Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

Tao Qingfeng decided to go to the director to have a good chat, and suggested that the previous scenes should be re-shooted, and the latter scenes should not be filmed like this.

Although how to shoot in the end is a matter within the director's purview.Tao Qingfeng also understood that actors shouldn't overstep their bounds.Tao Qingfeng should have been like Fu Yin's advice, "Relax and play, and do what the director tells you to do." After these three months, 300 million was in his hands, and he didn't care about the rest.

However, Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, when the drama is filmed, he will be the one who will be scolded.

Passers-by will not watch this kind of thunder drama, but his own fans ceramics will definitely watch it. Tao Qingfeng is not a person who cares about other people's opinions, but he has to be responsible to his fans.I have the heart to preach to the saints, and I am ready to take on the social responsibility of an actor. What is the real value of this kind of film?Don't ask for ideas, at least it has to look beautiful, and the story should be clear at least.

Tao Qingfeng felt that his views on Mu Feike's original novels were too strict. Although the characters are well-defined, the story is wonderfully reversed, and the story is told from beginning to end. The reading experience is very good.

But this web drama was filmed - the director promised to cut the scenes of each group together - but Tao Qingfeng didn't believe that it could give others the impression of a complete story.Not to mention that the script is changed every day, and there are various conflicts before and after. Is this something that the dubbing teacher can instinctively make up for by reading the lines?

There are three directors, the director of group A is the chief director, and the director of group BC is the assistant director.Tao Qingfeng went to find the chief director.

The chief director was surprised that Tao Qingfeng came to him after work was over—he had no unspoken rules or the characteristics of being unspoken rules.The chief director has been filming step by step these days, which is similar to the progress of his previous scenes of tearing devils with his hands.Tao Qingfeng cooperated obediently on the spot, and it was obvious that he also memorized a lot of lines, which made the chief director very satisfied and felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Tao Qingfeng's first words when he came to him scared the chief director into a daze.

"I want to reshoot everything in front of me."

It's not that the chief director has never heard of the "reshoot" request, but it's usually an announcement, and if a more responsible actor proposes that the filming here or there be slower and more detailed, the director will also Listen.

But directly like Tao Qingfeng's request of "all reshoots", the chief director still thinks that he has taken the wrong medicine?Forty articles have been written in three days. According to the director's "sophisticated" editing skills, a 10-minute long film can be cut out to fool investors. It has been confirmed to be broadcast on their video webcast-this is also the reason why the director was absent-minded in shooting: it has been sold, don't be afraid.

"Why?" the chief director asked Tao Qingfeng, he didn't dare to show an impatient expression to the leading male lead directly. Although Tao Qingfeng was on the [-]th line before, but this year after "Queen of Guining" and changed his name, his momentum seems to have gained momentum some changes.If Xinghui Company didn't want to cultivate, they wouldn't give him the number one male.Although the male number one of this kind of online drama is not as good as that of TV dramas, it is still a "male number one".

"Because," Tao Qingfeng wanted to say a lot at that moment. He wanted to say that in the thin paper of the original work, there was a piece of soul fragment that was incomplete but still shone with scattered spiritual brilliance; he wanted to say that a play should be responsible to the audience. He wanted to say that actors have their own social values ​​and responsibilities... But looking at the cloudy eyes of the chief director, Tao Qingfeng suddenly thought of the uneducated, numb and ignorant villagers he met in his previous life.

Tao Qingfeng thought of Zhong Yujiao who was carrying the machine under the scorching sun during the filming of "Queen of Guining".

Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath, and felt that her words "I'm just shameless, I want to do it again" were really good.Although in his previous life, limited by his status, he would never say such a thing.However, once he discovered the motive that he could express, he felt better than he had ever felt.This is the first time he has broken free from "gentleman and gentleman", so he must restrain himself and return to courtesy, tame and obedient skin——

"Because, I just want to do it again." Tao Qingfeng stood upright by the door and said to the chief director.

At the same time, a voice told him deafeningly in his head: In fact, this is what the sages said, "the unity of knowledge and action" and "the extension of conscience".

That is the mind of the sage king: knowing what to do, and doing it, is "the unity of knowledge and action".Knowing what is right, sticking to this heart, is "to the conscience".

As a disciple of Confucianism, he knows very well what is the foundation and what is the appearance.But in his previous life, Taoism was subject to feudal rule, and Tao Qingfeng rarely had the opportunity to "know the good and the evil is the ultimate knowledge" and express his heart's wishes smoothly.

Even if the body dies, the learning will never be broken, and the orthodoxy will not disappear.After living again, his heart will not perish.

The chief director looked at Tao Qingfeng's indifferent but firm look, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he met that kind of "twisting" actor?This professional director of shredded devils is most afraid of working with that kind of actors, and he is notoriously tossing around.Unexpectedly, Tao Qingfeng also has such a tossing virtue.

The chief director tried to rescue him, and said tactfully: "Qingfeng...all the staff members will be very embarrassed...you are like this, isn't it good? Everyone, originally liked you..."

Tao Qingfeng stood where he was, his voice was not loud, but very clear.

"I act not for the love of the crew. This play is for the audience to watch."

The director thought to himself: I met another idealized newcomer, so silly, how many people would watch this kind of drama seriously?It can be packaged and sold smoothly, thank God everything is fine.What impacts playback volume or attracts viewers is the marketing that video sites need to worry about.

But he didn't refute Tao Qingfeng's request either - this director has ripped up so many devil dramas with his hands, and he is well versed in everything and his principles of doing things: if others want to be lazy, he will turn a blind eye to it; whatever.

"Qingfeng. I know that your pursuit is relatively high. This is also a good thing. But you also know that I am not a famous director, and my ability is really limited, and the shooting task is also very tight. How about this, when the next filming, If you are dissatisfied, you can NG yourself, if you think the scenes are wrong, you can change them yourself, if you think the lines are not good, you can discuss with the screenwriter yourself, and I will definitely not interfere."

The director rolled his eyes, and said: "However, within the schedule, absolutely do not exceed the time of each announcement, and never implicate everyone in working overtime. If you want to change the scenes of the previous three days, you can, but it cannot take up the progress time. You Discuss with other actors, photography, lighting, props, costumes, and see if they are willing to work overtime with you at night to make changes."

The chief director is also cunning.Tao Qingfeng, a young actor with little reputation, how could he instigate people from so many departments? Why should people listen to him, and why should he accompany him to work overtime to change the play?He thought to himself: Tao Qingfeng could easily get frustrated and give up obediently.As for his own side, he could still be happy and relaxed. Tao Qingfeng acted in charge by himself, and the chief director could even make up for sleepiness on the set.

Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, never expecting the director to agree to his request in this way.Although this sounds really irresponsible-rather, it is a kind of delegation of responsibility.But anyway, I still have a chance.

Tao Qingfeng accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said, "Thank you, director, for disturbing you." Then he walked out.

Now that the director's words were there, Tao Qingfeng rarely showed a happy smile. Although he hadn't implemented it much, it didn't hinder him. He had been in the officialdom all his life and had seen this kind of "authorization method" in a literal sense.He has also heard how those capable ministers do it.Although he was far away from them, Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, he would still be able to follow the gourd painting.

I'm sorry, Tao Qingfeng walked towards the screenwriter's room, thinking in his heart, this time, let him be a little bit willful and make some small articles commonly known as "chicken feathers should be arrows".

Four screenwriters live in three rooms.The two screenwriters who have experience live in a room, and the remaining two newly graduated screenwriters share a room.

Their scripts are written by division of labor.Tao Qingfeng can easily see that the style of the lines in many parts of the script, and even the understanding of the characters are not uniform.So although the script didn't say "Who wrote this paragraph", Tao Qingfeng could clearly see that there was a screenwriter who knew a lot about the original work, and cleverly embedded many of Mu Feike's original lines.But other screenwriters are just writing embarrassingly.

There is a screenwriter who presumably specializes in embarrassingly writing emotional scenes between the hero and heroine.It was written so bloody that it made Tao Qingfeng feel a headache while holding his forehead.

Tao Qingfeng knocked on the door of the experienced screenwriter. When she opened the door, she was surprised. She was probably the same as the director. She was surprised that she had neither unspoken rules nor the value of being unspoken. She was a top-notch puppet screenwriter. What did Qingfeng come to her after work?

Tao Qingfeng said: "I would like to ask the screenwriters about the plot. I wonder if I can invite you to have several screenwriters come over."

Gu puppet screenwriter No. [-] quickly calmed down, nodded and said: "They are next door, I'll knock on the door and ask."

Walking to the door of the room where the sound of "hahaha" playing the video came from inside, and after knocking, the two newly graduated screenwriters opened the door in their pajamas, and seeing Tao Qingfeng immediately slammed the door shut, stammering: "Sorry, let's change clothes first."

Gu puppet screenwriter No. [-] went to the other side of the same floor and knocked on the door of screenwriter No. [-]'s room who had written anti-Japanese thunder dramas.This time the door opened very quickly. The male screenwriter was holding a Switch in his hand. When he saw that it was the leading actor, he was so scared that he hurriedly put the game console back, grabbed his hair nervously, and followed them out.At this time, the two screenwriters who had just graduated had also changed their clothes. A group of people stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at Tao Qingfeng with a look of confusion, he had no choice but to propose: "How about... find a place and everyone sit down ?”

They finally sat at the round table in the open function hall, and all four of them looked directly at Tao Qingfeng.

Generally speaking, it is normal for actors to discuss with the screenwriter if they have problems with the script.But for this web drama, they didn't care about writing it themselves, so they seemed very nervous. They were afraid that if Tao Qingfeng asked a question, they would forget the details of the plot that they had written, which would be even more embarrassing.

Fortunately, Tao Qingfeng focused on the general direction, but soon they stopped laughing.

Yu Shanhai and Mei Wangxue didn’t know each other at all in the original work, but in order to string together a web drama, the life experiences of Yu Shanhai and Mei Wangxue were changed to childhood sweethearts, and they agreed with each other, but they separated when they grew up. .

Adapted as a drama, this setting is understandable.In fact, this is the only part that Tao Qingfeng thinks is quite natural to change for the sake of adding a love scene.The later plot line is what he wants to discuss.

Mei Wangxue wanted to assassinate the leader of the Demon Cult (this is the plot of "The Witch's Heart"), but Yu Shanhai stopped her and hindered her assassination plan (this is a new plot).

When Tao Qingfeng talked about this passage, he asked the screenwriters very sincerely: "I actually don't quite understand...why does Yu Shanhai want to stop Mei Wangxue? Shouldn't he be cooperating with her internally and externally? The Demon Cult has become the state religion of the enemy country , shouldn’t the undercover agent help his comrades? Not to mention joint assassination, at least provide some information?”

The Gu puppet screenwriter No. [-] who wrote this paragraph was stunned for a moment: "Because Mei Wangxue doesn't trust him. She won't appreciate Yu Shanhai's information, will she?"

After Yu Shanhai and Mei Wangxue reunited, they failed to renew their relationship, but turned against each other, because Mei Wangxue felt that Yu Shanhai defected to the enemy's country for the sake of prosperity and wealth, and became a treacherous and evil person. It also adds a new plot).

Tao Qingfeng said: "Whether she appreciates it or not, it's different whether Yu Shanhai wants to help her provide information." Tao Qingfeng added: "It's fine if there is no communication throughout the whole process. The two of them clearly had a separate relationship in the 'Here Pavilion' Get along, and also confirm that there is no eyeliner around. The undercover misunderstanding can be explained clearly in a few words, but..."

But they were embarrassingly inciting each other's "I hate you" and "you have changed" bitter scenes throughout the whole process, which is simply fooling the audience's IQ.

Gu puppet screenwriter No. [-] shrugged and said: "How can you explain the misunderstanding so quickly? If it makes sense, how will Yu Shanhai catch Mei Wangxue afterwards?"

In order to win the trust of the enemy and "prove his innocence", Yu Shanhai tied Mei Wangxue and handed it to the emperor of the enemy country (this is also a new plot).

Tao Qingfeng already had a lot of dissatisfaction with this plot, he frowned and said, "To be honest, I really think... Don't you think of a way to let her go, and then use your resourcefulness to clear yourself of the suspicion? I caught her with my own hands. She handed it in, which is too much, and nothing can be done later to make it up."

But the Gu puppet screenwriter No. [-] also said: "Qingfeng, the audience likes this dog blood now."

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, although he dare not say that he fully understands the tastes of modern people, he also dare not say that there is no audience in modern times who appreciate this kind of drama.But from the conscience of the most ordinary people, this kind of plot is really unacceptable-the emperor of the enemy country took a fancy to Mei Wangxue, wanted to accept her as a noble concubine, and tied her in the wedding room to moleste her on the day of the ceremony.Yu Shanhai was just outside the door, listening to the corner of the wall all night with a heartbroken heart.

Tao Qingfeng found it even more difficult to reason: "If I remember correctly, Yu Shanhai's identity as an undercover agent is the aide of the prince he is going to assassinate. How, how did he hear the corner of the enemy emperor's concubine?"

Gu puppet screenwriter said carelessly: "He has martial arts."

Tao Qingfeng wondered: "It wasn't an introduction earlier. Although he has martial arts, the royal family is heavily guarded, and there are many masters in the palace, so do you have to pretend that you don't know anything and wait for the opportunity to strike? If he can sneak into the place where the emperor of the enemy country spends the night, why? Don't kill him?"

The Gu puppet screenwriter was speechless, and could only say that it was forced to do so for the sake of the plot, some things were strong in martial arts, and nothing was difficult to move, mainly to listen to the corners.

When Tao Qingfeng said this, his tone was a little excited: "What's more, listening to the corner... What is it trying to explain? Does it show how great he is for righteousness and love? Why does he have to listen to the corner all night..."

Men are so useless, do they have any strange hobbies?

Tao Qingfeng has a lot of opinions on this plot.Although the characters in the original work are well differentiated before and after, at least there are no such inexplicable and vulgar plot settings.The early image of Yu Shanhai, a forbearing and witty undercover knight, is still very positive and charming.The plot of Mufeike is still well written, which is remarkable.And the most valuable thing about the original work is: it doesn't mess with the relationship.

In Yu Shanhai's "Tianlang Yushu Qiankun Xia", there is no official heroine from the beginning to the end, and the whole book is mainly about his ups and downs and struggles. In "Hanhai Dongjunlu", Dongjun was not even a leaf in the early stage. He only had a cousin since he was a child. In the later stage, his focus was not to fall in love with his cousin but to solve the case. In the end, he only confessed a few things when he got married. In "The Witch's Heart", Chi Danniang has a very important lover, but the lover died halfway, which catalyzed the plot of Mei Wangxue tearing up the 36 cave masters of the Demon Sect.

Tao Qingfeng felt that it was understandable for him to change Yu Shanhai and Mei Wangxue into childhood lovers.He thinks there is nothing wrong with adding a love scene to a web drama to make the audience happy.As for Yu Shanhai going undercover, Mei Wangxue came to assassinate, grafting the original works together, the general direction is also good.But it is the screenwriter's own original branch, which is too "vulgar".Let the characters have lower IQ, have no conscience, and even... cowardly.

Tao Qingfeng felt that although he himself was a powerless scholar, he couldn't bear to listen to the corner of his sweetheart being forced. Either he was furious because of love, or he ran away because of the collapse of righteousness. It would be better to stand and listen to the corner like a fool.

The ancient puppet screenwriter was stunned for a rare moment, and said, "So Qingfeng understands it this way...would it make people feel this way?"

It's also rare to have a screenwriter who just graduated, and he echoed in a low voice: "What Qingfeng said is not bad."

It seems that there is no unity of opinion among screenwriters.This is the second aspect that Tao Qingfeng came to inquire about.

Tao Qingfeng said: "I remember in the later period, after Yu Shanhai and Mei Wangxue reunited, Mei Wangxue pointed at his nose and scolded him for being stupid, cowardly, and weak... I have a second understanding: I thought that the plots in the early stage were to explain the shortcomings of the characters, and they grew up later, but I didn't see the corresponding plots."

Gu puppet screenwriter looked at several of her colleagues, and said in surprise: "Who wrote it later?" No one answered her, and she was embarrassed to explain to Tao Qingfeng: "Actually, we don't have a complete script yet. .After finishing writing separately, I handed it over to the director. I haven’t read it.”

Tao Qingfeng wanted to vomit blood.So it turned out that in the later script, another screenwriter used the mouth of the characters in the play to scold the characters written by the previous screenwriter as rubbish.But there are no corresponding rescue measures. In fact, Tao Qingfeng feels that the characters in the later stage are much more logical than the early stage. It turns out that someone realized the problem.It's a pity that the mistakes made in the past are hard to correct.

And maybe it was written by the new screenwriter who just graduated. She has no right to speak, and she has no right to change the front, so she can only protest in this way. The problem is not completely hopeless.

So Tao Qingfeng made up his mind, and threw out today's third reason for coming, which was also an article he was going to write after he understood the situation: "Actually, after I discussed with the chief director today, he asked me to come to you Yes. I think, write a new version of the plot."
