Chapter 108 Looking for a professor to act as a professor?
Since any program needs to be turned into a program, it cannot be completed overnight.
Moreover, this is still a "talent show", so Penguin Video also needs preparations and early publicity to let people know that there is such a thing, so as to attract pet owners to sign up.
At the same time, it is naturally impossible for Li Yi and others to just sit and wait.
The matter of the dog actor has been temporarily solved, but other actors also need time to find.
For example, the role of the professor, the male protagonist in the movie, is different from other movies and requires young actors. In this movie, the protagonist must not be too young and must have a specific temperament. Of course, the requirements for acting skills are also very high.
In fact, there is no shortage of this type of actors in the mainland entertainment industry. For example, several well-known veteran actors can all be qualified for this role, but Li Yi does not particularly like to use actors who are too famous.
This type of actor is well-known and has a high status, which naturally has advantages, that is, their fame can increase the attention of the movie, and their acting skills and experience are beyond doubt.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. Because these types of actors are famous and have high status, they are naturally not so "obedient". These types of actors usually have a lot of their own ideas when acting. p>
It's not that Li Yi doesn't like actors to have their own ideas, but he doesn't like actors' ideas to be out of the scope of the script. Although actors such as big-name movie kings are dedicated, they are too dedicated, so dedicated that the director
Many times, they may not be able to hold back, but they are so dedicated that they can even turn against customers.
Although Li Yi is well-known, compared to these big names, he doesn't have much confidence to hold him back, or in other words, he is too lazy to look for trouble.
On the other hand, the remuneration for this type of actors is too high. To put it bluntly, if Li Yi really chooses a well-known veteran actor, then the remuneration of that person may be higher than that of the entire crew combined. p>
Li Yi feels that making movies is already a tiring job, so it would be nice to have less trouble.
But this also stumped Zhuo Yixiong and others.
Nothing else, because Li Yi’s requirements are actually quite high.
Of course, the professors in the school must have this kind of bookishness, look polite, and make people feel good looking.
And then you have to have good acting skills. After all, in the movie "Hachi", to a certain extent, the first half is almost as good as a one-man show.
It’s a drama, but it still depends on the acting.
Many of these people met the requirements, but in the end, Li Yi added another one: the salary cannot be too high, and the role cannot be too large!
Well, to put it simply, Li Yi’s requirement is high quality and low price.
This is hard for Zhuo Yixiong. Where can you find cheap things in Wumart, especially in the entertainment industry?
Li Yi also considered his father Li Zhenye, but he was rejected immediately. Without him, Li Zhenye's education level is really not very high. He has never been to college seriously. Is he a bookish person? A cultural person?
Let him play a university professor? Forget it!
However, Li Yi had requests, and Zhuo Yixiong naturally had to satisfy them. He still selected some actors that he thought were more suitable according to the conditions required by Li Yi.
However, these actors, without exception, are all veteran actors, but they are not big names.
However, on the day of the audition, Li Yi had a headache after auditioning one by one.
Without him, these old actors can be called old actors, so naturally their acting skills are not bad, but temperament, temperament, temperament, still temperament!
Li Yi always felt that the taste was a bit off.
This is a very metaphysical thing. Sometimes, when you watch an actor, he obviously performs very well, but you just feel that there is something missing that you cannot explain.
Now, Zhuo Yixiong has nothing to do.
Because these have been selected by him and considered to be the most suitable actors, but Li Yi thinks it is not possible, what can he do?
"Professor, a cultural person?" Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, he immediately called his mentor, Li Mingshan.
"Do you really dare to think about asking a tutor to act in a movie for you? I'm from the directing department, not the acting department!" Li Mingshan immediately became happy after hearing Li Yi's somewhat hesitant thoughts.
Yes, Li Yi thinks his idea is genius. After all, you see, although his tutor is already sixty this year, he is actually pretty well maintained, and he is also a professor at the film school, so he can act in his true colors.
Yes?
However, he was ruthlessly rejected by his tutor Li Mingshan.
"Teacher, my role as the male protagonist in the movie really matches you. I can perform in my true colors. Teacher, you have no problem. Moreover, our teacher-student cooperation will be a good story if it spreads." Li Yi still refused to give up.
.
"You, you, really, it's a good story. I'm afraid it's not a joke, right? Besides, I'm a teacher, and my job is to teach, not to be an actor!" Li Mingshan was made to laugh and cry by Li Yi. He didn't understand Li Yi's mind at all.
What do you think?
"Then what should we do?" Li Yi was at a loss and said a little discouraged.
"You, your teacher, I am not from the performance department, but you can definitely find a teacher from the performance department!" Li Mingshan said funny.
"But didn't you say that your job is to teach, not to be an actor?" Li Yi asked back.
"You are really stupid. Wouldn't you find a teacher who no longer teaches?" Li Mingshan said speechlessly.
"Are you still a teacher if you don't teach anymore? No, I mean, teacher, do you have anyone to recommend?" Li Yi suddenly asked with some surprise.
"Haha!" Li Mingshan sneered.
"Teacher..." Li Yipo was a little embarrassed.
"I said, how could you think of letting me act for you? You are waiting for me here!" Li Mingshan sneered.
"Teacher, the conscience of heaven and earth, the first thing I think of is you. I really have no other thoughts." Li Yi explained quickly.
"Okay, let's get down to business. According to your request, I do have a candidate here! However, whether you can convince him to star in your new play depends on your own ability." Li Mingshan seemed to be thinking of Li Mingshan.
Yi was so mercilessly rejected that he almost laughed out loud.
"Teacher, who do you want to recommend?" Li Yi was a little curious.
"Teacher Liang Dong!" Li Mingshan said.
After getting the contact information of Teacher Liang Dong, Li Yi searched for the name on the Internet.
Then, he finally understood why his mentor seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
Because, Li Yi saw a news report about Teacher Liang Dong on the Internet.
Li Yi's eyes widened immediately. Damn it, Teacher Li Mingshan, you are really my good teacher. You actually recommend such a "suitable" candidate to your students!
Liang Dong, if you want to talk about Li Yi's requirements, he does meet all of them very well. He was once a teacher in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, with the title of associate professor.
However, Liang Dong is no longer a working teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, but an actor. However, he is not the kind of actor who takes acting as a career, so he has not appeared in many works. According to his personal statement, then
It’s a hobby!
Although Liang Dong has not won the Best Actor title, he has won several Best Supporting Actor awards, which shows that his acting skills are definitely not bad.
However, Li Yi still couldn't help complaining that Li Mingshan would really find someone for him!
