Because "Mom Love Me Again", to be honest, it's a long time ago, and the acting and expression methods are completely different from this era.
Unlike "The Gift of Room No. 7", Li Yi only needs to directly reproduce it. It can be said that Hong Kong Island's exaggerated comedy style is somewhat similar to Xiao Han's comedy style.
Therefore, Li Yi did not need to make too many changes when filming "The Gift of Room No. 7".
But "Mom Love Me Again" is completely different.
It's impossible to copy it. The plot can be copied, but the environment, performance style, etc. cannot be copied.
at the same time.
In the waiting hall, many people came.
From the mainland, Li Tongzhou, Hu Yifei, and Xu Zhengrong are considered second-tier popular niche students.
In fact, many people don't understand why those niche actors who are very famous TV stars look up to emperors and queens, but they rarely act in movies.
Is it because of insufficient acting skills? Or not popular enough?
In fact, it is really not the case, but because of insufficient resources.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, their early TV drama resources were really abundant. They frequently produced high-quality dramas and produced many stars.
But what about the result?
Lao Hu, the first brother of the Tang Dynasty, has only been able to work in the drama industry, but his film resources are pitiful.
Because most of the film projects are either resources provided by some film and television companies to their own people, or they have a relationship with the director, or they are investors.
Otherwise, most of the time, reliable film resources will not be available to people like them.
Most of the projects that they can get are looked down upon by themselves.
The emergence of Li Yi can be said to be a "wild" director who has not yet been included in the traditional film circle. He has complete control over his movies. At the same time, the movies are invested by himself and his family, so he does not need to look at the investors. face.
Another thing is that Li Yi does not have any particularly extensive connections. In other words, when other directors make movies, there is no shortage of actors. Maybe the movie has been filled with people before the project is approved.
But Li Yi is different, they still have a chance.
In particular, this resource is the male protagonist.
It’s no wonder that a few of them rushed me to audition.
"Do you think our chances are good this time?" Li Tongzhou and the other two were also old acquaintances, so he didn't have so many worries when speaking and asked directly.
Hu Yifei shook his head and said: "Give it a try, at least give me a chance to audition. I only heard that the heroine has been pre-determined, and the male lead has been auditioned and selected, but Director Li is a director from Hong Kong after all..."
What Hu Yifei said was actually very clear. The reason why they came was just to give it a try. To be honest, he really didn't think there was much hope.
Although it is said to be an audition, he is the male protagonist after all, and Li Yi is a director from Hong Kong Island. Although he studied at the Beijing Film Academy, he is always a director from Hong Kong Island.
Although it has been many years since the return of Hong Kong Island and everyone is a compatriot, regional issues still exist.
"Isn't the heroine also from our mainland?" Xu Zhengrong interrupted at this time.
"I followed the path of Director Li's mother, Ms. Yi, so how can I compare?" Hu Yifei asked rhetorically.
Many things are really not secrets in the circle. For example, the fact that Wen Qing followed the path of Yi Lingling is basically open to the public.
At this time, someone came again.
When Li Tongzhou and the three of them saw the coming person, any expectations they had originally disappeared.
No one else, because the people who came had obvious advantages over the three of them.
The visitor is Wu Ting, a new generation flagship star promoted by Hong Kong Star.
Although Xu Zhengrong, Li Tongzhou, and Hu Yifei are considered popular in the mainland, each of them has also appeared in popular TV series.
Among the young male actors in the mainland, he is considered pretty good.
In particular, Li Tongzhou and Hu Yifei are both graduates of the China Maritime Academy of Drama.
But it also depends on who you compare with. Although in recent years it is no longer like in the early years, the popular actors from the mainland can only play supporting roles for newcomers from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan. But to be honest, actors from Hong Kong Island are better than actors from the mainland. , their resources really are much more.
Wu Ting is not a newcomer, on the contrary, relying on the resources of Hong Kong stars, Wu Ting has starred in many movie roles, many of which are male protagonists.
Therefore, it can be said that Wu Ting really beat Li Tongzhou and the other three in terms of celebrity status.
It can be said that Wu Ting is determined to win the leading role in the movie "Mom Love Me Again".
Because not only does he have a higher status than others, but more importantly, he knows some relevant content of this movie in advance.
At the same time, he has Hong Kong Star behind him. Although the cooperation between Hong Kong Star and Li Yi has not been reached yet, with the recommendation of Hong Kong Star, in his opinion, Li Yi should know how to choose.
Therefore, Wu Ting was not surprised when he saw Li Tongzhou and others, nor did he take them seriously.
Before coming, he also analyzed his strengths with his agent.
First of all, although Li Yi has had a successful work, it is still difficult to really hire any top or first-line stars to play the role.
And as long as he is not on the front line, then Wu Ting is really worth his salt.
Secondly, Wu Ting was not only recommended by Hong Kong stars, but also had a relationship with Li Zhenye.
Wu Ting's father was an actor of the same generation as Li Zhenye, and they had some friendship. His father also said hello to Li Zhenye.
Therefore, in terms of relationship distance, Wu Ting feels that the same people are much closer than these people.
Finally, Wu Ting is a young star of the new generation in Hong Kong, and Li Yi is also a young director of the new generation in Hong Kong. The two are naturally from each other.
There's no reason to use outsiders and not your own people, right?
Wu Ting is not the only one who thinks so. In fact, most people, including Zhuo Yixiong, also think so.
The first audition was for the role of the childhood version of Lin Zhiqiang. In fact, in terms of role, the childhood version of Lin Zhiqiang was the real leading actor.
There are not many child actors, and "Mom Love Me Again" has very high requirements for actors, so not many people came to audition this time.
"It's time to start!" Li Yi gave the order.
Soon, staff started calling for people.
There was a knock on the door outside.
A middle-aged woman came in with a little boy.
"Hello, three teachers. I am Yu Binbin. I am six years old and I am here to audition for the role of Lin Zhiqiang."
What surprised Li Yi and the others was that the woman who accompanied Yu Binbin, who should be his mother, did not speak. Instead, Yu Binbin introduced himself like a young adult.
Yu Binbin is not a newcomer. Although he is only six years old, he debuted earlier than Li Yidu. He started acting when he was still a baby.
"Now, you have to be separated from your mother. You are very reluctant to let go. Come and act." Auditions for child actors are actually completely different from auditions for adults.
Li Yi directly asked him to start the performance, mainly because, despite his young age, Yu Binbin was a "senior" and no stranger to acting.
However, what Li Yi is particularly satisfied with is that although Yu Binbin is from Hong Kong, he speaks Mandarin fluently. For this reason alone, he is honestly much better than many Hong Kong actors.
