Chapter 33 Image and Acting Skills (Part 1)
As a reborn person, while having the insight of two lives, Li Mu still retains the temperament of the previous life in his bones. He had always kept a low profile before, careful not to be contaminated with dust, but now that he has decided to use the late-night canteen to do things, then the script will definitely have to be changed from beginning to end.
After the scene is grounded, the soul of the show, that is, the "food" that serves as the theme of each episode, will of course change with it.
In the plot of the Korean remake, although all the food is turned into local goods with sticks, it is not closely related to the story itself, and it is difficult to reflect the warmth of the original.
The domestic version is even more unsightly, and it actually made the audience watch three episodes of instant noodles, three episodes of hamburgers, and so on, Li Mu chased dramas in his previous life, and decided not to eat these two things anymore.
Come on, do these two things have anything to do with the flower planters? He really wanted to ask the vegetable director: In the eyes of the people in your Bay Province, in addition to the people of the mainland who can't afford to eat tea and eggs, do they actually eat this kind of junk food every day? Finally, there is a bit of a mainland specialty, but it is still a copycat version of pancake fruit, which is completely unbearable!
Since I am going to shoot the late-night cafeteria of the flower house now, although it is a low-cost production, the setting must be careful!
For this reason, Li Mu withstood the huge pressure that invisibly crossed the boundaries of time and space, and finally collected all the recipes of the whole drama in an afternoon.
The original setting of the canteen is: there are only simple dishes on the menu, but as long as the guests say what they want to eat, as long as the boss can make it, he can definitely make it for you, and it is full of "the taste of home".
Therefore, Li Mu's research direction is no longer confined to common dishes, he counts the types of barbecue that are commonly prepared on food stalls, as well as all kinds of fried stewed and stewed street fast food, as well as local snacks with strong local characteristics, such as stewed and fried liver.
In short, this owner will do everything, of course, their restaurant sells barbecue on the surface.
At this time, Liu Ye also happened to finish reading the outline, turned to the page of character setting, he finished sweeping the boss's personality, raised his eyes and looked directly at Li Mu who was working hard beside him.
"You're a complicated character......"
"Hmm."
"Good at cooking, street stalls are all-rounder."
"Yes."
"The origin is mysterious, there are scars on the face, and the life experience is quite rich."
"That's a must."
"Do you still have a big gold chain, a small gold watch, and a small barbecue three times a day?"
"You can do it if you like."
"it!" Liu Ye threw the script in front of Li Mu's eyes with a snap, and the number of heads and faces fell, "This guy was from the Northeast before, right?" You're just from me. ”
"Tell me honestly, have you long been jealous of my beautiful face, just waiting for me here?!"
"Ahem...... I'll go, you want to make a face! ”
Li Mu was taken aback by the contrast between his cold front and back, and almost choked himself with a mouthful of mutton. He coughed twice, turned his face and glanced at him fiercely: "Don't make trouble, you want to choke me to death!" ”
"Then why did you let me play a scar-faced man, and he still has the same origin as me?" Liu Ye pinched his face and leaned up, quite a bit indignant, "Look at my skin, is it appropriate?" Look at my temperament again, is it appropriate? ”
Two lives together, not to mention forty or fifty years of experience, Li Mu has really never seen such a narcissistic person. However, he has long been accustomed to Liu Ye's stinky and shameless posture, and seeing that he has not said anything against it until now, he knows that his resistance to this script is not very big, and if it is bad, it must be the boss's image setting.
The image of the boss of the original work skillfully blends various factors: the light blue clothes, coupled with Kobayashi's uncle's face, the whole person gives people a sense of tranquility; And the scar that almost runs through the left half of the face can be said to be the finishing touch, it is precisely because of it that the boss has become a classic of cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and it is no wonder that it will capture the hearts of fans.
This can be seen from the domestic remake, which almost copied the original, saying that it is a tribute to the classics, but Huang Xiaochu's warm and fat image completely ruined the outfit; Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, but it is just a copy of the form, but it has not learned the essence of the gods, even if it looks like the original work, it is in vain.
There is also the problem of the criticized supporting role, Li Mu thought about it again and again at the beginning of creation, and finally retained some of the settings of the original work. For example, Aaron's underworld background, the domestic remake took into account the review problem, so it was eliminated; But it's a pity that this kind of element, which can add a lot of color to the characters and dig deep into the light of human nature, is thrown away directly, so Li Mu did the opposite, and basically didn't have to worry about harmony.
Today's flower growers do not have much supervision over this kind of black-related theme; And in the huge city of 49, the judicial control has not reached the point of being overwhelming in later generations.
Just look at "Black Hole" a few years ago, how rampant are the criminals there? Playing with guns, smuggling, killing people, and doing everything, our people's police officers were all framed and imprisoned. But as long as the general direction is correct, the central idea of ensuring that evil is invincible over good, and the core values are firm, the flower grower does not care how much dirt there is in the process, but it is a necessary factor to highlight the theme.
However, in a few months, this balance will be broken, and the whole of Kyoto will have to work hard to get 120,000 points in spirit, which can be regarded as a state of war readiness, because the flower growers will be the host country in the Olympic Games in a few years, and show the world their bearing and friendly image of a great country.
Therefore, Li Mu wants to take advantage of this last opportunity to retain some seemingly forbidden elements in the late-night canteen, which are actually shining points that help promote the plot and highlight human nature.
At least, Ah Long's identity has not changed, so if he wears these sunglasses around at night, he will not be sprayed as a blind Ah Bing under the overpass.
Liu Ye's current worries are purely superfluous in his opinion, but his head is twitching again.
In addition to the idols who rely on their faces to eat, a real actor must take it as their responsibility to hone their acting skills all the time, they don't care about their image, they will give a lot of things for acting; For example, Zhang Zhen, a man from Bay Province, although he is not from a professional class, he is constantly honing his acting skills, and he will completely substitute himself before performing.
It is said that every time this guy plays a role, he will make himself a corresponding talent, just a few years of kung fu, Mongolian, diving, Go, swordsmanship, Baji, all of them have reached the level of professional level, although the rumors are not credible, but at least it shows an unbreakable truth.
Only after thoroughly studying the script and figuring out the characters and relationships can you shape every role well and make your acting skills greatly improved and developed.
It's just a pity that even a serious and dedicated actor like Zhang Zhen didn't win too many awards in acting skills until Li Mu relived, and the reason for this is unknown.
Let's bring back the topic of deviation: a second-tier actor in the Bay Province can thrive in such obscurity before his acting skills are mature, doesn't Liu Ye, who is the Golden Horse actor, understand the truth of this?
The answer, obviously, is no. On the contrary, he knew very well that he had passed the era of the supremacy of appearance, and idolism was not the path he should take at all.
So what he needs to do now is to hone his acting skills into a blade that is easy to obey, so that the big golden horse deserves its name, so as to hit the water in the middle stream and pursue a higher peak.
