"Love Is Not Blind" is not difficult to film. As an urban light comedy, it focuses on love healing, and the acting requirements for the heroine may be higher. Currently, there are only two female artists under the Dream Chase Culture Agency, Liu Shishi and Yang Ying. Liu Shishi was naturally lured by Shao Shuaijun because of his role as Xiao Rou in Painted Skin. The same was true for Yang Ying.
Both of them are actors who will become popular in the future. Shao Shuaijun prefers Liu Shishi to play the heroine "Huang Xiaoxian". She is not a newcomer and has experience in several TV series. She should be able to play Huang Xiaoxian well, and she is the first artist to sign a contract with the company. , she should be greatly praised.
As for the male lead "Wang Xiaojian", Shao Shuaijun's favorite is still Wen Zhang. He played the role in the original version, which is very interesting. Now that he is a bit more mature, it should be no problem to train him. He will be cast as the male lead immediately after signing the contract.
For the role of "Big Lao Wang", Shao Shuaijun still chose Zhang Jiayi. Since there are no older actors in Dream Chasing Company, it is natural that the original version should be the best.
"Li Ke" was given to Yang Ying, "Wei Yiran" was given to Chen Xian, "Aunt Zhang" was given to Hai Qing, "Teacher Chen" was given to Guo Tao, "Shan Shan" was given to Bai Baihe. And Huang Xiaoxian's ex-boyfriend "Lu Ran" was given to After marrying Deng Chao, his good friend "Feng Jiaqi" gave them to Sun Li. Deng Chao and Sun Li had already been in the industry for a few years and were half-popular but not popular. Shao Shuaijun began to prepare to poach them and train them well.
Shao Shuaijun became happier and happier looking at the cast he had sketched.
These are all big-name stars in the future, and now they are all crowded together. If you watch "33 Days After Love" after they are all famous, it will really be called the most popular movie in Chinese movies.
During the preparation process, Shao Shuaijun received an invitation from this year's Golden Horse Awards as an award presenter. Although his "Source Code" was a box office hit, surprisingly, it only received one nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Ning Hao's " "Crazy Racing" was nominated for the best drama film. "The Lost Road" and "Du Lala's Promotion" did not receive any nominations.
Shao Shuaijun has come to his senses. With the plot of "Source Code", there really isn't much artistic tension, so it's basically impossible to win an award. In addition, "33 Days After Love" was about to start filming, so he declined politely and made the movie with peace of mind.
The new signings went very smoothly. Except for one or two who had been signed by other companies long ago, none of the others left and signed with the Dream Chasing Entertainment Agency. Under the leadership of Wang Wei, several actors came to the company and accepted Shao Shuaijun's audition. Even if the actors are pre-selected, Shao Shuaijun still has to look at their performance to make further decisions.
"Hello, welcome to Dream Chaser Entertainment. The company is still in its infancy, and the decoration is not bright enough." Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands, "But, I selected you from various schools. I am very optimistic about your future and hope to cooperate in the future. , everyone can have a happy time. Now let me talk about this script."
The script is sharp enough and contains many venomous lines. At the same time, it is a movie full of ordinary life and tells some truths in life. There is no drama, no climax, and the narrative is very straightforward, just a lovelorn story. The story of a girl who found love again in 33 days.
It's down-to-earth, not cryptic, and has sharp words.
It can arouse strong resonance among people who are falling out of love, or have been love-broken before, and then tell them to believe in love. This is the theme of this movie, which is very vulgar and light, but it can touch the hearts of some viewers.
"Master Liu, the role I gave you is Huang Xiaoxian, the heroine, a mean and sharp person. I need to see from the audition that you can handle such a role. Give me a little bit of ruthlessness and pretend to be ruthless sadness."
Shao Shuaijun first named Liu Shishi. He had collaborated with him in "Painted Skin" and was considered an acquaintance.
Master Liu is very spiritual and brings this kind of ruthlessness to life.
Shao Shuaijun immediately made the decision: "Very good, Sister Wang, send her Huang Xiaoxian's script. Master Liu, go back and think about this character carefully. If there is anything you don't understand or find difficult to figure out, you can come to the company to see me."
"Thank you, director, I will try my best to figure it out." Liu Shishi happily took the script and went out.
"Shishi is like an elf. Director Shao has great vision. It is very cost-effective to sign her." Wang Wei said with a smile.
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "If you have spirituality, you must work hard to shine."
Next is Wen Zhang. The current Wen Zhang has not experienced much training. Shao Shuaijun is very worried that he cannot master this role.
And Wen Zhang's performance was indeed very jerky.
"Wen Zhang, your performance is too dry. What I want to show is not a sissy, nor a homosexual. Wang Xiaojian is a person who enjoys life. He may act a bit effeminate, but that's on the outside. On the inside, he is a pure man.
, has a domineering side. You can’t just find his effeminate side and lose the other side.”
Shao Shuaijun shook his head. Wang Xiaojian must live so that the movie can be exciting. For now, Wen Zhang is not qualified. If he wants to be famous but not famous, he can only be satisfied with his acting skills, but his acting skills are not as good as later.
Just about to refuse, Wen Zhang suddenly said: "Director, it's too rushed. I know there was something wrong with my performance just now, but can you give me one more day, no, half a day, and I will play it again in the afternoon. If it is not up to standard, you can
Just replace me, okay?"
"Okay, you can go and think about it now and come see me in the afternoon." Shao Shuaijun agreed casually. He could give him this opportunity. He also looked forward to Wen Zhang's performance as Wang Xiaojian.
Then I tested the skills of other actors in the school. Most of them were students at the school and their acting skills were young, but they were remarkable. There was something wrong with Yang Ying. She didn't have the charm of a money-worshiping girl like Li Ke in the movie, but she was a bit struggling.
It feels like a woman. This may be because Yang Ying came into contact with society too early and worked hard on her own.
Yang Ying lived in Shanghai in her early years, then went to Hong Kong, and now lives in the company's dormitory. She has a very independent personality and dares to fight hard. Shao Shuaijun appreciates all of this. He hates pretentious people the most and appreciates hard-working people.
"Yang Ying, what can I say about your acting skills? It's really not that good. Li is a gold digger and her role is not light. I hope you can take the role, but you must do it to satisfy me. Let's do this. Sister Wang is an expert. You
Go to her school to study for a while first, and I will put your role aside until you finish your studies before you come back to play."
"Thank you, director, thank you, director." Yang Ying originally thought she would not pass, but unexpectedly, there were unexpected twists and turns, and she jumped up excitedly.
Seeing her so happy, Shao Shuaijun's mood also improved: "I don't give you much time. Are you confident that you can play Li Ke well in a month?"
"Yes, director, please don't worry."
"That's good."
Wang Wei waited for Yang Ying to go out and asked curiously: "Ajun, do you think you care about her very much? I don't think there is anything special about her. At most she has a better figure."
"I like her fighting spirit, and don't you think her temperament is very sexy when dressed up? I am very optimistic about her future development, and she is a mixed race. If she develops well, she can take an international route." Shao Shuaijun smiled,
His ambitions are not limited to one or two. How can he be embarrassed to call himself a great director if he doesn't bring out several international superstars?
