Chapter 122: The Actors (5/6 Subscription Requested)
(In the previous chapter, I made a mistake, the filming location of "Nobody" was in Duyun... The content has been changed... )
Rao Xiaozhi, a native of Guizhou, left his hometown at the age of 18 and went from a small town, county seat, and provincial capital all the way to the capital Beijing.
In 2003, Rao Xiaozhi successfully graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, and he did not plunge into the theater industry all at once, but opened a special restaurant unhurriedly.
Why do restaurants?
Because I want to make money!
It's a pity that 03 caught up with you know, the restaurant closed its doors ...
At that time, Meng Jinghui was auditioning actors for a new play, Rao Xiaozhi went, and then started his own promotion in the drama industry: from extras to role actors and then assistant directors...
In 08, he cooperated with Li Yapeng to found the Spring Drama Studio, and stepped forward step by step...
The group of people who were born as drama directors, they have a basic criterion for selecting actors, that is, they must be able to act!
Because in drama, or in all stage arts, the actor is the most critical influence on the final presentation.
In a sense, stage art is a low-mask, real-time presentation.
In the traditional "stage-audience" relationship, the audience's perspective is definite and unchanging, and for some new avant-garde attempts, the audience's perspective wanders through the scene of the actor's performance, and the audience's perspective is dissociated and omnipresent.
This is the biggest inconsistency that directors face in stage and video works: the inconsistency of masking.
Masking, to put it simply, is what you want to see and what you don't want to see.
In the two perspectives of the audience in a stage production, the director faces two situations that have the same problem: the weakness of the mask.
The director can't directly and forcefully make you see what he wants you to see and ignore what he wants you to ignore.
This is different from movies, where the director can complete the mask through lens scheduling, environmental scheduling, actor scheduling and even more means, including post-production, special effects, and editing.
For stage art, the only means available to the director are limited environmental adjustments, and more rely on actor scheduling.
Therefore, "Hello, Maniac", although the story is okay and the actors' performances are in place, the audience just doesn't buy it!
Obviously, there aren't as many drama fans as everyone thinks!
"Hello, Maniac" is a remake of the famous drama "Seven Billy", how many people know "Seven Billy"?
Moreover, the arrangement of the stage picture of the whole film, the composition principle of the stage frame, and the "Trinity" criterion of the stage-like space...
It's almost impossible to see the play of cinematic language...
This time, in "Panic Gun Walking", he first established the characters, wrote a biography of tens of thousands of words for each character, and then connected the characters through an old gun...
The story itself is spatial!
With spatiality, it's easy to make movies, and this time, he's full of confidence!
Looking for Yinghuang and Beijing Culture, both of them are quite optimistic, and directly gave 30 million funds...
But his bottom line is still there, and the actors he chooses must be the ones with good acting skills and good acting.
Chen Jianbing, who was a drama actor in the early years, Meng Jinghui's right-hand man, and the winner of the Golden Lion Award for Drama, has a great record: he won the Most Popular Actor Award at the Golden Eagle Festival for a second time, this record is difficult to break, after all, Li Yifeng has no TV series to be broadcast this year...
Wang Yanhui, head of the Yunnan Repertory Theatre, acting skills, needless to say;
Wan Qian, the heroine of "Hello, Maniac", plays seven personalities by herself;
Peng Peng, the most high-profile acting school of the younger generation;
Shen Ming, not to mention...
The last is Ren Suxi, he and Ren Suxi must cooperate, these two have collaborated on too many dramas!
The drama version of "Hello, Madman!", he used Ren Suxi, the part between the robber and the crippled woman in "Panic Gun Walking" is the drama "Stupid", and he also used Ren Suxi.
Ren Suxi is too addicted to "Stupid", and the actor who plays Hu Guangsheng - drama, not movie!
You get the idea!
At that time, she had just been married for a year...
It can only be said that acting skills do not represent character...
By the way, after Shen Ming announced that he would join, Fuji Xun and Minghui companies, including Qiancheng Pictures, also entered the game, with an investment of 10 million each...
stunned to increase the production budget of "Nobody" to 60 million.
Rao Xiaozhi also had the luxury of it, and directly chartered the shooting venue...
……
At noon, the car pulled up in the courtyard of a hotel.
This hotel is in the north of Duyun, about five minutes' drive from the set, the accommodation conditions are acceptable, mainly quiet, not as noisy as the city center...
Opening the trunk, Wan Qian was about to help Shen Ming carry the suitcase, and then found that he was a suitcase, so he couldn't hold back and asked, "You brought this little thing?"
“… Two sets of laundry, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shoes... Isn't that enough?"
"Enough, enough... I didn't expect you to be so rough!"
"Where am I rough, I also brought vitamin tablets and Nivea Men's Facial Cleanser and Head & Shoulders!"
“… Don't talk about what you endorse!"
"By the way, I'll ask them to send some snacks in two days, how much do you want?"
“… How much?"
What is the concept?
"There are a few snack brands that want to endorse me, and the company said, try it first, they should take a few hundred catties first..."
“… The treatment of A-list stars is so good!"
"Who is the first line? I am the super first line, okay?"
While walking and chatting, when he arrived at the elevator, Shen Ming said: "I'll go back to my room, and I'll be waiting for you in the hall half an hour later!"
“… Well. ”
Brother Ming has always been very beep-heavy, and he resolutely does not get too close to actresses other than Milk Xiao.
This is not a matter of misfire or 404, he is now the most high-profile super-first-line newcomer actor in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him.
Not to mention reading the script together, even if the distance is a little closer, it is possible to be pulled out and hyped up!
Wan Qian also knew in her heart, nodded, and went back to her room.
This sister has been slowly moving to the public since 14, and "Paradise in the Army" won the Best Supporting Actress at a certain horse award, and the circle began to notice her and was able to participate in some good scripts.
"Mr. Good", "Hide and Seek", "Hello, Maniac", "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", film and television dramas have blossomed twice, and there are a group of regular fans.
She attaches great importance to "The Nameless" this time, and the role she plays should be regarded as the second female lead, the core character who connects several incidents, if she plays it well, she can definitely add points, but it is difficult to play the role of Zhao Hongxia well.
Because Ren Suxi's Ma Jiaqi is definitely a drama...
And she watched "Stupid" on the spot, and knew Ren Suxi's strength...
Lying on the bed and pondering what to do during tomorrow's shooting, then the phone rang, Shen Ming asked her why she hadn't come down yet, replied 'I'll be there soon', then freshened up, made up my makeup, and went downstairs half an hour later...
"Sister, what are you doing in the room?"
“… Women must dress up when they go out!"
“… I thought you were hiding in your room and having fun by yourself..."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, let's go, let's go meet the actors of the crew, I don't know Mr. Chen, you can help me introduce it when the time comes!"
"Teacher Chen is very talkative, but he is a little old-fashioned..."
"He used to be a teacher of Chinese opera, it's normal to be old-fashioned, and Ren Suxi, do you know her?"
Here, Shen Ming is asking Wan Qian about the actors in the crew, and over there, in the box of the restaurant, a bunch of actors are also asking Rao Xiaozhi about Shen Ming...
