It is worth explaining that the reason why Luo Xun chose Kong Sheng as the director of "Blood Romance" was not just because of his potential to become a first-line director in the TV industry in the future——

That's too natural.

You must know that different directors have different types of expertise. Even first-line directors have subjects that they are not good at. He recommended Kong Sheng to be the director of this drama because he was sure that he could handle the drama theme of "Blood Romance".

The reason is also very simple.

Two thousand and four years in the previous life.

Kong Sheng filmed a Beijing-style drama "Qianmen Louzi Jiuzhangjiu". Kong Sheng, who was born in Shandong, actually filmed the customs and people of Yanjing very realistically. This was the decisive factor for Luo Xun to let Kong Shuang direct "Blood Romance" The reason is, after all, in this drama, most of the important characters are from Yanjing, and many of the backgrounds of the story are also set in old Yanjing. Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and others are famous recalcitrants in Yanjing city. It is impossible to film that. If it were too Beijing-flavored, this drama would be overshadowed!

As for Hou Hongliang...

Luo Xun did not expect that Hou Hongliang had already started cooperating with Kong Sheng before Shanying was established, and also as a director. In Luo Xun's impression, the two of them working together would definitely be more powerful than one plus one. , this can be seen from the two of them collaborating on a series of hit dramas in the future.

"Right."

Luo Xun suddenly remembered.

In his previous life, Wang Ai collaborated with Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng on "Nirvana in Fire". Looking at it this way, he actually created the prototype of a Shanying team by accident. After all, Wang Ai was arranged to play in "Blood Romance" The second female lead is Gao Yue.

Mountain shadow...

From "Crossing Guandong" and "Wenzhou Family" to "Battle in Changsha", "All Quiet in Peking" and "Parental Love", and even the subsequent popular "The Pretender", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Ode to Joy" and other series works, this chariot can be said to be invincible. Luo Xun is looking forward to what kind of sparks the combination of Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang can create with a classic drama like "Blood Romance"!

Enter Chen Ran's office.

Sure enough, Luo Xun quickly persuaded Chen Ran to let Hou Hongliang serve as the co-director of "Blood Romance". Chen Ran was also helpless: "Both the boss and I are taking risks for you. Both Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang are both." They are little-known new directors. Apart from the fact that they have made major dramas and won the Feitian Award, I don’t see that they have any other value that deserves your strong recommendation.”

"Don't worry."

Luo Xun said seriously: "This is my first time to play the lead male role. I value the success or failure of this drama more than anyone else. The level of the two of them will definitely not let you down."

Luo Xun wants to give Chen Ran confidence.

After all, the company is not incapable of helping Luo find a quasi-first-line director to shoot "Blood Romance". Who doesn't know in the industry that using a new director involves a lot of risks, and using a new director is a tightrope walk. It was a bold decision.

"Okay."

Chen Ran said: "Let's not talk about the director first. Let's talk about the characters. Zhong Yuemin's age span is very big. You have to play from a young boy who has not graduated to his middle age. This has to be said to be a big challenge. challenge……"

"Do you still know how to perform?"

"You may not believe it when I tell you. I attended a lot of acting classes when I was in college, so I naturally know something about it. Don't worry about whether I understand it or not. Tell me what you think."

Luo Xun smiled: "First of all, it's the image."

Different age groups require different images to support them. Du Liang’s Zhong Yuemin, who complained about Liu Ye in his previous life, is not qualified. One of his arguments is that Liu Ye’s hairstyle and makeup have not changed: “I need to do a good job in image design at every stage before filming starts. ”

Chen Ran nodded.

Luo Xun added: "Zhong Yuemin is a recalcitrant, a well-known recalcitrant in Yanjing City. He has friends from all over the world and appears to be arrogant, but in fact he is not a gangster. He just likes to pretend to be bad. And his personality changes are closely related to His life experiences are related to each other. During his career as a stubborn leader in Yanjing City, he was unruly and unruly. Later, he went out to work as an educated youth and led a large group of people out to beg for food. His temper began to calm down. Later, when he became a soldier, he began to become resolute and courageous. Lian Ning Even the king of killers like Wei is obedient to him..."

Zhong Yuemin has very rich experience.

As the stubborn leader of Yanjing City, he gathered many fans around him. Later, he jumped in the queue to go to the countryside and took the educated youth out to beg for food. Through connections, he joined the ace army. He was able to control a group of iron-blooded soldiers and obey orders, and changed his career. Later, he could enjoy himself selling pancakes. He became an important leader of a state-owned enterprise and lived a life of extravagance. Later, he went to a prison cell and became the leader of the prison cell...

He enjoys life.

Even in the cell, he felt that this was a special experience on the road, and these different experiences shaped his character more deeply.

certainly.

Different women in his life also had a great influence on him. Needless to say, Zhou Xiaobai, Qin Ling, and Gao Yue. When he was most romantic, Zhong Yuemin leaned on the red and green trees. At the most, he had three or four girlfriends at the same time. From a singer to a female company secretary, you can never find a man with a more exciting life than him.

"Break it up and put it back together."

Chen Ran said with a smile: "This role will completely remove the shadows of all your past roles. Only by truly becoming Zhong Yuemin can you impress the audience. Your rebellious side, your free and easy loyalty side, your romantic side, every It’s not easy to shape both sides. If you’re not careful, you’ll become a heartless person. If you’re not careful, you will become heartless.”

"It seems that you really know something."

Luo Xun teased. He has been studying the plot of "Blood Romance" repeatedly recently and began to understand why Du Liang said in his previous life that Liu Ye played Zhong Yuemin as a gangster.

That is a balance.

Judging from his appearance, Zhong Yuemin does have a gangster side. He is cynical, but in essence, Zhong Yuemin is not bad or mixed. He is just a microcosm of the stubborn people of that era. In fact, Zhong Yuemin's group of stubborn people will become big figures at the top of China in the future, and Li Yuanchao and others are the best among them.

Their restlessness.

It is the restlessness of the times.

The difficulty of this role is that it is difficult for Luo Xun to accurately grasp the pulse of that era. The story begins when the world's thoughts are turbulent, and Luo Xun has not experienced that fanatical era.

How to solve it?

Last time, in order to film "Kung Fu", I watched a lot of Hong Kong police and gangster movies. This time, in order to film "Blood Romance", Luo Xun decided to read a lot of books, from history to novels, to learn more about the stories of that era, which may help Luo Xun understand the inner thoughts of the characters.
