"Before the film started, Parasite has recouped its costs and made a profit."

""Parasite" is highly anticipated, and Meiji Group has 20 million advertising placements."

"Li Zekai: I'm optimistic that "Parasite" will win the award next year."

"Naomi Kawase: Director Li is a talented director, and I am very eager to see 'Parasite'."

"Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui have entered the crew, and "Parasite" will start shooting soon."

"The Li Yanji family provides a villa in the middle of the mountain, and "Parasite" will be produced in a villa of 300 million."

"Li Shengyao bluntly said that he has high requirements for the performance of "Parasite", and all actors must do their best.

……

Hong Kong Island is a small place with a small population, and there are few hidden secrets.

"Parasite" received an advertising sponsorship from the Meiji Group for 20 million, and the news spread quickly.

The fact that the movie made a profit before it even started filming is naturally remarkable.

Recently, more advertisers have approached Lee for sponsorship.

It's just that Lee Shengyao and the assistant directors have studied that the space for product placement in the movie is already very small.

Re-implant ads, easy to play.

In order to ensure the quality of the film, Li Shengyao rejected the advertisers behind him.

He plans to officially start filming in a few days, and before that, in addition to checking the film crew's preliminary preparations, he will hold a script workshop with the actors.

It was a good morning.

The autumn breeze blows slowly, and the sun falls quietly.

Occasionally, yellow leaves fall and clad on the ground.

In a delicate villa in Mid-Levels, Li Shengyao, Liang Jiahui, Liu Dehua, Ding Jiali, Ni Dahong and other actors gathered together, and they moved chairs and formed a circle.

Liang Jiahui was wearing a casual suit with some discoloration, and it could be seen that the suit had been bought for a long time.

His hair looks neatly combed, and if you look closely, you will feel a little oily.

This is the look designed by the makeup artist for Liang Jiahui.

Liu Dehua wore a well-fitting black suit with a pair of brown leather shoes.

His hair was neatly combed, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were piercing.

This is what Liu Dehua looks like in "Parasite".

The others, including Bai Yu, Song Yi, and Zhang Xueying, and Hu Xianxu all wore makeup.

In addition to Li Shengyao, the actors have all put on the makeup of the characters of "Parasite".

Overall, the effect is okay.

When Li Shengyao chooses actors, he tries to be as close to the character's temperament as possible.

It's like when Ni Dahong stared at a pair of eyes, he was a little nervous.

Another example is Liu Tao, who is the best white and clean, with a gentle temperament, and is the most suitable to play a rich wife.

At this time, the actors sit together, like characters coming out of the plot.

Lee nodded as he observed the actors.

This time, I brought the actors to the villa for a script workshop, just to see the image and temperament of the actors in this environment.

It turns out that his choice is not wrong, and these actors are all in line with what he should be.

But that's not enough.

"Let's get ready, let's find out how we feel and say some lines in the villa."

All the actors on the scene, in this villa, have plots and lines.

Lee Shengyao intends to let them go further and find their feelings.

When the actors heard this, they were not surprised, after all, they were brought to the villa and had to do something.

So Liang Jiahui started to speak lines, naturally speaking Mandarin.

In Liang Jiahui's daily life, speaking Mandarin doesn't seem to be very smooth, it's not that he doesn't speak Mandarin well.

It's just that he usually uses it less, and when he needs to say it, he is naturally unfamiliar.

Give him the lines, let him prepare in advance, he can speak in a tone and frustration, very emotional.

Liang Jiahui is slightly different from Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, although they are all people from TVB acting training classes.

However, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei have no culture, and they generally come out after graduating from junior high school.

Leung Ka-wai is a graduate of Hong Kong Island Polytechnic University.

At this time, Lao Liang said his lines, and he could say that he entered the play in one second, and he watched Ding Jiali speak, and instantly had the feeling of a leading actor.

After Lao Liang finished speaking, everyone applauded.

After Lao Liang, it is Ding Jiali.

This sister is Sun Honglei's ex-girlfriend, her personal temperament is relatively rustic, and she has played a lot of rural women, or nanny mothers.

Because the image can't be changed, and there are not enough coffee seats, no drama will design a character personality for her.

Most of her characters have similar personality traits, and they are all old mothers of mouthy village women.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have acting skills.

On the contrary, Ding Jiali is definitely a powerful actor.

At this time, she said her lines, as if she was playing against Liang Jiahui just now, and the two of them established a connection one after the other.

Then the hero's son, daughter, that is, Bai Yu, and Song Yi came to speak the lines.

Both of them are in school, Song Yi is twenty-two years old, and Bai Yu is twenty-one years old.

It can be seen that both of them are very nervous, fortunately, the role of the two is not difficult, they still learned a little bit in school, and on the whole, the two of them are still close to the role.

The actors of the "hero" family finished their performances, and then the "rich family" arrived.

This family is naturally led by Liu Dehua.

Liu Dehua then stood up and said his lines.

Lao Liu's Mandarin is no problem, compared to ordinary Hong Kong Island actors, his Mandarin is standard, and he has definitely worked hard.

But......

When Liu Dehua took the script and said the lines, Li Shengyao didn't think that the rich man of "Parasite" was speaking the lines, but Liu Dehua was speaking the lines.

Liu Dehua can be said to be an evergreen existence in the Chinese entertainment industry.

He doesn't have the fighting spirit of Cheng Long, the funnyness of Zhou Xingxing, the explosiveness of Fa Ge, and the electric eyes of Liang Chaowei, but he is liked by the audience.

In recent years, Liu Dehua has been a little silent, a few years earlier.

Lao Mouzi asked him to play "Ambush on All Sides", and Xiaogang Cannon asked him to play "No Thieves in the World", at that time, Liu Dehua's appeal in the mainland definitely belonged to the top level.

Of course, even if you are very popular and have a very high status, whether you can perform or not, people in the industry will know at a glance.

At this time, Liu Dehua's interpretation is problematic.

The rich man in "Parasite" is very confident, very composed, and very reserved.

At this time, Liu Dehua was very confident, very confident, very confident.

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, he noticed Liang Jiahui and Ding Jiali, and Ni Dahong lowered their heads.

Bai Yu, Song Yi and a few juniors didn't seem to see it, Liu Dehua finished speaking his lines and immediately offered applause.

Li Shengyao applauded, but he didn't point it out directly.

Not long after, Ni Dahong, Hu Xianxu, Zhang Xueying and others finished their lines in turn.

Ni Dahong's performance is very good, just like Su Daqiang, who is ten years younger.

Zhang Xueying is a child star and her performance is remarkable.

Only Hu Xianxu is too young, and his performance is a little patterned, a little like a Goryeo elementary school student reciting a text.

After a circle, except for Liu Dehua and Hu Xianxu, Li Shengyao was very satisfied with the performance of the others.

He thought for a moment, and then said, "You all have problems with your performance, I'll talk about them one by one." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at it in amazement.

Bai Yu and Song Yi, Hu Xianxu's three rookies were even whiter-faced, and Hu Xianxu was about to cry.

Li Shengyao smiled, then stood up and walked out, "Brother Jiahui, you come first." ”

There is nothing wrong with Lao Liang's performance, Li Shengyao is just talking to Lao Liang for a few words.

He wants to talk about Liu Dehua and Hu Xianxu, but there is no need to say it in public, this does not give people face, and there is no benefit.

Soon after, the actor's family finished speaking, and it was the turn of the rich family, Liu Dehua got up and strode out.

He walked very straight, with straight legs, a straight back and a straight neck, which was straighter than a soldier walking.

The sun was soft and fell on Liu Dehua, as if a male god was coming over.

This is a habit that Liu Dehua developed when he was young, when he was the Four Heavenly Kings and had many fans on Hong Kong Island, he was strict with himself, to be 100% perfect, handsome, and handsome.

This caused Liu Dehua to be tense all the time.

There are many photos of Liu Dehua participating in his daughter's school art show on the Internet, he is sitting in the audience, his upper body is straight, and the other audiences seem to be two dimensions.

It can be said that keeping himself in perfect condition at all times has been engraved into Liu Dehua's DNA.

He is the man with the straightest back in the world, he stands, sits, walks, runs, and his back is very straight.

In life, his posture will be very photogenic, but in the camera, it is not very good.

His sense of camera is too strong, he is tense all the time, and he can't let go.

If the audience thinks about it carefully, they will understand that whether it is Fa Ge, Zhou Xingxing, Cheng Long, or Liang Chaowei, there are famous scenes.

"It's been three years, do you know how I've spent these three years? I'm not trying to prove how good I am, I'm trying to get back what I lost. ”

There are not too many famous scenes like Fa Ge.

Even Jacky Cheung has it-.

But Liu Dehua didn't, he should be the one who acted the most, but he didn't have a famous scene.

He couldn't let go, which caused him not only to have an unnatural expression, but also to be unable to explode emotionally.

In fact, Liu Dehua has won several actors, but it is still not convincing.

"Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs 3" are still handsome, but "Big Man Has Great Wisdom" is too peaceful, and the scene that should break out is obviously not resisted.

When the audience watches Fa Ge, Liang Chaowei, and Liang Jiahui acting together, they will feel that they are quite equal, which is very cool.

And Liu Dehua played against these people, without exception, they were all under the same pressure as supporting roles.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, that is, after 2010, Liu Dehua slowly realized this problem, he should not be so tight.

In 2012, "Sister Yao" was released, Liu Dehua won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award for double actor.

"Brother Hua, I have a few points to tell you."

Liu Dehua didn't know that Li Shengyao was chatting with the previous people, and thought that everyone gave Li Shengyao some pointers, and he didn't have the heart to resist.

"Director Li, you say, I will cooperate with you."

Liu Dehua's tone is sincere, he is not lying, he is a good person, as long as you tell him, he will change.

Li Shengyao nodded, and then said: "Brother Hua, I chose you to be a rich man because I think you are very suitable for this character, your temperament is very similar, this rich man is hands-on, started a business, he has a strong ability to control everything around him, I think you can play this role perfectly." ”

Liu Dehua's identity is there.

What's more important is that Li Shengyao hopes that Liu Dehua will listen, so he plans to praise it first.

In fact, Liu Dehua is very handsome and perfect on the screen, and he seems to be very confident.

But if you carefully study his life history, you will find that Liu Dehua had a smooth ride in his early years, even if he was hidden by TVB, he could still break out.

But then he started his own business and lost tens of millions, and since then Liu Dehua has completely changed as a person.

He was more humble, more gentlemanly, more cautious.

No matter who it is, Liu Dehua is very respectful.

In addition to his own high quality and ability to be a man, another point is that after losing money, Liu Dehua actually lacks self-confidence.

Therefore, Li Shengyao wants to boast first.

Li Shengyao continued: "I really grew up watching your movies, I have watched almost all your movies, and I have wanted to cooperate with you for a long time. ”

After the praise, it is time to close the distance.

Liu Dehua's performance in "Sister Yao" is not upright, and it is very important that Ye Dexian, the heroine of "Sister Yao", is his godmother, and the relationship between the two is good, Andy will listen to Ye Dexian's advice.

When Liu Dehua heard this, his face showed gratitude, and he listened to Li Shengyao's words.

Li Shengyao said at this time: "Brother Hua, you said the lines just now, I think it's too fast, you still have a little less entrepreneur feeling."

This rich man is very confident, he is very calm, but he is also very vigilant.

It's like the first day of the actor working as a driver for the rich, and the rich man takes a cup of coffee to test the hero's ability.

Such a person will not speak too fast, he must be in control of the overall situation, and he will not speak in a hurry or slowly, which is in line with his character.

Also, you don't have to stand so straight, just relax a little.

The rich man is very confident, he loves his wife, he loves his children, he comes home, he will not be in a state of work, he will relax a little. ”

In the end, the picture is poor, and it is natural to have something to say.

Li Shengyao carefully analyzed the state of the rich.

When Liu Dehua heard this, he thought about it, and then nodded, "Director Li, I understand what you mean." ”

"Okay, let's do it together."

Liu Dehua then went back, and he didn't seem to have any additional negative emotions.

Li Shengyao breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the others to come over, Ni Dahong, Zhang Xueying, they didn't need Li Shengyao to say anything, only Hu Xianxu needed to say a few words.

Hu Xianxu is only eleven years old this year, and he officially entered the circle in the first half of the year and acted in a TV series, "Parasite" is his second work.

The requirements for TV dramas are low, and the requirements for movies are high, so his previous performance methods are not good for Li Shengyao.

However, Xiaohu is young, so there is no need to talk about those big truths, and he is still encouraged.

Li Shengyao encouraged Hu Xianxu and let him be himself, learn from the life of his classmates, and not be too serious.

It took an hour to go down in one lap.

Li Shengyao returned to the hall at this time, and he clapped his hands, "Come, let's do it again." ”

So, starting from Liang Jiahui, a group of actors spoke their lines again.

Lao Liang and Ding Jiali still played well, and Song Yi and Bai Yu were much more stable.

And Liu Dehua, who Li Shengyao cared about the most, really listened to his words, and the second time he was obviously more calm and more like an entrepreneur.

Li Shengyao, Liang Jiahui, Ding Jiali, and Ni Dahong all breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Jiahui also secretly gave Li Shengyao an affirmative look.

"Director Li, you have a hand in training actors."

Li Shengyao smiled, it's just the beginning, and when the filming officially starts, it will definitely not be so easy, and there will be grinding when the time comes.

However, he is still looking forward to the official launch of "Parasite", and such a movie will naturally be made quickly.
