The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 240 Unexpected arrival
At 2003 o'clock in the morning on April 4, 30, the sun in Yucheng was warm and the breeze was gentle. It was a good day for traveling.

But in the JB area, it is extraordinarily quiet.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and it doesn't look like the May Day holiday is here at all.

Not long ago, a patient infected with SARS was found nearby.

Now the entire area is under management. According to the meaning above, the common people stay at home for a week, and after confirming that there is no problem, they will resume sequentially.

Faced with such a situation, the big guy has no choice but to accept the arrangement.

After all, Yangcheng has been in charge for several months, and it's only been a week. Compared with the brothers and sisters in Yangcheng, they are already much better.

In a suite at Binjiang Hotel, Li Shengyao put down his phone with a serious face.

When SARS broke out in his previous life, he was in school, and he was not allowed to go out at that time, and he recovered after a week.

He believes that the JB area will be restored soon, but their crew originally planned to start the film today, but now they can only postpone it.

There were also a few old people in the crew who suggested to Lee Sheng Yew to pick a good day again, they thought it was not a good omen.

Li Shengyao directly refused, when to unblock, when to turn on, they race against time, there is no time to delay on such things.

He just called Wu Wenhui and asked him to announce the situation of the crew in Yanjing. At the same time, Fenghua Film and Television Company donated 100 million to help Guo Jia fight against SARS.

There was also a case in Yanjing. Wu Wenhui was calm and dealt with it quickly, which made Li Shengyao feel at ease
Then he came to the window.

Yucheng is a mountain city, and there are cyberpunk-like buildings here.

There is a towering building in front of the sky, and there are more than [-] floors, but it looks like a flat building, giving people a very fantastic feeling.

In that tall building, there were many people, many people were trapped in the hotel just like Li Shengyao and the others.

From a distance, Li Shengyao saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other, seeming to be arguing.

He paused slightly, thinking of the young people in the crew.

Hu Ge and the others are all in their early twenties. This age is just the time to escape. They are trapped in one place, and it is indeed easy to cause trouble.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and then went out. He planned to take Hu Ge and others to study the script, lest these young people get bored and mess around in the hotel.

The actors of the Fifth Elementary School have been confirmed, they are Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Wang Kai, Bai Baihe and Sun Yizhou.

There is another important young man, that is, the role of the Korean version of Paula, which is given to Wan Qian to play.

Sun Yizhou is a young man they poached not long ago, playing the role of the Korean version of Donglong.

The other actors of the five little ones are Cui Ze as Hu Ge, Zheng Huan as Yuan Hong, Sun Woo as Wang Kai, and Bai Baihe as Deshan.

Of course, these names are all very peninsula-style, and their names in the mainland version will be taken separately.

The script had been given to these people a long time ago. When Li Shengyao was in Beijing, he had chatted with them a long time ago and watched some clips of their performance.

It may not necessarily be a bad thing to postpone the shooting for seven days now.

Give these young people more buffer time.

Not long after, he saw Wu Xiaozhi and Wan Qian in a small meeting room in the hotel. The six of them were sitting together studying the script.

This situation is better than Lee Sheng Yew expected, and this attitude is acceptable.

When Hu Ge and the others saw Li Shengyao, they hurriedly stood up and said hello.

Li Shengyao waved his hand, "You're welcome, sit down. I'm here this time to check on your situation. This time I may have to stay in the hotel for a week. Since we can't go out for the time being, let's continue to prepare in the hotel."

"You don't have to worry about whether you will be infected with SARS. The protection outside is very strict, and there are only a handful of cases in Yucheng."

He then pulled a chair and sat down, then took the script, "Come on, let me see your strength."

Hu Ge and the others are students majoring in acting, so naturally they don't suffer from stage fright, on the contrary, they are a little excited.

After all, they are young people, and they all want to express themselves, not to mention that the person who will be tested is Li Dao.

Then the six young people performed in front of Li Shengyao, some were solo plays, and some were performances with other people.

Li Shengyao watched quietly. Generally speaking, these six people were all average, without any outstanding talent, but the lower limit was much higher than that of Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.

And they are all relatively diligent, and there is still no problem playing "Please Answer 1988".

But of course he won't point it out directly.

It will take several days to start the machine. We need to suppress them and give them some goals to prevent them from being complacent.

So Li Shengyao has been very quiet, he didn't have too many opinions, just nodded, or made a sound.

Hu Ge and the others didn't know the situation, and thought that Li Shengyao was not satisfied with his performance.

After all, director Li Da is famous for his strict requirements when making TV dramas.

It was not until lunch time that Li Shengyao stood up, pointed out some problems that several people had just performed, and then said that today is over, they will study by themselves in the afternoon and evening, and he will come to check tomorrow morning.

It is very simple to find fault, what he said is well-founded, and Hu Ge and the others really listened to it.

After a while, Li Shengyao strode away.

Wan Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "The director's requirements are so strict, I'm really afraid I won't be able to complete it."

Hu Ge and the others nodded, and they were all a little worried that their performance would not be good tomorrow, and they would be criticized by then.

"If not, let's ask the teachers."

In this drama, apart from several young people, there are also a group of old actors playing their parents. These people are carefully selected by Lee Sung Yew and the assistant directors, and there is absolutely no problem with their acting skills.

This proposal was immediately approved by others.

Two hours later, Li Shengyao got the news, and the assistant gave a thumbs up, "Director, you are really good. After your assessment, these young people will immediately become motivated. These seven days may make their With the explosive growth of acting skills, the quality of this drama will definitely be higher."

Where will there be any explosive growth.

These people are not Zhang Manyu, who can suddenly open up.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, they acted for more than 20 or [-] years, and they were still at that level.

Li Shengyao ignored the assistant's flattery. He thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, you can contact the hotel manager. I hope they can arrange the food for us properly. Money is not a problem, try to make it as generous as possible."

"clear."

"I'm going to have a chat with the factory workers in the afternoon. Then you can see if you can buy cigarettes and come with me."

Young actors need to find things for them to do, and field workers need to appease them.

Li Shengyao hoped that these few days would pass smoothly, so he went to the field workers in the afternoon, and the assistant director chatted with them.

Learn about everyone's needs.

In short, we must go through this period of embargo safely and smoothly, and then take out the best state to shoot.
