For ordinary people, the biggest news in September 2011 was the broadcast of "Step by Step", and it exploded.

For people in the entertainment industry, the most important thing in September is that the new film "Parasite" directed by Lee Shengyao has passed the review, the project has been approved, and the selection of actors has begun.

It is said that in addition to the male lead, this movie will also choose nine more important actors.

They play the roles of the male protagonist's wife, son, daughter, and a wealthy family of four, as well as a former domestic servant couple.

After the praise of Yan Gechen, Lao Mouzi, as well as Han Sanping, Section Chief Jia and other bigwigs, in the eyes of many insiders, Director Li's new film is another movie that will hit the award.

Such a movie is hard to come by, and naturally it attracts a lot of attention, and many people want to leave a name in such a movie.

Recently, there have been a lot of people who have recommended themselves, and even Chen Daoming, Li Youbin, Zhang Guoli, Wang Zhiwen and others have found Li Shengyao and personally went to the headquarters of Fenghua Film and Television Company to audition.

Lee Shengyao is very grateful for the importance of these powerful factions, and he also led the assistant directors to carefully watch the performance of the teachers and choose the most suitable candidates fairly and justly.

Dapeng has not followed Li Shengyao recently, he has been prompted by Li Shengyao to make a funny short drama that reflects ordinary men, and he is writing a script with the team.

The assistant directors who have been with Li Shengyao recently, in addition to those old people, the newcomers are mainly Zhang Mo and Bi Gan.

Bi Gan had already started school, but he was reluctant to go to school to study, so he wanted to follow Li Shengyao to learn more.

On this morning, the sky was overcast, and layers of clouds obscured the sun.

The autumn wind blows lonely, and it is very bleak.

The yellow leaves fly down and make a shivering sound.

Zhang Mo and Bi Gan had just sent Yu Rongxiao away, and then returned to Li Shengyao's office.

Yu Rongqi also came to audition for the actor in "Parasite".

Zhang Mo saw Li Shengyao holding a teacup, smiling, and looking in a good mood, so he boldly asked: "Director, why do you say that Yu Rongxiao would want to come over to audition for the actor in "Parasite". ”

The entire Chinese film and television industry pays attention to "Parasite", and the big guys naturally know the role requirements of this movie.

It's like a male protagonist, asking for a man who is about fifty years old and looks mediocre after all.

Yu Rongqi is obviously not suitable, this big guy is not just a star, his status in Yunan is similar to Uncle Benshan in the Northeast.

Uncle Benshan can also play some small characters, but Yu Rongqi can't play it, his aura is there, and he knows at a glance that he is not a person to be messed with.

The reason why he came to audition, Lee Shengyao had some guesses.

"Teacher Yu just came to show his attitude of cooperation, this time the role of "Parasite" is not suitable for him, it does not mean that there is no role suitable for him in the future."

In fact, the script of "Parasite" has been reviewed by radio and television, and it is written according to the script adapted by Lee Shengyao, which is a story that takes place on Hong Kong Island.

Not only is Yu Rongqi not suitable, Li Youbin, Chen Daoming and others are not suitable, their age and acting skills are no problem, but the aura of famous actors in the mainland is too strong, and playing a small person on Hong Kong Island has the wrong temperament.

Maybe these powerful actors can make up for it with their acting skills, but in the eyes of the audience, they will still play a little.

Regarding the choice of the leading actor, Li Shengyao did not consider the powerful actors in the mainland from the beginning.

It's like Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli, their aura is really too strong.

He still hopes to choose the right actor on Hong Kong Island.

Yu Rongqi and Chen Daoming are all smart people, so they naturally think of this problem, and they are willing to audition, which is to show their attitude of cooperation, and they are willing to cooperate with Director Li to increase their impression points, in case there is a suitable role in the future, it will be easier to promote cooperation.

When Zhang Mo heard this, he thought of Lao Mouzi's film preparations, and there were many well-known actors auditioning.

She understands that in the hearts of the vast majority of practitioners in the Chinese film and television industry, she is afraid that Li Shengyao is almost the same as Lao Mouzi.

Looking at Director Li's young face, Zhang Mo admired it.

They are all young people, why is Li Shengyao so good?

Bi Gan didn't think about it so much, he looked out of the door, and then said: "Director, the actor of the actor's daughter, there is information from the brokerage department, and they asked if Master Liu can act?"

With the popularity of "Step by Step", Liu Shishi claims to have 300 million little lions, and has become the new top class of domestic entertainment.

If she can act in a heavyweight movie at this time, it will definitely take her career to the next level.

Still.

There are more long-range shots in TV dramas, the TV frame is small, and the requirements for actors' acting skills are not so high, but on the big screen, it is different, the eyes are dull, the facial features are flat, or the facial lines are not smooth, which are all fatal flaws.

Master Liu's appearance is actually okay, but the eye drama really needs to be improved.

The daughter of the male protagonist of "Parasite" is a female Luthor with a great talent for drawing, greedy and bold.

In most of the plots, her performance is relatively simple.

There is only one scene, which will be more difficult to interpret, that is, she hid with her parents and brother, listening to the rich couple hey, and when the rich man said that he liked her underwear, at that time she had a big close-up of her face, that kind of shame, grievance, timidity, and sadness, which still requires a relatively deep foundation.

Li Shengyao didn't think that Master Liu could complete this performance well.

He is not Wong Kar-wai, filming a drama for several years, giving the actor enough time to ponder.

"She can't do it, tell the brokerage department, let them pick carefully, see if there is a script for beating women, if suitable, you can customize a movie specifically for her."

Master Liu's acting skills are not very good, especially when he plays the role of Wen Tun, he will be very awkward and playful.

She is suitable for playing some roles with no change in expression, such as Yan Sanniang in "Strange Man Yizhimei".

Bi Gan nodded, in the past, this job was done by Dapeng, and every time Li Shengyao made a decision, Dapeng would follow with a few praises, as if it was not so embarrassing.

But Bi Gan couldn't praise it, he continued: "Wang Kai, Yuan Hong's agent sent a message to ask if they could play the hero's son." ”

"No, both of these are too handsome and too old."

The son of the actor of "Parasite" is about twenty years old, Wang Kai and Yuan Hong are both running for three, they have been actors for several years, although they have not become popular, they are famous, they have made a lot of money, their eyes are confident, and their appearance is also thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is not suitable for that role.

Regarding this role, Lee Shengyao wanted to find an acting student who had not yet graduated, and he could not be too handsome.

Bi Gan continued: "The role of the rich man's daughter, Song Zuer, Guan Xiaotong, and Yang Zi's agents have all sent information, and after serious discussion, several of our assistant directors feel that the three of them are not suitable. ”

Song Zuer's temperament is too small, Guan Xiaotong's words are too high, and Yang Zi's age is not suitable.

Lee wanted to find a good girl about fifteen years old to play the role.

He nodded, "Yes, the three of them are indeed not suitable. ”

Bi Gan finished reporting, and then left Li Shengyao's office with Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo said in a low voice: "The director's selection is really strict, I thought he would agree to use Fenghua people." ”

In her opinion, if it were other film and television companies, they would inevitably agree to Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong's request.

And Li Shengyao directly refused, such a business-like attitude was very handsome in Zhang Mo's opinion.

She imagined that one day she could decide on an actor like Lee Shengyao.

Bi Gan smiled and did not speak.

At this moment, a crisp footsteps sounded at the elevator, and the sound in the office hall suddenly became a little quieter.

Bi Gan couldn't help but look over and saw a woman in regular clothes.

This woman is the crooked actress who has accompanied him for many nights, and the important enlightenment teacher of his life - Shu Qi.

Many people don't like Shu Qi's appearance and feel that the eyes are too small and the mouth is too big.

But that was on the big screen, offline, and the defects in her facial features were not so obvious.

And her excellent figure is a plus.

Bi Gan is officially in the circle, and he has seen many female stars with Li Shengyao, but there are very few actresses who can compare with Shu Qi.

When he saw the teacher at this time, he couldn't help but blush.

Zhang Mo noticed the change in Bi Gan's expression and pouted, "Heh, man ......"

Shu Qi naturally came to find Li Shengyao, she had already made an appointment, although she didn't wear a dress, but a pair of high heels, walking with a twist, long hair fluttering, and all kinds of amorous.

Zhang Mo looked envious.

"Director Li won't take it for her, right?"

"Shu Qi came over, it should be for the role of a rich wife."

"Bang!"

Shu Qi entered Li Shengyao's office and closed the door by the way.

Bi Gan withdrew his gaze, and there was envy in his eyes.

The expressions of the other male employees were similar to those of Bi Gan, and many of the people present were Shu Qi students.

When Zhang Mo saw it, she couldn't help but be even more worried that Shu Qi would win Li Shengyao, she felt that Shu Qi did not meet the requirements of the role.

Shu Qi's appearance is too modern and glamorous.

A rich wife should need an actress who looks more gentle.

"Director Li, I can also play the role of a good wife and mother, please give me a chance."

In Li Shengyao's office, Li Shengyao sat opposite Shu Qi, he poured a cup of tea for Shu Qi, Shu Qi put her legs together, her tone was sincere, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she seemed to have entered the role.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the role of the rich wife in "Parasite" was played by Zhao Ruzhen, who was actually on the throne with a sunny film.

However, Zhao Ruzhen is more feminine in appearance and more traditional in temperament than Shu Qi, and she is still very convincing to play the wife of a rich man.

Shu Qi's words, this father who has been connected to the dawn for a long time doesn't like it, how can he convince the audience?

When he received a call from Shu Qi, Li Shengyao refused, but Shu Qi still came, and his attitude remained unchanged.

"Miss Shu, there is still a big gap between you and the requirements of this role, and I can't agree to you."

Regarding the character of the rich wife, it is actually the character who is asked the most.

Not only Shu Qi, Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Ziyi, Li Lianhua, Zhu Bingbing and a series of actresses have called to inquire.

These people all refused directly to Li Shengyao.

To put it mildly, they are not like rich wives, taking Zhu Lingling as an example, in Li Shengyao's eyes, rich wives are best to be atmospheric and gentle.

Zhao Ruzhen is not very atmospheric, at least gentle.

Like Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Ziyi, and Li Lianhua, they are a little different from the temperament of this character.

The old Zhao Yanzi is not beautiful enough.

Zhang Ziyi and Li Lianhua's faces are too small and too pointed, and they are not polite to say that they are a little fierce at this time, and they are not suitable for playing Mrs. Kuo.

When Shu Qi heard this, she was not disappointed, she already knew Li Shengyao's answer.

She got up and stood up, and then came to sit down next to Li Shengyao, "Director Li, the makeup artist can help me solve the image problem, I will definitely be able to play this role well, you help me, I owe you a favor." ”

Shu Qi is about the same age as Zhao Yanzi, and she can be said to be the hottest actress in this age group on Hong Kong Island Wanwan.

got close to Hua Yi before and acted in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 12", which made her career in the mainland progress a lot.

Still.

It is impossible for the big and small kings to spoil her all the time, and Xiao Gangcang will not keep filming "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", she will not have a good movie this year.

Hua Yi has recently been very close to the crooked Niu Chengxue, as if she wants to cooperate in a new movie.

Shu Qi should be able to get the role.

But who is Niu Chengxue, just a director who is not famous in the mainland.

Shu Qi felt that if she wanted to maintain her popularity, she had to act in the works of great directors, and Lee Shengyao's "Parasite" perfectly suited her requirements.

It is said that the rich man in "Parasite" intends to invite Liu Dehua to act, so she is even hotter.

This is the reason why Li Shengyao obviously rejected her, and she still had to come over in person to fight for it.

Shu Qi sat close, and Li Shengyao could feel the tone of her speech.

Thinking of his previous life, when he was a teenager, he went to an Internet café to watch Shu Qi's action blockbuster all night, and Li Shengyao found that he had feelings.

Shu Qi then reached out and grabbed Li Shengyao's arm, "Director Li, help, I owe you a favor, no matter what you want me to do, I will promise you, okay." ”

Her upper body leaned towards Li Dadao, although it was cold now and everyone had added a coat, she could still feel it clearly.

Li Shengyao secretly recited Amitabha Buddha a few times, and then shook his head, "Miss Shu, let's have a chance to cooperate again in the future, this time it is not suitable." ”

He seduced many actresses this year, but he didn't take that step.

Chen Hao and they are pregnant, and he plans to restrain them a little, which can be regarded as respect for them.

As far as this year is concerned, don't say Shu Qi, Monica. Bellucci is coming, and Li Shengyao will be Hui Yanagishita, and everything will be talked about next year.

When Shu Qi heard this, she threw herself into Li Shengyao's arms with one hand, hugging Director Li, "Director, give me a chance?"

She writhed her body, it was hot, and the perfume smell was strong, even a little pungent.

Li Shengyao was much more sober about this fragrance, he smiled, and his eyes were a little colder.

If Shu Qi is suitable, he doesn't need to behave like this, he will consider it.

But Shu Qi is not suitable, and he will not allow him to sleep for half a year.

Since he crossed over, all the works he directed himself tried to find actors with suitable roles, and it is impossible to say that at this time, to direct such an important movie as "Parasite" has broken the rules.

Shu Qi noticed Li Shengyao's gaze and was startled, she hurriedly let go of her hand and said timidly: "Director, I'm sorry, I was rude." ”

"It's okay, you go back, this role is not for you, and you will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Li Shengyao still said this set of words, but Shu Qi could hear the distance in Director Li's words.

She was disappointed in her heart, she was coquettish with the big and small kings, and the little steel cannon, these men were all easily turned into beasts, turned into tigers, and quickly pounced on her, and Li Shengyao ...... There was no movement.

She knew that it wasn't that Director Li couldn't do it, but that she couldn't get into Director Li's eyes.

I can't act in "Parasite", I can only act in a movie that Niu Chengcho chooses.

That's a big gap.

Shu Qi sighed, then tidied up her clothes and got up to leave.

Li Shengyao asked Zhang Mo to send Shu Qi, and he was still sitting in the office.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and it was Bingbing who called.

He pressed the answer button.

"Brother Li, do you miss me?"

"I don't want to."

"I'm so sad when you say that."

Li Shengyao pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Brother Li, the rich son in "Parasite", can you let my brother play it?"

Li Shengyao paused slightly, this role has not yet been determined, and it is not very important.

A few days ago, Chen Hong called him and asked him if he could arrange Arthur to star.

However, Arthur has his own poisonous physique, and in Li Shengyao's previous life, the box office of the movies Arthur participated in was lower than expected, so Li Shengyao refused.

Cheng Cheng's words don't seem to have this problem.

"Brother, I'll go back to Yanjing in a few days, and I'll make you chicken soup when the time comes, thank you so much."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he came back to his senses, "I can't give you a definite answer, we still have to discuss this role seriously." ”

"Brother, isn't this role okay too?"

"It's hard to say, within half a month, I will give you an answer."

For such a rare role, such as a rich man's daughter and a rich man's son, Lee Shengyao handed over the casting rights to the assistant directors and asked them to discuss and promote, and he finally decided.

It's kind of a workout.

He doesn't want to change that, and he's going to see what the assistant directors choose.
