Chapter 440: No kidding
The directors and screenwriters of Xiangjiang, as long as they can count the names, are more or less addicted to acting, and Li Mo naturally knows this.
There are not only strange people like Wang Jing, Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Xu Guanwen who are addicted to playing the leading role, but also Hong Jingbao, Chen Xunqi and even Teddy Robin, who are super fierce people who set up screenwriters, directors, actors, martial arts instructors, and even photography, soundtracks, etc......
Even Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, who did not appear on the big screen much later, can also see cameo roles played by the director himself in their early works.
…… Speaking of which, Li Mo followed a similar path in the original time and space.
But everything related to the crew's shooting, he learned it all.
But this is not the reason why Li Mo will loosen his mouth and agree to Zhuang Wenqiang's proposal.
Although there were all kinds of bad things in the Xiangjiang film circle in the eighties and nineties of the last century, it must be admitted that in that era, the name of 'Oriental Hollywood' was not just the boast of Xiangjiang filmmakers.
Outstanding talents in various positions can really be regarded as endless in those years.
Li Mo even doubted that Zhuang Wenqiang ...... Well, and Zhou Yanfa, did these two guys hit Guo Fucheng too hard by the injury, and directly regarded it as Xiangjiang a few decades ago......
The reason is certainly not so.
Although the youngest of the two people, Zhou Yunfa and Zhuang Wenqiang, has also passed the age of not being confused (forty years old), they are not old enough to think confused and dizzy.
Zhou Yunfa suggested that Zhuang Wenqiang consider Li Mo to play the male protagonist of "Wushuang", Li Wen, naturally it would not be an idea that came out of a hot head.
Li Mo's appearance can only be regarded as average at most in the film and television industry where handsome men and beauties emerge one after another. Although he is almost ten centimeters taller than Kwok Fucheng, in a world like a movie, where the height of the actor can be lengthened and shortened by relying on light and shadow, this height is basically negligible.
Zhou Yanfa took a fancy to Li Mo's temperament.
has no temperament, that is, no matter how good the acting skills are, they can't be played, or it is difficult to be noticed by the audience, which is why some old actors have excellent acting skills but are not famous. And some people stand in front of the camera, and they don't need too many words and actions to leave a deep impression on the audience, which is the role of temperament.
As we all know, temperament can be precipitated by time, or it can be naturally formed because of its social status and personal experience, and Li Mo is the latter type.
Probably the reason why he rarely stood in front of the spotlight before crossing over, every time Li Mo appeared on the big screen, he always gave people a feeling that he wanted to hide himself and be invisible to everyone, although Zhou Yunfa had not been in contact with him for a long time, but just from the performance in a few movies, Li Mo's problem was discovered.
If it is placed in other people or other movies, it is absolutely impossible for a person like Li Mo to play the leading role, but in "Wushuang", Li Mo's subconscious habit may make the role of Li Wen more convincing.
Because for most of the time in "Wushuang", Li Wen, who was presented to the audience, was a poor worm under the control of the 'painter'......
Li Mo's subconscious performance, to a certain extent, is definitely possible to be better than Guo Fucheng's performance.
"Mr. Li, you are busy, I naturally know this. But you also think about it, now that the preparatory work for "Wushuang" is on the right track, the supporting characters, the crew and even the behind-the-scenes team are all ready to go, it will be a waste of time to re-select the actor at this time. ”
Zhuang Wenqiang: This will be regarded as an open-mindedness.
Anyway, the director of the movie, the biggest actor has unified his opinion on this issue, and his right to speak has reached the limit, if Li Mo still doesn't accept the offer, then he will simply wait for Guo Fucheng to return from injury......
I have to say that Zhuang Wenqiang is worthy of being an old fritter who has worked hard in the Xiangjiang film industry for many years, and for capital and investors, high-speed, efficient and high-quality works are the foundation of everything.
"Is that so?"
As Molong Media's largest film investment at present, although Li Mo has long been psychologically prepared for heavy bleeding, if all the preparations in progress will be stopped because of the selection of the leading actor, it is indeed a bit unreasonable.
The preparation of the film crew is not something that can be stopped when it is stopped, and it can be started when it is started.
Not only do big-name actors have schedules, but supporting roles and more important behind-the-scenes positions also have schedules.
Most of these team members who are now being snare by Zhuang Wenqiang have pushed other jobs for the sake of his face, which is reasonable, so it is indeed a bit inappropriate to stop it.
Seeing that his words seemed to have had some effect on Li Mo, Zhuang Wenqiang continued to add weight to the roof: "Actually, I have always been a little worried about Cheng Tsai playing the role of Li Wen, although he is much younger than Fa Ge, but when he stands with Miss Liu Yifei, it is still easy to see the age gap, so I have always been worried about whether they can form a good tacit understanding......"
And Mr. Li and Miss Liu Yifei are so familiar, if they play a couple in a movie, it will definitely be no problem to cooperate. ”
Zhuang Wenqiang's words made Li Mo pause.
Although strictly speaking, the relationship between Li Mo and Liu Yifei can indeed be regarded as entangled, but it is only limited to contact at the company level, and in private, the two are at most limited than ordinary friends, right?
"However, it seems that what Zhuang Wenqiang said also makes some sense...... Li Mo touched his chin and calculated carefully, "A few days ago, I thought about being an actor wholeheartedly, Zhuang Wen emphasized the skills of teaching actors, it seems that ...... It should be okay, right?"
"Besides, I remember that in the script of "Wushuang", there was also an intimate scene with Li Wen and 'Ruan Wen'......"
"In that case, it doesn't hurt to try?"
…………
After Kwok Fucheng was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, as a rare big production of Xiangjiang films in recent years, the actor of "Wushuang" has become the focus of Xiangjiang media.
But just after director Zhuang Wenqiang made a trip to the north, the crew soon released the latest news.
As expected, the crew of "Wushuang" decisively launched a replacement plan because of Guo Fucheng's injury - while the crew thanked Guo Fucheng for his efforts in the preliminary preparation process, they also regretted to announce that due to Guo Fucheng's long recuperation time after his injury, the crew will have to terminate his actor contract......
In the end, the actor Li Wen confirmed that Li Mo would take over.
As soon as the news came out, the Xiangjiang media was in an uproar.
Li Mo's talent as a director has been proven through a steady stream of box office receipts.
But...... Acting?
Can he?
PS: Preview, it is inevitable that people and things in the Xiangjiang film industry will appear in the subsequent chapters.
For Xiangjiang films and Xiangjiang filmmakers, the author's attitude is to admire the many films and visual wonders they have contributed to us in the last century when there were few resources and insufficient special effects, but he also despises their complacency and lack of progress.
Because of complacency, the judging criteria for the Xiangjiang Film Awards are still that at least half of the staff or leading actors must have incense.
Because he doesn't want to forge ahead, while contributing many good movies, he has also contributed countless bad movies and garbage.
The above two, in the author's view, are the main reasons for the decline of Xiangjiang films.
