Chapter 70 Speculation
Hearing about William Conan Boleyn's new movie, everyone in the audience became more serious.

"I hope the organizing committee can understand me. After all, other environments don't have such a big influence." Conan Bolling said first, "My new film is adapted from Mr. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang, one of the world's most famous contemporary playwrights. This hope is to recruit a Chinese actor from all over the world. The requirement is to have the beauty of men and women, especially the beauty of women. The beauty of the face should be reflected on the edge of the knife. In addition, the actor should have the capital opera or opera skills. Thank you again for the tolerance of the Montreal Film Festival, thank you."

Conan Boleyn didn't tell the truth either. In fact, even if it wasn't influence, he would choose to recruit actors in his acceptance speech, just because the Montreal Film Festival is influential, but that's just how influential it is. For example, he didn't dare to The three major players in Europe play this way.

The main reason is that there are many Chinese people participating in the Montreal Film Festival, and the attention in China is also quite high.

As expected by Conan Bolin, the news of the recruitment of male actors at the awards ceremony spread all over the world in an instant, and became popular all over the world.

"William Conan Boleyn became the biggest winner of the Montreal Film Festival Awards Night and revealed plans for a new film." - 21CN Entertainment
"Mr. Butterfly has won the Tony Award for Best Play, and has been selected as a textbook of Western literature in many countries. Is "Mr. Butterfly" + William Conan Boleyn worth looking forward to?" - The Washington Post
"Who's going to be Mr. Conan Boleyn's favorite actor?" - The Hollywood Reporter
……

Conan Bolin tweeted the method of registration. At first, he must have sent his personal performance video to the mailbox.

This news has also been featured on several hot searches on the domestic Internet, #Shi Jin,蝴蝴侯夫#, #蝶蝴夫人,侯国智# and so on.

The smart Huaxia actors have long been ready to catch the heat, type the news first, and if it doesn't work, they can use "Unfortunately, almost" to buy another trending search.

However, Shi Jin and Hou Guozhi are indeed suitable for the audition. Beijing Opera is the English name of Peking Opera, and these two actors, one was born in a Liyuan family, the other has a certain foundation in film and television works related to Peking Opera, and both of them have similar appearances. It's the handsome ones.

Chinese actors have always been keen to go to Hollywood to be gilded. Playing a supporting role in a blockbuster movie can blow flowers.

Right now, it is starring in the work of a world-class director!Even if the box office hits the street in the future, it can become capital to show off. It is no wonder that domestic actors who meet the conditions are gearing up.

"Mr. Butterfly tells such a story." After watching the play, Huang Baiyou found a very legendary story, and what's even more legendary is that there is a prototype.

Summarize the content of the drama in the current words: Who knows the family members, the lover who has lived together for 20 years is a man.

The script is very good, but what satisfies Huang Baiyou is that the script is anti-Orientalism, which is relatively rare.

The term orientalism was defined by the thinker Edward Said, which means that Westerners fabricated "Chinese civilization" for special purposes.At present, what the United States uses cultural hegemony to export to China is the oriental civilization, squinting, pigtails, irrationality, and oppressing women.

Its purpose is to make Chinese civilization an other civilization subordinate to the West, and even many Chinese people think so.

Why can Song Liling, the protagonist of M. Butterfly, easily capture the French diplomat Gallimard?Because Song Liling deliberately behaved like the Chinese women in Jialima's perception.

This kind of "cognition" is the oriental civilization. Huang Baiyou was lost in thought. He must also want to seize this opportunity to raise coffee, but he can't see the script, which means he can't start the reward task.

After three plays, Huang Baiyou can confidently say that he can act, but without the help of reward tasks, it is almost impossible to get a role in this audition mode.

"It's a rare opportunity, you can try..." Huang Baiyou browsed Conan Bolin's tweets, and announced that the deadline for performing a VCR to go to the mailbox is the end of April.

"There are more than two months left, which is plenty of time." Huang Baiyou had a plan slowly taking shape in his mind.

The next day, Huang Baiyou and the crew boarded the return flight.

The ten-hour flight made Huang Baiyou exhausted physically and mentally, but in order to verify his conjecture, he put on his horsepower and fell asleep before returning home. Instead, he contacted a repertory theater troupe from the Internet.

The two sides met at the tea house in DC area, dragged their tired bodies, and had another sip of Pu-erh tea, it was so bitter!

"Hello, Mr. Huang, this is the Lu Yi you played." Leader Liang gave a thumbs up.

"Xiaoqiushan Repertory Theater Troupe is also a powerful troupe." Huang Baiyou is the leader of the boasting group, not to be outdone, and soon began to brag about each other's business.

Xiaoqiushan Repertory Theater is a private repertory troupe, which mainly focuses on experimental dramas. Since they have no business establishment, they can only perform in different places to support themselves.

There are quite a few independent drama clubs in China, but not all of them are in such a tragic situation. For example, there are famous directors who can attract box office, and their life is quite good, such as Lai Shengchuan Studio.

Another example is writing a few funny comedy books, which can also attract a lot of box office.However, Xiaoqiushan Repertory Theater does not have the above two profit models.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the words began to cut to the point.

"Captain Liang, if you were asked to rehearse a play as quickly as possible, how long would it take?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"That depends on what kind of work it is." Leader Liang asked.

"Mr. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang." Huang Baiyou cut to the chase.

"Oh, this drama is very famous. It's been very popular on the Internet recently. There is a foreign director who wants to shoot a movie version." Director Liang suddenly thought, "Ms. Huang also wants to audition for this drama, right?"

"It was mentioned on the Internet, and I also read the book, and I feel very good, so I want to act." Huang Baiyou explained.

"A drama addict? I understand. The pillars of our drama theater, if you don't act for a month or two, you will lose energy in doing anything. It's more annoying than a cigarette addiction." Director Liang calculated, ""Mr. Butterfly" "The whole script should be [-] to [-] words, right? It will take more than a month to figure out how to perform on stage, and I have to trouble Teacher Huang to cooperate with the schedule."

"So when can rehearsal start?" Huang Baiyou asked again.

"After memorizing the lines, we can start rehearsing. Within a week, our actors will be very professional." Director Liang is confident.

"Good."

Then the two began to negotiate the cost.

Huang Baiyou is equivalent to inviting a professional drama troupe to accompany him in a performance of "Mr. Butterfly", and the negotiated fee is 8 Ruanmei coins a month.

"Commander Liang, you can send me Song Liling's script later." Huang Baiyou said.

"I understand this. Teacher Huang needs a sense of ritual." Leader Liang responded with a smile and assured that there would be no problem.

His theatrical rewards are theatrical, not film, so does it include drama?

If it is included, will it be possible to start the reward task for Song Liling in the drama "Mr. Butterfly"!
Although William Conan Boleyn's movie will definitely adapt the original drama, at least in this way, he can win the audition to a large extent. This is Huang Baiyou's special plan!

For this speculation, Huang Baiyou paid 5 Ruanmei coins and [-] popularity points...
