I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 172 Chapter 160 Seven Movie Scripts
Yang Taihe did not bring up the matter of Song Dazhi 2. After all, Li Chenghao has not yet participated in the audition.

After all, anything can happen in this circle, and it's not uncommon for a cooked duck to fly away.

However, the script of the movie was determined first——

"Urban hero?"

It was also the first time for Li Chenghao to hear this news. Yang Taihe didn't say anything when he was in the car.

"This movie was directed by Yang Qing, and he also wrote the book."

"Yang Qing?"

This name is familiar to many people. After all, in this circle, some people who should remember must write it down. Maybe when they will run into each other or have a chance to cooperate.

Yang Qing can be regarded as a relatively successful young director. Of course, this youth refers to the director. In fact, he is already in his early forties. This age is really young among directors.

And he got off to a good start. Ten years ago, when he was only [-], he exported a film like "Night Club". A few years later, he wrote and directed "Hot Pot Heroes".

But after that, there was no news about him, and the whole person seemed to disappear.

However, there has been quite a long time between "Night Club" and "Hot Pot Heroes", and for the director, the accumulation of time may be a good thing, because with a successful resume, everyone will still be willing to believe him.

"This movie will also be one of our key projects this year, so besides Cheng Hao, other people should also participate, as long as they have the right role, they can fight for it..."

This statement immediately made everyone excited. After all, there was an opportunity to make a movie, and no one was willing to give it a try.

But after the meeting was over, Li Chenghao had secretly flipped through a few pages of the script, and then found Yang Tai and said together: "Is this script really for me?"

Yang Taihe smiled and said: "Of course, why, you don't want to act ugly?"

In the story, the protagonist is an otaku who dreams of saving the world. He wears a pair of dark glasses, his hair is messy, and his clothes are sloppy. It would be an exaggeration to say that he is looking ugly.

Because even Li Chenghao has to admit that styling and makeup account for at least [-]% of his current radiant image, and this is because he has a good foundation.

There are quite a few celebrities who don't have such a good foundation, and really rely on makeup to support them.

I won't name names here...

In short, when it comes to pretending to be ugly, Li Chenghao wants to say "I'm a professional", because he thinks that he was pretending to be ugly in the past, that is, he just restored his previous image when he didn't dress up.

Of course, the background is so good, maybe people will complain about it, so Li Chenghao actually feels that this alone does not fit the role.

An ordinary nerd, who does he want to feel like a substitute?

But he forgot that there is also makeup. No matter how good his foundation is, if he deliberately puts on some ugly makeup, it can still be covered up a little bit.

Anyway, when it comes to making movies, there is nothing wrong with proper artistic fiction, so what’s wrong with such an otaku?
"By the way, Director Yang is also here. He wants to meet you. Why don't you go and meet him?"

"Ah?" Li Chenghao was stunned for a moment, and could only nod with a bitter face.

When I came to the lounge and saw Yang Qing, he was indeed young, and he didn't look like he was in his forties. It can only be said that he was well maintained, and his mentality was probably well maintained.

There is no need for Yang Taihe's introduction, but the other party smiled when he saw Li Chenghao: "Oh, I am relieved to see you are so handsome."

Li Chenghao was a little confused, and then he understood after listening to him.

To put it bluntly, his script is basically a story about an ugly duckling turning into a swan, except that the ugly duckling is male.

Li Chenghao hasn't seen the back yet, otherwise he wouldn't have this doubt.

Now it is easy to understand why he chose himself. Only in this way, the sharp contrast between the ugly makeup and re-care can highlight the important point of the ugly duckling becoming a white swan.

As for acting skills, the acting skills in "A Tale of Two Cities" testify, and the characters' ages are also consistent, and even some experiences are also consistent-he obviously also knew about Li Chenghao's past.

So, he really didn't choose randomly, he just came prepared.

Originally, Li Chenghao thought that it was Yang Taihe who valued the script and exchanged investment for him to play the leading role, but now it seems that the other party took the initiative to send it to him.

Scratching his head, Li Chenghao laughed a little embarrassed when he heard that Yang Qing was still praising his performance in "A Tale of Two Cities", "Director Yang praised him too much, that's because those seniors trained well."

"Hey, I can't say that. I never believe that an actor can become a talent just relying on other people's training. In the final analysis, you are willing to learn and practice. Although Li Ting's character is not deep enough, the growth line is obvious. You are also very layered, which is not easy."

Of course it is not easy. There are never fewer characters with growth stories, but there are only a handful of young actors who can fully express them.

Of course, many people may really lack an opportunity. In fact, it cannot be said that there are no good young actors, but the good ones have no good opportunities, and they are all occupied by traffic and idols.

Sometimes it makes people suspect that they didn't choose actors, but chose the one with more money...

Li Chenghao was a little embarrassed by the praise, and Yang Taihe laughed beside him and said, "Director Yang, if you talk about it, he should go to heaven."

"Hahaha..." Yang Qing laughed, and then said to Yang Taihe: "Mr. Yang, my plan is to start the operation in the middle of next month, so I must start preparations now, including casting."

It's already late, half a month. For the preparation of a movie, it's actually a bit rushed.

But Yang Taihe nodded and said with a smile: "I will let them cooperate with you with all their strength, and then Cheng Hao will ask you to do so."

Yang Qing said: "It's okay. In fact, part of the inspiration for my role came from seeing Cheng Hao and Yi Xing when I was looking forward to it, and he also has a share of the credit. So I believe he will be able to play it well." ..."

After chatting for a few more words, Yang Qing was sent away first, Yang Taihe turned around and said to Li Chenghao: "You should prepare well, this time is a good opportunity, Yang Qing has never been able to get good resources before, there are good ones. The idea cannot be implemented.

"And he had some friction with Wang Zheng and the others, so he fell silent in the past few years. This time I came here, I guess I also had a hint of goodwill. He must also attach great importance to this movie, so you should cooperate with him - oh yes Well, it’s best to learn the dialect first.”

The setting in the script is in the mountain city. This place is quite mysterious. Many people on the Internet say that it is "China's cyberpunk capital". Even many crime movies set the background in this place, which is quite outrageous. .

But, if the scenery of the mountain city is photographed and some shades of the underworld are added, it really looks like that, and it can be regarded as a unique condition.

And in that place, dialect must be mentioned, which is actually a feature of Yang Qing's films. For example, dialects are also involved in the previous two films, and he has a soft spot for dialects.

Of course, Yang Qing said that filming will start in the middle of next month. This can only be said to be a predetermined plan, because the actors will be confirmed by then, and they will have to undergo some training after joining the cast. The dialect is still a small matter, mainly because the play is about parkour. part.

In fact, this can also be regarded as a "parkour action movie", the theme of "parkour saves the world".

If you can still find a lot of actors who can speak dialects that meet the requirements, then parkour is very difficult to find, and you have to go through some training.

Even if most of the action will have to be a stand-in, it is always good for the actors to complete more and have fewer flaws that are easy to see.

This process will take at least half a month to a month. It is not impossible to delay the start-up time to mid-to-late April. This will buy some more time for Li Chenghao's preparations.

Because Li Chenghao felt that his language talent was relatively average, he could only nod his head and said, "I will do my best..."

Yang Taihe opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything forceful. This kind of thing is not easy to force, "Okay, then do your best."

When Li Chenghao looked back, he thought of a somewhat opportunistic way, which was to memorize his lines directly in dialect.

To be honest, this really made it more difficult for me. Originally memorizing lines was difficult, and speaking in dialects was also difficult. Now it is even more difficult.

And it's not that he doesn't need to do anything else, he can just concentrate on doing this, and he has other schedules.

After all, besides being an actor, he is also a singer now. There are no regular variety shows in variety shows, but occasionally he is invited to attend as a guest, or participate in some interviews. Some of these can be rejected, and some are really difficult because of favors or publicity. Pushed away.

So it was difficult for Li Chenghao, and he was under a lot of pressure for a while.

When I was filming "Heartbeat Love" before, due to the character design and the fact that it was originally a short film with fewer lines, the on-site recording was fine, and the effect was even better, so naturally I didn't have to worry about this.

Later, when he was filming "A Tale of Two Cities", he didn't have his own role in the early stage, so he learned to perform and memorize his lines on the sidelines.

It was actually quite hard at the time, but it was still Mandarin after all, and it was natural to speak it smoothly and remember it, and that was not the protagonist.

Now, as the protagonist, he naturally has the most roles and has the most lines.

And even though this is a movie, this role has a lot of inner drama - the lines of those inner dramas have to be spoken behind the scenes, so they also need to be practiced - the words spoken are not necessarily the same. Less than Li Ting.

During this period, Li Chenghao ushered in the audition for Song Dazhi 2 again.

However, even if the roles are confirmed here, the filming should not start so soon, because there are still many problems in this drama that have not been well coordinated. Su Xiaojing even said that he was worried that the ticket would not be skipped again this time.

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Chenghao to wait here, so the focus must be on the movie first.

But I just spared a day to audition, mainly to confirm two points, one is the appearance, and the other is the acting skills.

In addition to the director, there was also a representative of the producer and the investor present at the audition, two men and one woman.

Li Chenghao noticed that when he saw himself walking out in an ancient costume, the woman's eyes lit up and she adjusted her glasses, but her heart felt inexplicably cold.

I heard that the atmosphere in the circle, especially the emphasis on casting, is largely due to the change in the tastes of the management.

For example, when the coal boss invested in the past, the people who were able to take care of them came in. Although the acting skills are hard to say, it can definitely be regarded as a feast for Yangou.

Nowadays, many investors or management representatives are mainly older women, so the people they choose to support tend to be of the "little milk dog" or "little wolf dog" type.

Of course, sometimes they are the kind of people who don't look good to others, but for them, they are obedient enough. After all, they don't need to be responsible to the audience, as long as they satisfy their own ideas.

It is these people who control the rising channel, that is why Dangai is popular, and Dangai itself is not a problem, but "Dangai makes ugly men" is the big problem.

Not to mention that ordinary audiences cannot accept it, even the original audience cannot accept it.

At this time, Li Chenghao wondered whether this woman also belonged to this list. If he was spotted...

Fortunately, my background is not false, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Li Chenghao, first time meeting..." Several people also introduced themselves. Because Li Chenghao was pulled up to change clothes as soon as he arrived, so now they are officially meeting them.

After all, Li Chenghao is not the kind of rookie who is just looking for opportunities. On the contrary, they need Li Chenghao more, so their attitude is not intentional.

Although Song Dazhi is considered a good IP because of the success of the first film, the development of this sequel is logical, but after so many delays, no one can guarantee that it will be successful.

In addition, there was a storm of substitutions before it even started, which would definitely cause controversy among old audiences. If there is such an attention-grabbing "target" as Li Chenghao, the pressure on the entire crew will be greatly relieved .

At the same time, this is also a good topic, but Li Chenghao must be willing to cooperate with their hype.

Li Chenghao is not someone who can be manipulated by them. Even if they don't know the specific situation, but so many big bosses helped him stand before, as well as the inside information of "A Tale of Two Cities" this time, they dare not provoke Li Chenghao at will.

And if we only considered off-court factors at the beginning, then after Li Chenghao's appearance caught their eyes, all three of them had an idea in their hearts.

So fitting!

Of course, it may be preconceived, and the most suitable one in their hearts is naturally the original one, not to mention that Li Chenghao's style was originally dressed in that direction, and it didn't completely suit him, and he would definitely have to adjust it at that time.

After all, there is no absolute thing about styling. Generally, the best one is the one that suits you best. After all, many people have different head shapes, face shapes, temperaments, etc., and their styles will definitely be different.
