Chapter 385, Greed and Arrogance!
"You are very greedy. You want both Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu. Isn't that too greedy?"
At this time, Lu Zhengguang also heard about Li Yun's feat in the audition for "The New Three Kingdoms".
Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming.
Everyone went there with one role, except Li Yun, who presented two roles, two completely opposite roles at that.
These two guys are completely opposite in terms of role positioning and personality.
As for the audition itself, only a crazy person would do such a thing.
Even if it's greedy.
There has to be a limit.
If they were two third-tier characters, it would still be acceptable, but both Zhuge Kongming and Lu Bu were first-tier characters.
All of them.
It's easy to lose everything.
This is a very simple and clear truth.
Lu Zhengguang doesn't believe you and you don't understand this point. He also feels that Li Yun was indeed a bit impulsive in this matter.
A bit expanded.
This work is a bit rough.
Li Yun was also calm about this.
"Grandpa Lu, they are both my dearest children. I can't abandon them no matter what."
Lu Zhengguang: “.”
At this moment, Lu Zhengguang, who was in his office, was almost speechless.
I knew that my beloved grandson was an arrogant guy, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
What this means is that he clearly knew about this matter.
But the two characters are still chosen to be presented together. "The New Three Kingdoms" is different from previous scripts. It is a real ensemble drama.
Each character almost revealed a flaw.
If you are caught, you will be breaking the law.
This is true for both actors and directors.
It is conceivable that director Gao Xinxin is also under a lot of pressure now, as this is Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four great classics.
Moreover, he has a previous work, the Old Three Kingdoms. If there is any mistake, he will be the target of criticism, and the generous resources will become a stain on his black history.
Therefore, the director needs to be cautious and careful in choosing roles.
Even from the perspective of the test, Li Yun's behavior was a bit frivolous.
Quite frivolous.
If I were the director, I would definitely not be able to give out any roles.
I can't give it to you.
If a person tells himself that he has prepared two completely opposite roles, then the degree of credibility will be infinitely reduced.
No matter what his past experience is.
Impulsive? Maybe a little.
Everyone who knows about this has talked about their impulsive decision in choosing this role.
Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming, these two characters cannot be discussed together at all.
This is a feeling that cannot be confused at all.
Li Yun also felt that if it were an ordinary person, these two characters would essentially be unable to resonate with each other.
The gap between them is too big.
So big that they are completely from a different world.
One person plays two roles on the same set.
How should the audience think? In the old Three Kingdoms, there were times when one person played two roles.
But they are all third- and fourth-tier characters, and those with names and reputations would never dare to do this.
Not to mention that they are the protagonists in their respective chapters.
"He is so arrogant and conceited. He is so young and yet he is so ignorant. I have never seen anyone so arrogant." Even the old director of the Bayi Factory was stunned at this time. Logically speaking.
His impression of Li Yun is now neither good nor bad.
Although he still has some prejudices against such secular actors, his works have demonstrated his strength far beyond that of young people.
The strength is unquestionable.
As an actor, he is barely worthy of the title within the system.
But there is one thing that is worthy of doubt.
That is his absolutely inflated ambition.
Although I have seen ambitious people before, this is the first time I have seen someone as arrogant as him.
Especially the old factory director, who was a fan of the Three Kingdoms himself, felt that Li Yun was at a loss at this moment.
Lu Bu is a character with extremely polarized opinions. People who like his bravery naturally like him, but there are also many people who hate his character. But no matter what, he is not a character worthy of respect.
Zhuge Kongming.
A character that people have to respect, whether they like him or hate him.
A wise man that one cannot help but admire.
Regardless of his stance and ideas, even if Lu Bu lived to that time, he would probably admire Zhuge Kongming.
One is Mr. Kong Ming.
One is a slave of three surnames.
The difference between them is as great as heaven and earth.
Not to mention whether the Three Kingdoms fans can tolerate it, even ordinary audiences and actors in the crew may not be able to tolerate it.
The old factory manager originally felt that this young man, Li Yun, might have to pay a price for his arrogance.
For example, this time I could have gotten a half role.
But under his arrogant operation.
This half role is gone.
However, when Liu Hewei and Chen Jianbo, two old guys from the Bayi Factory, told him, it's done.
Li Yun really took on two roles by himself.
This almost made him spit out his tea.
It's ruined, all ruined.
"The New Three Kingdoms" is doomed and will become a disgrace in the history of remakes.
It's a done deal.
"I'm beginning to feel sorry for you." The old factory director looked at Liu Hewei and Chen Jianbo with a complicated expression.
"I can't think of that either." Liu Hewei said with a complicated look in his eyes: "Although I think Li Yun can play the role of Zhuge Kongming, but taking on two roles in one play, and two important roles at that, is indeed an extremely impulsive act by the director."
Liu Hewei.
He actually couldn't quite understand this point. The decision made by Gao Xinxin violated any principles of role selection.
To put it bluntly, this impulse can easily ruin an excellent TV series.
Mr. Gao is too much of a gambler.
Or perhaps this idea is a bit too radical.
No matter what his purpose and idea was, letting one person play two such important roles was definitely an impulsive act.
Very impulsive.
"It seems that the Four Great Classics will still be the 1980s version of the Four Great Classics."
A classic work of the old generation.
It will still have a classic feel.
After all, if we continue like this.
It's not certain how many good reviews it will get.
The old factory director said this somewhat helplessly, which made him believe even more that only the system can save the domestic entertainment industry.
Gao Xinxin, this person still has too many capitalist-roader traits.
Unlike the 1980s version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is an excellent work produced by everyone working together within the system.
Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.
He reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted and was the white moonlight in the hearts of all Three Kingdoms fans, and his performance lived up to his reputation back then.
It really deserves the title.
It has indeed achieved some degree of success.
It is not easy for latecomers to surpass.
And carrying such pressure.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Gao Xinxin actually chose Li Yun to play two roles as if nothing had happened. I don’t know whether I should admire his courage or feel helpless about his unreasonable decision.
But if you think rationally... No, if you think rationally, you won't make such a choice, you won't make such an extremely dangerous choice.
At this time, Gao Xinxin's decision also caused an uproar in the industry.
Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming were played by the same person, which was enough for the industry to sentence this project to death.
Lu Yi plays Zhou Yu Sun Ce is played by Sha Yi.
Diao Chan is played by Liu Qianqian.
Lin Qingru is Da Qiao Chen Haohao is Xiao Qiao After this list of characters came out.
Diao Chan, who was originally controversial, seemed so powerless when Li Yun played two roles at the same time.
This pace is really too fast.
It’s even a little hard to understand.
How dare he give such an important role to the same person? This is unscientific.
"So why shouldn't I dare?"
At this time, Gao Xinxin was faced with the phone calls that came one after another, and even the greetings from Director Ouyang, and she didn't quite understand why Gao Xinxin made a crazy decision at this time.
In fact, Gao Xinxin also felt that her decision was a bit impulsive, but in fact, she made the choice based on her own logic.
It's not something that was made randomly.
"In fact, when I made this decision, I was very clear about what I was doing. I fully understood the risks of doing so. But there is one thing I think you need to understand. As a director, the decision I made was to choose the most suitable actor, at least the most suitable actor in the audition stage. This is the truth I learned from the old Three Kingdoms. It is the decision I made after fully absorbing and recognizing the works of my predecessors."
Gao Xinxin was extremely serious about this matter.
He came to this conclusion after watching the old Romance of the Three Kingdoms countless times.
The word "suitable" and its importance.
The Old Three Kingdoms used many suitable actors, and many of them were not even professionals, but the results they presented were even better than those of excellent actors, because the selection principle followed by The Old Three Kingdoms was to be suitable enough.
When he saw He Rundong and Lu Yi, what came to his mind was that they should be a good match.
They all have the impression of the characters themselves in the eyes of the public.
Quite consistent.
Even Gao Xinxin's own impression was quite consistent with it.
But when he saw Li Yun's Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the Sleeping Dragon and the Tiger General were alive before him.
Gao Xinxin felt it from the bottom of her heart.
If they were still alive, they would have the same image and look like this.
They live right before their eyes.
Really live.
So he took the gamble. From his perspective, it was a huge gamble.
To bet on the most suitable person, the one who, in his eyes, is most suitable to play the role of Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming.
According to this principle, he felt that he had never crossed the line.
I feel from the bottom of my heart that the person in front of me is suitable for this role.
Even Liu Xuande and Prime Minister Dong recognized him at first sight.
How could he not be suitable?
To suit this.
He was willing to take the chance.
Even if this is a possibility, everyone thinks there is at least a 70% chance of failure.
But isn't there still a 30% chance that it won't fail? I want to make a good movie.
Don't think about compromising.
If you are going to use something, use the best.
At least I think it's the best.
"When everyone thought that our "New Three Kingdoms" was a money-making and powerless work, I used a more radical plan to push forward."
Gao Xinxin murmured at this moment.
This is a bet made to catch up with the works of predecessors and to catch up with the glory of predecessors.
Let me take a gamble.
Is resume more important, or is obvious suitability more important? When the audition results for "New Three Kingdoms" came out, everyone was shocked.
At least people in the circle and fans of the Three Kingdoms were shocked.
One person playing two roles?
If you want to pay tribute to the old Three Kingdoms, that’s fine.
But it’s not necessary to pay tribute to such an important role.
Lu Bu and the Prime Minister, two important characters, should not be made fun of.
"This director is quite crazy. People say he is always criticized. Now I know why. It would be strange if he is not criticized for this." At this time, Jiang Chenggang even admired the choice he made.
If you don't have a gambling nature, you probably won't make such a decision.
It can be seen that this guy loves gambling very much.
He is a big gambler.
"I've seen it before. He loves to gamble, so he'll bet on me, who looks the most suitable. Even if I play two roles and my status is not as high as that of the Mesozoic Prime Minister Zhuge, he will still choose me."
Only people who love gambling would choose this.
You have to play two roles by yourself.
"So how did you know he loved gambling?"
"Because I also love gambling, so isn't it reasonable to see people who also love gambling?" At this time, Li Yun smiled with his eyes narrowed.
The corner of Jiang Chenggang's mouth twitched, but no matter what, Li Yun won the bet this time. He became the Lu Fengxian and Zhuge Kongming.
No matter what the final film looks like, at least Li Yun is now a winner and has won this audition.
Although this victory was accompanied by great controversy.
There's also pressure.
"Although I don't know how well you've prepared, you still have to be mentally prepared. Public opinion won't let you off easily. After all, from their perspective, you probably used strange means to get these two roles."
It feels a little unbelievable when I say it.
In fact, deep down in his heart, Jiang Chenggang was a little curious whether Li Yun had used some tricks . Because this matter seemed too unbelievable.
Also a little worried.
One person plays two roles. If one of them fails to perform well, the backlash from public opinion can be very severe, especially for fans of the Three Kingdoms who are known as the four great classics. They are truly people from all walks of life.
Each has its audience and fans.
Strictly speaking, the bigger the IP, the greater its influence, but also the greater the backlash if it fails.
Crisis and risk definitely coexist.
