Chapter 1,554 The princess plays the role of the princess?
The plot of "Roman Holiday" is actually not much to talk about, and the filming was not difficult, but the biggest problem lies in the male and female protagonists.
First of all, because there are original filters, it is really difficult for Li Yi to find a suitable candidate from the current entertainment industry.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the times.
"Roman Holiday" was released in the last century. At that time, society was not as impetuous as today's society, and people still believed in love.
Similarly, probably only in that era can such female stars be born.
But in today's general environment, it can be said that among the female celebrities nowadays, it is really difficult to find one with that kind of clean temperament.
Maybe some people will say, wouldn't it be enough to find an amateur?
But the world environment is like this, and the social environment is like this, so how easy is it?
This movie must be a co-production.
As for actors, Li Yi has no idea at the moment, especially actresses.
So Li Yi can only cast a wide net to catch more fish. Although it is difficult to find someone like Audrey Hepburn, the world itself is also different.
"Lee, your requirements are too harsh! Can you lower your requirements?" James Dean frowned.
Because the Princess Anne described by Li Yi was so perfect, it gave him a headache as he wondered if he could find a suitable candidate.
"No, no, no, you know, the key to this story lies in the heroine. If I can't find a suitable heroine, then I would rather not film it." Li Yi shook his head.
"OK, you are the director, you have the final say! Then we can only expand the search scope." James Dean spread his hands.
Of course he also knows that this story is not really exciting, and the heroine, Princess Anne, is the most important thing.
The world has yet to see a movie that is regarded as a love bible, and he also never thought that "Roman Holiday" would become a classic.
After all, just looking at the story script, it is difficult to imagine that such a story will become a classic.
It is difficult to say whether it is the movie that makes the actor or the actor that makes the movie, but Li Yi still hopes to try his best to find a suitable actor. He does not ask for the other person to be comparable to Audrey Hepburn, but at least it cannot be worse.
too much.
"Roman Holiday" quickly began a large-scale audition for the heroine.
Li Yi's current reputation can be said to be second to none in the world. Therefore, after the news came out, female stars from Hollywood and even Europe, Asia and other places flocked to her.
It's a pity that, just as Li Yi thought before, among the female celebrities who have already entered the industry, there is really no suitable one.
It's not that they are not beautiful enough, but that they have lost their innocence after being dyed in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry.
And what Li Yi needs is exactly that innocence.
Some people say that Audrey Hepburn is the eternal Hepburn, and "Roman Holiday" is also the eternal Roman Holiday.
Because of this, the film cannot be reproduced at all.
In fact, playing the role of a princess is not difficult. What is difficult?
The hard thing is to perform the princess that people think of, not the real princess!
All over the world, the talent scouts under Dean Films started to look for the "princess" of Li Yi's dream.
Dean Films even issued a reward of one million dollars to find the princess actress in "Roman Holiday".
There are hundreds of thousands of receipts received and lists of recommended people.
There are many beauties in this world, not to mention the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, but none of them can catch my eye.
Without him, Li Yi's requirements for this role are too high.
It was so high that he himself didn't know what kind of actress to find to play this role.
In fact, if there was no Audrey Hepburn as the original Princess Anne, it might be easier, but because the impression of the original version was so deep-rooted, it actually gave him difficulty in choosing.
A month has passed, and there are many people who have auditioned. It can be said that those who can make it to the final audition are all outstanding, but there is still no one who can satisfy Li Yi.
Seeing that "Roman Holiday" was about to be produced, James Dean suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Lee, I have a candidate who might be able to meet your requirements!" James Dean said.
"James, why are you talking now?" Li Yi was speechless.
"I'm sorry, it's because her identity is so special that it's almost impossible for her to appear in a movie!" James Dean said.
"You won't tell me that the person you are talking about is also a princess?" Li Yi asked suddenly.
"You guessed it right! She is indeed a real princess. I have met many royal princesses, but that one really impressed me the most. If anyone is like the one you described in "Roman Holiday"
As for Princess Anne in it, I think she might be the closest!" James Dean said.
There are still royal families and princesses in many countries in Europe.
However, Li Yi really didn't know much.
This actually made him a little curious.
"Oh? Who is it?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"Princess Estella!" said James Dean.
After hearing this, Li Yi had a question mark on his forehead, who is this?
To be honest, Li Yi is really confused about the names of people in Western countries.
"The little princess of the forest kingdom!" said James Dean.
Li Yi immediately knew which country it was. In fact, there were many royal families in Europe, and naturally there were many princesses.
But Li Yi has never seen it.
"Do you have any photos of her?" Li Yi asked.
"Of course!" James Dean quickly took out his mobile phone and found the photo of Princess Estella.
Although photos cannot represent real people, sometimes you can tell something from photos.
The next moment, Li Yi's eyes lit up. Why?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because this princess is indeed very beautiful. Of course, she does not look like Audrey Hepburn, but her temperament is very similar. On the contrary, she looks similar
Another actress from another world in Li Yi's memory.
"Tell me about this princess." Li Yi became interested.
"Princess Estela, as the son of the royal family, she is of noble birth and outstanding appearance. She is a proud daughter of heaven. She is proficient in ballet, opera, piano, and horse riding. She was once called the "princess among princesses"....
..”
From James Dean's description, Li Yi became quite interested in this princess whom he had never met before. Of course, whether the other party is suitable or not is a matter of debate. The key point is that the other party's identity, even if the other party is suitable, may not be suitable.
It is also difficult to actually come and shoot a movie.
Although today's royal princesses are no longer as noble and mysterious as in the past, in fact, it can still be said that almost no real "princess" will act in movies.
Even though movies have a high status in this world, in fact, actors are still called "actors" by some people!
"Is it possible to invite her to star?" Li Yi can say that the current Princess Estella is indeed the most suitable one until there is no other better candidate.
Because through James Dean's description, this princess is somewhat similar to Princess Anne in the movie.
As for the other party's acting skills, it's not a problem at all. He is acting in his true colors.
"If it were her, I think it might be possible, but as you know, her identity means that she is destined to be unable to make her own decisions," James Dean said.
"Oh? Why do you say that? Will she be willing to star in it?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"Yes, although I don't know much about her, she is indeed the kind of person who is full of curiosity about everything. Otherwise, she would not have learned so many things and become proficient in everything." James Dee
En said.
In fact, of course he also wanted to invite a real princess to act in this movie. This gimmick alone was enough to make the movie a hit before it was even made.
Although it seems that everyone is not very interested in the so-called royal princess, in fact, a princess is a princess, no matter what country she is from.
What's more, this can be said to be unprecedented.
"Then what do you think she did?" Li Yi rolled his eyes and said angrily.
It's better not to say anything.
"There is a saying in your Chinese country that everything depends on your own efforts, right? I think maybe we can send her a copy of the script first! You know, this Princess Estella also has opera among her hobbies, and she even once
I secretly went on stage to perform, so..." James Dean said and winked at Li Yi.
Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not to mention, it’s really exciting.
If a princess could be secretly kidnapped and a movie made, it would definitely be something worth remembering.
After all, such opportunities are really rare.
"However, I think the script alone is not enough!" James Dean said.
"It's not enough! In fact, I have a picture of Princess Anne here, but I'm afraid I can't find such a person in reality!" Li Yi thought for a while and said.
Soon, Li Yi found paper and pen and started drawing on it.
The painting he painted was none other than Audrey Hepburn's Princess Anne.
In another world, the image of the lost angel, Audrey Hepburn, appeared on the page.
Li Yi painted several pictures in a row. Thanks to his art skills, although his paintings were not top-notch, he was able to reproduce the characters.
"It's really... special!" James Dean picked up the painting, looked at it, and said after a long time.
"Her facial features are not perfect, but I don't know why, but they give people the feeling of an angel in the world. Now I understand why you turned a blind eye to those people! Her temperament is so perfect. This world
Is there really such a person?" James Dean couldn't help but ask.
Li Yi smiled.
He doesn't know either.
Perhaps Audrey Hepburn's aura was more praised by later generations, but what you have to say is that she has that kind of charm that makes people unforgettable at first sight.
Her facial features are indeed not perfect, and her figure is not top-notch, but the word Hepburn has become synonymous with "beauty". Why is this?
Maybe everyone has a different perspective, but without exception, no one denies that she is synonymous with true beauty.
"What do you think about adding this?" Li Yi asked.
"Try it, after all, we are not princesses!" James Dean shrugged.
Soon, James Dean sent "Roman Holiday" and the portrait of Princess Anne painted by Li Yi to the hands of Princess Estella through the channels of the Dean Group.
...
"Are you sure you're not joking?" When they learned that Li Yi wanted to hire a real princess to play Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", both Chen Wen and Zhou Guo looked in disbelief.
"Holy shit, shit! Can I really invite you?"
"Princess starring as princess? Impossible, right?"
No wonder they think so. As mentioned before, although princesses seem to be less mysterious and aloof these days, in fact, princesses are princesses.
Even if there are almost no monarchy countries nowadays, the royal family is often a mascot, but it is a force!
Moreover, throughout the history of movies, there has never been such a situation!
"Not sure yet!" Li Yi shook his head.
"Then you are talking nonsense!" Chen Wen couldn't help but complain.
"How's it going, Lao Zhou? Are you feeling any pressure? Why don't you just leave it to me?" Chen Wen said with some emotion.
Just kidding, for a director, it may not be a big deal, but for an actor, being able to fall in love with a princess, even in a movie, is enough to keep him bragging for a lifetime.
So even though I know that I am too old and my face does not look tender, I still can’t stand it!
"Fuck you, how old are you to be embarrassed?" Zhou Guo retorted.
"However, the pressure is really great!" Zhou Guo said.
Can there be less pressure?
Princess, although it’s just acting, but what the hell, it’s love!
In fact, at this moment, Princess Estella in the palace thousands of miles away is struggling.
Without him, she was tempted.
It's so interesting to play a princess. The key is the story of "Roman Holiday", which makes her yearn for it.
She even felt that this story was created just for her.
Because she is a princess! It can be said that her status requires her to undergo countless etiquette trainings since she was a child. She also needs to pay attention to those red tapes and not make any mistakes.
Not to mention the man who wandered alone in the noisy streets of Rome and met a secular gentleman.
She has also dreamed countless times, as described in the story script:
Sharing an apartment with a strange man for the first time
I bought a pair of sandals that I like for the first time
For the first time, I boldly and decisively cut off my long hair.
For the first time, I didn’t have to worry about my image, sitting in the square eating a cone...
How enviable!
It can be said that there is no difference between her and Princess Anne. She has everything except freedom.
The more lacking something is, the more desirable it is!
