What Li Chencan wants, a movie actor who can play the protagonist of his new movie, he needs not low acting skills, he needs not low fame in the film circle, but more importantly, he must be able to endure hardships.

In this circle, not everyone is very dedicated, and some people even rely on their own identities to play big names, there are more such stars, Li Chencan can't use them......

The movie "Saving Private Ryan" does not have a situation of suppression, because the real protagonist in the movie is Captain Miller played by Tom Hanks, of course, in this movie, it is called Captain Wang Kaiguo. The choice of this actor is still very important, Li Chencan wants to choose an actor who is somewhat famous, preferably an actor who has reached the level of a superstar in the film industry.

That's why he sent out invitations before......

During the filming of "Infernal Affairs" before, Li Chencan also invited several superstars, but unfortunately although they were polite when they refused, they still refused after all.

Of course, when the results of "Infernal Affairs" came out, these guys regretted it...... They regret what they did, if they could have been in "Infernal Affairs", maybe they could have been nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and even awards at the Yenching International Film Festival.

But it is useless for them to repent.

After "Infernal Affairs", Li Chencan proved himself, of course, these superstars will also participate in his movies, but they just see whether the bottom conditions are suitable or not.

But the first problem with superstars is that their salaries are too high......

A top Chinese movie star. The salary will reach close to 200 million national dollars, and there must be box office dividends.

This is also the source of many studios now beginning to try to curb the high remuneration of stars and directors...... The production cost of a movie has to go to the movie star...... This...... It really feels like putting the cart before the horse.

Second question. That is, they can't endure hardship......

Of course, this is not to say that they are not dedicated, but when they get to the point where every nail on their body is a sum of money, if they participate in a war movie like "Saving Private Ryan", the first thing is the safety issue, and it will cost tens of millions just to insure them. And there may not be insurance companies willing to insure, the risk of war movies is really too great, let alone a movie like Li Chencan that tries to create real scenes.

Even if these problems are solved. When it comes to specific shooting, there must be agents and assistants around the movie stars, and they can't accept some scenes at that time. In terms of specific requirements for movie stars. They will also point fingers. Anyway, there are really a lot of irritability.

The sum of some such things also made Li Chencan a little worried.

Sure enough, judging from the invitations of several superstars, although these guys have intentions, the requirements for remuneration and various other contract details are really high, and there are a lot. It's fine. Li Chencan's worries are even more, Nima's. It's not an invitation to act in a movie, it's an invitation to worship.

However, it is still only a negotiation stage, and they are also asking if Li Chencan can accept those conditions before they can continue to talk, if not...... Then I'm sorry.

Therefore, hearing Lu Weidong's words, Li Chencan was a little moved.

Lu Weidong at least has absolutely enough acting skills, and he is familiar with himself, and he also has enough tacit understanding of many of his directorial intentions...... And his age is about the same, and most importantly, he can endure hardships...... The ability to withstand danger is a little higher.

"Do you really have this intention?" Li Chencan also said bluntly: "I'll tell you first, I'm planning to make a war movie, there will be risks everywhere at that time, and you may still suffer a lot, I will torture your ...... with a hundred times stricter requirements than in "Infernal Affairs"."

Li Chencan: This can be regarded as saying ugly things in front.

Lu Weidong said with a smile on the phone: "Of course...... I'm not a hypocritical person, in a word, as long as I'm suitable, you plan to use my words, I will never shirk, and I won't have any excessive requirements, and your requirements will be fulfilled. ”

When Lu Weidong remembered "Infernal Affairs", although they did suffer a lot, the result was that "Infernal Affairs" was a fire, and then he himself was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and in those days, his progress was still obvious.

Therefore, he believes that in Li Chencan's new movie, there will definitely be more room for development, and of course, he will also do what he said.

Li Chencan heard Lu Weidong's assurance, and his heart was really warm, it seems that Lu Weidong really trusts himself very much, and also gives himself some guarantees that he needs very much......

"Good! Then in this week, when do you have time to come to me to try a few shots, and I will find a sense of the camera......" Although Li Chencan is already very familiar with Lu Weidong, he still hopes to be able to make him wear the military uniform at that time, and let him perform a few Lieutenant Miller movements to find a feeling for himself.

"Good! I'll be here tomorrow! Lu Weidong's speech was very fast, and he almost didn't give Li Chencan room to refuse.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

After Li Chencan hung up the phone, he thought for a while, and then called Sun Yunzhang and said: "Brother Sun, that's the case, they replied to the previous invitations, but at that time, I told you that those who were too demanding should be rejected for the time being......"

"Huh?" Sun Yunzhang was a little strange: "Don't you plan to use them?" ”

"I don't plan to do it for the time being, I'll use the extra salary to make a good movie." Li Chencan said directly.

He knows Lu Weidong, in fact, Lu Weidong is indeed quite suitable to play this role.

Tom. Hanks was 43 years old when he played Captain Miller, and Lu Weidong is now 36 years old, which is not much different in age anyway, and is basically suitable.

His temperament and the like are also more suitable...... Anyway, as long as you pass Li Chencan's review, you can pass it directly, and Li Chencan's review is actually not difficult.

So, if someone else's words, it's okay to just push it off......

Anyway, the selling point of this film is not a big star, but a war scene, so it is not a loss if there is no superstar to participate.

As for some of the other main actors in "Saving Private Ryan", most of Li Chencan are selected from the actors he has worked with, and there are so many characters in "Infernal Affairs", many of them are suitable for continuing to play "Saving Private Ryan", anyway, Li Chencan knows them well, and the most important thing is that they are relatively easy to use, and most of them can be determined.

It's mainly a matter of starring......

Soon, Lu Weidong flew to Rongcheng, and then put on a military uniform according to Li Chencan's request.

Li Chencan made him wear several military uniforms of the Chinese army of that era.

The Chinese army is the first army in the world to be equipped with camouflage uniforms on a large scale, and in World War II, camouflage uniforms have basically been popularized, and everyone in "Saving Private Ryan" wears more camouflage combat uniforms. Of course, there will also be military uniforms.

The military uniforms of the Chinese army during World War II are similar in design style to the 07-style PLA military uniforms in Li Chencan's previous time and space.

These two sets were worn on Lu Weidong's body, Li Chencan took a look, and it was really very heroic, and it felt like that when the time came to paint makeup.

Li Chencan was quite satisfied anyway, and then he asked Lu Weidong to perform several scenes in the script according to his own requirements, which was indeed very consistent.

Li Chencan immediately clapped: "It's you!" ”

"Okay!" Lu Weidong also laughed, he and Li Chencan are quite familiar anyway, but Li Chencan said next: "The movie will start filming in April, and in the next few days, you will have more than two weeks of military training, and there will be special instructors to train you...... During this time, you have to do whatever it is. When the time comes, it will be militarized. ”

The smile on the corner of Li Chencan's mouth made Lu Weidong feel a little gloating: "When the time comes, just enjoy it......"

Lu Weidong said directly: "Okay, I know the way!" ”

Li Chencan is really disgusted with such things as militarized training, because the military training in high school is only one week, but he wants to run away several times......

It's not that I'm afraid of being tired, or I feel troublesome, and I'm not free.

After setting Lu Weidong, Li Chencan felt quite good in his heart anyway, and many directors usually have a royal actor, such as Tony Leung for Wong Kar-wai, Jet Li for Tsui Hark...... Lu Weidong came over with him, and now both of them are famous in the film industry.

After determining Lu Weidong, Li Song also called Li Chencan and said that he was too partial, Li Song's words were a little joking, and Li Chencan didn't say much after talking to him.

After the cast is roughly decided, the preparation of the film is in full swing, including the venue, various equipment, props, including many solutions to some problems, etc...... It's all very troublesome, but now that the funds are in place, it's going on as fast as possible.

Li Chencan's personal studio also quickly announced the film plan for "Saving Private Ryan".

After the Normandy landings, Li Jiasan was among the sons who participated in the war on the front line, except for the youngest son Li Ruien, whose whereabouts are still unknown, the other two sons have been killed in various places within two weeks. After learning of the incident, General Ma Tuo, chief of staff of the army, out of humanitarian considerations, specially ordered a team of eight people to be organized at the front line, just to find Li Ruien, whose life and death were uncertain, in the vast sea of people and the rain of bullets, and send him back to the rear safely......"

This is the official movie synopsis given by Li Chencan's personal studio, and after this just appeared, the comments on the Internet instantly rushed over.
