tearjerker director

Chapter 798 It's a showdown, I'm greedy for his popularity (fifth change)
Guan Xiaoshan took a step forward with a smile on his face and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Guan Xiaoshan, playing the role of the recruit of the Seventh Company, Wu Qianli."

This time, the media reporters below became noisy again.

"No replacement?"

"But why is Zhao Xuan here?"

"Could it be that you're playing a small supporting role?"

"Why can't Zhao Xuan play a supporting role?"

"But he's so popular."

It's no wonder that the reporters reacted like this, mainly because Zhao Xuan's popularity is indeed very high.

It can be called the top class among the new generation of idols, and Zhao Xuan's reputation is actually very good.

In addition, he is backed by Wanxing Group, so although Zhao Xuan didn't act in many plays before, he was basically the leading role, no matter how bad it was, he was the first supporting role, that kind of film and television works with more roles.

After all, Zhao Xuan's popularity is high, so the salary will not be low, and there are thousands of stars, so, basically, everyone agrees that no matter how good Zhao Xuan is, it is impossible to play a small role, a A character with few roles.

Although the specific content of "Changjin Lake" is unknown to everyone, there are already so many main characters in this group drama movie. Could it be that Li Yi really added drama to Zhao Xuan?

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhao Xuan, playing the role of Zhang Xiaoshan, a soldier of the Seventh Company!"

Suddenly everyone was at a loss.

And I can't help thinking about it, this name sounds very familiar, it is very interesting if Guan Xiaoshang does not play Zhang Xiaoshan, but Zhao Xuan plays Zhang Xiaoshan.

However, although there were all kinds of guesses in their hearts, after all, there was no question-and-answer session, so everyone could only bear with it.

Soon it was Li Yi's turn to speak.

"Let me introduce the movie "Changjin Lake" to everyone. This movie is about the Battle of Changjin Lake. A touching story of Victory making an important contribution."

The reporters below all rolled their eyes in unison in tacit understanding.

As expected of your dog director, can't you just say a few more words for the introduction of this movie?

You said that, so you didn't say it, okay?
"Actually, I had an idea for this movie a long time ago. Do you still remember the original "Things About That Rabbit That Year"? That sentence, don't cry, tears will freeze, I believe everyone will not forget !
I will not forget that in the Battle of Changjin Lake, the People's Volunteers persisted in the cold snow for six days and six nights in single clothes!

If I were to use words to describe and summarize the strength and contributions of the Volunteer Army, it would be "shocking the world, weeping ghosts and gods".

When I saw the news that the remains of the volunteer martyrs were sent back to the country, I think no one could not help crying. It took nearly 70 years for their loyal souls to have the opportunity to return to their homeland. Thinking of this, I feel that we There's no reason this movie shouldn't be made well. "

"Crack!" The reporters below applauded.

Afterwards, Zhao Guangming from Huaying, director of Bayi Film Studio and others spoke.

Then came the long-awaited question-and-answer session of the media reporters.

"Director Li, hello, I'm Xia Bing, a reporter from Southern Weekend. I would like to ask Director Li, this is your first major production in the true sense. The directing experience of the scene, then how can you guarantee that you can make those war scenes of this battle well?"

This question is also puzzled by many media reporters.

In fact, not only many of their fans have also argued about this.

"That's a good question. Actually, before I decided to make "Changjin Lake", I also had doubts about it, because the movie "Changjin Lake" is different from the movies I made in the past. This movie has the most Sometimes, thousands of people may be used in one scene, and there are many war scenes, I really don’t have much confidence.”

Li Yi's answer surprised many people. He actually admitted that he didn't have the confidence to make a good war scene?
"There's nothing you can't admit. I'm really not good at big scenes and war scenes, but I would like to introduce my assistant directors, director Yan Chunming, director Zhou Guoqing, director Yang Longshan, director Guo Chuan. I believe that everyone loves them. Should be familiar with it?
The four of them have the most experience in directing large-scale war dramas. At that time, they will be in charge of the war drama of "Changjin Lake". I think this should be enough to reassure everyone, right? "

Li Yi said with a smile.

Everyone was affected by Zhao Xuan's incident before, but they ignored the assistant directors like Yan Chunming, but now they look at it again, good guy, isn't it?

Directors like Yan Chunming, although they may not be as dazzling as the stars, their works are as numerous as stars.

And almost all of them are red directors.

With so many experienced and old directors escorting him, Li Yi's shortcoming of not being good at filming war scenes was immediately made up for!

"Director Li, I'm Mei Yun, a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly". Zhao Xuan was not selected in the list of actors announced earlier. Why did he suddenly play the role of Zhang Xiaoshan? This role was not included in the list of actors announced earlier. Is it a newly added character?"

The whole scene was suddenly quiet, because this question is actually quite interesting. It is true that "Changjin Lake" has announced a list of the starring lineup before, but there is indeed no information about the role of Zhang Xiaoshan, nor Zhao Xuan.

"Of course not, it's just that Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't have many roles, so he wasn't added to the main lineup before." Li Yi said calmly.

"Although the role of Zhang Xiaoshan is not much, it is very important. It can be said that it is the first turning point of the movie. I will not disclose the specific plot. It is entirely advisable to choose Zhao Xuan to play this role instead of Wu Wanli's role. Because, I never choose people based on their popularity or status. Guan Xiaoshan is more suitable, so I chose Guan Xiaoshan. Of course, it’s not that Zhao Xuan is not good, but he is not as suitable for this role as Guan Xiaoshan in comparison.

As for inviting Zhao Xuan to play the role of Zhang Xiaoshan, it was also because he thought he was quite suitable, that's all. "

"Ahem, okay, let me just say it, yes, I'm just greedy for his popularity, but I can't let an unsuitable person play an unsuitable role, so what should I do? If I can use a small supporting role, replace it with another one. Highly popular actor, do you want to do it instead? Of course I just give it a try, after all, there are really few roles!"

"As for why he is willing to take this role, you can ask Zhao Xuan!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Everyone in the media below was stunned. This was the first time someone directly admitted that the role was given to the director because of the popularity of the actors.As expected of you, Director Dog!
"Zhao Xuan, what did you think when you lost Wu Wanli and chose the role of Zhang Xiaoshan?" Li Yi turned his head and asked.

"Actually, I was really disappointed at the time. After all, I prepared for this role for a long time. Of course, although I prepared for so long, I failed to get the role in the end, but I still gained a lot. I got to know Teacher Chen Wen and the others. These good teachers and helpful friends also let me see my own shortcomings.

Another point of disappointment is that because I really, really like this movie, I cried several times when I saw the script for the first time. It is really a very touching and great story, but I have no chance to join this movie. in the making of the film. "

Then, Director Li gave me another surprise. He still hoped that I could take part in this movie. The role was not Wu Wanli, but Wu Wanli's friend Zhang Xiaoshan. It's amazing, and it's an honor for me to be a part of this movie.

I will interpret my role with awe! "
