During the interview, the reporter asked Lu Chuan: "Director Lu, when did you come up with the idea of filming "Southern Shock! Southern Shock!"?"
Lu Chuan replied: "This movie actually took shape as early as 2006."
"It's just that I've been afraid of messing up the movie and erasing the historical depth of the Nanjing Massacre, so I'm ready now."
"During this period, in order to show the authenticity of that period of history, I spent more than 30 million yuan to restore the ruins of Nanjing."
"To this end, I also built a 'sound experimental field' specifically to simulate the sound of gunshots. I just want history to reappear in front of us and make everything look like reality."
Speaking of which, Lu Chuan showed the aerial view of the Nanjing ruins.
The reporter sighed: "Just one glance makes people shudder. Director Lu is very attentive."
"So, you repeatedly emphasize authenticity, for what purpose, just to let the audience see the horror of the massacre?"
Lu Chuan shook his head: "Of course not. I think filmmakers, especially Chinese filmmakers, must take on the role of promoting Chinese culture."
"We can't be like some directors who seem to have obtained Chinese nationality, but their hearts are directed toward foreign countries, advocating for foreigners, and not having any consciousness of promoting Chinese culture."
The reporter hurriedly asked: "Can I consider some of the directors you mentioned to be Director Karasawa?"
Lu Chuan was noncommittal and said: "I don't want to say who it is, I'm just expressing."
"Some people say that movies are just entertainment products, and only popular entertainment movies can be successful."
"But I think that once a movie carries the weight of history, it will be recognized by the audience and engraved by time."
"Here, I want to say that if you think what I said is wrong, I will let you see what is a good Chinese movie."
The reporter was excited. Is this a declaration of war?
At present, how many directors dare to openly declare war on Tangze?
This Lu Chuan is really stupid. If you make good use of it, it may also be a hot spot for walking.
Lu Chuan had no scruples. After expressing his opinions, he began to advertise his movie:
"Finally, I would like to thank actor Liu Ye and actor Gao Yuanyuan for being willing to play the role in this movie."
"If anyone else wants to join us, they can come to our crew to audition. Together, we can restore history and shoot the most meaningful movie."
The interview ends here.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Chuan is at odds with Tang Ze again.
All they can say is that they are all young people who love to compete.
But obviously, most people are not optimistic about Lu Chuan.
Thinking about what happened to Bo Na in several movies after offending Tang Ze, Lu Chuan is really brave.
In particular, the title of Lu Chuan's movie sounds like an art film, unless Tang Ze also makes art films.
Otherwise, Karasawa would not be able to lose even if he wanted to.
Therefore, after Lu Chuan spoke, many media published disparaging remarks about him, thinking that he was unwise.
Since you want to carry the weight of history, why do you want to shout about Tang Ze from the side? Can't you just shoot in silence?
Some people analyzed the purpose of Lu Chuan's behavior, which was to gain popularity and expose "Nan Jing! Nan Jing!"
After all, everyone loves to hear about the battle between the two heroes.
As long as Tang Ze responds, there will definitely be many people watching.
It's a pity that Tang Ze didn't care about Lu Chuan and didn't even show his face.
The media felt pity and could only shake their heads for Lu Chuan.
Tang Ze probably never regarded him as his opponent, so it would be difficult for this "Southern Shock! Southern Shock!" to make waves.
But in fact, there are many people who support Lu Chuan in reality.
Maybe it’s because I’ve read Lu Chuan’s script, or maybe it’s a spontaneous act by fans of literary and artistic films. Occasionally, I agree with Lu Chuan’s words in interviews.
Among them is Jia Zhangke.
He also directly named Tang Ze's name, clearly expressing his appreciation and hoping that Tang Ze would not waste his talents and do something meaningful and within his ability.
But no matter how supportive you are of Lu Chuan, you are still speaking to Tang Ze.
Karasawa didn't even pay attention to it, but focused on casting matters.
What he didn't expect was that many top-notch young actors grew beards on their own in order to get the role of Ho En.
Therefore, at a glance, Tangze seemed to be all carved from the same mold, with the same big beard.
It seems that they no longer care about their appearance and image, and each of them has become rough.
Tangze took out a document and called Tianze's security: "According to this list and comparing the photos, those who do not meet the conditions will be asked to leave."
The security guard responded and went to perform the task.
The form is actually a questionnaire for them to fill out before auditioning.
For example, whether you are willing to join Tianze, whether you will accept strict training from the director, as well as some basic actor questions, character analysis answers, etc.
In short, screen out those who fish in troubled waters, those who lack acting skills, and those who have opinions about Tianze.
The rest are all young actors who are somewhat famous today, and with the exception of Zhang Hanyu, there are some tepid middle-aged actors.
Among the young actors, they include Liu Ye, who was supposed to star in "Southern Shock! Southern Shock!", and Huang Xiaohuan, who was blacklisted by Tang Ze.
Of course, with a contract company, signing Tianze is not a necessary part. Everything depends on the actor's decision-making.
Following the actions of the security guards and seeing their colleagues being chased away one after another, the other actors' hearts began to twitch, fearing that they would become one of them.
Karasawa's audition was more stringent than most directors, which made them a little in awe of this young director.
But those top players who are powerful and popular are much calmer, thinking that they will never be eliminated.
After a while, they saw that Huang Xiaohuan was said to be unqualified by the security guard and lost the audition opportunity.
Huang Xiaohuan blurted out: "How is it possible? How could I fail? I answered all the questions! Are you, Tianze, an insider? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Xiaozhen saw Tang Ze's cold eyes over there.
He shuddered subconsciously and did not dare to say any more words of dissatisfaction.
Amidst the whispers of the actors, Huang Xiaohuan clenched his fists and left the audition in dejection.
Before leaving, he vaguely guessed the reason why he was driven away.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ze remembered the small disagreement a few months ago now.
He regretted not apologizing to Tangze, but it seemed too late to apologize now...
In the end, he comforted himself that if he couldn't make it, he couldn't make it. Anyway, with his reputation, he had no shortage of movies to make.
After Huang Xiaohuan left, the atmosphere at the audition venue did not become quiet.
Even the top performers would be kicked out, which made the actors feel more at ease. They felt that Tianze's selection was fair and there should be no unofficial decisions.
Later, the security ended the screening, and the actors will face Karasawa's audition.
It's a pity that some middle-aged actors meet the requirements, but none of them are particularly satisfactory to Tang Ze.
On the way to the next audition, Chen Kun, who knew the truth about Huang Xiaohuan's elimination, was extremely glad that he stayed.
This is the entertainment industry, everyone has to be careful.
If you make a wrong step, you may lose your chance to succeed.
Without those uncertain factors, the next step is to show off your acting skills.
Chen Kun believes in his own strength and he will leave a good impression on Tang Ze.
The requirements for Karasawa's audition are very simple. Actors who can put aside the burdens of image, fame, youthful vitality, etc. can pass the first test.
This requires that young actors do not need to play a completely similar middle-aged person, but their temperament must not be like that of a young person.
This is very difficult. In just the first pass, 90% of the actors were eliminated.
Only a few middle-aged actors such as Chen Kun, Liu Ye, Shen Teng and Zhang Hanyu are left.
It is difficult for popular artists such as Huo Jianxi and Hu Ge, who was discharged from hospital soon, to get rid of that kind of vitality.
And Shen Teng's acting skills still need to be honed. Those middle-aged actors who have passed the acting skills are really not famous, and it is difficult to bring box office appeal to the movie.
After comprehensive consideration, Tang Ze could only pass the emotional performance test in a hurry, eliminating Liu Ye, Shen Teng, and several middle-aged actors.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Ye knew about the conflict between Tang Ze and Lu Chuan, and emphasized during the audition that he had withdrawn from the role in "Southern Shock! Southern Shock!"
But Tang Ze still eliminated him because Chen Kun looked more modest than him.
In the end, He En was played by Chen Kun, and the role of Lan Bo was given to Zhang Hanyu.
He was very satisfied with Zhang Hanyu's performance, but even if Chen Kun grew a beard, Tang Ze still felt that he and Zhang Hanyu were not compatible.
If Tangze wants to win an award, I'm afraid it will be harder and he will have to work harder on training actors.
It wasn't until Jiang Wen called him to save face that Tang Ze shook his head in surprise.
Ho Eun's acting career has been confirmed.
After all, movies are not entirely a game of fame, but also of human relationships.
He invited veteran actors and actresses who were hard to find everywhere, and Jiang Wen came just by talking.
Next, it’s time for Xiao Xianrou to compete with the old drama bones.
