Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min folded their arms in tacit understanding and sat opposite each other, but remained silent and frowned slightly.
The assistant directors and instructors nearby also remained silent, waiting for the two people's decision.
——There was something wrong with the scene just now.
After being silent for some time, Zhang Jizhong raised his eyebrows and said, "In this scene just now, what do you think of Murong Fu, Chu Xuan?"
"Impeccable." Yu Min spoke first.
"Completely worthy of playing [Nan Murong]." said an assistant director.
"He perfectly presented the Murong Fu that we fine-tuned for him," the scriptwriting teacher said.
"This is not a Murong Fu who was cast just to set off Duan Yu. This is a Murong Fu who has his own story. In this single scene, Chu Xuan completely brought this Murong Fu to life," said the acting instructor.
.
"All movements and positions, including the detailed movements of the hands and the frequency of trembling, are all fine. In terms of movement, they are perfect," said director Zhao Jian.
Zhang Jizhong nodded: "If you look at the world from God's perspective, then everyone is an independent individual and everyone is the protagonist. But what we are filming is a TV series, so it has the distinction of leading and supporting roles. This scene just now
, except for the scene with Liu Yifei that shocked me, I only have Chu Xuan and Murong Fu in my eyes, not Duan Yu, not Duan Zhengchun, not Yue Laoer."
Zhang Jizhong sighed: "Everyone has seen Chu Xuan's performance just now. Its excellence can be said to be unquestionable. But the protagonist of this scene must be Duan Yu, not Murong Fu. What do you think?
Let’s do it.”
Yu Min and several assistant directors looked at each other, a little worried.
When fine-tuning the script, they had already considered whether Chu Xuan's acting skills would overwhelm Lin Zhiying and Hu Jun.
Murong Fu is the first supporting actor. Chu Xuan can play any role, but he can't play the protagonist.
Supporting roles overwhelm the protagonists? This is the biggest taboo in film and television dramas, and it is also the bottom line that the director team cannot agree with.
This is a matter of principle.
Hu Jun can be ruled out, he is an actor after all.
Judging from the situation of Lin Zhiying's audition at that time, even though she was a little worse than Chu Xuan, under their judgment, it was impossible for her to be unable to catch even the scenes. After all, Lin Zhiying has made movies for so many years, so she is a
It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s a veteran actor.
In this case, even if Chu Xuan's performance is dazzling, they can still highlight Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu by giving more close-ups.
But their judgment was wrong. In the scene where Lin Zhiying was knocked to the ground by Chu Xuan, Lin Zhiying was obviously suppressed, and the look on her face was wrong.
This is not a matter of close-ups or no close-ups, the characters are not acted correctly, and close-ups can only have the opposite effect.
Yu Min promptly called stop a few minutes ago.
Just when they were worried about this serious situation, Chu Xuan didn't know what he said to Lin Zhiying. Lin Zhiying seemed to have an idea, and she was never suppressed again.
it's great.
However, it is a good thing that he is not overshadowed, but if a supporting role is too good, it does not matter whether the protagonist is overshadowed or not.
"I only have Chu Xuan in my eyes, and the others seem to be invisible!" This was how they felt when they watched the actors' performances in the camera a few minutes ago.
However, the supporting role completely overshadowed the protagonist. Is it to blame Chu Xuan for not knowing the rules?
"But they acted it out exactly according to the fine-tuned script. No scenes, no words, no shots. There are no flaws at all. Is it because Chu Xuan is too good?" Yu Min
Several people smiled bitterly.
"Brother Zhang." Yu Min said amusedly: "It would have been better if Chu Xuan had played Duan Yu. As a protagonist, no matter how good the performance was, things like this would never happen."
"No, I still have to play Murong Fu." Zhang Jizhong shook his head, "The upper limit of the role of Duan Yu is not high. Letting Chu Xuan play Duan Yu is a waste of his acting skills. It is better to act in other TV series."
Yu Min couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect Zhang Jizhong to recognize Chu Xuan so much, but considering Chu Xuan's performance on the day of the audition and the past few days, it was normal for him to be recognized by Zhang Jizhong.
"Brother Zhang, please edit Chu Xuan's scenes a little in post-production?" an assistant director suggested.
"What's the use of just cutting? Then the plot will be interesting intermittently?" Zhang Jizhong glanced at him.
The assistant director scratched his head.
"Fine-tune the script again? Or perform it according to the original version?" the screenwriting teacher suggested.
"This has nothing to do with the script." Zhao Jian, the director who is responsible for action design, shook his head and said: "Just like Chu Xuan's expressiveness just now, his eyes were all drama, the micro-expressions on his face were all drama, and the action of drawing the sword in his hand was all drama
It’s all a play, and every step you take is also a play!”
"What does this have to do with the script?" Zhao Jian glanced at the screenwriter, "At this level, even if you give him a rubbish script, he can still perform well!"
The words just fell.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and other actors came over.
"Producer Zhang, Director Yu..." the actors greeted each other one after another.
The director team nodded in response, and Zhang Jizhong brought up the viewfinder lens and said, "See for yourself."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and other actors approached the viewfinder.
All the actors had already speculated on the road that there might be something wrong with the fight scene just now, but they didn't know exactly where the problem was.
Now that they saw the scene in the camera, they frowned at just one glance.
When Chu Xuan and Lin Zhiying played against each other in the first scene, they felt something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.
It wasn't until two actors, Tang Zhengzong and Li Yu, joined the scene that they suddenly understood.
——Chu Xuan is too dazzling!
Not to mention these actors, even Wang Jinhua saw the problem, so this is really a problem.
Obviously, the supporting characters overshadowed the protagonists.
But what to do?
Hu Jun, Cheng Hao and other actors looked at Zhang Jizhong and then at Chu Xuan. Seeing that both parties were silent and seemed to be thinking, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Is there anything wrong with Chu Xuan's acting?
No!
Hu Jun knew that the production team changed the script for Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan must have acted according to the script.
Now that it has reached this level, we can only say that Chu Xuan is excellent, and it is not Chu Xuan's fault that he overshadowed Lin Zhiying.
In the camera, Chu Xuan's interpretation of Murong Fu's aura is full, so you can really only see Chu Xuan and not Lin Zhiying.
But the problem is, Lin Zhiying's acting is fine.
This is the most important thing!
In this scene, Duan Yu was supposed to be playful and carefree at first. Even though Duan Zhengchun was seriously injured by Murong Fu, Duan Yu awakened the [Six Meridians Divine Sword] and became serious.
A vice-boyish look.
This kind of Duan Yu cannot be aura or imposing, because it does not conform to the character's youthful nature and his simple personality.
However, Duan Yu, who had no aura or momentum, met Murong Fu who had full aura.
All the actors can imagine that after the TV broadcast, the audience will only be attracted by Chu Xuan as Murong Fu, but not Lin Zhiying as Duan Yu. They may even find the playful Duan Yu a bit annoying.
This goes against the original intention of filming this scene, which was to show Duan Yu's awakening of the [Six Meridians Divine Sword].
The problem was found, but what to do?
Only the word "death" has been changed in the lines, the direction of the plot has not changed at all, the plot has not changed at all, and the outcome of the development of things has also not changed. Except for a few actions, everything is almost the same as the original work.
But Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, can overshadow Duan Yu. This only shows that Chu Xuan has fully demonstrated the charm of Murong Fu. This charm cannot be described in words. It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
.
From this point of view, this seems difficult to do.
"Producer Zhang, Director Yu, let's reshoot it."
Suddenly, Chu Xuan looked away from the viewfinder and looked at Zhang Jizhong and Yu Mindao.
Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Jizhong glanced at Chu Xuan with surprise and appreciation, and said, "What do you think?"
With everyone's attention focused on him, Chu Xuan murmured: "Producer Zhang, you asked me to play Murong Fu as [Aura]. This may be good in a scene where Murong Fu is alone or in a scene with other characters, but in this case
It might not be appropriate in the scene."
Chu Xuan added: "In those scenes just now, I used this acting method to interpret Murong Fu. It was obviously too much, which is not a good thing for the whole scene and will also affect the final presentation of this drama."
Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Jizhong: "So, I think that in this scene, we should give up the [spiritual energy] on Murong Fu, and then slowly lower his posture. Until the final confrontation with Duan Yu, his posture should be at least as low as
Let the audience see Murong Fu's embarrassment, and then give Duan Yu more close-ups. In this way, the halo around Murong Fu will be reduced, and Duan Yu will be highlighted."
Chu Xuan smiled at Zhang Jizhong and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Jizhong's eyes were very appreciative: "The actors I have seen all try to make their roles better. This is the first time I have seen an actor trying to make his role worse. Are you sure you want to act like this?"
As he said that, Zhang Jizhong glanced at the viewfinder and said with a smile: "You performed very well just now. Really, it would be a pity if you were replaced."
Chu Xuan smiled when he heard this: "Then can you make a backup copy of the scene just now and let me take it back as a souvenir?"
Zhang Jizhong was slightly stunned, and then said happily: "I can satisfy you with this!"
"Thank you, Producer Zhang." Chu Xuan smiled.
Zhang Jizhong nodded, with a smile on his face, and said to the actors: "Then everyone, please go back to the set. We will start reshooting as soon as you are ready. Thank you for your hard work."
Chu Xuan turned around and walked out with Liu Yifei and the others.
Yu Min looked away and said: "Reshooting is the only way, but I didn't expect that Chu Xuan would take the initiative, which surprised me."
Zhang Jizhong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Why did you think I was so embarrassed just now? When I was a director, even if I cursed, it was always to make the actors perform better. How can any director persuade an actor to perform poorly? I have no shame.
This mouth, and Wang Jinhua is here, I'm afraid of being criticized by her."
Yu Min laughed.
Zhang Jizhong suddenly looked at him and said: "What Chu Xuan just said was all about considering the final effect of the whole scene. This reminds me of what a senior said to me."
"What?" Yu Min raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Jizhong said with a smile: "Those who pursue art must be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time."
Yu Min was dumbfounded. It seemed that Zhang Jizhong's appreciation for Chu Xuan had grown to a higher level.
At this time, Chu Xuan and the others had already walked out about ten meters away.
Zhang Jizhong glanced at Chu Xuan who was walking away.
In Zhang Jizhong's eyes, Chu Xuan, who was communicating with the actors, was smiling as usual while talking and laughing, his demeanor remained elegant, and he remained steady while walking.
——Extremely free and easy.
It seems that he doesn't feel any regret at all because the brilliant aspects of the role he performed were cut away.
He has such strength and structure, but he is also so free and easy.
Zhang Jizhong suddenly remembered a saying - don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Looking at Chu Xuan's back, he felt inexplicably as if he was looking at an artist.
Zhang Jizhong was very emotional, and he was so excited for no reason that he slammed the table as if he had lost his temper, then reached out and pointed at Chu Xuan's back, and said to the director:
