Chapter 62: Role Analysis

From a purely directorial point of view, Xu Jinglei's directing skills are really not very high.

has been in the industry for more than 20 years, has acted in dozens of works, and has also made a lot of movies, whether it is a literary film or an art film, the highest evaluation is her first work "Me and Dad"

But to be honest, that movie has little to do with Xu Jinglei, the bigwigs in the circle helped, the script was written by Wang Shuo, and Ye Daying personally played the leading role, teaching the whole process, and Jiang Wen also played a role in it...

Later, "Letter from a Strange Woman" or "Which Dream Shines into Reality" can only be regarded as a relatively mediocre drama.

Of course, compared with the bad movies that are flooded in the market, although Lao Xu's movies can't avoid the problem of narrow vision, they are at least better than delicate feelings.

However, after she switched to commercial films, a bunch of problems began to be exposed.

"Durala's Promotion", "Intimate Enemy", "Kidnapper", without exception, the plot is slightly chaotic, and the most direct reason for the plot confusion is that the director has lost the ability to control the rhythm of the movie, and a director who has no way to control the rhythm of his movie is definitely not a good director!

Especially commercial films.

This is also the fundamental reason why more and more people feel that Lao Xu is not suitable to be a director.

Originally, Xu Hui felt that movies like "33 Days of Broken Love", which did not require much skills, Lao Xu should be able to be competent as a director.

Looks like he's thinking too much!

Wouldn't it be over if you shoot according to the script!

……

Lao Xu is a woman and a female director.

On the one hand, men have a broader view of the overall situation than women, which is often contrary to the original characteristics of women who are obsessed with details and lose sight of the overall situation.

On the other hand, men are more adept at using technology than women. A good director does not necessarily need to have a solid technical foundation, but he must have a technical imagination to promote the development of the film industry. It is a reality that men have an advantage over women in the field of playing with machines.

What's more, directing is a manual job, let's just talk about Xu Hui, working sixteen hours a day is commonplace, you let a woman stand in front of the monitor for sixteen hours to try.

However, compared with male directors, female directors will have more delicate feelings, and they are also better at thinking from a female perspective.

Lao Xu's first three films are quite well evaluated in the industry, but they are all loss-making,

Feature films, or movies that are too literary, the audience can't enjoy them.

So, she needs to change, she needs to cater to the market.

"33 Days of Broken Love" gave her a good opportunity, but she still couldn't change her past film style.

For example, the scene where Huang Xiaoxian talks to Feng Jiaqi, her best friend who robbed her boyfriend, wants to use a more literary and artistic way of expression, adding a few scenes where the two used to get along amicably.

MMP, this Feng Jiaqi is just a trick role, the whole movie is just two shots, why waste shots for such a trick?

This is Xu Hui's idea.

It's a pity that this section has already been filmed.

According to Lao Xu's character, it is estimated that it will be cut into a film...

The director he invited should also support himself while kneeling.

Besides, Feng Jiaqi's actor is Liu Sisi.

The ghost knows how Lao Xu hooked up with Liu Sisi, and the latter really agreed to make a cameo appearance in "33 Days of Broken Love".

By the way, Lu Ran's actor is Huang Jiao!

It's amazing, and my ex-boyfriend didn't let it go.

Except for a few leading actors who are not very famous, the cameo appearances are all actors with names and surnames.

Lao Xu has been polishing in the circle for more than ten years, and his connections are indeed not comparable to that of a fledgling director like Xu Hui.

……

The crew transferred to the Tang Hui residence.

Damn, Lao Xu is really able to wave, and he really shoots on the spot at the Tang Hui Mansion!

The plot is like this, Li Ke, that is, the character played by Zheng Shuang, called Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaobei early in the morning to discuss the wedding.

The two were sleepy.

Then, Wang Xiaobei couldn't help but get angry.

The shooting time is also six o'clock in the morning...

Xu Hui got up at half past four to put on makeup, and Zhao Liying and Zheng Shuang were similar.

This is especially true for the staff on site, so it's not really comfortable to shoot a movie.

"The lights are a little blurry, after all, it's early in the morning, plus two baffles. ”

"Are you alright?"

β€œAction!”

Filming officially began.

Zhao Liying yawned, looking sleepy: "What's the matter?"

Xu Hui next to him had a somewhat blank expression.

Zheng Shuang drank milk tea while talking about it: "Yesterday, Wei Wei suddenly told me that he thought it would be very troublesome to make a short film, what should I do, I must shoot a short film!"

Zhao Liying glanced at her a little helplessly, and sniffled: "Miss Li, it's five o'clock in the morning, you called the two of us here for this?"

"I also want to go back from Tang Hui to directly raise my face, but if this matter is not resolved, I can't sleep at all..."

At this time, Xu Hui picked up the tissue on the table, blew his nose vigorously, and looked around, as if he was not listening to Zheng Shuang.

β€œβ€¦β€

Zheng Shuang was interrupted by Xu Hui's movements, and he forgot his words for a while.

"Click!"

Something went wrong, and Lao Xu decisively shouted to stop.

The actor will add some small movements when performing.

Xu Hui deliberately added this paragraph, in addition to indicating that the weather is a little cold, but more importantly, to pave the way for the outbreak later.

Zheng Shuang probably didn't expect Xu Hui to make so many moves.

β€œβ€¦ I'm sorry, director, I forgot the words..."

Hurry up and apologize.

"Be careful next time!"

Lao Xu didn't say anything.

In fact, after Xu Hui came to the crew, it was obvious that the filming was much smoother than before.

With veteran drivers leading the way, the novices are decisively on the road a lot faster.

……

Xu Hui has a very clear understanding of himself, if this is a systematic text, the full score of acting skills is 100 points, and his acting skills should be around 65 points.

is a fledgling, and there is still a lot of distance from the word acting, but he has been trained by several old drivers, coupled with his own efforts, and he has seen Wen Zhang's interpretation of Wang Xiaobei before.

Therefore, it is very smooth to play this role.

The role of Wang Xiaobei is very interesting, the movie never said that Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaobei are really together, according to Xu Hui's character analysis, this man is very likely to be a gay, his personality is not very straight, he can have a sharp tongue, and he can also wake her up with a slap when Huang Xiaoxian is chasing a taxi, and he can even make a bowl of ice cream with toothpaste for Huang Xiaoxian when he is sharing a house.

Maybe Wang Xiaobei is just a gay honey.

The word gay honey is popular from Europe and the United States, and the heroines of many TV series have a gay honey, and they must say Willie Garson of "Sex and the City", "Will and Grace", in short, but watching American dramas in recent years, almost all heroines have a gay honey.

Xu Hui knows very well how to play such a role.
