During the creation of "Snail House", director Teng Huatao and the screenwriter had a dispute over the starring issue. When the screenwriter wrote the script, he had already thought about Song Siming's character. She felt that this role was particularly suitable for Liu Yunlong. In order to prevent the director from hiring another actor, she simply named the role and emphasized that Song Siming looked like the actor Liu Yunlong. However, when Teng Huatao was considering casting, he didn't even care about what the screenwriter said. He just recalled who among the actors he knew was most similar to Song Siming. After much deliberation, I feel that Zhang Jiayi looks the most like him in terms of appearance and speech, and is the perfect choice for the role of Song Siming. And he also pointed out the problem of Liu Yunlong, he is so handsome. If Liu Yunlong is cast, Haizao will definitely fall in love with him at first sight. There is no need to express the characters, and the audience will be stunned when they appear. In this case, many plots in the play will be completely meaningless. Teng Huatao thought that Song Siming must be a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance.
When preparing to shoot "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters", director Yin Li remembered Li Bingbing, whom he had worked with ten years ago. However, unexpectedly, Li Bingbing rejected the invitation. Li Bingbing later talked about this matter and revealed that she knew that Yin Li "is a very difficult nut to crack." Filming with this director was very hard, and "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" was much more difficult than the previous collaborations. Li Bingbing thought about it for a long time and felt that she couldn't resist it. But Yin Li insisted on her acting, and even told the investor China Film and Television: "You can't change actors in this movie even if you change the director, you have to find Li Bingbing." He knew Li Bingbing's birth background and the environment in which he grew up, so he felt that Wang Jindi's role was Especially suitable. Li Bingbing finally agreed to take the role in "Yun Shui Yao".
"Pink Girl" found Chen Haoshi for the role of the heartthrob. Chen Haoshi was busy preparing for the national tour of the drama. The filming schedule of the crew was adjusted three times, but Chen Hao refused every time, saying that he was not free. The fourth time was director Zhu Yi's call to Chen Hao: "Chen Hao, I don't know you, but I think if you have the opportunity to participate in this drama, it will change your life a lot. I want to meet you." , If it doesn't work, forget it." In Chen Hao's opinion, she was an unknown actor, and the director still wanted to cast her after rejecting it so many times. He really thought highly of her and finally agreed.
