Chapter 29: Take down the male lead
"Can I be more yearning for light only when facing darkness? What a great sentence, it seems that I have no reason to refuse."
Repeating Wang Qing's words, Fukumoto nodded seriously and looked at Director Han next to him and explained, "Although the role of Kaisi needs an actor who is more immature and young in appearance, it is a transformation from a man to a pure and mature one."
"But in terms of personality, I still hope to be a mature and more independent person. I think such a person can better play the transformation process."
"I can't interpret what I mean well in the comics, but now that I'm film-making, I want to pass on the thoughts in my heart to the audience."
"I hate the words of winners and losers, and I want young people to know that only themselves can save themselves."
"I don't think there is any reason for those who can say such words. Mr. Wang Qing is definitely suitable to be the leading actor in my movie."
Whether it is acting, appearance, or even inner thoughts, they are in line with the meaning of the director and screenwriter, so the role of Wang Qing was decided.
Next, the three of them began to discuss the role of Zheng Kaisi, the male lead Wang Qing will play.
Qiu Run did not participate in this discussion because he was just a casting director and was originally responsible for selecting supporting roles and extras.
Today, I was able to watch the male protagonist decide on this because Wang Qing was brought in.
"As for the pay, because you are still a newcomer, we will still pay according to the general share... Of course, if you have good results in the future, there will be corresponding improvements..."
"The main shots of this drama are all taken on the boat, but we haven't found a suitable cruise ship yet..."
"After everything is ready, if there is no problem with the itinerary, the shooting will be over within about two months..."
"The candidate for the heroine has been selected, Zhou Qiuyu, but this drama is not an emotional drama, and the heroine's line is just a buffering function, so you don't have to look forward to any special arrangements... Don't you expect it? Then I just think you don't expect it..."
"Because your character is the male lead, you may need to manage your body shape. By the way, how is your athletic talent? This drama may have some difficult action arrangements. Of course, if you can't do it, you can also choose a martial arts substitute..."
"Of course, we will negotiate with you whether it is promotional or filming problems..."
...
When I came out of the office building, it was getting darker, so Qiu Run still gave him it.
After confirming the role in the morning, they ate lunch boxes together at noon, and they talked until now almost evening.
Because the scene layout has not been perfect, they did not leave for better arrangements for work.
"Mr. Wang Qing, I'll see you in a week."
Standing at the door, Qiu Run said goodbye to Wang Qing with a smile.
Compared to the basic etiquette before, his attitude is now completely different from what he had just done.
I used to be polite, but now I am from the heart.
Qiu Run now has a feeling that he believes that in the near future, the young man in front of him will soon slap the faces of the crowd of people on the red Internet and quickly gain a foothold in this circle.
It's not for anything, just because whether it's acting, personality, or some opportunities, the other party is the best luck he has ever seen in this circle.
Clearly feeling the change in Qiu Run's attitude, Wang Qing felt a little satisfied, smiled and nodded, and raised his hand to say goodbye to him.
Sure enough, it feels good that this ability to be interested in is recognized by others.
As he moved away from the office building, the number of people gradually increased. He put on his mask and hat again, and his earphones were stuffed in his ears. He did not go back to the hotel, and he wandered aimlessly on the street.
No one is paying attention to the abortions coming and going because he is so tightly wrapped. There are people in today's society who dress up like everything, and it is not surprising that they wear sunglasses at night.
Sometimes it’s quite comfortable to walk alone. You don’t have to spend time talking to others. You can think about your own affairs quietly, or you can think about nothing or do nothing.
Although the contract has not been signed yet, the situation about this drama has been initially confirmed and will officially start filming in a week.
During the afternoon negotiation process, they first discussed the issue of pay, but Wang Qing was not short of money and didn't care about it, so he didn't bargain too much in this regard.
They mainly discuss the plot. After all, they are comic-adapted dramas. Where comics can be published, there will be stricter requirements in film and television, so some places need to be modified.
In the original plot, the entire comic is dark, very real and cruel. In order to pass the review and to cater to the audience's tastes, and to prevent the theme of this film from appearing too niche, many plots need to make great changes.
For example, in terms of setting, in order to make the male protagonist look unique, he can compare with those old foxes who have been tempered in society for many years at a young age, and has changed the setting.
Through a certain mental illness, the character Zheng Kaisi is smarter and more flexible in thinking than ordinary people.
The plot rationalizes and makes the audience feel that Zheng Kaisi won the game because of the male protagonist, but because his personality and ability are completely enough to support him in victory.
Because Wang Qing had already had this experience when he left me behind, when he exchanged with Director Han and the original author Fu Ben, he was able to talk freely and keep up with their ideas.
In addition to setting, there is also Wang Qing’s own body management.
When filming different movies, directors will ask the actors to make changes in terms of their bodies or interests.
For example, in the previous drama, because my sister's role in the drama is a character with a strong military value, Director Zheng asked her sister to take some fighting, Taekwondo, yoga and other courses.
Wang Qing himself was also asked by the director not to exercise and to make his body round, which would make his image more like a high school student.
Now, director Han Tao of the Animal World has certainly given Wang Qing some requirements.
For example, let him start exercising. The role of Zheng Kaisi played by Wang Qing is a young man who has just left the society and he definitely has no belly or something.
