Chapter 182: Actor Puzzle
At the suggestion of Fat Di and Gu Limena, Li Mo decided to set the little boy in the original "Get Out, Tumor-Jun" movie as a little girl.
But whether he changes this setting or not, he will face a problem next.
Where to find a young actor at this age.
The little girl who appears in the movie must be well-behaved, cute, and cute, all in all, the first impression is the kind that sprouts blood.
It's not that Li Mo has any fetish, but purely because in the feature film, this little girl's appearance time will not exceed 20 minutes, if it is not for very prominent characteristics, it is not enough to impress the audience at all.
Considering the age of the young actors, even if they have a certain acting foundation, it is impossible to have extremely outstanding acting skills, so it is the easiest and most direct way to find a breakthrough point from the appearance.
However, it is 2012, and in his previous life, Li Mo mainly focused on the adult film market, and basically cooperated with actors who had reached the age of 20 in 2018. about
A young actor of this age, Li Mo is completely black-eyed.
Not to mention that children of this age are also required to have acting skills......
In desperation, Li Mo had to call Zong Shuai, Wang Changtian and others for help, hoping that through their connections, they could find a suitable candidate.
In addition to this little actor, there are several very important roles in "Get Out, Tumor" that need to be determined.
After careful consideration, Sun Yizhou wanted to leave the role of Xiong Dun's flowery boyfriend, and I don't know if he felt that these two roles had something in common because he played Lu Ziqiao.
Since it was his own decision, Li Mo only hoped that he would not be stereotyped as only playing this kind of role because of this;
Wang Chuanjun's choice was more unexpected, he actually chose the father of the sick little girl.
This character not only has limited playing time, but also has a big gap with himself......
Li Mo was more worried about this.
But how to say it, "Tumor" is Wang Chuanjun's first play after joining the company, and there are not many scenes in this role, so there should not be much of a problem............ bar.
Hehe, if Li Mo traveled a little later, late enough to watch Wang Chuanjun's performance in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", I guess he wouldn't be so worried.
In addition, the remaining characters are Xiong Dun's attending physician, Dr. Liang, Xiong Dun's parents, and Li Mo's fictional character Xia Meng.
In the original version of "Tumor", Dr. Liang is played by the Chinese-American actor Wu Yanzu, who was born in the United States.
If you put aside his Mandarin, in fact, in the whole movie, his performance is still not enough to make people play.
Dr. Liang's heart changed, from being cloudy, forced to laugh to being infected by Xiong Dun, and really began to embrace life, get out of the haze, and even after rescuing Xiong Dun, he wanted to use smoking to relieve the psychological pressure of facing life and death, but because he couldn't accept the smell of smoke, he ran to the toilet to vomit......
These parts of Wu Yanzu are all convincing.
But Li Mo could only choose to replace him......
Even if the original version of "Tumor" made his accent problem logical, set Dr. Liang's identity background as a Chinese who grew up abroad, but when the movie involves blending with the surrounding background, the problem of Wu Yanzu's accent will be highlighted.
Anyway, Dr. Liang's character is a handsome and stable enough doctor, and it is not too much of a problem to use anyone.
When Li Mo was writing the script in the United States, he originally considered handing over the role to Deng Chao, but before he could open his mouth to introduce the role, Deng Chao had already made it clear that he had no schedule.
In desperation, Li Mo had to use the second candidate and hand over this role to Wang Kai.
For Li Mo's role of rotating in a row and not giving much rest time in the middle, Wang Kai showed that he raised his hands in approval.
According to his words, a few years ago, at HY, Fiber Optic Media wasted too much time, and now he is uncomfortable when there is no filming every few days......
Since Wang Kai himself has no opinions, Li Mo is naturally happy to see it.
It's just that in this way, the role of Xiong Dun's blue-faced confidant Xiao Xia is vacant again.
Although this role can be regarded as the second male lead in this movie, there are not many scenes and sense of existence, if it weren't for the balance of the ratio of men and women in the movie, Li Mo even considered canceling this role directly......
Considering the end, Li Mo decided to go into battle himself and play the role of Xiao Xia.
lest after a few years, I am embarrassed to say that I am a graduate of the acting department......
The two roles of Xiong Dun's parents, Li Mo still remembers that in the original movie, Liu Lili and Li Jianyi were played by two teachers.
Although they are not big-name actors, their acting skills are solid, their performances are real and credible, and now Li Mo's version of "Tumor" has replaced too many elements of the original version, and the performances of these two old actors are definitely one of the few acting cornerstones in the movie, but they dare not move anymore......
So Li Mo decided to contact the agents of the two teachers through Zong Shuai and send the script to them, according to the current feedback, they have no resistance to taking these two roles.
The most tricky is the role of Xia Meng.
Compared with Amy, who Fat Di will play, and Lao Zheng, who Gu Limena will play, the character of Xia Meng is much more complicated.
If Xiong Dun is an older unmarried young woman with a big brain and full of secondary and secondary attributes, then Xia Meng is a cold and charming goddess with a full stomach......
Now that it has been determined that the role of Xiong Dun has been handed over to Liu Yifei, Xia Meng really has to think about it......
Before Li Mo could go through the actresses he knew one by one, Zong Shuai recommended a candidate to him.
"Xiaomo, the role of Xia Meng, have you considered Wan Qian?"
"Sister Qian, she should be able to handle the role of Xia Meng, but does she have a schedule now?"
After listening to the candidate recommended by Zong Shuai, Li Mo was a little surprised.
Although I haven't seen each other for a while, with the heroine of "Master of Hypnosis" by her side, Wan Qian's situation should be much better than the original time and space.
At least the box office record for "Master of Hypnosis" is there......
"There's a lot of schedules, and as far as I know, she should be idle at home now. ”
"It doesn't make sense. "Master of Hypnosis" is still the champion of this year's Chinese domestic box office list, Sister Qian won't be unexpected, right?"
"Don't just watch "Master of Hypnosis" where she is the protagonist, why don't you watch her "Liu Rushi", which will be released on the 3rd of this month?"
"The heroine is Liu Ruyi, the head of Qin Huai Bayan, so how much is the box office now?" Li Mo asked casually.
“…… 260 thousand. ”
After being silent for a long time, Zong Shuai reported a number.
"Brother Zong, what Sister Qian said is also my senior sister, if you make this kind of joke again, I will turn my face. ”
Li Mo dug out his ears, a little unconvinced.
“…… I'm kidding the hell, it's really only 260,000," I could hear it, and the Zong Shuai on the other end of the phone was also a little crying and laughing, "Here's the thing......"
After Zong Shuai's description, Li Mo knew how miserable the movie "Liu Rushi" was.
We usually say that the movie release time is short, generally called a three-day tour and a five-day tour, but "Liu Rushi" can be regarded as setting a record, and the time for the film to enter the theater market is less than 24 hours......
It's hard to say it's a day trip.
The major theater chains originally arranged it to start business in the morning, which was already a very cold time period, but after all the theaters of a chain theater were empty, "Liu Rushi" was simply withdrawn.
Hearing the news, Li Mo's only regret in his heart was not for this movie, but for Wan Qian, an actor.
As far as Li Mo knows, Wan Qian spent 3 months carefully studying "Liu Ru is Farewell" by Mr. Chen Yinke, a master of Chinese culture, in order to play Liu Rushi, the head of Qin Huai Bayan, and also went to learn guqin and Kunqu opera at her own expense, and this is just to perform a good performance of "Liu Rushi" in the movie "Liu Rushi", a singing segment of "Peony Pavilion" that is less than three minutes......
Faced with such a situation, Li Mo didn't know what to say for a while.
After being bored for a long time, Li Mo gave Zong Shuai a reply: "Brother Zong, you continue to hurry up to find the little actor, and the matter of Teacher Liu (Liu Lili) and Teacher Li (Li Jianyi) should also be implemented as soon as possible, and the role of Xia Meng will be put on hold for the time being." ”
