Chapter 520: A Work of Transformation
Someone on Zhihu asked: He Xin is an actor and a movie café, and he still wants to make a TV series for Mao?
There are essential differences between movies and TV series, with different shooting methods, different requirements for performances, and different platforms for watching performances......
In other words, movies are more artistic, while TV series are more like a product.
This is how the chain of contempt for movie cafes in the actor group is always one level higher than that of TV drama cafes.
For example, like Ge You and Jiang Wen, including the current Four Little Flowers, after acting in movies, they are basically insulated from TV.
Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo guard the monopoly position of TV dramas, and occasionally make cameo appearances in movies or something. Of course, they belong to the kind of people who have achieved fame, and whether they make movies or not will not damage their status in the circle.
The reason why they are still guarding the TV series, on the one hand, may be that the film resources are really limited, although they have a lot of works, they have never been truly recognized by the box office in history, unlike Ge You and Jiang Wen, who can carry a movie on their own.
And when it comes to their kind of coffee position, it is expensive and difficult, and many directors are reluctant to look for them, for fear that they will not be able to suppress it; at the same time, they themselves may prefer to hide in their comfort zone, make a lot of money, and be more well-known to the audience, which can be described as fame and fortune, why not do it!
After all, when an actor is acting in a TV series, the director will not interfere too much with his performance, as long as the plot can be smoothed, there will be no problem with exaggeration or weirdness or even templating.
But movies are different, movies have more demanding and detailed requirements for actors' performances, and compared with TV series, the leading role of the movie is very clear, that is, the director, and the director will do his best to ask for what he wants to express in the end.
The so-called film and television amphibious is probably used for some idols, or jack-of-all-trades actors. For example, in later generations, such as Big Baby, Big Mi Mi, a certain foodie Fat Di, and all kinds of small flowers, small fresh meat, etc., a kind of patterned performance will dominate the world, or they themselves sell not acting skills, but faces.
Real movie coffee often makes people feel very embarrassed to act in TV series, such as Tang Wei's "Daming Fenghua" and Zhang Zhen's "Chenxi Yuan" was once ridiculed by the audience.
Is their acting skills not good? No kidding, they are all proven actors on the big screen. Needless to say, even Tang Wei, the big-bellied woman with figure-eight feet in "North West", may not be able to catch up with 80% of actresses just in terms of physical details.
Similarly, TV movies are either vases or supporting roles, which are barely passable, and it is rare to really carry a work on the big screen.
The reason is that the performance methods are different, and the performance that is accustomed to one way is different in different shooting environments and viewing platforms.
Getting back to the point, when it comes to why He Xin still acts in TV series, it is certain that he wants to make money, and then it is probably for feelings and enjoyment.
Yu Zecheng is a character he likes very much, and the TV series can make him open and close and show his desire to perform.
He is not a difficult actor, in the past, whether he cooperated with a big director or a small director, he respected the director very much, even if he had different views, he always discussed and tried to reach a consensus with the director. As for the current popular word change among the big-name actors, the so-called "secondary creation", he rarely does this.
He always believes that no matter how awesome an actor is, he can't compare to a third-rate screenwriter, and the director has more say in the control of the picture. You can't just focus on highlighting yourself and make the whole picture unbalanced, or stay out of the plot all the time, right?
Among all the directors he has worked with, the one he wants to work with most is actually Lou Ye, because in Lou Ye's films, he can get a great degree of freedom in acting, and you can create as much as you want.
Lou Ye will never prohibit the actor's self-play, as long as you can act, there is no problem in continuing to act, of course, in the end, he only intercepted a small part of what he approved, most of which were useless. But this is an extremely enjoyable thing for actors.
It's a pity that there is only one Lou Ye, and if you want to enjoy it again, you can only go to the TV series to find this feeling.
He Xin, who is the best newcomer in Berlin, the little actor in Venice, and the double gold actor, has online acting skills, good audience popularity, and there has never been a shortage of scripts, and since "Stone" became a big hit, there have been many movies looking for him.
For example, the film "Heaven's Mouth", which also created the concept of cross-strait and three places, was invested by Huayi Brothers in the mainland, Yindu Institution in Hong Kong and Central International in Wanwan. The invited actors are all big names in the three places, such as Wu Nianzu in Hong Kong, Zhang Zhen in Wanwan, and Shu Qi, Li Xiaolu, and Yang Youning of Wanwan Xiaoxian Meat joined, telling the story of the three brothers on the beach. On the mainland, He Xin was originally the best choice.
And although the director of this film is not famous, the producer is the famous Wu Yusen.
Originally, He Xin was quite interested, after all, it was a big-budget commercial film. But as soon as you get the script, what is it? It's a bit like a combination of "The True Color of Heroes" and "Shanghai Tang", and it's like the mainland version of "Bloodshed", no matter how you look at it, it's nondescript, and even the script structure is very problematic.
He Xin is no longer a rookie now, a film like this that has not even done a good job in the script, no matter how many big names are piled up, there is a high probability that it will be a bad movie.
So he naturally thanked Bumin. To his extent, sometimes he is bound to cherish feathers, especially with his own company, he doesn't want to inexplicably consume the audience he has accumulated with great difficulty.
However, in the end, it was cheaper for Sister Hong's Liu Li, who is currently developing very well.
As for the investors, can't they see it?
is still the same sentence, superstitious directors and stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Back then, Wu Yusen was able to shoot the classic "True Colors of Heroes" and "Bloody Heroes" with flying paper boys. Although it is not directed by Director Wu himself, it is directed by his students and supervised by him, and investors are very relieved.
History is always an amazing acquaintance, just like those investors in later generations who are also superstitious about the so-called traffic, big IP, and small fresh meat, but ignore the most fundamental things of movies.
...... Wonderful Pen Court
"Teacher Feng, you have worked hard!"
The stationmaster, Mr. Feng Enhe, an actor from Bayi Factory, has long acted in films such as "Southern Expedition and Northern War" and "Liberation of Shijiazhuang" that He Xin's generation is familiar with. In the 80s, he studied at Nortel at the age of nearly 40, and his relationship with Jiang Wei came from this, when Jiang Wei was a graduate student at Nortel. Therefore, Jiang Wei specially invited Mr. Feng to play the role of the treacherous and cunning stationmaster this time.
"Xiaohe, you're young, amazing!"
Mr. Feng is also a small cadre in Bayi Factory, and his tone of voice always has a little bit of a taste of the system. This is more in line with the stationmaster's personality.
"Teacher Wu Gang, it's a good meeting!
Secretary Dakang, who has long legs and European-style double eyelids, is an old acquaintance with He Xin, especially today Cheng Hao is also here, Wu Gang happily shook hands with the two and greeted: "Haha, Xiao He, Xiao Cheng, when will you eat the candy of the two of you?"
"It's coming, it's coming. He Xin could only laugh.
Cheng Hao, who was beside him, was completely enthusiastic when he saw his old colleagues, and pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't forget you when the time comes!"
"Yo, Teacher Zu Feng!"
is also an acquaintance, Mr. Tianchi's little boyfriend, graduated from Nortel's 96 star class, and Chen Kun, Brother Xiaoming, and Zhao Yanzi are all classmates, and he is currently a substitute teacher at Nortel.
"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!"
Teacher Zu Feng is introverted and shy, and he usually doesn't talk much, but he and Teacher Tianchi get together as a couple, which is somewhat a bit of a female protagonist and a male protagonist.
"You are a teacher, and even if you are at Teacher Tianchi, I have to call you a teacher. ”
"Uh, this is Mr. Cao, right?"
"Yo, Teacher He, I really don't dare to be!" Cao Bingkun said with a mouth open, showing two big teeth.
Jiang Wei smiled on the side: "Xiaohe, like you, he just graduated last year. ”
"Really?"
He Xin looked at the face that looked more anxious than himself, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Cao Bingkun hurriedly followed: "Teacher He, I'm 83 years old." ”
is actually three years younger than himself, and it seems that he is really unseemly.
He Xin suddenly felt that his mentality was very balanced, and shook hands with him with a smile and said, "That's called brother, oh, I'm 80 years old." ”
"Hey, brother!"
Today is the first time that the main creators of the "Latent" crew met before the start, and the location was set up in the conference room of Xinhao Media. In addition to the above, there are also Cheng Hao, Tong Yali and Li Mengnan.
Well, Brother Meng Nan's fiancée, Wang Qin, is from the 97th class of Nortel's performance department, and she is also a student of Jiang Wei, this time by chance, Jiang Wei asked her to play the role of Xu Baofeng.
As for the female No. 1 Song Jia, she is still filming "Breaking through the Guandong" in the ice and snow in the Northeast, and she will not be able to join the group until the end of December.
"Xiaohe, say a few words!"
Everyone introduced them one by one, and after getting to know each other and greeting each other, Jiang Wei looked at He Xin and said with a smile.
It stands to reason that he is the investor, the producer, and the real boss of the crew.
However, his posture was very low, and when he heard it, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't, Mr. Jiang, you are the director, I am an actor, anyway, after our crew is established, you are the boss, and we will all listen to your command." If there is any task, you can just assign it. ”
The reason why He Xin put on this posture is mainly to establish Jiang Wei's authority in the crew. Jiang Wei was originally the screenwriter and director of the original version, and when he handed over "Latent" to him, he was a hundred assured, and the only thing to do was to shape Yu Zecheng's angle.
In the original time and space, Yu Zecheng's role was the transformation of King Yan, and now it is not his transformation work to get rid of the label of "Brother Qiang"?
In these years, ordinary audiences are more willing to accept the image of the actor on the small screen, rather than the role on the big screen.
