Chapter 686: Is it possible to adjust the southern accent to the northern tune?

So, this time, if Xiaoxia hadn't taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, Wu Di wouldn't have talked to him. Of course, he was able to talk to Xiaoxia because he had reached a critical point.

He couldn't bear it anymore!

That sucks!

It really sucks!

If you don't take care of it anymore, it will really be ruined!

It's time to take action.

"Xiao Wu, how do you feel about filming these days? I think you don't have many scenes yet. You should adjust your condition now and try to shoot better in the heavy scenes later."

Xiaoxia is also a decent person. Even if she wants to find out information, she can't get straight to the point right away. She always has to make a few detours.

After all, Xiao Xia still couldn't figure out Wu Di's identity, and Wu Di was Lao Zhang's prospective son-in-law, and he was definitely one of his own.

If you accidentally violate a taboo, it will be terrible.

"Director Xia, if you have anything to ask, just say it. I feel pretty good. The important thing is, are you okay?"

Ah...this...

Young man, why do you speak so directly?

How bad is this?

How can the old-timers continue to do this?

Director Xia touched the back of his head and looked very embarrassed: "Since you are so frank, I won't be polite."

"Xiao Wu, do you feel that there is something wrong with the filming progress these days? Something is wrong. How should I put it? It just feels weird."

"Especially the comedy part that I'm responsible for. Although I did follow the rhythm of the script, and the actors' filming, there is no problem if taken alone, but when spliced ​​together, it will look awkward no matter how you look at it.

."

"What do you think?"

Wu Di smiled happily. If he could find the problem, Xiaoxia could still be saved.

"Director Xia, I'm just a young actor with not much acting experience. How can you ask me such a professional question?"

"I can't give you a good explanation either."

As a person, you always have to be decent. Before you start showing off, you must give the other person enough face.

At the same time, you should flexibly use the skill of humility so that the other party will be impressed when you start to explain your point of view.

"Don't say that. It's just because you are an outsider that sometimes you don't get confused by the authorities. Besides, I heard that you also have experience in directing in other movies, so you know a little bit about it."

"Just think of it as helping me and finding inspiration for me."

In fact, in Director Xia's heart, the feeling was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. It was obviously there and it could come out with just a little force.

It's a pity that Director Xia just can't find the right place to exert force.

As for Wu Di, director Xia was so sincere in what he said. Originally, he was planning to make a good investment in San Yaner's movie, but others took the initiative to ask about it, so it was hard to keep hanging on.

"Director Xia, actually, if you ask me sincerely, I will certainly help." Wu Di coughed a few times and corrected his attitude.

"I think there is indeed a problem with this part of the current filming. I will try to explain the specific problem. I can't guarantee whether it is correct or not."

As long as you are willing to say it, it is enough, right?

Do you still care?

In fact, Director Xia also has his own selfish motives. Although generally speaking, he has absolute say in Lao Zhang's movies. Not only the crew, but also the investors have to listen to him.

Regarding the content of the movie, everything depends on his personal choice, and others basically have no influence on it.

But Wu Di is different!

He can intervene. Behind him is the main investor of Sanyaner's film. And he is an official member of the crew and plays a major role.

In fact, if investors have any opinions about the filming of the movie, they can be conveyed to the crew through Wu Di.

Director Xia's actions were all out of good intentions. He was reminding Wu Di, look, you have such good channels, why don't you know how to make full use of them?

Under Director Xia's urging, Wu Di finally pointed out a problem he had observed recently: "Director Xia, have you noticed that there is a difference in the accents between the two sets of leading actors?"

"accent?"

"It is indeed different. Sister Hong is from the northwest, while Xiao Jilin is of course from the northeast. People from these two sides always like to bring local characteristics when expressing comedy."

This shouldn't be a problem.

Both Xiao Jilin and Hong Jie are already famous actors. In their career, the characters they played have almost without exception used Mandarin with a slight dialect flavor.

The results were very good, and no one raised any questions. Director Xia still failed to understand Wu Di's tips.

"But what's the problem with this?"

"I think that as long as the dialect-type lines are pronounced clearly, the audience's acceptance is quite high, and the comedy effect is also quite sufficient."

The so-called dialect-flavored lines are actually a shortcut to express comedy effects, not just northwest or northeastern dialects, such as Shanghainese, Henan dialect, Shandong dialect, etc., as long as they are paired with a more comical dialect.

If you open your face, the comedy effect will be doubled!

yes!

Director Xia's idea is correct. Generally speaking, it makes sense and works.

But the problem is, the three words and two shots are a bit too much.

This is actually a big problem, but whether it is Lao Zhang or Xiao Xia, it may be because the original team members are all actors they are familiar with, and they are too familiar with their accents and performance methods.

As a result, they all became insiders and could not detect any abnormalities at all.

However, Wu Di is different.

Although he often saw them on the TV screen in his previous life, there was no real contact with them after all.

It was even the first time to actually observe their performance on the set.

Therefore, Wu Di caught the strangeness instantly.

"However, when the northwest accent and the northeastern accent are mixed together, it becomes very problematic. Although they are both funny, the two languages ​​​​are funny in different ways."

"Furthermore, the speaking speed and the output method of the language are also different. When they are spliced ​​together, of course there will be a strange feeling."

"I think that since we are a comedy film set in the loess land of the northwest, then overall, it should feature Sister Hong's accent. As for some actors with the northeastern dialect system, it is of course also inappropriate to ask them to speak the northwest dialect.

Unrealistic."

"They won't be able to learn it in a short period of time, so can we let them express their lines in Mandarin first?"

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I am not a professional and cannot be sure. Director Xia can consider it."

A mixture of dialects?

mandarin?

Suddenly, Director Xia had an epiphany!

right!

The problem lies here!

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, there must be more than one or two problems since the filming of San Yan Er. However, this point pointed out by Wu Di has indeed been ignored, at least, Director Xia himself has not noticed it at all.

There is indeed such a tendency in movies and TV dramas. If dialects are used, the best way is for everyone to use the same dialect.

Then, this type of movies or TV series can be directly called dialect movies and TV series.

This type of film and television drama also has its own audience. If it is well shot, it can also gain widespread support from the audience.

There is also a way to use a certain dialect as the main tone. The main actors can use this dialect to speak their lines. The remaining actors do not have this requirement and can use standard Mandarin at will.

In this way, both solemn and harmonious effects can be achieved.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, you are really amazing!"

"In the future, if I have any problems, I will come to you to discuss it!" Director Xia jumped up and patted Wu Di on the shoulder, with a happy face.

Wu Di was flattered: "You all come to me?"

"Isn't this appropriate, Director Xia?"

"Isn't there still Director Zhang?"

"Director Zhang is the one who controls the overall situation. I think it's better for me to interrupt less."

"That's what I said. I think you are more knowledgeable than Director Zhang. I will rely on you from now on. I am optimistic about you!" Director Xia patted Wu Di on the shoulder and laughed, completely unaware that the danger was gradually approaching.

Get closer...

"Who do you like?"

"Let me take a look too!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, exuding majesty and an air of unquestionability, and Director Xia's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Fixed.

"Director Zhang, whenever my role comes, I've already dressed up and am waiting to go on stage!"

At this time, except for Wu Di, there was no one else who dared to come out to smooth things over. Director Xia felt as if he had been caught red-handed, and his whole body languished.

And what about Lao Zhang?

It can only be said that Lao Jianghu is Lao Jianghu, but it is different at critical moments. Although Wu Di was chatting and laughing with Director Xia all the time, the two of them did not speak loudly and did not mention Lao Zhang.

However, Lao Zhang still smelled the scent keenly, and approached them calmly.

It caught them off guard.

At this time, it will be revealed who has the brighter brain and whose reaction is the fastest. Yes, it is our Xiao Wu.

In just a few words, he successfully attracted Lao Zhang's fire to his side.

bring it on!

In this crew, Wu Di, the big financier, is completely used to block guns.

Fortunately, he is not afraid of this and plans to act as a shield for everyone!

"Xiaoxia, come here for a moment."

Ruined.

Do you want to talk alone?

Looking at Director Xia leaving in embarrassment, Wu Di was speechless. Look, I've already stepped down for you, why don't you know how to give me some face?

There was nothing he could do, and that was all he could do.

Let’s try our luck with this shot first!

The filming process of "Sanyan Erpai" is destined to have twists and turns. Wu Di is already prepared for a long-term struggle with Lao Zhang.

And this struggle is bound to be mixed with many stages of mutual attacks. In the end, it is impossible to say who will win and who will lose.

Fortunately, Wu Di still has the movie Labyrinth in his hands. Otherwise, by the time Lao Zhang finishes filming this movie, every film festival in Shuicheng or Xidu will be overdue!

Where will Wu Xiaodi's award-winning masterpiece be produced?

What a wit!

Wu Di was rejoicing, but on the other hand, Director Xia's heart was in his throat. Ever since he and Lao Zhang came over, he has been sullen and has not said a word to Xiao Xia.

Obviously, this internationally renowned director is angry. Angry.

For Xiaoxia, this is not a good thing. He has to find a way to save the situation. After all, the filming of the movie has just started!

Comedy takes up a lot of space in this movie, and Xiaoxia's task is also quite heavy. It is precisely because there are many and heavy roles that Xiaoxia took on this movie.

Generally speaking, although Xiaoxia has no experience in filming movies before, being an assistant director is not a good choice for him, a well-known director who has already made a name for himself in the TV drama industry.

At least, he didn't take advantage.

However, the current situation is like this. Since I have joined this group, there is no need to say that I have to work hard to make the movie a success.

However, communicating with Lao Zhang still feels very stressful.

The key is that Xiao Xia and Lao Zhang were not familiar with each other at first, and the feeling of Lao Zhang's veins was not accurate enough. If they were touting them on weekdays, there would be no problem.

If you say something nice, whether you are familiar with it or not, the other party will be willing to listen.

However, giving opinions is a matter on another level.

"Director Zhang..."

"Actually, I didn't mean it just now, I was just making a joke." For now, this is the only explanation.

Lao Zhang sighed: "Okay, I know you didn't mean it."

"Come here first and solve this problem."

Solve the problem?

What problem can Xiaoxia solve?

Although it may not be a solution, it can still provide a comforting effect.

In the blink of an eye, the shooting location had moved indoors.

This scene can be regarded as the highlight of San Yan Er's movie. Speaking of highlights, one is that the performance is relatively difficult, and the other is that as a movie with a small number of people, this scene can be regarded as the highlight.

A rare group show.

There are many actors and many extras to perform with.

This also involves a problem of on-site scheduling, which requires that many extras with limited performance experience and few opportunities to show their faces are properly arranged.

Scheduling responsibilities are very important.

Therefore, this scene, in addition to the difficulty of performance, also added a difficulty of coordination.

As a director, not only must the performances of the leading actors be perfectly presented, but also the performance of the surrounding extras who serve as background panels.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so of course we have to shoot as soon as possible.

However, when Xiaoxia followed Lao Zhang into the infield, she discovered that the on-site filming had been suspended!

Brother Lightning was sitting on the floor with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, giving him a unique aura.

As for Xiao Jilin, he was standing with Sister Hong, muttering, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Come on, Xiao Xia, you are responsible for this part. Please explain it." Director Xia was still confused, but Lao Zhang pushed him in front of the actors.

This is... embarrassing.

explain?

What did he explain?

He doesn't know anything, what can he explain?
