Chapter 730: Referring to the Deer as a Horse
July 15th.
Produced by Light and Shadow Company, Lin Xiaoguang served as the producer and actor, and Song Xiaofei directed the film "Love Saint" for the first time as a director, and held a lively start-up press conference in Shaojing City.
Except for Ma Yili and Li Chengmin, who have not yet joined the group because of the schedule, the crew basically participated in the press conference for other reasons.
At the press conference of "Love Saint", Lin Xiaoguang pretended to be melancholy and said: "I am in a very complicated mood now, and I will never find such a good photographer and recording engineer in the future." ”
"But I believe in their strength, and this movie will definitely be even more hilarious than my comedy. ”
The photographer and sound engineer in Lin Xiaoguang's mouth are the chief director Song Xiaofei and the executive director Dong Xu respectively.
Obviously, "Love Saint" will be their directorial debut, and the two have participated in comedies such as "Heart Flower Road", "Detective Chinatown" and so on.
The screenwriters of "Love Saint" are "husband and wife" Li Xiao and Yu Miao, who have partnered to create the TV series "Big Husband" and "Little Husband".
At the press conference, Lin Xiaoguang and Song Xiaofei generously "admitted" that the film script was adapted from the 1984 Hollywood comedy film "The Lady in Red", which avoided the embarrassment of being accused of plagiarizing the old American movie "Peggy Sue Wants to Marry" as soon as "Charlotte's Troubles" was completed.
Although Song Xiaofei is the director of "Love Saint", Lin Xiaoguang is still the focus of the audience, and almost every reporter starts asking questions around him.
In this regard, the two directors Song Xiaofei and Dong Xu naturally have no opinions, and they also hope that through Lin Xiaoguang's appeal, the movie "Love Saint" can be promoted to a greater extent.
In fact, this is also normal, after all, those reporters don't know Song Xiaofei and Dong Xu at all, and Lin Xiaoguang joined the crew of "Love Saint" this time, which can be regarded as escorting the two new directors Song Xiaofei and Dong Xu.
"Hello Lin Dong, we are reporters from Tencent Entertainment, we want to know, is there any difference between the new movie "Love Saint" and "Charlotte's Troubles" with you and Happy Twist?"
Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and said calmly: "Of course there is, "Love Saint" and "Charlotte's Troubles", although they are both movies of which I am a producer, but their styles are not the same, how to say, "Charlotte's Troubles" fairy tale sense should be stronger, and our current film has a stronger sense of reality." ”
In addition, screenwriter Yu Miao also revealed that Fang Xinli Media had the copyright of "The Girl in Red" at that time, and after Song Xiaofei knew about it, he bought the copyright, hoping to adapt it into a down-to-earth movie.
Therefore, compared with the original work, "Love Saint" retains the motivation setting of the protagonist, and the script is completely localized.
How to avoid adapting to the soil and water and skillfully carry out localized creation, the screenwriting team has also worked hard.
"Although "The Lady in Red" is relatively old, it is compatible with some things in our modern society. Director Song Xiaofei said.
Subsequently, Song Xiaofei also expressed his gratitude to Lin Xiaoguang.
"I really want to thank Xiaoguang for having the opportunity to adapt it into a movie this time. ”
Dong Xu also echoed: "That's right, if there is no Lin Dong, it is still unknown whether our crew can be formed." ”
Regarding the gratitude of the two directors, Lin Xiaoguang did not ask for credit, and said modestly: "I think the trust between people is mutual, if the two directors do not have this ability, I will not bring money into the group." ”
In terms of movie casting, "Love Saint" not only attracted Lin Xiaoguang to join, but also attracted Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan, Allen, and Yan Ni to join, which can be regarded as a collection of different comedy genres such as Love Laughter Conference Room, Happy Twist, Baimei Studio, and Zhao Jiaban.
Although in Lin Xiaoguang's view, it is not easy to integrate the differences between the comedy culture of the north and the south.
But several leading actors have a deep audience base in their respective fields of comedy.
As long as the second-tier box office cities are successfully opened and sink to the third-tier to a greater extent, they can strive for a larger incremental market for the film.
Of course, at the press conference, what made Lin Xiaoguang feel most gratifying was that Yan Ni finally lost weight after a month of hard work, wearing a gray slim dress, giving people a feeling of urban beauty.
Because Yan Ni was going to play the glamorous and domineering female president in the play, when Lin Xiaoguang just invited her to join the crew, he ordered her to lose at least more than 10 pounds within a month.
On the other hand, Yan Ni also lived up to Lin Xiaoguang's expectations, and "retreated and cultivated" in just one month, maintaining her figure in the slimmest state in recent years.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at Yan Ni, who had successfully lost weight, and teased with a smile: "Sister Yan Ni, it's okay, I haven't seen you for a month, but I've lost so much weight." ”
"How's that, it looks okay, right?" Yan Ni also asked with a smile.
"Okay, you have to do it, but how many pounds have you lost this month? Lin Xiaoguang asked with interest.
Yan Ni glanced at Lin Xiaoguang charmingly, and quipped with a smile: "Guess?"
In this regard, Lin Xiaoguang just smiled and did not continue to ask.
However, Yan Ni also smiled and said that she wanted to thank Lin Xiaoguang and increased her confidence: "Lin Dong, thank you for being so strict with me and making me lose so thin, so that I have the confidence to go another step in the movie." ”
Lin Xiaoguang replied modestly: "Don't say that, even if you don't lose weight, you can still walk in the film industry." ”
Other actors also praised the "goddess" in their hearts - Xiao Shenyang Kuayanni's long legs, "a bit of Victoria's Secret feeling".
And Qiao Shan said that Yan Ni has a good figure, a good personality and femininity, and originally wanted to say that she was a half-old, but then she changed her words and said with a pun: "It is very easy for men to like it."
When he heard Qiao Shan's sentence "It's very easy to fall in love", Lin Xiaoguang, Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaofei and a bunch of men all laughed out loud in the same class.
Some of the seemingly male reporters in the audience also smiled tacitly.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan Ni looked at them confusedly.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "I didn't laugh at anything, Qiao Shan meant that you have lost weight and are more goddessed than before." ”
Although Yan Ni is not smart, she is not stupid, and she soon understood the reason for their laughter, and her face became irrepressibly hot.
The preparations in front of and behind the scenes were almost accurate, and the crew began to enter the filming work the day after the launch conference of "Love Saint".
After the start-up, Lin Xiaoguang and Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan, Allen, and Chang Yuan formed a "five cheap" lineup.
In addition to Lin Xiaoguang, the other four "Five" can be regarded as a national comedy team that has laughed all over the Internet, stage, small screen, and big screen.
In other words, in Lin Xiaoguang's view, the most active comedy film actors in China can be divided into six grades.
In the first gear, there is only one person, then Zou Xingchi, there is no need to say more about being a god.
The second gear is Ge You and Xu Zheng, don't spray, Xu Zheng has really reached the realm of Ge You, an outstanding representative of middle-aged men with cold humor in the mainland.
The third gear should be Shen Teng, low-key funny, Shen Teng did it, basically reaching the realm of Zou Xingchi in "The King of Destruction" in the early days, Chang Yuan is actually not bad, but the coffee position is too low and he is not qualified to enter the discussion.
As for the fourth gear, it is Wang Bo and Huang Baoqiang, who are really not very funny, but people with low laughter can still laugh, just laugh.
The fifth gear is some movie supporting actors, such as Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Yang and others, Xiao Shenyang and Xiao Yang, the two actors, Lin Xiaoguang worked with them in "Detective Chinatown", I feel that their performances are very surprising, much funnier than imagined.
As for the outstanding representative of the sixth gear, it is Bao Bell, and the hosts of "Happy Family", TM can't be funny at all, and he has to act in comedy.
However, because these actors in Xiao Shenyang have a strong sense of substitution, Lin Xiaoguang has reason to believe that their joining will greatly shorten the time to detonate the laughter and make the burden tremble very intensively.
In the first scene of the start-up, Lin Xiaoguang in a bathrobe appeared on the balcony of dozens of floors, and as he jumped, the camera quickly flashed back to a few days ago.
