Two hundred and fifty-ninth chapter reasons for casting
Although choosing Ren Dahua as the male lead in the new movie is to have a good relationship with Ren Darong, the main reason is that Ren Darong is suitable for him, which is secondary to the fact that Ren Darong owes favors.
Qiao Feng was good at the movies played by Ren Dahua in young hands because he played very special roles, such as dancers, homosexuals, gangsters, or the protagonists of the porn movies. This is also the reason why Ren Dahua developed in the 1970s and 1980s.
Of course, if you develop well, you won’t play these roles anymore. Maybe it’s because he is too dark.
However, Qiao Feng has watched a lot of the roles and movies that Ren Dahua played when he got older.
Ren Dahua is tall and has a good figure, and he is completely like a model. Of course, although he graduated from the wireless training class at the beginning, he was the first to enter the entertainment industry as a model. It was the next thing to do in the wireless training class.
When people reach middle age, it should be sunset, but Ren Dahua is late to become a big shot. The older he is, the more interesting he is. He is very domineering in playing the gangster boss, and he is righteous in playing the policeman. He really acts like whatever he plays.
Qiao Feng really watched too many classic movies from Ren Dahua. Especially after collaborating with Du Qifeng's Galaxy Image, the films of Longcheng Years, Ptu, underworld, underworld, and gunfire are all quite classic movies.
Although people become really popular only when they are middle-aged, it does not mean that Ren Dahua only gained the clue after middle-aged and gained the ability to become a good actor.
He graduated from the wireless training class in more than seven years, and then acted in TV and movies, so he had already honed his acting skills, otherwise so many film companies wouldn't have asked him to play those special roles.
Although those characters don’t sound nice, they are the ones who hone their acting skills the most. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many films produced by independent production companies in the United States, which won’t be so many acting awards.
In Hollywood, independent movies mean niche and acting. It does not mean that mainstream movies do not require acting skills and cannot hone their acting skills. It is relatively common. Independent movies and niche movies will be easier to practice acting skills.
Just like King of Sunglasses, his movies can never be said to be popular. Only art film lovers will like his movies, and his movies are the easiest to hone their acting skills. Because a movie has been tormenting you for several years, a fool can even become the best actor.
So Liang Chaowei, who made his movie, won five actors at the Hong Kong Film Awards and three actors at the Golden Horse Awards, and were the record holders of these two awards.
As a commercial movie, the bodyguard does not have too high requirements for acting, but compared to the heroine who lets someone like Ye Qianwen play a singer who is more than an actor, the hero has higher requirements for acting, and he needs to find someone with good acting skills to play.
Maybe it was the bodyguard played by Kevin Costner who impressed Qiao Feng too deeply. When looking for the male lead, Qiao Feng followed his template to find him.
Although Ye Qianwen wanted Qiao Feng to play the male lead, Qiao Feng was also moved for a moment, but then Qiao Feng suppressed this idea. Qiao Feng knew that he was not suitable to play this role, so it was okay to let him play a pure commercial film, and playing such a role that requires acting is definitely a disaster.
Another thing is that he is not suitable for his age, and this character needs to be older, because the identity setting inside is a person with many years of security experience and a former bodyguard of a senior official.
Everyone knows that the bodyguards around the high-ranking officials are all tall and sturdy. Qiao Feng is in his twenties and is so handsome, which is completely inappropriate.
I can't do it myself. Qiao Feng searched a circle among Hong Kong male actors and found that he couldn't find a suitable one. Either he was not good at height or his acting skills were not good.
Especially his height, Ye Qianwen is 1.73 meters tall and taller. The male actor is at least seven or eight centimeters larger than Ye Qianwen, and about ten centimeters better. Otherwise, the male protagonist and the female protagonist stand together and the bodyguard will not be so starry.
There are not many Hong Kong male actors with such a person at this time, with their height, acting skills and appearance that are not in line with each other.
Later, after searching for him, Qiao Feng suddenly remembered that Ren Dahua was coming. Ren Dahua was 1.8 meters tall. Although he was only seven centimeters taller than Ye Qianwen, it was within an acceptable range.
Although he is dark, it doesn't matter. The original heroine can find a black man to play. What does Simon Dahua's darker skin count?
But at this time, Ren Dahua was a little thin, especially at his height of 1.8 meters, he was very thin, and he was not very convincing to play a bodyguard. As for the same sentence, Americans like muscular men, and even if they are not muscular men, they cannot be thinner.
Looking at American or North American movies, almost few particularly thin male actors can develop well, because the aesthetic tendency is to be strong and tough.
No matter how thin a person is, he can't look like a tough guy.
But if you lose weight, you can gain weight, so this is not a problem.
Ren Dahua needs to have a good figure and act, and he looks more in line with his appearance, especially when he has a short beard and then gains 20 or 30 kilograms, and he will have no problem playing a bodyguard.
Moreover, although Ren Dahua debuted for a long time, he had no box office results that were impressive. His fame was only average and his pay was low enough, which was also one aspect of Qiao Feng's choice.
So, after careful consideration, Qiao Feng chose Ren Dahua to play the male lead in the movie bodyguard, and by the way he was able to have a good relationship with Ren Darong. It was really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Just a few days after the release of Die Hard, the bodyguard crew had already been formed and started filming.
Although the story is basically copied from the original plot of the bodyguard, Qiao Feng was placed in Hong Kong this time, and the background is also a Hong Kong singer.
At first, Qiao Feng thought about taking photos in the United States, and the background character was all based on the original version, but later Ye Qianwen raised a question that made Qiao Feng find that it was difficult to copy and it was not in line with the actual situation.
That is the last killer assassination occasion. The original version was at the Academy Awards, which was the Academy Awards. At this time, it was a Hong Kong singer or Chinese singer who was at the Academy Awards ceremony and had to go to the stage. It was completely inconsistent with the actual situation. At this time, no Chinese singer had such influence to go up.
Don’t say that it’s hard to come later, so if you don’t want to change the plot, you can only change the right one and can get it.
Later, Qiao Feng felt that changing the plot was too troublesome, so it would be better to just change the background.
Anyway, there are also Film Awards in Hong Kong, so it’s better to set the background as Hong Kong. It makes sense that a female singer who grew up in a foreign country became popular in English songs.
Ye Shanwen is the happiest person to shoot in Hong Kong instead of in the United States, because she won’t have to separate from Qiao Feng for a long time and she will not have to suffer the pain of lovesickness.
