Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 325 Ex
Why do many actors prefer to act in big directors' films even though they have more profitable films to do, and are even willing to reduce their own pay to act in them, and are willing to play supporting roles in big directors' films?

Because working with a great director brings actors not only rewards in terms of pay, but more importantly, an increase in fame and status.

Especially the top directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others are destined to be written into the history of Chinese cinema, and even have a place in the history of world cinema. To be frank, by participating in their works, you can also go down in film history.

When future generations study movies and read film history, they will still watch the movies of these great directors. If you participate in a movie, future generations will be able to see you.

Unfortunately, as the first mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award, Li Qiutang will definitely be written into the history of Chinese cinema. The sensation caused by "In Time" in the international film scene also allowed him to leave his own mark in the history of world cinema in advance.

In Time is acclaimed by many left-wing filmmakers, and Li Qiutang's division and use of space in In Time has been used as a teaching case to students in film schools around the world.

The key point is that Li Qiutang is less than 30 years old. As a director, he still has 30-40 years of creative period.

What’s even more frightening is that, according to general rules, a film director will mature after the age of 40, and his fifties and sixties will be his golden period when he has the most thorough view of the world and his film techniques are the most mature.

In other words, Li Qiutang's golden period of creation has not yet arrived, and no one can predict what Li Qiutang's most mature and peak state will be like in twenty or thirty years.

This is what makes Li Qiutang so attractive to actors. In the film industry, he is no different from a piece of Tang Monk's meat.

This is why top TV drama star Sun Li is willing to make a friendly appearance in the supporting role of Li Qiutang, and why Liu Tao, who plays the role of a good wife and mother, is willing to destroy her own character to play the mistress of Li Qiutang in the movie.

But Li Qiutang was of no use to these two people, so he still decided on Qin Lan.

Putting aside their past friendship, Qin Lan had played many third parties before, and she was indeed more adept at playing this kind of role. Moreover, among all the actors who auditioned, Qin Lan was the most beautiful one. As the assistant director said, cheating with such a beauty was very convincing.

If friendship is taken into consideration, then there would be no problem in giving it to Qin Lan.

The casting team contacted Qin Lan's agent directly, and the other party agreed immediately after the words were spoken.

Originally, Qin Lan didn't want to take on the role of the third party. She had played too many roles and was scolded by the audience for it. But if Li Qiutang asked her to do it, then her principle would no longer apply.

After deciding on Qin Lan, Li Qiutang no longer wanted to decide on Huang Xiaoming because he was too...

Deng Chao can also play the role of a domineering boss, so he wants to find Deng Chao.

But Deng Chao refused. Compared with the improvement of his acting status brought by cooperating with Li Qiutang, Deng Chao cared more about his own transformation.

He is currently preparing for his directorial debut and cannot devote himself to acting. During the conversation, Deng Chao even joked that he would ask Li Qiutang for some guidance.

Li Qiutang didn't dare to touch Deng Chao's directorial work. He joked, "I'm too busy here, how can I guide you? If you need investment, our company can give it to you."

Li Qiutang thought too much. "Breakup Guru" was a work by a young director named Guangxian who followed the popularity of the Cantianshu project. The investment was not large, so Guangxian and Deng Chao divided the profit, so Qiu Qiu would not get any benefit at all.

Deng Chao didn't know that Qin Lan had already been cast in "The Invisible Guest", and he did not forget to recommend his wife to Li Qiutang. However, Li Qiutang just laughed it off and said that they were still selecting the actors and it was a headache for her.

After Deng Chao refused "The Invisible Guest", there were few middle-aged actors in mainland China who could play the role of a domineering CEO and catch Li Qiutang's eye.

Many of the actors he wanted to work with either had roles to play or were otherwise unable to take the role.

Duan Yihong’s schedule this year is already full. It’s not that he doesn’t want to take the job, but he really can’t.

No one knew which mountain Chen Kun was hiding in. When the staff contacted him, he said he wanted to practice and would not take any acting jobs for the time being.

Isn't it said that big directors' films are in great demand? Why is it so difficult for me to find a leading actor? Li Qiutang thought.

Huang Xiaoming somehow found out that the male lead for "The Invisible Guest" had not yet been decided, and he really felt that he was suitable, so he visited again.

He strongly talked about his rich experience in performing as a domineering boss and his relatively free schedule this year.

"If you don't need me, give me a reason." Huang Xiaoming fought very actively and asked very sincerely.

Li Qiutang said directly: "I have already given the second female role to Qin Lan, and the contract has been signed. If you don't mind, I have nothing to say."

Huang Xiaoming touched his nose awkwardly, but finally said, "I still want to act."

Compared to the embarrassment of appearing in the same frame with his ex-girlfriend, he was more reluctant to give up Li Qiutang's movie.

"You will also have intimate scenes." "I'm a professional actor." Huang Xiaoming almost bit his teeth off.

"Don't force yourself." Li Qiutang looked at Huang Xiaoming as if he was watching a play.

"No, I have no grudges against Qin Lan, why should I force myself?"

"Since you've said that, I won't say anything. Come to the audition tomorrow. I'll call Qin Lan over, and you two can act in a scene and see how it goes."

"Row!"

Li Qiutang told Qin Lan about this. Qin Lan was silent for a while and blamed Li Qiutang: "What did you do?"

"I've said so much, but he still wants to take the role. What can I do?" Li Qiutang couldn't help but laugh. This was indeed not a good job. "It's just a trial scene. Just perform normally tomorrow."

"I am a professional actor, I will definitely give my best performance."

Li Qiutang said: "Xiao Ming said exactly the same thing."

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Come early tomorrow."

At 10: the next morning, more than a dozen people crowded into the audition room of the Huairou Film and Television Base office of Autumn Pictures.

They all came to watch the fun, even Zhang Zhao came!

"You guys kind of look at the funeral and don't mind how big it is." Li Qiutang scolded with a smile.

"You can't see this play anywhere today. I've been waiting for it for so many years. I felt really bad when they broke up."

Ten minutes later, Qin Lan and Huang Xiaoming's cars arrived one after the other.

The two got out of the car without saying hello, but walked into the building and had to talk.

"Coming?" Qin Lan said first.

"Here I am, haha." Huang Xiaoming laughed dryly twice, then asked knowingly, "Are you here for an audition?"

"Well, come for the audition." Qin Lan was also not very comfortable, "What about you?"

"I...I came here to take a look and do something." This guy is really trying to save face.

The assistants of both men were almost embarrassed to death. This kind of scene would only happen once in eight hundred years.

Li Qiutang was watching her makeup in the dressing room, and Huang Qin and others came here to greet Li Qiutang first.

The documentary filming did not stop Li Qiutang from talking nonsense: "I told you not to come but you insisted on coming."

It is not known whether this was said to Huang Xiaoming or Qin Lan.

"More than a dozen people are here to watch your audition today, so be prepared."

"no problem."

"No problem, start putting on makeup and changing clothes. This is the script. We'll start in half an hour."

Li Qiutang threw down the script and ran away.

Huang and Qin sat next to each other, reading the script while the makeup artist did their styling.

Huang Xiaoming looked at the middle of the first page and clearly saw four words: Two people kissing.

This……
