Chapter 128: A Heavy Knife
Last time, Su Changqing was reminded to change to a white actor, so the plot was adjusted, and David Landau certainly understood what it meant, so he even dispelled the idea of investing in a piece of the pie.
In the end, he said: "It's a pity that this is not a Hollywood movie, otherwise you could have hit the Best Screenplay Award." ”
Su Changqing knows very well that this is not a work that aspires to win awards, and only one unit of the Oscars is awarded to foreign films, which are usually art films.
Although "Moving Maze" and "Battle Royale" are also award-winning films, they are not awards.
The former is purely commercial and has low intentions, the latter is too dark and violent, and is not favored by mainstream awards.
Commercial films and art films have their own ways of filming, make money well, talk about feelings seriously, don't do business under the guise of talking about feelings.
The plot has changed, and the actors' roles have naturally changed, no matter what, Wu Whale is still the heaviest male lead, but the Japanese and Korean camps must also have their own leading roles, and the corresponding roles must be balanced.
Liu Yufei has returned from Japan and South Korea, talked to Su Changqing, hesitated and refused to participate.
Su Changqing thought that she had communicated with Mu Mu in private about this issue, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You have studied dance performance for so many years, have you given up?"
Liu Yufei said in her heart: "I have ambition, but I also have self-knowledge, although I also envy Mu Mu's success, I know very well that I am not suitable for this play." ”
This is a very smart and clever girl, she probably doesn't really think that she is not suitable for this play, but she noticed the care from Su Changqing's verbal expression, so she refused.
People who are too good to be strong and want to save face are easy to suffer, but she is really not suitable for this movie, "Moving Maze" has a lot of action scenes, almost everyone has to face the test of life and death, and the white swan can last until the end, and the audience does not approve, rather than playing soy sauce to give people their heads, it is better to wait for a more suitable role.
Liu Yufei is undoubtedly a stunning beauty, of course, she can also do the opposite, and shape her into the kind of goods with a ruthless heart like a snake and scorpion, which may leave a deep impression on the audience.
But this is a hot-blooded movie dominated by men, and it is obviously not worth ruining the image first in order to become famous.
There are many kinds of labels for actors, and the heart is like a snake and scorpion is the most difficult to wash, and it is even more difficult to wash it than making a tertiary film.
Teacher Feng Yuanzheng is definitely an acting school, but because he successfully played a perverted domestic violence man, it is difficult to wash his name for the rest of his life, let alone others.
Even if he plays the role of Zai Wei Zhengguang, everyone suspects that he beats his wife when he goes home, and he is pulled out to walk around twice every year on domestic violence day, which makes people laugh and cry.
It's better to wait for a better opportunity in the future, Su Changqing is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, why should the right role be cheap for outsiders if he can support his own people.
Liu Yufei's performance during this period was very eye-catching, and she went to Japan and South Korea nominally to cooperate with Ximenxiong, but actually played a major role.
A young and beautiful girl is still so shrewd and capable, it is rare, such a talent must be enveloped in the fourth dimension.
With the cooperation of the distribution company, Siwei Film and Television Company sent invitations to film and television production companies in Japan and South Korea, and asked them to provide actors and actresses.
The requirement is that a young newcomer, who is not afraid of hardship and death, and needs to work in China for two consecutive months.
With Su Changqing's signboard, the response was still very positive, and dozens of photos were soon sent for selection.
In view of the fact that this is a battle royale film, except for Wu Jing and the loyal little follower Wang Baoqiang, the quality of the others is somewhat flawed, so there is no need to be overly face-painted in the selection, just need to choose the right and personalized faces to arrange auditions.
Facialization seems to be a very negative word, in fact, it is difficult to avoid in commercial films, it must be convenient for the audience to make judgments, not all actors have the opportunity to show their acting skills, and sometimes the good or bad have to be written on their faces.
This is a transnational cooperation project, and the so-called audition is naturally sent to China after the actor's respective companies make the image, and it is impossible for a large group of people to come to China.
Japanese and Korean actors were quickly selected, and Su Changqing is especially optimistic about the two Oriental actresses Nobuko Maeda and Natsuki Umezawa, and they are actors who are easier to shine than in their eyes.
The eye-catching performance in "Battle Royale" is the girls, all of them have a lot of inner drama, but the boys can't, either indecisive or reckless and violent.
The selection of actors in South Korea is more interesting, and the pursuit of superficial glamour is more, and the selected actors emphasize beautiful women and handsome men, each of the men is more than one meter eight, the women are small and exquisite, and the rest don't seem to care too much.
The glade is a battlefield, and isn't a person like an embroidered pillow a living target?
It is really the national character that determines the fate of the nation, so it would be good to satisfy you.
As for the actors on the Chinese side, there are already two backbones, and the rest have selected a few men and women among the Nortel freshmen, and no actress has been highlighted.
I have to say that there are no outstanding talents in the 95th class, unlike Xu Jinglei in the 93rd class, Jiang Qinqin and Jin Qiaoqiao in the 94th class, and Chen Kun and Zhao Wei in the 96th class, but these people are not suitable.
There is another thing that Su Changqing has always taken to heart.
At the beginning, Siwei was short of funds, Hu Ji supported him with all his savings, and said that he would invest the money in "Taiping", and it was time to fulfill his promise.
I called Renyi several times but didn't find anyone, and later Pu Cunxi told him: "Hu Ji quietly resigned a few days ago and has not come to work." ”
This is really very surprising, Su Changqing asked Ximenxiong, I didn't expect this Fa Xiao who has been playing since he was a child and didn't understand the situation.
But he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll find her!"
Hu Ji loves stage art, how could he suddenly quit?
This is a completely different trajectory of her fate before her.
Su Changqing felt a little guilty, and always felt that his appearance had changed something, so that he had such a huge change, and he was depressed for two or three days.
Wang Baoqiang would report to Lotus Hutong every week, and he quickly became acquainted with most people.
Wu Whale was entrusted by Su Changqing to take good care of him, and sometimes he came with him.
According to Wu Jing, Wang Baoqiang was quite comfortable in the martial arts school, and his classmates heard that he had come to Shaolin for six years of hard training, and they didn't wait for him to challenge him.
"After all, he is young, his strength and physical fitness are there, and he can't hold it after three axes, but young students of the same age basically can't beat him. ”
Wang Baoqiang is practicing fighting people in Shaolin, and the martial arts school is practicing competitions, so there must be an advantage in fighting.
Wu Whale took Su Changqing's suggestion, and he has tanned a lot in the past month, and the skin on his face looks very hard, looking like a different person, sitting there without smiling is like a dark knife.
Su Changqing also gave him a piece of advice for the performance: "No matter what the situation, don't laugh, the upper limit of your expression is to smile, you can try to express joy in other ways, in short, don't laugh, you are suitable for being colder." ”
He couldn't laugh in the past two days, and it was a bit dazzling to see Wu Whale laughing stupidly.
However, Wu Whale is really not suitable for laughter, in Su Changqing's impression, his best performance is not in "Wolf Warrior", but several villains when he was not popular, the cold and ruthless image is very plump and moving, and no good-looking star does it better than him.
"Don't laugh like Stallone?"
"Pretty much that, he doesn't smile because he has a pair of cold eyes, and yours are sharp, and laughing spoils the feeling. ”
The investment in "Moving Labyrinth" is not bad, "Taiping" has made a lot of money, Jingge, camera architecture and advertising companies have performed well, and the four-dimensional assets are expensive, and there is no idea of introducing capital.
However, there are many people who are popular.
