Chapter 129: Backstage
Director Wu Weiguo, his name may not be loud, but the films he has made, just name one, are many people's childhood memories and classic synonyms. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All the descendants who shoot the same theme, no matter how good or bad they shoot, will be compared with the films he made, Wu Weiguo's era, due to the limitations of technology and resources, in terms of sets and special effects, it is indeed inferior to now, and some decorations are too fancy.
It is also under such conditions that Wu Weiguo has an unusual dedication to the personal quality and dedication of actors, there was once a scene, he couldn't get over it, and there were so many waste films that the representatives of the investors present trembled, saying that it was actually almost like this, it was already very good, but he scolded back: "Do you want to hang your name in the director's column?"
The modifications required by the investor, he will also refuse to modify because of "illogical", at the beginning almost no one recognized his style, Wu Weiguo's life was very difficult, all relying on his wife's work and the support of his mother's family, he successfully made a few sets of films.
It wasn't until Xiao Juntian's father had a discerning eye and said that capable people had the qualifications to play tempers, and he tried his best to support them and create several high-quality films that are still talked about more than 20 years later, the three words Wu Weiguo suddenly became a box office guarantee, even if he didn't even know the name of the play, as long as he knew that the director was Wu Weiguo, some investors came to the door with a lot of real money.
Now, although he wants to transform from the old-school traditional style and define the target audience as a younger generation, he will never relax his requirements for quality, and he does not consider the well-known traffic in the circle.
Wu Weiguo chose to bless this story as a test of the waters because of Xiao Juntian's recommendation, after all, Mr. Xiao reached out when he was in the most difficult time, even if the novel itself is not very popular, he can also tell this story as an original.
Therefore, he doesn't care much about the conversion of the female number one and the female number two, no matter who is the female number one and the empress Chenglan, they all have their own stories and their own ways of writing, which will not affect the excitement of the story.
He pays attention to actors.
One woman, one woman, two women, one man and two men, are all designated candidates by the two investors of Huachuang and Youjia, and he found after carefully looking at them.
Rong Shiyin has filmed small-scale urban and costume dramas, although her acting skills are mediocre, but her appearance is more in line with the requirements, and she also works hard personally.
Li Moyi is a newcomer, and he has only played a trick and a male number three before, but after watching his video materials, Wu Weiguo has a very good impression of Li Moyi: "This young man is very spiritual. ”
The video is carefully selected by the blessing, in the footage that has not done any editing and special effects, Li Mo is dressed in a black tight short fight, quietly coiled under the eaves, and does not move, until the target turns his back, he is like a black wind from under the eaves, stabbing straight to the target's vest, a successful blow, in the rain of arrows of the guards who came, he was hit by an arrow, hid in the boudoir of the young lady, and woke up the beauty in the dream.
When he looked up and looked at the young lady's eyes, Li Moyi's eyes were given a close-up, full of cold murderous aura, and his blood-soaked hand slowly clenched the blood-stained dagger, and the tightness of his whole body was very good. In the end, after the seriously ill young lady fled, he collected medicine and decoction for the young lady, was careful when covering her with a quilt, and spoke fiercely when feeding her medicine, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
Although the male No. 3 doesn't talk much, the lines of the whole play don't add up to more than 200 words, and the scenes don't add up to more than 50 minutes, but after the film was broadcast, it made many little girls crazy about it, made many editing MVs for him, wrote many side plot stories, and even called for a second part to be filmed, specifically about his story.
Li Moyi not only has acting skills, but also is a martial arts substitute, he has already told Wu Weiguo that all the scenes can be played by himself, and there is no need for any stuntman.
In this era when there is a stand-in even for filming literary dramas, it is quite rare for an actor to have such an awareness, and Wu Weiguo is also very satisfied with him.
Male No. 2 Chen Wei was recommended by Wu Weiguo's friend, a soldier who retired from the honor guard, and his temperament and demeanor are consistent with the quality of Lin Hai, the guard in front of the palace.
What gave him a headache was Fang Yuan recommended by Youjia Fund, if she played the heroine of an urban romance drama, it was okay, or she could play a small family of jasper, let her play a graceful and atmospheric queen, it was too difficult for her, makeup artists and stylists had done their best to dress her up in a proud and glamorous direction.
As soon as she speaks and acts, she seems to be a character in a palace fight drama who has just climbed to a certain height and does not know the height of the sky, and is often the cannon fodder used by the heroine for mid-term upgrades.
On the day after the makeup photos were taken, Wu Weiguo introduced a few films and asked her to go back and study them carefully, hoping that she could understand the expressiveness of the older generation of artists in the film.
Unexpectedly, a month later, when auditioning again, Wu Weiguo was disappointed to find that she had not improved at all, compared with it, Chen Wei had made great progress, from an iceberg face that was always paralyzed, to being able to change his eyes and micro-expressions according to the plot.
Rong Shiyin worked hard, she knew that she was stiff and not natural and smooth enough when she hung Weiya before, so she went to the dance class to study.
Could it be that Fang Yuan is really so unbright? Wu Weiguo asked her what she thought after watching those films, Fang Yuan smiled indifferently: "I'm busy every day, Director Wu, you don't know, how busy the Youjia Fund is, I either want to go here every day to condole, or go there to sign a contract, I finally just came back to rest, and I have to have a meeting, I really don't have time to watch." ”
"In a month, don't you even have time to finish reading one?" Wu Weiguo was a little angry.
Fang Yuan actually nodded, Wu Weiguo just wanted to speak, but before she could speak, Fang Yuan's mobile phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID, and spread her hands: "Look, I'm really busy." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the phone: "Oh, Mr. Jin, do you remember me, I thought you had already found someone else to shoot that advertisement......"
She just made the phone call and turned to leave.
Wu Weiguo frowned: "This attitude, how can you shoot?"
He also picked up the phone: "Mr. Xiao, this Fang Yuan you introduced, no, can you change it?" It's better to let Yun Feng shoot it, I can finish her schedule first." ”
Xiao Juntian's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Fang Yuan is still young and ignorant, let me talk about her, I said Director Wu, you also have to give young people some opportunities, always use first-line actresses, and you can't show your strength, right?"
