This Emperor is Only An Actor

I have to say that Father Li's proposal really opened up a new way of thinking for Yue Guan.

Before, he was preconceived, and his thinking was always restricted.

Hou Liangping is really difficult to change, he is just a tool man, no matter how he changes, he is still a tool man.

His personality is destined not to be as plump as Jiang Yang's.

But Hou Liangping's personality is not easy to change, but his position is easy to change. To be precise, the scene is easy to delete.

Who stipulated that Hou Liangping must be the hero of In the Name of the People?

Later, after In the Name of the People became popular, the screenwriter personally said in an interview that if Wu Gang could play Secretary Dakang so well, he would write Li Dakang as the protagonist.

The screenwriter has no chance.

Yueguan still has it.

Compared with Hou Liangping, Li Dakang's character design is too plump.

A politically correct image of a bureaucrat with shortcomings but more obvious advantages can satisfy both the higher-ups and the audience.

Uncle Li, your suggestion really opened the door to a new world for me. Yue Guan said truthfully.

Hearing what Yue Guan said, Father Li was overjoyed.

Originally, he and his superiors were worried that Yueguan would be unhappy.

Literary and art workers don't like others to interfere with their creative freedom. Yueguan is already a very cooperative partner, so they don't want Yueguan to have negative antagonism towards them.

I didn't expect Yueguan to be so easy to talk to.

Father Li has a better impression of Yueguan.

Just in case, Father Li cautiously asked: Yueguan, aren't you talking ironically? We are very satisfied with your cooperation. If you really don't want to change it, it's still up to your opinion. After all, you are the expert in this area.”

No, I'm telling the truth. With my relationship with Sister Ruotong, Uncle Li and I are like a family. If we talk as a family, why do we play tricks? Yue Guan shook his head and said, A person's wisdom is always limited. , My thinking was imprisoned before, Uncle Li, your suggestion really made me find a new perspective. I have to say that the leader's vision is a bit strong.

Much better than the leaders who were in charge of these in the previous life.

In the previous life, In the Name of the People exploded and became a phenomenon-level ratings. Then, a TV series that should have been dominating the screen for many years like My Fair Princess and Bright Sword was abandoned by all TV stations tacitly. It has not been broadcast on the second round of TV stations, and can only be watched on video websites.

It is said that after the In the Name of the People became popular, I recalled that this drama is a bit high-end and dark. The protagonist Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai are not grounded. The righteous party seems to be all from the second generation, and nepotism a lot.

As for officials from grassroots peasants, Zhao Dehan and Qi Tongwei are all corrupt. Although this may be the case in reality, it is really ironic.

A group of officials and generations are upright and honest, and the son of a farmer who changed his destiny through hard study knelt down in front of reality.

It's so real.

So, it's too dark.

The leaders of this world can see this problem at a glance, and they have a level.

And it can also give effective suggestions, which is more advanced.

Compared with the national population, the vast majority of ordinary people are of course born, and the second generation is less than 5%.

So the audience will empathize with Qi Tongwei, even if Qi Tongwei's crime is unforgivable and deserves death, the audience just loves him.

Back then, Qi Tongwei ranked first among the three political and legal heroes of Handong University. He was also a passionate hero who defied life and death, and was an indomitable anti-drug hero.

Later reality taught him a truth: a hero is just a tool in front of power.

He is just a hero and has no powers.

Therefore, it is useless for him to make meritorious deeds.

So, he knelt before power.

And Hou Liangping and Chen Hai are also heroes, but they both have the protection of power from a higher level, they don't need to bow to power, they just need to be heroes.

Therefore, Hou Liang is plain and bright, and his character is not known to be higher than that of Qi Tongwei, but the audience just can't empathize.

Identity setting is really important.

He will decide who the audience substitutes for.

Yueguan just couldn't solve the problem of how to let the audience into Hou Liangping's perspective, so he rejected the role of Hou Liangping.

However, both Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang are particularly convenient for the audience to substitute and empathize with.

Especially Qi Tongwei.

For the role of Li Dakang, Mr. Wu Gang played it well, playing a role set at 80 points to 99 points.

The role of Qi Tongwei is really set well, and the lines are wonderfully written. The setting of this role is 90 points. If you find an excellent actor to play it, it is basically impossible to score less than 95 points.

As for Hou Liangping, the character setting is over 60 points.

Find a national first-class actor, and if you die, you will be able to perform to 80 points.

I really can't blame Lu Yi for his poor acting. If Lu Yi was too strong, he didn't act well, but it's really not particularly bad.

Yue Guan, since you agree with this suggestion, do you have any ideas? Father Li also got excited.

When they discussed internally, they actually liked Long Night Difficult to Understand, but they all knew that if it was actually filmed, In the Name of the People would definitely be more popular.

So they value the drama In the Name of the People more.

And Yueguan's opinion is very important to them.

Yue Guan thought for a while and gave his own opinion: As you said, weaken the role of Hou Liangping, leave the leading roles to Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei, and dig deeper into their stories. Not only the two of them, like The role of Gao Yuliang and Gao Xiaoqin can actually be explored deeply.

They are all very representative characters.

But Father Li still cares more about Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei.

The result of their internal discussion is that if this script is filmed, the most brilliant one should be Qi Tongwei, followed by Li Dakang.

There is really something about the level of leadership in this world. If Yueguan didn't know that Mr. Wu Gang was cheating, Secretary Dakang's personality would not be enough to support him to become popular.

The above judgment is theoretically correct.

Do you want to choose Qi Tongwei or Li Dakang as the protagonist? Yueguan, I personally recommend Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei's story line is very complete. A poor student changed his destiny through hard work, but because he was attracted by the daughter of a high-ranking political and legal official. They separated him from his girlfriend and assigned him, a promising college student, to a ravine in the name of testing love for Qi Tongwei. Later, Qi Tongwei killed the enemy and became a drug hero, but he was still suppressed. He broke up, so he resigned to his fate and got together with that daughter. As long as Qi Tongwei's personality is changed a little, he can become an inspirational image. Then arrange a noble person for Qi Tongwei, and a protagonist who conforms to mainstream values ​​will come to life up.

Li's father's views are also their own internal discussions.

However, Yue Guan thought about it, and still rejected the proposal: Uncle Li, if Qi Tongwei doesn't become black, he might not have the charm described in the script, and he might not be able to make the audience empathize. Let's choose two protagonists, one positive and one positive. On the contrary, Li Dakang is upright, and Qi Tongwei is on the opposite side. Through comparison, the real answer will be given to the audience.

Yue Guan himself is not very willing to whitewash the villains.

Because if you say a thousand things and ten thousand things, the villain is the villain, and he has done something unforgivable.

Is Qi Tongwei pitiful? Pitiful.

But does he deserve to die? Damn.

After he chooses to join forces, it means that he has merged into the darkness, and it is darker than those who were originally in the darkness.

Murder to silence, corruption, bribery... He has done what he should have done, so what else can he do?

Qi Tongwei is not a relative of his family.

And what Yue Guan said was from his heart.

Qi Tongwei was in such a difficult situation at the beginning, if you let the audience choose, there is a high probability that they will kneel.

Qi Tongwei knelt down and bowed his head to power. This choice is more in line with human nature and allows the audience to substitute.

If Qi Tongwei is really changed into the kind of person who looks at death with righteousness and dignity, the character of Qi Tongwei will lose a lot of charm, and may not be able to make the audience emotional.

One Jiang Yang is enough, there is no need to create another Qi Tongwei like Jiang Yang.

Father Li was persuaded by Yueguan.

What you said makes sense. The sense of substitution is a problem. Qi Tongwei did encounter a lot of injustice back then. It is difficult to ask him to straighten his spine as a young man.

The most important thing is that Qi Tongwei is the only one. He has no one to rely on. He can only rely on himself. A rural child who grew up eating a lot of food, and a child who even went to college is funded by the whole village. If he doesn’t stand out, he won’t accept it.” Yue Guan shook his head and said, “I don’t sympathize with Qi Tongwei, but I don’t despise him either. To be honest, Hou Liangping has no right to despise him. He has not experienced what Qi Tongwei has experienced, so it is enough to judge Qi Tongwei legally, from his own point of view, he may not be as strong as Qi Tongwei.

In the original In the Name of the People, the unfair experience Qi Tongwei suffered, in the eyes of Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai, was nothing more than a little willfulness of power. As a result, Qi Tongwei did not stand the test. Qi Tongwei was extremely contemptuous, and what he said was a calm and breezy one.

This dialogue also completely lost the audience relationship between the two.

The little willfulness of power, assigning a promising student union president who was so valuable at that time to a small valley, separated him from his girlfriend Lao Yan, and made him risk his life for meritorious deeds and awards became a joke.

In the eyes of Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai, this is just a little willfulness of power...

How about capricious Nima.

Don't blame the culprit, but despise Qi Tongwei for not withstanding the test.

Typical why not eat minced meat.

If the couple hadn't been full of this sense of superiority throughout the play, they wouldn't have aroused so much disgust from the audience.

As the old saying goes, you have no idea what I've been through.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked, and it is difficult to expect a group of second generations to understand the pressure a poor college student is under.

In many cases, the audience can't be blamed for being unfair. It's because for ordinary people, fairness has become an increasingly scarce luxury. Therefore, the audience is more willing to substitute villains who have experienced unfair things.

Qi Tongwei should be damned, because later on he became the kind of person I hated the most, and his hands were covered with other people's blood. But compared with Hou Liangping, it is indeed a failure. This is not the original intention of the higher-ups. Li's father road.

Yue Guan nodded.

In the Name of the People has actually been comparing Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei. Through their completely different life experiences, they hope to prove to the audience the concept that justice must prevail.

However, things backfired.

Because Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping are not comparable at all.

Qi Tongwei tried his best and risked his life, but in the end he couldn't even win the qualification to be with the woman he loved.

But Hou Liangping is on the rise, his wife has a prominent family background, and his own conditions are not bad, so he doesn't need to worry about suppression from other aspects at all.

A rural child, a wealthy son-in-law...

You let the audience compare the two of them fairly?

Sorry, the audience has steelyards in their hearts.

Viewers didn't think the two were comparable.

If you really want to compare, it is indeed more appropriate to compare Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei.

Hou Liangping can't, but Li Dakang can. They both come from ordinary families, and they all face many temptations and choices. Qi Tongwei succumbed, but Li Dakang didn't. Even in the face of his biggest backer, he insisted on his integrity. And justice. For the sake of political achievements, he will do whatever he can, and if there is no law prohibiting, he will be free. But as long as the law prohibits him, he will never do it. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He will condone his subordinates' corruption and accept bribes from his wife He turns a blind eye to things. But he himself is always clean, and when it is time to make a choice, he will always be innocent, even if he pays the price of his wife and children. His achievements in politics are always the most beautiful, and all It is achievable, which makes him invincible innately.

No matter in terms of being a man or an official, Li Dakang is better than Qi Tongwei. Compared with Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang is really ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. It's not a perfect character either, but it's flesh and blood because of it. Uncle Li, give me a few days, and I will write a new script.

How do you write it specifically? Father Li asked.

Let's have a two-line narrative, one positive and the other negative, and describe all the things Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei have experienced and the choices they made. Different choices make them pay different prices. Those who betray the people will eventually be abandoned by the people. Choose The people, the people will never forget him.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei still had to die, and it was impossible for him to win the sky.

Therefore, Secretary Dakang's GDP is still guarded, and he will never forget it, and there will be echoes.

Cut off most of Hou Liangping's role and use it to plump the story line of Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei. Yue Guan didn't even know that The Destiny of the People would lose first?

Father Li asked the last question: Yueguan, do you want to play Qi Tongwei yourself?

Li Dakang didn't ask directly, the age gap is too big.

But Qi Tongwei's words can still be manipulated with a little make-up, and in Yueguan's script, the things that Qi Tongwei experienced when he was young will be highlighted, so it is not suitable to find an actor who is too old.

Yue Guan thought of the difference between Jiang Yang and Qi Tongwei.

He had never played a purely good guy before, nor had he played a truly bad guy.

If Jiang Yang and Qi Tongwei pick it up together, it will be a whole new challenge.
