Chapter 721: True Colors
If you compare a movie to a dinner, Lin Xiaoguang should be the best movie chef in China, he can always use the most ordinary ingredients to make delicious food.
The script of "Love Saint" has not yet been sent to the Film Bureau for review, and before the project has been skimmed, some investors have put the profits of the light and shadow company as the producer into their accounts in order to express their sincerity.
What those investors mean is that Lin Xiaoguang is rich anyway, and he won't cheat their money, so it is better to use it for maintaining public relations with the light and shadow company first.
Anyway, in their eyes, as long as they follow Lin Xiaoguang together, even if they can't eat meat, they can at least share some soup and drink, and they don't have to worry about revenue at all.
However, Lin Xiaoguang was not ambiguous, and confessed his thoughts on the operation of the project "Love Saint" to those investors, he not only wanted to be a producer this time, but also played the male lead in this movie.
What surprised Lin Xiaoguang was that those investors didn't care about these at all, and they didn't consider whether Lin Xiaoguang was suitable for acting in comedy, they mainly liked Lin Xiaoguang's ability to run movies, as long as Lin Xiaoguang could sell movie tickets like before, Lin Xiaoguang would do whatever he wanted.
In other words, after debuting for so many years, Lin Xiaoguang has played many heroes and heroes, and has also played many despicable and shameless villains, but because his image is too thoughtful and restrained, he has never tried to play a comedy protagonist.
When he saw the script of "Love Saint", Lin Xiaoguang found that his private situation and mentality were very similar to the protagonist Xiao Han in it, they all belonged to the kind of scumbag who ate in the bowl and still remembered the pot.
In the script of "Love Saint", Xiao Han, who has a stable life, has a stable job, a virtuous wife, and a happy family, but is facing mid-life crises such as the company and the family, and the seven-year itch.
Megumi Yanagishita, who pretends to be a self-proclaimed woman, regained the feeling of heartbeat because he met a sexy beauty model by chance, so he wanted to get close to the goddess through work.
While trying to "hide from the world" on his wife's side, he also has to deal with the mistakes with Sima Lilian on the top.
To be honest, after reading the script of "Love Saint", Lin Xiaoguang deeply felt that Xiao Han, the protagonist, was completely tailor-made for him.
It's just that compared with Xiao Han, Lin Xiaoguang is much "lucky" than Xiao Han, because as long as it is the woman he Lin Xiaoguang has a crush on, basically she has never failed.
After debuting for so many years, it is the first time that Lin Xiaoguang has the urge to play a comedy role, but he is very conflicted and worried, afraid that he is not funny enough and will play this role badly.
On the other hand, Lin Xiaoguang also felt that his role as Xiao Han was simply his true colors.
When he got home in the evening, Lin Xiaoguang told Li Xiaoran about his idea.
"Wife, what do you think...... How about me acting in a comedy?" Lin Xiaoguang asked expectantly.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaoran asked rhetorically, "Husband, have you ever acted in comedy before?"
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head and denied: "No, if guest appearances in other people's movies don't count, then I should ...... Never acted in a comedy. ”
Li Xiaoran said bluntly: "That's not it, since no one has ever asked you to act in a comedy, it also proves that you may not have the potential and attainments in this area." ”
After saying that, Li Xiaoran felt that his words seemed to be a little too hurtful, so he smiled and quipped: "To put it simply, my husband's face is too handsome and handsome, and he is not suitable for pretending to be ugly and funny!"
Lin Xiaoguang said unconvinced: "That's because you are too obsessed with my appearance and ignore my own comedy talent." ”
Li Xiaoran couldn't help but smile and said, "Pull it down, my narcissistic husband, my wife will give you a little sunshine, and you will be brilliant, right?"
Lin Xiaoguang also smiled, pretending to be sad and said, "Wife, I didn't say you, you really underestimate your husband." ”
"You always think that your husband became popular because of his face, but in fact, I am also a powerful actor. ”
Li Xiaoran glanced at him and said angrily: "Husband, you are really not ashamed, I am embarrassed to criticize you." ”
Obviously, Li Xiaoran is not optimistic that Lin Xiaoguang can transform into a comedian like Xu Zheng.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't believe in this evil, so he made an appointment with Song Xiaofei the next day, and told Song Xiaofei about this idea in the chairman's office.
After learning that Lin Xiaoguang planned to play the actor Xiao Han in "Love Saint" by himself, Song Xiaofei was also confused and reluctant.
Like Li Xiaoran's thoughts, although Song Xiaofei admits that Lin Xiaoguang's level of directing comedy movies, he doesn't think that as an actor, Lin Xiaoguang can act in comedy well.
After all, "acting" and "directing" are two different concepts, although some directors have excellent acting skills, but there are also many directors who can direct and teach others how to act, and when it is their turn, it may not be good.
In Song Xiaofei's opinion, Lin Xiaoguang's role as Xiao Han may have the same effect as Wang Xiaoming's comedy, that is, it is too embarrassing, I can't let it go, and the acting is not funny, and it is easy to hold.
In terms of acting skills, Lin Xiaoguang's acting skills are not much better than Wang Xiaoming.
It's just that Wang Xiaoming's works are too many, and most of them are uneven, and his acting skills are also high and low, giving the audience the illusion that his acting skills are very poor and he can't act.
Although Lin Xiaoguang acted less, he performed very steadily, at least without Wang Xiaoming's evil smile, so the audience's impression of him has always been very good.
Of course, Wang Xiaoming is not without acting skills, and his movies such as "The Son of Heaven", "The Wind", and "Huaguo Partner" are also very prominent.
Song Xiaofei hesitated for a long time, as if he was organizing language, and then asked in disbelief: "Xiaoguang, you won't be joking with me, right? You are a big boss of a film company, since you want to transform into a comedy?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded and said calmly: "Yes, is there anything wrong with me acting in comedy?"
"Consumption, can you tell me, who stipulated that the big boss of the film company can't act in comedy?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang didn't mean to joke at all, Song Xiaofei could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "Xiaoguang, you are the producer and my boss, what do you want, then do it." ”
Lin Xiaoguang could feel the complaint and helplessness in Song Xiaofei's words, so he smiled and sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Xiaofei, don't be so negative." ”
"You have been in this circle for so many years, you should know very well that it is normal for me to bring money into the group to be the protagonist. ”
Without waiting for Song Xiaofei to answer, Lin Xiaoguang then asked: "Brother Xiaoguang, let me ask you, have you ever made a bad movie after I debuted for so many years?"
Song Xiaofei thought about it seriously, whether he was an actor, a director, or a producer, Lin Xiaoguang really hadn't made a bad movie.
There is a saying in the industry, Lin Ying's products must be high-quality products, and Song Xiaofei still knows how much he knows.
What's more, as long as Lin Xiaoguang decides something, even if Song Xiaofei wants to refuse, he doesn't have the confidence to refuse.
Whoever has the money is the one who says, Lin Xiaoguang is his financier, if Lin Xiaoguang does not help him pull investment, it is unknown whether the drama "Love Saint" can be established.
Looking at the hesitant Song Xiaofei, Lin Xiaoguang said earnestly: "Brother Xiaofei, you can put a hundred hearts, you can be your director with peace of mind, I will be my producer with peace of mind, and I will also send a drama appointment to Yan Ni as you said." ”
