Chapter 275 Changing Corners

"CUT, stop, stop, stop!" On the set, Zhang Duo, who was playing Ling Huchong, suddenly shouted loudly. All the performers stopped and looked at their director, not knowing what had happened.

Zhang Duo threw away his hat, carried the prop sword, and quickly walked to the camera. Liu Weichang quickly gave up his position so that Zhang Duo could watch the scene he had filmed before. A few minutes later, Zhang Duo, with a gloomy face, sighed, because he still failed to interpret Linghu Chong's charm.

Wu Jiangxiong leaned over and said, "Director, do you want to stop for a moment?"

"Oh, stop, stop, stop today!" Zhang Duo said with a calm face, and the people in the crew were som that none of them dared to talk nonsense for fear of touching the mold.

The actors took off their makeup and went out to eat and drink in groups. The staff in the crew were busy packing up the props and equipment. After Zhang Duo turned around and left, there was a lot of discussion on the set.

"What's wrong with the director? Won't he go crazy again?" The speaker was a young man in charge of the lighting, who knew Zhang Duo's madness when he played Yang Kang.

"It's hard to say, but looking at this situation, I'm afraid our play will be full of twists and turns, and it won't go well!" A dramat on the side said.

"If you want me to say, we still live our job honestly. If you are a director, be careful, you will lose more words." Another person said.

The set seems to be much quieter, but from time to time, there are still whispering.

Zhang Duo returned to the hotel and recalled several versions of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" he had seen, hoping to get some inspiration, but in the end, he still had no experience.

Some people say that there are three things that can't be filmed in "Xiao Ao Jianghu". First, the charm of Linghu Chong can't be performed by ordinary people; second, the mystery of Dugu Jiujian can't be shown in the image; third, the artistic conception of "Xiao Ao Jianghu" can't be sung by ordinary songs.

Xu Guanjie's version in the previous life is much inferior to the original work in these three points, but it is still rated as the most successful adaptation of Jin Yong's martial arts film, which shows the difficulty of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

While Zhang Duo was thinking, Jin Yuzhi knocked on the door and came in. Because she didn't play today, she stayed in the hotel all the time. When I heard that the crew had ended early, I came to have a look.

Mid-July, a hot summer day. Jin Yuzhi only wore a long snow-white skirt, revealing her smooth calves, looking extraordinary, like a fairy. It's just that Zhang Duo at this moment has no mood to appreciate it.

"Why, the shooting didn't go well today?" Jin Yuzhi walked to the sofa and sat down next to Zhang Duo.

"Well, I found that I really can't play the feeling of Linghu Chong." Zhang Duo said with some frustration.

"It's not that you wrote him so well that he doesn't seek fame and fortune and doesn't love power. How can this extraordinary character be interpreted by ordinary people like us?" Jin Yuzhi said quietly.

Zhang Duo looked at Jin Yuzhi sideways, "Do you think I'm a layman?"

"Nonsense, don't tell me that you don't love money and beauty?" Jin Yuzhi said with a white look.

Zhang Duo smiled, hugged Jin Yuzhi and said, "Love! Of course I love it!"

"Damn it, take your paws away!" Jin Yuzhi scolded, but there was a little joy in the harsh voice.

Zhang Duo stopped Ling Huchong's scene again and continued to shoot other scenes. At the same time, he issued a notice to recruit the protagonist and ordered the employees of Wanbang Film and Television Artist Department to send invitations to actors who match the image and temperament of other companies.

Zhang Duo's move shocked the entertainment industry. For a while, there was a lot of news about the temporary role change of "Smiling Proud Wanderer".

Sacred Heart Film and Television Company, Dai Anmin looked at the newspaper with a surprised face and couldn't hide his shock. Zhang Duo wrote, directed and acted many times, but this time he actually replaced himself?

Wang Cheng was also shocked, but he did not forget his staff duties. Ling Huchong is really difficult to play, and ordinary people can't play that kind of Shen Yun at all. In the whole Chinese film and television circle, only three people can play this role well.

"Oh, which three?" As a qualified listener, Dai Anmin asked this question in due course.

"First, it's Liu Zhengming of Changying Group, but he is too old, so I'm afraid Zhang Duo won't choose him."

Dai Anmin nodded and said, "I don't think so. The second person you mentioned is Xu Jingming, right?"

"Yes, it's him. Xu Jingming is very suitable regardless of appearance, age and temperament. I think Zhang Duo should choose him."

Dai Anmin nodded and then shook his head and said, "Xu Jingming once wore costumes to help his friends fight in the middle of filming. If Zhang Duo invites him, I'm afraid there will be no end to the cooperation between the two. Who is the third person?

Wang Cheng did not have any dissatisfaction with Dai Anmin's rejection of Xu Yuanzhi, but said with a smile, "Don't you think I'm also very suitable to play Linghu Chong?"

Dai Anmin was stunned first, and then laughed and said, "Yes, it really fits, it really fits!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Duo should choose Xu Jingming. If they have no end, they will agree with us!" Wang Cheng said proudly.

"If Xu Jingming can drag him down for a month or two, it is much less likely that our "Dragon Travels the World" will collide with "Smiling Proud Jianghu"." Dai Anmin said with great anticipation.

That afternoon, Zhang Duo waited for Xu Jingming's agent, He Si, deputy general manager of Mingguang Company. The two made an appointment to meet at 6 p.m. at a western restaurant in Foshan.

In the elegantly decorated box, Zhang Duo shook hands with a capable workplace beauty. Mr. Zhang, I have known you for a long time!" He Si said humbly, "Mr. Xu can't make it in time. Let me apologize to Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Duo smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as Miss He can make full decision."

"That's natural!"

After chatting for a while, He Si got to the point, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu and I attach great importance to the information you said on the phone. So please tell me more about it."

"Well, for some reasons, I'm not going to direct or act by myself, but I want to ask Mr. Xu to play the role of Ling Huchong as the protagonist of Smiling Proud Jianghu." Zhang Duo said bluntly.

"Ringhu Chong?" He Si settled down and asked again, "Ling Huchong, the protagonist of Smiling Proud Jianghu?"

"Exact." Zhang Duo confirmed it calmly and seemed to be saying something unrelated.

He Si couldn't help shouting in his heart and felt that his breathing was accelerating. This is an opportunity, a great opportunity!

Xu Jingming is an actor from a martial arts champion, but unfortunately he is too unruly. The year before last, when I was filming an ancient costume drama, I suddenly received a phone call saying that my friend was surrounded by a group of gangsters. As a result, without saying a word, he didn't have time to change his costume. He went straight to the scene of the accident and took the lead for his friends, which had a very bad impact. Because of this, Xu Jingming missed many opportunities, but he looked regretless.

Now Xu Jingming's status is awkward and lacks opportunities to become the most popular star. If you can become the protagonist of Smiling Proud Jianghu, you will definitely hope to turn over. This opportunity is definitely not a film's remuneration that can be measured. If Xu Jingming can play this Linghu Chong well, his future will be unlimited!

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if I can see a copy of the contract?" He Si's cheeks were a little red, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart. If there is nothing wrong with the contract, I can agree and sign the contract on behalf of Mr. Xu.

He Si looked afraid of Zhang Duo's remorse. Who knows if he will suddenly want to act by himself again? Who knows if other actors are recommending himself? She is afraid of Ye Chang's dreams!

"No problem." Zhang Duo smiled and said that a thick copy of the contract was handed to He Si, and she couldn't wait to look at it.

Ten minutes later, He Si put away the copy of the contract and said solemnly, "There is nothing wrong with me. I don't know if I can sign the contract now?"

Zhang Duo turned his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have heard about Mr. Xu. From the standpoint of a friend, I admire him. But from the perspective of the crew, I don't agree with him. Therefore, let's first be a villain and then a gentleman. First of all, we need him to come to the crew to audition and pass the audition before signing the contract. In addition, if this happens again, the crew has the right to change actors.

After saying that, Zhang Duo took out a supplementary agreement and handed it to the past. He Si's face suddenly became embarrassed. Mr. Zhang, we can guarantee that similar things will not happen, the agreement...?"

Zhang Duo leaned back, looked a little disdainful, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I never believe in my promise with empty teeth."

He Si gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'll go out and call Mr. Xu."

Zhang Duo nodded with a smile and saw He Si walk out of the box with a cat step. In the bathroom, He Si told the situation.

On the phone, a very magnetic voice came out, "I thought he was an outstanding figure. It turned out that he was also a secular villain. No wonder he couldn't play Ling Hu Chong well. Promise him, I don't believe he can change the protagonist twice.

He Si sighed in his heart and couldn't say anything more. After hanging up the phone, he returned to the box and replied to Zhang Duo.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu has agreed to your requests, and he will also rush to the crew tomorrow. I hope we can cooperate happily." He Si stretched out his hand and said.

Zhang Duo also stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation."

Zhang Duo returned to the hotel and saw Jin Yuzhi reading "Deer Tripod" on his computer in his room. He couldn't help saying, "Didn't I send them all to you?"

Jin Yuzhi said unhappily, "Why, you don't welcome me here?"

Zhang Duo hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just a little unexpected."

"What happened?" Jin Yuzhi asked.

"You all said that Xu Jingming is more difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect him to sign the contract easily!" Zhang Duo changed the topic.
