Liu Heping certainly hopes that the scripts he writes will be performed by those movie star-level actors.
If it were replaced by stars who are famous without acting skills, he would feel that his script was insulted.
But reality is always cruel. Most of the time, what you get is not what you want most.
Capital will force you, the market will force you, and even the actor you like may not be willing to act.
Liu Heping is not worried about the quality of the script, he is worried that the script will not meet a group of good actors.
Yue Guan gave him a reassurance.
"The cast given by Director Kong and Director Li is so strong that it is a mid-level version. Teacher Liu, I want to make this drama a top-level version. I won’t talk about the secondary supporting characters. This is a movie." For the ensemble scenes and the roles that have a lot of roles, what I mean is to try to find old artists with impeccable acting skills and high national popularity, do you think it’s okay?”
Liu Heping was speechless: "Nonsense, of course it's good, but the cast given by Director Kong and Director Li is indeed very good."
"It's not good enough. Take the emperor as an actor. Our play tells the story of seizing the heir. The emperor's role is the top priority. The candidate recommended by the two directors turned out to be teacher Ding Yongdai."
That is the original Liang Emperor in "Nirvana in Fire".
Let me tell you, the acting skills are quite good. In the scene near the finale of "Nirvana in Fire", Emperor Liang burst into tears, withered hair flying around, the falling crown, staggering steps, the constant "rebellious ministers and traitors" and that kneeling: "I hugged you back then, took you riding a horse, and flew a kite with you."
That scene was superbly acted, absolutely textbook level.
Liu Heping also had the same opinion about Ding Yongdai: "Ding Yongdai's acting skills are still very good, and he should be able to act like an emperor."
"Chen Daoming or Ding Yongdai, which one do you choose?" Yue Guan asked.
Liu Heping rebelled in a second: "Of course Chen Daoming."
He's not stupid.
In terms of acting skills, Chen Daoming is not inferior to Ding Yongdai, and there is a high probability that he may even be better.
In terms of popularity, it is even better.
Of course he chose Chen Daoming.
Ding Yong has many good loans, but his reputation is too low.
By choosing Chen Daoming as the emperor, the audience will subconsciously feel that this drama is definitely a drama of conscience.
However, Liu Heping was a little worried: "Chen Dao's salary is very expensive. In the past few years, no one has hired him on the market. Isn't the price-performance ratio a bit low?"
"I will take care of the salary and investment issues. Teacher Liu, you can write the script with peace of mind. Director Kong and Director Li can film with peace of mind. I will take care of the actors. I have a good relationship with Teacher Chen Daoming. Plus, Teacher Liu, you With his reputation, there is no problem in convincing him to reduce the salary. Besides, even if he doesn’t reduce the salary, the crew can afford it.”
If you have money, you are so willful.
As a screenwriter, Liu Heping also experienced the pleasure of being rich.
He's a little swollen.
"'Game of Thrones' is an ensemble drama, and there are several roles that are similar to the emperor. If Chen Daoming is chosen as the emperor, then the other important roles cannot be cast by people with poor acting skills and reputation, right?" Liu Heping looked at Yue Guan expectantly.
He had a hunch that maybe this drama would be the pinnacle of his life.
At least in terms of the choice of actors, it will be the pinnacle of his life.
His hunch was right.
Yue Guan didn't deceive him in the first place.
"Prime Minister, I prefer Teacher Tang Guoqiang."
Liu Heping's hands trembled.
"real?"
"Really, we have been in contact, are in talks, and are close to signing a contract."
The Prime Minister is a completely original character.
In the imaginary historical drama of political intrigue and the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, the game between imperial power and prime ministerial power is naturally indispensable.
In the script, the prime minister is worth more than ten thousand people. He has many roles and is as good as the emperor, so he also needs a big boss to hold the line.
Out of bad taste, Yue Guan gave the prime minister's surname Zhuge.
Yes, he was going for Teacher Tang Guoqiang from the beginning.
Liu Heping was excited.
Emperor Chen Daoming and Prime Minister Tang Guoqiang, these two roles play very important roles in the script, but who would doubt that they are not good at acting
"Yue Guan, you are right. Kong Shi and Li Chong can just relax and film. They are too petty. I still leave it to you to choose the actors. You choose them yourself and don't let them interfere." Liu Heping waved his hand: "Director Just direct the play well and don't worry too much. If they are not satisfied, you can ask them to come to me."
He could see that Yue Guan was a real boss.
They are all poor and don't know how to order food when they come to a high-end hotel.
Look at Yue Guan's courage.
He believes that the other main characters, Yue Guan, will definitely find a top supporting cast.
Kong Shen and Li Chong? They have terrible vision.
Liu Heping despised them.
In fact, Liu Heping also thought too much.
After Kong Shu and Li Chong learned about the lineup Yue Guan was looking for, they were even more excited than him.
After all, everyone wants to drive a luxury sports car more than an ordinary car.
If given the chance, they would certainly be happy to do so.
Seeing Liu Heping being so excited, Yue Guan struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Teacher Liu, I have almost chosen the actors. Do you have to hurry up with your script?"
"It has to be fast, a week, no, I will try to get it all done within three days." Liu Heping decided to push himself.
"You first announce the starring cast and let the news out. When the actors for the secondary roles are selected for auditions, I will definitely give you the complete script."
The main roles are all pre-determined.
Only minor roles need to be selected externally.
Liu Heping was also at the end of his rope.
If he couldn't come up with a script when choosing actors, it would really be unreasonable.
Seeing that Liu Heping was so easily dealt with, Yue Caring said that if he had known, I would have used this method a long time ago.
In fact, he hasn't settled Chen Daoming and Tang Guoqiang yet...
These two people are really hard to beat.
But being able to use them to defeat Liu Heping was an unexpected surprise.
Yue Guan thought for a while.
Can we also use this method to deal with Chen Daoming and Tang Guoqiang
It seems like you can really give it a try.
Three hours later.
Chen Dao famous master.
Yue Guan sat on the sofa and said seriously to Chen Daoming: "Teacher Chen, do you have any doubts about Teacher Liu Heping's script?"
Chen Daoming said: "I have played too many emperors, and I don't want to play the emperor anymore for the time being. Without challenges and breakthroughs, the audience will get bored."
"No, the emperor in Game of Thrones is different from all the emperors you have played before. You can definitely create an emperor who is very different from the previous characters."
After a pause, seeing that Chen Daoming was still thinking, Yue Guan released his big move: "Teacher Chen, do you know who the actor who has played the most roles opposite you as Prime Minister Zhuge is?"
"who?"
"Tang Guoqiang."
Chen Daoming was moved: "Old Tang took over this drama? He plays the prime minister?"
Then this drama will definitely be good.
This kind of old artist is a guarantee of quality in itself.
Seeing Yue Guan looking at him expectantly, Chen Daoming no longer hesitated: "Okay, I'll take it."
Yue Guan smiled.
It turns out it’s so easy to fool people.
