Chapter 376 Chang'e and Houyi

"Chang'e, the leading actress of this play!"

Han Sanping was surprised to hear Jiang Heng say this, because he keenly noticed that Jiang Heng seemed to be interested in using new people!

"The girls under your command are all extremely beautiful. Why didn't you consider them?"

Jiang Heng said: "That also needs to be considered, the compatibility between the actor and the role!"

Han Sanping laughed, "It's not easy!"

"You said that as if I only wanted to praise them!"

Han Sanping wanted to say, isn’t it?
Of course, this is just something I thought about, and it’s not something I can say to your face.

"The role of Chang'e is not played well by most actresses!"

Han Sanping thought about the actress his friend mentioned and it didn't seem very suitable.

Jiang Heng said: "Of course, I didn't even consider the ones under the company. I guess in the end, I will have to call a group of people to audition."

"Well, there has to be this process. What about the male characters?"

Jiang Heng said: "There are more men involved. I plan to split this drama into two parts, involving many characters!"

Han Sanping was surprised when he heard this: "How many scenes will be filmed in two parts? This is really a big movie!"

Jiang Heng said: "There is no way. There is too much content involved. If we cut out a large amount of it, it will be boring. I don't like doing that either!"

"Then your film is quite difficult to make!"

At this point, the only character mentioned was Chang'e. The actress Han Sanping wanted to recommend was not suitable, so he didn't plan to mention it anymore.

After all, being rejected in person is quite hurtful, and Mr. Han also wants to save face.

We said we could have dinner together when we were not busy, and then the phone call ended.

Jiang Heng began to think about the selection of the male lead Hou Yi.

First of all, there is no need to consider directing and acting in the film yourself.

Firstly, the film requires huge investment and takes a long time to make, so the workload is very heavy during shooting.

Directing and acting by yourself is very tiring, and it’s really not worth it.

Besides, he has played Yang Jian and is considered a member of the "Mythological Movie Universe", so it would be difficult for him to play the role of Hou Yi again.

If "Investiture of the Gods" is filmed in the future and there is a plot where Yang Jian and Hou Yi appear together, it would be difficult for him to play both roles. It would be better to find a professional actor!
Then, this actor must have the following characteristics, first of all, he must be handsome!
In fact, in the film and television industry, appearance is really a hard indicator, and it is applied to many types of actors.

Why can't other comedians reach Stephen Chow's level?
Acting skills and abilities are another matter, but in terms of appearance, Zhou Xingxing is truly a crushing presence compared to other comedians of the same period.

As for action actors, Jet Li's looks and moves are far superior to those who came after him, so he is the unsurpassed "Kung Fu Emperor"!

Therefore, for the character of Hou Yi, being handsome is a must!

The second is that you need to have a good figure, be tall and a little stronger.

Although Houyi is a "shooter" type wizard, his body cannot be too thin.

Once these rules and regulations were put in place, there were not many suitable actors left in the industry.

For example, Huang Xiaoming, who has a good relationship with Jiang Heng and has worked with him before, is not very suitable. He has played a lot of domineering boss roles in the past two years and has become more and more greasy!

As for Hu Chuan, his ancient costume look is indeed okay, but I always feel that he doesn’t fit the style of Hou Yi.

As for Zhang Ruoyun, who had collaborated with him more recently, he seemed a little thinner. Thinking of Han Tong, with whom he had collaborated several times but always in supporting roles, he pressed the bell on the table and asked his assistant Cui Zhenzhen to come in.

"Call Han Dong's agent and tell him that I want to see Han Dong in the office tomorrow!"

"Okay, Director Jiang, I'll go and call right away. You don't have anything else to say, right?"

Seeing Jiang Heng shaking his head slightly, Cui Zhenzhen hurried out, secretly blaming herself at the same time.

She was really confused. She should just do whatever Director Jiang said. Why asked so many questions?
As for Han Dong's agent, he might have some questions, but he basically rushed over without stopping with his questions!
The news that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures were going to shoot the prehistoric fantasy special effects blockbuster "War of Liches" has been circulating for a long time. How could he not know what "Director Jiang's call" meant at this moment?
No matter how important the role is, you still have to ask for leave and rush to the capital.

What's more, Han Dong is mainly involved in the TV drama circle at the moment, so he can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

But in Hengdian, Han Dong's agent didn't react immediately after receiving the call.

He immediately fell into a state of ecstasy, and said very politely to Cui Zhenzhen on the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay, thank you very much, and please tell Director Jiang that we will definitely be able to rush to the iQiyi Film Building tomorrow morning, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, the agent rushed to the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" scenic area and found Han Dong who was filming there.

"I've already booked the tickets. I'll ask the director for leave and come back to Beijing with me!"

"Capital?"

Han Dong's eyes lit up, obviously thinking that there might be good news from iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but he was a little hesitant to believe it.

"Yes, Director Jiang's assistant just called and asked you to show up in Director Jiang's office tomorrow morning!"

"Really?"

Han Dong's eyes were bright at this moment, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.

He has collaborated with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video several times in recent years. It is obviously impossible for him to say that he did not look forward to playing the leading role.

It’s just that the probability is too low and the resources are too good, it’s like a huge reward from heaven, it’s so dreamy that he can’t believe it!
The agent smiled, "Of course it's true. Don't say anything more. My current mission is to return to Beijing as soon as possible, have a good rest, and go to the audition in a brand new state tomorrow!"

Director Han nodded slightly and hurried to ask the director for leave.

The latter is naturally unwilling to do so. Who will be held responsible if the filming is delayed and losses are caused to the crew?

Seeing that the director was really slow, the agent couldn't help but tell him the real reason.

"Jiang, Director Jiang? Is he going to play the male lead?"

Han Dong hurriedly explained: "No, I just went there for an audition!"

"Oh, oh! Director Jiang is the pride of our Chinese entertainment industry. Since he needs you, Teacher... Han Dong... just go there right away!"

He originally wanted to call her Xiao Han as usual, but suddenly he felt it was inappropriate.

Calling him by his name seemed disrespectful, so I added the word "teacher" at the end.

He immediately pondered, "If Han Tong plays the male lead in Jiang Heng's new film, he will definitely become a top star. Wouldn't my film benefit from this? It might even become a big hit!"

Thinking of this, the round, fat face smiled even brighter, "Teacher Han Dong, you don't have to rush back this time. Director Jiang's work is more important. Finish it first. We can reshoot the scenes here later at worst!"

Han Dong hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, I will definitely come back as soon as possible to finish filming the show!"

The director thought to himself, "Your efforts in acting here are not as great as your contribution to this drama as playing the male lead in Director Jiang's new film!"

However, it is not easy to say it so directly, and the director can only put on a "righteous" look, as if he admires Jiang Heng very much and wants to contribute to Chinese-language films.

After the crew had made all the arrangements, Han Dong and his team drove to Yiwu Airport and arrived in Beijing at night.
