My rebirth is different

Chapter 799

"Director Zhang's point of view is reasonable, the choice of a student in school really fits the character in the book, it looks more real.

But I also want to say one more thing, that is, the reason why celebrities are celebrities is not only because of their online acting skills, but also their market appeal should not be underestimated.

Of course, the "Youth Trilogy" is already famous enough, and there is no need for stars to support the scene.

But it's not bad to use the right star to add icing on the cake.

For a big production with an investment of [-] million yuan, if the actors are all unknown, it can't be justified to be honest. "

Director Baogang said his words carefully, but the people present could still hear what he meant, and he still wanted to use a star.

"Oh, then, does Director Bao Gang have any suitable candidates for the leading actor?" Dong Xiaoxue asked with a smile.

For Dong Xiaoxue, whether she is a student or a star, there is no big difference, and the company is not short of the money that a star can afford.

The crux of the problem is whether this candidate can bring the characters in the book to life!
In other words, can it be recognized by "cousins"!

"I recommend two actors, Lu Yi and Chen Kun! Both of them, I think, are more in line with the character design of the male protagonist in the book." Director Baogang said straightforwardly without twitching.

It turned out to be these two people, and they were considered the top domestic actors at that time.

Especially Lu Yi, who can be said to be in full swing, known as the number one idol actor in China!
In 2003, the TV series "Male Talents and Female Appearance" starring Lu Yi won the first place in the ratings at the same time. This drama was considered to be the first domestic "fashion idol drama" at that time.

And Lu Yi has become the Prince Charming in the minds of countless people.

At that time, if you randomly pulled a passerby on the street and asked her who was the most handsome male star.

Basically, more than [-]% of them will blurt out, "Lu Yi"!
Even at that time, when complimenting someone for being handsome, they would say "You look like Lu Yi"...

As for Chen Kun, he is also an idol niche who has emerged in recent years, and his appearance is also extremely handsome.

The two actors also have a lot in common.

The first thing they have in common is that they all started to make their mark in the dramas directed by Bao Gang.

In 98, Lu Yi starred in "Never Close My Eyes" directed by director Bao Gang. In the play, he played Xiao Tong, a handsome and sunny law student who was willing to work as an undercover anti-drug student. The play premiered in March of the following year. He won the The audience's favorite actor in the first China Golden Eagle TV Arts Festival and the best actor in the 3th China TV Golden Eagle Awards.

In 2000, Chen Kun, a fourth-year university student, starred in the TV series "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" directed by Bao Gang.

The second common point is that last year, that is, in 2003, the domestic TV drama industry belonged to the two of them.

Lu Yi starred in "Male Talents and Women's Appearance", and Chen Kun starred in "The Family of Gold Fans", both are big hits!

…………

"Director Baogang's recommendation of these two candidates seems good." Dong Xiaoxue said thoughtfully.

In fact, she also tends to choose celebrities. If she chooses an ordinary student to play the role of Yu Wenfei, Dong Xiaoxue feels that it will be more risky.

Because starting from the second book, Yu Wenfei's experience in the book will be more complicated, and he is no longer a simple student.

Can those students in school manage such a character?
"If I choose a star, I actually have a better candidate. It's just that we may not be able to hire this person." Director Zhang also said with a smile.

Although his suggestion was opposed by director Baogang, he was not angry, because the two actors recommended by director Baogang felt very good to him.

The reason why he said to use school students at the beginning was purely because of personal habits. If the conditions are suitable, he is not opposed to using celebrities.

Hearing what Director Zhang said, Dong Xiaoxue immediately became interested. Is there a better candidate?
And it may not be able to please?

How famous is this star!
Is it Oscar winner level?

However, among the Chinese, there is a big enough cafe and suitable for the role of Yu Wenfei. Dong Xiaoxue couldn't think of anyone for a while.

Fa Ge Xing Xing and the others are very popular and difficult to recruit, but they are not suitable for this role.

"What's the name of the leading actor in this show? I'm talking about him, isn't it difficult to invite, haha..." Director Zhang smiled heartily.

Director Dong Xiaoxue and Baogang suddenly realized that Director Zhang was talking about Yu Wenfei!

Of course, this "Yu Wenfei" refers to Mr. Fei in reality!
He is indeed a star. Although he is not in the entertainment industry, he is more famous and dazzling than the big stars in the entertainment industry!
If you want to invite Mr. Fei to act, it is of course very, very difficult!
The two couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Well... Boss Fei is so busy, I guess he really doesn't have time to film. But I can try to ask him, in case he is willing, but don't expect too much.

Let's just say this for the male lead, among the three options, the best is that Mr. Fei is willing to come over, but the possibility is extremely low.The second is Lu Yi and Chen Kun to choose one of the two, and the last is the male lead by the school students.I'll consult Mr. Fei for his opinion before making a decision.

As for the heroine, do the two directors have any good candidates to recommend? "

Dong Xiaoxue made a final decision and said.

Neither of the two directors had any objections. With such an important role as the male protagonist, of course the funder and author of the original work has the most say. The two directors only have the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.

"Heroine, I've also watched "The Trilogy of Youth" in the past two days. The female lead in the book does not have as many roles as the male lead, and the acting skills are not high, so I still recommend choosing from among the students." Director Zhang simply said.

He does like to use new actors, old ones are used to it.

Director Bao Gang didn't object this time either, and nodded in agreement, "Well, Director Zhang is right, and it's hard to find female stars of that age. Why don't you choose from the students, whose temperament is more in line with the female stars in the book?" The simplicity and kindness of the Lord."

Dong Xiaoxue had an idea. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Is this good? Let's have a heroine audition and choose the heroine from the high schools and universities in the two big cities in the capital city. It can help create momentum for our new drama and increase its popularity."

Naturally, the two directors would not object, the audition was nothing more than trying to have fun, and there was no need for the two of them to come forward to do the work.

Those who entered the finals in the end, just need the two of them to interview and make a decision.

That's the deal. As for the other supporting roles in the play, I will leave it to the two directors to discuss and decide.

…………

"Stop messing around! I don't have time to film. It's estimated that this trilogy will take a year to film. It's not like you don't know how busy I am."

After listening to Dong Xiaoxue's male lead selection plan, Yu Wenfei shook his head repeatedly.

If he just showed his face in the play and played a cameo role, then he might still be a little interested.

But to be a male lead, to shoot dozens of episodes of TV series, isn't that a joke!
Dong Xiaoxue had no hope in the first place, so it is not surprising to hear Yu Wenfei say so now.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Didn't we think that you would be the most suitable one? The male lead in this book, Mr. Fei, you wrote it according to yourself. It's so similar. If you come to play the role, the effect will definitely explode!"

This is true. When Yu Wenfei wrote the book, the hero in the book was indeed written according to himself. Of course, it was properly beautified...

Since Yu Wenfei didn't want to waste time acting, he could only choose from the remaining two options.

"Mr. Fei, do you think these two actors are suitable for this role, or do you have other candidates who are more suitable?" Dong Xiaoxue asked again.

Yu Wenfei thought for a while, and said directly: "Just Lu Yi, he is more suitable to play the male lead. As for Chen Kun, he can also play the second male lead. The images of the two of them just fit the male lead and the second lead in the book. .”

For Lu Yi, Yu Wenfei has a relatively good impression.

The image is relatively sunny and healthy, especially the relationship between him and his wife, which is even more commendable.

He's a good man who takes care of his family.

Moreover, Lu Yi is still a native of Shanghai, and Shanghai is the headquarters of the Facebook family. It is more appropriate to choose a local actor.

"Okay, I'll send someone to talk to the two of them. What about the heroine, what advice does Mr. Fei have?" Dong Xiaoxue asked again.

"Just do what you want, hold an audition, it's a warm-up for our drama in advance. Don't make the scope too big, and don't take too long. Let's just go to the two cities of the capital of Shanghai. Oh, the age must be Over 16 years old, too young to fit Xiao Ran's personality in the book." Yu Wenfei said.

Even if this matter is settled.

…………

"Lu Yi, I have good news for you! You have been handpicked by Mr. Fei to be the male protagonist of the Youth Trilogy. How is it? The schedule is okay. Of course, if there is a problem, I also suggest that you immediately reject the other ones. The film crew agreed immediately. You must know that we have invested [-] million yuan in this drama, and with the reader base of this book, it will definitely be a phenomenon after it is filmed!"

Director Baogang personally called Lu Yi. This is also the actor he brought to debut, and the two have a very good relationship in private.

"What? The crew of "Youth Trilogy" invited me to be the male lead? Mr. Fei personally made the roll call! That's great! Director Zhao, I can finally film under your hands again. You need to take care of me. My schedule Absolutely no problem, we were talking about a TV series, so naturally we don't need to talk about it now."

Lu Yi's reaction was not what director Baogang expected, and he happily agreed.

Now in the entertainment circle, all actors with a certain reputation are paying attention to this pioneering work of Facebook Film and Television Media!
The No. [-] film director in China joined hands with the No. [-] TV drama director, and the two co-directed!

In recent years, there is no doubt that the novel sales rankings in the book market dominate the list!
A super hit book with a readership base of over [-] million!

The shooting investment amounted to [-] million!

Blessed by Mr. Fei's halo, and featured on Facebook!

It would make people envious to bring any one out, not to mention all these conditions gathered together.

Not to mention the number one male lead, even playing a supporting role would be the dream of those first-line actors.
