Chapter 182 Weakness, Lubricant, Opportunity (Asking for Monthly Pass)

Respect the original work.

Adaptation is not nonsense.

This is what Zu Ming reminded Dong Deng, and it is also Dong Deng’s own insistence on filming IP dramas.

He always feels that since it is an adaptation, it must respect the original work and at the same time respect the original author.

The original author of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is called Sun Xing. He is a part-time online writer. He usually writes short series on the website, most of which focus on espionage.

You must know that most of the current online articles start with a million words. The longest online article is "The Cause of the Great Path of All Heavens" written by the Water Monkey author. It has been updated for 17 years and is still being updated.

Therefore, an online article with only 180,000 words like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is really the first one.

When Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", it was because it happened to catch up with the IP boom. Many popular IPs like Qidian had already been bought by others, so Huahai simply bought some less popular ones.

Otherwise, most people have never heard of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", whether online or offline? ?

Even though Sun Xing was writing about espionage and the Republic of China, he was not that old, only 27 years old, and he seemed to be quite fearful of society. When Dong Deng introduced him, Sun Xing stood up and just said, " Hello everyone'.

Next, is the introduction of the screenwriting team. This time, the chief screenwriter of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying, which was also officially announced before.

Xia Ying is a great master in the world of screenwriters. He has very few works. He has only three works in the past ten years, but each of his works can be regarded as a phenomenal work.

This time "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying's second time as a screenwriter after three years.

In Xia Ying's words, he liked this script very much. In fact, when Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright three years ago, they approached him, and Xia Ying was also very interested.

To be honest, today's script study meeting was just to meet each other, get to know each other, and then shoot the material. Everyone would briefly chat with each other, talk about their understanding of the characters, etc.

Liang Yi plays Chen Xueli, the young master of the Chen family.

Lin Xing plays Chen Xuewen, the eldest son of Chen.

Ren Shuai plays Chen Xuexing, who was raised by the Chen family.

Wei Fei plays Chen Xuewu, the eldest sister of the Chen family.

These are the four leading actors in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and some of the scenes will even be performed in the Chen family's villa.

Although Wei Fei is not the female lead, she still has a lot of roles, and the relationship between the Chen siblings in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is quite complicated.

Family ties are naturally very close, but at the same time everyone has multiple identities.

When Lin Xing read the script, he was actually thinking about who should play the role of Chen Xuewu. First of all, this role is very three-dimensional and multi-faceted.

Chen Xuewu is the eldest son of the Chen family, and Youdao is the eldest sister and mother. It can be said that both Chen Xueli and Chen Xuewen respect Chen Xuewu very much.

Of course, it’s not just respect.

According to the setting of the original work, Chen Xuewu took over the family business when he was less than sixteen years old. Because their parents were murdered at that time, the Chen Group was in a difficult situation, but Chen Xuewu took over the Chen Group and restored it. He regained a firm foothold in the magic city.

The script added another emotional line to Chen Xuewu, that is, Chen Xuewu could have gotten married when he was 24 years old, but in that case the Chen Group would have been swallowed up.

For this reason, Chen Xuewu decided not to marry for the sake of the Chen family and her younger brother.

Because Chen Xuewu has encountered all kinds of difficulties along the way, she is bound to hate evil with hatred. In addition, she is the eldest sister, so it is easier for her to speak out.

When she was young, Chen Xuewu actually wanted to serve the country, but because of the Chen family, she eventually became a red capitalist.

Strong, persistent, strong, but also a little stubborn.

No matter which adjective is used, basically the role of Chen Xuewu is extremely good.

"Sister Fei, I really didn't expect you to play Chen Xuewu."

After finishing reading the script this morning, Lin Xing asked Wei Fei with a smile.

Wei Fei smiled and said: "I didn't plan to act originally. You also know that I have been helping Lao Liu select scripts recently. I want to be a good housekeeper, but Lao Liu feels that he is not in a hurry for a while, and he is following The old Dong is a friend, and this old Dong..."

Okay.

Liu Zhou was actually good friends with Dong Deng.

This really means that the circle is getting smaller and smaller.

Wei Fei said that after reading the script, her favorite character was Ying Feier, because she thought the character of Ying Feier was flesh and blood.

But there is no way, Wei Fei is simply unable to act like this at her age.

"Sister Fei, what's going on with Ling Mei??"

Ren Shuai asked Wei Fei: "Liang Yi had already landed the male lead, and then suddenly a female lead dropped in."

"Oh, what could happen??"

Wei Fei said with a bit of disdain: "That's all."

"It's normal."

Lin Xing still said the same thing: "We just have to play ourselves well. Sister Fei, your role is not easy to play this time."

"kindness."

Wei Fei laughed: "Have you finished reading the script?"

Lin Xing nodded slightly: "I've finished reading."

Wei Fei continued to ask: "Have you finished reading the original work??"

"Well, I've finished reading."

Lin Xing said.

Wei Fei had worked with Lin Xing before. When filming "The Murderer in the Portrait", Wei Fei knew how talented Lin Xing was. Lin Xing had a profound understanding of every role.

You should know that during the filming, several actors listened to Lin Xing's suggestions.

Lin Xing's understanding of roles is extremely abnormal.

Because of this, Wei Fei wanted to ask Lin Xing for advice.

The two of them were already quite familiar with each other, so Wei Fei was not shy. She went straight to the point: "So, Ah Xing, what do you think is the role of Chen Xuewu in the play?"

"Position?"

Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "I think her role is a weakness."

Wei Fei was a little surprised: "Weakness???"

"Yes, it is a weakness."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "She is the weakness of the Chen brothers. In my opinion, the eldest sister is the person Chen Xuewen trusts the most in the world. Even Chen Xuewen only feels a headache when facing the eldest sister.

Secondly, for Chen Xueli, it goes without saying, because the eldest sister brought Chen Xueli up and even gave him Xueli is motherly love, she raised Chen Xueli up.

And there is Chen Xuexing, in his heart, it was his elder sister who saved his childhood and sent him abroad to study

...

During the [script reading], Lin Xing did not have the opportunity to say these things. Besides, if it was the first [script reading], Lin Xing would just talk about various analyses. Isn't that pretending?

But to be honest, even if Wei Fei didn't ask him, Lin Xing would take the time to analyze with Wei Fei.

This kind of analysis is not instruction, but rather mutual discussion.

Some plots require everyone to talk to each other to talk out.

Wei Fei nodded gently at this time: "It is indeed like this, your analysis is quite right, it is really a weak point."

In the original book or in the script, Chen Xuewu actually wanted to join the underground struggle, but was politely rejected because Chen Xuewu's personality was not suitable.

She was too straightforward and too hateful of evil.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xuewu often brought trouble to the Chen brothers.

"Axing, what about my character? ? "

Ren Shuai couldn't help asking.

Lin Xing laughed: "You are the lubricant of the Chen family."

The word lubricant is the most appropriate to describe the character of Chen Xuexing.

If Chen Xuewen has multiple identities, then Chen Xuexing also has multiple identities. Not only that, he has to help Chen Xuewen all the time.

Even when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xueli had a conflict, when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xuewu had a conflict, when Chen Xueli and Chen Xuewu had a conflict, Chen Xuexing was needed to mediate.

In short, it is more appropriate to say that Chen Xuexing is a lubricant.

Then the three of them talked about the script with each other. Wei Fei was better because she knew Lin Xing's ability, but Ren Shuai was shocked.

He I heard from Kong Wen about Lin Xing's ability to understand the script, especially Lin Xing's ability to understand the role.

But that was just hearsay.

Before today, the two did not discuss the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" too much.

But today's discussion is really different.

In the afternoon, the [Script Reading Session] continued.

Unlike the morning, this time the discussion is to focus on the role, and the most important thing is to say some lines.

Among them, Liang Yi also said some lines, and Lin Xing thought it was okay.

"Xiao Liang is right, then, Ah Xing, you also talk about your character."

Dong Deng said with a smile.

Lin Xing said a few lines first.

"First there is a country, then there is a family. For me, serving the country is neither a job nor a business, it is a belief."

"Born here, raised here, I love this city, and I have not let this city down. "

……

Lin Xing was reciting the lines.

He had his own feelings.

For Lin Xing, Chen Xuewen was a very pitiful character.

I wish I could protect my country forever, why would I have to go to Yumen Pass.

For Chen Xuewen, he was passionate about serving his country. He threw his life behind him from the beginning. He thought that he could serve the country alone for the Chen family.

He wanted his elder sister not to get involved, he wanted his younger brother to study with peace of mind, and he didn't even want Chen Xuexing to get involved.

But the Chen family's family tradition is Here.

Whether it is Chen Xuewu, Chen Xuewen, or even Chen Xueli, who has been naughty since childhood, they are all going to serve the country.

This is the Chen family.

If Chen Xuewu is positioned as a soft spot in the play, and if Chen Xuexing is positioned as a lubricant in the play, then Chen Xuewen is positioned as the soul in the play.

The soul requires him to connect all aspects together.

The [script reading] in the afternoon is more lively.

Most of the leading actors read their lines.

"I have sent batches of children here. Some were sent to the front line, some were sent to the enemy's rear, and some were sent to the grave. Some of them are gentle, some are honest, and some are fierce. Even those who are afraid of death are good children. It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era, went to the wrong school, and chose the wrong teacher."

"I want to serve the country, I like this country, but do I have a chance? Or, I love my country, but does this country love me??"

"I still don't know what to do next. I always want to live under the sun, but for people like us, it's impossible to live under the sun, even if we die."

…

In the afternoon's [Script Reading], some of the supporting characters, or some of the main characters, began to analyze and read aloud their roles.

Lin Xing naturally also saw some differences.

Some actors are really good at acting. For example, when I was studying the script of "The Big Brother", Ren Yi, Wang Fei and others can directly draw you into the plot.

This may also be the meaning of script reading.

After the afternoon reading, everyone had a meal together in the evening.

This is the crew's first dinner together.

However, Ling Mei did not participate.

Dong Deng just said to everyone: "Let's not drink in the next few days. Let's work together to do a better job for this drama."

No drinking, just talking.

But after the big dinner, Lin Xing had another small gathering with Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and two other actors.

Even though everyone had known each other before, they all spoke freely about the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and even other directions.

Again, it’s all about shooting.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Nan told Lin Xing about Magnolia's upcoming red carpet appearance. Lin Xing only had to walk in a group on "Sweeping the Black Wave".

Obviously, the crew of "Just Waiting for You" did not repay Lin Xing at all, nor did they invite Lin Xing to walk on the red carpet.

how to say? ?

This crew is the only one with whom Lin Xing has not interacted much after filming. Except for the assistant director who originally filmed him, there is really no contact with anyone else.

But that's normal.

After all, Lin Xing had not been filming for a few days, so it is understandable that our relationship has not reached this stage.

The entertainment industry has always been a circle, and even though the entertainment industry usually involves fighting and killing, many times it is just a matter of human relationships.

Just like what happened in the film industry this year, there are some bad movies that you think are bad movies, and even the audience is saying that they are bad movies, but some film critics and some stars will give you an advantage.

Said it was a good movie.

Previously, there was an official V who went crazy and said: "You are slandering this show like this, and I, the righteous media people, will never agree."

Do you really think of yourself as a father, or do you want to educate the audience? ?

Lin Xing has always taken warning from these.

As an actor, he just has to do his job.

He can say a few words about things that he really understands, but don't pretend to understand those who don't understand.

Lin Xing originally didn't want to participate in the Magnolia Awards this time, but he had no choice. He was in Shanghai, and it was really unjustifiable not to participate.

What’s more, this in itself is also an excellent opportunity for exposure.

Moreover, Ding Chunling also helped Lin Xing get another chance.
