At the beginning, in fact, at least half of the superstar actors in China said that they were willing to play "The Gift of Room No. 7" no matter what role they played out of politeness.
It seems a bit embarrassing to give them a supporting role.
Maybe after they think about it, they will politely refuse.
Of course, if it is starring Lee Cheng Long, then all the superstars will definitely be willing to fight hard for it.
For example, actor Sun Daha and movie star Fan Yuyue are the two most determined. They also know that each other is pursuing the role of Jackie Chan.
It's just that Zhu Mei has never confirmed with them who will star.
And now the three movie stars from Riben and Taiji Kingdom have all "joyfully" joined the cast of "The Gift of Room No. 7", playing two main supporting roles and a special cameo role.
Needless to say, Ha Kang-hyun's role as director is just soy sauce. Even if he performs well, it will not affect the evaluation of other actors.
But the roles of Jiang Shiyu and Naito Masato are very important.
A movie that relies solely on one male protagonist or one female protagonist will most likely not become a classic.
Except for one-man movies like "Isolation" and "Buried Alive".
But if you think about it carefully, even if the two movies above can be called classics, there is no way they can become classic movies that will be circulated for a long time.
A classic movie that will last forever must have a good leading role and a good supporting role.
Only by working together to create a movie can we create a classic that will be passed down forever.
For example, "The Blue Bridge" from decades ago, and "Gone with the Wind" from a little further away.
The same is true for modern classics handed down from ancient times.
Why is "The Gift of Room No. 7" so touching
Of course, it is the sincere relationship between the two father and daughter that breeds hope amidst despair.
But how do such feelings come to the fore
Isn't it just relying on a group of villains and decent supporting characters
The villain uses evil, shameless, and despicable methods to sharpen the relationship between father and daughter again and again, and to sublimate the relationship.
Decent people use enthusiasm, tolerance, understanding, support and other means to help father and daughter again and again, so that they can get comfort and help in the darkness and despair. This shows the true love in the world.
Therefore, in "The Gift of Room 7", these five prisoners in Room 7 are also the focus.
Their performance is directly related to the quality of the movie.
After Shen Huan saw "The Gift of Room No. 7" in another world, he felt that the five supporting actors really performed well, and then he went to read their information.
After looking at the results, I realized that they are all extremely powerful actors from Tai Chi Country, and each of them has the ability to play the leading role in a movie.
They joined forces to create this classic.
Therefore, Shen Huan had already told Zhu Mei that all good actors must be used.
It's not a famous one, it doesn't matter if it's famous or not, but it must be an actor with good acting skills.
Of course, those with good acting skills and great reputation are most welcome.
Zhu Mei chose Shanhai.com to cooperate with this factor.
After all, Shanhai.com is rich and can pay a lot of money to hire celebrities to act.
Otherwise, if you choose an ordinary film company and don’t have enough money, how can you hire good film actors
Back to casting.
After hearing that both Japan and Tai Chi had sent movie stars to play major supporting roles, many young actors from China who originally wanted to play supporting roles stopped immediately.
They know that their own level is far from being comparable to other movie stars.
If the acting is not good, it will bring disgrace to Chinese actors.
On the contrary, some talented actors and celebrities who had no intention of joining in the fun actually became interested.
It is a rare opportunity for talented actors from three countries to compete together on the same stage.
As a result, Zhu Mei received many new audition requests.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important and sensational news is that a few days later, after two rounds of auditions, Zhu Mei decided on the actor who will play the leading actor Jackie Chan.
Actor Guo Hang.
As soon as the news came out, entertainment media across the country became a sensation.
Guo Hang's resume was immediately turned upside down.
A 31-year-old graduate of Shanghai Opera.
Before the age of 30, there was no chance to film within three years of graduation, so I could only act in plays.
Then he went to the film industry to play supporting roles for 4 years. The supporting role with the most scenes was only 5 minutes.
That is, when he was 30 years old, Guo Hang was invited by his schoolmate Zhu Mei to play the main supporting role of Ye Mao in "Love Letter".
But after this movie, he starred in supporting roles in three more movies, but still never had a leading role.
Unexpectedly, he defeated Sun Dahe and Fan Yuyue so quietly and became the protagonist Li Chenglong in the much-anticipated "The Gift of Room No. 7".
After seeing his resume, public opinion was of course turned upside down.
"It's over, it's over, I'm very optimistic about "The Gift of Room 7"!"
"Is this involved in a behind-the-scenes deal?"
"Even if there is no behind-the-scenes, it still has to be a matter of personal preference, right? Director Zhu Mei likes this type of actor?"
"I like having a useless role! The key is to be able to support this role! Jackie Chan is the most important actor in the whole movie, and his role is also the heaviest! If you find such a person to perform, aren't you afraid of collapse?"
"Yeah, it would be a joke if Guo Hang was defeated by the supporting characters of Riben and Taiji Kingdom!"
"Didn't Teacher Chu Liuxiang say anything? Are you allowing Zhu Mei to act like this?"
"Guo Hang is shameless enough. Don't you know how much he weighs? Do you dare to take a trip into this muddy water?"
“…”
The commotion outside naturally reached Guo Hang's ears.
When Zhu Mei called him to audition, she said that it was Teacher Chu Liuxiang who thought you were good, so she asked you to compete with Sun Dahe and Fan Yuyue.
Guo Hang didn't expect that after two rounds of auditions, he would actually get the role.
He knew that such a result would definitely be big news.
But no matter what others think or say, Guo Hang just wants to not let down the trust of teacher Chu Liuxiang, not let down the opportunity given by his senior sister, and not let others think that they are blind.
Guo Hang, who quietly disappeared from the public eye, did not express any opinions or determination to the outside world. He just stayed at home alone with the script, reading and figuring out the script desperately.
By the time he appeared in front of the crew in May, he had gained 30 kilograms and reached a weight of 150 kilograms. The skinny feeling had completely dissipated, and he became a fat man.
Everyone looks at him and talks to him as if this person is a bit demented and unresponsive.
The crew were all seasoned actors and capable actors, and they understood it as soon as they saw his posture.
This is a drama!
Guo Hang's heart has been immersed in the role of Li Chenglong.
Regardless of whether he can adjust in the future, he has invested all of himself in it and made himself Cheng Long.
Guo Hang's determination to enter the drama so long in advance is really unimaginable.
Zhu Mei was very pleased to see this scene.
As a useless actor, not only must he be good at seizing opportunities, but he must also push himself desperately, so that he can reach his limits or even break through them.
Now it seems that Guo Hang has achieved the first step.
Next, it depends on which one Guo Hang can achieve in the specific performance.
But no matter what, with the current starting point, Zhu Mei is looking forward to "The Gift of Room No. 7" even more.
Zhu Mei has already chosen the remaining three main supporting roles.
The swindler Park Won-sang is played by Peng Jigao from Beijing Dialect.
The model criminal, Bong-sik, who was convicted of robbery, is played by Lee Young-ji, who ranks second among the new film niche.
The last person to intimidate criminals is Lu Jiufeng, a young actor from the TV series.
These three are all powerful actors with impeccable acting skills, so Zhu Mei doesn't have to worry at all.
As for the only one she wasn't sure about, it was that one...
Zhu Mei looked at the little girl sitting on the high steps, swaying her short legs and looking at the setting sun in the distance.
An innocent and sweet smile appeared on her round face, and she was humming a song, as if she didn't feel that she was sitting on the steps of a prison.
The little girl's name is Yang Shu, a seven-year-old from Huajing.
Yang Shu not only won first place in the audition of 5,000 people, but he also defeated all the candidates that Zhu Mei originally selected.
It is hard to imagine that this little girl had no acting experience at all before participating in the audition, not even advertising experience.
The reason why she participated in this audition was entirely because of her mother-in-law who took her out to play. When she saw so many people lining up, she thought it was a child receiving some prize, so she took her granddaughter to queue up to participate.
As a result, Yang Shu passed all the tests and became the impeccable actor of Yiyuan in the whole crew. This was something Zhu Mei never expected.
Zhu Mei was a little worried. If it were during the actual filming, would Yang Shu, who had never acted before, suddenly suffer an emotional breakdown and lose the ability to maintain his condition
Let alone a child, even an adult actor will still not be able to perform well as long as his mentality is broken.
So Zhu Mei quietly prepared a young actor ranked second as a substitute.
But Zhu Mei particularly likes Yang Shu's innocence.
Her image and performance are exactly the same as described in the book.
Even Shen Huan exclaimed after watching the video sent to him, saying that Yang Shu was the Li Yiyuan in his mind.
Well, that's bullshit.
Shen Huan has watched the full version of "The Gift from Room No. 7".
This Yang Shu looks exactly like the original heroine, and even has a slightly more elf-like aura.
Somehow, it seemed that she was deciding that Li Yiyuan should be her! !
