Chapter 629: Acting Yourself
Liu Xu's movements were very fast, and after deciding to shoot a TV series, the relevant filming work began directly. This is mainly because among the 3 million people who were brought over, many of them are professional film and television production teams, including the production team that shot the Taoyuan Sanjieyi promotional video for Liu Xu.
So Liu Xu took this team as the core, brought together all the teams in the other three cities, selected a group of the most elite people, and directly built an extremely powerful TV production team.
And the chief director of the whole TV series is naturally Liu Xu himself, Liu Xu is by no means playful, he wants to try what it's like to be a director, but because he knows those directors too well.
Once these directors have the power in their hands, they must make the TV series as they like, and they don't blame how it is depicted in the original book.
This is also the reason why many obviously have extremely good original books, but after being made into a TV series, the plot has become a piece of shit. Of course, part of it is because of the difficulty of filming and the reason why he chose to give up, but more because the director is a human being, not an AI, he has his own ideas, aesthetics and values, so when shooting, he will involuntarily remove those things that do not meet his own aesthetics and values, and only leave those things that are in line with his own.
In some cases, there is not much left behind, so I simply stuff a lot of my own things into it, and it turns out to be a piece of shit, completely ruining the original work.
As for the director's professional skills, Liu Xu asked all the other dozen professional directors to be assistant directors, giving him a hand, and perfectly solving the problem.
As for the other major aspect of TV series shooting, that is, the problem of actors, it is naturally better solved. Liu Xu gave an order, no matter whether the other party is now the prince of a vassal state or not, he has to obediently appear in front of Liu Xu, obey Liu Xu's arrangement, and shoot a TV series for Liu Xu.
Liu Xu thought that the filming of the entire TV series would be very smooth, especially that there were no problems with the actors. After all, no matter how well an actor is chosen, he is an actor after all, and Liu Xu simply brought the historical figure himself, and there will definitely be no problems in terms of character image adaptation.
As for acting, isn't it just to recreate what happened to you in history? What problems can I have, and what problems can I have when I play myself?
It's just that I never expected that, as I said earlier, as soon as I started filming the plot of Chapter 1 of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the problem appeared.
At the beginning, when filming the plot of Taoyuan Three Knots, it was okay, the three brothers Liu Guanzhang had already played it once, and the relationship between the three brothers was sincere, and there was no problem with just passing it.
But there was a problem in the plot of the next battle of the Yellow Turban, there is such a paragraph in the original plot, which says that Dong Zhuo and the Yellow Turban were defeated when they were fighting, fortunately, Liu Bei arrived at that time, and took the two brothers to kill in the Yellow Turban, saving Dong Zhuo's life, Dong Zhuo also expressed his gratitude to Liu Bei at the beginning.
Later, after learning that Liu Bei was still white and did not have any official position, he rolled his eyes at Liu Bei, and the angry Zhang Fei wanted to kill Dong Zhuo directly, but he was stopped by Liu Bei.
It is this plot filmed above, which is very easy to shoot in Liu Xu's opinion, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to disperse the Yellow Turban soldiers who were chasing Dong Zhuo, and then went up to talk and tell his identity, Dong Zhuo gave another look, and this scene was over.
However, when this TV footage was actually filmed, when Dong Zhuo saw Liu Bei, there was still a little contempt in his eyes, and it was full of caution and hatred.
So there was the above scene, when Liu Xu shot this set of shots for the first time, Liu Bei just introduced himself, "Bei Nai is a white body, and he has no official position." ”
As a result, Dong Zhuo not only did not have a disdainful expression in his eyes, but stared at Liu Bei deadly, with an expression of eagerness to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and he didn't even have a white eye, which made Liu Xu directly numb.
Although after Liu Xu's repeated training, Dong Zhuo was barely able to restrain his expression a little, but the vigilance and hatred in his bones can't be changed, so even if it is reshot seven or eight times, every time the picture is very weird, Dong Zhuo is disdainful of Liu Bei on the surface, but any viewer can see Dong Zhuo's hatred for Liu Bei from the picture.
In desperation, Liu Xu could only not shoot Dong Zhuo's face, and after Liu Bei finished speaking his lines, he only asked Dong Zhuo to leave a back for Liu Bei throughout the whole process, and at the same time did not have a single line, and left directly, which can be regarded as using body language to express this disdain.
It's just that Liu Xu just got this shot, and the next second bigger trouble came.
After seeing his eldest brother being rejected by Dong Zhuo so rudely, Zhang Fei in the original book couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "I waited for my relatives to go to the bloody battle and saved this guy, but he was so rude." If you don't kill him, it's hard to get rid of my anger! When he picked up the knife and was about to rush into the camp tent to kill Dong Zhuo, it was Liu Bei who persuaded him in every possible way and forcibly grabbed Zhang Fei.
It's just that no one expected that when Liu Xu was filming this plot, Zhang Fei, who would have been persuaded by Liu Bei, actually forcibly broke free from Liu Bei's shackles directly, and rushed directly into Dong Zhuo's tent without anyone reacting, including Liu Xu himself, but in a few seconds, he walked out with Dong Zhuo's head.
Although this Dong Zhuo's population quickly turned into a point of light and disappeared, Zhang Fei was still there excitedly screaming, making Liu Bei anxious, grabbing Zhang Fei's arm and saying, "Third brother, why are you like this!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei shouted at Liu Bei, "Big brother, since you asked me to let Dong Zhuo go, I feel regretful every time I think about it." If you hadn't stopped me at the beginning and let me simply kill Dong Zhuo, a thief, with one stab, then how could my Han be poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and how could the soldiers and horses of the world flock to Dong Zhuo. Even if I can't avoid dying afterwards, if I can save the Han world and prevent you from bearing the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han family alone, the third brother and I will die as I deserve! ”
"So I simply killed Dong Zhuo today, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of the year!" Liu Bei, who said Zhang Fei's words, was very moved, and cried when he hugged Zhang Fei's good brother.
And Liu Xu looked at the sky very blankly on the side, thinking to himself
Who am I?
Why do I want to make a TV series?
Why don't I look for obedient actors, but let these original owners make TV series, I'm really a brain-dead!
In the end, Liu Xu still had to deal with the problem, he re-reflected Dong Zhuo, let the angry Dong Zhuo beat Zhang Fei violently, and at the same time announced that Zhang Fei's treatment and benefits would be reduced, and then all these were transferred to Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo feel a lot more comfortable.
After all, in the next TV series shooting, Dong Zhuo still has a lot of tasks and shots, and he must not let this leading actor pick and choose, otherwise Liu Xu will only empty Dong Zhuo's memory, start from scratch, and re-reflect a Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xu thought that after solving this problem, there should be no more troublesome things, but Liu Xu glanced at the script, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Next, Sun Jian and Liu Bei, who participated in the Yellow Turban War at the same time, are about to meet for the first time.
