Gu Cheng and the two girls chatted politely for a while, and the meeting on the other side was over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Screenwriter Liu and Director Li drank some water and walked into the lounge. Let's be polite and get to the point.

Gu Cheng soon discovered that Director Li was a complete puppet and barely expressed his opinions. The so-called finalization is all up to his mother screenwriter Liu.

The screenwriter finalizes the casting, and naturally there is a screenwriter's way.

Screenwriter Liu didn't even let Gu Cheng or Dong Jie get up for a while, but just let them talk about their views and understanding of this drama:

"Xiao Gu, talk about your opinion on the role of Jin Yanxi. Or what abilities do you think you need to improve on the basis of 'Hua Ze' in order to control Jin Yanxi well. ”

The questions are casual and general, but they do have something to ask. And it was not out of Gu Cheng's expectations, he had thought about it before he came.

Gu Cheng pursed his lips and tried to analyze: "I think the challenge is quite big. When playing 'Hanazawa', you only need 'technical acting'. If you work well with photography, lighting, and rhythm, you can shoot freely, and the effect is very good. As for the characters, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, the Chinese audience doesn't know what the flowers are like, what I say is what it is.

The biggest difference between "The Family of Gold Powder" is that it is a masterpiece in itself, and it is nicknamed "Dream of Red Mansions of the Republic of China" by the literary world. In the future, after the film becomes popular, countless people will definitely read the novel and understand the character of Jin Yanxi. So I had to spend my main energy figuring out the characters......"

starred in his true colors, and naturally he could add 20 points of acting skills. People who originally scored 60 points, if the character design is very similar to themselves, they can also perform the effect of 80 points. For example, Zhou Jielun's pretending movies are because he is playing himself, and his acting skills are basically not bad.

The screenwriter nodded slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Then have you figured out the original work?"

Gu Cheng confessed: "It took two days of hard work and watched it several times. I don't think the role of Jin Yanxi is very likable, and it still conflicts with my personality. ”

In the original book, Jin Yanxi is a complete scumbag.

Bai Xiuzhu was infatuated with Jin Yanxi at the beginning, and the two were already boyfriend and girlfriend for life. Later, because Jin Yanxi was unwilling to be bound by Bai Xiuzhu's infatuation, she cheated and found Leng Qingqiu.

Although Gu Cheng had also played with the bodies of those female artists who objectified himself in his previous life, he would not deceive his sister's feelings. Jin Yanxi, who let him bring into the original work, is indeed challenging.

The screenwriter also agrees with this, but she obviously has deeper considerations, so she said to Gu Cheng: "It's good that you can recognize this." However, the adaptation of a famous book into a TV series is not as serious as you think. Figuring out the characters is indeed important, but the purpose of figuring out is not to absolutely respect the original work.

We have to respect the original work while making the character of Jin Yanxi more likable. Even if this is a film that wants to educate people, you have to lead people into the pit first, otherwise it will be too high and low, and the soap opera girl will be poisoned away at the beginning, and no matter how good the film is, it will only be able to educate people - do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Cheng was vaguely vague: "I probably understand a little." ”

"Okay, then you can read the script and talk about how you're going to make the character. ”

Screenwriter Liu said, throwing a script outline on the conference table.

Gu Cheng took it and swept it roughly for a while. He hadn't watched "The Family of Gold Powder" in his previous life, so he didn't know what the script of another time and space was like, and with the script in his hand at the moment, he naturally didn't feel anything special.

And Dong Jie on the side also leaned over to look at it for a while, but her face changed suddenly.

She didn't have a deep city, so she directly suppressed her voice and exclaimed: "The emotional clues are completely according to the original book?" Mr. Liu, didn't your last version of the script be set to 'At the beginning, it was just Bai Xiuzhu's unrequited love for Jin Yanxi, but the two did not determine the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend'? ”

When Gu Cheng heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Dong Jie and screenwriter Liu suspiciously.

Since the male number one has changed to Xiao Gu, there must always be a good point to advance. Add a little difficulty to him, that is also trust him. Screenwriter Liu said, his eyes flashed with some unhappiness, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Dong Jie. However, she still explained it to Gu Cheng roughly.

It turned out that before Gu Cheng intervened, a leading actor named Cheng Kun was selected in this play, and he was also a well-known handsome guy in the circle. also made a very good literary film "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and later won the Hollywood Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film nomination.

However, screenwriter Liu thinks that Cheng Kun's image is enough to be sharp-mouthed monkey gills, and he looks bad, if he starts again, it will be too scummy, maybe the glass-hearted girls will directly abandon the drama.

So with a stroke of her pen, she changed the boyfriend and girlfriend characters of Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu at the beginning to Bai Xiuzhu's unrequited love. As a result, in the first two-thirds of the play, the male protagonist's scumbag level suddenly plummeted by eighty, and it was much easier to control.

But perhaps the dedicated and cold image created by Gu Cheng in "Meteor Garden" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has too much social influence, so it is urgent to pour some dirty water on Gu Cheng's role and make him self-destruct his image.

It may also be because Editor Liu feels that Gu Cheng's appearance is much better than Cheng Kun's, and he can challenge "respecting the original work". Therefore, the script in Gu Cheng's hand returned to Jin Yanxi, who was empathetic and abandoned from the beginning.

Dong Jie had read the previous version of the script, so she naturally knew how difficult it would be to change it back, so she was very surprised when she saw it just now, and thought that screenwriter Liu was going to put small shoes on Gu Cheng.

After sorting out the ins and outs of the matter, Gu Cheng didn't think much about it and began to figure it out carefully.

Seeing that he accepted this setting, screenwriter Liu continued to explain sullenly: "Xiao Gu, since you have changed people, you have to see the growth of the changer." If you can't come up with some dry goods, not only will I not be able to lead the team to serve the public in the future, but people outside who don't know the truth will say strange things about you for the rest of their lives......"

Gu Cheng was unhappy for a while, and subconsciously said a very rude truth: "Aunt Liu, you also know, I don't care what people in the TV circle say about me." If it hadn't been for the above forcing me to come this time, I wouldn't have bothered to grab the role of Cheng Kun. ”

"Of course I know you don't care—and I don't care either. You didn't want to act, and I didn't want to use you to act. But since the leader has spoken, we all have to do things well, and people in the rivers and lakes must abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, I see what you mean - anyway, judging from the results, I just robbed Cheng Kun of the role, so I have to prove that I am better than him, and block the crowd, regardless of whether I care about other people's opinions or not. ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people, and I won't bend around with you anymore - I just want you to play a Jin Yanxi who 'not only has to be scum from beginning to end, but also can't be hated by female audiences'. As long as you can control it, you will naturally surpass Cheng Kun and block all rumors. ”

Gu Cheng fell into deep thought, and repeatedly read the script for a long time.

Even Dong Jie, who was on the side, was very worried about him, and secretly thought: "This requirement is too difficult for strong people." How can I be a scum and not be disliked by my sister? If my future boyfriend is the same as Jin Yanxi in the new script, I will definitely kick ......."

Only the young and ignorant Liu Feifei didn't know what was going on, and she was still at a loss.

The initial expectation in Screenwriter Liu's eyes gradually dissipated, and he seemed to sigh: This Gu Cheng is at the level of Cheng Kun at best......

However, after a few minutes, Gu Cheng suddenly spoke: "I have a not-so-mature idea, I think I can set Jin Yanxi's three views as disgust with gate valve marriage and disgust with political marriage. thus laying the groundwork for the split between him and Bai Xiuzhu at the beginning. ”

Gu Cheng's idea actually came from the inspiration of a later film "Inception".

Cobb, the dream thief in that film, was also given an impossible task by his employer: to implant an idea in the mind of the energy magnate Fisher Childe to "destroy the energy empire established by his father".

The Dream Thief knew that it would be impossible to implant this kind of suicidal ideation directly, and that it could only be done in a curve, so he finally chose the idea that "Father does not want Fisher to follow his old path, and he should create his own value and his own life".

The problem that Gu Cheng is facing now is actually the same.

If you want to play the attribute of "scum" in a pleasing way, you must not say that "scum" is good. Rather, it must be disguised with something greater and more worthy of pursuit than love. Let the protagonist conflict with love when pursuing that thing, thus creating the dilemma of "you can't have both", and then the protagonist will "give up love for righteousness".

In this way, the "scum" at the beginning was well and hypocritically covered up to prevent female audiences from abandoning the show. And when the "scum attribute" is detonated in the last few episodes, it will not be as abrupt as the Chengkun version of the script.

Screenwriter Liu's face finally showed a hint of "Interesting": "Let's be specific." ”

Gu Cheng brushed his thoughts for a moment and said unhurriedly: "The background of "The Family of Gold Powder" is the overhead Beiyang. Then Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu in the book should have been born in the Guangxu period and received feudal etiquette when they were young. In this way, we can completely assume that he hastily made a white head appointment with Bai Xiuzhu when the three views were formed and the two were not guessed.

In the early years of the Republic of China, it was a time when the trend of free thought was running around, and the growing Jin Yanxi was also influenced by extreme 'freedom'. He felt that his relationship with Bai Xiuzhu was very empty, and he couldn't tell whether Bai Xiuzhu loved him as a person or as the prime minister's son. So he decided to break free from the cage of political marriage and find a poor woman who was unwilling to cling to the powerful...... This is the so-called 'life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be discarded'. ”

As soon as Gu Cheng said this, Dong Jie couldn't help but interrupt him: "But...... But in this way, isn't Jin Yanxi not a scum?"

Gu Cheng spread his hands: "Of course it's still a scumbag - in the end of the whole play, his father died, the Jin family was defeated, he was afraid of hardship, and he didn't abandon the creed of freedom and return to Bai Xiuzhu, who could give him glory and wealth." So he's just a fantasist. But there is no soul and courage who is willing to practice and endure hardships for the ideal. Isn't it scum that he only pursues freedom in the face of high food and clothing, and is not willing to pursue freedom at the expense of poverty?"

"Scum...... It's scum!" Dong Jie thought about it and finally came to her senses. I was secretly glad in my heart: What a powerful scumbag spokesperson! How could he be so experienced? As soon as he described it, he almost thought that Jin Yanxi was not a scumbag.

Screenwriter Liu's expression finally became solemn.

"I didn't expect this Gu Cheng, not to mention anything else, the depth of experience is by no means comparable to Chengkun. It's really unimaginable how a young man who is less than 18 years old can have such a profound insight. ”
