Chapter 165: Actor Candidates
The next day, a high-end tea room club in the imperial capital.
Fang Yan sat in the box, drinking the authentic Wuyi Mountain big red robe, looking very leisurely.
After waiting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door of the box, and then two well-dressed men walked in.
"Director Fang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
One of the men took off his mask, and he was the protagonist of "No Thieves in the World" - Liu Dehua.
"Brother Hua, it's too foreign for you to say that, you're welcome!"
After Fang Yan and Liu Dehua finished greeting each other, they said to another man next to them, "Hello Mr. Xiang, we meet again."
"Fang Dao, this is fate!"
Xiang Hua took off her sunglasses and said with emotion: "Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, we meet again, Fang Dao, you have reached a higher level!"
"Everywhere, it's just a name."
Fang Yan smiled slightly, beckoned the two of them to take their seats, and poured them a cup of hot tea.
Fang Yan invited the two to the imperial capital this time to discuss the cooperation of the movie "Casting a Name", one of which has been basically determined, that is, Liu Dehua will appear in the film.
However, Liu Dehua's appearance this time is very different from the original time and space, he is not going to play Zhao Erhu, but Jiang Wuyang.
The character of "Zhao Erhu" is uneducated and gangster, emphasizing love and righteousness, and the standard image of a Liangshan hero.
Liu Dehua's interpretation is very good, showing the character characteristics of the characters, but there are still some shortcomings, lack of real gangsterism.
Fang Yan feels that Liu Dehua is more suitable to play "Jiang Wuyang", this role is more simple and innocent than "Pang Qingyun", he is simple and innocent, and has no quarrel with the world; Compared with "Zhao Erhu", he is slightly sensible and understands the benefits and disadvantages.
The actor of "Jiang Wuyang" in the original time and space is the famous handsome guy Jin Chengwu in the Chinese film industry, and there are really few people who are his opponents in terms of appearance, and he is so handsome.
may be because he is too handsome, although Kaneshiro Wu played "Jiang Wuyang" very well, it always makes people feel a little dramatic.
When Chen Kexin first invited Jin Chengwu, he was directly closed, because this movie made three taboos for him to take over the scene.
First, Jin Chengwu does not shoot the male protagonist's drama, in other words, he wants to be the absolute male lead, and it is obvious that "Casting the Name" is the third male lead.
Second, Jin Chengwu is reluctant to make costume dramas, and the only costume drama he has acted in before is "Ambush on All Sides".
Third, Jin Chengwu didn't want to take on scenes where the filming environment was too hard, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to persevere.
Some people may think that as a professional actor, where did Jin Chengwu get so many problems!
However, those who are familiar with Jin Chengwu know that he is a person who has no quarrel with the world, filming is just an interest, and enjoying life is the most important thing.
In order to convince Jin Chengwu, Chen Kexin made great efforts and grinded his tongue for two months before finally winning the other party.
The biggest reason why Chen Kexin was able to invite Jin Chengwu was that the relationship was good, if it weren't for the fact that the two were old friends, the chance of success would be minimal.
From Fang Yan's point of view, first of all, he and Jin Chengwu are not friends, and secondly, he is too lazy to spend time grinding people, just change people to act.
"Director Fang, I've always been curious, why did you choose to cooperate with me?"
Faced with Xiang Huaying's question, Fang Yan took a sip of tea without hurry, revealing an indifferent smile.
"Actually, it's very simple, the production cost of "Casting a Name" is very high, and it is a good thing to have one more company to cooperate and invest."
After preliminary estimates, the production cost of "Casting the Name" is at least 100 million, which is a bit large, although Xinghuo Film and Television and Huaying Group can get it, but the burden is a bit large.
There is no way, most of the money on Fang Yan's side is used for investment, and before the "Legend" game is officially launched, he has to spend money leisurely.
Xinghuo Film and Television, Huaying Group, plus Huaxia Star Group, the three of them cooperate to invest, which can not only reduce risks, but also enhance strength, why not?
Hearing Fang Yan's explanation, Xiang Hua touched his chin and smiled meaningfully.
"Director Fang, there should be other reasons, right?"
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from Mr. Xiang." Fang Yan smiled calmly and said, "I want to invite two Xiangjiang filmmakers to join the crew of "Casting a Name", and I hope Mr. Xiang can help match this matter."
Xiang Hua asked with interest, "I wonder which two people you want to invite?"
Fang Yan raised his right index finger and said, "The first person is an actor, Leung Jiahui, the actor with a thousand faces!"
"Leung Ka Fai?!" Xiang Huaying thought for a while, and immediately reacted, "You want to find him to play Pang Qingyun?"
"That's right!"
In the original "Vote for Fame" movie, the three leading actors actually played well, but if you compare carefully, Li Lianjie is even better.
Through this movie, Li Lianjie broke the stereotype of "martial arts is great, but literary drama is not good", which made people look at him with admiration, and he also won the Best Actor at the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
But after careful analysis, the reason why Li Lianjie was able to win the best actor was partly due to his acting skills, and partly because of the role of "Pang Qingyun".
Pang Qingyun is a very complex character, he is like a coin, with two completely different faces.
On the positive side, he is a tragic hero with ideals and ambitions, who thinks about the people of the world, but is born at the wrong time.
On the contrary, he is a wicked person who is treacherous and commits adultery with his brother and daughter-in-law, and in the end he can be regarded as innocent.
For an actor, the role of "Pang Qingyun" has a lot of room to play, as long as it is played by an excellent actor, it will naturally shine.
In terms of the actor selection of "Pang Qingyun", Fang Yan thought about it for a long time, and only made a decision in the last few days,
The original Li Lianjie's salary is too high, and he is currently filming "Hero", so he will be passed first.
Then there is superstar Chow Yun-eun, who is very suitable for playing the role of a hero, but he is also too paid to afford it.
In fact, even if Fang Yan is willing to pay a sky-high salary, Zhou Runfa is probably unwilling to act, after all, he is now popular with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and his primary goal is to break out in Hollywood.
In the end, Fang Yan chose to invite Liang Jiahui from various aspects such as salary, acting skills, fame, etc.
In the entire Chinese film industry, there should be few people at the same level as Leung Jiahui in terms of performance.
Even in the minds of many people, Leung Jiahui is the "No. 1 Chinese actor", although this statement is somewhat absolute, but it shows his super strength.
In terms of acting skills, Leung Ka-fai can be said to be perfect and natural, he can always accurately grasp the pulse of the characters, and integrate the character characteristics of the characters into the specific background of the times in the movie.
"To be an actor is to be able to play any role!"
This is Leung Jiahui's original words, he does have this confidence, and "Thousand Faces Actor" is people's best evaluation of him.
