Chapter 197: [Cast Confirmed]

Speaking of grudges, there are several versions of Lu Zhengyi's memory.

TV version, movie theater version, American version......

And in these versions, this time he is ready to shoot the TV version.

However, in terms of plot, he has made significant changes.

For the film of Curse, Lu Zhengyi's evaluation of his previous life is not particularly high, although it is called a classic by many people.

But in fact, because he only went to see and understand and watch these contents when he became an adult.

So the grudge didn't give Lu Zhengyi a terrifying feeling.

Even at the time, he was just an ordinary person.

But this film does not have a way to give an adult a sense of horror.

The movie that Lu Zhengyi wants to shoot is not only scaring children.

"What do you think?"

One of the rooms in the hotel was cleaned up and used as an audition location for the crew.

And in the room, behind a long table, outside the camera, there are four people sitting, like judges.

After the auditioning actress nodded and bent over, and left the room respectfully, Chen Junsheng woke up Lu Zhengyi, who was deep in thought, "How do you feel?" I feel pretty good, but there is a drawback, the fame is not very big. ”

"To develop with the country, the first shot is very important."

"A small actor like this can't attract too much attention from the audience, so he loses a lot of points. We don't ask for all famous actors, but it would be more suitable to find some actors who are a little famous. ”

The actor who auditioned just now is the female lead singer of a former idol group.

But now this idol group has disbanded.

There are many such cases on the Wakuni side.

The survival of the fittest is vividly displayed in this developed country, and all kinds of idol groups are popping up all the time, today it is officially announced that a certain group is disbanded, and tomorrow a new group will appear, one after another.

Only those who can make money can stay in this market.

If you can't stay, it's naturally a small group that didn't catch fire and didn't make money.

Most of the members of this disbanded group are not famous, and under normal circumstances, they will slowly return to normal people after the group is disbanded.

But occasionally there are still some people who are more persistent and want to continue to stay in this circle.

Kyoko Kanda, as the lead singer in the group, is a little famous, so she chose to switch to the entertainment industry, and has participated in several works so far, but there are no outstanding roles.

Lu Zhengyi is still familiar with her experience, which is a bit similar to Zhang Yuming.

However, compared to Xiao Ming, who was eliminated without even debuting after participating in the draft, he has made his debut and had several opportunities to perform on stage.

On the side, Team Leader Wang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Director Lu, if you are a little famous, you can attract a lot of traffic." We are not looking for traffic stars, with our conditions, we can find those who have a certain fame and pass the test in terms of deduction ability. ”

Except for Lu Zhengyi's three, only Yu Wenxiu did not speak.

Although she was also present to participate in the audition process, she acted more as a translator.

After all, she speaks the same language well.

"Uncle Sheng, it's enough for us to have a publicity sign for you, with your fame, why do you need anything else." Listening to their persuasion, Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, "Besides, isn't there an Abu Kuan in the cast of Heguo." ”

"That's what you say, I'm definitely not enough alone."

Although he said so, but being praised, the smile on Chen Junsheng's face was very bright, "It seems that in the past, the companies of Heguo and Southern Dynasties wanted to develop in the market of our Tang Kingdom, so they had to honestly invite some Tang Guo actors to help." ”

"There is also the West, in order to cater to our Dongzhou market, we often mix Dongzhou elements in some movies, and invite some actors from the Tang Kingdom, Heguo, and Southern Dynasties to participate."

"This kind of compromise in the market is very necessary. Inviting some famous Japanese actors to participate in the performance also plays a great role in the subsequent publicity work, we have to make them willing to watch our films first, and then we can use our films to conquer them, which is in a precedent order. ”

He still persuaded Lu Zhengyi to find some famous actors.

"Director Lu, in fact, you should be able to see from the data of the First Commandment released here, right?"

Team Leader Wang also reminded.

But he didn't dare to say it too clearly, for fear of angering others.

After all, he was famous on the side of the Tang Kingdom, but when he came to the side of the He Kingdom, he was directly a blow to the head.

The gap between the two is unacceptable to normal people.

It is as if it is easy to go from poor to rich, and from rich to poor.

"I understand, I'll think about it."

Lu Zhengyi continued to smile and replied.

Although he was laughing, his tone didn't make it clear whether he was happy or unhappy.

Seeing him say this, the others didn't say anything, and called the next actor to audition.

Lu Zhengyi watched the actor audition, but he was thinking in his heart.

He wasn't angry just now.

He had already expected the upset of the First Commandment here.

The impression is powerful, he has seen it a long time ago.

What's more, the stereotype of Tang horror films on the side of Heguo is more impressive than it is in Tang Kingdom.

In this case, it is more difficult to win by relying on the quality of the film like in China.

But do you want to ask some famous actors to help out?

Lu Zhengyi had no such plans.

When he discussed the audition list with Zhang Xueming in China, he had already considered this clearly.

I didn't tell Chen Junsheng directly just now, I just took care of his kindness, and I didn't want to refuse so bluntly.

In terms of making action movies and feature films, Lu Zhengyi is definitely inferior to Chen Junsheng.

But in the category of horror films, he has a lot of experience and ideas after years of study, precipitation, and attempts.

A few years ago, Lu Zhengyi did not invite those famous actors to the idea.

It's more because rookie actors are easier to convince and easier to control.

But now, Lu Zhengyi has a deeper understanding.

Horror films are not like other categories of works, it is not that the more famous the actor, the better the effect.

Especially for the kind of actors who have been labeled by the public and are very familiar with actors, they are actually not suitable for acting in horror movies.

In the crew through the plot, sound, picture, special effects...... In various aspects, in the case of creating a thriller atmosphere for the audience, a very familiar face suddenly appears, whether this face was previously acting in a comedy, a romantic drama, or a crime film is famous, it will make the audience feel like a play.

The kind of person who is completely unfamiliar to the audience, but has excellent acting skills, is the best choice for acting in horror movies.

If it weren't for stereotypes, Lu Zhengyi wouldn't even want to invite Abukuan.

"Eh!!"

And as the sky outside changed from an endless blue sky to a red glow.

The audition came to an end.

Abu Kuan, who had just finished his trip nearby and hurried over to audition, opened the door with wide eyes and let out a burst of exclamation.

And in this regard, Lu Zhengyi and others, who don't know how many times they have seen it today, are no longer surprised.

An uncle with a black and yellow complexion, a beard, and short to medium hair, who looks very vicissitudes.

When Abu Kuan looked at Chen Junsheng with wide eyes, when he confirmed his identity, Lu Zhengyi was also observing him.

"Chen, Mr. Chen?"

Abukuan stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and then hesitated to use half-baked Tang language and asked tentatively, "Are you Mr. Chen Junsheng?" ”

"Sit down first."

Chen Junsheng was very stylish, and beckoned to him with a smile.

What about people? He came running over, bowing very politely, and then sat down in front of him.

"Mr. Abukuan, we are obliged to remind you before the audition." Yu Wenxiu said next to him that he didn't know how many times he said today, "According to our previous notification email, this audition needs to be kept absolutely confidential, I hope you can understand and abide by it." ”

Abukuan moved his gaze from Chen Junsheng to Yu Wenxiu next to him, and nodded, "Yes, yes, I understand." ”

Then, as if he had just seen Lu Zhengyi sitting on the other side of Chen Junsheng, he quickly stood up again and stretched out his palm, "Hello, Director Lu." ”

"Hello."

Lu Zhengyi calmly stretched out his arm, which could be regarded as a formal greeting.

"So, is Mr. Chen going to participate in this movie next?"

Then, Abukuan looked at Chen Junsheng with a little excitement, and began to say in Tang mixed with Chinese language, "Or is Mr. Chen an investor and director?" ”

When he spoke, he shook his head.

The look on that face is also very ...... Exaggerated and flamboyant.

As an actor who is very famous in the entertainment industry and has starred in many works, this kind of thing seems to have been engraved into his life.

And the way of interpretation on Heguo's side is biased towards stage plays, so his expressions and movements are very special.

Although Abukuan is a mixture of Tang and He, with Yu Wenxiu's translation, they will not say that they can't understand it.

"I'm participating as an actor this time." Chen Junsheng replied kindly, "Although it has always been an action movie, I have also made horror movies before, but the quality of that work is a little difficult to describe. ”

"So this time, I want to try to make a horror film after a long time, and I just met a director with very good ability, and I hope we can cooperate amicably in the future."

He said some polite words, and he looked familiar.

But in fact, Chen Junsheng didn't know Abkuan, after all, he hadn't been to Heguo's side for a while, and he hadn't even seen other people's works.

As for Chen Junsheng's words, Abkuan was a little excited.

To be honest, he was originally interested in filming a horror movie this time, that is, to be a good person.

I wasn't too interested in it.

But now......

"Yes, I'd love to make it through this audition."

Abukuan put on a posture of a junior and replied respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Lu Zhengyi again, "Director Lu, how should I express myself?" ”

……

After the audition, it didn't take long for Lu Zhengyi to decide who would participate in the show.

The role of Kobayashi Akisuke was played by Abu Kuan.

And Yu Wenxiu plays Hibiki, a psychic woman.

Kyoko Kanda, who was proposed to be eliminated by Chen Junsheng, is responsible for playing Chen Junsheng's assistant in the plot.

In addition to this, there are some small supporting roles that are set.

In fact, as early as when he was in China, he had already discussed the list of auditions with Zhang Xueming.

For each of the actors on the list, he has learned about their previous works as well as some personal life experiences.

This time, the audition was arranged, on the one hand, to see is believing, and on the other hand, there was also the idea of picking out a more suitable and excellent group of people from the already suitable group.

As for the role of Tsuyoshi Saeki, Lu Zhengyi plans to play it himself.

After all, although this character is one of the important characters, there are not many scenes.

Compared to acting, he is more in the form of a cameo.

And as the actors are decided, the filming location, funding and all aspects of trivial matters are gradually unfolding.

At the same time, Bai Wei and others, who transported props and equipment by freighter, finally arrived in Heguo.

"Meow!"

On the side of the dock, Lu Zhengyi saw a small black figure rushing towards him from a distance.

With an excited meow, there was weight on his shoulders, and at the same time, a little hair rubbed against his face.

"What, didn't you eat well on the boat?" Lu Zhengyi stretched out his hand suspiciously, hugged Ah Yong who was standing on his shoulder, looked left and right, and weighed it, "You're not thin, Ah Yong." It seems to be fat. ”

"That's not it, we eat and drink well for Yongye, can we not get fat?"

Immediately afterward, Applejack's voice came, "Thanks to Yongye's protection, this trip has been a smooth ride." ”

As he approached, he watched Lu Zhengyi and Chen Junsheng greet each other, "Director Lu, Teacher Chen." ”

"Meow."

Yong screams again, towards Applejack, who is walking by.

"It looks like you've gotten along well along the way."

Lu Zhengyi said with a smile, "What about Bai Wei? ”

"I'm staring at the unloading."

Applejack explained, "It looks like we have to send it to customs and review it before we can arrange for the truck to take it away." ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually.

And Chen Junsheng, who was standing next to him, had been sticking to him since he arrived at Heguo, and was almost inseparable, his wide eyes eased up, staring at the black cat in Lu Zhengyi's hand, "Just now, how did it come over just now?" Running over? ”

"How do I feel, it's suddenly on your shoulder."

"Teleport?"

He was still asking Lu Zhengyi what was the evil object that could drive away the evil on his body.

Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a black cat on his shoulder.

When and how did it appear, the person he had been staring at didn't see the slightest trace.

"Could it be, this is the treasure that can drive away the evil in me, right?"

Chen Junsheng asked.

It wasn't the first time he had met Ah Yong.

But in the past, in his impression, this cat was either squatting on Lu Zhengyi's shoulder, or being held in his arms, other than that, there was nothing strange about it.

But now......

Chen Junsheng carefully observed the black cat.

The black cat's fur was faintly red in the sun, and it should probably be called a black cat.

In the Tang Kingdom, there have been rumors of warding off evil spirits and exorcising evil spirits since ancient times.

"It's not."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not necessarily, and he changed his words, "But Ah Yong may also have the ability to solve your problem." ”

Impression of Ayong.

So far, he has only two things: "the flesh is strong" and "he has a rejection of evil spirits".

As for the rest, Ah Yong didn't show it, and he didn't know if there was.

After all, in this world where ghosts are rare, even if Ah Yong wants to behave, he doesn't have much of a chance.
