The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 290
Sichuan Province is also very hot in July, the air seems to have been burnt, and there is often a special burnt smell.

On the outskirts of Rongcheng, a small car was running fast, and Li Shengyao and his assistant were sitting in it.

He searched around and arranged for several actresses to audition, but he still couldn't find a satisfactory heroine.

The only thing that is certain is the female number three, who is the third daughter of the male protagonist. The scenes of this role are pitifully small, at most seven or eight minutes.

Li Shengyao planned to act for Liu Shishi.

In fact, Liu Shishi was not called "Blind Sister" in his early acting. On the contrary, he was very popular with the audience and had a good reputation.

"Weird Hero Yizhimei" is especially popular. She has good skills and is very suitable for playing that kind of free and easy role.

It was only later that it became popular, and she started to play the heroine with a gentle personality, and she gradually got the nickname of "Blind Sister".

Liu Shishi was naturally very happy, and started boxing training after signing the contract.

Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are quite similar in this aspect. The audience does not recognize their acting skills, but the two of them like acting very much, and they are more focused on preparation.

Lee Sung Yew likes serious actors.

Although only a small role has been confirmed, it is always a good start.

And when he came to Rongcheng this time, he finally thought of a person who might be suitable after thousands of choices.

This person is Lei Min, the deputy director of the first team of the Sichuan Provincial No. [-] Police Corps.

Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with this name, or they may think that he is a deputy director, how can he act in a play.

In fact, our Guo Jia is not so closed, on the contrary, we are very accommodating in this regard.

It's like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms used real troops, and the heroes also used the military. Wu Jing later went to the military to train, and like some movies, he even got strong support from the military.

This is the confident army, they are not stage frightened, they are not shy about showing themselves.

Lei Min started serving as a soldier at the age of 16. She is vigorous, diligent and studious, and has the title of China's number one policewoman.

She climbed five floors with bare hands in 57 seconds, until Li Shengyao passed through, it is still a record exclusive to her.

In [-], she starred in the TV series "Women's Special Police Team", and then performed in "My Heart Is Flying", "Huaxia Overlord Flower", and "Camouflage Tianbing".

As long as the subject matter is positive, the higher ups will not stop people like Lei Min from filming.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Lei Min would later participate in a variety show on Shonan Satellite TV, and she was the female instructor who fought Gazi.

Lei Min has practiced martial arts since childhood, so there is absolutely no need to worry about her skills. After two months of practice, she should be able to act as a female boxer.

The only thing that worries Li Shengyao is whether she will look too old now.

Li Shengyao originally chose an actor who was born after the Seventh Five-Year Plan, because he was worried that actresses before this age group would look too old and not suitable for playing the lead actor's eldest daughter.

After all, according to the setting in the plot, the eldest daughter is only in her early twenties, at most 23 or [-] years old.

If Lei Min looks old at this time, there is no way to act, and Li Shengyao needs to look for it again.

Lei Min was born in 30 and is just [-] years old this year.

For an actress in the entertainment industry, it is normal for a 30-year-old to play a role in her early twenties, and she will not look old.

But Lei Min is not an insider after all, she has to train, and she is exposed to wind and sun, so naturally she cannot be compared with female stars.

That's what worries him.

Ten minutes later, Li Shengyao and the others arrived at their destination, which was the training base of the first team of the Sichuan Provincial No. 10 Police Corps.

At this time, the sun was scorching like fire, but there were still loud shouts in the training base.

Such weather training must be very hard.

Sitting in the reception room, Li Shengyao was worried that this trip was for nothing.

At this moment, there was a sound of loud and orderly footsteps, and two people strode in, a man and a woman, tall and straight.

The woman is Leimin, and the man is her leader.

Li Shengyao took a quick look at Lei Min, feeling ecstatic in his heart.

Although Lei Min is 30 years old, she is still very energetic. She has good facial features and a beautiful face, and she does not look old. She can play a girl in her early twenties.

And judging by her figure, she must train regularly. She has trained for two months, and she must have obvious back muscles.

They had already said hello, and there were not many obstacles on Lei Min's side, but they needed to read the script first to make sure that it was a positive movie.

Li Shengyao exchanged pleasantries with Lei Min's leader for a while, and then handed over the script of "Let's Punch, Dad". He brought three copies of the script this time, and Lei Min and her leader could read it at the same time.

Not long after, another leader came in, and Li Shengyao handed over the script again.

After a full two hours, Lei Min's leader said: "Director Li, can we discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow, it's not that your script is bad, this script is very good, in principle, Lei Min can talk to you You go to act in a movie, but you will go to the beautiful country to shoot this movie later, this is a problem to be considered, and our detachment has very important tasks in the second half of the year, we need to carefully discuss all aspects."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

So Li Shengyao left with the script.

A day later, still in the reception room, Li Shengyao saw Lei Min and her leader again.

"Director Li, Lei Min has a special status. She is not suitable for filming in Beautiful Country. Please forgive me for that."

Li Shengyao was a little disappointed, and he continued: "But if you are filming in China, then she can take this movie, and we will fully support it."

The others all looked over, and Lei Min also looked at Li Shengyao. She actually wanted to try this drama. First of all, the script was very good. She watched it yesterday and it was touching and passionate. She looked like the champion of the Women's Boxing World Cup.

Secondly, this is Director Li's first film, even if she is at the training base, she has heard the news about this film in her spare time.

It is said that many female celebrities went to audition, even Zhao Yanzi went.

Li Shengyao rejected them all. Based on this alone, Li Shengyao's attitude towards this movie is absolutely fine.

It is always easy to trust people who are focused and serious.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao thought for a while, "Yes, I can arrange that Lei Min's filming will be done in China, she doesn't need to go to the beautiful country."

The venue for the final Women's Boxing World Cup is actually in the beautiful country. Lei Min can't go to the beautiful country, so let's build a boxing arena in the beautiful country in China, and invite a group of white and black guys to be the audience.

In addition, we need to shoot several sets of beautiful country shots. It is best to let the female lead and the male lead appear in the beautiful country shots, so that it will be more realistic.

In this case, it is actually more economical.

He was sure that Lei Min was the most suitable, so he planned to slightly lower the requirements in this regard.

Li Shengyao then shook hands with Lei Min and her leader.

He then entered the training base, had lunch at the base, and introduced the shooting plan in detail by the way.

Lei Min promised to follow Li Shengyao to Yanjing for special training the next day.

Li Shengyao was very happy. He had confirmed the female lead. The next was the male lead and the second daughter. The second daughter was not as important as the eldest daughter, but there were still many scenes in the competition. It was necessary to find a suitable actress. This person had to be at least beautiful.

In addition, the same is true for the leading actor, and the acting skills of the leading actor are also good.

Around 50 years old, capable of filming and acting, it is too difficult to find.
