Li He rarely comes home once. He is usually busy with work. His two children have grown up. Fortunately, he has the care of his sister Li Xiaonan and his mother Yang, otherwise the two little guys Lemon and Nian Gao would have no one to take care of them.
It was a rare occasion for my father to come home, and rice cakes were a bit unfamiliar. However, as a daughter, Lemon ran over with her short legs and hugged Li He's thigh, trying to climb up.
Li He picked up Lemon in his arms and waved to Nian Gao: "Son, come here..."
The rice cake was a little scared, so he put down the toffee in his hand and jumped into Li He's arms with Dahuang. Li He pushed Dahuang away in disgust, but Dahuang didn't care, and kept circling around the three of them, barking twice from time to time.
Li Xiaonan was preparing dinner in the kitchen. It was rare for her brother to come back today. She wanted to make a delicious meal to reward her brother. Li He put lemons and rice cakes on the sofa and let them watch cartoons. He walked to the kitchen and rubbed his sister's shoulders:
"Sister, thank you for your hard work, with three children."
Li Xiaonan smiled and said: "It's not hard, I'll be satisfied just seeing you happy."
Li He looked left and right: "Where is this girl Huijia?"
"I went out to play with my classmates, and this wild girl ran around every day." Li Huijia said with disdain.
Li He was very happy. He remembered that Li Huijia was still a very introverted little girl. Due to family reasons, she was bullied a lot when she was a child. But now she is much more cheerful and has made many new friends, but her academic performance is really average.
Fortunately, the little girl has a good talent for drawing. She dreams of becoming a cartoonist, and Li Hyuk also supports her. Maybe she will become a beautiful girl cartoonist by then.
Without a father, his uncle plays the role of a father, and he is very happy to see the little girl grow up healthily.
As for finding another stepfather, my sister has no such idea. Li He gave up after many attempts to persuade her to no avail. At least my sister still has her brother and her daughter Li Huijia.
During the meal, Li Xiaonan took care of the two naughty little guys and asked Li He: "When will Mi Mi come back?"
"Her drama will be finished in November, and she will also run a variety show." Li Hyuk replied.
"You two are busy enough. According to me, you have earned enough money. You should take a break. What should you do if you tire yourself out?" Sister rambled, and Li He had no choice but to listen.
My sister continued: "Anyway, when my nieces and nephews grow up, they won't be allowed to become celebrities like you. Look at the things these celebrities have done recently, it's scary to think about it."
Li He put down the bowl and chopsticks helplessly: "Sister, you just talk about others, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? I didn't do anything!"
"Of course I know this, but brother, please pay attention to me, and power, both of you must pay attention, and you can't do anything illegal." Li Xiaonan said.
Li He shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Mi Mi and I are good citizens who abide by the law."
After receiving some patriotic education from his sister, Li He continued to work the next day. Regarding the 108 project, Huali Film and Television had communicated with Li He several times.
Li Hyuk also read the final version of the script, and it was indeed very good. Pan Li also asked Li Hyuk if he wanted to play the male lead. After thinking about it, Li Hyuk refused because the schedule was tight, and he did not fit in with the character's image.
Although I can make up for it with my acting skills, I still feel awkward. At best, I will just make a cameo when the time comes.
This casting is actually quite difficult. The prototype of the male lead, Master Suquan, is a male-female looking monk who is born with the appearance of a Bodhisattva. This kind of male-female appearance is not some sissy in the entertainment industry, but a kind of
A solemn gesture of charity.
During the preparations for the film "One Hundred and Eight" this time, Li He also met this eminent monk. If Chinese Buddhism had such eminent monks, there wouldn't be so much negative news.
The other actors were easy to decide. There are already many talented actors who have joined this project. In order to repay the favor, a lot of popular actors have also been added. However, they are all minor supporting roles, which are harmless. The only problem is the selection of Master Suquan.
Actors with good acting skills also need to be male-female and not too young. The selection range is really small. For this reason, Huali Film and Power Studio also held auditions just to select male actors.
The investment in this film is also huge. Huali Film and Television Power Studio, plus Penguin Pictures and seven or eight other investors, the total investment has reached 300 million. Pan Li was afraid that Kong Jiahuan would not be able to take charge of such a project alone, so she deliberately
After visiting the thatched cottage three times, I invited Ning Hao to co-direct this project.
Ning Hao gives people the impression that he is a comedy director, but in fact Ning Hao also has serious films, such as "No Man's Land" which has been banned for four years. Ning Hao watched "One Hundred and Eight"
Pan Li's request was that he had the right to modify the script and select actors.
After some thought, Pan Li agreed, so Ning Hao officially took over the director's position, and then found several screenwriters who often collaborated with Kong Jiahuan to revise the script several times from beginning to end.
In Kong Jiahuan's script, the protagonists are all several families, and the important character Master Suquan is a supporting role. If it were filmed, he would only appear for less than thirty minutes. After Ning Hao took over, he directly set Master Suquan as the male protagonist, and then
Use this to re-create the script.
This must be a wonderful ensemble movie. Although Ning Hao has made many comedies, he is quite strict about such serious subjects. For this reason, he even rejected Huang Bo's request to play the leading role because
His presence in the movie would be offensive to the audience.
When Huang Bo and Li He were talking on the phone, they even complained, saying that Ning Hao had become possessed and reached the point of being picky. Li He also felt the same, because his request for a guest appearance was also rejected by director Ning because he was too handsome.
At that time, Li Hyuk had a question mark. It turns out that he worked hard to make connections to achieve this project, but was kicked out in the end? However, Li Hyuk also expressed his understanding. No one wants such a subject to be poorly filmed, and he will be scolded by the people across the country.
of.
Fortunately, Li Hyuk and Da Mi Mi are both producers, so they can be considered indirectly involved in this project.
Another advantage of Ning Hao's joining is that the team he brought has greatly expanded the preliminary preparation work. In order to understand the situation at that time, Ning Hao's team interviewed survivors of the 2008 earthquake and also talked with 108
The mother of two children learned about the situation at that time and interviewed the hospital director, nurse, obstetrician, etc., and the accumulated material resulted in more than 200,000 words of text.
Everything was being done to ensure that the film would be shot well, and preparations were ongoing. When "The Ancient City" was completed in a studio in Shunyi, "One Hundred and Eight" was officially announced as a project, and the cast was also announced.
candidate.
This film project has attracted the attention of the media and the public. Next year will be its tenth anniversary, so a film like this is bound to attract a lot of attention.
