Chapter 1259: Casting
The "little ghost" of "Home Alone" is the soul character, whether this movie is wonderful or not, the key depends on his interpretation.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Happy Boys?"
Xu Qian's Beyond Entertainment has many child actors, especially the actor of the first generation of "Happy Boy" "Ding Kaile", and now his popularity is even more explosive.
But he's older.
Xu Qian is quite fond of Li Yang, popular enough, handsome, good-looking, and it can be regarded as the childhood memory of a generation, if he can participate in "Home Alone", then his position will be more consolidated, and he may become the most awesome child star in Chinese history.
But he is too old to be suitable for the role of "Home Alone", and if he is forced to play it, he is likely to collapse.
Therefore, Xu Qian decided to conduct a comprehensive audition.
On the official website of Beyond Entertainment and Xu Qian's scarf, the news of "Home Alone" recruiting young actors was announced.
For a time, the whole of China was shaken.
"Xu Qian's new movie?"
"What is Home Alone?"
For a time, people all over China were attracted by this news.
After the broadcast of "The King of Comedy", Xu Qian's reputation reached a higher level.
Soon, news came one after another that this was a combination of Chinese and Western films, and it was a film that Xu Qian planned to enter the Western market, and Ross and Matthew would also participate.
Ross and Matthew are also well-known in China, and many people in China also like to watch "Friends".
"Friends" is an absolute classic, which no one can deny, because it transcends the boundaries of time, no matter when it is turned out, you can still see new ideas, and you will never get bored.
The classic of Friends is precisely in its ordinariness and simplicity, the whole play describes the life of ordinary people, you may not live in New York, but there will be work difficulties, and emotional ups and downs, everyone more or less, can see a trace of their own shadow from the characters in the play.
The advantage of such a realistic drama setting is that it can bring a sense of substitution to ordinary audiences, and the disadvantage is that there are not too many surprises and freshness.
Compared with other American dramas, the character settings of Friends are indeed simple, and they do not rely on the differentiation and freshness that are far away from people's real lives to attract people.
But because of this, once you are attracted by this simplicity, you will fall into it even more and can't extricate yourself.
Of course, it is even more difficult to do this, which tests the ability of the screenwriter and the expressiveness of the actors.
For these two points, Friends undoubtedly did an excellent job.
The ordinary but distinctive characters, the smooth and logical and unexpected plot, deeply rooted in everyday but touching emotions, reflect the screenwriter's ability to control the overall situation, and the various gags, laughter and scolding, mutual ridicule and self-mockery are even more convenient, and new details can be discovered every time you watch it.
As for the actors, the six people have all completed their respective tasks very well, so that their role positioning is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which has profoundly affected the acting path of the six actors in the future, and even to the extent that it affects their personal lives.
The characters of Ross and Matthew are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
When you see Matthew, you feel like he's going to taunt you and tell you unreliable jokes.
When you see Rose, you think of his sadomasochistic relationship with Rachel.
The division and combination of Rachel and Ross in ten seasons can be said to be the biggest attraction, and it is also the core part of the main line of Friends by the screenwriter.
The emotional entanglement between these two people is so complex and long that it can be said that all the fans of Friends remember love and hate, although everyone may think that the two people will inevitably come together in the end, but so many gatherings and dispersions still make people melancholy, frustration, misunderstanding, betrayal, and quarrel...... Scattered and complete throughout the plot.
I'm afraid all friends and fans would never have thought that when the two broke up in the third season, they would not be able to see them reunite after seven years......
But at the last minute, you will find that all the right and wrong arguments before are meaningless.
Who is sorry for whom?
None of them thought that way themselves, and perhaps the best explanation is that they were never separated.
Ross and Matthew are particularly well-known in China, and when the news of their participation in Friends broke, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"I'll go, my god!"
"Xu Qian is so powerful, he can even invite them. β
"When I was a child, I especially liked to watch "Friends", just watching those six people sitting together chattering, I felt very happy~~"
"The classics are indeed classics, and I have watched them no less than ten times, and it is really good that Xu Qian can invite them. β
"I've watched the show no less than five or six times, and every time I start from the seventh season, I'm sad that it's going to end, and by the tenth season, I want to cry every time I laugh, and it's almost over... That's it. β
"Now I will still take it out and watch it, I will still be moved or I will feel full of happiness, this drama will not change for me, it is still the deepest beauty. β
"I did cry when they put their keys on the table when they watched the last episode of the second time. β
"Maybe my strengths were born to make up for your shortcomings, and my shortcomings are waiting for you to fill them, and the second time I'm about to finish my love affair with Chandler for the second time!
"Monica and Chandler's love is the warmest existence in the show for me, originally I hoped that Monica and the handsome old guy would eventually get married, and then I always compared him and Chandler to think that the latter is inferior, but as you said, they grow together in love and are beautiful together, the marriage proposal episode is one of my favorite episodes, how many years have passed, how many times have I watched it, every time I kneel down to Monica, I still burst into tears, this feeling is not too many dramas can give me, I can only say that I feel happy to have such a series with me for a lifetimeγ β
"This is my childhood feeling, I really didn't think about it, it came true, it was really much beyond my expectations. β
γγγγγγγγγγγγ
Home Alone has garnered a huge amount of attention because of the attention of Ross and Matthew.
Then Xu Qian announced that Uncle Da would participate in "Home Alone", which attracted the attention of some people, who is Uncle Da, the gold medal supporting actor in Hong Kong's golden age, he has played an important supporting role in many comedies, it can be said that he is one of the labels of Hong Kong movies.
When the news got out, "Home Alone" was even more eye-catching.
Just by looking at the cast, you know that "Home Alone" is a hit movie, and has Xu Qian's movie failed so far?
No, not once, none of the films directed by Xu Qian have failed in everything.
From "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" to "My Girlhood", the youth trilogy of "My Sassy Girlfriend", to the kung fu film "Ip Man", the police film "Infernal Affairs", "The Departed", and then to the recent "King of Comedy", as long as it is a movie shot by Xu Qian, it has never failed.
And the movies he shoots usually fly with word-of-mouth and box office, and it is precisely because of this that he has become an iconic figure in the Chinese entertainment industry and the best director in China.
ββββββββββββββ
The casting of "Home Alone" can be said to be a national attention, after all, "Little Ghost" is the soul of "Home Alone", and this movie Xu Qian is going to enter the European and American markets.
This means that this is the second film to be released worldwide after Xu Qianji's "The Departed".
Released worldwide!
What a rare opportunity, and the opportunity can be said to be one step to the sky.
Many domestic actors spend money to go to the Grammys, spend money to go to the Avenue of Fame, spend money to mix with the Oscars, play soy sauce to participate in various European and American movies, buy various awards, and win the titles of "actor" and "actress" at unknown film festivals, what are they for?
In order to force the qualification.
In the eyes of many people, the moon in a foreign country is round, as long as you go abroad to plate a layer of gold, then you will be old and awesome when you come back, and it will be very forced.
In fact, it's just a big-tailed wolf, what to pretend?
And now, as long as you participate in Xu Qian's movies, you don't need to pay for yourself at all, you don't need to make any sacrifices at all, and you don't need to grovel and lick others, as long as the movie is popular, then you can become famous and popular all over Asia, what a good thing?
Who can make an international name before that, and who can do it other than kung fu superstars Bruce Lee and Brother Long?
As for those female vases that play soy sauce in major movies, they will only make people feel resigned, and the roles of those people are not bright roles, many of them are flat and have no characteristics at all, and even some characters deliberately satirize the Chinese.
Participating in Xu Qian's movie is different, it is the absolute protagonist, and it will definitely be very, very attractive.
Therefore, after the national audition of "Home Alone" was released, the popularity was incomparable, because this was an opportunity to become an "international superstar" in one fell swoop, if "Home Alone" became popular in the world, then the ghost who played "Home Alone" will become an internationally renowned child star.
The starting point between people is different, some people are born noble, some people are born with their backs to the loess, and many people have contacted Xu Qian since the news of Xu Qian's audition was released.
The third master of Zhongying said to Xu Qian: "I have a nephew, I think he meets your standards, why don't you think about it?"
When it comes to Xu Qian's status today, the only one who can call Xu Qian "Xiao Xu" is this third master, and no one else has this qualification.
Xu Qian is not easy to refuse directly, not that he does not dare, but because of the sophistication of human feelings, the third master once provided him with a lot of help, and he can't refuse now.
However, Xu Qian is not willing to compromise casually, he still attaches great importance to his works, this "little ghost" is the soul of "Home Alone", he can't just find someone to make do.
As Xu Qian predicted, this "little ghost" will become an international child star, and he will become one of the representative figures in the Chinese entertainment industry, and he must choose carefully.
"I think about it. β
Xu Qian said noncommittally.
Liu Hua also called Xu Gan: "Ah Qian doesn't know if the protagonist of "Home Alone" is decided?"
"This is in the process of being determined. β
Xu Qiandao.
Brother Long called Xu Gan: "I don't know if that kid in my family can participate in "Home Alone"?"
βwtfοΌβ
Xu Qian looked confused.
"Brother Long, do you have an illegitimate child again?"
Xu Qian asked.
Brother Longγγγγγγγγγγγ
Didn't I just make the same mistakes that all of China would make, and I need to keep an eye on me?
"No, I was trying to ask if there is a supporting role suitable for my kid?"
Brother Long said.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
Brother Long's kid is also a famous pit dad star of the second generation, he is really a tiger father and a dog, I don't know how much trouble he has caused Brother Long, but after all, he is his own son, Brother Long can only wipe his ass all the time, otherwise what else?
Xu Qian didn't want this kind of person, but he finally said: "Brother Long, I just have a supporting role here that is suitable for him." β
Brother Long said, "Thank you." β
Xu Qian could only sigh that Brother Long was so high-spirited when he was young, but when he was old, he begged for help because of his son.
Xu Qian simply turned off his mobile phone, there are some things that cannot be escaped in China's humane society, as for "iron-faced selflessness" and "uprightness", Xu Qian has not been ruthless to such a point, so he simply can't see it, and no one wants to find me.
Xu Qian also participated in the audition, but he didn't find anyone who made his eyes shine, and he didn't know how to describe how to make his eyes shine?
Xu Qian went out for a walk, and before he knew it, he came to the small mountain village that he used to be, when Xu Qian came here, he found that this place has changed greatly, not only did he assume all kinds of suspension bridges, but also built a lot of stone roads, you must know that when Xu Qian first came, it was a mountain road, rugged.
Of course, there is Xu Gan's credit for this, after the photo of Xu Gan's "big eyes" was released, it attracted widespread attention and was listed as a key poverty alleviation area.
And Xu Qian himself has invested a lot in charity, which is why this place can be renewed.
Xu Qian came to the small mountain village only to find out what has changed, in the past, many of them were mud houses, now everyone is tiled houses, and some people have even built small western-style houses.
In the past, there was only one school within a hundred miles here, but now there are many schools with the name of "Xu Qian" alone.
Xu Qianγγγγγγγγγγ
He didn't have any money in his heart about the charities he founded and the money he had donated, and these "Xu Qian Colleges" were all run by his subordinates, and now I don't know how many such "Xu Qian Colleges" there are in the whole of China.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Gan's reputation among the people is still very good, many celebrities are not charitable, but Xu Qian is silently doing his own dedication for charity, whether you say he stinks fart, you say that he pretends to be forced, you can't erase his contribution to charity.
Xu Qian felt very ashamed of these "Xu Qian Academy", he didn't like it to be so direct, and it was better to be tactful in doing charity.
Then he saw what "Xu Qianlou", "Xu Qian Square", "Xu Qian Park", "Xu Qian Road", he was really speechless about this, this is really a bit excessive, people who don't know still think that he particularly likes to sell his reputation and fish for reputation.
In fact, with his current popularity, his strength does not need to be famous, he has become one of the brightest stars in the sky.
Since he came here, Xu Qian was ready to recuperate for a few days to calm down the turbulent waves in his heart.
To be honest, although he is in the city, he is full of stars, but he is constantly running like a machine, even with Xu Qian's physical strength, he can't stand it.
It's good to take advantage of this time to relax, a combination of work and rest, and the rest now is for better work in the future.
Xu Qian was going to find his old friend first, he had the deepest impression of a person in this small mountain village, that person was Song Song, a teacher who graduated from a well-known college in 985, and actually ran here to teach, saying that he was tired of city life, and he also hooked up with a female student here, such a person is really too angry, it can be called a generation of strange people.
Xu Qian is going to meet Song Song now.
