Chapter 17: A Biography of Characters
"Whew!"
Putting down the script, He Xin only felt panicked in his heart.
He didn't understand the emotions between men and men at all, even if same-sexual-sexual marriage was legal in many countries in later generations, but in his shallow cognition, this man should be with a woman, the same as a teapot with a tea lid. Messing around with people of the same sex is perverted and a form of psychosis.
However, when he finished reading the script, he was shocked, is there really such a sincere and touching emotion between men and women?
He couldn't help but think of one of his former classmates, who lived on the same street when he was a child, who was a child of a working-class family, and whose classmates were the children of cadre families; who were not good-looking, and whose classmates were likable since childhood; who were thin and frail and sickly, and whose classmates were healthy and tall; who graduated from junior high school as a scumbag, and whose classmates were top students all the way to high school and college.
He was short and poor, his classmates were rich and handsome, he could only go to the street factory, his classmates were civil servants, he begged a country wife, and his classmate's girlfriend was the daughter of the deputy county magistrate.
is such a long-looking elephant Liming, with a superior family background, gentle and elegant, with a decent job, a beautiful girlfriend with a deep background, and a natural winner in life, but ran away with a man before getting married.
This incident caused a sensation in their small county town at the beginning. He Xin couldn't believe it at first, but later learned that the classmate and the man were college classmates, and the two had been good for several years, but due to the social atmosphere at the time, the two had not dared to make it public, until the marriage between the classmate and the daughter of the deputy county magistrate could not be delayed, so they made an amazing move.
Later, I heard that my classmate had gone abroad with his boyfriend. From then on, until he died, he never heard anything from this classmate.
This is the only homosexuality that happened to him in real life in the more than forty years of his life experience in his previous life. He didn't understand it before, but now after reading the story of Handong and Lan Yu, he faintly realized that his classmate and his boyfriend should also be true love, and maybe they will always live happily together in the future.
After a burst of divergent thoughts, He Xin's heart finally calmed down. He began to ponder the character of Lan Yu, and the biggest difference between Lan Yu and his classmates was that Lan Yu came out to sell, met Enke Handong, and then fell in love with him. It's a bit like the story of the Qinglou woman and the merry scholar in ancient times.
When He Xin played Xiaogui, he substituted himself into the role, and the current Lan Yu is completely out of step with him. So he began to write a short biography.
When it comes to character biography, or the new skills he learned in the training class, he used to just think about it in his head, but now he understands what is going on. Speaking of which, he imagined Xiaogui as the original owner of his current body, in a sense, this is a character biography.
First of all, why did Lan Yu sell it? The script said that he was short of money and desperate.
He Xin imagined Lan Yu as a college student from a small town in the northeast, and the script only mentioned that he called his mother, it should be that his father died early, and his mother was the only one in the family, and his life was very difficult since he was a child. He came to Beijing to go to university, and usually worked as a tutor and part-time job to maintain his tuition and living expenses. It is conceivable that his mother was sick and needed money to see a doctor, and she had no way out, so she had to come out and sell.
It may be that the first feeling makes him feel amazing, or it may be that Handong's bold atmosphere makes him feel a sense of security; or maybe he lost his father since he was a child, and there has always been a kind of father-love plot in his subconscious, but he didn't know it, until Handong's appearance completely stimulated his feelings.
Hey, the more He Xin thought about it, the more it made sense, and he felt that he was slowly starting to walk into this character.
He can remember the exact day he was separated from Handong, and the joy of meeting again was heartfelt.
He saved up all the money that Handong gave him, on the one hand, probably because of saving, to prepare for studying in the United States in the future. But Lan Yu's real mind is probably that he doesn't want money to tarnish the relationship between him and Handong.
If that's the case, then he's really out to sell it......
A biography is like that, you have to figure out where the character comes from, what does he look like in life, what does he like, what is hidden, what does he want, who or what is preventing him from achieving the result?
At the same time, the background of the story must also be missing, you have to figure out what happened to the characters outside the script, so as to determine the basic outline of the characters, and analyze every key point in the development of the plot.
When analyzing the relationship between Lan Yu and Han Dong, even if he has imagined this relationship as the relationship between a man and a woman, it is still very difficult.
At this time, He Xin realized that he never seemed to have experienced a real relationship. Since adolescence, he has always been in a state of crush, secretly in love with a busty neighbor's sister-in-law, crushed on a beautiful female classmate, and crushed on the factory flower of a street factory...... Of course, I also have a crush on the amorous heartthrob on TV.
At that time, it was difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law in the city, and he was introduced to his later wife, a country woman with ordinary appearance and low education, who got married after seeing each other a few times. I can't talk about a serious relationship at all, I got married and had children, and after a long time, I naturally became a relative.
And now when he thinks of the topic of love, He Xin's mind subconsciously pops up with Cheng Hao's bright smiling face.
That's his goddess!
If Cheng Hao is Handong, will he fall in love with her like Lan Yu?
......
I quit my job in the cafeteria, and I didn't work for two months. Speaking of which, He Xin is really a little reluctant, although the salary is not high, but he does not worry about eating and drinking, he follows Zhang Qilin to buy vegetables every day, and he can still leave a few packs of good cigarettes every three or five times, and even save money on cigarettes.
When he comes back from filming, I'm afraid there will be no such good thing. Fortunately, the next job is very fat, but I can't get it back after working in the canteen for a few years.
Cheng Hao has joined the group, and is now filming interior scenes in Huairou, and it is said that he will travel to Suzhou, Hengdian and other places. Although she is the female number one, there are not too many scenes and fragments, basically filming for a while, and the time span is from the end of October to the Spring Festival next year.
It's just that before she joined the group, she never found a chance to go to Xidan Starbucks for a coffee, which made He Xin a little disappointed. But fortunately, the two exchanged contact information, and they can usually talk on the phone.
Located in Zhongguancun South Street, the Friendship Hotel is not far from the rental house, and today He Xin came to have a meeting, mainly to get to know each other and talk about ideas.
"Someone Likes Blue", oh, and now it has been changed to "Lan Yu", it is said that the director thinks the name Lan Yu is very good. Although the name was changed to Lan Yu, in fact, judging from the script, Han Dong's role is obviously higher than Lan Yu, if you really want to subdivide, then Hu Jun is the male number one, and He Xin is the second male lead.
In fact, "Lan Yu" has already started filming at this time, and is filming Handong's daily life. The script was not sent for review at all, the producer was Daniel Zhang's studio, and there was no qualification for shooting, a typical underground film, purely clandestine filming.
So there was no grand opening ceremony, press conference or anything like that, even the Hong Kong staff came to the capital in the name of shooting advertisements. Fortunately, there are not many places where the movie needs to shoot exterior scenes, and most of them are indoor scenes.
"Brother Jun!"
"Sister-in-law!"
"Sister Su Jin!"
There are three main characters, Handong, Lan Yu, and Handong's wife Lin Jingping. Lin Jingping's actor is Su Jin, a very familiar face, she and Lu Yi starred in "Never Look Away", which made them popular all over the country.
Su Jin is not particularly beautiful, but he is very tall and temperamental, and the whole person looks soft and tough.
Hu Jun is a big and tall man, and He Xin is standing with him, and he is still a little shorter by two or three centimeters. His voice was deep and manly. When we met for the first time, I was not as cold as He Xin imagined, on the contrary, I was very enthusiastic, I spoke very funny, and I was an easy person to get along with.
His wife Lu Fang is also there, and she makes a cameo appearance as Handong's sister Yonghong in the play. It can be seen that when filming a drama with this theme, anyone will have concerns, He Xin believes that the purpose of Lu Fang's cameo is probably to keep an eye on his husband, don't shoot and be abducted by a man.
It's funny to say, except for the three main characters in this play, there are few other characters with names and surnames. In addition to Lu Fang's cameo appearance as Handong's sister Yonghong, two producers, Daniel Zhang played Handong's brother-in-law Daning, Li Huatong played Handong's hair junior and subordinate Liu Zheng, and even played Gao Yuanyuan's new boyfriend Dahuan in "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", and Li Shuang, who was usually in the practice stall, was also pulled by Niu Le to make a cameo appearance in Handong's younger brother Weidong.
As for the two roles of Handong's mother and Handong's maid Niu Ma, it is estimated that it is because the crew really can't digest it, so they invited Zhao Minfen, the queen mother in "Huanzhu Gege", and Zhang Shaohua, the "ugly girl".
