The Republican era now implements a Hollywood casting method, that is, actors do not know what role they will try in the first round, they just introduce themselves and show off their skills and conversation; then the director, screenwriter, and producer Based on the actor's temperament, people give him several suitable character scene clips and ask him or her to perform them to see if they can match the character's temperament.
After this round, it is the actor's turn to learn about his audition role, and in turn prepare again... After several rounds, the actor who is most suitable for a certain role is selected.
Hollywood does this because of the Screen Actors Guild, which has tens of thousands of registered members and a well-established process. For a role, someone from an Oscar-winning actor to a newly registered part-time jobber will apply for it.
Republic Era wanted to imitate this kind of interview process, but due to the impact of the real environment, it was impossible to actually go through five or six rounds of interviews.
There are only four to five hundred actors with surnames in mainland China, and I don’t know how many are at the bottom, maybe hundreds of thousands of them. They have no agents, no companies, and don’t even have the financial ability to come to the Republic Era for interviews. There are no face conditions.
In fact, after the second round, although the actors are still waiting for notification of the next round of auditions, the director has already made their choice.
Fang Yi: "Then Liao Fan will play Lu Jianxing? He does look similar to Wang Qianyuan, but he is more evil. Lu Jianxing is a loyal and honest person. I don't know if he can play the role."
Lu Yang said: "I watched "Fei 2", Liao Fan played a sissy, and he took the role of Feng Yuanzheng..."
Fang Yi thought of a charming man with a buzzcut. "Jianguo?"
"Eh!"
"Hey, Liao Fan can still act like this?"
Lu Yang laughed and said: "So you are surprised, I am also surprised. I thought that if he plays the role of Address Book, then he should not go wrong playing Lu Jianxing. After all, we want people who can act, not those who are famous. of."
Then he said: "However, I have made a small change to the script. You can see if it is suitable."
"Um……"
Looking down, I saw a female student from Shanghai Opera School. She looked familiar. She was currently contracted with Yinxin Entertainment and was led by Zhenjie herself.
Reba.
She plays Zhou Miaotong.
Aren't you farting? Liu Zhenzhen, this is not how you approach relationships!
Fang Yi suppressed the fire in his heart, raised his head and asked Lu Yang: "What's going on with this corner? Did you choose it?"
"Yes, I chose it."
"After Zhou Miaotong became a loyal minister, he was persecuted by the Jin Yiwei and his family was destroyed. Later, he was exiled to Jiaofangsi to work as an official prostitute... Such a woman must look like a Han Chinese, or even someone from the Jiangnan area."
He pressed his finger on the portrait named Reba: "How can this be suitable? In which time and space, the late Ming Dynasty can still control the Western Regions?"
Lu Yang sneered: "We can change Zhou Miaotong's background and say she is Hu Ji or something. I think this is not a particularly important role. She can only take care of her own people..."
"Stop it!" Fang Yi stopped him, "Don't do this kind of thing again. It's all nonsense."
Fang Yi had read the script of "Xiuchundao" and discussed it with Lu Yang.
The ending of the film was originally a sad ending: after the villain met, Shen Lian wanted to avenge his dead brother, but found that he could not defeat Eunuch Zhao, so he left with unfulfilled hatred.
This ending was quite literary and did not sell well at the box office. After the two discussed it, they changed it to a more visual one.
Shen Lian and Eunuch Zhao were duel. Although they were far behind in martial arts, Shen Lian dragged Eunuch Zhao to death with his thick blood and waited for the opportunity to fight back. He said goodbye to Ding Xiu who came to help and rode off.
Go, but at this time, the other brother who died also came with him on horseback. In the sea of flowers, the three brothers went south together to enter the pass.
This ending is what Lu Yang said in the live broadcast room of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony before, "a tribute to the ending of director Yu Feihong's "Love After Life". The audience knows that the ending is sad, but they might as well take a better buffer.
垹
Moreover, the three brothers each have their own lines: "When we leave the capital, where do you want to go most?"
Among them, Shen Lian said: "Suzhou."
These lines fit the protagonist's personality because Zhou Miaotong was eventually placed in Suzhou.
If the actor Reba from Xinjiang Province were to play the role, Shen Lian's character would also have to change - this would be a completely foolish choice.
Lu Yang said honestly: "The reason why I gave in here and chose her is so that I can hire you as her boss. Director Fang, there is no Shen Lian who is more suitable than you in the world."
He was very sincere: "This is the first film other than you in the republican era. It's such a big deal... After thinking about it, I still have to take action from you."
It turned out to be like this. Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
There are so many people looking for him to act, but Fang Yi has no skills. He will have his own new film in the second half of the year.
Lu Yang: "I can wait until you have a schedule, or I can shoot all around you and let the others wait first."
Fang Yi: "I don't want to play tricks."
Lu Yang: "Is there really nothing you can do?"
"No."
"Okay, how about a guest role?" Lu Yang retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"Who?"
"Emperor." Afraid that Fang Yi would reject him in advance, Lu Yang spoke quickly, "I didn't do anything. I just sat in the position as a mascot. When I came to visit the class, I put on my costume and shot like this. Okay, it's done."
.”
Come on! I really can't refuse this anymore, it seems like I don't support Lu Yang's career.
After it was agreed, Lu Yang left the office, and Fang Yi remembered something and called the real sister:
"She is not suitable for the role of Zhou Miaotong."
The real sister was quite shocked: "Ah?"
"I made the agency independent for a long-term purpose. It's for the sake of the long term. Now that we are separated, and this kind of thing happens, what if we really merge it together? It would be like old sludge in a smelly water tank.
There is no living water... Don't blame Lu Yang, I said so, if you want to blame, blame me."
Bang!
hang up the phone.
Of course Sister Zhen didn't dare to blame the boss, especially since Fang Yi was obviously emotional.
It's just that she couldn't understand why she passed the interview. Director Lu Yang admired it very much, but she still failed?
"Have you ever offended Director Fang?" Sister Zhen asked.
"Impossible, I know him, but he doesn't know me." The one who replied was Hu Ji and Reba, who were eliminated by the big boss' order.
This Hu Ji was very aggrieved, her head was buzzing, her face had no expression, and she was frightened.
Sister Zhen: "I am Fang Yi's manager, and I know that he really hates his fandom. Did your former role as his station sister be exposed and let him target you?"
"Ah~ what should I do? I like the warm man Fang Yi, not the ruthless boss Fang!
!”
"In this way," Sister Zhen gave an idea, tapping Reba's shiny forehead, "You can find a new male star to follow in the future. What is that called? Your idol has collapsed. I suggest you hurry up.
Climb the wall."
"I don't!"
Fans are very persistent.
"Then when you come into contact with him in the future, remember not to show that you admire him. You'd better be more thorough and treat him as a stranger... He is liked by too many people, so he hates it when people like him. He and many people
It’s the other way around.”
"Then I show that I hate him from now on? But in fact, I admire him in my heart and have always admired him silently." The young fan found another way.
"Well~ you're good, you're starting to hit the road."
