Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

The next day, Cao Gong was still filming in the crew, and he met his old friend.

Zhang Yi, his good friend.

"Why are you here?" Cao Gong was slightly surprised to see his friend coming.

"Isn't the movie about to start shooting? How come you still have time to come?" This is what Cao Gong was most surprised about.

Because Zhang Yi and Yang Mi's collaboration "The Journey Home" is about to start shooting.

This movie is set in a foreign country, and it is also adapted from the real event of the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Libya.

But the shooting location was also considered that foreign countries were unsafe due to illness, so the shooting chose to build a photography scene in Ningxia, China.

Otherwise, in order to shoot this movie abroad, it would be irresponsible for the safety of the actors.

"Well, it's about to start filming. There's about half a month left, and it will start filming on April."

"But before the filming starts, I've taken on a drama, and the producer said he wants to invite you."

"We'll come over to visit you and talk about this matter."

Zhang Yi was direct with Cao Gong, because he knew Cao Gong was busy.

Since he was busy, there was no need to beat around the bush, just be direct.

The producer next to Zhang Yi, a Cao Gong person, a producer of 271

Dai Ying, senior vice president of 271, is also the chief producer of 271 Misty Theater.

Last year's "The Silent Truth" was also broadcast on 271's Misty Theater in 2004, and the producer was also Dai Ying.

Cao Gong and Dai Ying have known each other for a long time. Zhao Liying's "Who is the Murderer" and "Wind Blowing Half Summer" were all produced by her. Do you think Cao Gong didn't know her?

When Cao Gong was still a member of the 271 limited group, he knew Dai Ying.

"This is the script. I think, Mr. Cao, you are very suitable for the role of An Xin."

This name made Cao Gong feel very familiar.

When he saw the title of the play, Cao Gong remembered it, Kuang Biao.

The king of dramas in 2023, and it is also the most popular TV series.

This drama made all the supporting roles except Zhang Yi popular, except Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi should be the biggest contributor to this drama, but after this drama became popular, the director was unwilling to mention Zhang Yi, and even said that Zhang Yi was a drama tyrant.

As for why, Cao didn't know.

But when he saw this script and invited him, Cao Gong was very surprised: "Ask me to play?"

"I don't have time." This is not a joke, he really doesn't have time.

Just after he finished talking about his schedule for this year, the drama king came to him.

"All the schedules are full?" Producer Dai Ying was very surprised. No way.

"Yes, it's really full." Cao Gong didn't say much and asked his agent to take out his schedule.

Dai Ying, Zhang Yi, and the screenwriter and director looked at his schedule together.

"Oh my god, you are going to...Six movies? "Zhang Yi was shocked when he saw this.

"Yes and no, "Changjin Lake" was a movie that was released in October last year and was released in April this year, and I didn't have many scenes, I was just an important supporting actor."

"Then the two movies in November will also be released in March next year."

"Overall, there are four movies this year, so there is no schedule at all. ”

This TV series is a good one, but it is not suitable for Cao Gong to play.

As for why he was chosen to play, Cao Gong also knew the reason, a total of three points.

The first point: Cao Gong's acting skills are good. Even if he is only 25 years old, he can easily play the role of 35, 45, or even 65 years old. Because Cao Gong does not have a sense of youth, he is more mature, so there is naturally no sense of disobedience; otherwise, if you find other people of the same age to play, it is simply impossible.

There is only one young actor like Cao Gong who does not care about the sense of youth.

Other young actors can only play idol dramas in order to maintain their youth.

Cao Gong has already embarked on the path of a rough man.

The second point is that Cao Gong is very popular. With him, this drama will not be afraid of lack of attention.

Cao Gong's current popularity can be said to be absolute in the domestic entertainment industry The top star.

Especially, he is very capable and can play a good role in a drama, which is why all major film companies like him.

Third, maintain the relationship with Cao Gong. This richest man's network must be maintained.

271 is not as rich as Tencent, so it is a good thing for them to maintain the relationship with Cao Gong.

This is also why the good works invested by 271 in recent years were handed to Cao Gong as soon as possible. Whether Cao Gong will play or not is another matter, but at least give him the script and let Cao Gong arrange it for his confidante, and then 271 will arrange it according to personal relationships.

As long as they hold on to this thigh, they can last for a long time.

What's more, Cao Gong is also famous for being easy to talk to, which is everyone's favorite.

"Then we will wait for you in this TV series. We will shoot it when you have a schedule next year."

"The role of An Xin is left to you. "Dai Ying didn't say anything more and explained directly.

Cao Gong doesn't have a schedule, right? Okay, then I'll wait for you. We'll shoot when you have a schedule.

What Cao Gong didn't expect was that Dai Ying deliberately postponed the filming in order to let him act?

"No, I'm not suitable either." This made him laugh and cry.

He has seen this TV series. Let him play An Xin? It's really not suitable.

"I think Zhang Yi is more suitable for the role of An Xin." Cao Gong, who had already read the script, hurriedly said: "I have acted in gangster movies, and I am a young actor. It is definitely not okay for me to play such a righteous policeman."

"But Zhang Yi has a better image. The role of An Xin is tailor-made for him."

"You let him play Gao Qiqiang,It's just a mess, let him play An Xin most suitable. "

After reading the script, Cao Gong immediately explained.

At the same time, he also thought that this TV series was really a mess from the beginning, saying that Yang Yang and Zhang Yi were cooperating, but in the end Yang Yang refused to play.

Finally, Zhang Songwen joined in, and Zhang Yi was replaced to play An Xin. (To read the violent novel, go to Fly Novel Network!)

"Okay, then Zhang Yi will play An Xin, and you will play Gao Qiqiang."

"You happened to play the gangster boss in "The Legend of the Evil", so it's also very suitable for you to play Gao Qiqiang."

Dai Ying smiled and let Cao Gong play Gao Qiqiang.

Cao Gong laughed even more, saying: "This is not suitable, I am 25 years old, even if I am more mature, I can play the role of 35 years old, but wouldn't it be too risky to play Gao Qiqiang. ”

“At the beginning of the TV series, Gao Qiqiang had not yet become a big boss, that is, when he was still a fishmonger. I can play Gao Qiqiang during this period.”

“Even in the middle period, when Gao Qiqiang started to mix with society, I can play this part.”

“But I am not suitable for the later part when he is older. The age span is too large.”

“The key is that by the end of 897, the stepson has grown up.” Cao Gong was very grateful that they asked him to play the role.

But he felt that his age was not suitable for this role.

Cao Gong still had this self-awareness. After all, age is a flaw.

However, Zhang Yi smiled and said, “In the early stage, he was 31 years old, that is, a fishmonger. You must play this well.”

“In the later stage, he became the general manager of the Construction Group. At this time, he was 37 years old. You are also suitable. ”

Indeed, what Zhang Yi said is right, Cao Gong can perfectly adapt to Gao Qiqiang in these two periods.

It’s just that in this later period, Gao Qiqiang, who became the chairman of Qiangsheng Group, was already 52 years old.

Letting 25-year-old Cao Gong jump 27 years old to play 52-year-old Gao Qiqiang? Crazy.[]

“Crossing the 27-year-old age range to play 52-year-old Gao Qiqiang, don’t you want to challenge yourself? ”

Friends are friends, and we understand friends’ thoughts.

Indeed, Gao Qiqiang at the age of 31 and 37 can perfectly control the mature image of Cao Gong now. For him, it is easy and no problem at all.

But what about Gao Qiqiang at the age of 52? This is not what he can play at this time.

Since it is not something he can play perfectly at his age, why not challenge it?

As an actor, if you always play roles that are suitable for your age, there will be no progress.

Only by challenging roles that do not suit you and playing the roles that do not suit you well can you reflect your progress and show your acting skills.

Isn’t that what actors do? You have to challenge those difficult roles.

“Shh~” Cao Gong laughed at this, but he did not deny that Zhang Yi convinced him.
