writes, he is very good at character psychology and has a group of regular fans. Obviously, Tianxuan's propaganda department contacted the original author, and the author agreed to cooperate with the propaganda, so he forwarded the news that "Folding Paper" was going to be officially filmed.
Below this message, there are already thousands of comments.
- all scolding.
"My God, my house is collapsing!"
"No one can play the Qin Nian in my mind well, please don't ruin my Qin Nian!"
"Produced by Tianxuan? Damn, their family's filming is full of dog blood and thunder dramas. It's enough to cry and abuse the heart and body."
"How to shoot such a small and fresh drama like Folding Paper? It's disgusting to add a bunch of inexplicable third parties."
"The propaganda says that newcomers are selected. Can newcomers play such complex roles well? I don't believe them anyway."
"Is the author crazy about money? Does this show have to sell the copyright?"
Some book fans are just too fierce.
Cheng Xia can understand the feelings of book fans. When he read the original book, he also liked the characters in the book very much. There are a thousand Hamlets in one thousand people, and everyone imagines different protagonists. Therefore, it is difficult for everyone to accept It is also a hurdle that the adaptation of the novel must face.
Cheng Xia doesn't think he fits the image of the protagonist "Qin Nian" in the novel, but he is confident to play the role well. During this period, he was reading the book every day, at least five times. He put himself into Qin Nian for every scene and dialogue in the book, and thought carefully about how to express his emotions and what to use if he was Qin Nian. tone and expression
Even in the dream, he became Qin Nian and experienced Qin Nian's life.
He likes the character so much that he wants to give it a try no matter how fierce the readers are.
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and opened his Weibo.
To his surprise, his Weibo followers increased by hundreds from yesterday's one. I thought it was a zombie fan that Sister Yan bought for him, but a lot of private messages appeared in the upper right corner. When I clicked it, all of them were fans of Chen Yijun.
"I came over from Sister Jun, is it Tianxuan's newly signed little brother? He looks very handsome!" "Sister Jun fans came to check in, Sister Jun followed you, you should have a good relationship with her, right? Come on "Little handsome guy, I like your face, I searched and it seems that you haven't acted in any drama yet, look at you!"
Cheng Xia: "..."
How terrible the star effect is, he can feel it today.
Chen Yijun just followed him casually, and those fanatical fans followed the vine and found his Weibo.
Chen Yijun's willingness to pay attention to Cheng Xia shows that the two have a good relationship. Therefore, Chen Yijun's fans have a very polite and gentle attitude towards Cheng Xia. Most of them say that Cheng Xia is good-looking, and then say a few words of encouragement.
Cheng Xia politely replied a few private messages, opened the homepage, and found that President Pei also forwarded the promotion of "Folding Paper".
Remembering what the agent said not to swipe and like, so he silently closed the big Weibo, and then used the trumpet of "Summer Orange" to follow President Pei and "Folding Paper Online Drama Official Weibo" - trumpet like Shouldn't someone find out
In the next few days, Cheng Xia slept very restlessly. He often dreamed of Qin Nian, the protagonist in the book.
Qin Nian grew up in a poor family. When he was ten years old, his parents died in a car accident. Every day after school, he would go to work to earn money to support himself. Children who grew up in such a poor family did not have the shabbyness and inferiority of the poor at all. Wearing old clothes washed to white, he is also calm and optimistic, always with a bright smile on his face.
He has a sister named Qin Yue who is not in good health. He not only has to work to earn money, take care of his sister, but also take time to study. Under such difficult conditions, his grades are still among the best in the class, and he is often praised by teachers. , it shows how hard he works.
Because of his handsome appearance and excellent grades, Qin Nian is very popular with his classmates in school. He has an Alpha character, and because of his late differentiation, he has never shown any Omega characteristics. Everyone (including himself) thinks he is an Alpha. In the first and second years of high school, there were many Omegas who came to him to confess, but they were all rejected by him because he had no time to fall in love.
No one thought that in the third year of high school, 18-year-old Qin Nian would differentiate into an Omega.
Another protagonist in the book, Lu Fengyang, is a rich second-generation illiterate, but this rich second-generation does not often trouble the protagonist like A in ordinary campus literature. Because he fought with a few gangsters on the first day of school, he was arrested. The protagonist who passed by helped him, and he was commensurate with the protagonist's good brother, covering the protagonist everywhere.
Lu Fengyang's studies are too poor, and he often asks the protagonist to copy homework. The mode of getting along between the two is not so sadistic and romantic, but relaxed and funny.
Qin Nian liked Lu Fengyang very much before the split. After splitting up, this feeling was even stronger, but Lu Fengyang, a fool, still leaned on his shoulder every day and said a good buddy, Qin Nian had to hide this kind of love secretly. heart.
His family background did not allow him to come together with Lu Fengyang.
On the surface, Qin Nian has an optimistic personality and always has a smile on his face, but in fact, the hardships and hardships in his life and the unspeakable love in his emotions are all hidden under the smile of sunshine. Even when Lu Fengyang told him about the beautiful Omega in the next class, he would smile and say, "It's very beautiful, and it suits you very well."
It was only when he turned around that there was a trace of loss and sadness in his eyes.
This kind of protagonist is very distressing.
Of course, the final ending of "Folding Paper" is good. Lu Fengyang was just dull and not scumbag. Later, he discovered Qin Nian's secret, fell in love with Qin Nian, and was even influenced by Qin Nian's efforts, so he decided to work hard and study hard. .
At the end of the novel, the two were admitted to the same university, and Qin Nian gave Lu Fengyang the paper folded by himself. Origami was his favorite game since he was a child. Whenever he was upset or sad, Qin Nian would take out a piece of paper and fold it to play.
Lu Fengyang took the paper apart, and inside it was written a wish in correct handwriting.
—I want to go to the same university as Lu Fengyang, and will be together forever.
The young man smiled brightly in the sun.
Looking at him so dazzling, Lu Fengyang finally couldn't help and hugged him tightly into his arms.
Many novels with Alpha and Omega as the protagonists are either you pull me into the woods to take a bite, or I press you against the wall to kiss... Among the many campus novels that use "marking" as a gimmick, Lemongrass's "Folding Paper" "With Qin Nian's experience as the main line, it is very clear from beginning to end, and it pays great attention to the description of the emotions and growth of the two protagonists.
The two did not have too intense intimacy scenes, but when they were together at the end, they could make readers smile knowingly. The overall style of the original work is relaxed and warm, and there are some more abusive plots in the middle. It is not the kind of heart-piercing sadomasochism, but a touch of bitterness that makes people feel sore noses and moist eyes.
The role of Qin Nian is very difficult to grasp. The outward sunshine is optimistic, and the inner struggle is uneasy. Too much sunshine will make you appear heartless, and if you struggle too much, you will appear indecisive. How to express emotions with eyes and movements, Cheng Xia has been pondering for a long time recently.
He dreamed of Qin Nian for several days in a row, and he felt that he seemed to be involved in the drama.
In this state, February 7th came quietly.
Cheng Xia got up at seven in the morning to wash up, hurriedly ate breakfast, changed into a clean sweater, put on a white shirt, and put on a school uniform given to him by his sponsor when he filmed the MV before, put on a down jacket and came here Tianxuan waited.
The entrance of Tianxuan was full of people, and a huge poster was posted in a prominent position, "Actors who participated in the audition for "Folding Paper", please take the No. 3 elevator to the 17th floor."
Although this audition is not a national audition, but the title of "Tianxuan Production" is released, and many artists and small brokerage companies still buy it. After all, Tianxuan is a big tree in the entertainment industry, and he can catch this ride. Could it be on fire
There were actually long queues of people participating in the audition.
Cheng Xia was startled, and hurriedly went in through the side door to find an agent.
Zhou Yan waited for them on the first floor, and when Zhou Jiawen, Xue Ling, Qi Xiaotian and Cheng Xia all arrived, she took the four to the corner and whispered: "You guys, draw lots after you go up later. Go in as soon as you get the number. I heard the news from Assistant Zhang that all the main creators of the crew were present today, and even the author came over in person."
When the four newcomers heard this, their eyes widened slightly, and their hearts were a little nervous.
Zhou Yan said quickly: "The original author does not participate in the adaptation of the script, but will give the director some opinions. In the end, it is up to the director to decide who will play which role. The director of this drama is Liu Xueyi, you may not have heard of him. He's not particularly famous, but he has very high requirements for actors. Don't think about things like going through the back door. If you want to impress him, unless you pass the test."
She glanced at the four people in front of her and said simply: "Let's go. Don't be too nervous, just play normally."
Cheng Xia clenched his fist beside him and followed the manager upstairs obediently.
The 17th floor of Tianxuan has been vacated, and an audition venue has been specially arranged. There are two rows of chairs in the outside corridor for people to wait, and there are several empty offices next to it for people to rest.
There was a sign-in desk and a lottery box at the back door of the audition site. Cheng Xia followed the agent over there.
The girls at the lottery were the assistants of Group C. When they saw them, they smiled and said, "This box will be drawn for the audition of Lu Fengyang, Qin Yue, and Zhao Luo, and this is the one for the audition of Qin Nian, Zhang Xiaoheng, and Xu Fei."
These six characters are also the protagonists and important supporting roles throughout "Folding Paper".
The Zhou Jiawen that Sister Yan brought is Alpha, and he chose the role of "Lu Fengyang" in the novel, and he drew No. 10. Xue Ling chose the role of the protagonist's sister "Qin Yue" and took the number 26. Qi Xiaotian and Cheng Xia both chose "Qin Nian", the former got No. 67, Cheng Xia got No. 98, especially the latter.
When the girl saw their numbers, she reminded: "It's 1-50 in the morning, and after the 50th in the afternoon, why don't you two go back first and come back in the afternoon?"
Zhou Yan also said: "Cheng Xia, Qi Xiaotian, do you want to go back first?"
Cheng Xia shook his head with a smile: "No, I'll wait here and memorize the script by the way."
Qi Xiaotian wanted to go back, but when he heard this, he said, "Then I'll also wait for the result here."
