280. Chapter 280 Scene 280: Actor Confirmed
"Triss and comedy? Isn't it a romantic comedy?" Su Gao was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously with his mouth open, "I believe that the audience is looking forward to Director Lee's definition of tragedy and comedy?"
"Actually, "If You Are the One" is a tragedy. The characters in it are extremely sad, but the audience will laugh at it, so I can only say it is a tragedy and comedy." Li Xiaole's answer was very vague.
"In other words, will someone die?" Su Gao continued to ask in anticipation.
"If there are too many, you can't reveal it. You can watch the trailer and guess the plot." Li Xiaole smiled cunningly, continued to keep it in hiding, leaving more room for imagination for everyone.
After playing this exclusive interview program in the latest "Entertainment" program, fans who follow "If You Are the One" feel confused and cannot imagine what the strange-named "If You Are the One" movie is about to talk about.
Zhang Guorong and Ge You, Chen Kaige will shoot a profound theme of "Farewell My Concubine", and Feng Xiaogang will shoot a Feng comedy? But what will Li Feng Kuang shoot? This seems to have unlimited possibilities.
From third-level films, idol dramas, black comedy, to extremely inspiring military themes, it seems that Li Cengkuan is changing among various themes, just like his nickname, his style has no unity and is extremely "crazy". Even if Ge Yuga and Zhang Guorong make a horror film, it may not be too surprising.
The loyal Li Crazy, brainless black film critic Zhou Huanghun also published an article at this time, which speculated that he believed that Li Xiaole wanted to make a purely tragic art film, just like Wang Jiawei's style.
Zhou Huangxun wrote in his blog:
"After so many commercial works, although Li Xiaole still has many immature aspects, at least his market vision is worthy of praise.
I believe that with his personality, I should want to confirm his true strength to us professional filmmakers at this time. We will no longer shoot commercial movies, but use actors like Zhang Guorong and Ge You with extraordinary acting skills to shoot a favorite movie from the judges of the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster Awards, and use awards to prove ourselves.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, although Li Fengkuan has been changing in various styles of his works, he has never moved closer to the mainstream. He seems to have always been keen on pleasing young audiences rather than professionals. Unless he can win the award, he will always be a second-rate director.
Finally, the film critic added a prophecy: "I believe in the talent of this young director, but he is destined to fail because his age cannot afford the weight of the two actors. I believe that after the movie is released, Zhang Guorong and Ge You will regret their decision to take on this work."
Zhou Huanghun's comment certainly caused great response. Li Crazy "Crazy Mi" made various vicious personal attacks on his blog, while others scolded "Crazy Mi" for being brainless, and the two factions started a fierce war of words.
But no matter what, the famous film critic's blog traffic has reached another level.
For "If You Are the One", this is a preliminary promotion, and Li Xiaole took the opportunity to recruit guest actors.
In this movie with blind dates, there is a very big selling point. Ge You met with all kinds of blind date beauties. In the original version, there are no more substantial female stars except Xu Ruoxuan. Since he wants to film, he naturally needs to find appealing beautiful stars.
The thing about the cameo in the movie is actually very subtle. If there is no human face, even if the celebrity only shows one face, the price will be very high.
For example, "The Legend of the White Snake", which was released in 2011, is a commercial film. The producer Yoko is a purely commercial one. The stars who came to play came with a work attitude. Although the stars such as Du Wenze and Yang Qianhua only showed their faces and didn't even have a few lines, each of them took 350,000 yuan.
Because for them, this kind of cameo is a bit like shooting an advertisement, selling your fame for promotion, of course, there is a fee.
Another guest appearance is a guest appearance for humanity. For example, Fan Binbing in "Lost in Thailand", although there are various close-ups and the biggest surprise in the drama, she is a free guest appearance. It is because of the appeal of director Xu Zheng, and Fan Binbing comes to help. This is the friendship between colleagues.
Li Xiaole doesn't know what others think of him in the circle now, so he called and asked for help. The first person was of course Ha Ji-won. She agreed excitedly. When Li Xiaole reported this to the violent agent Zhang Damin and asked "whether to pay some car and horse fees."
Zhang Damin cursed with his waist on the other side of the video call: "Director Li, what do you mean? Do you look down on our Zhang agency when you become famous? Can't we afford the car and horse fees? If you want to take Zhiyuan to China for development, what money will you talk about?!"
Li Xiaole was scolded for being dirty. When he talked about this on the video call, He Ji-won giggled and didn't know how happy he smiled. He taught him in a bright tone:
"Li Xiaole, you are still so stupid. What a smart person, Damin is just asking you to owe him a favor. If you give money, wouldn't I just go to help in vain this time?"
"I guess that's it..." Li Xiaole finished his wry smile and couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Ha Ji-won who was smiling on the screen: "Don't always scold me! President He, I am a well-known director now~! Do you know~ Pay attention to your attitude~! Otherwise, I will ban you~!"
"Oh oh ~ Long time no see, you will ban me as soon as you go ~ I was scared by you." Ha Ji-won, wearing a suspender skirt, pretended to cover his chest, but his eyes were full of smiles and no fear at all.
"It's indeed a long time no see..." Li Xiaole was tempted by her words. She has been busy recently and has not found that she has not seen each other for a year.
"Here, I want to teach me Chinese. I'm not good at Chinese now. If you dare not teach me, I will teach you a lesson~~" Ha Ji-won tapped the screen with a smile fist.
"Don't worry, this time I have the best Chinese line actors, so I'll let you learn with me." Li Xiaole smiled.
"You?" Ha Ji-won said curiously: "Who else?"
"Well... Of course, there is also the starring actor of this movie. Sun Li, did Sister Lei not report to you?" Li Xiaole looked at the ceiling and said.
"Oh... I've watched her TV series. I'm much purer than I do. It should be the type you like." Ha Ji-won squinted his eyes and deliberately tentatively.
"I... don't you know that you like the type?" Li Xiaole coughed dryly.
"I don't know, then tell me what type of thing you like..." Ha Ji-won said with a wide eyelid.
"Isn't it... that silly smile, can't remember anything bad, has a good muscle... Sometimes I like to play against others, and the best handsome short hair..." Li Xiaole imagined it, but the look that Ha Ji-won left him the deepest. Jirolin in "Secret Garden" is her most beautiful appearance...
"Handsome short...short hair..." Ha Ji-won's face gradually solidified, and he squinted his eyes and said, "So you like to be a short-haired girl..."
"I...hey? I don't mean that, President He, please listen to my explanation." Li Xiaole didn't react and opened his mouth to realize that he had said the wrong thing.
"Sorry~! My mood suddenly turned from sunny to dark! Why? Because I'm going to wash my long and soft hair~ Goodbye~!" Ha Ji-won closed the video angrily.
Li Xiaole stared at the subtitle prompt of "signal not connected" in a daze, and smiled bitterly. Sure enough, he couldn't talk nonsense to women.
The next day, he called someone he wanted to invite a guest star.
The unmarried mother, originally played by Xu Ruoxuan, was decided to play the unmarried mother of the Korean ethnic group.
The homosexual love was originally Feng Yuanzheng, and Li Xiaole called Sun Honglei. When Sun Honglei heard that he was homosexual, he was extremely excited and said, "I must have performed well this. I encountered a lot when I sang in the past." - Success.
The cold-hearted woman - called the Hunan TV host Su Gao, who was quite intimate, and the two were quite friendly - successful.
The cemetery salesman - contacted his "rumored alumnus" Zhao Wei, who replied that the other party "can't adjust the schedule" - failed and continued to call Fan Binbing, who had a meeting with one person, and refused with the same answer. He finally contacted Tang Wei, the second female lead in "Happiness is Like Flowers". This little girl was chosen by Li Xiaole, so of course she agreed directly - successful.
The remaining stock trading experts and Miao girls all use their original actresses, Hu Ke and Luo Haiqiong, who are well-known beauties.
After a long communication, the only role that was not confirmed was Li Xiangshan's wife played by Zhang Guorong. This role would be a very beautiful mature beauty to cooperate with Zhang Guorong.
The problem is that such a beautiful actress is that Li Xiaole is of a wrong age, so it is basically impossible to invite her. Finally, he called Zhang Guorong to ask for his opinion. After listening to Xiaole's phone call, Zhang Guorong just smiled faintly:
"Let me do this, I'll find a friend to see if Director Li thinks it's appropriate."
The result surprised Li Xiaole ~ The guest actress Zhang Guorong invited him was Shu Qi, the real heroine in the original "If You Are the One". Although Li Xiaole thinks she is out of place in this movie, if she only makes a cameo, it is indeed a stunning character.
He is now trying to call Zhang Guorong "Brother", this is an actor who is so good at taking care of others.
