In 2016, "The Name of the People" was about to start filming, Li Lu had a hard time inviting Xu Yajun to the crew, but Xu Yajun said: These old guys are not fuel-saving lamps, I will not act! After saying that, he went outside, and Li Lu pulled him aside and said: The contracts are all signed, what do you mean?
Xu Yajun said: The people you invite are all powerful factions, even if I rivet enough to perform, the audience will not pay attention to me.
That year, "In the Name of the People" broke a number of records, leaving aside all, it was really not easy for this drama to be filmed and broadcast smoothly.
"In the Name of the People" has just started, investors have withdrawn, and finally only Gao Yalin is left hesitating.
Li Luqian's eyebrows burned, and he did ideological work for Gao Yalin: Old Gao, you have invested 20 million, if you withdraw the ladder now, the previous investment will be adrift.
Gao Yalin said: The money has been spent, I can't quit, you can rest assured.
Li Lu barely squeezed out a smile and said: Old Gao, you didn't understand what I meant, I mean you invest another 20 million yuan before this drama can start shooting.
When Gao Yalin heard it, he jumped up in fright and said: "Throw another 20 million?" Where do I have so much money?
Li Lu said: If you think about it, if the funds are broken, we can't shoot, then the 20 million you invested before will be lost.
Late at night, Gao Yalin tossed and turned, and the next morning, he secretly mortgaged the house from his wife in exchange for a loan of 20 million yuan and handed it over to Li Lu.
Gao Yalin recalled: "During that time, I was afraid that my wife would kick me out of bed and often sleep on the floor."
Li Lu's eloquence had to be obeyed, he said that after passing Gao Yalin, he ran to other places to "flicker", and finally pulled a total of one hundred million yuan of investment funds.
Although the filming work has begun, Gao Yalin is still nervous, and he is worried about whether this drama can be released after filming.
And Li Lu's side is too late to suffer from gains and losses, he has to seize the time to find actors, discuss with Gao Yalin, and take out 20 million as the total remuneration.
Such a little money to invite more than 40 powerful celebrities, how easy is it to talk about?
Therefore, Li Lu can only give full play to the advantage of eloquence, carrying gifts to the door to "flicker" the old drama bones, and break each one.
First of all, Hou Yong, when he is mentioned, I believe that everyone will immediately think of the scene of eating noodles, which is such a small deduction, and now it has been included in the Textbook of North Film.
At that time, Li Lu said to Hou Yong: Teacher Hou, go to the crew to play, play a small role, double money, and live in a large villa.
Hou Yong wanted to shoot a drama for half a lifetime, and had never played a rich man, so he simply agreed.
After coming to the crew, Li Lu let Hou Yong eat noodles, this shot seems simple, but in fact, it was remade many times, Hou Yong ate more than 10 bowls of white noodles, and finally ate nausea.
Li Lu said: Teacher Hou, why can't I see you eating? You have to eat the feeling of being slippery and relishing.
Hou Yong said: Director, if you put some shredded meat into it, you really can't give me a clove of garlic.
Hou Yong filmed to the end, only to find that he was "deceived", his cameo role turned out to be a big corrupt official, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and said: I want to know to play a corrupt official, and I will not come to death!
It can be said that half of the audience can't help but integrate into the plot after watching this paragraph, and then continue to look down.
For the male protagonist "Hou Liangping", Li Lu's first choice is not Lu Yi, but Chen Daoming, who came to Chen Daoming's house with good wine and said: Teacher Chen, I want to ask you to play the main role.
After reading the script, Chen Daoming said excitedly: I am willing to act.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Lu changed his mind, he suddenly felt that Hou Liangping wanted to find a young actor to play, Chen Daoming was older, so he found Lu Yi.
Chen Daoming is worthy of the old drama bone, the heart is very open-minded, he asked Li Lu: Are there other roles? Let me play a supporting role.
Li Lu shook his head and said: Teacher Chen, I'm really sorry, the actors have already been finalized.
Chen Daoming waved his hand and said: "Okay, I want to come and see it when you are filming."
Li Lu said: This is absolutely no problem, you are welcome to guide the work.
Therefore, in the crew, the staff often saw Chen Daoming queuing up to receive a box lunch.
Qi Tongwei played a role, Li Lu directly designated Xu Yajun, at the beginning, Xu Yajun heard that the 55-episode TV series only gave 2 million films, and refused on the spot.
Li Lu said: Runner-up, do you know who the character with your partner is? Gao Xiaoqin!
Xu Yajun said: I don't act tall piano, the money is too small.
Li Lu said: Gao Xiaoqin is a hundred times more beautiful than Chang'e, and she has a lot of opponents with you.
Xu Yajun's eyes lit up and said: Don't say anything, let's make a friend, I will act!
However, Xu Yajun came to the crew, saw a group of old drama bones, and immediately retreated: This is a group of cruel people, where can I play them.
Li Lu said: Then you can't drop the chain, the contract is signed, hurry up and memorize the lines.
Zhao Dong came to a corner, Li Lu wanted to give Chen Baoguo at first, but he was shooting other works at that time, and he really couldn't find time, and finally Ding Haifeng picked up a big leak.
Li Lu also visited the old drama bone Wang Xuexi and asked him to choose between Secretary Dakang and Sha Ruijin, unfortunately, Wang Xuexi could not find time.
Li Lu had to retreat to the second place, came to Wu Gang's house, and after some "flickering", invited the couple to the crew, and they continued to play husband and wife in the play.
For Zhang Fengyi, Li Lu "drank" him to the crew by drinking.
That night, Li Lu invited Zhang Fengyi to a big dinner, indicated his intentions, and asked him to play Sha Ruijin, Zhang Fengyi also felt that the film remuneration was too small and did not want to act.
Finally, Zhang Fengyi said: If I drink you down, you should not mention this matter again.
Li Lu said: Then I will drink you down, and you will follow me.
As a result, Zhang Fengyi signed the contract in a vague way and arrived at the crew the next day.
Of course, this drama also has a slight flaw, that is, the role of Xiao Huangmao, which many people think is a bit redundant.
In addition, for the male protagonist Hou Liangping, many people feel that Lu Yi is too young to fully support himself, and if Chen Daoming is allowed to play, it will be more brilliant.
In fact, I personally think that Li Lu is right not to choose Chen Daoming, because he plays too many emperors, the audience is easy to play, and his characteristics and roles are too different.
