Jiang Wen is probably the most famous actor in the future among the actors that Shen Long has come into contact with. He can not only act but also direct plays, and he has a bad temper. When he is a director, he has the final say. As an actor, if he has any opinions on the play If you have to compete with the director, you have the final say, Li Dakang in the entire entertainment industry.
Shen Long is now the most powerful director in the imperial court, but Jiang Wen is not bad now. He is about the same age as Shen Long. He went to university a year earlier than Shen Long. He studied acting in Chinese opera. After graduation, he first went to the Youth Art Theater to act. One year of drama, laid a very solid foundation, and only officially entered the film and television industry after one year.
At first, he was spotted by the director Chen Jialin and played Pu Yi in the film "The Last Empress". For this role, he searched a lot of historical materials about Pu Yi and visited Pu Yi's younger brother Pu Jie, finally successfully shaping this image.
Another year later, Xie Jin was preparing for the filming of "Furong Town". In the play, Hu Yuyin, the female lead, had been confirmed to be played by Liu Xiaoqing, and the choice of the male lead, Qin Shutian, was still pending until Director Xie Jin watched Jiang Wen's set makeup. In the end, it was decided that Jiang Wen would play the role of Qin Shutian. In "Furong Town", Jiang Wen played Qin Shutian, a middle-aged intellectual who was unfairly treated, sincerely and touchingly, and by the way, he also fell in love with Liu Xiaoqing.
In the third film, Jiang Wen entered the crew of "Red Sorghum", and he faced Lao Mouzi, who was the director for the first time. Because of problems such as character creation, he and Zhang Yimou quarreled from beginning to end, and finally produced a masterpiece that caused a sensation in the world. .
This year, he also starred in the Sino-French co-produced film "Tears in a Sedan Chair". The French director of the film is Jacques Dorfman, and the Chinese director is the fourth-generation female director Zhang Nuanxin.
Later, he starred in the third-generation director Ling Zifeng's film "Spring Peach", Xie Fei's "Ben Ming Nian", Tian Zhuangzhuang's film "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying", in which he played Li Lianying, an eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty, and Liu Xiaoqing played Empress Dowager Cixi.
He has been idle recently. After receiving Shen Long's invitation, he was a little hesitant. He couldn't make up his mind whether to go or not. After all, he had been acting in movies before, so he was a little unsure about being asked to act in a TV series. In the end, Sister Liu persuaded him. "Let's go and chat first. She is one of the most popular people in the imperial court. Since she has asked you out, no matter whether you go or not, you should have a better attitude so as not to offend people for no reason."
At this time, his temper was not as hard as it would be in the future. Of course, he knew Shen Long's importance in the imperial court, so he nodded, "Hey, I thought I was doing well enough in the past few years, but I didn't expect to compare with others. What the hell, he seems to be a year younger than me, right? He is almost becoming the pillar of the court."
"He is capable. "I Love My Family", "Feng Shen Bang" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are all quite high-level. If you ask me, if the script is good, you might as well give it a try. There is nothing wrong with making a TV series."
"Well, this is true. He also made it out of his real skills, and he earned his reputation by standing up!" Jiang Wen still admires such a person, "He invited Wuzi to his play last time." Come here as a guest, speaking of it, our family still owes others favors, so I have to go for this!"
His younger brother, Jiang Wu, is also an actor. Shen Long asked him to make a guest appearance when he was filming "I Love My Family". This time, Shen Long asked Jiang Wu to help convey the invitation; When we arrived at the place, we saw a restaurant that looked inconspicuous from the outside, but once we entered, it was a restaurant with a hidden world.
"This place is quiet, suitable for talking about things! But don't worry, I've seen a few of your movies, and the acting is quite good..." After sitting down, Shen Long ordered food, and chatted with Jiang Wen about his past while drinking. Role.
Shen Long had figured out his temper a long time ago. There were praises and criticisms in the comments, but none of them were true. Hearing this, Jiang Wen was so impressed that he immediately gave a thumbs up, "Director Feng, your vision is really like this. There are many people who talked about these plays with me, and no one has ever spoken to me as convincingly as you,
Just go for this one, we have to go for another one! "
After drinking, Jiang Wen continued to sigh, "If you make movies, you will definitely be able to make awesome movies. With your vision and some things reflected in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are not many in China. The director can match that."
"Movies have to be made in a few years. Now making movies doesn't make money, and I don't want to make movies that go abroad to get prizes back. We Chinese make movies, so we still have to show them to Chinese people!" The movie market is not good right now. , Many times the country cannot make money, so many directors set their sights on foreign countries, hoping to rely on awards to sell copyrights, so as to recoup their costs.
"That's a good point!" Shen Long won Jiang Wen's favor, and before Shen Long could speak, he asked, "What kind of film do you plan on asking me to make this time? Can you show me the script?"
"A film that reflects the current trend of going abroad!" Shen Long took out the original work and the script, "It is adapted from this book, and I have already bought the right to adapt it from him."
"It's about the experience of a man from Beijing after he went to the United States. He made a fortune in the United States, but lost a lot of precious things; now that everyone thinks too much about foreign countries, I think it is necessary for everyone to see the real situation. what America is like."
"As for why I chose you, on the one hand, you have good acting skills, and you are from the old capital city, so you can act like the people in the capital; secondly, you have a lot of backbone, and you won't play with foreign actors. I can't let go!"
"This story is quite interesting. I'll go back and read the script. I'll get back to you within three days. If there's nothing wrong with the script, we'll settle the matter!" Jiang Wen went back with the script.
In less than three days, he called Shen Long the next afternoon and agreed to the cooperation. With his joining, other supporting roles would be much easier. Ah Chun let Wang Ji play, Guo Yan On the one hand, the original actor Yan Xiaopin is still studying with her in the United States and has not come back, and on the other hand, Shen Long will feel awkward if he still uses her words, after all, he is too familiar with this face.
As for another important supporting role, American Boss David, Shen Long just wanted to play Da Shan, who learned cross talk with Jiang Kun, but unfortunately he did not perform well in the audition, so Shen Long had to give up and get the original actor Ke Zhiling After digging it out, a few main characters are enough.
Three times, five times and two divisions gathered enough manpower, and helped them go abroad in the name of the imperial court. Shen Long took a large group of people to the United States by plane, and Xicheng rushed to the United States with Heizi and Feng Qing to make preparations.
