Chapter 28 Casting Criteria

The original "Love in Lushan" starred Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin, both from Shanghai Film Studio.
In fact, the first person to be booked was not Zhang Yu, but another actress, but this person was caught by the police for sleeping with a foreigner in a foreign-related hotel.
Both of them are in their early 20s, their acting skills can only be said to be passable, and they have the unique stylized style of this era, but they are young and beautiful, and they have starred in a good movie and became an instant hit.
Zhang Yu also acted in "Bashan Night Rain", "Small Street", etc., and became extremely popular. She won the Golden Rooster Award, Hundred Flowers Award, and Government Award in one year, and achieved a Grand Slam at a young age.
Then he left the country.
There was a very funny phenomenon at that time. Whoever was awarded the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress would go abroad. It was like an overseas agency. Xie Jin was very angry and said: "Don't give awards to young actresses. They won the big award so early."
, they will go abroad after winning the prize..."
"When we choose actors, we usually look at the ones in the factory first. The factory doesn't look for them from outside."
When Wang Haowei mentioned this topic, he suddenly sighed: "To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about those girls even when I was sleeping these days. Regardless of Liu Xiaoqing, Li Xiuming, or that little Cai Ming, none of them are suitable.
It’s quite difficult!”
"Then what do you think the heroine should be like?" Chen Qi asked.
“The first thing is to be pure, the second thing is to be foreign!
You can't find a gaudy person to play the role, you must have a girl's sense of coquettishness.
Moreover, she is an overseas Chinese in the United States, so she is definitely different from us, so we have to show this difference. From makeup, hairstyle, clothing, every move, etc., we must be careful and careful, but it cannot be too exaggerated."
"While keeping a distance from ordinary people, we can't be out of reach?" Chen Qi said.
"Oh, right!"
Wang Haowei knocked on the table. It was a pleasure chatting with this guy. He was very clear.
"I heard that actors have to experience life before filming. How do you experience this foreign style?"
"Try to arrange it as much as possible, such as staying in an overseas Chinese hotel for a week and observe the speech and behavior of those real overseas Chinese."
"Such heavy bleeding?"
"This is tradition! It's normal."
Wang Haowei didn't take it seriously and asked: "Xiao Chen, can you tell me your point of view?"
"I agree with you about the heroine. As for the hero, I think it's best to be more handsome."
"Beautiful?"
The king was very happy and said: "Why do you use handsome to describe it? Why not handsome?"
"The male protagonist has a shy personality and is relatively passive in this relationship. He blushes easily and is shy, so he cannot be a tough guy like Ken Takakura who is very masculine. He can be softer and more beautiful."
"Be pretty..."
Wang Haowei thoughtfully wrote something in his notebook and said, "Is there anything else?"
"The time span spans five years. At the beginning, the male and female protagonists are young and ignorant. What happens five years later? They can't still be young and ignorant, right? I think there should be some changes in the appearance, a little more mature, and preferably a more mature character.
.”
"Well, this is good, this is good!"
"The hero's sister is a traditional woman. I don't have any special ideas. There should be many actors like this."
The two chatted for a long time. Wang Haowei was very happy and said with a smile: "I thought we would have a lot of differences, but I didn't expect to be so unanimous. Next we will make formal preparations. If there are any problems with the script, I will come back to you."
"Then my mission is almost completed?"
"No, no, you can put forward opinions on all aspects. During the filming, the scene may be changed temporarily, which requires your intervention. Normally, the filming will start in the second half of the year, finish within the year, and be released next year."
Wang Haowei paused and made a special point: "In other words, you can participate until the filming is completed."
??????55.??????
"Can I stay in the guest house forever?"
"Ha ha!"
Wang Haowei laughed loudly and said: "Don't be embarrassed, for the factory it is just an extra person's salary. If it can be exchanged for a good work, Director Wang will be happy for it!"
…………
Returned to the guest house, the familiar room 302.
Chen Qi washed his face and had nothing to do, so he simply lay on the bed and took a nap.
I heard that people in Shanxi like to take naps the most. The genes engraved in their bones are just like the Shandong people’s exam editing, the Tianjin people’s preaching, learning and singing, and the Sichuan girls’ labor and management Shu Daoshan...
When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
After washing his face again, he found that he was pretty good. He had some free time after writing the script, and it seemed that he still needed to do something. Although he looked lazy, he was not a salty fish at heart, he was thinking about his career.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in!"
When Liang Xiaosheng came in, Chen Qi was reading a book called "900 English Sentences", which he had asked Yu Xiuli to get.
English is not very sensitive nowadays, and there is a craze for learning English among the people. For example, in "Love in Lushan", the heroine taught the hero to say "I love my motherland", which is a phenomenon of the times.
He pretended to look frequently to cover up his increasingly fluent English.
"Have you finished talking to Teacher Wang?"
"Well, it was a good chat and progressed quickly."
"It means you can make rapid progress, but you don't know. When the director and screenwriter were discussing before, they often got into fights over disagreements. As the saying goes, literary people look down on each other, and it's the same when making movies. They all think they are great."
Liang Xiaosheng sat on a chair and crossed his legs. Room 302 was already his second dormitory. He said, "By the way, Ge You will take the exam tomorrow. He is practicing hard at home. The old man is accompanying him personally. The ACFTU Art Troupe is recruiting people. We will take the exam again this time."
If not, then there is really no hope.”
"It's okay for him. Even for those big pigs and little pigs, they have to pass the exam."
Liang Xiaosheng sat for a while, then stood up to leave.
Chen Qi thought for a while and followed him out.
Walking in the courtyard, before he reached the main building, he suddenly felt happy and walked a few steps quickly. In front of him, Jiang Shan, who was coming towards him, opened her eyes wide and ran away.
"Why are you running?"
"Don't come here, it's annoying!"
"If you don't say hello to me and your speech is rude, I'll tell your father!"
"Ahhh, bad guy!"
"ha!"
He succeeded in teasing the little girl, and was extremely happy. Liang Xiaosheng sighed. Xiao Chen is usually quite mature, but he didn't expect that he also has a childish side.
After going up to the main building, Chen Qizhen went to find Jiang Huaiyan, but instead of complaining, he borrowed a phone. Phones are also rare these days. Individual families don't have them at all, only large units have them.
He not only eats and drinks, but also eats and drinks everything.
Shamelessly, he dialed the number of China Youth Daily and said: "Hello, is this China Youth Daily... Oh, I'm looking for reporter Yu Jiajia!"
After waiting for a while, a female voice came from the other side.
"Comrade Chen Qi? Why did you call me?"
"I would like to inquire. I heard that "Tianjin Daily" has published GG. Have newspapers in Beijing opened GG business?"
"No, Tianjin is Tianjin, and Beijing is Beijing. What are you going to do?"
"There have been more and more tea stalls recently, and we are under great pressure from competition. I want to continue to promote our tea stalls... How about we cooperate and make some news?"
(Thank you to the leader of the coffee table in life...
No more!)
