Chapter 427: A horror film that looks like a comedy but is actually a tragedy
Li Yi used this story to explain what whimsy is.
Use this story to declare your "talent"!
Why add quotation marks? Anyone who understands understands!
But that doesn't stop everyone from admiring him.
Including Li Yi's mentor, Li Zhanshan couldn't put it down even after holding the script.
Because from the creativity, to the story line, to the final ending, this script only leaves people with a deep sense of shock!
"Is your scalp numb?" Chen Wen scratched his head and asked.
"I think if this movie is made and released, people who have watched the movie will probably become sensitive to cameras for a long time. No one wants to have their every move monitored, but who dares to say that, we people
, not Truman?" Chen Wen exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Yi, oh, no, Director Li, what do you think of me playing the leading role?" Chen Wen asked with eyes shining.
Zhou Guo opened her mouth and glared at Chen Wen with an annoyed look on her face, as if you were a bastard and you were the first to beat her.
Everyone else also looked at Li Yi.
For an actor, what could be more satisfying than starring in a movie that shocks you?
And he also really likes this "The Truman Show"!
It's a pity that Chen Wen is so shameless. He just takes the lead. He's still the Best Actor and a Grand Slam winner. Do you want to have some face?
However, the next moment, Li Yi looked at Chen Wen and frowned slightly.
But Li Yi shook his head: "Brother Q, are you not suitable for Truman!"
"No, why am I not suitable?" Chen Wen said angrily.
Others couldn't help but smile with gloating smiles.
"I think Brother Qian, you are more suitable for the role of behind-the-scenes director!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Then he looked at the others and said, "Do you think this is correct?"
Zhou Guo couldn't help but laughed and said, "I think there's nothing wrong with it at all. Where did Brother Wen throw the pestle? He's like the mastermind behind the scenes who has everything under control!"
"As soon as Director Li said it, the picture really came out immediately." Chu Xuexiang covered her mouth and laughed.
"It's indeed suitable!" Li Zhanshan couldn't help but smile a little.
"Look, the people's eyes are sharp!" Li Yi spread his hands and said.
"Ahhhhh! I'm so angry. I am a great actor, but in your movie, I can only play some villains, gigolos and the like. When can I play the leading role!" Chen
Ask exaggeratedly.
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Don’t mention it, it’s really like that.
In the original "Garland Under the Mountain", Chen Wen played Jin Kailai, and he could only be regarded as the third male lead.
In "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Chen Wen played Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit medicine dealer, who was considered a villain.
Then in "Artificial Intelligence", he played the second male lead as a robot gigolo.
As a result, a top actor has always only played a supporting role in Li Yi's movies.
This time in "The Truman Show", Li Yi wanted him to play the role of director behind the scenes.
Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Chen Wen.
But not to mention, Chen Wen is indeed not suitable for the role of Truman. It's not that his acting skills are not good, but his style is inconsistent with Li Yi's ideas.
Chen Wen is full of aura!
Jin Kailai, this character may look like a gangster, but in fact, he has a very strong aura!
Zhang Changlin is a counterfeit medicine dealer, and when he faced the interrogation scene, he was also full of aura.
The artificial intelligence gigolo robot, although he is a robot, he has always been extremely confident with women...
But Truman is not like this.
"Okay, so it seems you already have someone in mind? But I'm curious, who is it?" Chen Wen looked at Li Yi and asked.
Others also looked at Li Yi curiously.
Li Yi touched his nose and said, "What do you think of Zhou Xing?"
"Zhou Xing?"
This answer can be said to be something that no one has thought of.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Xing's performance in "The King of Comedy", not to mention Truman's character brought into The Truman World, seems to be really suitable.
"Comedy style?" Chen Wen asked.
Li Yi nodded: "Yes, after you have read the script, it should not be difficult to find that this is a film with a comedy style as its main tone and background. As for the male protagonist Truman, I also need him to have elements of comedy.
"
"I think Zhou Xing is quite suitable."
If you think about it carefully, this is really the case.
It can be said that to some extent, "The Truman Show" is actually similar to "The King of Comedy".
"The King of Comedy" presents comedy in a tragic way.
It makes people laugh and make them want to cry.
The movie is titled as the King of Comedy, and the ending can be considered quite "dreamish"!
But in fact, this is a complete tragedy.
And what about "The Truman Show"?
Looking at the entire story, it is not difficult to find that the main tone and background of this movie is indeed comedy.
Even though Truman later fought to leave this world and succeeded, this movie was always an extremely terrible tragedy.
The Truman series is in sharp contrast with its artificial and exaggerated characters. Although they are all optimistic images, I always feel that the characters have more different angles. This is the final joy of the tragic clues of the whole story.
The ending can also be said to show tragedy in a comedic way.
Therefore, there are indeed great similarities with "The King of Comedy" in this aspect.
Zhou Xing's performance in "The King of Comedy" was definitely top-notch, so in "The Truman Show", in fact, everything Truman did was just like Yin Tianchou? He was always struggling?
From this point of view, Zhou Xing’s style is indeed very suitable for this movie!
"Smelly junior brother, in the next movie, in the next movie, I must give your senior brother a leading role! Do I, Chen Wen, don't want to lose face?" Chen Wen said with a face that was filled with grief and despair.
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Of course, Chen Wenzhen wants to play the leading role, and there are many film contracts.
It's just that for an actor of Chen Wen's level, he can't even watch ordinary movies.
Why is he always willing to play a supporting role in Li Yi's movies?
Isn't it because the stories in Li Yi's movies always make him unable to stop.
At this time, such things as sky-high price product placement and the like have long been thrown out of the window.
Everyone who read the script didn't care about this, and they weren't worried about Li Yi overturning at all. It can even be said that these companies have really made money!
Because this movie is destined to leave a profound mark in the history of film.
It may even become a true classic.
Even though 420 million seems like a lot, if "The Truman Show" becomes a classic, then the benefits that these companies will get are definitely not what 420 million can achieve.
Because classics will be mentioned from time to time, revisited and discussed from time to time!
This is where the greatest value lies!
