Chapter 89 Zhang Le's casting criteria

Zhou Dashen's movie has a strong personal color. No matter how talented a director is, working with him will be covered up. is like "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", when it comes to this movie, who would have thought that Li Lizhi, who is both a screenwriter and a director?

Zhou Dashen's role in this movie cannot be ignored. What about Li Lizhi?

Of course, Zhang Le's choice of this movie is mainly because there are too many highlights in the movie, whether it is dialogue, fighting, etc. The film subverts the imagination of the costume genre with a variety of postmodern techniques, including performance art drawings, modern percussion performances, fashion model gaits, poison introductions full of advertising vocabulary, and hilarious ideas like "unrecognizable feet".

This is a film that is diametrically opposed to "Crazy Stone" with a funny plot.

"May I ask Director Zhang, did you invite Feng Lei to be the protagonist of this movie because of Mr. Feng's relationship, or because he is your iron buddy?" A reporter asked.

"I chose him as the leading actor, mainly because of our company's contracted artist, and his image is in line with Tang Bohu. Of course, the premise of compliance is that he has to lose weight. Now, you see the fat man in "Crazy Stone", and now some people call him a male god. Weight loss is very successful, who do I choose if I don't choose him? Zhang Le smiled and said.

"Director Zhang means that you give priority to the contracted actors of your own company when choosing actors, rather than starting from the movie itself?" A reporter seemed to have caught a loophole in Zhang Le's words, so he asked.

"Didn't you already say it, priority! You know what priority means, right? What is wrong with giving priority to one's own people under the same conditions? Is it true that every time a film is made by a film studio, it makes a wedding dress for another film company? Zhang Le smiled and said, "If there is no suitable one, it will naturally invite actors from other companies." Isn't Chen Xiao that? ”

"Chen Xiao has worked with Director Zhang before, after Director Zhang gives priority to the actors in his company, is the actor he has worked with?"

"The actors who have worked with are familiar, and when the familiar actors cooperate, there is less of a process of getting familiar with each other, which can improve the efficiency of shooting. What's more, when talking about who is suitable, the first thing that comes to mind is the person they are familiar with. Zhang Le said with a smile.

"Miss Yang Xin'er, the real meaning of cooperating with Director Zhang this time, will you be sad if he scolds you on the set?" A reporter shifted the target to Yang Xin'er.

"Of course it's sad. Being scolded by the director proves that you didn't act well! Yang Xin'er smiled and said.

The reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xin'er's answer to the concept of stealing, and aimed at Zhang Le, asking, "Director Zhang, are you willing to scold Miss Yang Xin'er?" ”

"Do you mean in life, or when you're making movies?" Zhang Le glanced at Yang Xin'er and asked with a smile.

"How is life? What about when it comes to filming? The reporter asked.

"Naturally, I am reluctant to scold in life." Zhang Le smiled and said, "As for the filming of the movie, I won't know until that time!" The last time I filmed "Crazy Stone", I didn't have a chance to know. ”

Nonsense! Those who remember it are also clear that Zhang Lehe is rarely in front of media reporters, but he is also very experienced in answering questions, and he is simply an old fritter in the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Feng Lei, is it the first time you have played the leading role in a movie, do you feel the pressure?"

A reporter took aim at Feng Lei. It was difficult to get the answer they wanted from Yang Xin'er and Zhang Le. The sophisticated and official answer was nothing to speak of.

"Although it is my first time to play the leading role, I grew up as the head of the show since I was a child, and I don't know how many roles I have played so far. I'm still confident in my acting skills. What's more, I believe that the effort will be rewarded. How much effort I put into this film, you can see by looking at my body now. Feng Lei said with a smile.

Feng Lei really worked hard for this movie, and losing weight is just a clear result after hard work. There are still many efforts, and the results will need to be tested at the time of filming.

Feng Lei is not Zhou Dashen, and at the beginning, he even said nonsense in Zhang Le's mouth, postmodernism is just a vague concept.

Zhang Le has been wondering whether this movie will turn a classic into a bad movie if it is shot in other ways. The script of this movie itself is undoubtedly excellent, but if it is missing Zhou Dashen's unique style, Zhang Le himself feels a kind of emasculated defect.

With this kind of shortcoming, the classics will inevitably turn into bad movies.

Zhang Le naturally did not allow himself to shoot the classics of his previous life into bad movies. In a world without Zhou Dashen, nonsense and postmodernism have not yet matured, and the difficulty of filming this movie can be imagined.

Zhou Dashen has performed countless classics, which is also the accumulation of bit by bit. At the time of filming "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", his style had matured. Zhang Le wanted Feng Lei to do it with one touch, but it was obviously impossible.

Plagiarize, imitate, borrow, and then incorporate something of your own to form your own style?

Zhang Le thought a lot, but many things, only when it came to shooting, can be decided by looking at the effect.

Fortunately, there is no Zhou Dashen in this world, and there are no his classic films, not even similar. Even if the imitation is plausible, no one will know.

In the previous life, no matter how similar the imitation was, it was also a wisdom to pick up people's teeth. Nowadays, imitation is no longer like it, and it is also its own style.

The filming did not go very smoothly, and it never achieved the effect Zhang Le wanted, and sometimes a shot was reshot countless times. Zhang Le only realized at this time how heavy and long it was to build a Zhou Dashen in this world.

However, there is also a happy side. In the original version of her previous life, when Gong Li played this movie, she acted a little awkwardly, this is not to say that her acting skills are not good, but she was born in the academy, and she is not clear about Zhou Dashen's style, and many scenes are rejected because the other party is rectifying her.

And Yang Xin'er naturally doesn't think that Zhang Le will fix her in the movie. She is not from the academy, and she can act openly. Of course, there is a measure of liberalization. If it's like Pomegranate, the whole play is likely to become a farce.

No matter what, Yang Xin'er's performance was as expected by Zhang Le.

Feng Lei was tortured by Zhang Le to the point of a nervous breakdown. However, as the film was filmed, the feeling was slowly captured. The number of remakes is slowly decreasing.

"I've watched "Crazy Stone" many times, your movie is too different from its style, aren't you afraid of changing too much at once, and fans can't accept it?" Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Le and asked.

"As long as the movie is good, fans won't care if your style is the same as always." Zhang Le smiled and said, "I don't want to be stereotyped. ”

"Acceptance, there should be a process. You're a bit of a risky one. If your style is not accepted by fans, it will have a great impact on you. Tang Xiao said.

"If you want to try, don't be afraid to fail." Zhang Le shook his head and said with a smile, "There is a scene tomorrow, there is a lack of actors, you can make a cameo." ”

"Me?" Tang Xiao was a little surprised.

"Don't look at me, I'll make a cameo too." Zhang Le smiled and said.

"The scene?" Tang Xiao followed the crew, and as Zhang Le's assistant, he naturally studied the script.

"The four talents traveled. I play Wen Zhengming, you play Xu Zhenqing, and the three brothers of the four talents play three. Zhang Le smiled and said.
