Gao Xixi said mercilessly: You are not beautiful enough, you can't play a mink cicada.
At that time, in order to prepare for the new three countries, Gao Xixi invested 250 million yuan, and the lineup was unprecedentedly strong, attracting many big stars and small stars.
Lin Xinru is one of them, she thinks, if she can act in Gao Xixi's play, then her status in the film and television industry is not the same.
You know, the dramas directed by Gao Xixi have both quality and traffic, such as "The Sky of History" and "Happiness Like a Flower" and so on.
Lin Xinru, who was in her early 30s at the time, thought she was still very beautiful, so she wanted to seize this opportunity to play the role of a mink cicada in the play.
I didn't expect Gao Xixi to be so direct, without caring about her face, and rebuffed her:
You are not beautiful enough, who is the mink cicada, but the appearance of the closed moon.
After Lin Xinru was refused, although she felt uncomfortable and hit hard, she was not the first day to enter the entertainment industry after all, and she was not so glassy.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that since I couldn't play a mink cicada, then retreat to the second place and play Big Qiao and Little Qiao.
Who knows, Gao Xixi said again: "You are still a little older. ”
Lin Xinru was a little angry when she saw Gao Xixi belittle herself so much, but she couldn't offend the big director, so she could only stand there very aggrieved.
Gao Xixi also reflected on himself, and it was indeed a little too much to speak, so he arranged the role of Sun Shangxiang for Lin Xinru, which made Lin Xinru turn anger into joy and smile.
I have to say that in the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Hong played the mink cicada alive, and Chen Hong's version of the mink cicada is as beautiful as a fairy, and in the spirit, there is a feeling of fairy qi fluttering.
Because Chen Hong's mink cicada pearl jade is in front, even if there are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, there are only a few who can take on the role of mink cicada.
However, Gao Xixi already has the most suitable candidate for Sable Cicada in his heart, and he believes that the best candidate to play Sable Cicada is Chen Hao, who is popular all over the country because of "Pink Girl".
Chen Hao became a hit in "Pink Girl" and is indeed a veritable heartthrob. Chen Hao's modern clothes are really exquisite and beautiful!
Heartthrob Chen Hao has become his dream lover in the minds of many men.
Therefore, when Lin Xinru couldn't wait to find Gao Xixi and wanted to play the mink cicada, it would make Gao Xixi very embarrassed.
Gao Xixi once joked that John Woo finished filming the essence of the Three Kingdoms, making it difficult for latecomers to surpass, so he could only seek breakthroughs from actors, so he was very strict about casting.
Let heartthrob Chen Hao play Sable Cicada is also because he feels that Chen Hao is beautiful enough to control the temperament of the first beauty in the Three Kingdoms.
However, after the launch of the new three countries, the Chen Hao version of the mink cicada, which can be compared to the mink cicada in the eyes of Gao Xixi, was complained by everyone: not beautiful enough! And Lin Xinru, who has repeatedly refused, was praised for her supporting role,
The reason for netizens is that Sun Shangxiang, played by Lin Xinru, is very consistent with the original work, whether in terms of costumes or acting skills, but the protagonist Chen Hao was ridiculed by everyone because of his hairstyle and appearance.
Some people say that it may be because Chen Hong's version of the mink cicada was too overwhelming, and every appearance was enshrined as a god map, a look back, beautiful and incomprehensible, so Chen Hong's version of the mink cicada is also regarded by everyone as an unsurpassed classic,
It is precisely with Chen Hong's preconceptions that Chen Hao is questioned.
It's just that except for the character of Sable Cicada, which fell into controversy, the other characters were well received by the audience. It has to be said that Gao Xixi does have the ability to create classics.
For example, the short Cao Cao is tall and powerful in his works, Chen Jianbin is 179cm tall, but he interprets Cao Cao's pattern and spirit deeply into the hearts of the people, subverting the audience's understanding of Cao Cao in the past, which is very difficult.
There is also Zhuge Liang under Lu Yi's performance, there is also a very big breakthrough, in the eyes of the audience in the past, Zhuge Liang is a kind and kind old man image, but Gao Xixi took an unusual path and chose the young Lu Yi to star.
At that time, Lu Yi was popular and a little narcissistic, and Gao Xixi warned him: "I think your figure is tall and handsome, and you fancy your external conditions, when you are acting, don't be narcissistic, you must substitute the role into it." ”
Lu Yi nodded repeatedly, and his final performance in the play was also very good.
There is also Liu Bei played by Yu Hewei, although he is the same as Cao Cao, his personality is completely different from Cao Cao, he has a restrained personality, but he does not lack strategy.
Although Yu Hewei was not visible at that time and did not have much fame, Gao Xixi still took a fancy to him at a glance, and as a result, he created a successful Liu Bei.
In addition to the harsh selection of actors, there are great changes to the entire makeup, costumes, and props in the play. Including horse changes.
At that time, the crew used thoroughbred horses bought from New Zealand, spending so much money to make this horse look good and tall, it was 50 cm taller than Chinese horses.
After the release of this drama, Lin Xinru's Sun Shangxiang was well received, while Chen Hao's mink cicada was complained that he was too old and not as atmospheric as the old version of Chen Hong.
In fact, except for the mink cicada, the other castings are very in line with the character image.
Which character do you like the most in "New Three Kingdoms"? If Lin Xinru played a mink cicada, wouldn't it be more brilliant?
