This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 703

c703 Casting, Fighters in Movies

The crew of “The Wandering Earth 2” sent Lin Yingxue an audition invitation.

Although we have worked together many times before, we still have to audition.

However, she was also given some preferential treatment. Fang Xing and the casting director found another time to audition her to accommodate her work schedule.

Therefore, Lin Yingxue auditioned at the Ark Culture Headquarters. At 7:30 in the evening, after dinner, she worked overtime alone to audition.

Lin Yingxue apologized as soon as she entered the door: “Director, I’m sorry, I have to ask you to wait for me. There are a lot of activities these days, so I’m sorry.”

After all, she has set up an independent studio, and she has to support the entire studio by herself, so her work schedule is quite full.

Fang Xing had just finished dinner and pretended to have eaten, and asked: “This drama does have a lot of female characters, one with fighting scenes and one without.

“Before the audition, let me ask you what you think. Do you want to do a fighting scene?”

In “The Wandering Earth 2”, there are two main female characters, one is “Han Duoduo” and the other is “Hao Xiaoxi”.

“Hao Xiaoxi” has a growth line in the movie, growing from a newcomer to an excellent official spokesperson.

And her name is also very interesting, its homophone is “good news”.

Another “Han Duoduo” also has a very special name.

The name “Han Duoduo” is the name of “Liu Qi”‘s sister in “The Wandering Earth 1”.

However, “Han Duoduo” in the two movies is not the same person.

In fact.

The story of “The Wandering Earth 2” is the prequel of “The Wandering Earth 1”.

In other words, the timeline is from “The Wandering Earth 2” to “The Wandering Earth 1”.

“Han Duoduo” is actually the daughter of “Han Ziang”, which is the mother of “Liu Qi”.

Later, “Han Duoduo” died of illness. As the father, “Han Ziang” adopted a baby girl and gave the baby girl his son’s name.

For “Han Ziang”, he actually regards his granddaughter as his emotional sustenance for his daughter.

“Han Duoduo” in “The Wandering Earth 2” is a female astronaut. She has many fighting scenes in the movie, but not every actress is willing to do it.

Moreover, the movie is not a TV series.

TV dramas can use Wia to trick him and use a substitute to fool him.

Movies are different, especially if the director has strict requirements, and the difficult actions have to be performed personally.

…

As early as when the official announcement project of “The Wandering Earth 2” was launched, Lin Yingxue already knew the character of the film.

In fact, every time she wants a role, her goal is very clear and she takes it after careful consideration.

Therefore, she had already known the two characters “Han Duoduo” and “Hao Xiaoxi” beforehand.

The two characters can be said to be “moving” and the other “quiet”.

Relatively speaking, the role of “Hao Xiaoxi” is easier to play, as you only need to stand there and perform.

However, in terms of the importance of the role, it is obvious that “Han Duoduo” has a more important role.

Because in the movie, “Han Duoduo” is the wife of “Liu Peiqiang” and the mother of “Liu Qi”, and the plot runs through the two movies.

Of course, heavy roles also mean heavy responsibilities.

Having worked with Fang Xing so many times, Lin Yingxue knew very well that taking on a heavy role would definitely have higher requirements.

She was mentally prepared and asked proactively: “Do you need to start fitness and training as soon as you decide to play ‘Han Duoduo’?”

Fang Xing nodded: “Because he is an astronaut, he must look like an astronaut and not be too weak.”

Lin Yingxue had already considered it before coming, nodded and replied: “I want to try ‘Han Duoduo’.”

In fact, Fang Xing guessed that she would audition for “Han Duoduo”.

After all, she is the female lead in this movie. If she plays the role well, the film resources will be opened up.

However, Fang Xing still made it clear first: “Don’t worry, there are still some things to communicate. In the movie, the character ‘Han Duoduo’ has short hair. She does not wear a hair condom, but actually cuts her hair short.”

Lin Yingxue nodded and agreed very simply: “Okay, my short hair is also very cool.”

As he spoke, he brushed his shawl hair with his hand and made a little joke.

Fang Xing pursed his lips and smiled: “Because the plot requires it, I have to shave my head later. This character died of illness, and chemotherapy will cause hair to fall out, so I basically have to shave it off.”

Lin Yingxue’s expression froze when she heard this.

But he quickly nodded and agreed: “Okay, just shave it off.”

Today’s wigs are very delicately made. They have to be cut short anyway, which is not much different from shaving. The hair will grow back in a month at most.

Seeing that she agreed, Fang Xing took out a page of the script, handed it over and said, “Then play this part. You are a female astronaut who is attacked by rebels on the space elevator.

“Before the attack, ‘Liu Peiqiang’ held a rose and wanted to express his love to you.

“When you two were doing space training, you both had a crush on each other, and you just needed to confess your feelings.

“However, as soon as ‘Liu Peiqiang’ took out the roses, the rebel attack began.

“You’ve been through a big fight.

“You put a mechanical arm on your right hand and punched away the big guys in the rebel army. It’s very powerful.

“While everyone was staring blankly, you urged ‘Liu Peiqiang’ to hand you the rose quickly.”

After Lin Yingxue read the script, she felt that the scene was not difficult.

In fact, this is a comedy-style play.

A three-hour movie cannot keep the audience immersed in a serious atmosphere, which would make the viewing experience much worse.

Therefore, occasionally a few jokes are needed to lighten the mood.

After Lin Yingxue read the script, she gestured with her left hand on her right arm: “The robotic arm is very heavy, isn’t it?”

Fang Xing actually hadn’t thought about the exact weight of the robotic arm, but that wasn’t important, so he casually replied: “Just think of it as a hundred pounds.”

Lin Yingxue’s eyes widened, as if a 100-pound iron lump suddenly appeared on her right hand. Her whole body tilted, and her right hand was directly supported on the ground, as if she was unable to move due to the weight.

She placed her right hand on the ground and hooked her left hand towards Fang Xing: “Give me the flowers quickly!”

After watching it, Fang Xing found that she also maintained a beautiful posture when performing this part.

After all, she is a popular first-line actress, and she really has a good handle on her figure.

A producer of a film and television drama once said that even if an actress is crying in a scene, she must cry beautifully, otherwise it will not be an effective crying scene.

In fact, not just crying scenes, but any scene needs beauty.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, “Try to be more silly and like a tomboy. Astronauts should be more realistic.”

Lin Yingxue thought for a moment, squatted directly on the ground, put her right hand on the ground into a fist, panted heavily, stretched out her hand and waved to Fang Xing: “Give me the flowers quickly!”

Fang Xing thought about it and said, “Stand up, lift your hair, and expose your forehead.”

Lin Yingxue did as she was told, stroking her bangs to the top of her head with both hands and grabbing her hair to expose her forehead.

After reading it, Fang Xing nodded and said, “Okay, if you think about it, hurry up and start training immediately. There are only less than two months left.”

Lin Yingxue immediately became happy when she heard this: “No problem, I have a schedule.”

Since the launch of the official announcement project of “The Wandering Earth 2”, she has not taken on other film and television projects, only business activities.

The schedule of business activities is flexible and does not affect training.

…

We had cooperated before, and Fang Xing had shares in Lin Yingxue Studio, so it was relatively easy to finalize the contract.

If the schedule matches, the contract can be signed.

After finalizing the actor for “Han Duoduo”, there is still an important female role “Hao Xiaoxi” that needs to be auditioned.

Regarding the casting of “Hao Xiaoxi”, Fang Xing already has a candidate, but it requires an audition.

This time we plan to use the company’s artist An Xiaoran.

After An Xiaoran graduated from the acting major, she signed with Ark Culture and filmed some TV series, but relatively few movies.

She first debuted as a teenager playing the heroine of “Dark Glory”. She started from a high starting point and developed very well.

Later, she played the role of “Sheng Rulan” in “Do You Know” and was very popular.

After that, I filmed several costume dramas, and the results were good. I was considered to be a minor celebrity, but I was still far from the top.

After all, the role she played is incomparable to Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue debuted in “Wulin Gaiden”, and then she became the heroine of hit dramas all the way.

An Xiaoran went to study acting after graduating from Normal College, but her development speed was far less rapid than Lin Yingxue.

Therefore, An Xiaoran is now a second-tier actor. After several years of practice, he has gained acting experience.

Fang Xing plans to audition to see if she can be on the big screen.

Auditions for the company’s artists are scheduled separately on one day.

Since I am an artist of the company, I will have more requirements during the audition.

When the crew notified An Xiaoran to come for the audition, they also mentioned that she should turn professional and audition in formal attire.

Because the role of “Hao Xiaoxi” is an official spokesperson. To speak in front of the media on behalf of the country, the dress needs to be very formal.

Of course, in the movie “Hao Xiaoxi” is a newcomer who was brought up by “Zhou Zhezhi”.

Therefore, “Hao Xiaoxi” can be more immature in the role of spokesperson, so that he can show changes in growth.

The day of the audition.

An Xiaoran came to the audition room wearing professional formal attire, and her hair was tied neatly.

Her undergraduate degree was from a normal university, so she had actually rehearsed her speech on stage.

After Fang Xing read the image, he nodded and said, “It’s not bad, let’s do two scenes and see.”

An Xiaoran took the script and tried two scenes, but there was no problem.

After all, this role does not require a lot of emotional fluctuations. As long as the image fits the role, there will not be much problem with the performance.

…

After the two female characters were finalized, Ark Culture officially announced the cast according to the process.

Lin Yingxue plays “Han Duoduo” and An Xiaoran plays “Hao Xiaoxi”.

As soon as this entertainment news came out, it became a hot search again.

After all, Lin Yingxue and An Xiaoran are both very popular, especially Lin Yingxue, who is a very popular first-line actress and her salary is already the ceiling among actresses.

Moreover, the two people have another gimmick, that is, they will collaborate again after “Know or Not”.

In “Know or Not”, Lin Yingxue plays “Sheng Minglan” and An Xiaoran plays “Sheng Rulan”. The two are sisters.

Lin Yingxue even won the Best Actress Award at the Gladiolus Award for her role as “Sheng Minglan”.

This time, two people appear in the same work again.

Moreover, “Do You Know” has a very good long-term effect. Even though it has been broadcast for three or four years, the number of views is still among the highest among old dramas.

【Second cooperation, I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed watching “Knowledge” so much. 】

Of course, there are also many skeptical voices:

[Han Duoduo is said to be an astronaut in the movie, does Lin Yingxue look like an astronaut? 】

[These two TV series are okay, but is it really okay to act in movies? 】

[Although Lin Yingxue has acted in “Infernal Affairs”, her role is no different from a guest appearance. Can she really act in a movie? 】

[An Xiaoran has never acted in a movie, so if she directly takes on such an important role, it won’t be a trap, right? 】

[The image of an astronaut in my mind is definitely not like Lin Yingxue. 】

[I feel like the movie wants to distort the image of astronauts. If that were the case, this movie would be unwatchable. 】

After similar doubts appeared, some people began to maliciously hype this topic.

Lin Yingxue’s studio paid great attention to public opinion and dealt with the doubts as soon as they appeared.

The studio’s official Weibo posted a video of Lin Yingxue lifting irons in the gym, with sweat all over her forehead.

Moreover, she has cut her hair short to adapt to the role in advance.

There is a text below the video, starting training for “The Wandering Earth 2”.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shattered the malicious hype.

Netizens are still very objective, and the discussion content is beginning to be more positive:

[Okay, at least the attitude is good, the hair is cut, and the training is serious. 】

[I cut my hair before I even joined the cast. I agree with this attitude and hope that I won’t act like that in the movie. 】

…

the other side.

Fang Xing communicated with his superiors and applied for the use of some of the country’s most important weapons in the movie.

Because there is an aerial combat scene in “The Wandering Earth 2”, a fighter jet needs to appear.

If possible, Fang Xing would of course hope that China’s most advanced fighter jet, the J20, would appear in the movie.

However, J20 is really not something that anyone can use if they want. It needs to be reviewed by the superior department.

As for whether we can finally get permission to use the image of J20 in the movie, it’s hard to say.

The film project has already started and cannot be stopped because of this incident.

While the crew is submitting applications to higher authorities, they are also arranging backup plans.

If the higher authorities do not allow the J20 to appear in the movie, then other fighter solutions will need to be used.

Not only J20, but also Dongfeng Express and many military equipment need to apply to higher authorities.

The crew also arranged backup plans.

After all, it is a science fiction film. If the higher authorities do not allow the use of existing images of military equipment, then draw a science fiction fighter jet.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

Two months after the preparation of “The Wandering Earth 2”, the superior department approved the application, allowing the film to use the image of the country’s military equipment.

After all, “The Wandering Earth 1” has achieved leading results and has been praised by the official media. It also proposed the concept of “a community with a shared future for mankind”, and its value orientation is positive.

Therefore, “The Wandering Earth 2” applied to use the image of the country’s military equipment and received permission.

Of course, after the film is produced, it must be reviewed by the superior department. If the produced effect is not good, it may still be sent back for revision.
