Become Famous Another Day

"Yes, this movie is positioned as a commercial film, a commercial comedy. The first protagonist is a witty child. Yes, the actor of this child has been decided. He has made a movie with me before, and it is very interesting. Talent, called Huang Feng.”

"We still hope that these two stupid thieves can be played by at least one big name. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on the film's subsequent schedule selection. Without big-name stars, there will be no filming."

"Teacher Jia Long will act?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"However, the absolute protagonist of this movie is still this child. He has been the absolute protagonist of Mr. Jia Long's movies in recent years. Please don't touch him. Moreover, he will also be busy this winter vacation with "Unfortunate Journey to Thailand" I don’t think I have time for the Spring Festival promotion of "囧".

"Where's Liu Teli?"

"Teacher Liu?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Liu Teli... This big shot who is famous for playing small people in the market has never entered Lu Yanhe's mind before.

On the one hand, it is because he is not playing this kind of spoof comedy, so he was not included in Lu Yanhe's actor portrait at the beginning. On the other hand, in Lu Yanhe's mind, Liu Teli is an academic actor who pursues art and follows the path of a performing artist. Is he overqualified for his role in the movie "Home Alone"?

However, when the image of Liu Teli in his mind was connected with the stupid thief in "Home Alone", Lu Yanhe inexplicably felt that... there was some similarity.

Liu Teli can definitely play an interesting role.

It felt like I hadn't thought of it before, but when I thought of it, there seemed to be no more suitable candidate than him.

Moreover, Liu Teli's popularity and the buzz he would generate if he participated in this movie fully meet their requirements for actors.

It’s just that... Mr. Liu Teli may not be willing to act.

Visit the thatched cottage three times.

This word emerged in Lu Yanhe's mind.

Now that you feel it's appropriate, you should pay three visits to the thatched cottage.

With this idea in mind, Lu Yanhe immediately told Chen Yin and the others.

Chen Yin was stunned and asked: "If Mr. Liu Teli is invited to play the role, will the character settings of these two stupid thieves need to be modified?"

In the script, these two stupid thieves are middle-aged people in their thirties to forties.

Lu Yanhe said: "There is no need to change the character relationship or the script. The two stupid thieves in the script also have a relationship between leaders and collaborators. Both of them are actually stupid, but one thinks he is smart. If Teacher Liu To be able to play, he must play the role of the leader. Considering his age, in his early fifties, to act as the wise person of the two-person team, the other thief needs to be younger, and the other one is more stupid, but in terms of image. The taller one.”

Chen Yin thought about it carefully and found that according to the script of "Home Alone", this was indeed the case.

Chen Yin added: "In fact, the theme of this movie is most suitable for the Spring Festival."

"The biggest feature of this comedy is that it is combined with a children's film." Lu Yanhe said, "It is a family-style comedy, and the theme it talks about is the concept of family."

"Can we find more big-name actors to make guest appearances?" Chen Yin said, "I know that the most important thing about a movie is its content, and the content must be good. I think the current theme and content of this movie are good enough. The laughter is dense and refreshing, and it is completely different from the comedy movies on the market. However, the better the content, the greater the publicity, so that people can know that this movie is not a group drama, if only Liu Teli is alone. When people compete for the Spring Festival slot, they still can’t compare to other movies.”

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "But the only characters that can be guest stars in this movie are parents, police, neighbors, airport attendants..."

"Then let's invite popular stars to guest star for these characters." Chen Yin said, "Only in this way can we get tickets for the Spring Festival."

Lu Yanhe asked: "How is the search for the director going?"

Chen Yin: "We were interested in Lu Xiaochuan before. He is considering it and promised me that he will give me an answer this week."

"Oh, by the way, if we ask Mr. Liu Teli to act, the budget may need to be increased." Chen Yin reminded, "Originally, our budget for the salary of the two stupid thieves was two million, but Liu Teacher Teli’s salary is expected to be five million to reach his market level.”

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "As for the production budget, we can add it if necessary."

-

Lu Yanhe and his party arrived at Liu Teli's home for a special visit.

This long-established performing artist, due to the relationship between the character and the subject matter, he did not win the Best Actor trophy until the past two years. Before that, he had not been recognized by mainstream awards.

But in the domestic environment, this has not affected his own status and reputation in the industry, which shows his own ability.

Lu Yanhe was thinking about how he was going to tell Liu Teli about this movie all the way.

He was afraid that Liu Teli would go astray and have other expectations for the movie.

If Lu Yanhe went to Liu Teli with a script like "Dragon Inn" or "Raise the Red Lantern", Lu Yanhe would not be nervous.

Because he knew that Liu Teli would definitely like such a book.

"Home Alone"…

Lu Yanhe didn't know how to describe this feeling.

It's like taking a handicraft that sells well and going to an embroidery master and saying, Master, look, can you embroider like this? Sold very well.

The master may kick you out directly.

Therefore, when Lu Yanhe saw Liu Teli, he said straight to the point: "This is a comedy commercial film."

Liu Teli already knew their purpose of coming.

"I heard you want me to play a thief?" he said with a smile.

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, a thief who competes with a child in a battle of wits and courage."

Liu Teli asked: "Xiao Lu, can you tell me, if you could describe this movie in one sentence, how would you describe it?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"ah?"

Liu Teli pointed to the script on the coffee table and said, "I'm not asking you to summarize the story. I just want to know its positioning in your heart before I read the script."

Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said: "For adults, it is a fairy tale in the real world. For children, it is a real story that makes them happy like a fairy tale. It is happy, warm and makes them happy." People are happy.”

Liu Teli nodded.

"I'll go to the study to read the script. You guys sit down." He picked up the script and entered the study alone.

His wife came over with refreshments and greeted them.

-

Liu Teli, like many older generation artists, has experienced too many difficulties and hardships along the way.

His wife, Chen Qiang, chatted with Lu Yanhe and others, and it was only when Liu Teli came over that Lu Yanhe learned that Liu Teli had sung in an opera troupe when he was a child and had solidly honed his basic skills for many years.

Later, I joined a local theater troupe and traveled around with the troupe. I suffered a lot and gained a lot of skills. By chance, I started acting in stage plays and sketches, and then got the opportunity to act in film and television dramas.

Starting out as a supporting actor is not the same thing as being an actor now.

However, most actors in the past followed this path.

They are not actors packaged by the star industry system. Of course, in the current entertainment industry environment, they are still inevitably becoming stars -

This is not a bad thing.

But their past experiences have given them a foothold in the entertainment industry, which is becoming more and more glamorous.

This is especially true for a top actor like Liu Teli who keeps himself clean and cherishes his own feathers.

Therefore, they have very high standards when it comes to taking on roles.

This standard will not change just because you pay a lot of money, or because you are Lu Yanhe or a creator with outstanding achievements.

For such an actor, in terms of commercial value, many people can despise him and despise him.

But in terms of what makes actors actors and their attainments in the performing arts, they are respected wherever they go.

-

Chen Qiang said: "A big director asked him to act before. I won't say who it was. He had such a bad temper. He didn't like the character and didn't agree with the content in the script, so he declined. When others found out, they all laughed. He said that if he acted, he would be shortlisted for an acting award at worst, but he said that he just lacks awards."

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "Teacher Teli doesn't need awards. He is already very important. He doesn't need awards to increase everyone's recognition of him."

Chen Qiang: "That's what I said, but in the entertainment industry, there are people who flatter others and underestimate others. When he didn't win the Lingyun Award, who would have looked up to him? He suffered a lot while filming with some young idol actors. ”

"Ah? What did you suffer?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Although today's idol actors have very average professional abilities, under the supervision of so many people, they still respect the older generation of actors, right? At least their performance must be good. Show respect."

Chen Qiang smiled and shook her head.

"That's really not the case." Chen Qiang said, "Of course anyone can do superficial things, but the problem is that they will make many requests through the team and the crew without directly making them. When faced with the demands of the crew, Teli and the others can only I can cooperate. Te Li even filmed 80% of the scenes with a stunt double. Te Li had never met the actor several times for the two of them."

"What kind of actor is this? I have to block him immediately from now on." Lu Yanhe said with a dark face.

Chen Qiang: "But Teli has a high opinion of you guys. This time you are going to come over and ask me to buy vegetables. We will cook in person later and you can try our cooking skills." "Okay." "I'm so happy to be able to taste the craftsmanship of you two!" Lu Yanhe said in surprise.

Chen Qiang: "I am also very happy to meet you. I have watched many of your plays. Te Li often watches your plays and says that your plays have something that others do not have and are worth watching."

Lu Yanhe was flattered.

"No way? A performing artist like Teacher Teli, watching my play? This feeling can be written on my acting resume."

Chen Qiang: "Why are you so humble?"

"I'm not usually that humble. Now that I've come to your home, I have to be more humble. If you don't know how to be humble in front of a real artist, that's arrogance."

Lu Yanhe said it categorically.

"Hollywood movie?"

At this moment, Jiang Yuqian looked at He Heng in surprise.

"They contacted us and wanted us to audition?"

"Yes." He Heng nodded, "It is a big production, and one of the leading actors is also a Chinese actor."

"Yan He?" Jiang Yuqian's first reaction was Lu Yanhe.

Read the error-free version in 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩ! 6Ⅹ9 Shuyiba publishes a novel for the first time. Read at Liujiu Book Bar

Because currently, there are only a handful of domestic actors who can play leading roles in international major productions, and the most popular one is Lu Yanhe.

"Chen Pinhe." He Heng suppressed his surprise, his eyes shining, "We have really taken the right step in our internationalization route. Yuqian, you finally got a decent heroine in a big Hollywood production! "

"It's just an audition, doesn't it count as getting it?"

"They took the initiative to contact me, and they are basically sure of it. Currently, there are not many internationally renowned actresses like you in China." He Heng said, "The hope is great."

Jiang Yuqian also showed a look of surprise.

Although she has been working hard to take an international route during this period of time, the two dramas she participated in before were all supporting roles.

It's just that one is a big production and the other is a work by a famous director, so even the supporting roles are good resources.

But of course it’s not okay to keep playing supporting roles.

Not to mention anything else, Jiang Yuqian has always played the heroine in China, but suddenly became a supporting role abroad, which always makes the Chinese people feel uncomfortable. It seems that Chinese movies and TV dramas are inferior to others, and your popular heroine can only Play a supporting role.

Fortunately, the resources for the heroine are now available.

He Heng said: "After this news is announced, your status will be further consolidated. You really don't want to act in TV series anymore, unless it is a top-notch series."

Jiang Yuqian said: "The premise is that there will always be good movies for me to act in. I can't just keep waiting just to act in movies."

"Don't worry, after these movies are released, your future movie books will definitely be indispensable." He Heng said, "Especially when "Telephone" is released at the end of the year, the current data in all aspects are very good, and the box office of this movie has exceeded 100 million. It shouldn’t be a big problem. Didn’t Lu Yanhe also say later that there is another movie script for you to act in? "

"Yan He has so many projects that he can't even handle them," Jiang Yuqian said. "Actually, I originally wanted to act in the movie "Dragon Inn", but Yan He said I wasn't suitable for the role."

"The two heroines in it are of an age you can't control now."

"I haven't acted yet." Jiang Yuqian said, "Forget it, indeed, compared with Teacher Chen Bige and Teacher Liu Zi, my acting skills are somewhat inferior."

"Don't belittle yourself, your acting skills are already very good now." He Heng said, "Besides, after these few movies, are you still short of such an opportunity?"

"Who knows, haven't you noticed? The roles that Yan He came to me for were basically not the kind of roles that require particularly advanced acting skills. He even felt that I couldn't play roles that required particularly advanced acting skills."

"If Yan He heard what you said, he would definitely feel that he had been wronged." He Heng said, "Your performance in "Squid Game" is obvious to all. Moreover, doesn't the movie "Telephone" require acting skills? You If you compare with Chen Bige, there is indeed a gap. She has been acting for many more years than you. How can you compare with her? "

"You don't understand."

"I just hope you don't get too entangled in these things. We have agreed not to fight for awards in the past few years. Moreover, Qianqian, it is not difficult to be recognized for your acting skills in a film that highlights your acting skills. If you can not In a film that focuses on acting, it’s the ability to give a performance that makes everyone’s eyes shine.”

"Just comfort me."

"I'm not trying to comfort you."

"I know my acting skills are indeed not that good." Jiang Yuqian shook her head, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's just leave it at that. I hope I can successfully win the movie "Day of Destruction"."

After Liu Teli read the script of the movie "Home Alone" in his study, he did not come out immediately.

He sat in a chair and meditated for a long time.

There is no denying that this is an interesting story.

Moreover, it is a very interesting story.

But it is true that it is a bit far from his current standards for taking on roles.

Liu Teli has always been a realistic actor.

"Home Alone" is simply untenable from a realist perspective.

If he acted in this movie, he would definitely have to change his usual acting style.

This is a very risky thing for him.

Of course, what made him hesitate was not the risk, but that it went beyond his pursuit of himself as an actor.

He couldn't say against his will that this film was a risk for him as an actor, a risk in acting.

Even if the performance style needs to be changed, it is only a technical operation.

Liu Teli knew that if he acted in this movie, it would not be difficult for him.

However, based on Linghe's positioning of "Home Alone", this movie is very likely to be a box office hit.

By then, the impression of these two stupid thieves may be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

For him, Liu Teli, perhaps the image of an actor that he finally established was bound to this role and the style of this movie. From then on, he became a professional clown type character.

Liu Teli has thought a lot and is very practical.

By his time, a blockbuster movie didn't actually mean that much.

The projects he is currently involved in and the roles he plays are not as popular as expected in "Everyone", but they are not bad.

As actor Liu Teli, he can have the aura of a "performing artist" without any risks.

He acted in "Home Alone", and even if the movie was a box office hit, it would not be of much help to his acting career. He could see that the only stars of the movie were this "kid" and these two stupid thieves. , no matter how successful he is, he is still a stupid and funny villain.

And if he doesn't star in "Home Alone", it won't have any impact on his current acting career.

He does not need popularity or traffic. At the stage he is at, he is already a "successful and famous" "performing artist".

These things had actually been swirling in his mind for a long time.

He was trying to convince himself not to take the movie.

But why did he need to find so many reasons to convince himself not to take this movie?

Because as an actor, he knows very well that this is a good-looking story, and this is a movie theme that has never appeared on the market. Similarly, this is also a movie story that although it does not discuss the depth of human nature or explore the art of film, , a movie that everyone will love.

The two stupid thieves in the movie will be a iconic movie image.

It doesn’t have to be a round, multi-faceted, complex figure to stand up.

Characters that reach the extreme in a certain aspect can also be classics.

Liu Teli saw the charm of these two stupid thieves.

They are purely bad and purely stupid, but they still make people feel that their badness and stupidity are a kind of fairy-tale badness and stupidity, not to the height of bad human nature.

It is too difficult to write such a character like this.

Liu Teli has never played such a role.

His heart was ready to move.

This is his passion for a role as an actor.
