Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The staff list of "Dao Ma Dan" is easy to draw up, but the casting of actors really stumps Xu Cun.

Several actors in Xu Ke's version of "Dao Ma Dan" performed well-the performances of Wu Ma, Gu Feng, Zeng Jiang, and Qin Pei are all remarkable.

Qin Pei was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as Hua Jinxiu.

But Xu Cun recognized Qin Pei's acting skills, but did not approve of Qin Pei's appearance-Xu Cun did not understand the mentality of a good man, but Xu Cun believed that no matter what his sexual orientation was, the appreciation of beauty should be the same. The square face painting is too unsuitable for dressing up, and the body is too bloated. It is impossible for him to stand out in the cruelly competitive troupe, let alone be favored by the captain of the inspection team.

In Xu Cun's view, even if there is a man who can attract men, it should be Cheng Dieyi played by Zhang Guorong, not Hua Jinxiu played by Qin Pei.

Looking for Zhang Guorong to play Hua Jinxiu?

This idea lingered in Xu Cun's mind for a long time, and then was deleted by Xu Cun.

There are three reasons why Zhang Guorong was not chosen:

First, Zhang Guorong, who is only 24 years old now, is too young, far from Hua Jinxiu.

Second, Xu Cun is really afraid that if Zhang Guorong is not crazy and will not survive, he will change his character in advance because of his role in "Dao Ma Dan". Xu Cun does not want to bear the infamy.

Third, Zhang Guorong is so talented in playing this kind of role. Xu Cun was really afraid that Cheng Dieyi would appear in advance, and then robbed the scene of Lin Qingxia's three daughters, making Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, and Ye Qianwen completely reduced to Cheng Dieyi's supporting roles .

The role of Hua Jinxiu made Xu Cun embarrassed for a long time.

Finally, after Lin Zhengying learned that there was such a character, he recommended his brother Zunlong.

Reminded by Lin Zhengying, Xu Cun also thought of Zunlong.

Zun Long is a Chinese-American actor who was born in Xiangjiang, and later immigrated to the United States, where he continued to study acting, dancing and martial arts. He is the first actor of Chinese descent to be nominated for the US Golden Globe Award, and also the only actor of Chinese descent to be nominated for the US Golden Globe Award twice. Starred in the Hollywood movies "Forty Thousand Years of the Iceman" and "Year of the Dragon" and gained fame. Starring in "The Last Emperor" directed by the famous Italian director Bertolucci, playing the leading role Pu Yi. He caused a sensation in the world film circle and won nine Oscar awards in one fell swoop; his superb acting skills made him famous in the international film circle, and his reputation has never faded. Moreover, Zun Long was originally Cheng Dieyi's first choice, but because of some special reasons, Zhang Guorong was changed to play it.

However, for Zunlong to play Hua Jinxiu, Xu Cun also has concerns about letting Zhang Guorong play Hua Jinxiu-you know, Zun Long is as beautiful as Zhang Guorong, and he is less than thirty years old.

But Xu Cun really didn't have a good candidate, and Zunlong was recommended by Lin Zhengying, so Xu Cun agreed to let Zunlong try the play.

The troupe leader played by Wu Ma was given to Wu Mengda by Xu Cun—to be honest, Xu Cun, who is used to Wu Mengda acting in comedies, hesitated before giving this role to Wu Mengda. However, considering that Wu Mengda has won the Best Supporting Actor after all, and he is not going to make "Dao Ma Dan" into that kind of particularly serious tragedy. So, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Cun still gave the role to Wu Mengda.

Xu Cun did not change the role of the captain of the inspection team, and Shaw Brothers actor Gu Feng played it.

Xu Cun’s decision was also a helpless move—DreamWorks was established for too short a time, and Xiangjiang was too small. Even including Taiwan, Xu Cun couldn’t find a better actor than Gu Feng to play the inspection team. The captain, and Gu Feng's acting skills are not bad, as long as he is a little restrained, there should be no problem playing this role.

In the role of Governor Cao, Xu Cun is going to play in person - this role has a little intimate role with Lin Qingxia and the three daughters, and Xu Cun is so cheap that he takes it himself. In addition, Xu Cun, who has been a man for two lifetimes, is very confident that he can play this role well.

The most troublesome thing is the two male leads of this drama.

Let me talk about the patriotic young Ning Beihai first.

Zheng Haonan, the original actor of Ning Beihai, is only sixteen years old this year, too young to play this role at all.

Therefore, this role must be replaced.

who?

Xu Cun used his mind to check all the actors in Xiangjiang and Taiwan several times, but he couldn't find one that was too suitable.

These actors all have a common problem-poor acting skills.

But the image and age of the few actors whose acting skills are not bad are not good.

After choosing and choosing, Xu Cun decided to let Andy Lau play Ning Beihai.

Andy Lau was chosen not because Andy was qualified, but because Xu Cun liked Andy, a loyal model worker.

but--

Xu Cun was also afraid that because of his meddling this time, Andy Lau's character would be changed—would Andy Lau know how to cherish without going through wireless's 400-day snowfall? And then can he still become the Liu Tianwang who works so hard that he is almost persistent?

Since he couldn't find a better candidate, Xu Cun went to Keli Middle School, where Andy Lau is currently studying, at the end of the school day.

When he was young, Andy Lau was a little fat, a little dark, very sunny and energetic.

After observing Andy Lau from a distance for a while, Xu Cun asked Zhong Fa to help him call Andy Lau over.

Xu Cun didn't say much to Andy Lau - he just sat in the car and threw a sentence to Andy Lau: "If you can lose fifteen pounds within a month, I will give you a role to play."

After saying this, Xu Cun asked Zhong Fa to drive him away——Xu Cun didn't wear glasses, so it was impossible for Andy Lau not to recognize him. Taking a ten thousand step back, if Andy Lau really doesn't know him, then it means that the fate between the two has not yet arrived.

As for making Andy Lau lose weight, there are two reasons.

First, the current image of Andy Lau is indeed not good.

Second, and most importantly, Xu Cun didn't want Andy Lau to get this opportunity easily, so as not to destroy his character so that he could still become the Liu Tianwang who had been working hard in his previous life.

The kind-hearted warlord soldier Dong Min, Xu Cun hesitated between Ren Dahua and Wan Ziliang.

To be honest, Xu Cun is not too optimistic about the two of them - in Xu Cun's impression, they play the bad guys are very classic, but they play kind people...

However, both Ren Dahua and Wan Ziliang are rare good actors with acting skills! Therefore, Xu Cun decided to give them a month to figure out the role by themselves before making a final decision.

As for the other actors, it's easy to handle. Lin Zhengying will play the troupe boss, Liu Xun will play a guest role as a Peking Opera actor, Cheng Kui'an will play the Northern Army platoon leader who takes advantage of the chaos and looting, and Huang Xia will play the warlord who has no money to make a noise.

As the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, Xu Cun looked for students from the police academy to play them. For male Peking Opera actors, Xu Cun is looking for professional Peking Opera actors to play them—he will not, like Xu Ke, play a large group of actors to fool the audience.

The personnel drafting is almost done, Xu Cun announced that "Dao Ma Dan" has officially entered the stage of preparation for filming.
