Chapter 533 I Don’t Have the Final Say on This
Although Li Ye spoke very objectively, he said that it would be very difficult for "Looking Homeward" to win an Oscar.
But all the actors and crew members at the scene were all beaming with joy, especially Pan Hong, who played the princess in the movie, and several other actors, whose eyes were filled with bright and excited colors.
Li Zhiyi was moved and remembered a rumor from this era.
It is said that there was a strange phenomenon in the mainland film and television industry in the 1980s, that is, whoever won the Best Actress Award would go abroad. Regardless of whether it was voluntary or forced, no matter which actress won the award, basically she could not escape this Spell.
And if you can win an international award like an Oscar, it should be even easier!
Pan Hong saw Li Ye looking at her, and immediately smiled and said, "Classmate Li Ye, I heard that your literary club's "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" has also begun preparations for filming, right?"
Li Ye nodded slightly and said, "We have indeed started to prepare for filming, but when it will start, Director Xiong still has the final say. We are only responsible for things related to the script."
Pan Hong smiled and suddenly took out a stack of thick manuscript paper from her bag.
"I have been reading the novel "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" recently, and I have some insights into the role of the heroine Tan Qi in the play. Can you help me read it, give me some opinions, and correct any inappropriate things?"
Li Ye glanced at Pan Hong in surprise, but still took the stack of manuscript papers.
But he then said: "There is actually no heroine in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". The protagonists are Zhang Xiaojing and Li Mi. Tan Qi only has more scenes at most."
Pan Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, I will treat it hard."
"Oh, have your roles been chosen? In fact, how to grasp the role depends on the director's arrangements. My opinion may have the wrong impact on you."
Li Ye opened the manuscript paper and wanted to see what was written inside.
It is normal for actors in this era to have a deep knowledge and understanding of their roles. The actor who plays Daiyu in Dream of Red Mansions sent a similar experience of the role to the crew during the audition stage.
But as soon as Li Ye opened the manuscript, he felt Lao Xiong kick his foot.
Li Ye closed the manuscript calmly and said gently: "It's hard for everyone to come here. It is also a major event for our literary club. Let's have a meal first, and then we will hold an exchange meeting to discuss the transition between literature and film and television. relation."
"Yes, yes, we have many questions and want to discuss them with professionals in the film and television industry."
"."
Many students in the literary club immediately agreed with Li Ye's proposal, because they did have a lot to say to a big star like Pan Hong.
After everyone left the literary club, Li Ye took the opportunity to ask Director Xiong with a smile: "What's wrong, Brother Xiong, did you kick me just now intentionally or unintentionally?"
Director Xiong said tangledly: "Hey, brother! There are some things I can't tell you clearly, but... do you think Pan Hong is suitable for the role of Tan Qi?"
Li Ye glanced at Director Xiong and said with a smile: "Why do I think she is suitable for the role? Aren't you the ones who have the final say on which actor will be used?"
"No, brothers' opinions are useful and very useful."
Director Xiong shook his head and said calmly: "During the two years of filming, Mr. Huo put forward many opinions on filming. Later, the crew basically adopted them, and achieved very good results."
"Later, Mr. Huo accidentally revealed that many of the opinions actually came from you, Li Ye, and your relationship with Mr. Pei, so you'd better not express your opinions casually to avoid being taken advantage of."
Li Ye blinked and said with a smile: "So, you are not willing to continue using Pan Hong?"
Pan Hong was already a well-known actor in the Mainland before, and her fame will only grow even more after watching "Looking Homeward", so since she doesn't want to use her, there must be another reason.
Director Xiong clicked his tongue and said somewhat cryptically: "It's not convenient for me to tell you the specific situation. Just listen to my words, brother. Some women are just trouble."
"Hey, it's still mysterious. Isn't it because she divorced Director Mi and there are rumors of another scandal? Old Xiong, you are not a friend enough. You have hidden all these hot things from me."
Director Xiong said in surprise: "Brother, do you know all this kind of thing?"
Li Ye smiled proudly: "I know more."
The mainland film and television industry in the 1980s seemed to be less troubled than later generations, but it couldn't be absolutely clean either.
In the first year after Pan Hong graduated from school, she got the opportunity to star in a movie. The director of that movie was Mikashan, who later became Pan Hong's husband.
From then on, Pan Hong began to become popular until 1985.
In 1985, Director Mi's director father retired, and Pan Hong immediately divorced Director Mi, claiming, "We are eight years apart in age. We only have family ties, not love."
But the problem is that Pan Hong later had scandals with two other directors, both of whom were older than Director Mi.
One of the director's original partners was very powerful. She left no room at all and exposed her family scandal. She posted Pan Hong's love letter to her husband all over the bulletin board and forced Pan Hong to apologize.
Later, Pan Hong once had a boyfriend, but his father did not agree and had no choice but to let it go.
But what is ironic is that the father married the first wife who exposed her family scandal.
So that circle has always been prone to some interesting things since ancient times.
Now Pan Hong suddenly divorced Director Mi, it seems that there are some subtle effects on the future.
Director Mi is not an ordinary person. Even if his father retired, he still has friends. For example, a certain Han Sanye, who has not yet become a big boss, is a very good brother to Director Mi.
"Brother Li Ye, the directors are very busy recently, so in a few days, they will come to discuss the selection of actors with you, because the people you chose this time are very suitable, so... your opinion is very important."
"."
The success of "Hometown Lonely Army" made Li Ye gain the trust of many people, but this trust is also troublesome.
. . . . . . . . .
A few days later, people from Chang'an Film Studio and Beijing Film Studio found Li Ye together.
Li Ye was a little strange, because "The Longest Day in Chang'an" has basically been confirmed to be filmed by Chang'an Film Studio, what is Beijing Film Studio doing?
[Will it be the end of the matter, and will they quarrel again? 】
In the 1980s, the Jilin Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, Bayi Film Studio and Beijing Film Studio were the strongest in the mainland, while Chang'an Film Studio was much weaker, but the Tang Dynasty Film City was located in Shaanxi Province, so they had a geographical advantage.
If they really quarreled, it would be troublesome again.
But what Li Ye didn't expect was that this time they were not here to discuss "The Twelve Hours in Chang'an".
"Student Li Ye, we intend to bring another novel of yours to the screen, so we hope you can cooperate as soon as possible and turn the novel into a script."
Li Ye was stunned, thought about it and said: "You want to shoot "The Hidden"? But can that movie pass the review? And I think "The Hidden" is more suitable for a TV series!"
"No, we are not going to shoot "The Hidden", but "The Deserter in the Fire."
"."
"You are going to shoot the Deserter in the Fire?"
Li Ye was stunned, and the pain of being urged by countless big guys emerged in his mind.
After a long time, Li Ye told the truth: "This is not my say."
