It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, after Mu Qing was entangled with the script for a long time, he still got through to the screenwriter of "City Lights of Psychological Crime".

"Hello, Director Xu, I am Mu Qing, the actor of Jiang Ya. After Mu Qing answered the phone, he spoke simply and clearly.

This director Xu is naturally the director of "City Lights of Psychological Crime", and he is also the screenwriter of this drama.

"Oh, it's Mu Qing, I'm Xu Jizhou, do you have something?"

Xu Jizhou was also quite surprised to receive a call from Mu Qing suddenly, you know, because of the illusionary world, he has not had any contact with this actor, of course, there is also a bit of Xu Jizhou's dissatisfaction, so he has not been in touch much.

I originally planned to make further contact when I was studying the script, but I didn't expect Mu Qing to suddenly call at this time.

"The director is like this, I don't understand something about the role of Jiang Ya, so do you have time now? I want to talk to you. ”

Mu Qing adjusted his sitting posture and said very seriously.

"Well, you say, I'm idle here. Xu Jizhou, who was on the other side of the phone, got up, walked to the study with the phone, and sat down at the desk.

It's Saturday, so the kids are all at home, and it's a bit noisy to sit in the living room.

Mu Qing heard Xu Jizhou's reply, and his heart was also relieved.

"That's bothering Xu Dao. Mu Qing first said politely, and then went straight to the point.

According to his own understanding, Mu Qing first told Xu Jizhou what he understood Jiang Ya, and then combined with the script to go through the behavior pattern of this character, and briefly told Xu Jizhou, the screenwriter and director, about the doubts in his heart.

Mu Qing felt that if he didn't figure out the doubts in his heart at this time, then his control of Jiang Ya's role would definitely be problematic in the future, at least, he couldn't convince himself to accept the development of the plot of the script, and in this way, an actor would not believe that the character he played was real, and the effect presented would inevitably be false.

Therefore, Mu Qing tried his best to mention all his doubts and troubles.

And over there, Xu Jizhou also listened to Mu Qing's narration very carefully.

It wasn't until Mu Qing finished elaborating that Xu Jizhou reacted.

"I know where you're stuck. Xu Jizhou's voice came out of the mobile phone, and Mu Qing listened carefully,

Xu Jizhou opened his mouth and asked, "You are a fan of the original work, right?"

This sudden change of topic made Mu Qing a little puzzled, but he still nodded according to the truth.

And Xu Jizhou, who was on the other side of the phone, laughed out loud when he heard Mu Qing's reply.

"If you are a fan of the original book, then it is not reasonable for you to have such a misunderstanding in the process of understanding, after all, Jiang Ya is not a complete bad guy in the original book, or in a way, he is just a poor person who was blinded by Wei Wei. ”

"So, when you take the script to understand the character, you will subconsciously look at the character from the perspective of a good person, so that what he does, you will probably analyze it from the perspective of a "hero", at least, in the early stage, you should have this idea, right?"

Mu Qing took the mobile phone and nodded subconsciously.

"Then according to what you mean, when I came to understand this character, I already had the wrong starting point?"

Although Mu Qing has to admit that Director Xu Jizhou has a certain amount of truth in saying this, he doesn't think that his understanding is completely wrong, after all, even if he puts aside the original novel and only looks at Jiang Ya in the script, then according to the analysis of Jiang Ya's personality and behavior pattern in the script, there will be no such behavior in the later stage.

Mu Qing didn't think his starting point was wrong.

Xu Jizhou also vaguely heard the unconvincing in Mu Qing's words, and immediately smiled and said, "Eh, don't wronged me, I didn't say that your starting point was wrong." ”

"Then Director Xu, what do you mean?" Mu Qing also realized his somewhat overly stiff tone, and said a little curtly.

"There are indeed certain problems in the process of adapting the script, you know, "Psychological Crime" This work is a series of stories.,So if you don't change some of the character relationships and settings.,There's no way to present it in a movie.,I also changed it over and over again when I adapted the script in the early stage.,For the problem you said,I also know here.,But yesterday I had already sent the revised script to the actors.,You don't know that it may be that your agent hasn't had time to inform you for the time being.。 ”

"That's the case......" Mu Qing was almost a little embarrassed, this person had already solved his problem, but he was still aggressive and took the initiative to contact the family like questioning.

Although there was no question at all when this phone call, it was a little tasteless when chatting.

Looking at the past like this, it always seems that Mu Qing is a little rude.

"Director Xu, I'm really sorry for wasting your time. ”

This misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, and Mu Qing didn't feel that he had anything to apologize for.

Thinking of his tone just now, Mu Qing really wanted to find a hole to get into.

It's embarrassing, isn't it......

And Xu Jizhou's side doesn't matter.

"It's okay, you came to me to understand the role of the script, I'm happy here, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, if the actor really doesn't think about his role at all, then I really don't dare to use such an actor. ”

In Xu Jizhou's view, if an actor doesn't think about the role he wants to play at all, then the role effect he presents must be a little unsatisfactory, not to mention that the acting is not good, but for a director, there will always be a lack of spirituality.

Maybe some directors like to shoot according to the script, but he Xu Jizhou doesn't like that way.

So, in his opinion, a little problem is not a bad thing.

You must know that generally really good works, which one is not constantly adjusted through the run-in between the director, screenwriter and actors, and the so-called can only be solved by finding problems, if this is a pool of stagnant water, how can there be any further opportunities.

Mu Qing also smiled here.

"Director Xu, you don't think I'm too much. ”

"What's there to care about here, prepare well, our crew's script discussion will be held on July 20, and if you still have any doubts at that time, you can also raise it as much as possible. ”

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to meeting you with Director Xu, so I won't bother much here. ”

"Well, I'll see you then. ”

The two old men don't have anything to say hello to, so after the matter was over, the two of them hung up the phone directly, besides, if this is a greeting, it's not the same thing on the phone.

After Mu Qing hung up the phone, he was silent for two or three minutes, and he didn't know what to do.

"This thing is ...... Forget it, let's call Sister Dui to ask about the script, I don't want to have those things for the time being, and I don't know how Director Xu will deal with the logical problems of the characters, and improve Wei Wei's line? It's unlikely, after all, there are a lot of things involved......

Just as Mu Qing was talking to himself at length, Xu Jizhou, who hung up the phone on the other side, was also in a very delicate mood.

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with the casting of Jiang Ya as an actor at the beginning.

Let's not talk about acting skills for the time being, just Mu Qing's age alone can already make Xu Jizhou exclude this actor.

is still a little young, a young actor in his early twenties.

Although the hero does not ask where he comes from, he is not ambitious at an advanced age, but sometimes age represents the accumulation of experience, an actor, only if he has experienced more things, can he interpret things that he has never been exposed to more reasonably, and some things are not shown by imagination, which requires some state of mind.

So when Xu Jizhou knew Mu Qing's age, this first sense was not very good, you know, the setting of Jiang Ya's role is very complicated, if the acting skills are not enough and the performance is superficial, then some things of this role will definitely not be able to be presented well.

Bad guys, in fact, some are not easy to play, because there are no such simple good people in the world, and naturally there are no simple bad guys, in the script of "City Lights of Psychological Crime", the villain Jiang Ya is such a character.

You say that he is a simple bad person, but what you did in the early stage you will involuntarily identify with him, just like those people who support the light of the city, in their cognition, maybe it is a good thing that there is such a hero in the city who punishes evil and promotes good, and even before Jiang Ya went crazy, maybe there were some people who appreciated his behavior among the police who arrested him.

It's like Gotham City's Batman, although some people sarcastically say that this is an outlaw who puts himself above the law, but in the same way, there are many people who defend and respect him.

The setting of Jiang Ya's character also has such charm.

But relatively speaking, you can't simply say that he is a good person, because after all, he is killing people, relying on his own ability to kill people at will, setting his own standards, and judging the wicked people in this city.

And one of the key points of this is that no one knows when the trial standards of this so-called "hero" will change wrongly.

In other words, in fact, such an act of flouting the law is itself wrong.

The role of Jiang Ya is a big challenge for any mature actor, let alone a young actor.
