China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 252 Not everyone has the opportunity to communicate in depth with the director (please subscribe!)

"Hawthorn Tree Love" has been launched in a low-key manner, but the role of the heroine Jingqiu has not been exposed by the media.

Lao Mouzi hid well this time.

Of course, no matter how well hidden it is, it is no secret to some people.

Just like Chen Dong's new script has just passed review, there will always be someone who knows about it immediately.

But because his novel is an award-winning film, most of the cost is the actors' salaries, so no other investment is needed.

The film tells the story of a girl who grew up in a deaf-mute family, clarified the bonds of her original family, and after some struggle and growth, was finally admitted to the Berklee College of Music and reconciled with her family.

There is no doubt that this is a heroine movie.

The heroine Li Lu is the only member of her family with normal hearing. She needs to take on the work of 'translation' between her family and the world, ranging from maintaining the livelihood of the entire family to dealing with frictions between her family and various people in her environment.

So she is the core of what makes this family life work.

At the same time, Li Lu has a good voice, and singing has become her only channel to express her emotions.

But after graduating from high school, she was faced with the dilemma of helping her father run the fishing industry or pursuing her dream...

There is no doubt that this role belongs to Liu Yifei.

She also got the script early and is studying it.

Although it is a movie with a female protagonist, the supporting roles are also crucial.

For example, father Li Fugui is a fisherman. Because Li Lu is the only normal person in the family, he relies on his daughter for everything, but never pays attention to her, and certainly does not support her dreams.

He even regards his daughter's personal pursuit as a 'betrayal' of the family, which is selfish.

Li Lu’s family members also include an elder brother and mother.

The elder brother is named Leo. He is deaf and mute and has a strong sense of self-esteem. However, with his sister Li Lu as a foil, he always seems stupid and stupid when doing something, so his character becomes more and more arrogant and irritable.

The mother is an unconfident and insecure woman. She loves her daughter deeply, but is afraid that she will let her down if she is not good enough. Over time, she shows strong uneasiness and possessiveness toward Li Lu.

Therefore, she does not want her daughter to enter college, and is worried that she will lose her daughter if she goes there.

This family indeed bound Li Lu with family affection, allowing her to choose the former between her family and her dreams.

The reversal came. After Li Lu compromised with her family, her family also changed their original views.

Finally, with the encouragement of her family, Li Lu entered the Berklee College of Music and embarked on the road to pursue her dreams.

Of course, during this process, Li Lu also needed the help of a music teacher who always supported her.

Chen Dong re-created the character of the teacher, first changing his gender from male to female.

The surname is Liu, but no given name was given.

Mr. Liu’s biggest dream was to be admitted to the Berklee College of Music, but he failed to pass the exam after two years of repeated studies. Now he is a vocal teacher at Li Lu High School.

Because he discovered that Li Lu had great talent in vocal music, he placed his dream on her that he had not been able to realize at the beginning.

This is why even though Li Lu's family initially opposed her pursuit of her dream, only an outsider, Teacher Liu, always supported her.

There are not many characters and the story is very simple, but it is this kind of play that requires very high acting skills from the actors.

Although Liu Yifei has made great progress, it is still very challenging for her to master a role like Li Lu.

Even though she has the earliest exposure to scripts, she also has the qualification to communicate and learn in depth with the director every night.

……

"Sword and Sword III" has just been aired on the star, and Yang Mi, who plays the heroine Xuejian in the drama, is very popular right now.

It can be said that in the entire entertainment industry, only Liu Yifei dares to confidently say that she can be firmly suppressed.

It is precisely because of this that many drama appointments come to me.

There are many high-quality resources among them, such as the heroine of a TV series called "Gong Lock Heart Jade".

Yang Mi and her manager Zeng Jia couldn't find anything wrong with it. Of course, if I have to nitpick, it’s that this is a small screen movie, not a big one.

After being promoted to the front line, Yang Mi felt a little high-spirited. She wanted to take the high-quality route. She didn't dare to compare with the boss lady Liu Yifei, but she could just be on par with Zhang Ziyi.

However, Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" wanted a little girl with eyes as clear as white paper. Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" already had a double ice. Gu Changwei's "The Magic Age" would rather choose to be exposed to many people after breaking up with her American boyfriend. Scandal-ridden Zhang Ziyi...

Like a scumbag, Yang Mi kept dragging "Gong Lock Heart Jade" because she wanted to have one last shot at her boss's new drama.

If there is a role for her, then I can only say 'El Mossori' to the spare tire.

"There's no role for you in my new movie."

Chen Dong's words were like the last straw that broke the scumbag's back.

Turning around, Yang Mi fell into the arms of the 'spare tire' - "Gong Lock Heart Jade".

Of course, most of the time, the spare tire may not know that he is the spare tire.

Just like the crew of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" didn't know that Yang Mi agreed to cooperate with them because they didn't choose movies from several big directors.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same idea as Yang Mi and are considering Chen Dongxin's movie role.

Basically, Chen Dong receives one or two or three or four favor calls every day.

He didn't refuse and let them audition.

Because "Hearing Girl" is an award-winning film, every character in it has very high requirements for acting skills. Chen Dong doesn't know who is most suitable and who is not. Moreover, there is no prototype to draw from in this film, so Only one open audition can be scheduled.

The public audition is on May 5. From the time Dongcheng Pictures announced the news on its official website to the day of the audition, the actors have half a month to prepare.

This year's Cannes International Film Festival has announced the shortlist, and the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition is Wang Xiaoshuai's "Rizhao Chongqing".

But Jiang Wen said in an interview with the media that he would also go to this Cannes Film Festival... Why? Go sell movies.

"Director Jiang, you cut out "Let the Bullets Fly" so quickly?" Chen Dong didn't believe it.

"Haha, it's coming, it's coming. I cut this movie very smoothly. Director Chen, do you want to come and watch it first? I promise to impress you this time."

Listening to Jiang Wen's confidence on the phone, Chen Dong felt that in the other person's heart at this moment, his "Let the Bullets Fly" must have surpassed his own "Interstellar".

If Chen Dong hadn't watched "Let the Bullets Fly", even if he knew Jiang Wen was bragging, he would definitely go and see it this time.

But the problem is, he has already seen it, and he has seen it more than once.

Of course there is no need to go over and listen to Jiang Wen's bragging.

Refuse directly.

No need to find any reason.

After rejecting Jiang Wen, Chen Dong went online.

I don't know if "Avatar" and "Interstellar" have whetted the audience's appetite, or if the recently released movies are really so bad that they actually caused a backlash from the audience.

So much so that some media came up with a movie refund system.

It has received support from many people.

When Chen Dong went to work the next day, he found that instead of sinking, this topic had reached the top.

Many directors were caught by the media and asked for their opinions.

Feng Xiaogang is one of them.

The reporter asked him if he supported the movie refund system.

He showed Feng Dapao's momentum and said bluntly: "Not only do I not support it, I also say two words: bullshit!"

Chen Dong didn't expect that he would be caught by reporters when he went out to have a meal at noon. Of course, the problem was the same.

He didn't shy away from talking, let alone answered the wrong question. He thought about it and borrowed a metaphor to clarify his attitude: "I think this is like going to a restaurant to eat. How can you still say that the food is not delicious after two bites?" Do you want the boss to return the money to you?”
