Chapter 703 Casting, Fighters in the Movie(1/2)
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 wait for you. There are a lot of activities these days. 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, the 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 also 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 Zi'ang", 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 the role of "Han Duoduo" is more important.
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, a heavy role also means a heavy responsibility.
Having worked with Fang Xing so many times, Lin Yingxue knew very well that if she took on a heavy role, she 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 performs well, the movie 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."
When Lin Yingxue heard this, her expression froze.
But he quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, just shave it off."
Today's wigs are very exquisitely made, and they have to be cut short anyway, which is not much different from shaving them. 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 a part where 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 war.
"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 will make the viewing experience much worse.
Therefore, some jokes are occasionally needed to adjust the atmosphere.
After Lin Yingxue read the script, she gestured with her left hand on her right arm: "The robotic arm is heavy, isn't it?"
Fang Xing actually hadn't thought about the exact weight of the robotic arm, but it wasn't important, so he casually replied: "Just think of it as a hundred pounds."
Lin Yingxue's eyes widened, as if there was suddenly a 100-pound iron lump 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 a little more silly and look 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, you can quickly schedule a schedule and start training immediately. There is 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 time arrangement of business activities is relatively flexible and does not affect training.
…
We have worked together before, and Fang Xing has shares in Lin Yingxue Studio, so finalizing the contract is relatively simple.
Once 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 became 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 away from being a top-tier actress.
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, and her development speed was far less rapid than Lin Yingxue.
Therefore, An Xiaoran is now a second-tier actor. After several years of practice, she has gained acting experience.
Fang Xing plans to audition to see if she can be on the big screen.
