After Wu Jianye finished his analysis, everyone nodded, while Bai Chen watched Wu Jianye become more and more satisfied. Many of Wu Jianye's ideas coincided with his own.
It’s a creative fit!
"What about Lao Bai, are you still angry at the factory for appointing Xiao Wu as the assistant director?" Ding Li knew about this, and looking at Bai Chen's satisfied look on his face, he couldn't help joking.
"Today's young people are incredible. It's really impressive. It's a waste that I thought about making movies about young people before, but I don't believe in young people anymore!" Director Bai Chen said with a wry smile.
"Yes, it is the continuous emergence of these young people that makes us look forward to the future of our country's films. These young people will make the world better understand our Chinese films!" Ding Li sighed.
road.
"Director Wu, can we arrange some young men and women with long hair and bell-bottoms and floral shirts in the movie to show the sense of the times?" makeup artist Zhu Peizhen asked.
Bai Chen and Ding Li also stopped talking, wanting to see how Wu Jianye would answer.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "No need, I just said that the most important thing for our movie is to be close to reality. What we want to shoot is the life of a group of young people who make a living with their own hands. Before
I also went to Sanguantang Bridge to take a look. Although there are some young people wearing the clothes you mentioned, those young people who work hard are not. What we want to tell is their story."
"Life is rich and complex. How to eliminate the false while retaining the true is what our film aesthetics need to express. Therefore, in the selection of materials, we should resolutely abandon the bizarre and negative things that are not the essence of life, because those cannot express the sense of the times and do not reflect the essence of life.
beautiful."
This is not what Wu Jianye said deliberately to cater to this group of people, it is also what he said from his heart. Although he does not think there is anything wrong with bell-bottom pants and floral shirts, but still, it is different from the style of the entire movie.
He really thinks this shouldn't happen.
As for saying that they do not represent the sense of the times and are not beautiful, then it is just a matter of opinion.
Bai Chen whispered to Ding Li: "Old Ding, you should immediately suggest to the leaders of the factory that when Xiao Wu graduates, you must find a way to transfer him to our Shanghai Mei Factory. Xiao Wu has the potential to become this
From the master of the times!”
Ding Li nodded again and again, watching Wu Jianye sit there and talk about his ideas calmly and calmly. He had not seen such a situation among young people for many years.
Wu Jianye used his own performance to make many people present recognize Wu Jianye's professionalism. However, whether he is competent in the specific director's work still depends on the performance on the scene. This can only be seen at that time.
Then everyone began to study the selection of participants.
After the performance in the morning, Bai Chen and Ding Li have already agreed that Wu Jianye will take on the role of Gao Zhihua, so now the entire crew has not decided on the role except Gao Zhihua.
Ding Li said: "I think the role of Father Qin should be played by Comrade Qi Daoshi. Since the role of Father Qin is an intellectual, I think Qi Daoshi's image is very suitable!"
Bai Chen and Wu Jianye nodded at the same time. They knew Wu Jianye well about Wu Jianye. He had played similar roles in many movies and was an experienced actor. He was very familiar with such a role.
.
In fact, the veteran actors on the crew are very sure. Those veteran actors have many years of acting experience, so there will be no problem for such a role.
So soon, Teacher Wang Pin was chosen for the role of Gao Mu, Teacher Shi Shugui for Aunt Zhou, Teacher Wang Wei for the role of Aunt Qin Nan, Teacher Yang Yutian for Aunt You, and Teacher Jiang Tian for the uncle.
...
After the role of the old man was chosen, it was the role of the young man.
"For the role of a young man, I suggest that we send a notice to the factory and ask everyone to come over and audition?" Bai Chen asked Ding Li.
Although Bai Chen decided on the actors himself, Ding Li wouldn't say anything, but asking about them also showed his respect for Ding Li, the production director.
Ding Li also understood that Bai Chen actually had the leading role in the film, "I have no objection, as long as you two directors can like it!"
"Where's Xiao Wu?" Bai Chen actually asked Wu Jianye for his opinion.
Wu Jianye naturally said that there was no problem, but in his memory, Gong Yin was not an actor at the Shanghai Film Studio at this time. If actors were selected at the Shanghai Film Studio, he didn't know whether Gong Yin would be chosen for this role.
Soon the casting notice was sent to the factory. Most of the actors also knew the news and started to sign up one after another. Even Dai Zhaoan also submitted an application. He wanted to play Gao Zhihua's friend Xiao Jian, although he didn't have many roles.
But he just likes to play with Wu Jianye.
After the last incident, he had long figured out that if it hadn't been for Wu Jianye's help, it would have been impossible for him to stay in Shanghai Film Studio now. As for writing the IOU, in his opinion, Wu Jianye wanted him to
Get rid of the bad habit of gambling on stones.
In the following days, Wu Jianye, Director Bai Chen and Ding Li began their daily casting life.
"I think this is okay!"
"This is not good, the performance is a bit exaggerated."
“This is not bad either!”
Basically, Bai Chen and Ding Li were expressing their opinions, while Wu Jianye just did what his younger generation had to do. This attitude made Bai Chen and Ding Li have a better and better opinion of him.
.
As for Dai Zhaoan, he also chose the role of Xiao Jian as he wished, and it was not the original version of Yang Heping.
"The role of Xiao Chen should be a young and beautiful girl, and she should also have some sense of fashion. The actress just now is not suitable!" Director Bai Chen shook his head.
After the others were chosen, only the heroine Qin Nan and Maomao's girlfriend Xiao Chen were left.
Ding Li thought for a while and said: "I think there is an actress who is quite suitable, but she is a bit young!"
Bai Chen quickly said: "Age is not a problem, can you call this actress and let us take a look?"
During this time, he was also troubled by the problems between these two characters.
"Okay, I'm going to call their work now!" Ding Li said and went out to make a call.
More than an hour later, a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old timidly walked in. Wu Jianye's eyes lit up, she was actually a beauty.
"Good director, good producer, I am Le Yun!"
"That's her!" Director Bai took his first look and fell in love with Le Yun. In fact, she had the youthful vitality of her age and was dressed fashionably, which made Director Bai Chen think that she was the one for his movie.
Xiao Chen in.
"Are you a little too young?" Wu Jianye asked.
"It's okay, just let Zhu Peizhen and the others paint carefully when the time comes!" Director Bai Chen said.
After Xiao Chen's role was decided, only the female lead Qin Nan's role was left.
When Bai Chen and Ding Li were at a loss, Wu Jianye took out a book of "Popular Cinema" and pointed at a photo of one of the girls and asked: "Director Bai, Producer Ding, what do you think of this actress?"
