Yue Guan really wants to tell Li Xin that the role given to you is still not a role that attracts fans.
But seeing Li Xin so excited, Yue Guan couldn't bear it.
Let’s let the young lady get excited for a while first.
What made Li Xin excited was a little different from what Yue Guan thought.
"Yue Guan, are you the leading actor?"
"Um."
"Shall I play your lover?"
"Um."
"Am I going to enter your majesty's harem?" Li Xin came back from her excitement and said in a very hesitant tone: "Yue Guan, although I have a good impression of you, you are too good at being a woman and are not in line with my choice of mate. standard."
Yue Guan: "..."
These days, a woman actually says that I don’t meet her standards for choosing a mate.
Not scientific.
"I really should let you do the last issue of "The Reality of the World", so that after you said that sentence just now, the lie detector will start calling." Yue Guandao.
Li Xin: “…”
"Okay, don't think so far. Although you played my lover, we didn't get together in the play. You didn't have many scenes."
Hearing what Yue Guan said, Li Xin was seven-fold disappointed and three-part relaxed.
I am disappointed because her treatment is obviously not what His Majesty's palace deserves. Anyone who can enter His Majesty's palace will obviously have outstanding roles and scenes.
She was relaxed because she didn't have to fulfill corresponding obligations without corresponding treatment. In this way, she didn't have to worry about stepping into the sea of Yueguan.
"A supporting actress?" Li Xin's voice was a little complicated.
Yue Guan nodded: "It is indeed a supporting role, and the role is actually not too outstanding. If you don't want to, I will find someone else."
"No, I am willing, but only a fool would not." Li Xin agreed immediately.
If you don’t shine, you won’t shine.
For a scene where Yue Guan and Chen Kaige team up, getting a supporting role is also a victory.
Li Xin's IQ is normal.
However, she thought of Chen Kaige and asked Yue Guan again: "Yue Guan, if you decide on me, Director Chen won't have any objections, right?"
"No, you are more important than him." Yue Guan said casually.
The actual reason is that Chen Kaige was ready to delegate power.
For a TV series, the most important thing for Chen Kaige is to figure out the script well and shoot the scenes well.
He didn't have much opinion on who to choose as an actor. After all, Yue Guan was the screenwriter, and Yue Guan had always had a good eye for selecting actors before.
In addition, "Long Night" was originally a short drama and ended in 12 episodes. There was no need to conduct large-scale auditions, so Chen Kaige directly delegated all power to Yue Guan, who was responsible for all the actors.
Naturally, Li Xin didn't know the real reason. When Yue Guan said that she was more important than Chen Kaige, Li Xin's heart felt as sweet as honey.
Neptune's basic qualities: love words come out of his mouth.
This is a skill that honest people don’t have.
So honest people can only take Neptune's plate.
Women don't like honest people, they like handsome guys who can talk about love. The younger brother is good-looking and speaks nicely, so how can he not be liked by others.
Li Xin felt that Yue Guan was particularly attractive.
Unfortunately, too many women like him.
Yue Guan directly gave the script of "The Long Night" to Li Xin.
"Time is a bit tight. Director Chen's crew is almost officially operational. You have to thoroughly understand the script as soon as possible and memorize all the lines of your character. It will be no problem."
Li Xin looked at the thickness of the script and the number of his own lines, and then said with certainty: "No problem, but why is the script so thin?"
"This is a short drama, only 12 episodes."
"Twelve episodes of TV series?" Li Xin's eyes widened: "Can you get your money back?"
"Of course you can. I've never done a movie that lost money. You should ask how much money you can make?"
"How much money can I make?"
"Doubling it should not be a big problem."
Li Xin: “…”
I can’t understand the world of bosses.
Aren’t TV series more profitable with more episodes
In fact, generally speaking, that is indeed the case.
But the plays produced by Yue Guan are definitely exceptions.
In addition, the director is still Brother Chen Kai.
A single episode can naturally sell for a sky-high price.
"Long Night" was also booked by the CCTV pay channel early, and half of the investment issues were directly solved by CCTV.
Because the upper limit of the subject matter of this drama is destined to be limited, Yue Guan has no intention of letting the crew of "The Long Night" shine brightly. He just needs to find a few actors who fit the characters and personalities, and it will be enough to produce a quality drama.
With his current fame and Chen Kaige's status, there is no need to worry about no one watching this drama.
When we film "In the Name of the People", we will just put together a top-quality lineup.
Li Xin simply flipped through the script of "The Long Night". After reading it, her expression changed.
"Yue Guan, this story is so heavy and the subject matter is so bold."
After a pause, Li Xin affirmed: "You are so good, you can write this kind of script."
Yue Guan: "..."
You are so awesome has become her mantra.
I really want to teach her how to make this sentence have a soul.
However, in public, I tolerate it.
"Yue Guan, can this subject pass the review?" Li Xin asked.
Yue Guan smiled: "The CCTV paid channel has been booked, and this drama is originally a mission drama."
"That's great. I'm honored to be able to film a drama like this." Li Xin still has her own understanding of the quality of a drama.
"The Long Night" may not be such a stunning story.
But it's touching enough.
The script actually tells three stories, using a three-line narrative and three parallel time and space techniques.
The first story is that of Hou Guiping.
Hou Guiping was originally a caring law student. When he went to teach, he discovered that someone was providing female students to some powerful people, and one of his female students died as a result. So he decided to expose the matter, but in the end he was framed and killed by a strong base woman. It was also faked that he drowned in panic.
The second story is Jiang Yang's story, with many people interspersed in it. The introduction is actually Hou Guiping's ex-girlfriend Li Jing.
After Hou Guiping's death, Li Jing found Jiang Yang and told Jiang Yang that the case was an unjust, false and wrong case, hoping that Jiang Yang could find out the truth and give an explanation to Hou Guiping's parents.
Jiang Yang realized the seriousness of this case at the first time. At that time, he was just a newcomer with no background. He had just arrived and he did not want to take on the case.
But Jiang Yang's girlfriend Wu Aike agreed without hesitation and persuaded Jiang Yang to work together to seek justice for his old classmates.
Wu Aike is the character played by Yue Guan and Li Xin. She is the only daughter of Jiang Yang's direct leader, a typical "kind, simple and beautiful" rich lady.
If you only see this, the audience will think that Wu Aike is the person who is willing to sacrifice his life for justice and truth, and Jiang Yang is just an ordinary person who seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune.
But during Jiang Yang's investigation, he gradually discovered the truth of the matter and met forensic doctor Chen Mingzhang and police officer Zhu Wei.
They found evidence, but the evidence they found was destroyed again and again, and the man behind the scenes showed his huge strength.
Wu Aike saw the seriousness behind this case, and she backed down.
But Jiang Yang, who only got involved in the case because Wu Aike agreed, chose to move on.
For this reason, he chose to break up with Wu Aike.
Some people are ignorant and fearless, full of a sense of justice. When they see injustice, they loudly say that they want justice. Then when the darkness overwhelms everything, such people gradually become silent.
Some people know the horror of darkness from the beginning. He once hesitated and hesitated, but after he made a decision, he plunged into the darkness and never came out.
The ignorant are fearless, this is Wu Aike, she is a real ordinary person.
But knowing yet fearless is Jiang Yang, Hou Guiping, and Zhu Wei. These are the real warriors.
During the investigation of the case, Zhu Wei was suspended from duty for three years and was forced to resign from the police system three years later.
Jiang Yang was framed for taking bribes and imprisoned, losing everything:
Future, family, and hope.
Hou Guiping - die with eyes closed.
This is the story of the long night.
The third story is Yan Liang’s story, and it is also the story of Jiang Yang’s sacrifice of his life.
Jiang Yang contracted a terminal illness in prison and died soon.
He decided to use his death to get more people's attention to this case.
And Jiang Yang's friends, warriors like Jiang Yang, also contributed to Jiang Yang's sacrifice of life.
Jiang Yang is responsible for death.
The original investigating trio, forensic doctor Chen Mingzhang, was responsible for Jiang Yang's death device, allowing Jiang Yang to successfully commit suicide.
Li Jing's husband Zhang Chao, who was also Hou Guiping's university teacher, was responsible for transporting Jiang Yang's body after Jiang Yang's death and making the world think he was the murderer.
Zhang Chao brought Jiang Yang's body to attract the attention of the whole society. After retracting his confession in court, he guided the police to investigate the case step by step. Finally, under the pressure of public opinion, the moth and tiger behind it were pulled out.
Zhu Wei was responsible for creating panic in the periphery, forcing the police to find out the truth as soon as possible.
Their purpose is simple: to expand their influence and create a sensational case, the higher the standard of the investigation team they attract, the better. They want as many people as possible to participate in the investigation of the incident, and gradually guide the investigation team to find the truth that was shrouded in darkness back then.
Everyone breaks the law in the process.
But that's the price they were prepared to pay from the start.
This group of people have tried to protect their rights through legitimate means, more than once, but the results have been disastrous failures time and time again, which has ruined their lives.
They can only take this tragic approach.
Fortunately, there is another protagonist in the third story - Yan Liang, a university professor, a special consultant to the police, and a master in solving crimes.
Yan Liang’s role is to solve crimes.
Solve crimes in the current time and space.
Find out what Jiang Yang went through when he was alive.
Find out what Jiang Yang found out about Hou Guiping when he was alive.
Find out what Hou Guiping experienced back then.
And, find out what Jiang Yang and the group of people are currently planning to do.
He succeeded.
To be precise, he succeeded from the beginning.
He had guessed very early on that Jiang Yang and the others were going to sacrifice themselves to tear through the darkness and gain light.
But he chose not to say it.
Because he knew that if he revealed it too early, the entire case might be suppressed and the expected results would not be achieved.
It's hard to see the light in the long night, but there are always people in the world who sacrifice their lives to light the lamp.
Jiang Yang used his own death in exchange for the truth, and the Hou Guiping case was brought to justice.
Zhu Wei, Chen Mingzhang, Li Jing, and Zhang Chao assisted Jiang Yang in completing this grand sacrifice at the expense of their own illegality.
And Yan Liang fulfilled them.
At the same time, it also helped everyone clear their names.
Delayed justice may not be called justice.
But it's better than never getting there.
This script is not particularly good.
But this story is very touching.
Li Xin was completely moved.
"Although Wu Ai is not my favorite character, she is very real and I am very willing to play such a character."
Yue Guan nodded: "As long as you don't mind, after filming "The Long Night", I will give you another role."
Wu Aike is really not likeable.
But this role is a must.
Without her presence, Jiang Yang's rareness would not be highlighted.
It also fails to highlight the huge sacrifice Jiang Yang made in order to investigate this case.
Therefore, Wu Aike not only needs to find a good actor, but also an actor who will make the audience feel that it is a pity to miss this girl at the first sight.
If Li Xin's current character design wasn't suitable for such a wealthy lady, Yue Guan would have even considered asking Liu Yifei, Tang Yan and the others to play a cameo role.
"No need to compensate, I really like this drama, it's so touching. After this drama is filmed, I will definitely watch it. Hou Guiping, Jiang Yang, Yan Liang, Zhu Wei, Chen Mingzhang, Li Jing, Zhang Chao... all It’s a warrior, and the show is a third-tier story with three protagonists?”
Yue Guan nodded: "Theoretically, there are indeed three protagonists, and the roles will not be too different. Of course, in terms of setting, Jiang Yang will be more outstanding."
Because Jiang Yang has a self-sacrifice link.
He was the one who made the greatest sacrifice, and he should be the one who received the most emotion.
However, in terms of plot and scenes, the scenes played by Yan Liang and Hou Guiping are not much worse than Jiang Yang.
This drama, in a sense, is a three-protagonist drama.
Li Xin also thought of this, and then she felt a little embarrassed for the actors who played Yan Liang and Hou Guiping: "They must be under a lot of pressure to act with you. Yue Guan, the roles of these two people are also very important, you have to handle them well. It’s just a matter of checking.”
"Of course, especially Yan Liang."
In fact, Yan Liang's setting is also a tool man.
A tool used to advance the plot.
In this sense, Yan Liang and Hou Liangping are very similar.
It is not an easy task to perform a character like Yan Liang brilliantly.
Jiang Yang's setting is the guarantor of the show. As long as the actors' acting skills are online, the effect will not be too bad.
However, Yan Liang's setting is a human protection drama, which requires a big shot at the level of an actor to be in charge, otherwise it will be easy to produce the same effect as Lu Yi's Hou Liangping.
"If nothing else happens, Yan Liang should find a best actor to play the role. I have already contacted him."
"Actor? Who?" Li Xin asked with interest.
Yue Guan looked through Li Xin and looked behind her, and smiled proactively: "He's here."
Li Xin turned around.
I saw a familiar figure:
Liao Fan.
The actor who played Yan Liang in the original version of "The Silent Truth".
The acting was good, so Yue Guan didn't bother to change it.
However, Yue Guan's admiration for Liao Fan's acting skills did not come from "The Silent Truth", nor from "Fireworks in the Day" which won him the Berlin Best Actor, but in "All Quiet in Peking", Liao Fan faced Xie Mulan and He Xiaoyu, the two leading ladies who were holding back, were actually able to stay out of the drama and contribute actor-level acting skills.
If it were the leader, he would be pulled into the same line by the two heroines with poor acting skills every minute.
From this point of view, Liao Fan is much better than the leader.
