Chapter 170 "Magic Phone" Character Guide(2/2)
This Jiao Jun is amazing, with outstanding looks. He became famous two years ago for playing Li Xun Huan in the martial arts drama "Little Lee Flying Knife", and is nicknamed the Living Li Tanhua.
Together with Gu Xiaoge and two other top handsome guys in the industry, they are collectively known as the four most handsome men in domestic costumes.
His appearance is on par with Gu Xiaoge's, and Jiao Jun's acting skills are also very good. Before becoming popular in mainland China, Jiao was famous as a villain when he was in Taiwan, and later he slowly turned to a decent male protagonist.
But so far, apart from Li Xunhuan and a few positive roles, Jiao Jun's fans still like his villainous roles the most.
The most common slogan among his fans is that - as long as the villain looks good, his appearance will follow his facial features.
Jiao Jun's rich career as a villain has greatly honed his acting skills. The four beauties in ancient costumes are not just based on their looks. Those who make the list are all handsome and good at acting. Even if their acting skills are average, they must have outstanding temperament.
.
What's more important is that although Jiao Jun is from Taiwan, he does not have a Taiwanese accent and his Mandarin is very standard, not weaker than ordinary academic actors.
This is very rare. Many Taiwanese actors speak with Taiwanese accents and their lines are very awkward to pronounce.
Maybe other directors can make up for it with dubbing, but when Zuo Le is filming, the actors always record their original voices at the same time, and only post-dubbing is done under special circumstances.
In the case of non-foreign languages and dialects, actors whose lines are not up to standard will be their Achilles heel in Zuo Le.
Not just Zuo Le, many big directors and demanding directors have this attitude, especially movie directors. Even if they are dubbing in the later stage, they still require the actors to do the dubbing themselves. They rarely hire dubbing actors. Moreover, when filming, they must read the lines in line with the mouth shape.
.
If you read something like 1234 to fool them, they will have a bad temper and let you go directly.
In the Chinese film and television industry, some big directors even have to give in to their investors. Fresh meat is awesome in front of ordinary directors, but in front of big directors, even if they are pointed in the nose and scolded, they dare not say a word.
Zuo Le is now basically among the ranks of directors at this level. It's okay to joke around at ordinary times, but when he is serious about filming, even Li Youbin and Wang Yan, who look upon emperors and queens, have to be obedient.
Jiao Jun's Mandarin skills are really a very good plus point for Zuo Le, but since they have never worked together before, Zuo Le means to let Jiao Jun try out.
This is also Zuo Le's casting habit. He has an idea of the acting skills of the actors he has worked with, so he can just arrange the roles directly. For most of the actors he has not worked with, he has to audition and check them out.
After Yu Suowei was cast, there were not many main characters left in "Magic Phone".
Wang Tianba, Xiao Wu, plus a Dongzi.
Zuo Le, the role of Xiao Wu, has already been given to Shen Teng, Dongzi can be played by Guo Jinfei, and Lei Jiayin is left to make a cameo appearance as Mr. Fan’s fellow migrant worker.
There is also a police character in the play, which can allow Fan Min or Jiang Chao to make a cameo appearance, creating a parallel time and space linkage with "Serious Case Group Six".
As for Wang Tianba, the philosopher in the world of thieves, Zuo Le plans to take part in the battle himself. Since he can't play the role of the handsome and wealthy boss You Suowei, he will become an ideological "giant"...
…………
In the following days, Zuo Le struck while the iron was hot and contacted actors Jiao Jun and Hua Mei Sun Feiyan for auditions. The audition ended, Jiao Jun was successfully selected, and the two female roles were also cast. The casting process for "Magic Phone" was basically completed.
Zuo Le temporarily put aside the work at hand and focused his energy on promoting "Crossing Guandong".
