"Besides, I have also considered it. Sisi is an artist of our company and a rare big name. It is really unreasonable for her own movies to be abandoned."
"Moreover, as an actor who has been active in TV dramas for a long time in the past, if she wants to further develop, she really should make more movies. As for outside scenes, we don't have time to help her find the ability to play well. So, before that,
Wouldn't it be good to act in your own movie first?" Zhang Feng talked eloquently, and his intention of choosing Sisi as one of the protagonists was quite clear.
If you wait ten years from now, this kind of cooperation will be your own cake, and other celebrities who want such an opportunity will still not be able to grab it!
The only regret is that Sisi could not be cast as the female lead, which is a bit unfair for her role.
Fortunately, Sisi didn't care.
At the same time, the female lead in this movie is indeed not suitable for Sisi. This is not only a problem of character creation, but also a limitation of the film's perspective.
Sometimes, some characters who are ranked behind the cast have quite a lot of roles in the entire movie, but they still cannot be ranked first. This is all because of the difference in the film's narrative perspective.
In some movies, the narrator is always the first protagonist, or in some movies involving crimes, the protagonists are always ranked higher than the villains.
Zhang Feng's new movie has exactly such a situation.
The first female actor is a lawyer and a representative of the positive side, so her ranking is naturally higher than that of the fake victim played by Sisi. This is determined by the plot of the film.
The heroines are actually relatively easy to solve. Zhang Feng is also working hard to find a suitable candidate and has already contacted her ideal actor.
The two parties had a very pleasant conversation, and the other party has expressed interest in starring in the role. It can be said that the female lead has been decided.
The trouble lies with this key male protagonist.
Although this is a movie that revolves around women, and the narrative perspective is also from the female lawyer, the male protagonist has the most roles.
Moreover, if this drama wants to be exciting, the male protagonist is the most important, because he has to pick up the drama.
It can be said that Zhang Feng and Mi Li reached a consensus on the day the script was formed.
The male protagonist is the most outstanding role in this movie. If he plays it well, he can really become a classic!
Then, this movie is finally finished!
"Protagonist?"
"Do you have a favorite candidate?"
Zhang Feng shook his head: "It's just because I don't have an ideal candidate that I want to ask you. I hope you can give me some inspiration."
Inspiration? Of course this is no problem.
Wu Di paused and then asked: "So, what kind of temperament do you need for the leading actor? If you ask me to recommend him, you have to give me some clues."
Since he is the leading actor, his acting skills must be good. This is for sure. Zhang Feng put a lot of effort into this drama.
The script took a long time to be polished, and a professional, Mi Li, was hired as a consultant. According to Zhang Feng, Mi Li also put a lot of effort into writing the script, and Mi Li should be included in the official signature.
For such a masterpiece of hard work, ordinary handsome guys will naturally not be able to do it. However, there are many acting schools. What kind of actor meets Zhang Feng's requirements?
Zhang Feng has naturally considered this issue repeatedly, and she has such a vague concept in her mind.
However, it's not clear yet.
She could only describe Wu Di based on her own imagination: "You have to be mature and have a little bit of both good and evil temperament."
"The main thing is to be able to control the situation. You know, it's just that kind of temperament, a little bit oppressive."
"I think he can't be too polite, he should be a bit older, around forty years old, or even older."
"After all, it's a movie, as long as it roughly looks like that, the shortcomings can be made up for by lighting and makeup."
"So this is what you need." Wu Di murmured.
Silently grasp the key words, both good and evil.
Regardless of age or type, they are actually just auxiliary conditions. The most important thing is to have this kind of temperament!
Temperament is very important, it is the talent of an actor.
It's like some actors don't have a very high level of education and have limited ink in their stomachs. However, as long as they stand on the stage, the audience can naturally feel that they are very knowledgeable.
There is a feeling of poetry and calligraphy in my belly.
This is the confusion that an actor's external image brings to the audience, and it is also an advantage. Vice versa, some actors may have a very high personal cultural level, and their private speech and behavior are also appropriate, but the image alone cannot give people this
an impression.
Then, when the actor appears in a film or television drama, the audience will still think that the actor is not suitable for the role, not suitable at all.
In other words, Zhang Feng needs actors who can show both good and evil qualities in front of the movie screen.
Who would you recommend?
To be honest, so far, Wu Di's connections in the entertainment industry are not very strong, and there are not many actors he is familiar with.
Uncle Pancake?
The senior I am most familiar with is probably Uncle Pancake. Unfortunately, there seems to be some difference in temperament.
I want Zhang Feng to reveal a little more information, but looking at her, it seems like she won't provide it anymore.
Wu Di also expressed his understanding.
Filmmaking is like this. Confidentiality is the most important thing. So what if it's the person you sleep with? Wu Di will not participate in this film, nor will he be a member of the crew.
Then, he has no right to know the plot of the movie in case the plot is leaked.
However, there is no script and plot here, and it is indeed difficult for Wu Di to make a correct judgment based only on this vague information.
"It seems that you don't have a suitable candidate either!"
"I have thought about it many times in the past few days. I have gone through many images of actors in my mind, and it seems that none of them are suitable."
"I really have no inspiration, so I came to you to discuss it."
"This shouldn't be the case!" An idea suddenly popped into Wu Di's mind, giving him an idea: "As far as I know, many screenwriters will have such a character in mind as a reference when writing scripts."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Generally speaking, the most convenient way is to find a suitable actor to imagine it. So, Director Zhang, who did you refer to when you originally created this character?
"
"Ah, speaking of this..." Zhang Feng was stuck, and his brain suddenly froze.
"I just shaped it according to my own ideas. I really didn't refer to any actor's image." After a while, Director Zhang told the truth.
Wu Di was also shocked.
All based on imagination?
Is this something that can actually happen?
The fact is, this is indeed feasible.
Unlike men, women are creatures who can live purely by imagination. For example, when writing a script, as long as it is a role that she has thought of, she can completely shape it according to her own ideas, so you can see that in many cases
The images written by female writers, especially the male protagonists, will be very beautiful.
That is naturally because they have projected all the male images in their rationality into their works.
Zhang Feng is also a woman, so she is not exempt from vulgarity.
"But when it comes to both good and evil, I do have a candidate!"
There is indeed such a person, not far away!
It’s someone we just collaborated with!
Impressive, absolutely suitable!
Zhang Feng shook his arm excitedly and asked, "Who is it?"
"Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
"Don't worry, I'll contact someone first to see if they have any schedule!"
The person Wu Di wanted to recommend was a very popular star, but he was reluctant to accept the film appointment. He wanted to let him take over Zhang Feng's new film immediately, but he might not have the time yet!
Wu Di was about to dial the phone, but Zhang Feng snatched it away.
"Is there anyone who does things like this?"
"I'm the director. I don't know the candidate yet, and I haven't agreed with it yet. You go and discuss it with the actor. What if you agree on it and I don't think it's suitable?"
"How are you going to tell your friends?"
"There's no way it's inappropriate!"
"Believe me, if you need someone who is both good and evil, then this actor is the perfect choice."
"Then you have to say the person's name too."
Under Zhang Feng's firm gaze, Wu Di had no choice but to lose.
"It's Brother Lightning."
"Do you think he is suitable?"
Brother Lightning?
For just a moment, Zhang Feng's head seemed to have been struck by lightning!
She is enlightened!
yes!
And Brother Lightning!
Why didn't she think of such a suitable candidate?
"Then why don't you hurry up?"
"What are you dawdling about?"
"Call quickly!"
Women are really magical animals. Just now, he bit her to death, as if Wu Di wanted to harm her, and now he is anxious again.
However, no matter what, the call still had to be made, and the call was connected as soon as it was called, which was really touching.
Originally, Wu Di was not a very sociable person, although it seemed to the outside world that Wu Di had a wide network of contacts and had great director resources at his fingertips.
But in fact, because of the pressure of being bound to the system, Wu Di was only responsible for livening up the atmosphere on the set, but he didn't like to have a close relationship with everyone.
Even fellow actors are the same. They rarely keep their contact information and always leave as soon as the filming is over.
It won't be too sincere.
Of course, there are some people with whom we have really good relationships, and Wu Di is also very interested, and he also took the initiative to leave his contact information.
Brother Lightning is one of them.
Although on the set of San Yan Er, Brother Lightning didn't like to talk too much, especially with a talkative guy like Wu Di, who was totally incompatible with each other.
Although the two of them didn't communicate much on the set, they couldn't help but admire Wu Di's admiration for Brother Lightning!
What a man!
There was once a dream that repeatedly lingered in Wu Di's heart, that is, to be a man who is full of anger!
Due to appearance restrictions, it was impossible for him in this life, but when he saw Brother Lightning, who was a pure man, he couldn't help but feel envious.
So, if you don't pay attention to me, I can pay attention to you, and he will still get the mobile phone number.
However, there has really been no contact recently. After a few words and two filmings, Brother Lightning quickly joined the crew of a TV series.
As for Wu Di, he also went to film Meng's Orphans.
Although Wu Di was very leisurely here and barely filmed a few decent scenes, it was different with Lightning Brother.
Since his debut, Brother Lightning has planned to develop both movies and TV series. Moreover, the TV series scripts he has access to are all very good.
You can also play the leading role. Of course, you can't miss this kind of script. In this way, Brother Lightning will be very busy for at least two or three months, with a huge amount of business.
A sensible person shouldn't bother him at this time.
But when it comes to Zhang Feng's new movie, Wu Di has no choice but to break the habit.
As soon as the call was connected, Brother Lightning's standard slightly deep voice came over. Although the call was answered quickly, that voice still gave people the impression that he was not very happy.
Wu Di immediately explained the reason and apologized several times, although it was not late at night in terms of time.
"Brother, don't worry. Although this movie is Director Zhang's new work, you are the first starring role. This is for sure."
In fact, if it were anyone else, Wu Di wouldn't have to be so humble and lobby hard, but this is Brother Lightning, and he can be regarded as an absolute first-line star now.
The films he accepts are all starring male protagonists, the roles are just new, and the pay is high. If it were Lao Zhang's film today that asked him to play the male lead, there would definitely be no need for such publicity.
I believe that with his friendship with Lao Zhang and a fiery male protagonist, he will agree without hesitation.
But today it’s not Lao Zhang but Xiao Zhang. The difference is huge.
Although Xiao Zhang's previous films had outstanding box office results and were considered blockbusters, at their core they were still romance films.
In terms of type, it doesn't quite match the temperament of Brother Lightning. What's more, Xiao Zhang doesn't have the same reputation as Old Zhang.
Who knows what her next movie will be like?
"Since it's a crime theme, I'm quite interested in it." After pondering for a moment, Brother Lightning finally answered.
"Okay, my TV series will be finished soon. Wait a few days and we can meet and discuss it in detail, okay?"
It seemed like he was asking for Wu Di's opinion, but in fact he was also asking Zhang Feng, because from what Wu Di said, the movie will probably start shooting soon.
The entire preparation stage is quite long. I wonder if Zhang Feng still has the patience to wait a few more days.
When the news came, Zhang Feng naturally agreed.
This is the chosen actor!
If Brother Lightning can be invited to star in this movie and play the leading role, this movie will be half successful!
There is no doubt that Brother Lightning's acting skills are absolutely outstanding, and crime themes are also what he is good at.
With him taking the lead, the quality of the entire movie is guaranteed.
Although Wu Di really wanted to continue introducing the outline of the movie to Brother Lightning, unfortunately, he didn't even know it himself, so how could he let Brother Lightning understand it?
Whether it's an interview, an interview is the best.
At this time, let Zhang Feng take action. Let her weigh her own scripts, those that can be revealed in advance and those that need to be kept secret for the time being.
Wu Di felt relaxed.
A week later...
When the agreed time came, at the Blue Island Cafe, Brother Lightning arrived as promised. It could even be said that he arrived early.
