Looking at the three actors with wide eyes, the only one the reporters recognized was Emma Watson, and the other two Indian faces were very unfamiliar? The people below were all talking to each other: "Phil, do you know these two actors?" Is it an actor of Indian descent from the United States or the United Kingdom? ”

"I haven't seen it...... What did he just say, what was he going to shoot? ”

"What kind of fantasy drifting of Pi of Pi...... Haven't you heard of this script, is it a fantasy theme? ”

"I don't know...... Hey, do any of you know the way? The reporters shook their heads.

In front of the TV, Cork was yelling at Canon: "Hurry~! Fast~!! Go check this script!! Let's see what exactly it's about!? ”

Countless fans who paid attention to this press conference were also confused, they originally thought that Li Xiaole would come up with a killer movie, but they didn't expect it to be a story that they had never heard at all.

Whether it is a reporter or a person in front of the TV, everyone's first reaction is to take out their mobile phones or computers, log on to the Internet Wikipedia website, and check the relevant information of this story, and after seeing the synopsis of the original novel, everyone was stunned, Wikipedia described the film in a very simple sentence......

"The story is about a 16-year-old Indian teenager Pi who drifted with a Bengal tiger for 227 days to survive at sea......"

What do you mean? Is this a one-man drifting story? In other words, a one-act play by an actor!? The trump card that Black Pearl finally came up with turned out to be a one-act movie? Oh, my God?

After the reporters at the scene checked the information, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

"Yes, I think you've all learned through various channels, this movie is based on the novel of the same name, and more than two-thirds of the plot in the play is done by a single actor independently." Li Xiaole looked at the suspicious faces in the audience, and made Sura Shama, who was nervously stiff, stand up and introduced to hundreds of reporters in the audience:

"We searched all over India to find a boy whose innocence would appeal to us, whose depth would break our hearts, and whose physique would interpret the pie of the drift. At the audition, the Mr. Sura Shama in front of you exudes a lot of emotion, and most of them are conveyed through the eyes. His ability to believe in and be in the world of the story is very valuable, so we chose him......"

In this month's time, Li Xiaole, who was silent in the outside world, was not idle, he went to India for the first time, held a grand casting event in the name of Bollywood, and privately found the original starring Sura Shama, he was only a 15-year-old high school student at this time, and he didn't plan to participate in this audition at all, but Li Xiaole strongly recommended him to audition, and finally selected him.

is not so much an actor in the audition, in Sula Shama's own eyes, he is like the Phoenix Girl discovered by Magneto and Dr. X in "X-Men", who was directly selected by Li Xiaole.

At the same time as the interview, Li Xiaole also built a 70-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep 1,700-gallon water tank, the world's largest fully automatic wave device tank near several fields in Mumbai. This sink allowed the crew to create all kinds of water waves, and after the casting ended, this sink almost became the home of Sula Shama and Li Xiaole.

Now this teenager, who couldn't even swim, has been training in the water for more than 20 days.

When everyone found out that this thin and shy Indian teenager turned out to be the main actor of this movie, they all looked at the people next to each other, and everyone had a crying and laughing expression in their eyes, and a reporter from ABC TV reacted the fastest, and couldn't help but raise his hand and ask: "May I ask Director Li, is this Mr. Sura Shama an Indian-British actor?" ”

Li Xiaole has always had the ability to discern pearls, and can discover those unfamous young actors, Benedict Cumberbatch is the best example, or this kid with an Indian face is not necessarily a top student of the British Drama Academy, Dave Patel, the star of "Slumdog Millionaire" selected by Li Xiaole before, is a young acting genius at Whitemore Drama High School in London.

"No, Sura Sharma is just an ordinary high school student in India, and she has not had any training as an actor before this." Li Xiaole replied calmly.

As soon as this sentence was said, some unbelievable expressions immediately appeared on the faces of all reporters...... The one-act film is an ancient type of drama, which has been all the rage in many stage plays, such as "King Lear", because most of the time there is only one actor to perform, and there is only one possibility for the audience to stare at the actor in the monotonous plot - that is, to invite a superstar who is liked and recognized by all audiences.

Throughout the history of cinema, there has only been one successful one-act play, and that is 2001's "Desert Island", which was made by Robert Zemeckis, the director of the great Forrest Gump, and the legendary Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, the Oscar-winning actor, to finally achieve this great and outstanding one-act film in which Tom Hanks was seen performing alone two-thirds of the time.

When everyone checked the content of "Life of Pi", the first reaction was that Li Xiaole wanted to recreate the glory of "The Rest of the Desert Island" and make a box office bomb with the soul of an art film.

But he actually used an ordinary person with no experience at all as the starring role? This reporter named Sura Shama looked at himself tremblingly, his face turned pale, as if he would faint at any moment, is his virtue, he wants to be compared with Tom Hanks? What kind of kidding is this!?

Many reporters couldn't help laughing, a very serious press conference, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed, Li Xiaole talked for a long time, and declared war on the Big Six, and was ambitious to join the Christmas schedule war at the end of the year, and as a result, he came up with such an inexplicable art film? Or starring passers-by......

Looking at the group of reporters below talking about it, Li Xiaole can read a lot of things from the eyes of these reporters, some are surprised, some are disdainful, some are suspicious, and some are ...... Gloat.

He couldn't help but squeeze the shoulders of Sura Shama, who was pale with fright, and piled him up in front of the camera: "I know that when I announce this new movie, you will have a lot of ideas, maybe you will think I'm crazy, but it doesn't matter, you will soon know that this movie will be my best work, I think Hollywood has been lacking a film that really combines box office and art in recent years, I believe I will change this situation, and Mr. Sura Shama joins the film industry, It will be an honor for all of Hollywood. ”

Looking at the stunned people below, Li Xiaole turned his face to look at the camera, as if facing the people in front of the TV who were making trouble for him behind his back, and said slowly in a deep and powerful voice:

"I once said at the previous press conference that now the six high-level leaders have long lost the courage and temperament that filmmakers should have, and they have become full of copper smells, in addition to eating their old books, they will only make some bad movies that make quick money, and they don't have the courage to take risks......

I know that you are watching TV, I know that you have laughed behind my back, I am not filming "Iron Man", "Hulk" This kind of old-fashioned superhero theme, but now I can tell you that we Black Pearl dare to make art films, we dare to open up new themes at any cost~~!!

Whether you doubt it or not~ ridicule it~ give me obediently put away your little actions and shut up! Obediently put your ass on the sofa, watch us challenge the movies you dare not challenge, and watch us conquer the movie world you are afraid of~"

Li Xiaole's **** and vicious words spread all over the world with the live broadcast signal of Pirate TV, and all the people watching the live broadcast couldn't help but be stunned in surprise......

Looking at the TV, looking at Li Xiaole's gloomy expression and glaring at him, Cork hatefully raised his hand to "bang" the coffee cup in his hand and slammed it on the coffee table in front of him, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "This lifeless little bastard!" Before he died, he tried to pull us into the water. ”

"I think this guy is really at the end of his rope...... It's trying to portray yourself as a tragic hero. Canon next to him touched his beard and said with a relaxed smile, he really scared them to death just now, and thought that Li Xiaole had come up with some ace movie, which turned out to be a one-act play of pure art? Or is it played by someone who has never acted at all?

This is no longer a question of victory or defeat, but Li Xiaole is planning how to close the stall in Hollywood with a tragic attitude, he wants to do a crisis public relations, and win the favor of industry insiders in the future, reverse the image of the Black Pearl Company, and sell it at a good price before the company collapses.

Today, his press conference was very lively, and the publicity effect was extraordinary, and he once again succeeded in whitewashing the image of the Black Pearl Company as a "plagiarist" and portraying himself as a pioneer of reform who was "persecuted by the forces of tradition." ”

Although he couldn't save the fate of the collapse of the Black Pearl, he once again raised his prestige to a higher level, and even if he failed, he would become a lone hero in the eyes of the world......

"No matter what tricks he plays, his bad movie can't save the Black Pearl Company." Cork let out a heavy snort from his nose and sneered: "People like him shouldn't make movies at all, if he elects the president of the United States, the next White House will change owners." ”

Canon also laughed "hehe" when he heard this, and the depression in their hearts had completely disappeared, because Li Xiaole had already disarmed and surrendered, and everything was under their control.
