Senior Superstar

The sudden visit of old fans really exceeded Li Shixin's expectations.

Although Singularity 2 and Lamb have been won, one is still revising the script, and the other has just finished casting. It seems that neither of them has the intention of starting immediately.

Li Shixin originally planned to stay here in Hollywood for a few more days, wait for the revision of the script of Strange 2 to be completed, and after the script study of the two plays, he will return to China for a while to see his old fans.

Unexpectedly, this group of old urchins have come to Hollywood before their affairs are settled.

Accidents are accidents.

For the arrival of a group of old fans, Li Shixin is still very happy.

Seeing a group of old guys in the small living room of the apartment, talking about the purpose of this trip with righteous indignation, saying that they should go to the Film Association to reason, Li Shi's confidence was warmed.

Talk about the four great joys in life: the rain meets the rain after a long drought, an old acquaintance in a foreign country, the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list.

Although I don't have any of the three things now, especially the rain after a long drought and the wedding night in the bridal chamber, it's still great to come to a foreign country with old friends!

Teacher, who will give you enough room? You don't even have a place to sit, it's too cold!

Just when Li Shixin was in a trance with the teapot, Chen Boshi pushed him off the sofa, and An Xiaoxiao, who fell so badly, yelled loudly.

You're the only one who has a lot to do!

When he came back to his senses, Li Shixin glared over with feinted anger, and put the teapot on the rather cramped coffee table.

Seeing Liu Feng's grandfather and grandson, Chen Boshi Yiyi, three young generals and Zhang Weiyu, who has bad legs and feet, were crowded on the three-person sofa, Li Shixin hissed.

It's okay for one or two people to live in this place, but if there are visitors, it will be a bit cramped.

Now that the career in Hollywood has started, it seems that I have time to see a decent house.

Just as he was thinking this way, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Hello?

Seeing that the phone number was an unfamiliar local number, Li Shixin quickly picked it up.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Griff's slightly hoarse voice came;

Li, the crew is ready to start the film! The scenes of the first three acts have been arranged, and we plan to hold the launch ceremony tomorrow. But before the film starts, we need all the actors to gather for a unified role discussion. I hope you I can come to the studio at two o'clock in the afternoon.

So fast?

Li Shixin's eyes widened when he heard the news that the crew of Lamb would be able to start production soon.

Damn, I haven't finished the casting the day before yesterday, so I told the old man today that it can be turned on?

Could it be that he pulled a grass-roots team? !

Before Li Shixin asked about the abnormal progress, Griff on the other side of the phone immediately continued;

By the way, Li. There is one more thing I have to tell you. As the biggest investor in the crew, I am going to give you the title of producer.

Producer's name?

Li Shixin, who felt a little bad, frowned.

As we all know, audiences don't even bother to watch a movie with roles other than director and starring role.

Is there a use for it?

so?

Facing Li Shixin's question, Griff smiled awkwardly.

Our production team is currently a little nervous about funding. So your salary, the production team will not give you. But didn't you say it before, it's all for the role of Dr. Hannibal. And after the movie is released, we According to the box office, the salary may not be that important to you, right?

After seeing Griff's picture, Li Shixin came to a realization.

fuck you.

Dare to feel that the autumn wind is coming to beat the old man!

Li Shixin really doesn't care much about the salary.

When he was in China, except for the original Flying in the Wind, Li Shixin received a salary of more than 100,000 yuan, and he acted in almost all subsequent plays with no salary or even zero salary.

To win the favor of the audience is far greater than RMB in Li Shixin's heart.

After all, what's the use of signing this thing for an old man who can't even stand his face?

Right.

After having lunch with a group of old fans at a random restaurant near the apartment, Li Shixin settled everyone in a nearby hotel, and went to the film and television center with Zhang Shuo.

By the time he arrived, almost all the crew members had already arrived.

In the dilapidated studio, Grieve looked exceptionally enthusiastic.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you formally.

Pulling Li Shixin who had entered the door to the center of the studio, Griff waved to a group of crew members and actors sitting on folding chairs.

This Mr. Li Shixin from the East is our biggest investor and honorary producer. At the same time, he is also the number one male in the play, the actor who plays the role of Hannibal.

Facing Griff's introduction, a group of actors in the studio had weird expressions,

Only a few people raised their hands symbolically and clapped a few times, which was regarded as a compliment to Griff.

Although the essence of Hollywood is no different from Rongdian, in Hollywood, the relationship between the crew and actors is more through the actors' union or economic company. Ordinary film crews do not directly contact investors, and accept the investors' nominee to play the leading role.

Bringing capital into the group is a relatively common rule in China, because the relationship between the system is not prevalent in Hollywood.

Amidst the sparse applause, Li Shixin smiled slightly when he noticed that several actors present hugged their shoulders and whispered something to each other.

He can roughly understand the thoughts of those actors.

After all, their eyes at this time are exactly the same as their own a few years ago.

Full of contempt for the dirty phenomenon of bringing capital into the group, as well as sourness

Being sized up by more than a dozen pairs of such eyes, Li Shixin only felt a burst of relief in his heart!

Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, Griff could only chuckle and introduce several main actors of the crew,

It is said to be the main actor, but in fact, the differences between the characters in the film The Silence of the Lambs are huge.

In a sense, The Silence of the Lambs is a leading actress.

In this script, although there are many characters, almost all the plots are unfolded from the perspective of the heroine Snowlin. Therefore, the role of the female number one is very large.

Including the role of Hannibal played by Li Shixin, in fact, the actual shots are less than 20% of the whole film. According to the plan of the director's script, the total playing time is only 16 or 17 minutes.

So in this drama, it can be said that every character that appeared on the stage played a very important role in advancing the plot. But if you look at the roles alone, it can also be said that except for the heroine, they are all supporting roles.

In the time and space before Li Shixin, the heroine of The Silence of the Lambs was played by Judy Fords, and won the Oscar for Best Actress that year for this role.

Li Shixin appreciates Judy Fords' acting skills.

It was precisely because of this that, after taking his seat, he turned his gaze to his left-there, a blond beauty was sitting there with her arms crossed.

Man, Griff has already introduced it just now.

Charlotte Alissa, thirty years old this year. Although he hasn't appeared in too many movies, he has performed well in several American dramas. In Hollywood, this kind of actress who wants to switch from TV to film is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

After sizing up his partner who was about to act in the opposite role, Li Shixin nodded secretly.

Although I don't know how her acting skills are, at least from the appearance, Charlotte Alissa is more suitable for the role of Snowling.

It doesn't mean how beautiful the person is, but the tough facial lines, thin lips that are often closed, a slightly stubborn chin, and cold and distant eyes. It seems to have extraordinary perseverance and sensitivity.

This kind of temperament fits well with Snowlin, a rookie female FBI agent.

Hello, Lisa.

After a rough look, Li Shixin smiled and stretched out his hand.

But he didn't want to, his future partner didn't catch the friendly hand.

Glancing at Li Shixin with alienated and wary eyes, Alisa spit out the chewing gum in her mouth, turned her head and cast her eyes on Griff who was holding the script and preparing to start the role discussion.

Hey, Griff. You didn't tell me that the guy who was playing opposite me in the show was a Chinaman!

?

Under Griff's embarrassed expression, Li Shixin frowned.

Tsk,

Looks like a nice woman.

How did you open your mouth?
