As soon as the group got off the plane, they were warmly received by many entertainment companies, and Li Mu had to lead the team back to the hotel on the grounds that he was too tired from the long journey.

Liang Hongfei was amazed: "Koreans are so enthusiastic? Don't you say that they are very arrogant?"

Chen Xuan scolded with a smile: "Do you think that is enthusiastic about you? People are enthusiastic about the Chinese market behind us, and they are enthusiastic about banknotes." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, but Li Mu said with a straight face: "South Korea is a magical country, don't be deceived by the illusion of appearance, keep a little heart for everything, we have learned a lot of things from others now, and the meat sent to the mouth may hide arsenic." ”

Everyone is not a fledgling rookie, they all know it in their hearts, but Li Mu's words also made them feel excited in their hearts.

Li Mu didn't say more, and made an appointment to let everyone go back to the room to rest after making an appointment for tomorrow's gathering, Li Mu originally wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so he simply took out the script and began to study the characters.

The character of Ding Qing gave people the feeling of cynicism and a bit of a gentleman when he appeared, even if he knew that he was an underworld leader, he still gave people a feeling that he was very interesting, and this feeling lasted for a full hour of the film.

It wasn't until he shot the undercover policeman with a shovel in the warehouse that the bloody ferocity of a gang leader was really shown, and this contrast is easy to give the audience an illusion, and the tension of the drama is also perfectly reflected at this moment.

But it is very difficult to play this contrast well, Li Mu has not systematically studied acting, he is more about substituting himself into the character, and then expressing it.

Early the next morning, when gathering, everyone found that Li Mu seemed to have changed, his mouth became very broken, and he was all kinds of picky, and even stepped on the disposable slippers of the hotel all the time, which once made the hotel waiter very embarrassed, and bowed and apologized vigorously, not to mention the waiter, even Liang Hongfei and they felt embarrassed.

For several days in a row, Li Mu was in this state, and in the past few days, they have also found some shooting locations under the leadership of the Korean receptionist, during which the Korean reception party was also very embarrassed by Li Mu's state, the reception staff are all small employees of the company, and they can only bow and apologize vigorously, and they wonder in their hearts, doesn't it mean that this has always been very kind? Is this kindness?

Finally, after inspecting most of the filming locations, Li Mu finally withdrew from a certain state and returned to normal.

The location of the casting is in the hotel room where Li Mu is located, and the first arrangement is the role of "Xinyu", which is also what the Korean entertainment company is eager to determine.

In fact, it can also be expected, because the character of "Section Chief Jiang" is set up as a middle-aged fat uncle, such an actor has a limited ability to attract fans, even if he is popular, it is not as good as the fan effect brought by beauties.

Compared with Korean artists, the living environment of Chinese artists is no longer known how many times better.

One by one, the beauties went in and out of the hotel room like a formality, and they didn't know that they thought they were carrying out some kind of illegal transaction, but fortunately, there were a bunch of people in Li Mu's room instead of one person.

Liang Hongfei had to stop: "I said, haven't you noticed that these beauties look too similar? I'm already a little dizzy, and I can't tell who is who." ”

Chen Xuan also nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, and their performances are a little too exaggerated, their facial expressions are too exaggerated, is this the way Korean actors perform?"

Li Mu shook his head helplessly: "I have to tell you a bad news, Chen Xuan is right, this is indeed the way Korean actors act, they are used to using facial expressions to express emotions, so when playing with them, you should also pay attention to letting your performance go out as much as possible, otherwise it will look very embarrassing." ”

The audition lasted for three whole days and did not end, during which the main creators were knocked on the door by beautiful actresses more than once, but with Li Mu's previous advice, everyone also kept an eye on it, and could only regretfully refuse the "kindness" of the beauties.

"Call the next one. Liang Hongfei yawned, he regretted a little that he didn't bring Yu Peipei over, last night's beauty was too tempting, if he got married, he would never be polite.......... So much so that he didn't sleep well at all in the second half of the night.

However, as soon as the next actress came in, she attracted the attention of all the main creators, not because of how beautiful she looked, how good her figure was, her skin was even a little dark, and she was wearing a very orthodox uniform, without any revealing elements, and the expression on her face was also very indifferent, not at all as amorous as when other actresses came in.

Li Mu couldn't help but light up, at least the actress had carefully studied the script, the role of "Xinyu" was definitely not a kitsch character, she was always indifferent to Li Zicheng's anger, and in the face of the arrest of the "Yanbian Four Bears", she resolutely destroyed the phone card and said to Section Chief Jiang: "Quit smoking." After his last words, he resisted alone and shot one of the "Yanbian Four Bears" in the head.

Chen Xuan made a gesture to sit down, and then said, "Then let's have a plot where you made your first appearance, Li Zicheng and Xinyu played Go, right?"

Soon a translator translated it into Korean for the woman, and the woman nodded indifferently, seeming a little careless.

Naturally, there is no chessboard, both of them are non-physical performances, Chen Xuan silently raised his hand, put down a "chess piece" and said casually: "That's okay, right?"

The woman's face was as pale as water, and she also played a move and shook her head slightly: "After so many years, your chess skills have not improved at all." ”

Li Mu nodded secretly, the woman has a great detail, because it is a non-physical performance, Chen Xuan's void point is actually very casual, but the woman is impartial when she "plays chess", and it happens to be next to Chen Xuan's fingers, and ordinary people rarely pay attention to such details.

When the woman said, "You have a new mission." At that time, Li Zicheng suddenly broke out, he shook off the chess pieces in his hand, and vented his anger at "Xinyu": "I am undercover in the gang, even they trust me, why can't you? Don't forget that I am also a policeman!"

The woman's eyes seemed to be a little flustered, but she still shook her head, in her heart, Section Chief Jiang's orders were the rules of action, as for the chess pieces, she didn't care about being a chess piece.

Li Mu couldn't help but take the lead in applauding, whether it was Chen Xuan's outburst or the woman's response just now, in his opinion, it was just right, and the creators were also a little excited, and finally they didn't have to look at similar faces, maybe the consequence of serious aesthetic fatigue was that they would have the urge to vomit when they saw similar things.

Li Mu didn't bother to translate this time, but directly sent out an invitation in Korean: "This role is yours, welcome to join the New World crew." ”

The woman subconsciously stretched out her hand, and after a while, she muttered to herself, "I, really, got this role?"

Suddenly caught the creators a little off guard, just looking at her appearance, I thought it was because I had no desire and no desire, but it turned out that it was because I felt that there was no hope for breaking the jar?

After chatting, Li Mu learned that the original woman's name was Qian Chenglin, but she was not a professional actor, but a model, and had only filmed a few low-cost Korean dramas, so for such an important role, she actually didn't have much hope, she just wanted to give it a try.

The news that the female number one was obtained by a model in the circle instantly caused a sensation in the Korean entertainment industry, and many entertainment tabloids also frequently broke the so-called "fierce news", which basically smeared the creators, especially Li Mu.

However, they seemed to have found the wrong target, Li Mu was not easy to provoke, and immediately contacted the South Korean lawyer and took several leading media to court.

With this farce, the movie "New World" has gained high exposure in South Korea, and some Korean theaters have taken the initiative to contact Li Mu.

The news that another leading actor was being auditioned was soon reported by the Korean media, attracting more and more actors to audition.

Won the role of "Section Chief Jiang" is a very famous actor in the circle - Choi Min-ho, I have to say that the acting skills of the older generation of actors are really powerful, compared with the exaggerated performances of other Korean actors, his acting skills are more restrained, especially the eyes, Chen Xuan was once suppressed by him when he was playing with him.

And Choi Min-ho's salary is also frighteningly low, only 100 million won, that is, about 590,000 yuan, Liang Hongfei can't help but wonder, are Korean actors so cheap?

You must know that 590,000 yuan, no one will take care of you if you invite a third-tier star in Huaxia, but in South Korea, you can actually invite such a powerful actor with both acting skills and fame.

However, this is the case, so these entertainment companies in South Korea are trying their best to send their artists to Huaxia to make money, just like Zhang Nara said in the show back then, she will go to Huaxia to make money every time she runs out of money, although it sounds a little derogatory to Huaxia, in fact, people are telling the truth, but unfortunately this honest sister paper, because of this sentence, completely cut off the opportunity to come to Huaxia to make money.

After the two leading actors were in place, the film crew also traveled from China to South Korea for filming, which was also the first time that the studio tried to connect with so many foreign actors.

The filming process is naturally not smooth sailing, first of all, the problem of language barriers, for which the crew specially invited more than a dozen Chinese college students studying in South Korea to act as translators.

Being able to get a high salary and get in touch with celebrities is not always available, and many things are much smoother when the translator is in place.

Of course, there is another difficulty, that is, the difference in the expression of the two sides, most Korean actors have adapted to more exaggerated performances, such as the way they express shock will be wide-eyed, and then the facial muscles will have some very exaggerated expressions, while the expression of Chinese actors will be more restrained, which makes it difficult for the two sides to play together.

It seems that there is no problem when you look at it alone, but when two people are in one picture, it is easy to play, at the beginning, Liang Hongfei's idea was to let Korean actors collect a little, and their expressions should not be too exaggerated, but unfortunately, as soon as they were guided, Korean actors would not be able to act.

"Aren't we a little preconceived?" Li Mu asked during the main creator's meeting in the evening.

Chen Xuan pinched his chin, which had been completely slimmed, and frowned, "You mean, let us get used to them?"

Li Mu snapped his fingers: "That's right, our thinking from the beginning was wrong, although most of the members of this drama team are Chinese, but don't forget that this is a movie with a Korean background, and the characters in the play are all Koreans!"

This is difficult, the way of acting is the same as living habits, in fact, it is difficult to change, at the beginning, many Chinese actors were not very adaptable, as if they usually didn't feel good about watching Korean dramas at home, and they were quite moving, but once you said in daily life: "Oba, the time with you is all dazzling, because the weather is good, because the weather is bad, because the weather is just right, every day, is beautiful." "It's embarrassing, isn't it?

But there is no way, if you don't adapt, you have to adapt, for this reason, the crew even arranged Chinese actors and Korean actors in a standard room to make them familiar with each other.

Chen Xuan directly asked to live in a room with Cui Minhao, but he appeared on the set with red eyes the next day, and only after asking did he know that Cui Minhao snored in various fancy ways at night, and Chen Xuan almost never fell asleep all night.

However, half a month later, the effect of this arrangement came out, and the actors got used to the exaggerated expressions of Korean actors, and their performances were not so embarrassing.

The biggest improvement is Chen Xuan, who can even communicate with Choi Min-ho in simple Korean.

For this reason, Li Mu even decided to burn all the films in the first half of the month and restart filming, whether it is a Chinese actor or a Korean actor, they have worked harder to see such a scene, at least they have never seen such a crew.

Especially for Korean actors, the Korean market is too small, and they can't make too much money themselves, even if they have prestige, they don't dare to burn the film, so the investor will definitely let him fall into the abyss from which he will never recover.

"New World" is a gangster film, naturally there are indispensable scenes of fighting, and there are many very bloody scenes, such as Ding Qing killed the police undercover in front of Li Zicheng in the warehouse, and cut his throat after beating him to the point that his head was broken and bleeding, such a picture does not need to be submitted for trial to know that it will definitely not pass, so similar scenes have to be deleted, but they still have to be filmed, such scenes cannot be released in China, but they can be in South Korea.

Ding Qing played by Li Mu has a very bloody fight scene, and in order to restore Ding Qing's fierce fight scene, Li Mu also suffered a lot.
