425. Chapter 425 Scene 425 Best Actor(1/2)
"Ahem..." Li Xiaole saw everyone's resistance to Jiubadao in the conference room, and immediately changed the topic:
"Okay, let's decide this first. There are still several important characters left. We need to audition. The second male lead Lao Cao, who has a clear face of around the age of 1980. He has a handsome and self-righteous look. His eyes need to be a little shiny. It's better to lose weight. He is about 175cm tall and his hair is longer. Ah He needs to be fatter and looks very smart and cunning..."
Li Xiaole read out the requirements for important roles. After Ha Ji-won and Huang Shumin confirmed to play Shen Jiayi and Hu Jiawei, the only thing left was to determine three male characters. In addition to the protagonist Ke Jingteng, Lao Cao and Ahe are both very key characters. In the original work, Ah Quan played Lao Cao slightly weaker, while Hao Shaowen's Ahe looks too likable, without the kind of a good student annoying atmosphere, not vivid enough, and looks a little immature, which leads to the plot where he and Shen Jiayi are not convincing at all.
Therefore, all three roles must be carefully re-selected. Of course, the most important thing for these actors is to match Ha Ji-won. His director has serious emotional interference in this regard and is not subjective enough. Jiuzhao and Ha Ji-won need to discuss it together.
After this meeting, everyone started to pick up characters that meet the criteria with a bunch of photos of young actors...
Only Li Xiaole acted a little weird during the entire process of selecting actors. He didn't care about the various photos of actors on the table. He had a thought that kept lingering in his mind. He hesitated for a long time, but was embarrassed to say it out.
If you want to talk about Ke Jingteng, a passionate young character... it seems that he can play it himself. Although this character is not challenging, he always feels itchy when he can play the male and female protagonists with Ha Ji-won. Another story about a beautiful love story.
Why can't I star in person? Li Xiaole looked at Jiubadao, Ha Ji-won, and Huang Shumin began to put the selected audition actors in the folder, and finally couldn't help but speak out.
"Everyone, wait... I have a suggestion before the meeting ends." Li Xiaole suddenly coughed dryly, stood up, and everyone's eyes gathered.
"Actually... I think my appearance and temperament are very consistent with the character of Ke Jingteng. Why should I join this audition list? What do you think?" Li Xiaole tried to make himself look normal, but his lips still trembled involuntarily.
The conference room immediately became silent. Ha Ji-won, Huang Shumin, and Jiuba were all staring blankly at Li Xiaole's mouth slightly open, performing in extreme surprise.
"How is this proposal?" Li Xiaole looked at the three of them with a sense of confidence, looking forward to seeing a hint of recognition from their expressions...
"Well, director, you have a young face and look very student-like... But..." Jiubadao first reacted and said in a hint of embarrassment.
"But what?" Li Xiaole asked anxiously with wide eyes, was he wrong? I was the best supporting actor at the Golden Horse Awards! Do you still doubt my acting skills!?
"Director, Ke Jingteng is a single-cell passionate young man. Simple and kindness is his greatest characteristic. Are you in this regard..." Jiuzhao raised his eyes and smiled.
"Am I not kind, not just... simple?" Li Xiaole's face suddenly became a little stiff. Damn, he was recognized as a pure boy when he was in college. Jin Jae-wook and other little bastards could swallow their anger every day. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
Ha Ji-won looked at Li Xiaole's incredible expression and couldn't help but open her bright eyes and said with a little amused: "I said to Director Li, you seem to be too ignorant of yourself. You are the one you 5 years ago... Now, don't you think about what words are used in the newspaper to describe you..."
"How do you describe it?" Li Xiaole felt that Ha Ji-won was joking.
"Cunning, insidious, scheming~!" Huang Shumin also said speechlessly next to her. This is the only few adjectives she has learned in Chinese lines recently. Recently, in Taiwanese newspapers, because Li Xiaole rented theater screens to trick all theater managers, it was rated as the most successful cooperation case by many business magazines. It was widely reported that Li Xiaole played all kinds of tricks in that incident. In the minds of Taiwanese people, Li Xiaole is a sinister figure of the same level as Soros who created the financial crisis.
Li Xiaole and Zhang looked at Huang Shumin and Ha Ji-won's eyes for a long time, and confirmed that they did not lie. They twitched heavily in their hearts, accepted this fact in great pain, and squeezed out a smile:
"Hey~~ Senior Sister Huang~ Why are you so serious? I'm just joking to relax the atmosphere... Why are you taking it seriously? How can I have time to act this..." Everyone immediately relaxed after saying this.
"I'm scared to death..." Ha Ji-won pressed his chest with his hand and looked in a terrifying look, and smiled at Li Xiaole: "I'm really nervous and insisted on doing such a stupid thing. If you can play Ke Jingteng, you will probably play our pure idol drama into a family drama that is intriguing..."
"Yes, yes, Director Li is not the same type as me. He looks very scheming and calculating at first glance." Jiubadao also nodded repeatedly with breathing.
At the end of the meeting, the three of them laughed and packed their things and went out. However, Ha Ji-won stopped after taking a few steps, turned around and secretly looked at Li Xiaole who was alone in the conference room through the crack of the door. Huang Shumin was also curious and went over to peek together.
I saw Li Xiaole in the conference room, facing the mirror on the wall, touching his face, muttering to himself:
"Have you really changed so big in just a few years? How could you grow old so quickly... I'm cunning... I have such a tender face and such a pure look, why are I'm cunning... Why are I'm sinister and cunning..."
Seeing this scene, Huang Shumin and Ha Ji-won looked at each other and burst into laughter.
As night fell in Taipei City, in the elegantly decorated room, Ha Ji-won sat beside the bed, frowned and looked at the entertainment version of the United Daily News in her hand. She saw that the location where she looked was an article about the analysis of many Chinese actresses. The content of the article was "Who will become the heroine of Li Xiaole's new drama?"
"Zhou Xun's superb eye performance, Zhang Ziyi's physical expression, Cecilia Cheung's explosive performance, Fan Binbing's cold and charming temperament, Sun Li's clearness... These young generation Chinese actresses are enough to become the next heroine of Li Chuangkuan..."
Seeing these photos and texts, Ha Ji-won's bright eyes were a little depressed, and she muttered softly: "Why are Chinese actresses so good-looking and have such good acting skills..." As she said that, she shook her head and asked to herself: "I don't know if I will be scolded by Li Xiaole this time..."
Thinking of Li Xiaole's narcissistic look in the mirror during the day, Ha Ji-won began to strongly wonder if she was actually not suitable for the heroine. It was just that she could only be the starring actor after being exposed to Li Xiaole's light? After all, this is about to speak Chinese, but she is much worse in the actresses in the magazine.
Just as he was thinking, the cell phone on the desk suddenly rang, Ha Ji-won cheered up and put down the newspaper, put on his slippers and walked to the desk to pick up the cell phone, looked at it was Li Xiaole's phone, and then answered the channel: "What's the matter, Director Li Da?"
"There are many stars in the sky tonight..." Li Xiaole was a little vague on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah." Ha Ji-won opened the curtain and saw the stars in the night sky. When he heard this sound, he calmed down for some reason and responded gently.
"Tomorrow should be a sunny day..." Li Xiaole hesitated.
"So what?" Ha Ji-won held his cell phone against the wall, and smiled unconsciously.
"So, why can't I play Ke Jingteng... I really don't understand, President He, can you tell me honestly..." Li Xiaole said in a tangled manner.
"Because you are no longer the ignorant boy from 5 years ago." Ha Ji-won laughed. This guy was still struggling with this issue.
"But I still want to play Ke Jingteng, because you are Shen Jiayi now..." Li Xiaole's voice was obviously a little regretful.
"I'll ask you..." Ha Ji-won suddenly felt a warmth rise from the bottom of his heart and asked softly: "Li Xiaole, if you don't know me, who would you choose to play Shen Jiayi now?"
"Well... let me think about it..." Li Xiaole said.
"Let's choose three people." Ha Ji-won asked carefully.
"The first person is Ha Ji-won..." Li Xiaole said word by word: "The second person is Ha Ji-won, and the third person is Ha Ji-won..."
"Good mouth and tongue..." He Zhiyuan smiled and said, a sweet feeling flowing in his heart, and continued to ask:
"Then do you think you can win the box office championship if you use me as the heroine?"
"Can you? You should ask how many weeks the championship is." Li Xiaole said.
"What a stinky fart..." Ha Ji-won was speechless.
"This is called self-confidence!" Li Xiaole snorted from the other end of the phone:
"I know, I'm not the top director in the world, but there is an actor in this world who I am confident that I can shoot better than all other directors... Even Spielberg, Martin Sicorsese, and James Cameron combined are not as good as me. That actor is... Ha Ji-won."
Ha Ji-won held the phone and looked at the sky quietly. Since her mood was warm and fulfilling, she felt as if all the uneasiness in her heart was washed clean by the bright starlight. She looked at the starry sky and sighed:
"Li Xiaole, do you know? When I was in Korea, I suddenly wanted to see your face. I don't know why, but in front of you, I will become very energetic and motivated in everything I do. I used to be like this..."
"Am I a rechargeable battery..." Li Xiaole's voice softened.
"No...I think...you are like stars. Although you don't come out during the day, you will always shine on me at night when I can't help myself... Whenever the night is late and I feel lonely alone, I can see stars and you when I look up... This feeling is so good..."
Ha Ji-won leaned gently on the pillow, closed his eyes, and raised his lips. At the same time, in another room, Li Xiaole was also lying on the bed and staring at the starry sky, and fell asleep unknowingly. That night, both of them slept very fragrantly and sweetly. They both had a very long dream. In the dream, the two of them were holding hands and flying with the stars in the Milky Way, all the way to a very far, far away... "Cough cough..." Li Xiaole saw everyone's resistance to Jiubadao in the conference room, and immediately changed the topic:
"Okay, let's decide this first. There are still several important characters left. We need to audition. The second male lead Lao Cao, who has a clear face of around the age of 1980.
