Chapter 342 Actors confirmed
Zhou Mulong felt itchy since Django half-jokingly said that he could write a TV series script for "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". First, Django's script quality is high, and second, he likes this supernatural theme with Chinese characteristics.
So, when I saw the script "A Chinese Ghost Story" today, the desire to shoot could no longer be controlled and completely exploded.
As for Django, he knew that Zhou Mulong hadn't made movies or TV series for several years, so he occasionally appeared on variety shows.
But the foundation is there, and the scripts exchanged are quite detailed, so there is no problem for novice directors to shoot, let alone the big directors who have been through the battlefield for a long time.
"Dad, Django, what are you talking about? Are you so happy?" At this time, Zhou Lingwei came back from shopping with her mother Jiang Ling and Django's mother Wu Xiuyun. When she entered the living room, she saw the two talking and laughing on the sofa, and asked curiously.
"Just just now, I recommended myself with a thick old face and asked Xiao Jiang for a script to shoot." Zhou Mulong replied happily.
"Let me guess which script it is..." Zhou Lingwei sat down next to Django, pondered for a moment, and said, "It must be "A Chinese Ghost Story", isn't it right?"
Zhou Mulong said in surprise: "How did you guess?"
It is said that "no father knows his daughter," but has he become "no father knows his daughter"?
Zhou Lingwei laughed and said, "In the past, you always talked about the horror films that didn't make a good domestic supernatural film and the horror films. My sister and I heard them so much that our ears were calloused. The scripts that you want to shoot must be shocking and terrifying. There is only "A Chinese Ghost Story", unless Django wrote a new one."
Zhou Mulong laughed. This daughter was clearly talking about him, but she didn't forget to praise her boyfriend.
Django acted as a supporting actor on the side, gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"
Zhou Lingwei smiled sweetly, then went gossiping and asked, "Then, have you selected the actors? Who plays Ning Caichen, who plays Nie Xiaoqian, and who plays Yan Chixia?"
Zhou Mulong looked at Django and did not want to interfere in selecting actors.
Django was silent for a moment, then said, "Nie Xiaoqian tentatively promised Shi Yue to play. There is no good candidate for Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia."
When it comes to "A Chinese Ghost Story", Nie Xiaoqian played by Joey Wong, Ning Caichen played by Leslie Cheung, and Yan Chixia played by Wu Ma were really deeply penetrated into the hearts of many viewers.
Although the movie was remade into many versions in the years since then, the roles played by the three of them can never be surpassed.
In fact, Nie Xiaoqian's prototype is not Joey Wong, but a Japanese actress Akina Nakamori. The painting of Nie Xiaoqian that appears in the movie was painted according to her appearance, but she refused the invitation.
Moreover, Joey Wong is not the second choice for the heroine, because the hero is Leslie Cheung, who is already very famous, so Tsui Hark did not consider her, who was not very famous at that time.
But she really wanted to play the role of Nie Xiaoqian, so she personally called Tsui Hark's wife Shi Nansheng for an audition, but was rejected by politely. However, she did not give up and went to Tsui Hark for an audition. As a result, the audition was beautiful and just right, so she got the opportunity to star.
Since then, although Yang Mi, Big S, Liu Yifei and others have also played Nie Xiaoqian, in the hearts of many viewers, the real Nie Xiaoqian can only be Wang Zuxian.
Although Qin Shiyue is not like Joey Wong, she is somewhat similar to Akina Nakamori.
In addition, when she wore white Hanfu, she was like cold smoke covering the moonlight and was not stained with the snow and frost of the world, especially the "beautiful", "cold" and "resential" of the female ghost written by Pu Songling.
So, there is no problem with her playing Nie Xiaoqian.
"Yueyue is indeed quite suitable." After hearing Django's words, Zhou Lingwei nodded, her eyes rolled, and then said, "Chen Yi plays Ning Caichen, Brother Gong plays Yan Chixia, how about it?"
Django shook his head and said, "The temperament is not the same as that. Ning Caichen wore a long dress and a bamboo basket on his back. His face was full of childishness, but what was inevitable between his eyebrows was heroic."
Leslie Cheung's exquisite face combines beauty and spirituality, and very few people. His childishness, elegance and style make the character Ning Caichen fresh and refined.
Xu Chenyi is not in this style, but is more quirky, but it has the flavor of Ning Caichen in Tony Leung's version in the third part.
Django paused and continued: "Yan Chixia's words are set to be around fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard on her face, and a righteous heart, and she does not seek fame and fortune."
In the third part, Jacky Cheung’s Yan Chixia is very coquettish, in the new version, Louis Koo’s Yan Chixia is very handsome, in the drama version, Yuanhua’s Yan Chixia is very strong, but the most classic is Yan Chixia from Wuma.
Gong Li's words almost mean.
After hearing this, Zhou Lingwei stuck out her tongue, turned to her father and said, "Dad, you are the director of this movie now, so I recommend it."
This girl...
Zhou Mulong smiled and did not interfere, but could he suggest it, and said: "According to the role setting, I thought about it in my mind that there are two actors that should meet the requirements, Zhang Liming's younger brother Zhang Fucheng and national first-class drama actor Feng Hongyuan."
When Django heard this, he raised his eyebrows unconsciously.
Zhang Liming...
Zhang Fucheng...
Is there another Zhang Dehua?
Zhou Lingwei immediately took her mobile phone to search online, and asked him to hand it to Django, saying, "The appearance is similar to what you described, look at it."
Django scanned a few photos, which made him feel like Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia. He said immediately: "I asked Sister Mo Lan to send them an invitation to audition and act in one or two scenes to see how good his acting skills are."
The candidates for "A Chinese Ghost Story" came to an end, and then talked about the candidates for "Young Bao Qingtian".
Django exchanged the script of Shaoqing 1. The main actors include Bao Zheng played by Chou Jie, Gongsun Ce played by Ren Quan, Zhan Zhao played by Shi Xiaolong, Ling Chuchu played by Li Bingbing and Pang Feiyan played by Liu Yijun.
The key is that Bao Zheng, the three versions are Zhou Jie, Lu Yi and Deng Chao, each with their own characteristics. To sum up, one is the young Bao Qingtian, the other is the middle-aged Bao Qingtian, and the other is the smiling Bao Qingtian.
First of all, we need to understand that although an actor's acting skills are one of his own "hard powers", how to act a character does not rely solely on acting skills. The actor himself also needs to have an understanding of the role and understand the role itself in the play.
An excellent actor is not only able to control characters with different characters, but more importantly, he will understand the role in the play thoroughly and interpret the character from this perspective.
The version of Bao Zheng in Jay Chou is considered a classic by many people, and it is almost integrated with the role. There is no trace of "acting" at all, and it really feels like a teenager.
Lu Yi's version of Bao Zheng is portrayed in a normal manner, which gives people the feeling of Bao Zheng in Jin Chaoqun's version and loses the spirit of "young".
Deng Chao's version of Bao Zheng is a little exaggerated and makes people easily distracted.
Django combined three versions of Bao Zheng to set up a requirement, three words "down-to-earth".
In other words, we need to play Bao Zheng with a teenage mentality, and then cooperate with the daily plot of non-crime solving in the plot, the feeling that it brings to the audience should be like the big brother in life, who usually plays with everyone, complains about this and that, and it doesn't seem serious, but if someone has something to do, he can help solve it, and it looks very reliable.
And this candidate is tentatively designated as Shen Yang.
That's right.
It was the nonsense Shen Yang.
What Django was thinking about was to use "Young Bao Qingtian" and "Nine-rank Sesame Official" to create an actor who can make trouble and calm down.
That is, one person and one character perform two different styles.
