Chapter 69 Casting

Bai Xuemei, Huang Degui, Ding Xiuying, Huang Decheng...

The actors' faces went from blurry to clear...

If we don’t want to ruin the classic work of the previous life, we must be careful in casting the male and female protagonists Bai Xuemei and Huang Degui...

Li Qing reiterated it to himself again.

It would be a lie for Li Qing to say that he did not admire Director Li Yang of the previous life's "Blind Mountain", but now.

It is impossible for him to bring over 100% of the classics from the previous life. The right time, right place and right people are all essential.

Li Qing could only try his best to emulate his previous life's "Blind Mountain".

Fortunately, with a general impression, the subsequent scene editing can also refer to the storyboards of the previous film "Blind Mountain", so the difficulty of shooting "Blind Heart" will be reduced a lot.

"Xiao Yu, I have something else to do, so I'll trouble you to look after Qian Qian and the later personnel."

Although he felt a little sorry for Lin Xiaoyu, as if he had thrown a lot of things to her, Li Qing had no choice but to do so.

After all, apart from the nominal boss Li Qing, the newly established Qingyuan Studio currently only has Lin Xiaoyu as an employee who can be "exploited".

After seeing Lin Xiaoyu stunned for a while and then nodded stupidly, Li Qing retracted his gaze and said goodbye to Chu Qingcheng.

"Miss Chu, everything should be fine here for the next while, you can leave first."

"No, I'm playing with Qianqian, and it will be convenient for me to send them back later."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

Li Qing didn't care. Miss Chu Qingcheng looked very free anyway, and this might be a better thing.

With Chu Qingcheng around, the security forces protecting her can also take a look at Lin Xiaoyu and Su Qianqian.

Although Chu Qingcheng said before that Xu Longbo would not pose a personal threat, it is still safer this way.

Otherwise, Li Qing would go to them personally to have a good "chat" and compare their fighting strength.

Li Qing walked out of the room and looked at the ruffian-looking man in black not far away.

They were no longer blocking the door of the "Blind Heart" crew, but as soon as someone tried to come in, they would immediately surround them to stop them.

"Humph."

Li Qing snorted coldly, looked at the young men in black who glanced at him provocatively, and ignored them.

[I'll find a chance to deal with you later! ]

Putting his hands in his pockets, Li Qing turned and left.

Li Qing had taken the time to send a few messages to Zhang Liang, the intermediary who had arranged for him to work part-time on a daily basis on the "Star of Tomorrow" program crew.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If you want the right actors, you definitely need the right leader.

Among the people Li Qing currently knows, Zhang Liang is the one who most closely meets this condition.

It just so happened that Zhang Liang was in the western suburbs most of the time, so he could keep the appointment after agreeing on a time.

After leaving Huiguang Film and Television City, Li Qing walked for a distance to the teahouse where he had agreed to meet Zhang Liang.

In this area of ​​the western suburbs, there are the most coffee shops, teahouses and other places for leisure and conversation, almost one every few steps.

Pushing open the door, the interior decoration of the teahouse was in classical Chinese style. Many materials were made of wood, and the walls were decorated with calligraphy and paintings that Li Qing did not recognize.

The room is elegant, refined, and filled with the breath of cultured people. The room is also very quiet. Apart from the sound of tea brewing and tasting, there is only the subtle and pleasant chirping of birds, which fills the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The boss hung a few small birds indoors. They looked a bit like "marachnice birds", but were very docile and just quietly ate the feed in the cage.

Waving goodbye to the waiter, Li Qing indicated that he was there to keep an appointment.

Afterwards, Li Qing walked quietly towards the private room. The hall of the teahouse was prepared for tea drinkers, while the private room was more convenient for people who wanted to talk. The sound insulation was excellent, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed by other people's noise, nor would one make noise or disturb others.

When I entered the private room, Zhang Liang was already waiting inside.

"Sorry for the long wait, Brother Zhang."

Li Qing apologized with a smile. After all, as soon as he said that, the other person immediately agreed to meet him and even booked a room early and was waiting for him.

To be honest, Li Qing was a little surprised that Zhang Liang gave him such face even though they were not related.

"No, no, I just happened to be nearby."

Little did he know that Zhang Liang was also feeling a lot of emotion at this moment.

A young man who had been working for him as a day laborer not long ago suddenly approached him for cooperation a few days later, saying that he needed some extras and other personnel for the filming of a movie.

Zhang Liang instantly became alert and jumped very loudly.

His impression of Li Qing still remains from the time when he was recording the program "Star of Tomorrow", a singer who was a hidden talent.

I don’t even know when Li Qing went to make a movie.

"Brother Zhang, you should understand my request."

Li Qing pulled out a chair and sat down, speaking without much politeness.

"Well, you need my help in finding some extras, right?"

Zhang Liang nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Yes, but I also want to know if Brother Zhang has a few more suitable candidates."

Li Qing thought for a while and then told Bai Xuemei and Huang Degui the acting characteristics and requirements.

First of all, the actress who plays Bai Xuemei must be someone who can play the role of a young female college student. The heroine has a lot of parts in the play, and it can even be said to be her documentary. The core of everything revolves around being abducted by human traffickers to a remote mountainous area, sold as a wife, and then the heroine's desire to escape from here.

Therefore, the actor chosen must be one who can deeply express Bai Xuemei's emotions, and her emotional changes in the play are also very rich. From the beginning, because of her naivety, she was taken to a remote mountainous area by human traffickers on the pretext of picking yam, to her disbelief after discovering that she was abducted, and she begged the male protagonist Huang Degui and his family to let her go.

Later, when she was tied up and used as a slave to carry on the family line, she was unwilling to do so.

Even later on, he kept looking for opportunities to escape, but was caught again and again...

For various reasons, the acting skills of Bai Xuemei's actress must be above the passing line, and it would be best if she could clearly convey the character's emotions to the audience. Although Li Qing knew that this would also mean that the funding would be expensive, he still made such arrangements.

As for the other male lead Huang Degui...

His emotions are simpler, and his emotional changes in the play are less than Bai Xuemei's.

But simple does not mean easy. Huang Degui can be described as a complex and contradictory character both in and outside the play. He is 40 years old and has not yet married or had children. He is a well-known bachelor, which makes his parents unhappy. Not only is he embarrassed, but he is also unable to have children to continue his bloodline, and they are worried about extinction.

At the same time, the villagers often laughed at him, laughing at him for not being able to get married, laughing at him for being weak and incompetent, and even the children in the village laughed at him.

But he was the direct source of Bai Xuemei's pain. When facing Bai Xuemei, his role suddenly changed and he became an abuser.

He abused Bai Xuemei and often used violence without reason, and he became the dominant one in the family.
