Chapter 175 A touching role
A few days later, when GT Entertainment and the film officials jointly issued a statement confirming that Gu Min would star in the movie "The Decisive Battle", it quickly sparked widespread discussion.
The first is that everyone finally learned the real name behind the stage name Minran from this movie, Gu Min. This name inexplicably sounds a bit like the name of the male protagonist in the novel (well... the name of the male protagonist in the novel...), which is in no way inferior to his stage name. Soon someone dug out a lot of public information based on this name, such as his high school entrance examination results. He ranked first and was admitted to a key high school. His academic mastery attributes were once again confirmed, and he attracted a wave of fans without realizing it.
Secondly, many people never expected that a new singer who had just debuted would enter the entertainment industry so quickly.
Of course, the fans were all praising him. After all, the idol they were following had begun to develop in all aspects, and the first movie he filmed was such a positive one, which was worth bragging about for a while.
"Our Minran is so awesome! He's only been in the industry for less than a year and he's already acting in a movie! Our brother is the best~"
"Remembering the martyrs and carrying forward the revolutionary spirit, it's really great that my brother can act in this movie! Come on, brother!"
As for many passers-by, because of his previously good reputation, most of them are still on the sidelines, but they are also secretly looking forward to it. After all, this superstar has been giving surprises to the entertainment industry since his debut. This time, everyone is speculating whether he can successfully play this role and gain everyone's recognition after his transformation from an idol to an actor.
Of course, there are many people who question Gu Min.
"Isn't this just pure hype? He's already so proud of himself right after his debut. How can he play a soldier of that era well with his delicate skin and tender body?"
"Just be your idol and don't embarrass the martyrs. If you act awkwardly, it will be a waste of the script."
Some people even criticized him for dating, saying, "How can he, who was already in love before his debut, with his mind full of love affairs, act out such a heroic act?"
"Isn't the director this time that particularly strict director? Why would he choose an idol to act? Even though he doesn't have many scenes, it really affects the viewing experience!"
Some comments were not deliberately added, and they became the hot comments under this announcement. However, the male protagonist, who was at the center of the topic, had no time to care about the disturbance on the social platform. Because just as it was said online, this director was very strict, and he was very demanding in his work, and he didn't give face to anyone. So, he was studying the script like crazy, and he also found a lot of background information, hoping to satisfy the director at the reading meeting.
The background of this movie is the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The role played by Gu Min this time is a character named Wang Caifu. He was 13 years old. Due to famine and war, his family had no food. He wore worn-out straw sandals, carried a bag with only a piece of torn clothes in it, and walked for several kilometers to find the nearest unit, and insisted on staying there to serve as a soldier.
The instructor at that time saw that he was thin and small, so he advised him to go home, but he was also stubborn and was not allowed to join the army. So he squatted at the door every day, and when he saw someone who had work to do, he would run over to help. In the end, the instructor couldn't persuade him and directly let him join the army.
Although he was young, he would rush to the front line every time there was a battle. If he couldn't hold the gun, he would carry it on his shoulder while aiming at the enemy without mercy. He didn't know the damage range of the grenade, so he ran as close as possible and threw it out with all his strength. The aftermath affected him, causing his eardrums to bleed...
In the final battle, due to the huge disparity in the number of troops between the enemy and our army, Wang Caifu fought bravely until the last moment. He was surrounded by enemies, with gunshot wounds all over his body. His wounds were so severe that his entire body turned into a bloody mess. However, he still held the red flag tightly and erected it on the top of the mountain. He did not fall down until his death...
Such a heroic role, such a touching role, fell on Gu Min's head. It has to be said that Gu Min was under great pressure.
After I took the job, I went to find Nan Jinfeng to thank him, and only then did I learn from him that the director had already looked for several actors to play the soldier. Although it was only a supporting role with few lines, he was still striving to find an actor who could perfectly interpret the role.
Many directors will choose some traffic stars to boost the popularity of the movie. This director must conduct an interview before confirming the role. Although Gu Min was sent by Nan Jinfeng, the director was still selfless and notified him to come for the interview. Only the most suitable one can stay.
On the day of the interview, he walked into the interview room with several other candidates. When the director saw him, his brows were slightly frowned, because this kid was too fair, and probably because he had just finished his trip, he still had makeup on his face, and he didn't look like someone who had been through years and battles.
Gu Min also noticed the dissatisfaction in the director's eyes. Before he asked the question, he raised his hand and said he would give himself a minute. Then he pulled out a makeup remover wipe from his arms and wiped it frantically, not afraid of showing his bare face at all. Then he inexplicably took out a plastic bag, smeared some mud on the sides of his face, took out a very tattered piece of clothing and put it on, then curled up his legs. He was obviously a tall and straight man of 1.8 meters, but after changing his clothes, he immediately turned into a different person, inexplicably giving people a thin and miserable state. When the director saw his actions, his frown relaxed a little.
Because when he first heard that President Nan had assigned someone to him, he was furious. In this film industry, everyone knew that he never accepted people parachuted in by capital. For this, he had offended many bigwigs and suffered a lot of suppression. Fortunately, President Nan had a keen eye and thought he had talent, so he helped him. But he didn't expect that President Nan was actually such a person?
Facing his questioning, Nan Jinfeng just smiled and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, this kid won't let you down. I'm not airdropping an actor for you now, but I want to get him a chance to interview in front of you. Can you give me some face?"
After hearing Nan Jinfeng's repeated assurances that if someone was considered unsuitable, they could be immediately removed, Director Li Jincai reluctantly agreed and quickly arranged interviews for all those who had applied for the role.
And I paid special attention to this kid named Gu Min. Unexpectedly, this kid was quite interesting. He removed his makeup on the spot, changed into old clothes without hesitation, and even took the initiative to smear mud. You know, in today's entertainment industry, it is rare to find people who can let go of their idol baggage like this.
Li Jin secretly looked at them for a few more times, then said, "You are all excellent actors. I believe that you have read the script fragments I gave you before coming here. Now, please act out the scene where Wang Caifu finally died heroically. I will give you five minutes to prepare. Then we will start in order."
