Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Ma Hua quickly brought over Li Wei's script, because Li Wei was only a guest actor, so his script only had the few pages where he appeared, and Li Wei was completely unclear about the overall plot.The reason for doing this is to protect the interests of the actors and crew, so that if the plot is leaked, some guest actors will be implicated innocently.Li Wei opened the script and looked at it, and his expression changed immediately.Li Wei asked Ma Hua, "Director Ma, isn't our "Princess Going Out of the Palace" a comedy theme? How could such a character be set up? Wouldn't it be too outrageous to play it like this?"

Ma Hua said with a smile: "The script is absolutely correct, you just act according to the requirements of the script. I still have something to do here, let's go first."

"What's wrong with you?" Su Li saw that Li Wei's face changed several times, and she also felt a little ominous.After she finished reading Li Wei's script, her complexion changed greatly, "Hey! What do you mean? It's aggrieved to let you play the role of eunuch, but you are still His Royal Highness's pampered pet! Isn't this scale too big? And if there are any problems with these lines, the gay community will definitely trouble us!"

There is no so-called censorship agency in China, but the wireless station still has an organization like the National Communications Management Committee to accept complaints. Although the cable station has a complaint channel, there are also organizations like the Parent-Teacher Association that will post books in the media, and even go to the media. Court sue.Therefore, the TV channels of China still have a self-discipline mechanism.Among them, gay subjects are relatively sensitive content. Generally speaking, wireless stations try not to involve them as much as possible, while cable stations dare to involve them, but the scale is also very conservative.

Although Huaxia State approved the "Civil Partnership Act" ten years ago, it is equivalent to acknowledging the partial legality of "same-sex marriage".However, like all Asian countries, China's discussion of the gay community in the public sphere is still conservative and cryptic.If it's an art film, the male actors don't mind being gay, on the contrary, it's one of the shortcuts to winning awards; but in a TV comedy?It is estimated that all male actors will refuse.Because TV directors do not have the tension that those great directors can control the plot, it is easy to overact this subject.And once he offends the gay community, or even is charged with "discrimination", then the actor is basically ruined.There should not be too many comrades and closets in the entertainment and fashion circles, who would dare to offend them?

"The question is, can I refuse Liu Wei?" Li Wei smiled wryly.

Although I don't know if Liu Wei asked him to film a scene because he deliberately punished him, but from the outside world's perception, Liu Weili treats newcomers and supports younger generations.If Li Wei refuses, then no matter what, the hat of "not knowing what is good or bad" must be put on his head.Although Li Wei can say that the plot is too controversial, the film and television industry will definitely refute it. The subject matter is something that the editor and director consider, and the duty of an actor is to perform well.And there is another thorny problem, what Li Wei sees is only a part of the script, what if this part is included in the whole script?

If the plot of Li Hong and Hehuan was presented separately in "Daming Palace Ci", it would be a royal scandal drama that satisfies everyone's private desire; but what if it is included in the entire TV series?The unethical love between Li Hong and He Huan satirizes the ruthlessness of the royal family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the criticism that the power completely tore up all the tender and tender family ties.To a certain extent, Li Wei still trusts Liu Wei.With Liu Wei's status and wealth today, there is no need to use such methods against him.

"So, I accept."

Li Wei has two doctorate titles, one in composition and the other in performance.Li Wei has been in the underground film circles of New York and Los Angeles, and has made some experimental short films; at the same time, he has also appeared on Broadway, although he is only a B-angle and can only perform in matinees.But these experiences gave Li Wei very important practical experience. In the film and television industry, experience is more important than education, and talent is more important than everything else.

Li Wei tried to figure out the character and emotional world of the servant named Jixiang in the script, and then approached the performance technique of Hehuan in "Daming Palace Ci" in Chen Wendi's mind.However, Li Wei eliminated Hehuan's performance techniques that were too stage-like, and at the same time eliminated Hehuan's overly feminine movements.As long as the mainstream film and television industry involves gay subjects, it will inevitably put gays and sissies together.In reality, not all gays are sissies, and sissies are not all gays.In particular, transvestites or transsexuals are not the same as gay men.But many screenwriters are unwilling to get a deeper understanding, so they will label comrades such as "sissy" and "transvestite", and then the comrades filmed will basically become funny characters.This is why the gay community is very disgusted by the film and television circles shooting gay-themed works, because the producers have stigmatized homosexuality.

"Do you think Li Wei will play this role? But many people declined." Ma Hua asked Liu Wei.

"First-line actors will refuse, but talented actors will not refuse." Liu Wei said, "If Li Wei is really that genius, then you should be able to find some clues from our script. Although there are few auspicious scenes, he is The key character of the prince’s sudden change of character. Although I cut a lot of auspicious scenes, the hints in the play are still enough. I buried this line very deeply. Only when someone shoots it, can this line be alive You know, Xiao Ma, I have been in the TV industry for 20 years, and now I have become famous. So, I have to shoot something I like, right?"

After Li Wei figured out the role of Ji Xiang, he found that Ji Xiang is not a simple character.The prince is the big villain in the play. He has been loved by thousands of people all his life, but in the end he decides to rebel against his father.In the play, the prince takes pleasure in teasing and squeezing his brothers and sisters.For example, the protagonist in the play, Princess Ruyi, is someone the prince dislikes very much.At first, the prince thought that the birth of Princess Ruyi had robbed his father of his favor, so he deliberately promoted one of the servants who cleaned the barrels in the lowest straight palace supervisor, and named him Jixiang.It can be said that the appearance of auspiciousness is to humiliate the protagonist Princess Ruyi.

The prince was not that kind to Jixiang at first, and he couldn't escape with a whip; but Jixiang believed that it was the prince who rescued him from the sea of ​​suffering, so he always regarded the prince as his real master.As Jixiang grows up, the prince's mouth waters for Jixiang's handsome appearance.So auspiciousness became the crown prince's taboo, and also became a thorn in the eyes of many people in the East Palace.Of course, in these parts, the plot is only a profile of Jixiang, so Li Wei does not need to perform the scenes of being whipped or raped.Most of the scenes are fragments, which are used to flash back on the screen when the prince recalls.Although they are fragments, these fragments are Li Wei's one-man show, which is a test of acting skills.

The only big drama is that the emperor sent someone to kill the prince. Everyone in the East Palace has betrayed their relatives, and only Jixiang is on duty outside the prince's bedroom.After the prince received the imperial decree of death from the emperor, he let Jixiang leave.But Jixiang said that even if the prince only had a thin coffin, he also asked to wrap him in a roll of rotten mat and put it next to the prince, so that he could go to the underworld to continue serving the prince.The prince was puzzled, saying that he had tortured and humiliated Ji Xiang so much, why did you still treat me like this?Jixiang said, although you tortured me and humiliated me, you gave me a second life.The important thing is that eunuchs in the harem die silently every day, but I have lived well until now. This is grace.Although this dialogue is sensational, it is also very extreme, because Li Wei must experience this line with a very slavish mind, otherwise it would be very strange to say it.

The first part was Li Wei's one-man show. This part belongs to the memory of the prince, so the scene is very simple, and all the performances are before a white screen.For actors, the simpler the scene, the more difficult it is to perform, because at this time, the actor has no way to use the space and props of the scene to express his heart, and everything must be done by his own expressions and body movements.And more importantly, what the director wants is an artistic life.For example, scenes where auspiciousness is flogged, raped, humiliated, etc. must be performed with poetic movements, but you can't go too far.Li Wei changed into auspicious clothes, tulle clothes, long messy hair... Because the clothes were too thin, Li Wei had to put on thong pants to cover the key points.Su Li was still worried, so she specially covered Li Wei's nipples with nipples.

Because this part is too complicated, Liu Wei specially found a dancer to dance it again.Li Wei could see that the dancers did use a very poetic performance to perform, but unfortunately it was too imagery. Unless they are people with a professional background in art, they can hardly see what needs to be expressed.And although the body language of the dancers is fine, they are not very satisfied with their facial expressions.After watching the dancers' movements, Li Wei performed in front of the camera.

Liu Wei and Ma Hua watched Li Wei's performance in front of the monitor. Since Ma Hua's work was mainly outreach, he didn't know much about performing arts, but this did not prevent Ma Hua from watching Li Wei's performance.Compared with the dancers just now, Li Wei's body movements are still graceful and full of poetry.Compared with dancers, Li Wei's performance is closer to life.Ma Hua can see Li Wei's pain when he was whipped, the humiliation when he was raped, and the trembling in life in the East Palace... However, this kind of emotion is naked|naked, but it is not too much.

Not only MCA, but all the staff at the scene were impressed by Li Wei's performance.Originally, Li Wei's costume was a little too sexy when she came out. Many staff members were afraid that Li Wei would make this performance full of sensuality. As a result, the rating of the TV series had to be raised a little bit.But Li Wei's performance made everyone not feel pornography and other things, but like a banished fairy dancing there.

"Okay! Pass! Prepare for the next performance!" Liu Wei was very satisfied with Li Wei's performance, so he let him pass directly.

After hearing the director's announcement, Su Li immediately wrapped Li Wei in a bathrobe, and then took Li Wei to the lounge next door to change clothes and makeup.Li Wei knew that the next thing to do was to shoot the scene where the prince bestowed his death. In this scene, there were many monologues and dialogues of his own, and besides the scenes with the prince, he also had his own one-man show.

It can be said that this scene is the biggest test for Li Wei.Because it’s nothing if you act well, but being able to blend in with everyone and let everyone shoot well is the real skill.Opponent plays need to look at each other's abilities. If you meet an opponent who can act, then this scene will spark amazing sparks.In the same way, if you meet an opponent who is completely out of tune with you, then the scene will be completely ruined.

Because he was not the opponent he chose, Li Wei didn't know how he would perform next.
