tearjerker director

Chapter 46
Neither Li Yi nor Zhuo Yixiong expected that this Wu Ting was exactly the same as last time, without any change at all.

It's still that crappy Hong Kong Pu with one mouthful.

If such a request was not specifically made, then there would be no problem, but the problem is that Li Yi had already asked Zhuo Yixiong to tell them his request.

But the result, that's it?
After Wu Ting sang "Only Mom Is Good in the World", he noticed that Li Yi and Zhuo Yixiong's faces were a little serious, and they were immediately at a loss.

"Mr. Wu, I remember that I told you Director Li's request half a month ago. Is this the answer you gave?" Zhuo Yixiong asked seriously.

"Ah? Director Zhuo, is there something wrong with my singing? I already remember the lines of the characters in the script very well." Wu Ting looked at a loss.

"What's the use of being familiar with it? I remember telling you clearly that Director Li's films are mainly aimed at the mainland market, so the lines must be in Mandarin, and Director Li's films will use the original soundtrack of the language, so let you No matter what method is used, at least the lines should be spoken accurately in Mandarin, do you think you sang accurately just now?" Zhuo Yixiong looked at Wu Ting and questioned.

Wu Ting's face turned blue and purple.

On the one hand, he understood the problem, but on the other hand, being questioned by Zhuo Yixiong on the spot made him very annoyed.

At least Wu Ting hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the agent Lin Mei who found something wrong quickly interjected: "Director Li, Director Zhuo, we Wu Ting must have misunderstood, but it's just the lines. The scenes that Wu Ting has filmed, including Wu Junming The director's films have always been dubbed, and Director Li's film should not follow the line of literature and art, so there is no need to insist on using the original sound, right?"

No wonder Lin Mei would say this, because in fact, most of the current domestic movies use dubbing, which is actually normal, unless they are going to apply for some movie awards, then there will be requirements on whether the movie has an original soundtrack.

Whether it's Lin Mei or Wu Ting, they obviously didn't understand the problem.

Moreover, Lin Mei's words also made Li Yi a little annoyed.

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Sorry, I don't know what the other directors are asking for, but here, I made a request, you can just say it if you can't do it, but since you have already agreed, sorry, obviously Mr. Wu didn't even agree with my request. None of the minimum standards were met, so here we go today!"

To be honest, Li Yi was actually quite disappointed.

He didn't expect that how to speak lines is also a basic skill that actors must master. An actor like Wu Ting, who is considered to be famous, would pay so little attention to it. The key point is that he obviously doesn't think there is any problem.

Even his agent insinuated that Li Yi's request was too much.

Even director Wu Junming doesn't have such high requirements. You, a director who has only made one blockbuster movie, have higher requirements than a well-known director like Wu Junming.

Li Yi has always felt that lines are often more important than acting skills.

You can't let people like Hu Bayi speak with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, right?

Make people play every minute, okay?No matter how good your acting skills are, it's useless!

In the same way, dubbing is indeed an option, but the problem is that dubbing and original sound, among other things, movements, mouth shapes, and body language are all easy to create a situation where the play does not match.

That way, at least the quality of the movie would drop a notch.

This is unacceptable to Li Yi!
After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhuo Yixiong was left behind with a sigh.

Lin Mei also came back to her senses, she frowned and asked, "Director Zhuo, what does Director Li mean? It's just because you can't speak Mandarin well, so..."

"Miss Lin, wait, what do you mean just because you can't speak Mandarin well? Do you think this is just a small problem? Lines are the basic skills of actors, right? I remember that Chen Weijie specially trained for a long time in order to speak well. Many old Hong Kong actors, even if they can’t speak Mandarin well, at least they can at least speak their lines well even if they memorize their lines by rote.”

"Why can't it work when you come to Wu Sheng? Director Li's father, Li Zhenye is also from Hong Kong, but in "The Gift of Room No. [-]", his lines may not be up to standard, but at least, there is no need for dubbing, and Wu Sheng , In half a month, we don't ask you to be accurate, but you must at least let us see your efforts? But what about the result? I guess, you may not have taken it to heart at all. In this case, Then it's better not to cooperate!" Zhuo Yixiong was also very annoyed.

Because Li Yi asked him to do this matter, but in the end Wu Ting didn't do any work at all. Didn't he just ignore his words?

"I'm sorry, I let you all go for nothing!" Zhuo Yixiong calmed down and said.

The meaning of seeing off guests is obvious.

Wu Ting's face was extremely gloomy. He had never been questioned face to face like this.

Even He Tiancheng, the boss of Hong Kong Star, has always been amiable.

Moreover, Wu Ting has also worked with directors who are bigger than Li Yi, and they have not gone too far like Li Yi.

After Wu Ting angrily left Li Yi's studio with Lin Mei and the lawyer.

Lin Mei immediately called the boss He Tiancheng's mobile phone.

"Director Li, this is Wu Ting." After Wu Ting and the others left, Zhuo Yixiong found Li Yi and said bitterly.

"It's just that he was interrupted by Li Yi before he finished speaking: "Director Zhuo, do you also think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill? "

"That's not true. This Wu Ting is really outrageous. If we didn't make a request, it would be fine, but he didn't care about it at all. That's the problem. However, he is still an artist of Hong Kong Star. It was basically finalized before, and now the temporary replacement will let Hong Kong Star." Zhuo Yixiong hesitated.

At this moment, Li Yi's cell phone rang.

At first glance, Li Yi turned out to be He Tiancheng, the boss of Hong Kong Star.

It's so fast!
"He Sheng, hello!" Li Yi answered the phone.

"Director Li, the artists under his banner are ignorant, have they delayed the progress of Director Li's film?" He Tiancheng said.

Not only did he not intend to ask the teacher to inquire about the crime, but he was concerned about whether Li Yi's movie would be affected.

I have to say, an old fox is an old fox.

"Thank you, He Sheng, for your concern. I can't say that the artist is ignorant, or maybe there is a communication problem. Originally, even for He Sheng's sake, I hoped to use Hong Kong star artists, but now I want to avoid delaying the progress of the film. , So, I can only say sorry to He Sheng." Li Yi blocked He Tiancheng's words directly.

He Tiancheng smiled and said, "Since this is the case, why not give the young man another chance to make up for his mistakes?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said: "He Sheng, you know, I am also walking on thin ice. After all, I just got into a movie by chance. I can't afford to lose this movie, so I hope He Sheng can understand."

"Understand, understand, then I wish Director Li's movie a big hit." He Tiancheng hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Obviously, Li Yi's lack of face has already offended He Tiancheng.
