Huayu since 1980

Chapter 849 Actors Assemble

"How many main roles are there now?" Fang Shu asked Wu Jianye about the cast of the new movie during the meal.

Wu Jianye recalled for a while and said, "There are still three more."

Fang Shu: "What three are missing?"

"The butcher, the military adviser, and the Emperor Ming!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Butcher, I do have a candidate." Fang Shu said bluntly.

Wu Jianye's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Which one is it?"

"This person has some connections with us. It happened to be the year we graduated. He was admitted to the film academy and has always been the president of the student union of the academy!" Fang Shu said.

Wu Jianye was stunned, and said, "You're talking about the over-age student Cang Jin, right?"

Fang Shu smiled and said, "That's right, it's him."

Zang Jinsheng, audiences of later generations may be a little unfamiliar with him, but he was still very famous in China at the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century.

The most famous character is naturally Lu Zhishen in the CCTV version of "Water Margin"!
The reason why Wu Jianye said that he was overage was because when Lu Zhishen applied for the film academy, he had already exceeded the age limit, but he did very well in the exam, and he was accepted by the film academy with an exception. Little sensation yet.

After all, Zhang Yimou was the last one who asked the film academy to do this!

"What is he doing now?" Wu Jianye asked.

Fang Shu shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but after reading the script, I feel that Zang Jinsheng should be quite suitable for this role!"

Wu Jianye recalled Zang Jinsheng's appearance, felt that Fang Shu's recommendation was really good, and said, "Okay, I see, I'll ask someone from the company to contact him tomorrow!"

Although Wu Jianye didn't know what Zang Jinsheng was doing now, it didn't mean Tangting Culture didn't know.

On the second day, Wu Jianye asked Li Na to find the contact information of Zang Jinsheng.

After about half an hour, Li Na came to Wu Jianye's office and said, "Director Wu, Zang Jinsheng has already been contacted. Fortunately, we called him today, otherwise we would not have found him!"

Wu Jianye asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"On the phone with Zang Jinsheng just now, I found out that he has received an invitation from Xiangjiang director Hu Jinquan to participate in Hu Jinquan's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio." Li Na laughed.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's a coincidence!"

Li Na explained: "He is already on his way now."

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "By the way, find this person too!" After speaking, he handed Li Na a blank paper with his name written on it.

Li Na took a look and said with a smile, "Okay!"

About half an hour later, Zang Jin came to Tangting Culture panting.

"Director Wu, are you looking for me?" Zang Jinsheng said in a low voice after seeing Wu Jianye.

At this time, Zang Jinsheng was bareheaded and wearing a T-shirt, his bare arms looked very thick.

"Well, someone recommended you to star in my new movie, but I still want to see your skills!" Wu Jianye laughed.

The smile on Zang Jinsheng's face became even more obvious. Wu Jianye is now aggressively recruiting actors for his new movie. This matter is no longer news nationwide.

Today he originally planned to sign a contract with director Hu Jinquan of Xiangjiang, but when he was out, he received a call from Li Na. When he learned that Wu Jianye wanted to see him in person, he immediately made a plan in his heart. After making a decision, he must win the film contract.

Although Hu Jinquan is the great director of Xiangjiang, being able to participate in Wu Jianye's movie is the wish of almost every Chinese filmmaker. Now that this dream is put in front of him, how can he give up!
"Director Wu, don't worry, I will definitely behave well!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and brought Zang Jinsheng directly to the audition room. First, he gave Zang Jinsheng a line and the background of the characters. After a glance, Zang Jinsheng brewed his emotions for a while, and immediately began to perform.

Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei, Guan Hu and others watched and nodded.

Then Wu Jianye ordered someone to take Zang Jinsheng to change the costumes in the play. After Zang Jinsheng finished changing, Wu Jianye had already decided to use him.

After learning about Wu Jianye's decision, Zang Jinsheng even laughed happily.

Then Wu Jianye explained the contract to Zang Jinsheng. In fact, it was almost the same as Jiang Wenli and others, and it was a contract for five plays.

Zang Jinsheng naturally had no objection to this.

Soon Zang Jinsheng signed the contract, and was taken to Zhu Xinzhuang by dignified people for training.

After Zang Jinsheng left, Li Na found Wu Jianye again.

"Director Wu, you asked the person you contacted to find him, and he is already waiting in the lounge."

"Let someone come in!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

During this period of time, actor Zhao's affairs went very smoothly, which made Wu Jianye very happy.

After a while, a man with a paralyzed face was brought in by Li Na!

"Director Wu!" The man greeted Wu Jianye without knowing whether he was smiling or not.

Wu Jianye looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Dahong, may I ask how old you are?"

After Wu Jianye finished asking, he finally saw the shy look on Ni Dahong's face, and couldn't help laughing.

Ni Dahong was not angry either, and said in a muffled voice, "He was born in 60 years!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "You are four years younger than me!"

"Ok!"

It was Ni Dahong who was later called the actor with facial paralysis who was found by Wu Jianye, and Su Daqiang in "Everything is Good", making him the most hated father in the country.

Although the actor Ni Dahong is known as the actor with facial paralysis, he is actually an actor with a very wide range of roles. He can not only play the traitor Yan Song in "Da Ming 1566", but also play the forbearing and cunning Sima Yi in the new "Three Kingdoms". Being able to play the father Su Daqiang in "Everything is Good".

It can be said that there is no role that he cannot control!

The process of interviewing Ni Dahong is no different from that of Zang Jinsheng. Although Ni Dahong's acting skills have reached perfection in later generations, he is still a bit young after all, so those who should audition still have to audition.

Fortunately, throughout the process, Ni Dahong's performance was perfect.

"Very good, Dahong, I am very satisfied with your performance. If you have no personal opinion, we can sign the contract!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

The corner of Ni Dahong's mouth twitched, he didn't know whether he was smiling or not, but he agreed happily anyway.

However, what surprised Ni Dahong was that Tangting Culture did not sign a contract with him for five plays, but only two.

In fact, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Yijun, Fu Biao, and Fang Shu also received the same treatment as Ni Dahong!
Obviously they are different from Chen Daoxuan and others.

But anyway, Ni Dahong will definitely not give up this opportunity, and happily signed his name on the contract.

Like Zang Jinsheng, Ni Dahong was also sent to Zhu Xinzhuang's training ground.

After Ni Dahong left, Wu Jianye and others also returned to the office. Zhao Fei leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "Finally, most of the cast has been settled, and now there is only one Emperor Ming left. Think about it." Who did you use?"

Wu Jianye sat on his boss chair, took the tea that Li Na had just brought, and said with a smile: "There is already a prospect, but this person is not in Yanjing now, and we will go to Yanjing when we go to see the filming location." Just find him!"

Zhao Fei nodded and said, "Then when shall we set off?"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Just these two days, let's go to Zhu Xinzhuang first, and have a meeting with everyone, let's go."

Guan Hu asked: "Director Wu, how long shall we go this time?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Why, do you still have to report to your old man?"

Guan Fu blushed and said, "Of course not!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Do you know why you have to follow the whole process this time?"

Guan Hu nodded and said, "I know, Director Wu, you want to train me!"

Wu Jianye: "It's good to know. If I feel that you are capable enough this time, the company is going to hand over the sequel to "New Dragon Inn" to you when the filming of this movie is finished. Don't worry about it at that time." Live up to my trust in you!"

After getting along for this period of time, although I still don't know Guan Hu's actual ability, but in the process of chatting, Wu Jianye also knows some of Guan Hu's ideas, so after many considerations, I still have an idea. The sequel of "New Dragon Inn" was handed over to Guan Hu to complete.

In fact, Wu Jianye originally thought of Wang Xiaoshuai as the candidate, but later found that Wang Xiaoshuai was not very keen on this kind of martial arts style movie, so he had to give up.

In addition to Wang Xiaoshuai, there is actually another candidate, that is He Ping, but He Ping's style tends to be more realistic martial arts style, which does not match the temperament of "New Dragon Inn".

In the end, I had to cultivate it well on Guan Hu.

Hearing that Wu Jianye was going to hand over the sequel of "New Dragon Inn" to himself, Guan Hu once again showed a pleasant expression on his face. The sequel of this movie has always been a question mark in the domestic film industry. Everyone thought Wu Jianye will personally direct the sequel of this movie, but Wu Jianye has publicly stated many times that he will not be the director of this movie, so the question of the director of the sequel has become everyone's curiosity.

This is also the first time that Wu Jianye has appointed Guan Hu as the director of this sequel film. How can Guan Hu, who has just started his debut, not be happy!

Guan Hu at this time is like a character in a novel who is cheating.

Born into a film family, graduated from a prestigious school, after graduation, entered the best private film and television company in China, and now has the opportunity to be taught by the most powerful director in the country, and may become one of the best series of films in the country in the future the director.
This kind of experience is not cheating, what is it!

In the next few days, Wu Jianye will take care of Guan Hua's performance. As long as he can perform well during the shooting of his new movie, he can safely hand over the sequel of "New Dragon Inn" to Guan Hua.

But just to be on the safe side, Wu Jianye will still serve as the producer of the sequel!
We can wait until later to talk about this kind of thing.

In the afternoon, Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei, and Guan Hu came to Zhu Xinzhuang's training ground.

Because of the greeting in advance, the candidates who have been confirmed by the entire crew also came to Zhu Xinzhuang today.

Li Yapeng, Yu Feihong, Jiang Yu, He Yan, Chen Daohuang, Chen Wei, You Benchang, Jiang Wenli, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Zang Jinsheng, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Yijun, Fu Biao, Ni Dahong, Fang Shu and an old friend of Wu Jianye Teacher Ma Jingwu's [-] people were all present.

As for Teacher Ma Jingwu, when Wu Jianye went to the film school, he personally found Teacher Ma Jingwu and invited him to play the fortune-telling role in his new movie.

The two had already cooperated in "Raise the Red Lantern" before, and this time there is no problem with the cooperation. In fact, after receiving Wu Jianye's invitation, Teacher Ma Jingwu did not refuse at all.

Looking at the 17 people in front of him, Zhao Fei couldn't help sighing. It is impossible for ordinary movies to have so many characters, even if they are movies with many characters. But Wu Jianye found them in his new movie. With so many actors, the simple allocation of time is a very big problem.

If he hadn't read the script, if Wu Jianye hadn't been the director of this movie, Zhao Fei would now dare to conclude that this movie would definitely fail!
But now that Wu Jianye is so confident in this movie, he is willing to accompany Wu Jianye on the adventure!
At this time, everyone sat around the training ground, and everyone looked at Wu Jianye. This was their first collective memory, and they naturally valued it very much.

"Some of those present have worked with me, and some haven't, but no matter what, in the next period of time, everyone will eat in one pot, and I still have to tell you some things in advance!"

At the beginning of the scene, Wu Jianye emphasized his discipline on the set.

Those who have worked with each other already knew about it, and those who hadn't worked together were also told by Wu Jianye when they signed the contract, so after listening to Wu Jianye's discipline, no one raised any objections.

At the same time, this training, the younger generation of actors must be trained every day. As for veterans like You Benchang, Chen Wei, and Ma Jingwu, considering their physical conditions, they will still be familiar with them. That's fine. When the time comes to shoot, a double must be used.

The three old actors didn't have any opinions. Where is the age? Everyone knows their physical condition, and it has nothing to do with professionalism or not.

After the chat, Wu Jianye did not take everyone away, but directly asked Dai Zhen to bring over the food that had already been prepared.

"This is our crew's first dinner together. Everyone is so familiar with each other, especially the people from the two camps." Wu Jianye smiled while raising his glass.

Others also raised their glasses.

People like Ma Jingwu who came from the film academy came to the Zhu Xinzhuang campus in front of them and began to recall their past when they were eating so-so
