Chapter 1289 Top Actor Mr. Li

In Li Mu's eyes, there are only a handful of outstanding actors in China, and even top actors are hard to find with a lantern.

Although he doesn't want to be ostentatious on this point, he has to say that Chinese film actors are far worse than Hollywood, and they are completely unmatched. In any Oscar film in the United States, the gold content of the actors' acting skills can almost kill the entire film in seconds. China Film and Television Circle.

However, Mr. Li Xuejian is one of the few Chinese actors who can be regarded as top actors in his eyes.

Li Mu felt that Mr. Li Xuejian and Tom Hanks could be said to be the same type of actors. Whoever they played was like who, even after they created a classic role, they would not solidify their image and temperament. At times, he can easily jump out of the constraints of all previous roles and create a brand new image.

This is easy to say, but for most actors, it is too difficult.

Li Youbin, who plays Li Yunlong in 2008, is also a very good actor in Li Mu's eyes, but he is not a top-notch actor, because after he has shaped the sword, his acting style cannot escape the traces of Li Yunlong. It will not happen to Teacher Li Xuejian and Tom Hanks.

Teacher Li Xuejian once played Lin Biao when he was 26 years old. In order to hold this image well, he hung pictures of Lin Biao all over the room and tried his best to lose weight to achieve the appearance of the other party's thinness. This is the noble professional ethics of the older generation of actors.

For the older generation of actors, what they pursue is acting itself, never to gain fame and fortune for themselves through acting. In their eyes, acting is no different from welders, fitters, and lathes, so all their experiences are used in research. How to act well is like a welder who wants to practice the skill of electric welding, so their acting skills will reach the pinnacle and become real artists.

However, with the continuous development of the economy and the continuous improvement of the people's demand for entertainment, the entertainment industry has really taken shape. At that time, the actors understood what business was and that the business operation represented endless wealth, so they put the vast majority of Part of the energy is spent on how to improve access to more resources, how to increase influence, and how to earn more money. When actors do not study their acting skills, they still expect some good actors and good works to be born.

At this moment, Spielberg was also very interested in the teacher Li Xuejian mentioned by Li Mu. He rarely heard Li Mu praise an actor so much, and he believed that the actor's acting skills must be quite good.

Soon, the staff came to the VIP reception room of the hotel, found Mr. Li Xuejian, and said to him: "Mr. Li, we, Mr. Li and Director Spielberg, are supervising the post-production work of the documentary, so I would like to invite you to take a look too. I don't know if you are interested?"

Teacher Li Xuejian asked curiously: "Documentary? Take the liberty to ask, I don't know what documentary about Mr. Li and Director Spielberg are doing?"

The staff knew that due to confidentiality in advance, these leading actors had not received relevant notices, so they explained: "Mr. Li has been doing public welfare activities to find the surviving Flying Tigers in Spring City during this time, and is preparing to edit it into a documentary. "

"Oh?" Teacher Li Xuejian said in surprise: "Then please take me there quickly."

...

The nearly fifty-year-old teacher Li Xuejian has not been as excited as today for a long time. For him, having the opportunity to appear in such a meaningful film is not only an affirmation, but also an honor.

As early as when Li Mu announced that he would start such a movie in Hollywood, Mr. Li Xuejian was attracted by the special history of the Second World War. He specially studied many materials of the Flying Tigers back then, not for anything else but to be able to. Learn more about the real situation of this history.

At that time, Mr. Li Xuejian never thought that he would be invited to appear in this movie.

Because he is very clear about his position, he is just an old actor, not commercial enough or popular enough, a young man in his early twenties like Li Mu, I am afraid he will not know himself, and even if he does, he will not think of himself, and Spear It is even more impossible for a world-class director like Berg to know himself. It is very rare for him to know a few actors who are slightly famous in China in the world.

After studying that period of history, Mr. Li Xuejian realized that the history is more admirable than he thought. At that time, Mr. Li had an extravagant hope in his heart: if he could play a role wholeheartedly in such a movie , no matter how big or small, that is the happiest and most satisfying thing for an actor.

What he never expected was that this wish, which seemed almost impossible to him, had come true.

Li Mu has some "negative impressions" of Mr. Li Xuejian. This negative impression comes from the role of Song Jiang in the TV series. The TV series created by CCTV premiered in January 1998. At that time, Li Mu was still in high school and was relatively angry with the youth. The role of Song Jiang played by Li Xuejian is abhorrent.

At that time, Li Mu felt that there are good men in Liangshan, but Song Jiang, who is hypocritical and righteous, is the biggest scourge. In the end, the death of everyone made Li Mu feel embarrassed, especially Song Jiang who wanted to be sanctioned by the imperial court. Thoughts, and the appearance of a servant when he bowed his knees in front of the imperial court, made Li Mu particularly disgusted in his youth.

It's also because Teacher Li Xuejian's interpretation of Song Jiang's character is so perfect and appropriate, so Li Mu can't help but have some negative impressions of him, but fortunately, he is a soul reborn in his thirties. I have seen Teacher Li Xuejian play it. Many characters have completely lost their inexplicable resistance.

The staff guided Mr. Li Xuejian to the room, and Li Mu took Spielberg to meet Mr. Li Xuejian for the first time.

Li Mu first shook hands with Teacher Li Xuejian and said, "Mr. Li, I have admired you for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet. Thank you for joining the production and filming!"

Teacher Li Xuejian hurriedly and humbly said: "Where, Mr. Li, you are the pride of our Chinese. I am just an actor. Besides, it is my honor to join. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Li Mu said: "You don't have to be so polite. As a top domestic actor, having you join me makes me look forward to it a lot more!"

After that, Li Mu said, "I'll introduce you to Director Spielberg in Hollywood."

Li Xuejian hurriedly said, "Director Spielberg's name is like thunder to my ears!"

Immediately, Li Xuejian reached out to Spielberg and said in unskilled English, "nice-to-meet-you."

Spielberg also hurriedly shook hands with Li Xuejian and said in Chinese, "Hello, nice to meet you."

Li Mu immediately acted as a translator and introduced the two to each other.

For Li Xuejian, it is indeed a great honor to meet the legendary director Spielberg and to work with him. Spielberg is eight years older than Li Xuejian, and he is a truly world-renowned master in the film industry. , In contrast, Li Xuejian is not only much younger, but his achievements are also much worse than him, so he is also very humble in heart.

After introducing the two to know each other, Li Mu said to Li Xuejian, "Mr. Li, the reason why I invited you and the other actors to come to Spring City today is because I want to arrange for you to meet and get to know the surviving Flying Tigers we have found so far. Come on, after all, everyone is interpreting their stories, and they should be respected in person."

Li Xuejian nodded again and again and said, "Before I received the invitation for this role, I have already checked a lot of information about the Flying Tigers. They are indeed a great group worthy of our respect and love. It couldn't be better."

After speaking, Li Xuejian asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, how many surviving old Flying Tigers did you find this time?"

Li Mu said: "We have found a total of more than 70 people, including more than 40 people in the United States and about 30 people in China. This time, there are 50 people in Spring City."

"So many!" Li Xuejian exclaimed: "A lot of them are from the United States?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded: "This time, more than 20 old Flying Tigers and their families have come to the United States."

Li Xuejian hurriedly said, "When can I arrange to meet them? I want to visit them now."

Li Mu said: "Today our staff took them to the outskirts of the city for a visit. When they came back in the afternoon, we arranged a dinner party in the evening, and then we will introduce you to everyone."

Li Xuejian sighed: "I just heard from the staff that you are doing a public welfare activity to find the surviving Flying Tigers. Why haven't I heard the news in Yanjing?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "My two companies and I jointly funded the establishment of a Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation, which is dedicated to solving various difficulties and problems in life for the surviving veterans of World War II, and finding the surviving Flying Tigers is just our foundation's job. One of the activities, the reason why the publicity was not launched, was because I wanted to combine the two things of the foundation and the search for the surviving Flying Tigers with the announcement conference of our movie characters. Well, it also maximizes the impact.”

Li Xuejian nodded again and again, and Li Mu said, "By the way, Mr. Li, let's take a look at some of the video clips we filmed in this public welfare activity. After reading it, give your opinion and see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

"it is good!"

Ten minutes later, Mr. Li Xuejian stared at the computer monitor, as if lost his mind.

The promotional video for the press conference this time is generally 90% complete. In the video interspersed with history and the present, with the tragic and majestic background music, Teacher Li Xuejian burst into tears.

A few minutes later, Teacher Li Xuejian finally recovered from his absence, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the thumb joints of both hands, and sighed, "These old people are really great, I am ashamed, I am also a soldier, But I haven't paid attention to the living conditions of the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War. I am really ashamed of my identity as a soldier, and I am ashamed! I am ashamed!"
