Chapter 257: The female lead of "My Uncle".
It's still very cold in Yanjing in February.
It was a dark day, a cold wind howling, and it looked like a new round of cold air was coming.
Li Shengyao stood in the office of Fenghua Film and Television Company, quietly looking out the window.
After the Lunar New Year, he returned to Yanjing with Chen Hao on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Chen Hao had to rest for a while, and he went to work.
The main thing is to first determine the male and female protagonists of "My Uncle".
And today, he will meet the heroine he envisioned in his heart at the company.
"Boss, she's coming."
The assistant knocked on the door to remind the people who were waiting today that they had come.
Li Shengyao nodded, "Let her in." ”
A girl walked into the office with big eyes and anticipation, "Hello director, we're meeting again." ”
This girl looks okay, she is more neighbored, she is the little aunt Deng Jiajia.
When filming "Signal" before, the two had cooperated, and more than two years later, Deng Jiajia was twenty years old and entered. Studied at the Department of Acting, Communication University.
Regarding the appearance of the heroine, in the plot of the Korean version of "My Uncle", there is actually a faint introduction.
When the uncle first saw the heroine, he thought this girl was beautiful.
Later, the uncle and the heroine secretly took pictures of people, and the villain wanted to use the ambiguous photos of the two people to frame the uncle for having an affair with the heroine, but the people in the company didn't believe it.
At that time, someone said of the heroine, "Fortunately, you are not very beautiful, and everyone doesn't believe that he will cheat on you." ”
Through these two plots, it can be known that the heroine is okay, but she is not very beautiful, about seventy.
The Korean version chooses IU, and it's really a good choice.
Later, the mainland wanted to remake, and it is said that the heroine chose Zhang Ziyi, and Li Shengyao felt that this casting was actually not bad.
Zhang Ziqi is the kind of girl who is seventy points.
According to this physical condition, looking for young girls, this range can be narrowed down a lot.
The setting of the heroine in "My Uncle" is in her early twenties, and IU was twenty-five years old when she played it.
The actress Li Shengyao is looking for is between the ages of 20 and 25.
From this point in time, it is necessary to find an actress seven or eight years later.
He thought about it and found that the female stars he knew were too beautiful at this age.
He gradually rose from seven or eight years, and finally thought of Deng Jiajia.
However, although Deng Jiajia's appearance is consistent, and in his previous life, he later got the actress, but whether he can play this role well at this time, Li Shengyao is not sure.
The heroine of "My Uncle" was originally a very mourning person.
Her father was a bad gambler, not only did he die a long time ago, but he was also in debt.
Her grandmother was paralyzed in bed.
Under such family conditions, the heroine went out after graduating from high school, and in order to give her grandmother a better life and pay off her debts, she worked three or four jobs a day.
However, she does not have a diploma, and her salary is pressed by the average job.
She is a short-term worker, and in this case, she is in poor health, with a vegetable face and a thin body.
In order not to be bullied, she armed herself, covered in spikes, and was indifferent and contemptuous to others, and was very rude.
But then she met her uncle, and was gradually moved by his uncle's quality, and began to try to seriously accept her imperfections and accept the world.
The transformation is very subtle and subtle in the plot.
In a TV series with a total of sixteen episodes, there will be a change of mindset in almost two or three episodes.
It's not easy to play this role well.
Here I have to praise the casting of "My Uncle".
Li Shengyao remade several Korean dramas, except for the poor choice of the heroine of "Signal", who opened her eyes and opened her big eyes, the Korean version of the heroine was very well chosen.
It is said that after the "My Uncle" project was confirmed, many Korean entertainment actresses went to audition, including Lin Yuna and Park Shin Hye.
Park Shin Hye acted in several popular Korean dramas such as "The Inheritors", "It Turned Out to Be a Beautiful Man" and so on.
But the Korean director did not choose them, but chose IU, who was born as a singer.
Although IU was born as a singer and her acting training since she was a child is far inferior to that of Lim Yoona and Park Shin Hye, her acting talent is indeed higher than that of Lim Yoona and Park Shin Hye.
Until Lee Sung-yao crossed over, Lim Yoona was just a vase, and Park Shin-hye seemed to retire after marriage.
Lim Yoona starred in "Extreme Escape", which broke the box office record on the Peninsula.
But no one in the peninsula thinks that she is out of the circle, no one thinks that her acting skills have improved, she is still a vase.
And IU has been able to take the lead alone, and "Hotel De Luna" is basically her solo show.
The male protagonist of the Korean version of "My Uncle" is Lee Sun-kyun, that is, the male owner of the villa in "Parasite", and he is a powerful actor in the peninsula.
IU played with him, and he didn't fall behind at all.
Later, IU also acted in "The Broker", and the director of this movie is Hirokazu Kore-eda, a film master who can still start work in the island country.
It can be said that she has become a real actress.
Li Shengyao met Deng Jiajia today, not only to ask her to sign Fenghua, but also to mention it, and strive to let Deng Jiajia find the feeling of the heroine of "My Uncle" in the short term.
"Signed?"
"Just signed."
Deng Jiajia has already acted in several plays, all of which are not very important roles, and there is no brokerage company looking for her for the time being.
Just the day before yesterday, she suddenly received a call from Fenghua Film and Television Company, asking her if she was interested in joining Fenghua.
She was naturally interested, and excitedly said that she could go at any time.
So she took a plane overnight, rushed to Yanjing from her hometown, rested for a night, and came over today.
Just signed the contract, she felt like she was dreaming, and when she looked at Li Shengyao at this time, she was sure that it was true.
"Okay, I want to use you as the heroine in my next play."
When Deng Jiajia heard this, he almost screamed.
Fortunately, she knew that it was not suitable now, and Li Dadao was sitting opposite.
"But this role is not very easy to play, I will give you the script now, and then you have to study it carefully, I will check it in half a month, if you can't satisfy me, I will change people."
Deng Jiajia nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, director, I will definitely prepare well." ”
Li Shengyao smiled and didn't answer, he looked at Deng Jiajia silently, for about two or three seconds, "I've been reading the script well recently, if you don't understand something, you can ask your teacher or me." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll study it carefully."
"Finally, I have eaten less recently, the setting of the heroine Li Xiaoan is a girl who grew up in a miserable environment, and her face has no flesh."
The Korean version of the heroine is called Li Zhi'an, and the mainland version of Li Shengyao is changed to Li Xiao'an.
Deng Jiajia didn't dare to think about it, nodded again and again, and said that he would definitely follow Li Shengyao's instructions.
The attitude is okay, Li Shengyao smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "I will go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and find an actor to play the leading role, if you don't play well, it will be very bad in comparison, but if you can play well, there will be a major improvement on your future performance."
