Chapter 269: Want to accept Wu Bai as a closed disciple
As Wu Bai interpreted the audition footage, everyone present had a deeper understanding of the script.
After that, the audition process for casting became smoother.
Some other supporting roles were finally finalized.
Tan Zhuo plays Liu Sihui.
Zhou Yi plays the role of Cao Bin.
Wang Jiajia plays Lu Yiyi’s wife.
······
Many traffic guys present who were not selected were very angry.
After all, the popularity of this movie has spread all over the country before filming even started.
The Medical Insurance Bureau is also in charge, so you are not afraid of being blocked.
Even with the great help of director Zhang Yimou, not being selected was simply a missed opportunity.
Almost all the roles chosen by Wu Bai were actors with little fame.
At this time, the live broadcast barrage was also flooded with fans of many traffic niches.
"Why didn't my brother Hu get chosen?"
"Yang Mi has already been rejected, so what else are you watching? Which drama does my Damimi do well?"
"What kind of casting is this? All the people chosen are people I don't know. Can they act well?"
All remarks came to an abrupt end when [the live broadcast ended].
At this time, Zhang Yimou also hesitated.
After all, every drama I film will have several well-known actors in it.
Even if the performance of the drama is not good, these fans will criticize the drama.
Except for the protagonist Xu Zheng, the other cast members are all actors who are not well-known in recent years.
Seeing that everyone was ready to call it a day, Zhang Yimou hesitated and patted Wu Bai.
"Is this role determined like this?"
Wu Bai expressed very modestly: "Does Director Zhang feel that something is not suitable enough?"
Zhang Yimou was a little hesitant, but he also said it. After all, he would also participate in the director of this drama.
"Why don't you choose one or two famous actors to come in? I'm worried..."
Before Zhang Yimou finished speaking, Wu Bai smiled and said: "Director Zhang, if you have any recommendations for actors who are more suitable for these roles, I would welcome them. But if you want to use traffic to mark the code, I disagree."
"In the process of creating an excellent movie, isn't the director's role to select actors who fit the role, give full play to their strengths, and better present the script?" Wu Bai asked sincerely.
Zhang Yimou was in a trance. He looked at Wu Bai and thought about what Wu Bai just said.
It reminds me of myself when I first entered the entertainment industry and wanted to become a director.
I just want to use my own strength to perform the work better.
Zhang Yimou patted Wu Bai with emotion: "Looking at you, I think of myself."
"Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, you are even better than me now." Zhang Yimou gave high praise.
"Thank you for the award!" Wu Bai always behaved very modestly.
Although there are mixed comments on the casting in major media.
However, most netizens are still paying close attention to the development of this plot.
Three days later.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" started shooting on the first day.
Chief Luo also saw comments on the Internet about the casting.
I couldn't help but start to feel a little worried again.
Is the role chosen by Wu Bai okay?
After all, this is my first time as a director.
Can Wu Bai really make this film well?
Don't let this drama fail just because you don't have the director's ability. It's a pity that this script is a waste.
······
Director Zhang Yimou is mainly responsible for the opening ceremony.
The first shot begins!
Close shot.
The entrance of an Indian oil store.
The main camera was focused on Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng.
Several other cameras circled around other angles, preparing to select lenses.
Wu Bai and Zhang Yimou sat on the director's chair and stared at the filming monitor.
Behind him, the staff of the Medical Insurance Bureau and many other celebrities who came to watch were all watching the performance in the camera.
At this time, Xu Zheng's face was full of despair, with a middle-aged and greasy look.
My life was very miserable, I couldn't sell my magic oil, and I had no money to pay the rent. My father was paralyzed and needed someone to take care of me, and my wife ran away with a rich man, so my life was in a mess.
Xu Zheng was half-leaning on his chair, a sad aura lingering in the entire screen.
"Ka! Pass!" Wu Bai spoke first.
The whole audience burst into thunderous applause in unison.
After all, this is the default rule.
The first line to start shooting must be shouted, which indicates that the whole drama will be complete.
Zhang Yimou smiled, thinking that this kid didn't understand the rules and was worried that he would be picky about the first one. Unexpectedly, he did some homework and came here.
It seems that you can rest assured in the future.
Zhang Yimou felt much relieved.
When Xu Zheng was taking a rest, Wu Bai walked up to Xu Zheng and said, "Brother Xu's performance is really good, but I think it's not desperate enough."
Wu Bai knew in his heart that he, who had never been a director, could not have any airs in front of the seniors here.
Otherwise, it is easy to cause resentment among other actors.
Therefore, Wu Bai prefers to discuss with the actors secretly instead of directly criticizing them by name.
After Xu Zheng heard this, he understood Wu Bai's good intentions.
"Then let's reshoot this scene again?" Xu Zheng asked.
Wu Bai smiled: "Let's get over this. We can discuss the plot together next time!"
The other actors around him all looked at Wu Bai.
This is the first time I heard a director take the initiative to discuss the plot with the actors, which is really nice.
In the past, it was the wish of many supporting actors that the director could concentrate more while filming.
All the actors present were very lucky to be chosen by Wu Bai this time.
Although I have seen a lot of comments on the scarf, I feel a little unsure.
In recent years, several popular niche actors have become so popular that they have dominated many film and television dramas and traffic.
Many actors have not taken roles for a long time.
Seeing Wu Bai's attitude towards actors, everyone felt that Wu Bai was a good and considerate director.
Afterwards, Wu Bai asked Xu Zheng, who was wearing a hood and makeup, to walk into the snack bar and asked not to be recognized by others.
Act like an ordinary person.
With Wu Bai's interpretation of some details, Xu Zheng's performance was very smooth this time.
After slowly walking into the snack bar, Xu Zheng sat down and ordered food like ordinary people.
After that, he followed the example of others and ate with big mouthfuls.
After the customers came out of the store and saw the cameras outside, they realized that there was a celebrity sitting inside.
"Yes, if you want to act like an ordinary person, you have to integrate into ordinary people's lives." Zhang Yimou once again expressed his admiration for Wu Bai,
How come you have so much experience at such a young age?
Wu Bai can always give himself so many surprises, no wonder he has so many fans.
Wu Bai always challenges himself in other fields.
If he hadn't wanted to try so many fields, I would have hired him to take over my directing class.
Zhang Yimou sighed again.
When can I find a disciple like Wu Bai?
He is meticulously observant and able to understand the ways of the world.
He has no airs and is so knowledgeable.
"I will have to consult with this guy Wu Bai more in the future!"
