Looking at the three actors with wide eyes, the only one the reporters recognized was Emma Watson. The other two Indian faces were very unfamiliar. Everyone below was whispering to each other: "Phil, do you know this person?"

Two actors? An American or a British Indian actor?"

"I haven't seen it... what did he just say and what was he going to take a picture of?"

"What Life of Pi... I haven't heard of this script. Is it a fantasy theme?"

"I don't know...Hey, does any of you know?" The reporters who were talking about it all shook their heads.

In front of the TV, Kirk was yelling at Canon: "Quick~! Quick~!! Go check this script!! Find out what it's about!?"

Countless movie fans who followed this press conference were equally confused. They originally thought that Bruce Lee would come up with some killer movie, but they didn't expect that it turned out to be a story they had never heard of before.

Whether it is reporters or people in front of the TV, the first reaction of everyone is to take out their mobile phones or computers, log on to the Internet Wikipedia website, and check the relevant information of this story. After seeing the introduction of the original novel, everyone

Everyone was stunned. Wikipedia described this film in a very simple sentence...

"The story is about a 16-year-old Indian boy named Pi who drifted at sea with a Bengal tiger for 2 days to survive..."

What do you mean? This is a drifting story of one person? In other words, it is a one-act play by an actor!? The trump card that Black Pearl Company finally came up with is actually a one-act play movie? Oh my God?

After reviewing the information, the reporters at the scene could not help but exclaim in their hearts.

"Yes, I think you all have learned through various channels that this movie is adapted from the novel of the same name. More than two-thirds of the plot in the drama was completed independently by one actor." Li Xiaole looked at it.

Surprised faces in the audience made Sura Sharma, who was stiff and nervous, stand up and introduce to the hundreds of reporters in the audience:

"We searched all over India to find such a boy. We hope that his innocence can attract us, his depth can break our hearts, and his physique can interpret the character of Pie in the Castaway. And during the audition, in front of everyone,

Mr. Sura Sharma shows a lot of emotion, and most of it is conveyed through his eyes. He can believe in and be involved in the world in the story. This talent is very rare, so we chose him..."

During this month, Li Xiaole, who was silently searching for traces in the outside world, was not idle. He immediately went to India and held a grand casting event in the name of Bollywood, and went to find out in private

The original lead actor Sura Sharma was cast. He was only a 15-year-old high school student at this time. He had no intention of participating in the audition at all. It was Li Xiaole who strongly recommended him to audition and finally selected him.

Rather than being an actor at the audition, in Sura Sharma's own opinion, he is like the Phoenix girl discovered by Magneto and Doctor X in "X-Men", who was directly selected by Li Xiaole.

At the same time as the interview, Li Xiaole also built a tank near several venues in Mumbai. It is 70 feet long, 30 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and can hold 1,700 gallons of water. It is the world's largest fully automatic wave device tank. This tank

This allowed the crew to create all kinds of water waves. After the casting was completed, this sink almost became the home of Sura Sharma and Li Xiaole.

Now this boy, who originally couldn't even swim, has gone through many days of water training.

When everyone found out that this thin and shy Indian boy was actually the star of the movie, they all looked at each other. Everyone had a dumbfounded look in their eyes. A reporter from ABC TV had the biggest reaction.

Quickly, I couldn't help but raise my hand and asked: "Director Li, is this Mr. Sura Sharma a British actor of Indian origin?"

Li Xiaole has always had a keen eye for discovering young actors who are not yet famous. Benedict Cumberbatch is the best example, or this boy with an Indian face is based on a British drama.

The top students in the academy are not necessarily the same. Dev Patel, the star of "Slumdog Millionaire" previously selected by Xiao Le, is a young acting genius from Whitemore Drama High School in London.

"No, Sura Sharma is just an ordinary high school student in India. He has not received any actor training before." Li Xiaole replied calmly.

As soon as this sentence was said, some unfathomable expressions immediately appeared on the faces of all the reporters... The one-act movie play is an ancient type of drama, and it is used in many stage plays, such as "King Lear".

Once very popular, this kind of one-act play has only one actor performing most of the time. If you want the audience to stare at the actor intently in the monotonous plot, there is only one possibility - that is to invite a performer that all the audience can watch.

Liked and recognized superstar.

Throughout the entire history of film, there is only one successful one-act film, and that is "Cast Away" in 2001. This film was directed by the great "Forrest Gump" director Robert Zemeckis and the legendary Hollywood actor Oscar

Best Actor Tom Hanks once again teamed up for a masterpiece, and finally created this great and outstanding one-act movie that saw only Tom Hanks performing for two-thirds of the time.

When everyone read the contents of "Life of Pi", their first reaction was that Bruce Lee wanted to recreate the glory of "Cast Away" and make a box office bomb with the soul of an art film.

But he actually used an ordinary person with no experience at all as the lead? This guy named Sura Sharma looked at the reporters like him with trepidation, his face turned pale, as if he would faint at any time, because of his virtue, he wanted to compete with Tom

·Hanks rivalry? What a joke!!?

Many reporters couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere of what was originally a very serious press conference immediately became relaxed. Li Xiaole talked for a long time, declaring war on the six major universities, and ambitiously joining the Christmas schedule war at the end of the year.

, the result is such an inexplicable art film? Starring a passerby...

Looking at the group of reporters below talking about each other, Li Xiaole could read a lot of things in the eyes of these reporters. Some were surprised, some were disdainful, some were doubtful, and some were... gloating about their misfortune.

He couldn't help but squeeze the shoulder of Sura Sharma, who was pale with fright, and put him in front of the camera: "I know that when I announce this new movie, you will have a lot of thoughts, and you may think that I

Crazy, but it doesn’t matter. You will soon know that this movie will be my best work. I think Hollywood has been lacking in recent years. A movie that truly combines box office and art perfectly, I believe

I will change this situation, and it will be an honor for the entire Hollywood to have Mr. Suraj Sharma join the film industry."

Looking at the stunned people below, Li Xiaole turned to look at the camera, as if facing the people in front of the TV who were causing trouble for him behind his back, and said slowly and authentically in a low and powerful voice:

"I have said in previous press conferences that the top six executives have already lost the courage and temperament that filmmakers should have, and they have become full of copper odor. In addition to resting on their laurels, they only want to make some quick money.

A bad movie, they don’t have the courage to take risks...

I know you are watching TV, and I know you have laughed behind my back at me for overestimating my abilities and not filming old-fashioned superhero themes like "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", but now I can tell you,

We at Black Pearl dare to make art films, and we dare to explore new themes at any cost~~!!

Regardless of whether you doubt or laugh at me, just put away your little tricks and shut up! Just put your butt on the sofa and watch us challenge the movies that you dare not challenge, and watch us conquer you.

The feared movie world~"

Li Xiaole's **** and vicious words were spread all over the world along with the live broadcast signal of Pirate TV. Everyone watching the live broadcast couldn't help but be stunned in surprise...

Looking at the TV and seeing Li Xiaole's cold expression glaring at him, Kirk raised his hand with hatred and slammed the coffee cup in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

: "This desperate little bastard! He tried to drag us into the water before he died."

"I think this guy is really at the end of his rope... He is trying to shape himself into a tragic hero." Canon next to him stroked his beard and said with a relaxed smile. He really scared them to death just now, and he still

What do you think Li Xiaole will come up with in his movie? It turns out to be a one-act play of pure art? Or is it starring someone who has never acted before?

This is no longer a matter of victory or defeat, but Li Xiaole is planning how to end his career in Hollywood in a tragic manner. He wants to do a crisis public relations, and finally win the favor of people in the industry, reverse the image of Black Pearl Company, and thereby gain a good reputation in the company.

Sell ​​it for a good price before it collapses.

His press conference today was very lively, and the publicity effect was extraordinary. He once again successfully whitewashed the image of Black Pearl Company as a "plagiarizer" and portrayed himself as a "pioneer of reform persecuted by traditional forces."

Although he could not save the Black Pearl from collapsing, it had once again raised his reputation to a higher level. Even if he failed, he would become a lone hero in the eyes of the world...

"No matter what tricks he plays, his bad movies can't save Black Pearl Company." Kirk snorted heavily from his nose and said sarcastically: "People like him shouldn't be in movies at all. If he were to elect the President of the United States,

, the next White House may have a different owner.”
