Chapter 74: Identifying the Actors
"Thank you director, thank you director"
Li Qingfeng nodded, waved his hand and said softly: "The opportunity is earned by yourself, sit here, let's interview for the next role together, Brother Dao"
Brother Dao is one of the three jade thieves in the play,
Brother Dao - the leader of a three-person theft team, he is not ambiguous when he should be ruthless.
Xiaojun - follow Brother Dao, clever
Black skin - follow Brother Dao, more impulsive, carry a hammer with him, and think about it when something doesn't go his way
Each has its own characteristics, but they are all indispensable characters for movies.
Bang bang bang~
After the knock on the door, they were pushed away by the staff, and a middle-aged man followed him into the house.
There was a little nervousness on his wrinkled face, and the clothes on his body were not high-end clothes, although they were clean, they still showed a little shabby.
Li Qingfeng didn't have much impression of this person, and at first glance, he knew that it was an actor found by Wei Yuanxing.
"Hello director, my name is Jiang Wentao"
Jiang Wentao could see who was the leader at a glance, and although he was a little surprised by Li Qingfeng's age, he still greeted him very respectfully.
There was no small talk this time, Li Qingfeng and Jiang Wentao casually exchanged a few polite words, and then directly asked the other party to start performing.
"Let's start the audition now, this time you play an old thief who has been in the mix for twenty years, but still has nothing to do, and is mixed in the lower echelons of society.
You're wandering the streets this morning and you've seen a middle-aged tyrant coming out of a BMW with a thick purse pinned to his ass pocket.
Ready to get started"
Jiang Wentao nodded lightly after hearing Li Qingfeng's words, groaned slightly, gritted his teeth and slapped his face a few times, then shook his head, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and his eyes slowly began to change.
Li Qingfeng didn't seem strange when he saw this scene, very actors have some quirks, this is just more alternative, and the faces of the few people sitting there are no reactions on their faces, just waiting for his performance.
Jiang Wentao turned his head again, his temperament completely changed, and an old Jianghu atmosphere of eating mixed rice on the rivers and lakes instantly came to his face.
With a bit of ruthlessness and cunning on his face, he stared at Wei Yuanxing with a straight look in his eyes, as if he had seen some excellent prey, and the excited light in his eyes made people instantly perceive this person's mood.
But then, as if he had discovered something, Jiang Wentao's eyes slowly became calm and turned into an honest look, but only the eyes that looked up from time to time could discover the hidden fierceness.
"Stop"
Li Qingfeng nodded in admiration, this kind of acting skills is really outstanding, it seems that no matter what industry, there are many buried talents.
And looking at this Jiang Wentao's dress, it is definitely not a very good mix.
"Very good, you have already read the script first, if you have no objections, the role of Brother Dao will be decided for you to play"
When Xu Linzhi heard Li Qingfeng's words, his face instantly floated with great joy, at the age of forty, he just wanted to support his family, and he didn't pick about movies.
He is not like Huang Bo because there is a trace of hesitation in the pursuit of art, for a middle-aged man like him, such an opportunity will never be given up.
"No problem director, I'm absolutely fine"
In his previous life, Ning Hao filmed "Crazy Stone" because the crew had no money, and the investment was compressed to the extreme, and he couldn't even afford professional shooting equipment.
Most of the investment of 3.5 million yuan was used in movies, not to mention the remuneration of actors, all of which were very low salaries.
However, Li Qingfeng has no worries about funds, so the salary for the role of Brother Dao is 100,000.
Don't underestimate these 100,000, it is definitely a huge amount for an unknown actor, not everyone in the entertainment industry can reach millions of salaries.
The people at the top of the pyramid are always a minority, and there are countless talents like this that are not buried.
"Okay, you sit down first, let's audition for the next role together, the chief of the security section, Bao Shihong"
......
With the passage of time, the casting this time should be perfect, and all the characters are slowly getting together.
And Wei Yuanhang called more than 30 people to audition, and in the end there were less than 10 people left, and these people were all important roles in it.
Li Qingfeng was a little impressed by Wei Yuanxing, the actors called this time had good acting skills, and they were indeed vicious.
Seeing that the room was almost full, Li Qingfeng stood up and said with a little smile on his face: "From today onwards, we will be comrades in the trench."
I have polished the script of this movie countless times, and I hope you can complete this movie with me.
So this time, let's complete this movie together and make it a classic that has left a strong mark on Chinese film and television.
Downstairs tonight, let's rub it first, and then rush directly to the mountain city tomorrow, all our scenes need to be filmed in the mountain city."
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, no matter what his personal thoughts are, he applauded, even if he didn't believe that a movie with an investment of five million could be made into a classic, there was no need to dismantle the stage, they were all people who had been mixed up for so many years, and this bit of human accident was still understood.
And when the words of the last rubbing were spoken, everyone's smiles were a little sincere.
Most of the people who can be called by Wei Yuanxing to audition are small actors who are not too famous, not to mention poor, but they are far from the level of having a big meal in a five-star hotel every day.
There were a total of 19 actors and crew, and a private room was opened with two tables just full.
It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be served.
In the jokes and flattery of several actors with high emotional intelligence, coupled with the catalysis of alcohol, the atmosphere slowly became warmer.
Fortunately, Li Qingfeng said it first, he doesn't drink, and as a director and investor, others don't dare to go too far, and they all stop at the point.
But Wei Yuanhang and Wei Yuanxing were pulled out as targets, and they were already poured out after a few rounds.
In a lively environment, a group of people finished a meal.
Li Qingfeng got out of the hotel surrounded by a group of people, and Wei Yuanxing and the two had already been helped to the guest room to rest, and no one could pick them up and call a taxi.
Li Qingfeng returned home with three points of drunkenness, and Zhao Ailian, who was still watching TV, chuckled: "Dad, Mom, I haven't slept yet."
Zhao Ailian's face was a little unhappy and said, "Hmph, do you still know to come back?"
Li Qingfeng exuded the smell of alcohol all over his body, walked a few steps and sat down next to Zhao Ailian, and whispered: "Mom, I told you last time, this movie is our real money invested in it, if the actors are not selected today, then we don't have to do it."
Zhao Ailian wrinkled her nose when she smelled the smell of wine, and said with a little unhappiness: "Then don't do it."
Li Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Mom, I'm an adult, I know you're not at ease, but I can't be protected by you forever.
Don't you always educate me that good men are ambitious? Why are you worried again?
Don't worry, no matter how big you are, it's not your son, and you can't become your own social, so it's not your son.
Relax, you don't want your son to embarrass you, you also know that not only on the Internet, but also how many of your colleagues are jealous of us, how many people are waiting to see our jokes, are we just going to be laughed at by others for nothing?
It's impossible, it's only refreshing to slap them in the face with the best results, and then you can say, hey, my son doesn't have any skills, he just sang a few songs and earned tens of millions, made a movie, won a few awards, and a box office of hundreds of millions, it's really nothing."
