After joining the group, after settling down, Guo Fan organized the actors to read the script.

There are two lines in [The Wandering Earth], one is the main line of the male protagonist on the ground, and the other is the auxiliary line of the father of the male protagonist of the space capsule, "Liu Peiqiang".

After Gu Wei joined the [The Wandering Earth] project last year, he proposed to Guo Fan, "Liu Peiqiang" asked Wu Jing to act, at that time, Wu Jing's [Wolf Warrior 1] sold for more than 500 million, it was the time when his reputation was soaring, and his age image was more in line with the image in the play, Guo Fan agreed without hesitation.

At that time, Wu Jing was busy doing the late stage of [Wolf Warrior 2], and he didn't take on other scenes, Gu Wei called to invite, and he naturally agreed without hesitation.

Of course, Wu Jing didn't have much expectations for what effect domestic sci-fi films could make, purely to give Gu Wei face.

As early as 09, he starred in a science fiction film [Cyborg] directed by Liu Zhenwei, in which he played a robot.

When the film was promoted, the drama party also invited Liu Cixin to come over and discuss yesterday, today and tomorrow of Chinese science fiction movies with director Liu Zhenwei.

However, [Cyborg] is said to have invested 100 million, but the box office was only 52.1 million, and the investor lost so much that he vomited blood.

The reputation of the movie is not very good, under the banner of sci-fi robots, it is actually a romantic drama.

The plot is chaotic, lacks coherence and logic, and the production of the most important special effects as the most important special effects of science fiction films is not refined enough, and the visual effects are not satisfactory.

These have little to do with Wu Jing, who was only the third or even the fourth male in the movie at that time, but he has since understood that there is still a long way to go to shoot science fiction films in China.

Although the two lines in "The Wandering Earth" interact in the movie, there is no interaction in the actual shooting, each shooting its own, and the father and son in the scene of Gu Wei and Wu Jing don't even have a shot in the same frame.

Now that [Wolf Warrior 2] is still more than 20 days away, Wu Jing is now busy promoting the movie, and he has no time to join the group.

According to the crew's filming arrangement, Wu Jing will not join the group until about 2 months later, and Gu Wei's drama will almost be completed at that time.

"Uncle Da, I have watched your movies since I was a child, and I finally met you in person"

Reading the script, Gu Wei saw Wu Mengda, who was 66 years old, his beard was black and white, his face was wrinkled, and he was much older than Cheng Long who he saw at the premiere a few days ago, in fact, Uncle Da was only two years older than Cheng Long.

"Gu Wei, I know you, you have been really popular in the past two years, and there are many fans on Hong Kong Island!

When I saw me today, I was really born beautiful! ”

Wu Mengda smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.

"Hello Grandpa Wu~" Zhao Yanmai greeted obediently.

"It's so good~ The girl is so cute"

Wu Mengda's Mandarin is actually not bad, but when they first met, they used to bring a bit of Cantonese accent, and he quickly adjusted his accent when everyone read the script together.

There are not many main actors in [The Wandering Earth], in addition to Wu Mengda, there are also Li Guangjie, Zhang Yichi, Sui Kai, Yang Haoyu and others.

These actors were all selected by director Guo Fan, and Gu Wei did not intervene, but there is a role of "Zhou Qian", a female member of the rescue team in the film, Gu Wei asked for it and gave the company's Mencius Yi.

As a 170-year-old "big sweet girl" in the Northeast, Mencius has no problem playing such a resolute female warrior.

After all, she played the blackened "Yuan Chun" very well, and Mencius still had some acting skills.

Gu Wei came back from Prague last month, and Mencius returned to the capital to deal with the school affairs, so he first came to the Qindao crew to make preparations before filming.

"Director Guo, is there a problem with the character of the male protagonist?" Everyone read the scenes in the recent period, and Gu Wei took his script to find Guo Fan.

"Is there anything wrong?" Guo Fan was a little strange.

"The growth line of the male protagonist Liu Qi is, in my opinion, the growth diary of the bear child!"

"Bear Kid Growth Diary?" This is the first time Guo Fan has heard this statement.

Gu Wei nodded.

"You see what Liu Qi did in the opening scene was very rebellious, skipping class with his sister, cheating other people's protective clothing, violating the law to the surface, proper bear child"

"Then what do you think is the reason why the male protagonist did this?"

"Rebellion, Resentment, and Love"

Guo Fan waited for Gu Wei to continue.

"You see, from the background of the story, when Liu Qi was a child, Liu Peiqiang went to the International Space Station to carry out a mission, and he was gone for more than ten years, and in order to let his father-in-law Han Ziang enter the underground base directly without drawing lots, he chose to give up his seriously ill wife.

These are rational choices from the perspective of an adult, but for a child with an immature mind, his father gave up his mother and only cared about performing tasks and ignored his family, so that Liu Qi had no maternal love since he was a child, and father's love was out of reach.

For more than ten years, although he was taken care of by his grandfather, he had no parents by his side, and Liu Qi reached the period of youth rebellion, and it was normal for him to resent his father. ”

Guo Fan nodded, he felt that Gu Wei's grasp of the role was no problem.

However, from the performance point of view, Liu Qi's core must be positive, that is to say, no matter how rebellious he is on the surface, but from the heart, he has 100% love for his grandfather Han Ziang and sister Han Duoduo.

Even if he is a resentful father, he longs to be together and experience the feeling of fatherly love in his heart.

At the beginning of the plot, the reason why Liu Qi went to the ground was because he felt that he could get closer to his father in the sky when he went to the ground.

Because when he was a child, what his father told him, as long as he looked up at the sky, he could see him.

When he went to the surface, Liu Qi and his entourage experienced all kinds of difficulties, and his whole person also grew up rapidly in this process, the death of his grandfather, his father chose to die for the sake of righteousness, he also threw away a little mustard between father and son, chose to forgive his father, and spared his life in order to save the earth.

It's the idea of resenting the father, understanding the father, and being a father."

"Isn't that great?" Guo Fan felt that Gu Wei had understood the role quite thoroughly.

"The general context is fine, but the specific performance is not right.

In the first half of the opening, Liu Qi's performance was a little too "bearish".

Let's just say that his attitude towards his grandfather Han Ziang is an 'old thing', which is a close relative who raised him as a father and a mother.

Judging from the scene where Han Ziang died in the middle, Liu Qi's feelings for his grandfather are very deep."

"Well, we were also thinking about starting Liu Qi was more rebellious, as you said, you have to have a growth line and a sense of contrast." To be honest, the script of [Traffic Earth] has a lot of loopholes in terms of story, and the plot is not very delicate, but the main line is fine, coupled with the special effects that completely exceed the audience's expectations, some small problems are easy to be ignored by the audience.

"What do you think would be the right thing to do?" Screenwriter Gong Ge was also at the scene, and he asked directly.

Changing "old things" to "old men" can also show Liu Qi's rebellion.

Later, Han Ziang sacrificed the part, and the last two voices changed from "old man" to "grandpa", and his emotions were sublimated at once."

Gong Ge and Guo Fan glanced at each other and nodded.

"For the rest, I will pay attention to the performance, Liu Qi respects and loves his grandfather and rebels at the same time, and he is resentful and eager for Liu Peiqiang"

Gu Weisuan analyzed the character and motivation of the protagonist of [The Wandering Earth] very thoroughly.

Because of the limited acting skills of the original Qu Chuxiao and the limitations of his understanding of the role, Liu Qi in the first half of the game was played as a completely ignorant bear child, which made the growth of the later character very abrupt, and even if he was a hero, many viewers didn't like it.

Of course, this situation will not happen to Gu Wei.

"Boss, do you really want to cut it?" The little assistant Yang Chaoyue looked at Gu Wei's handsome appearance in the mirror, extremely reluctant.

"I cut my hair, and you didn't cut it, what are you reluctant to do? Teacher, styling teacher, cut it."

"Okay." After Gu Wei gave the order, the barber master quickly shaved his originally handsome hairstyle into an inch close to the scalp as required.

Gu Wei didn't hesitate to shoot, but the little assistant who watched him cut his hair behind him looked reluctant, feeling like he was cutting his own head.

"Yes, it is said that short hair is the best way to test whether a person is really handsome, and there is some truth." After cutting his head, Gu Wei looked at himself in the mirror, he was a little stunned compared to before, but he was still as handsome, and this one had not changed.

"Fans must be very distressed to know that the boss has made such a big sacrifice in order to make a movie." The little assistant herself is Gu Wei's fan, and she certainly doesn't want Gu Wei to cut her hair from the perspective of fans.

"When the movie is released, they won't think so," Gu Wei touched his head, which was also a little novel.

He has not filmed a Qing court drama in so many years, and the costumes are all hooded, and it is the first time since he was in college to cut such a short hair.

After the haircut, all the preparations before the shoot are done.

"Brother, you have this head."

"How's that, isn't it more handsome?" In the crew, Zhao Yanmai was surprised when she saw Gu Wei's new head shape.

"Indeed, it feels like you've lost a lot of hair and gotten a lot smaller, like a high school student."

"Yes, this temperament is the same as Liu Qi as I imagined" Guo Fan looked at Gu Wei's appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, after Gu Wei put forward his opinion yesterday to change part of the male lead's play, he thought that the other party would have to change his appearance.

After all, Gu Wei is a top-notch person, and he has always attached great importance to his image, but he didn't expect to see him shave his hair completely according to the requirements of the script when he arrived at the crew today.

'It seems that he really did think about the filming of the movie.'

"How's it going, is it heavy?" With the help of the staff, Gu Wei put on a civilian version of protective clothing, carrying a black backpack and holding a transparent round helmet.

"It's heavy, but you can still hold on" Zhao Yanmai is also dressed in the same way.

"Let's do this well, Li Guangjie and their exoskeleton protective clothing is called heavy, it is said to be 80 pounds."

"Huh? It's so heavy, can they still move when they wear it? Zhao Yanmai felt that the clothes on her body were already very heavy, and it was very inconvenient to walk and make movements after putting them on, but she didn't expect that she was actually light compared to other people's.

"Of course they can move, but it's more laborious, and their ones are much more troublesome to wear than ours, and they have to be helped by several people to put them on."

Gu Wei and Zhao Yanmai put on makeup and costumes, ready to start today's shooting.

Many of the sets in "The Wandering Earth" are real-life shots, of course, more are green cloth and post-production special effects, such as today's filming of the scene where Liu Qi and Han Duoduo went out from the base.

The two of them deceived two civilian protective suits, took their grandfather's car card, and took the elevator from the base to go out, and the whole process was basically filmed with green cloth.

"I'll go!"

Following the flow of people in protective suits, the two passed by the tarmac of an underground base, and a huge plane was turning towards them, Gu Wei couldn't help but look up and exclaim.

In fact, including the mechanical corridor on the ground, everything around it is green cloth except for the other actors walking back and forth in protective suits.

It's all about imagination.

Gu Wei is better at this kind of non-physical performance, this is how he was filming [Monster Hunt], the director will explain to you clearly, what scene you are in, what will happen, and what reaction you want to give depends on your imagination.

"It's the first time you've reacted like this, right?

Have you ever been out and about? ”

Zhao Yanmai's performance is also very good, and this level of performance is relatively simple for her.

"I didn't see so many people when I came back."

"You're a liar."

"How long does it take to get to the ground?"

"It's 5 kilometers to the ground, and it takes 15 minutes."

"Oh~"

"Click! This time it's good, it's over!

The actors take a break and the staff pack up their things and transition! ”

The first scene was filmed ten times before Guo Fan gave it.

There is no big problem with the actor's performance, mainly because there will be some small mistakes in the lens, lighting and even extras.

Guo Fan is a person who pursues perfection, and has spent so much effort on this movie, and he wants to do his best to shoot the best results.

Gu Wei didn't care, filming, it was like this at the beginning, grinding the camera.

There will always be all kinds of problems when the crew first starts filming, and when the time is long and everyone cooperates tacitly, the efficiency of filming will naturally improve at that time.

"Tired?" Gu Wei and Zhao Yanmai walked to the side to rest.

"It's okay, the clothes are okay, but this thing is always a little heavy." Zhao Yanmai gestured to the transparent helmet placed on the side.

"I suggest you drink less water," Gu Wei reminded when he saw that she was about to pour a bottle of water.

"We still have two scenes to shoot in a while, and if you go to the bathroom, you have to take off this dress and put it back on, which is quite troublesome."
