Jiang Lingxi and Wei Minmin walked into the meeting hall together.
They arrived neither too early nor too late, and nearly half of the people were already sitting on the large rectangular conference table in the hall.
The main character is naturally Wei Xiao.
Hearing his eldest niece's voice, he looked up and waved, "Here you go, sit here." He patted the seat beside him.
The other actors in the hall, who were either looking at their phones or flipping through scripts, all raised their heads when they heard the sound, wanting to see who could make the director above him say hello.
When I saw the person, I immediately understood.
However, when they saw Jiang Lingxi sitting directly on the left side of Director Wei, several people couldn't help but pursed their lips.
Before this, they had never thought that such an important female number one would fall to Jiang Lingxi, who had barely made it to the second tier in the industry.
He even competed with Xu Qingmei.
But even if they couldn't believe it, seeing Jiang Lingxi take the heroine's makeup photo with their own eyes, and now sitting next to Director Wei, they had to convince themselves to believe it.
Before everyone arrived, Wei Xiao saw the script that Jiang Lingxi had put on the table. He could tell at a glance that it had been carefully read over the past few days. He was immediately pleased and asked: "How do you like the script?"
"Read it roughly through."
Wei Minmin happened to hear this when she put down her phone, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
If this is just a rough read, then her script can only be regarded as swallowed whole.
"Then you should have seen that you have the most scenes and lines, more than twice as many as the male lead. Try to memorize them as much as possible before filming starts. It's probably best if you can memorize them."
Just as Jiang Lingxi nodded, her arm close to Wei Minmin was touched. She turned around and saw Wei Minmin typing for her in the memo on her phone, "Uncle likes to take one shot."
One shot to the end, as the name suggests, means that there will be no lags, forgotten words, or incomplete emotional movements in one shot.
Among them, forgetting the lines is the most common. The only way is to memorize your own lines in advance. It is best to also know the lines of the person opposite you.
Wei Minmin thought of the terrifying amount of lines the heroine had in the script, and silently sympathized with Jiang Lingxi in her heart.
Other directors might ask for more lenient requirements, but this would never happen to her brother-in-law.
Not long after, all the main actors and actresses arrived.
The actor and actress sat across the table from each other.
Although there were no specific seats marked on the tables and chairs, everyone tacitly chose to sit according to their order in the play.
Only the chair opposite Jiang Lingxi was empty.
Wei Xiao glanced at the empty seat and then at Jiang Lingxi, who was there. He raised his hand and told the assistant beside him, "Go and close the door of the conference hall."
As soon as this order came out, more than 90% of the people present were stunned.
After looking at each other for a moment, Sheman asked on behalf of everyone the doubts in their hearts: "This script is being read around, and the male lead is not here either?"
"You will be able to see it when the filming officially starts. Moreover, we will videotape the entire script reading process and show it to him then. If he has any opinions, he will also communicate with me."
Sheman was about to speak but stopped.
Why did she hear that this person had a bigger wrist than Xu Qingmei?
But looking at the famous actors in the industry, there are some who have a higher status than Xu Qingmei, but they are basically in their forties, and there is no one who fits the role of Shen Moqing.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started. First, tell us your opinions on your roles."
Everyone had no choice but to suppress their curiosity for the time being, sit upright for a few minutes, clear their throats, and prepare to speak when it was their turn.
This link not only allows the director to see how well he understands the character, but also allows other actors present to know which character they each play.
It took almost an hour to complete one lap.
Jiang Lingxi silently raised her hand.
Wei Xiao was about to talk about the next session when he saw her movements and asked, "Teacher Jiang, is there anything else you want to add?"
Now everyone's eyes fell on her again.
Jiang Lingxi did have a doubt, "Isn't there Qing Yuan in the starring team?"
"She is in the character actor group," Wei Xiao replied without thinking. After saying this, Jiang Lingxi frowned, "Do you think the role of Qing Yuan can be placed in the starring group?"
"Although she is a palace maid," Jiang Lingxi looked at Wei Xiao with a serious look, "but in Emperor Yuan Zhao's heart, she is different from other palace maids."
A chuckle suddenly came from the meeting hall.
Jiang Lingxi looked at Lin Xuefei, who was sitting in the fourth seat, "Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Teacher Jiang to enter the play so quickly and replace himself as Emperor Yuan Zhao. The division of main actors and role actors must have been decided after careful consideration by Director Wei. Could it be that the actor who plays Qing Yuan has an old relationship with Teacher Jiang? ?”
"I don't know who the actor is who plays Qing Yuan."
"Then you..." Why are you questioning this for no reason?
However, Wei Xiao did not let Lin Xuefei finish her words, and interrupted with a slight cough, "Okay, Ling Xi's opinion will be reserved for now. The next step is to sort out the script from beginning to end." After that, he glanced at Zheng Yiyan. Jiang Lingxi opened the script and said, "Qing Yuan does have a lot of roles. We will discuss it in detail when we sort out the script."
In fact, what he didn't say was that he actually hesitated about whether to classify the role of Qing Yuan into the starring group.
But after thinking about it, Qingyuan was just a palace maid in the final analysis. Even though she was the palace maid of Emperor Yuan Zhao, she had no hidden special identity or skills. In the end, she was classified as a role actor by him.
Jiang Lingxi was the first to ask him this question. At the same time, she also pointed out a very important point that he ignored. The biggest difference between this palace maid and other palace maids was her status in Emperor Yuan Zhao's heart.
At this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
But soon, he no longer cared about this hesitation.
Because along with sorting out the script word for word, the other actors were all echoing "um um ah ah ah". When Jiang Lingxi came, it was, "Director Wei, my opinion is..."
When he first heard this 'mantra', Wei Xiao was very happy, not to mention that Jiang Lingxi's suggestions also gave him a lot of inspiration, and he was very happy to change it.
But as time passed, Wei Xiao heard from the side: "Director Wei, I have an opinion on this paragraph..."
He couldn't help but raise his head and wipe his face silently. It was numb, really numb.
He himself had deleted, deleted, and revised this script several times, so how could he still receive so many opinions?
The key is these opinions...it will really be better than before after following Jiang Lingxi's changes.
Others were equally silent.
After all, the process of sorting out the script, in their opinion, is that the director takes the leading actors to go through the plot twists roughly, and when the filming officially starts, they will break it down in more detail.
This is the first time that an actor has gone through the script with the director.
