Chapter 73: Role Analysis (2/5)
For most audiences, the most important thing to say about the drama is disrespect for the profession...
As long as you act well, who cares about you!
Director Xu Anhua has mentioned the topic of rolling dramas before: 'Zhang Manyu's agent is very good to me, he said, Zhang Manyu will take on other scenes during your filming period, but your drama is the priority, if you give her a scene, she will give you a play first. I was especially grateful for listening. At that time, the actors were also very powerful, going from one play to another, and even Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong's best performances were during this time: under the condition of filming at least two dramas at the same time, each one was nominated. So I don't dare to be superstitious, and it must be better for an actor to concentrate on filming a scene. ”
From this, it can be concluded for the time being: rolling drama is not necessarily the original sin of bad acting, and it should not be a reason to be ridiculed at first, but it has developed so far, and many times rolling drama + poor acting skills have caused disgust over time.
Who cares about drama?
We only care about how you play this play, and the business is good at how many plays you roll!
For many actors, the effort and effort are the same, but the results are very different!
Some people are directly popular, but some people continue to stumble!
This is the entertainment industry, a drama can trigger a series of chain reactions, and a choice may change a person's fate.
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the first Yan Yan to play the eighth elder brother...
Therefore, for more opportunities, many actors will choose to take on many plays at the same time!
After all, no one can guarantee which field will bloom.
Many times, actors are involved in playing, not only because of "money", but more often actors are reluctant to give up that opportunity, they don't know whether the choice they made at the moment is right, and they don't know if the choice they give up will be better. To put it bluntly, the actors who usually roll the drama actually don't trust the director's level in their hearts, and the drama is a way for them to find a sense of security.
However, for the crew, rolling the scene means that the actors are less engaged, which is already a sign of disdedication.
There is no director who likes actors who play dramas!
It's understandable that actors want to seize every opportunity, but while actors are responsible for themselves, they must first be responsible for every play, every crew, and every performance.
Especially after it is red, you should pay attention to cherish your feathers...
It's not whitewashing...
……
The post-production of "Source Code" was very simple, because the whole play was only three scenes, and they were filmed almost in order, and the editing did not require much effort.
Of course, special effects and post-grading take up a lot of time.
The later stage was coordinated by Steven Querrey, and Lu Xiaoran was still very relieved.
After all, it cost him $1.5 million to invite him, and he didn't dare to take this drama without any real skills!
Lu Xiaoran went to Xiamen.
"Sunburning" is likely to be his last starring role in a crime-themed movie.
In the future, I will spend more energy behind the scenes, and there are other things...
……
Arrived in Xiamen on March 6, and Lu Xiaoran did not directly enter the group.
He needed a little time to adjust himself.
Before entering a role, you need to let go of the previous role and let your emotions empty...
Auxiliary police officer Xin Xiaofeng, seemingly ordinary, but in fact he hides shocking secrets, lives a restless life every day, on the one hand, he has to perform dangerous tasks smartly, and on the other hand, he has to try his best to hide his secrets and protect himself and his brothers.
Such a character is outwardly manifested: he is not fatal in the execution of the task, although he will always be nervous and afraid, will bluff, and deliberately use fierceness to disguise his fearful self...
The "scale" of "Scorching Sun" is large enough, whether it is a gay plot or a high-rise chase scene.
At the end, when Xin Xiaofeng was executed by lethal injection, it was another rainy night, and the real murderer confessed...
This ending is deliberate, not the same as the original!
In the original book, the three brothers really killed someone!
But you're going to have to be from the audience's point of view, and then there's some issues to consider, it's the scale of acceptance and the scope of it.
If Xin Xiaofeng and the three are the real culprits of the tragedy, then no matter what they do to redeem themselves, they will not be able to make the audience fall in love with them, because their atrocities are hateful!
And the characters portrayed in the movie can't have such outrageous stains, otherwise such characters will not be successful, at least not in China.
So, they need to be whitewashed, and they must also be whitewashed.
The appearance of the fourth person has played these roles completely. The director has to do this, and the plot has to be reversed.
A genre film with a plot, and then a relatively large-scale commercial production, you have to consider the problem of audience reception!
These are Cao Baoping's exact words...
You see, although Lao Cao insists, he will still consider the market...
The academic school is not all the kind of people who only want their own aesthetics and then ignore it!
Of course, Xin Xiaofeng did commit a crime, he was stimulated and then killed the woman...
There is also a character that was deliberately deleted: the perverted landlord.
The landlord of the original book used the materials collected by eavesdropping and breaking into the house to deduce that the three of them were the murderers of the tragedy, and wrote a letter to denounce it, but he didn't give Igu Haru a chance to persuade them to turn themselves in.
But because of the length, it was only pointed out that he was a pervert, and the specific pervert was omitted.
A movie, although it is a group drama, can't be too group...
This is considered from the perspective of production, and Lu Xiaoran can understand it.
Atonement and salvation are all there is to "Sunburning".
Chinese movies with this kind of theme will not be too good-looking, because it is too easy for the theme to come first, and it is too easy to directly output the truth with a straight face.
It won't look too good, which means that the box office won't be very high.
It doesn't matter, in the play "Scorching Sun", he is just an actor and is not ready to interfere with the director's creation, especially after experiencing the incident of changing the heroine...
After all, Da Mi Mi was designated by Xiao Luzi...
……
After pondering in the room for two days, Lu Xiaoran felt that it was still a little worse...
It was difficult for him to find emotional references.
Even if he can act, it's just a performance, and when compared with the other actors in the crew, he immediately pales in comparison...
Especially when I heard that the rival actor Duan Yihong said in his dreams during the New Year for "The Scorching Sun", he said 'May the country and the people be safe'...
It's terrible, this is living yourself as a character!
With such an actor, you can't be a little slack, otherwise, you will be pressed...
In fact, Lu Xiaoran is a selling point in the drama "Scorching Sun", and with him, the audience will buy tickets to enter the theater...
However, Mr. Lu is an actor, and he still has the mentality of becoming a performing artist.
By the way, Cao Baoping designed an action for Lu Xiaoran to wipe cigarette butts with his fingers...
Lu Xiaoran tried it once in the room, and then honestly put on the props prepared by the makeup artist - a thick sebum insulation layer.
