Chapter 116: Casting
When casting film and television works, if the appearance and image of the character are not distinct, and the audience has no specific concept of what the character looks like, they can choose according to the principle of acting skills and fame first.
For example, the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun is widely spread, but no one knows what Hou Yi looks like, so as long as Lu Lin's acting skills are passable, it will not be too disobedient.
But if it is the kind of artistic image that has long been fixed in the hearts of the audience and has become conventional, it should be selected according to the similarity of appearance as much as possible. For example, Guan Yu in "Three Kingdoms", thanks to the credit of the Three Kingdoms Commentary in the early years, when Guan Yu Guan Erye is mentioned, he knows that it is "lying silkworm eyebrows, danfeng eyes, and face like heavy jujubes".
Danfeng eyes are characterized by the tail of the eye being upturned, while the tail of the eye of ordinary people is slightly downward. In the old version of "Three Kingdoms", Lu Shuming hung his eyes with adhesive tape every day in order to perform the feeling of Danfeng's eyes, and he couldn't stop crying in pain, so that his eyes habitually narrowed into an oblique slit.
In addition, he practiced Guan Yu's expressions and movements every day, and practiced staring at things to make his eyes shine. The Guan Yu he played will be vivid, lifelike, and unanimously recognized.
Although Chang'e's artistic image has no specific description of her appearance, it is recognized that she is beautiful. And it should be rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth.
Although there are a lot of beauties in the domestic entertainment industry, they may be accustomed to seeing too much, and the kind of amazing beauty is really rare!
As for the requirements of the sixteen characters of "soaring, graceful, transcendent, and peerless", ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to perform this feeling.
Of course, in the play "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun", Chang'e's role is not the point. In fact, finding an actress with a similar appearance will not be criticized by the audience, but Lu Lin still wants to use special effects to create a Chang'e who captivates the country and the city.
Assistant Gao Wen said: "But, in this case, will the cost be too high?"
Lu Lin said: "It's okay, digital virtual actor, the most beautiful Chang'e in the world, just these two gimmicks can save a lot of publicity costs, and can also arouse the curiosity of the audience." ”
When Gao Wen heard this, she just said "oh" and didn't continue the discussion. Because for the matter of whether to use virtual actors, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian need to worry about it.
But Lu Lin didn't mention it to these two people at all, and still arranged auditions for actors and actresses every day, and the casting of the movie "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" made a wave of heat.
There's no way, almost all actresses in the entire Chinese film industry who have a little confidence in their appearance will come to audition for the role of Chang'e. No matter how many scenes there are, a famous director and a large investment are enough.
A few days after the audition, seeing that the momentum was so huge, Lu Lin was a little uneasy. secretly said in his heart: "If one day I suddenly announce that I didn't pick any of them, and I am going to use a digital virtual actor to play Chang'e, I won't be hated by the actresses in the entire film and television industry, then it will feel sour!"
As for the actors, Hu Ge came here, and to be honest, his demeanor and temperament are not suitable for playing the fierce and violent Wu clan. And there are not many suitable for the demon clan, and finally set the corner of Kong Xuan, the first peacock in heaven and earth to cultivate the Tao, with five-color divine light. Of course, in "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", he is just a soy sauce character.
and Zhou Zhaolong also came, and after an audition, he was given the role of Donghuang Taiyi. After all, this person's kung fu and acting skills are okay, and he has played the villain all the year round, so it is not difficult to play the emperor.
After getting such a role, Zhou Zhaolong was overjoyed, he hadn't gotten such an important role for a long time, and it was in a big production of 600 million. I wanted to pull the relationship and invited Lu Lin to drink together.
Lu Lin didn't have much contact with Zhou Zhaolong in his early years, but he admired the other party's kung fu. Besides, everyone was born in martial arts, so they were naturally closer, so they agreed to eat together in the evening.
After getting off work, the two went to a hotel near the company and asked for a private room, and they were a little restrained at first. Later, when I drank too much, the more I talked, the more topical I became.
"Martial arts is really in decline, in the past, I thought that I was a real kung fu and willing to endure hardships, and I would definitely be able to use my fists and feet to make a difference in the film industry. Who would have thought that later, he would almost not be able to eat!" Zhou Zhaolong sighed while shaking his head slightly.
Lu Lin was not as good as this one in his early years, and Zhou Zhaolong was still playing rival with Cheng Long and Li Yangzhong back then. "The world is changing, the current audience only likes traffic stars, who still likes fist-to-flesh fights!"
"Hey, if you were born at the wrong time, if you were born a few years earlier, it would be different!" Zhou Zhaolong was drunk and confused, and sighed again.
It is very dangerous to do martial arts, and it is a youth meal. Many people didn't save money when they got old, and they were injured and sick, and most of them had a bleak night. And there are only a few people who have been beautiful since they became famous.
Lu Lin said with a smile: "If I had been born a few years earlier, I would have given it no worse than a few senior brothers, but I wouldn't be in today's situation!"
Zhou Zhaolong reacted, and the person sitting opposite him was not a down-and-out martial arts brother together, but a young and promising director, and said with a smile: "Also, although Director Lu has not become an action superstar, he has become a big director, but he is even more beautiful than those few!"
Lu Lin smiled: "It's not easy, if I lose this play, I'm afraid I will be beaten back to its original form!"
Zhou Zhaolong said: "With Director Lu's talent, he should be able to shoot well!"
Lu Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Then it depends on everyone's efforts, the highlight of this drama is the fight scene after special effects processing, it must be wonderful and dazzling, shocking! Brother Zhou is experienced, so I want to ask you to help me more in terms of play!"
In fact, with a super microcomputer, Lu Lin can handle everything. But there are too many scenes, and Lu Lin also needs a knowledgeable assistant, even if he is asked to hang the name of the action director, so as to help him tell actors who can't fight.
Zhou Zhaolong was not surprised to hear this, and laughed: "Director Lu, don't worry, since you can look up to me, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
Lu Lin laughed and said: "Okay, then please come and serve as the action director of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun"!"
Zhou Zhaolong didn't expect this, he was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and got up and said, "Thank you Director Lu, thank you, I will definitely live up to your value!"
After a few more drinks, Zhou Zhaolong suddenly said with drunkenness: "Director Lu, wait until you finish drinking, how about finding a place to move your hands and feet?"
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. People who practice martial arts are a little arrogant, Zhou Zhaolong has real kung fu, and now relying on Lu Lin, a junior like him, there is always something wrong in his heart, and he wants to find some confidence in his fists and feet.
Lu Lin said with a smile: "Okay, there is a boxing gym nearby, and Mr. Song of our company will go over to practice boxing every Friday afternoon, let's go there for activities!"
