tearjerker director

Chapter 881 He, who used to be an actor, is now a street cobbler?

As for the heroine, it's more interesting.

Xu Fangfang.

Hong Kong Island is a veteran and capable actress. Although she has not won a best actress, she is also a golden supporting actress.

The reason why it is more interesting is that Xu Fangfang and Fang Zhisheng once staged a vigorous love affair.

It's just a pity that love in the entertainment industry has always been extravagant, and the two ended up breaking up.

Purely in terms of image and acting skills, Xu Fangfang is quite suitable, but the ex-lover now wants to act as a screen couple, and it is very interesting that they are an old couple.

After Li Yi informed the two of them, neither of them had any objections.

However, think that although Xu Fangfang was married for a while, she has divorced and is currently single.

However, Fang Zhisheng has had several relationships, but he is still alone now.

At the same time, Fang Zhisheng has always claimed that he is Meng Qiguang's protégé, because he filmed many scenes with Meng Qiguang back then. Although a large number of his middle-aged scenes were supporting roles, it can indeed be said that Fang Zhisheng's current achievements are due to Meng Qiguang. It was trained by one hand, so it's hard not to make Li Yi suspect that Meng Qiguang recommended them to act as the couple in this play, whether they have private goods, and want to match the two.

After Fang Zhisheng and Xu Fangfang, the male and female protagonists, are finalized, the rest are the eldest son Luo Jinyi and the youngest son Luo Jiner.

In fact, there are also quite a few candidates for this aspect, but because this time it is a Hong Kong film, and it is also a type of past events on Hong Kong Island, so in the end, I chose one of the young Hong Kong actors who won the Hong Kong Island Film Awards this year. Luo Feng of the Best Newcomer Award.

For the rest of the actors, Li Yi didn't look for them personally, but directly threw them to Zhuo Yixiong.

In terms of the scene, whoever chose Wing Lee Street is the only street in the city center that has preserved the style of the [-]s and [-]s, but the scene shown in the movie is actually Sham Shui Po.

Therefore, the crew also need to spend a lot of energy on the layout of the scene, not only that, but also need to spend a lot of effort to remove the surrounding high-rise buildings in the later stage, and use the computer to create the scene of the year.

According to the current situation, this only remaining street will be demolished soon after the filming is finished, and the records of the film crew may be an eternal memory.

Of course, for Li Yi, he didn't really feel that much. After all, it was the memory of the older generation, not theirs.

However, although the crew is ready, and the layout of the scene has already begun, although it is said that it takes a lot of effort to restore the street scene of Wing Lee Street, and also add the street scene of Sham Shui Po, so that these traditional old shops can all open. , so the workload is not small, but Li Yi's movies have always been cheap, so it's nothing.

However, even if the crew is ready, it is still impossible to start shooting the movie immediately.

Because it is necessary to allow time for the actors to enter the role, such as Fang Zhisheng, who plays the role of a shoemaker in the film. Since he is a shoemaker, the craft of making shoes is a must. However, the professionalism of an old actor is not necessary. Li Yi took the initiative to mention it, so he went to find an old shoemaker who had been making shoes for many years to learn from him.

Because the styles of making shoes back then are different from those of today, it is not enough to just find a shoemaker, but to find a shoemaker from that era to learn from.

Not only that, because he plays a poor shoemaker in his 40s in the film, and his daily job is to make shoes and mend shoes.

Therefore, while learning to make shoes, you must also learn to mend shoes.

For this reason, Fang Zhisheng even set out with the [-]-year-old old shoemaker he found to make shoes and mend shoes for others.

In order to get into the role faster, Fang Zhisheng officially started his career as a shoemaker's apprentice after chatting with Meng Qiguang.

As for whether he will be recognized, Fang Zhisheng is full of confidence. The main reason is that he directly used the image in the movie, sloppy, gray hair, cheap underwear and autumn shirts with pilling, and so on.

He set up a stall with the old shoemaker, and many passers-by did not recognize him as Fang Zhisheng, the winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

It wasn't until a week later that the paparazzi discovered it.

At this time, Fang Zhisheng was able to start making shoes.

"He used to be an actor, but now he is a cobbler on the street! His image is sloppy, and he decays before he gets old!"

Because "The Thief of Time" did not announce the specific content, nor did it announce the cast, so many people don't know that Fang Zhisheng went to the street to learn skills from an old shoemaker in order to experience life and learn how to make shoes.

Plus his image is completely different from the past.

It is actually not uncommon for actors like Hong Kong Island to become street performers.

For this reason, the headline of that entertainment tabloid is very eye-catching.

After all, the number of film kings is not that many, and the film king has been reduced to a cobbler on the street, and his clothes are sloppy and his image is aging. No matter how you look at it, he is a LOSER!

Although Fang Zhisheng did not have countless fans like Chen Weijie and the others, he was still a celebrity after all. After being exposed by gossip magazines, he immediately attracted many fans and passers-by to watch.

It made business a lot better.

And Fang Zhisheng did not explain, still like a serious shoemaker, helping customers mend shoes, and helping the master to accept customers' shoes to order.

I took a lot of orders.

It's just that the actors are down and out, there must be traces to follow.

But Fang Zhisheng was still filming before, but now he suddenly fell into despair, and the media quickly began to report, suspecting that Fang Zhisheng should have gone to experience life for the movie.

Later, Fang Zhisheng admitted this in an interview with the media.

"Actually, I took over the new drama "The Thief of Time" directed by Li Yi. Because I played an old shoemaker in it, I came to be an apprentice. The master taught me very hard. Of course I have to learn hard. And I don't agree with some people who said Yes, why is it that being a shoemaker is down and out? There are fewer and fewer people who know this kind of craft, but it was hard for me to find a master who has been making shoes for decades." Fang Zhisheng smiled at the camera Said.

"So have you learned it now?" The reporter asked curiously.

"I already know how to make shoes. Of course, the craftsmanship cannot be compared with that of a master, but I can make high-heeled shoes, men's shoes, and children's shoes." Fang Zhisheng said with a smile.

Fang Zhisheng went to be an apprentice to learn shoemaking skills for filming, and was quickly reported by the media.

After all, on the one hand, this is indeed relatively novel news, on the other hand, it is also because Li Yi's "The Thief of Time" has already become a key project of the local media in Hong Kong Island.

Years later, the main actors of the crew of "The Thief of Time" all received a special gift from Fang Zhisheng, a pair of shoes made by him.

Including the director Li Yi has points!
