Chapter 421: Opinions Differ
As an actor, if you want to switch from the TV industry to the film industry, you must first understand your market positioning, image positioning and fan type composition, so that you can easily transform and cross borders.
Otherwise, the cross-border will not be successful, but it will become a "jumping off the building", which is quite tragic. Being popular is really not an inevitable reason for box office success.
The success or failure of a movie cannot all depend on one or two leading actors, and a box office figure may not determine how successful or unsuccessful the work is.
But when considered as an important parameter, the popularity you have accumulated over the years in the TV industry may not be worth this small box office number, or the word-of-mouth number on the rating website.
Yi Shuihan has only been in the industry for more than two years, although he has become a first-line artist in TV series with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but whether it is accumulation or heritage, I am afraid it is not enough to control a movie.
So they are not optimistic about this cross-border work of Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan entered the film industry in such a hurry, I'm afraid he will turn a big heel, right?
Media reporters were not in a hurry to express their opinions, and they congratulated the news more lightly.
Yi Shuihan's reputation and potential are enough for them to pay attention to, and they feel that there is no need to offend each other because of this trivial matter.
Artists also have inconsistent opinions on this news, and many actors have even received audition invitations for the film.
It was an artist who was invited to audition for the leading actor, so he naturally knew that Yi Shuihan did not star in this movie himself.
It's just that they don't have a lot of interest in this movie, which has an investment of only 10 million and is the first time to try to enter the big screen.
Not to mention the low salary, because of the subject matter, I'm afraid the results of the release will not be much better.
So most of them politely declined the invitation to audition for the film.
There are some third- and fourth-tier movie actors who are looking forward to becoming famous, or TV actors who want to cross borders, who are somewhat interested in this movie.
It's just a question whether it can meet the requirements of Yi Shuihan and others.
At this time, "Diary from the Past" has entered the work of preparing for the crew.
After discussion, the film was directed by a young director in his thirties, Xu Minghua.
Although he is not well-known in the industry, he is very good at shooting urban low-budget films.
The use of mirrors and colors has a heart-warming feeling, which is very much in line with this script.
After seeing his other works, Yi Shuihan decided to let him direct.
And Xu Minghui also gladly accepted this script that moved him.
He even had a hunch that this work would be better than all his previous films.
In terms of the selection of actors, Yi Shuihan and others have encountered a big problem.
The main characters in this movie are the heroes and heroines.
Because there will be a lot of emotional expressions, expressions and eyes that are convenient to display, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are required to be very outstanding.
Those first- and second-tier movie actors don't look down on their films, and Yi Shuihan may not be able to afford to pay for it.
And most of the artists who recommended themselves did not meet their requirements, so things fell into an impasse.
Yi Shuihan: The target of the actor they are looking for is a male artist over the age of 30 with outstanding acting skills, ordinary appearance, and tense performance.
After the selection and understanding of the schedule, they finally determined three audition actors.
Chen Yitao, aged thirty-six, has an angular face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and extremely expressive eyes.
Lai Dingrong, thirty-two years old, with an ordinary appearance, mostly plays some clear speech and gentle temper No. 3 and No. 4 in his film works, and is good at shaping micro-expressions.
Wu Bin, 29 years old, has been in the TV field for several years, has outstanding acting skills, and has starred in several low-budget movies, but they all failed, and this time he challenged the big screen.
The audition time was scheduled for Yi Shuihan and others a week later, so that they had enough time to get to know the role.
The three of them read the script carefully as soon as they got it.
They all took this audition opportunity very seriously.
Although the outside world has many opinions about the films invested by Yi Shuihan Studio, they don't care about it.
For the three of them who are around 30 years old and in the third and fourth tiers, it is a rare opportunity to play the leading role in a movie.
If they fail, they're just wasting a few months, but if they succeed, it's their chance to rise.
Of course, it depends on the quality of the script, and if it really doesn't catch the eye, they won't waste months.
They didn't have much hope for the script, but it was a very big surprise for them.
Putting aside the ingenious and ingenious setting for the time being, they were moved by the warm and tear-jerking plot in the play.
Although it is a small-budget and niche movie, as long as it is acted well, this movie still has a big market.
"Ah Tao, how about this script?" Seeing that Chen Yitao watched it for two or three hours without stopping, the agent Lao Yu couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yitao put down the script, exhaled lightly and said: "It's exciting! I haven't seen such a wonderful script for a long time, Lao Yu, I must get this role!"
Lao Yu looked at Chen Yitao's resolute expression and was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so optimistic about this script.
And Chen Yitao is not the only one who thinks like this, but also Lai Dingrong and Wu Bin.
For such a brilliant script, none of them wants to miss the opportunity to perform.
They constantly pondered the emotions and emotions of the characters in the play, and strived to have an excellent performance during the audition.
……
For the personnel of the male protagonist, Yi Shuihan, Xu Minghua and others already have eyebrows, but the heroine is a thorny problem.
The heroine of the play, Qianqian, is a seventeen-year-old girl who is suffering from illness, but she is kind, strong, and never gives up.
Originally, Chu Yunzhu's age and appearance were in line with this role, but she was studying at school at this time.
But Yi Shuihan's other worry is that with Chu Yunzhu's acting skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to support this role.
This is the biggest reason why Yi Shuihan didn't ask her to play this role.
There was no way, Yi Shuihan had no choice but to ask Wang Jie to send audition invitations to female artists between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two.
Whether they can find a suitable candidate for the heroine, Yi Shuihan and others have no bottom, so they have to take one step at a time.
In addition to the preparatory work of "Diary from the Past", Yi Shuihan and Lu Cheng also began to create about Tianlong Babu.
For this story that Yi Shuihan values very much, Lu Cheng is also looking forward to it.
Yi Shuihan can create such a wonderful work as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I am afraid that this "Dragon Babu" will not be inferior.
Although Lu Cheng was already mentally prepared, when Yi Shuihan described the story, he was still shocked and dumbfounded.
