Chapter 108: The Difficulty of Choosing People
"It's really not good, let's shoot it normally." Mai Zhaohui pushed his glasses, and his face showed a look of embarrassment, "Our request is indeed quite embarrassing." ”
Mai Zhaohui took the list in his hand and looked at it over and over again, "It's better to leave it like this." ”
Mai Zhaohui pondered for a while, picked up the ballpoint pen on the side, drew two circles on the list, and after pondering for a while, Mai Zhaohui nodded, and then handed it to Liu Weiqiang on the side, "How is it?" ”
Liu Weiqiang looked at these two names, pinched his thigh with one hand, and his whole face was wrinkled into a bitter melon.
"Andy must be perfect for Liu Jiehui to play...... this role stands out for a decent appearance, but does he play that kind of dark feeling on the back?"
Liu Weiqiang said worriedly, "You know, his acting skills have always been a little bit worse than perfection." ”
Mai Zhaohui tapped his fingers on the table, and this could only be said by the two of them behind closed doors, and they would be scolded when they took it out, "If you don't choose ......, other people's temperament is even more incompatible, so you can't use an amateur, right?" ”
"No matter what you say, Andy Lau's popularity can still support this movie."
Mai Zhaohui said very seriously, even if they got such a script, they still muttered in their hearts.
Once this movie hits the street, they will be famous, and besides, they will be responsible for investors.
What could be safer than having a big guy in your hands?
Why have Xiangjiang been turned upside down all these years? Could it be true that the newcomer is dead?
"Okay, but Chen Yongren uses his ......, it's too inappropriate, right?" Looking at the other circle, Liu Weiqiang shook his head and frowned.
"His temperament and Chen Yongren can't be said to be incompatible, it can only be said that they are far from each other......"
Mai Zhaohui laughed awkwardly, "Then who do you use?" Liang Jiahui is not young anymore, the image of a thug is really not like it, Liu Qingyun's thick eyebrows and big eyes, it must be okay to replace Huang Sir, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask him to play Chen Yongren, right? ”
"Gu Tianle ......, you can try, but the horror is not much different from Liang Chaowei."
Liu Weiqiang couldn't help scratching his head, in fact, the compatibility between actors and roles is relatively low, and this is not a problem with the Infernal Affairs family, it is too common.
But Liu Weiqiang still felt that it was inappropriate, "The role of Chen Yongren is too important, you can't be so confused!" ”
"So if you don't have a choice, you must choose a protagonist face." Mai Zhaohui argued, "At least you can let the audience know at a glance that this is one of the male protagonists!" ”
Liu Weiqiang shook his head, this statement was definitely not enough to convince him, but in this situation, he really had no choice.
I can only pinch my nose and admit it first, and if there is a better choice in the future, I can only talk about it later!
"Huang Sir can also use Liu Qingyun, please Huang Qiushen."
"Try your best to Liu Qingyun." Liu Weiqiang pondered for a moment, but he didn't have much rebuttal, "But, what about Han Chen?" ”
"Boss Zeng?"
Liu Weiqiang still shook his head for a while, "Boss Zeng came to play Han Chen, and his aura is enough, but don't forget, although this role has no two sides, it has two sides in growth." ”
As soon as Liu Weiqiang said this, Mai Zhaohui fell silent for a while, in fact, he understood what Liu Weiqiang meant.
Although the script of Infernal Affairs 2 has not yet been written, the character Xiao Seal has already been written first, which means that they generally know the ins and outs of the character "Han Chen".
How much is inseparable from "growth", such a process of transformation.
That is to say, in the first part, the boss with an amazing aura, in the second part, is actually a person who has not grown up at all, is very "righteous", and mixing society is actually just a means for him to survive, such a person.
It wasn't until after the fight with Ni Yongxiao that Han Chen became nothing, and then he had gray hair overnight, this sudden change.
From being impenetrable to ruthless, this sense of change has completely replaced Ni Yongxiao.
Therefore, if Zeng Zhiwei is invited, I am afraid that he will do a good job 1, which can clearly reflect the sense of change between the two of them before and after 2!
It's best to be 2 miles, people are much younger, and then overnight vicissitudes, that kind of change.
Of course, Liu Weiqiang also knows that this is just thinking about it, according to this script, of course it is great, but if you really want to go exactly like the script, I'm afraid it's a bit taken for granted.
"Lao Mai, don't persuade me yet, I'll think about it again."
"It's still going to be as soon as possible." Mai Zhaohui said with a wry smile, "It's been grinding for half a year, once it grinds again, some people's schedules will be gone, and it's even more troublesome!" ”
Liu Weiqiang waved his hand.
Knowing that his old friend was awkward, Mai Zhaohui could only stop persuading, but walked out of the office first, leaving him calm and calm, and after Mai Zhaohui went out, Liu Weiqiang dragged an ashtray to the window with one hand, opened the half-blocked window, and smoked there silently.
Looking at the crowded streets of Xiangjiang under the glass.
As a professional director, Liu Weiqiang really knows what he should do, and he really can't force it to be so comprehensive, so it's almost enough.
Chen Yongren used Gu Tianle or Liang Chaowei, and Liu Jiehui used Andy Lau.
If Huang sir can invite Liu Qingyun, he will invite Liu Qingyun, and if he can't invite Liu Qingyun, he will invite Huang Qiushen, in short, the acting skills of the two are always not bad.
Han Chen can't be picky, so use Boss Zeng.
Tens of millions of investors have been paid to the account, as soon as this king lineup is taken out, what are you still hesitating about? ?
With such a god-level script in your hand, it is waiting for other directors to bow and worship when it is filmed, what are you still hesitating about?
But Liu Weiqiang knew that he was hesitating his unwillingness! This Infernal Affairs can be more flesh and blood, can't it?
If it goes on so hastily, won't it become an ordinary police movie?
In fact, after so many years in the industry, Liu Weiqiang knows too well what kind of psychology is at work, at best, it is called perfectionism, and at worst, it is called Wenqing's disease.
Making a movie is just making money, don't chill!
Sometimes, he really envied the king of the crystal seed free and easy.
If you have money, shoot it.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Weiqiang was fascinated, in fact, he also knew what he was doing during this time, the script was basically finished, and the selection of actors was considered for half a month, in fact, it was like that.
It's not that he doesn't have a choice, but he doesn't want to choose! To put it bluntly, he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and refused to nod his head and say, "Forget it, let's shoot like that." ”
And why is Mak Zhaohui here today? Isn't it true that people have persuaded themselves and come to persuade themselves again?
In fact, from a very macro perspective of time, these mixed thoughts are just a white horse, and in the end, when the whole movie is presented, no one will imagine how long it took the former director to overcome his inner stubbornness.
But Liu Weiqiang also knew that he really couldn't drag it out any longer.
The slight protrusion of the green tendons on the back of his hand made his palms tremble slightly, and he twisted it towards the window to extinguish the soot.
"Director Liu?"
"What are you doing!" Listening to the knock on the door, Liu Weiqiang replied rudely, which startled the person outside the door, but after a pause, the assistant still replied in a low voice, "Director Li from Qinzhou is here, and he also brought a student." ”
