After the meeting, Wang Zhongjun and all the directors went to do their own business and made an appointment to have lunch at noon.
Tang An took back all the scripts and left one copy for Chen Guohua. The production department wanted to take it to Optoelectronics for filing.
Changing to a small conference room, Tang An had people call in all the actors he wanted.
Now only Tang An and their actors were left in the conference room, and everyone knew that Tang An was going to choose actors from among them.
They couldn't take their eyes off the movements of Tang An's hands!
Tang An ignored them. He slowly spread out several scripts in front of him, and then took out several documents of different thicknesses from his bag.
This is the outline of the script, characters, and background of each character!
Under their scorching gazes, Tang An placed each actor's script on top of the movie script in turn.
Tang An put one hand on the table, leaned on the chair and leaned slightly towards them.
"Everyone should know me, so I won't introduce myself anymore!"
"I understand everyone, let's get down to business!"
Everyone probably knows Tang An's style. When he was selecting actors for "Super Body" last time, he even met them and decided on a few people from a pile of information.
The only one who wasn't nervous was probably Li Binbin, and Zou Xun was also quite calm.
Wang Xiaoming, Su Youpeng, Zhang Hanyu, Liao Fan and others had the word "uneasy" written on their faces.
Tang An looked at them with a smile and handed out the scripts one by one.
Looking at the thickness of the script in their hands, some people are happy and some are sad.
The crews of Li Binbin and Zou Xun look similar. Among the male actors, Zhang Hanyu looks the thickest, and Liao Fan the least, with only five or six leaves of paper.
"Don't look now, there is plenty of time!"
After letting them go through the script for a while, Tang An interrupted their actions and clapped his hands to signal them to look over.
"I'll give you one month to thoroughly read those three documents. After one month, I will conduct an audition. If you don't meet the requirements, there will be no second chance. I hope everyone can take it seriously!"
After glancing around, Tang An said slowly.
Everyone looked at each other with concentration. Wang Zhongjun had told them before that Tang An's film company would not interfere in the choice of actors, and it was entirely up to him to make the decision.
And from the look on Tang An's face, it didn't look like he was joking.
In just one month, everyone was full of confidence. Last time for "Super Body", Tang An only gave him half a month.
"Mr. Tang, what are these three scripts?" Li Binbin raised his own question.
Generally, there are only two scripts, the entire film's script and the actor's personal script, so where's the third one?
"The third copy is actually a short story, with each of you as the protagonist, combined with some plots from the movie. In the next month, everyone will have to read it at least 100 times to learn about the characters' personalities.
, temper, behavior and all these are well understood!"
Everyone looked at each other, this was the first time they had encountered this situation.
This is actually a first-person short essay that Tang An excerpted from the original work, slightly modified, and excerpted from the plot that best expresses the characteristics of the character.
This method has actually been used by directors. Before the filming of the drama "Wulin Gaiden" was launched in January this year, the director asked Yu Entai to read the Analects of Confucius and the Four Books and Five Classics 100 times.
Read the entire Analects of Confucius and various ancient books 100 times!
Yu Entai didn't ask any questions, and just hunched over at home and read the entire Analects of Confucius and other ancient books more than a hundred times, and even memorized some of them!
It was only when the director arrived at the scene that he said that what he had read was of no use, so the scholar's image of an aggrieved "sour scholar" who "read a lot of books but to no avail" was born.
Although that show was crude, apart from the fact that it had no money and the hardware couldn't keep up, it was all top-notch production.
It's not enough to just pull in a few actors and design the same plot, the same expressions, the same lines, and the same actions.
Tang An didn't care what they didn't understand. They were not children and had to explain everything clearly.
If you are told to watch it, just watch it; if you don’t watch it and you don’t meet the requirements, get out!
He then said, "Zhang Hanyu."
"Oh, Mr. Tang!"
Zhang Hanyu was a little excited when he was called first.
Judging from the thickness of the script, Li Binbin and Zou Xun should be the protagonists. As for why this is another drama with a female protagonist, he is not surprised.
But now it seems that my role will not be reduced much!
He respectfully waited for Tang An's instructions.
"Your character is iron-blooded and cold, both good and evil, domineering and vicissitudes of life. You have to grasp a certain degree of relaxation and relaxation. Please study the torture scene more, how to add a delicate touch to the roughness.
Pain, this is different from the palm being pierced in "Super Body"!"
"And when he was sent to the operating table for rescue, he used his weak breath to sing a Tangshan hometown opera again. You have to learn this!"
"Okay, Mr. Tang, I will go find the locals to learn Tangshan dialect and local opera!" Zhang Hanyu nodded heavily.
"Wang Xiaoming!"
"Mr. Tang!"
Wang Xiaoming immediately responded. In the past few years, he has only played the third male lead in "The Night Banquet". This time Tang An's film is definitely the best opportunity, and he is not at peace!
Tang An looked at the future leader. He was 29 years old, not too young. Although his acting skills were still a little behind, at least he was good enough.
Two new-generation actors, Chen Kun and Liu Ye, should be more suitable, but Chen Kun is too thin. If the character Takeda were based on the characters in the novel, a reporter and a civil servant, it would be about the same.
Liu Ye participated in "The City Is Full of Golden Armor" and will definitely have to promote it during the Lunar New Year period.
At the beginning of the year, he also has a feature film starring Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep, which will go to the United States.
As soon as he saw Wang Xiaoming's smiling face, Tang An immediately became upset.
He shook his head, "When I go back, in addition to reading the script, I will practice smiling in front of the mirror. It will be unpredictable, calm, crazy, and arrogant. No matter how you smile, don't be like this!"
Wang Xiaoming's face froze, and he replied angrily, "Okay, Mr. Tang."
"Study more about the characters. Once the emotions are felt, the expressions will naturally be in place. Also, you must exercise more. At least you must be able to hold up the military uniform!"
"Okay Mr. Tang!"
"Don't use protein powder or muscle-building powder. These have side effects. Excessive dosage will increase the burden on the kidneys!"
kidney!
What men fear most is kidney failure. Wang Xiaoming immediately asked, "Is it okay to import it?"
Tang An glanced at him and said, "I haven't eaten it. If you don't want to exercise, just give it a try!"
Wang Xiaoming choked back, smiled sheepishly, and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will be in the gym every day this month!"
Then continue.
"Su Youpeng, you need to learn Kun Opera. You don't need to be able to sing, but you need to integrate the movements and micro-expressions of those fingers, mouth corners, eyebrows and eyes into your life. It needs to be very natural..."
There's not much to say about Liao Fan. He doesn't have many roles as an underground gangster.
As for Li Binbin and Zou Xun, Tang An didn't say much. They are the two characters with the most scenes, and the biggest highlight of the whole drama is their rivalry, as well as their rivalry with Zhang Hanyu and Wang Xiaoming.
"Binbin, Zou Xun, I won't say much more about you. These two characters fit you very well. Go back and study it yourself. I will add anything when the time comes!"
Tang An suddenly remembered a scene and told Li Binbin to continue to stay in shape.
In the original movie, in the scene where Li Binbin was insulted by Wang Xiaoming, she was forced to take off her shirt, and her belly was stretched out by the skirt. It really didn't look good!
"Then let's do this. Director Wang will invite us to dinner at noon and we will meet again then. I will also be working in the company during the rest of the day. If you have any questions, come to me anytime!"
PS: Update time is 10 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 20 o'clock, try to keep the time stable!
