Chapter 1239 The Economic Base Determines the Superstructure

It was really hard to resist being harassed by the insiders. Ning Hao couldn't help calling Li Mu. He first complained about what he had been through in the past few days, and then asked him when he would be able to return to Beijing, or when he would be able to return to Beijing. Confirm the casting of "Flying Tigers".

Li Mu did not hide his secrets with Ning Hao, and told him that he would return to Beijing in the next two days. However, in the casting of "Flying Tigers", among the leading actors in Huaxia, he only identified one heroine, that is, he always The only petite girl, Du Wei.

Ning Hao had read the script of "Flying Tigers", so he recognized Du Wei's image of playing the Chinese heroine, and said with a smile, "I knew you would definitely give this role to Du Wei. To be honest, Du Wei is also me. One of the best actors imaginable."

"Heroes see the same thing." Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "This little girl Du Wei does not look young, but her acting skills are indeed very good. The most important thing is that she has never learned acting at all, but she has that kind of acting. What kind of confidence."

"Confidence?" Ning Hao asked him, "Shouldn't it be called acting?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not about acting, it's about confidence."

In Li Mu's view, self-confidence is the foundation of acting.

People without self-confidence, when in front of the camera, can't even control their own expressions, and they have to think for a long time about where to put their hands, let alone acting.

Only those who are confident enough, who can face the camera indifferently or who are not affected by the camera at all, will have the soil for cultivating acting skills.

The prerequisite for acting like what, is that you don't have any fear and tension in acting at all, and first of all, you can ensure that you can play yourself well in front of the camera. If you don't have confidence, you can't even play your role well in front of the camera.

In fact, Li Mu had already discovered this problem through some tiny details.

Whether it is a western or eastern country, TV stations often do some street interviews. However, it can be clearly found that ordinary people in eastern countries, mainly China, will reveal an obvious nervousness when facing the camera, but When ordinary people in Western countries are interviewed, most of them can talk freely in front of the camera. Whether it is conversation, expression, or behavior, they are very natural, and they cannot see nervousness. This is the importance of self-confidence.

Li Mu felt that the people of eastern countries generally lack self-confidence. In fact, this is mainly because the eastern countries, especially the Chinese nation, have been bullied by countries all over the world for so many years in modern times, and there are constant wars and chaos, and even in peaceful times, they have also experienced After a long period of hardship and a stage of resting on its laurels, after the reform and opening up, the living conditions of the Chinese people gradually improved, and the people's self-confidence began to regain.

The Chinese people in the 21st century are far more confident than at the end of the last century. However, it will take a long process to fully recover the self-confidence in the marrow of a nation.

In contrast to Western countries, most of them are old-fashioned imperialist countries. They have established colonies around the world since the Age of Navigation, and they have led the development of the world's industry, technology and economy since the Industrial Revolution. People in other countries are still oppressed, When they were still working hard to fill their stomachs, they had already gotten rid of the troubles of food and turned to pursue a higher material and spiritual world.

Precisely because Westerners have been at the forefront of the world since modern times, citizens of Western countries have had self-confidence far exceeding that of Easterners throughout modern times and up to now. This difference in self-confidence will subtly lead to many extraordinary Special social phenomena, such as in developed Western countries, Chinese people are often discriminated against or treated unfairly, but in China, Westerners can always be treated more generously.

In addition, the national acting skills will also be deeply affected by this lack of self-confidence, so that 95% of the extras have no acting skills at all. Once they appear in front of the camera, they will bring a deep sense of disobedience. Actors from professional colleges are not much better than ordinary people. 80% of their acting skills are below the pass line. If they have enough confidence in their bones, their overall acting skills will rise by more than one level.

Looking at Du Wei again, this girl will always carry a calm self-confidence, which is related to her family conditions and her upbringing environment. The theory that the economic base determines the superstructure has gained a lot of attention in her. The big proof is that children from wealthy families will be more confident than ordinary people since childhood, and those children who live in an environment where they are troubled by firewood, rice, oil and salt, and worry about what to eat and wear tomorrow are hard to see the halo of self-confidence. .

Living in two lives, Li Mutai can feel how huge the change that economic foundation has brought to a person.

If it weren't for his rebirth, if it weren't for the advanced thinking in his mind that surpassed the world for more than ten years, it would be difficult for Li Mu to truly have confidence.

In fact, Li Mu himself has always been a typical young man who lacks self-confidence in his last life. His family conditions are relatively stretched, so that he has developed a cautious personality since he was a child.

Too good things are not willing to eat, too expensive clothes are not willing to buy;

Going to a high-end restaurant will feel cramped and uncomfortable, and going to a high-end shopping mall will feel like a light on your back;

He is very eloquent when chatting with his good friends, and he talks at length at every turn, but his voice trembles when he is called up by the teacher to recite a text in the class;

After I finally traveled abroad, I felt inexplicably nervous when I landed and passed the customs. I spoke English to a foreigner, even if it was just a simple Exuse-me, I had to brew it in my heart for a long time before I could export it...

This is the influence of the economic foundation on the self in the previous life in a subtle way.

Thinking of this matter, Li Mu especially hopes that the young people in China can grow up with more self-confidence and less inferiority. As confident as a Westerner.

Li Mu has many feelings about self-confidence, but Ning Hao does not have such a deep understanding. In contrast, he is more interested in the choice of Li Mu's male protagonist, and asks Li Mu whether he has made up his mind and who is the male protagonist. come to play.

Li Mu replied: "To be honest, I still haven't figured out who should play the male lead. Because of the definition of this role, its actors should be played by Tom Hanks, Leonardo and Anne Hathaway. If there is a big difference in the acting skills of the opponent's play, then it will definitely bring a very strong sense of disobedience to the audience, but in my impression, the actors who can have this kind of strength are basically the older generation of artists and the younger generation. I really can't find it among the actors."

Ning Hao snorted and said, "This role is really not easy to find, his requirements are too high, on the other hand, the female lead's requirements will be lower, after all, she only needs to play well with Leonardo. "

Speaking of this, Ning Hao suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Boss, "The Family of Gold Fennel" is about to be broadcast. I heard people say that the quality of this TV series is still very high, and you seem to be familiar with Chen Kun, the star. What do you think of this man?"

"Chen Kun..." Li Mu smacked his lips. He had cooperated with him. In "Old Boy", he was the second male lead. The whole cooperation was very smooth, and Chen Kun was a relatively humble person. The degree of cooperation is also very high, but Li Mu always felt that his acting skills seemed almost meaningless.

In Li Mu's impression of Chen Kun, Chen Kun at this age, no matter what role he plays, he seems to be deliberately holding a lot of energy, which makes his acting style look a bit unnatural. in place.

Ning Hao heard that Li Mu didn't have any further text, and knew that Li Mu might not be very satisfied with Chen Kun, and said with a smile, "If you think Chen Kun is not suitable, you can also consider Lu Yi, he should debut earlier than Chen Kun, " "Never Rest Your Eyes" was already on fire."

Li Mu thought about Lu Yi's image, shook his head and said, "Lu Yi is not suitable, he is too small, and he doesn't have the temperament to play the anti-Japanese war pilot."

Ning Hao then talked about several young actors who are currently popular, but Li Mu also rejected them one by one without exception. His acting skills are very, very good, what does this guy act like!"

"No." Li Mu immediately rejected: "Huang Bo's acting skills are fine, but I'm a little sorry for the image. You asked him to play this role and play with Anne Hathaway, don't you think that style of painting would be very strange? It's like a bachelor in the village, Erniu, suddenly one day married a woman like Wang Zuixian..."

"Where's Xia Yu? He's an actor!"

"No, the play is too narrow! And to be honest, the appearance is not much better than Huang Bo!"

"Oh!" Ning Hao sighed anxiously, and said, "Would you like to see if there are any suitable actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan? How about Chen Guanxi? "Infernal Affairs" is still very good, young, handsome, and acting. OK too."

"Sun!" Li Mu subconsciously scolded: "You want to kill me!"

Ning Hao asked in surprise, "What's the matter, boss? I'm trying to help you with ideas, why did I cheat on you..."

Only then did Li Mu come back to his senses, Ning Hao must not know about the tragedy caused by the computer repair a few years later, Chen Guanxi is very good-looking, and his acting skills are very good, but when he thinks about the computer repair, Li Mu feels a little evasive. Not to mention, Li Mu really doesn't want to use actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan in this film. He feels that this is an unprecedented cooperation between himself and Hollywood on behalf of the mainland film industry. He should ensure the purity of this cooperation. This film, He is not prepared to invite Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign Chinese actors.

So, Li Mu said to Ning Hao, "For this movie, China, I want the whole mainland team, whether it's on stage or behind the scenes."

Ning Hao sighed and said, "That's fine, I'll give you a good look."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu was also a little melancholy. Spielberg had already started preparing to start filming in the United States. As soon as the filming in the United States was over, he would come to Huaxia immediately, but he had never thought about what the Chinese actor in the script should be. Who to use, this thing is really difficult.

Wei Lan, who was on the side, listened to Li Mu's phone call the whole time. Seeing his melancholy expression, he asked cautiously, "Dear, have you seen a movie called "The Man and the Dog in That Mountain"?"
