Chapter 690 Scene 690 Nicknamed Li Jesus
At the same time, Todd Hardy, who was in a small office, was holding his chin and disappointed at Li Xiaole's calm face on the TV, and Warner's president Jeff Robinoff stood solemnly beside him, waiting for the major league president's orders.
"What do you think?" Todd Hardy turned to ask Jeff Robinoff.
"I feel like he's changed." Jeff Robinov looked at Li Xiaole on TV and thought for a few seconds before saying: "Although he is still a high-profile propaganda, I always feel that he has less of the kind of fighting spirit that is eager for quick success...... On the contrary, there is a sense of calmness and ease, and I think he may one day win the Oscar for Best Director......"
"You think the same as I do, just now he looked very much like the Russian madman Alexander Sokolov......" Todd Hardy lamented.
"Indeed, both of them are movie maniacs, and I guess the directors of those actors who watched this press conference will sincerely cheer for this guy......" Jeff Robinoff also nodded with a wry smile.
Alexander Sokolov may be a completely unfamiliar name in the minds of ordinary movie fans, but in the minds of directors and actors in the world, this name is equivalent to a real legend.
The Russian director, once used 850 actors in a palace in St. Petersburg to shoot a 90-minute one-shot film "Russian Ark" in a palace room of the 35th brother's palace...... It is known as a groundbreaking masterpiece in the history of cinema.
And now, a new movie maniac has appeared, Li Xiaole actually wants to make a movie with only one actor and a tiger two-thirds of the time......
Regardless of the success of this highly artistic film, Li Xiaole will become a legend in the industry like Alexander Sokolov, and conversely, even if the art film can win some international awards, if it is not impressive at the box office, the alliance of Black Pearl will also fall apart......
It would be great if Li Xiaole could join the big league simply as a director, Todd Hardy thought of this, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile and said to his subordinates: "Jeff, you can start preparing now, empty all the funds, and prepare to acquire the Black Pearl Company at the end of the year, I see that Cork is definitely ready to make some moves, and we can't let the treasure of the Black Pearl Company fall into their hands, we have to pull Li Xiaole over to your Warner." ”
"Okay, I understand~~" Jeff Robinov nodded excitedly, now that the threat of the Black Pearl is cleared, all that remains is the internal struggle of interests of the six majors, so you have to prepare early.
On the next morning, Li Xiaole's gritted teeth and fierce threat became the headline of many newspapers, almost all of which used "crazy Chinese" to describe Li Xiaole's decision...... This movie of a teenager and a tiger is more like a Disney story, maybe it's a fairy tale movie......
When the photos of Li Xiaole and the actors were on the cover of Time Magazine, fans around the world were shocked to realize that the Chinese director had really chosen an Indian film after losing "Slumdog Millionaire".
Behind him, the backdrop for him was six tigers with teeth and claws, as if they were about to pounce, the current situation of the Black Pearl Company, this photo is enough to explain everything.
With the announcement of the news, the official website of Black Pearl Company also unsealed the character information of "Life of Pi Fantasy Drifting", and the news was reprinted by major movie entertainment websites, only to see a topless Indian teenager, standing on the bow of the boat with an oar, and the stern is a Bengal tiger basking in the sun.
“yes,yes! yes!! That's great! Hearing this news, the happiest people were not Li Xiaole's fans or Black Pearl fans, but CBS's "King of the Scene" Cronkite and a group of "happy'lee" people who were excited, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, now it's okay! Finally, there's a chance to get out of the way.
15-year-old teenager Sula Sharma starred in "Youth Pi", just looking at his cowardly and naïve appearance, the seriousness of the theme of this movie suddenly dropped a few squares, he Li Xiaole does have the magical power to explore the potential of actors, but the premise is that the other party must be an actor, Li Xiaole's version of "The Rest of the Desert Island", the comparison object of its starring role is naturally Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
But in every way, this Indian kid doesn't look like a person who can be compared to Tom Hanks, how can the audience stand his one-man show?
"Life of Pi" may be a Pacific travel travelogue, enjoying the scenery and getting through the difficulties with pet tigers, and it has become a complete children's drama.
On the contrary, in the eyes of filmmakers in the whole world, Li Xiaole is an undoubted hero, the best boss of all film companies, after the collapse of DreamWorks, he is the only global film company as the director of the boss, Black Pearl Company in this crisis shows a temperament that is completely different from other companies full of copper smell, this is a real film company!!The boss of this company is a real love for movies~!
Under the cynicism of the media, the filmmakers unanimously prayed for Li Xiaole in their hearts, although it was almost impossible, but they still hoped that Li Xiaole could create a miracle again! Bring the Black Pearl Company back to life.
Genius director Quentin Tarantino even told a joke on "The Howard Stern Talk Show":
"There was a Hollywood guy who died and went to heaven, and he looked in at the gate of heaven and looked at a person riding on a crane with a video camera in his hand, and he said, 'I don't know if Li Xiaole is dead.'" St. Peter, who was next to him, told him; No, that's God, he thinks he's Li Xiaole. ’”
It sounds obviously satirical about Li Xiaole, but in fact, Quentin Tarantino is expressing his respect for Li Xiaole, and he respects this director who challenges the impossible from the bottom of his heart.
Quentin Tarantino was quoted in various reports, and soon, Li Xiaole finally had a new nickname recognized by fans in the world after the Chinese "Li Crazy" - "Li Jesus" (JESUS-lee).
This nickname has been unanimously recognized by everyone almost within a few days of its appearance, and those who like Li Xiaole think that he is a person who can save the decadent commercial film world, a tragic savior who is burdened with crosses and various persecutions and struggles to move forward, he is the Jesus of the film festival~!
And those who hate him use this nickname to ridicule his arrogance and arrogance, Ha Luha, a Chinese boy who thinks he is "Jesus". Did he think that by touching a person's head with his hand, he would be able to transform the other person into an emperor superstar? Yes, this is the power that only "Jesus" has~~
Just when everyone thought that "Life of Pi" was just an artistic fairy tale film, Li Xiaole flew to Paris with the three leading actors, and met with Dr. Bareka Papin of the French National Academy of Sciences "La Belus Oceanographic Research", and they transferred from Paris to the Air France plane and went to the port city of Bordeaux, where Li Xiaole visited and inspected the research ship "Royal Louis XIV".
They were treated to French hospitality – plenty of red wine and the captain's self-singing.
"Why are we here?" Emma Watson, dressed in a fur coat, shivered in the icy sea breeze...... She doesn't understand, isn't it a drifting one-act play? How would you need a diving research ship.
"If you don't want to, I can switch back to an actor." Li Xiaole held his mouth and didn't care about the authentic way.
"No! I won this role~! I shirked the protagonist of the stage play, and no one could snatch it away from such a small role~! Little Emma shouted loudly, in fact, in the play, her character was a middle-aged male writer looking for inspiration, and this character found a middle-aged pie and recalled the whole thing from their perspective.
However, in order to make this film more acceptable to the public, Li Xiaole must also arrange a little beauty who improves the overall temperament of the film, and it is obvious that the global audience can participate more from the perspective of an American girl.
Emma Watson's self-recommendation allowed her to finally get the role.
In fact, apart from Pi, the most important scenes are those described by Emma Watson and Indian actor Irrfan Khan, who plays the adult Pi.
These scenes are not complicated, there are no ups and downs, but they are just eloquent, the key is whether these two actors can create that real atmosphere well, it is completely dependent on the imagination of the actors themselves.
is also a shipwreck, "Titanic" hit an iceberg and collapsed, which is completely different from the shock of a small fishing boat being overturned by the waves, and before the story began, no actor knew what the shipwreck in this story was, so Li Xiaole wanted to take them to feel it today, and at the same time, he himself had to shoot a set of real underwater shots.
They didn't come to shoot out of thin air, the sunken ship in the movie has a prototype, that is, in World War II, the luxury royal cruise ship owned by the British Cunard shipping company - Lancastria, a luxury oil tanker with more than twice the number of casualties on the Titanic, causing 4,000 lives to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Like James Cameron's filming of "Titanic", Li Xiaole made a one-to-one model of the ship in India, and has already filmed the scene on the shipyard, and then will sink the model and shoot the scene of the shipwreck.
Before that, Li Xiaole needed a few leading actors to really feel what a real shipwreck was, so he, like James Cameron, gathered them here to prepare for a real undersea shock education......
