Chapter 209 As long as you come, you can choose any role
"Teacher Shen, it's not easy to find your phone number! Did you change your number?" Sun Honglei said with a heavy nasal tone.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Too many people have been looking for me to film recently, but the scripts are too similar. I can't stand it. I can't stand it!"
“I understand!” Sun Honglei said politely, “So, the director knew that I had a good relationship with Yi Xin, so he went through so much trouble to find you!”
"Teacher Shen, this is it. The play "Undercover" is a spy drama. I know that you have been focusing on the big screen recently, but this play is really good..."
Shen Lang didn't care about that. He asked directly, "What role do you want me to play in the play?"
"There are four roles. Let me tell you about them in detail!"
ten minutes later……
Shen Lang sighed.
The leading actor is Sun Honglei, is there any need to choose among the four roles?
So they are all villains, right?
However, "The Disguiser" is a pinnacle of spy war dramas.
No matter what, it's okay to join the group and become familiar with them.
What's more, the four characters mentioned by Sun Honglei are the four villains who play opposite the protagonists in the play.
Each of these four people has a distinct image. If Shen Lang wants to play the role well and show the flavor, it will undoubtedly be a challenge.
First, Li Ya, a spy who has been lurking in Yan'an for a long time, is a primary school science teacher, but he is actually a student of the Qingpu Special Training Class Action Class. He is the protagonist Yu Zecheng's biggest enemy in the Military Control Commission Tianjin Station.
The second character is Ma Kui, Li Ya's predecessor, the captain of the action team of the Military Control Commission Tianjin Station. He is bloodthirsty, ruthless, and a tough guy. When he was the captain of the action team at Tianjin Station, he was determined to seek the position of deputy station chief of Tianjin Station, and repeatedly fought openly and secretly with his colleague Lu Qiaoshan, the director of the Intelligence Department of Tianjin Station.
Shen Lang doesn't like this role very much. This kind of brainless character with big pectoral muscles obviously doesn't fit Shen Lang's temperament.
Even if I'm acting, I, Shen Lang, would rather play the kind of villain who is sinister and sinister, rather than a brainless villain.
The third is Luqiao Mountain.
This role is quite interesting.
He is good at fighting in official circles, has a sinister and cunning character, is good at scheming, and is completely obsessed with power. He covets the position of deputy station chief of Tianjin Station. Later, because he was kicked out of the Military Control Commission, he held a grudge and relied on Zheng Jieming, a big backer, to become arrogant and domineering and would not listen to advice.
Not only did he investigate and prosecute more than a dozen of Ma Hansan's men in Peiping, he also spread the word that he would deal with Stationmaster Wu. Later, he was assassinated by Yu Zecheng because of his repeated and brutal suppression of young student demonstrations.
The last role is the one that Shen Lang is most excited about.
Xie Ruolin, the husband of the second female character Mu Wanqiu, was a former enemy intelligence officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Party Communications Bureau. He has keen observation skills, strong execution ability, is good at taking shortcuts, and specializes in reselling various intelligence as a means of making money.
He criticized the officials of the Nationalist Government, had no faith, sneered at both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, had a strong interest in getting rich, was a typical realist, and tried to win over Yu Zecheng for intelligence transactions many times. In the end, he fell into the intelligence transaction trap of Yu Zecheng and Liao Sanmin and was assassinated.
This role was played by Cao Bingkun in another time and space.
Cao Bingkun became famous because of this role. His stuttering in the film made all the audience want to laugh, but his shamelessness and lack of faith were really brought to life by Cao Bingkun.
To act, you really don’t have to be the leading actor.
That’s right, the leading actor gets more money and more screen time.
But who asked me to have such a good system?
Even though he had gone through all the twists and turns on the mountain road, he still couldn't escape the fate of playing the villain.
So, how to make use of limited shots, show the essence of the performance, and carve out a place for yourself in the entertainment industry - this is a science.
After thinking for a while, Sun Honglei was still waiting for his news on the other end of the phone.
Shen Lang said: "Teacher Sun, I just heard you briefly talk about the play. I am quite interested in this play."
Sun Honglei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Teacher Shen, oh, it's not easy. The director and I have been nervous!" Of course he was nervous. Although Shen Lang has always played villains, he is now famous. The performance conditions set by Jialan Studio for him are also the highest price for villain supporting roles in China, and even in the Chinese-speaking region.
And these conditions are not just about pay.
Gu Jialan directly helped Shen Lang to block those stereotyped characters and meaningless scripts.
This was someone Sun Honglei found through Zhang Yixin. If it was someone else, Gu Jialan would have to identify him.
"By the way, Mr. Shen, there is another role, the head of the Military Control Commission Tianjin Station, Wu Jingzhong. However, because your age is too high, the director thinks you..."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Lang suddenly interrupted him: "Who are you talking about?"
"Wu Jingzhong, a veteran spy."
Shen Lang realized it!
Li Ya, Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan, Xie Ruolin, all of you, get back off.
In front of the character Wu Jingzhong, these characters are all little Karami.
"I want to play Wu Jingzhong!"
"Huh?" Sun Honglei asked in surprise, "But Wu Jingzhong is too old. According to the setting, he was a figure from the Northern Expedition National Revolutionary Army and the Renaissance Society period."
"I can put on makeup and audition!" With Teacher Li Qiu here, why would I, Shen Lang, worry about this? What a joke.
"But, but Wu Jingzhong's hairline has receded due to his age!"
"I can shave my head!"
"..."
Many people may be wondering why Shen Lang insisted on playing this role?
Because, according to his understanding of "Live", this drama actually has two main plot lines.
One light and one dark.
The obvious character is the protagonist Yu Zecheng, and the hidden character is the stationmaster Wu Jingzhong.
Although it was not explained in the TV series, Shen Lang felt after watching the TV series in another time and space that Wu Jingzhong was actually a "spy" lurking in the enemy camp.
Also, even if Shen Lang’s guess is wrong.
Wu Jingzhong is a very interesting person. When he was young, he was full of passion and devoted himself to the country. When he was old, he understood the world and realized that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
This character is a person with emotions, not just a character.
After seeing this person, the audience can put him into their own lives.
For example, in the workplace, no matter which gang or faction you belong to, if you don’t harm me, there is no need for me to be hard on you. See through things but don’t do anything extreme. Have yourself in mind, and then treat the other person as your own.
It's rare to be ignorant!
Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan, and Li Ya were all dead, and the process of elimination revealed who the undercover agent was. But Old Wu still didn't touch Yu Zecheng, and even took him to Wanwan.
This is the most interesting part of the whole play.
Moreover, the gloomy look he gave Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan at the military mediation press conference was chilling.
Shen Lang likes this role.
Sun Honglei was very surprised that the other party chose this role. He said to Shen Lang: "Teacher Shen, let me ask the director for his opinion."
Who would have thought that a moment later, Jiang Wei, the director of the play "The Hidden" took the phone and said, "Teacher Shen, as long as you can come, Wu Jingzhong is yours!"
