Chapter 1004 Li Xiaodong, are you still okay?
Li Xiaodong didn't expect that when "Titanic" was in theaters, he would receive a notice from the company to join the crew, and he would play the leading role in a movie crew! Li Xiaodong was already familiar with this kind of pie in the sky. After all, if you stay in the Earthling Studio for a long time, you will find that an opportunity that others dream of is completely a matter of Lin Fan's fingers slipping.
If Li Xiaodong still had some ambition before - after all, if he couldn't make a name for himself, he would have to go home and inherit billions of dollars - but after being hit from all sides by Lin Fan, Li Xiaodong has completely recognized his own abilities, clearly knows where his limits are, and understands in which direction he should work hard.
In addition, the company has always provided me with resources. If this still doesn't make me popular, then it is really my fate that I am not destined to become a big star.
After all, there has always been a famous saying in this circle: small fire depends on support, big fire depends on luck.
No matter how many resources a person has - for example, the C position of a certain group back then, the company invested so many resources in him, but he just could never become popular. Now that the capital is gone, the person has completely disappeared.
And how many unknown people - such as Lin Fan, who has no resources and no connections, became famous by relying on his personal trait - laziness, and became the biggest winner of that year's talent show.
To be honest, Lai Siu-tung has always been thankful that Lin Fan did not debut as part of a group. Otherwise, according to the nature of Star Entertainment, it would be impossible for Lin Fan to get rid of this group of vampires unless the company squeezed out every last bit of his surplus value.
Lu Bingyang is the best example.
Of course, Lin Fan was not so easy to bully, and a head-on confrontation would result in both sides being hurt. By then, if Lin Fan wanted to achieve his current success, he would probably have to spend more time and energy.
But none of this happened. Brother Fan is still the carefree and unrestrained Brother Fan, and the C position who was so obscure that even his name could not be remembered has completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry.
As for myself, I was clinging to Brother Fan's thigh and living a happy life.
With this mentality, Li Xiaodong joined the group, and was then completely abused by Liang Wen.
"Li Xiaodong, you've been quite relaxed recently. I remember your performance was very natural when you last joined the group. Why are you so hesitant and restrained now?"
"Li Xiaodong, are you still okay? Didn't I tell you about this scene? Why can't you grasp the key points?"
"Li Xiaodong, look at how much time you have wasted. Zhou Xiang always passes it in one try, but how come you can't pass it in two or three tries?"
…
Lai Siu-tung: ...I have no doubt that it was Brother Fan who was scolding someone.
Director Liang has been following Brother Fan for so long that he has even learned the essence of Brother Fan's swearing skills to the core, making it hard for people to even look at him directly.
But no matter how much he cursed, there was no director on the set who didn't curse. Lai Siu-tung also understood that Liang Wen cursed him for his own good, and that he really had not met his expectations, so it was no wonder that Liang Wen was anxious and angry.
To put it another way, being scolded by the director on the set is better than being scolded by the audience after the movie is released.
So Lai Siu-tung had a very good attitude. In his spare time, he would consult and learn from Liang Wen, Zhou Xiang, and other actors in the crew.
Most of the actors who can join this crew can be regarded as the Earthling Studio’s own family members. In addition, Lai Siu-tung and Zhou Xiang are the company’s main artists, so everyone is willing to sell them well.
One party sincerely sought advice, the other party wanted to curry favor, and the two parties hit it off and got along very happily. Although Lai Siu-tung's progress cannot be described as rapid, it is still obvious to all.
When the filming footage was brought back to the company, Lin Fan, Yang Hongxia, and Wen Hongjun watched Lai Siu-tung's performance together and all thought, "It's OK. Lai Siu-tung has made obvious progress."
"If we continue to shoot at this level, this drama will definitely be good."
"Li Xiaodong's face is also very advantageous. He looks very youthful and doesn't look like a man in his twenties at all. He looks like he has just reached adulthood."
Wen Hongjun was right. The best thing about Li Xiaodong was his face. It was obvious that he had never experienced the harsh treatment of society since childhood. He had the innocence and honesty unique to teenagers, which gave people a very comfortable impression.
So there is no sense of incongruity when playing such a young role.
Lin Fan also has a strong sense of youth, but unlike Lai Siu-tung, Lin Fan has a more upright look. And as Lin Fan's acting skills get better and better and he has more experience, this sense of youth is gradually fading and evolving into the charm of a mature man.
In addition, Lin Fan's acting skills have been certified by the system, so there is no problem of transformation. But Lai Xiaodong is not like that. He set himself up as a comedian from the beginning, and the movie "Wulin Waijiao" made his image as a comedian deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with the positioning that Li Xiaodong gave himself, and Yang Hongxia also approved of the planning that Li Xiaodong made for her.
But, who can blame the Earthling Studio for developing too fast? The subsequent artist training can't keep up with the rapid development speed? They can only "sacrifice" Lai Siu-tung, let him adapt to more roles as soon as possible, and let the audience adapt to Lai Siu-tung's multi-faceted personality as soon as possible, so that Lai Siu-tung can "stand up" as soon as possible and become a pillar of the Earthling Studio.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Compared to the worrying Li Xiaodong, Zhou Xiang is much less of a worry.
Zhou Xiang has a good image and temperament, better acting skills, and most importantly, he can endure loneliness. He has no complaints about the company, Yang Hongxia, and Lin Fan because of his slow development.
On the contrary, Zhou Xiang completed all the training tasks assigned to her by Yang Hongxia down to earth. When fans felt that Zhou Xiang was not valued in the Earthling Studio, she still stuck to her original intention and did not show any impetuousness.
Facing such an obedient and sensible child, Yang Hongxia still felt distressed: "Is it time for Zhou Xiang to start taking on the role of the absolute heroine?"
Lin Fan thought about it in his mind. The movies he had seen with outstanding female protagonists - well, it seemed that none of them were suitable for Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang was still too young to handle such a role.
On the contrary, Lin Fan felt that there were a few movies that were quite suitable for Xia Yan to star in.
"I have to go back and think about it carefully to see if there is any suitable script."
It just so happens that I can go back and write the scripts for the movies that are suitable for Xia Yan. Well, I can direct them myself! Yang Hongxia didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Lin Fan also needed time to conceive the script, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Before the script comes out, it is better not to tell Zhou Xiang this news, so as not to affect the current filming.
