Chapter 393: Dedication to Art
I've been looking forward to this kind of thing when I haven't come, and I'll feel bored all day after I come, but when the year is about to pass, I'll become reluctant to give up.
But no matter how reluctant you are, time is still moving forward.
In a blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and Gu Yi should go back to work, the scenes that should be built have been built, and most of the actors have also found seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
Now it's missing some of the main supporting roles.
So on the eighth day of the new year, Yu Feng drove to Gu Yi's side, had a meal at noon, and was taken around the village by Gu Yi before driving away.
On the way, Yu Feng said to Gu Yi with a smile: "When we were going around there just now, there were still many people doing live broadcasts at your house, will this cause you some trouble?" ”
Gu Yi thought about it, he had also told his uncle and aunt before, but his uncle and aunt said that it didn't matter, and everyone would take a picture occasionally.
Usually they are not bothered by what they should do or how they are.
"It's okay, I asked them at that time, if they don't feel comfortable living, I will buy them a house in the county or city for them to live in."
"But these relatives of your family feel very good, and they are not the same as I imagined, because I always feel like living in this kind of village, if someone suddenly becomes an Internet celebrity or a star, there will be a lot of people to borrow money or something."
Gu Yi smiled: "These must be there, and they can't be avoided anywhere, but isn't it up to you to borrow or not?" My uncle borrowed some from me before, but they have been paying them back one after another. ”
"It's good, in fact, to be an artist and a star, in addition to always being wary of competitors and those paparazzi, I am afraid of meeting vampire relatives.
I've heard of parents who act as agents for their daughters, but they end up gambling and investing, and they end up losing all the money they earned.
Later, I had to find my daughter to gamble, but my daughter didn't give it, and then they said on the Internet that my daughter was not filial, a white-eyed wolf, etc., in short, it was very disgusting. ”
"Yes, there is really no way to encounter this kind of thing, being backstabbed by the closest person, money is one thing, the main thing is that it is too sad."
It was not too far from Hecheng to the magic capital, so they arrived at the company opened by Yufeng, the magic capital, at four o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning to the company, Gu Yi first greeted the staff here, and then entered the conference room.
"Gu Yi, now there are some other roles, but some of the main supporting roles in it are not yet available, I have set some people here, in fact, according to my thoughts, although this movie has high hopes from us, it is better to use your own people in the case of being able to use your own people.
It's just that this script is a good one, so I still want to ask for your opinion again. ”
Gu Yi nodded, and then took the list sent by Yu Feng and looked at it.
"Brother Feng, I think it's good for Yuan Hua to find Meng Song to play, mainly because he is handsome, and he also has the temperament of the rich second generation, and more importantly, he became the image of a fisherman, which is more compatible with him.
After all, he has been playing with water since he was a child, and it is easy for people to accept his setting. ”
It's just that Gu Yi looked down again and felt that the characters below were still a bit far-fetched, although they were all starlight people, but on the whole, Gu Yi felt that they were not very suitable.
"Do you have any recommendations here? It's better to have better acting skills, and then it's more in line with the image. ”
"It is still very suitable for Lin Xinwu to play Dasha Chun'er, because Lin Xinwu himself is relatively tall, speaks slowly, and looks quite generous.
Image-wise, it's no problem, as long as he can perform that stupid energy. ”
"And this Charlotte's mother, I feel like I can find a not so famous actor, the actress I choose now has acted in some more serious or sensational films before, it's okay to be a mother, but it's easy to be unable to fully substitute the plot in a comedy."
Yu Feng thought for a while: "It seems to be the truth, but I also have an alternative here, otherwise how about letting Sister Ning play this role?" She is also in her forties, and she can control it if she pretends to be fifty.
In addition, I also have an idea that she has also played her mother before, although the mother in that movie is also more serious and complex as you said, but Sister Ning has an advantage that she appears very rarely on the screen.
In addition, you didn't recognize her as a godmother in the first place, and this kind of identity is not a violation in the play. ”
Listening to Yu Feng's words, Gu Yi felt as if it was a little interesting.
"If you don't say it, I really didn't expect Sister Ning to play Xia Luo's mother, it seems to be really interesting, mainly because her real identity and identity as an actor can bring a certain topicality and dramatic effect."
"Okay, then our role will be Sister Ning first."
"Hahaha, so fast? Don't even call to ask. ”
"It's okay, I think Sister Ning should be able to act, in fact, through the last play, I found that Sister Ning actually likes filming, but she takes a different route, in short, let's make it like this first, and when the time comes, call her and say that I really can't find anyone."
Gu Yi also thought of how to talk to Ning Xiu when the time came.
At that time, you can get another script and tell Ning Xiu that there are not many scenes in this role, and when the time comes, if you enter the crew and have many scenes, then you can't help her.
In short, everything is to trick people first.
"There is also the role of Mr. Wang, what do you think of the people I chose?"
Gu Yi shook his head: "Brother Feng, I think the actors you chose are almost meaningful."
Although this Liang Hongdong has also played a teacher, his image is also more serious, although he has also acted in some serious comedies with humor before, but I have also seen his plays before, and I always feel that he is still not very good at funny.
In addition, this Zhao Qiang has no problem with comedy, but there is a problem that he used to do two-person turns, although he later transformed into a sketch, but the label on his body is difficult to wash off, and some of the comedies he plays are too exaggerated. ”
Yu Feng scratched his head and was a little worried: "Then who will play this role?" ”
Gu Yi also pondered for a while, and suddenly he thought of something, and looked up at Yu Feng with his eyes.
"What's wrong? Thinking of who to play? ”
"I thought of Brother Feng, otherwise you can play this role, Mr. Wang's age is about 40~50 years old, and I have to be a little old-fashioned, but not too old, because if you are too old, you can't highlight your sense of humor.
But Brother Feng, you are just right now, although you are only twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, but you look old, if someone doesn't know you, I say that you are forty or fifty years old, and there must be people who believe you.
Coupled with the fact that you are the director of this film, you must know better how this character should be reflected. ”
"Me? Can I? ”
"What's not to do, Brother Feng, let me tell you, the transformation of an actor into a director may depend on strength and luck, but when a director becomes an actor, it must be no problem.
In the crew, the director has to teach the actors how to act, which is equivalent to the role of a teacher, and Charlotte's mother has decided to let Sister Ning play it, Brother Feng, why don't you dedicate yourself to art a little more. ”
"I'm mainly afraid that I won't be able to act."
"It's okay, Brother Feng, if you shave your beard a little bit when you turn around, that's a proper image of Teacher Wang."
"But do I look that philistine?"
"Brother Feng, don't be modest, you do look quite a philistine, but this is not a derogatory term."
"Alas, okay, then I'll go back and try, but there's another Zhang Yang here, didn't you say before that Zhang Yang had to find an ugly actor to play it? So I looked for a few of them, and they all had a good comedic effect. ”
But Gu Yi is still not satisfied with these roles.
"But since so many of the previous roles have found acquaintances, and even non-professional actors like Sister Ning, then I think this Zhang Yang can also find another one to know.
The age positioning in our play is actually quite vague, as long as there is no problem with the image, acting skills and personal style, the older ones can also play young roles, and the younger ones can also play some older roles. ”
Gu Yi said.
Originally, "Charlotte's Troubles" was indeed the case, when playing Charlotte, Shen Teng's age was not young, and whether it was Zhang Yang or Ma Li in it, or Dasha Chun, in fact, just looking at his appearance, he was a little bit different from the students.
That is, the actors of Yuan Hua and Qiu Ya are not very old, and they are also young, so these two are more suitable.
But these actors who are obviously not students have made this movie a classic.
Yu Feng pondered Gu Yi's words for a moment.
He suddenly thought of that person, although the other party is also in the circle, and he often has contact with artists, but he has never acted in a play.
But the more Yu Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the other party was suitable for playing Zhang Yang.
"Gu Yi, how about you say that Zhang Yang should let Brother Song play the role? I also met him once when I went back to the company before, and I felt that he and Mr. Ning seemed to be a little bit like that in the company.
And making a person look good in film and television dramas may make the audience look a little fake, but if a person is ugly, the audience will naturally be more acceptable. ”
"Let Brother Song play Zhang Yang, do you mean my agent Brother Song?"
"yes, that's him, really, I don't think they're quite right, and he's your agent, you should know better, and we can take this opportunity to match them.
And although Brother Song has never filmed, he has seen many more crews than us. ”
"Haha, it's okay for you to have this idea, anyway, his work is all with me, then I'll tell him when the time comes, so let's go, Sister Ning, you go and say, Brother Song, I'll say it, and the rest of Meng Song should agree, because he doesn't have any work in the first half of this year, that is, he may have to go to film with me in the second half of the year."
"Well, that's it, that's it."
Now the main roles have been decided.
The two roles of Qiu Ya and Dong Mei are also newcomers, and in these two roles, Yu Feng conducted a strict screening, and after they finished chatting about other decisions, Gu Yi has also been living here, Yu Feng called the two people over again, and let Gu Yi also take a look.
In fact, according to Yu Feng's original idea, it was most appropriate for Qiu Ya to find Yu Xue to act, because Yu Xue's temperament is outstanding, and she is also quite beautiful, plus she and Gu Yi were originally boyfriend and girlfriend.
But later, before he called, he thought about it again, Xia Luo's original partner in "Charlotte's Troubles" was Ma Dongmei, and Qiu Ya originally liked Yuan Hua and even had some sex scenes with Yuan Hua.
In addition, although Qiu Ya is very beautiful, she is also very realistic, and finally considering that Yu Xue is going to attend classes in school now, he did not go to Yu Xue in the end.
Gu Yi's thoughts were similar to Yu Feng's, so he didn't mention this matter at all.
Now both actors are recruited from the school.
These two actors themselves are also very in line with the character design of these two characters, although Ma Dongmei's actors are a little different, but they have the charm of a good wife and mother.
And the actress who plays Qiu Ya is very beautiful and has good acting skills, and she is now one of the most outstanding actresses in the third year of Beiying.
Although he acted in two movies last year, they haven't been released yet, so his value is not high.
After that, they also contacted Ning Xiu, Song Fuxing, Meng Song and others.
After some lobbying, they all agreed.
"It's okay, your roles are not difficult, let's just talk about it together when the time comes."
But when it comes down to it, what really moved Ning Xiu was the role of Charlotte's mother, and the later Zhang Yang, Charlotte's classmate and younger brother, who fell in love with her very dramatically.
The most important thing is that this role was played by Song Fuxing.
In short, people have been deceived now.
In the following time, they did some finishing stages of preliminary work, until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when all the crew gathered in Dalian.
Although Yu Feng feels that it is okay to shoot in the magic capital, after all, whether it is a villa, a luxury car, or even a yacht, their family has ready-made.
But "Charlotte's Troubles" was originally filmed in Dalian, Liaoning Province in that world, so the only thing Gu Yi can do now is to pay tribute in this way, although it may cost more money.
Although Yu Feng didn't know what Gu Yi really thought in his heart, he felt that since Gu Yi had to insist, it was naturally Gu Yi's reason.
He has been cooperating with Gu Yi for filming, and many of Gu Yi's suggestions are very valuable, and the final market response also proves that Gu Yi is right.
Therefore, since the filming location was decided at that time, Yu Feng has already begun to arrange people to do the decoration here, and now everything is ready-made, they just need to move in with their bags.
