Chapter 962: Casting

The more meticulous the study of the script, the more amazing Xu Zhengqiang became.

The excellence of this script is not only in the structure and main line, but also in the supporting roles and even group performances in the play.

The charter father, the charter wife, the boss of the axe gang, Brother Chen, the evil god of Huoyun, the strong coolie, the sauce explosion, and even the bucktooth Zhen who doesn't have too much plot all have distinct personalities and flesh and blood!

In particular, the description of life in the pig cage village is quite interesting but not messy, which is really breathtaking.

The spontaneous fun and laughter in that kind of detail are natural and harmonious, and I don't know how many times better than the blunt and embarrassing laughs of other comedy movies.

For Yi Shuihan, who created such a work, Xu Zhengqiang appreciated and sighed even more.

After deciding to direct "Kung Fu", Xu Zhengqiang and Yi Shuihan had many exchanges.

Sometimes, Yi Shuihan's views and opinions make him feel that they are in line with his own ideas and opinions, but more often, Yi Shuihan's suggestions even make him feel amazing.

It's as if scenes have been constructed in Yi Shuihan's mind, and all the details and pictures are clear in his heart.

This kind of unparalleled talent made him feel that Yi Shuihan was more suitable to be a director.

Yi Shuihan just smiled and didn't speak, his control of details and rhythm came more from the impression of the original work.

But as for what Xu Zhengqiang said about being a director, Yi Shuihan was noncommittal.

At this time, it is not a new thing for actors to cross borders.

There are countless cases of actors turning into directors, but more often than not, the result is that it starts with an adventure and ends with a bad movie.

Behind the "acting and excellent directing", commercial behavior such as making movies means risk, possible failure and personality collapse for actors who want to transform.

The risks are naturally extremely high, but for Yi Shuihan, he actually had such an idea a long time ago.

The original intention of this idea is still to be able to act better.

Although he has great autonomy as a leading actor, when his ideas and ideas conflict with the director, he still has to obey the director's arrangement.

A lot of times you act out the feeling you want, but after editing, it's not what you want.

Although I don't want to admit it, the director is the heart of a movie.

That's why Yi Shuihan came up with the idea of directing and acting on his own.

This is also the reason why Yi Shuihan needs to have a similar concept to himself when looking for a director.

In the office, Xu Zhengqiang was discussing the matter of the actor with Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan is not only an investor, but also a screenwriter and a starring actor, and is naturally not inferior to Xu Zhengqiang in terms of discourse.

Xu Zhengqiang also has a good grasp of his position.

"The casting is already underway, and I'll tell you about the progress. Xu Zhengqiang said with a smile.

Regarding the role, Yi Shuihan is also very concerned, the quality of the actor is largely related to the quality of the movie, and he will naturally not be sloppy.

"Regarding the selection of the heroine, there are two main highlights, beautiful and pure, and there are many actors who meet these two points," Xu Zhengqiang said: "There are also a lot of audition invitations, but I am most optimistic about Liu Ruiya...... It's just that her salary will be higher. ”

Yi Shuihan was stunned, and the image of Liu Ruiya appeared in his mind, she is very consistent with the mute girl in the play in terms of acting skills and image, and she is really a good choice.

As for the salary, although the dumb girl is the heroine, there are actually not many scenes, even if the salary is high, it is not unacceptable.

For this movie, Yi Shuihan has great ambitions, and the casting is naturally improving.

After pondering for a while, Yi Shuihan nodded and said, "Then focus on observing Liu Ruiya, and I will call her later to communicate with her to see if there is any intention to cooperate." ”

Xu Zhengqiang nodded and said: "Then there is the charter wife and the charter husband and wife, these two are important supporting roles, and the difficulty of the performance is also very great, and it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary actors to control."

I have been in contact with Cheng Shangge and Sun Fei, two old actors in the comedy industry, and they are also very interested in these two characters, and they will come over to talk to us in person in a few days about trying out the play, what do you think? ”

Yi Shuihan naturally has no opinion, if it weren't for Xu Zhengqiang's face, Yi Shuihan wouldn't even invite such an old senior.

Although Yi Shuihan has made some achievements in the field of film, he is a novice in comedy movies, but he is not so attractive.

The two roles of charter man and charter wife seem simple, as if anyone can play them well, but if they want to be vivid and natural, they are impressive, and they can't be completed by non-old actors.

When they first appeared, they were nothing more than middle-aged aunts who cut the door and lewd uncles who were lustful and timid.

The Axe Gang came to provoke, and the aunt fled at a speed comparable to that of a rocket, while the charter man continued to gather the soil and buried his head.

Later, we learned that the charter man and the charter wife were masters of living here, and the tragic death of their son made them disheartened, but they begged for a quiet land and ignored the others.

The most amazing thing is the moment when I can't bear to make a move.

Tai Chi is flowing and the lion roars are majestic.

They came to the Huoyun Evil God in a different way, and said good thoughts and justice to Ah Xing plainly but solemnly, and then practiced it at the cost of their lives.

The style of a master is nothing more than that.

Their role in the whole movie is tantamount to putting the finishing touch, and they are a little relieved to hand over these two roles to the old-timer Yi Shuihan.

Xu Zhengqiang has been immersed in the comedy industry for many years, and with his extensive connections, many roles have general intentions and candidates.

There are also people such as the villain Huoyun Evil God, the protagonist's companion Fat Boy, the beggar who gave the protagonist martial arts cheats, and the two blind people who are crippled and have preliminary candidates.

Yi Shuihan roughly considered it, Xu Zhengqiang's vision is still trustworthy.

As soon as he came, he solved the problem of the vast majority of candidates, which made Yi Shuihan breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as you wait for these people to come and try the play, you can basically be sure.

But there are still many roles that are not suitable for the right people.

For example, the distinctive bucktooth Jane.

There aren't many scenes in this one, but it's surprisingly impressive.

The curling figure, the coquettish and beautiful daughter's normality, and the extraordinarily outstanding buckteeth, these seemingly contradictory attributes are gathered in one person.

She is not a beauty, but when she was the first to stand up and quarrel with the charter wife for the three masters, she was unparalleled in momentum and affection.

and the extra cute sauce explosion.

He looked stupid, his expression was wooden, his appearance was not good, and he showed half of his ass every time he appeared.

It looks like a harlequin, but he doesn't eat hard and soft, and he doesn't have any expression when he is threatened.

At this time, you realize that where is the stupidity, just like the always condescending eyes of the housekeeper played by Huang Yifei in "The Judge of the Dead", who was cold and hard for no reason, mixed with a slight mockery.

This character is perhaps the most anticipated one.

If you want to play this role well, to be honest, the most important thing is the temperament that fits.

This is also the reason why Yi Shuihan is preparing for the audition, not to choose the famous, not to choose the good acting skills, only to choose the most suitable.

There are also the three masters who live in seclusion in the pig cage village, and these actors are even more difficult to find.

If you find some actors who don't even have a foundation in martial arts, it will only become a joke.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan and the others were not in a hurry, and everything was going according to plan.
