Chapter 172: Is it appropriate for Xu Zhen to play Zhou Yu
Just when a few David video channels surrounded Xu Zhen and asked him all kinds of questions, the team on Penguin Video's side did not rush forward, but retreated to the side and checked the tidbits that had just been filmed.
"Xiaojing, look, how is your Brother Zhao's craftsmanship?"
A middle-aged man wearing a dark green photographer's vest held up the DV in his hand and said triumphantly: "Isn't it inferior to a professional photographer?" β
A short-haired girl on the side stepped forward, showed an admiring smile very cooperatively, and gave a thumbs up: "Amazing, Brother Zhao, you are simply a photographer who has been delayed by leadership!" β
When the middle-aged man in the vest heard this, he raised his chin proudly, but said modestly: "No, no, I haven't taken a camera for many years, and my craftsmanship is rusty." β
"I think when your brother Zhao was in college, he was the head of the Propaganda Department, and he ran out with the camera every day. At that time, we still used ......"
The short-haired girl on the side listened very carefully.
The short-haired girl's name is Yang Lijing, and she is the entertainment of Penguin Films.
- That is, the reporter who went to the crew of "Wen Liangzhu" to interview.
At the same time, she also has a hidden identity that no one knows: the Flower Fish Party.
The "Brother Zhao" wearing a vest is called Zhao Tiangang, an executive of Penguin Video.
Because Yang Lijing's eyesight is well-known in Penguin Video, when she took the initiative to interview the crew of "Three Kingdoms" this time, Zhao Tiangang also followed her out of trust in her.
This is used to determine whether to consider investing in the crew of "Three Kingdoms".
In order to avoid the drama party seeing the importance of their penguin video, Zhao Tiangang pretended to be the "photographer" of the interview team and followed Yang Lijing to act together.
Zhao Tiangang also deliberately went to get a thief professional photographer vest, and felt that his "role-playing" was very well done.
In this regard, Yang Lijing just wants to say hehe.
- Please, do you think an entertainment reporter would really dress like you?
People's professional entertainment records are all "plainclothes", which is convenient for cheap work on the set!
It's good for you to wear a vest, not to mention, there is a big "penguin video" printed on the back, I'm afraid others won't know which unit you belong to.
Following such a leader on a mission, Yang Lijing felt extremely tired.
Zhao Tiangang looked at Xu Zhen, who was being interviewed, rubbed his chin, and said, "Xu Zhen is really good as an actor." β
"I have watched the "Wen Liangzhu" starring him, the image and acting skills are good, and when it will be released in two days, I plan to arrange A+ level recommended resources for him."
"But ......"
As he spoke, Zhao Tiangang changed his words and said, "Xu Zhen is still a little tender when he plays Zhou Yu." β
"The image is in line with it, but the age is too young. In particular, Zhuge Liang was played by Chen Zhenghao. β
"Zhuge Liang is older than Zhou Yu, I don't think this casting is very suitable."
As soon as she heard this, Yang Lijing's face next to her immediately changed.
Uncle dared, he even questioned my eldest nephew playing Zhou Yu?
She turned her head to look at Zhao Tiangang, still with a warm smile on her face, but her eyes were inexplicably sharper, and said, "Brother Zhao, do you usually listen to Peking Opera?" β
Zhao Tiangang was stunned when he heard this, and said: "My old man is a ticket holder, but I don't hear much - why do you ask?" β
Yang Lijing said calmly: "In Peking Opera, 'Zhou Yu' is a young student, and 'Zhuge Liang' is an old student, even when the two characters are on the same stage, they are dressed like this. β
"This shows that in the traditional folk cognition, Zhou Yu is more tender than Zhuge Liang."
"In addition, in the old version of "Three Kingdoms", the actor who played Zhuge Liang was also much older than Zhou Yu's actor."
"These two characters later became classics, which also proves from the side that the people don't think that such casting is a mistake of principle."
Yang Lijing's speech speed was not fast, her voice was soft and soft, but her attitude in her words was quite resolute, and she said: "And what we are seeing now is Xu Zhen outside the play, and when he is in the play, the spirit of the character can affect his sense of age to a large extent." β
"For example, "Blue Blood Sword" - "Blue Blood Sword", Brother Zhao, have you read it? A while ago, CCTV eight sets of hit dramas. β
"Xu Zhen was only 19 years old when he played 'Golden Snake Langjun', but when you look at the final shooting effect, do you think he is young? I thought it was very harmonious anyway, and I looked like a young man in his twenties. β
ββ¦β¦β
On the side, Zhao Tiangang listened to Yang Lijing's reasoned and well-founded analysis, and nodded subconsciously, feeling that what she said did make some sense.
But listening to it, Zhao Tiangang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Yang, why do you know Xu Zhen so well?" Are you a fan of his? β
Yang Lijing's face froze, and she immediately denied it: "How come, I just knew that I was going to interview "Three Kingdoms" today, so I just went through all the information of the main actors in advance. β
"Don't believe me, tell you about Jiang Gan's actor?"
Zhao Tiangang laughed, of course he wouldn't really let her prove her innocence.
And Yang Lijing's face did not change, her heart did not beat, and she completely believed her own sophistry.
Well, there's nothing wrong with that!
I'm a CP fan, not a fan of Xu Zhen!
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, the brief interview ended, and Xu Zhen entered the set with the other actors involved in the scene.
For the filming of the scene "Heroes Meeting", Xu Zhen was a little pressured.
This pressure does not come from outside TV stations and reporters, but from the old version of "Three Kingdoms".
This is not the first time Xu Zhen has starred in a remake.
"The Peerless Twins" and "Blue Blood Sword" have had several versions, and the roles he has played have also been played by many well-known actors.
Before filming "The Peerless Twins" and "Blue Blood Sword", Xu Zhen had turned out the previous classic versions and watched them several times, carefully figuring out how the predecessors played this role.
However, the old version of "Three Kingdoms" ......
Xu Zhen only watched it once, and then he didn't dare to look at it again.
There are two reasons for this.
First, the old version of Zhou Yu is a classic film and television image that has been widely recognized by the public, and has many fans. If you are influenced by it and are contaminated with the old version of performance habits in your performance, this is not called "tribute", this is called Dong Shi Xiaofeng.
In particular, Xu Zhen is very confident in his ability to "emulate".
As long as he is asked to watch it again, Xu Zhen dares to say that even if he invites the actor who played Zhou Yu back then, he will not be able to act more like him back then.
Second, the actors of the old version of "Three Kingdoms" are all found from major repertory troupes.
Throughout the TV series, all the actors' performances tend to be in a drama style, full of emotions and strong dramatic conflicts.
However, the style of the version of "Three Kingdoms" that I am currently filming is more inclined to modern film and television dramas, and if I dare to learn from the old version, it will definitely be a serious mismatch in the painting style.
Because of this, Xu Zhen not only can't refer to Zhou Yu in the old version of "Three Kingdoms", but has to work hard to overcome the influence of his predecessors.
In the case of Zhuyu in the past, how to use his performance to play a brand-new, flesh-and-blood "Zhou Yu", which is recognized by the outside world, is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Xu Zhen.
And the section of "The Heroes Will Meet Jiang Ganzhong" is one of the highlights of the old version of Zhou Yu.
To this end, Xu Zhen has done all the efforts he can do, reading the original book, reading the script, writing a short biography of the characters, writing a special analysis of the "Heroes Club", discussing the performance method with Director Chu, finding a movement director to learn sword dance, and repeatedly practicing this scene in private......
So much so that Gao Bo always laughs at him now, saying that the sword that Zhou Yu danced on the "Heroes Meeting" is now a trick that anyone in Jiangdong can play.
Xu Zhen: "......"
You're so boring, if you don't like to learn my plays, then I can't help it.
A few minutes later, Xu Zhen adjusted his state, and the shooting officially began.
The first thing to shoot is the shot of Zhou Yu greeting Jiang Gan outside the tent.
Jiang Gan was originally Cao Cao's adviser, and this time he crossed the river with the intention of persuading Zhou Yu to surrender.
This scene is a location scene, the location is located outside the "Jiangdong Daying", and the scene is quite magnificent.
The people sent by the TV station to watch the film stood on the sidelines, looking at each other, only to see that Jiang Gan's actor was pacing back and forth outside the camp with his hands on his hands, and only a small guy was beside him;
After a while, before Zhou Yu appeared, a group of soldiers in armor and swords took the lead in rushing out of the camp and lined up on both sides of the road.
After that, I saw a group of civil servants and military generals slowly coming from the camp tent.
The first person was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with a downright figure and a beautiful appearance, which was Zhou Yu played by Xu Zhen.
Seeing this scene, not only Jiang Gan in the play was shocked, but the onlookers outside were also intimidated by this momentum.
ββWhere did Jiang Gan get the courage to dare to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender?
Look at what kind of status people have in Jiangdong!
