Chapter 40 Movies originate from reality and should be different from reality
Li Yi and Zhuo Yixiong just listened quietly and did not interrupt Liu Yuran's words.
She continued: "Later, Xiao Min's father came over. Of course I refused at first, but time and time again, he bought gifts for his children, secretly went to school to see his children, and took his children out to play."
"Although Xiao Min didn't say it, I could tell that during that time Xiao Min was calling daddy in her dreams..."
"You don't know, it's actually Xiao Min who makes me persist, but it's also Xiao Min who makes me unable to persist!"
"I originally thought that I was my child's god, he was my everything, and I was his everything! But one day, the belief that supported me to persevere was gone..."
"That's the most desperate thing! Do you understand?"
"So, I gave up! I chose to let Xiao Min go with his father. Even though he was so sad when he left, I really couldn't hold on anymore."
"Some things, as long as a gate is opened, will be released like a torrent!"
"I admit that there is a certain reason for that. I love vanity. I have had enough of that kind of life..."
"Fortunately, the results are not particularly bad, and they don't mind me visiting Xiao Min on a regular basis. Xiao Min's life is getting better, and I am satisfied."
Liu Yuran’s story doesn’t sound that complicated.
It cannot be completely confused with movies, but Li Yi felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Because at least, he understands and understands what kind of reasons may cause a mother to change when she faces such a situation!
Of course, Liu Yuran's experience can only provide some reference for Li Yi. Movies are not reality. After all, art comes from life, but it is higher than life.
In Li Yi's view, perhaps the biggest sense of dissonance in "Mom Love Me Again" is not actually Huang Qiuxia's decision, but the child's reaction!
The child in the movie is too sensible. Of course, this must be the reason why the movie deliberately portrays such a sensible child, but it is too sensible.
People always yearn for a better life, including spiritual and material aspects.
But in the movie, only the spiritual level is highlighted, but the material level is not expressed in just a few words.
But Li Yi is also a little embarrassed, because the child's sensibility is itself part of the movie's sensationalism.
Therefore, he was a little hesitant to modify Lin Zhiqiang's character when he was a child.
Huang Qiuxia's character in the movie also needs to be modified a little, because the era in which the original work was born has undergone tremendous changes in women's independence.
After returning, Li Yi began to retreat and revise the script.
In fact, most of it is just fine-tuning.
Generally speaking, the plot of the original work is still followed.
The first tear-jerking movie of the year is not something you just talk about casually. It certainly has its own uniqueness.
Busy time always passes quickly.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the auditions for "Mom Love Me Again".
Different from "The Gift of Room No. 7", when "The Gift of Room No. 7" was released, Li Yi could be said to have little fame, no, to be precise, he was quite notorious.
Naturally, at that time, even if there were auditions, there would probably only be a few actors who couldn't get into the roles and try their luck.
So basically the roles at that time were recommended by Li Yi’s father Li Zhenye, Luo Xian, Zhuo Yixiong and others.
At that time, no one knew whether the movie would be successful, so naturally there would be no competition for roles.
But "Mom Love Me Again" is completely different.
After the news spread, too many people were interested in the movie.
It is a universally recognized basic law that successful people always succeed.
Li Yi may not be considered a great director now, but at least he can be called an "outstanding young director" and a "well-known director".
Therefore, if you don’t audition, it’s really hard to repay the favors you owed.
There are actually quite a few roles in the audition, but the most popular heroine is not among the auditions today, which makes some people quite disappointed.
Not to mention the main role of the heroine Huang Qiuxia in "Mom Love Me Again", Mainland's drama queen Wen Qing has been cast.
Other roles, another male protagonist, Lin Zhiqiang's childhood version and adult version, will be auditioned today. Likewise, these two roles are also the most competitive.
After all, he is the protagonist.
Secondly, there is the role of Lin Guorong. Although this role is not the protagonist in the movie, he is also the second male lead in many roles. There are many people competing for the same.
Although the remaining roles of Lin Guorong's parents are relatively large roles, due to the age requirement, auditions for this kind of roles are basically not done. Most of the time, whoever is suitable is directly felt and if the other party has the schedule, they will be cast.
It was decided immediately.
In the audition office, Li Yi looked through a thick stack of information.
He looked at his father Li Zhenye and Zhuo Yixiong speechlessly and said, "So many?"
Li Zhenye smiled bitterly and said: "This is because we have already screened and eliminated people who obviously do not fit the role setting, otherwise there will be more."
No wonder Li Yi complained, for the role of the male protagonist alone, the childhood version was better, with only four auditioning.
As for the adult version of the male protagonist Lin Zhiqiang's role, Good Guy, there are a dozen people.
And there are actually quite famous actors among them.
For example, the actor recommended by Hong Kong Star Entertainment is the most famous auditionee today.
Although the two parties have not reached a cooperation yet, Hong Kong Star still recommended its actors.
In fact, to a certain extent, I am relatively optimistic about Li Yi’s new movie.
Among these dozen people, the new generation of actors from Hong Kong account for most, and several of them are second-generation stars.
There are also a few in the mainland, and what surprised Li Yi is that there are actually several of them who can be considered popular niches nowadays.
Although they are not as popular and famous as the actors recommended by Hong Kong stars, it can be said that these niche actors are not small roles.
"What? Is there any problem with Director Li?" Seeing Li Yi's changing expression, Zhuo Yixiong asked in surprise.
"No, it's just these few. Who recommended them?" Li Yi asked, naming a few actors who were considered second-tier stars in the mainland entertainment industry.
Zhuo Yixiong smiled and said: "They were all recommended by people from several film and television companies in the mainland. They probably knew the news, so they looked for channels."
"After all, they are not newcomers, and their appearance fits the character quite well, so we directly added them in." Zhuo Yixiong replied with a smile.
"No, I mean, they shouldn't be short of filming, right?" Li Yi was a little suspicious.
"Hahaha! Director Li, do you have any misunderstanding about the appeal of your own movie? You know, "The Gift of Room No. 7" won more than 300 million box office with Xiaobo Da. Although these people are somewhat famous
, but film resources have always been scarce, especially for male protagonists, and it is a film by a director like you, Director Li, who has just made a hit movie. Of course, it is very attractive to them." Zhuo Yixiong
