Chapter 176
They discussed the cast for a long time. Li Lekang thought it would be best to invite his original staff, so he had to find another way if he couldn't.
But without the original character, he always felt that something was missing. Judy knew that he liked to be perfect, so she told him: "We still have plenty of time, and this part can be put in the last few episodes of the show."
This is the best news, they have enough time to toss.
Including designing and layouting performance scenes from now on, the theater stage is still his first choice. Although he wants to hold a Quidditch game on the football field, considering the shortcomings of the magic and the content may not be exciting, he gave up.
The magic of the wizard is more suitable for enjoying it at close range and enjoying it with high immersion, allowing the audience to experience the surrounding vision and be able to appreciate it from different angles.
His ideal audience stand must have a high and low level, with a height of 3-5 floors, which will allow you to more deeply appreciate the shock of the wizard when flying, and the space capacity for performance will be larger.
The first choice is naturally the Quidditch World Cup venue type. Although such an exaggerated building cannot exist in reality, the team found a low-end version, which is the Royal Opera House in London!
Its auditorium is distributed in a U-shaped shape, with five or six floors above and below, and the stage is surrounded by stars. When Li Lekang saw it, he felt that it was the venue he wanted!
He then ordered his men to take it down.
If you are an ordinary star, it is hard to say. This place is a representative building of the British Opera House. It is definitely not allowed to perform a performance by Liba people here.
But Li Lekang is different. His two representative works, "Flying Show" and "Laoshan Taoist Priest", are already examples of magic cross-border fusion art, and his program matches the elegant hall.
There is no problem with the old-fashioned issue of fame and status, whether it is his international superstar title or the fact that he has given too much financial resources, there is no problem!
This also directly affects the selection of the cast.
Although most of the actors in "Harry Potter" are British, the production and distribution are Warner, and the direction of these actors' development is also in Hollywood, so things are back to Li Lekang's home court.
He has good connections in Hollywood and does not need help from others. He contacted several leading actors through a few phone calls through the recommendation of his friends.
These people performed differently about his call.
Daniel, who plays Harry, is actually a bit resistant to this role. From his acting career over the years, it can be seen that he is trying hard to get rid of the solidified impression of "Harry Potter" and diversify himself.
Li Lekang was prepared and told him: "This is an opportunity to climb to the Royal Opera House. The queen will see your performances, and the most important thing is that you can realize magic in reality!"
"Daniel, man, I'll tell you that playing magic is more interesting than movies! The guy I gave you is much more useful than the wand!"
After all, there are special effects in the movie, but who is Li Lekang? Daniel must have heard of it, and he is a god who can interpret magic into magic in reality!
Then he was shaken and said he would give him some time to consider it.
After Li Lekang hung up the phone, he told his subordinates: "If he doesn't come, he will find a way to tie him up and then tell him that this is called changing shadows!"
The confidant led by Olivia expressed his understanding, and then Li Lekang stopped him with a smile: "I'm kidding! He will come, I believe in my intuition!"
Then he called the second person, Emma Watson, who played Hermione. He heard that she was his fan, so after Li Lekang's phone was connected, he was very enthusiastic: "Hello Emma, I am Lekang Lee!"
"Oh Lekang Lee! I'm still Daniel Craig! Get out!"
Interestingly, after receiving the call from him revealing his own house, Emma actually suspected that he was a liar and hung up the phone!
Li Lekang was confused when he listened to the busy voice on the phone. It was unreliable to introduce the person!
He had to hit him a second time, and after saying that he didn't believe it, we could video it. When he saw the real person, she finally covered her mouth and laughed out loud, and the misunderstanding was eliminated.
"I'm sorry! I don't know who got my number in the morning. A disgusting person called me. I thought you were also a prank! Hahaha!"
"Okay, then you have to whitelist me." Li Lekang figured it out.
"Hi Lekang!" Emma waved to the camera playfully, "How did you find me?"
"That's how it is..."
Li Lekang invited her without any effort - after all, no fan could refuse to appear on Li Lekang's magic stage, which is absolutely true!
In the end, the buddy who was not as good as the previous two, Rupert Grint, who played Ron. Time made him become a bearded uncle and was said to have even started selling ice cream.
He has faded out of the film industry over the years, but to what Li Lekang said, "Your friends are almost there, and now you are missing a reunion. Can you miss it?"
After giving him a fool, he agreed.
Then Li Lekang called Daniel again and told him that the other two were participating, and you would be embarrassed to be missing. Finally, he finally let go: "It's a pretty good attempt, OK!"
The three protagonists successfully tricked him into taking it.
Following Li Lekang, he needed another character to connect the past and the future. The old lady, Professor McGonagall, who impressed people in the movie, also invited her in.
Professor McGonagall plays Maggie Smith, who is also an old actor, has not had a break in recent years and can be seen in many works, such as the old lady who loves to complain in "Downton Abbey".
When I heard that it was going to be staged at the Royal Opera House, the other party happily agreed. For a certain period of time, old actors usually pursue honor, which is indeed a stage to be expected.
At this point, the roles Li Lekang needs are basically in place.
Some characters are unable to arrange their roles, or they are no longer determined, and some have even passed away, so Li Lekang cannot achieve perfection.
He could only summon the characters he was most familiar with and arrange them on his own show, so that they could perform a magical scene that shocked the audience in reality!
...
The role matters are arranged properly, and then the theater style design and stage performance content are all continuing the usual professional attentiveness and will not be stingy.
Then there is the point: How to integrate magic content into the stage?
Since the performances of the previous shows, Li Lekang's magic stage has no longer been magic for magic. He either has a plot or is in a very artistic form.
Just like his variety show, the theme of "Li Lekang goes to practice all over the world" is permeated from beginning to end. In the United States, he practices martial arts, in China, he practices Taoism, and in the United Kingdom, he will master witchcraft.
As for how it is presented, it is a headache.
Fortunately, he is not alone. Chloe, who recently pulled him to watch the movie in one go, provided more ideas for the young man: "It doesn't have to be this movie, you can add other elements, because this is Li Lekang's UK trip, not Harry Potter trip, right?"
"You understand quite well!" Li Lekang leaned on the sofa and wrote the plot with a pen, "Is there any?"
"Add elements you like to innovate. I still haven't forgotten the amazing things you had in the last two shows. In fact, it is a cool thing to promote your hometown culture!"
Chloe lay on the sofa opposite, raised her calves, and Li Lekang felt that this scene seemed familiar, with a bit of déjà la Lolita's sense of déjà la Lolita's movie.
All of them are full of youthful vitality. The girl was talking about her fantasy world. Li Lekang held her chin and looked for a while until she cast her eyes: "How is it?"
"Good idea, I'll adopt it."
