Chapter 236: An Unexpected Arrival
At 10 o'clock in the morning of April 30, 2003, the sun was warm and the breeze was gentle, which was a good day for travel.
But in the JB area, it is exceptionally quiet.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and it doesn't look like the May Day holiday is coming at all.
Not long ago, a patient infected with SARS was found nearby.
Now the whole area is under control, according to the above meaning, the people stay at home for a week, confirm that there is no problem, and then restore in turn.
Faced with such a situation, the big guy has no choice but to accept the arrangement.
After all, Yangcheng has been in charge for several months, only a week, and they are much better than their brothers and sisters in Yangcheng.
In a suite of Binjiang Hotel, Li Shengyao put down his mobile phone with a solemn face.
In his previous life, when SARS broke out, he was in school, and he was also not allowed to go out at that time, and he recovered after a week.
He believes that the JB area will be restored soon, but their crew originally planned to start filming today, but now they can only push it back.
There were also a few old people in the crew who suggested that Lee Shengyao pick a good day again, which they felt was not a good sign.
Li Shengyao directly refused, when to unblock, when to turn on, they raced against time, and there was no time to delay such a thing.
He just called Wu Wenhui and asked him to send a notice on the situation of the crew in Yanjing, and at the same time, Fenghua Film and Television Company donated 1 million to help Guo Jia fight SARS.
There were also cases in Yanjing, and Wu Wenhui was very calm and dealt with quickly, which made Li Shengyao feel a little relieved
He then came to the window.
Yucheng is a mountain city with cyberpunk-like architecture.
There is a towering building in front of you, and there are more than 20 floors of buildings that look like flat ground, giving people a very fantastical feeling.
In that high-rise building, there were many people, and many people were trapped in the hotel just like Li Shengyao and them.
In the distance, Li Shengyao saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other, as if they were arguing.
He paused slightly, thinking of the young people in the crew.
Hugo and the others are all in their early twenties, and this age is the time to escape, and they are trapped in one place, and it is indeed easy to get into trouble.
Li Shengyao thought about it, and then went out, he planned to take Hu Ge and a few people to study the script, so as not to let these young people get bored and mess around in the hotel.
The actors of the five elementary schools have been determined, it is Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Wang Kai, Bai Lihe and Sun Yizhou.
There is also an important young man, that is, the role of the Korean version of Paula is played by Wan Qian.
Sun Yizhou is a young man they dug up not long ago, playing the role of the Korean version of Donglong.
The other actors of the five little ones, Cui Ze is Hu Ge, Zhenghuan is Yuan Hong, Shanyu is Wang Kai, and Bai Lihe is Deshan.
Of course, these names are all very peninsula-style, and the mainland version will take their names separately.
The script has long been given to these people, and when Li Shengyao was in Yanjing, he had already talked to them, and he had seen some clips of their performances, which were decent, but when it came to filming, it was difficult to say.
Postponing the shoot for seven days now may not necessarily be a bad thing.
Give these young people more buffer time.
Soon after, he met Wu Xiaoyi and Wan Qian in a small conference room in the hotel, and the six of them were sitting together studying the script.
This situation is even better than Li Shengyao expected, and this attitude is still okay.
When Hu Ge and the others saw Li Shengyao, they hurriedly stood up and said hello.
Li Shengyao waved his hand, "You're welcome, sit down, I'm here this time to see your situation, this time I may have to stay in the hotel for a week, since we can't go out for the time being, then continue to prepare in the hotel." ”
"You don't have to worry about whether you will be infected with SARS, the outside protection is very strict, and there are only a handful of cases in Yucheng."
He then pulled a chair and sat down, then took the script, "Come on, let me see your strength." ”
Hu Ge and the others are all acting students, so naturally they will not have stage fright, on the contrary, they are a little excited.
After all, they are young people, and they all want to express themselves, not to mention that the person who tested them was Li Dadao.
Then six young people performed in front of Lee Shengyao, some in a one-man show, some in a one-man show, and some with others.
Li Shengyao looked at it quietly, generally speaking, these six people are all middle-aged, and they have no particularly outstanding talents, but the lower limit is much higher than that of Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.
And they are all relatively diligent, and there is no problem in acting in "Please Answer 1988".
But naturally he won't point it out directly.
It will be several days before it can be turned on, and it is necessary to press them and give them some goals, so that they do not become complacent.
Therefore, Li Shengyao has been very quiet, he doesn't have too many opinions, just nods, or sighs.
Hu Ge and the others didn't know the situation, and they thought that Li Shengyao was not satisfied with their performance.
After all, Director Li is notoriously strict in making TV series.
Only then did Li Shengyao stand up at lunchtime, point out some problems that a few people had just performed, and then said that this is the end of today, in the afternoon and evening, they will study by themselves, and he will come back tomorrow morning to check.
It's still very simple to find fault, what he said is reasonable and well-founded, and Hu Ge and the others really listened to it.
After a few moments, Li Shengyao strode away.
Wan Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, "The director's requirements are so strict, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to complete it." ”
Hu Ge and the others nodded, all of them were a little worried that they would not perform well tomorrow, and they would be criticized at that time.
"Otherwise, let's ask the teachers."
In addition to a few of their young people in this drama, there is also a group of old actors who play their parents' generation, these people are carefully selected by Lee Shengyao and the assistant directors, and there is absolutely no problem with their acting skills.
The proposal was immediately endorsed by others.
Two hours later, Li Shengyao got the news, and the assistant gave a thumbs up, "Director, it's really good, after your assessment, these young people are immediately motivated, and these seven days may be able to make their acting skills grow explosively, and the quality of this drama will definitely be higher." ”
Where there will be any explosive growth.
These people are not Zhang Manyu, who can suddenly open their minds.
In Li Shengyao's previous life, they acted for more than ten or twenty years, and they were still at that level.
Li Shengyao ignored the assistant's praise, he thought for a while and said: "In the afternoon, you go and contact the hotel manager, we hope that the food here can be arranged properly, the money is not a problem, try to be rich." ”
"Understood."
"I'm going to go over in the afternoon to talk to the workers, and then you can see if you can buy cigarettes and come with me."
The young actors need to find something to do for them, and the field workers need to be appeased.
Li Shengyao hoped that the past few days would go smoothly, so he went to find a field worker in the afternoon, and the assistant director chatted with them.
Let's take a look at what you need.
In short, you must get through this lockdown period safely and smoothly, and then shoot in the best condition.
