This is not the first time He Ke has seen Yi Shuihan in the play, but he is still a little emotionally amazed.

He looks like he is obsessed with acting, isn't it similar to the state of Cheng Dieyi in the play!

"Director He, what are you looking for me?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile, but that smile carried a little bit of Cheng Dieyi's warmth and calmness.

In order to ponder the role of Chen Dieyi, Yi Shuihan locked himself in the performance room, and he hadn't paid attention to the studio and crew for a long time!

"The crew is already gradual, I'm here to discuss with you about the actors!" Heck said.

Yi Shuihan nodded and responded: "The number of actors in this movie is a bit large, what are the recruitment plans now?"

"I want to hear your opinion first, and see if we are unanimous. He said with a smile.

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment and said: "In this movie, the time span is divided into four stages, namely childhood, adolescence, youth, and old age.

But the characteristics and appearances of actors at each stage are different, take Cheng Dieyi as an example.

Young Cheng Dieyi is delicate, quiet, and stubborn, he longs for maternal love and rebels against fate, but he can only passively accept fate, which gives rise to a new obsession and a desire to be a man.

We can audition for the role of young Cheng Dieyi, and this same batch of young actors is also selected from the audition. ”

Heck nodded, this is very much in line with his heart, in fact, children are more spiritual than adults in this aspect of acting, as long as he chooses carefully, he believes that he can find a suitable actor.

Yi Shuihan continued: "The young Cheng Dieyi was eager to be a man, but his belief was shattered by cruel realities, and at that time he wanted to sing with his senior brother for the rest of his life.

At this time, Cheng Dieyi already needs a certain amount of opera skills, and he also needs to experience the hard work and atmosphere of the troupe's training, I think the actors of the same period, including Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou...... You can discuss with Mr. Shang to see if he can kidnap a batch of Peking Opera seedlings......"

He Ke laughed, but he didn't expect Yi Shuihan to have the same idea as him.

The so-called performance, the more realistic the performance, the more successful the performance, so who knows more about Peking Opera than the children who grew up in the Peking Opera Troupe......

Even if there is a slight flaw in the performance, as long as it is good ~ teaching, it will definitely be able to make people shine!

"Young Chen Dieyi, he longs to sing with his brother for the rest of his life, but he was once again played with by reality, collapsed, and lost himself.

In his later years, he reunited with his senior brother and sang on the same stage - evoking the obsession of "boys" and "wanting to sing well", and finally won the overlord sword and killed himself......

I played both phases......

Speaking of which, I'll expand on the whole, in my opinion, this is a story of an individual fighting against fate, and the core is about fate, that is, the fate repeatedly mentioned in the film.

What a helpless and sad story!" Yi Shuihan sighed with a wry smile.

The more you study the character of Cheng Dieyi, the more you can feel the bitterness and helplessness in his heart, he has been resisting all his life, but fate has pushed him into an irreparable abyss.

"For the reasons of these two periods, let's recruit in the circle...... But there is one requirement, that is, I don't need small fresh meat, everything is based on quality!" Jiang Yuanjin said softly.

"Well, I agree with you, and now everyone in the circle is waiting for the news of our audition!" said Heke with a laugh.

It's not that they are arrogant, the reputation and reputation of Yi Shuihan's studio, coupled with the appeal of him and Yi Shuihan, it is really not bragging that most of the entertainment industry is looking forward to being able to participate.

"I'm afraid that after reading the script, I will scare away most people!" Jiang Yuanjin said with a chuckle.

A realistic movie like Farewell My Concubine, coupled with a movie with a suspected same~ sex plot, I am afraid that most interested actors will also retreat......

"Then they will wait to regret it!" He Ke also smiled knowingly, for this movie, he and Yi Shuihan are equally confident!

"Then follow the process......" Jiang Yuanjin continued: "The rest of the actors are up to you, but I hope that the actor in the role of adult Duan Xiaolou can make me pass by." ”

"Well, after all, it's a rival play, and the two characters have had too much emotional interaction before, and the most important thing is to have feelings!" Heck nodded.

The two characters of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou can be said to be the most soulful characters in this movie, and the quality and interaction of these two characters can even affect the quality of the whole movie!

It is understandable for Yi Shuihan to make such a request, besides, this movie is all invested by him, if he wants to, which role is not up to him!

He Ke still sees this very clearly.

"That's okay, then the next actor recruitment will be hard to congratulate the director!" Yi Shuihan thanked and said: "Wait for Duan Xiaolou's role to audition, please let me know!"

At this meeting, the two simply talked for more than an hour, and then set the work arrangements for the next period of time.

Yi Shuihan continued to ponder and study the role of Cheng Dieyi, and He Ke also began to recruit actors in an all-round way.

It took him nearly half a month to finally select the most suitable candidate from thousands of children, and when the little guy pursed his mouth, he looked delicate and a little stubborn.

In Heck's words, it is natural for this young Cheng Dieyi to be played by him.

A group of actors such as the teenagers Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou were personally invited by the Peking Opera master Mr. Shang Lao.

After hearing that they could be on the big screen, almost the entire Peking Opera circle was boiling, especially those young Peking Opera actors of the right age.

The decline of Peking Opera is a foregone conclusion, and if you can go out of the other way with movies, it would be a better attempt.

He Ke and Shang Huiqiu auditioned for nearly ten young actors from the Peking Opera Troupe, and also selected the actors they wanted.

They all have a good foundation in Peking Opera, and they are not even worse than the professional actors in performance!

It's also a normal thing, they train hard to be on stage and perform for the public.

In this regard, the two still have something in common!

In terms of the recruitment of adult roles, it was really expected by Yi Shuihan, and many actors who happily accepted the invitation to audition were a little embarrassed after reading the script.

There is no doubt that this script is a good script, but it is unknown whether a film with such a theme and type can be accepted by the audience.

If it's just a box office failure, it's not a big problem, if some of the plots affect the future acting career, then it's a big loss!

So many actors have withdrawn, either without schedule, or unable to control it, all in all, euphemistically declined the audition invitation for "Farewell My Concubine".

As for what Heck said before, they will regret it in the future, and no one can say this matter so far.

But there are also many powerful actors who think this is an opportunity, and even they think that this movie may even become a classic, after all, in terms of script, they have never even seen such a brilliant movie.

Casting for actors is also progressing step by step.

Soon, the master of the drama troupe, Na Kun, Eunuch Zhang, Xiao Si, Yuan Siye and other characters gradually took place.

In the end, only the heavyweight role of Duan Xiaolou remained......
