He actually found an actor who was very similar to Uncle Ying. This was something Song Qi never expected.

He originally only wanted to find an actor with the charm of Uncle Ying, and then use his image design and performance guidance to perform the charm of Uncle Jiu, but the appearance of Lin Zheng'an gave him a big surprise.

When he was not dressed up, the similarity between Lin Zhengan and Uncle Ying was not that high, but after he put on Uncle Jiu's clothes and dressed up, the feeling started.

Song Qi was very satisfied with such a high degree of similarity.

So even though Lin Zheng'an was not an actor and could not perform systematically, Song Qi chose him to play Uncle Nine.

You can improve your acting skills slowly, but it's not that easy to find someone who looks like you again.

As for Lin Haoran, this guy is really ugly, even uglier than Wang Qiang.

The most important thing is that his whole person has a bad-looking temperament, which is very unpleasant.

If it were an ordinary drama and the actors were chosen, Song Qi probably wouldn't have chosen him.

But what a coincidence, "Mr. Zombie" lacks such a bad character, and it is also the protagonist, that is Uncle Jiu's apprentice Wen Cai.

Lin Haoran's demeanor is perfect for acting.

"Mr. Zombie" is a drama with two male protagonists, and the two male protagonists are Uncle Jiu's two apprentices.

Because in the Hong Kong film production circle at that time, master-apprentice movies generally focused on the apprentice as the protagonist.

Therefore, in the movie, the two apprentices have the most scenes. Uncle Jiu is actually the third male lead in the movie.

But because this role is so brilliant, Uncle Ying's performance is also perfect.

In the end, Uncle Ying became famous on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places with this movie, and became the Uncle Nine remembered by everyone. Xu GY and Qian XH, who played the role of apprentices, became Uncle Ying's foil.

Xu GY also refused the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination, becoming the first person in history to refuse the Academy Award, because he believed that he was the protagonist.

After confirming the actors for Uncle Jiu and Wen Cai, the remaining roles became much easier to handle.

The auditions are still going on, and after a week of interviews and selections, the roles of Qiu Sheng, Ren Tingting, Sheriff Ah Wei, and the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu were finally confirmed.

In addition, there were two roles that did not go through auditions and were confirmed by Song Qi.

One of them is Taoist Priest Simu, who is the Taoist priest who drove away the corpse at the beginning of the movie. This role was assigned to Wang Xingren by Song Qi.

The other role, Song Qi, was assigned to Wang Qiang.

Before he knew it, Wang Qiang had already filmed two movies with Song Qi, one "King Kong: Skull Island" and one "Resident Evil".

Originally, Song Qi had no intention of cooperating with Wang Qiang again after filming "King Kong: Skull Island" because he thought Wang Qiang would find another job and fly away.

But he didn't expect that Wang Qiang would hold his thigh and wouldn't let go.

When Wang Qiang came to audition, Song Qi gave him a chance, but did not give him any preferential treatment just because he was a former leading actor.

During the training at the film and television base, like other actors, he worked hard to complete the training and did not show any bad attitude.

Therefore, when filming "Resident Evil", Song Qi gave him a semi-male role, that is, the environmentalist Matt who pretended to be a policeman.

Although he is a semi-male protagonist, Matt's role is not that many, but Wang Qiang still plays the role very seriously.

Moreover, when filming the scenes in the second part, because Matt was transformed by the Umbrella Company and became a stalker, Wang Qiang had to wear a thick rubber coat when playing the role. The filming was very laborious, and he did not even show his face.

come out.

Wang Qiang could have applied for a stuntman to act in this kind of scene, but he insisted on acting by himself and performed all the scenes.

Since then, Song Qi's perception of him has changed a lot.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After experiencing the treatment and aura of the male protagonist, few people can calm down and be willing to act as a green leaf to set off others.

Wang Qiang's ability to perform like that proves that he is a down-to-earth person.

But this is just a change in perception. If Wang Qiang wants to be entrusted with important tasks here by Song Qi, he still needs to pass some tests.

After "Resident Evil", Wang Qiang has not started working on it. He has contacted Song Qi and still hopes to start working on it with Song Qi.

In view of his previous good performance, Song Qi gave him a chance to play the big boss in the movie, the zombie old man Ren.

This is the biggest villain in the movie. He is very domineering and fierce.

But there is a disadvantage in playing this role, that is, the face cannot be shown. The actor must wear rubber special effects suits and make-up. Under such circumstances, even if it is a close-up, the audience will not be able to recognize who the actor is.

This role is equivalent to a replica of "Stalker". It is a relatively useless role. It is tiring to play. After the performance, the audience still doesn't know who played it. It is thankless for the effort.

However, after learning the news, Wang Qiang did not hesitate and agreed immediately and agreed to play the role of Mrs. Ren.

As a result, the cast of the movie was basically decided.

While auditioning, Song Qi had already asked the company to send the script for project approval.

The audition ended and the project was approved.

However, the project approval this time was not as smooth as the previous ones. According to feedback from employees of the company who specifically contacted the General Administration of Optoelectronics to determine the project approval process, this time the project approval process took a long time to pass.

Fortunately, the license was successfully obtained in the end, and filming could begin.

So, in early June, Song Qi took the entire crew to Shudian Film and Television City.

Shuidian Film and Television City is one of the largest official film and television bases in Daxia. It has a large number of shooting scenes. Every year, countless crews film in Shuidian, and hundreds of thousands of extras live in Shuidian.

, I work as a bit player every day, hoping that one day I can become famous in one fell swoop.

There are many reasons why Song Qi chose this shooting location.

The most important reason is the cost factor.

Miracle's film and television base is undergoing upgrading and expansion and is temporarily unavailable.

If you rent a studio to set up an indoor scene, the cost is high, and the shooting effect may not match the outdoor effect.

Shuidian Film and Television Co., Ltd., the official organization of Shudian Film and Television City, has contacted Miracle Film and Television many times and hopes to invite Song Qi to inspect and seek cooperation directions.

With a person's name, a tree's shadow, a famous director and a large crew, it is possible to attract tens of thousands of extras to the store.

And these extras will repay their money back to Shuidian Town after eating, drinking, and eating, which is also a very cost-effective business for Shuidian Film and Television.

Shudian Film and Television also has many directors and artists in the Filmmakers Association. After learning from the meeting that Song Qi was interested in making traditional horror films, Shudian Film and Television contacted Miracle Film and Television again and wanted to invite Song Qi to cooperate.

In order to persuade Song Qi, the general manager of Shudian Film and Television City even promised to waive the rent for all scenes required for filming as long as Song Qi's movie was filmed in Shudian Film and Television City, no matter the cost.

This condition can be described as sincerity, and it also impressed Song Qi.

Although Song Qi is not short of money, why should he spend the money he can save?

Moreover, most of the scenes in Shudian Film and Television City are architectural scenes from the ancient period of the Great Xia Kingdom, which are very suitable for filming traditional-themed film and television dramas.

So, Song Qi directly signed the contract, and then led the crew to come over in a mighty manner.

Shuidian is a small town with a small area. The streets are full of self-built houses and restaurants. There are very few local residents. Most of them are dream-chasing troupes from all over the country.

After Song Qi arrived with the crew, he checked directly into the Film and Television City Hotel. This is a self-operated hotel under Shudian Film and Television. It is the best in town in terms of environment and facilities.

Lin Haoran is the male lead in the crew, but he does not receive any special treatment. The room he lives in is also a standard room, and he lives in the same standard room as Lin Zhengan.
