China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 502 Are you going to let me play the bad guy again?

"Can someone like me still be considered a good seedling with potential? Is the standard for a good seedling too low? I have always been a poor student."

Naza was greatly surprised.

In the assessment before entering Beijing Film Academy, her performance was relatively poor.

When studying in school, she was also one of the students with the slowest comprehension.

"If you were placed in an ordinary school, you would indeed be a poor student, not a good candidate.

It’s different in film academies. Students studying acting in the film department all have dreams of becoming actors, and those who can enter the entertainment industry will do so.

From this perspective, people like you are definitely a good candidate.

Because there are two standards for measuring whether a person is a good candidate in the actor profession, namely appearance and acting skills.

People are very realistic. They are visual animals and they like beautiful things.

In the early stages of an actor's career, appearance is far more important than acting skills.

If a person is good-looking, the probability of becoming famous is obviously more than an order of magnitude higher.

Just look at how many people with good acting skills have been acting for more than ten years but still have no fame. "

Li Yu explained.

Just look at Zhang Yi and you will know. Is Zhang Yi’s acting bad?
If Li Yu hadn't asked him to act in "Operation Nujiang River", he would have had to wait for several more years before he could make his mark.

If Zhang Yi had an ordinary face like Gu Tianle when he debuted, wouldn't he have become famous long ago with his ability?
Similarly, there are those veteran actors in "In the Name". Their combined pay is not as much as that of a young actor or a young actress.

Most of them only gained people's attention after the broadcast of "In the Name".

I can only say that appearance is really important, especially in the entertainment industry.

After hearing what Li Yu said, Naza nodded as if he understood.

"Director Li, please come in. I hope my Investiture of the Gods can bring you some surprises."

The national teacher looked at the time and felt that it was about time.

"I have reason to believe this. You asked a beauty like Naza from New Province to play Daji. You must want to create a different Daji."

Li Yu said with anticipation.

His expectation was not pretended; he really had some expectation.

Naza’s acting skills are well-known for their good looks.

Her acting skills have been criticized since her debut.

It just so happens that the national master is a director who is very good at training actresses.

So the question is, how will Na Zha perform in the film directed by Guo Shi? Will "Feng Shen" become her peak work as soon as she debuts?

With so many suspense, it's hard for Li Yu not to be excited.

After the National Master, Fei Xiang and Nazha left, Teacher Li Xuejian chatted with Li Yu for a while.

"Director Li, the Chinese version of Game of Thrones you shot is amazing. If there is a suitable role, please contact me and I will definitely be there."

Li Xuejian and Li Yu have worked together.

In "Man Jiang Hong", he played Qin Hui, who was servile and fawning in front of the Jin people, and then attacked famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in front of the Song people.

His performance as Qin Hui was simply amazing.

Let me put it this way, when he played Song Jiang in the 98 version of "Water Margin", he was just warned by his fellow villagers in Heze, Shandong Province not to return to his hometown, and they would beat him to death if they saw him returning.

Fortunately, in recent years, martial virtues among the people are not as abundant as before.

Otherwise, Li Xuejian would be afraid to return to Shandong Province after playing the role of Qin Hui, and it might not be safe to stay north of the Huai River in China.

Because the Qin Hui he played said this line in the movie: "Southerners go south, and northerners go north."

He said that the background of this line was to persuade Zhao Gou and the courtiers and generals of the Southern Song Dynasty not to talk about recovering the lost territories and returning them to the old capital.

The area north of the Huai River was occupied by the Jin people, and that was their territory. Even if there were people and wealthy people in the north who missed the Song Dynasty and were willing to move their families, in order not to anger the Jin people, these people from the north should be returned to them.

This character is ten, a hundred, a thousand times more hated than Song Jiang.

Song Jiang only led the Liangshan heroes into a ditch, and eighty to ninety percent of the people in Liangshan were scum who killed and robbed people, and the real heroes could be counted on ten fingers.

Qin Hui killed thousands of real heroes and countless innocent people.

At that time, Li Xuejian hadn't played such a bad role for many years.

I have to say, I felt really excited after the performance.

Because of his Qin Hui, I heard that an art museum that erected a standing statue of Qin Hui was closed down due to people's criticism, and the voices whitewashing Qin Hui on the Internet have also weakened a lot.

For an actor, playing a role that makes a positive contribution to society is a sense of accomplishment.

Now, having tasted success in "Man Jiang Hong", Li Xuejian is thinking about continuing his collaboration with Li Yu.

Li Yu is well-known in the circle for the high quality of his scripts. When filming Li Yu's movies, he always has a lot of fun acting on the set.

Li Yu has always had great respect for true veteran artists like Li Xuejian.

He is also happy to work with such veteran actors.

"Teacher Li, you gave me inspiration as soon as you spoke. Don't tell me. There is a character in the third season of my Game of Thrones universe that is very suitable for you."

Li Yu said seriously.

Even though Li Yu is currently filming "Ready Player One", Liu Heping is already working on the script for the third season.

Although Liu Heping has not yet given Li Yu a script to read.

However, this is a historical drama, and the general direction, framework and important characters are the same as in history books.

"What character? Could it be another villain like the treacherous prime minister?"

Li Xuejian was a little amused.

Ever since he played Qin Hui, he found that people asked him to play villains more often.

The national master asked him to play Shen Gongbao, who is also a big villain.

"The role I plan to let you play is a powerful official, but this powerful official is quite special.

He was an important minister entrusted by the old emperor to take care of the young emperor, and also the uncle of the new emperor.

He held the power of the government in his hands and even interfered in the new emperor's dispute over the empress, forcing the new emperor to appoint a crown prince.

But he never thought of deposing the emperor. As a powerful official who held all the power, he had never touched upon the most important military power.

He was a combination of a powerful official and a loyal official. He loyally assisted the Tang Dynasty, but was unwilling to hand over the power in his hands to the new emperor.

So this character is not really a villain, but a very charming and complex character.”

Li Yu said seriously.

After listening to the introduction, Li Xuejian developed a strong interest in this role.

Interesting, a complex role, it must be very enjoyable to play.

He stated on the spot: "When will the third season be filmed? I'll reserve a time slot in advance and wait for your call."

“Probably in the middle or second half of next year.”

Li Yu calculated the time and determined that it was probably around this time period.

After Li Xuejian left, Fatty Fan immediately asked, "Isn't it possible that Teacher Li is going to perform the season in which I debuted? I feel very stressed."

"Mr. Li is not the only veteran actor, he is just one of them. You'd better catch up on your studies after filming Ready Player One, otherwise don't come to me if you get beaten up by other actors and mocked by netizens."

Li Yu looked at her with a teasing look.
