Chapter 827 Scene 827 Arrogant couple
With Li Xiaole's announcement, the top actors from the United States and the United Kingdom who had cooperated with Black Pearl appeared one by one, and the audience couldn't help but exclaim: "My God~~ Tom Cruise, actually came to dub others?" ”
"I read that right, that's Ian McKellen...... Is Gandalf going to dub Chinese actors, isn't that true? ”
The jaws of reporters and celebrities in the audience were about to drop to the ground, and James Murdoch, executive chairman of News Corp., also raised his eyebrows for the first time, and his mouth opened slightly.
Of course, the most surprising thing was Zeng Zhiwei, Liang Chaowei, the actors of "Shooting the Condor", they didn't expect Li Xiaole to invite Hollywood stars to dub them, it turned out to be true...... Not only is it true, but even this lineup is simply stronger than the starring lineup of any movie.
As long as the price is sufficient, Hollywood's first-line stars are also willing to join, such as the previous box office hit "Kung Fu Panda", which is enough to prove that it invited stars such as Angelina Jolie and Cheng Long...... But compared with the 3D version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this time, the dubbing lineup of "Kung Fu Panda" is purely pediatric.
Moreover, these stars can not be found just by paying money, you must know that in Hollywood, many stars cherish their feathers very much, not because they like to serve as stars, but because Hollywood's actors' salaries are based on the attendance rate of the works performed by actors in the past three years, and the ratings are averaged, which is a strict data-based formula, no one wants to play a supporting role for anyone else......
Even if celebrities even dub, they will only dub virtual characters in cartoons, and if they dub actors from other countries, this is a very expensive move.
But this time, Li Xiaole not only found almost all the top European and American actors who have worked with him, but also unprecedentedly recruited "Magneto" Ian McKellen to join the dubbing lineup, because he felt that the elegant lines in Jin Yong's original work, which were slightly in Chinese, must be used as a real British stage play hard-based actor in order to use the same classical and beautiful old-fashioned English to match the feeling.
Fred, the president of the British Drama Council, stood backstage with a cane with a serious face, and waved to Li Xiaole...... After "Life of Pi" and "Sherlock", the influence of the Drama Council in the British film and television industry has reached an unprecedented level.
On the American side, Tom Cruise, George Clooney are Black Pearl's own people, Johnson Scarlett, Andrew Lincoln, and Matthew Perry are all Li Xiaole's old partners, and this unprecedented dubbing lineup, I'm afraid only Li Xiaole can summon it.
Everyone's minds suddenly fell into a kind of confusion, a series starring a group of unknown Hong Kong actors, but a group of Hollywood A-listers served as voices...... It's just a drama, that's too exaggerated...... Everyone sighed in their hearts about Li Xiaole's huge energy, and at the same time, they felt that he was too ridiculous.
The Chinese fans in the audience are screaming again and again: "Great~ This English version can finally be watched well, last time "Hero" was simply a translation disaster, such a good movie, I almost fell asleep watching the English version~" "Ha~! This time, I must buy a bilingual DVD version of the collection~! ”
But the reporters on various TV stations looked at each other and discussed with each other very dissatisfied: "This Li Xiaole is trying to promote his drama series and use Hollywood first-line actors as a foil, he is really cunning." "This guy is completely using his influence to grandstand!"
Li Xiaole picked up the microphone and calmly looked at the commotion below, and began to explain why he did this:
"You must be very confused why I want to find so many top actors as the dubbing of a TV series, in fact, the reason is very simple, because I think that there is no language in this world that has as powerful and deep as Chinese, English is too simple, it is easy to lose the original meaning as soon as it is translated, if you want to make up for this, you can only find the best actors in English in this world, and now the actors standing in front of you are the most top-notch actors in English, only their dubbing is worthy of our " The Chinese actors of "Shooting the Condor", and only the actors of "Shooting the Condor" have such a luxurious dubbing lineup. ”
This is Li Xiaole's heartfelt words, but everyone in the audience was stunned when they heard it, even Zeng Zhiwei and they felt that Li Xiaole's boasting was a bit overwhelming...... Even Cheng Long, who admired Li Xiaole very much, couldn't help frowning and muttered softly: "It's too much." Although these Hong Kong actors are all Asian stars, they are still more than one notch worse than those of world-class stars like Tom Cruise......
Of course, the starring roles of this drama are Li Xiaole and Ha Ji Won, which sounds like he is just boasting about himself.
The skeptical reaction of the reporters in the audience was okay with others, but Ha Ji Won felt very uncomfortable, in everyone's opinion, Li Xiaole seemed to be doing such a big move in order to achieve herself, as the representative of the actor this time, she should have said: "Thank you for your support, we will work hard to create works that will not disappoint everyone." But at this moment, she clearly felt that there was a huge ridicule and disdain in the entire Chinese theater, and they all swept towards Li Xiaole beside her, and the original "thanks" she wanted to say was indescribable no matter what.
She was originally a straightforward girl, and she has never been good at hiding her emotions, and when she was in China, she suppressed her personality in daily life because she had to take care of the development of a company, but once she returned to the position of an actress, she returned to the daring Ha Ji Won.
I saw her pick up the microphone and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I believe that if Director Li wants to shoot a top-notch drama, it seems more suitable to use this set of actors in the dubbing lineup, right?" ”
When Ha Ji Won said this, just when everyone thought he was going to be modest, she suddenly announced with a bright smile: "But I want to tell you that whether it is the Hong Kong old-timers here, or myself and Mr. Li Xiaole, they are the most suitable and best actors in this series." ”
As soon as he said this, not to mention the people in the audience, even Li Xiaole next to him was stunned......
At this time, all the reporters immediately turned their guns and turned their hostile and angry eyes on Ha Ji Yuan, Li Xiaole instantly felt that the invisible pressure on his body was much less, and when he turned his head, he saw He Ji Yuan smiling at him, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart, this girl is doing this to help him get a gun.
After the actor's brief speech, it was time for reporters to ask questions, and reporters from all over the United States couldn't wait to raise their hands.
Cheng Long, according to his own habits, pointed out a beautiful white female reporter from Fox TV, and as soon as the female reporter stood up, she aimed her artillery at Ha Ji Won:
"I'm sorry, Miss Ha Ji Won, can I take the liberty of asking?"
"Absolutely." Ha Ji Won raised his hand with a smile, and said indifferently.
"I've read the information, the Hong Kong actors who participated in this series are all very influential veteran actors in China, and they are very powerful, and even director Li Xiaole himself has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor." The white female reporter with her head held high asked very directly:
"But Miss Ha Ji Won, you are neither Chinese nor have you won any actor awards, why did Li Xiaole choose you as the heroine of this series?"
This question is obviously aimed at Ha Ji Won, in any case, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a remake of a classic Hong Kong drama, no matter what the result is, it is also said that the use of an all-Hong Kong cast is in the past, but it is very abrupt to install a Korean actress here.
When Ha Ji Won heard this very provocative question, he did not blush and be embarrassed as the American reporter expected, or was annoyed and angry, but still maintained that charming posture with a smile, and said in a very gentle tone:
"This reporter, I don't think you have done enough homework, first of all, although I am not a Chinese, but I have lived in China for 7 years, I know more about Chinese culture than you can imagine, secondly, you said that I don't have an actor award, then it is really your mistake, I won the Big Bell Award, the Blue Dragon Award, and two awards three years ago with a "The Girl We Chased in Those Years...... Of course, if you think that the Korean jackpot is not a prize, I have nothing to say. ”
Speaking of this, Ha Ji Won looked at all the reporters in the audience with a smile and said slowly: "I think at my age, I am afraid that there will be no better actress in Asia than me, I think this is the reason why director Li Xiaole chose me." ”
Wow...... The reporters in the audience were speechless, Li Xiaole was already arrogant enough, but he didn't expect that the lady who successfully proposed to him would be even more high-profile than him...... That's too self-aggrandizing, isn't it...... Among the Asian actors who have always been introverted, only China's Liu Xiaoqing has said something similar......
At this time, the atmosphere of interviews in various American media has begun to change, and everyone who is hostile has slowly turned into anger from a relatively serious atmosphere at the beginning, because Li Xiaole's use of Hollywood stars as the voice of Chinese actors is already a suspicion of insulting Hollywood, and the Korean actress claims to be "the best actress in Asia", which is really too shameful.
