Senior Superstar

In fact, Li Shixin himself was not satisfied with this audition.

If the full score is 100, he can give himself a conservative score of around 270 at best.

The last sound of Sword coming seemed to lack such inner momentum because the electric fan was not strong enough-the fan on the scene was turned down!

It would be perfect if the wind was stronger and matched with a green shirt, if there were some special effects, and a thousand swords returned to the sect.

There's no way, under the condition of limited conditions, you can pretend to be forced to this level.

But obviously, this imperfect dude is enough to convince the two audition judges, A Lan and Yuan Ping.

After finishing the audition, Li Shixin was immediately invited by A Lan and Yuan Ping to a temporary office in the studio.

According to the ideas of the creators of the crew, they want to add a supporting role to the protagonist Stephen Strange in Doctor Strange II. According to the preliminary setting of the crew, this character is a martial artist who accidentally travels to modern time and space.

Because the character hadn't been fully finalized yet, after seeing Li Shixin's audition just now, Alan seemed a little excited. He pulled Li Shixin and asked him about his design ideas for the role of martial arts and the audition just now.

During the audition just now, Li Shixin actually had an impromptu idea, and temporarily took out the role of Li Chungang in Swords in the Snow to suit the situation.

Facing Alan's inquiry, he explained the general setting of Li Chungang's role.

So, the general mental journey you designed for this character is that he was obsessed with martial arts, missed and killed his lover by mistake, and has never recovered from it. It was not until he encountered a strong enemy that he regained his faith and recovered again. peak?

wow

After listening to Li Shixin's description, Alan nodded deeply.

This sounds cool, and I really appreciate your performance just now. But Lee, your character setting is too complicated! Can you make it simpler? Pure, you know, after all, this is just a projected five-minute The supporting roles of the left and right shots. In the limited time, I can't express such a complex character list completely.

purely?

Hearing Alan's complaint, Li Shixin frowned.

Which kind of purity do you want?

If possible, it's similar to a knight. He has his own beliefs and beliefs; respect, humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, and honor, and he can use his life to protect these things. Chinese chivalrous men, Shouldn't it be the same?

Listening to Alan's thoughts, Li Shixin couldn't help but look at Yuan Ping beside him.

Noticing that the famous Hong Kong martial arts director and master of Hong Kong martial arts movies had a smile of as long as you are happy as a foreigner, he also shook his head cheerfully.

Wickes, a knight is a knight, and a knight is a knight. Strictly speaking, they are not the same thing.

oh?

Alan spread his hands, Why do you say that?

Facing his question, Li Shixin pondered for a moment.

What is a knight of the west?

The actual creed of Alan Wicks has been expressed very clearly just now; respect, humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, and honor.

What kind of crowd is this asking for?

Requests for Soldiers!

Western knights are mostly conferred by feudal monarchs to serve to maintain feudal rule. No matter how noble their character is, this cannot be changed.

And what is a Chinese hero?

Xia Yiwu breaks the ban, it can be said that his existence is to resist!

The so-called chivalrous men take it as their duty to eradicate the strong and help the weak, and take their passion and compassion as their heart.

He can bow his head to all the weak and weak in the world, but he cannot bow his knees to any power!

Wicks, the first level of interpretation of Xia is resistance. His starting point is completely different from that of knights to protect order. Xia is the resistance from the people at the bottom, a subversion of the imperfect social order, and the courage to seek righteousness from a desperate situation. .

In dire straits, what people look forward to is a hero with a long sword, who will straighten the law of nature, make the good come to an end, and make the treacherous and evil bow their heads.

They are good at using people's most primitive abilities and impulses to solve problems, regardless of power, status, resources and money, and are the innate weapons of the bottom people.

There is an old saying in China: Confucianism breaks the law with literature, and chivalry breaks the law with martial arts.

When the world changes and the law of heaven is unfair, common people rise up and use force to change the order. The existence of Xia is to add a layer of moral justice to this force.

Listening to Li Shixin's interpretation, Alan frowned silently.

So, like the Three Musketeers?

For this example, Li Shixin thought about it and shrugged his shoulders.

There are similarities, but there are also differences. The second level of interpretation of Xia is freedom, a great prospect of unfettered life, and a strong confession of emotional appeal. People who love and want to love, make friends for life, Do what is worth doing. D'Artagnan obviously does not have this kind of free and easy and romanticism. But the same thing is that the great hero is for the country and the people. In a sense, there is also one of the Chinese heroes. A person like Guo Jing from Shou Yicheng.

After listening to Li Shixin's interpretation, Alan nodded thoughtfully.

I think I understand roughly what you mean.

Taking out a workbook from his arms, Alan quickly wrote a few lines, then stood up and extended his right hand to Li Shixin.

Li, you are welcome to join the crew of Strange II!

Seeing the hand reaching out to him, Li Shixin smiled slightly.

Hollywood's first shot. That's it!

The concepts Li Shixin said to Alan obviously inspired this hardcore Hollywood director.

After conveying the intention of cooperation, Alan Wicks immediately devoted himself to the creation of the script.

Accompanied by Yuan Ping, Li Shixin said goodbye and walked out of the office.

The entrance of the studio.

Master Li, it's been a long time since I saw an artist from the Mainland walk out on the Avenue of Stars in Hollywood. I'm actually quite happy to see you auditioning today.

Seeing the emotion on Yuan Ping's face, Li Shixin blinked and said;

Why did Teacher Yuan say that?

Oriental faces are not easy to develop in Hollywood, whether it is Hong Kong City or the Mainland. I have been in the film and television industry for decades, and I have seen only a few Eastern faces who can really become famous in Hollywood. Bruce will not talk about it. He is the most regrettable Yes. In the era after him, both Jackie and Jet made their way with their action skills, but after the return of Hong Kong City, Hollywood has closed the door to Chinese artists. As a martial arts instructor, I danced in Hollywood After walking for so long, it is very difficult to see Chinese people playing Chinese martial arts. You are younger than me, but you are not too young, so I will not talk about it. I hope you can bear it, strong Let’s go on this road well.”

Holding Li Shixin's hand, Yuan Ping stuffed a USB flash drive in his pocket into his hand.

A copy of the audition, Master Li, good luck!

Seeing Yuan Ping, who had gray hair and was over seventy years old, nodded and left, Li Shixin smiled faintly.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo.

Seeing that he was busy with going abroad during this period of time, his negligent Weibo was so calm, he frowned.

Feel free to edit a post.

He's in Hollywood and just auditioned for Doctor Strange II. Anyone want to see the audition footage?

Following the update of his Weibo, the comments section of Weibo in the late night time zone in China immediately boiled over!
