While the crew was building a huge project, on the other hand, Li Xiaole was taking the actors to shoot the real and most important scenes. They first shot the scenes of Pai’s childhood in several cities in Delhi and India. Thanks to the help of Bollywood, all of these scattered but important scenes were shot in just one month.

Gradually, more and more young Indians took photos of "Pi" during the crew filming and uploaded them to the website, and Li Xiaole's confidentiality work could no longer be continued.

Although they may not have heard of the name Li Xiaole for ordinary Indians, they are well-known for the wealthy young people from the Bollywood Brahmin Film and Television Academy. Unlike the older generation of Bollywood, these Indian students who study performances have grown up watching American movies on the Internet, and are well known for the name of "Jesus Lee" who has caused a sensation in Hollywood in the past two years.

In addition, Li Xiaole's young Eastern Constellation is more intimate than other Hollywood directors. Many students from Brahmin Film and Television Academy have begun to become star-chasing people, following the crew of "Boyant Pi" all the way across India.

Finally, when Li Xiaole finished filming scenes from other places and returned to the port of Kolkata, these young Indians who were obsessed with him even rented local hotels and hotels crazily, staying near the crew every day just to get close to their idols~

In their minds, Li Xiaole, a Chinese who has been a grassroots person who has become a world-class director, is their goal. Everyone hopes to be someone like him who can leave his country and show off his skills in Hollywood~~

Unlike these happy star-chasers who are extremely excited every day, the crew of "Youth Pi" has begun to enter a very tormenting stage.

Compared with the "Pie's drifting" scene, which accounts for two-thirds of the length of the film, the rest are technical issues, and only this part is the most important performance that really requires the actors and directors to work together to cooperate with each other.

The scenes of a computer-made CG tiger with an Indian boy should be the simplest in this movie. Whether it is a large scene on the ocean or an indoor special effects pool, the scenes in the camera are very clean, with only one actor and a CG tiger. The composition is so simple that it is probably unique in all movies. Many people in the crew even think that they can finish the filming of this part in a week.

But when it was really shot, everyone started to complain, because Sula Shama, the starring actor, did not know the basis of performance at all. Although his stupid and straightforward performance occasionally had bright spots, it made people seem completely unconvincing. You can't feel that he was living on a lifeboat with a tiger... There was no expressiveness at all...

Yes, Sura Shama is a good kid, he works hard, but everyone can see that he is not an actor... His one-man show on the boat, let alone Tom Hanks, even if he is just a regular actor, he looks much more immature.

After filming scenes on the real ocean for two weeks, there was no set of available shots, which disappointed everyone. Seeing the rapid progress of the props on the shore, while the shooting progress here was stagnant. Everyone in the crew was disappointed and couldn't get up every day.

Only Li Xiaole kept silent and let Sula Shama act casually on the lifeboat. It was not until he realized that this Indian boy couldn't stand firmly on the ship from the beginning and wanted to vomit every day. He slowly began to be able to move freely on the ship, and he felt a little satisfied.

In the end, Fred couldn't stand it anymore and could only pull Li Xiaole aside and said, "This is not possible. I think he really can't act. This kid is too lacking in confidence... It's better to change people, it's still time."

"Wait a little longer, give him more time." Li Xiaole just smiled, and had already had an idea in his heart. Now it is the official start.

"Li... I never understood, why did you choose a child like him who has no foundation at all?" Fred sighed and said helplessly. In fact, there are many more suitable candidates.

"Because I still have a lot of shortcomings now." Li Xiaole smiled, but said seriously:

"I am not able to use the best actors and the best production level for the time being. Under these too dazzling factors, let others see the level of my director. I chose Sharma, not only because he is suitable, but also because if he, an outsider, can shine in my movie, those judges cannot ignore my value...

Actually, I don’t have confidence, because I have never used an actor with weak acting skills, but I think that if I want others to recognize me, then I must first surpass myself and surpass my own limits. I believe I can prove to everyone that I, Li Xiaole, as a director, can deserve the highest honor in the world."

Fred was stunned when he heard these words. He clearly wanted to persuade Li Xiaole, but his spirit and fearless spirit in his words were touched by his youth. When he was young, if he had one-tenth of Li Xiaole's courage, he might not have stayed in the small place of the Drama Council for the rest of his life...

Although he can teach Li Xiaole a lot in the movie, isn’t Li Xiaole teaching himself something? The courage to fly with the breath of youth and the burning impulse, Fred suddenly felt envious in his heart. Yes... Only people like him can truly reach the peak of the world~~

"Well, then okay..." Although Fred's heart was ups and downs, as an art director, he still restrained his inner emotions and gave advice to Li Xiaole: "If it really doesn't work, you can change people at any time. I think some of those children are good..." As he said that, he pointed to the dozen Indian boys and girls hiding behind the camera's camera.

Li Xiaole looked over there, smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that the time was almost done, he waved to Emma to come. He had already had an idea in his mind. To train an actor, the most important thing is to shape his confidence. During this period, Sura Shama was looked down upon, and his mentality should have sink to the bottom. It is time for him to improve his confidence.

"What's the matter? I'm going to comfort your little baby Shama again~? Please, I'm only 17 years old~ I still want people to comfort me~~" Emma whined angrily as she walked over, her beautiful little face was full of displeasure. Recently, Li Xiaole has been asking her to take care of Sura Shama, saying, "You are about the same age as him and older than him, so you have to look at him like your sister." It made her very unhappy.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful, you little monster." Li Xiaole smiled and touched her head.

"It's so rude to touch a lady's head like this~! If I were in London, I could slap you for this~!" Emma raised her beautiful eyes and glared at Li Xiaole, but did not stop him from touching. How could she say it? I felt that I was actually very happy to be with him so intimately, although this young director always hoped to let her do something strange...

"Okay, I'll give you a task to call the students from the Brahmin student team over. I'll teach Shama the performance class. You can listen to it by the way. It's good." Li Xiaole ordered her.

"You want to teach us a performance class~?" Emma was a little surprised, but she immediately became excited. She ran over there and turned around and said, "Okay, I'll call them over now." The performance class of Li Xiaole, the big director, was much more attractive than the old professors in the Drama Council.

After a while, Emma exerted his "Hermione" appeal and summoned all the movie fans and Sura Shama. At this time, Li Xiaole also asked the crew workers to pull the lifeboat to the dock by the sea and call all the boys and girls next to the lifeboat.

Looking at the idol in my heart coming, a group of Indian college students with Brahmin castes couldn't help but shout at Li Xiaole: "Director Li~ Can you give us some roles~ As long as you can take a shot, any role can be done~" "Director Li~~I think your male lead is not good, let me play the leading role, I will definitely be better than him~"

A group of students from the Bollywood Film and Television Academy who did not know the height of the world all recommended themselves, while Sura Shama next to him looked very inferior with his head down. He also knew in his heart that he knew nothing and was not as good as the children of these Brahman nobles. These children were born with a good education and would go to the United States to be actors or programmers in the future, and he... even his English accent was very ugly.

"Okay~ Stop calling, it's all quiet." Li Xiaole held a camera rack with a cold face and knocked heavily on the lifeboat parked at the dock. With a "bang", the group of Indian young people jumped. He didn't expect Director Li to be so fierce, but Li Xiaole's next words almost made each of them jump up happily.

"Next, I'll do an exercise about the protagonist's performance. As long as any of you can do better than Shama, I'll let him take over Shama as the leading actor in this movie. If the girl does the best, I'll let her be the heroine in my next movie."

After saying this, not only the boys and girls from the performance academy cheered: "Li, you didn't lie to us~~" "You can really be the leading actor~" "That's great~! I must be better than him."
