Chapter 1289

In Li Mu's eyes, there are only a few outstanding Chinese actors, and the top actors are even more difficult to find with lanterns.

Although he doesn't want to worship foreign things and fawn on foreign things, it has to be said that Chinese movie actors are far worse than Hollywood. It's impossible to catch up with them. In any Oscar Movie in the United States, the gold content of a single actor's acting skills can almost kill the whole Chinese movie circle.

However, Mr. Li Xuejian is a rare Chinese actor who can be regarded as a top actor in his eyes.

Li Mu thinks that Mr. Li Xuejian and Tom Hanks are the same kind of actors. Even after they have created a classic role, they will not solidify their image and temperament. When they play the next role, they can easily jump out of the constraints of all previous roles and create a new image.

It's easy to say, but it's too hard for most actors.

Li Youbin, who plays Li Yunlong in Liangjian, is also a very excellent actor in Li Mu's eyes. However, he is not top-notch, because after he has shaped Liangjian, the acting style can not escape the traces of Li Yunlong. Such things will not happen to Li Xuejian and Tom Hanks.

At the age of 26, Mr. Li Xuejian once played Lin Biao. In order to hold this image, he hung Lin Biao's photo all over the room, tried to lose weight to achieve the appearance of each other's emaciation. At last, he pretended to be like this, which was the noble professional ethics of the older generation of actors.

For the older generation of actors, what they pursue is the acting itself, never through acting to gain fame and fortune for themselves. In their eyes, acting is no different from welder, fitter and Turner, so all their experiences are used to study how to play well, just like a welder who wants to practice the welding skill, so their acting skills will peak To be a real artist.

However, with the continuous development of the economy and the continuous improvement of the people's demand for entertainment, the entertainment circle really took shape. At that time, the actors learned what is business and knew that the back of business operation represents endless wealth, so they spent most of their energy on how to improve their access to more resources, how to improve their influence and how to earn more Money, when actors do not go to study acting skills, what good actors and works are expected to be born.

At this moment, Spielberg also has a strong interest in Li Xuejian, the teacher in Li Mu's mouth. He rarely heard Li Mu praise an actor so much. He believes 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 Mr. Spielberg, are supervising the later work of the documentary, so I would like to invite you to have a look at it, do you have any interest?"

Teacher Li Xuejian asked curiously, "documentary? What kind of documentary is director Li and Steven Spielberg doing? "

The staff knew that due to the confidentiality in advance, the stars had not received the relevant notice, so they explained: "President Li has been doing public welfare activities in Chuncheng during this period of time to find the surviving Flying Tigers, and is preparing to edit into a documentary."

"Oh?" Li Xuejian said pleasantly, "please take me there."

……

Mr. Li Xuejian, who is nearly 50 years old, has not been so excited for a long time. For him, it is not only a kind of affirmation but also an honor to have the chance to play in such a meaningful film as flying tigers.

As early as Li Mu announced to launch such a movie in Hollywood, Mr. Li Xuejian was attracted by the special history of that period of World War II. He went to study a lot of materials of the Flying Tigers at that time, for nothing else but to learn more about the real situation of this period of history.

At that time, Mr. Li Xuejian never thought that he would be invited to play in this movie, because he knows his own position very well. He is just an old actor, not commercial or popular enough. A young man in his early twenties, like Li Mu, probably won't know himself, just know and won't think of himself. And a world-class director like Spielberg, I'm afraid It is even more impossible for him to know himself. It is very rare for him to know a few famous Chinese actors in the world.

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

What he never thought was that this wish, which seemed to him almost impossible to achieve, came true.

Li Mu has some "negative impression" on Li Xuejian's teacher. This negative impression comes from Song Jiang, who plays in "outlaws of the marsh". The TV play created by CCTV was premiered in January 1998. At that time, Li Mu was still in high school and relatively angry. He hated Li Xuejian's role in Song Jiang.

At that time, Li Mu thought that all the heroes in Liangshan were the most serious disaster, only the false Song River. At last, the death of all the dead people made Li Mu feel strangled for a long time, especially Song Jiang's thought that he hoped to be Zhao'an by the imperial court and his appearance as a slave when he knelt down in front of the court, which made Li Mu especially disgusted in his youth.It's also because Mr. Li Xuejian's interpretation of Song Jiang is so perfect and appropriate, so Li Mucai can't help but have some negative impression on himself. Fortunately, he is a soul rebirth in his thirties. After seeing many roles played by Mr. Li Xuejian, he has completely lost the original inexplicable resistance.

The staff led Mr. Li Xuejian to the room. Li Mu and Spielberg met Mr. Li Xuejian for the first time.

Li Mu shook hands with Li Xuejian and said, "Miss Li, I have admired you for a long time. Finally, I have a chance to meet you. Thank you for joining the production and shooting of flying tigers!"

Mr. Li Xuejian said modestly and hurriedly: "where, Mr. Li, you are the pride of our Chinese people. I'm just an actor. Besides, it's my honor to join the Flying Tigers. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"You don't have to be so polite," said Li Mu. "As a top actor in China, Flying Tigers has your joining in, which makes me look forward to it a lot more!"

After that, Li Mu said, "let me introduce you to Spielberg, director of Hollywood."

Li Xuejian hurriedly said, "I'm as famous as Spielberg!"

Then Li Xuejian reached out to Spielberg and said, "nice to meet you."

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

Li Mu then acted as a translator and introduced each other.

It's a great honor for Li Xuejian to meet and cooperate with Spielberg, the legendary director. Spielberg is eight years older than Li Xuejian, and he is a real world-renowned master in the film industry. In contrast, Li Xuejian is not only a lot younger, but also a lot less successful than him, so he is very humble.

After introducing the two people to each other, Li Mu said to Li Xuejian, "Mr. Li, the reason why you and other actors are invited to Chuncheng today is that I want to arrange for you to meet and meet with the surviving Flying Tigers we are looking for. After all, they are interpreting their stories and should show respect to them face to face."

Li Xuejian nodded repeatedly, saying: "before I received the invitation of this character, I had looked up a lot of information about the Flying Tigers. They are really a great group worthy of our respect and love. It's really great to pay homage to them."

Said, Li Xuejian asked Li Mu, "President Li, how many surviving old Flying Tigers did you find this time?"

"There are more than 70 people we have found so far, including more than 40 in the United States, about 30 in China, and a total of 50 people who have come to Chuncheng this time," Li said

"So many!" Li Xuejian exclaimed, "are there many more from America?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded: "there are more than 20 old flying tigers and their families in the United States this time."

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 visit the outskirts of the city and came back in the afternoon. In the evening, we arranged a dinner party. At that time, we will introduce you to everyone."

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

Li Mu said with a smile: "my two companies and I have jointly funded the establishment of a charity foundation for surviving veterans, which is dedicated to solving various difficulties and problems in life for surviving veterans in World War II. Looking for surviving flying tigers is just one of our foundation's activities. The reason why we didn't launch the publicity is that I want to integrate the foundation and the surviving Flying Tigers We will do these two things together with our film role release conference. It's just the so-called blockbuster, which can also maximize the influence. "

Li Xuejian nodded repeatedly, and Li Mu said, "by the way, Mr. Li, let me show you some video clips of our public welfare activity. After watching them, I'll give you some suggestions and see what needs to be modified."

"Good!"

Ten minutes later, Li Xuejian's eyes were fixed on the computer monitor, and the whole person lost his mind.

The promotional film for the press conference has been completed by 90% on the whole. In the videos interspersed with history and the present, accompanied by the tragic and majestic background music, Mr. Li Xuejian is in tears.

A few minutes later, Mr. Li Xuejian finally recovered from his loss of mind, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb joints, and exclaimed: "these old men are so great and ashamed. I'm also a soldier, but I haven't paid attention to the living conditions of the veterans of the Anti Japanese war. I'm really ashamed of my identity as a soldier! I'm so ashamed! "
