Chapter 683: Someone Else's Child
Although the original work of "July and Ansheng" is just a short story in Baby Anne's collection, it is a flashback of the entanglement between the two sisters from childhood to adulthood, and the crew adapted by Xue Xiaolu has abbreviated and streamlined it again on this basis, and the final content presented has naturally become a condensation of the emotional flashpoints of the two people, "July" and "Ansheng".
The length of the script is not too long, so Fat Di also reads it quite quickly.
Although the relationship with Fat Di is close enough, Li Mo still can't see from Fat Di's facial expressions what kind of opinion she has about this script.
In the middle of boredom, Li Mo held a glass of drink, stared out the window and began to empty his mind......
Anyway, the text of the Celestial Empire is more reliable, but it is basically not difficult for children who have received compulsory education to read the article, but the Hollywood stars on the other side of the Pacific often can't understand what the script is talking about......
…… The gap is too big.
It can be seen that even if you want to cooperate with Hollywood actors in the future, at least in the script that the other party reads, you must be concise and to the point, one is one, two is two, don't mess up so many messy things.
But having said that, it seems that Wu Jing should have cooperated more with foreign actors in recent years, so you can ask him if he has any tricks......
When Li Mo started to diverge his thinking from the literary and artistic script in front of him to "Wolf Warrior 2", Fat Di had already finished reading the script in his hand and began to look at Li Mo in a daze with curiosity......
"Xiaodi, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"
"Because I want to know what you're thinking?"
"What am I thinking?" Li Mo waved his hand speechlessly, "Don't worry about me for now, have you finished reading the script you just asked?"
"Well, this script is a bit difficult to understand, but I can still tell that this is about various entanglements between a pair of girlfriends......"
Li Mo rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache......
Well, I retract what I just said about Hollywood actors not being able to read the script.
It turns out that there is really a situation in this world that 'every word written on a piece of paper is taken apart and recognized, but when put together, you can't read what they are talking about'......
But then again, many times literary movies like this do not have a complete plot at all.
For example, "Rizhao Chongqing" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, the synopsis of the whole movie is one sentence: Lin Quanhai, a captain who has been adrift at sea for a long time, neglected his family because he was busy with work, which made him realize that his life was a failure, so Lin Quanhai decided to return to Chongqing to find the truth and self-reflection.
It is thanks to an old actor like Wang Xueqi that he can be the leading actor.
In other words, you may not know what kind of character you are playing from beginning to end......
Seeing that Fat Di was still planning to share his understanding of this script with him, Li Mo felt that he raised his hand to interrupt the other party's talking, "Xiaodi, since you have also read the script, do you like the two roles of July and Ansheng?"
"Hmm...... If you want me to choose," Fat Di seemed to really like Xue Xiaolu's script, she pinched her chin and pondered for a long time, "I prefer An Sheng." ”
After listening to Fat Di's answer, Li Mo was really a little confused.
In Li Mo's past impression, he always felt that Fat Di was a girl who cared about her appearance very much.
That's not a big deal.
But how many of those who are confident in their appearance are willing to show themselves in an unkempt state?
Even an actor like Charlize Theron, who won the Oscar for Best Actress with his subversive makeup, will be back in shape as soon as the filming of the movie is over.
This fully proves that in the eyes of most people, good external conditions will naturally add points.
As a member of Molong Media, in an environment surrounded by extremely good-looking existences, Fat Di is naturally unwilling to be left behind.
"Xiaodi, maybe you haven't read the original book, in the original book, An Sheng ......"
"Ansheng is not a pretty girl. ”
Before Li Mo could finish speaking, Fat Di had already opened his mouth and directly interrupted him.
"You know, can you tell us why you like Ansheng?"
"Because I've always been a 'child of someone else's family' in July since I was a child, if I have the opportunity, I actually want to experience what it's like to be a bad boy, but since I can't do it in real life, then I can only dream in movies......"
I didn't expect that.
Although Li Mo knew that Fat Di was an external and internal character, he really didn't expect that Fat Di still had a rebellious side in his bones......
"Just for this reason?" Li Mo deliberately emphasized, "Doesn't it matter if you pretend to be ugly?"
"It's okay!"
Well, now that the two women have reached a consensus, Li Mo decisively decided to retreat.
This is really not Li Mo's instigation.
Xue Xiaolu, as the director and initiator of the project, since she has already met with Baby Anne, it is very likely that the original author has also communicated with Xue Xiaolu's actor candidates, since the original author, the adapted screenwriter/director, and the actor himself have reached an agreement, then Li Mo's forced intervention will not seem to have any benefit in addition to being a villain for nothing.
Since this is the case, the investment of thirty or forty million is not very much anyway, Li Mo simply let it go, and the right is to accompany Fat Di to make an attempt to brush the award......
If you fish out something from the net, won't you make a lot of money?
…………
After Fat Di's own opinion was very clear, Li Mo also asked Feng Wen to send the script to Liu Yifei, who was still filming the variety show "Adventures in Life" abroad.
Although Li Mo told Liu Yifei that during the production cycle, he would edit as many shows as he could, but this time "Adventures in Life" seems to have lit up another talent in Liu Yifei's body, in just three months, according to Liu Yifei's current schedule and materials, there is no problem with at least one eight-episode outdoor reality show.
If it weren't for the fact that he was very interested in Li Mochuan's past script of "July and Ansheng", Liu Yifei even planned to stay abroad for a while to let the soul of his female literary youth come out and breathe.
After learning that the director of this script was Xue Xiaolu, who had worked with him, although Liu Yifei was also very interested in the role of 'An Sheng', since Xue Xiaolu had made a preset in the script, Liu Yifei did not continue to insist, and soon made a reply confirming the role to be taken.
At this point, the two most important heroines in the movie "July and Ansheng" have been determined, and the next thing is the coordination of actors' schedules and investment.
