Chapter 541: Group audition turned into a program?
After the news broke that "War Meridian" needed a large number of actors between the ages of eight and sixteen.
Almost all the actors in China who meet the requirements are interested.
Mainly Li Yi's movies, which are too tempting.
The key is that Li Yi's movie audition can be said to be relatively fair.
It all depends on the actor's performance and whether he is suitable or not, regardless of his identity or background.
Therefore, as long as they meet the requirements, they are almost eager to join the candidate list and the audition list.
Even though Zhuo Yixiong has passed the preliminary screening, there are still not a few people who meet the requirements of appearance, age, etc.
"So many?" Li Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Zhuo Yixiong brought a thick stack of actors' information.
"That's not all, these are the ones I have screened, and the ones left behind are those that are more in line with your requirements, if not more!" Zhuo Yixiong said helplessly.
In fact, this is quite normal. China lacks everything, but it does not lack people.
Especially since this is Li Yi's movie, and for Li Yi's movies, Li Yi directly appoints candidates. If it is an open recruitment, it is relatively fair compared to other crews. This leads to the fact that there will be
So many people sent information to the crew to sign up.
After all, for them, if they can hit the ground running, if they can be selected, it will definitely be a step to the top.
Regardless of whether the movie role is important or not, as long as you appear in Li Yi's movie, even if it is just a supporting role, it is definitely an extremely heavy resume.
Li Yi first felt that it was difficult to find actors. In fact, it was because there were not many actors he was familiar with in his age group.
In fact, there is no shortage of young actors of this age group in the entertainment industry, but many of them are not famous.
And many times, most actors can't even reach the projects of top directors like Li Yi.
Li Yi looked through the information while looking through it.
Zhuo Yixiong explained: "Because we don't have so much time to train actors slowly, I first screened out actors who had no acting experience. The remaining ones have starred in at least three movies."
Actors in film and television works.”
Li Yi nodded and continued to read.
Suddenly, there were several pieces of information that made Li Yi frown slightly.
Because the people on those actor profiles are all relatively famous and popular idols at the moment.
The age is quite suitable, but the problem is that Li Yi's movie is the biggest one, and he doesn't need to use these popular idols to boost the popularity of the movie.
Although these people all have acting experience, Li Yi instinctively rejects them.
"Forget it, let's all arrange to audition together." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
"However, there are still too many people, and auditioning one by one is too time-consuming." Li Yi frowned.
In fact, in auditions and other things, sometimes you really can’t tell much.
But it's more about on-the-spot performance.
And this time there are so many people, even a few minutes of audition can make Li Yi very tired.
"Well, haven't we already found the filming location? Just let them go over and climb that section of the wild Great Wall and let them experience the environment there. We should be able to eliminate a group of people." Li Yi suddenly smiled
said.
Zhuo Yixiong couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and then asked with some worry: "But the environment there is indeed a bit worse, and the wild Great Wall is very steep. Are they really allowed to go there?"
"Well, it's not just that. When the time comes, let them survive in the real wild. It won't take too long!" The more Li Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this special audition method could allow him to select a truly suitable actor.
You must know that the little soldiers in "War Meridian" are not modern urban children who have no fingers in the mud. In this regard, there will definitely be a big difference in temperament.
After all, if these little actors can become little actors, then their family conditions will definitely not be too bad.
The "earthy smell" on the body is obviously lacking.
Li Yi didn't want people to know at a glance that they were not real Eighth Route Army soldiers, but just city kids wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms!
And what Li Yi hopes can be filmed is that they will perform the kind of little Eighth Route Army soldiers who have a taste of life and an earthy atmosphere.
Therefore, this special audition trip may not be able to wash away the "urban" and "modern" flavor from them, but Li Yi wants to come, but at least there will be some "wild" flavor.
Zhuo Yixiong didn't pay much attention to Li Yi's ideas. In fact, many directors have different casting methods and preferences.
There are even more bizarre casting methods and audition methods.
The only difference is that this time Li Yi directly came to cast a group to experience life.
After the news was announced, it did not scare those people. After all, although for those children, this may be a more unforgettable journey, but similarly, once the performance is good enough, the rewards will be huge.
Of course, the specific way of "experience" is actually simple and simple, it is "wilderness survival" with "missions"!
However, for those who auditioned, it was indeed their first time.
It was originally an audition, but the director didn't see me. Instead, he was directly told that if he wanted to audition, he had to undergo a half-month outdoor life experience on the "Wild Great Wall".
Li Yi actually doesn't have any special purpose. He just wants to see if he can endure the hardship. Anyway, there is no rigid standard. When the time comes, those who perform better will be directly nominated and passed the audition.
However, Li Yi's sudden idea made several media platforms very interested.
After all, this time it can be said to be full of gimmicks, a bit like a draft summer camp.
And the reward is extremely generous, which is the selection of the main role in Li Yi's new movie.
In addition, the people who auditioned ranged from eight-year-olds to fifteen- or sixteen-year-old young ladies, and none of them were unknowns. On the contrary, there were quite a few well-known people among them.
For example, six of them are currently popular idol groups.
They are all fifteen or sixteen years old.
Therefore, soon Penguin Video, Cool Cat Video, and even Jingnan TV Station came to visit after getting the news.
"What do they think?" Speaking of surprises, Li Yi was not too surprised.
After all, there are many celebrity reality shows these days, and programs such as outdoor survival and wilderness survival are also very popular.
Not to mention, this time, Li Yi's unique audition is a very powerful gimmick, which is much more interesting than those simple outdoor celebrity reality shows.
"They hope to turn this group audition into a program..." Lou Jianjun said with a smile.
"Make it a show..." Li Yi frowned slightly.
This is somewhat inconsistent with Li Yi's original intention.
