Chapter 398 Fat people have the benefits of fat people
The biggest difference between "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Old Nine Gates" is that it puts the importance of tomb robbing in the first place.
In the memory of Chinese people, what can be found in tombs?
It's nothing more than a coffin, a dead person, and at most some burial objects, nothing more.
This also makes Chinese people feel that TV series about tomb robbing are not good to watch and have low interest.
But in the final analysis, it is still because of their limited imagination.
Just the unheard-of things such as the seven-star suspicious coffin, the blue-eyed fox corpse, and the hydra cypress that appear in "Qixinglu Palace" are enough to push the story directly to the climax.
And there are many emotional lines in "Old Nine Gates".
The love between Er Er Hong and Ya Tou;
The love between Zhang Foye and Yin Xinyue.
These plots actually cater to the more mainstream romance drama lines now, so the audience's focus is not entirely on tomb robbing.
Starting from this movie "Qixing Lu Palace", Chen Ming wants to show the Chinese people what the charm of tomb robbing is.
Ten minutes later, everyone closed the script, with thoughts in their eyes.
The script is not complete!
Chen Ming had only finished half of the script he had written for several days. This could not be blamed on Chen Ming. After all, his brain was not Baidu, so he could not search for anything he thought of immediately.
But judging from the early plot, this TV series is definitely a hit TV series.
There is no doubt about it!
The appearance of the bloody corpse in the first episode directly aroused everyone's interest. This is similar to the first episode of "Old Nine Gates".
But the subject who found the body was different.
In "Old Nine Gates", Buddha is a warlord with a very prominent status.
However, "Qixing Lu Palace" is introduced from the perspective of a group of tomb robbers.
The lack of identity disparity gives the audience a greater sense of immersion.
After all, in real life, there are only a few people with status similar to warlords. However, there are many people who are forced to survive by living like tomb robbers.
Chen Ming did not disturb anyone.
After a long time, everyone calmed down. The others were fine. Du Keke and Song Meng seemed particularly excited. It turned out to be this feeling when reading the script of a TV series in advance.
It feels like reading a novel, but it's a little different.
Chen Ming smiled and said: "Everyone has finished watching, let me briefly talk about the role distribution."
Hearing this, everyone looked serious.
"I play Wu Xie."
No one had any opinion.
"Zhou Yike, you..." Chen Ming pointed at Zhou Yike, hesitating.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming continued: "First try the role of Menyou Ping, which is the role of Zhang Qiling. Your personality is more similar to this character, so you can barely act in your true colors."
The character of Menyou Piao is boring.
Although Zhou Yike talks more than before, overall, he is still a boring person.
Moreover, the character Menyou Ping does not have many lines, and most of the time he just needs to perform actions.
To put it simply, it's just about pretending to be handsome and cool, which shouldn't be difficult for Zhou Yike.
In fact, Chen Ming originally planned to let Tong Ran try the role of Men You Ping, but then he thought that it would be frustrating for Tong Ran to force Tong Ran to play the role of Men You Ping with such an out-of-the-box character.
In this case, it's better to let Zhou Yike give it a try.
Zhou Yike nodded and said nothing.
Chen Ming nodded with satisfaction.
Can!
Zhou Yike has already entered the state now.
Tong Ran asked excitedly: "What about me?"
Chen Ming rubbed his chin and thought for a long time: "You try the role of Wu Sansheng."
Wu Sansheng?
Tong Ran looked confused.
In the script, Wu Sansheng is an uncle in his forties. It feels a bit inconsistent for a young man in his twenties to play a middle-aged man.
Chen Ming said helplessly: "If you don't want to, I can find some older actors, but I personally don't want to find anyone else, because Wu Sansheng's character is also a tomb robber, and some big actions of going to the tomb are inevitable.
, if someone else gets injured while doing difficult movements, it will be in trouble."
Don't ask for a substitute!
There is no word substitute in Chen Ming's dictionary.
Firstly, having a stand-in seems perfunctory; secondly, being a stand-in also costs money.
To be honest, Chen Ming definitely did not do it because of the second reason. Adhering to the principle of not perverting the audience, Chen Ming insisted on not using a substitute, and even he was moved by himself.
There are not many people as dedicated as him!
Tong Ran hurriedly said: "I will act, I will act."
Chen Ming showed a smile.
mock up!
I can control you, I can control you to death~
Then, Chen Ming looked at Du Keke: "Sister Keke, just try the role of Chen Wenjin. Not only will you interact with Tong Ran in the plot, but there won't be many scenes overall, so don't be too nervous."
Chen Ming was afraid that Du Keke would be nervous, so he gave her a role with a smaller role.
Du Keke nodded seriously, extremely seriously.
Chen Ming couldn't help but smile. Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. When it comes to things like filming, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. On the contrary, Tong Ran's lively and out-of-the-box personality relieved him a lot of stress.
"Song Meng, just play the role of Aning."
An Ning?
Song Meng thought for a few seconds before remembering this role.
Jude takes the test to be the female leader of the team!
This character also tends to have a cold style, which matches Zhou Yike's style better.
I have to say that Chen Ming is really particular about casting.
Later, Chen Ming selected several students from among the college students and assigned roles such as Pan Zi and Dakui.
There is also a very important character, Fatty Wang.
Chen Ming hesitated.
First of all, this character needs to be...fat.
As a member of the Iron Triangle, Fatty Wang's biggest role is to adjust the atmosphere when the atmosphere is solemn and bring out his funny qualities, and to come to rescue Wu Xie when he is in trouble.
It can be said that if it weren't for Fatty Wang, Wu Xie would have died several times.
Secondly, as mentioned above, Fatty Wang is an optimist, so his character needs to be funny and mischievous.
Tong Ran's character is very suitable for the role of Fatty Wang, but his body shape really has nothing to do with being fat, which is why Chen Ming was hesitant before.
It would be better if Tong Ran was fatter...
However, Chen Ming also knew that this idea was unrealistic. After all, even if Tong Ran wanted to gain weight, Du Keke would supervise him.
Chen Ming fell silent.
The studio also became quiet.
I have to say that the role of Fatty Wang really stumped Chen Ming.
After a long time, Chen Ming looked at Xu Manke: "I can't make up my mind about the role of Fatty Wang. Do you have any good opinions?"
Xu Manke looked around at the crowd with helpless eyes.
The dozen or so people here are all thin, and a few of them are slightly fatter. Chen Ming has also assigned stronger roles like Pan Zi and Dakui.
At this moment, Xu Manke deeply realized that fat people also have their benefits.
