Chapter 280: Heaven and Don't Take It, but Suffer the Blame
Many big-name celebrities, after becoming famous, their business ability plummeted, which is nothing new, anyway, there are fans who are sought after, which does not affect their money.
So for everyone, celebrities are "not enterprising", which is not a big deal.
This is the norm in the entertainment industry.
It's also human nature.
If you can easily make money, who wants to choose to endure hardship?
In the corner of the crowd, a middle-aged man couldn't help but tug at a young man's sleeve and laughed in a low voice: "Xiao Meng, did you hear it...... He himself admits that his business ability is wasted, and it is no wonder that Director Zhang Huang finally chose you. ”
"He wasn't like that before. Meng Qingzhou sighed.
"People change. ”
The middle-aged man didn't care, "Maybe you'll be ...... in the future." Ahem, I mean, it's his own problem, and you can't blame it instead. ”
"After a while, Director Zhang Huang will definitely arrange for him to perform, he can't hold the scene with his crotch, so it's your turn to turn the tide. ”
The middle-aged man laughed so much that his eyes were almost invisible, "At that time, if he still wants to have a face, he should abdicate wisely and make way for Xian." ”
"All in all......"
The middle-aged man's palm was tightly clasped on Meng Qingzhou's shoulder, and he said solemnly: "Xiao Meng, the time and place are favorable, all on our side, what reason is there to back down?"
"Remember, if you don't take it, you will be to blame. ”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Xiao Meng, if you don't fight or grab, you can't get out." Besides, it's because he doesn't have the ability to keep it, so he can't blame us. ”
“...... Well. ”
Meng Qingzhou nodded slowly.
The middle-aged man smiled and opened his palm.
Unconsciously, sweat also oozed from his palms.
Expectation, nervousness.
At the same time, the performance of the Governor and Changshi is also coming to an end. The performance lasted nearly fifteen or sixteen minutes, without any lag or pause in the middle, and it was completed in one go.
The two of them gave a very wonderful performance.
The Governor vividly displayed the hypocrisy, cunning, and domineering of the bureaucracy.
As for Changshi, under the oppression of his superiors, he was very indignant and dared not speak out. For the governor, let him take the blame, of course, he resolutely refused.
But he has a weakness, and the governor dares to come and make him take the blame, so he naturally has a handle in his hand.
This weakness and handle is Zhang Bo......
The governor threatened his son, and Changshi was sad and tearful, and finally chose to give in.
In the last scene, the governor stood up triumphantly and strode out of the living room, completely forgetting the manners of three steps and one meal. And Changshi's whole person collapsed directly on the seat, and his spirit was exhausted, like an empty shell.
End of the show......
Zhang Huang glanced left and right, and gently clapped his palms.
"Good!"
Everyone woke up from a dream.
The applause, accompanied by warm applause, came and went. The Governor and Changshi also reunited, smiling and bowing, accepting everyone's respect.
While applauding, Zhou Mu also had a little understanding. These two people are either teachers of the film and television academy or the pillars of the repertory troupe.
With such superb and experienced acting skills, it is impossible to have no roots.
The so-called grassroots, most of them are spiritual, but if the acting skills have not been polished, they will definitely not be able to support a performance of more than ten minutes.
Zhang Huang turned his head and asked with a smile, "Old Shi, how is it?"
Shi Longyan was silent and did not speak.
However, next to him, there was also a person who spoke: "Director Zhang, I admit that their performances really make people feel immersive." ”
"But ......"
The turning point came, "This is a biopic of Chong Daogong, does this mean that the person who plays Chong Daogong, the quality of his performance determines the quality of the movie?"
“...... Be. ”
Zhang Huang had to nod.
The eyes of the others couldn't help but glance at Zhou Mu, and their eyes were more complicated. Some people are really worried, can Zhou Mu's acting skills support this movie?
Although judging from the script, this biopic belongs to a group drama. In essence, it is through the perspective of the protagonist Zhang Bo to show the social situation at that time. But no matter how brilliant the performance of others is, once the protagonist pulls his crotch, the movie will definitely collapse.
If it weren't for the fact that the movie hadn't officially started filming, everyone felt that the casting of the big director must have their own considerations, so they didn't object.
Otherwise, public opinion would have turned upside down.
In fact, the voice of doubt has not disappeared.
Many people list a bunch of young actors to compare with Zhou Mu, and then come to various conclusions, anyway, their acting skills are stronger than Zhou Mu......
This is a common means of touching porcelain.
But among them, there are also many who are sincerely good for the movie. These people are really afraid that because of Zhou Mu, they will ruin Yiwei's destined great work.
So now......
The time has come to test his character.
Everyone had different thoughts, and slowly quieted down.
The man lived up to expectations and said directly: "Since the protagonist is so important, let him perform a scene." More than others, we want to know what kind of image Chongdao Gong is in your eyes. ”
"Ahem. ”
Zhang Huang said indifferently: "Mr. Sun, don't worry...... If we want to create a classic, we will definitely not distort Zhang Chongdao's character image, and we will definitely follow history and restore his original appearance. ”
"I hope so. ”
The man was noncommittal.
In fact, the more scholars do it, the more clear they are about one thing.
The great figures in history, their thoughts, and their exploits are certainly great, but they themselves are not necessarily morally perfect.
The first half of Zhang Bo's life was a "bad record" existence.
This black history can't be washed away.
However, in the second half of his life, the prodigal son turned back, but it was a model.
So you don't need to wash it, it's white and glowing.
This kind of change before and after is undoubtedly the most legendary turn, and it has also become one of Zhang Bo's personalized labels.
It can be said that most of his charm and logo come from the great book "Floating Clouds". A small part is due to such a legend.
The combination of the two has made Zhang Bo a success. So everyone is not afraid, Zhang Huang dares to shoot indiscriminately, subverting and distorting his image.
Dare to mess around, wait for the official blockade, and all levels will boycott it.
"So...... Who's the main cast?"
The man looked around with a sense of scrutiny. Zhang Huang said directly: "Zhou Mu, go put on makeup." ”
"Teacher Zhou, come on. ”
"You're the ...... the most"
Hua Nai and Han Xiaoman waved their little hands.
While they were cheering, they were also very nervous.
Because they are also afraid, what if Zhou Mu needs the heroine to play when he performs, let them cooperate with the act?
They don't have experience with this kind of thing.
But you can't back down.
One retreat......
The position of the heroine must not have her own share.
Two little budding newcomers, trembling. They didn't expect that the audition was so terrible and needed to be in public......
No, they are not afraid to perform in public. But just now, the performance of the governor and the long history has raised everyone's expectations.
They are also self-aware, and they definitely can't do it to that extent. If you are too nervous and forget your lines, your performance is stuck, and you can't catch the play......
Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, the two of them were terrified and wanted to cry.
Zhou Mu is quite calm.
He stood up and was baptized by the gaze of the crowd.
When he entered the dressing room to do styling, Zhang Huang also began to introduce to the committee, "This young man is very talented, and in his later years at the back of the script, Zhang Bo's 'self-description' is his handwriting." ”
"Oh, it's him. ”
In an instant, many people suddenly realized.
At the same time, some people were curious, "I know, it was written by a young man, but I thought it was a rising star in the literary world, but I didn't expect it to be an actor." ”
"Not just actors, but big stars. ”
Zhang Huang smiled: "He is very popular, with tens of millions of fans. He plays the leading role, which can attract many people to the cinema and contribute to the box office. ”
"You're not right. ”
Someone frowned, very disgusted, "The most important thing about a movie is quality, as well as the artistic connotation it carries, don't mention the box office at every turn." ”
"Yes, the quality is high, and there is no worry about the box office. ”
Others agreed, he was knowledgeable, and asked questions, "That young man, Zhang Bo when he played a young man, I don't object to it...... But what about the elderly Zhang Bo? Does he come to play, or is it divided into two age stages, he only plays the young, and in his old age, he will change to someone else to play?"
"This ...... Makeup is OK. ”
Zhang Huang explained, "This biopic mainly shows his youth and middle age, and the elderly Zhang Bo probably only has more than ten minutes left of the plot. ”
"In fact, Zhang Bo, there is no so-called old age, after finishing the book, he ran out of energy, and when it was time to shoot him lying on the couch, looking back on his life, his memories were interspersed with ......"
Zhang Huang smiled: "This scene is not difficult. ”
Some people hurriedly turned over the script and agreed with Zhang Huang's way of handling it.
There were also those who were noncommittal, but did not immediately make comments. Seeing is believing, they are ready to watch Zhou Mu's performance before expressing their opinions.
"By the way, which one do you want to watch?"
Zhang Huang said: "The protagonist's role runs through the whole movie, and he needs to interact with people in many scenes. You determine the scene, and then I can arrange for someone to play for him. ”
Obediently, there were two more little quails in the crowd, and they couldn't wait to bury their faces in their chests.
Of course, there are also people who are eager to try, who are confident in themselves, and who hate to show themselves right away. So some people slowly moved to the front row.
The members of the committee also took the script and discussed it in a whisper.
Caught off guard, Shi Longyan said in a deep voice: "Don't be so troublesome, isn't there a paragraph in the script where he wakes up in a hangover, his hair is scattered, he wanders into a wreckage, and walks out of the house barefoot, let him play this paragraph." ”
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, is there such a paragraph?
Some people hurriedly turned over the script......
Of course, there are also people who are familiar with the script and immediately lock the content, "That paragraph seems to be the beginning of Zhang Bo's transition from adolescence to adolescence." ”
He and his friends feasted on the boat and spent the night drunk on the ship. After waking up, he wore a cloak and walked barefoot to the shore, just past the heroine......"
A person explained softly, "This is the moment of origin of the male protagonist and the female protagonist." ”
"To be honest, this plot is quite bloody. ”
Someone chuckled and said: "After all, it is because Zhang Bo is so bohemian and different that he has attracted the attention of the heroine." ”
"So the key to performance is to capture the bohemian verve?"
"No, no, no...... It's not that simple. ”
"It's worthy of Shi Lao, his vision is vicious enough, and he is tricky. Do you think he ordered this scene casually?"
A person was triumphant and analyzed slowly, "Putting aside Zhang Bo's infancy and adolescence, from the setting of the script, it is a memory kill at the end, and there may be vague images." ”
"So the beginning of the movie is actually this ......"
The man said seriously: "The public's impression of Zhang Bo also starts from this paragraph. This means that the appearance of the protagonist depends on this performance. ”
"I see. ”
Some people suddenly realized that they understood Shi Longyan's good intentions.
"The point is...... It's a one-man show. If it collapses, the scene ......"
Someone snorted, their expression a little complicated, I don't know whether to worry, or gloating, or both.
The others were silent, look.
The curtain was set, and naturally it was passed to the dressing room. The drama manager hurriedly found the costumes, and after Zhou Mu changed into them, he began to do the styling.
It's not a difficult look, but it's the little details that matter.
For example, blush on the face, folds in clothes, and messy hair......
It's a breeze for professional stylists and makeup artists. Ten minutes, get the costume, and then let the art director look at it.
The art director scrutinized.
The loose robe is not luxurious, but an ordinary scholar's shirt, draped on Zhou Mu's body, and his messy hair can't hide his melancholy temperament.
Personable, a good son of the turbid world.
Something seems to be missing.
The art director locked his eyebrows and tangled, and in a hurry, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.
It's urging outside, and I can't wait.
The art director put his heart on the side, so let's do it.
He wanted to wave his hand and let Zhou Mu leave quickly.
Caught off guard, Zhou Mu opened his mouth and said, "Zhuhua!"
"What?"
The art director was stunned for a moment, then woke up, patted his forehead, and turned around and shouted, "Quick, props, bring a beaded flower." ”
The props were stunned and didn't figure out the situation. It's good, what do you want Zhuhua to do.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and get it. The art director stared, and this guy knew at a glance that he hadn't seen "Floating in the Clouds".
In the first few chapters of the book, a detail is recorded.
The literati drank on the boat and liked to buy beads to hang on their bodies.
Because there are often flower boats passing by in the river, if you fall in love with a female dancer, you will throw the pearl flower to the other party, and invite her to the boat by the way, and drink and have fun together.
Such a custom was naturally transplanted into biopics.
Therefore, when Zhang Bo drank on the boat, he must wear a beaded flower on his body, so as to conform to the social style of the time.
The props were prepared early, but the time was tight, and I almost ignored the past.
Now make up for it......
The props were sent, and the art director groaned and hung the beads on Zhou Mu's waist, which looked chic, alternative and novel, and more in line with the image of the characters.
He walked around for a while before nodding in satisfaction and smiling, "That's it." ”
"Go ahead. ”
The art director said from the bottom of his heart: "I wish you all the best and a successful start." ”
