A few weeks later.

The actors who should be invited have all signed contracts and arranged in place.

These designated by Li Zhifan are all domestic actor-level veteran actors, and as for the level of fame, it is not within the scope of his consideration.

In addition, for the female lead, he once again chose his old partner Qi Feiling, who has worked with him many times.

Qi Feiling is also an "old artist" in her thirties now, and she has also starred in many low-budget humanities films over the years, and has cooperated with domestic directors many times.

Last year, he was nominated for the "Cannes International Film Festival Actress" and the "Busan Film Festival KNN Audience Choice Award".

This also made her status greatly improved in the entertainment industry, and she was no longer Qi Feiling who acted in idol dramas when she debuted.

However, while she is full of honors, she also has her own troubles, that is, marriage events.

At present, Qi Feiling does not have a boyfriend, but she has reached the period of mother's love and wants a baby very much.

Not only her family, but even fans urged her to force her to marry under her fast blog.

There was no way, Qi Feiling had to use her busy work to force herself not to be idle and worry about these, and believed that when fate should come, it would naturally come.

When she received Li Zhifan's invitation, Qi Feiling directly agreed, because the schedule was just right, she would rather sacrifice all her rest time than hear anyone urging her to marry.

On the day of the audition.

Many actors have been featured in Oriental Entertainment.

In the huge VIP room, Li Zhifan checked the actors' understanding of the roles they played one by one.

Whether it's the starring role or the supporting role, it's the same.

"Biaozi, your character is a chronic leukemia patient, although you are thin enough, but you are still too strong, I hope that when the filming starts, I will not see any muscles on your body!"

At this time, Li Zhifan was talking about the character requirements of the Biao.

Fu Biao wants to play Lu Yingying, this is a terminally ill person, and it is impossible to be as strong as Fu Biao now.

He has the same requirements for all actors, even Fu Biao, if it doesn't work, he will be replaced.

"Don't worry, I'll get what you're looking for!"

Fu Biao patted his chest and assured that he was not ambiguous for a moment, "I am ready, I will walk to Tibet once, and I will only take 10,000 yuan on my body, and I will ...... when I come back."

"Do you want me to make this drama again the year after tomorrow?"

Li Zhifan interrupted him, "I can only give you two months, and this drama will start filming in two months, you can think about it yourself and plan it again!"

"Okay!"

Fu Biao didn't make any embarrassed expressions, and nodded directly in agreement.

Qi Feiling, who had been waiting for a long time, saw everything in her eyes and walked over with a smile: "Oh, Director Li, your criteria for selecting actors this time are so harsh!?"

"yes!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "I also want to go to Cannes and Busan to win awards!"

"Haha, Director Li, you're making fun of me!"

Qi Feiling sneered, "Hey, my role has been studied, do you want to take a look?"

"You're waiting a while!"

Li Zhifan didn't give her a chance to open the back door, "Everyone has been waiting for so long, you go over there to rest for a while!"

"Okay!"

Qi Feiling was not embarrassed, and said helplessly, "Then I'll wait for you!"

However, this was a whole day, and in the end, Qi Feiling fell asleep directly on the sofa.

In fact, Li Zhifan asked the assistant to call Qi Feiling many times in the middle of the way, but she may have been too sleepy and never woke up.

After sending off the last actor, Li Zhifan returned and called her in person.

"Hey, wake up, Fei Ling!"

Li Zhifan pushed her several times, and Qi Feiling finally woke up.

"Hmm!"

She opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw that it was dark outside, she was surprised, "Ah, why is it all like this?"

"It's too dead to not sleep!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!"

"That'...... What about the characters?"

Qi Feiling yawned and rubbed her eyes and said.

"Let's talk while eating! I haven't eaten for a day, I'm dying of hunger, go, go!"

Under Li Zhifan's pull, Qi Feiling finally stood up and followed Li Zhifan with great reluctance - she still wanted to sleep, and she really wanted to sleep until she was old, during this time, she was really tired.

Outside the door.

Qi Feiling's agents and assistants are still waiting.

Seeing them, Qi Feiling was even more surprised: "Are you still there?

"Nope!"

They answered honestly.

"Let's go!"

Qi Feiling said with a smile, "Slaughtered Director Li today and made him bleed heavily!"

The agents and assistants couldn't laugh and cry, and didn't dare to agree, but they all followed.

The group picked the nearest restaurant, ordered some random dishes, and began to eat and drink.

Li Zhifan is really hungry, people are iron rice and steel, and he is hungry if he doesn't eat a meal, not to mention that he has been busy all day today, and the pressure is very high.

"How's your character?"

During the banquet, Li Zhifan asked Qi Feiling.

The role she played was Liu Sihui, a single mother, who did not hesitate to commit herself to her daughter's treatment, which became the key to the male protagonist Cheng Yong's drug trafficking channel.

She is a hot pole dancer on the stage, a strong single mother in life, and the leader of a group of chronic leukemia patients.

"I've got a pole dancing teacher, so I'm ready to learn!"

Qi Feiling said, "I have a foundation in dancing, but I haven't danced for so many years, and I'm so old, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it!"

"Don't say you can't adapt to it, what I want is that I have to dance well!"

Li Zhifan said, "What about single mothers?"

"Single Mom ......"

Qi Feiling said with a bitter face, "I haven't been a mother either!" I can only find inspiration from other film and television dramas. ”

"So be it!"

Li Zhifan said, "I'll take that little actor directly to you for a few days, you can eat and live with her, and feel it together!"

"Okay!"

When Qi Feiling heard this, she immediately agreed, so that she could experience life profoundly.

But she was worried, "That'...... Will her family agree?"

"Yes!"

Li Zhifan smiled and showed a mysterious look.

Qi Feiling's eyes rolled, and suddenly she suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Huh, it can't be a little cherry, right?"

"Hmm? What do you ...... You guessed right!"

Li Zhifan spread his hands and continued to smile, "Yes, I'm going to let her give it a try, anyway, there are not a few scenes." ”

"Look, what am I talking about, my head, guessing things is never eight or nine!"

Qi Feiling was triumphant, "For this, do you have to punish a glass of wine?"

"Okay, I can't fight you!"

Li Zhifan picked up the wine glass, "Come, let's go together!"

After eating, Li Zhifan has already understood Qi Feiling's understanding of the role of Liu Sihui, in general, she is a talented and skilled actor, and she doesn't have to worry about not playing this role, the only difficulty is probably the pole dancing scene.

But since you have dancing skills, it should be no problem to get back the feeling you left behind.

Meal.

Li Zhifan sent Qi Feiling back to the hotel.

Along the way, the two of them were still chatting about the script, and the topic continued from the table just now to the car, but they still didn't have a good time, Qi Feiling directly waved his hand, and said like a man: "Let's go, let's talk upstairs, I still have a little idea......"

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan didn't think about it, and he didn't notice anything inappropriate, so he followed directly upstairs.

"I think your character design is wrong!"

Qi Feiling said, "What makes Cheng Yong willing to risk his life to sell counterfeit medicines? I'm afraid it's not just money, right? I think there should also be emotional lines, for example, you accidentally know that your girlfriend or ex-girlfriend also has this disease?"

"Impossible, the character design of the ex-girlfriend is because of Cheng Yong, who left with money, so he was stimulated to make a lot of money!"

Li Zhifan shook his head and said, "Look at the plot in the middle, after making money, Cheng Yong opened a garment workshop, and he is very satisfied, this is a typical businessman's psychology, selling generic drugs is because it is profitable, once it is satisfied, and under such a big risk, he will withdraw immediately!"

"That's right!"

While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of Qi Feiling's room.

She opened the door and said, "Come in and sit!"

After observing the layout of the house, Li Zhifan sat on the sofa generously.

Qi Feiling took a bottle of wine, took out two goblets from the table, poured half a glass each, continued the content of the script, and asked: "I saw that there was a scene in it, it was Liu Sihui and Cheng Yong, the two of them were in Liu Sihui's house, they were supposed to do that kind of thing, but why did Cheng Yong refuse? He had already entered the house, and half of his clothes were taken off, why didn't he continue?"

While Qi Feiling threw out this question, she also wanted to use her own point of view to change the scene: "I think the two of them should be thorough, so that Cheng Yong has a new reason, for Liu Sihui's daughter, he can take risks, and with so many patients begging him, he is more willing to fight hard." ”

"No, no, no!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Although it is not written in the script, I know how this scene is played and how to arrange it, in fact, since Liu Sihui invited Cheng Yong to her house in the middle of the night, he has already guessed what Liu Sihui wants to do." The reason why he still went was because of the relationship during this period, which made him have some good feelings for Liu Sihui, so after coming to Liu Sihui's house, when Liu Sihui said that he was going to take a bath, Cheng Yong chose to take off his clothes without hesitation. ”

"That's right!"

Qi Feiling spread her hands, "Then why do you want to arrange the scene where you bump into your daughter who is not sleeping? The two can obviously come to see their sleeping daughter together after they are done, and then in front of Liu Sihui, Cheng Yong promised her that she will definitely do something for this daughter, isn't it better to design like this?"

"Didn't you read the script at the end?"

Li Zhifan finished drinking a cup and continued to pour a cup, "Yes, Cheng Yong bumped into his daughter who wasn't asleep, but don't you think it's strange? Why did this little daughter see a stranger, but she didn't react at all and just chose to go back to the house by herself?"

Qi Feiling shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"After that, Liu Sihui came out and unconsciously told Cheng Yong that her daughter sleeps softly, don't make too much noise, for fear of waking her up, you should understand this, right?" Li Zhifan asked again.

"I don't know!"

Qi Feiling still shook her head, "Does it matter?"

"Cheng Yong is not stupid, he is a smart person, through these details, he can judge that he is not the first man to come to this house!" Li Zhifan said.

"Nonsense, she had a husband, ......"

Qi Feiling subconsciously spoke, but immediately changed her expression again, frowned, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way!"

Li Zhifan began to patiently analyze her: "First of all, the little girl didn't react when she saw Cheng Yong, maybe she had already been used to it, Liu Sihui told Cheng Yong to be quiet, maybe she was very experienced before, so she was afraid of waking up her sleeping daughter." ”

"Ahh

Qi Feiling was extremely surprised, and suddenly reacted at this time, it turned out that the role she played still had such a meaning.

I couldn't help but tremble and asked, "You said yes...... Liu Sihui, uh, it's hard for her to meet the expenses of her daughter's treatment just by pole dancing in a nightclub, so she has extra money?"

Qi Feiling had already tried to be as tactful as possible.

It was precisely because she thought of this that she suddenly reacted, and there was a plot later, that is, Cheng Yong took everyone to a nightclub, but in that scene that day, the general manager of the nightclub who suddenly appeared was very contemptuous of Liu Sihui, I am afraid not only because she is a subordinate and a dancing girl, but because she ...... Dirty?

"Yes!"

Li Zhifan nodded, "Of course, Cheng Yong is not because he dislikes her for doing this, but because he knows that if something happens to him and Liu Sihui tonight, then he will be no different from those scumbags, and his relationship with Liu Sihui and others will also deteriorate." ”

"Maybe he chose to buy and sell drugs in India just to make money, but after getting along with each other subsequently, Cheng Yong has developed sympathy and affection for these people. The angry nightclub manager is one of the reflections of Cheng Yong's reaction, Lu Yingying and Liu Sihui are no longer subordinates and followers in Cheng Yong's eyes, but brothers and sisters. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhifan had another drink, he really admired this story, and also admired the character of Cheng Yong, and then said: "So this is one of the reasons why he later changed his mentality and took the risk to continue selling medicine!"

"I see!"

After hearing this, Qi Feiling was deeply shocked, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that I want to be simple, but in fact, feelings are not only love, friends, brothers, and relatives...... This can all be emotional lines. ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhifan said, "And if it only stays superficially at the level of love between men and women, and Cheng Yong really has something to do with Liu Sihui, then when Cheng Yong sells the agency to the profiteer Zhang Changlin, no matter what the reason, Liu Sihui will definitely turn against Cheng Yong." On the contrary, nothing happened to the two of them, so in this matter, although Liu Sihui opposed it in her bones, she finally respected Cheng Yong's choice, because she knew that Cheng Yong did not owe her anything. ”

"Wow!"

After hearing this, Qi Feiling not only gave a thumbs up, "The layout of this story is really unusual. ”

She rolled her eyes, looked at Li Zhifan and asked, "So...... Outside of the movie, Director Li, are you a superficial person?"
