Chapter 349: How about a little ritual of casting?
"You are awesome!" Chen Wen gave Li Yi a thumbs up!
Everyone else also looked at Li Yi in amazement, including Chu Xuexiang, who also stared blankly at Li Yi with her beautiful eyes.
"By the way, I have another movie here. I plan to cooperate with a Hollywood film company to make a co-production. Do you want to watch it and give me some opinions?" Li Yi didn't want to mention this topic anymore, so he changed the topic.
"A co-production?" Chen Wen couldn't help but frown.
"What? Is there any problem?" Li Yi asked doubtfully.
Ji Xianming laughed and said: "He was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, haha!"
"Brother Wen has starred in a big production before, which was also a co-production, but that was the worst time he was scolded!" Lin Yunbin said.
"Co-production, what should I say? It's really difficult to co-produce a movie with Hollywood. Do you want to focus on China or North America? How to choose actors? How to make the background to meet the requirements of a co-production? And how to unfold the plot?"
"Why did you think of making a co-production? It's okay to co-produce with Peninsula. It's too difficult to co-produce with North America." Chen Wen shook his head.
"You guys should read the script first!" Li Yi said and asked Yi Tool Man Mingming to send everyone the script of "A Dog's Purpose".
"Huh? Pet movie?" Chen Wen took the script and was a little surprised when he saw the title.
Then he opened it and started reading.
after awhile.
Everyone has read the script.
"Tsk, tsk, this story is really suitable for a co-production." Chen Wen was the first to read the script and said in amazement.
"It's really true! The only thing is that the background of this movie, if it is a co-production, it must be set in North America!" Lin Yunbin said.
"There is nothing restrictive about that, and not every story has to be set in North America. In fact, the protagonist of this movie has always been a dog, and everyone else is just a supporting role. In the middle stories, the background can be completely changed.
In China." Zhou Guo said disapprovingly.
"With the four reincarnations of dogs, I think it's entirely possible to have a cross-border love affair. Wouldn't that be more interesting?" Chen Wen said suddenly.
"Transnational love? Then how can the dog help its owner find love in the end, crossing the other side of the ocean? Isn't it too outrageous?" Lin Yunbin shook his head immediately.
"Okay! However, this story is indeed quite interesting as a co-production movie!"
Compared to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the actors in "A Dog's Purpose" are not as good as dogs!
Ahem, literally, because this movie unfolds from the perspective of a dog.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" has very high requirements for actors' acting skills, but "A Dog's Purpose" has very high requirements for dogs' acting skills!
And there are several kinds of dogs in "A Dog's Purpose", so this is probably the biggest problem with this movie.
"However, I remember that in your film "The Story of Hachiko," the dog's vision was black, gray, and white. So is your movie going to be shot that way?" Chen Wen raised another question.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "No, it's better to use that perspective occasionally. If you use it for the whole movie, wouldn't it become a black and white film?"
Li Yiting liked this feeling. Everyone spoke freely without any worries.
"Hey, it's quite lively! Who found such a good place?" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
"Forehead?"
Then everyone was a little dumbfounded.
The next moment, Chen Wen and others couldn't help laughing.
Because, what appeared in front of Li Yi and the others was a "greasy monk" with a bright forehead.
The key is, this monk's face is shiny.
"No, I said Dashu, your performance as a monk is quite interesting. Is this because you are putting oil on your face?" Chen Wen asked, holding back his laughter.
"The poor monk's Dharma name is unforgivable! Amitabha!"
"That's a good name! Hahaha! Look, after taking off his monk's clothes, he looks like a middle-aged greasy man!" Chen Wen looked at Li Yi and said.
Li Yi nodded and held back his laughter: "It's just too oily!"
Isn't that right? For others, "glossy" is an adjective, but he means it literally!
Really shiny!
"Let me introduce to you, this is Li Yi, Director Li, he is the one who organized today's round! This is Yang Shu, by the way, I forgot to tell you, this guy is also a true experience actor, haha!"
Chen Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Yi couldn't help but smile a little. He knew why Chen Wen was laughing so hard that he was out of breath, because when he thought about it, Yang Shu had played the role of Duck before, as well as a female ticket holder.
"Director Li, I have admired you for a long time. Don't listen to his nonsense. I came here in a hurry from the set!" Yang Shu glared at Chen Wen and then said to Li Yida in a rather embarrassed tone.
"Are you playing the role of a meat-and-wine monk?" Li Yi asked curiously.
As a result, Yang Shu shook his head and said: "It's really not the case!"
"Then what you're wearing..." Li Yi was immediately puzzled.
"I'm playing a fake monk, isn't that all?" Yang Shu spread his hands and said.
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Then your face is too oily, isn't it?" Chen Wen couldn't help but asked again.
"Hey, it's not like I gained weight too fast and left side effects. I can't sweat too much. It just happens when I sweat!" Yang Shu said helplessly.
"Okay, no more joking, something good is coming for you. Director Li's new movie only needs the male lead. If you are willing to come, we will do the matching for you and let you experience the role of the male lead.
Pleasure!" Chen Wen said, handing the script to Yang Shu.
Yang Shu didn't rush to wipe the "oil" off his face, stretched out his hand to wipe it on his body, and then took the script and started reading it.
The more he looked, the more surprised the expression on Yang Shu's face became.
Finally, he raised his head and said, "Is this role really for me?"
He looked at Li Yi.
"Your appearance is quite suitable!" Li Yi said with a smile.
The poplar tree is really suitable!
So greasy!
And for those who can win the Grand Slam for Best Supporting Actor in terms of acting skills, their acting skills must be the least to worry about!
"No, is it too fast? Is it missing a bit of a sense of ceremony? I've never played the leading role before!" Yang Shu sat down and asked.
"You are just talking nonsense, you have never played a good leading actor!" Chen Wen immediately exposed his background.
"It's hard to be tough! Director Li really doesn't have a sense of ritual in selecting the leading actor? Why don't you show some interest?" Yang Shu also looked at Li Yidao with great interest.
"Haha, okay, then tell me what you think about this character!" Li Yi said with a smile. He was also curious whether Yang Shu would say something different...
Yang Shu rarely suppressed the smile on his face.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I feel that from beginning to end, Cheng Yong is just a very vulgar ordinary person!"
His words immediately surprised everyone.
In Li Yi's memory, there are many comments about this movie, among which the interpretation of the male protagonist Cheng Yong is the most, but no one has given such an answer!
