Chapter 1042 Actor Recruitment
This is not the first time He Ke has seen Yi Shuihan enter the play, but he is still somewhat amazed.

His appearance of being obsessed with acting is not the same as Cheng Dieyi's indifferent state in the play!

"Director He, what do you want from me?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile, but that smile carried a little of Cheng Dieyi's gentleness and calmness.

In order to ponder the role of Chen Dieyi, Yi Shuihan locked himself in the performance room, and has not paid attention to the studio and crew for a long time!
"The crew is already starting, I'm here to discuss with you about the actors!" He Ke said.

Yi Shuihan nodded, and replied, "The number of actors in this movie is a bit too much. What is the recruitment plan now?"

"I want to hear your opinion first, to see if our opinions are unified." He Ke said with a laugh.

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this movie, the time span is divided into four stages, namely childhood, youth, youth, and old age.

But actors at each stage need different traits and looks, take Cheng Dieyi as an example.

Cheng Dieyi was handsome, quiet, and stubborn when he was young. He longed for maternal love and resisted fate, but he could only passively accept fate. This gave rise to a new obsession, longing to be a man.

We can audition for the role of the young Cheng Dieyi, and this same group of young actors is also selected from the audition. "

He Ke nodded. This is very much in line with his wishes. In fact, children are more intelligent than adults in acting. As long as they choose carefully, he believes that they can find a suitable actor.

Yi Shuihan continued: "The young Cheng Dieyi longed to be a man, but his belief was shattered by the cruel reality. At that time, what he wanted was to sing with his brother for a lifetime.

At this time, Cheng Dieyi already needs a certain level of opera skills, and he still needs to experience the hardships and atmosphere of opera troupe training. I think the actors of the same period, including Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou...you can discuss it with Mr. Shang. Let's see if he can abduct a batch of Peking Opera seedlings..."

He Ke laughed out loud, unexpectedly Yi Shuihan had the same idea as him.

The so-called performance, the more realistic the performance is, the more successful it will be. Does anyone know Peking Opera better than the children who grew up in the Peking Opera Troupe...

Even if there is a slight flaw in the performance, as long as you are good at teaching ~, you will definitely be able to make people's eyes shine!
"Young Chen Dieyi, he longed to sing with his senior brother for a lifetime, but was played by reality again, collapsed and lost himself.

In his later years, he reunited with his senior brother and sang opera on the same stage—arousing the obsession of "a boy" and "wanting to sing well", and finally took the Overlord Sword and killed himself...

Both stages are played by me...

Having said that, let me expand and talk about the whole. In my opinion, this is a story of an individual fighting against fate. The core is about fate, which is the fate mentioned repeatedly in the film.

What a helpless and sad story! "Yi Shuihan sighed with emotion.

The more you study the role of Cheng Dieyi, the more you can feel the pain and helplessness in his heart. He has been resisting all his life, but fate has pushed him into an irreversible abyss.

"For the reason of these two periods, let's recruit in the circle... But there is one requirement, that is, I don't need fresh meat, everything is based on quality!" Jiang Yuanjin said softly.

"Well, I agree with your opinion, everyone in the circle is waiting for the news of our audition!" He Ke said with a laugh.

It's not that they are arrogant, the word-of-mouth and reputation of Yi Shuihan's studio, coupled with the appeal of him and Yi Shuihan, it's not bragging that most of the entertainment circle is looking forward to participating in the show.

"I'm afraid that after reading the script, most people will be scared away!" Jiang Yuanjin said with a light smile.

Movies with realistic themes like Farewell My Concubine, coupled with movies with suspected homosexual plots, may also make most interested actors retreat...

"Then they'll just wait and regret it!" He Ke also smiled knowingly, for this movie, he has the same confidence as Yi Shuihan!

"Then follow the process..." Jiang Yuanjin continued: "You can decide the other actors, but I hope that the actor of the adult Duan Xiaolou can catch my eye."

"Well, after all, it's a rivalry scene. The two characters had too much emotional interaction before, and the most important thing is to have feelings!" He Ke nodded and said.

The two characters Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou can be said to be the most soulful characters in this movie. The performance and interaction of these two characters can even affect the quality of the entire movie!
It is understandable for Yi Shuihan to make such a request, besides, he invested in this movie, if he wants to, he has the final say on which role to play!
He Ke still saw this very clearly.

"That's fine, then the recruitment of actors will be hard work for Director He!" Yi Shuihan thanked and said, "When the role of Duan Xiaolou auditions, please let me know!"

The two met this time, and they talked briefly for more than an hour, and then decided on the work arrangement for the next period of time.

Yi Shuihan continued to ponder and study the role of Cheng Dieyi, and He Ke also started recruiting actors in an all-round way.

It took him nearly half a month to finally select the most suitable candidate from thousands of children. When the little guy pursed his mouth, he looked delicate and stubborn.

In He Ke's words, it was a natural fit for him to play the role of the young Cheng Dieyi.

A group of actors such as the young Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou were personally invited by Mr. Shang Lao, a master of Peking Opera.

After hearing that they could appear on the big screen, almost everyone in the Peking Opera circle was excited, especially those young Peking Opera actors of the right age.

The decline of Peking Opera is a foregone conclusion. If it can go out of another way with the help of movies, it might not be a better attempt.

He Ke and Shang Huiqiu auditioned nearly ten young actors from Peking Opera troupes, and also selected the actor he wanted.

They all have a good foundation in Peking Opera, and they are even no worse than professional actors in performance!

This is also a normal thing. They train hard to perform on stage for the public.

In this regard, the two still have something in common!

As for the recruitment of adult roles, Yi Shuihan was sure enough. Many actors who happily accepted the audition invitation were a little embarrassed after reading the script.

There is no doubt that this script is a good script, but it is unknown whether a movie with such a theme and type can be accepted by the audience.

If it's just a box office loss, then that's not a big problem, but if it affects his future acting career because of some of the plots, then it's a big loss!
As a result, many actors retreated, either because they had no schedule, or because they were unable to handle it. In short, they tactfully declined the invitation to audition for "Farewell My Concubine".

As for what He Ke said before, they will regret it in the future, so far no one can say for sure.

But there are also many powerful actors who think this is an opportunity, and they even think that this movie may even become a classic. After all, in terms of the script, they have never even seen such a brilliant movie.

Actor auditions are also proceeding step by step.

Soon, the troupe master, Na Kun, eunuch Zhang, Xiao Si, Yuan Siye and other characters gradually took their place.

In the end, only the heavyweight role of Duan Xiaolou was left...
