A widower's entertainment

Chapter 137 [Choice of Actors] (Please subscribe)

Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

Lin Youcheng didn't know until later that Shanghai Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio had agreed to jointly produce "The Wind", and the final candidate to direct and shoot the film was director Xie Jin recommended by Shanghai Film Studio, and Xie Jin The director was already selecting actors, and after listening to some of his suggestions, he invited Tony Leung, the Academy Award-winning actor, to play Bai Xiaonian in "The Wind".

After Lin Youcheng completed the script of "The Wind", he immediately sent the script to Shanghai Film Studio.

Now Lin Youcheng is mainly writing the novel "My Captain, My Regiment". In fact, in Lin Youcheng's view, no matter what Gu Xiaomeng said, "The nation is at the point of survival, and we have no choice but to work hard regardless of our own safety." , or what Cannon Fodder Bu La said, "If Zhonghua is going to perish,...the four musts must be done first." These are undoubtedly the reasons why Zhonghua did not perish back then.

Just when Lin Youcheng was writing a new script, he received a reply from Shanghai Film Studio and a remittance form for the script fee.

This letter also contains a personal reply from Director Xie Jin.

Director Xie Jin was very surprised and satisfied with the script written by Lin Youcheng.

In fact, the script written by Lin Youcheng is not very different from the original work. Of course, because some scenes are still somewhat exposed in this era, they naturally need to be deleted and modified. Naturally, the scene like the scene where Li Ningyu was mentally violated was not necessary. If you can be completely naked, not only the actress will not agree, but the superiors will not agree either.

You must know that the film "Children of the Eight Banners" directed by Li Hanxiang was banned from being released for many years after the filming was completed due to some revealing scenes. You can imagine how strict the censorship of this scene was.

Of course, Lin Youcheng also knew very clearly that some punishment scenes were indispensable. This also required the director's shooting techniques and editing, how to make the audience feel the bloody and cruel process without seeing it. Scalp-tingling pain.

Lin Youcheng is naturally very optimistic about the filming of "The Wind" directed by director Xie Jin.

"Lu Xiaohe plays Wu Zhiguo."

Lin Youcheng thought about it in his mind, and realized that the whole image and temperament of Liu Luoguo, who had not yet played Liu Luoguo, was quite suitable for the cold and cold Wang Tianxiang.

As for Li Baotian, Lin Youcheng was surprised.

Now Li Baotian is not as famous as Liu Luoguo, but he is already making movies now. His acting skills are not bad, otherwise he would not have won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1988.

Lin Youcheng has made modifications to the script in terms of these details, but obviously it still depends on how director Xie Jin will shoot.

After all, when it comes down to it, the drama "The Wind" itself is a drama with a group of actors. The filming difficulty is not that great in this era. It mainly depends on the performances of a few of the most important actors.

"Li Baotian plays Wang Tianxiang?"

In Xie Jin's reply, he also expressed his great hope that the screenwriter Lin Youcheng would have time to visit the filming site. Now the crew of "The Wind" is already making preliminary preparations. In addition to confirming the actors, it is also the filming site. location selection.

Looking at the two actors chosen by director Xie Jin, Lin Youcheng did not feel that they were inappropriate. Wu Xiaohe was Liang Sanxi in "Garland Under the Mountain", and he was also a positive character. For that role, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor Award.

Bai Xiaonian's Liang Jiahui agreed.

Lin Youcheng didn't have much impression of the actor who played the role of Jin Shenghuo, but I guess it was director Xie Jin who found him.

As for the most important roles, they are Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng. "I didn't expect that Liu Xiaoqing would play Gu Xiaomeng and Pan Hong would play Li Ningyu in the end."

Lin Youcheng was not surprised when he saw these two important roles settled. After all, these two are now hot actresses.

In fact, director Xie Jin also considered Lin Youcheng's suggestion to let Chen Chong play Gu Xiaomeng, but at this time Chen Chong had already gone abroad, so it was naturally inappropriate, so Liu Xiaoqing was cast instead.

Although Lin Youcheng was a little surprised that Liu Xiaoqing played Gu Xiaomeng, who is younger than Pan Hong, after all, Liu Xiaoqing is also an actress who can play a girl at the age of 70. It is not surprising to play Gu Xiaomeng at this age, let alone Liu Xiaoqing. Later, she played the heroine of "Furong Town" and won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award.

Lin Youcheng didn't know, because Liu Xiaoqing also knew about his initial recommendation. She was not Gu Xiaomeng's first choice, which made Liu Xiaoqing feel unconvinced.

After all, Lin Youcheng first recommended Pan Hong, and then Chen Chong. By the time Liu Xiaoqing and Gong Xue had already retreated to the next best option, Liu Xiaoqing naturally felt dissatisfied and made up her mind. , wanted to prove himself, gritted his teeth and played the role of Gu Xiaomeng well.

This is another kind of excitement!

After all, Liu Xiaoqing has played countless strong female roles, so how could she give in?

Of course, Lin Youcheng doesn't know this now.

After seeing that Director Xie Jin said in the letter that he should go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Lin Youcheng was considering it.

Although he is not in a hurry to go there now, Lin Youcheng feels that he, the original author and screenwriter, can indeed go to the crew to watch the filming of the movie "The Wind".

Of course, the filming of the movie has not started yet, and it is only in the early stage of preparations. Although the shooting scene is not big and there are no war scenes, the story is about intelligence work, and the actors naturally need to be well prepared. , it’s impossible to shoot directly.

Especially for a famous Kun Opera actress like Bai Xiaonian, it is natural to give the actor a certain amount of time to learn Kun Opera.

The movie is expected to start shooting in July, which still requires a long period of preparation, not only for the actors, but also for the entire crew.

"Xiulian, I may have to go to Shanghai in July. Then I may have to trouble you to take care of the children at home."

When Jiang Xiulian heard Lin Youcheng's words, she naturally nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my cousins."

Lin Zhaomei, who was drawing on the ground, raised his head and asked, "Dad, what are you doing in Shanghai?"

"Dad, I wrote a script before and it's going to be made into a movie. Dad wants to see it."

As soon as Lin Zhaomei heard what Lin Youcheng said, she immediately ran to Lin Youcheng and said, "Dad, I want to go too!"

"Dad, I want to go watch a movie."

Faced with the caring little cotton-padded jacket's big-eyed coquettishness, Lin Youcheng couldn't refuse for a while. After all, the carrot head who wanted to be the most powerful female director was on summer vacation in July.
