But Jin Xishan immediately changed the topic, "My godmother called me last night and asked us to go over for lunch today! Her new home has been fully decorated, and I heard that there are many outsiders here. What my godmother means is those people." They’re all here for your movie!”
The movie that Liu Qingshan is going to shoot is "Let the Bullets Fly". Hong Kong's Zhou Renfa arrived in Kyoto a week ago and is now living in the home of another leading actor, Ge You.
Ge You has a good relationship with Zhongyi. Most of these people are related to Zhongyi. If they can't seek a role through the company, they will naturally find Gu Yun. Who knows that he doesn't have a fixed network of connections in the film and television industry.
Zhang Beard is one, but he is a professional TV drama director, and most of the big movie stars Liu Qingshan has come into contact with before are from Xiangjiang.
"You will go over there in a moment. I need to make a few calls to confirm the specific candidates. Although several main supporting roles have been confirmed, this is my first time as a director and I only want to use some people I am familiar with!"
Jin Xishan understood his difficulties very well. As soon as his husband made his debut, he went to Hong Kong to film. Even when he returned to the mainland to shoot a film invested by Hong Kong, he rarely came into contact with mainland actors.
Liu Qingshan decided on the other two leading actors in "Let the Bullets Fly" early on, and he even decided on several major supporting roles in advance.
The person who plays the county magistrate's wife is still Liu Jialing in the original version, and Hua Jie, Hu Wan, Lao Er, Hu Qian, Lao San, Lao Si, Lao Wu, Lao Qi, and Wu Juren are also the same people, namely Zhou Yun and Chen Kun. , Shaobing, Yao Lu, Liao Fang, Du Yiheng, Li Jing, Wei Xiao and Jiang Wu.
Only the character of Lao Liu was replaced by Chen Zuming. Although this character died early, it left a very deep impression on the audience.
In the social life of modern adults, it is actually extremely difficult to be believed, especially when it comes to one's own interests.
Of course, there is also a strange phenomenon on the Internet that many people are willing to believe in many things that have nothing to do with them, and they also want to express their own opinions and appear to have great ideas, but in fact the comments they make are just clichés.
In his previous image, Chen Zuming was the most frequently seen figure in this online phenomenon, and most of it was negative.
Liu Qingshan's intention to let him play such a role is already changing people's old impressions.
Although in this life Chen Zuming has not yet had an incident that ruined his reputation, rumors about his willingness to go to some nightclubs are still very common.
Moreover, many news reports are not just literal narratives, but also supported by various clear-quality photos.
He explained this reason to Chen Zuming. Later, not only him, but also Chen Long also thought it was necessary.
Moreover, Chen Zuming not only has a supporting role in this film, he is also the representative of the investor, and the representative is Yang Wancheng of Qinghuang Pictures.
Therefore, he also has the title of supervisor. This kind of supervisor does not do nothing, but is responsible for managing the filming funds, reviewing the filming expenses and controlling the entire filming process.
This position is assigned by the producer and the legal person of the production company. He is responsible for the total budget of the film crew and the preparation of the specific shooting schedule of the film. He supervises the director's artistic creation and financial expenditure on behalf of the producer, and also assists the director in arranging specific arrangements. daily affairs.
Therefore, Chen Zuming has a heavy burden, and it is also an on-site internship for himself to make independent films in the future. It comes from Chen Long's personal instructions, so it is in line with Chen Zuming's personal wishes.
Liu Qingshan currently has a few roles that have not yet been decided, but he will be a character who leaves a deep impression on people, just to cope with various relationships in the circle.
Ordinary movies don't require such thorough consideration, but the fact that this movie was directed by him was a major event, and he had to think more comprehensively.
These roles include fake Zhang Mazi, Master Tang, and Ma Bangde’s ex-wife. Other small roles were recommended by other actors and have been implemented so far.
Liu Qingshan arrived a little later because he wanted to confirm the three guest actors in the original version. If any of them couldn't appear, he could talk about it at the dinner table.
As expected, among the three people, he only contacted Feng Zhigang. This person also had a close relationship with Zhongyi, but he was also independent of the Wang brothers. It would be more accurate to say that he cooperated closely.
After receiving a call from Liu Qingshan, this famous mainland director did not hesitate at all, and what he said was very consistent with his usual personality: "Okay, Shanzi, you are going to be a director. Will you compete with me for food in the future?"
"I don't dare to compete with you for food. Mainly because of my size, there are too few female stars who can play with me. So if I don't produce it myself, I'm afraid I won't get many scenes!"
"That's the truth. You told me how tall you are. In the blink of an eye, you have to run two meters up. It's really hard to match such a big man! I didn't say, you have to support me when you think of me, but we can agree in advance Now, if my brother needs you in the future, don’t be vague!"
"That's for sure. As long as Brother Gang says hello, you will have to crawl back quickly even if you are far away from overseas!"
"Hahaha, I love hearing this! I'll give you a text message later. That's my agent's phone number. Just tell her the specific time and place!"
The number of another Hu Jun was also dialed, but he happened to be filming in the crew and obviously he would not be able to come back in the past two months.
As for Miao Pu, the original actor who played Ma Bond's ex-wife, he applied to several people but failed to get in touch, so he had no choice but to give up.
When he arrived at Gu Yun's house, he saw a room full of people. Except for a few of her students whom he knew, the rest just looked familiar and had no chance to get acquainted before.
But even among those students, he also saw the figure that he had always disliked. However, Master Gu Yun had good intentions, and he did not care about this person's appearance.
Although others are unfamiliar, they are all well-known actors, such as Chen Baoguo, Li Youbin, Du Guozhi, Du Chun and his son, Zhang Hanyu, Liao Fang, An Yixuan, who are all famous figures.
Of course, these people are not all here for his movie. There are many people who take this opportunity to become familiar with him.
Moreover, they are all very familiar with Gu Yun, otherwise they would not appear here for no reason.
The artist circle in Kyoto seems to be huge, but in fact it is just that. Most of them are old faces that you never see when you look up. If you count carefully, the interweaving of various relationships can always lead to some connections.
Although Gu Yun is not an actor, she has composed music for more than a hundred film and television dramas. This is how we got to know these people, and there are so many famous students who help match them.
However, these people today were not invited by her, but were actively recruited by borrowing the name of her new home, even though Master Gu knew it well.
After Liu Qingshan showed up, he kept visiting everywhere. Three large round tables were placed in the huge living room. If you didn't take the initiative to go up, you couldn't hear what the other party was saying in the chaos.
In fact, the food was purchased nearby. This new house was bought by his son Qiu Ai a few years ago. It is a two-story duplex. It has been renovated in the past two years, so it can be seen that the area is still quite large.
Liu Qingshan was arranged to sit at the same table with Chen Baoguo, Li Youbin, and Du Guozhi, and several veteran actors, while Jin Xishan stayed at Gu Yun's side because there were only women at that table.
There were several other students at the table, including Sun Nan and Liu Huan, so there was no sense of unfamiliarity when communicating.
Chen Baoguo and Li Youbin are both second-generation actors in the acting profession. They have won numerous awards at a young age, but when it comes to becoming popular, the former is even better with his work "The Mansion Gate" four years ago.
And Li Youbin belongs to the elderly Beijing drifters. After he made a movie "Turn Out of the Sky" in 2000 and won the award, he gradually moved his career from his hometown of Changchun to Kyoto.
He looks relatively older. Compared to Chen Baoguo, who is two years older than him, he seems to be eight or nine years older, and is often teased for this.
But Liu Qingshan has been thinking about him for a long time, and even has a script in his hand prepared for him.
Later, after we gradually became familiar with each other, he brought up this topic: "Brother Bin, I have been looking for someone to get to know you for a long time, because I currently have a script in my hand, and the protagonist in it has a lot of your shadow!"
The surrounding suddenly became quiet. The main purpose of their coming was not to establish some friendship with Liu Qingshan, but it had nothing to do with following the trend. The actor wanted a good script, and the singer wanted a high-quality new song. Nothing to be ashamed of.
A large part of Liu Qingshan's current fame comes from his abilities in these two areas. Moreover, his works have become popular overseas, and his movie scripts have gained a firm foothold in Hollywood.
But compared to the shock and jealousy on other people's faces, Li Youbin was so excited by the surprise that he almost jumped up.
However, Liu Qingshan did not leave him any time to speak: "This is a war TV series called "Bright Sword". The content of the story is about the legendary life of the outstanding general Li Yunlong, who served as an independent soldier in the Eighth Route Army. The regiment commander led his troops to bravely fight against the Japanese invaders in northwestern Shanxi until he was awarded the title of general in 1955."
At this time, Li Youbin had the opportunity to interject: "Does the protagonist of the story have a prototype?"
"Yes, but for some reason, the entire plot can only end in 1955. Although similar themes are not new, the protagonist's character is more full-bodied, or in other words, while he is brave and capable in fighting and has many footprints, he also exposes It shows a lot of the rude side of his character, and he makes as many meritorious deeds as he makes mistakes, which is very different from previous anti-war and heroism-themed dramas!"
"Haha, actually this description is more realistic. I have met many revolutionaries of the older generation. They also have the same emotions and desires as ordinary people, they also make mistakes, and they are also afraid when facing death!"
"This male protagonist is a complete mud-legged person. He doesn't wash his feet when he sleeps. His snoring can be heard outside the house at night. Of course, he has no education, but he is rough and fine. He has military strategy, can lead troops, and can fight. But he is Because I have truly reproduced his unknown side, I need to be extra cautious and not rush into it! So I want you to take the script and go to the older generation who came from that era to review the plot!"
