Magic City, studio

An important scene in the whole film, that is, the "meeting room" of the script workshop of the plot people.

The interior scenes of "Rise to Fame" are all ready-made, although the plot has a little overhead attribute, but a lot of research has been done.

Fuhua Dao is biased towards the style of the magic capital of the Republic of China in the mid-to-late 40s, of course, it has also made a few adjustments, which is more in line with the modern perception, after all, this is not a historical theme, there is no need to be too serious.

The crew just started filming, Wei Yang did not shoot directly, but held a script meeting in the morning, and then walked with makeup in the afternoon, everyone touched it and found the feeling.

In a group portrait of a secret room like "Rise to Fame", several scenes are fixed, and because it is the same day, there is no need to change the costumes and props, nor do you need to change the scenes, which will greatly save the shooting time.

So Wei Yang is not in a hurry to start filming immediately, and plans to let the actors find their status first.

There are few chicks in these actors, and several of them are at the level of drama bones, as long as the character status is correct, the subsequent filming will be very smooth.

The actors changed their costumes and probably took a position, although the camera was on, there were no specific requirements, and everyone played freely.

Ning Hao, who had not left yet, temporarily served as the director and conductor, and Wei Yang changed his costume and silently observed the main creators.

Wang Fatzi was wearing a fancy suit, his beard was cleanly shaved, his hair was combed, and he wore gold-wire glasses, revealing a feeling of scumbag and greasy philistine.

Uncle Ge wore a top hat, a mustache on his upper lip, dressed as a gentleman, and had a kind and hypocritical smile on his face, pretending to be in tune.

Wu Jing was wearing a Tang costume practice uniform, but he was wearing sunglasses and a cowhide belt, combining Chinese and Western, with an arrogant and righteous face.

Duan Long had a stubbled beard and looked calm, but Lin Gengxin next to him was a little nervous, revealing a clear stupidity, and glanced at Fan Xiaopang from time to time.

Fan Xiaopang was wearing a blue and red cheongsam, a pearl necklace, a graceful figure, beautiful makeup, playing with cigarettes and lighters, and his every move was sexy and amorous.

Jiang Wu wore a horse coat with a long shirt, a jade ring on his hand, a gold bracelet on his chest, and a pipe in his hand, which was extremely magnificent.

As for Wei Yang, he is the most inconspicuous and even sloppy among the few people.

Half-length hair is fluffy and casually combed from the back of his head, slightly stubble, wearing wide-framed glasses, his skin is also painted a few shades of dark yellow, and he is adjusted through makeup technology to make his face look rounder than before, his clothes are fat and rustic, and a little shabby, and his standing posture is also very casual.

It can be clearly seen that Wei Yang is trying his best to pretend to be ugly, but even so, his appearance is still the most eye-catching among the male stars.

"Well, it still doesn't work."

Wei Yang watched the comparison of the shots with him and the other leading actors, and couldn't help but have a headache.

"Damn, it's so handsome and sad."

“……”

Wang Fatzi: Lose, I want to have this beautiful face, what else is there in the Xiangjiang film industry?

Uncle Ge: I'm used to it, I'm normal

Wu Jing: Weiyang pickles girls have to rely on their faces, how can they learn by themselves?

Lin update: If I were the boss, my screen name would be the dream of 900 million girls

Fan Xiaopang: No, you have to get the room card, you can see it when you see it, don't you want the actor to talk to the director + screenwriter about the script?

Wei Yang, who was in a depressed mood, could only discuss with Ning Hao to change the script, adding lines similar to "I look so handsome, I shouldn't be an actor to be a reporter" and "I don't want to rely on my face, but rely on my talent to eat", which can also contain a wave of vase actresses.

Compared with the original version, "Rise to Fame" has found so many big names, so it is natural to play with the actors' personal stalks.

Wang Fatzi is the most obvious, because he was originally based on him, so there were stalks everywhere, and he invited him to join, and he also took the initiative to add a bad movie to the role, Director Wang's box office success relied on a certain actor, and there was a wave of self-deprecating stalks that left the star and "couldn't play".

Uncle Ge's bald head stalk was also added, such as a hairless phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and wearing a top hat in the movie is to cover up his weakness in hair loss.

However, Wei Yang is more careful, just taste it, after all, it is not a nonsensical comedy, it is okay to play stalks, but it can't dominate.

Once the styling and script were decided, the actors began to play!

One of the interesting things about "Rise to Fame" is that the group portraits are rich, each character has the characteristics of each character, and they have some grudges against each other and sneer, but they are not bad guys, so they are very lively.

…

Uncle Ge's [outdated old drama bone] carried a bag of small pastries, his eyes skimmed the small bag on the conference table, and inquired with the [Director of Bad Movie King] played by Wang Fatzi.

"Mr. Lu said that a popular actress is coming, right?"

Wang Fatzi's eyes were playful: "Who does Mr. Guan think it will be?" ”

Don't look at him as a native of Xiangjiang, Mandarin is very standard, and his character is set as a native of Guangdong Province, so a slight accent is not hindered.

Uncle Ge fell into thought: "Xu Xiaofeng? ”

Wang Fatzi shook his head, and Uncle Ge guessed again: "Zhou Lili, hey, there is nothing to say about the current audience." ”

Glancing at the [Vase Queen] Fan Xiaopang who had already entered the door, Wang Fatzi kindly reminded: "Have you forgotten the dream butterfly?" ”

"Su Mengdie, just her?"

Uncle Ge looked disdainful, and then saw Fan Xiaopang behind him through the lens that Wang Fat deliberately came over, and his voice was a little fluttering.

"If only she could......"

Turning around and seeing Fan Xiaopang, with a bright smile and a raised voice, like Master Tang who saw a diamond, he came over to make up for it diligently: "Then it's no one else's business, oops, Mengdie, great, you're really here." ”

Fan Xiaopang sat down elegantly, he didn't have to act, he was friendly on the surface, but the yin and yang weird tone came out.

"Teacher Guan, I've disappointed you."

"That's what I said, I look forward to your comeback, just come back, what is there to do in Xiangjiang."

"What you said is, isn't this coming, and you will be stained with Director Zheng's light?"

Wang Fatzi held the handle of the chair behind Fan Xiaopang, with a greasy and obscene smile, and acted in his true colors.

"Dream Butterfly, I'll only let you dip."

Although there is no Wei Yang's shot in this section, he didn't look at the monitor, but sat in his place with the scene, but his eyes never left the performance of the three people.

Uncle Ge doesn't need to say much, this kind of old oilman is very good at it, and he handles it just right.

Although I feel that Master Tang is also a little similar, it can also make people clearly distinguish, and there is a degree of relaxation, which can be described as smooth.

Although Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are not as strong as those of International Zhang and Zhou Gongzi, they are not bad, and this kind of Hua Dan, who is not in harmony with her peers in the entertainment industry, is her daily life, not to mention how vivid.

Strictly speaking, Wang Fatzi should be the worst acting actor, after all, he is not a professional actor.

But in fact, he started filming very early, often making cameo appearances, and even starring, and his acting experience is not even inferior to some of the main creators.

Although most of the characters are, pee, and fart clowns or fat mantis villains, there is no depth and difficulty, but with more acting, the basic skills are solid.

Not to mention that he is a senior comedy director himself, has worked with countless comedy bosses, is good at mining comedy elements, and plays the greasy philistine of [Director of Bad Movies], but he is a little likable and funny.

And the most important thing is that this role is tailor-made for him, and most of the scenes can be played in their true colors, which is natural and vivid.

In addition, there are several main creators of the original version of "Rise to Fame" who are drama actors, such as Yu Entai and Yang Haoyu, the original actors of Wang Fatzi and Uncle Ge, and Chen Minghao, the original actor of "Down-and-Out Tycoon".

These people are all rooted in the drama stage all the year round, and their acting skills have nothing to say, but in this kind of secret room play, acting inevitably has some flavor of the drama stage.

And most of Wei Yang's actors this time are film and television actors, so the drama style is not as heavy as the original.

The bridges and lines have not changed, but the performance is more natural and real, relatively more restrictive, and will consciously cooperate with the lens and environment, and have more close-up processing of details.

The quality of drama and film and television performance styles will not be discussed here, but Wei Yang is making movies, so he naturally hopes to fit the film and television style.

After that, several other people also appeared one after another, revealing the background and interacting with each other's conflicts, and finally the big guy came out to close the scene and named the subject.

"Who's leaving?"

Jiang Wu held a pipe in his mouth, shyly on his stomach, took square steps, greeted everyone, and all the main creators came to carry out the plot later.

The finished film is only two hours long, and the scene in this scene is about thirty or forty minutes, but the shooting may take more than ten days or more.

Even if it was just an unofficial filming audition, it took a whole day, and there were still many scattered problems that had not been solved.

However, the general direction is there, and the actors have found some feeling, and the rest of the problems can be solved slowly during the official shooting.

At the end of the night, Wei Yang looked at the film recorded today, and was satisfied with the wonderful performance of the actors, but also felt pressure.

When he really started playing, he realized that he was likely to be the last of the acting skills of the creators of "Rise to Fame".

As a director, he found a bunch of excellent actors!

As an actor, he ran into a group of "livestock"!

But fortunately, the role of the screenwriter he played is not too difficult to perform.

Stubborn, unsophisticated, old-fashioned and serious, pursuing justice, jealousy and hatred, bold and careful, etc., is a very typical decent character.

Compared with other black-and-white mixed two-sided characters, this role is consistent, as long as he grasps the characteristics of the characters, Wei Yang dare not say that his performance is more brilliant, at least he will not drag the crew back.

So while feeling the pressure, Wei Yang was also a little excited.

In fact, he hasn't performed in this high-pressure state for a long time, and there will be progress when there is pressure.

At the end of today's work, Wei Yang also gained a lot, and wanted to go back and sort out the character biography, but Fan Xiaopang, the girl, had to pester him to ask for a room card.

Boss Wei sternly refused and refuted, buddy is struggling for his acting career, but you want to consume my physical strength and energy, make me addicted to eroticism and carnal desires, how can I become an actor in the future?

Fan Xiaopang was severely criticized by Wei Yang, Wei Yang's room card didn't leave, but he left his room card.

Boss Wei hesitated, but still put away her room card.

There is a struggle for the acting career, but everything still has to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.........
