Chapter 482: Choosing an Actor

At the beginning, after asking Li Wei to collect information about Mary Matlin, Li Xu quickly found her information in his memory, the youngest Oscar-winning actress and the first Oscar-winning actress for people with disabilities. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It looks ordinary, it is completely by luck and relying on its true colors to win the Oscar, but the real person is more vivid than these literal messages.

There is no inferiority, no cowardice, he will sigh when he is mentioned as a defect, but he will definitely not feel sorry for himself, and he is very energetic, this is the first impression that Mary gave him.

That's why Li Xu asked people to find a sign language teacher when the information had not yet been collected.

Then he tried his best to get the script of "Children of God" out of favor, and found the original version to prepare, and then let her audition through the agency.

Not to mention the second meeting after a few months, it took some thought to make her feel upset, but she didn't go further, but put on a posture of casting a long line to catch a big fish, so ......

Li Xu removed his head, wiped a handful of water from his face, and frowned slightly.

It's still not right, if you want to say something tempting, he has been moved by Lin Qingxia and Zhong Yinhong, especially Zhong Yinhong, who is willing to do something for her smile.

If you want to be careful with women and like to concoct a little bit and eat slowly, this was the case with Teresa Teng at the beginning, not to mention a few little maids.

But compared to Mary, it's still a little different, it's really ...... Odd.

No matter how much it is. Li Xu took a deep breath, he didn't like this kind of situation that was out of control, anyway, he could definitely eat her with "Children Who Fell Out of Favor with God", and there would be no problem with the Oscar for Best Actress.

Although the original version won the award, in addition to the bonus for people with disabilities, there is also the momentum of the stage play - before it was adapted into a movie, the stage play has been performed many times, and it has caused a lot of repercussions.

However, this trouble is not difficult to solve, it is enough to have people with disabilities, not to mention that there are other plans this year, if it can be released within the year, it will be enough to pack it together to put pressure on the film school.

In short, with these as compensation, it should be enough, although it should have been hers.

Li Xu often favors what should belong to them, and they are happy to do it, but this time......

The sound of chuckling came from the door at this time, Chen Chong and Wu Junmei laughed, and walked in from the outside with some staggering, while at the same time holding Lin Fangbing, who was still a little dizzy.

Lin Fangbing was fortunate for the first time by Li Xu, he flew three times when he came up, and he was tossed enough, and climbed to the peak several times, it is already very good to be supported at this time, and he can't be compared with Chen Chong and Wu Junmei who are adapted, not to mention that it is still Li Xu's main direction tonight.

"Godfather. Chen Chong stretched out a hand to hold Li Xu's arm, and shouted sweetly, his face had already been lost.

"Godfather!" Wu Junmei did not lose the wind and grabbed his other arm, so Lin Fangbing, who was supporting, came face to face with Li Xu.

"Huh?" Lin Fangbing, who was still a little dazed, reacted for a while, but before he could speak, he was hugged by Li Xu and pressed against the cold wall.

"Don't ......," she reluctantly said, but to no avail.

Immediately all sorts of sounds rang out in the bathroom again, accompanied by the rattling of water, and the second battle of the night began, and it was very effective to use the flesh to forget the troubles for a short time.

The next day, Li Xu didn't go to ask Mary, although he knew her address, but now he still hangs it first.

Anyway, "Children of God" is still in the works, and it would be nice to communicate through a letter first - well, at least that's what he thinks.

So Li Xu went to Cameron.

"No problem, I'll start preparing right away. Cameron rubbed his hands and said excitedly, of course, he didn't forget to complain to him: "If you had decided like this earlier, we would have been able to do it last month." ”

"It's always hard to make choices. Li Xu gave him a blank look.

"Okay, do you have an actor?" said Cameron, knowingly.

"Since it's Sherlock Holmes, of course the British will play the ......," Li Xu said as the donkey went downhill.

came to Cameron, naturally to discuss the preparation of "Sherlock Holmes in 2015", and the screenwriters' scripts finally passed here with Li Xu.

But to say that he is satisfied, it is impossible, despite his serious guidance, there are still many bugs.

First, as I said before, it is almost impossible for people in this era to carefully imagine the life and even crime in society 30 years later, and add many details; second, his requirements for the script are too perfect, and he always wants people to find thorns, so he has never been able to pass.

This went on until Cameron couldn't take it anymore.

"There is no story without bugs, there is more than one way to immerse the audience in the movie, the movie is the art of light and shadow!" he almost roared, "and the shots and the picture and the soundtrack and so on and so forth!"

Then Li Xu suddenly realized that he smashed a fist in the palm of his hand: "That's right!"

Cameron almost had a crooked nose, you've made a lot of movies, and you didn't even notice this, what the hell was going on in your head!

Li Xu can't be blamed for this, the so-called dark under the light refers to this situation, focusing too much on one thing, so as to ignore other things, even if this thing is obvious.

It's true that the story is important, and a good story is especially important, but it's definitely not just because of the story that a movie can attract audiences and make them pay for tickets to get in.

The simplest example, the first part of "Independence Day", just looking at the story, must be full of loopholes, a computer virus can disable aliens' computers, has been ridiculed for decades.

However, even so, when viewers talk about the film decades later and complain about computer viruses, they will remember the bombing of the White House, the phrase "Welcome to Earth" by Will Smith, and the president's Independence Day speech.

The charm of a movie is definitely not limited to a good story, any result is formed by the interweaving of various factors, but the proportion of some factors is significant, and the proportion of some factors is small.

To give another example, 30 years later, in the mainland, the film industry is dancing wildly, and all kinds of bad movies are emerging one after another, the reason, many people - especially filmmakers - say that it is because the audience likes to watch bad movies.

And there are reasonable grounds, for example, the popularization of smart phones and the development of the Internet, coupled with the success of economic development has led to an increase in per capita consumption levels, so hundreds of millions of ordinary people with low quality have entered the network and become the target of capital.

They don't care about bad movies, they only chase what they want, such as the face of a certain star, and they are willing to pay for it, naturally, capital will choose to please them, and make bad movies they need in batches.

After all, capital can trample on all laws for 200% profits, and those high-quality and tasteful netizens who first went online, or evolved from Xiaobai to Laobai, sorry, you are a minority, and you are not in the scope of capital's consideration.

Therefore, unless one day the vast majority of audiences no longer pay for bad movies and collectively boycott bad movies, Chinese films can be saved.

It sounds like that, but the urine nature of capital is clear to people who have received systematic education on the mainland.

However, if it is such a flower, then the question is, where is the reason why ordinary people are not of high quality and like to watch bad movies?

Second, the audience's aesthetic standard is not high, and they like to watch bad movies, is that the reason why your director and producer make bad movies?

It is true that capital definitely hopes to exchange the smallest cost for the maximum profit, but as a filmmaker with ideals and morals, and who is distressed about the environment, shouldn't he stick to his beliefs within the scope of his ability, not take the box office as the winner or loser, and shoulder the responsibility of education?

Or do they think that they who are cultural people, full of superiority, and look down on the audience, are actually profit-seekers who are stained with copper stench?

Even the capitalists TM have so many conscientious people - although the proportion is pitifully small - but a group of Chinese filmmakers always push the blame away, do they still want to be embarrassed?

There is no doubt that there are so many bad movies, and the audience is responsible, the market is responsible, and the system is responsible, but filmmakers are not responsible? What's more, who is transmitting information? Who is instilling information? Who is guiding information? Who is blocking information?

Follow the capital to make money, turn around and accuse the audience who passively accepts information, the audience with the lowest responsibility, the aesthetic is too bad, and the lower limit is lowered, and there must be a limit to shamelessness, right? Even Hollywood doesn't dare to say such things.

But then again, it's always easier to dump garbage on someone else's head than to blame others before yourself, and as a cultural person, it's better than mud...... Ordinary people are not superior.

Okay, it's far away, these have nothing to do with Li Xu, all he has to do now is to select actors for the preparation of "Sherlock Holmes in 2015".

"Jeremy Irons," Li Xu said, a name, "I watched 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' and thought he was good.'" ”

This is pure nonsense, the reason why he chose Jeremy Irons is entirely because he saw a blow in his previous life, saying that this guy crushed De Niro and Pacino in terms of acting skills, so even if the most impressive is the housekeeper Ah Fu in "Super Bat War", Li Xu still wants to see him.

"One is not enough. Cameron reminded.

"Alright, Ian? McLean alternates. Li Xu shrugged, Gandalf played Sherlock Holmes, although it is a version of Alzheimer's, which is just used as an alternative.

Others, Richard Harris and Michael Gamben can also be used as substitutes, and Christopher Lee is better off playing those weird roles.

"What about Watson?" Cameron continued.

"You have to think about this, you can find someone to audition," Li Xu waved his hand, "In addition, it's just the same name and surname, not a female version of Watson." ”

"Almost. Cameron shrugged his shoulders this time, "Female murdered landlord?"

"I'm going to be Chinese. Li Xu thought for a moment.

"Why?" Cameron wondered.

"Because America is a melting pot of nationalities, all people should live together equally and freely," Li Xu grinned, "so the policeman who pestered him must be black." ”
