Chapter 232 Confirmation in front of and behind the scenes ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

"Old Wu, are you kidding me?" Fang Shu looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, she never thought that the actor would fall on her head.

As a director, Wu Jianye didn't use his girlfriend as the leading role, but found Fang Shu!

Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm really not joking about this. You are not suitable for the role in the movie, but you are very suitable for the role of the heroine Song Lian in my movie. How about it, my old classmate is interesting enough, first The heroine of the movie is given to you!"

Wu Jianye's words made everyone at the scene a little surprised. Everyone thought that Wu Jianye was joking, but seeing Wu Jianye's smiling face and Zhu Jian's calm appearance, it was obvious that the two had said this long ago. thing.

In fact, this is indeed the case. At the beginning, Wu Jianye actually wanted to give Zhu Zhu the role of Songlian, the soul character in the movie "Raise the Red Lantern".

At that time, he also gave the script to Zhu Jue, but after Zhu Juan tried it a few times, both of them felt that Zhu Juan's temperament did not match Songlian, so they had to give up in the end.

The film itself is a film jointly produced by Yanjing Film Academy and its affiliated Yanjing Film Academy Experimental Studio. The actors in the film are naturally mainly students from Yanjing Film Academy, so Wu Jianye thought of it. My old classmate Fang Shu.

If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, Fang Shu would have played the role of Chen Bailu in the 85 movie "Sunrise". "Sunrise" is based on Cao Yu's play of the same name, set in Jinmen in the 20s, and tells the story of young women. This is the story of Chen Bailu who became degenerate due to the influence of society, and finally committed suicide because of losing hope of a new life.

The background of the story is somewhat similar to that of "Raise the Red Lantern". Both young women are slowly changing due to external social factors. Fang Shu even won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress with "Sunrise".

"Old Wu, are you kidding?" Fang Shu was a little unsure whether Wu Jianye was telling the truth.

"Of course not, but if you want to agree, you still have to participate in the audition. If there is no problem in the audition, the heroine is yours!" Wu Jianye said firmly.

Gong Li, the original heroine of the movie "Raise the Red Lantern", is definitely not suitable now. At this time, she has not yet been admitted to the Chinese opera. She is just a third-year student. At this time, she still has no way to control it!

Seeing that Wu Jianye really didn't seem to be joking, Fang Shu asked, "Then can I read the script?"

Wu Jianye glanced at Zhu Jue, Zhu Juan smiled slightly, got up and went to the study room, took out the script of "Raise the Red Lantern" and Song Lian's biography, and handed them to Fang Shu.

While Fang Shu was reading the script, Wu Jianye smiled at Tian Zhuangzhuang again: "Zhuang Zhuang, are you interested in coming to me to be an assistant director?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang held the slices of steamed buns that had just been baked on the stove in his hand. He rolled his eyes at Wu Jianye and said, "If you don't call me Zhuangzhuang, I will agree!"

"Okay, then I'll take it as your consent, Zhuang Zhuang!"

Although Tian Zhuangzhuang is quite controversial in later generations, it is undeniable that he has his own uniqueness in character shooting, especially in "Raise the Red Lantern", which is very rigorous in character creation. When he was in the academy, he was a rare gifted student in the directing department. With Tian Zhuangzhuang helping him, Wu Jianye could rest assured.

Wu Jianye asked two classmates for help one after another, and immediately made many of the classmates around him start to feel excited. Everyone has just joined the studio, and except for the students of the acting department, everyone else has to go through qualifications. Now Wu Jianye Shooting this movie can be said to have given everyone a shortcut, so they all looked at Wu Jianye with hopeful eyes.

Wu Jianye raised his hands and said hastily: "If there is a suitable position, it must be reserved for our group of students, but it still depends on whether everyone is suitable for this position or role, let's take it slowly!"

Everyone also understands that this is only the initial stage of the film, and many things must be done step by step, but they also joked to Wu Jianye in a joking tone, don't forget your old classmates when you have a chance.

After Wu Shuangqing and Zhao Xiaoyan bought food, everyone went to the table and chatted while drinking, but Fang Shu asked Zhu Zhuan to take her to the study. She needed to read the script carefully.

While drinking, Zhang Huijun sat next to Wu Jianye. Zhang Huijun, Mu Deyuan and other students who stayed in school can be said to have the most balanced mentality. When they stayed in school, they knew that they would have more work in the future. The most important thing is theoretical knowledge, and the specific practical work is not so important.

"How is Zhao Fei in Chang'an now?" Wu Jianye asked softly. Zhao Fei and Zhang Huijun were in the same dormitory at the beginning, both in 306, and Zhao Fei was also the youngest in their dormitory.

Zhang Huijun and the others often tease Zhao Fei. During the first winter vacation of class 78, the college bought the students the bus tickets to go home, and Zhang Huijun was responsible for buying the tickets. At that time, the Spring Festival was approaching, and Yanjing It was very difficult to book train tickets. At that time, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Zhao Fei were all students in Chang'an. Zhang Huijun lied to Zhao Fei that other students had tickets, but when they arrived at Zhao Fei's place, the train station staff took Zhao Fei's I lost my name, so this year Zhao Fei can't go back to Chang'an, and Zhao Fei was so scared that he was restless for several days, without emotion, and didn't speak
"It's okay, I made a phone call two days ago, and I'm still in the factory now!" Zhang Huijun glanced at Wu Jianye and asked, "Do you want to use Zhao Fei?"

"That's right, Zhao Fei's photography skills are nothing to say, I want him to be my photographer for this movie!" Wu Jianye nodded.

Zhao Fei was originally the cinematographer of the movie "Raise the Red Lantern", so Wu Jianye didn't need to be replaced.

"That's a good relationship, this kid must be very happy to hear that!" Zhang Huijun also said happily.

"Then give me his phone number at the studio, and I'll call him tomorrow!" Wu Jianye said.

"to make!"

The meal was finished, and Fang Shu hadn't finished reading the script yet, but it didn't delay her making a decision.

"Old Wu, when is your audition for this play?"

"If you have time tomorrow, come directly to the Youth Film Studio!" Wu Jianye also wanted to make a decision on the candidate early. After the candidate is selected, he will go to the shooting location of "Raise the Red Lantern" .

Fang Shu did not hesitate, "Then I will go there tomorrow morning!"

"I asked the kitchen to save food for you, let's eat first!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Fang Shu's audition went very smoothly the next day. Wu Jianye and the production director assigned to Wu Jianye by the experimental studio were very satisfied with her performance. In addition, she is a student who graduated from the academy, so she can be regarded as a rooted actress. The seedlings are red.

"Okay, you are welcome to join!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Fang Shu was also very happy. After reading the script yesterday, she became very interested in this movie. After returning to the dormitory, she read the biography of Song Lian written by Wu Jianye overnight. Her audition today can be said to be handy.

"Well, I didn't expect that I would become the heroine of your first film!" Fang Shu laughed.

"It's all fate!" Wu Jianye laughed, watching the joke.

Fang Shu naturally knew that Wu Jianye was joking, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for your notice!"

"Well, Experimental Film Studio will second you with Yan Film Studio first, and we can make preparations after the formalities are completed!"

In "Raise the Red Lantern", there are a total of six main characters, the master of the Chen family, the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, the fourth wife, and Yan'er.

In the original movie, Ma Jingwu, the eldest wife Jin Shuyuan, and the second wife Cao Cuifen played the role of the old master of the Chen family. Wu Jianye is not going to change them. Although this movie appeared a few years earlier, their age makes them There won't be much change in image over the next few years.

The first thing Wu Jianye found was Ma Jingwu, and it was Ma Jingwu who contacted through Zhu Zhuan.

Ma Jingwu himself is also a student of the Film Academy, and is now a teacher of the Acting Department of the Film Academy. As for his relationship with Zhu Juan, it is because Ma Jingwu starred in Zhu Juan's first movie "Traitor".

With these relationships, Ma Jingwu happily agreed to Wu Jianye's invitation to take on the role of Chen Zuoqian, the master of the Chen family.

Ma Jingwu, as a teacher of the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy, naturally has many star students under his command, such as the well-known uncle Zhang Jiayi, and the professional villain Liu Yijun are all students of this student.

During the chat with Ma Jingwu, Wu Jianye knew that this man had a rich and colorful life. His father was a famous surgeon who owned a local hospital and his family was quite wealthy.His father was a chivalrous man, and he made friends with the world. Every day, he greeted and sent him to the court to be lively, but unexpectedly, he aroused the hatred of the local officials, who wanted to arrest his father on suspicion of treason.With the help of his friends, his father and his family fled all the way north, and began a seven-year wandering career.

When his family left WLMQ, Ma Jingwu was only four years old. He didn't know the misery in the world. He thought he was going on a long trip, and sat in his mother's arms with a smile on his way north.After walking to Altai, the northernmost part of XJ, my father's beating heart finally settled down, and he decided to settle here temporarily.

Moreover, Ma Jingwu's wife is also a teacher of the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy. The husband and wife can be said to be a model of husband and wife.

The eldest wife Jin Shuyuan was born as a drama actor, and her acting skills are naturally no problem. Although her face is very mean, she is very kind. After receiving Wu Jianye's invitation, she also agreed to take the role of the eldest wife.

The second wife, Cao Cuifen, is also a former student of the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy. At the same time, her husband is also an actor of Yanjing Film Studio. After reading the script, she readily agreed to star in the film.

By the way, everyone may not be familiar with the name Cao Cuifen, but young friends must know that the upright and right old lady Sheng in "Do you know, do you know if it's green, fat, red and thin" is played by Cao Cuifen In the movie "Raise the Red Lantern", the role of the second wife, who is upright on the outside and dark on the inside, is just right for Cao Cuifen to play her acting skills.

As long as the other secondary characters are of the right age, Wu Jianye is not going to change them.

But the third wife, an actress who was born as an actor, and Yan'er, a maid, made Wu Jianye scratch his head.

In the end, it was Fang Shu who reminded Wu Jianye of one of his classmates.

Li Xiaoli!
When filming "The Peacock Princess", the two collaborated briefly. As for the image of Li Xiaoli, Wu Jianye thought about it and it really fits the character of the third wife.

In Huaxia's first TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", Li Xiaoli plays the socialite, and the female spy Luo Maoli's frivolity, affectation, and slight arrogance make her fit the image of the third wife in the movie very well. The main thing is that Li Xiaoli is also a lover of Peking opera, and I believe she can take over He Saifei's role as the good third wife.

After Li Xiaoli graduated from Yanjing Film Academy, she was assigned to the actor department of Jinmen TV Station. After Fang Shu asked for a contact number, Wu Jianye immediately contacted Li Xiaoli.

When Li Xiaoli heard that there was an opportunity to make a film, she immediately agreed to Wu Jianye's invitation, and said that she would immediately buy a train ticket to come to the audition.

The process went very smoothly. So far, only the role of Yan'er is left as the main actor of the entire crew. Wu Jianye's idea is that this role should not be too old, and the age of sixteen or seventeen is the most suitable age. It is definitely inappropriate to find an actor among classmates.

Wu Jianye began to recall those young actors who were suitable for the role of Yan'er.

Soon, Wu Jianye set his target on Ru Lao.

Wu Jianye was deeply impressed by her role as Su Ma Lagu in later generations, and she is now 16 years old. When the film officially starts filming next year, she will be 17 years old, which is also in line with the age of Yan'er.

But soon Wu Jianye started scratching his head. He only remembered that Ru Mao was from Lin'an, but she must still be in high school at this age, but where would Wu Jianye know where she went to? There was no way, Wu Jian Ye had no choice but to call Dai Zhaoan and ask him to inquire to see if he could find her.

As for how Wu Jianye knew about her, Wu Jianye just told Dai Zhaoan that he had seen this girl when he went to Lin'an, and Dai Zhaoan didn't ask much, but Lin'an was so crowded that he wasn't sure if he could find it.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Try it, you can find the best one, if you can't find a way to think of him again!"

Yenching Film Academy.

Wu Jianye found the dean Cheng Yin again, this time to ask for leave, the actor's job was almost done, Wu Jianye was going to Zhaoyu, Jin Province to inspect the filming location.

"The letter of introduction from the academy and the studio has already been written. When we get there, we will observe carefully and communicate with the local government!" Cheng Yin entrusted.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Thank you, Dean!"

"How is it, are you nervous about being a director for the first time?" Cheng Yin asked with concern.

"It's impossible to say that I'm not nervous, but I have the confidence to turn nervousness into motivation!" Wu Jianye said seriously.

"Well, as long as you have this idea, don't be stressed, and don't worry too much about the military order!"
