Chapter 557: Luo Mo's version of "Yue Fei" cast
So far, the casting of "Yue Fei" has entered a more vigorous time.
The competition for some key roles has also entered a white heat.
Even for a character like Qin Hui, there are many people who are fiercely scrambling.
After a fierce competition for Qin Hui's role, Luo Mo finally decided on the role - Ni Dahong.
Luo Mo has the highest decision-making power for this movie, and it is naturally the same in casting, so in the end, the selected role is still made by Luo Mo.
For some relatively less important roles, Luo Mo gave the following people to choose, but for some main roles, he still needs to personally check them.
Ni Dahong, an actor, is an old actor, he has starred in a lot of works, and under the experience of so many TV series and movies, he has become an old actor who is a play. And he played Yan Song in "Ming Dynasty" and Sima Yi in "New Three Kingdoms", these roles are not good folk reviews, so there is nothing wrong with using him to play Qin Hui.
Qin Hui is more than ten years older than Yue Fei, so using him to play Qin Hui is indeed a lot older than Luo Mo.
When the role of Ni Dahong came out, everyone also found that Luo Mo's casting this time was not for high popularity, but for good strength......
Indeed, Luo Mo's movie, starring Luo Mo, itself represents huge popularity, and there is no need to use stars to pile up popularity.
This is Luo Mo's confidence, he doesn't need to use good actors to increase his popularity......
Of course, there are also many good actors seeking roles in movies.
As the dust settled on the news that Ni Dahong played Qin Hui, the second fixed angle also appeared - Sun Honglei played Zhang Xian. Sun Honglei is also a powerful actor, after "Latent", he became popular in the Chinese TV drama circle, and then crossed over to the film circle, and there can be wonderful films such as "Border Storm" and "All People Witness".
Sun Honglei has a very unique manly charm and enough masculinity, so there is no problem for him to play the national hero Zhang Xian.
This role, he also stood out from many candidates.
Then, Wang Gui's actor was also set on Liu Ye, Liu Ye is a powerful actor, and he has already crossed paths with Luo Mo in "Inception", this time let him play Wang Gui who betrayed Yue Fei at the last moment, in terms of acting skills, he can cope with the past.
Over the years, Liu Ye has become famous at a young age, but then he has been relatively mediocre, except for a "Inception" that made him rise, he has no good works, and "Tough Guy" is also mediocre, including his collaboration with Cheng Long last year, "New Police Story" did not bring more popularity......
However, his acting skills are still there, and he is indeed suitable for this role.
Niu Gao's actor is set to be Jiang Wu.
The name Niu Gao and his historical introduction are biased towards rudeness, and many film and television works also show him as a generous and tragic Yan Zhao with a rough figure. This kind of Niu Gao, it is just right for Jiang Wu to play it, Jiang Wu has acting skills, and through the previous "Destined", it also proved his strength when he played some tyrannical roles. Moreover, his appearance and his performance characteristics can also make the role of Niu Gao show his own coarse and fine.
Jiang Wu's practice of playing Niu Gao was quickly decided.
Then, Han Shizhong was played by Wu Xiubo, Han Shizhong's description is dignified, heroic and majestic, Wu Xiubo's appearance, that is definitely worthy of appearance, and he is still a very attractive uncle.
After the TV series "Heart Art" and the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle", Wu Xiubo also has quite good popularity, his acting skills, his old and strong, and his handsomeness all make Wu Xiubo have more and more achievements in this circle. In "Jingzhong Yue Fei", he played the role of Gao Chong, who appeared very little, but Gao Chong came from the fiction of "Saying Yue Quan", and there was no such person in Luo Mo's version of "Yue Fei".
Wu Xiubo is just right to play Han Shizhong, and Han Shizhong is indeed older than Yue Fei...... And Wu Xiubo's acting skills can also handle such a role.
Then, a somewhat controversial role appeared - Nicholas Tse played Yang Zaixing.
In terms of conditions, Yang Zaixing is one year younger than Yue Fei, and Nicholas Tse is four years older than Luo Mo, which is about the same, as long as he wears makeup, he looks about the same......
But everyone thinks that Nicholas Tse is too handsome and not suitable for Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing is a fierce general on the battlefield, a character with explosive combat effectiveness, using Nicholas Tse to play Yang Zaixing? It feels a bit of a dissonance.
But think about it carefully, Nicholas Tse has worked very hard in acting over the years, and he used "Witness" to win the actor back then, and he fought to the extreme.
When he starred in "The True Colors of Men", he almost fell halfway, but he still made the "True Colors of Men" that made people feel thrilling in fighting, so he has never lacked hard work and skills.
Let Nicholas Tse play Yang Zaixing, although "Yue Fei" is a movie that is intended to be made into an epic blockbuster, not an idol historical drama, but it also has some idol flavor - Luo Mo, Nicholas Tse, and Wu Xiubo are all handsome guys, and all three of them have entered an age where a man is both handsome and has the precipitation of years and has become mature and charming.
After Luo Mo really entered the year of establishment, he had the precipitation of the years and a good foundation, so he looked full of mature charm, and Nicholas Tse and Wu Xiubo didn't need to explain much.
Surprisingly, Jiang Wen also appeared in the list audition application for "Yue Fei".
Jiang Wen and Luo Mo are somewhat similar in many places, especially the stalk of self-directing and self-acting, which makes everyone feel that the two have a strong similarity.
Jiang Wen is one of the most anticipated domestic movie stars, and his upcoming "One Step Away" at the end of this year has also received everyone's attention. At this time, he came up to apply for the role of Zhou Dong, which was a little surprising.
But then, some people maliciously speculated - did Jiang Wen want to use the role of Zhou Tong here to tell everyone that he was Luo Mo's teacher? After all, Zhou Tong is Yue Fei's teacher, which is recorded in the official history. But this speculation is a minority after all, a movie is a movie, reality is reality, Jiang Wenlai is indeed very suitable to play Zhou Tong.
Moreover, Luo Mo and Jiang Wen do not have much intersection after all, although many people say that he and Luo Mo are the two most anticipated directors in China, but Luo Mo's achievements in awards and box office are much higher than Jiang Wen, such Jiang Wen is not Luo Mo's teacher at all......
So this malicious speculation quickly stopped.
Luo Mo also chose Jiang Wen to play the role of Zhou Tong.
After Zhou Tong, the choice of his mother-in-law was handed over to the famous Chinese movie star Gong Li.
Gong Li's achievements, naturally, needless to say.
She rose to fame in 1987 when she first worked with director Zhang Yimou, and went on to star in a number of films that won international awards and became the first Chinese star to appear on the cover of Time magazine.
After winning the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival in 1992, she became the only actress in the mainland to be the queen of the three major European international film festivals, and won the Best Actress Award at the Montreal International Film Festival in 2000, becoming the first Chinese actor to win the International A-category Film Festival Actress twice.
Gong Li starred in the movies "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", and "Farewell My Concubine" won the Golden Bear Award, Golden Lion Award, and Palme d'Or respectively, and is the only Chinese actor who has won the highest award at the three major European international film festivals......
Everyone is even a little curious, why Gong Li will participate in "Yue Fei".
In fact, this is also a kind of support for Luo Mo, and it is also a kind of trust for Luo Mo, although this is only a supporting role for a short time, but Gong Li feels that Luo Mo is the best Chinese director now, and he will definitely be able to do this movie well.
Zhao Gou's actor became Wang Xuebing, in fact, Zhao Gou is not an emperor as eloquent as Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and the like, and Zhao Gou even has an ugly title like 'The Emperor Who Run'...... All his life, this guy has been running away, and he was frightened by the Jin people, and even wanted to give up the great rivers and mountains and drift on the sea......
Moreover, he is suspicious by nature, fragile in character, and likes to be treacherous, and was wanted to search the mountains and seas by the Jin people to arrest Zhao Gou...... Such an emperor does not need super strongmen such as Chen Daoming and Tang Guoqiang to play it, of course, their age is not suitable - Zhao Gou is four years younger than Yue Fei.
This escaped emperor, of course, also has his own means of power, after all, he is the emperor...... He also has his own domineering side, and Wang Xuebing can also show this domineering, and he can also show Zhao Gou's cowardice and other negative personalities.
In this way, this role was handed over to Wang Xuebing.
Yue Yun's role is more difficult to choose, after all, Yue Yun is a general, and he is Yue Fei's son...... It's a bit hard to choose......
After all, the new generation of Chinese actors basically follow the idol route, and it is difficult to find someone who is more suitable to play Yue Yun......
Yue Yun wants to be strong......
In the end, the candidates included Lin Gengxin, Dou Xiao, and Jiang Jinfu...... Of these people, Lin Gengxin is slightly better, although Jiang Jinfu is popular and young enough, but whether he can endure hardships and perform Yue Yun is very uneasy, so this role is temporarily undecided.
And the actor of the Golden Vulture is set to be Hu Jun.
Jin Wushu is not the master of love in Luo Mo's "Yue Fei", and the Jin Wushu here is also eloquent, bent on conquering the Han family.
Originally, they thought that if Song Qinzong and Song Huizong were taken away, the Song Dynasty would die without a fight, but who knew that Zhao Gou, who ran out of Lu Dao from them, actually built a Southern Song Dynasty over there...... And such a golden vulture will be domineering and courageous......
He and Yue Fei were also natural enemies.
Hu Jun was selected after the last, Hu Jun is domineering, this can be seen by everyone since "New Dragon Babu", and he also has acting skills, and he is also a drama bone for many years of acting.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Hu Jun's performance of the Golden Vulture technique.
In this way, a tentative cast list of the main characters of "Yue Fei" has also come out.
