Chapter 281: The Actor is Confirmed
As a director who has made a movie, Xu Zheng has a more intuitive understanding of a script than laymen and even many industry insiders.
Although it is just a literary script, it is not as intuitive as a storyboard, and it can directly appear in the mind a general picture, but such a heavy subject matter itself is easy to mobilize people's emotions.
However, Xu Zheng is going to play the leading actor, and after feeling a little cruel story in his heart, his main focus is still on the role of the actor Cheng Yong.
Cheng Yong, male.
It is estimated to be around thirty-five to forty years old, and the child is eight years old. The marriage failed, and the career fell into a trough, if selling the oil is considered a career.
The means of livelihood are unsustainable, with a sick father living in a nursing home and an eight-year-old child.
Long-term domestic violence against an ex-wife may be the main reason for the wife's divorce.
For a long time, he has not been respected by others and does not respect others, and his academic background is analyzed as a junior high school graduate, and he has a normal concept of the legal system.
is very much like those unsatisfactory uncles in ordinary life, whose families fail and make a living is unsustainable, but they never reflect on themselves.
This is the first stage, and it is also the first person, after achieving nothing, he went to Yindu to purchase generic drugs for leukemia specific drugs, saving countless people at the same time, he also made a lot of money and became a local tyrant nouveau riche.
In the last stage, Cheng Yong witnessed the death of Lu Yingying, and when he walked out of the old Lu family, he looked at the eyes of other patients, and felt pressure and a sense of mission, because of his retreat, the people around him were gone, and at this moment he felt the weight of life and began to learn to respect others.
From this moment on, he rushed to become a martyr, he chose to respect life and trample on the law, he transformed from a profit-chasing businessman to a righteous man who saved lives, and became the god of medicine in the title.
For Xu Zhenge, what he wants to play is the role of transforming from an ordinary person to a god of medicine.
But, this role, the front is too bad, although the script is not written, but the analysis is analyzed.
If you don't agree with each other, you will beat someone, beat your ex-wife, and beat your lawyer, judging from the reaction of the brother-in-law at the police station, she must have been beaten often before.
Divorce is well deserved.
"Director Li, will the early shaping of this character be a little too bad?"
Xu Zheng thought for a while and said what he thought, and immediately added, "I'm talking about the character itself." ”
"It's true that this person didn't do well in the early stage. Li Qian nodded, and then smiled, "However, there is also a good side, at least he can face his father and children gently, without a trace of dislike, which has reached the passing moral level."
And the child in the script is closer to him, generally speaking, knowing that his mother was abused by his father, the child should be closer to his mother and more sympathetic to his mother, but why not, it is very likely that the mother did something that the child does not like, and there is a fault first, so the child feels that the mother has nothing to sympathize with, and his reaction is enough to show who is the victim in the marriage. ”
Xu Zheng thought about it, don't think that children don't understand anything when they are young, it is precisely because they are simple that they can distinguish who is really good.
Ordinary people, especially men, face the pressure of family and work, and most of them have a sense of anger in their hearts.
A very small number of people are able to keep this emotion out of their homes, and many more people lose their temper and vent at their families.
Because, outsiders will not allow you to lose your temper indiscriminately, it is good if you don't give you a punch, only your family will tolerate it.
Xu Zheng said, "Director Li, I should be able to play this role, but the nouveau riche is easy to play, and I can't be sure about the medicine god in the back, and the greasy middle-aged man in the early stage has to take time to find the feeling." ”
Since Li Qian was the first to call him over, it must have belonged to him, and Xu Zheng did not have the pressure of competition like usual auditions, did not brag, and honestly said what he thought.
"Okay, you stay in a nearby hotel first, study it, I'll audition for other roles tomorrow, and then you can play against each other. Li Qian nodded.
......
In addition to the male lead, other characters Li Qian also considered.
As a men's play, the only actress has a lot of roles as the heroine, and the original version is played by Tan Zhuo, an actress who is quite famous in the literary film circle.
Sexy, charming, and a little coquettish, it fits perfectly with the role of a pole dancer.
If you want to say that she can be replaced, Zhang Ziyi is definitely one, and even most of the female characters of the same age in the movies, she can play them.
Female characters around 30 years old, 90% of them will have no problem choosing Ziyi without brains.
Like "The Wind" and "Painted Skin", two films with heavy female roles, Zhang Ziyi can actually play all four roles.
She also acted in "Memoirs of a Geisha" before, although she was scolded very badly, but I have to admit that she acted very well.
However, she is now filming the king of sunglasses' "The Grandmaster", which started filming at the end of 09, and there has been no movement for more than a year, and it is estimated that it will take another year, and there is no schedule.
Li Qian still invited Tan Zhuo.
The role of Lu Yingying, if Li Qian is not mistaken, should be Guan Gu in "Love Apartment", the contrast is too great, and he can't recognize it if he doesn't look carefully.
However, now Guan Gu's actor has just graduated for two years, and he doesn't have much acting experience, so he is not acting in a sitcom like "Love Apartment" or an idol drama like "The Prince of Tennis".
Actors in their thirties, Liu Ye is too strong, even if he is really reduced to ribs, his head is uncoordinated.
Chen Kun is filming "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
Other famous Mesozoic actors, like Deng Chao, are not compatible.
I don't have to look for a famous actor, I am really impressed by the famous, and I don't think about it if I am not famous.
Thinking about it, Li Qian wanted Hu Ge to try, and those who had hovered on the verge of death might be able to surprise him.
Pastor Liu, it is said that there is no shortage of old drama bones in China, but Mr. Yang Xinmin's somewhat cute and cute feeling is really a major feature, and other old drama bones are really not suitable.
Zhang Changlin's words, Wang Yanhui, and Li Qian have not changed, in that "Scorching Sun", the interrogation scene, Li Qian thought it was a video of a real criminal cut in by the director.
That can be said to be what Li Qian has seen, among all the interrogation scenes, there is no one who is the best, just take out that paragraph, 100 people will think it is true if at least 90 people watch it.
In addition, among the rest of the group, there is only one yellow hair missing.
The original actor Li Qian didn't know, and the film and television dramas that appeared in reality, Li Qian didn't seem to have seen this person, after all, he hadn't seen every film.
However, this role vaguely made Li Qian see the shadow of Huang Bo in "Crazy Racing".
Except for Huang Bo's elder age, it is almost a copy of Huang Bo.
It's just that Huang Bo, as the protagonist, must have a sense of joy and honesty in order to support the whole film.
Wang Baoqiang's words are still more suitable for mentally ill people.
The character of Huang Mao, who ran away from home and ran around the society at a very young age, has no way of knowing what he has experienced, which has turned him into the vicious, cold and provocative one he is now, looking taciturn, but ready to die at any time.
There don't seem to be many outstanding actors in the younger generation, but Li Qian still asked Huang Bo to give it a try.
In terms of acting, Huang Bo is absolutely fine, not like these films he acted, he can only be glamorous and comedy.
The banned "No Man's Land" and "Killing" have no shadow of comedy, they are all the kind of people who are cruel and crazy to the extreme.
The only problem is that the face is a little older, and the salary is a little more expensive.
However, the salary is not a problem with Li Qian, and although he has become famous, Huang Bo should not have the time not to play a supporting role.
The main protagonist team was basically assembled, and all of them were invited by Li Qian the next day, and Xu Zheng studied the script for a day and also came over.
In the conference room, everyone who received the invitation had different expressions, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were much calmer, and Li Qian also told Huang Bo on the phone that he was a supporting role with few scenes, this must be said in advance, after all, Huang Bo is already a first-line movie actor.
Hu Ge was a little excited, but seeing that Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were there, this excitement and expectation decreased, and the protagonist was definitely impossible.
The old drama bone Yang Xinmin is also sitting with a smile, he doesn't have much pursuit at this age, it is enough to take on a good role.
The most excited is probably Tan Zhuo, after all, she is the only actress on the scene.
Although it is a mixed literary circle, except for a very few people, most of them can't get mixed in the mainstream film circle, so they go to the mixed literary film circle first, and then go to the mainstream film circle after winning some awards and improving themselves.
However, 90% of those who have been mixed in the literary film circle for a long time can't get out.
What first acts in a literary film to win an award, and then acts in a commercial film, I am afraid that it is the biggest joke, investors, directors, and even the audience don't care about how many awards an unknown actor has won.
Li Qian's movie must be a commercial film, and if he can star in his movie, he can directly make Tan Zhuo step into the mainstream film circle.
Everyone came, and Li Qian didn't waste time, and directly gave them everyone's scripts.
Like Xu Zheng before, everyone attached great importance to Li Qian's script, and read it carefully two or three times.
After reading it, there were also different expressions, Li Qian couldn't sigh in their hearts, so they spoke first.
"Let's talk about our understanding. ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who will say yes first.
"Brother Bo's role must be handy, Tan Zhuo, let's talk about it first. ”
Li Qian looked at Tan Zhuo, although he was more mature, his actual age was one year older than Li Qian, and 28 years old was a woman's golden age, exuding a mature and charming style.
Tan Zhuo glanced at Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, organized the language, and began his own analysis.
"Liu Sihui is engaged in the pole dancer industry, but she doesn't like her work, everything is forced by life, but life is like this, the first time you dance, then you take off a piece of clothing, and then you can take the initiative to put a bed of erotic pajamas, and you have to dance if you don't dance.
Later, even if he had found Cheng Yong as a "backer", it had become instinct to leave as soon as he was called by the foreman, which was a long-term professional habit.
Although Director Li's script is not written, I think Liu Sihui has already begun to sell her body, and when her daughter saw Cheng Yong undressed and lying on the bed, she was not surprised or curious, but showed indifference and gloom that did not match her age. It shows that Cheng Yong is not the first man to come to their house, and the little girl is not the first day to see her mother bring strangers back for the night, and she hates these people quite a lot. ”
As an actress in literary films, Tan Zhuo is familiar with this kind of role that is forced to sell herself by life.
"Yes, but remember that this character has not completely sunk down, and still maintains hope for life, and most of the time it is not in that state of numbness and sluggishness. ”
Li Qian nodded, turned his head to look aside, "Hu Ge, tell me about it." ”
"Director Li, Lu Yingfu is an authentic Modu person, tall but always rickety, with a delicate face but always a flattering smile, living off the image of a small citizen.
As a law-abiding citizen, Lu Yingfu did not dare to go to India to smuggle generic drugs in person, there was a cowardly and timid side in his character, but he also had a shrewd and clever side, because the idea of smuggling generic drugs was proposed by him.
His popularity is very good, there are many patients at the memorial service, at least he is a good person, and compared with other patients, when besieging the medical representatives, others are excited, only he eats a boxed lunch on the side of the road, which shows that he is also a very rational person. ”
Hu Ge also said his general understanding, after all, he had just read the script and couldn't do a comprehensive understanding.
However, throughout the whole script, Lu benefited from it very important, and said that the male number two was okay, which also made Hu Ge very excited.
is not only the second male lead, but also a very subversive character, no need for Li Qian to say, he knows that he has to work his appearance and makeup.
"That's partly right. ”
Li Qian smiled and picked up the script, "This character has a core element, which can be summed up in eight words, a strong desire to survive, and a desire to die." ”
Want to die?
Hu Ge was a little puzzled, how could he want to die when he had a newborn child.
Li Qian continued, "Needless to say, the desire to survive is present in every patient, when the patients besieged the medical representative, he sat on the side and ate a boxed lunch, watching the noisy scene in front of him, and still laughing, in addition to reason, because he knew that it was useless to do so, at that time he was desperate in his heart, and it was only because of his love for his wife and children that he maintained the only hope."
This kind of person, Cheng Yong gave a little hope, which can make him extremely excited, when Cheng Yong shouted to him when he broke up, his expression would be numb, cowardly, powerless, endless pain and despair, much more desperate than everyone else, because he has a heart to die, and he committed suicide twice in the script. ”
.......
After reading the script twice and having a general understanding of the characters, Li Qian also communicated with everyone, and gave them time to ponder.
Xu Zheng and Tan Zuo tried a scene before going to bed at home, and Xu Zheng really found that obscene and greasy feeling.
In addition, Hu Ge also tried on makeup, after all, he is quite handsome, and this appearance is definitely not good for photogenic.
The feeling after makeup is good, and people who have experienced death threats, the feeling of being born to die, that look, and numb facial expression, are quite in place.
Basically, there is no big problem, but it will take time, and we will talk about it after the New Year.
