This time it was an acquaintance, "Zhang Yi's."

Wei Jundao.

Yaya: "Of course I want the role too, but Brother Yi's acting skills and image are both pretty good, you should consider it." She was the heroine in "Beijing Love Story" and Zhang Yi was the hero. After filming the show, the two became good friends. Yaya also said a few good words for Zhang Yi.

Wei Jun didn't say anything, but just answered Zhang Yi's call.

As expected, Zhang Yi was indeed here for the role in "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave": "Director Wei, can you give me a chance to audition?"

Wei Jun refused: "No."

Zhang Yi: “…”

I think I would not love anymore.

But before he could digest his disappointment, he heard Wei Jun continue, "Just come and sign the contract, but the pay won't be too high, so don't have too high expectations."

Zhang Yi, who was in a state of both sadness and joy, said: "... Director Wei, you have become humorous now. For your role, the salary is whatever you say, and you will never worry about it."

Zhang Yi has acted in many dramas before, including "Soldier Assault", which made him famous.

But the drama "Beijing Love Story" made him famous beyond the circle.

After all, the leading actor of "Soldier Assault" is Baoqiang.

And he is the male lead of "Beijing Love Story".

The leading actor and the supporting actor are still different.

So Zhang Yi is really grateful to Wei Jun.

Just like Da Tiantian often claims to be Wei Jun’s mentor, in Zhang Yi’s mind, Wei Jun is his mentor.

Although this Bole is not as old as him, the steed, it doesn't matter.

A person's status is determined by his achievements, not his age.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Yi, Yaya looked at Wei Jun curiously: "You gave the role to Brother Yi without an audition? Are you so optimistic about Brother Yi?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you are optimistic or not."

Wei Jun said calmly, "Because I need an actor with a military temperament."

Zhang Yi came from an art troupe.

He really was a soldier.

Otherwise, Zhang Yi wouldn't have been able to play the role in Operation Red Sea. Return of the Thirteen Soldiers requires an actor who exudes the iron-blooded aura of a warrior on the battlefield.

There are actually not many actors in the entertainment industry who can portray this kind of military temperament.

Zhang Yi is definitely one of them.

In this regard, Jackie Chan may not be able to perform well.

However, when a person's achievements in the film industry reach the level of Jackie Chan, he or she can indeed enjoy privileges.

Apart from Jackie Chan, Zhang Yi was the first soldier confirmed by Wei Jun to have survived.

The next day.

Da Tiantian recommended someone to Wei Jun.

"Huang Xiaoming's network of contacts is so terrifying, I didn't even know he could use his connections to get to me.

"Mr. Wei, can you give me this favor?" Da Tiantian asked.

Wei Jun thought about Zhang Yi and felt that he could still rest assured about Huang Xiaoming.

As long as the actors in the crew are good enough, Huang Xiaoming will not lower the average score.

But "Ask Huang Xiaoming, can he act ugly? 'The 13 Soldiers Return to the Cave' isn't a movie about being cool; being dirty is the norm."

Wei Jundao.

Da Tiantian asked someone.

Then Huang Xiaoming called Wei Jun directly.

"Don't worry, Director Wei, I'll shoot it however you ask me to."

Wei Jun: “…”

His biggest thought is: the leakage of personal privacy is really too serious.

After Huang Xiaoming, Wei Jun confirmed another candidate: Duan Yihong!

An actor whose tough guy image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After Duan Yihong, it is Yu Rongguang.

He is also a person who is impeccable in terms of tough guys. When the cast of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was confirmed one after another, it caused an uproar in the industry.

Because it seemed that Wei Jun had no method at all in selecting people.

Zhang Yi and Huang Xiaoming are fine, they are both very popular now and have high popularity.

But what the hell are Duan Yihong and Yu Rongguang?

The two are not unknown in the entertainment industry, but they are not very popular either.

The box office appeal is even weaker.

Just when everyone couldn't understand Wei Jun's selection criteria, "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" officially announced another candidate: Situ Baoyu, played by Yu He and Wei.

Bao Yu was a very important person. Without him, the Han court might not have sent troops to rescue Geng Gong.

Therefore, the role of Bao Yu is very important, and many people think that Wei Jun will choose a more famous actor to support the role.

But Lord Wei chose Yu and Wei.

In 2011, Yu and Wei were even more transparent than Duan Yihong and Yu Rongguang.

Wei Jun's selection criteria are confusing, but also give people hope.

So... Da Tiantian came to see Wei Jun again.

"An investor strongly recommended a candidate, saying he's very hardworking and a tough guy, which completely meets your selection criteria."

Da Tiantian said.

Wei Jun became interested: "Name."

"Peng Yuyan."

Wei Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It seems that he is indeed very hardworking and has a tough guy temperament. If he is filmed, it should meet my requirements."

Da Tiantian was delighted: "So he passed?"

"not at all."

Wei Jun said calmly, "The image and temperament are acceptable, but the nationality is not.

Ask him if he is willing to transfer his nationality to China. If he is willing, then you can do it. If he is not willing, then there is no chance."

Peng Yuyan is Canadian.

Da Tiantian: "... Isn't filming based on compatibility with the role? Why does it also depend on nationality?"

Wei Jun answered this question on his official account on Station A: "Recently, many people in the industry have approached me, hoping to play a role in The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave.

Here I will announce a selection criterion. From now on, when I, Wei Jun, shoot patriotic movies or TV series, no matter whether it is an ancient drama, an anti-Japanese war drama, or a modern drama, I will not use actors with foreign nationality, no matter how big their names are.

"Wei is just a Chinese and has no international perspective.

I find it hard to believe that celebrities who have given up their Chinese nationality truly love China, so I absolutely cannot choose them to star in a patriotic drama. Please be aware of this!

Wei Jun's statement shocked the entire industry.

Many people cheered, many people cursed.

Because there are too many celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry who have given up their Chinese citizenship.

Jet Li, Gong Li, Liu Yifei, Jin Chengwu... there are many big names.

They were all shot.

Naturally, they would hold a grudge against Lord Wei.

Even slandered Wei Jun.

But soon, the official account of Station A's "Minren Daily" gave Wei Jun a thumbs up.

The Communist Youth League forwarded Wei Jun’s statement.

Photos of Wei Jun being interviewed made headlines in major official media outlets.

Suddenly, all the disputes disappeared.

Of course, the nationality restriction order is still a very distant thing.

But Wei Jun was the first to step forward and take the lead. The meaning was very clear: this young man has a good awareness, so stop bullying him!

"Wei Jun, do you want to implement a nationality restriction order in the entertainment industry?" Da Tiantian asked Wei Jun with a mission: "You're not going to wait until the next National People's Congress to propose it, are you?"

That’s right, Wei Jun is now a member of the National People’s Congress.

Qualified to propose.

Given Wei Jun's current status and reputation, it would be difficult for the higher-ups to do anything if he proposed it.

After all, the overall environment needs to be maintained stable.

But Wei Jun's behavior is politically correct.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have such big ambitions.

I should do my job well. I am just an ordinary director. Things like the nationality restriction order are not something a small director like me can decide.

However, I do suggest that when making patriotic works in the future, foreign stars should not be embarrassed to participate in them."

In his previous life, when Chen Kaige was directing the film "My Country and I", he asked his son Chen Feiyu to star in one of the units, but his son is American.

The actor's nationality and the name of the movie form a sharp irony.

It's disgusting to look at.

Wei Jun thinks that the less such things happen in the entertainment industry, the better.

The nationality restriction order involves too many issues, and as long as foreigners do not break the law, it is reasonable and legal for them to be celebrities in China.

But Wei Jun felt that letting a group of foreigners perform a patriotic play for the Chinese was really an insult to the audience.

Many people also know that this is an insult to the audience.

However, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will offend many people, so no one in the entertainment industry is willing to break this window paper.

Mr. Wei is willing to be the first to take action.

I was reborn not to suffer.

So what if he's arrogant?

What's more, this is politically correct.

"Mr. Wei, doing this will offend a lot of people."

Da Tiantian reminded.

Wei Jun smiled confidently: "Tiantian, I don't need to be afraid of offending others. Instead, others should be afraid of offending me."

Da Tiantian: Although I know you are showing off and bragging, what you did is indeed very cool.

"I'm serious. Besides, I'm very handsome."

Da Tiantian licked her red lips.

She admitted that Wei Jun was indeed very handsome.

Very Mano very exciting.

Chapter 10: The tyrant on the set attacks Huanhuan!

Wei Jun accepted a suggestion from Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan said that he could understand why all the actors in the film "Thirteen Soldiers" except himself were from mainland China, as this would better suit the audience's temperament and would not distract them from the show.
