Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

After Tao Qingfeng returned home, Aunt Shen kept some food for him, but Tao Qingfeng was already full of coffee.I fell asleep in the middle of the night but no one felt sleepy. I tossed and turned on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.Still thinking about the historical materials I saw in the library during the day...

The Xiyuan tragedy, more than 300 wronged souls, dead and alive mentors and friends, can they be companions on Huangquan Road?As soon as Tao Qingfeng closed his eyes, he couldn't breathe. He wanted to offer flowers and incense to them in a strange time and space.He decided to buy some incense paper money tomorrow.

Then I thought about it, thousands of years ago, after the body was decapitated, did anyone collect the body for him and set up a green tomb?

Yan Dansheng, who survived smoothly... In the glorious 30 years of his official career, did he feel a little sad about the death of his former colleague?

It will still be sad.Although their relationship can't reach the level of friends, it is better than nodding acquaintances after all, and they won't be completely indifferent like a stranger passing away.

Yan Dansheng... changed his name to Yan Dan.

Today I met an associate professor in a "university" named Yan Dan.

I didn't reveal my identity to Yan Tan today, but in the future... If I meet him again, I won't be able to wear a mask and hat forever.Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, if he didn't meet in public next time, he might be able to show his true face to Yan Tan.

To try to make like-minded friends, this is not a thousand years ago, there is no imperial power, no political parties, no aristocrats, no ambitions bound by status...

In a daze, Tao Qingfeng suddenly wanted to ask——

——If we were friends, what would you say to me?

He didn't know, but what he wanted to ask was the new university professor he met today, or the former colleague from thousands of years ago?

----------------------

The screenwriter of "Queen of Guining" sent the revised third draft script to the production team three days later.

Six days after the film was started, Zhong Yujiao and Zhang Fenghao had several scenes.However, the part of the script with major changes has not been filmed.So theoretically it has no effect on them.

But just as the screenwriter expected, within a day after the script was sent out, she was questioned one after another by the director, the production announcement team, and the two leading actors.All of them had heard about the advisory panel asking for a revision of the script.But I also thought that it would not be too traumatic to change it even if it was a formality, and I could handle it.

Unexpectedly, the screenwriter directly deleted most of the plots in the romance.

The director's opinion on this is the most exciting: Without those few symbolic events, would Xiangchang still be Xiangchang?Is Tiansheng still Tiansheng?Although it is a romance, the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, bravery and love conveyed in it are all things that can touch the masses and have always been loved by people.

Does the opinion of the advisory group really have to be changed day and night?There are ten members of the Advisory Group. Don't they have different opinions?As long as the activities are active, coupled with the pressure from the management, they may change their minds again.Why change most of the plot so urgently?

Besides, from the point of view of the filming process, the script cannot be changed at will during the start-up period. Only those shoddy TV dramas will have the pages of the script flying all over the sky, and the scene of changing them every day.Even if there are details to be adjusted in the movie script, the general direction is set very early——

The director protested to this level, and was dumb, because he saw Meng Xiaodan's resentful eyes——

Director, please think back to the direction that the ministry set for this film at the beginning——

Taking the moving stories of heroes and daughters as clues, to carry forward the history and culture of Province A, and promote the tourism economy——

Well, this is indeed the slogan when attracting investment, but due to the requirement of private return on investment, this movie also added a lot of blockbuster standard features in the middle, love triangle (Prince Guangji almost wrote it as a square love), heroes and beauties, special effects actions... ...Fortunately, the content of Romance has its own explosive points, so there is no pressure.

But are those really all about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courage and love?Not necessarily, more is to satisfy the audience's mentality of seeking novelty and entertainment.The advisory group composed of historical experts saw it and felt that it was urgent to revise—in Yan Tan’s words—“With the weight of these few people in history, such things as bathing and whipping by the spring, running around in a love triangle at night, are all vulgar. gone."

What is vulgar and what is lofty, everyone has different standards.But since it is a provincial film, of course it depends on the organizer's will.This is why Meng Xiaodan keenly sensed the direction of the wind, stayed up late at night to read all the materials Yan Tan sent her, and then changed the third version of the script at the speed of light.

After the director realized this reason, he accepted it resignedly.And persuade the actors to continue shooting at the normal schedule.Not to mention that Zhong Yujiao and Zhang Fenghao are in a mess, and when they are all put together, they will restore the words of the plot of the whipping scene when they are on the variety show-they have even corrected this scene in advance.These two veterans in the entertainment circle knew from the very beginning that this would definitely become a hot topic during the announcement—unexpectedly, the whole thing was deleted.

Apart from Zhong Yujiao and Zhang Fenghao, the actor who is most confused is the male No. [-] Shazhou.

The scene of Shazhou has only just started filming, so changing the script has little impact.However, all the plots of Liu Gangu in the novel were deleted and replaced with historical ones.When he read the script again, he was shocked to find that the character he was going to play seemed to be a different person?

Shazhou listened to storytelling when he was a child, and the image of a hero who only had the righteousness of the country in his heart, and even though he was admired by beauties, he uprightly and resolutely rejected each other, suddenly became a general who "dreams with banners, dances and dances without joy"—many details do feel more real, It is more like a "person", but it is also more difficult for Shazhou to understand.Is it serious and rigid?Or be respectful and cautious?Or bold and courageous?

Shazhou vaguely felt that he could gradually see the character more clearly through the script.Like floating from the sky, a little bit of clarity stands on the ground.But it cannot be imitated.Just like a landscape painting covered by clouds and mist, it is easy to be covered with a piece of fog, but it looks similar from a distance.But if the painting becomes clear, it will be difficult to paint the finely detailed brushstrokes vividly.

Of course, Sha Zhou couldn't express this feeling, he could only intuitively feel that the script was more refined, but the role was more difficult to play.

An idol group like Shazhou couldn't play with Zhong Yujiao and his veteran veterans at the beginning. In order to help him adapt to the script earlier, an assistant director would take him to familiarize himself with the play in advance.Also enjoying this treatment are the second female Liu Qihui and the fourth male Tao Qing.

There is no second female role today, and the assistant director is Sha Zhou and Tao Qingfeng.

Tao Qingfeng was waiting by the side. He was going to shoot the first film since the start of the film today. When the assistant director finished telling Shazhou about the scene, he would come and take him.

Tao Qingfeng had already finished reading Meng Xiaodan's third edition of the script, and this time he was much more satisfied.Most of the content of the Romance has been replaced by the official history in "Tiansheng Benji Manuscript" and "Tong Jian Manuscript", and there are some famous private history content such as "History of Post-Daxing History" and "Continued Daxing Tongjian Kao". Authoritative materials other than the official history supplement have been added.Tao Qingfeng guessed that it was probably Yan Tan's handwriting.In three days, Meng Xiaodan definitely didn't have time to find it by himself.

The narrative styles of "The Chronicle of Tiansheng" and "History of Post-Daxing" are different. "The Chronicle of Tiansheng" is for the emperor's family, and Liu Gangu is a courtier of Tiansheng. His image is that of reverent, submissive, silent and reliable.The official commented on him that "there is nothing in the world, the general is diligent and hardworking"※.However, "History of Post-Daxing" is a chronicle, and it selects typical events of characters. It describes Liu Gangu's heroic character profile of "the general boasted of courage, and his merits are killing people. He holds the bell against the wine and draws his sword in the wind*".

Meng Xiaodan has tried his best to unify the styles of different history books with modern language, and also used logical plots to present reasonable reasons for personality changes.But she still overestimated the comprehension ability of the idol niche—Shazhou was obviously confused, he couldn’t grasp the context of the change, he just thought that if he acted like this, the characters would be very sharp—in fact, the effect of his acting was indeed very good Precision.

The assistant director criticized him: "When you toasted Emperor Tiansheng, it was written in the script (wry smile). You are facing the emperor, and you suffer for the starving and cold soldiers stationed at the border, but you cannot Crying and toasting to the emperor. That is the emperor, you have to smile at him, and at the same time show the pain in your heart—this kind of pain is the crux of Liu Gangu's life, so he can "drink three hundred cups of fine wine" at the border, But as soon as you return to the capital, you will 'everything is out of your body in the end'."

Shazhou changed his grinning expression again: "Is that so?"

The assistant director simply gave up: "You think of me as a screenwriter, and you have to grind the script to make it so difficult to act. If the screenwriter stands in front of you, you can't cry, you have to smile at her. Yes, it is You can feel this kind of appearance now, right?"

Shazhou smiled wryly: "I seem to understand."

The assistant director said: "Your expression now is a standard wry smile in the literal sense. But in fact, the depth of Liu Gangu presented in the script should be a little thicker...but forget it, you can't do it now. "

At the same time, I was feeling in my heart: With this change in the script, the difficulty of the scenes prepared for the idols in the past has been increased by more than one level, and the real history is more trivial and multi-faceted.The requirements for the acting skills of these idols have been abruptly raised by more than one level.

It also increased the workload of these assistant directors many times.Playing scenes one after another, he has been working overtime for the past few days and has suffered from severe sleep deprivation.There was only Sha Zhou's play alone, and Tao Qing's was added today. He might not be able to go back until midnight.The assistant director with dry mouth told him to take a 5-minute break and drink water.

Shazhou was still in place, scratching his head and continuing to practice his facial expressions in front of the mirror.

The assistant director glanced at Tao Qingfeng, who was waiting to watch, and saw that he looked like an old god, without any sense of crisis, which was very dazzling.But when he came back with water, he heard Tao Qingfeng say something to Shazhou from a distance——

"You can actually let go of your smile a little more."

Shazhou didn't like Tao Qingfeng very much, and he heard Tao Qingfeng's speech at the ribbon-cutting ceremony last time.The provincial media cut Tao Qingfeng's speech into the video, but did not report him.Shazhou thought about Tao Qing's level of illiteracy, and he didn't know how long he had memorized it.What kind of onion is Tao Qing's acting skills?I was very unconvinced.

But the entertainment industry still wants to maintain a hypocritical friendly relationship, so Shazhou asked Tao Qingfeng with his idol's signature smile: "The assistant director said that the core of this character is pain. He has been throughout his life, how can he laugh?"
