Gastronomy God

Chapter 130 Actor Selection

"Director Zhang Xing, let's start officially. Let's start with the actors."

Cheng Xin was in an urgent mood and went straight to work.

"Okay. The shooting of this movie is quite simple, there are no complicated scenes, and the most important thing is the portrayal of the characters."

Director Zhang Xing nodded and called all the actors of the crew over.

It has to be said that every young person in the film and television industry is eager to make a movie.

Once they become a certain character in the movie, it means that they will get a huge fortune and become famous in one fell swoop.If the movies produced are good-looking and talked about, then the acting career of these actors will become smooth sailing.

The young and beautiful girls stood aside one by one, their eyes full of anticipation.

Cheng Xin had already said in advance that the filming of this movie does not require any big names, but veteran actors, and young people with a good attitude and love for actors.

The warden, Wade, and the two elderly characters, Cheng Xin immediately fell in love with the two old actors, He Fuxing and Meng Lai.The temperament exuded by the two old actors formed a huge contrast with these young actors.

From these two old actors, you can feel their unique temperament, which comes from the precipitation of multiple roles.

Without hesitation, it was them.

The next thing to choose, the main character is Andy, that is, Li Yang.The protagonist, the protagonist of this movie, in the movie, should not only express the anger of Li Yang being framed, but also show his strength and determination when he was insulted in prison, and fully show his wisdom when he found that the walls were not hard enough. The important thing is to always show Li Yang's desire for freedom.

In order to choose his ideal role, Cheng Xin decided to screen out his ideal person by asking questions first.

He wants to ask some deep questions about life, to test these young and handsome actors, to find out if there is something real in their skins.

It's very difficult to play the role of Li Yang well. It doesn't mean that you just need to be handsome, it's definitely not that simple.

A person like Li Yang reveals a deep yearning for freedom from the bottom of his heart.

People live in the world and must be bound by various rules. Have you really thought about what kind of life you want to live?

What kind of life experience do you want to gain?
The first question, Cheng Xin intends to ask:
"What are you living for?"

At this moment, there are about 30 young actors in the abandoned prison filming factory, all of whom were called to Cheng Xin by Director Zhang Xing.

Cheng Xin looked at them one by one.

To be honest, some of these actors are not as good-looking as himself.

Cheng Xin felt that he had no problem if he had to rely on his appearance.

"What are you living for?"

Cheng Xin asked the first young actor, this actor was Xiao Shuyu, and was stunned.

Why live?

What is the problem?Am I not an actor?I am not a philosopher!
"This teacher, did you ask the wrong person this question. We are here to make a movie."

Xiao Shuyu reminded Cheng Xindao.

Cheng Xin looked at the disapproval in the eyes of most of the actors, and felt that he needed to explain things clearly.

"The movie we are going to make is called Li Yang's Redemption. The main storyline told is a person who redeems himself in prison. I ask you some questions in order to choose someone who fits the image of the protagonist of this movie, so you should answer carefully That's it."

Cheng Xin explained lightly.

Only now did the 30 male actors understand why Cheng Xin suddenly asked them such a profound question.

"I live to be famous. I want to be richer, to be noticed by more people, and to go further in the entertainment industry."

Xiao Shuyu thought for a while, and frankly expressed his true inner thoughts.He felt that his honesty might impress Cheng Xin.

Unfortunately, it's not about being honest or not, it's about picking people, only about being fit or not.

"I live to become the next generation of actor, and I will use my strength to make films that everyone will recognize."

The second male actor said these words majesticly, causing everyone present to look at him.He has a confident look on his face, full of confidence in his future career as an actor.

Cheng Xin took a look. This actor was indeed very confident and full of expectations for the future, but unfortunately he was not the person he needed.

For other types of movies, Cheng Xin might have hired him. With his full confidence in himself, it is impossible for him to be worse in the future, and his acting skills should also be there.

But the characteristics of a person like Li Yang can only be shown if he has deeply examined life.

It is difficult for a naturally optimistic person to reproduce Li Yang's anxiety, entanglement, and struggle in prison.

"Both of you are not actors that this film needs, sorry."

"next."

Cheng Xin did not comfort them.The rules of the showbiz are like this, only a few people can stand in the center of the stage, and others can only be in the background.

"I live to dedicate myself to art. I am willing to make movies all my life and gradually improve my acting skills."

"I live for a better life, earn enough money by making movies, buy a big villa, drive a luxury car, marry a young model, and live a happy life."

"..."

Cheng Xin was not at all satisfied with the answer to this question one by one.

This is the so-called actor, just this level of understanding?

The level of understanding of life is at the same level as that of ordinary aunts and uncles who have never read a book.

Cheng Xin was very disappointed by the answers of the 20 people in front.

"Every day you don't dance is a disappointment to your life. I think you only need to live every day seriously and focus on the present moment. I live in the present moment."

"Well, good. You passed."

A tall, thin actor with a calm and melancholy expression passed Cheng Xin's test.

"I have never thought about what is the purpose of living. We came to this world, and we were not free. To live, I only want to be free, to live without restraint."

When it came to the last actor, Cheng Xin finally heard the answer he wanted most.

Looking at this most expected actor, his eyes are like stars, shining with wisdom.It can be seen that he is a wise man in life.

These two actors, one named Xiao Shuyu and the other named Jiang Jiajun, finally qualified.

Since the shooting location is very simple, mainly in prisons, the production cost of this film is not large.

The task given by the system is that one billion must be spent to complete the task of the system.

Therefore, in order to complete the task and increase the shooting cost, Cheng Xin had a bold idea.

One movie shot twice!

One version was filmed by Xiao Shuyu as Li Yanglai, and the other was filmed by Jiang Jiajun as Li Yanglai.

Finally, among the two completed films, choose the one with the best characterization as a movie.

Cheng Xin immediately expressed his thoughts:
"Director Zhang Xing, I am very satisfied with these two actors. I decided to give each of them a chance. I want to make the movie Li Yang's Redemption twice, with each of them starring once. Make the finished film with the best impression as a movie. What do you think?"

Zhang Xing never expected that Cheng Xin would have such a bold idea.

Shooting twice means doubling the budget.

"Here, Mr. Cheng Xin, making a movie is no joke. Shooting a script twice is equivalent to making two movies, doubling the overall budget."

Zhang Xing persuaded that Cheng Xin's remarks seemed a little naive.

"I will be responsible for the money issue. Director Zhang Xing doesn't have to worry. The location of this film is very simple, the cost is relatively low, and it doesn't matter if you shoot it twice. The overall budget I give you is one billion, and you can spend it as you like. My There is only one requirement, to make a good movie, and I hope to make a movie that will be famous in movie history."

Cheng Xin proudly said that the budget is not a problem, very proudly.

You don't understand Shenhao's world.

"Mr. Cheng Xin, this is the real artist. He treats money like dung, just to make a good movie. Okay, I will issue a military order today, and I must make this movie well. Make Li Yang's redemption movie. Famous to stay at the level of history."

Director Zhang Xing is excited, with a budget of one billion!
If you have enough money, just shoot!

This is what every director dreams of.

This time the script is so good and the budget is so sufficient, if the movie is not made well, Zhang Xing will feel ashamed

Xiao Shuyu and Jiang Jiajun were pleasantly surprised. Both of them can participate in the filming this time. This is their opportunity.

No matter whose version ends up being released as a movie, both of them will be tempered in the process of making this movie, getting closer and closer to being a real actor.

They are full of curiosity and gratitude to this boss who doesn't follow the routine, the investor.

Cheng Xin's redemption of Li Yang and the release of this movie are full of expectations.
