Chapter 409: Supporting Character Alliance
(Thank you for the "Spiritual Emptiness" reward, and even more!)
Li Menglong was on the plane in the second half of the night, so he rushed over early in the morning, fortunately, the fried chicken restaurant was open 24 hours a day, rubbing his sore eyes, Li Menglong decided that he couldn't think about the script anymore, otherwise his brain would not be able to stand it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he went to the front desk and ordered something to eat, and then looked around blankly with his empty eyes, but soon he met a middle-aged uncle among the few diners in the store.
This uncle looks very sloppy, the stubble has grown a lot, and the semi-long hair that should have been combed and disciplined is also casually draped behind his head, and Li Menglong can meet him and laugh on the one hand, the two of them are very casual, and more because both of them are deliberately in a daze.
"Please!"
"Thank you!"
A simple two-sentence dialogue, and then the two of them didn't look very good, it could be seen that they were both hungry all night, and the other party didn't seem to have enough to eat, so they stood up: "What else do you want to eat?"
It's just that an embarrassing scene appeared, only to find that he didn't seem to have any money after ordering a bunch of fried chicken for the uncle, Li Menglong waved his hand to the waiter and signaled that it was recorded in his account, as for the uncle, he was also very single: "I'll trouble you today, and I will invite you to have a good meal when we meet again." ”
Li Menglong didn't care, it was just a temporary idea, where did he want the other party to repay, but after eating, Li Menglong's brain couldn't help but start thinking about the script again, for example, the most critical male protagonist, the fool, he Li Menglong didn't know what a fool looked like.
"Fool, I've been doing a lot of research lately!" The man on the other side heard Li Menglong's murmur, as if he wanted to repay this kindness, so he was very talkative.
Li Menglong watched the other party transform from a sloppy middle-aged uncle into a fool with an IQ of no more than six years old, and he couldn't tell where the specific changes were, but he felt that he wouldn't deceive.
"The most important thing about this is the eyes, you know, I specialize in people with low intelligence these days, they don't look at people openly and intuitively, but it's not a weak heart, it's just a mixture of fear and curiosity!"
looked at the other party who was talking eloquently, although he didn't know what the other party's name was, but he appeared in a fried chicken restaurant at this time, and he happened to have studied fools recently, and he didn't believe it when he said that he wasn't here for an interview.
So Li Menglong began to look at this uncle head-on, and the others were fine, but this one was a little too handsome, and his facial features were too tough: "If you come to play Long Jiu, I'm afraid that the audience will make a play when they see such a handsome fool!"
Liu Chenglong was still talking about the experience of a fool, but hearing Li Menglong say this seemed to swallow a fly, who is this? But fortunately, he is also an actor who has seen big scenes: "I think this is my advantage, a fool is not a fool standing there, that kind of person is a comedian! A fool is also a person, and he can also look like a human!"
"One more time?"
"No problem, I've memorized most of the script, you can pick whatever you want!"
In this way, two people who didn't even know each other's names and identities began to try out at the fried chicken restaurant in the early morning, and the process was quite a hit-off.
Yoo Seung-ryong is still well-known in the Korean film circle, although he was born in 70 and has no reputation and rarely even plays the leading role, he has silently won several awards for Best Supporting Actor.
This resume can only say one thing, this is an acting school within an acting school. And the script that can keep Li Menglong awake at night, this one can naturally see the shining points in it, and when the script is sent to him through various channels, he tells himself that this Long Jiu belongs to him, and he is Long Jiu!
"Li Menglong, one of the directors and screenwriters of this drama plus investors, I hope to cooperate happily, the actor Long Jiu!"
"Liu Chenglong, a little actor, don't expect me to sell tickets, be careful of losing you!"
The big hands of the two men were held together, and Li Menglong didn't know who pulled Liu Chenglong over, but Li Menglong knew that he was the male protagonist, and one-third of the soul of the whole play was found.
"Brother, will you interview with me later? There are no outsiders in this play, I'm still a little panicked!"
"Okay, but who are you looking for? It's really a waste to let those young idols play!"
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, no matter what I say, I can't hold you back, your eldest daughter let Xu Xian play, do you know Xu Xian?
"I've seen her movies, it's quite spiritual!"
took Liu Chenglong to the third floor and continued to communicate on the issue of the script, Li Menglong finally had a person who also studied the script to discuss, and the two chatted not too much for a while.
And Liu Chenglong also met a director who respects the wishes of actors for the first time, especially Li Menglong is still one of the screenwriters, and many people have blind confidence in their works.
But Li Menglong is not like this, he even thinks that in terms of the role of Long Jiu alone, he can't even understand Liu Chenglong, after all, he won't go to tea and dinner for a role and look at the behavior of fools and then study.
Although it is a little inappropriate to say that the dry wood is fire, and the slut Eva is even more excessive, but the two of them are indeed like old friends for more than ten years, and no one will think that this is the fourth hour that the two have known each other.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lee Eun-hee set the time for the actors to audition, the fried chicken restaurant on the first floor has closed, and there are actors from all walks of life on every seat here, but everyone has a common feature - they look familiar but they just can't name them.
If you analyze these people in depth, you will find that these people appear in almost every movie in South Korea, because almost all the best supporting roles in South Korea have been brought over by Lee Eun-hee.
As for the means, naturally there are still some to use, first of all, it is a slogan, Lee Eun-hee claims to justify all the unsuccessful supporting roles, and she wants to make a movie that belongs to the supporting roles.
In fact, the people who received the script were all acting schools from all walks of life 40 years away, and the protagonists like idols and Jiang Dongyuan did not receive invitations.
The next thing is to throw money, after all, the supporting roles are busier, and they have to participate in all dramas, why do you come to play here? And Lee Eun-hee showed her decisiveness at this time - each supporting role smashed a sky-high price of 200 million.
This is simply a price that no one can resist in the supporting role world, not to mention that after seeing the script, I knew that Lee Eun-hee was not lying, each supporting role in this drama has its own characteristics, so the most famous old supporting actors in South Korea are gathered here.
As for Lee Eun-hee, has he suffered a loss? Of course not, first of all, the positioning of this movie from Li Menglong to her is a work that practices and accumulates reputation for the company, so it is not extravagant to expect to make money, and even lose money.
Secondly, the scene of the movie itself is small, the heroine is one big and one small, the little one is worthless, and the big Xu Xian doesn't want money, so the salary is concentrated on the actor's side.
The six supporting roles have a total of 1.2 billion, plus Yoo Seung-ryong, the protagonist, a total of less than 2 billion in salary, is it very high? You must know that Yoon Eun-hye's recent film alone, her personal salary and dividends are about the same as this number.
Li Menglong and Li Enxi are here to make up the numbers, after all, there are three people in the interviews, and they have momentum when they look at it. And Li Menglong asked Liu Chenglong to come over together, which is really a good move.
Liu Chenglong has almost never been the protagonist even if he doesn't look at it, but in the supporting role circle, he is the existence of the handle, and he is too familiar with these people, so he went downstairs directly and said the requirements of this play, and immediately left a little half, all of which were for the salary.
The rest is that he really likes this script, and even has already found a good role for himself like Liu Chenglong, Li Menglong just needs to watch them perform with peace of mind.
I have to say that this is the case all over the world, the supporting actors are the main force that supports this film circle, and there may be some protagonists who do have good acting skills, but put all the protagonists and supporting roles together, and the overall quality is absolutely the supporting actors.
In just one morning, everyone had a meal together at noon, and the roles of the script were all decided, Li Menglong and a group of men discussed the script, while Li Eunxi looked at the resumes of these people.
All of them have some pride of their own, to put it simply, these people have participated in the filming of more than one big production, and they have all left their own unique marks for their roles.
The protagonist is Liu Chenglong, otherwise if a young person such as Jiang Dongyuan comes over, he will definitely not be able to suppress these people, because in this crew, the test is absolute acting skills, and any factors outside the play such as appearance and popularity will be ignored.
Fortunately, it seems that the atmosphere is very good now, especially Li Menglong, I feel that he can seamlessly connect anywhere, of course, it is not excluded that everyone is deliberately currying favor with him after knowing that he is the director.
Yoo Seung-ryong's joining can be regarded as finding one-third of the soul of the script, six supporting roles have added one-third, and the remaining one-third is the heroine, of course not Xu Xian!
These people are also relatively well-connected in the circle, but child stars are not something that can be cultivated, so it can be said that they can be met but not sought.
Even a book has dragged on for several years in order to wait for a suitable child star: "You guys study the script well, I'll look for a little girl, there's always a suitable one!"
Li Menglong and these people mainly talk about the script and feelings, as for the embarrassing issues of salary and schedule, of course, they have to be handed over to the agent, and Li Menglong's side is Li Enxi, with her ability, I believe there will be a good result.
sent off these actors here, Li Menglong immediately called out Li Zhouyong, who was idle at home, and accompanied Liu Dashen, who happened to be free.
"Aren't you too prolific? Let me tell you, you don't have to be so busy as a director!" Li Zhouyong was joking, but he still looked through the script.
"Such a good book, if you can't shoot it for me, who are you looking for actors?"
Li Menglong reported his name, Li Zhouyong is not an ordinary group of people who eat melons, he naturally knows these people, and gave Li Menglong a glass of wine: "This way is right, these people are together, even if the box office is not good, there is hope for winning an award in the end."
