Chapter 193: Director, You're Playing with Me

Although he didn't want to be watched by people all the time with the eyes of "come and see the pervert", Wang Wei still accelerated the preparation of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

In the final analysis, his works have always been the confidence of Dunhuang - whether it is used as a bargaining chip to divide the five camps, or as a weapon against the five camps, as long as his films remain successful, the sky will not fall.

Zhou Qiming didn't know about these messy things.

And after Wang Wei accelerated the progress of preparations, his life was ...... It's hard to put into words!

Originally, as a newcomer who played the leading role for the first time, or a successful director like Wang Wei, it was almost impossible not to be nervous.

Especially when this actor is still a "Jiangnan genius".

- Well, according to the description in the script, he is still a "suave Jiangnan genius".

Zhou Qiming was stunned at that time.

I, a 10,000-year-old man who is used to playing a gangster, actually went to play an ancient genius??

Do I have that kind of classical temperament?

Even if he is not from a professional background, he still knows some common sense, for example, the role depends on the temperament, especially the costume role, if the actor does not have a classical temperament, the acting is in line with the sentence - wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince.

He does have a "talent-like" handsome face, but his handsome is more modern, if you have a classical temperament......

Then the director told him, "You don't need to think about what the so-called literati and ink artists should look like, and you don't need to think about shaping the ancient talents in people's hearts, you just need to confidently play a comedy character in ancient clothes......

After listening to the director's request, Zhou Qiming didn't know what to say.

- As for the director's strange request, where did he get "full of confidence"?

Then he saw the script, and finally understood why the director asked for this-

This is a spoof movie that subverts everything at all, and he can't imagine what kind of unbearable effect it is to play according to the script?

The director also told him what the effect was, or rather, what effect he wanted - "push some tall and complete idols, some fake and serious things, to the extreme, and make it more joyful......"

Zhou Qiming's face was confused.

Director, I understand every word you say, but together...... It's better not to talk about it!

The director probably saw it too, and directly waved his hand to make him ...... Watch the film!

Watch all kinds of comedies!

There are many ways to be funny, some of which can amuse the audience through body movements and facial expressions; There are those who laugh and joke through gags and unbridled behavior; There are also ironic ...... through black humor

Maybe he does have a good talent for comedy, in short, he wanders in the world of comedy, fantasizing about how he will play if he lets himself act, and then substitutes it into the script of "Tang", and slowly, he begins to understand the director's requirements-

The performance is still a performance in the traditional sense, such as exaggerated facial expressions and the way of speaking lines, but what is performed is a rebellion against tradition, even anti-intellectual;

It's hard to express it in specific words, but it's still that absurd and funny script, in Zhou Qiming's fantasy performance, no matter how bizarre the plot is, everything seems to be natural.

When the director saw his state, he was overjoyed and praised him as an "epiphany".

He didn't know if it was an "epiphany", but he knew that the director took the opportunity to make a more difficult request - "There is a sense of joy, but it is not enough to have a sense of joy, the masters of comedy have a method of transforming joy and sorrow, the world is impermanent, and laughter is wrong, do you understand?" ”

Zhou Qiming wanted to grab the director's collar and yell, "I don't-don't-understand at all!" Also, where do you see that I have a talent for being a 'master of comedy'?? ”

Unfortunately, he didn't dare.

Wang Weike is recognized in the circle as not a good-tempered master, scolding group performances and actors on the set, which is all known as "tyrant".

What's more, he has seen a lot of directors who are usually pleasant, and once he sits in the director's seat, the whole person will be in a completely different state from usual - it is a state of "if you dare to say that you don't understand, I will tear you apart".

Fortunately, the acting teacher hired by the crew for him is much more reliable, what "the core of comedy is tragedy", from theory to practice, let him focus on showing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the grassroots class, "In addition to being funny, it can make people feel sad"......

This is difficult for Zhou Qiming.

In fact, even the director said that he has a grassroots temperament, and to a certain extent, he only needs to be himself.

- I didn't know for a moment whether the director was praising or mocking him.

Zhou Qiming sighed secretly.

It's just in the preparatory stage, and he has a feeling that he has grown a lot.

β€”β€”Whether it is acting or aging......

However, these are not the things that the director confuses Zhou Qiming the most.

The real numb claw is the requirement after selecting the supporting role-

"Most of their supporting roles only have basic lines, and you have to let them be funny, uh, and perform accordingly according to the scene and their personality, so talk to them more before filming starts, and collide with their comedy heads full of jokes......"

Zhou Qiming was stunned three times in a row!

"What do you mean by 'let them perform accordingly'? Isn't that your job as a director? I'm just a humble actor! ”

In particular, many supporting roles, even if they are only for a few minutes, are played by names and surnames.

Isn't that the "East Evil and West Poison Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? , isn't the one who plays the maid a new little flower? Even the comedy king Shen Yan came to make a cameo......

Dare to love the whole crew, just me, a nobody, right?

And the director still wants me, a nobody, to "lead" these "big guys"?

- Director, are you playing with me!?

Zhou Qiming deeply doubted whether he had offended the director.

……

"Aren't you really playing with him?"

Xu Daoxing, the assistant director of the crew, watched Zhou Qiming leave with a confused expression of "You are teaseing me", and couldn't help but smile at Wang Weidao.

"What are you kidding? Don't you see how much I admire him? Wang Wei said in disbelief.

- Do you appreciate his bewildered expression?

Old Xu belly sneered.

After all, he had never seen Wang Wei "indulge" any actor so much, even Shen Zhenyi had never had this treatment.

But it has to be said that under this "indulgence", this guy's performance has matured day by day, showing a unique style of comedy performance.

Although I don't know if his style can be his own, it is certain that he will bring a new source of vitality to domestic comedy films.

From this point of view, Wang Wei's eyes are thieves and poisons!

That's it, this kind of training method makes him very incomprehensible-

"How do you know that he can collide with a lot of big names and supporting actors?"

Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then made a sudden statement, "I don't know, I just want to appreciate his expression of daring to be angry and dare not speak - I have been under a lot of pressure recently, and I am about to start filming again, so I always have to have some fun for myself, right?" ”

Lao Xu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood-

I have a saying that MMP doesn't know whether to say or not!!
