Since Wang Shuo handed it into his hands, this has not left the bedside.

Jiang Wen has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has seen a lot of good books, but he was attracted by it at first sight.

He wrote while reading, and the structure was not complicated, he was writing down his understanding of the character of Wang Qiming.

In the past few days, he has written more than 200,000 words in the character biography alone, which is more than the number of words in the original book.

The character of Wang Qiming, seeing that he was full of anger and sorrow, in this character, he clearly saw the arc of the character.

What is a character arc?

In Jiang Wen's own view, "character arc" is a technique often used by screenwriters, specifically "character arc" refers to the change of the character's nature, including good changes and bad changes.

The most touching moment of a character is what the audience sees that can make the character "sublimated" when the plot "reversal" occurs on him.

For example, in Stephen Chow's films, he may not mean to, but he can often see in the protagonist that it may not be rich, but it is extraordinarily distinct, and even has contrasting changes.

In "Kung Fu", the protagonist goes from a street ruffian who makes a mistake to finally wakes up and becomes a hero.

"Su Qi'er" tells the story of an exaggerated and domineering rich young master, who began to restrain when his family was defeated, and then worked hard to be admitted to the martial arts champion.

In "Journey to the West", it is a change from a person who plans to partner with monsters to eat his master Tang Seng, become the king of the mountain after reincarnation, and learn about a series of past events from many encounters in the end, and is determined to let go of personal emotions and take on the mission of learning the Western Scriptures.

For another example, the second-generation godfather "Mike" in "The Godfather", he was originally a young man who was disgusted with the family business, went to college, and joined the army, which reflected his completely different choices from his brothers, and his personality at that time was also sincere and straightforward.

Later, when the family changed, the old godfather was assassinated, and he stood up for the family and his father, went to end the enemy, and left Sicily.

Later, even in Sicily, he couldn't really stay out of it, and almost was assassinated. His new wife died as a result and returned to the United States. After starting to take over his father's business and clean up the family's internal affairs, he also became cold-blooded, cruel, and gloomy. In the end, in order to establish his authority, even the second brother, who did not hesitate to make mistakes but repented, also ordered to be shot......

From the second part, his character is almost completely different from the previous one, cold, decisive and so on, and even his wife has become more and more incomprehensible to him, this transformation may be understood from the distorted understanding of "power and struggle", or from the perspective of "the survival situation of the gangsters".

And later, in the third part, in order to seek the understanding of his family, he began to make many efforts, and even confessed in front of the priest that he had killed people and killed his brother. Wait a minute. The curves of the characters that change over time are quite rich.

Wang Qiming, a domestic cellist, but after arriving in the United States, he brushed dishes and did all kinds of rough work, and finally opened his own factory to make a fortune, and then invested in real estate and went bankrupt......

Such ups and downs, suffering like a knife, cut off the arrogance of his body little by little, so that this character stands in front of you alive, you can't hate it, and you can't love it......

Such a character is undoubtedly not easy to play, and even writing a character biography may not be able to achieve too good results.

But this is a person with the brilliance of humanity in complexity, Jiang Wente wants to play.

When this character first appeared, he had a literati temperament, and after experiencing many things in the later stage, his personality and even the role gradually changed into another type.

And there must be a very important internal connection and logic between these changes, "TD, we have to perform, otherwise this will split the play and the characters, and the play!" ”

Therefore, they both picked the scene on the eve of Wang Qiming's transformation.

In front of Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen also had the temperament of a teacher, which made Chen Daoming roll his eyes.

"What about Tang Qin, I'm afraid he won't dare to come......" After chatting with Chen Daoming for a while, Jiang Wen was still thinking about Tang Qin.

Not for others, just because of Liu Xiaoqing's words, this is what Tang Qin said to Liu Xiaoqing at the beginning, you have to walk into the soul of a character!

……

Tang Qin had actually come to the door of Jingshi.

His eldest brother rang, the call came from distant AH, and when he heard that Tang Qin was going to join BJ's crew in New York and was going to the United States to film, Ma Lan was very concerned.

In fact, she is more concerned about Tang Qin, Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming, the three best young actors in China.

These three actors, most or not, are all piled up by a few good movies or good TV series, and there are opportunities and their own efforts.

Therefore, if you try to play, the acting skills of the three are not much worse.

However, Ma Lan wants to say that the audition is actually not about acting, "I understand." Walking into Beijing TV with Big Brother in hand, people came and went to look sideways.

This, he has the most right to speak.

From his first TV series Journey to the West, why did Director Yang Jie choose him to play Tang Seng, not because he looked like Tang Seng, Li Chengru wanted to play Tang Seng so much, but Director Yang Jie didn't agree to kill him.

Later, in the Dream of Red Mansions crew, the old factory director went to Qindao to ask him to play Jia Baoyu, and he also liked the image.

In the Three Kingdoms crew, Director Wang Fulin still took a fancy to his image, so he let him play Zhuge Liang.

Acting skills are indispensable, but what is more important is the fit between the actor and the character.

Or, first of all, in terms of image and temperament, do you look like this character, do not match the character image in the director's mind, or rather, the audience sees you on the screen, and they think you are playing this person or this person, if it is the latter, this TV series will become.

Tang Qin shook his long hair and walked into the conference room where the audition was held.

Zheng Xiaolong had already seen him, and in the words of later generations, this was the gold master, and he couldn't help but stand up.

Feng Xiaogang had already grinned, in this play, Zheng Xiaolong promoted him to be the assistant director, and he felt that he was a character, so he also stood up.

Chen Daoming is a polite person, and he also stood up with a smile.

In the end, Jiang Wen's gaze fell on Tang Qin.

He didn't stand up, but he kept looking at Tang Qin.

Tang Qin's appearance has not changed much from a month ago, that is, his hair has grown, but on his body, his temperament, the kind of literature and art with barbarism, and the wild with uninhibited temperament, Jiang Wen felt it from the moment he pushed the door into the house.

He scolded, compared with Tang Qin, he can be regarded as a literate citizen at most.

"Xiaolong, Xiao Gang ......" he finally stood up, "I see, I'd better stop acting......"

Oh......

Now it was Zheng Xiaolong's turn and Feng Xiaogang to be surprised.

One of the two looked at Tang Qin and the other at Jiang Wen, and they didn't know what to say.
