Chapter 79

"Did you hear that?" Huang Lei pointed at the three young people including Ding Cheng with his chopsticks, and said earnestly, "This is all the experience of the seniors. Good actors come out of the stage step by step."

"While you are young, go to the stage to hone and hone when you have time, and come back to act after experiencing different feelings. I can guarantee that no matter what role you portray, your acting skills will definitely not be a problem."

Xu Wenzheng nodded, and said seriously: "I think the so-called art film is a shot that walks over, or shoots a boat for a long, long time, but that actually avoids people and is farther away from people."

"The distance between a person and a person is the most plain happiness. First, I don't look for any artistic independence in terms of techniques, but look at people with the most plain eyes. This is the balance between art and business. relation."

"I have tried pure self-expression a long time ago, but extreme expression is easier. Because it has no boundaries, I just need to work hard to be different and match my own performance."

"But doing things within a frame, doing things within limited regulations, you can still complete your own expression, this is the most difficult."

After hearing this, Huang Lei tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and said dissatisfied: "Tell me something easy to understand, how old are these children?"

Xu Wenzheng saw Peng Peng and his younger sister next to him full of confusion, trying to understand, and said with a smile: "Middle age is nothing more than family, career, money, marriage, and children's education. Every family has hard-to-read scriptures. At least I don't see anyone's life is particularly perfect."

"For example, for me, the most obvious thing is to be fat! People around you say that you are fat, and then they force you to lose weight, and then you want to eat..."

"So when people reach middle age, they haven't reconciled with their own desires, haven't grown up, and are always fighting against life. These are actually good movie themes. You can still think about these things when making movies."

"For example, I am not a savior. When I was preparing for the protagonist, I paid special attention to a man who chopped meat in the vegetable market. I just observed that middle-aged man who was chopping meat, and felt that time seemed to have stopped on him! "

"The development of the times does not seem to have a particularly big mark on these people. You can imagine that he might play mahjong at night, come over during the day and chop meat in this butcher shop, and have three meals a day. It is very simple."

"This middle-aged life seems calm on the surface, but it is just a false balance. I was inspired by it and used this numbness to shape the protagonist's life state, until this state was completely broken by the intervention of external events."

"So the numbness of the character in the early stage is the most interesting part of my script creation, because the plot has given this character a highlight, from an ordinary person to a hero in the end, this is what the audience likes to watch most."

Ding Cheng looked at the others and listened with great interest. In fact, Xu Wenzheng had already discussed these with the actors when he was filming.At that time, the director's ideal was: once the protagonist appeared on the stage, the audience should be able to smell the lingering smell of him through the big screen.

Even during the final dubbing, Xu Wenzheng completely re-examined his performance and regretted that many parts were not handled to the extreme.

He felt that he should play this character as bad or worse at the beginning, because he has been accepted by the audience for acting in comedies, so the subconscious mind is always willing to present the good side of the character.

Finally, I found a truth: there is no need to do this at all, as long as you have the ability to finally break through, the audience will recognize you more.

In the end, he was still reluctant to be so bad, or the market hijacked his original intention, and now a real bad guy is really not allowed to appear. Going bad means going against the market, and no one dares to make trouble with the box office.

Xu Wenzheng touched his bald head, pondered for a moment, and concluded: "I have been acting for 20 years, but I still feel that I have not liberated my nature. Of course, I have liberated a little bit in the process, and I may do better next time!"

"After all, my brother's handsome face is here, so no audience should think I'm a bad guy, right?"

Everyone roared with laughter. The director was very satisfied with today's results. This kind of topic is very interesting. It can not only satisfy the audience's gossip mentality, but also go deeper than parents' short stories.

As if remembering something, Xu Wenzheng asked Huang Lei: "By the way, last time I saw you post on WeChat Moments, Duoduo also started to play Peach Blossom Land?"

The topic returned to Huang Lei and He Jiong. Ding Cheng checked the information and found that Crush in Peach Blossom Land had its premiere in Taipei in 86, with unprecedented grandeur.

Not only did there are many additional performances, but the scalper tickets were sold at 2000 yuan each, creating a history and miracle of Taiwan drama.

In the following 32 years, a total of seven versions were produced, plus a film version.The participating actors can also be regarded as representatives of the three generations of Chinese-speaking theater circles, old, middle-aged and young.

The drama consumes a lot of energy of the actors. Not only does it need to run, dance, rap and sing on the stage, but also every performance cannot be copied and disseminated, and it can only be disseminated by a venue performance.

The remuneration can even be ignored. For example, first-line stars such as Huang Lei and He Jiong heard from Zhang Fen that the salary for each season of an extreme challenge program is as high as 3000 million.

Even in this so-called slow life reality show, Mr. He's salary is almost 1800 million.

And the two of them starred in a crush on Peach Blossom Land at the same time, even if all the seats are filled, the total income of the whole show will not exceed 150 million.

This also includes the salaries of other actors and staff, venue rental fees, equipment fees, publicity fees, ticketing agents, etc.

You said besides true love,

What else could there be?
Huang Lei and He Jiong looked at each other, eyes full of memories, Mr. He said emotionally: "In 12 years, the crew traveled to 42 cities, with a journey of 85000 kilometers, the two of us performed 800 performances, and we ate thousands of times just for supper.

"This Peach Blossom Land has become the most important family member in the lives of many participants. I still remember that director Lai Shengchuan's daughter was only five years old. When Jin Shijie and Ding Naizhu were rehearsing in the living room, the little girl was sleeping on the sofa."

"When the [-]th anniversary version was performed, she played the little nurse in the play. When the [-]th anniversary version was performed, she was already a mother of two children."

Teacher Huang's eldest daughter, Duoduo, also grew up in the background.This play can be said to accompany her ten years of childhood growth.

With a sore nose, Huang Lei suppressed his emotion and said, "Every time at the end of the performance, Mrs. Jiang pushes me out of the stage in a wheelchair and the lights go out, I always think that one day, I will be pushed out of the stage of my life like this. , At that time, I will still try my best and work hard to complete this last scene that the audience loves!"
