my movie years

The first thing to be determined was the actors. Zhang Hao and Yang Lei auditioned together and finally selected Zhang Luyi to play Wang Miao, Chen Jin to play the elderly Ye Wenjie, and Wang Ziwen to play the young Ye Wenjie.

Damei Ran, who has collaborated with Zhang Hao in several films, was also selected to play the role of Shen Yufei.

Some other characters were basically controlled by Yang Lei. Zhang Hao did not interfere too much, but fully chose to respect them.

However, when it came to selecting Ding Yi, Zhang Hao rejected Wang Chuanjun proposed by Yang Lei because he had to consider "Ball Lightning", so he replaced him with Lei Datou.

Lei Datou is also an actor that Zhang Hao likes very much. Originally, he would not be able to play a supporting role like Ding Yi, who does not have many roles.

But one of them was kindly invited by Zhang Hao, and the other one also considered the opportunity of "Ball Lightning", so he agreed.

In fact, Da Mi Mi really wanted to participate in "The Three-Body Problem". She and Zhang Hao stalked each other, tried several new tricks, and were invited to play the role of Ye Wenjie.

But Zhang Hao didn't agree. After all, Wang Ziwen's actor contract was signed.

But Zhang Hao felt that if you were interested in Da Mi Mi, you might as well pay attention to the role of Cheng Xin.In some ways, Cheng Xin and Ye Wenjie are both the biggest sinners of earth's civilization.

Da Mi Mi had not read the original work. He only knew that Cheng Xin was a very important character, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

When I went to other crews to film, I also took away a collector's edition of the "Three-Body" novel that Liu gave to Zhang Hao.

However, it is unclear how much content can be read into the power of the big power, which has never been interested in science fiction novels.

Another important actor role is Shi Qiang.

Originally, according to the description in the original work, actors such as Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, and Wang Qianyuan were all suitable.But at this time, Yu Hewei heard the news from somewhere and volunteered.

"It's not Director Zhang. Look, I have always been a fan of "The Three-Body Problem". I like Da Shi very much and hope to play this role." Yu Hewei pestered Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao said helplessly: "Teacher Yu, your acting skills are good, but there is a big gap between your image and Da Shi!"

"That's not necessarily true. I think characters must be more similar in spirit than in form. Of course, it would be better to have both form and spirit.

I can audition with other people and you can see who performs better and then decide, okay? "

Seeing the pleading eyes of teacher Yu Hewei, Zhang Hao could not refuse, so he had to agree to let him participate in the audition.

However, he did not expect that during the audition, Zhang Hao's favorite Jiang Wen did not come. Jiang Wu and Wang Qianyuan were good at martial arts, but their IQs were not enough, and they were far from the great history that they thought was rough and fine.

On the contrary, Yu Hewei, although his appearance is not strong enough, his temperament really has the flavor of a great historian.

Zhang Hao weighed it up, chatted with Yang Lei, and finally decided that Yu Hewei would star in Da Shi.

Yu Hewei won the role and was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He stayed up late and read the first novel of "The Three-Body Problem" to understand the characters more thoroughly.

The main roles have been decided, and Zhang Hao would not choose to replace this cast in the movie.

The TV series immediately entered the preparation period. Yang Lei began to search for filming locations across the country, and the actors were also preparing for it.

Zhang Hao had other considerations. He flew to Los Angeles first and had a meeting with Warner Pictures.

Naturally, Warner Pictures executives have also heard about "The Three-Body Problem", a world-class science fiction masterpiece.When I heard that Zhang Hao was going to adapt the novel to the big screen, Warner Pictures immediately asked to get involved.

Zhang Hao came to Los Angeles to get Warner Pictures to join the team. With Warner Pictures' participation, "The Three-Body Problem" has directly become an international cooperation, and many Hollywood actors can also be successfully invited to participate.

Because they are deeply affected by the controversy of being gay and the wave of superhero movies is receding, many Hollywood stars and actors are now unable to get jobs.

Some actors who couldn't get work even acted in American TV series, which was unimaginable a few years ago.

I heard that Warner Pictures is collaborating on a big project with a world-renowned director, and many well-known Hollywood actors want to participate.

But when they heard that they were going to make a guest appearance in a TV series before filming a movie, everyone hesitated.If it were another person and another project, Hollywood stars would be disappointed.

But things are different now. This person is called Zhang Hao. Against a global backdrop, his last work "Interstellar" even took home $6.23 million at the box office.

Moreover, "Interstellar" is an original movie.As we all know, original movies have always been harder to sell than adapted movies, but Zhang Hao did it.

This time Zhang Hao is filming another work adapted from a world-renowned science fiction novel. Everyone thinks that Zhang Hao rarely misses.

Just filming a TV series, and it's a Chinese TV series, makes people a little hesitant.

However, there are so few opportunities in Hollywood these days, so Zhang Hao doesn't pay less.So with the attitude of giving it a try, someone actually took it up.

The first person to agree to cooperate with Zhang Hao was Heath Ledger. He became famous for his role in "The Dark Knight" directed by Zhang Hao and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Later, he starred in "Joker" in 2019 and won the Oscar.

Heath Ledger and Zhang Hao have always had a good relationship, and they didn't end up filming the movie.He is also a fan of "The Three-Body Problem", so it was natural for him to play the role of Evans.

This role is quite heavy. For this role, Heath Ledger planned to fly to China and live on the set to complete the filming.

The other one is British actor Idris Elba, who plays Colonel Stanton.

Speaking of this actor, everyone may be a little unfamiliar, but he played Heldam in Thor, so many Marvel fans must be familiar with it.

In addition, Mr. Michael Caine took the initiative to call Zhang Hao and expressed that he could play a role, so Zhang Hao arranged for him the role of an old professor.
These three are the more famous ones, and all the other foreign actors who participated in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" can be considered old acquaintances.

Including half-brother Dr. Heng also participated. He also participated in "The Wandering Earth 2" directed by Guo Fan.

When Yang Lei heard that international movie star Heath Ledger would actually participate in the filming of his TV series, he was dumbfounded and thought he had heard wrong.

After confirming it several times, I realized that Zhang Hao was serious.

So Yang Lei started to have insomnia again, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.He began to regret taking on this project, as it would be a big deal if he messed up.

Yang Lei's useless look made his wife irritated.

"Oh, if you think it won't work well, just resign as director and let Zhang Hao find someone else."

Yang Lei blushed and said hurriedly: "How is this possible? I have already promised Director Zhang, how can I give up halfway?"

"You said you can't give up halfway, so why are you still worrying about gains and losses? Having a good rest and doing a good job is the most important thing."

As soon as Yang Lei heard that it made sense, he stopped worrying and it was time to sleep.

In fact, not only Yang Lei was under great pressure, but other members of the crew were also under great pressure.After all, among the current Chinese-language film crews, except for Zhang Hao's team, few have experience working with Hollywood stars, and everyone is clueless.

Zhang Luyi was shocked when he heard that there were well-known Hollywood actors on the crew. There were many scenes with Colonel Stanton in his script.

He never thought he would have this opportunity to play opposite a Hollywood actor.

Even more shocked than Zhang Luyi were the two Ye Wenjies, because according to the script plan, they had many scenes opposite Evans.

Who plays Evans? It's the famous Heath Ledger, Oscar winner.

When I think about it, my blood pressure suddenly rises.

After the cast was revealed, not only the crew members and actors, but also media netizens were shocked. (End of chapter)
