Li Xiaole didn't really understand Wei Desheng's intention to do this before, but when he became a director, he felt that he had to do this to build the atmosphere of the film, just like in "Schindler's List", Spielberg invited 30,000 extras, most of whom were real Jews, not only the child actors were all descendants of "Schindler's Jews", but the actors who played the survivors were also Catholic Poles.
Frankly speaking, in Li Xiaole's current view, most of the non-professional actors in the original version of "Sydek Balai" are not badly filmed, and they can even be said to be excellent.
However, it is not without shortcomings to say that there are ...... There is a very weak link in the actors...... That is the actor Lin Qingtai who plays the protagonist of Mona Ludao......
This Taiwanese aboriginal has no acting experience at all, he is a hunter and priest himself, although his demeanor is very murderous like Mona, and he has both god and form, but the expression of inner drama is almost zero, which also causes the audience to convey a somewhat distorted feeling of this film, and when it is released in mainland China and Europe, audiences who are not familiar with Mona Ludau's background will think that he is a barbarian rather than a hero.
In this kind of documentary film, the so-called hero is the most difficult to play, because different civilizations, different people, have different perceptions of heroes, and if you want to be recognized by the mainland and even more people, you need an actor who everyone agrees with, which is not only from a commercial point of view, but also from an artistic point of view, great characters need great actors.
The rest of the actors can use the original, and Mona Ludo has to be replaced, but the question is, who can do it? A burly god of war, savage and courageous, with murderous and persistent eyes shining with the wisdom of a leader......
Li Xiaole was soaking in the bathtub while thinking about this problem, let go of the water when it was cold, and continue to put new hot water, I don't know how long I thought about it while lying in the bathtub......
The first thing he thought of was Sun Honglei, Sun Honglei's temperament is more evil, if he works hard, he should not be worse than Lin Qingtai, Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest" has proved that he has this ability, but Sun Honglei is just in his early 30s, and the thickness of his heart may not be able to interpret the middle-aged Mona Ludao's kind of depressed heaviness in the war, as well as the kind of inheritance and conservative temperament, he played Sun Bin in "Warring States", which shows that his heart is too modern, completely inconsistent with the old spirit.
Zhou Yanfa, although his acting skills are unparalleled, but his double eyelids and big eyes make his eyes too gentle, unable to show that direct killing intent, thinking of this, Li Xiaole depressedly patted the water surface with his hand, and the ripples on the water surface blurred, as if reflecting the faces of the imaginary actors in his mind.
Among the actors who are willing to play...... Chen Daoming is good, he is very experienced in playing old-fashioned characters, but his appearance is too thin, and his way of speaking is too uniform and not very shapely, these are fatal injuries......
Wang Zhiwen and Liu Dekai are extremely inappropriate in appearance, which can be ruled out directly, and the age limit allows the new generation of actors not to be considered, so that the mainland and Taiwanese actors in this list have no play, how about the Hong Kong actors, Huang Qiusheng and Huang Rihua are also on the list......
Huang Qiusheng...... He seems to be very suitable, his age, figure, and acting skills can barely control this role, Li Xiaole looked at Huang Qiusheng's face in the ripples on the water, but unconsciously wrinkled, this actor who strongly asked to cooperate with him at the Golden Horse Awards, has a mixed-race face outline, a high nose and wide eyes, and a slightly fat figure, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an aboriginal god of war like Mona Ludao.
As for Huang Rihua...... His acting skills are very good, very good, Li Xiaole grew up watching the play of this big actor of Hong Kong TVB, Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, and Xuzhu portrayed by Huang Rihua are so good that they are indescribable, he is the kind of person who is naturally heroic, the only pity is that he feels too righteous and righteous, and there is no such wild primitive sense in his eyes......
It seems that the water in the bathtub has been changed 7 or 8 times, and Li Xiaole has not found a suitable ...... from this list This confused mood made him a little irritable, he couldn't put too much thought into the actors, after all, there were still many problems to solve on Jishu.
At this time, the mobile phone placed on the head of the bathtub suddenly rang, and An Zaixu's warm singing ringtone made Li Xiaole's irritable mood a lot calmer.
"Hey, who's that?" The bathroom was full of fog, and Li Xiaole couldn't see the phone screen, so he asked directly.
"I~old ginger~ what are you doing?"
There was a penetrating deep voice from the mobile phone, Li Xiaole's heart jumped immediately, he had been waiting for this call, and finally came, he couldn't ask for it, he could only come if he was willing to come.
"What about taking a bath, Mr. Jiang, have you been drinking?" Li Xiaole heard Jiang Wen have a big tongue and asked curiously.
"Well, drink a little, by the way, I've been thinking these days, why didn't I win a Best Actor Award outside the mainland? Xiaole, you say, can I win a Golden Horse Award or something with my piece of material? Jiang Wen asked in an octave raised his voice on the other end, sounding a little excited.
"Of course it should." Li Xiaole replied affirmatively, he knew what Jiang Wen was angry about, this above-eyed teacher Jiang He has been an actor for so many years, but he has only won awards in the mainland, and "Let the Bullets Fly" is one of Jiang Wen's most proud performance masterpieces, but he still returned home at the Golden Horse Awards, and on the latest news he got, "Let the Bullets Fly" was shortlisted for 7 Hong Kong Film Awards, but there is no Best Director, Best Actor, all of them are Jishu type awards, which means that Jiang Wen has no drama again.
I don't know if this is the Academy Awards Organizing Committee to make up for the disappointment of Hong Kong films at the Golden Horse Awards, but for Jiang Wen, the mood must be quite uncomfortable, think about it, he acted so well, and there was an unprecedented triangular drama, he was disappointed in the two major Chinese awards, which is probably very incomprehensible for an arrogant actor like him.
"You think so, don't you?" Jiang Wen's voice on the other end calmed down a little, and he still said with a drunken atmosphere: "Xiaole, we are brothers, I don't force you to promise me anything, but I want to tell you, if you make a movie with a Taiwan or Hong Kong theme, you must let me star in it, let me fucking win a few Golden Horses, play with the Academy Awards, and prove to them, my old Jiang Xing!" Not only in the mainland, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan! ”
Although Li Xiaole didn't see Jiang Wen, but now he can imagine Jiang Wen pointing his thumbs at his domineering expression, what kind of person is Jiang Wen, he is not drunk at all, he just wants to star in "Saidek Balai", challenge this type of drama that he has never challenged, the purpose is very simple, as a top actor, he wants to win awards like all people, even idols like Liu Dehua have won awards, he Jiang Wen has not won it, this can't be said!
"Mr. Jiang, let me tell you the truth, my new play "Saidek Balai" has indeed not yet decided on the protagonist......" Li Xiaole was only halfway through his words, Jiang Wen rushed to say: "Then I'll come, what's the problem, I must help with this!"
Li Xiaole is funny when he listens to it, Jiang Wen is Jiang Wen is obviously what he wants to do, and he still looks like he is cheap to others, but he is really happy that Jiang Wen can say this at this time, the problem now is that the role of this Mona is quite difficult to play, even if Jiang Wen plays it, it is the same, because the aboriginal tribal culture is very special, and Jiang Wen can't make Jiang Wen feel that he can easily play it.
"I'm afraid this is a little difficult, the role of Mona Ludao has to speak tribal language and Japanese, and it will take some time to train the body and demeanor, Mr. Jiang is nothing else, I'm really afraid that your energy can't keep up~ I taught the aboriginal training to that director Wei Desheng, I definitely can't stand his stinky temper......" Li Xiaole can Jiang Wen take a preventive shot, of course, he is actually provoking Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen's temper is, the more you say that he can't do it, the more he will do it, which proves that you underestimate him.
"Eh, how can I listen to your tone, I seem to be very unprofessional as an actor? Am I not professional? Am I going to make things difficult for the director? Is my old ginger such a person? Jiang Wen asked strangely on the other end of the phone.
Of course, that's the kind of person you are...... Li Xiaole nodded violently in his heart, and on the surface, he still had to put a high hat on Jiang Wen: "Of course you are not such a person, but after all, you are making a Taiwanese film, and I have to listen to Director Wei for many opinions, he is a newcomer, I am afraid that you will be wronged more." He pressed the phone's record button.
"It's all trivial, trivial, and I can promise you not to trouble him...... That's what my old Jiang said. Jiang Wen swore that he was authentic.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaole held his mobile phone in the bathtub and recorded this conversation, Jiang Wen regretted it, and after carefully setting it to his own ringtone, he didn't know how refreshing he was, and threw the water to the ceiling with his hand, and sang "My Sun" loudly in the bathroom: "Ah~~ What a brilliant sunshine ~ The sky is amorous after the storm passes~ The sober air makes people feel refreshed~~"
Outside the door, Lei Ting was wearing Wei Desheng and entering the door, and Lei Ting was instructing Wei Desheng who was wearing glasses: "You remember, Director Li is not used to being disturbed when he is conceiving, he likes to be quiet...... Take your steps lightly. As a newcomer, Wei Desheng nodded honestly, at this time, the two suddenly heard Li Xiaole's high-pitched singing voice coming from the bathroom, Wei Desheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately blushed as much as possible to keep himself from laughing, Lei Ting turned her head and looked at the bathroom resentfully, muttering with some embarrassment:
"This little bastard...... What's his nerve...... How this is pleased. ”
Li Xiaole didn't really understand Wei Desheng's intention to do this before, but when he became a director, he felt that he had to do this to build the atmosphere of the film, just like in "Schindler's List", Spielberg invited 30,000 extras, most of whom were real Jews, not only the child actors were all descendants of "Schindler's Jews", but the actors who played the survivors were also Catholic Poles.
