Chapter 397: Young You

"Chance?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yifei has always been ice and snow smart, and he understood in an instant, and regardless of the hair he was blowing, he threw himself into Wu Yuan's arms as soon as he turned around, raised his head and blinked his bright eyes.

"Senior brother, do you have a new movie?"

"Do you want me to act?"

"I can do it!"

Facing Liu Yifei's sparkling eyes, Wu Yuan reached out and pushed her head away with a smile, "I just said that casually." ”

"There may be later, but certainly not now."

Just now, Wu Yuan did have a lot of classic movies with shaved or flat heads of heroines in his mind.

In fact, in the international film industry, the shaved head of female characters is a very classic plot.

Hair is never more than just hair.

At least not only in the material sense, it has always been given many definitions by human society.

In movies, cutting women's hair is often a spiritual admonition and a punishment.

The logic of the movie comes from the shadows of those civilizations in history.

Some people believe that cutting off the sexual characteristics of long hair can avoid some misfortunes.

Make sluts unable to seduce men and make them reflect on their own "corrupt" morals.

Therefore, in some periods, this kind of behavior used to be a means of public humiliation and psychological oppression of others.

For example, in the classic movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the heroine Marlena, she finally became the scapegoat for the masses to vent their resentment against the fascists.

Once the most beautiful in the town, she was a thorn in the side of other women, and only by taking the opportunity of post-war catharsis could women tear her beauty apart in the name of justice.

They shaved her sexy curly hair and ripped off what was left of her clothes.

And the men who once hugged her to light cigarettes stood aside and acted as spectators of a good show.

And in domestic movies, this kind of scene is not uncommon.

In "Donkey Gets Water", the man's humiliation of Zhang Yiman is also a shaved head, which is called justice.

Zhang Yiman, whose hair was cut off, could no longer say the "pajama clothes" that symbolized feminist rhetoric, and finally ended up in a crazy and miserable end.

There is no doubt that in these films, hair symbolizes the dignity of women.

And those who cut off women's hair have tasted the thrill of conquest where personal power is above others.

Of course, in addition to those who are forced to cut their hair, there are also movies in which women take the initiative to cut their hair.

When a woman takes the initiative to cut off her hair and cut a flat or bald head in a movie, it is usually a metaphor for the woman to "prove herself", or to "stop being bullied and become stronger".

For example, in "Navy SEALs", Navy Intelligence Officer O'Neill joins the Special Forces Navy SEALs as a woman, and in order to gain recognition, she resolutely shaves her head.

For example, in "Young You", after Chen Nian was bullied, after her hair was cut and messed up, she simply asked Xiaobei to help her cut her hair short and trimmed, leaving a meaningful shot.

Of course, Wu Yuan does not agree with this metaphor.

But it is undeniable that whenever there is a plot to shave women's heads, whether it is active or passive, this type of movie, this kind of role, is more difficult to play, and it tests acting skills.

And this kind of movie, once it is made, it has the potential to become a masterpiece.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Young You" have won many awards, and "Donkey Gets Water" is also a masterpiece with great stamina.

If Liu Yifei tries to play this kind of role, she may really be able to win awards and make some breakthroughs in art awards.

But this was just a thought that Wu Yuan casually raised.

Think about it carefully, whether it is "Young Man" or "Donkey Gets Water", it is not easy for the heroines of these two movies to play well.

In comparison, "Young You" is more suitable for Liu Yifei, but Huang Xiaoya's performance in this movie is really good, so good that Wu Yuan will think of her face when he thinks of this movie.

And in "Donkey Gets Water", Ren Suxi also performed the essence and soul of this role.

It can be said that in both films, the actor makes the character, not the role makes the actor.

Liu Yifei's biggest disadvantage is that she is too beautiful.

If she comes to play "Young You", Chen Nian's tragic situation, I'm afraid she won't be able to act.

This has nothing to do with acting skills, it is purely an image disadvantage.

With the same makeup, let Huang Xiaoyao make up, it is called ugly and miserable, and it makes people sad to watch.

But if Liu Yifei is allowed to transform, although she can also look like she was violent, everyone will still pay more attention to her beauty.

Wu Yuan instantly understood at this moment why it was not easy for good-looking actors, whether they were Oscars or the top three in Europe, to win awards.

It's really difficult for them to perform the appearance of ordinary people and ordinary people.

Just by looking at your face, you won't feel that you are ordinary.

He also understood why Xiao Lizi was desperately ruining himself and turning a handsome face into a fat bitter gourd face.

Maybe this is where the humor of showbiz comes in.

is not a handsome man or a beautiful woman, he can't enter the showbiz, and he can't be a glamorous actor.

But if you want to play the top and best roles, you can't be handsome men and beautiful women, you have to be actors like Ren Suxi, Huang Xiaoya, and Huang Bo who have "ordinary faces" to resonate with the audience and make them pay attention to the story itself, rather than the image of the actors.

A beautiful face has made Liu Yifei a success, but it has also limited Liu Yifei.

"It's good that I'm not an actor." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

With his handsome face, if he goes to be an actor, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the three major European actors.

Fortunately, compared to "Donkey Gets Water", at least Liu Yifei in "Young You" can still give it a try.

Chen Nian, the heroine of this movie, is an honor student in school, weak on the outside, but a strong girl on the inside.

It's just that Huang Xiaoyao looks ordinary, so that this character is an ordinary girl in Wu Yuan's memory.

But no one stipulates that honor students can't be good-looking.

Maybe finding a good-looking actor will indeed make the movie lose a little color, so that the audience will be a little more distracted to pay attention to Liu Yifei's appearance when watching the movie, rather than the story, but the impact will not be so great.

In comparison, the role of Ren Suxi in "Donkey Gets Water" really has nothing to do with beauty, and this kind of black humorous comedy is not suitable for beautiful actors.

"Sissi, I do have an idea for a good script." Wu Yuan came back to his senses, looked directly into Liu Yifei's eyes, and said softly: "This is a story about teenagers and school violence. ”

"I have a hunch that if this story can be filmed well, the domestic three gold medals will be taken casually."

"But it's hard to act."

"It's a big challenge for you."

"Want to give it a try?"

"Yes!" Liu Yifei did not hesitate at all, "Campus violence, I also experienced it in the first few years when I came to the United States. ”

"I want to make this movie!"

Rest assured, there will be no real kiss scenes
