Chapter 142: The Director is Confirmed
The difficulty of playing a supporting role is actually not much easier than playing the leading role.
On the contrary, because of the thinness of the characters' plot scenes, the supporting roles need more in-depth research and setting to make the character plump and infectious.
When Wu Huai studies the role of Xiaobei, he will try to enter the heart of this character.
Every action and every word he says has its own behavioral logic and character traits, and it is unique.
What he has to do is to give life to the characters in his fantasy.
And the more his own temperament matches Xiaobei, the more realistic the role he presents.
In order to find the character traits of Xiaobei's character, Wu Huai began his own attempt.
Look at people's eyes and postures, changes in mood, anger and sorrow, and daily words and deeds......
Wu Huai looked at himself in the mirror, adjusting little by little.
In the artistic creation of performance, the actor is represented as a character image on the one hand, and as the owner of the image - the creator on the other hand.
This determines that the actor must live a double life and master a dual personality.
At this time, Wu Huai, his 'first self' is Wu Huai himself, he looks at it condescendingly, and he is the controller.
And the 'second self' is Xiaobei, a character in the process of being shaped, and a tool to be controlled.
The 'first self' processes and processes the 'second self', so as to gradually form an ideal character image......
A week has passed in a flash, and news has also come from Dongying Group that it has found a suitable director.
A quiet and elegant restaurant box.
Ren Shihui looked at Wu Huai curiously - he was too different from before at this time!
Previously, he gave people a deep and introverted feeling, just like Mei Changsu he played, which was unpredictable.
But at this time, Wu Huai gave people a sense of youth and vitality, like a college student who was not deeply involved in the world......
"Ahuai, you've changed a bit big!" Ren Shihui said with a smile.
Wu Huai laughed and said, "Do you feel a little bit of a little Bei?"
Ren Shihui's eyes lit up, and then he thought of this stubble.
He looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "You really mean a little bit when you say this." ”
Wu Huai shook his head and smiled: "Recently, I have been pondering and studying this role, and I will unconsciously imitate this role." ”
"Like ...... However, Xiaobei shouldn't be as handsome as you, otherwise where would the seaweed be willing to cheat!" Ren Shihui laughed and teased.
Wu Huai smiled: "When the time comes, push a flat head and darken my skin, in fact, I am also very ordinary!"
Ren Shihui just wanted to laugh at Wu Huai, but when he saw someone push open the box and walk in, he got up and said with a smile: "Director Xi, you're here!"
Wu Huai also stood up and looked at the people who entered the door.
A woman of about forty years of age, with single eyelids, slightly high cheekbones, and a faint smile on her face.
"This is director Xi Pingliang, this is Wu Huai, the investor of this "Snail House", ......" Ren Shihui introduced.
Xi Pingliang glanced at Wu Huai, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu doesn't need to be introduced by Minister Ren, there is Mei Lang on the left side of the river!"
Wu Huai shook hands with Xi Pingliang with a smile and said with a smile, "Director Xi, don't laugh at me, please take a seat." ”
Wu Huai didn't expect that the person invited by Dongying Group turned out to be Xi Pingliang.
As one of the few first-line female directors in the circle, Xi Pingliang's strength should not be underestimated.
Wu Huai watched a TV series called "Big Names of the Republic of China" that she filmed two years ago.
This TV series tells the grievances and hatreds between several generations of families, the relationship between the characters is complicated, and the ending is also quite emotional.
But what touched Wu Huai the most was the ending of the characters in the play, with a strong taste of fate and cause and effect.
Thick and realistic, this is the biggest feature of her directing works.
From this point of view alone, she is indeed quite suitable for the TV series "Snail House".
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to talk about the script of "Snail House".
This is also the highlight of today, no matter what Wu Huai says, he is the biggest investor in this TV series, and Xi Pingliang wants to direct this TV series and Wu Huai has to nod.
"When I watched "Snail House" for the first time, I read it from the perspective of a reader, which was very in-depth and bold......"
The plot is a microcosm of the history of contemporary college students' struggle to stay in the city, and the human value of the young generation represented by Haiping and Seaweed has produced violent shocks in the constraints of material conditions such as houses......
Xiaosan, high-ranking officials, house slaves, corruption, and many scenes that make people feel emotional......
Being close to life is where its life value lies, and it is also where the highlight is......"
Wu Huai listened intently, what Xi Pingliang said to him was not a plot fragment or character, but a strategic way to understand the deep meaning of the script from a deeper level.
Or what meaning does the script want to convey to the audience.
This is the decisive factor that determines the final style of a TV series!
At first, it was just Xi Pingliang who said, and Wu Huai was listening.
But gradually, Wu Huai also began to elaborate his views, and the two had more in-depth exchanges.
Gradually, the two began to talk.
The desires in the hearts of each character in the play, the understanding of the character's character and behavior, and the deep meaning and enlightenment of each character's ending.
Every touching detail, every vibration that hits the heart, every fragment that makes people cry.
Both of them exchanged details one by one, saying their opinions.
The more he talked about it, the more Wu Huai felt that Xi Pingliang was in line with his own ideas.
She will be touched by the experiences of several protagonists in the play, and she will feel deeply about the situation of each character in the play.
She can easily dig out the moving points of the script, and she understands the deep meaning of every plot in the play.
It's getting late, and the two of them still feel unfinished!
"Do you two want to talk at night?" Ren Shihui, who had been waiting for several hours, had to interrupt helplessly.
Only then did the two of them react, unconsciously that so much time had passed.
After Xi Pingliang came back to his senses, he also felt a little incredible, he had been chatting with a twenty-year-old young man for so long?
It's not so much a chat, it's more an exchange and collision of ideas.
From the exchange, she could clearly feel the cognition, thinking and depth of Wu Huai's thoughts.
Is he really just a twenty-year-old young man......
Xi Pingliang couldn't help but sigh a little, no wonder he was able to interpret the role of Mei Changsu so well.
With such a depth of thought, it is indeed possible to control this role.
Wu Huai was also very satisfied with Xi Pingliang, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Director Xi, it's our honor to have you direct this TV series!"
Xi Pingliang shook Wu Huai's hand without hesitation and said, "Words are serious...... Happy working together!"
