After filming "Zhou Yu's Train", Lin Zhimo returned to Yanjing and began to arrange the shooting details of the film, such as the preparation of the crew, the rental of shooting locations and the recruitment of actors.

No matter domestic directors or foreign directors, TV drama directors or movie directors, famous directors or unknown directors, each director has his own back-up actor pool, in which there are both long-established big-name stars and extraordinary talents. But there are unknown cost-effective actors, and there are also popular young students who have just fledgling.

Whenever a director starts to prepare a new play, he will first look for suitable actors from the actor pool, and if there are no actors there, he will start a large-scale interview.And some actors such as extras are the jobs of full-time assistant directors, because in the chief director's mind, those extras are no different from the props prepared by a prop master.

In fact, you can also see that, except in Qidian's novels, in reality, there is not a single big-name actor in mainland China who came from a background.Because the chief director needs to care about too many things, he will not pay attention to whether a "humanoid prop" that just flashes in front of the camera has extraordinary acting skills, even if he wants to see it, he will not be able to see it.

But because many Hong Kong actors who are so popular in Asia and even famous internationally are born as actors, it gives everyone the illusion that being a role is very promising and can become a superstar like Jackie Chan and Liang Chaowei.

However, that is only in Xiangjiang.And it was Xiangjiang two or 30 years ago!

This experience is completely inapplicable to the mainland, and even the actors who played in Xiangjiang at that time had backgrounds.They are either from TVB acting classes or trainees of other big companies. In short, there is an organization behind them that can provide acting opportunities.

But what about the extras in the mainland?You are completely alone, you have neither contacts nor opportunities, and when you are acting, you are wearing shabby clothes, no makeup on your face, and some directors even ask you not to show expressions.In this case, even if you have Oscar-worthy acting skills, can you be better than the protagonist when a film and television work only gives you a fleeting shot?

Maybe you can manage to get the director's attention.But it is more likely to be scolded by the director.Because you stole the lead actor's limelight.

The topic is far away, those things have nothing to do with Lin Zhimo now, he is just a fledgling rookie director, and he doesn't even have his own director team.Not to mention having its own actor library.

Because of Gong Li's joining.The soul of the film is already there.Now what Lin Zhimo needs to look for is some small supporting roles, such as the actor of An Jiahe's younger brother An Jiamu, the actor of journalist Ye Dou, etc.

Lin Zhimo didn't have high demands on An Jiamu and Ye Dou.It only needs that one of them has a righteous face and the other has an ordinary appearance. Of course, the acting skills must meet Lin Zhimo's standards, otherwise Lin Zhimo needs to set aside time to teach the two of them during the filming process.

For the first film he directed, Lin Zhimo didn't want to make a lot of fanfare, lest a large number of people would jump out and criticize him, so Lin Zhimo chose the most common and most confidential actor Selection method - recommended.

Lin Zhimo told his good friends that he needed two supporting actors, and asked them to help recommend several candidates, and then choose the two best from the people they recommended.

It has to be said that Lin Zhimo's method is very covert. After just one week, Lin Zhimo received dozens of recommendations, but he didn't leak the slightest word.

Lin Zhimo chose the meeting room of his company as the interview location.

"Huh... Today is already the fifth day?" Lin Zhimo sat on the chair and let out a long breath and asked Huo Xiwen beside him.

"Well, we have interviewed 59 actors in the previous four days. If we haven't found a suitable actor today, then we have to expand the scope of the public interview." Huo Xiwen directly stated the data without the slightest hesitation, and then Then he said: "Zhimo, are you a little too strict in your selection? Some actors look good to me. They look handsome and have good acting skills. Why don't you like them?"

"Sister Wen, being handsome is not a requirement for me. My requirement for An Jiamu is that he must be upright, so that people can feel that this person is reliable at first glance. Of course, it is better if he is handsome; and for Ye Dou. It's just ordinary, the more ordinary the better, preferably the kind that can't be found in the crowd." Lin Zhimo explained his request to Huo Xiwen again in detail.

This time Lin Zhimo arranged for Huo Xiwen to be the producer of the film.

Huo Xiwen rolled his eyes at Lin Zhimo and said, "The actors like An Jiamu you mentioned are easy to find, but Ye Dou, I think you've given up on looking for ordinary-looking people in the entertainment industry?"

Huo Xiwen's words are also reasonable. The actors in the entertainment industry can be said to be handsome men and beautiful women.There are also ordinary-looking actors, but most of those actors are special actors with acting skills and strength but not well-known. Lin Zhimo's choice of actors this time was recommended by friends.Who are Lin Zhimo's friends?Which one is not the first-line star in the entertainment industry now, and how can those first-line stars be recommended to Lin Zhimo special actors?

That's why Huo Xiwen made Lin Zhimo die.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't think carefully." Lin Zhimo also felt that his thinking was a bit off, "Forget it, let's take a look at today's actors first."

After signaling to the staff, actors began to enter the stage one after another.

"Hello, Director Lin, my name is Huang Haibo, and I am currently a senior student at the China Film Academy. I have participated in director Kang Honglei's 'The Years of Burning Passion'..." Standing in front of Lin Zhimo was a short-eyed Not so young.

Lin Zhimo's eyes lit up the first time he saw him, and then he looked at Huo Xiwen.

Huo Xiwen was also very surprised, they were not very clear about who could come and who couldn't come today.After all, it was recommended by friends.

Huo Xiwen also saw Lin Zhimo looking at him, and the meaning was very clear: Look, have you found the actor who plays Ye Dou?

Lin Zhimo waited for Huang Haibo to introduce himself and said: "Okay, Haibo, you can act out this scene for me now. You are a photographer, and you noticed that there was domestic violence in the family opposite your house, and you Very angry about it but helpless.”

Huang Haibo heard the words and said: "Can you give me a few minutes, I need to brew some feelings."

"Of course." Lin Zhimo made a gesture of letting go.

Huang Haibo closed his eyes and carefully imagined the scene at that time. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes opened. After about 2 minutes.He said to Lin Zhimo, "Okay. We can start now."

Lin Zhimo nodded, crossed his hands and fingers on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Huang Haibo with piercing eyes.

Although Lin Zhimo didn't say anything.But his serious posture still gave Huang Haibo a psychological pressure.He took a deep breath and forced himself not to look at Lin Zhimo.Try to immerse yourself in the situation described by Lin Zhimo just now.

I saw that he looked lazy and relaxed at first, but suddenly he was startled, and his mouth opened slightly.There was an unbelievable light in his eyes, and then he quickly took two steps forward, holding his hands in front of his chest as if adjusting the camera, then a look of pain flashed across his face, and his hands kept moving Scratching his pants, his legs were about to move, and his whole body gave off a very tangled feeling.

Lin Zhimo secretly praised, applauded lightly, and said with a smile: "The performance is very good, please leave your contact information, someone will contact you later."

Huang Haibo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and kept asking: "Really, director, I passed?"

Lin Zhimo joked: "If there is anyone named Huang Haibo here besides you, then I made a mistake."

Huang Haibo smiled embarrassedly, then walked to Lin Zhimo's desk and left his contact information, and finally bowed to Lin Zhimo and said, "Thank you, Director Lin, thank you for giving me This opportunity!"

Lin Zhimo stood up and patted Huang Haibo on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to thank me, I won't be soft if you don't perform well in filming."

Huang Haibo said seriously: "Director, don't worry, I will never give you a chance."

Lin Zhimo laughed: "Okay, I look forward to your performance! Go outside and inform the next actor."

Seeing Huang Haibo stepping out on the clouds, Huo Xiwen joked, "I never thought you, director Lin Zhimo, would have today."

What Huo Xiwen was talking about was that at such a young age, Lin Zhimo was able to make Huang Haibo, an actor even older than him, respect him so much.

Lin Zhimo smiled first, then shook his head and sighed: "This is the real entertainment industry..."

Huo Xiwen was about to speak when the next actor came in, so he quickly shut his mouth.

After interviewing several candidates in a row, Lin Zhimo still felt dissatisfied. Before the next actor came in, he smiled wryly at Huo Xiwen: "It seems that we have nothing to gain today."

Huo Xiwen also nodded, and then said with a smile: "But it's good to be able to find Huang Haibo."

Lin Zhimo nodded: "Yes, it would be great to find Ye Dou."

While the two were talking, an actor entered again. He was tall and handsome, and he looked heroic and at the same time gave off a very stable feeling.

Lin Zhimo didn't find any advantages just looking at his appearance. He said that he was handsome and had interviewed many actors who were more handsome than him, and said that he was not handsome, but he was much better than Huang Haibo.

"Hello, Director Lin, hello, Producer Huo, I am Deng Chao, an actor from Chinese opera, I have participated in the repertory troupe..." Deng Chao recounted his experience in a neither humble nor haughty manner. His acting experience is not much, He only starred in a TV series that has not yet been released, and he has more experience in participating in dramas.

However, compared to TV and movie actors, drama actors always have a bit more contrived posture, but even though he thought so in his heart, Lin Zhimo still said: "I have a scene here, you can act it out for me..." To be continued..)
