tearjerker director

Chapter 4 Heroine Candidates

I have to say that it is indeed much easier for the second generation of stars to join the entertainment industry than other grassroots.

Like making a movie.

Li Yi took out a script, which was considered a relatively reliable script.

Then, the main actors were decided. For example, Li Yi's father played the leading role, that is, the role of the father Li Longjiu in it.

Luo Xian plays the role of the director of the correctional institution.

Li Yi didn't need to worry about the rest of the actors at all. Li Zhenye, Luo Xian, You Ningsheng, and mother Yi Lingling chatted together and selected the other actors.

Of course, there's no such thing as auditions.

Li Yi didn't pretentiously want to do auditions or anything like that.

Because, other actors, such as the prisoners in Room No. [-], or the police chief who blamed the hero for his daughter's death.

Waiting for the main and secondary supporting roles, basically Li Zhenye and the others think which one is suitable in a few words, and then make a phone call on the spot to decide directly.

What surprised Li Yi even more is that most of these actors are not unknown people. Although they are not big stars, many people can probably see these people in old Hong Kong movies or in those old Hong Kong dramas. .

And basically they didn't even know the script, but on the phone, Li Zhenye played You Ningsheng's sign, saying that You Ningsheng thought it was good after reading the script, and then the other party agreed without saying a word.

After Li Yi learned about these people's information, he didn't have any opinions.

Because these roles, if they are important, are indeed very important, but if they are not important, they are just that.

And these actors Li Yi and the others are looking for are not inexperienced rookies, but old actors with very old qualifications.

It's just that most of them are somewhat similar to Li Yi's father, and they are all supporting roles.

As a result, within a few hours, Li Yi discovered to his surprise that the actors of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" were almost all cast!
And they're all pretty solid actors.

It can only be said that although Hong Kong Island movies have declined, some backgrounds are still there.

The point is that these actors are all old actors who have caught a lot of masterpieces one by one.

However, this also has a lot to do with the high output of Hong Kong Island's film and television industry.

As for whether it can act well?Do you need to experience life?This is really not needed!
First of all, the protagonist is a father with an IQ of only six years old. Li Yi's father, Li Zhenye, can play the role because he has played similar roles before.

Secondly, the other relatively important supporting roles, the prisoner in Room [-], for these veteran actors on Hong Kong Island, who has never played a similar role? On Hong Kong Island, what was the most popular thing here?
Community movies, young and Dangerous, police movies, and these kinds of movies, these old actors can casually name several movies they have starred in.

So, there is really no need to experience life or anything like that.

Because they really don't want to play too much of this stuff.

Of course, because of the decline of Hong Kong films, it would be a bit unsuitable for such themes to expand to the national market.

However, the filming of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was just right!

As for the crew, there is no need to worry. Li Zhenye said before that he needs to find a reliable assistant director for Li Yi.

He really did what he said!

The assistant director's name is Zhuo Yixiong.

Zhuo Yixiong is indeed not a famous director, but he is definitely an experienced director. He was born in restricted-rated movies in his early years. Although he later independently directed a few movies, they all hit the street.

But it doesn't mean that Zhuo Yixiong's ability is not enough, at least he is more than enough to be the assistant director, set up the crew, and be responsible for the daily affairs of the crew!

Not to mention the behind-the-scenes work, there are not many others on Hong Kong Island, and there are really many people in this area.

Zhuo Yixiong assembled a complete behind-the-scenes team with just one greeting.

Li Yi is naturally happy and relaxed. As for cultivating his own team, he really doesn't have such an idea, at least not yet!

As for the shooting locations, especially the shooting of prisons and courts, it is really much simpler on Hong Kong Island than in the Mainland.

Zhuo Yixiong quickly settled that the prison scene will be filmed in Stanley Prison on Hong Kong Island. In fact, this is normal, because in the past, the crew often went to correctional institutions, prisons and other places to shoot scenes!
As for the rest, "The Gift of Room Seven" doesn't need any special scenes.

It only took less than a week to get this done, and according to Zhuo Yixiong, it was already too slow. When Hong Kong movies were at their peak, sometimes it didn’t even take a month for a movie to go from project approval to release. time.

The entire crew, funds, actors, directors, etc., are declared in place.

However, there is still one last link missing, which is the role of the adult version of the heroine!
It was nothing at all, Li Zhenye, You Ningsheng, Yi Lingling, and even Luo Xian and others had all recommended candidates.

Moreover, they are all relatively reliable candidates, and some of them are quite well-known, such as Xiaohuadan of Hong Kong Island TV.

But in the end, Li Yi didn't choose, there was no way, the prototype of the original Park Shin Hye still gave Li Yi a preconceived impression!

After seeing the candidates recommended by several people, Li Yi was not particularly satisfied. In fact, he already had a candidate in his heart.

"Have you been selected?" Li Yi felt dissatisfied after seeing several actors recommended by others, so Li Zhenye guessed that Li Yi was probably selected.

"That's right." Li Yi nodded.

"Who? Let me tell you, you can't be fooling around. If this movie is real, then even if your father and I risk our face, it will be very difficult for you to make another one!" Li Zhenye said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Dad, of course I attach great importance to this movie, and I don't know how to play tricks. In fact, you also know this person. We worked with him last time, but it wasn't so pleasant." Li Yi didn't blush. Blushing, after all, it was Li Yi's fault, what does it have to do with Li Yi?
"Could it be Chen Yinger?" Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi in astonishment and asked.

Li Yi nodded and said, "How is it? Is this reliable?"

"No, Chen Yinger is indeed good, but the problem is that last time you made a fool of yourself by rejecting the great director Wu Junming's play and accepting yours, but you think she would still be willing to accept your play?" Li Zhenye He looked at Li Yidao like a fool.

"That's not sure! How will you know if you don't try?" Li Yi said to try, but he was quite sure in his heart. If he couldn't be persuaded, he would sleep in it!

Although during this period of time, Li Yi's waist was a little over-used, but he has already recovered by now.

After all, you are young!

at the same time!

In a certain apartment in the capital, Chen Yinger, whom Li Zhenye and Li Yi were discussing, was wearing a thin suspender nightgown, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, oblivious to the joyful moment.

Of course, at this time, no man was lucky enough to be able to spy on the truth.

pat!

She casually threw a script on the coffee table.

"I said, at least you should take care of your image!" At this time, a woman sitting on the sofa opposite her was a little dumbfounded.

"It's tiring enough to put it outside every day. This is my home. If I still care about my image, what's the point?" Chen Yinger raised her hands high and made a gesture without caring about her image. He stretched his waist fiercely, and said disapprovingly.It looks more charming and attractive, but it's a pity that the one in front of her is a woman who doesn't know how to appreciate it at all!

"Okay, let's not talk about this, in your house, you have the final say, let's talk about the business, director Wu Junming's new play, you rejected him once, this time you will not reject it again?" The woman opposite Chen Yinger , her manager, Yao Ling shook her head helplessly, then said with a headache while looking at the script that Chen Yinger randomly threw on the table.

"Are you talking about this, or that?" Chen Yinger asked teasingly at the script on the table and the room card of a certain hotel on the other side.

"Is there a difference?" Yao Ling asked angrily.

"Yes, there is no difference! But I, Chen Yinger, am not that kind of person!" Chen Yinger leaned on the sofa and crossed her arms.

"Hehe, what kind of person? Don't tell me you haven't communicated with that Li Yi in depth?" Yao Ling sneered.

"No, my sister, have you misunderstood? What I mean is, Li Yi is young, handsome, hardworking and hardworking, but Wu Junming is old and ugly at his age, so that's fine, but He is so old, can he bear him!" Chen Yinger said in a serious manner.

"No, there's something wrong with you!" Yao Ling suddenly looked Chen Yinger up and down, and then said with a sneer.

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Yinger said disapprovingly.

"I heard that Li Yi is going to make a movie again, shouldn't he invite you again? My little aunt, although women are bound to be blind sometimes, you can't be blind twice! He He's handsome, but being handsome can't be eaten as food, you should have some snacks!" Yao Ling suddenly thought of the news she had heard before, and couldn't help persuading her with some helplessness.

"Well, he did invite me, but I declined!" Chen Yinger replied while stretching out her hand to play with her slender green fingers.

It's just that Yao Ling knew Chen Yinger very well, but she rolled her eyes and said, "And then?"

"Then?" Chen Yinger raised her head, glanced at Yao Ling Zhanyan charmingly and said with a charming smile, "Then, he said that he would come to persuade me in person!"

"Is it sleeping clothes for you? You are really hopeless!" Yao Ling slapped her forehead, looking as if she was dying of grief.

"Okay, my sister, do you really think I'm trying to seduce him? Here is the book he sent over. Take a look, I think it's not bad, and Haolai is a heroine. He is more beautiful than me. I can't afford to lose!" Chen Yinger sat up straight, then took out a script from under the coffee table and handed it to Yao Ling.

Yao Ling was helpless, but jokes were jokes, she immediately became serious when it came to business, took the script and read it.
