As Lin Zixuan said, Mi Jiashan has a headache about the selection of the three protagonists of the movie.
In this era, the kind of actors who are upright and positive at first glance are welcomed by the audience, which is related to the current situation of Chinese films.
In the past few years, all the films were made with the theme of heroism, promoting the fearless revolutionary spirit.
Later, the popular scars, the protagonists are all bookish and handsome young people, who are particularly deep and melancholy at first glance.
Many grassroots-looking actors have no chance to get ahead, so they can only keep playing tricks.
There's no way, no crew dares to use such an actor as the protagonist of the movie, and the audience doesn't like to watch it.
Mi Jiashan was casting in the capital, and he didn't make much noise, but just shouted among acquaintances in the Beijing film circle.
In the past few years, there has been no press conference, or scandals and hype.
What's more, the investment in this film is not large, and Bashan Film Studio does not support it much, he can be regarded as a solo and independent producer.
In this way, everyone doesn't know much about this movie, and the actors who come to participate in the casting are actors who play the leading roles in other movies, which naturally does not meet Mi Jiashan's requirements.
There are three main actors and two important actresses in "The Stubborn Master".
Mi Jiashan found an actor who had worked with him in Rongcheng before, this person is called Zhang Guoli, which can be regarded as a solution.
Although Lin Zixuan lives in the capital, he doesn't know the entertainment industry in the capital, and he has no good introduction, so he can only help the staff officers.
At this time, the casting of the crew is all about the actors handing in a handwritten resume and a photo, there is no video or anything, the director asks the actors to perform the content of a script, and determines whether it can be used on the spot.
Everyone doesn't play with fiction and waste time.
Lin Zixuan, as the screenwriter of the movie, will go to the casting site to see it when he has time, but he generally does not express his opinion.
The main thing is that I don't understand this and don't want to make a mess of people.
He was a little bored and looked at the information handed in by the actors, from which it can be seen that Huaguo has filmed those film and television works in the past few years, and some actors have even run tricks in more than a dozen crews.
He inadvertently saw a photograph of three people together, and the person at the very edge of the photo caught his eye.
Lin Zixuan found that this world was very similar to his world, even people.
For example, Zhang Guoli from Rongcheng, and the person in this photo.
He took the photo to Mi Jiashan and pointed out this person, and he felt that this person could play one of the three leading roles.
Mi Jiashan looked at it and thought it was good, so he called according to the number on his resume.
When I asked, I found out that this person didn't come to the interview at all, but his friend came to the interview, and there was no single photo, so he handed in a group photo of the three of them, but he didn't expect to be favored by the director like this.
In the afternoon, the man came to the studio, which the crew had rented temporarily.
"Hello director, my name is Ge You, you can call me You Zi. A middle-aged man in his thirties said sincerely.
Ge You has been in the Beijing entertainment industry for several years, and he never thought of being a leading actor, and he didn't know if this crew or his friend informed him that he hurried over.
Mi Jiashan nodded to Lin Zixuan, worthy of being the author and knowing the characteristics of the characters in his novels.
As soon as he looked at Ge You's image, he was basically sure.
This is not to say how bad Ge You's image is, but from the physiognomy to give people a very simple feeling, this kind of person can often make people laugh quietly.
He felt like he was talking seriously, but the audience couldn't help but laugh.
It's a waste not to act in comedy for this kind of image.
Mi Jiashan asked Ge You to read a line with an expressionless face, but before Ge You finished reading, the people around him were happy.
The crew signed a performance contract with Ge You on the spot, with a salary of 800 yuan, and two meals during filming.
This is the treatment of the starring role in "The Stubborn Master", and the same is true for Zhang Guoli, there is no chartered car, no assistant, and no special preferential treatment.
Ge You was a little excited, and said thank you vigorously, he had never received such a high salary, it was good to be able to get dozens of yuan in the past, and there may not always be filming.
In this era, the salary of Chinese actors is about the same, even if it is a famous actor, it is at this price.
If it is an actor inside the studio, he can only get a salary and bonuses.
The salary is a dead salary, and it is only hundreds of yuan, the bonus depends on the box office of the movie, and the bonus will be paid if the movie makes money, and if the movie does not make money, the actor can only get a salary no matter how many movies he makes.
Now to invigorate the economy, many actors come out to find work by themselves when there is no filming in the factory, so that the salary will be higher.
"The Stubborn Master" is the best example, the starring role is 800 yuan, and the important supporting roles range from 300 to 500 yuan.
Lin Zixuan took 300 yuan for writing the script, and the money could not be settled until the filming was completed, and he couldn't get it for the time being.
On the second day, I found another leading actor, who worked in the Beijing Garment Factory, and ran tricks in the crew in his free time, called Liang Tian, and his face was also more peculiar.
The three leading actors are in place, and the preparation progress is much faster, and in mid-October, Mi Jiashan is ready to start.
Before the start-up, the main creators of "The Stubborn Master" had a meal together to let everyone get to know each other.
These people are from the Bashan Film Studio in Rongcheng, and there are also locals in Beijing, and if they want to shoot this film together in the next few months, they need to have a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
Zhang Guoli and the two actresses have good works, while Ge You and Liang Tian have been playing tricks.
However, when it comes to the original Beijing flavor performance, Ge You and Liang Tian, who are from Beijing, are more likely to understand the stubborn ruffianism.
Lin Zixuan also participated in the dinner, he was a native of the capital, and he was closer to Ge You.
"Xiaolin, I heard from Mi Dao, you found me from the photo, thank you for not saying it, let's go one." Ge You held his wine glass, looking a little drunk.
"Don't say that, it's gold that always shines, this is your good time, and it will be more developed in the future. Lin Zixuan and Ge You touched their glasses and drank them all.
"I've taken your good word. Ge You pulled Lin Zixuan to speak, "Your book is well written, it is the taste of our old capital, a unique life, there will be a chance in the future, but don't forget my brother." ”
"Okay, we're done. Lin Zixuan said happily.
Lin Zixuan drank a lot of wine this time, a little high, he took the bus home, pushed open the door and saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa, it was Mu Shanshan.
"Why do you drink so much?" Mu Shanshan got up, pulled Lin Zixuan to the sofa and sat down, and complained.
She picked up the cup on the coffee table, went to the kitchen, poured a cup of hot tea from the tea bottle, and brought it back.
"Who would have thought that the people of Rongcheng drank so much, I still have to pretend to be drunk to come back alive to watch TV with you, otherwise I really can't bear it, the time is almost up." Lin Zixuan complained.
"There are still ten minutes, and they are really, so they can't drink less. Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.
Today is Sunday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, "Fangda Variety Show" hosted by Mu Shanshan was rebroadcast on the TV station's comprehensive channel.
This show premiered on the Economic Channel last night, and the two didn't have time to watch it together, so they will make up for it now.
When the time came, the opening of the show began to be played on the TV, the two sat on the sofa, leaning together, Mu Shanshan took a sip of the teacup, it didn't feel too hot, and handed it to Lin Zixuan. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
