I'm just an actor

Today you stand on the altar, if your new play fails tomorrow, there is a high possibility that you will fall from the altar.

Unless you don't film anymore, such as Zhou Xingchi, then you can stay on the altar forever.

But Yue Guan is still young, and he will definitely not quit the entertainment circle now, so the higher he is praised, the more cautious Yue Guan will be.

Even more cautious than before.

Originally, Yue Guan was planning to make a cameo appearance in "Shadow" after finishing his work in "Glory of the Great Man", so as to get some regal air.Yue Guan is not particularly optimistic about the box office ceiling of "Shadow", so he himself is not particularly concerned.

But "Glory of the Big Man" is really too successful.

So successful that he raised the bar for himself.

The film "Shadow" is not friendly enough to ordinary audiences.

Zhang Yimou has his own aesthetics, and his artistic aesthetics are often inconsistent with the audience's aesthetics.

Great directors like to play with metaphors, play with brains, and play with inscrutable...

These problems exist in the script of "Shadow".

Originally, Yueguan didn't care much about these issues, anyway, he didn't take pictures himself.

But now that he decided to guest play the role of Pei Wang Peiliang, he began to care about these issues.

Pei Wang Peiliang has a lot of roles.

If he is serious about filming, no matter how good his acting is, he will easily be implicated by the whole film of "Shadow".

So there are only two options left for Yueguan:

First, if you don't take the role of Pei Wang Peiliang, it has nothing to do with him in what "Shadow" is made of.

Second, modify the script of "Shadow" to make the script of "Shadow" more friendly to ordinary audiences, less pretentious and more profound, and more simple and straightforward.

Yueguan chose the second option.

Good imperial dramas are hard to find.

Now that I decided to shoot with my heart, I just need to perfect the script of "Shadow".

If it was someone else, it would be very difficult to convince Zhang Yimou.

But Yueguan now has this ability and status.

Moreover, Yueguan wanted to make revisions to the script, which Zhang Yimou probably couldn't wish for.

No matter how great the director is, Zhang Yimou also knows that script ability is his weakness, while color and scene scheduling are his strengths.

Therefore, it is definitely a wise choice to hand over the script to Yueguan, who is recognized as having a stronger ability to control the market and the deepest ability to empathize with the audience.

Yue Guan talked to Zhang Yimou on the phone, and as he expected, Zhang Yimou was overjoyed.

He had visited Yueguan at Miracle Company before, and hoped that Yueguan would give some advice on the script of "Shadow".

At that time, Yue Guan did say some small opinions, but he didn't mention too many constructive ones, because Yue Guan didn't think about shooting by himself at the time, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

Now, Yueguan is obviously serious.

And when Yueguan became serious, there was no need to repeat his past achievements.

At this time, the production crew of "Shadow" had already started filming, and the national teacher announced the news that Yue Guan would come to the production team tomorrow, and at the same time said that he would revise the script, and the whole production team immediately became lively.

There are surprises and there are fears.

Everyone knew Yueguan's status, and also knew that the script of "Shadow" was provided by Miracle Company.

If Yueguan had a whim, he might have deleted all of their scenes.

But no matter how worried they were, they dared not say anything.

The core of Zhang Yimou's crew will always be Zhang Yimou, no matter how big the actor is, it's useless.

The addition of Yueguan made the combination of Yueguan + Zhang Yimou even more important.

Oppose this pair of combinations, unless you don't want to mix in the circle.

The next day.

Yueguan's car hadn't even arrived at the set yet, and the actors of the set gathered together to talk about it.

Deng Chao had the most people around, because everyone knew that Yue Guan and Deng Chao had a good relationship, and Yue Guan provided him with the "Mermaid" script that made Deng Chao famous.

"Chao, is Yueguan easy to get in touch with? Is he arrogant?" Wang Qianyuan asked.

He is a typical late-blooming actor, and his famous work is still a literary film. He finally won the favor of Zhang Yimou and starred in the movie of the National Teacher. If he loses this opportunity, Wang Qianyuan will be very distressed.

So he paid close attention to Yueguan.

Others also looked at Deng Chao.

Regardless of the box office performance of Zhang Yimou's drama, as long as Zhang Yimou opens a new drama and says he needs actors, there will be basically no stars in the circle who are not tempted.

The national teacher has this appeal.

No one wants to lose this opportunity.

Deng Chao said: "Don't worry, Yue Guan is not difficult to deal with, he is quite nice, and he doesn't put on airs. As long as you don't offend him, Yue Guan is actually just an ordinary person."

"Except Director Zhang, who in the crew would dare to offend him." Wu Lei said enviously.

Guan Xiaotong glanced at Wu Lei, shook his head and said, "Director Zhang doesn't dare to offend Yue Guan."

Deng Chao listened and laughed: "Why is Yueguan so scary as you say? I have been in contact with him a few times, and he is very approachable."

Send him two resources directly.

Deng Chao felt that Yueguan was the No. [-] good man in Tianzi.

Sun Li gave Deng Chao a look: "To you, Yue Guan is of course a good person. Aren't we worried about our own roles? Director Zhang said that Yue Guan wants to change the script."

She is the heroine of "Shadow", and the drama in this drama has a lot of roles and is very important. Sun Li actually doesn't want to change it.

But she knew that her own thoughts were not important, but Yue Guan's.

Fortunately, Yue Guan and Deng Chao have a good relationship. Sun Li asked Deng Chao specifically when they were sleeping last night. Deng Chao also said that Yue Guan would definitely not cheat on their husband and wife, so Sun Li was a little relieved.

But others don't have that assurance.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Yue Guan joined the crew.

Zhang Yimou was the first to go up to him, but no one dared to fight him.

"Yueguan, you are finally here."

Zhang Yimou and Yueguan hugged: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

This is the truth.

In Zhang Yimou's eyes, Yueguan is basically equivalent to a box office of [-] million.

No wonder he didn't want it.

Yue Guan smiled lightly and said, "I've been busy all this time, and I couldn't get away. I finally got some free time, so I rushed to the crew right away. Director Zhang, I didn't rest at all."

"It's been hard work." Of course Zhang Yimou didn't mean to blame Yueguan.

"Shadow" was not included in Yueguan's original work plan, and Zhang Yimou was well aware of this.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Yue Guan briefly got to know the actors of the crew, before going straight to the point: "Director Zhang, let's do a script reading. The script needs to be revised, and everyone's opinions should also be consulted."

Of course Zhang Yimou had no objection.

However, although Yue Guan wanted to ask for other people's opinions, if he didn't speak first, the others would not dare to speak rashly.

What if my thoughts conflict with Yueguan?

When the time comes, who will go and who will stay?This question does not seem to need thinking.

Zhang Yimou was also very clear about the concerns of these actors, so he simply nodded to Yue Guan and said, "Yue Guan, tell me first."

Yue Guan is also not polite: "Then I will throw bricks to attract jade, Director Zhang, the script of "Shadow" is generally good, but some lines are buried too deep. If it is not a professional film critic, ordinary audiences may not be able to see it after watching the film." If you can't get it, such a hidden line may be meaningful for the movie, but it is meaningless for the box office."

Zhang Yimou straightened his body, and asked seriously, "For example?"

"For example, the line of Tian Zhan."

Hearing Yueguan talk about Tian Zhan, Wang Qianyuan's expression became serious.

This is his role.

"The line of Tian Zhan is buried too deep. I can guarantee that after watching the movie, most of the audience will find it difficult to realize that Tian Zhan is actually a member of Pei Wang Peiliang."

In his previous life, Yue Guan had read many movie reviews about "Shadow".

A sunspot's eloquent black "Shadow" has received thousands of likes, and even Tian Zhan, who is the king of Pei, didn't understand it.

This shows one thing: Those who liked him didn't understand it either.

But instead of complaining about the low IQ of these sunspots, we should reflect on if some hidden lines are buried so that people can't feel them at all, is there any meaning to such hidden lines?

Half a floor above the audience is okay.

But if it is a higher level, in terms of box office, it is actually unnecessary.

Just for the sake of style and style.

"Let's analyze the plot from the beginning. The background of "Shadow" is the war-torn era, when all the heroes rise together. Jingzhou, the key point of Pei State, was borrowed by the powerful neighbor Yan State in the early years, but it was not returned. Ziyu, the governor of Pei State, went to crusade However, he was stabbed by the opponent's general Yang Cang, and he was seriously injured. Unwilling, Ziyu secretly sent Jingzhou as a substitute to pretend to be himself, the prime minister of military affairs, and his wife Xiao Ai to help him.

Let’s divide it carefully, there are actually three forces in the movie "Shadow", the first force is Yan Kingdom, and Yang Cang is the supreme commander of Yan Kingdom.The second force is Ziyu, the governor of Peiguo. He has a lot of power in Peiguo, even more powerful than Peiliang, the king of Peiliang. Xiaoai is Ziyu's wife, and Jingzhou is Ziyu's stand-in.The third party force is King Peiliang, who wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom and also kill Ziyu, so as to become a powerful King Pei.

Since Pei Wang Peiliang has this ambition, he is naturally not a dreamer.In order to achieve this goal, he has always been active.Yang Ping, the son of Yang Cang in Yan Kingdom, sent a messenger to say that he wanted to take Qingping, the eldest sister of King Peiliang's sister, as his concubine. Peiliang said that he could consider it, but he didn't really consider it, because Qingping killed Yang Ping in the end.

But King Pei wanted to kill two birds with one stone and destroy Yan Guo and Zi Yu at the same time, so he must have a plan to get rid of Zi Yu, so Tian Zhan came out.

On the surface, Ziyu was dismissed by Peiliang because he disobeyed the king's order.

Tian Zhan directly "jumped back" at the court, and spoke for Zi Yu, "My lord, don't do it!" '.

Later, Yang Cang's son, Yang Ping, wanted to take Qingping, the eldest princess of Peiguo, as his concubine. Peiliang was about to agree, but Tian Zhan said again, "Sooner or later, Peiguo will be destroyed by your hands, fool!" '

Facing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Tian Zhan scolded and kicked, not showing any affection to Pei Liang.

And Peiliang shot Tian Zhan directly.

As a result, the arrow hit the ground.

Tian Zhan picked up the arrow and said, "Don't bother the Lord, I will do it myself." '

Then Tian Zhan stabbed himself with an arrow.

The stabbing was not critical, but it won Zi Yu's complete trust, became Zi Yu's absolute confidant, and at the same time deceived the enemy Yang Cang into being fooled.

After Zi Yu was dismissed, Tian Zhan became the number one general of Pei Kingdom.And Tian Zhan was also dismissed, and Pei Guo immediately became extremely weak.

So Yang Cang began to underestimate the enemy and withdrew [-] troops from the city.

And Zi Yu also secretly found Tian Zhan, and took Tian Zhan as his confidant.

In order to deceive Zi Yu's intention, Tian Zhan asked him, "Captain, why bother to imprison yourself in a secret room?"Why not take the lord instead? '

Unprepared, Zi Yu directly said everything about the double Jingzhou, and at the same time expressed his true intention, "You help me capture Jingzhou City, and when it is done, make me king and you are the governor." '

Tian Zhan, on the surface, is Zi Yu's confidant, but in fact he is a hard-core royalist.

It was precisely because of Tian Zhan's information that King Pei became murderous towards Zi Yu, and knew that Jingzhou City would be destroyed soon, so he was able to rescue Jingzhou when Jingzhou was about to be wiped out by Zi Yu.

It was also because of Tian Zhan's information that the assassins sent by King Pei were able to quickly find Zi Yu's hiding place.

Pei Wang Peiliang is not a faint king, but he is not an all-knowing and omnipotent god either. The reason why he can control the overall situation is only because Tian Zhan is his man from the beginning to the end. "

Yue Guan's words made many actors feel a little confused.

Tian Zhan is a member of Pei Wang Peiliang. This matter is not directly stated in the script, so many of them are not clear.

After hearing what Yue Guan said, they reacted.

That's what happened.

In this way, the plot is indeed smooth.

"Director Zhang, is that really the case?" Everyone looked at Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou nodded: "That's true. In fact, the buried line is still very clear, right?"

People who eat melons: "..."

Yue Guan spread his hands: "You can tell by everyone's reaction. This line of plot has not been explained from the beginning to the end. Unless you are serious about watching the movie, you will miss it."
