Chapter 31 Salted Fish Turns Over
In fact, it is not troublesome to summon these superstars. For some stars who are a little too angry but the audience is familiar, this is a good opportunity to show their faces, and some people even recommend themselves.
On the afternoon of the announcement of shooting, Pan Hongsheng received several emails from Pan Changjiang, the name of the dish, Guo Da and others.
These familiar faces all hope to have a role in the New Year's film and do not choose a role.
These people are almost all regulars of New Year's films. It seems that without them, they are not New Year's films.
Pan Hongsheng happily agreed, which saved his trouble. There is no need to worry about the acting experience of these old actors. The next step is to look for the protagonist of this film.
For New Year's films, it is very difficult to find the protagonist.
Because most of the stars in the film are celebrities, they must stand out among these celebrities and not be robbed by tricks. They must require this person to have strong personal strength.
Unlike those films that are all newcomers, New Year's films are simply Longtan Tiger's den for the protagonist. If you are robbed by a supporting role, it is not only the dereliction of duty of the leading actor, but the director will also be looked down upon by others.
Pan Hongsheng was a little hesitant. There was obviously only one protagonist in this film, that is, the unlucky Qi San.
Who will play him?
Xiao Nan, Zhang Bowen? Not even! It's not obscene and real enough.
The positioning of this protagonist is to be more ordinary and have the smell of purebred losers.
Zhang Bowen's evil posture, Xiao Nan's small and fresh style is completely unsuitable, and his appearance is too handsome.
So he circled the protagonist's selection: short, frustrated, obscene. Three keywords above.
But this is equivalent to making a pit for yourself: everyone generally likes a stronger protagonist. Who would like to see that the protagonist is this kind of thing?
He gathered the photos of several actors, namely: "Yan Xiaoliu", "Pan Changjiang" and "Yao Erga".
It can be said that the appearance of these three actors is completely in line with the standards, especially Yan Xiaoliu and Yao Erga, which are simply carved from three molds.
Pan Hongsheng carefully compared and analyzed all aspects, but after all, he had less experience and didn't know enough about several people, so he still found Tang Shao and asked him about his situation.
"First of all, I think Pan Changjiang can be excluded." Tang Shaohe said slowly, "He is too old and his appearance is not suitable for your character. I have read your script. The protagonist needs to be a little fat, and then has a strong temperament. There is no doubt that Yan Xiaoliu has an age advantage and appearance advantage, but..."
"Just say it directly. It's just the two of us now." Pan Hongsheng handed over a cigarette.
Tang Shao lit a cigarette and took a sip hard, and then said, "Although Yan Xiaoliu's external image is very consistent, he has little experience on the screen after all. Although he once played tricks in other films before it was spread outside martial arts, he has too little experience after all, and he does not have the strength to be the protagonist at present."
"It's almost the same as I thought," Pan Hongsheng nodded and spewed out a puff of smoke: "So, Yao Erga is the most suitable candidate? I don't know much about him. I seem to be very familiar with him, but I just can't remember what films he has made.
Tang Shao is a little proud: "This is how few films you watch. Do you know the films Ge You shot in the early days? Do you know the Erzi store opening series filmed by Chen Peisi that year? He plays a supporting role in it. There is also the sitcom "I'm a country bumpkin" shot by Mr. Chen Peisi in the early years. He is also one of the leading actors... Of course, he has disappeared a little in the past few years. Maybe he is a little old. He is estimated to be more than 40 years old with Ge You.
Pan Hongsheng's heart sank when he heard this age: 40 years old! Unlike the protagonist designed in the story outline, only young people can do things so headless. If this character is too old, the audience will instinctively feel that this is a little unreliable...
But he still asked the secretary to find Yao Erga's contact information and told him to have a try.
When Yao Erga, who had almost passed away, learned that the superstar was going to be the leading actor, his first reaction was that he met a liar.
It was not until Pan Hongsheng's secretary repeatedly confirmed the explanation that he reluctantly accepted this fact.
When Yao Erga walked into the headquarters of Thunder Superstar, he was frightened by the posture of black bodyguards everywhere: Is this... Am I going the wrong way? Is this a thunder superstar?
After seeing this person, Pan Hongsheng had a brief chat, and then decided that he would be the leading actor.
He does things simply. No matter whether you have been a leading actor before, with the strength of the other party and years of acting experience with Mr. Chen Peisi, it is absolutely no problem to be qualified for such a role!
But Yao Erga sat on the sofa and was so excited that he could hardly get up: "What? Do you really want me to make No. 1? Be the leading actor? Or is it in the New Year's film?!"
As a stormy old guy in the entertainment industry, he knows what it is like to be a leading actor in New Year's films.
There are many stars in the New Year's film. The protagonist must be an outstanding person, and what about him? I have never been a protagonist, and I have never been famous. Everyone feels familiar with him, but I just don't know the name.
This is also the reason why he has recently faded out of the film and television industry. He has opened several restaurants and is ready to change his job.
"Excuse me, Mr. Pan, why do you give me such an important role as such a big boss?" He finally said what was on his mind.
Over the years, he has been struggling in the entertainment industry. He has seen a lot of momentum and understands all the truths.
Sometimes the protagonists in some positions need money to fight for it with relationships, or with the body...
But he fell in love with this boss. He lived an ignorant life and his strength was not very strong. Why did he suddenly win the favor of others?
Pan Hongsheng looked at him and smiled: "There is no other reason, just because of one thing: you are suitable for this role!"
Sure enough, it did not go beyond Pan Hongsheng's expectation. Yao Erga, the hero based on Qi San, performed well. Although there were Guo Dacaiming, Ge You and other celebrities in the New Year's film, he failed to steal his play.
This gloomy little man in the entertainment industry, starting from the stubborn master and other films, has always been a running role. On a sunny day, he just plays a wooden stick, and can only shout: Columbus, me! The fool.
He got more opportunities by following Mr. Chen Peisi, but he also went down with Mr. Chen's shadows.
In those years, Ge You was the best actor, and Zhang Guoli was the principal. Even the most promising Liang Tian was a gold medal. Only he was the same as in those years, just a small role with one or two lines and disappeared in front of people.
No one cherishes this opportunity more than him. Maybe he will never have it again in his life!
The lonely man instantly released all the energy accumulated in his heart and the neglect he suffered for the rest of his life!
The name of this New Year's film is "Idol Comes in person", and the leading actor suddenly wrote the words Yao Erga!
From the time he was a teenager, he finally became a dignified leading actor!
This play became popular with this lonely man.
Pan Hongsheng's debut work shows his talent in directing. Although the theme and depth of this film are doomed to be unrelated to Oscar, he has known how to be a director and how to be a good director through the accumulated experience of this play.
The New Year's film has been well received by the audience, and the thunder superstar has once again increased his exposure. Now, even if he is an aunt who buys green onions in the vegetable market, the old man who only knows how to read newspapers at home knows the existence of this company.
To some extent, New Year's films are actually more valuable than Oscars.
