Chapter 210: Casting with a headache

At the end of June, the performance training was about to begin, and Lin Yuquan was also very busy. +

"Boss, this is the preliminary cast list of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", you can take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified." Qiu Qingyi said with a shy face.

If it's just an ordinary film and television drama, with him, the producer and the director of the work, you can decide for yourself, but "The Legend of Deer and Ding", as a martial arts masterpiece, is the most important work of Shuguang Film Company this year except for "Painted Skin", and the cast of such a work certainly needs the nod of Lin Yuquan, the boss.

"Wei Xiaobao - Xu Zheng, Princess Jianning - Su Chang, A Ke - Fan Binbin, Mrs. Hong - Su Quan - Zhou Haimei, Fang Yi - Li Ruotong, Mu Jianping - Liu Yifei, Shuang'er - Jiang Yan, Zeng Rou - Liu Zhu, Chen Yuanyuan - Gao Yuanyuan, Kangxi - Ren Quan, Ao Bai - Xu Jinjiang, Hai Dafu - Wu Mengda, Wu Sangui - Wang Gang, Zheng Keshuang - Luo Jin, Mu Jiansheng - Zhu Yawen"

As a costume drama, the starring roles and important supporting roles of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" add up to hundreds of people, Lin Yuquan naturally didn't have the effort to watch them all, and carefully considered the characters next to each other, he mainly weighed the leading actors, considered whether it was suitable, and the others had their own Huang Jianxin and Qiu Qingyi to worry about.

Obviously, because it is their own company's play, Huang Jianxin and Qiu Qingyi first included the artists of the Yuquan family as their first choice when considering the role actors, so Liu Yifei and Jiang Yan both won the roles.

Mu Jianping is the little county lord of Mu Wangfu, and he has known Wei Xiaobao the earliest and the youngest. His people are innocent and pure. Almost nothing is known about men and women. And the dust of the world is spotless.

Shuang'er is the dealer's maid, Wei Xiaobao's wife and loyal partner, soft temperament, ingenious, among Wei Xiaobao's seven wives, there are only Shuang'er, the most loyal to Wei Xiaobao, unconditional grace, infinite gentleness, endless thanksgiving.

The two of them play these two roles, which is quite compatible.

As for the other candidates. Lin Yuquan's brows furrowed slightly, the candidates for Wei Xiaobao's seven wives in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" can be said to be quite important, if you don't choose well, it will naturally attract a lot of scolding, and if you choose well, it can attract attention and raise the audience's expectations, so it is very difficult to choose, a bit like the feeling of the twelve zodiac women in "Love Call Transfer".

Just a cursory glance, Lin Yuquan found a not so suitable person.

"Su Chang can't play Princess Jianning, so it's more far-fetched for Fan Binbin to play Ake."

In "The Legend of Deer and Ding". Princess Jianning is Kangxi's younger sister, although her status is noble. But there is no half of the princess's posture, pampered, brutal and spicy, is a princess who abuses others and is abused by others, her personality should be very complex, lively with a little willful, affectionate and then a little violence, but not annoying, more loving.

Perhaps, everyone's understanding of Princess Jianning is biased, but at least the Princess Jianning he wants is like this.

Su Chang's acting skills are excellent, there are few actresses of the same age who have such solid acting skills as her, and the age is more consistent, it stands to reason that there is no problem, but temperament, yes, the natural temperament is not very compatible with Princess Jianning, and Su Chang is not to the point where he has made up for this defect with his acting skills.

And the role of Ake should be the most favored role by Lin Yuquan among all the women, the biggest feature of this role is that he has a high appearance, he needs to be glamorous, and the second is his image and character. In "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Ah Ke is the most beautiful image, the most mysterious identity, the most bizarre fate, the most stubborn personality, the strongest emotion, and the most shallow mind among the girls Wei Xiaobao has encountered, this qiΔ“ is destined to the particularity and importance of the role of Ah Ke, counting the actors in previous versions of this role, Shang Tian'e, Chen Yumi, Li Jiaxin, Liang Xiaoice, Zhu Ying, they are almost the most high-profile female characters in their respective versions.

If you talk about appearance, Li Jiaxin's first should be well-deserved, in this regard, Fan Binbin is not worse than other women, and even a little better, but there are two key points, one is that Fan Binbin is beautiful, but her own ice and jade temperament is a little insufficient, in fact, she is more suitable for roles such as Wu Zetian, Daji, Yang Guifei, and the other is that she herself is too hyped, and her reputation is not so good.

Lin Yuquan also regretted that Fan Binbin's beautiful appearance already met the needs, but because of these two key points, it must not be used.

"And who's more suitable?" Qiu Qingyi asked.

Lin Yuquan didn't answer immediately, he himself was very distressed about this question, if Jiang Qingqing was four or five years younger, he would definitely choose her, but now, he was a little hesitant, and the role of Princess Jianning made him even more embarrassed, he was more impressed by Liu Yucui in Chen Xiaochun's version and Lin Xinru in Zhang Weijian's version, among which Liu Yucui was closer to the original, and Lin Xinru was more subversive.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuquan said: "Princess Jianning, I don't have a candidate for the time being, Ah Ke can consider letting Gao Yuanyuan play it." ”

"Gao Yuanyuan." Qiu Qingyi was slightly puzzled.

"That's right, it's Gao Yuanyuan, her appearance is first-class among the actresses in China, and her temperament is more suitable for Ake than Fan Binbin, so there should be no problem for her to play it."

"What about the other characters?" Qiu Qingyi nodded after thinking about it.

"Since we are filming the mainland version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which is different from the Hong Kong and Taiwan version, the actors should first choose from the mainland actors, and then consider Hong Kong and Taiwan, Li Ruotong can be replaced by someone else, and her age is not very suitable for playing Fang Yi, I think you can consider Qin Lan." Lin Yuquan said.

"Qin Lan." Qiu Qingyi looked puzzled.

"Don't you know this actor?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Hmm." In front of Lin Yuquan, Qiu Qingyi nodded indifferently.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't know, this actor is not very well-known now, she previously starred in "Huanzhu Gege 3", playing the role of Jiangnan socialite Chen Zhihua. In addition, he also played Yu Chuchu in "Fengyun 2", which was broadcast last year. If you have watched "Fengyun 2", you must have an impression of her. Lin Yu smiled in front of him. After taking a sip of water, he continued: "The character of Fang Yi, among Wei Xiaobao's wives, has a somewhat obscure and complicated personality, not as easy to grasp as the little county lord, repeated several times in the middle, and even deceived Wei Xiaobao with a beauty, the role is not so likable, and she is a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes." Qin Lan is a very beautiful actor, and the roles she played before were gentle, pure and pure, but I think she is a more potential actress, and it should be no problem for her to change her temperament to play Fang Yi. ”

Qiu Qingyi silently wrote down the name Qin Lan, and after the preparation was over, he first learned some information about the other party, and then discussed with Huang Jianxin.

"Liu Zhu is a very good actor, she played the role of Azhu in "Dragon Babu" very well, with good image, temperament, and acting skills, but she is actually not so suitable for playing Zeng Rou. Among the women, Zeng Rou's role is the least inked. In "The Story of Deer and Ding", she is a thoughtful, gentle and shy, honest and sweet girl, who treats feelings very single and focused, Liu Zhu is a little older, I am afraid she can't act like this. ”

"Boss, you should already have a candidate!" Qiu Qingyi said with a smile.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled, Liu Shishi's voice and appearance flashed in his mind, and said: "You should know more about the existing artists of the Yuquan family, I mention that Liu Shishi will play, her age and temperament should be the most suitable candidate." ”

Of course, Qiu Qingyi understands Liu Shishi's situation, she is indeed quite suitable, when she first considered it, it was mainly because the other party was not famous, so she ignored the past, but since Lin Yuquan has spoken, it is naturally nothing if she is not famous, just like Qin Lan replacing Li Ruotong.

Lin Yuquan continued: "Wu Mengda's previous role as Hai Dafu in Zhou Xingchi's movie version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is very good, but since it is filming the mainland version, we still consider mainland actors, what do you think of Zhang Guoli?" ”

"Zhang Guoli." Qiu Qingyi was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, others are famous actors, directors, producers and bosses, so they shouldn't play this kind of villain role with few scenes!" ”

"How is it impossible, didn't he play Cheng Kun in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" before?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile, he officially thought of this, so he wanted to find Zhang Guoli to act: "Don't care if he plays or not, you just say that he is suitable?" ”

"Of course it is suitable, Zhang Guoli's acting strength goes without saying, from the emperor to the commoner, he can really go up and down, can be functional and civilian, can be ancient and modern, and can play with ease, the drama road is very wide, the role of the rich sea will definitely not be difficult for him, and he is one of the few big-name actors in China, and having him star can also have a major impact on the ratings of our TV series." In the end, Qiu Qingyi couldn't help but look forward to it, which producer doesn't want his work to have a big bowl of stars, and the benefits are obvious.

"That's it, don't worry, I'll leave the job of convincing him to me." Lin Yuquan smiled, he was quite sure of this, there was no way, who made him know Zhang Guoli more well now.

"Okay." Qiu Qingyi smirked, listening to Lin Yuquan's tone, it seemed that Zhang Guoli did not have a zΓ i problem, how could he not be excited.

"Zhou Haimei plays Su Quan." This time it was Lin Yuquan's turn to hesitate, "Rogue Tycoon", "Intolerable Love", "Heaven and Earth Slaying Dragon", "Heaven and Earth Pride", one after another familiar dramas, Zhou Haimei's pure and sweet appearance and tall figure left a deep impression on him, she and Zhou Huimin, Zhang Min, Li Jiaxin, is the actress with the highest recognition of Cheng DΓΉ in Hong Kong stars, although she is nearly 40 years old and slightly older, but the years have not damaged her beauty, no one has to admit that she will play Su Quan, It can definitely be interpreted vividly by this peerless Mrs. Hong.

What to do? The embarrassment in Lin Yuquan's heart is incomprehensible, if it is replaced by domestic actors, Tian Hairong, Hu Ke, and Zeng Li are all okay, but maybe Zhou Haimei left too deep an impression on him, and there is no strong sense of amazement in the three of them, which really feels like a slap in the face.

Sighing, Lin Yuquan said: "Su Quan will tentatively set Zhou Haimei, but you and Director Huang can consider other actors to see if there is a suitable one." ”

"Okay." Qiu Qingyi nodded.

"Ren Quan plays Kangxi." Lin Yuquan shook his head, Ren Quan's handsomeness naturally did not need to be questioned, but he lacked the calm and majestic aura of the emperor on his body: "The role of Kangxi will be played by Deng Chao." He's a good fit. The popularity is no worse than Ren Quan. ”

Deng Chao can be said to be an emperor's professional. From "Young Son of Heaven", to "Young Kangxi", "No. 1 in the World", and "The End of the Ming Dynasty", several emperor roles are remarkable under his interpretation.

"The role of Chen Yuanyuan is played by Jiang Qingqing, with her appearance and temperament, it is very suitable, hey, Ao Bai is still Xu Jinjiang!" Lin Yuquan was embarrassed again, but Xu Jinjiang acted as a worship. It was indeed the one that impressed him the most.

"Eh, why is the role of Chen Jinnan blank, haven't you found a candidate?" Lin Yuquan said in surprise.

"Huh." Qiu Qingyi scratched his head, seemed to be a little embarrassed, embarrassed and difficult to speak, after a long time, he said: "Boss, I have discussed with Director Huang, and I want to ask the boss to play this role." ”

After finishing speaking, Qiu Qingyi immediately looked at him with anticipation.

"Me. How can that work. Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly: "Chen Jinnan's role must at least find a middle-aged actor, how could you think of me." In fact, Zhao Wenzhuo, Jiang David, and Zheng Yijian should be more suitable candidates. ”

"Boss, you are too modest, since "Huo Yuanjia" came out, I'm afraid no one will think that there are others who have the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters than you, Director Huang and I both think that only you are the best candidate, boss." Qiu Qingyi said excitedly.

"How can I act at such a young age?" Lin Yuquan shook his head again.

"Boss, don't worry, with superb makeup skills, this will definitely not be a problem." Afraid that Lin Yuquan would not agree, Qiu Qingyi hurriedly said: "Moreover, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is our company's annual drama, I think the boss you must also want to see this series achieve good results, if there is a boss you join, with the current influence of the boss, we can definitely make our "The Legend of Deer and Ding" the most watched TV series of the year." ”

Lin Yuquan didn't know this, looking at Qiu Qingyi's expectant eyes, he could only shake his head and sigh: "Okay, really take your way, you can discuss with Director Huang when you arrive, and concentrate my role for filming, my time is relatively tight." ”

"Yay!" Qiu Qingyi was impatiently excited, shouted, and said with great vigour: "No problem, boss." ”

What else can Lin Yuquan say, it is himself who suffers, and he put forward some of his own suggestions for other important actors, which ended the matter of the actor selection of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".

"Boss, after I'm busy with "The Legend of Deer and Ding", I will start the preparation of "Painted Wall", but I want to know what the investment budget for this movie is?" Qiu Qingyi put down the list of actors recorded according to Lin Yuquanjian and asked.

"How much budget do you need?" Lin Yuquan was noncommittal.

"Of course, the more the merrier." Qiu Qingyi smiled brightly.

"Hehe, you're thinking beautiful." Lin Yuquan scolded with a smile, and began to calculate the company's funds and his own funds, "Painted Wall" is a large-scale magic movie, with less investment, it will definitely not be able to shoot wonderful results, of course, he does not have the wealth to follow the specifications of "Painted Skin", in other words, such a big investment, it is not safe to hand it over to others.

"In this way, less than 100 million, whatever you toss, I don't ask you to make money, as long as you don't give me a loss."

"Boss, what you said is true, really give me that much budget?" Qiu Qingyi was shocked, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Of course, I can't lie to you, that's a lot, in fact, the budget of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is also a lot, okay." Lin Yuquan said.

"Hey, hey." Hearing that it was true, Qiu Qingyi smirked, where did he care about Lin Yuquan's complaints.

"By the way, for the role of Princess Jianning, if you really can't find a suitable candidate, let Fan Binbin play it!"

When Qiu Qingyi left, Lin Yuquan said.

After talking with Qiu Qingyi, Lin Yuquan found Ding Value again, and now with the launch of "Lu Ding Ji" and "Painted Wall" in the second half of the year, the company has filmed more and more costume film and television dramas, and he also feels that it is necessary to further accelerate the construction of Shuguang Film and Television Base.

After finishing this qiΔ“, Lin Yuquan was free, and then dialed Liu Shishi's phone.
