After roughly reading the script, Su Ze finally understood why he said he liked a spoon when he first met Mian Sheng.
The rhythm of eating sand properly.
Not only that, this drama is actually a tribute drama for the National Radio and Television to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party?
Awesome!
No wonder they can gather so many good actors, and any one of them will be very popular, at least in the field of TV dramas.
The first job played by Ma Defu, played by the protagonist, when he entered the agency was to persuade the villagers who responded to the immigration plan but fled back one by one to go back.
Following his perspective, an unimaginable face of poverty is displayed in front of the audience, especially for urban people, which is simply unimaginable.
In a refugee's home, the three brothers only had one pair of pants in total, and whoever went out had something to wear!
Because of the desolate location, almost none of the villagers have regular jobs. Apart from herding sheep and feeding chickens, they stay at home waiting for government relief funds.
Eating loess and sand is commonplace, and the best food is steamed buns and potatoes.
Is there meat, you ask?
Yes, the village director took the lead in committing a crime and secretly ate the guinea fowl distributed by the government for poverty alleviation!
Meat is not necessarily served once a year. Since the government takes the initiative to send chickens, it doesn't care whether it helps the poor or not.
What impressed Su Ze the most was that Shui Hua, played by Reyza, was sold by his biological father to someone else for the price of a water cellar, a donkey, two sheep and two cages of chickens.
Wait, didn’t you say that women’s rights have risen?
What the hell is this!
Su Ze was amazed after just watching it once. It seems unreasonable now, but it was commonplace in the northwest in the 1990s.
Li Laoshuan, who sold his daughter, actually became a rich man in the village by relying on the so-called dowry?
I have to say that this is also a group drama, which is similar to The Silent Truth. Ma Defu looks like the protagonist, but in fact he is just a go-between character, taking the audience to experience the hardships of the Northwest.
"This book?" Su Ze touched the script with his hand. To be fair, the plot was a bit bland and far less fascinating than previous works. After all, it was the main theme and the subject matter was placed here.
The story is quite touching, and the characters are real and fleshed out, but...
Do audiences like to watch it now?
Are there too many so-called gift films like this?
Is there a market for Yikusitian now?
For the first time, Su Ze was a little unsure!
"It all depends on the acting skills." He stood up and came to the window. The subject matter was not flattering and the story was bland. The only way to make up for the shortcomings was through the outstanding acting skills of the actors.
Opening the cast list, I glanced at the names one by one: Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni, Huang Jue, Yao Chen, Guo Jingfei, Tao Hong, Bai Yu, Wang Kai, Reyza, You Yong...
I have to say that they are all acting schools, they all have representative works, and they all have good reputations among the audience.
If we were from Kong Xue's point of view, there is a high probability that he would accept it. After all, it is the first time for Noon Sunshine to work together, and director Kong Sheng takes the initiative to come to the door. This is not a small honor.
What's more, it is a century-old gift film, a key work hand-picked by ****, and you will know how heavy it is when you see so many big names gathered together.
These are not the decisive factors. Su Ze thought of director Kong Sheng's words: You are still young, why don't you get out of your comfort zone?
Why not try more and try new roles?
What are you afraid of when you are young?
"Take it!" Su Ze made up his mind in an instant. He was just idle. He was a little tired of suspense reasoning. It's not like he had eaten sand in the Northwest before, so he was afraid of balls!
After walking out of the conference room and finding the two visitors, Kong Sheng saw Su Ze's state and couldn't help but smile: "Happy cooperation?"
"Happy cooperation!" Su Ze took the initiative to extend his hand and said modestly: "Please take care of me, director, in the future!"
"Okay!" Kong Sheng laughed loudly, and his anxious heart finally fell to the ground. He joked that if he ran over in person and couldn't make it happen, where would he put his face?
I patted Su Ze hard on the shoulder, and being able to make the decision for the first time was a sign of respect for myself, and I, Lao Kong, remembered this sentiment.
"It's done!" Kong Xue also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this kid would do something wrong. It was the noon sun.
Although I have worked with many high-quality directors and teams, such as 500 Wang Wei's Arc Light Alliance, such as director Xin Yukun and his team, these people started late after all and are not comparable to Noon Sunshine.
Not to mention anything else, the subject matter alone is far behind. The reason why I hope Su Ze can cooperate is that utilitarianism is only one aspect. The main thing is to break through the drama. You can't just play a detective all your life, right?
Kong Sheng is worthy of being a seasoned actor, and he knows very well that Su Ze is not a law-abiding character, at least he must be very ambitious when it comes to acting.
There are many actors like this, and their life can be simpler, but they are very serious about their performances and roles, and they must not be wronged.
It's easy to work with them. If you have a good script, good characters, and a good director, nothing else matters.
Su Ze must be this kind of person, and Kong Sheng is also interested in this. Acting is only one aspect, and more is the ratings. After all, Su Ze is the most beautiful kid this year, and the two dramas have directly made him a god.
As long as you are willing to join, no matter if you are the protagonist or not, you don’t need too much publicity. What about the suspense actor’s first transformation into a period drama...what about Su Ze’s Noon Sunshine teaming up...what about Golden Eagle TV Emperor joining the century-old gift giant...
It can set off the whole crowd casually!
After all, Su Ze is so popular right now, and every move he makes attracts attention. Kong Sheng is interested in this, otherwise he would not come all the way to visit.
I don’t want to lose face!
Fortunately, everyone is happy. Kanazawa and Noon Sunshine have joined forces to completely open up satellite TV channels and expand their commercial territory to major TV stations.
Just a reminder to iQiyi: I am welcome!
I have to say that I am very excited just thinking about it. In the field of domestic TV dramas, Suze and Noon Sunshine are indeed the king!
There are more deeper reasons. For example, this is a century-old gift film, and it will be a great addition to the film once it is filmed, especially for a young actor like Su Ze.
Another example is to break through the drama. The suspense reasoning cannot be finished, but there is not much challenge. Do you really want to wait until the audience gets tired of watching it before changing?
too late!
Young actors are most afraid of being stereotyped, especially Su Ze, who is so ambitious that he can't just sit back and wait for death.
Period dramas may seem outdated, but in fact there is a huge market space. After all, there are now 400 million elderly people and more than 300 million middle-aged people, which is the mainstream of society.
There are no small roles, only small actors. The same applies to TV dramas. There is no niche market, only small scripts and bad directors.
Don't look at the various gibberings from the audience, why they don't watch this, and that one is too low, I really need to film it well...
So delicious!
Lang Youqing was interested in concubine, so he quickly finalized the contract and started filming a week later, targeting the Gobi Desert in the northwest.
The external quotation was 10 million, but it was actually 6 million. Two million was for the noon sunshine, and two million was for the centenary gift. It was the same for all the actors, not just Su Ze.
Nothing wrong!
After the entertainment was over and Kong Sheng was sent away, Su Ze took a deep breath and finally didn't have to be idle anymore.
I am very confident in the role of Ma Defu. After all, this is not my first time to go to the Northwest. I have been baptized with a spoon, and I have a deep understanding of both the environment and the characters.
