tearjerker director

Chapter 542 Group audition into a show?

After news broke that Meridian of War needed a large cast of eight- to sixteen-year-olds.

Almost all domestic actors who meet the conditions have moved their minds.

Mainly Li Yi's movies, the temptation is too great.

The point is, Li Yi's movie audition can be said to be relatively fair.

It depends entirely on the performance of the actors, whether they are suitable or not, not on their identity and background.

Therefore, as long as they meet the requirements, almost all of them sharpen their heads and want to be added to the list of candidates and auditions.

Even if Zhuo Yixiong passed the preliminary screening, there are still not a few people who meet the appearance, age and other conditions.

"So many?" Li Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Zhuo Yixiong brought a thick stack of actor materials.

"That's not all there are, I've screened them, and the ones left are more in line with your requirements, otherwise there are more!" Zhuo Yixiong said helplessly.

In fact, this is too normal. Huaguo lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people.

In particular, this is Li Yi's movie, and Li Yi's movie is either directly designated by Li Yi. If it is an open recruitment, compared with other crews, it is relatively fair, which leads to, there will be So many people have sent information to the crew to sign up.

After all, for them, if there is no date to make a shot, if they can be selected, then it will definitely be the rhythm of reaching the sky in one step.

Not to mention whether the role of the movie is important or not, but as long as you act in Li Yi's movie, even if it's just a supporting role, it is definitely an extremely heavy resume.

Li Yi first thought that it was difficult to find actors, but it was actually because, in this age group, he was not familiar with many actors.

In fact, there is no shortage of young actors of this age in the entertainment industry, but many of them are not well-known.

And in many cases, most actors can't even reach the projects of top directors like Li Yi.

Li Yi flipped through the documents.

Zhuo Yixiong explained: "Because we don't have so much time to slowly train the actors, so I first screen out the actors who have no acting experience, and the rest of them have at least starred in no less than three films. Actors in film and television works."

Li Yi nodded and continued to watch.

Suddenly there were a few documents that made Li Yi frown slightly.

Because the people listed in those actor profiles are all relatively famous and popular idols at the moment.

The age is quite suitable, but the problem is that Li Yi's movie, he himself is the biggest name, and he doesn't need to use these popular idols to boost the popularity of the movie.

And although these few had experience in acting, Li Yi instinctively rejected them.

"Forget it, let's arrange an audition together." Li Yi thought for a while and said.

"However, there are still too many people, and it takes too much time to audition one by one." Li Yi frowned.

In fact, auditions and so on, sometimes I really can’t see too many things.

It's just that it's more about improvisation.

But this time there are so many people, even a few minutes of audition can make Li Yi tired enough.

"Well, haven't we already found a shooting location? Just let them go there and climb that section of the wild Great Wall, so that they can experience the environment there. A group of people should be eliminated." Li Yi suddenly smiled Said.

Zhuo Yixiong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then asked worriedly: "But the environment there is indeed a bit worse, and the Wild Great Wall is very steep, do you really want them to go there?"

"Well, it's more than that. When the time comes, let them survive in the wild by themselves. It won't take too long!" The more Li Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this special audition method would allow him to choose a truly suitable actor.

You must know that the little soldiers in "War Meridian" are not modern urban children who don't stick their fingers in the mud. In this regard, there will definitely be a big difference in temperament.

After all, if these young actors can become young actors, their family conditions must not be too bad.

The "earth smell" on the body is obviously insufficient.

Li Yi didn't want people to tell at a glance that they were not real little soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but urban children in Eighth Route Army uniforms!

And what Li Yi hopes to be able to shoot is that what they perform is the kind of little soldier of the Eighth Route Army who has a taste of life and has an earthy atmosphere.

Therefore, this special audition trip may not be able to wash away the "urban" and "modern" flavors of them, but Li Yi wants to come, but at least they can have some "wild" flavors.

Zhuo Yixiong didn't pay much attention to Li Yi's thoughts. In fact, many directors have different methods and preferences in casting roles.

There are even more weird casting methods, including audition methods.

The only difference is that this time Li Yi came directly to a casting to experience life collectively.

After the news was announced, it didn't scare those people. After all, although it might be an unforgettable journey for those children, in the same way, once they performed well enough, the rewards would be huge.

Of course, the specific way of "experience" is actually simple and simple, that is, "wilderness survival" with "tasks"!
However, for those who auditioned, it was really the first time.

It was originally an audition, but the director didn't see him. Instead, he was told directly that if he wanted to audition, he had to accept the outdoor life experience of "Wild Great Wall" for half a month.

In fact, Li Yi doesn't have any special purpose. He just wants to see if he can bear the hardship. Anyway, there is no hard standard. When the time comes, it will be OK to directly name and pass the audition if the performance is better.

However, Li Yi's sudden whimsy made several media platforms very interested.

After all, this time the gimmicks can be said to be full, a bit like the feeling of draft summer camp.

And the reward is extremely generous, that is the selection of the main character of Li Yi's new movie.

In addition, these audition people range from eight-year-old boys to fifteen- or sixteen-year-old young ladies, and none of them are unknown people. On the contrary, there are quite a few of them who are quite famous.

For example, six of them are currently popular idol groups.

They are all fifteen or sixteen years old.

Therefore, Penguin Video, Kumao Video, and even Jingnan TV Station all came to the door after getting the news.

"What do they think?" Li Yi was not too surprised when it comes to surprises.

After all, there are many celebrity reality shows these days, and programs such as outdoor survival and wilderness survival are also popular.

Not to mention, this time, Li Yi's special audition was a very powerful gimmick, which was much more interesting than those purely outdoor star reality shows.

"They hope to turn this group audition into a show." Lou Jianjun said with a smile.

"Make it a show." Li Yi frowned slightly.

This doesn't quite match Li Yi's original intention.
