At this time, Sirui's voice sounded in his mind, and he explained to Gu Xiaofan:

"A TV series with many characters is composed of various different characters, namely cutscene supporting roles, featured supporting roles, supporting roles, core roles, negative roles, main characters, and six different roles......"

"How can there be so many classifications?" Gu Xiaofan was stupid when he heard it, in the previous textbooks, there were only two categories of protagonists and supporting roles, even traditional dramas were only divided into five categories, but this Sirui was good, and it was divided into six categories at once. 【No Pop-up Novel Network】樂文novel|

Si Rui continued: "For the sake of ease of understanding for the operator, I will take the work "Huanzhu Gege" as an example.

Among these six categories, the 'cutscene supporting role' has the lowest requirements, only the lines, image, and limbs can reach 60, it is the lightest role, there are not many lines, mainly to increase the fullness of the story, and it does not affect the core plot, such as ministers such as Ji Xiaolan, as well as small tables, small stools and other little eunuchs...... It's all of this type.

The 'featured supporting role' at the next level is the character who will affect the direction of the plot, and the 'featured supporting role' must highlight the character's sense of existence, even if there is only one scene, a line must be remembered by someone.

This requires that the 'characteristic supporting role' needs to reach 75 in any one of 'lines', 'body', and 'appearance', such as Xiangfei, who has few scenes and a prominent appearance, and Liu Qing, an action character based on "limbs", etc.......

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but say in his heart when he heard this: "I understand, these two should be supporting roles with few scenes...... Passing actors in supporting roles are fine, and special supporting roles must be distinctive. ”

Sirui continued, "The 'support role', the 'core role', the 'negative role', and the 'main role' are all crucial roles. ”

Gu Xiaofan said: "I know this 'main role', that is, according to the different types of works, on the premise of meeting the acting standards, different personality traits are required, mainly to show charm, no matter how much acting skills there are, the audience will not like them without personality traits." Sirui had explained this concept to him before.

Si Rui said: "The operator's statement is basically correct, the main character is responsible for the perspective and feeling of the audience in a work, so the main condition is the sense of emotional substitution, if there is no personality trait, the emotion will appear pale, and all having specific 'personality traits' is the most important."

The 'innocence' required by idol dramas, the 'hero' required by hero films, and the 'joy' of comedies...... are all necessary.

For example, the little swallow in Huanzhu Gege, Ziwei, and the fifth elder brother have the characteristics of 'innocence' at the same time. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaofan felt a little wrong: "Wait, why is there no Erkang?" Isn't he the main character? ”

"He's not." Sirui replied:

"This character, like Mama Rong, is a supporting role, and they exist to set off the protagonist's emotional outburst." “

Gu Xiaofan felt very strange when he heard it, Er Kang and Mama Rong are of the same type?

"Supporting characters are often the catalyst in the story, they are often around the main character, they have a lot of rivalry with the main character, they have to have first-class 'emotional control', and their own acting personality traits will lead the protagonist to perform different emotional outbursts."

Gu Xiaofan immediately looked at the values of Zhou Jie and Li Mingqi, and their highest values were indeed "emotional control", both of which exceeded 80.

Yes, Er Kang and Mama Rong played a role in the catalyst for emotional outbursts in various plots, and when they were there, they were the most brilliant scenes of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, and almost all of the impressive crying scenes were inspired by them.

"The auxiliary role should be the most important role that is by the side of the protagonist and makes the protagonist shine, and because of its emotional explosive plot, it will also be the most memorable character for the audience. If the performance is good, it will even give the impression of surpassing the main character.

If it is an idol drama, in the setting of two men and two women, the second male next to the heroine is usually this kind of auxiliary role. Sirui explained.

Gu Xiaofan finally has a clear understanding, even if the requirement of the auxiliary role is to highlight "emotional control", it seems that this role is to set off the protagonist...... Like those golden supporting roles, Wu Mengda, Liu Peiqi, etc...... They all belong to this genre, and they can take the protagonist up a notch.

"Isn't the role of the antagonist similar to that of the secondary character?" Gu Xiaofan asked, the negative character should also exist to set off the protagonist, like the "queen" in Huanzhu Gegege, who also has similar attributes to Mama Rong.

"It can be said that the antagonist character is slightly different from the supporting role in that the antagonist character does not need emotional control, but the level of comprehensive performance must surpass that of the protagonist, and at the same time, it must have a distinct acting personality trait, which must be contrasted with the protagonist......

Therefore, the antagonist character is actually another form of the protagonist, and unlike the auxiliary characters, they do not exist for the protagonist, but a real world, and if the performance is excellent, they will change the attributes of the overall story.

Although their attributes are defined as 'going against the wishes of the majority, the standards of goodness and morality in people's minds', once there are antagonists who show extraordinary performance charm in the story, they instead reverse people's inner values and become the de facto 'protagonists' in the story......"

Listening to this Si Rui's explanation, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but deeply understand, whether it was the clown in "The Dark Knight", Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs", or Wang Zhiwen in "Black Gold", and Sun Honglei in "Conquest......

They are all "negative characters" from the beginning, directly reversing people's values, making people stand on their side in their hearts, completely overpowering all the "positive protagonists......

If the protagonist is the other characters who build the whole world to help him succeed...... So the antagonist is the enemy of the whole world...... But once defeated, then the antagonist creates his own world.

Gu Xiaofan felt fascinated just thinking about it, and he was the enemy of the other actors in the whole story...... What a powerful performance it must be.

After the five major roles were explained, only the last one remained, and it was also the most confused role for Gu Xiaofan.

"Sirui, what do you mean by this 'core role'? What is the difference between him and the main character, the villain? ”

This is the most incomprehensible thing for Gu Xiaofan, it seems that the previous five characters can already form a story, and what is the need for this "core role" to exist.

"The central character doesn't have to be there, but at the same time, it's arguably the most important presence in the whole drama." Sirui defines this role.

What do you mean? Isn't this logic a contradiction? Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard this
