Chapter 44: Acting has never been the key to being popular?
The reason why Li Yi asked this question was purely out of curiosity.
Because there were several male artists from Hong Kong who auditioned before, but to be honest, their Mandarin was not as good as a kid named Yu Binbin.
Although this Lin Jinrong is not famous, he speaks Mandarin very well.
"This is because Hong Kong TV stations often co-produce dramas with mainland companies, and most of the dramas are mainly marketed to the mainland, so I thought that Mandarin must be spoken in the mainland, so I usually learn Mandarin when I have time.
If you learn, it will be easier to communicate and act," Lin Jinrong said, scratching his head.
Li Yi nodded, while Zhuo Yixiong and Li Zhenye on the side looked at each other, and they both understood why Wu Ting was considered good in terms of fame and acting skills.
But why does Li Yi not seem to like it?
Now after listening to Lin Jinrong's words, they somewhat understood.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of attitude.
"Your mother disappeared for eighteen years. Eighteen years later, you met her again. She went crazy and didn't remember you. You wanted to wake her up..."
"You can prepare, and you can start when you're done!" Li Yi said.
People are like this sometimes, first impression is very important.
Although Lin Jinrong can be said to be the least famous among the many auditionees and has never even played a leading role, Li Yi had a very good first impression of him.
In Li Yi's opinion, at least Lin Jinrong's attitude is very good.
Speaking of things like language, it seems to be nothing, except dubbing.
But the problem lies in attitude.
Nowadays, the mainland market is the mainstream. Whether it is Hong Kong actors or actors from other places, to put it bluntly, lines are basic skills. We are facing the mainland audience, so learn a little Mandarin to make your lines better, but not too much.
Right?
This is what an actor should do.
Can’t learn? It doesn’t exist!
It’s just to see if you have the heart!
Lin Jinrong took a deep breath. This opportunity was something he finally asked for.
Otherwise, given his status, he would not even get a chance to audition.
So he cherishes this opportunity very much.
Lin Jinrong closed his eyes and began to brew.
One minute, two minutes...Ten minutes passed.
In fact, he has been brewing for a long time, but because he is the last actor to audition today, Li Yi and the other three are more patient.
Finally Lin Jinrong opened his eyes.
"Can we start?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
Lin Jinrong did not speak, but nodded.
Then let the show begin!
He frowned tightly and his face was full of sadness.
Suddenly, he slowly knelt down.
Looking ahead, he reached out and seemed to hold his mother's hand.
"Mom!" The tone was slightly choked.
"Mom! I, I am Xiaorong!"
"Mom!" He also held the invisible hand with his other hand and shouted again!
"I, I'm Xiaorong!" Different from before, he seemed a little excited with this sentence and even shook his hands.
"Mom, I'm Xiaorong!"
"Mom, I'm Xiaorong!"
I repeated this sentence several times in a row.
His hands also moved, as if a crazy mother was struggling.
Then, he let go of his hand with some annoyance and lowered his head!
Then suddenly I remembered something.
He raised his head and looked lovingly at his "mother" in front of him!
"Only mother is good in the world..."
Wait until the show is over.
Li Yi couldn't help but nodded.
To be honest, he was a little surprised. Lin Jinrong was obviously a little-known actor, but he didn't expect that his acting skills were as good as those of some older actors.
Of course, the same Li Yi did not make a decision on the spot.
After Lin Jinrong went out, Li Yicai was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect that he gave me a surprise!"
"But Director Zhuo, are all Hong Kong Island TV artists so outstanding? This Lin Jinrong has a good appearance and quite good acting skills, but in the end, he can only play some not-especially important roles on Hong Kong Island TV. Is it such a luxury?
"Li Yi couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Director Li, this is actually not unusual!" Zhuo Yixiong said with a wry smile.
"How do you say that?" Li Yi said in surprise.
"In fact, Hong Kong Island Television was known as the cradle of stars in Hong Kong in its early days. Many kings and queens came from Hong Kong Island Television."
"There are actually many actors like Lin Jinrong on Hong Kong Island TV stations, but to put it bluntly, Hong Kong Island is only a market about the same size as a prefecture-level city in the Mainland, so whether it is a movie or a TV series, the market is very limited." "There are more monks than meat, and the competition is more intense than in the mainland. Many of them have good conditions, but they can only play supporting roles. Even if they have a job, they are considered good." Zhuo Yixiong sighed.
"Besides, acting skills and appearance have never been the key to whether a celebrity artist can become popular, right?" Zhuo Yixiong said with emotion.
Li Yi understood immediately.
In fact, looking at TVB in the past life, many actors can be said to be of high quality and low price, but it is difficult for them to have any good resources.
You can understand it if you think about it.
"Director Zhuo, dad, which one do you think is suitable?" Li Yi looked at Zhuo Yixiong and his dad, wanting to know their opinions.
"Let's go back to Wu Ting. Wu Ting is famous himself and is a Hong Kong star. If he is used, even if he does not reach a cooperation with the Hong Kong star in terms of distribution, he can still borrow some of the Hong Kong star's publicity resources."
Zhuo Yixiong pondered for a moment and said.
Li Zhenye also nodded and said: "Director Zhuo and I have similar opinions. Apart from not speaking Mandarin well, this Wu Ting can be said to be quite good in other aspects. Moreover, if the person recommended by the Hong Kong star performs well,
, if we don’t use it, I’m afraid Hong Kong Star will have other ideas.”
Li Yi nodded to express his understanding.
"Let's do this. Director Zhuo, please inform Wu Ting. We won't make a decision for the time being. Anyway, it's still some time before the movie starts. Send a character script to Wu Ting. Even if it's a surprise training, ask him to give me those lines.
It's true, if he can do it, this role will be his!"
"Lin Jinrong, let's make an alternative!" Li Yi thought for a while and said.
In fact, although Lin Jinrong seems to be better than Wu Ting in terms of acting, the difference is not particularly big.
But Wu Ting has Hong Kong stars on his back, and he has a certain reputation, which will have a better effect on promoting the movie. Therefore, if Wu Ting can do what he wants, then Li Yi doesn't mind choosing him!<
/p>
But if he can't do it, then Li Yi can only apologize. As for other things, he really doesn't really care.
Zhuo Yixiong and Li Zhenye both nodded in agreement when they heard this. In their opinion, this was indeed a better choice.
As for whether Wu Ting can do it? In their opinion, it shouldn’t be a problem!
Li Yi did not ask Wu Ting to learn Mandarin well in a short period of time. He only asked him to at least say the lines in the movie well even if he memorizes them by rote. But it is really not an excessive request.
