Zhuang Mu's enthusiasm and interest in "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" were somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations.
The next day, Zhuang Mu took the initiative to visit us and visited the Xingman Studio.
After seeing some of the clips that had been produced by Xingman Studio and the rough outline of the script, Zhuang Mu made a quick decision and wanted to book this anime in advance on behalf of Jingnan TV Station!
Compared with CCTV, local satellite TV has greater autonomy in this regard.
And from Zhuang Mu's point of view, he definitely took advantage of this, that is, because "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" has not been completed yet, so it has not been submitted for review. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with him at all.<
/p>
People at CCTV may care about other aspects, but they will definitely take animation works with themes like "That Year of the Rabbit" very seriously.
More importantly, Zhuang Mu was surprised to discover Li Yi's identity.
What is Li Yi’s identity?
Hong Kong film director!
A Hong Kong film director produced animation with this theme.
What does this mean and what does it mean? Zhuang Mu understands it too well.
That's why he was so eager to tell Jingnan TV Children's Channel that he wanted to buy this anime directly.
Li Yi also didn't expect that it would be so easy for "Those Things About That Rabbit" to become a star.
Even before the production was completed, the channel director Zhuang Mu took the initiative to come to the door.
The two parties hit it off immediately.
If possible, of course Li Yi and the others still hope to be on the CCTV Children's Channel, but after all, the uncertainty is too great, so based on the principle of doing more than doing less, and Zhuang Mu is indeed sincere, Li Yi naturally
Will not refuse.
Moreover, this is only the first season.
The animation matter has come to an end, and now we just have to wait for the Star Comics to be completed and then aired online.
Li Yi once again found his mentor Li Mingshan.
What Li Yi didn't expect was that after Li Mingshan read the script of Li Yi's "Cinema Paradiso".
Instead of recommending candidates immediately, he looked disappointed.
Then Li Mingshan looked at Li Yida with a look of relief and said: "Okay, this story is really good!"
"Please submit your film to the Beijing International Film Festival next year!" Li Mingshan said suddenly.
"Hmm? Beijing International Film Festival?" Li Yi was a little confused.
In fact, regarding film festivals and film awards, Li Yi won the Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards before.
It is not unreasonable for those people to say that Li Yi simply took advantage of his reputation as a young director in Hong Kong.
Because Li Yi's past movies, to put it bluntly, are actually more commercial movies. Even "The Story of Hachiko" is said to be a bit literary-oriented, but in fact, it still has strong commercial elements.
Therefore, although Li Yi has a high box office, he has won awards, especially grand prizes, which are really few and far between.
But this time, after reading the script of "Cinema Paradiso", Li Mingshan felt that this movie was completely different from Li Yi's other previous movies.
In addition, he is also a member of the organizing committee of this year’s Beijing International Film Festival, so naturally the wealth does not go to outsiders.
"Yes, okay, just remember. Let's talk about the actors. In fact, I have a ready-made candidate, Chen Jianghe, you should know about it, right?" Li Mingshan didn't say much, but asked with a smile.
"Chen Jianghe? Teacher, do you think he is suitable?" Li Yi was a little surprised.
Don't blame Li Yi for being surprised, because of course he knows Chen Jianghe, a veteran actor in China, and he has won more than one.
The key is that Chen Jianghe can be said to be a banner figure for countless actors in China.
Because he almost never participates in variety shows and is usually very low-key, and he and Chen Wen are completely different types.
Chen Wen is a notoriously difficult actor. He always has too many ideas, which naturally makes him easily unhappy with the director.
But Chen Jianghe is different. Directors who have worked with him almost all have high praise for him.
But what surprised Li Yi was that Chen Jianghe was most famous for his "king and domineering" spirit.
Because almost all of his award-winning plays are of this type.
So over time, people get the impression that he is some kind of emperor, prince, or something like a professional.
Simply put, the impression he shows on the big and small screens is always that of a king or a dominator.
"Hahaha! Do you think my recommendation of Chen Jianghe seems incompatible with the character in your film?" Li Mingshan couldn't help but laugh and asked.
"Yes! Isn't it?" Li Yi asked doubtfully.
"Of course not! The reason why you have such an impression is entirely because he has played more such roles in recent years. In addition, he is the kind of person who plays whatever he wants, so he gives people a sense of
There is an illusion that he can only play the role of princes, generals and ministers, but in fact, there is a reason why I say he is suitable." Li Mingshan shook his head and said.
"You probably don't know that Chen Jianghe first worked as a film projectionist!" Li Mingshan said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Li Yi really doesn't know this.
"Haha, you don't know a lot. Chen Jianghe has played many roles, ranging from emperors and generals to traffickers and pawns. The reason why I recommended him to play this role is because he once had a role as a movie projectionist.
Experience. Do you think this is a kind of fate?" Li Mingshan asked with a smile.
"And it's also good for you to work with veteran actors like Chen Jianghe, you'll know later." Li Mingshan said again, but this time he just hit the mark.
Li Yi understood what Li Mingshan meant. Sometimes if a movie wants to be recognized by a specific group of people, actors are also very important.
For some actors, as long as they act in films, it is very easy not to win awards but to be nominated.
Especially actors like Chen Jianghe and Chen Wen, as long as they appear in a certain movie, and the movie is more literary and artistic, they will naturally be noticed by many film awards and film festivals.
The probability of winning the prize will naturally be much higher!
And why is it that Li Yi is obviously very famous and his box office is even more terrifying, but when it comes to awards, he seems to have no other awards at all except the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.
On the one hand, it is certainly because the film is a commercial film, but on the other hand, it is also because most of the actors Li Yi has worked with are not award-winning professionals!
Li Yi was a little unconvinced at first, but after seeing Chen Jianghe, Li Yi was really surprised.
I am used to Chen Jianghe's "king and domineering" attitude on the big screen, but I didn't expect that in private, Chen Jianghe speaks in a calm and soothing tone, with a sincere smile on his face. There is no trace of him being a prince or general.
Image?
Chen Jianghe and Li Yi talked about their experiences as film projectionists.
Li Yi finally understood why Teacher Li Mingshan said this was a kind of fate.
Because in Chen Jianghe’s description, his exposure to movies and his acting career had a lot to do with that experience.
