The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 380 Burning film.

As soon as the group got off the plane, they were warmly received by many entertainment companies. Li Mu had no choice but to lead the group back to the hotel on the grounds that they were too tired from the long journey.

Liang Hongfei was amazed: "The Koreans are so enthusiastic? Don't they say they are arrogant?"

Chen Xuan scolded with a smile: "Do you think it's enthusiasm for you? They are enthusiasm for the Huaxia market behind us, and enthusiasm for banknotes."

Everyone burst into laughter, but Li Mu said seriously: "South Korea is a magical country, don't be fooled by appearances, and be careful about everything. We have learned many things from others now, and the meat that is brought to our lips , it might contain arsenic."

Everyone is not a fledgling rookie anymore, and they all know it in their hearts, but what Li Mu said made them excited in their hearts.

Li Mu didn't say anything more. He made an appointment for tomorrow's meeting and asked everyone to go back to their room to rest. Li Mu originally wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, so he simply took out the script and began to study the characters.

The role of Ding Qing, as soon as he appeared on the stage, gave people the impression of being cynical and a bit of a dandy. Even though he knew he was a gangster leader, he still gave people the feeling that he was very interesting, and this feeling was maintained for a long time. hours of video duration.

It wasn't until the scene where he shot the police undercover with a shovel in the warehouse that he really showed the bloody ferocity of a gang leader, and this contrast can easily give the audience an illusion, and the tension of the drama is perfected at this moment reflect.

But it is very difficult to play this kind of contrast well. In fact, Li Mu has not studied acting systematically. He is more about substituting himself into the character and then expressing it.

Early the next morning, when they gathered, everyone found that Li Mu seemed to have changed, his mouth became very broken, and he was picky in all kinds of ways. He even stepped on the hotel's disposable slippers on his feet, which made the hotel staff very embarrassed. , kept bowing and apologizing, not to mention the waiters, even Liang Hongfei and the others felt embarrassed.

For several days in a row, Li Mu was in this state, and these days they also found some shooting locations under the leadership of the Korean receptionist. During the period, the Korean receptionist was also embarrassed by Li Mu's state. As a small employee of the company, he could only keep bowing and apologizing, and wondered in his heart, didn't he say that this person has always been very kind?Is this kindness?Nuclear goodness is about the same, right?

Finally, after inspecting most of the filming locations, Li Mu finally got out of a certain state and returned to normal.

The casting location was in Li Mu's hotel room. The role of "Xinyu" was first arranged. This is what the Korean entertainment company is eager to confirm. Compared with the female lead, the second male lead has more roles." Section Chief Jiang" on the contrary, the entertainment company didn't pay much attention to it, which once made Liang Hongfei very puzzled.

In fact, it can be expected, because the character "Section Chief Jiang" is set as a middle-aged fat uncle. Such an actor has limited ability to attract fans. Even if he is popular, it is not as good as the fan effect brought by beautiful women. Effects, fan circle culture, etc. are all played by Koreans first, and they naturally know better than domestic entertainment companies how to maximize their profits.

Compared with Korean artists, the living environment of Chinese artists is already many times better.

One by one, the beauties entered and exited the hotel room like a formality. Those who didn't know it thought they were conducting some kind of illegal transaction. Fortunately, there were a group of people in Li Mu's room instead of a single person.

Liang Hongfei had to stop: "I said, don't you realize that these beauties look too much alike? I'm already a little dizzy, and I can't tell who is who."

Chen Xuan also nodded approvingly: "Yes, and their performances are a bit too exaggerated, and their facial expressions are too exaggerated. Is this the way Korean actors perform?"

Li Mu shook his head helplessly: "I have to tell you some bad news. What Chen Xuan said is correct. This is indeed the way Korean actors perform. They are used to expressing emotions with facial expressions, so when playing with them, they also Pay attention to letting your performance out as much as possible, otherwise it will appear awkward."

The audition has been going on for three full days and is still not over. During the period, the main creative staff was knocked on the door by beautiful actors more than once. However, with Li Mu's previous advice, everyone was careful and could only decline the beauties regretfully. "good intentions".

"Call the next one." Liang Hongfei yawned. He regretted not bringing Yu Peipei here. The beauty last night was too tempting. He would never be polite before getting married. So much so that he Didn't sleep well at all.

However, as soon as the next actress came in, she attracted the attention of all the main creators. It was not because of how beautiful she was and how good her figure was. Her skin was even a little dark, and she was wearing a very orthodox dress. The uniform was not revealing at all, and the expression on his face was also very indifferent, completely lacking in the coquettishness of other actresses when they came in.

Li Mu couldn't help but shine in front of her eyes. At least this actress has studied the script carefully. The character "Xin Yu" is definitely not a kitsch character. She always treats Li Zicheng's anger indifferently. After the arrest, he resolutely destroyed the phone card and told Section Chief Jiang: "Quit smoking." After that, he resisted alone and shot one of the "Four Bears in Yanbian" in the head.

Chen Xuan made a gesture of please sit down, and then said: "Then let's have a story about Li Zicheng playing Go with Xinyu for the first time in your appearance?"

Soon an interpreter gave the woman a Korean translation, and the woman nodded indifferently, seeming a little careless.

Naturally, there is no chessboard, and both of them performed without real objects. Chen Xuan silently raised his hand, put down a "chess piece" and said casually: "That's all right?"

The woman's face was watery, and she also took a move and shook her head slightly: "After all these years, your chess skills have not improved at all."

Li Mu nodded secretly. The girl has a very good detail, because there is no physical performance, Chen Xuan's point of the void is actually very casual, but when the girl is "playing chess", she just happens to play on Chen Xuan. Next to the fingers, such details are rarely noticed by ordinary people.

When the woman said: "You still have a new task." Li Zicheng suddenly broke out. He threw away the chess piece in his hand and vented his anger at "Xinyu": "I am an undercover agent for the gangsters, and even they trust me." , why can't you? Don't forget that I am also a policeman!"

The woman's eyes seemed to be a little erratic, but she still shook her head. In her heart, Section Chief Jiang's order is the rule of thumb. As for the chess pieces?She doesn't care about being a pawn.

Li Mu couldn't help but take the lead in applauding. Whether it was Chen Xuan's outburst or the woman's response just now, in his opinion, it was just right, and the main creators were also a little excited. Finally, they don't have to look at similar faces. Maybe the aesthetic fatigue is serious. The consequence is the urge to vomit at the sight of something similar.

Li Mu didn't bother to translate this time, but directly sent an invitation in Korean: "This role is yours now, welcome to join the New World crew."

The woman subconsciously stretched out her hand, and after a while she muttered to herself: "Me? Really, I got this role?" After speaking, she cried out excitedly.

Immediately, the main creators were a little caught off guard. Just now, seeing her appearance, they thought she had no desires, but it turned out that it was because she felt that there was no hope?
After chatting, Li Mu found out that the woman was called Qian Chenglin. She was not a professional actress, but a model. She had only filmed a few low-cost Korean dramas, so she didn't have much hope for such an important role. , just thinking about the mentality of giving it a try.

The news that the female number one was picked up by a certain model in the industry instantly caused a sensation in the Korean entertainment industry, and many entertainment tabloids also frequently broke out so-called "threat news", which was generally to discredit the main creators, especially Li Mu.

However, they seemed to have found the wrong person. Li Mu was not easy to mess with. He immediately contacted the Korean lawyers and sued several leading media outlets.

With this farce, the movie "New World" has gained a high degree of exposure in South Korea, and a Korean theater has already contacted Li Mu.

The news that another leading actor is being selected was quickly reported by the Korean media, attracting more and more actors to audition.

The one who won the role of "Section Chief Jiang" was a very famous actor in the industry - Choi Minho. I have to say that the acting skills of the older generation of actors are really good. Compared with the exaggerated performances of other Korean actors, his acting skills He was more restrained, especially in his eyes. When Chen Xuan played with him, he was suppressed for a while and couldn't breathe.

Moreover, Choi Minho's salary is also frighteningly low, only 59 million won, which is about [-] yuan. Liang Hongfei couldn't help wondering, are all Korean actors so cheap?
You know, for 59 yuan, in China, hiring a third-tier celebrity would not pay you any attention, but in Korea, you can actually hire such a powerful actor with both acting skills and fame.

However, the fact is that this is why these Korean entertainment companies try their best to send their artists to China to make money, just like Zhang Nala said in the show that she would go to China to make money every time she ran out of money, although it sounds a bit The meaning of belittling Huaxia, in fact, what he said was the truth, but it is a pity that this honest girl completely cut off the chance to come to Huaxia to make money because of this sentence.

After the two leading actors were in place, the film crew also traveled from China to South Korea for filming. This was the first time the studio tried to connect with so many foreign actors.

Naturally, the filming process cannot be smooth sailing. First of all, there is a problem of language barriers. For this reason, the crew specially invited more than a dozen Chinese college students studying in South Korea to act as translators.

It is not always possible to get a high salary and get in touch with celebrities. After the translation is in place, many things will go much smoother.

Of course, there is another difficulty, which is the difference in expression between the two parties. Most Korean actors have adapted to more exaggerated performances. The expressions of Chinese actors will be more restrained, which makes it difficult for the two sides to match the play.

It seems that there is no problem alone, but when two people are in the same scene, it is easy to make a play. At the beginning, Liang Hongfei's idea was to ask the Korean actors to accept a little more, and their expressions should not be too exaggerated. Unfortunately, once the guidance was given, the Korean actors were directly asked I won't be acting anymore.

"Aren't we a bit preconceived?" Li Mu asked during the creative meeting in the evening.

Chen Xuan pinched his chin, which had been completely thin, and frowned, "You mean, let us adapt to them?"

Li Mu snapped his fingers: "That's right, we actually had the wrong idea from the beginning. Although most of the members of this drama team are Chinese, don't forget that this is a movie with a Korean background. The characters are all Korean!"

This is difficult. Acting style is the same as living habits. In fact, it is very difficult to change. At the beginning, many Chinese actors were not used to it. It seems that watching Korean dramas at home usually doesn’t feel good. It’s quite touching. But once you say in your daily life: "Ouba, the time we spend with you is dazzling, because the weather is good, because the weather is bad, because the weather is just right, every day is beautiful." It's almost embarrassing Do you have?

But there is no way, if you don't adapt, you have to adapt. For this reason, the crew even specially arranged Chinese actors and Korean actors in a standard room so that they can get acquainted with each other.

Chen Xuan directly asked to live in a room with Cui Minho, but the next day he appeared on the set with red eyes. After asking, he found out that Cui Minho snored in various ways at night, and Chen Xuan almost didn't fall asleep all night.

But half a month later, the effect of this arrangement came out. The actors got used to the exaggerated expressions of the Korean actors, and the performance was not so embarrassing.

The one who has improved the most is Chen Xuan, he can even communicate with Choi Minho in simple Korean.

For this reason, Li Mu even decided to burn all the films in the first half month and start shooting again. Both the Chinese actors and the Korean actors worked harder after seeing such a scene. At least they have never seen such a crew.

Especially for Korean actors, the Korean market is too small, and they can’t make much money. Even a reputable director doesn’t dare to burn the film, otherwise the investors will definitely make him fall into a catastrophe. the abyss.

"New World" is a gangster film, so fighting scenes are indispensable, and there are many bloody scenes. There is no need to submit a review to know that such a scene will definitely fail, so similar scenes have to be deleted, but they still have to be shot. Such scenes cannot be screened in China, but they are allowed in South Korea.

Ding Qing, played by Li Mu, has a very passionate fighting scene. In order to restore Ding Qing's fierce fighting scene, Li Mu also endured hardships.
