Chapter 345 Gu Qingge's trump card
Logically speaking, with Gu Qingge's status in the film industry, she is still not qualified to compete for the S-level resource of "Enemy at the Gates".
After all, she has only starred in one youth film "Those Years" so far.
Although this youth film was extremely popular, it became a typical example of making a big profit with a small investment and even led a new trend in youth films.
Youth films before this were basically all about bloody love triangles, abortions, car accidents, etc., but since "Those Years", realistic and sentimental films have become the mainstream.
These high-quality youth films have made many audiences very excited. Of course, they are also very grateful for the appearance of "Those Years", otherwise youth films might still be using those bloody routines.
The work "Those Years" has, of course, become Gu Qingge's representative work in the film industry. Many people believe that the role of "Lu Manwu" played by her is indeed worthy of the title of "National First Love".
Later, with the appearance of the director's cut of "Those Years", coupled with the interaction between Gu Qingge and "Yu Meiren", the movie turned into a yuri film, which is quite magical.
But for many male viewers who are more into lesbians, this drama "Those Years" is really great, and Gu Qingge is the eternal god!
However, no matter how successful "Those Years" is in making a big profit with a small investment, it cannot change the fact that it is not good enough in the eyes of the real big guys.
Therefore, Gu Qingge is still just a nobody in the film industry, far inferior to her status in the music industry.
When people mention Gu Qingge, they may subconsciously hum some of her popular songs instead of thinking about what movies she has acted in.
This time, Gu Qingge was able to be connected with this top-level main theme resource, which was actually related to the good deeds she had done before.
Everyone must not forget that Gu Qingge once created songs such as "Green Flower in the Army" and "Unity is Strength" which were widely circulated in the army. Later, she also created the song "Chinese Army Soul" for a popular main theme TV series "Drawing Sword".
After "Drawing Sword" became popular, "Chinese Military Soul" naturally became popular as well, and she, as a musician, also gained further appreciation from the military.
In addition, there was a singer who came from the military, the one who sang "Loyalty to the Country", who always spoke for Gu Qingge, so over time, the Chinese military regarded Gu Qingge as one of their own.
Military blockbusters like "Enemy at the Gates" must of course seek the military's opinions, and the military's cooperation is also needed when shooting large scenes.
The Chinese military is naturally very supportive of patriotic movies. The American military in Hollywood is always fighting against aliens, so the Chinese military certainly cannot fall behind.
Why are the US military the ones who save the world?
China will never tolerate such a struggle involving the country's soft power and international discourse power. After all, public opinion is there. If you don't occupy it, the enemy will.
China in this world pays great attention to propaganda. It often makes verbal attacks on the international stage, criticizing the human rights of the United States and promoting the concept of "Free America, shootings every day" deeply into the hearts of the people.
Over time, the people of China naturally developed a sense of superiority and pride, believing that China was the true Celestial Empire, and that places outside of China were just barbaric countries.
Since the military valued Gu Qingge so much, she naturally received an audition invitation for the role of the legendary female sniper "Luo Ying" in "Enemy at the Gates".
That’s right, it’s almost impossible for the official S-level resources to pre-determine the protagonist.
This is a huge investment involving nearly one billion. The four major entertainment groups have participated in the investment, as have some of China's top capitals.
For such projects, the casting must be meticulous. Traffic stars with no acting skills are hardly qualified to participate in such projects.
It is a recognized fact that traffic stars cannot play in the film market. It is actually okay to let them shoot a TV series. Anyway, it is enough to shoot it according to the format of idol dramas.
Gu Qingge is probably the smallest celebrity in the film industry among all the audition invitations.
The others who received audition invitations for this role were almost all first-tier or even super first-tier actresses, and those second-tier actresses who were able to audition were also new actresses with both popularity and acting skills.
If Gu Qingge wants to play the role of "Luo Ying", she faces tremendous competitive pressure!
Even though her acting skills have now reached "expert level", it does not mean that she can definitely get the role.
Because the acting skills of other actresses who received invitations must have reached the expert level, and their progress bars are even closer to the master level than Gu Qingge!
Gu Qingge is still too young after all, and how could those actresses who set high standards for themselves and have been honing their skills in the film industry for a longer time be worse than her?
However, Gu Qingge also has a trump card!
Don’t forget the special skill she acquired, “Military Temperament”!
Gu Qingge actually rarely used this special skill, unlike the "voice changing" skill, which Gu Qingge often used when playing with a vest.
The protagonist of "Enemy at the Gates", "Luo Ying", of course, has to have a military temperament. After all, she went to a military school in college. At the same time, her personal style is also full of the iron-blooded style of a soldier!
This is a female hero who kills people without blinking an eye with her sniper. To China, she is a patriotic hero, but to the enemy country, she is a female devil!
Even actresses of the best film quality may not be able to play the role of such a domineering and strong military heroine because they lack the experience in the military camp.
Of course, some actresses who are determined to win this role will definitely be willing to go to the military camp to experience this kind of life in order to compete for this role and cultivate the temperament of a soldier.
But how can the pseudo-military temperament cultivated in such a short period of time be compared with Gu Qingge's "military temperament" that came from the system?
This is Gu Qingge’s greatest confidence in competing for this role!
Before going to the audition, Gu Qingge also carefully learned about the legendary female sniper "Luo Ying" who only existed in the history of China in this parallel world. After reading about her deeds in history, Gu Qingge naturally admired her.
This female sniper is really awesome. Her famous saying, "Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, they even dared to fight back against me," left a deep impression on Gu Qingge!
Gu Qingge also carefully studied the script sent by the film producer. She found that the adaptation level of China's top screenwriters was not exaggerated.
In addition to the exciting stories of "Luo Ying" going deep behind enemy lines in the script, the screenwriters also gave "Luo Ying" a very powerful opponent!
There will be a "sniper showdown" between top snipers between them!
