Chapter 1165 A Pure Soldier

After deleting and revising the script of "Eight Hundred Heroes" several times, Li Yi submitted it to Zhao Guangming.

There was no big surprise, but Li Yi was asked to delete a few plots, and directly marked the places that needed to be deleted.

This is definitely a huge preferential treatment for domestic film review.

When other directors know about it, they will definitely feel envious and jealous.

Still the same sentence, just like Zhao Guangming said, if other directors made this movie, it might not go so smoothly, but Li Yi is different.

After the news of the casting was officially announced, all the male and female stars and actors in the entertainment industry on both sides of the strait and the three places started to move.

Of course, the first thing they have to do is to collect various information on the defense of the Sixing Warehouse.

After all, this is Li Yi's movie.

Maybe they don't care too much at ordinary times, but as long as Li Yi's movies can be starred in, let alone skyrocketing, at least for them, they will definitely be of great help to their careers.

What are resources?This is the resource!And it's a top resource.

What is rare is that Li Yi's films have never been threatened or influenced by capital, so this is naturally the best news for those actors who do not have a particularly strong background behind them.

Even many actors have spontaneously started charging in private, in order to strengthen their own competitiveness.

As time passed day by day, the history of the "Sihang Warehouse Defense War", which was not familiar to the public, has entered the public's field of vision one after another.

Netizens discussed it themselves.

It is not unreasonable that this period of history can be frequently adapted into movies, novels, etc.

Because looking at the entire history of the War of Resistance in Huaguo, the defense of the Sixing Warehouse was a very special, special battle.

Not only that, but the ending of the follow-up Eight Hundred Heroes also made many people sigh.

Hero, what is a hero?

The soldiers who died fighting for the country are of course heroes.

What about them?

Are you a hero?
This is recognized!But their ending and their experience made many people hesitate.

Li Yi doesn't like to use newcomers, because he feels that he is not the kind of director who is good at teaching. Of course, the newcomers here refer to amateur actors.

Students in colleges and universities like some majors and star reserves are not included in this list.

However, this casting is not completely open.

At least some of the conditions set by Li Yi must be met, and the conditions set according to the characteristics of each character are acceptable.

This audition was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Zhonghai City.

Early on, many media reporters who heard the news were waiting outside.

Although it was just an audition for a movie, everyone knew that the lineup for this audition was definitely not low.

Including the popular young students, powerful actors, and even the best actor and actress.

However, unlike usual trips, the actors who came to audition this time were relatively low-key. After all, this is an audition, not a commercial performance.

The chief director of "Eight Hundred" is naturally Li Yi himself.

As for the assistant director, this time Li Yi still chose to find someone from Huaying Group to cooperate.

A historical consultant was also hired.

The audition is a little different from other movies. In other movies, most of the time, there may be several important roles such as the male lead, the representative of the investor, the producer, and so on.

But for Li Yi's movie, there are quite a few people who are in charge of auditioning and casting, but there is no one other than Li Yi who can affect the audition results!

By the way, Chen Wen is also in charge of the audition this time, but this time, he is not acting as an actor, but as an assistant director.

The best in acting is the director. For Chen Wen, in terms of actors, he has almost achieved the ultimate.

If Li Yi is the No.1 Chinese-language film director, then Chen Wen's achievements as an actor can be regarded as a leader in domestic entertainment film and television actors.

If you want awards, you have awards, and if you want box office, you need box office.

And many actors actually have the dream of being a director.

In fact, this is not the first time for Chen Wen to be a director. He also worked as a director in the early years, but it is a pity that the films he made went straight to the street.

This time, when Chen Wen found Li Yi, at first Li Yi thought that Chen Wen wanted to act in his movie.

In fact, there are many roles in "Eight Hundred", and Chen Wen is completely competent, but what I didn't expect was that he wanted to be Li Yi's assistant director, or to learn from it.

For this, Li Yi naturally wished for it.

Soon, auditions began.

The first person to audition was Li Yi's old acquaintance, Li Tongzhou, a powerful actor nowadays.

The role he was going to audition for was the role of Head Xie.

This character, in the original version of "Eight Hundred", cannot be regarded as the absolute protagonist, because this is a group play. In fact, although his role has a lot of roles, it cannot be regarded as the real protagonist.

But in Li Yi's version, Captain Xie has a lot more roles, especially after the four-line warehouse defense battle, he is the absolute protagonist after crossing the bridge.

This role is certainly important.

"Director Li, Director Chen, Director Zhuo, hello!"

"Ms. Li, long time no see." Li Yi greeted with a smile.

These well-known actors come to audition, of course it is impossible to be like those newcomers.

And it's not that everyone doesn't know each other, on the contrary, they are very familiar with it.

So after a bit of politeness, I went directly to the topic.

"Have you learned about the history of the defense of the Sixing Warehouse recently?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Li Tongzhou nodded.

This is for sure, especially if he wants to win the role of the leading actor, he has naturally worked hard.

Li Yi asked again: "You want to play the role of Captain Xie, so what kind of person do you think he is? Or, what do you think of this role?"

Don't think that Li Yi's question seems to be a panacea, but it is actually not.

This question is very specific.

Because, from a historical perspective, Captain Xie is a hero recognized by both sides.

But from the perspective of the movie, from the character itself, this character is not that kind of perfect hero.

So, personal opinion is still very important.

Li Tongzhou was clearly prepared for this.

"I personally think that he is a real pure soldier!"

"Oh? How do you say it?" Li Yi was quite surprised by what Li Tongzhou said.

"I just look at the history from the beginning of the defense of the Sixing Warehouse to the period after entering the foreign concession. First of all, it is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders. He can say that he has carried out the order without any discount, even if he Some orders also appeared hesitant, hesitant, and puzzled, but he still chose to execute them!
To some extent, Yaobai's final outcome is closely related to him.

It was he who decided to carry out the order to lead the troops to evacuate the Sixing Warehouse, and it was also he who carried out the order of "endurance", insisted on sticking to the lone army camp, and refused to find another way out for the lone army.Therefore, in fact, many people in the lonely army hate him!

Because of his persistence, he has indeed fulfilled his identity as a soldier, but for other soldiers, he is one of the people who led to their final tragic ending!More direct leader!
Therefore, he is indeed a hero in general terms, but in the eyes of those fighters, I don't think he may be! "
