Li Guoli and several teachers from the directing team were watching the scene of the shooting. The scene was from the scene between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in [Fairy Island] a few days ago.
Although it has not been edited yet, Liu Yifei's true and emotional performance seems to overflow the screen, with a strong sense of immersion, which makes Li Guoli and others watch and admire, but also remain silent.
Half an hour later, the fast-forwarding scene finished playing.
Li Guoli asked An Yixuan next to him: "How is it? Are you sure? If you can't play Liu Yifei's emotions, then your role will probably be unflattering."
An Yixuan was silent.
Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan were not filming in Hengcheng these days, and none of them, the actors, went to join in the fun. They all stayed in the hotel, either acting together or having fun. Only the two leading actors, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, were there.
She doesn't know what Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will be like.
But when she recalled the various performances in the scene, especially Liu Yifei's, she was surprised.
Liu Yifei's every frown and smile are all drama.
Liu Yifei's eyes full of affection never left Chu Xuan.
Liu Yifei's subtle yet affectionate facial expression when facing Chu Xuan was very natural and life-like, not like acting.
Liu Yifei had such acting skills, which she could not have imagined.
But the picture proves that this is a fact that has already happened.
Liu Yifei acted so well, and through the dozen or so scenes in "Fairy Island", she completely created the role of "Zhao Ling'er", as if there were no flaws.
Under such circumstances, the character she plays, Lin Yueru, needs to be involved in the destiny-ordained love affair between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er according to the script's character design and plot requirements, forming an evenly matched love triangle, making "Sword and Fairy" even more exciting.
"The emotional lines of the characters are fuller and the whole drama is more three-dimensional, which is difficult.
Moreover, based on Liu Yifei's performance, this is very difficult.
"Director Li, Chu Xuan and I got to know each other after joining the group. I didn't know him at all before, and he didn't know me either. If I just express my feelings through lines and actions, I can interpret Lin Yueru as myself.
I like Li Xiaoyao's effect very much. But if I want to be like Liu Yifei, who expresses her emotions with expressions and eyes without using any lines or actions, this... I may not be able to do it," An Yixuan said.
Li Guoli nodded, An Yixuan's answer was what he expected.
After watching Liu Yifei's first scene that day, he originally wanted An Yixuan to express her emotions through her acting skills. As for Liu Yifei's good performance at the beginning, he was not too worried about how it would affect An Yixuan.
However, due to the perfect overall performance of Zhao Ling'er played by Liu Yifei in recent days, he thought that his idea had come to nothing.
Encountering a male and female team that seems to be a couple, an outsider can't really play the role, nor can a real actress play the role.
Because people have real feelings.
He doesn't blame An Yixuan for not being able to do it. This is no longer something that can be solved by acting skills.
"The role of Lin Yueru is very important." Li Guoli said to himself.
"I know." An Yixuan nodded, with a hint of sadness in her brows.
Liu Yifei's performance was so good that it made her feel a little complicated, but she didn't mean to blame Liu Yifei. This is Liu Yifei's ability.
But she herself does not have the ability to play Lin Yueru's emotional emotions to the same level as Liu Yifei, so that the love triangle can form a balance.
Based on this situation, once she, Lin Yueru, gets involved in the love affair between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er and gets together with Li Xiaoyao, she will be scolded to death by the audience.
This is equivalent to Zhao Ling'er's affection for Li Xiaoyao being 10 points, and her performance as Lin Yueru at most being 5 points.
With such a gap, if the audience is not blind, they can see the difference at a glance. Then she, Lin Yueru, is just like Director Li said, no matter how she plays, she will never be flattered.
"Go and see if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are awake, and ask them to come over." Li Guoli said.
…
Hengcheng, the sun is bright.
In a snack street, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were strolling around wearing sunglasses and masks.
They didn't go to bed until two or three in the morning and slept until noon. The two of them were starving.
Taking advantage of today's break without filming, Liu Yifei suggested that she and Chu Xuan go out to buy some snacks and take them back to eat together.
Liu Xiaoli immediately agreed, but the strange look in her eyes when she agreed made Liu Yifei's heart tremble.
——I was so scared at the time.
Liu Yifei also knew that her mother noticed something was wrong with her.
But like Chu Xuan said, just do whatever you want.
"How are you doing? Are you okay?" Chu Xuan asked.
"Half done." Liu Yifei replied.
Chu Xuan looked at the roadside food stall and said, "Is it half done?"
Liu Yifei blinked her eyebrows under her sunglasses and said, "I'll keep the other half to think about, but I'm not ready either."
Chu Xuan walked towards a snack bar and said: "I think about you with all my heart every day, but if you only keep half of it, then I am at a loss."
Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other, their eyebrows curved under their sunglasses.
She followed Chu Xuan to the snack stall. After taking a look at the snacks sold at the stall, she immediately frowned and said, "Don't eat this!"
"You don't like stinky tofu?" Chu Xuan said.
"I don't like it, it smells so bad, it's disgusting, let's go quickly." Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's arm and left without any nostalgia.
Chu Xuan was pulled by her for a while, looking dumbfounded.
The two of them continued to wander around, and at the request of Liu Yifei, they had to find food that both of them liked, which they called: the best of both worlds.
However, a phone call interrupted their leisure time.
"Director Li is looking for you, please go back."
"Um."
Although I have made it clear that I have a day off today, it is like this when I am on the set, and I often cannot help myself.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were already used to this and didn't take it seriously.
But they were all a little curious about Li Guoli's sudden summons.
Return to the hotel.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei placed the snacks in the living room of the suite, and walked into the director's room with curiosity.
After a brief greeting, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat down side by side on the sofa.
The presence of An Yixuan also made Chu Xuan slightly guess the reason why Li Guoli summoned them.
With Li Guoli's explanation, it was also confirmed that Chu Xuan's guess was correct.
With Liu Yifei's extremely emotional portrayal of Zhao Ling'er, An Yixuan's Lin Yueru would definitely be hated by the audience if she acted according to the current script.
"The teachers and I watched your play again and again this morning. Liu Yifei's emotional portrayal of Zhao Ling'er was perfect and very good. We also came to a conclusion together: Liu Yifei, your Zhao Ling'er and Chu Xuan's Li Xiaoyao have been locked together.
Okay. I wonder if you understand this?" Li Guoli said.
"Like Jack and Rose in "Titanic"?" Chu Xuan asked in a different way.
The assistant director thought for a moment, then nodded, "It can be understood this way. Liu Yifei, your and Chu Xuan's performance exceeded our imagination and achieved an effect we did not expect, but this effect is good. This seems to be
It's a good thing, but you all have the script. Based on the performance you present, this will have an impact on An Yixuan. We called you here just to ask what you think."
Li Guoli added: "What do you think about the role of Lin Yueru in An Yixuan? After all, this character is closely related to your play. If it needs to be changed, your play may also be changed. If it doesn't affect you, then I will
I won’t ask you to come. You should all be familiar with the script, so we want to hear if you have any suggestions or opinions.”
An Yixuan looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan reviewed the plot in the script and began to think deeply.
Lin Yueru is unruly, willful, and even arrogant. A character with this personality is the same as Li Xiaoyao. The few scenes the character appeared in were not lovable, and he was destined not to be liked by the audience at the beginning.
However, as the plot between Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao gradually deepens, Lin Yueru's character will change, just like Li Xiaoyao's character will change after meeting Zhao Ling'er.
Moreover, Lin Yueru will gradually fall in love with Li Xiaoyao, and will fall in love deeper and deeper.
The most important thing is that Li Xiaoyao will get along well with Lin Yueru.
However, there is a problem.
The emotions performed by Liu Yifei brought Zhao Ling'er's love for Li Xiaoyao to an extreme level.
If An Yixuan can't do this, then according to the plot, Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao will be together.
In this case, he, Li Xiaoyao, will definitely be scolded, and An Yixuan's Lin Yueru will be scolded even worse.
This is equivalent to Zhao Ling'er's emotional line for Li Xiaoyao crushing Lin Yueru's emotional line for Li Xiaoyao.
Just like Jack and Rose in "Titanic", if one of them gets romantically involved with the other, the movie will collapse.
Maybe this metaphor is not quite right, after all, the plot is different.
But the scenes in "Xianling Island", Liu Yifei's burst of emotions, the dreamlike feelings, the deep love after ten years of waiting, including the sweet scenes with real emotions between him and Liu Yifei before and after the wedding, will make people
The audience felt that Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao were like Jack and Rose.
——Indivisible.
Under such circumstances, even if An Yixuan's Lin Yueru has the most outstanding scene, it is also the turning scene of the plot, that is, in the Demon Locking Tower, she is willing to sacrifice her life to help Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, and finally dies.
Such a scene should have made the audience have a great change in their view of this character, and make them moved and shed tears.
However, after Liu Yifei played Zhao Ling'er and injected the ultimate emotional performance, the audience may not feel much about this scene, and may even wish Lin Yueru to die soon.
This goes against the original intention of Lin Yueru's existence in this drama and the corresponding plot.
"Director Li, dear teachers."
"I personally think there are two ways to solve this problem."
"The first one is the reshoot of the scene between me and Liu Yifei in [Fairy Island]."
"Second, fine-tune the script so that Li Xiaoyao only regards Lin Yueru as a friend, while Lin Yueru remains unchanged and continues to love Li Xiaoyao."
