Chapter 145
Ye Linglan was also one of the key training targets, but his situation was different from Yan Lan's. Dongsheng has many channels to recruit new people over the years, and the film academy will select and accept non-professional personnel, of course, as long as you are talented and creative in acting.
Yan Lan is a non-professional applicant, his major is finance, but he was successfully admitted with good qualifications. As for Ye Linglan, he was the only one in his film school who was admitted to Dongsheng that year.
That year, Ye Linglan and Ye Linglan graduated in the same class.
Looking back at that time, Ye Linglan still had a very weak feeling. Ye Linglan and Ye Linglan are both acting departments. A veteran film critic and actor once said that a good film actor should first be a good drama actor so that he can play well in his films. Therefore, drama is a compulsory course in the acting department.
Ye Linglan has always been the drama champion in the department.
Anyone who has watched a drama or acted in a drama knows that the biggest difference between a drama and a movie is that the movie can use post-processing to make up for the difference in the actors' performances, while the drama is completely a test of the actors' acting skills.
Ye Linglan's drama teacher once said that Ye Linglan's acting skills are comparable to the legendary "Thousand-faced Langjun", and she is comfortable in the transformation of roles.
That year, Dongsheng came to the college to recruit people, Ye Linglan thought that he would definitely be selected, and he did his best to perform during the interview. Who knows, in the end, the person admitted by Dongsheng was Ye Linglan.
Ye Linglan couldn't figure out why this was the case.
A few days later, Sficot also came to recruit people, but Ye Linglan was easily admitted.
It was also at that time that Ye Linglan met Wen Xingying and met the love of his life.
Ye Linglan later learned that Wen Xingying had been participating in the interview behind the scenes as the acting director at that time, and he decided to hire him without going through the retest, and later they became the newcomers that Sphicot focused on cultivating that year, and Ye Linglan became famous after the first movie was broadcast.
Since then, they have been the best partners, encouraging each other and interacting with each other, so much so that four years later, they both became nominees for the Golden Crane Award.
Many people have spread their scandals on the Internet, and the two have also been estranged because of this, but at the same time, they have also discovered each other's hidden feelings.
Ye Linglan has always had a bad relationship with Ye Linglan, even if the two are classmates, they have never been in touch after work.
In fact, Ye Linglan was relieved that Dongsheng admitted Ye Linglan, if Dongsheng admitted herself, wouldn't there be no chance to meet Wen Xingying? This may be the reason why Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if he was blessed.
Ye Linglan was relieved of Ye Linglan, but she didn't want to get closer to him, not to mention, Ye Linglan was also full of hostility towards him.
At that time, Ye Linglan didn't understand why, until he became Ye Linglan, and he fully understood everything about Ye Linglan, and also understood the whole truth about Dongsheng's recruitment back then, and even more understood Ye Linglan's life in Dongsheng in the past few years.
Ye Linglan, is the word "red-faced" very suitable for him? Ye Linglan wanted to pursue the highest honor in the entertainment industry, but Ye Linglan easily got it, does this mean that he has no regrets?
No, Ye Linglan's regret has never been made up. Ye Linglan has become Ye Linglan, and she will always face her regrets.
Heaven is indeed fair, isn't it?
The second film that Ye Linglan wants to make a cameo in is obviously different from "Late".
This "The Biography of Huo Yu" is an alternate historical background, telling the story of the general Huo Yu resisting foreign aggression and defending the territory of the motherland.
Heroes can be said to be the pursuit of a person's life, whether men or women, young and old, if a person's life can be called a hero, it should be eternal glory.
So, the theme of this movie should be more appealing than "Late".
And Ye Linglan is responsible for playing the enemy general who invaded the territory of another country in this "The Legend of Huo Yu".
The filming difficulty of this drama is obviously much more difficult than that of "Late". This is a historical theme, involving many scenes such as the ancient court, official residences, and battlefields, and the scenes are grand and magnificent.
But there is only one scene that Ye Linglan needs to participate in, and that is the battlefield.
Because it was a cameo, the director still adopted the mode of letting Ye Linglan shoot all the scenes he needed to shoot first, that is, to shoot all the war scenes at one time.
This director is different from the previous Director Lu, he is under the command of Dongsheng, much younger than Director Lu, and his works Ye Linglan has watched a few films before, and he still admires him very much.
It can be seen that Dongsheng has still put a lot of effort into the next Golden Crane Award this time, and he is determined to win.
On that day, the sky was high and the clouds were light and the sun was shining, Ye Linglan met Director Cai Yang for the first time, and Yan Lan.
Director Cai is about thirty years old, and his appearance is not outstanding, he belongs to the type that may not take a second look when he walks on the street and meets him ten times. However, once you take a closer look at him, you will see that this person can make a very strong impression on you.
Ye Linglan's first impression of Director Cai was shrewdness. That's right, his eyes are full of such a light, so that you don't dare to provoke, otherwise you will worry about being retaliated against by him day and night. Director Cai is shrewd but not serious, he will not make you feel unapproachable with a straight face, but he will never hook up with you with a hippie smile, his mysterious smile will faintly build a transparent wall in affinity, always make you feel that he is unfathomable, and you will never guess what his next action and language will be.
As for Yan Lan...... Looking at such a face now, Ye Linglan's biggest feeling is that there are talented people in the country. Really, the boy in front of him should be nineteen or twenty years old, as if he is still a college student who has not left school, giving people a feeling of vitality and vigor. Maybe every older person can't help but feel such a sigh when they see young people, because when they are young, there are so many creations and wonderfuls in life, and they are so enviable.
After all, Ye Linglan's prosperity has passed, and Ye Linglan is no longer a material to be made, but the boy in front of him makes people feel that he will have amazing achievements in the future, and he can't help but look forward to it.
The future of showbiz belongs to these young people, doesn't it?
At this time, the three of them stood outdoors, and after greeting for a while, Director Cai instructed them to put on makeup and prepare for filming.
Dongsheng has first-class makeup artists and stylists in China, and their costumes for actors can almost completely meet the requirements of the script and the director for the actors. And Ye Linglan, after all the dresses up, looked at his image in the mirror, and felt that Dongsheng and these people really deserved their reputation.
Ye Linglan is going to play the role of an ethnic minority this time, the folk customs are bold, and the clothes are mainly animal skins. Now Ye Linglan has a slightly unkempt hair, a felt hat on his head, a few wrinkles on his face, a beard sticking to his mouth, and thicker eyebrows, and he has changed from a handsome little brother to a rugged uncle on the grassland. As for clothing, his current clothes are the kind of armor based on animal skins worn by ancient ethnic minorities when they were fighting, with shoulder pads, wrist pads, knee pads, etc., plus a knife curve, he is simply a heroic foreign general.
Today's weather belongs to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is not very cold, and Ye Linglan even feels a little hot wearing these. He changed his clothes and showed them to Director Cai, who nodded his head in satisfaction.
As a result, Ye Linglan basically wore this suit throughout the filming process.
After Director Cai asked the scene reporter, gaffer, and photographer to prepare, the scene officially began.
With wolf smoke and flames, Ye Linglan led his people to invade the neighboring countries, robbed a large amount of property and returned with a full load.
No matter how simple a scene is, it doesn't require any special skills, it's just a few scimitar-wielding movements, because the purpose of this scene is just to pave the way for Huo Yu's appearance later.
However, Ye Linglan and Director Lu both understand a truth, a scene should try to pay attention to the perfection of his details, and should also trigger the audience's thinking through the actors' movements and expressions.
Seeing such a scene, the audience must wonder, what is he invading others for? For fun? For him to be a sadist? Still is...... What else did he suffer?
So, when Ye Linglan rode all over the neighboring cities, Director Cai deliberately gave Ye Linglan's expression a close-up.
Greed and self-confidence.
Why greed? Everyone knows that the Han family has a vast territory, rich resources, fertile land, dozens of times richer than ethnic minorities, who doesn't want to trample him under his feet one day in such a place?
And self-confidence is to let people see the strong ability of this foreign general, and he is quite sure that he can get this piece of land.
However, neither greed nor self-confidence is enough, and there should be another more important expression, that is, desolation.
Yes, desolation. They are nomadic people living in the vast grassland, and their country is like a drop in the ocean compared to the vast Han court, and this desolation will almost be innate.
It is precisely because of this desolation that this character will hold the hearts of the audience as soon as he appears, so that the audience understands that behind his ambition, there is actually a deep loneliness and helplessness, which also adds a lot of thought-provoking factors to this "aggression".
You will find that this drama has almost completely subverted Ye Linglan's image in the minds of the audience, he has always been shown in front of the audience with a young, handsome, and gentle image, and this is the first time that such a heroic and unkempt appearance has appeared.
However, the audience will not hate such an image, because Ye Linglan shows his charm to the fullest.
There are a total of five battle scenes in the whole film, the first two are Ye Linglan leading the crowd to invade the border of the neighboring country, and the general of the neighboring country is powerless to resist, and finally sends the general Huo Yu to fight.
Huo Yu's actor is Yan Lan. The image of a handsome, talented, and god-like young general turned the tide on the border for many years, and finally exchanged for decades of peace on the border.
Ye Linglan and Yan Lan will fight three times, and the first two times were lost by Yan Lan.
In this drama, in fact, there are not many scenes where Ye Linglan appears, but he still leaves an indelible impression on the audience, because he has a characteristic expression every time he appears.
For example, the second time he was triumphant, and the look as if the whole world was already in his pocket made the audience really think that he could take the entire Central Plains.
Also, for the third time, he met Yan Lan. This young player seems to make Ye Linglan a little jealous, but it ignites the desire to conquer, and in the switching of the two expressions, the audience will extremely want to see the duel between the two masters.
This time, Ye Linglan and Yan Lan fought, Ye Linglan cut off Yan Lan's gun with a scimitar, and at the same time as Yan Lan fell to the ground, the audience also saw the scene of Ye Linglan looking up and laughing, which contained a smile full of joy, which made the audience like this man with the refreshing breath of the prairie so much in an instant, as if he was such a simple and pure person.
Then, for the fourth time, Ye Linglan and Yan Lan fought again, this time, the two dismounted and fought, in the dazzling fight, the audience would still see Ye Linglan with a confident smile, and when Ye Linglan knocked Yan Lan to the ground again, he raised his scimitar, as if he raised the only faith in his life, which was the glory he won for his tribe and his nation.
The audience will even think, will Ye Linglan really annex that splendid river and mountain?
……
Finally, the film is coming to an end, the last hand-to-hand, in a vast and endless field, the sky is blue, white clouds are blooming, and I don't know how much blood will be dyed into a bewitching red in this thousands of miles of yellow sand, and I don't know how many heroic souls will mourn on this barren grave in the coming year.
War has always been so cruel, and it is so easy to arouse people's sentimentality.
On the battlefield, the war drums sounded in unison, the shouts were like thunder, the generals on both sides gave an order, and tens of millions of soldiers fought together in an instant.
Ye Linglan on the battlefield is brave and tenacious, one of his scimitars seems to be able to merge with him, his hand rises and falls, the wails of countless soldiers resounded in his ears, Ye Linglan's blood-stained expression was so fanatical, the deep desire of the soul has always tightly affected the hearts of the audience, this war that seems to never end, so unpredictable its outcome.
Ye Linglan, will he win or lose?
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
A feathered arrow pierced the air, piercing through the ...... as everyone watched nervously Ye Linglan's heart!
With a "bang", Ye Linglan fell off the horse.
The audience's hearts tightened for a moment, and they watched in disbelief at the scene of the man lying on his back on the ground!
In the picture, it is Ye Linglan's memories, and his life's journey is on that vast and verdant prairie.
What a beautiful grassland, laughter, songs spread thousands of miles, there are mother's earnest admonitions, there are friends and friends, there are all the joys and sorrows of the world. That grassland, full of hopes and memories, will it only be a beautiful scenery in memory from now on?
Ye Linglan's smile fell in front of him.
He seems to be the only one on the vast grassland, and his smile overlaps with the grassland, which is the guardian of a lifetime.
The sky is so clear, the sound of the waves in the world is still there, and there is nothing wrong with me being able to watch my beloved grassland in the sky forever.
I was born in the grassland, and I should always be by my side, this is my resting home......
Ye Linglan's eyes were closed, and the faint green color of the grassland was engraved in everyone's hearts from then on.
"The Legend of Huo Yu" was released three weeks later than "Late", and it also received a very high box office in the first week.
This is a very large-scale historical masterpiece, the scene is magnificent and magnificent, showing the growth process of General Huo Yu from youth to youth, fully expressing the idea of "heroes from ancient times out of youth", and showing patriotism to the fullest.
However, a week later, the film's box office actually had a downward trend.
There is no other reason, some netizens commented on the Internet that the role Ye Linglan played in such a movie, if not a villain, is at least a passerby, and the director deliberately added so many more shots to him, so that his close-up, which adds up to less than five minutes, actually surpassed the status of the protagonist in the hearts of the audience, and in the end, no one celebrated the protagonist when he died. Could it be that Dongsheng meant to encourage the kind of aggression of Ye Linglan's character when he made this kind of movie?
This kind of remarks circulated on the Internet, and other netizens' comments were mixed, but it is true that many people decided not to watch this movie after thinking about it for a while, lest the heroism in their minds be subverted, but they also sympathized with the role of Ye Linglan.
Ye Linglan naturally knew this statement, and to be honest, he was very sad.
How many people who made this kind of remark were really from the perspective of the film, and how many were for Heiye Linglan and Dongsheng, he didn't know, but the role he used all his efforts to play was called such an infamy, and I believe no one would feel good.
From Ye Linglan's point of view, he doesn't think that the setting of this character has the meaning of encouraging aggression, because in the end, he was killed by the protagonist after all, and the country was defeated, and they paid a heavy price for this aggression, how can this be to encourage aggression?
As for the director's close-up and memories of his expressions, life is inherently unequal, everyone will have the instinct to resist, not to mention that this is a struggle between ethnic groups within a country, which has been numerous since ancient times, and the director also wants to express the helplessness hidden behind the fact that the people of which country invaded other countries, reflecting the social reality at that time, and war also has the effect of promoting unification.
In addition, regarding the issue of that character stealing the limelight from the protagonist, Ye Linglan only felt that he couldn't say anything, and he didn't want to comment on anything.
Two days later, it was the weekend, that afternoon, Ye Linglan went to the cinema on purpose, this is also the first time Ye Linglan lost at the box office, when he was not in the camp before, most of the audience supported his movies, they didn't particularly like it, and they didn't dislike it, and this time, he wanted to come to the cinema to see it, I believe it would not be surprising.
