Chapter 380: Li Yang is looking for it
Hearing Ang Lee's question, Lu Deshuang frowned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The problem of actors has always been Lu Deshuang's heart disease, because the big-name actors who have become famous in Hollywood have almost been replaced by the three major Hollywood agencies CAA-Innovative Artist Agency, WMA-William? Morris Agency and ICM, the International Innovation Management Company, signed them, and even those third-tier actors were divided among other Hollywood agencies.
The cake has been carved up, but Lu Deshuang entered at this time, since they are artists who can't sign a contract, most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, and even some third-tier stars who have only played small supporting roles, in the face of Lu Deshuang's invitation, they can directly shake their faces, and you can see how miserable Lu Deshuang's agency in the United States is.
If you are an ordinary person, it is estimated that you are desperate at this time, but Lu Deshuang is not an ordinary person, he is a reborn.
Since you can't sign an actor who is already famous, it's a big deal that you haven't signed a contract and haven't become famous or debuted, and you will definitely be an artist who will become popular in the future.
No, in the list of actors given to Ang Lee, there are several artists signed by Lu Deshuang in person.
"Director Li, don't you like any of the actors on this list?"
Although Ang Lee understands Lu Deshuang's idea of wanting to use his own people, his movies will definitely not compromise, not to mention that he still has to play against an actor like Zhang Guorong who plays in his true colors, he has no strength, and he will definitely mess up the role, which is not what he wants to see.
"Mr. Lu, to be honest, in your list, Chris Evans and Henry Cavill are a little popular, and I haven't heard of anyone else, and I can't judge actors I'm not familiar with."
Ang Lee said this, but still saved enough face for Lu Deshuang, you must know that the two people mentioned by Ang Lee, the former is Captain America, and the latter is a superman with a body of steel, neither of these two people will be actors who rely on acting skills in the future, and they have almost no awards to prove their strength.
If it weren't for seeing the experience of acting in movies on the resumes of the two, Ang Lee would have wondered if Lu Deshuang was playing tricks on him by giving him this roster?
Lu Deshuang can naturally hear Ang Lee's words, most of the artists who asked him to sign are post-80s, and when they really become famous, it will be a few years later, and now they, whether it is acting skills or experience, are indeed not enough to provoke the movie "Brokeback Mountain".
However, Lu Deshuang was not reconciled, after all, he knew that this movie could bring fame, even if he was just nominated, it was enough to make the actors who starred in this movie famous, and what American agencies lack now is fame.
After all, no artist would be willing to sign a contract with a brokerage company that is not famous at all, and even the owner of this company is still a Chinese, which makes it even more difficult, which is why Lu Deshuang is in a hurry to become famous, knowing that the artists in the company do not have the conditions to star in "Brokeback Mountain", he still handed over this list to Ang Lee, just with a trace of luck.
"Director Li, after all, "Brokeback Mountain" is a gay movie, not all actors have the courage to act, do you think how about this, give my company's artists a chance to audition, if you are still not satisfied, let's send out an invitation again, after all, it will take a while for you to revise the script, right?"
Someone wants to ask, knowing that Ang Lee doesn't like Lu Deshuang's artists, why do you still add snakes and do some auditions, isn't this an extra move?
No, it's definitely not an overkill, let alone a superfluous move.
You must know that it has been two years since the establishment of the American brokerage branch, but in the first year, the artists in the company are very good, they can be counted on two hands, and most of them are Chinese and black, and there are almost no whites.
Among these artists, except for Li Bingbing, Chu Qing, and Wu Jing brought out by Lu Deshuang from China, the other black actors are all the kind of actors who run the show outside the eighteenth line, why do you want to sign these wastes, who makes Hollywood movies have a rule, that is, there must be black people in every movie.
It wasn't until the release of "The Hunger Games" that this situation changed, and they became famous, and potential actors like Chris Evans and Henry Cavill, who would definitely become famous in the future, also joined at this time.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many people are going to be confused, and this matter has something to do with the audition you said?
Indeed, it seems that it doesn't matter at all, but when "Brokeback Mountain" won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, received eight nominations at the 78th Academy Awards, and won three awards for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Score.
The arrangement of auditions is effective.
You see, "Brokeback Mountain" is an excellent movie, it's not that I don't arrange roles for you, I also want to leave the roles to my own people, after all, fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, but who let you not fight for yourself, and missed this opportunity in vain.
In this way, the artists in the company not only will not blame and blame Lu Deshuang, after all, Lu Deshuang has already done what a boss should do, and even more look forward to the next audition.
After all, the Academy Awards, this is the palace that all actors who come to Hollywood to develop and dream of.
Of course, the reason why the audition is arranged is not only for the above reasons, but also because I want to use Ang Lee to motivate the artist's self-motivation, and I can also invite some excellent independent actors to audition, maybe I can dig up a few future stars among these actors.
This kind of face, Ang Lee will still give it, after all, his current situation is not very good, anyway, he will have to audition when the time comes, a few more artists from Lu Deshuang's company is nothing, if the actors under Lu Deshuang really have one that meets his heart, then everyone is happy, isn't it?
"Boss, Director Li Yang is looking for you!"
Hearing the name Li Yang, Lu Deshuang couldn't help frowning, and Li An also achieved his goal, and it was time to go back and think about the revision of "Brokeback Mountain", so he stood up and said, "Then I won't bother Mr. Lu, and I will leave first." ”
Lu Deshuang reacted, also stood up and shook hands with Ang Lee, and said with a smile: "If Director Li has any problems with "Brokeback Mountain" in the future, you can call me at any time, Liu Dong, send Ang Lee out for me, and let Li Yang come in by the way." ”
For Li Yang, Lu Deshuang is still very optimistic, you must know that his debut film "Blind Well", which won the Silver Bear Award for Best Artistic Contribution at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival, the Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Film Critic, and Most Popular Audience at the 5th Deauville Asian Film Festival in France, and the Best Feature Film Award at the 2nd New York Tribeca Film Festival.
In 2003, he won the Best Film and Literature Award at the Dutch Coastal Film Festival, the Best Director and Best Screenplay Award at the Serbian Film Festival, the Best Film Award at the Belgian International Film Festival, the Best Director Award at the Bratislava International Film Festival, the Silver Firebird Award at the 27th Hong Kong International Film Festival, the Outstanding Film Award at the 57th Edinburgh International Film Festival, the Best Screenplay and Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horse International Film Festival, and the Jury Award at the Belgen International Film Festival in Norway.
In the 2003 world's top ten films selected by the French magazine "Cinéma", "The Blind Well" ranked second!
It's just that Li Yang is a dead brain, after filming "Blind Well" in his previous life, he began to shoot the second part of the blind series "Blind Mountain" of human trafficking, but in this life because of Lu Deshuang's intervention, there have been changes, but the movie he wants to shoot is not much better than "Blind Mountain".
actually wants to adapt a real case that has caused a lot of uproar this year and caused discussion from all walks of life into a movie.
PS: I watched a movie today, I recommend everyone to watch it, "Train to Busan", which is pretty good. (To be continued.) )
