Chapter 673: Peak Duel
can come, not only has the intention of acting with zero salary in his heart, but with a shooting budget of 500,000 yuan in addition to the actors, at the beginning, Yang Yichen did not plan to invest too much in actors, so it is naturally impossible to invite some big names to play the roles.
However, since Yang Yichen took the initiative to invest in dividends with remuneration, no one will pretend to say that we don't want it, how much I don't ask in my heart, and I won't ask, the attention is in Yang Yichen's previous words, very conflicting and contradictory social issues, making a movie is a sharp double-edged sword, it will definitely cause a wide range of discussions, such themes and scripts are unavoidable for most of them, not afraid of being discussed, and show their acting skills in the center of the storm of contradictions, so that everyone recognizes and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. That's what an actor does.
The script is filled with a lot of dialogue, each member has a contradiction, and they all have the opportunity to show themselves alone, and the state is a bit like the current occasion, if you enter the role, completely in this small conference room, you can officially read the whole plot of the play, and if you have a camera, you can actually shoot it here.
Yang Yichen sat there quietly, he also picked up the script again, looked at these actors, and then looked at the characters in the script, which needed to be fine-tuned, especially in terms of styling, etc., it could be more restrained, relying on the excellent acting skills of many actors, showing the character characteristics and professional characteristics that were not sharply expressed.
With good actors, the state of the entire script naturally has to be changed to a certain extent, Yang Yichen certainly doesn't think that this group of good actors can't make a good movie, how to give full play to the greatest characteristics of good actors, and how to completely fit them together with the roles one by one. He also needs time to recomb, right now. In this situation, you can see everyone when you look up. In such an atmosphere, if you re-watch the script, you will find that many character portrayals that I thought were good in the past seem to be superficial and seem to be too formalized.
The script is not long, and it could be shorter if it weren't for the background introduction of the characters mixed with the characters. Twelve characters, twelve professions that reflect all levels of society, twelve characters who can generally represent the majority of voices from all walks of life.
In fact, after reading the script, everyone basically has a little understanding of the role they are going to play, and compared with the actors present, their positioning is relatively accurate.
Juror No. 1 is also a teaching assistant in the school, and Huang Lei is very suitable.
The mathematics professor on the second is played by Zhang Jiayi.
No. 3 is also the male No. 2 in this play, a taxi driver. Chen Zhiming to play.
No. 4 real estate businessman, a happy and successful businessman who has true love with a female student, is played by Uncle Ge.
The man who squatted on the fifth and was wronged, there is no doubt about it. Sun Honglei is the best choice.
The No. 6 emergency room doctor, played by Zhang Hanyu.
The owner of the No. 7 commissary, played by Little Steel Cannon.
Number Eight is also the protagonist. Yang Yichen plays the role.
The ninth old man, played by Zhang Guoli in makeup.
No. 10 old Yanjing people. A very annoying guy in the play, Wang Zhiwen plays it.
Eleven University Security. Played by Huang Bo.
No. 12 insurance salesman, played by Hu Junlai.
Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, since they are here, they all want to play a characteristic role, otherwise how to stand out in such a star lineup, it will be a shame to be reduced to passers-by and background cloth.
When everyone read the script for the first time, it was generally recognized that Juror No. 1, Juror No. 2, Juror No. 11 and Juror No. 12 were relatively weak in their roles, and there were not enough heavy scenes.
After reading it for the first time, they immediately began to analyze the details of each character word by word, and soon they found that these twelve characters, there may be three and eight absolute protagonists who can be seen by anyone, but the remaining ten characters are not weak, maybe in a shot, others are the protagonists, but as long as the camera is brought to you, the expressions you give will largely bring richer connotations to this scene.
There are no weak roles, only weak actors, although almost none of these people in the field have played very small supporting roles, but they all understand this truth, the smaller the role and the weaker the role, that is the biggest display of your level.
This group of people, even the late-blooming Zhang Jiayi and Zhang Hanyu have not been mixed for a day or two, not to mention Chen Zhiming's generation of Wang Zhiwen, in the history of mainland film and television dramas, this group of people has a strong color, they represent an era, and Huang Bo, Hu Jun, Sun Honglei, this group of people is another era, bringing such a large number of people together, before the performance starts, it is already sparks, eyes are paired, and they don't eat dinner, after two or three times, they actually began to play directly in this small conference room, and start the performance in paragraphs.
"Eat first, I don't plan to delay everyone's time, early the day after tomorrow, I will prepare the shooting venue and start filming directly, I think you all have no problem, right?"
Everyone understands the meaning of Yang Yichen's words, since you are so confident, then we will simply omit some complicated processes and go directly to the most murderous scene to shoot.
This kind of scene, basically who is wrong and who blushes, it is absolutely done in one go after filming, and multiple machine assistance can also allow multiple shots to exist at the same time, capturing the best feeling, to put it bluntly, when you don't shoot you, you also have to be in the state of the character.
They are all old drama bones, and they all have their own pride, and suddenly they are playing against so many good opponents, even Uncle Ge Chen Zhiming is very excited in his heart, and there will be some separate cooperation on weekdays, but there has never been so many people gathered together, and if the rival drama comes to the last one, it will be enjoyable to think about it.
After dinner in the company canteen, everyone is a shallow taste, two or two wines or two bottles of beer, they will leave, at night the small steel cannon has to run to Yang Yichen's house to form a bureau, at a glance at this situation, the point in his heart disapproving quickly disappeared, as the only non-professional actor among everyone, he suddenly felt the pressure coming, these guys are all soaring, if they show their cowardice, it will be a shame, this drama must be very enjoyable to shoot, and then he will have to grab the director position of Chen Zai, With so many actors in the same scene, there are indeed not many people who have this appeal in Huaxia, the key is that there is no problem with everyone's schedule in this play, it is enough to spend two or three days, the characters are figured out, and the whole play will become.
That night, Yang Yichen did not go back to the villa, nor did he go to the courtyard, the little grandfather is now in the northwest, where the spring military training, joint exercises, the little grandfather is the chief consultant, busy and dark, without the little grandfather's courtyard, it seems deserted, and he is not very willing to go back.
Just in the company, in the office, leaning back in the chair, on the table are pages of paper and script materials with some words written on hand, and a small moving blackboard with a white background is placed on the side, on which the characteristics of the twelve people are listed, he originally hoped that he could make certain changes to the characters in the script in the shortest possible time, but after writing the actors and roles on the blackboard, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to need it.
The role positioning is there, the role is there, the characteristics are there, and the rest is still up to consider for them? I don't dare to say that those eleven have the level of an actor-level pseudo-actor, at least they are not the kind of actors who read from the script, it is not an exaggeration to call them old drama bones, these people get together, do they still need others to position every line and every expression for them?
Free to play.
Thinking of these four words, Yang Yichen suddenly became enlightened, he is the most irresponsible director, but he put his identity as a director for more than an hour, directly put it aside, and directly began to study his role, as the axis of the whole play, Juror No. 8 is also the male protagonist who is the supervision officer, and he needs to change the other eleven people surrounded by questioning, anger, guidance, puzzle solving, etc., and change their thoughts in the entire case, which needs to be persuaded one by one, and let them change one by one. In the face of one after another remarks, behaviors and even radical performances against him, he tried his best to control his emotions to continue to guide everyone to talk about it in a real sense.
It can be seen from the fact that this character in the script can't control his emotions and gets angry several times, he is not a savior, he is just an ordinary person, with the joys, sorrows, sorrows and grievances of ordinary people, and he will explode when he can't bear it anymore, and he will also do some radical behaviors in the eyes of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that this character has more layers of emotional expression and character psychological activities, and is not a god who simply sits here from the perspective of God.
Analysis of the various points of doubt in the case, the most wonderful thing is that all these points are not completely overturned, there are doubts, and according to everyone's analysis, this doubt will be very big, under the premise of such a big doubt, regardless of whether they have sufficient evidence to prove the suspect's innocence, they only need to find out the doubts in the existing evidence, and they do not need to overturn it completely, their mission is completed, presenting to all audiences what the real presumption of innocence looks like, and letting everyone know that in front of the law, Not a little personal emotion is allowed to be mixed in, and every detail must be strictly examined, and the final conclusion must be one that will not be questioned in the slightest.
found a point, Yang Yichen began to break through the role, and then broke through the entire script, and then compared the original version of the later generations in his memory at the same time, the whole person was soon in a state of excitement, took out the pen, and recorded his perception of this role and even the whole play, it was really a state of complete ignorance of the passage of time, until Song Meiru and the secretary came in, he suddenly realized that it was already the next day's work time, opened the blackout curtains, and the warm sunlight shrouded the entire office in an instant......
