Chapter 434: Fengnan Squad
Several little girls looked at Xu Zhen suspiciously, and finally walked away hesitantly.
"Hey, he really looks like hey," one of the girls muttered quietly, "I should have taken a picture of him just now and posted it on the Internet, and it would have been liked." ”
Her companion waved his hand and said, "Forget it, how can you take pictures of strangers casually?" You're not a perverted stalker. ”
As they walked, these people couldn't help but look at Xu Zhen's back in front of them, and muttered with their fingers: "I don't think it should be." ”
"His accent, when you hear it, he is from Taiwan, and he is from Tainan, it is impossible for Sect Master Mei to speak such an authentic way."
A few people next to him also whispered: "And you see that he is also dressed very ordinary, his hair is not done, and he has no makeup, how can a big star look like this in public?" ”
"Aren't celebrities taking photos at the airport all to pose? There are a lot of security guards next to you. ”
As soon as she said this, several other companions immediately added with a smile: "Yes, yes, and I have to hire a 'fan' to pick up the airport, holding a light sign, and shouting 'I love you' below!" And then screamed desperately hahaha......"
“……”
A few little girls chatted happily in the back, while in front, the crew of "I Want to See You" tried their best to hold back their laughter, so they didn't laugh out loud on the spot.
Xu Zhen continued to chat with his companions casually, smiling a little helplessly.
Airport photos? Hire a security guard? Hire fans??
Sorry, there is no such business.
In the past two years, Xu Zhen's team has never made efforts to build momentum for his popularity, but has desperately tried to conceal his true itinerary in case his daily life is disturbed.
However, Xu Zhen just deliberately said that he was not "Mei Changsu", not just out of this consideration, but also because he wanted to test whether his accent was up to standard.
Now it seems that the results are not bad, which makes him quite satisfied.
Although "I Want to See You" is a cross-strait co-production, after all, the story background is Taiwan Island, and if you have to find someone to dub an urban drama, it will be too unprofessional.
Xu Zhen's Taiwanese accent is relatively relaxed, because in order to film "Orphaned", he deliberately lived at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain for nearly a month, and then stayed for a long time when he was officially filming.
The accent in southern Fujian is relatively close to that of Taiwan itself, and Xu Zhen deliberately made some adjustments after that, before finally reaching the current level.
It is definitely impossible to say that it is absolutely authentic, but it is enough for filming, because if there is something lame in the future, the people around him can correct it for him in time.
After leaving the airport, the crew had already sent a car to pick them up.
"I Want to See You" has not yet started at this time, so the crew did not directly pull Xu Zhen to the set, but first drove him to the neighborhood to play around and appreciate the local customs.
Xu Zhen visited the National Palace in Taipei under the guidance of a guide, went to the landmark 101 building, and ate some local food and snacks.
Walking around, Xu Zhen looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and the biggest feeling about this place was: it really looks like southern Fujian......
Whether it's the climatic conditions, eating habits, accents, or the traffic conditions everywhere, they are all very similar.
Locals may cite 180 reasons to explain the differences between the two places, but for Xu Zhen, a native of Ganzhou, it cannot be said that it is very similar, it can only be said that it is exactly the same......
I used to eat fried oysters when I was in Qingyuan Mountain, and I can continue to eat them when I get here.
Xu Zhen fried oysters and looked at a motorcycle repair shop on the street, inexplicably having the illusion that he could continue to work.
……
On January 6th, the group ended a simple tour and finally set off for the filming location of "I Want to See You".
Xu Zhen looked at the itinerary provided for him by the crew, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the filming locations of our drama are mainly in Tainan?" ”
Shi Wenwen, the assistant director who followed him all the way, explained with a smile: "Yes, 70% of them are in Tainan. ”
"Mr. Xu may not know much, Tainan is a historical and cultural name, with beautiful scenery and many very beautiful old streets."
"When we shoot some dramas with a sense of age, we usually go to Tainan to shoot."
At this time, Xiao Chen, the guide on the side, added: "Yes, and in order to promote economic development, there are policy subsidies for TV series filming, which can save a lot of money." ”
Assistant Director Shi Wenwen: "......"
Xu Zhen raised his head and looked at the assistant director's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but smile.
This crew is good! Will live!
That's right, it's almost the same anywhere, so why not go to a cheap place?
I really should let the few losers I have worked with study well with others!
……
The start time of "I Want to See You" is set for January 12th.
On the way to the filming location, Xu Zhen walked all the way, flipped through the script all the way, and continued to write the biography of the character Li Ziwei.
Xu Zhen feels that he has also gone through several stages of writing character biographies.
The first time he officially understood the significance of writing a character biography was when he was filming "Blue Blood Sword", when he watched the first-person character biography written by Brother Hao, and wrote that Xia Xueyi saw that his house was destroyed with his own eyes, and it felt like opening the door to a new world.
Since then, he has learned how to immerse himself in the psychology of the characters, and has developed a deeper empathy for the characters than before.
And Li Ziwei's ......
He started writing character biographies after he decided to take on this drama, and he has written almost 200,000 words so far.
Xu Zhen feels that if he wants to be a teacher in the future and teach his juniors how to write a biography, he will definitely use Li Ziwei's biography as a model text.
- Because the experience of this character is simply too complicated.
And to experience this person's life by writing a short biography is really too helpful for the performance, and it can be said to be indispensable.
In high school, Li Ziwei was a carefree and simple teenager, with a wealthy family and free and easy sunshine, just a blank sheet of paper;
Then, the girl he likes dies, his best friend is taken away as a suspect, and the world changes dramatically overnight.
Later, he was in a car accident, traveled to the future, and died in a plane crash 10 years later, returning to his own body after the car accident;
Nan Ke had a dream that was like a lifetime away, he had to face a disabled body and endless pain, and then witnessed his friend jump to his death in despair after being released from prison......
Xu Zhen wrote later, and even had a feeling that he could no longer bear his life.
He couldn't help but think of the previous film critics who commented on his role as Zhou Yu, saying that Zhou Yu's biggest "luck" was that he died so early.
At a young age, he died young, was admired by thousands of people when he was alive, mourned by the whole world when he died, and is still remembered by future generations thousands of years after his death.
Xu Zhen didn't understand it back then, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly feels very reasonable.
The biggest regret in life has never been the unpaid ambition, but the end of the hero, the twilight of the beauty, all the beauty of the past has turned into a cloud of smoke, the light in life has dimmed one by one, and finally only the lonely self remains.
Many times, being alive is more uncomfortable than dying.
……
On January 7th, Xu Zhen and his entourage finally came to Tainan, and the staff of the props team and camera crew had already entered the group in advance at this time, and were making final adjustments and arrangements to some of the filming locations involved in the play.
Before filming, Xu Zhen still had an important task to complete at this time: to determine the shape of the character.
There is only one actor, Xu Zhen, but there are as many as four groups of looks that need to be determined: Li Ziwei in high school, Li Ziwei who traveled to the future and lived as "Wang Quansheng", middle-aged Li Ziwei after the car accident, and the real Wang Quansheng.
Among them, the most difficult is the middle-aged Li Ziwei.
Xu Zhen himself is not yet 23 years old, but for him to play the feeling of a middle-aged man, the makeup should not only highlight the sense of age but not be too deliberate, which is a very big challenge for stylists and actors.
Of course, this is not the first time Xu Zhen has played a middle-aged man.
Zhou Yu, Zhu Chuanwu, Gong Shu and other characters have a very large age span, and when they finally die, they will almost reach the age of thirty or forty.
But these characters are all played from teenagers to middle age, and the timeline is not broken.
And the age groups of the male protagonist in "I Want to See You" are independent, dotted, and have no continuity, so there needs to be a clear distinction between each stage.
Xu Zhen watched the stylist grab his hair and tinker for a long time, the more outrageous it became, and finally couldn't help but say: "Teacher, either you don't make up first, let's cooperate." ”
The stylist was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "How to cooperate?" ”
Xu Zhen said: "I'll first find the state of the performance, and perform 'Li Ziwei', and then you see what is missing, and then use makeup to make up for it, do you think it's okay?" ”
The stylist didn't really understand what he meant, but since he said it, he didn't object and stopped for the time being.
Xu Zhen raised his head and nodded to the stylist with a smile, and then quietly looked at the makeup mirror opposite.
He slowly retracted the smile on his face, his eyes began to lose focus, and the corners of his mouth that had been raised upwards began to droop downward.
Xu Zhen looked at himself in the mirror and exhaled softly, the heat in his breath blurred the mirror in front of him.
A moment later, when his face appeared again in the mirror, Xu Zhen raised his eyes again and looked at himself in the mirror, his gray eyes no longer had half a minute of brilliance, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Behind Xu Zhen, the stylist looked at this scene in the mirror and suddenly felt a little creepy.
- What's the situation?
Am I on the scene of a horror movie?
"Squeak-"
Just then, there was a knock on the powder room door.
The heroine He Jiayan pushed the door in, and just wanted to speak, but subconsciously stopped.
She was brushing her bangs at this time, and she wanted to find a stylist to blow it again, but she unfortunately saw this scene just now, and couldn't help but shiver solidly.
"This ...... Is it Mr. Xu? ”
After a long time, He Jiayan finally stepped forward, looked tentatively at Xu Zhen in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Hello? ”
[The following is the unfinished part, please read it in 15 minutes...... I swear it's the last time, it's really the last time, I don't dare in the future, I really don't dare, I must finish writing before(╥_╥)12 o'clock.
He couldn't help but think of the previous film critics who commented on his role as Zhou Yu, saying that Zhou Yu's biggest "luck" was that he died so early.
At a young age, he died young, was admired by thousands of people when he was alive, mourned by the whole world when he died, and is still remembered by future generations thousands of years after his death.
