305 Casting, Everything, Boot
The film has entered the preparation stage, thanks to the strong and energetic team of the current Xingchen, so everything in the preparation work is very efficient.
Calculate the time, and it will be about ten days before filming can start.
During this time, various tasks such as sets and casting will be completed.
In terms of casting, Lu Ping'an first visited Mr. Li Xuejian in person.
Li Xuejian knew that Lu Ping'an was coming to visit, and their whole family was waiting for them.
Although the current Li Xuejian is extremely successful as an actor, he is indeed short of money now because of an illness.
So to act or not?
After reading the script, Comrade Li said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Good script, it's suitable for me, but I'm not worth a million, right?" ”
This made the eyes of the wife beside him straighten.
Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "Old artist, it's worth the price." ”
Li Xuejian shook his head and continued to refuse, and finally the two reached an agreement of 1 million to cover the salary of Li Xuejian and his wife Yu Haidan, who is also an actor.
Yu Haidan's professional ability is also good
In addition, Lao Li's body does have to be taken care of.
The packaging is indeed suitable.
The matter was finalized, followed by another actor, Lu Ping'an locked Li Chengru at the beginning, but he had no schedule.
This big boss is very chic, he acts when he is free, and there is a crew that can enter at any time.
When Lu Ping'an contacted him, he had just joined a certain crew for three days, and he would not retreat if he retreated, the gentlemen of the capital, if you can't talk, you can't talk, so he called it a pity, and then agreed to cooperate next time.
Li Chengru couldn't come, Lu Ping'an turned to Zheng Shaoqiu, but it didn't work, Qiu Guan said that now the film is gone, Lu Ping'an knows that he will come out of the mountain again in a few years and shoot a TV series with the main theme.
If you don't come, don't come, Lu Ping'an had to use the backup plan and contact Guorong, but Guorong was not available, he said that he would have an event to host with Han Hong.
So in the end, Lu Ping'an contacted Andy, the third substitute.
Andy was very surprised when he received the call: "Road guide? ”
"Brother Hua, it's me."
"Wow, I said why my left eyelid keeps jumping today, it turns out that a great thing is coming."
"Haha, Brother Hua, it's boring for you to come to this set too."
"Where, you are a big Hollywood director, if you can cooperate with you, you can really burn high incense."
"Don't be like this, I'm embarrassed if you say it again, let's talk about it, there's a role I want you to play, and I'll start shooting in ten days."
"In such a hurry?"
"It's okay, because I decided to shoot this film yesterday."
"Wow, it's really Director Lu's style, okay, you're in the capital, I'll come over in the afternoon."
“OK!”
Don't think about it, the current top director in China, and the story overview sounds really interesting, with humanistic care, and can test acting skills, so you will refuse directly if you are stupid.
In the afternoon, Andy and his party arrived as scheduled.
At this time, Li Xuejian was also in Xingchen Company.
After meeting, Lu Ping'an gave the script directly.
"It's a story of life and death."
The two protagonists in the film are set to be 50 years old, the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but they both encountered a serious illness of life and death, which will also make the plot more intriguing.
In fact, Andy is 45 years old this year, and Li Xuejian is 52 years old.
But the two are together, at least 10 years apart.
If it is set to 50 years old, Li Xuejian is slightly older, but it is normal for a car repairer to be old due to fatigue.
Of course, there will be a wave of makeup in the film, for example, after chemotherapy, Andy will be much older than at the beginning.
At this point, both of them have acting skills, and there is no big problem.
Lu Ping'an asked: "If you want to shave your head, can you?" ”
Andy and Li Xuejian looked at each other, and then smiled: "Okay! ”
Needless to say, Andy responded directly.
The salary is 12 million, the market price.
As a result, coupled with Lu Ping'an's reduced remuneration and production costs, the overall cost has reached 100 million.
If you subtract advertising sponsorship or something, it's not easy to get back your money.
But it doesn't matter if the road is safe.
The main purpose of this film is the "Three Wars" and the subsequent one-fish two-eat.
So it's just a cost of 100 million, and it's not a big problem.
The two protagonists have decided, and Andy and Li Xuejian will go to the hospital to eat and sleep together from tomorrow to experience life.
They are all good actors.
At dinner in the evening, Lu Ping'an learned that in order to catch up with the cooperation with himself, Andy pushed a lot of scheduled itineraries.
Lu Ping'an said: "More cooperation in the future." ”
And then there's the supporting actor.
The supporting actor in the original version also played a big role.
The first thing Lu Ping'an thought of was Zhang Songwen.
My own brother, over the years, except for the beginning, and later in his own movies, it was time to give a big one.
Now he is much stronger than the same period in the original plane.
Zhang Songwen can completely catch it.
It's just that speaking of Zhang Songwen, he should still be filming "Soldier Assault" in the Kunming military camp now.
But there are not many scenes, just a red third company commander, and now the filming has been completed, and then he helps in the crew.
Lu Ping'an made a phone call and recalled it directly.
When he returned to the capital the next day, Liu Qianqian just returned to the capital to rest after running the notice for a period of time.
At the same time, Ning Hao's Zhou Zhou and Huang Bo were also empty, but Baoqiang was missing and still playing Xu Sanduo.
So a group of brothers made a hot pot.
Then in the evening, everyone ate hot pot in the courtyard while waiting for the start of "Condor".
There was a small interview before the start of "Condor", and it happened that Liu Qianqian was asked, "Some people say that you are not like Xiaolongnu, what do you think." ”
Liu Qianqian on TV talked eloquently, very in-depth, reasonable, well-founded and restrained.
brought out the age, image, and martial arts of the original work, and mentioned the character's mentality, and then extended that "every actor and character has a side of resemblance and dislike".
Mature, intellectual, cultured, and beautiful.
As a result, when I turned around, the little dragon girl in reality and Lu Ping'an fought hard for beef in the hot pot.
Liu Qianqian: "Let it go, this is what I put in." ”
Lu Ping'an: "You re-clip!" ”
Liu Qianqian: "Why are you so laipi, do you want to fight for bottle blowing?" ”
Lu Ping'an: "I'm still afraid of you, Bozi, open the bottle!" ”
A group of people roared and coaxed, Liu Qianqian laughed and snorted her teeth, and begged for mercy directly in the next second: "I'll give you beef shabu!" ”
One second it was full of gangsterism, and the next second it became a bun.
But on TV, it is the fairy little dragon girl who appears.
The two figures are staggered, but unfortunately no one took this world-famous painting.
At night, Lu Ping'an stayed at Lizi's house, which he hadn't seen for a long time.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much.
After the passion, the two hugged each other and talked.
Lu Ping'an said: "You come to my new film to make a cameo, and play the role of a daughter who has not seen her divorced father for a long time." ”
Yan Danchen has "Peak 3", so if you want to pear, you will give a cameo in this piece.
This can be regarded as a bowl of water for Director Lu Da.
Pear is 30 years old this year, but the maintenance is good, it's no problem to play a 25-year-old, and it's not a big problem to hold a child.
After hearing this, Lizi looked up at Lu Ping'an and said movingly: "Ping'an, is this written specifically for me?" ”
At the end of last year, after Lu Ping'an took the initiative to prepare a gift for Pear's father, Pear's feelings for Lu Ping'an also deepened.
Now that Lu Ping'an mentions her father again, it will inevitably make her feel that this is a scene written specifically for her.
Lu Ping'an also realized that the pear might have misunderstood, but he didn't deny it: "What's wrong?" Didn't see it last time? ”
"Well, I wanted to go last time, but I didn't make it."
"Why?"
"Say it's out of town."
"Then talk to him on the phone."
"I think Dad may not be doing well, but he doesn't want to say more."
"Maybe, it's really not a good time, men have a good face."
As he spoke, Lu Ping'an made a messenger to add a sentence, "I'll go with you next time." ”
After speaking, before he could regret it, the pear pounced: "Really? ”
"Fake, I regret it, is that okay?"
"Of course not!"
The mood of the pear becomes extremely beautiful.
But soon said, "You're so busy, you still don't have to go, but I accept your wishes." ”
As she spoke, Pear hugged Lu Ping'an tightly, with tears in her eyes.
Like Yan Danchen last time, what Lu Ping'an inadvertently revealed this time was a further recognition of pears.
In the current situation of increasing safety on the road, such a statement is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for women.
In this regard, Lu Ping'an only thinks that next year will be able to shoot "The Wind".
A week later, the "Bucket List" was completed.
Two days later, the Star Production Base.
The "Bucket List" is officially launched.
