Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 250 Booting up

In the evening, it was both a welcoming party for Huang Ze and a meeting party between Huang Ze and the actors.

Huang Ze was more decentralized in this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Except for the male lead and the second male lead and the second female lead who were finalized in person, the rest were basically just named and his subordinates signed.

As for other supporting roles, Huang Ze almost let go completely. After he expressed his requirements, he handed it over to Zhang Jianya and others to choose. After the selection, they would report to Huang Ze and that was it.

So Huang Ze had never even seen many of them, and today was a good opportunity to get acquainted with them.

Look left and right, on the left is Li Lianjie.

On the right is the heroine of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xiao Fangfang, who was personally selected by Huang Ze.

This is the winner of the Berlin Golden Bear Award in her previous life.

In fact, she has a connection with Berlin. Her father studied in Germany and served as a director of an industrial bank.

Of course, compared to Xiao Fangfang, her mother is more interesting. She, along with Lu Xiaoman and others, was a student of Fu Lei. More than a dozen of the famous "Fu Lei Family Letters" were written to Xiao Fangfang's mother. Her first husband was Liu Haishu, a painter who served as the principal of Nanfang Academy of Fine Arts. He married Xiao Fangfang's father for the second time.

"Hello, Director Huang." Before Huang Ze could say anything, Xiao Fangfang toasted Huang Ze with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I wish us a happy cooperation."

"You can speak Shanghainese?"

"I was born in Shanghai, okay?" Xiao Fangfang switched to Mandarin. "Of course, I speak Mandarin better. I'm not that fluent in Shanghainese, but I have no problem listening to it."

At this time, Huang Ze realized that Xiao Fangfang's voice was a little high, and a little unusually high, as if she was afraid that Huang Ze couldn't hear it.

Sure enough, the next second she pointed to her right ear and said, "Director Huang, please speak louder next time. I was born deaf in my right ear."

Then, she pointed to her left ear and said, "My left ear is also a little bit bad."

“Hehe…” Xiao Fangfang smiled bitterly, “I don’t know when I will no longer be able to hear it and completely quit the film industry, so I am very grateful to Director Huang for giving me this opportunity.”

"This is a two-way choice." Huang Ze smiled, "You are also the most suitable candidate for my heroine, so there is no need to thank me."

This is telling the truth.

At this moment, Yang Ziqiong is not suitable for the role of Yu Xiulian, and it is impossible for her to film the role.

You need to be good-looking, have strong acting skills, know martial arts, be able to speak Mandarin, and be of the right age, but there are not that many choices.

"In short, just tell me if you have anything to say during the filming. Your film has such a huge investment, I will try my best to play the role of Yu Xiulian perfectly."

"Yeah." After Huang Ze chatted with Xiao Fangfang for a while, he turned to chat with other people.

"How much do you weigh?" Huang Ze clinked glasses with the second female lead Ning Jing, then looked him up and down.

Well, not bad, it’s good.

He has lost a lot of weight, even thinner than in "Yellow River Love".

"Ninety kilograms." Ning Jing said carelessly, "You've lost a lot of weight, right? By the way, Director Huang, when will we finish shooting this film?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"I just asked that. I just felt more tired than when I was practicing basketball."

"It may take one or two years at the shortest, or three to five years at the longest."

"Ah? Really? I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, you'll know when the time comes." Huang Ze didn't want to talk to this girl anymore, so he talked to the rest of the actors one by one.

Hu Jun who plays Luo Xiaohu.

Zheng Peipei, who plays the Blue-Eyed Fox, also played this role in her previous life in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

There is also Huang Suying, who played Wu Ma in her previous life, playing a role similar to Tie Beile in the original film, Jiao Huang, an old friend of the commander of the Jinyiwei in this film, and He Saifei who plays Cai Xiangmei.

Finally, there is Tao Huimin, who plays the maid Xiuchun.

Both of them were found by Zhang Jianya after he watched a movie filmed in 84 called "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents".

Compared to her previous life when He Saifei had to resign from the Yue Opera Troupe in order to perform in "Raise the Red Lantern", this time is not so tragic.

Tao Huimin is younger than He Saifei, but now she is much more famous than He Saifei. She played the role of Xiao Baicai in last year's "Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai" and was quite popular. At this moment, Tao Huimin also looks like a beautiful girl from the Jiangnan Water Village.

Qi Tongwei, ah, Qi Tongwei, you are so blind!

How is Liang Lu worse than Gao Xiaofeng?

Oh, old age, that's true.

Hu Jing should still be in junior high school now.

"Director Huang." Huang Ze was a little distracted, so Tao Huimin had kept her hand raised in the air for a while, which was really a bit awkward, so she called Huang Ze.

"Oh." Huang Ze clinked glasses with him and started to talk nonsense, "I was just thinking about a drama and I suddenly thought you were a good fit."

"Oh, what drama?"

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"Ah?" Tao Huimin blinked. "Which role do you think is suitable for me?"

"Xiao Qiao."

"It would be great if I could get the role." Tao Huimin smiled and shook her head. "I heard that CCTV is going to film Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There aren't many female roles in it, so everyone will definitely want to play for it. I probably won't have a chance."

"We can still fight for it. What if? Isn't it?" Huang Ze was already muttering to himself.

As a consultant for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I want a few roles. Director Wang Fuling should be able to do that, right?

Anyway, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also short of actors.

Hong Yuzhou wore a beard to play Yuan Shao, and took off the beard to play Zhou Yu.

There is also Wu Xiaodong, the one with black beard plays Sun Jian, and the one with purple-red beard plays Sun Jian’s son Sun Quan.

Yang Fan with a beard is Gongsun Zan, and without the beard is his subordinate Zhao Yun.

Li Ru Yang Xiu is an actor.

That would be fine, Xu Chu, Liao Hua, Taishi Ci and Bao Xin are the same person. These four together may be able to fight Lu Bu to a draw.

He should be happy if I recommend actors to him.

Well, it must be like this. It has to be like this.

They are Diao Chan, Cheng Hong, and Xiao Qiao, Tao Huimin.

He Qing, who played Xiao Qiao in her previous life, plays Daqiao Wei...

Ah, but Da Qiao is not a bad idea.

I still have some impression of Huang Zeyou. The actress who played Da Qiao in "Romance of Three Kingdoms" was not very pretty.

After all, they are two beauties who have been passed down for thousands of years. It would be bad if there was such a big difference in their looks.

I think it is suitable for He Qing and Tao Huimin to play Er Qiao.

However, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not started casting yet, so there is no need to rush.

That night, Huang Ze got acquainted with several actors he had never worked with before. The next day, Huang Ze began to check the preparations of others and the actors' preparations.

Everything was satisfactory. On the last day of May, a group of people held a ceremony to worship the gods in Hongcun.

Because the filming location was too remote this time, Huang Ze did not specifically invite the media over, so there were no reporters to interview. Huang Ze was happy to have some quiet time, and after praying to the gods, he started filming immediately.

"Are you ready?" After making sure that all departments were ready, Huang Ze shouted "Action!" with a loud speaker.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon officially begins.

The first shot is Li Mubai, dressed in a Confucian long gown, walking on the Painted Bridge in Hongcun while leading a horse.
