- Xiao Dabao is already dead for the second time, the second time he is born, the second time he is dead, and the third time is estimated to be ripe.

Xu Hengzhou was a little shocked when he saw this narration-like sentence in the script.

What's the matter, Wei Xiao has also made the script of the movie "Old Boy" a time-traveling element?

Is this the script for the TV series "The Promotion of Gentlemen", which is familiar with writing?

Let him think about it, among all the modern movies he has seen, the most thorough use of this element, the first thing that pops up in his mind must be "Charlotte's Troubles".

Anyway, crossing this element is actually a relatively common element in film and television works, mainly reflected in the fact that the screenwriters know a lot about this element, and from time to time they will want to say that they want to use this element, but when it is shown in front of the audience, this element appears relatively rarely.

Because it is difficult to shoot time travel, the setting of the plot, the understanding and control of the director and the acting skills of the actors are particularly high.

There is a lot of knowledge in how to make something that is obviously detached from the facts real enough.

Either simply don't shoot in real places, for example, to shoot some idol dramas, you can use the elements of crossing, but if you put the elements of crossover into the main drama, it will definitely involve some more profound clues and various chain reactions.

And one thing that distinguishes the form of expression in the movie from the TV series is that his requirements for authenticity are high enough.

Even if you are filming a very absurd plot, you will need to pull everyone into that story system and appreciate the truth in it.

Xu Hengzhou didn't know how Wei Xiao wanted to reflect this in the plot setting.

He continued to read the script with such doubts.

found that Wei Xiao's ability to write scripts is really strong, he himself graduated from the film and television department of Central Opera, specializing in film and television dramas, a set of theories, and followed Jiang Wen to make movies, and he participated in the drama of every movie.

And Jiang Wen's movies don't talk about his successes and failures, but the plots in each movie are interlocking, and there are genius ideas that can amaze everyone.

Among them, Wei Xiao's contribution is indelible, and he has contributed a lot.

And compared with the script creation of TV series, the script creation of movies is actually more familiar and profound to Wei Xiao.

Xu Hengzhou's mentality changed completely when he looked at the script, from the beginning he wanted to proofread the script, and even said that he was investigating whether this story and the plot could really be made into a high-quality movie, but then he slowly became a reader's mentality, and he was completely immersed in the story written in the script.

He felt the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of each of the characters in this short story, and felt that he had also experienced a somewhat absurd, somewhat bizarre, but extremely real life with them.

After reading the last word, Xu Hengzhou even had a feeling of unfinished, and for the first time he had that kind of hope, and the other party had the urge to write a sequel.

Even if it's day-to-day, he wants to see more and experience more things with the characters in this story.

Xu Hengzhou feels that this state is very magical, because the script is still very different, the script is segmented, and the plot is described one by one.

The transitions are more blunt.

And with good continuity and rhythm, it can make people have a sense of substitution.

Anyway, Xu Hengzhou never had a feeling of substitution when he read the script before, most of them were in a state of rational analysis, thinking about how he should perform and express this emotion if he was this character?

The script of Wei Xiao has already portrayed this character directly to you through his vivid description.

After Xu Hengzhou read it once, he always had the feeling that he was copying his homework.

For the first time, I felt that I was not trying to create a second character, but that I had to work hard and really to imitate, to get closer, to reproduce the character out of the script.

Sounds like a tool man without a soul.

But in fact, for an actor, being able to completely reproduce a historical figure or a character in it, so that the audience does not feel a sense of disobedience, and directly use the character's name to call the actor is the greatest recognition of their performance.

may be different from what the public imagines, and generally rely on one's own imagination to add drama to a character without any basis, which is called a drama bully.

And an actor who really loves acting, the so-called drama maniac should be the kind of actor who can minimize the details of his performance in order to get close to the role.

All performances are at the service of the character, and the best performance is to be able to reproduce the character perfectly.

Therefore, if the character has a prototype or the other party can give a more specific description, such as a character biography of tens of thousands of words, for an actor, this kind of performance is even more challenging than the so-called direct giving a general character design to play at will.

After Xu Hengzhou read the script again, his expression became more serious, and he started from the first word again, looked at the script again, proofread it while reading, and then silently memorized some details of the characters in the text.

His eyes froze as he read a few of the words describing the main character.

- Dementia, premature aging, dull eyes.

He actually wants to play this protagonist, that is, Xiao Dabao.

But how did he play this thing?

Unless he deliberately changed his body shape and gained weight for this role.

Not to mention him, even Xiao Yang, who originally played the role of the same name in the micro-movie, had to eat more to raise the meat in the state of the characters described in the script.

But Xu Hengzhou is really very interested in this role.

Because in the setting of the script, there are two different phases for this character, the first is the teenage period and the second is the period after adulthood.

Then the plot also uses the technique of montage, with a double-line narrative, and then crosses this bridge to repeatedly jump back and forth between the two periods.

It's a big challenge for an actor.

Xu Hengzhou was a little moved.

And the character's description of his teenage years is like this - shy, introverted, delicate, and has a sense of juvenile quality.

The point is that he is very handsome, handsome and unknowing.

Well, isn't that what he is?!

Xu Hengzhou thought of these key descriptors, and he was even more moved!

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Yang to play this role, and if he wants to play it, then he has to find another person to play it when he is a teenager, which will definitely produce some sense of separation.

On the contrary, another role that was originally played by Wang Taili in the micro-movie is very suitable for Xiao Yang.

Xu Hengzhou thought about it carefully, if he wants to play the role of Xiao Dabao, it may not only involve the issue of gaining weight, if he wants to play the teenager estimate, then he has to lose weight, because teenagers are generally relatively thin.

This increase and subtraction, this body should not be empty.

He's not married!

But the script of Wei Xiao is really well written, absurd, funny and down-to-earth, with nostalgic youth dreams in it, all kinds of elements are complete, and there is a little bit of light suspense, if it is made well and clearly, this movie will definitely be loved by the audience.

In particular, the theme has not deviated, and like the micro-film, it is all about dreams.

This kind of film that weaves dreams for the audience has always been the kind of thing Xu Hengzhou wants to make, and he hopes that he can bring some more positive energy to the audience through his performance.

Xu Hengzhou likes this book very much when he looks at it now anyway, and he really wants to star in it.

When he thought about it, he suddenly felt that he was inflated and floated up, and when the leading actor of a movie could casually feel that he would be able to act.

Oh wait, this movie was invested by yourself, that's fine.

In this world, can't investors set actors? !

Xu Hengzhou feels that whether he will play this role in the end is one statement, and whether he can play it is another statement.

Thinking that the control of this matter was still in his own hands, he was a little relieved, thinking that this matter could be put aside for a while, and there was still a lot of time to think about.

During this time, the top priority is to finish filming the movie "Scorching Sun".

Although this movie should have four protagonists, three of which are more important, but the role he plays is the most important, so he must not pay for it, and he still has to play the role of Xin Xiaofeng well.

Xu Hengzhou has actually only been in the group for a long time and has not acted in a single scene, but he has already encountered a bottleneck.

Because the soothing plot ahead has passed, he is about to start performing the scorching part of the scorching sun.

But Xu Hengzhou actually doesn't know how to use ordinary performances to bring that kind of undercurrent to the performance.

The title of the movie "Scorching Sun" means to describe the strong summer sun.

It is the title of the movie jointly decided by the author, part-time screenwriter Xu Yigua, Cao Baoping and Wei Xiao.

Xu Hengzhou also listened to their discussion at that time and knew that there was a reason for this name.

The word scorching sun comes from the 16th chapter of Shi Nai'an's "Water Margin" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, "Yang Zhi escorted the gold and silver Dan Wu to outwit the birth gang":

"The scorching sun is like a fire, and the Noda rice is half scorched. The farmer's heart is like soup boiling, and the prince and grandson shake the fan. ”

is in harmony with the plot of this - three sworn brothers with different identities raise an orphan girl together, which seems to be peaceful, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and a shocking incident is involved under the coincidence.

And the Wang Sun here is mainly a reference to all the people who are living normally.

Those who have not experienced this kind of scorching sun, in the eyes of the male protagonist's fugitive trio, are superior to them, and they are all those who don't know the hardships of the kings and grandsons.

Xu Hengzhou still remembers that Cao Baoping was particularly satisfied with this name at that time.

also said that the audience who has not experienced this kind of desperate situation in life and can still have the leisure to go to the cinema to watch movies can be regarded as the high-ranking kings and grandsons in the eyes of the movie protagonist group.

No matter how Xu Hengzhou listened, he could hear a little ridicule from Cao Baoping's tone, that was the audience's master,

We still have to rely on others to contribute to the box office, how dare Director Cao.

But when Xu Hengzhou heard Director Cao laughing at himself again, and it was on a large scale, he instantly extinguished the fire, and Director Cao said this:

"Speaking of which, our group of people who make movies and engage in art are the people who don't know the hardships of the world the most, living in a vacuum, so I said that I want to make a documentary, and find real people who have had similar experiences to shoot."

Looking for criminals to act in movies? Director Cao, you're even less grounded.

Besides, if you find someone else to act, wouldn't that be ruining his job!

Xu Hengzhou immediately assured:

"Director Cao, you don't have to look for other actors. I can act. ”

Cao Baoping didn't say that to provoke Xu Hengzhou, but seeing that Xu Hengzhou immediately gave a military order, he accepted it.

"Play well. It's done and you'll be given a shot. ”

Director Cao didn't dare to say this to the other two actors in the crew, but he did do it.

The strength of the main two actors is too strong, and every frame is extremely dramatic, which makes him feel that it is a pity to give up any second.

However, the relationship between Xu Hengzhou and him is different, it is still very cordial.

The ridicule of this plus the camera can be said, mainly because Xu Hengzhou has performed well during this time, but because of the arrangement of the scenes, there are not too many explosive scenes, the early stage is depressed and depressed, calm and calm, but the core is getting stronger and stronger.

Just like the name of the original owner, "Sunspots", a strong magnetic field spreads around his body, but it is not visible to the naked eye, and can only be seen by cutting open his chest

At the heart, there is a black stain that cannot be ignored, exuding a thick black gas, spreading to the limbs and hundreds of remains.

Xu Hengzhou has been looking for this feeling all this time.

The role of Xin Xiaofeng is really different.

In order to better hide himself, all his micro-movements are extremely restrained and restrained, and the whole person leaves no traces.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to express the part he needs to perform through body language and expressions.

In addition to body language and facial expressions, an actor can only use lines and eyes to express the role.

This is an extreme test of Xu Hengzhou's understanding of the subtle changes in the mood fluctuations of different plots and Xin Xiaofeng's deep shadows.

Moreover, he not only had to understand, but he also had to convey his understanding to the audience through the performance.

It's hard, it's hard.

Xu Hengzhou pondered for a long time, and felt that if he didn't have too many breakthroughs in his acting skills, this transition would be extremely flat and stereotyped without waves.

But acting skills are not something that can be broken through for a while.

There is a systematic training ground, and there are fragments of character experience, and he understands the emotions in place, but how to express them to the audience......

Perhaps, the item that hasn't been used in a long time can be used.

is the one he used to play the sixth child in the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", and the one he used can spend high points to let a certain actor who exists in reality play this role for him to show him once in his peak state.

Before, he asked Uncle Ge Weige to play Duan Lao Liu for him to see.

What about the role of Xin Xiaofeng.

Who should I ask him for?
