Chapter 30 he must write

At the beginning of "The Story of the Editorial Department", there was only one candidate for Li Dongbao in my mind, Ge You.After the script came out, it was supposed to be a job as a screenwriter, but the then director Jin Yan planned to find Li Dongbao from the Department of Military Art and Performance. After hearing the news, my first reaction was that he was looking for a handsome young man, at least he was a gentleman. .This has nothing to do with Li Dongbao in our writing. I know no one is more suitable for this character than Ge You.I found the director of the center, Zheng Xiaolong. On the one hand, I hope that the director Zhao Baogang, who is preparing for "The Roots of the Imperial City", can co-direct with Jin Yan, because Baogang is the person who understands our creative intentions best, and he also knows that the characters in this play should be What kind of face.On the one hand, I strongly advocate asking Ge You to play Li Dongbao.Xiaolong didn't even hit him and said, "It must be done this way: go to Ge You."

At that time, I was not familiar with Ge You, either I was not familiar with him or I didn’t know him at all. It was just because I saw his performance in the film that I felt refreshed and new, and I had known him for a long time.I called Wang Shuo to find Ge You together. Although Wang Shuo was not familiar with him, he had met him a few times after all.At that time, Wang Shuo was really easy to talk to, so he asked to lift his ass and went. Now, if it wasn't for a play he personally directed, it would be unimaginable to ask him to come to the door to invite actors. It was one afternoon, we found the building where Ge You lived according to Wang Shuo's vague memory, only to find that it was next door to the building where I used to live.Because I don't know the specific house number, and I don't have Ge You's phone number.After inquiring in the building several times, I found the unit where he lived.Knock, no.Knocking on the door again, a lady walked out from the next unit, Ge You's wife's sister-in-law.After explaining the purpose of coming, my sister-in-law told us that Ge You was out and probably will be back soon.

We went back downstairs and sat on my motorcycle and waited. It started to rain lightly. We waited for about an hour or two. Wang Shuo pointed to a figure walking in the distance and said: Here we come. That was the first time I met real Ge You.Wearing a brown windbreaker and a hat, he looks very thin, so the windbreaker looks particularly fat, and he kicks and grunts when he walks. I wanted to laugh when I saw Ge You, and I couldn't wait to stride up to meet him.He knew Wang Shuo, and Wang Shuo introduced me to him. Ge You and Li looked similar, not unenthusiastic, but very cautious, whether you laughed or not, he seemed at a loss for what to do.Wang Shuo was not a person with a pale face in a hurry, so he didn't say much.I was anxious to explain why I came, so he asked us to wait a while and bought a box of "Jinqiao" cigarettes in the small shop downstairs.

Let's go upstairs together.From waiting for the elevator to taking the elevator to the 12th floor, walking through the long corridor, and coming to Ge You's house to sit down, I have already outlined my intentions in one breath.After that, Ge You showed contradictory mood. He said: I have promised Zhang Xiaomin to appear in her "Big Clash". It just happened to conflict with your time. I asked him: What role did you play in that film? He said: It is to play a manager of a hotel, a small supporting role. I said: Then we ask you to play the leading role, number one character in this play.

The script is written after you. He thought for a while and said: Can the two dramas be coordinated and performed in both. I said: This is not possible, every day there is your scene, once you leave, the whole crew will have to lie down. He was really embarrassed and said: Or just forget it.I promised Zhang Xiaomin first, and if I didn't, I would offend him.I also know that your play is interesting. We are not familiar with each other when we meet for the first time. I know Wang Shuo, so the writing must be right.But you can't offend your friends because of the last scene. I quickly said: I am not familiar with you, so I am not a friend, but Wang Shuo must be your friend.If you offend Zhang Xiaomin in our play, aren't you afraid of offending these friends by taking part in her play?

He hurriedly said: I don't want to offend either. I said: That's easy to handle.Anyway, you are offending your friends, so you should weigh the pros and cons, whichever is the lesser of two evils. In Zhang Xiaomin's play, you offended us, but you only played a supporting role; in our play, you offended Zhang Xiaomin, but you played an absolute protagonist, and you guaranteed that the play would explode as soon as it came out. Take your own ideas, we are waiting for your letter. Afterwards, Zheng Xiaolong joked: If he doesn't appear in our show, we will block him. At that time, it was not like now, there were film and television companies everywhere.At that time, the "Beijing Television Art Center" raised its arms and the whole country responded.

For a long time after "The Story of the Editorial Department" was broadcast, the masses affectionately called Ge You "Dongbao" when they saw Ge You, just like my daughter always called Zhao Wei "Little Swallow".Ge You also won the "Golden Eagle Award" Best Actor Award voted by the audience for his wonderful performance in this drama. I remember that when we were filming in New York, there was a scene shot at Ai Weiwei's home, when "Story from the Editorial Department" was popular among Chinese in New York.Weiwei also has a set there, Jiang Wen found out, took it out to watch between filming, when it was his turn to shoot, he still refused to let go, he said: If you let me finish watching, I will panic.

After watching one episode, Jiang Wen said to me: The role of Li Dongbao must belong to Master Ge.I want to be a judge. When judging actors for this award, there is only one condition, which is to see whether the actor's performance of this role is irreplaceable by others.What is "best"? "Best" is none other than him.
