This day is not even close to Chu Xuan, a college student, but if everything goes well today, then today will be the day when Chu Xuan, Murong Fu, completes his career.
Although it is already June, the climate here in Yunnan Province is quite good, mild and cool. If it were in places like Star City and Mountain City, it would probably be as hot as a copper furnace.
The staff on the set shuttled back and forth to set up the scene and add props that should be used in the play. Actors also came one after another to watch Chu Xuan's play.
However, the set was about to be ready, and the actors who were watching the show rushed to the set as if they were gathering. However, in the director's tent in front of the viewfinder, a minor dispute occurred.
In front of the viewfinder, the director's team sat in a circle.
Yu Min lowered his head and glanced at the script, then raised his head and said to Chu Xuan: "You, Murong Fu, have been very high-profile from the first scene. You have performed a high-altitude yet aloof and arrogant feeling, gentle and elegant yet extremely arrogant. So.
I think that in order to better suit the character, it would be more appropriate to act this scene according to the script we modified for you. Don’t kneel, it would be better to maintain Murong Fu’s arrogant and conceited posture."
In the next scene, Murong Fu experienced Duan Yu's blow, Wang Yuyan's throwing herself into a well, and the failure of Xixia's marriage. In despair, he found the only hope for the restoration of the country - paying homage to Duan Yanqing.
As a foster father, he used the power of Dali to restore the country.
When Murong Fu worshiped Duan Yanqing as his adoptive father, should he kneel or not? This was a point of contention between Yu Min and Chu Xuan.
In the original version, Murong Fu was kneeling.
In this version, in order to allow Murong Fu, Chu Xuan, to maintain his airy attitude, [kneel down] was changed to [not kneel down].
Chu Xuan had opinions on this, so he came to the director team to discuss it with Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min. This was also the first time he raised objections.
"I still feel like I have to kneel down." Chu Xuan said to Yu Min.
Then, Chu Xuan raised his smile again and said: "However, we are just actors, and you are all bosses. You have the final say on how to act, and I will do it."
"Haha..." The director laughed.
Zhang Jizhong also laughed loudly, patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, and said: "You kid, everyone has a different understanding of characters. It's normal to have objections. Let's discuss it together. What you said made me, the crew, look like
Are you practicing hegemony without even having the basic right to speak? This is not right."
Yu Min and others laughed when they heard this, and at the same time rolled their eyes inwardly.
This is Chu Xuan. If any other young actor raised objections, I guess you would be kicked out if you just said "go away".
Zhang Jizhong thought for a moment about the argument between Yu Min and Chu Xuan, and said, "Let's do this. The original version of [Kneel] and the revised version of [No Kneel] will each evolve. Which one is better, let's let the camera speak for itself."
Yu Min nodded and said "yes", then smiled at Chu Xuan and said: "Xiao Xuan, if my point of view is right, will you treat me to dinner?"
Chu Xuan raised a smile: "If my point of view is right, will you invite me, Director Yu?"
Yu Min narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Of course."
Zhang Jizhong smiled, waved his hand and said, "Go and get ready."
Chu Xuan stood up and walked out.
——The studio.
In an ancient lobby-style building, the actors were each finding their own state. Teacher Chu Xuan and Ji Chunhua sat opposite each other.
Chu Xuan was also silent. Thinking of his reinterpretation of the character Murong Fu before filming this scene, his thoughts began to surge.
He understood Yu Min's words. Murong Fu did not kneel when he asked Duan Yanqing to be his adoptive father. He looked more handsome, more demonic, more arrogant, and more arrogant. It was in line with the director and screenwriter team's fine-tuning of Murong Fu's character.
set up.
After all, the Murong Fu he played is different from the Murong Fu played by Mr. Xiu Qing in the original version. From the very beginning, he waved a fan and sank a ship, pretended to be a Xixia Yipintang warrior, accidentally broke into the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, etc.
His Murong Fu temperament was leisurely and indifferent, like a man of letters; his gentleness and elegance when facing the heroes made him look like an elegant person; and his high posture when facing Qiao Feng in Shaoshi Mountain made him look like a top-notch man.
Even in the embarrassment after being defeated by Duan Yu, after several shots, he, Murong Fu, was still leisurely when he left the scene.
Yu Min's intention was to let him, Murong Fu, maintain this posture and give Murong Fu a final image that was elegant even though he lowered his posture to ask for help.
However, Chu Xuan's thoughts were completely opposite to Yu Min's.
Everyone is in different situations, encounters different things, and their current state of mind and actions are different.
Just like the Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry: when we meet someone who can joke, we'll be funny; when we meet serious people, we'll be serious; when we meet big guys, we'll be a bit licky; when we meet common people, we'll be funny
Be natural; when meeting juniors, let's be friendly; in serious situations, let's be steady.
No one maintains the same attitude, character, and character from beginning to end of their life. If they do, then this is not a human being, it is a robot.
Therefore, if you want to live well in the human world, life will be like alms, meeting people with thousands of faces, nothing more than this.
Naturally, Murong Fu should do the same.
Before Murong Fu became a demon, the people and things he encountered were not enough to make him lose his temper, so it was in line with his character to remain elegant.
However, when Murong Fu faced a turning point in his life after becoming a demon, there should be corresponding changes in his character and reversed words and deeds.
This is just like in real life, a high school student who pins his hopes on the college entrance examination. The high school student's excellent performance makes him very proud and is a popular target in school. However, when the college entrance examination scores come down, he only takes a junior college exam.
What should this high school student do?
Are you too ashamed to see others? Are you depressed and want to commit suicide? Are you hiding at home every day, afraid to go out? Are you afraid to reply to your classmates’ WeChat messages? Are you afraid to go out when your friends ask you to? Or should you regain your composure and repeat your studies?
One incident makes a heart originally full of hope become fragmented and complicated, and its words and deeds will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.
And if this high school student is given a chance at this time, it will be an opportunity that is not inferior to that of attending Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Chu Xuan thought that in such a broken state of mind, most people would choose to grasp it, even if they give up their dignity!
Therefore, facing the only hope of national restoration, Murong Fu must kneel down!!
"boom."
Chu Xuan lifted up his robe with his right hand, knelt down without hesitation, and kowtowed to Duan Yanqing, played by Ji Chunhua.
With this kneeling, the nobility, elegance, leisurely, and elegance that Chu Xuan had deduced from Murong Fu after two months no longer existed!
With this kneeling, Chu Xuan, the elegant and handsome image of Murong Fu, may become fragmented in the eyes of the audience!
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I heard that His Highness has no son, and I would like to ask His Highness to accept me as his adopted son. We can work together to achieve great things."
When Chu Xuan said this line, he licked his face and smiled, his tone full of frivolity, temptation and desire.
He looks like a complete villain!
He was completely different from the previous Murong Fu who was extremely calm and arrogant!
In front of the viewfinder.
The eyes of Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and others were a little complicated and they had a lot of thoughts.
The handsome young man who was created by Chu Xuan himself, the dashing scholar, the elegant Suzhou native, the elegant Murong Fu... disappeared.
And this Murong Fu, who was like a villain, knelt before the leader of villains, begging for mercy?
They suddenly had a feeling.
This scene seems like Sun Wukong, instead of working hard for one thing, knelt down in front of the Bull Demon King and begged for help.
This is an insult to Sun Wukong!
It will definitely make the audience angry!
The people on the directing team also felt the same way about Chu Xuan's current Murong Fu.
Hate it for not fighting!
As a descendant of the Yan royal family, I went to worship Duan Yanqing as my adoptive father and was angry at him for his unfilial piety!
And this is exactly the effect Chu Xuan wants to deduce.
Why is Sun Wukong liked by so many people?
If Sun Wukong was unruly and unruly from beginning to end, without distinguishing between right and wrong, would so many people still like him? Chu Xuan put a question mark in his mind.
What Chu Xuan understands is that since Sun Wukong came out of Wuzhi Mountain and bowed to Tang Monk, Sun Wukong has changed. He has become kind, interesting, tolerant, and affectionate. This is what the audience loves most.
The Sun Wukong.
Chu Xuan plays the role of Murong Fu. He does not expect and cannot perform the role of Sun Wukong at a height that seems to last forever and will be remembered by the audience forever.
But as an actor, he naturally hopes that his role can be remembered by the audience.
If he, Murong Fuzhen, is just floating from beginning to end, then this character may surprise the audience for a while, but he will never be remembered by the audience forever.
Because this kind of person who looks perfect or has only one attitude only exists in a false world, and will only be misunderstood and forgotten by people over time.
How to be remembered by the audience?
One sentence.
——The performance makes humanity understandable to the general public!
As long as the audience understands it, no matter whether it is love or hate, they will resonate. When resonance occurs, the audience will naturally deeply remember this character and this actor.
This is also what Chu Xuan, an actor, has been pursuing in his previous life and worked hard for it for half his life.
"Click!"
"pass!"
In front of the viewfinder, Yu Min put down the walkie-talkie and sighed softly: "Xiaoxuan is really ruthless and a really good actor. He dares to tear his character into pieces. This requires a lot of courage. Just this scene.
It will definitely be abandoned and despised by the audience."
Saying that, Yu Min smiled at Zhang Jizhong and said: "But I am convinced by our teacher Xiao Chu's level of understanding of characters. This kneeling is right. At least, even me, the director, had a big mood swing just now.
I hate it, hate it for not fighting, and despise it. Under the comparison of Xiaoxuan and Murong Fu, I feel a little sad. It can be said to be a mixed bag of emotions."
The people on the directing team smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then why don't you shoot a scene [without kneeling]?" Zhang Jizhong asked with a smile.
"Shoot me! If I don't want to shoot anymore, I want this shot. It's such a good performance." Yu Min smiled and waved her hands.
The people nearby smiled.
At this time, Chu Xuan came towards this side, and Liu Yifei met her and said, "Brother Xuan, the way you acted Murong Fu just now made me want to hit you. It's so undignified."
Hu Jun, Cheng Hao and others laughed when they heard this. Hu Jun said with a smile: "That's right. If you have this emotion, it means Xiaoxuan's acting is good."
With a smile on his face, Chu Xuan asked Yu Min: "How are you, Director Yu?"
With a smile on her face, Yu Min said, "If your final scene goes well, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."
"No more scenes [without kneeling]?" Chu Xuan said with a smile.
"No more filming." Yu Min waved his hand.
Zhang Jizhong crossed his arms and smiled at Chu Xuan: "Let's change the scene. Finishing your scene as soon as possible will be considered a completion."
