Chapter 2041 Creating a Series of Characters
"American Legendary Life Novel ()" to find the latest chapter!
What Evan could think of, how could Li Zitao ignore it.
Even if he really forgets, there is still a secretary office to handle the cleanup for him.
Therefore, Evan's curiosity is destined to last for a long time.
The opening ceremony of the Carnival Hotel was grand, and Garbo was invited to attend.
One can imagine how other celebrities dare not come?
Looking at the whole of Hollywood, no one is bigger, more legendary and topical than her.
Even Bruce, who is at the height of his popularity, is extremely topical.
In front of Jiabao, she was just a pink and pure newcomer.
When the two of them stand together for an interview, he will be immediately ignored by the reporter as if he were a passerby!
This also has something to do with Garbo's style.
The number of interviews she has received over the years can be counted on one hand.
Mystery enveloped her like a veil that could never be torn apart.
It seems that no one can ever see through that veil and see through the real Garbo.
Li Zitao has the most say on this point, because he is the only one who can see through the "black veil" and see through the essence.
Not only can you see through it, but you can also... wear it.
"Bruce, this way."
As a young actor currently being highly praised by DreamWorks, he is expected to open up the Asian market. ’
Evan is happy to be able to introduce him to more people.
In addition to the stars of DreamWorks, there are also popular stars of other major companies present today.
But none of them were the stars of the party.
Those directors and film selection directors from major companies are in charge of money and casting.
Distributor for filming and scheduling of films.
They are the absolute protagonists of this party.
Compared with these big shots, celebrities are just toys used to please themselves. If they are waved, they will come and if they are recruited, they will go.
Follow Evan as he meets and chats with big shots like producers, directors, supervisors, and senior executives of large companies.
Li Zitao knows everyone in more detail than what they describe.
Understanding the power structure of Hollywood was a required course for him after he became Bruce.
Evan introduced more than a dozen people to him, but only two or three could really be remembered by Li Zitao.
It's not that he can't remember, but it's not necessary.
"For your next film, the company plans to invite director Hankison to hold a knife himself."
"The editorial team is working hard to produce a script that best suits your image, including background, character history..."
"Character history?" Li Zitao is somewhat different. What kind of history does a movie character need?
That’s not to say that there isn’t the slightest bit of construction of the character’s background, but it’s just that there’s no need to go into depth.
If it was just a simple film background, how could it be worthy of Evan’s special mention?
"Yes, I plan to make the character you play into a series, a Chinese series!"
Evan said with excited eyes: "This will be a new and bold attempt. We are going to make your character into a series of characters in the film, and a series of stories will happen around him."
Doing this is naturally a good thing for Li Zitao, and it is equivalent to forming a binding interest with DreamWorks.
As for whether he will be kidnapped by the company and the series, and whether the character image will be fixed, these are things that need to be considered later.
"Do I have a say in the characters?" Li Zitao looked at him and asked seriously.
As an actor, this is naturally a good thing.
But he didn't become a star just to be famous and enjoy the feeling of being admired and admired.
"Of course, I was just going to tell you about it."
In Evan's description, he attaches great importance to Bruce's opinions.
After all, he himself is of Chinese descent, and he also voices the role.
The specific background design and character image should naturally best fit him.
Although the performance is fake, reality is very important if you want to create a classic image.
Otherwise, what else would be needed for casting?
You can pull a dog up and act...
"I want to meet with the editorial team as soon as possible."
Li Zitao realized that this was a rare opportunity if he could create a classic positive Chinese character.
And it’s a series.
Then the image's 'survival time' will be longer and it will be more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The impact is naturally different from that of fast food.
…
A week later, Li Zitao met the team leader responsible for the architectural background in the editorial team.
Daniel Haiwen, a strange name.
"Bruce." Haiwen's attitude was lukewarm and seemed a bit formulaic.
"Haiwen." Li Zitao smiled faintly and his expression returned to normal.
"Let's take a look at the current work progress first!" Haiwen took him to the studio.
A mountain of typing paper is placed on the table. Some people are whispering and discussing, and some are walking back and forth.
It's more about organizing the scattered characters and background information through the typewriter.
"John, bring here the information we have compiled."
Looking at the pile of documents brought by the young man, Haiwen patted it and said, "You can read these first."
After the other party finished speaking, he walked away, and Li Zitao and Heidi sat down.
"Is this a show of force?" Heidi complained disdainfully as she watched Haiwen leave.
But Evan asked them to provide what they encountered. If he had any problems or dissatisfaction, he could go to the president's office to complain.
"He's just doing his job. Read these first before talking." Li Zitao picked up the top document.
Looking through the background of the story in his hand, Li Zitao's thoughts slowly got into it.
The protagonist of the story, A, is an orphan who has lived in Chinatown in Los Angeles since he was a child.
The person who adopted him was a respected Chinese warrior with great kung fu skills.
After adopting A, he taught him a strict self-discipline.
It included some messy Chinese ideas that foreigners misunderstood, which made Li Zitao frown.
That's it?
Is this the essence of what the editorial team has worked so hard to summarize?
Let any serious Chinese-American look at it. This thing will either make people laugh to death or make them angry to death.
Li Zitao belongs to the latter group, and the more he sees the narrow interpretation of Chinese thought, the more angry he becomes.
"Can you tell me who added these?" Li Zitao pointed to the text on the paper and interrupted the typist's typing.
"These spirits?"
The other party took a glance, looked up and pointed to the corner: "Over there, Han."
Looking in the direction of his finger, Han raised his head when he heard the sound.
Their eyes met, and the two of them thought at the same time: they were not their own.
Han Guizhong is an editorial assistant from the Southern Peninsula.
Regarding the Chinese thoughts, culture and spirit in the background of the series, almost all of them refer to his opinions.
So, after watching half of it.
Li Zitao took the initiative to find Haiwen, and the first question he asked was: "Why do we need a Peninsular to interpret the cultural spirit and thoughts of the Chinese people?"
"Han has a deep understanding of the Far East and we think he is a qualified candidate."
