"It seems you have made a decision?" Chen Wen looked at Li Yi and asked.
"What do you think?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Guan Xiaoshan is indeed more suitable in all aspects." Lin Yunbin nodded.
"Well, actually these four are considered to be the best young talents of this age group, but it's a pity that there is only one protagonist." Chen Wen sighed.
After finishing all the protagonists.
Li Yi was relieved.
In fact, Li Yi himself was a little unsure about a big-production, big-scenario movie like "Changjin Lake".
Fortunately, Yan Chunming and other veteran directors protected him, otherwise, he would really not dare to make this kind of movie.
Whether it's "Wreaths Under the Mountain" or "War Meridian", in fact, to be honest, they are all "pseudo" war movies.
Although "Changjin Lake" also uses the small group of the Seventh Company to intervene in the Battle of Changjin Lake, it is impossible to omit those war scenes like "Wreaths Under the Mountain" and "War Meridian".
When Guan Xiaoshan received the call, he was in disbelief.
Later, Guan Xiaoshan himself said that the reason why he was so calm was actually because he felt that he had little hope, so he did not worry about gains and losses. He had a feeling of risking everything, so he performed better than other actors.
nature.
On the other hand, Zhao Xuan lost the election, which can be said to be something that many people did not expect.
Including Zhao Xuan's manager and Wan Xing, they also didn't expect it.
Because according to normal circumstances, Zhao Xuan is actually not bad.
It can even be said that Zhao Xuan is indeed better than other players in all aspects.
After all, he is a top idol with tens of millions of Weibo fans, and he does not have shortcomings like some popular celebrities, so Zhao Xuan was not selected.
First of all, his fans immediately exploded.
However, his fans dare not go to DISS Li Yi, not only because Li Yi's fame is there, but also because Li Yi is the director.
His fans naturally don't dare to attack the director. After all, if he really wants to do this, the simplest reason is, who will dare to find Zhao Xuan in the future?
On the contrary, Guan Xiaoshan, who stood out and got the role, was severely criticized by Zhao Xuan's fans on Weibo.
So sometimes Li Yi really doesn't like traffic stars, why?
Even if Zhao Xuan did give him a good impression, fans who can't stand them will easily explode!
However, Zhao Xuan or the team behind him obviously knew that fans doing this would only bring Zhao Xuan into trouble, so they quickly appeased the fans and apologized to Guan Xiaoshan.
Of course, this is also because Guan Xiaoshan is the leading actor in Li Yi's movie.
It's just that Li Yi didn't expect that Wan Xing wouldn't give up, but it was normal if he thought about it carefully.
"Actually, Zhao Xuan's popularity is quite high. Guan Xiaoshan is much less popular." Mu Nanxing said to Li Yida with a smile.
Li Yi just looked at Mu Nanxing and asked with a smile: "Are Wanxing's people looking for you?"
Mu Nanxing nodded and said, "Yes, I am one of the investors after all."
"One of the investors? Do you also think I should choose Zhao Xuan?" Li Yi looked at Mu Nanxing with a half-smile.
People change, and Mu Nanxing is no longer the same Mu Nanxing who just took over Oceanwide Films.
"At least, he is no worse than Guan Xiaoshan, right? Moreover, Wanxing always needs their channel support for the release of movies..." Mu Nanxing continued without realizing it.
Li Yi didn't answer, just looked at Mu Nanxing with a smile.
"Old Mu, I hope this is the last time!" Li Yi was still smiling, but what he said made Mu Nanxing unable to laugh.
Mu Nanxing opened her mouth, and finally sighed, revealing a wry smile.
Many movie castings, and even plots, are threatened by capital.
Wan Xing did not dare to approach Li Yi directly, but instead approached Mu Nanxing. However, Li Yi did not expect that Mu Nanxing would break the tacit understanding over the years and try to interfere in his own movie.
...
Before the filming of "Changjin Lake" started, Li Yi called the leading actors together to read the script.
Brainstorm ideas!
On the first day, Li Yi directly asked everyone to find fault.
Chen Wen was the first to come up and said: "I think the red scarf wrapped around Wu Wanli has a very important meaning:
Before the war, this red color was a symbol of the unity of the army and the people, and a symbol of the pure revolutionary friendship between young men and women of that era;
On the battlefield, this red represents the blood shed by heroes and martyrs;
The victory in the war, this red color is the embodiment of the great national spirit of the Chinese nation and the hope for the future.
It can be said that this should be a very crucial prop that runs through the entire film. However, after reading the script, I have always had a doubt. Why did the little girl throw her red scarf to Wu Wanli? There was no explanation in the movie.
The two people know each other or have an intersection. There is no motive. Is it just because Wu Wanli is the protagonist? I always feel that there is a bit...well, it just feels like something is missing."
Li Yi nodded. He had actually considered this before.
"Then what do you think would be better?" Li Yi asked.
"I have some ideas." Guan Xiaoshan raised his hand.
"Say." Li Yi gave him an encouraging look.
"What Teacher Chen said seems a bit abrupt, so can we add a plot so that the girl and Wu Wanli have a little intersection, but this is not intentional. Wu Wanli got out of the car and met the little girl. Because the two were similar in age, they started chatting.
, then the little girl discovered that Wu Wanli was wearing thin clothes, but before she could say anything, she heard the whistle, telling everyone to get on the train quickly. The train started, the comrades in the logistics support threw their cotton-padded clothes on the train, and the little girl also put her red scarf on.
Throw it to Wu Wanli."
"Good boy, I got it for you!" Chen Wen couldn't help but pat Guan Xiaoshan.
Li Yi also nodded.
"This is a good idea! I will consider it! Any more?"
"Can new recruits go directly to the battlefield without training? It doesn't feel right here!" Zhou Guo said.
"Well, I asked Professor Li. In that era, there was such a situation of recruiting soldiers on the front line, and the recruit training was actually on the train. It was just because the length was already very long, so I didn't include it.
." Li Yi said.
In fact, he did have some doubts about this at first. However, according to Li Zhanbing, many of the recruits who joined the army at that time had only undergone simple training before going to the battlefield, because this battle was too sudden and there was no training at all.
So much time allows us to be fully prepared, so it is normal for new recruits to not even recognize bullets.
Script reading is still very useful, especially to allow the actors to better understand the director's ideas.
At the same time, it will also deepen your understanding of the overall plot of the entire movie.
After all, most of the time, although each character only needs to play himself well, some plots are related to each other.
For example, in a certain plot, the character will not participate in the previous plot, but you must at least know what happened before. Otherwise, how can you act out the emotions at that time?
