After receiving Fan Jianchuan's call, Zhang Ran and Huo Tingxiao quickly rushed to the Jianchuan Museum in Dayi, Xichuan with several crew artists and props masters to select props.

In the Jianchuan Museum, Zhang Ran really opened his eyes, enamel tea trays, enamel cups, mirror frames, stationery boxes, wallets and other items from the 70s of the last century, covering a wide range of things, covering almost all aspects of people's lives at that time. Even Huo Tingxiao, a well-informed art director, is stupid, much richer than the movie props factory!

In the end, Huo Tingxiao cracked a long list and packed two containers of props to be shipped to the set in Tangshan.

The most difficult thing in the movie to get all kinds of life props has been satisfactorily solved, as for all kinds of vehicles, such as Volga, buses, sprinkler trucks, fire trucks and other museums do not have, you can only find another way.

After returning from Xichuan, Zhang Ran continued to prepare for the film while taking classes. Liu Heng's fifth draft script was recognized by everyone, and the crew began to secretly carry out casting work.

In Zhang Ran's original conception, there was only one line of heroine Yu Hong, Yu Hong took her daughter Li Xuefei in the field during the earthquake, and then she took her daughter all the way back to Tangshan, met all kinds of people on the way, and rescued her son from the ruins. After Liu Heng wrote the story, everyone felt that the story was relatively thin, so they added the line of sister-in-law Li Na, but everyone was still not satisfied. After that, Liu Heng wrote two more drafts, but they still failed to meet the requirements. Until Liu Heng met a person who had a similar experience to Yu Hong, after listening to her story, Liu Heng added another line, Yu Hong's brother-in-law, he is a PLA soldier who participated in disaster relief. The three lines reflect the state of people when the earthquake arrives from different angles, and at the end of the film, the three lines intersect to work together to rescue Yu Hong's youngest son from the rubble.

In this way, there are three protagonists in the story, namely Yu Hong, Li Na, and Li Jie, among which Yu Hong has already been finalized to be played by Zhang Jingchu, she has been preparing for this play for more than half a year, and now there is no problem for her to enter the group directly.

The character Li Na has just gotten married, almost twenty-three or four years old, and the girls in the 01 form are almost all of this age, so they don't need to go outside to choose someone at all, Zhang Ran finally chose Wang Luodan. chose Wang Luodan because she was expelled by Zhao Baogang and lost the role of Milai in "Struggle"; 【】

As for Li Jie, Zhang Ran decided to let Ji Chen play it. Ji Chen's image and temperament are more suitable for the role, and his acting skills are also passable. Zhang Ran is very clear about his ability, and he can play the role of Li Jie well. Of course, this also has Zhang Ran's bad taste in it, Wang Luodan and Ji Chen are a couple, and it's fun to let them play brother and sister.

The movie also has a very important role, the driver of the car that Yu Hong took when she returned to Tangshan. Yu Hong knew that after the Tangshan earthquake, she wanted to go home, but there were no passenger trains anymore, and the railway was not open at all. She stopped the car on the side of the road, and happened to meet the bicycle factory's car pulling calcium carbide. The driver was an acquaintance, so Yu Hong got into the car and went home. I didn't expect the car to stop and go all the way to Tangshan for 24 hours.

The driver is in his thirties, and the role is quite heavy, Zhang Ran's first thought is Hu Jun, his image and acting skills are fine. However, Zhang Ran didn't know if Hu Jun had a schedule, after all, Hu Jun was very popular now, so he called: "Brother Jun, is there a schedule in July?" I have a role here that suits you very well, and I want you to play it!"

Hu Jun knew that Zhang Ran was preparing for the earthquake recently, this is a big drama that the whole country is concerned about, I don't know how many people are fighting for it, and Zhang Ran asked himself about the schedule, it must be an important role, and immediately said: "In August, Feng Xiaoning wants me to play the TV series "Zhu Yuanzhang", if you have a suitable role there, then I will push Feng Xiaoning's play." ”

Zhang Ran really felt that this play was suitable for Hu Jun, so he said: "Male No. 2, a very important role, you can play it!"

When Hu Jun heard the male number two, he laughed: "No problem, wait a minute, I'll call Feng Xiaoning and push his play." ”

Zhang Ran didn't say much more: "I'll pass the script to you in a while, and we'll find a time to talk." ”

The real troublesome character in the movie is Yu Hong's daughter, in addition to being cute, the little girl must not only be cute, but more importantly, she must see stubbornness and tenacity in her, and she must look very sensible.

In order to find a child who fits the role, Zhang Ran really took a lot of trouble, starting from December, he sent six director teams to various cities, and took many videos of children to show him. So far, Zhang Ran has watched the video of three or four thousand children, but he has never found the child he wants.

At this time, the assistant director of the Beiping Group made another batch of videos of children, which were being reviewed by Zhang Ran. He stared at the TV for less than a second before shaking his head: "This can't work, pass!"

The assistant director immediately pressed the fast-forward button on the remote control, and he did not press the play button again until another child appeared in the frame.

Zhang Ran only glanced at it and said, "Pass!"

The assistant director hurried forward.

"No, pass!"

"It's been over!"

"Hey, over!"

……

The tape is about to be put on the end, and there is still no child who satisfies Zhang Ran.

The assistant director sighed slightly, it seems that he is going to work in vain again, Zhang Ran's requirements are too high, and he doesn't know where to find the right candidate.

In order to find these children, he really worked hard, looking for relationships, asking acquaintances, inviting people to dinner, and doing it all. In this way, when going to each school, the school leaders and teachers cooperated. He chose class by class. Looking from the back to the front, the one who fancies is called out of the corridor to record a paragraph. The conditions of these children are very good, but Zhang Ran just glanced at it and denied it, he was really a little hit.

After sighing, the assistant director waited for Zhang Ran to say "pass", but to his surprise, after more than ten seconds, Zhang Ran didn't shout, and continued to stare at the screen. The assistant director couldn't help but be shocked, is there a play?

Zhang Ran looked at the little girl on the screen carefully, and it wasn't until she finished introducing herself that she said, "Rewind the lens of this child, I want to see it again!"

The assistant director was overjoyed, quickly rewinded, and then replayed.

Like everyone, the content of the video is an introduction to the basic information, including name, age, where you are from, etc., and then take a circle of the front, side, and back to see if there is a problem with the body. However, the little girl on the screen is very beautiful, unlike other children, the little girl's eyes are particularly bright, and the whole person has a heroic spirit.

After the little girl's self-introduction was completed, Zhang Ran nodded: "This kid is quite compliant, his eyes are good, he is native to Beiping, right?"

The assistant director smiled bitterly: "I don't know if it's local, I haven't asked, but she is studying in Beiping." ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "Then you contact the child's parents and ask them to take the child to the peak of the century on Saturday, and let her try the play to see if it works." ”

The audition was scheduled for Saturday morning, and because it was a child's audition, Zhang Ran did not let Zhao Fei and them attend. A bunch of uncles are sitting there, with a straight face, and inexperienced children are often scared, and what kind of mirror are they trying on!

At the appointed time, a young couple walked in with a cute little girl.

Zhang Ran smiled and beckoned them to sit down, chatted briefly with the young couple, and asked about the basic situation of the family. Next, he looked at the little girl and said with a smile: "Little sister, what is your name, how old are you for a few years?"

The little girl looked at Zhang Ran, her big eyes flashed: "My name is Song Zhu'er, I am seven years old this year, but I will be eight years old soon!"

Zhang Ran felt that this child was very generous, and nodded with a smile: "Eight years old, that's a big friend." Do you often participate in cultural activities at school, such as dancing, singing, etc.?"

Song Zhu'er showed a very bright smile: "I am a member of the Literature and Art Committee, I have danced a lot, and I have also acted in TV dramas!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, it turned out that he had acting experience, which is a good thing. Children who have had acting experience will at least not be afraid of the camera and will not stare at the camera when acting, which can save a lot of trouble. He smiled and asked, "Then what TV series have you acted in?"

Song Zhu'er thought for a while, looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, what is the name of the TV series I played?

Song Zhu'er's mother gave a brief introduction to Song Zhu'er's experience in film, and in 04 she played a nursery rhyme in her first TV series in "The Sea is Wide and the Sky is High". In 05, she starred in "Secret Order 1949" and "Love in Qingcheng".

Zhang Ran heard that the little girl had already acted in three plays, and knew that she was a young actor with some experience, so she didn't need to coax Zheng Xiaoshuang like she taught at the beginning, so she said directly: "Then can you play a part for me?"

Song Zhu'er raised her head, her eyes shining: "Then what am I playing?"

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said: "Play a crying scene, how to act, I don't ask for the specific content, you can act how you want, as long as you can cry!"

Song Zhu'er thought about it, her eyes suddenly became dull, and then tears rolled down, she grabbed her mother's arm and asked in a somewhat trembling voice: "Mom, don't leave me!"

The mother patted her head gently and comforted, "No, Mom won't leave you!"

Song Zhu'er hugged her mother's arm tightly and cried: "Mom, don't leave me! If you don't want me anymore, what should I do?"

Zhang Ran was very surprised, this kid was really good at acting, and couldn't help but applaud: "It's great, it's very good!" He looked at Song Zhu'er and said, "Now let's change the scene, I'm the big villain, I snatched your doll, I threw your doll on the ground and stepped on it, and now I'm looking at me with the eyes of a villain!"

Song Zhu'er frowned, glared at Zhang Ran, her eyes were full of tears, and her little face was full of grievances and grievances. Her eyebrows are very handsome, with a sense of stubbornness, especially when she is angry.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran had already determined that this child was the actor he wanted, but he didn't make a decision immediately, and after that, he conducted several tests to assess the little girl in an all-round way, and Song Zhuer also performed very well.

Zhang Ran smiled and applauded: "It's great, what a smart kid." Yes, both of you may have heard that we are working on a movie about the earthquake recently. I need a child to play the daughter of me and Zhang Jingchu, it's a very important role, I think your daughter is more suitable, I don't know if you want your daughter to play?"

Song Zhu'er's parents all smiled, being able to play in Zhang Ran's movie, and it was an important role, it was like a dream for them, and they nodded one after another: "Yes, of course we do." ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "If you are willing to let the child act, then we will arrange for the teacher to conduct some training for her, performance training, and Tangshan dialect training." I don't know if you parents have any questions, if not, then the matter can be settled!"

Song Zhu'er's parents glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, we believe in you!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Okay, then the matter is settled!" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
