1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 413 I look like this, is it my fault?
Yanjing Hotel's Puppet Art Salon was very successful, at least in Teng Jinxian's mind.

But Lin Weimin estimated that the other seniors who participated in the salon might not be very happy, because Bertolucci saw himself like a cat seeing a fish.

Caught himself not letting go, he kept chatting about the script, and didn't say a few words to anyone throughout the night.

Of course, Lin Weimin did not disappoint Teng Jinxian's high expectations, and spent the night completely confused Comrade Lao Bei, a member of the Communist Party.

After the art salon ended, the film project "The Last Emperor" was officially approved.

After the news came out, it quickly caused a sensation in the domestic film circle.

Although Bertolucci is only in his 40s this year, his fame in the international film world can be traced back to the 60s.

In 1962, he directed his first film "Death" and started his director career. In 1969, he co-directed the short film collection "Love and Fury" with Marco Bellocchio, Pasolini, Godard and Carlo Rizani, which was nominated for the Golden Bear Award at the 19th Berlin Film Festival.

In 1970, directed the war film "The Drifter" co-starred by Jean-Louis Trintignan and Stefania Sandrelli, and was nominated for the Golden Bear Award at the 20th Berlin Film Festival.

In 1972, he directed the love film "Last Tango in Paris" co-starred by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider. With this film, he was nominated for Best Director at the 46th Academy Awards, and was nominated for Best Director at the 31st American Academy Awards. Nominated for Best Director in the Film category.

In 1981, directed the feature film "The Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man" co-starred by Ugo Tognegi and Anuk Aimee, which was nominated for the Palme d'Or in the main competition unit of the 34th Cannes Film Festival.

In 1983, he served as the chairman of the jury for the main competition of the 43rd Venice Film Festival.

In the film industry for more than 20 years, Bertolucci has become one of the best directors in Italy, and has established his own position in the international arena.

You know, when Bertolucci became famous, the fifth-generation domestic directors hadn't even gone to school, and the fourth-generation directors were wasting their time.

Right now, like thunder, it is reported that Bertolucci, a great director from Italy, is about to shoot a movie in China, but everyone who is involved in the film industry is excited, especially those actors.

Since the reform and opening up, the domestic literature and art circle has always been the spread of Western learning to the east. When people look at various works of art in Omi countries, they often have a halo.

In the first few years, there was a "going abroad wave", Chen Chong, Yang Hailian, Zhang Yu, Chen Ye, Gong Xue...

Countless movie stars, one after another, rushed to the sacred place of art and the country of freedom that they yearned for in their hearts.

Now, the world-renowned director actually came to his house to shoot a movie. Isn't this a shot in the arm?

Since it is a movie with Chinese themes, it is necessary to use Chinese actors, isn't everyone's opportunity coming?
Many people couldn't help gloating when they got the news. In the past few years, those movie stars ran out one by one, thinking of becoming international stars.

What now?When great directors come to their homes to make movies, domestic actors have a chance to become international stars.

With such a mentality, Liu Xiaoqing found Tao Huimin, who was also in the same crew, and asked Lin Weimin.

Unity Lake Apartments.

Tao Huimin led Liu Xiaoqing into the door, followed by a tail.

When Lin Weimin saw Jiang Wen following Liu Xiaoqing, he couldn't help but feel weird.

"Mr. Lin!" Liu Xiaoqing greeted Lin Weimin with a pleasant smile.

"Hello, Teacher Lin!" Jiang Wen said hello obediently.

At this time, "Furong Town" has not yet been released, and Jiang Wen still has no masterpieces. He is just an ordinary little actor who follows Liu Xiaoqing.

Today he knew that Liu Xiaoqing was coming to ask Lin Weimin for help, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to come here.

He had known Lin Weimin since he was in college, and he was authorized by Lin Weimin to create a student version of "Farewell My Concubine", which made a big splash in Yanjing's universities.

Although they are not acquaintances, they can still say a few words when they meet each other.

Recently, Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has just started filming. Tao Huimin ended her intensive training life and moved from the guest house to the Tuanjiehu apartment. Now she will return to the apartment every day after filming.

Lin Weimin had just finished cooking, and said with a slight smile, "Wait a minute, I'll make one more dish."

His dinner was prepared for two.

Liu Xiaoqing hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, no need, no need, we've already eaten."

She didn't come here for dinner today.

Doing the math, Liu Xiaoqing and Lin Weimin have known each other for several years, but they are basically nodding acquaintances, and they can't even speak a few words every time they meet.

That time at Maxim's Western Restaurant, Song Huaigui ate in front of Lin Weimin, she was deeply impressed.

I know this guy looks easy-going, but in fact he has a bad temper.The most important thing is that he doesn't follow the sophistication of the world.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't even dare to come to the door with a gift, let alone say anything about treating guests to dinner, so he obediently sat in the living room for more than half an hour.

After Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin finished their dinner and walked to the living room, she stood up and said, "Teacher Lin!"

Jiang Wen also sat in the living room for more than half an hour, and the mentality of "meeting acquaintances" from the first time he entered the door became uneasy.

He was a student in school before, and never realized the difference in status between him and Lin Weimin.

Waiting for more than half an hour today made him understand.

Seeing Liu Xiaoqing get up, he also stood up.

"Sit!" Lin Weimin waved his hand.

Lin Weimin was very clear about the purpose of Liu Xiaoqing's visit, so he cut to the chase and said, "If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Then I'll be straight. You and I know Jiang Wen, and we are both actors. Director Bertolucci wants to make a movie in China, we I've heard of it all. I also heard that you are the screenwriter of the movie, so we wanted to come over and ask you about the situation of this movie. "

Jiang Wen was surprised when he heard Liu Xiaoqing's words. He came today to say something for Liu Xiaoqing, but she said it first.

If it gets out, won't the reputation of my little boy be confirmed?

A thought flashed through Jiang Wen's mind, instead of thinking about it, he stared at Lin Weimin and observed his reaction.

"The film is indeed going to be filmed, and the screenwriter is not only me, but Teng Ju.

Director Bertolucci is currently waiting for investment. The investment scale of this film will not be small, and they plan to attract some Hollywood investment. "

Listening to Lin Weimin's words, Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help being excited. This is the first-hand news.

Not only a big director like Bertolucci, but also Hollywood's funds, if this can play the heroine, isn't it a proper international actress?

"Mr. Lin, when will the filming start? Has the actor been decided?"

Liu Xiaoqing's eyes hide a strong ambition and desire.

Lin Weimin asked bluntly: "Do you want to play the heroine?"

Liu Xiaoqing just hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly, and said, "Who doesn't want to act in such a movie?"

Lin Weimin nodded slightly, "That's true!"

After saying this, he pondered.

Liu Xiaoqing's face was a little nervous, not knowing what he meant.

After a while, Lin Weimin said, "According to Director Bertolucci's idea, the male and female protagonists of this movie will choose Asian actors with Hollywood background."

Hollywood?Asian?

Hearing these two requests, Liu Xiaoqing felt a burst of despair.

It is true that she has a great reputation in China, and she is even well-known in Xiangjiang because of her starring roles in "Listen to the Government" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace".

But when it comes to Hollywood, Liu Xiaoqing really has no confidence.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful, maybe she should have chosen to go abroad to Hollywood like Chen Chong did.

"Does it have to be an actor from Hollywood?" Liu Xiaoqing asked with a hint of luck.

"It should be like this. After all, this film needs to attract investment from Hollywood, and in terms of distribution, many countries it faces are also English-speaking countries."

Lin Weimin's words made Liu Xiaoqing's heart sink completely.

That said, she was completely hopeless.

Not only her, it should be said that all domestic actors are hopeless.

Fortunately, before she came, she was still thinking that Chen Chong lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds when he went to the United States.

Who could have imagined that!

Liu Xiaoqing felt bitter in his heart.

"but……"

Liu Xiaoqing's depressed mood was quickly mobilized by these two short words. She suddenly raised her head to look at Lin Weimin, her face was full of tension and apprehension.

"Ju Teng and I are also fighting with director Bertolucci. It would be shameful if the main character of a Chinese movie is not played by a Chinese."

Lin Weimin's words ignited the hope in Liu Xiaoqing's eyes like a flame.

"Then, did Director Bertolucci agree?"

Lin Weimin shook his head.

Liu Xiaoqing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley again.

"He hasn't made a decision yet. After all, the film project has just been approved and the investment has not yet been in place, so there is no rush to make a decision on the actors."

Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help complaining about Lin Weimin. If you didn't make a decision, you didn't make a decision. What do you mean by shaking your head?I thought they didn't agree!

Thinking of this in her heart, the expression on her face was extremely excited, "So, we still have a chance?"

"Theoretically so."

Lin Weimin actually didn't tell the truth. Under his deceit, Bertolucci actually promised that he would definitely choose a Chinese actor among the male and female protagonists in the movie.

But whether it is an actor or an actress depends on the suitability of the final casting.

Moreover, Bertolucci also put forward a requirement, that is, the actor's English line ability must meet the standard of filming on-site radio.

After all, if the movie "The Last Emperor" is made, it must be based on the English dialogue version.

Lin Weimin and Teng Jinxian kept this news to themselves, and no one told them.

They both know that for domestic actors, the leading role in the movie "The Last Emperor" is that the goblin meets Tang Sanzang, and they have to take a bite despite all difficulties.

Let them know the news, Lin Weimin and Teng Jinxian don't expect to have a quiet day for more than half a year.

Today when Liu Xiaoqing came to inquire about the news, Lin Weimin deliberately said ambiguously, just as a favor.

Because no matter in terms of acting skills, image or popularity, Liu Xiaoqing can compete for the role of "Wan Rong".

Before Lin Weimin chatted with Teng Jinxian, they talked about the candidates for actors.

The first actress Teng Jinxian mentioned was Liu Xiaoqing, and there were others such as Chen Chong and Fang Shu.

It can be said that Liu Xiaoqing can be said to represent the Chinese film actresses of the 80s to a large extent.

Lin Weimin's ambiguous answer did not make Liu Xiaoqing discouraged. She said happily: "It's good to have a chance! It's good to have a chance!"

After a while, she said gratefully: "Mr. Lin, thank you so much today."

Lin Weimin said: "I didn't help much."

"Your words have already helped me a lot, I..."

Lin Weimin waved his hand and interrupted Liu Xiaoqing's words.

"It's meaningless to say these things. If you really want to thank you, it's not too late to thank you when you really get the role."

Liu Xiaoqing nodded.

After talking about the characters, Liu Xiaoqing asked Lin Weimin about the content of the script. It is a little bit more preparation.

The script of "The Last Emperor" is not a secret. Many people participated in the art salon that day, and they all knew something, but they didn't know as much as Lin Weimin, the screenwriter.

Liu Xiaoqing asked: "From your screenwriter's point of view, does the image of me and Jiang Wen'er fit well?"

Liu Xiaoqing's words silenced Lin Weimin. If you talk about yourself, you talk about yourself. Why did you bring Jiang Wen?
"I can't say who fits the character image of the script, but I know who definitely doesn't fit the character image of the script."

"Who?" Jiang Wenjian asked whizzingly.

Lin Weimin glanced at him and said nothing.

As it turns out, it's never words that hurt the most.

Jiang Wen was directly shattered by Teacher Lin's gaze, and he said aggrievedly, "Mr. Lin, in your heart, am I that bad?"

Lin Weimin said in a harmonious voice, "It doesn't matter if it's close or not."

Jiang Wen felt a little better when he heard this sentence.

"It's simply a matter of face. As far as your image is concerned, what point does it have anything to do with Puyi?"

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Weimin wanting to cry without tears, can't you accumulate some morals with your old mouth?
I look like this, is it my fault?
