Before, Chen Xi selected actors in strict accordance with the cast list of the original movie, although this practice sometimes made Chen Xi feel that he was too limited to death, and even did not conform to his imagination, but when it was really time for him to choose actors, Chen Xi found that it was not easy to find this matter, and any place was full of constraints.

Of course, this is mainly because of Chen Xi's current status and strength...... If he is Zhang Yimou, it is obvious that he doesn't have to worry about this kind of selection of actors at all, because the best actors in China can let him choose, and Chen Xi's fundamental problem now is not that he can't find an actor, but that he can't find a fairly suitable actor.

Now, Chen Xi plans to look for it among these people.

After careful selection, Chen Xi still sent an invitation letter to Shu Sing, which was also well thought out, Shu Sing is a strange person......

Seriously, Shu Sing's appearance is still very high, no matter who she is, people who think she is ugly have almost never heard of it, so in terms of beauty, Shu Sing basically has no controversy, which is also a very important thing, since the role in the movie can be valued so much by the protagonist Shen Lian, it is obvious that this person's appearance, although it is not said that he wants to be captivated, but he does have to be very beautiful, otherwise it will not be convincing at all.

From this point of view, Liu Shishi's appearance is okay, but Liu Shishi belongs to the more intriguing type, if you watch too much, you will feel that the more she looks at it, the better she looks, but at first sight, it is difficult to have a sense of amazement, and besides, Liu Shishi's acting skills and lines are more problematic......

Liu Shishi's acting skills are more controversial, and the people who blow her think she is the best kind among Xiaohuadan, saying that she is not good, and also saying that Liu Shishi's acting skills are a piece of Xiang...... In fact, Master Liu's acting skills are indeed not too good, she is relatively more suitable for the kind of quiet, with a little melancholy role, other types are not easy to control, in addition, Master Liu's lines are really problematic, and the line skills are really not good.

Shu Sing is a person who will be amazing at first glance, but he won't feel tired of seeing too much, and there is no problem with his appearance.

And Shu Sing's drama is quite good, think about her TV series of the type of "Baolian Lantern" and "Magic Mobile", and then think about the Tianshan Tong Grandma she played in "Dragon Babu", you can know that this person's acting skills are not a problem.

As for why she can't always be popular...... In fact, this reason is quite sad to say.

Because, Shu Sing basically doesn't hype herself, it's hard to hear that she has an affair with someone, and basically can't hear some rumors that are purely hyping her, these things completely limit Shu Sing.

Hyping up those things, although strictly speaking, is not a good thing, but it can't bear its effect.

People who don't hype themselves and don't package themselves, no matter how strong they are, basically have no possibility of entering the ranks of real first-line stars.

In this era of information explosion, if you don't hype yourself, you really suffer too much.

…… And now Shu Sing does lack enough popularity for various reasons, and there is basically no performance on the big screen, so at the invitation of Chen Xi, he quickly came to audition, and then Chen Xi also felt that she was more suitable and asked her to play the female number one.

Chen Xi's next thing is to start to determine the actor, in terms of the actor, Chen Xi can only find it with the help of Ye Siwei, first of all, Zhang Zhen is completely confirmed, Zhang Zhen is also a relatively legendary actor, the legend of this actor lies in his dedication, before playing a role, he will always do his best to familiarize himself with and even master all the special details of this role.

Just like that, in order to shoot "The Grandmaster", he actually practiced for a few years, and then won a championship in the Bajiquan National Competition, of course, it is a pity that in the version of "The Grandmaster" that really began to be released, many of Zhang Zhen's martial arts scenes were directly reduced, which should be a pity for him, but he still didn't have too many complaints, and when it came to "Assassin Nie Yinniang", Zhang Zhen specially learned quite superb swordsmanship for this movie.

And Zhang Zhen already has a very good martial arts foundation, as long as it is discovered, these things will become the part of the movie to add points, from this point of view, Chen Xi is also more at ease with Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen is also the best choice to play Shen Lian.

As for the eldest of the three brothers, Lu Jianxing, the actor of the original version, Chen Xi himself felt that it was not suitable, although Wang Qianyuan was also a very good actor, especially in the performance of "The Piano of Steel", which made people see his hard work, but Chen Xi still felt that he was not very suitable.

And the role of this boss, in fact, there are relatively few real fighting scenes, and the fighting scenes require real knives and guns, fists to the flesh, and more on Shen Lian's body, so this boss pays more attention to literary drama, after careful thinking, Chen Xi locked the character on Feng Yuanzheng's body, Feng Yuanzheng is also a very good actor, whether it is on the small screen or on the big screen, he has a pretty good appearance.

As for the other characters...... Li Dongxue, who plays the third brother, also graduated from college last year, and I feel that he is a little immature in many places, but he has undergone martial arts performances and physical training in college, so he should not have a problem in these aspects......

There is another role that Chen Xi wants to change is the actor of Ding Xiu, and the original version of Zhou Yiwei also played well, but Chen Xi now wants to find someone with more martial arts skills: Wu Jing...... Chen Xi plans to use dubbing here with Wu Jing, and at the same time, he uses Wu Jing in "Embroidered Spring Knife" to symbolize one thing: there are some connections between "Raid" and "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Wu Jing often plays villains, although Chen Xi is a little disgusted with Wu Jing's acting skills, but he still has a sense of playing the kind of role that is both good and evil, especially a role similar to Ding Xiu in "Embroidered Spring Knife", so it should not be a problem for him to perform that feeling.

Other roles, most of them have not changed much, mainly the changes in the boss and heroine, after these things are ready, they will officially start looking for actors to determine their schedules, and now Chen Xi has also gained a high degree of popularity and recognition after "Border Storm" and "People in Embarrassment", two movies with a double harvest at the box office, it is not difficult to find so many influential and well-known actors.

…… After really determining these things now, Chen Xi also has more plans and plans for the start of filming of the next movie.

March officially begins!

In the past few days, Chen Xi has also taken some people to run around, looking for suitable scenes, Chen Xi doesn't want to use a simple Hengdian Photography City to send this matter away, he needs to find many scenes that are more in line with the content of the movie.

There are still a lot of scenes involved in "Embroidered Spring Knife", and it is not a simple matter to find all these scenes, especially Chen Xi also asked to fit his imagination very well, so this matter has become more difficult.

In addition, the preparation of props is also in full swing, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is not a historical feature film, but when it comes to some specific things, Chen Xi will still try his best to be elegant, including many of them's clothes are like that, at least don't have too strong a sense of travel.

Chen Xi will also find some historical consultants who are really talented and knowledgeable for "Embroidered Spring Knife...... In fact, Chen Xi himself, whether it is himself or Chen Xi, has a special plot for the end of the Ming Dynasty, if one day he really has the kind of Cheng Dù who will be sought after by many people in any film he makes, and he also makes a lot of money, then Chen Xi will definitely consider the theme of the late Ming Dynasty, but now, these things, he can only temporarily achieve some advance advances in "Embroidered Spring Knife", so although "Embroidered Spring Knife" is still an entertainment film in essence, Chen Xi will be consistent with history in many places.

In the original version of "Embroidered Spring Knife", in fact, the hairstyle of the Manchu guy in the end is quite close to the historical reality, and it is much better than those other braided plays.

In most of the dramas of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, those Manchus were already oily and slippery braids that hung down to their waists, but in fact, in those years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's requirements for Han people to shave their hair were even money rat tails...... This point, Chen Xi wants to try his best to restore it, if the radio and television side is reviewed, it is just saying other things.

However, these things also belong to the category of minutiae as a whole, and Chen Xi is now more about making this movie really good and perfect!

After March, all the actors have basically determined the schedule, and these actors are basically more interested when they hear Chen Xi's new movie, and then they all agree to Chen Xi's invitation to shoot the plan, the actor's problem is determined, and then it is just a matter of other preparations.

The things that are prepared are actually very trivial, including a lot of trivial things and all kinds of quite small things, but as long as the funds are in place, many people will act together, and it is not difficult to complete these things, and it will not take too long, at least it will not make people feel unacceptable.

Therefore, under the condition that Chen Xi invested money, by March 9th, they were basically ready, and the actors' schedules had been determined, and then it was the official start of filming and the beginning of various things such as publicity and publicity, and on the evening of March 13th, Chen Xi convened a meeting of all the crew members of "Embroidered Spring Knife" to prepare for this movie.
