Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 21 This is the actor

Before the viewfinder.

Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min hugged each other tacitly and sat facing each other, but they remained silent and frowned slightly.

The assistant directors and instructors beside him were also silent, waiting for their decision.

——There was a problem with this scene just now.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Jizhong raised his eyebrows and said, "In the scene just now, Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, what do you say?"

"Impeccable." Yu Min spoke first.

"It's totally worthy of [Nan Murong]." An assistant director said.

"He perfectly displayed the Murong Fu that we fine-tuned for him," said the screenwriter teacher.

"This is not a Murong Fu who acted as a supporting role to complement Duan Yu. This is a Murong Fu who has his own story. In just this one scene, Chu Xuan completely played this Murong Fu to life." The acting instructor said .

"All the movements and positions, including the detailed movements of the hands and the frequency of trembling, are all fine. From the perspective of movements, they are perfect." Director Zhao Jian said.

Zhang Jizhong nodded: "If you look at the world from the perspective of God, everyone is an independent individual, and everyone is the protagonist. But we are filming a TV series, so it has a master and a supporting role. The scene just now , except for Liu Yifei's shot which surprised me, I only have Chu Xuan as Murong Fu in my eyes, no Duan Yu, no Duan Zhengchun, no Yue Erer."

Zhang Jizhong sighed: "Everyone saw Chu Xuan's performance just now, and its excellence can be said to be beyond doubt. But the protagonist of this scene must be Duan Yu, not Murong Fu. What do you think?" Let's do it."

Yu Min and several assistant directors looked at each other, a little worried.

When fine-tuning the script, they had already considered whether Chu Xuan's acting skills would cause pressure on Lin Zhiying and Hu Jun.

Murong Fu is the first supporting role, Chu Xuan can do nothing for any role, but he can't do anything for the main character.

The supporting role overwhelms the protagonist?This is the biggest taboo of film and television dramas, and it is also the bottom line that the director team firmly cannot recognize.

This is a matter of principle.

Hu Jun can be ruled out, at least he is an actor.

Judging from Lin Zhiying's audition situation at that time, even if he was worse than Chu Xuan, under their judgment, it is impossible for him to fail to catch the connecting scenes. Older actors are not exaggerated.

That being the case, even if Chu Xuan's performance is dazzling, they can still use more close-up shots to bring out Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu.

But they made a mistake in their judgment. In the scene where Lin Zhiying was thrown to the ground by Chu Xuan, Lin Zhiying was obviously overwhelmed, and the expression on her face was not right.

This is not a question of close-up or not. The characters are not played correctly, and close-ups can only have the opposite effect.

A few minutes ago, Yu Min called to stop in time.

When they were worrying about this serious situation, Chu Xuan didn't know what to say to Lin Zhiying, Lin Zhiying seemed to be enlightened, and there was no subsequent situation of being suppressed.

it's great.

However, it's a good thing not to be suppressed, but if a supporting role is too good, it doesn't matter whether the protagonist is suppressed or not.

"I only have Chu Xuan in my eyes, and the others seem to be invisible!" A few minutes ago, they watched the performance of the actors in the camera, and that was how they felt.

However, the light of a supporting role completely overwhelms the leading role. Could it be to blame Chu Xuan for not being ignorant of the rules?
"But he acted completely according to the fine-tuned script. Firstly, no scenes, secondly, no words, thirdly, thirdly, no shots, and there is no problem at all. Could it be that Chu Xuan is too good?" Yu Min said. Several people smiled wryly.

"Brother Zhang." Yu Min laughed amusedly: "It would have been great if Chu Xuan had been cast as Duan Yu at the beginning. As a protagonist, no matter how well he plays, this kind of thing won't happen now."

"No, I still want to play Murong Fu." Zhang Jizhong shook his head, "Duan Yu's character limit is not high, letting Chu Xuan play Duan Yu is a waste of his acting skills, so it's better to act in another TV series."

Yu Min couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect Zhang Jizhong to approve of Chu Xuan so much, but thinking about Chu Xuan's performance on the audition day and the past few days, it's normal to get Zhang Jizhong's approval.

"Brother Zhang, cut Chu Xuan's shots a little later?" an assistant director suggested.

"What's the use of cutting? When the time comes, the plot will be good intermittently?" Zhang Jizhong glanced at him.

The assistant director scratched his head.

"Fine-tune the script again? Or act according to the original version?" the screenwriting teacher suggested.

"This has nothing to do with the script." Zhao Jian, the director in charge of action design, shook his head and said: "Just now, Chu Xuan's expressive power, his eyes are all drama, the micro expressions on his face are all drama, and the movement of drawing the sword in his hand It’s all drama, every step of walking is also drama!”

"What does this have to do with the script?" Zhao Jian glanced at the screenwriter, "With this level, even if you give him a rubbish script, he can still act like a god!"

The voice just fell.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and other actors came over.

"Producer Zhang, Director Yu..." The actors greeted each other.

The people in the director's team nodded in response, and Zhang Jizhong brought up the camera image in the viewfinder, and said, "Look for yourself."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and other actors approached the viewfinder.

A group of actors had guessed on the way that there might be something wrong with the fighting scene just now, but they didn't know exactly where the problem occurred.

Now seeing the picture in the camera, they frowned at just one glance.

Chu Xuan and Lin Zhiying's first rivalry scene, they felt something was wrong, but they couldn't tell where it was wrong.

Until the two actors Tang Zhengzong and Li Yu joined the scene, they suddenly understood.

——Chu Xuan is too dazzling!

Not to mention these actors, even Wang Jinhua has seen the problem, so there is a real problem.

Obviously, the supporting characters overshadow the main characters.

What can be done?
Hu Jun, Cheng Hao and other actors glanced at Zhang Jizhong and then at Chu Xuan. Seeing that both sides were silent and did not speak as if they were thinking, they couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Is there a problem with Chu Xuan's performance?

No!

Hu Jun knew that the production team changed the script for Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan must act according to the script.

It has become to such an extent, I can only say that Chu Xuan is excellent, and it is not Chu Xuan's fault that he surpassed Lin Zhiying.

In the camera, Chu Xuan performed Murong Fu's full aura, so he could only see Chu Xuan, but not Lin Zhiying.

But the problem is, Lin Zhiying's performance is fine.

That's the most important thing!
In this scene, Duan Yu was supposed to be playful and playful at first, even though Duan Zhengchun was seriously injured by Murong Fu, Duan Yu awakened because of this [Six Meridians Excalibur] and broke out, becoming serious, that is, a The appearance of the Vice Boys.

This kind of Duan Yu cannot have aura or aura, because it does not conform to the character's own youthful heart and the character's pure personality.

However, such a Duan Yu without aura and momentum meets Murong Fu who is full of aura.

All the actors could imagine that after the TV broadcast, the audience would only be attracted by Chu Xuan as Murong Fu, and would not go to see Lin Zhiying as Duan Yu, and even find this playful Duan Yu a bit annoying.

This violates the original intention of filming this scene to show Duan Yu's awakening [Six Meridians Excalibur] demeanor.

Problem found, but what to do?
The line only changed the word "death", the direction of the plot has not changed at all, the plot has not changed at all, and the result of the development of things has also remained the same. Except for a few actions, everything is almost the same as the original.

But Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, can surpass Duan Yu. This only shows that Chu Xuan has fully displayed the charm of Murong Fu. This charm cannot be described in words, and it can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words. .

From this point of view, this seems to be difficult to do.

"Producer Zhang, Director Yu, let's reshoot."

Suddenly, Chu Xuan withdrew his gaze from the viewfinder, looked at Zhang Jizhong and Yu Mindao.

The whole audience froze.

Zhang Jizhong looked at Chu Xuan in surprise and appreciation, and said, "What do you think?"

Under the focus of everyone's eyes, Chu Xuan pondered and said: "Producer Zhang, you asked me to perform Murong Fu's [Aura], which may be good in a scene where Murong Fu is alone or with other characters, but in this It might not be appropriate in the scene."

Chu Xuan said again: "In the scenes just now, I played Murong Fu according to this method of acting. Obviously, the performance was too much. It is not a good thing for the whole scene, and it will also affect the final presentation of this big scene."

Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Jizhong: "So, I think in this scene, give up the [spiritual energy] on Murong Fu, and then slowly lower your posture, until the final confrontation with Duan Yu, lower your posture to at least Let the audience see Murong Fu's embarrassment, and give Duan Yu more close-up shots, in this way, the halo on Murong Fu's body will be reduced, and Duan Yu will be able to set it off."

Chu Xuan smiled at Zhang Jizhong, "What do you think?"

Zhang Jizhong's gaze was very appreciative: "The actors I've seen always think of making themselves better. This is the first time I've seen an actor wanting to make his role worse. Are you sure you want to act like this?"

As he said that, Zhang Jizhong glanced at the viewfinder, and said with a smile: "You acted very well just now, really, it would be a pity if it was replaced."

Chu Xuan smiled when he heard the words: "Then can you make a backup of the scene just now and let me take it back as a souvenir?"

Zhang Jizhong was slightly stunned, and then he said cheerfully: "I can satisfy you with this!"

"Thank you, Producer Zhang." Chu Xuan smiled.

Zhang Jizhong nodded, with a smile on his face, and said to the actors: "Then everyone, go back to the set, and start reshooting after getting ready, hard work."

Chu Xuan turned around and walked out with Concubine Liu Yi.

Yu Min glanced away, and said, "Reshooting is the only way, but I didn't expect Chu Xuan to propose it, which surprised me."

Zhang Jizhong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Why did you think I was so embarrassed just now? When I was a director, even if I scolded people, it was always to make the actors perform better. How could a director persuade the actors to perform worse? I have no face This mouth, besides Wang Jinhua is here, I'm afraid of being teased by her."

Yu Min laughed.

Zhang Jizhong suddenly looked at him and said, "In what Chu Xuan said just now, he was thinking about the final presentation of the whole scene. This reminds me of what a senior said to me."

"What?" Yu Min raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Jizhong said with a smile: "People who pursue art must be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time."

Yu Min was dumbfounded, it seemed that Zhang Jizhong's appreciation for Chu Xuan had grown to a higher level.

At this time, Chu Xuan and the others had already walked about ten meters away.

Zhang Jizhong glanced at Chu Xuan who was walking away.

In Zhang Jizhong's eyes, Chu Xuan, who was communicating with the actors, smiled as usual when talking and laughing, his demeanor was still elegant, and his walking was still steady.

——Extremely free and easy.

It seems that he doesn't regret at all that the outstanding parts of the role he played have been cut off.

With such strength and structure, but also so free and easy.

Zhang Jizhong suddenly remembered a sentence - don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.He looked at Chu Xuan's back, and somehow felt as if he was looking at an artist.

Zhang Jizhong was very emotional, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason, so that he slammed down the table as if he had lost his composure, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Xuan's back, and said to the director team:

"This is an actor!!"
