Yi Mingming has obviously put in a lot of effort and has a very clear understanding of the characteristics of a female star.
After that, Yi Mingming analyzed several other candidates on the list.
Li Yi nodded without comment.
Finally, he asked: "So if you were asked to choose, who would you choose?"
Yi Mingming thought for a while and said: "Xue Yiran!"
Li Yi looked at Yi Mingming with some surprise.
This can be said to be an answer that surprised Li Yi.
Because, although Xue Yiran's appearance is quite in line with Li Yi's requirements for the heroine of "My Sassy Girl", Xue Yiran's aura is what Li Yi is most worried about.
He has seen some of Xue Yiran's famous works, and without exception, they are all very highly rated roles. On the one hand, Xue Yiran did a good job, and on the other hand, those characters are very likable.
For example, a gentle, beautiful and considerate heroine.
Another example is a girl who is weak but strong and makes people feel distressed.
Wait, wait.
It can be said that it is completely opposite to "barbaric".
Because the characters played by Xue Yiran all have a common characteristic, which is to highlight the word "soft"!
However, a savage girlfriend requires a lot of aura. Women are weak in nature, but in "My Sassy Girl", she has to reverse the trend and suppress men.
Therefore, Li Yi also considered Xue Yiran's role as the savage girlfriend Song Mingxi to create a sense of contrast, because in the movie, the character Song Mingxi is originally the kind of person who is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a crazy rabbit, with a strong sense of contrast.
Role.
It is also because of this that Xue Yiran was included in the candidate list.
"Why? Because of the contrast effect?" Li Yi asked curiously.
As a result, Yi Mingming gave an answer that surprised Li Yi.
She chuckled and said: "Xue Yiran's label is always gentle, and Tang Wenhui's new movie is called "My Gentle Girlfriend". I wonder if he will also consider inviting Xue Yiran to play the heroine?" Li Yi never expected that Yi Mingming would give this reason.
However, not to mention, since Tang Wenhui's movie is labeled as gentle, Xue Yiran's label is so obvious, and the actress with a good reputation is indeed very likely to be Tang Wenhui's preferred choice for the heroine! Although China seems to have a lot of pretty girls.
For example, Xu Yuner, who has worked with Li Yi before, there are actually not a few actresses like this.
But those who are careful will find that those young actresses who can actually be regarded as TV stars and real movie stars are really not that many.
In fact, Yi Mingming hit the mark!
In "My Gentle Girlfriend", Tang Wenhui is also thinking about the role.
And the first heroine candidate he thought of was Xue Yiran.
Of course, Xue Yiran was definitely not the only candidate, he also made a list.
However, unlike Li Yi, Tang Wenhui's movies face a much more complicated situation.
In terms of the main actors in Li Yi's movies, it can almost be said that he has one say. Who he wants to cast basically does not need to consider the opinions of others such as Mu Nanxing or Fang Dongbai.
But Tang Wenhui is different. For example, in the movie "My Gentle Girlfriend", it is difficult for Tang Wenhui to make a decision in one sentence.
Feitian Entertainment and Fanhai Film and Television are also very different.
It can be said that Fanhai Film and Television currently only has film and television production and distribution business.
But Feitian Entertainment is different. Feitian Entertainment has its own management company and its own contracted artists.
For example, the last Tang Wenhui movie "The Days We Are Together" used almost all artists from Feitian Entertainment.
Although Tang Wenhui is no longer a newcomer this time, he still cannot choose the actor he thinks is most suitable like Li Yi.
For example, Xue Yiran is indeed Tang Wenhui's favorite candidate, but the problem is that Xue Yiran is not an artist under Feitian Entertainment.
Of course, this is not a problem. If Tang Wenhui must use a heroine, he can still decide, but he also needs to make concessions in other aspects, such as the male protagonist or other supporting roles.
......
As for the male lead, Li Yi finally chose Lin Jinrong.
Because, Lin Jinrong performed very well in the role of a good-for-nothing boy in "Daughter's Wedding Dress".
And that character, to a certain extent, is somewhat similar to the character of Petunia in "My Sassy Girl".
Lin Jinrong is tall and tall, and it can be said that he has nothing to do with being a doormat. However, his role as the bad guy who teaches Taekwondo in "Daughter's Wedding Dress" brought a great sense of contrast.
In addition, for Lin Jinrong, Li Yi can be said to be his boss, and the two have collaborated many times, so Li Yi still appreciates Lin Jinrong.
After the male lead was decided, many actresses were directly excluded from the list, such as the most famous Dong Bingqian, because her height was completely unacceptable.
With Lin Jinrong's height of 1.85 meters, if you choose an actress who is 1.65 meters tall, and the male and female protagonists appear together, first of all, the heroine will be like a little bird, and she is so savage.
Soon, Li Yi asked Yi Mingming to send audition invitations to the agencies of the artists on the candidate list.
Naturally, Xue Yiran is also on the list.
Coincidentally, on the other side, Tang Wenhui also sent audition invitations to the artists he selected as candidates for the heroine.
Logically speaking, one focuses on gentleness and the other focuses on brutality, so it is unlikely that the lists will overlap.
This is also true, but just because it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, like Xue Yiran.
Xue Yiran has already established his own studio, which is affiliated with Times Light and Shadow.
Very independent.
As a first-line female star, Xue Yiran actually has a lot of film appointments, but of course, there are not so many that she can catch the eye.
At the same time, she received audition invitations from two directors, Tang Wenhui and Li Yi, who were being hyped by the media as rivals.
But Xue is still confused.
Xue Yiran was also very confused.
Tang Wenhui's movie "My Gentle Girlfriend" sent her an invitation. She really has nothing to be surprised about.
After all, this is her acting style.
But Li Yi's movie, that's "My Sassy Girl", what about you looks related to "savage"?
But if Xue Yiran were to choose regardless of film style, then there is no doubt that she would give priority to Li Yi's films.
Although Tang Wenhui has one movie that was a hit at the box office, after all, there is only one.
Li Yi, on the other hand, has had many successful films in succession, and is already the most popular director in the film industry.
Of course, if you take into account the styles of the two movies, Xue Yiran would have some hesitation.
