was really harassed by insiders, Ning Hao couldn't help but call Li Mu, first complained about what happened to him in the past few days, and then asked him when he would be able to return to Beijing, or when he would be able to determine the casting of "Flying Tigers".

Li Mu didn't hide his personal relationship with Ning Hao, telling him that he would return to Beijing in the next two days, but about the casting of "Flying Tigers", among the leading actors in the Chinese actors, he only identified one heroine, that is, the little girl he has always favored, Du Wei.

Ning Hao has read the script of "Flying Tigers", so he recognizes Du Wei's image of playing the Chinese heroine, and said with a smile: "I knew that you would definitely give this role to Du Wei, to be honest, Du Wei is also the best actor I can imagine." ”

"Heroes see the same thing. Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Du Wei, this little girl, don't look young, but her acting skills are really very good, the most important thing is that she has never learned acting at all, but she has the confidence to act whatever she wants." ”

"Confidence?" Ning Hao asked him, "Shouldn't it be said that it is acting?"

Li Mu smiled: "It's not acting, it's confidence." ”

In Li Mu's view, self-confidence is the foundation of acting.

People who don't have self-confidence, when they are in front of the camera, they can't even control their expressions, and they have to think about where to put their hands for a long time, let alone acting.

Only people who are confident enough, who can face the camera calmly or who are not affected by the camera at all, can have the soil for cultivating acting skills.

The prerequisite for acting like anything is that you don't have any fear and nervousness about acting in your bones, first of all, you can make sure that you play yourself well in front of the camera, if you don't have confidence, you can't even play your role well in front of the camera.

In fact, Li Mu had already discovered this problem through some small details.

Whether it is a Western country or an Eastern country, TV stations will often do some street interviews, but it can be clearly found that ordinary people in Eastern countries, mainly in China, will most of them reveal an obvious nervousness when facing the camera, but when ordinary people in Western countries are interviewed, most of them can talk eloquently in front of the camera, whether it is talking or expression, behavior, it is very natural, and there is no nervous appearance, which is the importance of self-confidence.

Li Mu feels that the people of the Eastern countries generally lack self-confidence, in fact, this is mainly because of the fact that for so many years in modern times, the Eastern countries, especially the Chinese nation, have been bullied by all countries in the world, and there are constant wars, and even in the era of peace, they have experienced a long period of difficulty and the stage of resting on their laurels, after the reform and opening up, the living conditions of the Chinese people have gradually improved, and the people's self-confidence has begun to regain.

The Chinese people in the 21st century are far more confident than at the end of the last century, but it will take a long time for the self-confidence in the bone marrow of a nation to be fully regained.

On the other hand, most of the Western countries are old imperialist countries, which have established colonies all over the world since the Age of Discovery, and have led the development of the world's industry, science and technology, and economy since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

It is precisely because Westerners have been at the forefront of the world since modern times, so the citizens of Western countries have far surpassed the self-confidence of Orientals throughout modern times, and this difference in self-confidence will imperceptibly lead to many very special social phenomena, for example, in Western developed countries, Chinese people are often discriminated against or treated unfairly, but in China, Westerners can always get more generous courtesy.

In addition, the acting skills of the people will also be deeply affected by this lack of self-confidence, so that 95% of the extras have no acting skills at all, and they will bring a deep sense of disobedience as soon as they appear in front of the camera, and the actors who come out of professional colleges are not much more than ordinary people, 80% of their acting skills are below the passing line, if they have enough confidence in their bones, their overall level of acting skills will rise by more than one level.

Look at Du Wei again, this girl will always have a kind of unwavering self-confidence, which is related to her family conditions, but also related to her growth environment, the theory that the economic base determines the superstructure has been greatly confirmed in her body, the children of rich families will be more confident than ordinary people since childhood, and those children who have lived in an environment where they have been worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and what to eat and wear tomorrow are difficult to see the aura of self-confidence.

As a human being in two lives, Li Mutai can feel how huge the economic foundation has changed a person.

If it weren't for the rebirth, if it weren't for the advanced thinking in his head that has surpassed this world for more than ten years, it would be difficult for Li Mu to really have self-confidence.

In fact, Li Mu himself has always been a typical young man who lacks self-confidence in his previous life, and his family conditions are relatively stretched, so that he has developed a cautious character since he was a child.

I am reluctant to eat too good things, and I am reluctant to buy clothes that are too expensive;

Going to a high-end restaurant will feel cramped and uneasy, and going to a high-end shopping mall will feel like a man's back;

When he pulls calves with good friends, he is very eloquent, and he talks at length at every turn, but when he is called up by the teacher in the class to recite a text, his nervous voice trembles;

It's hard to go abroad, and when you land and pass the customs, you will be inexplicably nervous, and you will speak English to foreigners, even if it is just a simple Excuse-me, you have to brew in your heart for a long time before you can export......

This is all the impact of the economic foundation on oneself in the previous life.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu especially hoped that young people in China could be more confident and less inferior in the process of growing up, and hoped that in the next twenty or thirty years, when the post-00s became adults, they would be able to have the same self-confidence as Westerners.

Regarding self-confidence, Li Mu has many feelings, but Ning Hao does not have such a deep experience, in contrast, he is more interested in Li Mu's choice of the male lead, and asks Li Mu if he has thought about it, and who will play the role of the male lead.

Li Mu replied: "To be honest, I haven't thought about who should play the actor until now, because of this role definition, its actors have to play opposite Tom Hanks, Leonardo and Anne Hathaway, if the acting skills are too different, then it will definitely bring a very strong sense of disobedience to the audience, but I have the impression that the actors who can have this kind of strength are basically artists of the older generation, and the younger generation of actors really can't be found." ”

Ning Hao snorted and said: "This role is really not easy to find, his requirements are too high, on the other hand, the heroine's requirements will be lower, after all, she only needs to play a good rivalry with Leonardo." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Hao suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, boss, "The Family of Gold Powder" is about to be broadcast, I heard that the quality of this TV series is still very high, and the starring Chen Kun, you seem to be familiar with him, what do you think of this person?"

"Chen Kun, ......" Li Mu smacked his lips, he had cooperated with him, in "Old Boy", he was originally asked to play the second male lead, and the whole cooperation was still very smooth, and Chen Kun is relatively humble, and the degree of cooperation is also very high, but Li Mu always feels that his acting skills seem to be almost meaningful.

Chen Kun in Li Mu's impression, Chen Kun at this age, no matter what role he plays, seems to deliberately hold a force, which makes his acting style look a little unnatural, to put it bluntly, in fact, his acting skills are not in place.

Ning Hao heard that Li Mu was gone, and knew that Li Mu might not be very satisfied with Chen Kun, and said with a smile: "If you think Chen Kun is not suitable, then you can also consider Lu Yi, he debuted earlier than Chen Kun, and he was already popular when he "Never Look Away". ”

Li Mu thought about Lu Yi's image, shook his head and said: "Lu Yi is not suitable, he is too young, and he does not have the temperament to play a pilot in the Anti-Japanese War." ”

Ning Hao then said several young actors who are currently popular, but Li Mu also refused them one by one without exception, which made Ning Hao helpless, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "I think it's better to let Huang Bo act! His acting skills are very, very OK, what does this guy act like!"

"No, I can't. Li Mu immediately vetoed: "Huang Bo's acting skills are no problem, but the image is a little sorry, you let him play this role, and play with Anne Hathaway, don't you think that kind of painting style will be very peculiar......?

"What about Xia Yu, but he is an actor!"

"No, the play road is too narrow! And to be honest, the appearance conditions are not much better than Huang Bo!"

"Oops!" Ning Hao sighed anxiously and said, "Why don't you see if there are any suitable actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan? How about Chen Guanxi? "Infernal Affairs" is still very outstanding, young, handsome, and his acting skills are OK. ”

"Day!" Li Mu subconsciously scolded: "You want to kill me!"

Ning Hao asked in surprise: "What's the matter, boss, I'm helping you come up with ideas, why did I cheat you......"

Li Mu came back to his senses at this time, Ning Hao must not have known about the tragedy caused by the repair of the computer a few years later, Chen Guanxi's appearance is very high, and his acting skills are very OK, but when he thinks of repairing the computer, Li Mu feels a little avoidant, not to mention, Li Mu really doesn't want to use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in this movie, he feels that this is an unprecedented cooperation between himself on behalf of the mainland film industry and Hollywood, and he should ensure the purity of this cooperation, this movie, Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign Chinese actors He is not ready to invite.

So, Li Mu said to Ning Hao: "For this movie, I want the whole mainland team in Huaxia, whether it is in front of the stage or behind the scenes." ”

Ning Hao sighed and said, "That's okay, I'll look for you again." ”

"Good. ”

hung up the phone, Li Mu was also a little melancholy, Spielberg had already begun to prepare to start filming in the United States, and he would come to Huaxia as soon as the filming in the United States ended, but he had never thought about who should use the Chinese actor in the script, this matter was really difficult to do.

Wei Lan on the side listened to Li Mu's phone call the whole time, and seeing his melancholy face, he cautiously asked: "My dear, have you ever seen a movie called "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog"?"
