Kim Jong-min blushed and bowed to Li Xiaole and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Xiaole.
"Director, what's the matter?" Kim Jong-min felt that this little director was staring at him and looked very uncomfortable.
Li Xiaole came back to his senses with an "oh", cut off the information in his head, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I just want to ask you, you are a good singer and you want to act in a movie." ”
"I just wanted to give it a try." Kim Jong-min lowered his head, looking very lacking in confidence.
Li Xiaole knew at a glance that he was not telling the truth, he was a little worried about Jin Zhongmin's motives, and he had no impression of Jin Zhongmin in this period in his memory, and looked at Lei Ting with a look of help, Lei Ting said very tacitly:
"Gao Yaotai's original lead singer Cha Shengmin went back to the United States to study, he just came on as a substitute, and now the recording of this album was recorded by Cha Shengmin, so his performance is just lip-syncing, and the outside world has a very bad evaluation of him, so he should be trying to find another way out."
Oh, it turned out that there was such a paragraph, Li Xiaole suddenly realized, and said to Jin Zhongmin with a smile: "You go back first, wait for my call tomorrow." ”
Then he left the stunned Kim Jong-min and took Lei Ting and Kim Nam to the school cafeteria for lunch.
"Producer Lei, Uncle Jin, I don't know what you like to drink, milk, cola, beer, juice?" After entering the West No. 2 Canteen, Li Xiaole bought a drink at the window for the first time and put it on the table to occupy the territory, and it was not easy to grab a place for 3 people during this time period.
Now it's catching up with the peak of lunch time, in addition to the students and teachers who are eating in the cafeteria, Lei Ting, who feels scummy, wears a slightly see-through white shirt, and you can vaguely see the outline of the underwear inside, the lethality is extremely amazing, especially looking at the snow-white skin on her thighs from a distance, it seems to be floating with a seductive and criminal body fragrance, which makes a large number of men fascinated, although there are also beautiful female classmates and the like who are sitting, and Lei Ting has become a stunted cartoon girl. Lei Ting is like Elizabeth Taylor, Cleopatra, a liliang that instantly eclipses other women.
Li Xiaole has to admit that he occasionally has a physiological reaction when he sees her...... This chick is really fatal.
Lei Ting's appearance attracted more people's attention, and some people whispered, as if discussing her identity.
"Li Xiaole." Lei Ting stared at Li Xiaole and said.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiaole unscrewed the cola in his hand with a "smack".
"As an executive producer, I want to find out why you chose that Kim Jong-min, and I want to write a report to explain it to the boss." Lei Ting asked coldly, and Jin Nan next to him also looked at him with a curious expression.
"Classmate, do you need help? I'll help you cook~" Before Li Xiaole could answer, he saw a four-eyed boy coming over to Lei Ting.
"Classmate, haven't I seen you? Can I help you with the food? Another boy in a sweatshirt came over.
"What are you going to do?" The four-eyed boy who spoke first obviously didn't do it: "Do you know how to come first and come later?" ”
"What are you talking about?" The boy in the sweatshirt saw that the four eyes in front of him dared to chirp crookedly, and he was immediately angry. He is the vice president of the school's taekwondo club, and he dares someone to be embarrassed in front of him?
"Say what's wrong with you? What do you watch? What about pretending to be with me? The four-eyed field chicken is obviously not as Sven as he seems on the surface, pointing to the nose of the boy in the sweatshirt and scolding: "What's the matter if you don't accept it?" ”
(Fastest update) "You idiot! What do you want to do~! The boy in the sweatshirt pushed him on the shoulder, and the four-eyed field chicken was pushed back again and again, and the eyes on his face were crooked.
"You hit me? You can do it, you are wasted! You've waited for me! The four-eyed field chicken straightened his glasses and pointed at him angrily.
"Grass, are you stupid?" The sweatshirt boy obviously didn't take him for a while, and snorted.
Li Xiaole watched these two boys fight for Lei Ting, and felt very funny in his heart.
Lei Ting was very annoyed by being noisy, frowning slightly and revealing the scorpion tattoo on the neck on the side of the head of the two boys, the two buddies who had just fought for the beauty turned pale on the spot, and they took a few steps back in fright, and fled in a hurry.
Li Xiaole saw that there was no good show to watch, so he took a sip of Coke, and then began to explain the reason why he chose Kim Jongmin:
"Producer Lei, let's put it this way, the actors who come to audition don't do enough to liberate their nature, they are all using the method of 'I'm playing Eun Sik', not 'I am Eun Sik' in the performance, which belongs to the most elementary stage of the three levels of performance, of course, we can't invite any good actors at this price, so we can only find a compromise and find an actor who is similar to Eun Sik in all aspects, so that even if the acting skills are not mature, you can perform this role well."
Lei Ting frowned again and again when she heard this: "Is it interesting to drop the schoolbag, say something I understand." ”
Li Xiaole was helpless, his eyes moved, and he thought about how to explain to Lei Ting, a layman, and said, "Okay...... I'll use an analogy, if all the people on this shijie are a drink. As he spoke, he put a bottle of Coca-Cola in front of Lei Ting: "And the protagonist Eun-sik is a bottle of Coca-Cola." ”
"A real haode actor is an unlided drink, whether he's Fanta or milk, he can empty himself first and fill it with Coca-Cola. You're drinking all Coke. Li Xiaole smiled bitterly: "But what...... I can't afford to hire such a good actor, and I can't come to audition for a small role like mine, and the materials we can choose are all original silly drinks that are not opened. ”
"En......" Lei Ting bit the straw with her small mouth and seemed to understand something, and emptied the bottle before it could contain new things.
"It's like interviewing those people today, it's all unopened bottles of Fanta and milk, they are trying very hard to play Coca-Cola, so they tore off the label of Fanta milk on their bottles, put the trademark of Coca-Cola, and desperately shouted 'I am Coke, I am Coke', but the content of it has not changed, and others pick it up and drink it......" Li Xiaole finally said the conclusion after going around for a long time.
"And although this Kim Jong-min is not Coca-Cola, he is also a bottle of Pepsi, and the label of Coca-Cola is enough to confuse the real thing, you drink it almost right, do you understand what I said?"
Lei Ting finally understood what Li Xiaole meant, a trace of surprise floated in her eyes, she had worked as a producer for some independent filmmakers before, and she knew that these people liked to use esoteric professional terms to complicate problems, so that you couldn't find fault with him in the clouds, and this Li Xiaole seemed to be frank, and he explained his problem in a few words, but there was still a question in his heart:
"There's something wrong with what you say, I think everyone else is funnier than Kim Jong-min, if Eun-sik is Coca-Cola, Weishenme is Pepsi, and everyone else is milk?"
"You can't even see that?" Li Xiaole sighed in his heart that Lei Ting's bite of the straw was really sexy, and it couldn't help but be reminiscent of a Japanese action movie scene...... Resist the evil thoughts and explain:
"Producer Lei, you are a typical misunderstanding, ordinary people will mistake Haode comedians, it is the kind of appearance and behavior that makes people laugh when they see it, in fact, the core characteristics of a truly great comedy performance are loneliness and sadness. Do you harshly try to think back to all the great comedies, do the main characters of the comedies seem sad and lonely in private? It is their sad inner and outer joys that create the key to the contrast that makes people laugh. ”
Li Xiaole paused, put down the Coke bottle in his hand, and said:
"The greatest comedy characters often have tragedy in their hearts, but they show comedy, such as Chaplin, a great comedy giant of the early generation, Zhou Xingxing, a great comedian in Hong Kong, and Ge Wei, an actor with unparalleled acting skills in our Chinese region.
If there is no such inner quality, no matter how funny the appearance and physical performance are, what they do is just funny, such as those interviewers before, you will laugh at him, but you will not sympathize with him, and you will not empathize with his pain, only this Kim Jong-min, from the inside out, has a sense of sadness and loneliness that a comedian must have, this trace is impossible to imitate, we shoot a haode comedy, we must use Kim Jong-min like this, will make people pity his weakness, feel the sadness of his heart of the actor. ”
Li Xiaole, who has always maintained a grinning face, suddenly said such thought-provoking words, which made Lei Ting thoughtful, she thought of the famous Hollywood comedy king Kim Kelly seems to be the kind of particularly lonely character in private, which perfectly confirms Li Xiaole's point of view, and couldn't help but bow his head and take out his computer to record Li Xiaole's words in the report.
Jin Nan listened from beginning to end on the side, and he was even more surprised in his heart, Li Xiaole's opinions on how to choose actors seemed to be more thorough than him, who has been in the film and television industry for decades......
His words seem to have been dissected by a film master after making movies for half his life, how could this nineteen-year-old boy inadvertently reveal his insights beyond his age?
It seems that he has been rolling in this industry for half his life, pay attention to Li Xiaole's focused and persistent eyes, and then look at the movie students around him who are bragging and picking up beauties, and eating loudly......
Actually, where did he know...... Li Xiaole's analogy is a paragraph mentioned in the famous acting master Strasberg's open class on the Internet in 2009, and for a while, almost every Hollywood producer used this Coke metaphor to flicker around the eyebrows in the bar, which can be described as one of the most classic jokes of filmmakers pretending to be B bubble girls, Li Xiaole has not said a hundred and ninety times.
Li Xiaole returned home in the evening, and after the actor finally had the lead, he mainly considered a few supporting roles, compared to the protagonist, the supporting roles are better to choose, there are not many shots, and they don't need too much acting skills, the important thing is to have characteristics, this kind of person grabs a lot of people in the Seoul Film Academy, not to mention that there are several senior actors from the Chungmuro Stage Troupe who come to the interview, and the performance is very explosive.
In the process of audition one afternoon, Li Xiaole selected 3 dead friends around the actor according to the original version - "sissy", "lewd man" and "explosive head", three acting students with different temperaments, and the role of school grass did not surpass Zhao Xianzai's image and temperament for a long time, Zuihou decided to leave it to him directly.
