Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 142: Get the internship stamp, come quickly!

There is no doubt that the role of Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword" is definitely one of the important characters. He occupies a lot of scenes, and in the plot, he has a lot of interactions with Li Yunlong.

It is not easy for ordinary actors to grasp such a role.

Not to mention that it takes time for actors to adapt to their roles.

Time waits for no one now. He originally thought that there should be enough actors, but he never expected that he would make such a mistake.

With so many roles, all it takes is this one to make it better!
Putting aside the question of whether it is too late or not, let's just talk about this film. It is a product of national cooperation. Actors cannot be chosen casually. It does not mean that anyone you think can act in it can act in it. This does not exist.

Then comes the biggest problem, which is still a matter of time. There is only one week left before the shooting starts. During this week, it is very difficult to familiarize yourself with the script for such an important role. It is not something you can do once you have chosen someone.

Isn’t this the same situation as when “Let the Bullets Fly” was filmed?
Of course, having experienced similar situations, Xia Yuan naturally had experience this time, and he knew how to deal with similar situations.

"Let me do it." Xia Yuan sighed helplessly.

Since there is no one to choose and no actor to be found, there is nothing else to do but him to do it himself.

Anyway, this is not the first time that I have directed and acted in the film myself. No matter how difficult the situation is this time, can it be more difficult than the last time when I made "Let the Bullets Fly"?
At that time, there was no one to play the leading role, but this time it’s okay, I’m not the leading role.

However, the situation wasn't much better and he was still under a lot of pressure.

After all, when he played Zhang Mazi before, he acted opposite two movie emperors.

This time, he is acting opposite a national-level actor who has the title of General on his shoulders.

All I can say is that the pressure will only get greater, not less.

Li Youbin also praised: "There are really not many young people like you in the industry now, who can direct and act. The gold content of your new play is still very high."

"Teacher Li, thank you for your compliment." Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

"But back then, I was also a famous talent in the new drama." Li Youbin laughed, wearing a military uniform, very generous: "Old Li, I am also from the new drama. Back then, I was the first in my major, and this time it's you, and we just have different majors."

Yes, that's right. In fact, Li Youbin is Xia Yuan's senior and old schoolmate. They are both actors and staff members of the new drama.

Xia Yuan looked at the man who had already started laughing heartily and even called him "Old Li" all the time, and he began to think in his heart.

Because, although Li Youbin’s surname is also Li, Li Youbin is actually a relatively reserved person and a cultured person.

He is a very polite person, completely different from the rough and uncouth temperament of Li Yunlong in the play.

But now, Li Youbin has begun to experience some similar feelings.

Xia Yuan understood a little and asked, "Teacher Li Youbin, are you a methodist?"

"Well, our Li is an expressionist." Li Youbin nodded: "Aren't we going to start shooting soon? From now on, just call me Li Yunlong."

Xia Yuan suddenly realized.

It turns out that Li Youbin is a method actor, which makes sense. He has already started to find the feeling and can get into the role at any time.

After all, as one of the three major techniques, method school itself is derived from experiential school, but it is also completely opposite to experiential school.

The experiential school is to treat yourself as a character.

However, the method school analyzes the character and tries to understand it. The big difference is that the method school will also imitate the character's every move outside the play.

And no one in the crew had any objection to Xia Yuan playing the role of Chu Yunfei.

After all, this is the situation. They really have no other actors, and it is obviously too late to find someone else now.

Xia Yuan's acting skills have also been recognized by the market. The recent "Let the Bullets Fly" was so popular that they will also cooperate with Xia Yuan in the future, so naturally they have watched it one by one in the follow-up.

I have to say, you won't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it. Both Xia Yuan's directing ability and his acting skills are worthy of recognition.

Now they are no longer curious about why Xia Yuan was assigned here, and why the higher-ups chose Xia Yuan.

Maybe Xia Yuan has some background, but this is definitely not the main reason.

In their eyes, Xia Yuan's talents alone were completely worth it.

After watching some of Xia Yuan's works, they understood that this time it was not as simple as accompanying the prince to study, but he really wanted to do something. However, Chu Yunfei's problem was solved, and it was finally decided that Xia Yuan himself would play the role and play against Li Youbin.

But there is still a big problem that has not been solved, that is, there are not enough extras.

Their first film set is still in the countryside. If it were in a film and television city, there would be enough extras. There would be more than enough extras there, after all, it is always crowded with all kinds of people who are stars, and there would be quite a few extras wherever you look.

But it is totally unrealistic to find so many extras for this place. It is also impossible to find extras from film and television cities such as Shudian and then bring them here.

First, there is not enough time.

Second, the cost is too high.

Although they now have 100 million in funding, the money cannot be wasted like this.

But at this time, the smart guy in their crew would jump out and give a bad idea.

There is basically such a smart person in every group. They can often say shocking things and give the most speechless and bad ideas.

And in Xia Yuan's case, this smart guy is Chu Zhongtian.
Yes, that's right. Where Xia Yuan is, how can Chu Zhongtian not be there?

As Xia Yuan's beloved relative and brother, Chu Zhongtian would naturally be indispensable. He would definitely take Chu Zhongtian with him to play and reserve a good role for him.

I believe Chu Zhongtian will always remember his kindness.

Naturally, this time too.

This time, Xia Yuan gave Chu Zhongtian the role of Zhu Ziming.
Before Chu Zhongtian even read the script, Xia Yuan said to the furious Chu Zhongtian: "Really, this is a good role, the Eighth Route Army! This is a role that goes to the battlefield, and the part is not small. Although you are not the protagonist, you will definitely be able to attract enough attention from the audience!"

After saying that, he patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and said, “Big egg, do you believe me?”

"I don't believe in shit. I believe your mom selling fried dough twists!" Chu Zhongtian immediately burst into resentment: "You big bitch, I won't do it to you!"

It was clearly agreed that I would be the protagonist, not a supporting role.

In the end, you tell him that he was rarely seen as a supporting actor for Goujian?
The most popular character in the whole drama is a rare person, not the underground party member he played.
Then, Xia Yuan directly threw out the script and pointed at the name in front of the script: "Look for yourself!"

Then, Chu Zhongtian took a look.

[Zhu Ziming's part: Security officer of the 129th Brigade Independent Regiment of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army]

Are they really the Eighth Route Army?
Chu Zhongtian was ready to make a move.

It seems that there is no pitfall this time?

So he gritted his teeth and decided to trust Xia Yuan, the son of a bitch, one last time: "Okay! I'll act!"

He just wants to play some normal roles, some positive roles. Is that so difficult?

So, the role of Zhu Ziming fell to Chu Zhongtian.

But he never expected that when he finished reading the script.
Chuzhong Tianma.

He was indeed an officer of the Independent Regiment, but the problem occurred when Zhu Ziming was unfortunately captured during a mission. During the interrogation, Yamamoto Ikki brutally threatened to torture him to death with 3600 cuts. Zhu Ziming finally wavered and chose to betray the regiment, becoming an accomplice of the Japanese and returning to the Independent Regiment.

Even if they were released and their lives were no longer threatened, they still worked like dogs for the Japanese and sold out their compatriots without hesitation and decisively.

Selling confidence, selling style.

I've been fooled again, my family. This time I'm not just playing the supporting role to highlight the rare thing.

This time it's a direct performance, which is really rare.
This is the whole story.

There was no other way. This time it was a collaboration, and bringing Chu Zhongtian in to play was already the limit for him.

Dan Da, this is an opportunity. It depends on you whether you can grasp it. It's not easy for us to squeeze a role for you from the gaps in the art organization.

At this time, the clever Chu Zhongtian, wearing his own patinated costume, said dimly, "It's easy to find extras, isn't it? Just post a message online, use your big account, and say something like, 'The crew is short of extras, stupid people, lots of money, come quickly, and stamp them with an internship stamp, and you just wait and see, we'll have as many as you want, as many as you want."
