The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 261 "My Uncle" Actress
Yanjing in February is still very cold.

The sky was gloomy and the wind was howling, and it seemed that a new round of cold air was coming.

Li Shengyao stood in the office of Fenghua Film and Television Company, quietly looking out the window.

After the Lunar New Year, he returned to Yanjing with Chen Xun on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Xun had to rest for a while, and he went to work.

The main thing is to first determine the male and female protagonists of "My Uncle".

And today, he will meet the heroine he envisions in the company.

"Boss, she's here."

The assistant knocked on the door to remind the person who was waiting today to come.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Let her in."

A girl walked into the office with her eyes wide open, full of anticipation, "Hi director, we meet again."

This girl grew up fairly well, compared to the neighbors, she is the little aunt Deng Jiajia.

When filming "Signal" before, the two had collaborated. More than two years later, Deng Jiajia was 20 years old and entered.Studying in the Acting Department of Communication University.

Regarding the appearance of the heroine, in the plot of the Korean version of "My Uncle", there is actually a faint introduction.

When the uncle saw the heroine for the first time, he thought the girl was pretty.

Later, the uncle and the heroine were secretly photographed, and the villain wanted to use the ambiguous photos of the two to frame the uncle as having an affair with the heroine, but the people in the company did not believe it.

At that time, someone said about the heroine, "Fortunately, you are not very beautiful, and no one believes that he will cheat on you."

Through these two plots, we can know that the heroine looks good, but not very beautiful, about [-] or so.

The Korean version chooses IU, which is really a good choice.

Later, a remake was planned in Mainland China. It is said that Zhang Zifeng was chosen as the heroine. Li Shengyao felt that the casting was actually not bad.

Zhang Zifeng is the kind of girl who is seventy percent.

According to this appearance condition, the scope of looking for young girls can be narrowed down a lot.

The heroine in "My Uncle" is set to be in her early twenties, and IU was 25 years old when she played the role.

The actress Li Shengyao was looking for was between 25 and [-] years old.

From this point of time, it means looking for an actress seven or eight years later.

After thinking about it, he found that the female stars he knew were all too beautiful in this age group.

He gradually raised it from [-] to [-], and finally thought of Deng Jiajia.

However, even though Deng Jiajia's appearance fits well, and in his previous life, he later won the actress, but at this time, whether he can play this role well, Li Shengyao is not sure.

The heroine of "My Uncle" was originally a very sad person.

Her father was a bad gambler, not only died a long time ago, but also owed a whole body of debts.

Her grandma was paralyzed in bed.

Under such family conditions, the heroine went out after graduating from high school. In order to provide a better life for her grandma and pay off her debts, she worked three or four jobs a day.

But she doesn't have a diploma, and ordinary jobs require lower wages.

She is a short-term worker. Under such circumstances, she is in poor health, with a pale face and a thin body.

In order not to be bullied, she armed herself with spikes all over her body, and was indifferent and contemptuous to other people, very rude.

But later she met the uncle, and was gradually moved by his quality, and began to try to seriously accept her own imperfection and accept the world.

The transformation is very subtle and subtle in the plot.

In a total of [-] episodes of the TV series, there will be a change of mentality in almost two or three episodes.

It is not easy to play this role well.

Here I have to praise the casting of "My Uncle".

In Lee Sung Yew's remakes of Korean dramas, except for "Signal" where the heroine was poorly chosen, the big eyes with wide open corners were very good, and the Korean versions of other dramas have very good heroine choices.

It is said that after the "My Uncle" project was confirmed, many Korean entertainment actresses went to audition, including Lim Yoona and Park Shin Hye.

Park Shin Hye has acted in several popular Korean dramas such as "The Heirs" and "So Beautiful".

But the director of the Korean version did not choose them, but chose IU who was a singer.

Although IU was born as a singer, the acting training she received since she was a child is far inferior to that of Lin Yoona and Park Shin Hye, but her acting talent is indeed higher than that of Lin YoonA and Park Shin Hye.

Until Lee Seung Yew crossed over, Lin Yuner was just a vase, and Park Shin Hye seemed to have retired after marriage.

Yoona Lin starred in "Extreme Escape", which broke the box office record of the peninsula.

But no one in the peninsula thinks that she is out of the circle, no one thinks that her acting skills have improved, she is still a vase.

And IU has been able to play the leading role alone, "Hotel Del Luna" is basically her solo show.

The male lead of the Korean version of "My Uncle" is Li Shanjun, the male host of the villa in "Parasite", and he is a powerful actor in the peninsula.

IU played against him, and he didn't lose the slightest bit.

Later, IU also acted in "Broker", and the director of this film is Hirokazu Kore-eda, a film master who can still work in the island country.

It can be said that she has become a real actress.

When Li Shengyao met Deng Jiajia today, he was not only asking her to sign with Fenghua, but more importantly, he wanted to make a point, trying to make Deng Jiajia feel like the heroine of "My Uncle" in a short period of time.

"Have you signed a contract?"

"Just signed."

Deng Jiajia has already acted in several plays, all of which are not very important roles, and no agency is looking for her for the time being.

Just the day before yesterday, she suddenly received a call from Fenghua Film and Television Company, asking if she was interested in joining Fenghua.

She was naturally interested and excitedly expressed that she could go anytime.

So she flew overnight from her hometown to Yanjing, rested for a night, and came here today.

Just after signing the contract, she felt like she was dreaming. Now she looked at Li Shengyao, and she was sure it was real.

"Okay, I want to use you as the heroine in my next play."

When Deng Jiajia heard this, she almost screamed.

Fortunately, she knew that it was not suitable now, and Director Li was sitting opposite.

"However, this role is not very easy to play. I will give you the script now, and then you have to study it carefully. I will check it in half a month. If you can't satisfy me, I will replace it."

Deng Jiajia nodded hastily, "Don't worry, the director, I will definitely prepare well."

Li Shengyao smiled and did not answer. He looked at Deng Jiajia silently for about two or three seconds, "Recently read the script carefully. If you don't understand, you can ask your teacher or me."

"Yes, yes, I will study it seriously."

"The last point, eat less recently. The heroine Li Xiaoan is set as a girl who grew up in a miserable environment. Her face has no flesh."

The heroine of the Korean version is called Li Zhian, and the mainland version of Li Shengyao was changed to Li Xiaoan.

Deng Jiajia didn't dare to think too much, and nodded repeatedly, expressing that he would definitely follow Li Shengyao's orders.

The attitude is not bad, Li Shengyao smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "I will go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, and find an actor to play the leading actor. If you can't act well, it will be very bad in comparison, but if you can act well, it will be good for you in the future." There will be a major improvement in the way of interpretation."
