Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 33 Kneeling

Today is Children's Day.

This day would have nothing to do with Chu Xuan, a college student, but if everything goes well today, then today will be the day when Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, will finish his career.

Although it's already June, the climate here in Yunnan Province is quite good, mild and cool. If it were Xingcheng and Shancheng, it would be as hot as a copper furnace.

The staff on the set shuttled back and forth to set up the scene and add props that should be in the play. The actors also came one after another, ready to watch Chu Xuan's play.

However, the set was about to be ready, and the actors who watched the show rushed to the set as if gathered, but in the director's tent in front of the viewfinder, there were disputes of some magnitude.

In front of the viewfinder, the director's team sat in a circle.

Yu Min looked down at the script, raised his head and said to Chu Xuan: "You, Murong Fu, have a very high posture from the first scene, and you acted with a feeling of high mountains and rivers, lofty conceit, gentleness and extreme pride. So I think, in order to be more in line with the character design, it is more appropriate to play this scene according to the script we changed for you. Don't kneel, it would be better to maintain Murong Fu's airy and conceited posture."

In the next scene, Murong Fu has experienced Duan Yu's blow, Wang Yuyan's throwing into a well, and the failure of Xixia's marriage. He found his only hope for the restoration of the country based on despair - thanks to Duan Yanqing As a righteous father, he took advantage of Dali's power to restore the country.

And when Murong Fu worshiped Duan Yanqing as his adoptive father, should he kneel or not?This is the point of contention between Yu Min and Chu Xuan.

In the original version, Murong Fu is kneeling.

In this version, in order to let Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, maintain a graceful posture, [kneeling] was changed to [not kneeling].

Chu Xuan had opinions on this, so he came to the director team to discuss with Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min. This was the first time he raised objections.

"I still feel like I have to kneel." Chu Xuan said to Yu Min.

Then, Chu Xuan raised his smile again and said, "However, we are just actors, and you are all bosses. You have the final say on how to act, and I will do it."

"Haha..." The director team laughed.

Zhang Jizhong also smiled loudly, patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, and said, "You boy, everyone has a different understanding of characters. It's normal to have objections. We just discuss it together. What you said made my crew look like Seems like hegemonism, without a basic right to speak? That’s not right.”

Yu Min and the others smiled when they heard this, and at the same time rolled their eyes inwardly.

This is Chu Xuan, but try another young actor to raise objections?It is estimated that you will be blasted away with the word "scroll".

Zhang Jizhong thought about the argument between Yu Min and Chu Xuan, and said, "Well, the original version of [Kneeling] and the modified version of [No Kneeling] have their own changes, which one is better, let's talk through the camera."

Yu Min nodded and said "Yes", then smiled at Chu Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, if my point of view is right, would you treat me to dinner?"

Chu Xuan raised a smiling face: "If my point of view is right, Director Yu, would you invite me?"

Yu Min narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Naturally."

Zhang Jizhong smiled, waved his hands and said, "Go get ready."

Chu Xuan got up and walked out.

- the set.

In an ancient lobby-like building, the actors were looking for their own status, and Chu Xuan and Mr. Ji Chunhua were sitting opposite each other.

Chu Xuan was also silent, thinking of the re-interpretation of the character Murong Fu before filming this scene, his thoughts also surged.

He understood Yu Min's words, Murong Fu didn't kneel when he worshiped Duan Yanqing as his adoptive father, he looked more handsome, more demonic, more airy, and more arrogant.It is in line with the fine-tuned personality of Murong Fu by the director team and screenwriter team.

After all, the Murong Fu he plays is different from Mr. Xiuqing's Murong Fu in the original version. From the very beginning, he swung a fan and sank the ship, pretended to be a Xixia Yipintang warrior, broke into the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference by mistake, and so on.

His Murong Fu's demeanor is laid-back and indifferent, like a literati; and when facing the heroes, he is gentle and elegant, like an elegant person; when facing Qiao Feng in Shaoshi Mountain, his posture is so high, like a top man.

Even in the embarrassment after being defeated by Duan Yu, after a few scenes were laid out, he, Murong Fu, left the scene without losing his leisure.

What Yu Min meant was to let him, Murong Fu, maintain this posture, to give Murong Fu a final image that is elegant even though he lowers his posture to beg for help.

However, Chu Xuan's thoughts were completely opposite to Yu Min's.

Everyone encounters different things in different scenarios, and their current attitudes and actions are different.

Just like the Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry: when you meet someone who can take a joke, then we will be funny; when you meet a serious person, then you will be serious; Be natural; when you meet juniors, then let's be friendly; on serious occasions, then let's be steady.

No one maintains the same attitude, the same character, and the same xinxing throughout his life.If so, it's not a human, it's a robot.

Therefore, in the world, if you want to get along well, life is like asking for alms, meeting people in thousands of ways, nothing more than that.

Naturally, Murong Fu should do the same.

Before Murong Fu turned into a demon, the people and things Murong Fu encountered were not enough to make him lose his composure, so it was in line with his character to keep quiet and elegant.

However, when Murong Fu is turned into a demon and faces a turning point in his life, there should be a corresponding change of mind and reversed words and deeds.

This is like in real life, a high school student who pins his hopes on the college entrance examination. The high school student's excellent grades make him very proud, and he is sought after in school.

What about this high school student?

Ashamed and ashamed to see others?Depressed and want to commit suicide?Hiding at home every day and not daring to go out?Classmates send a WeChat message but dare not reply?Your friends ask you to go out to play but you dare not go?Or revive and go to repeat?

One thing makes the originally hopeful heart become fragmented and complicated, and its words and deeds will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

And if this high school student is given a chance at this time, a chance that is not weaker than going to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Chu Xuan thought, in such a broken state of mind, most people would choose to hold on to it, even if they gave up their dignity!

Therefore, facing the only hope of restoring the country, Murong Fu must kneel down! !
"boom."

Chu Xuan lifted his robe with his right hand, knelt down on both knees without hesitation, and kowtowed repeatedly to Duan Yanqing played by Ji Chunhua.

This kneeling, after two months, Chu Xuan's interpretation of Murong Fu's nobility, elegance, leisurely, and elegant, no longer exists!
With this kneeling, the elegant and handsome image of Murong Fu, Chu Xuan, may become shattered in the eyes of the audience!
"What does this mean, sir?"

"I heard that His Highness has no sons, and I would like to ask His Highness to accept me as his adopted son. We will work together to achieve great things."

When saying this line, Chu Xuan licked his face and smiled, his tone was full of frivolity, temptation and longing.

He looks like a villain!
He is completely different from the indifferent yet arrogant Murong Fu before!

Before the viewfinder.

The eyes of Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and others were a little complicated, full of thoughts.

The elegant and handsome young man, the dashing man of mortals, the floating Gusu native, the elegant Murong Fu who was shaped by Chu Xuan himself... disappeared.

And this Murong Fu, who is like a villain, kneels in front of the leader of the wicked, begging to take him in?
They have a sudden feeling.

This scene seemed to be like Sun Wukong, instead of trying to fight for one thing, he knelt down in front of the Bull Demon King and begged for help.

This is an insult to Sun Wukong!
It will definitely make the audience angry!
For Chu Xuan's current Murong Fu, the director team also felt the same way.

Hate it for nothing!

As a descendant of the Dayan royal family, he went to worship Duan Yanqing as his adoptive father and angered him for being unfilial!

And this is exactly the effect that Chu Xuan wants to deduce.

Why is Monkey King loved by so many people?

If Sun Wukong was rebellious from beginning to end, regardless of right and wrong, would there still be so many people like it?Chu Xuan made a question mark in his mind.

What Chu Xuan understands is that since Sun Wukong came out of Wuzhi Mountain and bowed to Tang Seng, Sun Wukong has changed, become kind, funny, forbearing, affectionate and righteous. This is the favorite in the hearts of the audience. The Monkey King.

Chu Xuan played the role of Murong Fu, he did not expect and it was impossible for him to interpret the height of Monkey King that seemed to last forever and was always remembered by the audience.

But as an actor, I naturally hope that my role can be remembered by the audience.

If he, Murong Fuzhen, floats from the beginning to the end, then this character may amaze the audience for a while, but he will never be remembered by the audience forever.

Because this kind of person who looks perfect or has only one posture only exists in a false world, and will only be incomprehensible and forgotten by people over time.

How will it be remembered by the audience?

In a word.

——Perform human nature that the general public can understand!
As long as the audience understands, it will resonate whether it is love or hate.After resonating, the audience will naturally remember this character and this actor deeply.

This is also what Chu Xuan, as an actor, has been pursuing in his previous life, and has worked hard for half his life.

"Crack!"

"pass!"

In front of the viewfinder, Yu Min put down the walkie-talkie and sighed softly: "Xiaoxuan is really ruthless, and he is also a really good actor. It takes a lot of courage for him to tear up his character. Just this scene It will definitely be rejected and despised by the audience."

As he said that, Yu Min smiled at Zhang Jizhong: "But I'm convinced by our teacher Xiao Chu's level of understanding of characters. This kneeling is right. At least, just now, even I, the director, have had great mood swings. Both Hate, hate him, and despise him, and under the comparison of Xiaoxuan, Murong Fu, he feels a little bit sad, which can be said to be mixed."

The director team smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Then do you still want to shoot [No Kneeling]?" Zhang Jizhong asked with a smile.

"Shoot it! I don't want to shoot anymore, I just want this shot, the acting is too good." Yu Min waved his hands with a smile.

People nearby smiled.

At this moment, Chu Xuan came towards this side, and Concubine Liu Yi said to her face: "Brother Xuan, the Murong Fu you played just now made me want to hit you so much, it's so disrespectful."

Hu Jun, Cheng Hao and others laughed when they heard the words, and Hu Jun smiled and said: "That's right, if you have this emotion, it means that Xiaoxuan is doing well."

With a smile on his face, Chu Xuan asked Yu Min, "Director Yu, how are you doing?"

With a smile on his face, Yu Min said: "If your finale goes well, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"No more shots of [No Kneeling]?" Chu Xuan laughed.

"No more." Yu Min waved his hand.

Zhang Jizhong clasped his hands together, and smiled at Chu Xuan: "Let's change the scene, finish your scene as early as possible, and it's considered a completion."
