Chapter 361: Cast of "Along with the Gods"

Wu Yuan did have something to do when he returned to the company.

Guangying Times has been busy recently.

Zhang Guorong's "Along with the Gods", "Painted Skin 2" is in preparation, "Let's Get Married" is being filmed by the TV series department, and "Goblin" is in preparation. The company is working on four projects at the same time.

Although Wu Yuan does not need to participate in it personally, he still needs to listen to reports.

For "Along with the Gods", Zhang Guorong is already conducting internal auditions.

All the artists signed by the company, as long as they have time, rushed back to audition, hoping to get a role in this movie.

The young Jia Nailiang, Pan Yueming, Zhu Yawen, Zhu Yilong, Peng Guanying...

The slightly older Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Yu Yi...

Basically, all the actors in the company have been around Zhang Guorong.

After a round of interviews, Zhang Guorong also had ideas and communicated with Wu Yuan.

He thinks Yu Yi is quite suitable to play the ghost messenger on duty in the underworld in "Along with the Gods", that is, Fan Wujiu, while the other ghost messenger leader Xie Bian can be played by Duan Yihong.

The reason for choosing Yu Yi is simple. He played the soul ferryman in "Soul Ferry" quite well and left a deep impression on the audience. It is safe to find him for such a similar role.

As for Duan Yihong, it is a tall man among short people.

The young actors of the company are definitely not able to take on this responsibility, and among the older actors, Duan Yihong's acting skills are the best.

The only drawback is that he is a little short and not handsome enough.

Wu Yuan was very moved by Zhang Guorong's idea and actions of insisting on using his own company's artists.

He himself actually couldn't think of any mainland actor who was suitable for "Along with the Gods".

His good brother Chen Kun is quite suitable, but Chen Kun has no schedule. He has to shoot "Mulan" and the one with Zhao Junqi.

The friendship between the two classmates is still good.

Another candidate, Huang Xiaoming, also has no schedule. The past two years are the peak years of Huang Xiaoming's popularity. The Ming Cult swept the country and its influence was comparable to that of the three little ones later.

This year alone, Huang Xiaoming has three movies to shoot, "The Founding of a Republic", "The Voice of China" and "Ip Man 2", all of which are top resources.

In this way, the two non-company actors that Wu Yuan is optimistic about are out of schedule, so for him, it doesn't matter who he finds to play in "Along with the Gods".

Duan Yihong is also good, and he also has that kind of "uncle" feeling. It is quite suitable for him to play a ghost messenger in the underworld who has lived for one or two thousand years.

In this way, "Along with the Gods" in the era of light and shadow will not follow the Korean version of "idol school", but will follow the route of strength, with a touching storyline as the selling point.

Therefore, the real male protagonist, the firefighter who died for some reason and came to hell to be judged, must be played by someone who can support the heavy background of this role.

"I plan to ask Huang Bo to play the role."

"Huang Bo can grasp this role well from his image and temperament to his acting skills." Zhang Guorong said confidently.

Great minds think alike. Wu Yuan also thinks that Huang Bo and the original male lead Cha Tae-hyun's role are very similar and fit.

"Who will play the youngest female ghost messenger in the underworld messenger?"

Zhang Guorong thought for a while, "Yang Rong and Wang Ou in the company are both suitable. They can play the role of the girl next door, and they also look round and well-behaved."

"Yang Rong." Wu Yuan made the final decision. Compared with Wang Ou, Yang Rong is more suitable for this kind of straightforward, innocent and cute role positioning.

Wu Yuan plans to cultivate the actress Wang Ou into a sexy style. There are so many actresses under the company, but none of them has a sexy style, which has lost a lot of market.

"Most of the remaining minor roles were also played by the company's artists."

"The squad leader who died unjustly was played by Zhu Yawen."

"The low-energy soldier who was given special care and the private Liu Chengyan who caused the death of his superior by negligence was played by the newcomer Zhu Yilong."

"The King of Hell in several levels, just find a few veteran actors to guest star."

Zhang Guorong talked about his arrangements with Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan generally had no objections.

So far, "Along with the Gods" has been on the right track. After completing the location scouting work before the New Year, it can be prepared to start filming in February or March.

Coincidentally, "Painted Skin 2" is also expected to start filming in February or March.

This is a big test for the company's special effects department. The company's special effects team has to follow the two films at the same time, and then do special effects for the two films at the same time.

Fortunately, after several years of development, the Light and Shadow Times Special Effects Company is no longer a small company. At present, the company has trained more than 100 special effects artists and gradually added a lot of cutting-edge special effects equipment, so it can cope with it.

On the other hand, just when Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong finalized the starring role of "Along with the Gods".

Yang Mi, who was newly signed to the company, also learned that she had not been selected as the female lead of "Along with the Gods".

"Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Sitting listlessly in the nanny car, Yang Mi chatted with her agent Zeng Jia while waiting for the afternoon shooting of "Chinese Paladin III":

"Sister Jia, when I signed with the company, it was agreed that if I didn't get selected for "Along with the Gods", I had to play the second female lead in "Goblin".

"Hey, I was still the female lead in "Chinese Paladin III", but now I have entered the Light and Shadow Times and I am getting worse and worse."

"Come on, don't be so ungrateful." Zeng Jia rolled her eyes at Yang Mi in anger: "That's a TV series that Liu Yifei condescended to act in."

"Play a supporting role for her. Believe it or not, if this news is released, there will be many people scrambling to play the role."

"Not to mention that the male lead is Director Wu. They are a real couple. Once the news of them acting together in a TV series is announced, I dare not imagine how explosive the ratings of this TV series will be."

"Even if you play the second female lead, the effect is better than playing the female lead in several dramas."

"I know, I know." Yang Mi sighed, helpless: "Sister Fairy."

"When I was filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", I was her supporting role. Don't I know her?"

"Director Wu even came to visit the set at that time , but on the day he came to visit the set, I didn't have a scene with him. When I got the news, Director Wu had already left and I didn't get to see him. "

"I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I think about it, maybe Director Wu and Liu Yifei were already in love at that time."

"No wonder Liu Yifei's acting career has always been so smooth."

"By the way, have you confirmed the actor who will play opposite me?"

"Didn't you say I also have a love line?"

Zeng Jia crossed her arms over her chest and pondered, "Not yet, but I heard that they are planning to find a Korean actor to play."

"The company wants to use this TV series to enter the Korean market."

"Korean actor?" Yang Mi frowned, "Wouldn't it mean that we wouldn't be able to understand each other when we act together, and we would be talking at cross purposes?"

"Oh, it's so difficult!" (End of this chapter)
