Chapter 162 Scene Materials (Third update, 5000 monthly ticket for additional update)
Lu Zhixing said: "It's not about being a young actor. When we choose an actor, we mainly look at how well he matches the role.
"You can't refuse to hire actors just because they are famous, and you can't look down on them just because they are not famous.
"I think this Guo Yongqiang fits the image in my mind very well."
Li Rushan was stunned for a while after hearing this.
You can't refuse to invite an actor because he's a big name? You can't look down on him because he's not famous either. He said one thing after another, but...
Li Rushan was silent for a moment: "But Mr. Lu, this actor's style is not suitable! This is a kung fu theme."
Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "Who said ours must be a Kung Fu theme? Wrong! Ours is a Kung Fu and literary theme, and there are some elements of literary films in it."
"Pfft!" Li Rushan almost vomited blood, "Kung fu and literary film? Never heard of it! Moreover, Guo Yongqiang is neither a kung fu movie nor a literary film, he is a comedy!"
This level of outrageousness made Li Rushan find it a little hard to accept.
Of course, from an emotional point of view, Li Rushan certainly hopes that his money can be spent smoothly and never come back to him again, but his rationality still makes him cry out when he encounters such an outrageous situation.
It was previously agreed that "Dou Pou Martial Arts" is a kung fu film, so how come it adds elements of an art film even though it doesn't agree with it?
The key is to find a comedian to play...
This can only be said to be sewn together.
Lu Zhixing smiled: "Is it outrageous? I think it's okay. I heard that before Guo Yongqiang made his acting debut, he practiced serious training in the Shaolin Temple for more than ten years when he was a child, so he has a very good foundation.
"And his acting skills are definitely no problem. Although he has acted in comedies before, there is a saying that the core of comedy is tragedy. Those who can act well in comedies, especially sketches, can then act in other films.
The subject matter is all at hand, so it's not a problem.
"How about we ask Guo Yongqiang himself for his opinion? I think he should cherish this opportunity to break through himself."
Li Rushan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although he hoped that Mr. Lu would think outside the box, it was still beyond his psychological ability to jump to such an extent.
But he didn't know that Lu Zhixing was really serious.
Because this Guo Yongqiang reminded him of a famous actor in his previous life.
Of course, the two of them look nothing alike, but one thing they have in common is that neither of them is handsome.
Although the shapes are not very similar, the gods are particularly similar.
Guo Yongqiang also became popular step by step by playing a slightly silly supporting role in his debut, but his acting career has not yet opened up at this time. At present, he is at most a relatively famous gold medal supporting role, and he is completely limited to the original role framework.
But since he had acting skills, attitude, and a foundation in kung fu, Lu Zhixing felt that he could definitely give it a try.
Li Rushan saw that Lu Zhixing looked confident, so he said nothing more.
Then leave everything to Wolong, and I can sit back and relax!
"Mr. Lu, what's the name of this villain? We're going to make an appointment with Guo Yongqiang. Let's not talk about the outline of the story. At least this character must have a name, right?"
Lu Zhixing said: "I have thought about it and call it 'Fengshu'."
Li Rushan: "Fengshu? Does this name mean anything?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course it has meaning.
"'Feng' and 'Crazy' are homophonic, because this character is a martial arts madman, showing the side of martial arts madness and madness.
“‘Tree’ represents his original identity: a farmer digging in the soil, a forgotten person in a marginal town, representing loneliness, silence, tenacity, and resignation.
"These two words represent his two faces respectively. How about, these two images are contrasting enough? This transformation of temperament is the most perfect disguise.
"And what's even more interesting is that the two words "Fengshu" put together have some special meanings.
"Sealing the tree happens to be a kind of funeral in ancient times.
"Gathering earth to form a tomb is called a seal, and planting a tree to mark it is called a tree. The venerable person has a high hill and many trees; the humble person has a tall mound and few trees.
"In other words, sealing the tree means sealing the soil and planting trees, and it also means sealing the coffin and finalizing the decision. If your status is high, then the soil in the tomb will be piled high and the trees will be planted lushly; if your status is low,
, then it’s just the opposite, the sealed mounds are low and the trees are sparse.
"The image of 'Sealing the Tree' has both a noble and a humble identity. He can be a peerless master who has become crazy in martial arts, or he can be a confused and numb farmer. What he wants in his life is nothing more than sealing the soil and planting trees.
The coffin is sealed.”
Li Rushan was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Good guy, so to speak, he is still a very complex and charming villain?
"Okay, then I will ask someone to contact Guo Yongqiang's agent later to see if he has any schedule and whether he is interested in this role."
In this way, several main actors were basically finalized.
While the two were chatting, the first filming location arrived.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, that's it. This place is a bit run down. Basically no one lives there anymore. It can't be demolished. Please be careful."
Qin Shang got out of the car first and led the two of them inside.
At this time, they were still in Jinghai, even quite close to the city center, but there was no sign of the prosperity of a big city at all in this area.
Although Jinghai is developing rapidly and the bustling areas are already filled with high-rise buildings, there are also many places with a sense of age.
Especially during the development process, many old buildings in the old city were deliberately protected and were not demolished deliberately, but were developed into surrounding areas. Therefore, many buildings with a sense of age are still preserved in many places in Jinghai.
That's the case here.
Everywhere you look, there are some old buildings that look quite dated, basically on the second floor. You can also see some shops near the roadside, such as "Wrapped Steamed Rice Dumplings" and "Time-honored Charcoal Porcelain Store".
” or “Ceramic Sculpture General Store” or the like, but if you go deeper inside, you will see some old buildings that look like they have been uninhabited for a long time.
It is somewhat similar to an urban village, but in style, it is very different from urban villages in other cities.
This venue is Feng Shu’s residence, and there will be several scenes of him practicing here.
The three of them continued walking inside and came to an old building that was quite dilapidated. Only the main structure of the two-story building was left, and it was filled with broken bricks and debris.
Lu Zhixing looked around and then nodded: "This place is good, we can settle on it.
"After that, I will arrange some sandbags, bricks, wooden mannequins and the like, and it feels right."
Qin Shang made a note in his small notebook: "Okay, then Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, let's continue to the next place."
After that, Qin Shang drove the two of them to other filming locations.
…
In the next few days, Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan ran out every day, basically busy with filming.
There are mainly five remaining scenes to be shot.
It can also be seen as each character having his or her own home ground.
Among them, Zhao Huaien, who is good at boxing, plays at a modern boxing gym, Tan Zili, who is good at kicking, plays at a nightclub in a bustling commercial center, Fang Tailai, who is good at grappling, plays at a sculpture art gallery, and Feng Qinghui, who is good at swordsmanship, plays at a
A sanatorium hidden in the mountains.
Of course, Feng Shu also has his own home ground, which is the abandoned and dilapidated urban village.
In addition, there is also the place where Feng Shu lived before coming to the city, a marginal, deserted town.
Although these scenes are very clear, it is not easy to find suitable shooting locations.
Here in the village in the city, Lu Zhixing finalized it very quickly, but the next few scenes always felt a little not quite right, so he changed the location several times.
The place Qin Shang was looking for this time was not only the actual scenes in Jinghai, but also some scenes from a nationally famous film and television base near Jinghai.
After much searching, Lu Zhixing finally found a few scenes that he was basically satisfied with and finalized them all.
Although the framing requirements have been basically completed this time, Lu Zhixing also knows that as the themes of his own games change in the future, it will definitely become more and more difficult to find suitable real-life scenes directly in reality.
What if even the film and television city cannot meet your requirements?
At that point, you will have to spend your own money to create the actual scenes.
Maybe even spend your own money to build a large-scale film and television city.
Of course, that's all for later.
After preliminarily finalizing the location for the live shooting, Lu Zhixing started the next task without stopping.
