Chapter 601 "Go Away! Tumor" Cast Confirmed
"Are you back?"
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and greeted Wu Yuan, holding his hand.
"Well, the post-production of "The Martian" is done."
"How are you doing? Have you finished the pre-production of "Go Away Tumor"?"
"Almost."
Liu Yifei tilted her head and said with some regret: "Director Han Yan originally wanted to invite Brother Leslie to play the male lead, Dr. Liang."
"But Brother Leslie felt that he was too old and not suitable for filming movies anymore, so he declined the invitation."
"What a pity, I thought I could film with Brother Leslie."
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Zhang Guorong is no longer the handsome uncle in his forties when he filmed "Departures". He is now in his fifties, and the years have inevitably left traces on him.
In recent years, Zhang Guorong has basically stopped acting in any film and television dramas, and only occasionally held a few concerts to give back to fans.
It is extremely difficult to invite him to act now. It is estimated that no one can invite him except Wu Yuan and King of Sunglasses.
"Who did Han Yan finally find to play the leading male role?" Wu Yuan asked curiously.
"Jin Chengwu." Liu Yifei said with a smile: "Originally, after Leslie refused, Director Han wanted to invite Daniel Wu, but Daniel Wu didn't have time, so he finally decided on Jin Chengwu."
"They are both handsome guys." Wu Yuan glanced at Liu Yifei, his tone was indescribably sour.
Whether it is Jin Chengwu or Daniel Wu, they are both recognized as handsome Asian guys in and outside the circle. Han Yan really knows how to choose actors.
"What, are you jealous?" Liu Yifei smiled even more happily, stretched out her hand and twisted Wu Yuan's arm, "This is not a love movie, why are you jealous here?"
"I play a cancer patient, I don't have the heart to talk about love."
"The reason why we find a handsome guy to play the attending physician is mainly to take care of the audience's eyes."
"In addition to Jin Chengwu, the patient Xia Meng was played by Dilireba from the company, and Xiong Dun's male best friend Xiao Xia was played by Bai Yu from the company."
"Bai Yu and Dilireba were both the top three contestants in "Actors Please Take Your Place", and later signed to the company."
The top three contestants of "Actors Please Take Your Place" were Wu Jinyan from the Central Academy of Drama, Bai Yu from the Beijing Film Academy, and Dilireba from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Coincidentally, one from each of the three major colleges, and even the ranking is the same as the ranking of the three major colleges.
But there is really no black box operation, the top three are really voted by the judges on the scene and the audience outside the venue.
Of course, this voting session only takes place when only five contestants are left for the live broadcast of the finals.
Among the top 12 contestants, there are still many contestants who have signed with the company and were eventually "reasonably" eliminated and did not enter the finals.
Among the five contestants who finally entered the finals, it was through the live broadcast of the finals and the off-site voting that Wu Jinyan, Bai Yu, and Dilireba, the three champions, runners-up and third place winners, were voted in.
Because of this phenomenal program, the three of them have become popular in the circle without any representative works.
After signing with the Light and Shadow Times, the company immediately arranged the best TV drama starring roles and important supporting roles in movies for them.
For example, Dilireba became the heroine of an urban drama of the company, and Bai Yu also starred in the TV series "War Changsha" with Wu Jinyan.
Now "Go Away! Tumor King" continues to give these newcomers opportunities to play important supporting roles.
When they were signed into the company, they promised to focus on cultivating them, so the company naturally has to do what it says.
The movie starring Liu Yifei is definitely one of the most important projects in the company. It is very popular. It is definitely a key training for Dilireba and Baiyu to play in it.
They were also very happy when they learned about it.
Liu Yifei!
An international superstar, a Chinese actress who is very famous in Hollywood!
Being able to participate in the movie starring her will be fought over in the entire Chinese entertainment circle, second only to the attraction of Wu Yuan's movie!
"The two little guys are crazy about it. After getting the script, they study it like crazy every day." Liu Yifei chuckled and said with some emotion: "This is the first time I feel that I am so influential."
"I heard from Dilireba's agent that she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night when she received the news."
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would be so charming."
Because Liu Yifei has been tied to Wu Yuan most of the time, either acting in Wu Yuan's movies or in movies arranged by Wu Yuan for her.
Whether in the crew or in life, she can't really feel her "influence" or "status in the circle". With Wu Yuan by her side, everyone's attention is more on Wu Yuan.
But this time, "Go Away! Tumor King" has nothing to do with Wu Yuan from beginning to end. It is a movie that Han Yan and Liu Yifei made by themselves.
In the process of preparing this movie, Liu Yifei finally felt her status and influence as an Asian superstar.
It's really cool!
"Brother, "Go Away! Tumor King" will start shooting in September. We will try to complete post-production by the end of the year and release it in early next year."
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei's high spirits suddenly became low. She sighed heavily and said with sadness: "Teacher Xiong Dun's condition is not optimistic. Since the relapse in May this year, the condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse."
"Director Han Yan and I have privately asked the attending doctor that there is very little hope for Teacher Xiong Dun's illness."
"Maybe there is only half a year to a year left."
"So we hope to make this movie as soon as possible so that Teacher Xiong Dun will not have any regrets."
For a person who is not long in life, the most common thought in his mind is probably "What will I leave in this world?"
So Xiong Dun serialized her anti-cancer story on Tianya Forum.
So she drew her anti-cancer experience in a humorous way into a four-frame comic and serialized it on the Internet.
This series of actions is nothing more than her wanting to leave some traces of her presence in the world before leaving this world.
The wild geese leave their voices behind.
And there is no doubt that a movie based on her, where even the name of the protagonist is directly based on her name and her experience, is definitely the best gift she has left in this world.
Xiong Dun naturally hopes that after falling down from the battle with the disease, she can see the movie successfully released, and personally see her story being put on the big screen and seen by more people.
Liu Yifei and Han Yan also hope to race against time and fulfill Xiong Dun's dream. Everything is being prepared intensively and pushed forward urgently.
But can they really outrun time and fate?
Wu Yuan was sweating for this.
"Come on, I believe you will succeed!" (End of this chapter)
