Chapter 166 Why Is It So Difficult To Choose The Leading Role In Every Of My Plays?
Although usually unreliable, but at critical moments, Chen Meng and An Heng are not fools, and they can clearly understand the priorities of things!
There are still three months and a few days before the Lunar New Year holiday.
This also needs to exclude the half-month time required for film post-production, editing, and copying into films.
So there is only about two and a half months left for Melting Point Media.
In such a short amount of time, Li Chang'an still has to prepare the crew and choose actors.
Fortunately, there are the first two film and television dramas as a base, and the staffing of the crew is ready-made.
It is only necessary to occasionally replace personnel in a few unimportant positions, which saves Li Changan a lot of time.
But in the choice of actors, he habitually encountered difficulties.
Li Changan intends to leave the role of female psychiatrist Li Xin'er to An Nuan.
This character is fundamentally different from [My Sassy Girl] Song Myung Hee.
Li Changan's original intention was to let An Nuan try different types of roles, so as not to end up playing a sassy girlfriend type.
For An Nuan, this can be regarded as a moderate challenge.
After accepting this role, An Nuan began to figure out Li Xin'er's character traits non-stop.
She even took Shen Xirou to find a psychological counseling clinic in Zhonghai, planning to intern there for a period of time.
[Infernal Affairs] is a male-dominated film, in fact, there are not many female characters in it.
In addition to the female psychiatrist Li Xin'er, the one who takes a little more shots is the girlfriend of the protagonist Liu Jianming, the female writer who has no name in the whole play.
Li Changan hasn't decided who to give this role to.
The main reason is that there are not many roles for female writers, and most people can handle this role.
What makes him difficult is the hero.
For the role of Chen Yongren, Li Changan still planned to play in person.
What makes him worry is another protagonist, Liu Jianming.
The character of this character is extremely contradictory, and it requires a deep foundation to perform it perfectly.
In the past few days, Li Changan interviewed seven or eight actors in one go. The actors who came to the audition were very dissatisfied with their performance!
"Cut!" In the large office where the interview was held by Melting Point Media, Li Changan feebly raised his hand to signal the actor who was auditioning to stop.
The handsome young man who was so nervous that he stammered a little, had a look of despair on his face.
He knew in his heart that there was a high probability that he would miss this role!
"Thank you...Director Li, thank you...Boss Su!" Although he knew it was useless, the handsome young man was still very polite, and bowed to Li Changan and Su Han who were in charge of the assessment!
Li Changan's face was serious, and he let out a long breath of foul air.
The young man's manager came over, thinking about saving him one last time.
"Director Li, Mr. Su, and Sun Hui are not bad. He was just too nervous today, so he didn't perform well. I implore the two leaders to think about it carefully and give him a chance!"
Su Han glanced at Li Changan, seeing that he obviously didn't intend to speak, so he stood up and said:
"Don't worry, as long as he is a talent, our Melting Point Media will never let his talent be buried. You go back and wait for the notice, and I will discuss it with Director Li!"
"Then... alright!" The disappointment on the manager's face was palpable.
What a great opportunity!
Li Changan's star-making ability is obvious to all in the circle.
His opponents used all kinds of excuses to discredit him, but everyone would avoid talking about this aspect.
Because Li Changan has already proved with facts that after his training, whether it is the cross-industry An Nuan or the young Qin Xiaomi, they are now twinkling stars.
Even the cows and Daoming Temple he created himself have impeccable acting skills.
No one will take something that everyone knows and come out to spread rumors and make trouble.
If Sun Hui can play a role in Li Changan's new movie, even if it's not the protagonist, but just a passer-by, it will be of great help to his future stardom!
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, Li Changan and Su Han were obviously dissatisfied with Sun Hui's performance.
The manager was both regretful and heartbroken, but he could only explain a few words on the occasion, and went out to take Sun Hui away.
"Anyone else make an appointment to audition?" Li Changan's voice suppressed anger.
Xu Xiaowei, who only wanted to integrate herself with the tables, chairs and benches and not attract the attention of the leaders, could only carefully flip through the memo, shook her head and said:
"President Su, Director Li, this Sun Hui is the last one, there is no one else!"
As a competent assistant, Xu Xiaowei is of course very winking.
She could see Li Changan's impatience, and she could also smell the vague smell of gunpowder in the air!
Xu Xiaowei didn't want to be that poor pond fish.
Li Changan nodded expressionlessly.
Su Han said softly:
"Chang'an, I think the last Sun Hui and the second audition Wang Qingyao are pretty good, especially that Wang Qingyao, who is not only handsome, but also a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, or just use him to make ends meet!"
"What a fart!" Li Changan's anger completely exploded:
"That Wang Qingyao, since he entered the room, his eyes have been wandering around Xu Xiaowei and the two of you. Those eyes look like he is not a good person. I will not use this kind of actor with questionable character anyway."
Xu Xiaowei was so frightened by his roar that her head dropped to her chest.
Thanks to the low altitude of her Wangzai steamed bun, otherwise the little assistant might have hidden herself in it.
"Xiao Wei, go and pour a cup of herbal tea for Director Li to relieve his anger!" Su Han's voice was still calm. She cared about her husband's face and didn't want him to embarrass him in front of his subordinates.
Although Xu Xiaowei was considered her confidant and it was impossible to go out and talk nonsense, Su Han still found an excuse and sent her out.
As if being pardoned, the little assistant quickly agreed and ran out quickly.
Su Han stood up and walked behind Li Changan, put his slender hands on his shoulders, and gently massaged.
"Husband, I know that you have been under a lot of pressure recently because of Xu Wen's challenge, but the more you are like this, the more you can't be chaotic, because you are the backbone of everyone, and if you are agitated, the people below will have no bottom!"
Li Changan's monstrous anger softened in Su Han's gentle voice.
He grabbed Su Han's slender hand on his shoulder with his backhand, and said emotionally:
"My wife, thank you for your enlightenment, I know what to do."
Su Han put his arms around his neck, and said playfully:
"Honey, since it's so difficult to choose the leading actor, why don't we talk about it when we come back from the capital next week!"
Su Han's words awakened the dreamer.
Li Changan's eyes lit up: "That's right, at the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, there must be big names gathered, maybe there is an actor who is suitable for Liu Jianming!"
"Bingo, the answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward!"
Li Changan said depressedly:
"Damn it, I think I should go to the temple to repay the gods, otherwise why can't I choose the protagonist in every movie?"
