tearjerker director

Chapter 440: If you have the ability, go talk to Director Li yourself.
"This Gui Jiao Qi is indeed outstanding, but is this kind of role not difficult to find?" On the contrary, Yuan Baye felt that the role of Gui Jiao Qi was not difficult to find.

Li Yi was a little surprised.

"What do you mean? Master Ba has someone to choose?" Li Yi was somewhat curious.

"If you want to say that the role of Huang Feihong is not suitable for non-famous actors, after all, he is the soul of the entire film, and you have to make a trilogy, so for the role of Huang Feihong, Mr. Zhao Qian relies on his previous work "One Knife" Tan Sitong of "Allure" is already competent, while Gui Jiao Qi seems to have high requirements, but in fact it is not." Yuan Baye said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Yi vaguely grasped something, but it was still difficult to understand for a while.

"First of all, tell me what you think about the character Gui Jiao Qi." Yuan Baye said with a smile.

"Gui Jiao Qi, whose original name is Liu Qi. He once served as the head coachman on Xi'anmen Street. Although he was born as a coolie driver, he has good martial arts, especially in the lower body, and his kicks are fast and ruthless. He has few opponents in the capital. Gui Jiao Qi is more than brave. , but he was single-minded and was used by traitors. He was lured to the Guangdong Guild Hall for a kick-off, seriously injuring Huang Feihong's father Huang Qiying. Later, during the Lion King Conference preview match with Liang Kuan, he was entangled and was accidentally hit by a collapsed horse stable and injured his thigh. , let alone martial arts, he still needs a crutch to walk, so he has lost all use value and was ruthlessly abandoned. Fortunately, Huang Feihong ignored the past grievances and treated him carefully. He finally cured his injured leg and regained health. After solving his misunderstanding about Huang Feihong, he became a disciple of Yu Bao. Zhilin helped Huang Feihong win the Lion King gold medal in the Lion King Conference." Li Yi explained the character background of Gui Jiao Qi.

Then he added: "This can be said to be a figure at the bottom of society. He is a coachman and a coolie, so the requirements for appearance do not need to be so high, but he is a ruthless person, so in appearance, he is not that tall. A mighty character, and at the same time, this character must be accomplished in footwork." As he spoke, Li Yi suddenly realized.

These days, there are indeed very few kung fu stars in the entertainment industry, but when it comes to action actors, martial artists, and other artists who are good at kung fu, but have trouble getting ahead due to their appearance and lack of opportunities, it’s really not that difficult. try to find.

Li Yi was also in darkness before, but now Yuan Baye can tell the truth with one word.

Of course, in fact, the character of Gui Jiao Qi will not appear until the third part, so it is not that urgent.

"Well, Master Ba, this is an opportunity for the martial arts warriors who have been silently dedicated. Let's choose this role directly from the current martial arts and martial arts. I will not interfere and leave it to you, Master Ba, to choose. , how about it?" Li Yi thought for a while and said.

Master Yuan Ba's eyes suddenly lit up.

He has read the script and can say that although Gui Jiaoqi only appeared in the last part of the trilogy of "Once Upon a Time", it seems that he appeared in the first part with Zhu Zhurong, Liang Kuan and others and continued throughout the trilogy. Compared with other actors, Gui Jiao Qi doesn't seem to have many roles, but in terms of role setting, Gui Jiao Qi is more distinctive than Liang Kuan and Zhu Rong, because whether Liang Kuan or Zhu Rong, in fact, from the perspective of the movie Judging from the structure of the game, they are actually more of embellishments, or in other words, indispensable people around the protagonist who are responsible for making jokes, but Gui Jiao Qi is completely different.

His characteristics are very obvious. If anyone plays this role, even if he was unknown before, this role alone is enough to make the actor skyrocket.

As for Wu Xing and Wu Ti, the former is okay. They rarely fight alone, but Wu Ti is really different. It can be said that Wu Ti is a group of people who really risk their lives. However, they are in the crew. Status is often the lowest.

Because they are just substitutes. The key is that the character of Gui Jiao Qi, to a certain extent, is very similar to a person in Wu Tai's profession. He also risks his life to fight for his future.

Similarly, injuries to substitutes can be said to be commonplace, because most of the time, when they play, it means difficulty and high risk.

And after being injured, how many people will care about a martial artist?
Just like Gui Jiao Qi in the movie, he was injured, but was rescued by his enemy Huang Feihong, but his former boss just threw him away as trash.

After that, Gui Jiao Qi became a disciple of Huang Feihong. Even though his status was the same, it could be said that his status was completely different.This point can be said to be very similar to the actor who played Gui Jiao Qi to some extent.

Master Yuan Ba ​​is a martial artist himself. It can be said that he has experienced many more crews than Li Yi. What kind of treatment does Wu Ti receive on a regular basis?
He couldn't be more aware, in fact!
Different from walk-ons, anyone can play a walk-on, but not everyone can be a substitute.

Most of Wu Ti have some kung fu skills, so it is not difficult to find a suitable candidate for Gui Jiao Qi!

"Not only Gui Jiao Qi, there are also many minor supporting roles in the film that require kung fu, or special guests. This time we chose those who have kung fu skills." Li Yi continued with a smile.

Master Yuan Ba ​​was also a little surprised.

To be honest, other movies with such small supporting roles, small special appointments, etc. are really not worth mentioning, but Li Yi's movies, as long as your name can appear in the cast list, it can be said that for any unknown entertainment For those at the bottom of the industry, this is definitely an extremely rich resume.

It can be said that almost half of the casting of the characters has been completed.

Li Yi doesn't need to worry about the rest.

The "Once Upon a Time" trilogy series was quickly approved.

After this news came out, it can be said that it will definitely have a huge impact on the Chinese film industry.

If it is said that "One Sword Allure" made many people hesitate to move forward, after all, the decline of martial arts cannot be revived by a movie.

But one movie doesn’t work, so what if there are three movies, or even a trilogy?
At the same time, this is also extremely shocking news for domestic star actors.

That's Li Yi's movie!
Who is Zhao Qian?Who knew before?
However, in the movie "One Knife, All That", he starred as Tan Sitong, and he was instantly remembered by countless people.

One step to the sky!

The key is that before it was just one film, but this time it is a trilogy, naturally more actors are needed and there are naturally more opportunities.

For a time, the actors in the entertainment industry could be said to be like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and they began to look for connections and connections.

And soon another news came out, which caused an uproar in the industry.

One of the important characters in "Once Upon a Time", Gui Jiao Qi, can be said to be a character who can't fall behind even when facing the great master Huang Feihong in the movie. Li Yi actually decided to choose someone from the unknown Wu Tai.

It can be said that it is somewhat difficult to understand for many people.

What's interesting is that Wu Ti, a group that was not paid attention to before, instantly became the object of everyone's attention. There is no way, because it can be said that from this moment on, some people in Wu Ti will fly up the branches and become phoenixes. This is foreseeable of.

What's even more interesting is that after the news came out and was confirmed by Li Yi and Yuan Baye, Wu Dai, who was not loved by his grandfather and disliked by his grandma, in each crew actually had his salary increased a lot.

For people in Wu Ti's group, they were a little baffled by the news at first.

But it soon became a sensation.

Because they received news from the industry that this time it was true, and there was no threshold. As long as they were martial artists and had skills, they could participate in the audition, and the actors to be recruited were not just Guijiaoqi, "Huang Jiao Qi" There are a large number of other characters in the "Phenom" series of movies, and they will also be recruited from the military.

For the warriors, this is naturally great news.

Xiong Jun is a martial artist. He started practicing martial arts at the age of 12, later joined the martial arts team, won many championships, and then entered the film and television industry.

It's a pity that when he entered the industry, kung fu movies were already in decline, let alone martial arts movies.

Of course, compared to other martial arts fighters, Xiong Jun's situation is much better, because he has real kung fu, and as a martial arts champion, although he is only a provincial martial arts champion, he is not something ordinary people can do. Than.

Therefore, after he entered the industry, although he started working as a martial artist, he also appeared in many films.

It's just a pity that a director once told him that with his ordinary appearance, if he wants to be famous, unless kung fu movies are revived and become popular again, it will be almost impossible for him to get ahead.This is also true. After many years of wasted time, Xiong Jun, who is now in his thirties, has actually begun to think about quitting.

He has even thought about what he will do after quitting, such as opening a martial arts gym or setting up a training class or something.

With his status as a martial arts champion, he has no worries.

It's just that I'm still a little reluctant.

"Brother Xiong, good news, does Director Li Yi know?"

"I know, what's wrong? You mean to say that Gui Jiaoqi's character in "Once Upon a Time" is right? Do you believe that?" Xiong Jun is not a newcomer. Although he is not famous in this industry, he knows that a It is simply wishful thinking for an actor with no background to play such an important role.

Not to mention, it was Li Yi's movie. An unknown martial artist with no background wanted to star in it?
Want to eat fart?

He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky.

"But you have to give it a try, right? Don't you know someone from Yuan's class? Just call and ask and you will know. Let me tell you, would you be willing not to give it a try?" asked my old friend.

Xiong Jun asked himself if he was willing?
Of course not reconciled!

Nowadays, martial arts has long been in decline, and it is very embarrassing. The film and television industry actually does not need people with real kung fu like him, because although people don't know real kung fu, they can just perform the tricks beautifully.

"Then let me ask!" Xiong Jun finally couldn't help it.

I called a member of the Yuan family class whom I had met by chance.

"It's true, but if you want to come, you have to hurry up. This time can be said to be a "gathering of experts." Although our eighth master is responsible for this matter, you also know that in our circle, even eighth master It’s difficult sometimes,” said a friend from Yuan’s class.

The same is true.

After the news came out, well-informed people immediately approached Master Yuan Ba.

Although it is said that Master Yuanba can be said to exist like a grand master in the martial arts, and it seems that he does not need to give face to anyone, but in fact this is not the case.

People can't help themselves in the martial arts. Yuan Baye does have a high status in the martial arts, but that is only limited to the martial arts.

In addition, the Yuan Family Class under him also needs to start work. Although the Yuan Family Class is very famous these days, in fact, due to the decline of kung fu movies, although some movies and TV series also need martial arts guidance teams, why would they use your Yuan Family Class? Home work?
Even because of Yuanjiaban's status in the industry, the fees are naturally higher, so the price/performance ratio is sometimes low.

For this reason, for some tasks, Yuan Baye also needs favors.

Favors are the hardest to repay.

Li Yi directly made a big star this time, and the martial arts trilogy was filmed consecutively. All fools know that as long as he can star in it, he will definitely become popular.

Moreover, the cost for entertainment companies to cultivate a star is really not low at all, but even so, no one can guarantee who will be popular.

But the important roles in Li Yi's movies can be guaranteed.

Therefore, as long as you are serious about such an opportunity, you will never want to miss it.

PR Yuan Ba ​​Ye is much easier than PR Li Yi.

After all, Li Yi himself is a big capital, and he is also a big director. He has a transcendent status. He can not give face to anyone, and there is nothing you can do against him.

Because he has what you need, but you don’t have what others need!
But Master Yuanba is different.

So Master Yuan Ba ​​is also very anxious recently, because he has received too many people who want to leave his relationship.

Many of them want him to return favors!
This made Master Yuan Ba ​​once again feel how terrifying Li Yi's influence was.

At the beginning, he also thought about selecting people from Wudai this time, but now he suddenly realized that he underestimated the influence of Li Yi's movies and overestimated himself.

But he also knows that Li Yi is not a fool. Although people say that they leave the matter to him, it is a sign of trust in him, but he believes that if he really dares to fool Li Yi, how he came will be how he will be sent. Walk.

Li Yi gave him face?

Of course I will!But this is Li Yi's movie, and he is the real controller.

Naturally, Li Yi didn't know that Master Yuan Ba ​​was very worried about the casting.

In fact, Li Yi underestimated the temptation of taking shortcuts and becoming famous for those people.

Of course he didn't have the heart to care about those things.

When Master Yuan Ba ​​saw that there were so many people who wanted to leave Guanxi, it was just right, so let's have a big contest of counting balls!
It sounds funny. What era are you in, and you are still competing in martial arts?

But after hearing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up.

"This is good, but will there be any problems?" Li Yi actually thinks that the martial arts competition is good and fair, right?

But for a martial arts competition, he doesn't want a performance-style competition, but if it's a real fight, it won't be easy.

"Don't worry, we have experience in this, and it's a small-scale competition. Just agree to it!" Master Yuanba said with a smile.

Li Yi naturally didn't care.

But after Li Yi agreed, Master Yuan Ba ​​felt relieved because he directly told other people who wanted to have a relationship that it was Li Yi's decision.

I left myself completely alone.

If you have the ability, go find Li Yi yourself!
