Become a dramatist from today

A reading meeting is an activity that is basically carried out before the filming of film and television dramas. To put it simply, it is when the creative team gathers to share their insights on the script.

If it were an adaptation of an ordinary novel, the author of the original work would also be present, but if Jin adapted the drama... Mr. Jin Yong would not be able to come.

At this moment, in a conference room, more than 30 people from the creative team were sitting in an orderly manner according to the number of seats. Huang Baiyou and Guo Xing were sitting in a row, which further confirmed his judgment on his social fear.

The latter puts his feet together when he sits down. This detail cannot be used to determine whether he is a sociopath. It may also be that he is of high quality and is willing to compress his own space so as not to affect others. What made Huang Baiyou sure was that Guo Xing started talking non-stop from the moment he sat down. Even though the topic itself was embarrassing, he still had the courage to speak, and the lower right corner of the script in his hand was wrinkled.

"Why is there no prop group in this reading meeting?" Huang Baiyou asked deliberately.

"The round-up is also divided into big and small. The kind you mentioned is a large round-up, with hundreds of people participating. Generally speaking, a large round-up is the communication between the director and the lighting and photography props, and the small round-up is the communication between the screenwriter and the actors. , the functions are different." Guo Xingmenqing, "In most cases, large-scale readings will appear in the film industry, where the director communicates the effect he wants to present."

"You put it like that and I understand. I understand so much. I have filmed several movies and I still don't understand the twists and turns." Huang Baiyou praised.

"After all, I have been in the entertainment industry for four or five years." Guo Xing was very happy in his words.

Huang Baiyou is a guy who praises people. He never praises obvious advantages. For example, there was a high school student who didn’t go to school to play games. He had several national servers and pesticides in hand. Huang Baiyou would not praise him for playing games well. Instead, "Your logic and command skills are really good. You reached the high ground in eleven minutes." and asked, "Your shooter didn't obey the command just now and almost caused the team to be wiped out. I would have just scolded you." You actually comforted him." Then the high school student told him that it was just a game. Anyway, he only met his teammates for this round, so he shouldn't be too angry.

Getting back to business, Guo Xing further explained to Huang Baiyou some of the unspoken rules of the crew. Some rules are useful, such as you cannot sit on random chairs and you must know which one you have; some rules are useless, such as women cannot sit in the camera box... But as they chatted, Guo Xing's nervousness eased a lot.

Above the seats were screenwriter Lao Xia and director Li Cang, sitting facing the creative team. The reaction was a bit like a symposium. It was not until Li Cang stood up that the noisy discussion gradually became quieter and disappeared.

"Who would like to share their understanding of the script, Zinan? You go first." Li Cang directly named him, "What are your thoughts on the character?"

Wu Zinan plays the leading male role of Linghu Chong. He couldn’t wait to get up and was ready to understand. “My character was an orphan since he was a child and was raised by his master and his wife, so his character is a bit timid, but because of the values ​​he acquired, he is very The two paths of good and evil have their own understandings, and they believe that not everyone on the right path is good, and not everyone on the evil path is bad, so we have a certain tolerance for Ren Yingying."

"And this kind of character also allows him to make friends with many people from the chaotic camp in the world." Wu Zinan added, "He has a chivalrous heart."

When Li Cang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and did not speak. Instead, he turned his attention to screenwriter Lao Xia.

"Seize your own values ​​of good and evil, and be bohemian. You can play the role well by relying on these two points." Lao Xia commented and asked: "Are there any other problems with the role?"

"Basically not." Wu Zinan walked down and couldn't help but glance to the back. What he wanted to see was someone's admiring look, but what he received was an encouraging look that said, "Come on, young man, you're already doing great."

Damn it, do you understand the four elements of character structure? Do you know what the Stan Lislavsky Experience is? Have you heard of Suzuki Tadashi Performance System? Wu Zinan was so angry. He wanted to see what "imperial decree" Bai Di and the others could come out of their mouths.

Next up is the female lead, Gao Zi, who starts talking to the male lead, Cheng Guang.

"Lan Fenghuang has an outgoing and generous personality. He is someone who will risk everything for love." Gao Zi said, "That's it."

Screenwriter Lao Xia commented: "It's warm and generous, and has the courage to pursue true love. It's pretty good."

"I read the script and thought that Dongfang Bubai is a character with lofty ideals and builds a harmonious world. Well... he is also a knight who has escaped from vulgar taste." Cheng Guang also made a little joke at the end.

Do you think you are very humorous? Director Li Cang thought so in his heart, but Cheng Guang was from the management, so he tried his best to put on a smile on his face.

"Lao Xia, tell me." Li Cang said.

"Dongfang Bubai wants to establish a bloodless world because his relatives died in Jianghu vendetta, so he has the ambition to change the world." Lao Xia reminded, "Be careful to show your paranoia when performing."

"Okay, Teacher Xia." Cheng Guang nodded.

Director Li Cang asked: "So are there any questions about Dongfang Invincible?"

"Yes... no, I'll think about it when I get back." Cheng Guang nodded first and then shook his head, then sat down and wrote down what the screenwriter just said with a pen. He was sitting very boldly, with his legs spread wider.

Huang Baiyou realized that he was a little preconceived. He cast an encouraging look at Wu Zinan, sincerely with the intention of encouraging him. Because the analysis of this character is too floating, it is all general adjectives and not at all in-depth. However, listening to the opinions of Gao Zi and Cheng Guang, and compared with their peers, it seems that the former's thoughts are deeper.

From the director to the screenwriter to the actors, they really regarded Swordsman as a costume love story, and the script was also changed in this direction.

After talking about the second male and second female, it’s definitely time to move on to the third male and female.

"I have a lot to say, can you tell me first?" Huang Baiyou suddenly asked.

What’s a bit much to say? I must have seen other actors talking about stage fright. And put it so tactfully. But anyway, Guo Xing was still willing to help, even though he was working in tandem.

"Director Li, let me first tell you what I think about Yue Lingshan." Guo Xing took a deep breath, stood up and spoke proactively.

"Okay, tell me." Li Cang said.

"Yue Lingshan fell in love with Lin Pingzhi at first sight. Although it was love at first sight, she was also extremely loyal to her feelings. Knowing that her father Yue Buqun set a trap to assassinate Lin Pingzhi, she firmly stood by her husband." Guo Xingyu laughed and said: "Haha, That’s roughly it, am I understanding correctly?”

"Very good. You can also add a little bit of childhood sweethearts Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong, but mixed with brother and sister love." Lao Xia said, "So there is less of an element of transference and love."

Guo Xing nodded, indicating that she understood, but she sat down and looked at Huang Baiyou with an expression of "I can only help you so much". Then she saw a surprising scene. The person next to her opened the script, and then the script The blank space was filled with notes written with a black gel pen. I also saw a thick stack of A4 paper sandwiched inside, and the paper was also densely packed with records.

What kind of scroll king is this?
