Everyone was eating barbecue and drinking beer together, and naturally they started talking about Li Yi's new movie.
In the movie "Artificial Intelligence", the other adult characters are actually pretty good.
But the role of the young male protagonist is a problem.
Because of this movie, it can be said that the role of the young male protagonist occupies the largest part of the movie.
The requirements for acting skills are also very high.
Originally, Li Yi wanted to continue using Binbin, but Yu Binbin had entered a period of rapid development, and his age was not suitable.
In fact, there are many young actors in China, but there are really not many who can really take the lead.
"This has a lot to do with the fact that there are relatively few domestic films with child protagonists!" Chen Wen said.
Domestic movies like "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "Mom Love Me Again" are actually quite rare.
This has led to the fact that in Hollywood, you can find that many of their child stars are as famous as those big Hollywood stars, but in China, there are very few truly top-notch "child stars"!
Especially for the movie "Artificial Intelligence", the acting requirements for young actors are higher than those of the previous "The Gift of Room 7" or "Mom Love Me Again".
Because whether it's "The Gift of Room 7" or "Mom Love Me Again", in fact, although there are two protagonists, one big and one small, in fact, they are more biased towards adults.
For example, the protagonist of "The Gift of Room No. 7" is actually a father in a more significant sense.
And "Mom Love Me Again" is almost the same.
"Artificial Intelligence" is different. In this movie, it can be said that although the mother in it can be regarded as the protagonist, this role is not the core existence of the entire movie. It is said to be the protagonist, but in fact it is only the most important role in the scene.
Important female character.
There is only one real protagonist, and that is the artificial intelligence robot child!
"I'm having a headache because of this. If I really can't find a suitable one, I have to change my original plan and find one in Hollywood." Li Yi was quite helpless about this.
In fact, many people have introduced some young actors, but there are indeed very few young actors who are as spiritual and talented as Yu Binbin.
Many young actors are actually born because of their family background. To put it simply, most of them are second-generation celebrities, or one of their parents is an actor.
However, the development of young actors in China is actually very restricted.
Because most of the time, they rarely play major roles in mainstream movies, at most they play minor supporting roles.
Currently, the roles that Li Yi has settled on include Wen Qing, the mother of the heroine, starring a Chinese actor, and the other supporting actor, who has a lot of roles, as a robot gigolo, given to Chen Wen.
And the rest, the father's role, must go to Hollywood.
In terms of child actors, Li Yi’s initial consideration was to use a child from China for the male lead and a Hollywood actor for the other child.
"Actually, I always feel that your story is not so much the story of a robot looking for maternal love, but more of a story of a child who lacks love and longs for maternal love." Chen Weijie suddenly said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Chen Weijie.
Chen Wen thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded: "This statement is true!"
Everyone nodded involuntarily, expressing their approval of Chen Weijie's statement.
Because, indeed, to put it bluntly, this movie is just a shell of a robot. In fact, when a robot has emotions, what is the difference between it and a human?
The fact is that the entire movie is actually based on real people.
"If you think about it this way, Li Yi, I think this role may be more suitable for a Hollywood child actor." Chen Wen added.
"What's the reason?" Li Yi was noncommittal.
Everyone looked at Chen Wen.
"First of all, we need to know that our Chinese child actors, our Chinese child actors, to be honest, their family conditions are actually quite good. Don't you deny this?" Chen Wen said.
Li Yi and others all agreed upon hearing this.
Because this is indeed the case in China, because China and North America are completely different, especially in terms of how parents treat their children.
Most of the time, maybe in Hollywood, when it comes to children acting, they think it is a career.
But in China, most of the time, it is just regarded as a hobby.
And for children who can become actors, their family conditions are not bad.
"In other words, our Chinese child actors rarely live in families that lack maternal love or family affection, because if they lack these, it is impossible for them to become young actors at all!" Chen Wen added.
What he said is true. If you look at the child actors in China, every one of them has a good background, and parents rarely regard their children as cash cows.
"Another issue is the birth of actors. In fact, many domestic child stars are the product of accidents, or they become actors after being influenced by others. We do not have acting classes or other education for children, at least very few.
But it's different in Hollywood. They also have very professional acting courses for child actors. Many of Hollywood's famous child stars are artificially trained.
For example, I believe everyone knows about the most famous child star in Hollywood, Wright. Even if he is not a top-tier actor, he is definitely a heavyweight who cannot be underestimated.
The reason why he has almost disappeared now is because he chose to withdraw from the circle when he was at his peak, and the reason why he quit the circle was because of his family who were like hungry wolves.
In China, we attach great importance to blood relationships. Even if many of us get divorced, we must consider the feelings of our children. Especially for families with children, the divorce rate is very low. However, in North America, the divorce rate is too high.
Therefore, many Hollywood child stars are actually synonymous with "family misfortune." It may be difficult to find the kind of child stars who lack love in China, but in Hollywood, you can easily find them!"
"So, I think we might consider looking for Hollywood child actors to play this role. In many cases, they can even perform in their own right."
After listening to Chen Wen's words, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.
Perhaps, in another world, if this movie was made, it would be hard to say that it was not alluding to this phenomenon!
David is a robot. After his emotional module was activated, he fell in love with his mother, but he also longed for maternal love.
Isn’t it the same as many children who lack love?
What child doesn't want to have a mother who loves him/her?
It is difficult for children with happy families to experience this feeling.
Therefore, Chen Wen’s suggestion is indeed very valuable!
ps: Routine request for subscription! The sales continue to be miserable. I went out in the morning and had a severe stomachache. As a result, a public toilet I knew the location of was moved. It was the first time I found that my stomachache was so painful that I almost fainted! This is the first time I have it.
Such a feeling!
So, a warning to everyone, be sure to know the locations of several public toilets when you go out!
