Closing the script, most of the day has passed.

I looked up at him, waiting for his response. And I already have a certain number in my heart, that is, I must shoot.

"I agree with you to shoot." Twilight didn't disappoint me and respected my inner thoughts, "However, I have a request. ”

"What?" A heart that had just fallen hung up again.

"You can't be in the show." Twilight spoke slowly, and I was surprised.

"Why?"

"There's no why." This time, Twilight didn't answer properly. Put the script aside. Pull me out and finish dinner with Uncle Liu's family.

Uncle Liu was very happy when he learned that we were sure to make this film. He also expressed his support for Twilight's only request, and it was Uncle Liu's words that gradually sobered me up.

Twilight is more thoughtful than I thought.

In short, he didn't want me to be too tired. The characters themselves are both physical and psychological, and I'm not just an actor driving the film, I'm more like a producer or director.

After much deliberation, I finally agreed to his only request.

We only stayed in City H for one day and one night, and we rushed back to City A the next day.

Three hundred and twenty-one

About this movie, Twilight and I basically have a certain consensus.

He said that investment is an indispensable backing, and I am bound to be the director who will take the lead. But I didn't have any experience after all, and in the end we naturally thought of someone - Lan Zhiyuan.

After returning home, the two of us went directly to Lan Zhiyuan's house, he did not express his attitude directly, but took the script and studied it.

The next morning, Lan Zhiyuan gave a clear answer that he could accept this cooperation.

Everything went very smoothly at the beginning, and the next highlight was the choice of characters. That's when I realized what really is the beginning of everything.

On the one hand, because of the fame of me and Lan Zhiyuan, especially because I was successfully pushed to the position of Oscar actress by him, there are indeed many people who have signed up for auditions.

But on the other hand, the results of the auditions were somewhat bleak and dismal. After three days in a row, there are only three supporting roles that can be determined, the four leading actors have no hope at all, and there are a few young actors, and there are no suitable candidates.

Of course, in order to ensure the quality of the interview, we have deliberately controlled the speed of the interview and fully controlled the time.

It's such a lot of work, but it still didn't allow us to pick out the actors we liked, either they were too pretentious, and they were hypocritical performances at first glance, or they were too fragile in their hearts, and I was worried that if they couldn't shoot for a few days, the actors themselves would go crazy.

may also be because the script is written from the perspective of my father, I will always screen with my impression of my father unconsciously, in fact, after discussing with Lan Zhiyuan, some of the personality traits of the male protagonist he summarized are indeed deeply imprinted by my father.

The tenacity and stubbornness of the bones, and the vow not to give in are the symbols of the character of the doctor.

These actors, maybe because they are young, or maybe because they can't teach them that kind of responsibility in this era, so they always disappoint me.

As for the actresses, the role status of the male protagonist is actually a little weak, but in the face of catastrophes, the heroine portrayed by her father is also the embodiment of tenacity and kindness.

Obviously, Xu Jie couldn't act many years ago, and many years later, there are still too many people who can't interpret the excitement either.

Lan Zhiyuan once tried to help me communicate with Twilight, hoping that I would still participate in the show.

Twilight's bottom line can't be changed.

He was right, "Even if I let Chu Xia play the heroine, then what about the other roles, it still takes time and energy to find them." Although this statement has a bit of bandit logic, it cannot deny the facts stated in it.

The turning point came when Anya and Wu Yufei brought their youngest son to our house for this day.

Anya and Song Yan's children are now being raised by Song Yan, and it is said that they have now settled abroad with Song Yan. I have no right to say anything about their marriage, and I have nothing to do but bless them to see that this pair of people who truly love each other can stay together for the rest of their lives.

This day happened to be the weekend, Ding Ding and Tingting were doing their homework upstairs, and Xuan Xuan was playing with Nianxin. Now there is a little baby, four children, regardless of age, playing together like this.

Chen Yanfei also said vigorously, "Our family is going to become a kindergarten." ”

While the children were having fun, we finally had the opportunity to sit down and chat, "Didn't you hear that you and Director Lan were going to shoot a movie about the Tangshan earthquake, how is it?" This topic was picked up by Wu Yufei.

At the mention of movies, I have a headache right now.

I supported my head with one hand and couldn't help but start complaining, "Until now, I can't decide on any of the main characters." ”

"Is it that hard?" Anya was a little surprised.

I shook my head, "Not to mention those children who are still studying, they really don't have any acting experience, even those old actors, they still can't play any taste." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Anya was surprised again.

Wu Yufei also expressed his opinion, "It's because you and Director Lan are too demanding." ”

"Isn't making movies just about excellence, and you can't do it at all?" I sighed, "To be honest, I still feel that the level of the mixed film and television industry is still not as good as ours...... "I looked at these two, in terms of acting level, I called myself 'we' actually a little narcissistic.

I was just lucky to have a good script and a good director, and if it were these two, with such an opportunity, it would definitely be more brilliant than I would have achieved.

No, why do I have a feeling of inspiration?

"What's wrong?" Anya looked at me and looked at her differently, and asked unconsciously.

The little guy has been seven or eight months now, so Anya dared to carry the little guy out to meet the guests. So, if the timing is right, "Have you ever considered a comeback?" ”

"What?" Anya and Wu Yufei said in unison.

I'll look at Anya, and then look at Wu Yufei, "This sentence should ask the two of you, have you considered making a comeback?" ”

Since Anya married Song Yan, she has announced that she will fade out of the showbiz and prepare to be a full-time wife. It's just that it depends on the face of various manufacturers or directors and media, so they occasionally appear.

As for Wu Yufei, since the last car accident, he has not filmed seriously, although he has not stopped filming, but it is similar to quitting the entertainment industry.

However, at this moment, from their acting skills to the heroes and heroines in the script, these two people are simply the best candidates for the heroes and heroines.

This may be ridiculous and unfounded, but once it is created, it can never be changed.

Wu Yufei and Anya looked at each other and didn't rush to say no.

At this time, Chen Yanfei also came up and helped me persuade me. She is not only our elder, but also Chen Yanfei has a pivotal position in terms of seniority in the entertainment industry.

With her out of the horse, they will at least give me this face.

"But we have to say it in advance, if Director Lan thinks we are not suitable, then we can't be blamed." Before leaving, Anya did not forget to give me a vaccination in advance.

"You're willing to audition, it's already very face-saving for me."

Seeing them leave, I immediately called Lan Zhiyuan to explain the situation. He has no objection to these two candidates, only saying that he will see the audition tomorrow.

Although the last time I failed to cooperate with Wu Yufei, it is a pity that it is a pity, but it still does not affect Lan Zhiyuan's professional judgment.

Under the premise of doing things impartially, after our two rounds of auditions, we finally made a decision and determined that these two are the most suitable heroes and heroines in our minds.

"Now that even Director Lan has agreed, you are not allowed to run away halfway." I hugged Anya excitedly, and the tiredness and worries of so many days were released at this moment.

"I'm going to try to get all the excitement going." Anya looked at me steadily, "It's just, you know, there's a little guy at home, and it's definitely going to be ......"

"You can rest assured that we will definitely coordinate the best work arrangement."

And Wu Yufei and Lan Zhiyuan were also very excited. No one expected that the regrets left during the filming of "Ruyi Biography" would be made up for in this way.

The official addition of Anya and Wu Yufei also brought new hope to the entire crew, and it was also good luck with it.

After the hero and heroine were determined, we also had a basic reference, and other roles were quickly determined, it is worth mentioning that Zhang Wei, who returned to China from abroad after a busy new movie, also came to audition on a whim, originally just to support my work, and even successfully had a role positioning.

So far, the most difficult work has been solved, and there are still a few small actors who need to be carefully searched.

The situation of the young actors is completely different from that of the male and female leading actors.

Although there are many parents who hope to borrow our fame and become famous in one fell swoop, after understanding the plot, it is determined that the child may be affected by some adverse effects, such as being frightened in order to adapt to the needs of the plot and creating the effect of crying, there are still some parents who retreat.

A week passed quickly.

After Lan Zhiyuan rested, he still came to the villa and continued to discuss some details of the film shooting with me.

Similarly, on weekends, Ding Ding would also come to do homework with Zeng Ting.

It's the same as me, it's the feeling at that glance, Lan Zhiyuan suddenly slapped his thigh, at that time, Ding Ding was comforting the handsome Xiao Nianxin in the stairwell, the child was crying wow, Xuan Xuan obediently ran to us to get snacks for his sister, and Ding Ding squatted down to comfort Xiao Nianxin.

Perhaps it was also this scene that made Lan Zhiyuan feel something, "This is the child of the Dongfang family?" ”

I nodded yes, and instantly understood the meaning of Lan Zhiyuan's eyes.

Without saying a word, call Tong Yue first. She didn't have any opinions, she just said that she wanted to discuss it with her in-laws and Dongfang Xu, and we had to wait.

At the same time, Lan Zhiyuan's target also targeted several other children.

Chen Yanfei and Dulin originally disagreed, especially our family Xuanxuan, which was a treasure in their hands, just like those parents who were discouraged, they didn't want their grandson to suffer any unnecessary grievances.

And I, actually, are fine.

At this time, there is a sense of mission that art is above all else, this movie is my father's unfulfilled wish in his life, if Xuanxuan can also participate in it, I don't have any opinion.

What I'm wondering now is, what role would be right for him?

Think about it, the role of the male protagonist's son when he was a child, that is, Tintin's childhood, is just right. The only difficulty is that the part that needs Xuan Xuan to play is the scenes that experienced the earthquake, which is a challenge for this child, and it is also for us.

On the other hand, there is also the role of a little girl, and Xiao Nianxin is just the right age. The little girl in the script was crushed under the rubble with her mother, and it was her mother who maintained her life with her own blood, this paragraph is very moving, and I checked it later, it is indeed the real situation.

Lan Zhiyuan didn't force it, saying that he would respect the opinions of all of us.

At first, I didn't expect any hope that Twilight could bring me, after all, even my right to participate in the show was deprived, how could his son be willing to give up?

Hu Yibiao and Zhang Shuhua's attitude is very clear, and they believe that we will take care of our hearts, and when they heard me put forward this meaning, they agreed immediately.

In fact, they are more concerned about the face of Dulin and Twilight, especially Zhang Shuhua, who always feels that she owes us, and she will naturally not shirk this kind of thing.

And Twilight's attitude finally made me even more indigestible, because he agreed without hesitation.

"Stinky boy, that's your own son." Chen Yanfei was in a hurry for a while, and raised his hand to slap Twilight on the back.

Twilight ducked from me for a moment, and glanced at me calmly by the way, "That's also Hatsu Xia's own son." ”

That's right, that's my own son, so how could I watch him suffer on set? If it wasn't for the right role, how could I have such an idea?

Chen Yanfei and Dulin also seemed to be awakened at once. "Then you have to promise me that you can't let our Xuanxuan suffer anything." Chen Yanfei looked at me solemnly and said very seriously.

"Mom, don't worry......"

"It's not like you haven't filmed, what are you worried about?" Twilight interrupted me directly, and said indifferently, "Besides, his mother is the director, who dares to let him suffer?" ”

The emphasis on what this man said was still annoying, but what he said was also very reasonable.

And there was also good news from Ding Ding's side, Dongfang Xu's parents respected their grandson's opinion and promised to let him play the role of the little actor Zeng Zixiao.

Funnily enough, when Tong Yue called, Dongfang Xu also tried to express his opposition. But it was clear that in their family discussions, that was a point that had long been overlooked.

Tong Yue also told me that the main reason why Ding Ding wants to participate so much is actually because of me, I am the idol of the little guy all along, so he also hopes to learn from me and become an excellent actor.

Although this ambition is a bit random and a little early, I am still very happy to be the reason for his efforts.
