Chapter 126 Casting, Car Accident, "Liu Yifei"
Lin Nan squeezed the audition time very tight, and spent another three days, non-stop from morning to night, to pass everyone.
Many of them don’t need to audition, just chat briefly, not because they are not good, but because they are all excellent.
So many actors have auditioned, some are acquaintances, and some are chatting with them for the first time.
Zeng Li and Chen Minghao are old faces, and this time they also have Liu Ye, who just finished filming "The Golden Armor" not long ago.
Not to mention Hu Jun, he is obviously a literary and opera actor, but he looks very masculine.
Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Yi, etc. also fit the image of astronauts.
Especially since the latter came from a military drama troupe and just came out of "Soldier Assault", his tough temperament as a soldier is very prominent.
"Senior Brother Chen, forget it this time..."
Lin Nan politely rejected Chen Minghao. Among the four male characters, he was not among Lin Nan's first considerations. If he is willing, The supporting cast here on Earth could give him one.
"Okay, as long as there is a role, I won't choose."
"Okay, let's take a ground role. There are so many scientist roles, you can choose one first."
Chen Minghao's acting skills Needless to say, Lin Nan has a deep understanding of this after working with him.
It was the role of the eldest sister that put Lin Nan in trouble. Zeng Li, Yang Xue, Fan Bingbing, Qin Hailu...
Fan Bingbing was the first to be eliminated. She was not the right age and too beautiful. Yang Xue, movies are different from TV, and their priority is not high.
Lin Nan finally chose between Zeng Li and Qin Hailu, the latter being a powerful actress.
Jing Tian’s matter is a problem. Lin Nan has promised to help her find a solution. At worst, she will be given a supporting role on the ground. She should keep the role of system operator for now.
Just in case something happens to Liu Yifei like a butterfly effect, Lin Nan has to cover for her.
Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhang Yi, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming.
Choosing three roles among the first four, including the protagonist, was Lin Nan’s final consideration.
Zhang Yi had just finished his performance in "Soldier Assault" and could not play a leading role, so he could only play a supporting role.
"Hu Jun, Liu Ye? There should be a tacit understanding of this cooperation, right?"
Lin Nan was shocked by his own thoughts.
"Lizi, you are two into one this time."
Chen Minghao chatted with Zeng Li privately.
"How did you know?"
"Director Lin appointed a supporting role for me and we chatted about it."
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? How could I tell you."
“Because the other one is Hailu.”
Chen Minghao was a little speechless. Knowing this was not a good thing, but he still needed to tell the two of them. It was better to know in advance than to meet him later. Well, how awkward that must have been.
...
"Brother Hu, please sit down."
In Lin Nan's office, Hu Jun sat down with a smile.
“I’m trying it too, but I didn’t expect it to come this far, haha.”
“At that time, when I went to visit the "Dragon" team, I saw it once from a distance. Well done, hero.”
"Haha, you deserve the award. Are you sure it's me this time?" Hu Jun asked.
“Confirmed.”
“Is it convenient to disclose the other actors?”
“Your teammates are Liu Ye, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is from the Army Repertory Theater Company. "Lin Nan also explained a sentence specifically, and was afraid that Hu Jun wouldn't recognize it.
I saw the other party and thought for a moment, "Yezi, we are old acquaintances, have we made a decision?"
"Preparing to make an announcement."
"Okay, I'll follow the director's arrangements, and I'll make sure to arrive on time for the subsequent training."
......
Most of the shots are less than one For the two-minute role, Lin Nan planned to find someone directly from Beijing Film Studio. Not only was it cheap, but the key was that his acting skills were up to standard.
Hua Yi once again released news that the co-production will have two male protagonists. Jet Li has been confirmed as one of the protagonists, and the film will be released worldwide.
The media is like a cat that has smelled something fishy, and the entertainment industry seems to have dropped a depth bomb. This is the biggest piece of fat this year, no, in the past few years, bar none.
It is not difficult to guess that there are only a few actors who can be ranked as the leading actor alongside Jet Li.
"The media has been led astray by Hua Yi. They keep guessing about Hollywood male stars. Jet Li may not necessarily represent domestic actors."
Lin Nan and Han Sanping were chatting and laughing.
“In spite of that, let’s talk about the casting this time.”
Lin Nan told all the candidates that had been decided so far and those that were yet to be decided. Han Sanping nodded in thought.
"How about we use Zeng Li? Although Qin Hailu is a movie queen, this is a commercial science fiction film after all. Zeng Li already has "Time Cruise", so it will be more acceptable to the audience."
It’s very interesting for two Nortel graduates to discuss which Chinese actor to choose.
"Well, that's the truth."
Lin Nan thinks what Han Sanping said makes sense. This film is about hardcore science fiction and Mars farming, and it doesn't necessarily have to be an actor or actress. , the focus is on the box office.
When Lin Nan called Zeng Li, she was promoting "Liao Zhai" on Capital TV. She was the heroine of the "Painted Skin" unit. This drama had been screened in Shanghai and other places before, and had a good reputation.
"Okay, Director Lin, I'll come over when I have time, um, thank you."
Huang Xiaoming, who was also backstage, heard Zeng Li's voice as Director Lin, and was thoughtful.
Huayi and Feng Xiaogang announced a new movie, a war movie.
At the press conference, Feng Xiaogang tentatively named the new film "Assembly Number", but the media asked the most about the co-production. After all, it cost 560 million.
Fortunately, Director Feng did not curse on the spot this time. Wang Zhonglei accepted questions from reporters.
“I definitely can’t reveal that much at the moment, but Jet Li has already decided, and it has been decided since the birth of the project.
Actresses, especially the heroine and the supporting actress, We screened across Asia, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, including Singapore and Malaysia. According to the rules, one of the main actors in this film must be from the Mainland..."
Liu Yifei's Mandarin album has been named Yes, it is named after her, "Liu Yifei".
The release is scheduled for the end of this month, with only three days left. Early in the morning, Lin Nan's door was banged by shots. Yesterday, he and the confirmed starring actors had a dinner together so that everyone could meet each other. There would be a media meeting later, so he came back a little late.
At the door of the room, Liu Yifei had a pale face and no trace of blood on her lips, looking very panicked.
"What's the matter, Sissi?"
"They said, Hu, Hu Ge had a car accident last night, and his assistant is gone..."
Like a pot Cold water poured down from the top of his head, and Lin Nan's exhaustion disappeared instantly.
"Are you still here? It seems that you really forgot to remind me..."
Lin Nan thought with pain in her heart.
“Wait for a while, I will change clothes and go to the hospital.”
Nearly one-third of the portal today is about Hu Ge, a popular niche, almost The reddest bit.
“Be careful on the road.”
Liu Xiaoli reminded her daughter and Lin Nan.
"Mom, don't worry."
Liu Yifei grabbed two buns and said, Lin Nan hadn't had breakfast yet.
The two of them did not bring an assistant with them. After flying to Magic City, they took a bus to the corps hospital.
A large number of reporters and fans surrounded the Corps Hospital, and many relatives and friends came.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei saw Sun Li, Yuan Hong, Cai Yinong, Lin Yichen and others, as well as many actors and classmates from the "The Condor" crew.
"Director Lin, Yi Fei."
"Mr. Cai, how are you?"
"The preliminary surgery has been completed and the person is awake. Later, maybe later I need several rounds of facial plastic surgery..."
When he said this, Cai Yinong looked very depressed, and the actor had that face.
"Are you able to visit?"
"Yes, it's just that the face was severely injured by broken glass, and the brow bone and nose bone were fractured. The person's life is not in danger."
Half of Hu Ge's face, including the bridge of his nose, was damaged. The gauze was wrapped tightly, and the whole person lay there lifelessly.
"Thank you for coming to see me. I probably won't be an actor in the future..."
Hu Ge said very slowly. After the anesthetic wears off, pain is inevitable.
"The doctor said it can be repaired, and surgeries abroad are also very good."
Yuan Hong comforted him.
“Don’t say such depressing words.” Lin Nan said.
“She is gone, she is still so young.” Hu Ge’s voice was filled with deathly silence.
The mental trauma is more severe than the physical one, Hu Ge said to himself, completely ignoring everyone's comfort, and was immersed in pain and regret.
"You will be fine. Let Lin Nan look for you to make movies in the future." Liu Yifei also wanted to comfort Hu Ge.
“Is it Yifei?”
Hu Ge said hard, “Well, I will persist and live for her.”
Lin Nan’s reaction to this scene I feel deeply that when I was lying in the hospital waiting to die, I was more frustrated than this.
Cai Yinong was being interviewed outside, saying that he would not give up Hu Ge and that the people of Tang Dynasty would always wait for him.
The news of Hu Ge's disfigurement leaked out from the doctor's mouth, and there was a crazy discussion on the Internet. "Sword and Fairy" is still fresh in their minds, and a large number of fans cannot accept it.
Staying here can't help much. After Lin Nan stayed for two or three hours, he left with Liu Yifei. There were still a lot of things to do, but the photos of the two of them appearing in the hospital were published in the newspaper.
On the last day of August, "Liu Yifei" was officially released.
Lin Nan was preparing for the press conference at China Film Group Corporation, but listening to Liu Yifei's sweet laughter on the phone, she knew that her results that day should be very good.
Still in China Film, the casting lineup of "The Martian" was disclosed to the outside world for the first time.
Protagonist: Botanist, given to Chinese film actor Hu Jun.
The leader of the Mars team was given to Zeng Li, who was also the heroine of Lin Nan’s last movie.
The pilot of the spaceship, Liu Ye, the best actor in Chinese dramas.
Chemist, Huang Xiaoming from Nortel.
Doctor in the group: Zhang Yi.
Space center project leader: Chen Minghao.
Director: Chen Baoguo.
……
All the main actors arrived at the scene, and of course Jing Tian was also there.
In this regard, a reporter asked, "Is the last female character in the group, the system operator, Jing Tian?"
Lin Nan shook his head.
“Not necessarily. This role has not yet been decided. It will be decided based on the results of the training.
The main creators, including some supporting characters, will undergo training at the aerospace training center for a period of time.
Including physical training, weightless training, etc., the spacesuits used for filming will also weigh dozens or even nearly a hundred kilograms..."
The press conference ended, and the cast lineup triggered a big discussion.
"The cast of "The Martian", which started with a cost of 300 million, has been confirmed, with many talented actors participating."
"Hu Jun and Liu Ye are collaborating again, and the two movie kings will take the lead."
"Chinese opera actor wraps up "The Martian" drama..."
"Why did amateur actor Jing Tian join the crew of "Mars"? Is there a behind-the-scenes deal?"
In any case, Lin Nan's film is indeed much more open and bright than Huayi's co-production. He does what he says, is very efficient, and has many convincing actors.
Liu Yifei saw the report of the press conference and was a little unhappy.
