"In the Name of the People" brings together more than 80 veteran actors, and in the words of producer Gao Yalin, it's a blast. It's a blast to have so many veteran actors acting together.
Most of the drama is played by men, but among the few female characters, Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng played by Hu Jing shine as brightly as any other male actors.
But what surprised Li He the most was the acting skills of veteran drama actor Hou Yong. When Hou Yong came to the crew to report, Li He also chatted with him, mainly asking about the filming of "The Fission of the Qin Empire".
Hou Yong's scenes were all shot late at night, but it did not affect his performance at all. Li He observed the whole process and found that Lu Yi was suppressed throughout the whole process, without any room for fighting back.
Li He couldn't help but introduce Lu Yi's character Hou Liangping, and found that even if he could handle the role of Hou Liangping better, he would be overshadowed by Zhao Dehan played by Hou Yong. Here is the setting of Hou Liangping's character
On the one hand, and on the other hand, Hou Yong's acting skills are so outstanding.
After the scene ended, Lu Yi came down and said to Li He with a wry smile: "I finally understand why you rejected this role. It's too difficult."
Li He shrugged and said, "I can't help it. This role is difficult to play, but Teacher Hou Yong is really awesome. I admire him very much."
Teacher Hou Yong almost vomited when he ate noodles with garlic. At this moment, he was feeling angry. Hearing what Li He said, he quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm in trouble. I've eaten more than 20 bowls of noodles in the past two days. I'm almost exhausted."
So full."
Lu Yi begged for mercy: "Teacher Hou, I'm sorry. I didn't perform well and made you suffer."
"Hey, it's all work. It's normal to have to do it again if you don't perform well. Don't have any psychological burden. We'll play the scene again later and just try to pass it." Hou Yong said.
"Okay, I'll keep working hard." Lu Yi's promise was a bit reluctant.
In the end, Hou Yong's scene was filmed for a week, and Lu Yi himself was dumbfounded by the end of the filming, but later he realized that he had been dumbfounded too early, because there was a more terrifying boss waiting for him.
As the youngest main actor in the crew, Li Hyuk's acting skills are indeed one of the best, especially his scenes with Zhang Zhijian, which immediately impressed several veteran actors who looked down upon him because of his age.
In private, he nicknamed Li Hyuk the Little Devil, which means that Li Hyuk acts like a devil, and most people can't handle it.
Lu Yi was completely confused when he saw Li He as an actor. When he and Li He acted, he even couldn't speak his lines well because of the pressure. It's simple. Compared with the veteran actors, Lu Yi's acting was normal.
Mesozoic actors have never been famous for their acting skills. But even Li Hyuk, who is more than ten years younger than him, is a bit shameful for an actor born in the 1990s.
When the TV series is aired, you can imagine what kind of criticism he will receive. Thinking of this, Lu Yi even suffered from insomnia for several nights, thus delaying the filming progress of the crew.
Li He still had to report to the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2", but he didn't have time to spend time here with Lu Yi. Director Li Lu had no choice but to ask a psychologist to provide counseling to Lu Yi.
However, psychologists are not good at it. The next scene where Hou Liangping went to the Hongmen Banquet was supposed to be a scene where Lu Yi shined. In the end, Li He dominated the entire rhythm. Compared with Qi Tongwei played by Li He
, Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, is as simple as a young cat-headed guy who just started working.
After a scene, Li Lu thought it was not up to par, so he discussed the scene with Lu Yi alone. Li He came down to rest, and Wu Gang came over to give Li He a thumbs up and said: "Your acting skills, if everyone didn't know your experience,
I thought you were just an old official and scheming."
"Nowhere can he be as cunning as your Secretary Li Dakang." Li He said.
In fact, the character Li Dakang is also a villain in the setting of the script, and the ending is also fatal. But Teacher Wu Gang's performance was so great and touching, so Director Li Lu discussed with screenwriter Zhou Meisen to give Teacher Wu Gang a plus.
The drama was successfully cleared and landed, and it became a serious mission.
Because of the complexity of the character Li Dakang, Mr. Wu Gang has quite a lot of room to play when performing. Several scenes have impressed many experienced actors in the crew.
"Director Qi, let's do it again. You need to calm down your momentum. Just now, the momentum of the official boss was too strong. The deputy director couldn't handle the scene." Li Lu finished explaining the scene to Lu Yi and then said to Li He.
Li He said that he understood: "OK, I will try to feel it for a while."
After a while, the set was ready, and Li He, Lu Yi, and the other two co-actors Hu Jing and Feng Lei returned to the set.
"Okay, everyone is in your place. Let's do it again. The teachers are ready."
"The scene is quiet..."
"The scene is quiet..."
"1,2,3, start..."
The camera started filming. Qi Tongwei, played by Li He, drank a glass of wine with Hou Liangping in a leisurely manner. The wine was just water and it was impossible to actually drink. If you were drunk, you wouldn't be able to shoot.
"Brother, I really want to tell you what's on my mind today." Qi Tongwei looked at Hou Liangping with a particularly sincere expression.
"Oh, you should have spoken your mind a long time ago. Old senior, you said you put so much effort into it and I took such a big risk. How about we not share a few words between us? Is it worth sleeping?"
Lu Yi performed well, and the tone of this line was well grasped. Li Lu nodded while looking at the monitor.
Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said: "No, wait, wait, you take the risk, you mean we are having a Hongmen Banquet, right?"
"Hey, I admitted it myself!"
Several people laughed, and the eyes of the veteran actors who were watching were all brightened up. During the dinner, the laughter was hidden and the swords were drawn. The few minutes of the scene were full of drama and tension, and it was really enjoyable.
This episode went smoothly. Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li He when he came down: "Forget it. Next time I take on a role, I have to watch it carefully. If it were you, I would think about it carefully."
Teacher Hu Jing smiled and said: "Our deputy director has been having nightmares these past few days, and it's all caused by you, Director Qi."
"Is it such an exaggeration? No way?" Li He said he couldn't believe it.
Li Lu clapped his hands and interrupted the discussion: "Okay, everyone performed well this time. Director Hou, you have to maintain your state today. Director Qi is good, but his aura is too strong, so he still needs to perform well when acting.
Be more restrained."
"I know the director..."
In fact, Lu Yi's performance as Hou Liangping was good enough despite the flaws in his character design. It can only be said that he tried his best.
Some people may ask, since there is a problem with the character setting, wouldn't it be okay to change the setting? In fact, this is not the case. The subject matter of this drama is very sensitive after all. In order to pass the review, other supporting characters can change, but the protagonist cannot.
It is the light of the right path, otherwise there will be trouble in the broadcast later.
There is nothing we can do about this. Sometimes we have to make some trade-offs and compromises. Li Lu was able to bring together so many veteran actors and national first-class actors with great ambition, just to present a good drama to the audience.
Li Hyuk also brought money to join the crew. Of course, he hopes that the filming of the drama will be better and better, so even though it has exceeded the schedule, Li Hyuk still stays on the crew and cooperates with Li Lu's filming.
Wu Jing also expressed his understanding and planned to make a guest appearance if he couldn't get away.
