Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Li Wan took it and looked carefully:

Ouyang Feng - Shu Wenrong (Hong Kong)

Sister-in-law——Liang Xiyan (Baodao)

Blind Warrior——Liu Yi

Peach Blossom - Ye Xiaomin.

"I can only think of these few for the time being, and I will look for the rest of the character actors slowly." Yu Dongqing explained.

Li Wan was taken aback.

Of course he knew the actors.

Shu Wenrong - Double winner of Baodao Golden Horse Award and Hong Kong Film Award.

Liang Xiyan - the winner of the Baodao Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Liu Yi - Golden Rooster Award winner.

The worst one is Ye Xiaomin, who also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress!

It's all about the wrist.

"Holly, let alone acting skills, the combined salary of these movie stars is probably terrifyingly high." Li Wan said with a wry smile.

"Let's not talk about the salary for now." Yu Dongqing waved his hand: "Do you think it's appropriate?"

"Of course it fits!"

"Needless to say Shu Wenrong and Liang Xiyan, they have acted in literary films and martial arts films. Although Liu Yi has never acted in martial arts, his acting skills are outstanding. He can act in both dramas and comedies. They have a bright future. Ye Xiaomin also has good acting skills. The role of Peach Blossom doesn’t have too many roles, so she is suitable.”

"Then these roles are decided like this? I am responsible for contacting these actors and obtaining their consent. As for the remuneration, you can negotiate." Yu Dongqing said.

"Seeing this best actor and that best actress, I feel a little dizzy when I think about the remuneration. Okay, I'll go talk!"

After hearing this, Yu Dongqing smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup.

"Why not find Li Yunjie? The first star." Li Wan suddenly thought of a question.

"I wanted him to play the role of Kuai Dao, but it's just a supporting role, one or two scenes, so I probably won't be able to hire him," Yu Dongqing explained.

This is true.

Li Wan nodded.

"There is another question." Li Wan hesitated and said.

"you say."

"Have you not considered a suitable candidate for the role of Murong Yan?"

"Yes, but I have to go back and ask." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Mingming! You are plotting against your wife!" Li Wan laughed.

In the original time and space, Lin Qingxia played two roles, Murong Yan and Murong Yan. It was difficult to distinguish between male and female, twins of yin and yang, a mixture of strength and softness between heroic and charming, looking forward to the appearance, swaying freely, and shining with light.

Since Meili played Dongfang Bubai very successfully, it wouldn't be too bad to play this role again. However, Yu Dongqing is not sure whether she is willing to go out to film as she is focused on raising her baby son at home.

"Also, where are you going to shoot the location? Huairou and Hengdian are not suitable." Li Wan asked.

"Go to the Northwest and look for it."

"Well, being in the desert is more consistent with the background of your story.

In fact, this film was filmed in Yulin, Qin Province in the original time and space, and the desert scenery was the Mu Us Desert, the fourth largest desert in China.

Unfortunately, after years of afforestation, this desert has become an oasis and is about to be "killed" by people, so Yu Dongqing had to find a new place.

The two chatted about other details of the movie for a while, and after seeing that the time was about the same, they drove back.

It was dinner time when Yu Dongqing arrived home, and the nanny Xia Xia had already prepared the meal.

Dinner at home is usually very simple. If it’s not noodles, it’s just a few stir-fried vegetables.

Stir-fried cauliflower with fungus and shrimp, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and stir-fried pork with white pepper. The staple food is steamed buns. Meimei recently fell in love with boiled corn on the cob, so he cooked one specially for her.

Yu Dongqing doesn’t like to eat this stuff—it hurt her when she was a child.

"Husband, have you discussed it with Li Wan?" Mingliang asked while eating.

"He didn't have any objections. He submitted the script for approval first. I contacted the actors and then asked him to negotiate the salary."

"Husband, what's the problem with you taking action? Didn't Liang Xiyan tell you that she wants to act in your movie." Meili flattered her a little.

"Let's wait until they read the script." Yu Dongqing replied, then looked at Meimei: "Do you want to play a role?"

"Me? I understand, you want me to play the role of Murong Yan!"

"Those who know me are my daughters-in-law." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"I also really like the role of Murong Yan, but what will happen to Lele if we film a movie? I can't bear to leave him."

Yu Dongqing originally said that he could put Lele at your mother's place temporarily. She has retired for a long time anyway. If she asked the nanny to come over and help, but after hearing Meimei's tone, she couldn't say the next words.

"I have a good idea!" Meili suddenly smiled sweetly and said: "I can bring Lele with me when filming, and let Xiaxia follow us! I will let her take care of me when filming. Anyway, I don't have many roles. We can come back after we finish filming.”

Ah?

Going to Northwest China with your whole family?

This method is quite good.

Yu Dongqing agreed.

Now that the decision was made, Yu Dongqing came to his studio the next morning, found Yang Liu, explained the situation, and asked her to contact several actors' agents in the name of the studio to talk about it.

Yang Liu has also read the script. Although she doesn't understand filming, as the head of the studio, she naturally has to worry about her artists.

"Let Xiaoxi play the role of Hong Qi? I don't have many roles, so Xiaobei can also do it." Yang Liu suggested.

"Also, let Yawen play the role of an orphan girl."

Since Lu Xiaoxi became famous after starring in the role of Xiaobei in "You Are Young", she has also taken on several films in succession. She has steadily improved her acting skills.

Although he is not a first-line actor, he has his own place in the film and television industry.

"Okay, let him act."

Both of these characters are supporting roles and don't have much screen time.

Yang Liu quickly contacted the agents of these actors and sent an invitation to pass the script over.

The first person to respond was Liang Xiyan.

I am willing to play the role of sister-in-law and have reserved a special schedule for this purpose.

Next is Shu Wenrong.

He also called Yu Dongqing specifically and said in his broken Mandarin: "Director Yu, I really like the role of Xidu. It is very challenging. I am willing to give it a try."

"Okay, as for the salary and so on, the producer Mr. Li Wan will contact your agent."

"OK!"

Yu Dongqing was about to hang up the phone when he heard Shu Wenrong say on the phone: "Director Yu, have you found a suitable actor for the role of Dongxie?"

"not yet."

"I recommend one to you. Our Hong Kong actor Huang Jiahui is also very good in acting. I have acted opposite him before."

Huang Jiahui?

Yu Dongqing suddenly remembered.

The middle-aged man who chatted with Liang Xiyan at the private dance held by Zhou Fanming in Xiangjiang.

Small eyes, square face, straight nose, mature and steady, not too handsome but looks very individual.

Well, playing the role of Dong Xie is good.

However, Yu Dongqing did not dare to agree easily.

The character Dongxie is the second male lead in the film and is also very important.

"Okay, how about I think about it later?"

"OK!"

Unexpectedly, only two days later, Yu Dongqing received a strange phone call from Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Yu Dongqing? I am Xiangjiang Huang Jiahui. I really want to play the role of Dongxie. Can you please give me this opportunity?"
