tearjerker director

Chapter 261 Weird group test

After the broadcast of "Today's VIP" on Hong Kong Island TV.

The entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is completely blown up.

Because, Li Yi personally admitted that this time "The King of Comedy" is about the struggle history of running a trick, so the publicity of the casting can be regarded as giving all Hong Kong Island actors a chance!
For countless actors who couldn't find a chance, this can definitely be said to be an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Moreover, not only the protagonist, but also the supporting roles, no matter how bad they are, they can also act as extras.

And the media and movie fans in the same mainland also exploded.

"Li Yi's new film "The King of Comedy" is not a comedy? Is the king of comedy the king of tragedy?"

"The king of tragedy filmed "The King of Comedy", telling the history of struggles of little people?"

"Li Yibo's "The King of Comedy" may not be a comedy, transformation may just be illusory!"

And Li Yi's fans were also dumbfounded.

"What the hell? Tell me something very tragic. "The King of Comedy" isn't a comedy?"

"As expected of you, director dog, who sells dog meat as a sheep's trick, if my grandma doesn't support my uncle, I will obey you!"

"Director Dog, you made me happy for nothing. I thought I could finally have a good laugh, but you told me it wasn't a comedy?"

"I'm a bit lost, so the question is, is "The King of Comedy" a comedy or a tragedy?"

At the same time, "The King of Comedy" has adopted a Hong Kong-wide class, which has indeed caused a little controversy.

"The "King of Comedy" has an open casting call, but it is placed on Hong Kong Island. What does Li Yi mean?"

"What else could it mean? The truth is revealed! He is the director of Hong Kong Island!"

But such controversies were quickly drowned out by more supportive voices.

"Hehe, don't come here to show your sense of presence and rhythm. Everyone has said that the movie is inspired by the experiences of Li Yi's father Li Zhenye and the deceased Uncle Da. Struggle history, what's wrong with using all-Hong Kong classes?"

"When did Huaguo become as virtuous as Hollywood? If Hollywood doesn't use black people, it will be said to be discriminatory. Why do you feel discriminated against when they use Hong Kong actors instead of mainland actors when they are filming Hong Kong stories? !"

"I think it's normal. Where the background in the movie is placed, we can use actors from that place. There's nothing wrong with it!"

"Li Yi's past movies have always only selected suitable ones. Since he thinks that Hong Kong Island actors are more suitable this time, what's the problem?"

Such a result, on the contrary, surprised Li Yi.

In fact, he was ready to be questioned, but in fact, he underestimated his own influence.

Compared with other Hong Kong Island directors, Li Yi can be said to have a very good impression on mainland audiences, especially in terms of the use of actors.

After all, Li Yi's previous films were not limited to regions at all. There were Hong Kong Island actors and Mainland actors. In the earliest days, Li Yi's filming of "Mom Loves Me Again" was canceled because Wu Ting couldn't speak Mandarin well.

So now Li Yi is filming the stories of the older generation in Hong Kong Island, so it is normal to use actors from Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, some media originally wanted to bring a rhythm, but they were all warned.

As for where the warning comes from, I won't say much.

But it also let them know that Li Yi has long been different from other Hong Kong directors!

A filmmaker from Hong Kong Island can produce a work like "Things About That Rabbit That Year". Some small media may not understand it, but which of those big media will not understand the meaning contained in it?

"King of Comedy" said that all auditions are open, but in fact, the scope of the open audition for the protagonist is still relatively small.

Most of them require some acting experience.

Although the male protagonist in it plays a small character, a walk-on, it doesn't mean that Li Yi really dares to use a walk-on to play the leading role.

Unless the other party is really outstanding, exceptionally outstanding, but then again, if it is really that excellent and outstanding, it would not still be a walk-on.

Therefore, in this regard, although there are still quite a few candidates for the audition, most of them have at least some acting experience.

For example, like Lin Jinrong earlier!

However, the audition for supporting roles is indeed an open audition. Of course, because some supporting roles have age requirements, in fact, there are not so many people auditioning.

For example, the role of Chang Ji (undercover) played by Uncle Da in the original version has requirements for age.

And those who are still playing tricks at that age are rare after all.

So in fact, the only roles that really open audition without too much threshold are those neighbors who don't have many roles, and "Hong Ye", "Ji Ge", "Hong Ye's men" and "protection fees" who have more roles. "Wait a minute.

These roles, those famous actors are not looked down upon, and most of these actors need more distinctive actors to play, if they can be selected from the public casting, of course it is the best.

But in fact, although it seems that the number of auditions for the main roles is the least, the competition is actually more intense.

For example, the role of the leading actor Yin Tianqiu, after preliminary screening, there are only eight actors left.

What's interesting is that there is also an old acquaintance of Li Yi, Wu Ting!

There were eight people in the selection of the leading actor in "The King of Comedy", so Li Yi simply gave a special group test!
That is to say, let these eight actors who participated in the audition audition at the same time!
The audition questions are exactly the same.

After getting the questions for the audition, the eight people all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because there were two audition questions, one was that Yin Tianqiu was shot to death by Du Juaner after he changed into a priest's costume, but until Du Juaner finished solving all the bad guys, Yin Tianchou was still acting "inner drama" behind.

In other words, for this topic, the actors are asked to play corpses, but they are not ordinary "corpses", but corpses that will never die. They are corpses that are obviously dead but refuse to die, and add drama to themselves.

This topic can be said to make the eight actors who auditioned a little confused.

Because, needless to say, these people, including Wu Ting, Uncle Da's son, Zhou Xing, is also an actor who has acted in many dramas. Others who can enter the final audition list have their own masterpieces.

But at this time, they were all dumbfounded.

Because of this kind of play, they really haven't acted in it before!
It's really weird!
And the second question is even more nonsense.

Because, the second question is to let them act as corpses directly!
If it wasn't for the group audition, Wu Ting would definitely think that Li Yi was targeting him, what the hell is this audition!
In fact, the two questions Li Yi asked naturally had his deep meaning.

For example, the first substitute actually tests the basic acting skills of an actor. First of all, you are asked to act as a corpse, but it is a corpse that refuses to die, a corpse for your own inner drama.

So at this time, how to act depends on the actor's acting skills.

Because you can’t be too exaggerated, too exaggerated, it’s not a corpse.

And don't be too restrained, because in that case, it will really be a corpse again!
