Chapter 170: "Magic Mobile" Character Strategy
The plot synopsis of the Shanhe version of "Magic Mobile" is like this-
In 2300 AD, with the continuous development of science and technology, mobile phones have advanced functions such as changing into human form, light energy charging, time and space travel, remote control, self-defense, and recombinant genes.
On this day, on the basis of time and space travel, researchers added the function of traveling through multi-dimensional space, for which they made a mobile phone called Silly Niu to conduct a travel test.
As a result, an accident occurred on the way through time and space, and the silly girl in live-action mode came to the Tang Dynasty where Journey to the West was located, during which she fought with Sun Wukong and King Huangmei respectively.
After the war, because the silly girl consumed a lot of energy and needed to be replenished, the future scientific and technological personnel urgently recalled the silly girl to 2300 years, but they didn't expect that the king of Huangmei also pulled the human seed bag in the hands of the silly girl and refused to let go.
Silly Niu entered the time tunnel with Huang Mei, during which Silly Niu suddenly ran out of energy, entered the modern society in 2020, and accidentally fell into Lu Xiaoqian's backpack, who had just graduated from college and was looking for a job............
Looking at the plot synopsis alone, "Magic Mobile" brings together science fiction, mythology, urban love, action and many other themes, and even some spy war and environmental protection plots.
A hodgepodge!
According to the general probability, such a "brain-opening" TV series is a big bad movie with money nine times out of ten.
But "Magic Mobile" is different, whether it is the original version or the now revised version of mountains and rivers, the script has been carefully combed.
Although the subject matter is complex and the brain hole is big, the main line is not chaotic and has a rigorous plot logic.
does not consider reality, and only extrapolates backwards from the setting in the play, and there is almost no low-intelligence or unreasonable basis.
At the same time, elements such as the future mobile phone, traveling through time and space, Wukong Bajie to modern times, and local superheroes (trapeze) in the play really attract the audience's attention.
Pick any one of them, and you will have the desire to watch it............
The script is reasonable, with excellent actors and excellent special effects, Zuo Leyou carefully created "Magic Mobile" better than the original.
After smoothing the script with the screenwriters, Zuo Le began to consider the casting of "Magic Mobile".
The male protagonist Lu Xiaoqian, this has long been decided, played by Mao Xiao.
With Mao Xiao's image and acting skills, whether it is Lu Xiaoqian, a young college graduate in the early stage, or a flying man who grew up through hardships in the later stage, Zuo Le believes that he can control it.
The heroine is a silly girl, this role Zuo Le has considered many people, and finally feels that Shui Miaomiao is more suitable.
Although the acting skills of the seventy girl may be worse than that of an actor from a professional class, her appearance is resistant.
"Seven Swords" Jade Toad Palace Lanxin Palace Master is the white moonlight in the hearts of many men, as long as the entertainment industry lists ancient costumes or martial arts beauties, Shui Miaomiao will inevitably be on the list.
Such a big beauty, wearing a tight-fitting leather coat, looks well-behaved, obedient and sensible, and speaks sweetly Brother Xiaoqian, I am afraid that she can envy a lot of men to death.
Zuo Le considered it from a male point of view, and felt that it was very suitable for the girl from Qishui to play a silly girl, in addition to him, almost all the male screenwriters in the screenwriting department also supported Shui Miaomiao to play a silly girl.
However, Shui Miaomiao plays a stupid girl, and there is a small flaw, that is, this girl is slightly taller than Mao Xiao, and the stupid girl is taller, and then Brother Lu Xiaoqian is a little incongruous.
Fortunately, Shui Miaomiao is thin, only a little taller than Mao Xiao, and it is quite coordinated to stand with Mao Xiao, plus the lens makes up for it, it is not a big problem.
If Shui Miaomiao was fatter, Zuo Le would not let her play a stupid girl if she said anything.
The heroine's silly girl Shui Miao came, and the second female Chu Chu handed it over to Mao Xiao's old partner Zhang Jiajia.
The role of Chu Chu should be regarded as a semi-heroine in the play, and the silly girl is destined to be unable to be with Lu Xiaoqian, so Chu Chu is the most suitable realistic choice for Lu Xiaoqian.
Of course, in order to show the unforgettable love between Silly Niu and Lu Xiaoqian, Chu Chu went to the mountains to teach, and after Silly Niu died, she did not come back.
Three people die, leave, and be lonely, which can be regarded as a bad fate.
In fact, from the plot setting of "Magic Mobile", the role of Chu Chu is very pleasing.
Three views are positive, the personality is bold and generous, kind and righteous, and there is a foodie attribute.
If it weren't for the stupid heroine's aura being too buggy, the original "Qianchu Party" might not have been suppressed so badly.
This time, Zuo Le found Zhang Jiajia to play Chu Chu, before Zhang Jiajia and Mao Xiao formed CP many times in the "The Story of the Cooking Class" series and "Wulin Gaiden", which was almost an official match in the eyes of the audience.
With this premise, Chu Chu is estimated to be so miserable compared to the stupid girl, and it will set off a CP war to add some topicality to the TV series.
The current Zuo Le and Shanhe are not like when "Seven Swords" was broadcast, they have no similar experience, and they see fans fighting for their roles, for fear of affecting the ratings and actors.
Now that I have experienced more, I also know that the noisier the audience is, the more popular the TV series will be.
Therefore, although Shanhe will not take the initiative to hype up cp, the audience sees the plot and associates themselves, and Zuo Le is still happy to see it.
The three women who have feelings with the male protagonist Lu Xiaoqian in the play, Silly Girl, Chu Chu and Hua Mei.
Among them, Huamei can be said to be the most unpleasant one, she is simply the spokesperson of the green tea in the early stage, and she is barely whitewashed in the middle and late stages, but she is still not very liked by the audience.
When Zuo Le player was watching the original version, many barrages and comments expressed dissatisfaction with the ending of Huamei and You Suowei together.
The actor of this role, Zuo Le was not early in the mountains and rivers.
After all, there are only a few female artists in the company, Qishui and Zhang Jiajia already have roles, Yin Li has to shoot "Don't Talk to Strangers", Yan Ni is the queen, the coffee position is there, it is impossible to play a female third, it is still very unpleasant.
Therefore, Zuo Le, the role of Huamei, is going to use an actress from outside, and preliminarily set two well-known female artists, and the feedback from the other party is good.
Wait for Zuo Le to take time to give them an audition, and leave them with good performance.........
In addition to these three who have emotional ties with the male protagonist, there are also several female characters with more scenes, Sun Feiyan and He Lan, who are in love with Bajie, and Lu's mother.
Sun Feiyan's actor Zuo Le was also found from outside, and auditioned with Huamei actor at that time, and the role of He Lan, Zuo Le was ready to hand over to Tian Yan's best friend Wan Qian.
The boss of the advertising company, a light mature woman with a strong aura, when Zuo Le watched the original version, the first actor who came to mind was Wan Qian.
As for Lu's mother, Zuo Le found Zhang Yan, the host of Dongshan Channel, who played the fat aunt in "Family with Children", and her image age is in line with Lu's mother's setting.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the actor who plays Lu's father is also Zuo Le's old acquaintance - the shopkeeper Sun of "Underground Transportation Station".
Lu's father has two scenes in the play that test his acting skills very much, especially the part where he shuttles through time and space and Lu's mother makes a phone call, which is touching and heartfelt, and he really can't take it if his acting skills are not enough.
That's why Zuo Le invited Mr. Bao Xiaoyong, who has superb acting skills, to come over.
............
In addition to Lu's father, the other supporting actors in "Magic Mobile" are also good actors carefully selected by Zuo Le.
Zhu Bajie, Zuo Le was originally set to be Jiang Chao, but Jiang Chao took over a scene behind "The Story of a College Student", and the schedule collided, Zuo Le was helpless, so he found Hong Tao.
Compared with the original version, Hong Tao is a little thinner, so after Zuo Lecong intentionally set Hong Tao, he called him and asked to gain weight.
At present, the effect is not bad, not long ago, when Zuo Le saw Hong Tao in the old white shabu meat shop and the crew of "Go Boy", he found that his figure was much fatter than before.
When it comes to starting, it can almost meet Zuo Le's requirements for Zhu Bajie's figure.
Bull Demon King/Mr. Fan, it is Zhou Binbin, although these two characters are villains, they are somewhat stained with comedy, which is suitable for Da Zhou's funny skills.
In addition, the last time I filmed "Seven Swords", Hong Tao and Da Zhou played Zhu Wujie and Niu Whirlwind.
This time, he played Zhu Bajie and the Bull Demon King respectively, which can be regarded as an upgraded version of the role, rising from martial arts to mythology.
After talking about Bajie, I have to talk about Monkey King, this role is not something that ordinary people can play well.
Zuo Le even moved the idea of inviting the sixth teacher out of the mountain, but then I thought about it, "Magic Mobile" let Sun Wukong pass through, and he also played all kinds of stalks, which was simply "made up".
At that time, Teacher Six was angry, and it would be embarrassing to let the crew apologize.........
Teacher Six can't be invited, so retreat to the next best thing and invite Teacher Six's stand-in.
Ding Jian, who once served as the stand-in for the sixth teacher in the sequel to "Journey to the West", and even in the real and false Monkey King clip in the play, Ding Jian directly played the fake Wukong (six-eared macaque) and the real Wukong.
No one noticed that something was wrong, and thought that the two Wukongs were both played by Teacher Six, and then supplemented by computer special effects synthesis.
In terms of playing the Monkey King alone, Ding Jian is definitely at the top level in China, even the sixth teacher, and he is only one line higher than him.
What's more, Ding Jian is cheaper than Teacher Liu, and he has a good reputation, and his resume in the sequel to "Journey to the West" can also convince a large number of big fans.
Even the sixth teacher himself has to admit Ding Jian's level, otherwise the stand-in will not be able to go.
After the monkey, cow, and pig, there is another mythical character in the play who is the King of Yellow Eyebrows.
This character is definitely the highlight of "Magic Mobile", especially in the early stage, when Huang Mei first arrived in modern society, he was beaten by various modern technologies.
From the king of Huangmei, who has 500 children under his command, to Ah Huang, who steals and eats other people's chicken bones, he contracted most of the jokes in the early stage of "Magic Mobile".
Poor batch!
This role, Zuo Le didn't think about it at all, and immediately thought of his second uncle Yan Changying.
It's not easy to find a suitable and brilliant role for the second uncle, after the last Captain Jia, I waited for several years to find a yellow eyebrow king.
It's not Zuo Le, just like the second uncle, dyeing a yellow hair, pinching a nose, pulling an ear, lifting a mace to that station, and getting rid of a weasel spirit alive.
When it comes to Huang Mei, you can't help but talk about what You did, this character is the second male in "Magic Mobile".
He was a good guy in the early stage, blackened in the middle stage, and then jumped back to a decent formation, and in the later stage, he also played a spy war undercover with the villain Bull Demon King.
The meaning of its name is explained in the play as a gentleman who does something and does not do something.
But in Zuo Le's opinion, this guy is a bit of a rich man can really do whatever he wants, and all kinds of money in the play really show what it means to be inhumane, and the most terrible thing is that this character is a rich man, not to mention, but also very handsome.
Zuo Le, who has a full sense of substitution, almost played this role himself, but was finally stopped by the screenwriters who were afraid that the script would be ruined.
They feel that Gu Xiaoge's appearance is more qualified for this role.
However, after Gu Xiaoge finished filming "Breaking through the Guandong", he signed a fantasy drama, the crew has as many as 80 episodes, and he is the first male lead, which is enough to squeeze out the schedule.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoge passed, and the screenwriters enabled the backup plan again.
Taiwan Province artist, Jiao Jun.
This Jiao Jun is amazing, his appearance is off the charts, and he became popular two years ago because he played Li Xunhuan in the martial arts drama "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and his nickname is Li Tanhua, who is alive.
and together with Gu Xiaoge and two other top handsome guys in the circle, they are known as the four beautiful men in domestic costumes.
Appearance and Gu Xiaoge stand side by side, Jiao Jun's acting skills are also very good, before the mainland became popular, when Jiao was in Taiwan Province, he was famous as a villain, and he slowly turned to a decent male protagonist in the later stage.
But so far, in addition to Li Xunhuan and a few positive roles, Jiao Jun's fans still play the villain role he plays.
The most common slogan said by its fans is that sentence - as long as the villain looks good, the three views follow the facial features.
Jiao Jun's rich career as a villain has made great strides in his acting skills, the four beautiful men in ancient costumes are not sealed by their appearance alone, those who can be on the list are all handsome and have good acting skills, even if their acting skills are average, they must have outstanding temperament.
What's more, although Jiao Jun is from Taiwan Province, he does not have a Taiwan Provincial accent, and his Mandarin is very standard, not weaker than ordinary professional actors.
This is rare, many Taiwanese actors speak with Taiwanese accents, and it is very awkward to pronounce their lines.
Maybe other directors can make up for it with dubbing, but when Zuo Le is filming, the actors have always recorded the original sound at the same time, and it is rare that they will be dubbed in later stage under special circumstances.
In the case of non-foreign languages and dialects, actors whose lines are not up to par are dead in Zuo Le.
Not only Zuo Le, many big directors and strict directors have this attitude, especially film directors, even if they dub in the later stage, they also require the actors to dub themselves, rarely invite voice actors, and when filming, they must read the lines and lip-sync.
If you read 1234 to fool them, you will be grumpy and let you go.
In the Chinese film and television industry, some big directors even have to give up three points even to investors, and the fresh meat flower is awesome in front of ordinary directors, and in front of the big director, they dare not speak up when they are pointed at their noses and scolded.
Zuo Le is basically among the ranks of directors of this level now, and he usually jokes about nothing, but when he is filming seriously, even if Li Youbin and Wang Yan are the emperors, they have to be obedient.
Jiao Jun's Mandarin skills are really a very good plus in Zuo Le, but because he has never cooperated, Zuo Le means to let Jiao Jun try out.
This is also Zuo Le's casting habits, the actors he has worked with, he knows the level of acting skills, just arrange the roles directly, most of the actors who have not cooperated, he has to try out and investigate.
After the game was decided, there were few remaining main characters in "Magic Mobile".
Wang Tianba, Xiao Wu, plus a Dongzi.
The role of Xiao Wu, Zuo Le, is already ready to be given to Shen Teng, Dongzi can let Guo Jinfei play it, and there is only one Lei Jiayin left, and he will make a cameo appearance as a fellow villager of Mr. Fan.
There is also a police role in the play, which can allow Fan Min or Jiang Chao to make a cameo appearance, and engage in a parallel time and space linkage with "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
As for Wang Tianba, a philosopher in the thief world, Zuo Le plans to go into battle in person, since he can't play the handsome and rich boss You, then he will become an ideological "giant.........
............
In the next few days, Zuo Le struck while the iron was hot and contacted the auditions of Jiao Jun and Huamei Sun Feiyan, the audition was over, Jiao Jun was successfully selected, the two female roles were also in place, and the casting of "Magic Mobile" was roughly over.
Zuo Le put aside the work at hand for the time being, and put his energy into promoting "Breaking through the Guandong".
As May passes day by day, the day of the premiere of "Breaking through the East of the Border" is approaching.
