Now that Sun Li is here, Xiao Qian doesn't waste any time and gives her instructions first.
"The role of Feng Nan, as a female student who is not deeply involved in the world, has just experienced the transformation from the old society to the new society, and is also influenced by Western ideas. So when you play, you must pay attention to showing her kind of foreignness.
A sense of longing for clarity.”
In the original work, all the previous characters were well played, but there were big problems with the characters such as Tian Yu, Feng Nan, and Tian Yu's father at the end.
The content expressed by these characters obviously has a strong tendency to reflect, which is completely inconsistent with the situation when everything was competing for innovation when New China was just founded.
The reason why this is the case has a lot to do with the life experiences of the original author and producer of the show.
Including those who had the right to speak in the entertainment industry during this period, they basically grew up in a special era. Therefore, their artistic lives are basically filled with themes such as scar literature and reflection.
The China they represent is basically shabby, dark, and depressing.
It was not until after 2010, when a new generation of literary and artistic workers grew up and gradually took control of the entertainment industry, that the color of Chinese literary and artistic works finally gradually became brighter.
While I was narrating a play for Sun Li, Tong Lei, who plays Tian Yu, also came.
"That's right, you should listen to it too."
Xiao Qian explained the key points again, and Tong Lei suddenly understood.
"Let me tell you, why is such a passionate play so depressing when it comes to me? Now I know how to act."
Xiao Qian reminded her emphatically.
"Although Tian Yu and Feng Nan are classmates, they are slightly different. Feng Nan is just an innocent and simple student, but Tian Yu comes from an intellectual family. Her father is also a person of high status in the old society. After experiencing
When times change, this father's thoughts and opinions will inevitably affect Tian Yu. This is also the reason for the conflict between her and Li Yunlong. It is far from a simple cultural and experience incompatibility."
Tong Lei rubbed her forehead, her face full of confusion.
"This play is quite difficult."
She originally thought that her role would not come out until later parts, so it was not important. But with Xiao Qian's detailed instructions and guidance, it was obvious that she could not fail in the performance.
Within the allotted time, all the main actors arrived.
After introducing each other, they were all old people in the circle. Even if they had never met, they had heard of each other. And seeing such a cast, everyone felt very at ease.
They are all experienced and proven actors, and the drama produced by such a lineup cannot be too overwhelming.
Among these people, only one person was the most nervous.
That is the actor who plays Yang Xiuqin, Liang Linlin.
Although she graduated from Chinese Opera, she was in a college class, so she was different from ordinary Chinese Opera people. Moreover, after graduating in 2000, she had no achievements for five years.
In addition, her appearance was not very good, and she was not good at business. She thought that her acting career would pass by insipidly.
When she got the invitation from Xingguang, she suspected that she had met a liar.
Starlight's play is still a tribute work, and it was directed by Xiao Qian himself. What kind of actor can't be found?
There are so many actors who are more famous than her, bigger than her, more popular with the audience than her, and more attractive than her, but they can't get them. Why are you looking for her?
After verifying it several times in succession, it was proved that the matter was true. Liang Linlin was so happy that she almost went crazy.
She told her parents the news, and they both cried on the phone. They just told her to perform well and not to hold back.
I came to the set today to report, and at a glance, good guys, almost all of the people here are famous actors.
Especially Li Yushuang and Zhang Guangbei are her idols.
Liang Linlin's heart beat wildly at the thought of playing Li Yushuang's wife in the play, opposite this senior.
With her strength, can she keep up with Li Yushuang's pace?
While she was thinking wildly, Xiao Qian found her.
"Ms. Liang, can you speak Shanxi dialect?"
Liang Linlin was immediately stunned.
Although she knew that Xiao Qian would talk to her, she was mentally prepared. But she didn't expect that Xiao Qian's first question would be this.
You said I am a Northeastern person, should I be able to speak Shanxi dialect?
Of course not.
Fortunately, she was not in a hurry to show off, and said honestly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I don't understand Shanxi dialect very well."
Xiao Qian was not surprised, but ordered: "Next, you will have a preparation period of three to five months. During this period, can you master the Shanxi dialect required in the script?"
Liang Linlin suddenly realized.
Yang Xiuqin is a local rural woman in Shanxi. She is fierce, brave and forthright. The language she speaks is of course Shanxi dialect.
Only in this way can it match the character's image and temperament.
After understanding this, she was very determined.
"Yes, I will ask the teacher when I get back."
Xiao Qian nodded without any doubt.
Yang Xiuqin's Shanxi dialect in the previous life drama was more decent. As long as Liang Linlin can achieve that level, she is definitely qualified.
Liang Linlin just had to learn Shanxi dialect, which was the most difficult thing for the Japanese officers who played the roles in the play.
Because they need to learn Japanese and become fluent in it.
Compared with ordinary anti-Japanese dramas, the biggest breakthrough of the original version of "Bright Sword" is that the Japanese actors all speak Japanese, unlike those who fooled around and pretended to be "Baga" and "Die La Di La Di".
.
Poor actors and actresses are no longer young. When I heard that they wanted to learn Japanese, I really cried.
But no one raised any objection.
None of these actors are famous or have much status. They are older and very dedicated. They know that although Xiao Qian's instructions are too strict, they are normal.
You don’t have to act, but since you choose to act, you must act well.
Starlight's play is something you can only meet but cannot seek!
What Xiao Qian cares most about are the leading actors.
"Uncle Li, the character Li Yunlong, comes from a country bumpkin background and has little education. All his combat skills are gained through years of war. Therefore, when performing this role, we must focus on highlighting his natural sensitivity."
Li Yunlong in his previous life was very successful with almost no shortcomings, so Xiao Qian didn't say much.
He has already read Li Yushuang's notes, and he can only say that capable people have a stronger temper because they have the qualifications.
Li Yushuang even drew a sketch in his notes, and made repeated corrections to every action, expression, and use of language.
Looking at his notes, you can even conjure up a vivid image in your mind.
After Li Yunlong, there was political commissar Zhao Gang.
This character is very charming. With a calm, wise and elegant image, he interprets the style of our military political commissar.
However, Xiao Qian still had some instructions for He Zhengjun.
"Mr. He, you play Zhao Gang, a political commissar who is a college student with rich knowledge and yearning for revolution. He went to the holy land of revolution at a young age, received re-education and was sent to the New Regiment to serve as a political commissar for Li Yunlong.
So when you act, you must show the simplicity and youthfulness of Zhao Gang when he first joined the frontline team."
He Zhengjun felt that Xiao Qian was doing something unnecessary.
"I am very young to begin with."
He is only in his early forties, which is when a man is in the prime of life and feels that he is young for granted.
Just looking at his weathered face, the scene immediately started laughing like crazy.
Don't tell me that you are forty years old, even if you are only twenty years old, you still look the same.
Facing the roar of laughter, He Zhengjun felt extremely aggrieved. At this moment, his protest alone was so powerless.
Xiao Qian didn't mention how to play a political commissar well.
He Zhengjun comes from a military family, and his father fought in the 129th Division. How to play a political commissar well, he has more experience than Xiao Qian.
Once we get to Zhang Guangbei, there is no difficulty.
"Teacher Zhang, actually Chu Yunfei and Zuo Lengchan feel similar. It's just that Chu Yunfei is not so vicious, and has more of an ancient heroic demeanor. He was born in the fifth phase of Huangpu, a typical military top student, and was in the Jinsui Army.
He is also the absolute main force, and his record is also very good, so he has a certain degree of arrogance. But after all, Chu Yunfei represents a reactionary, so when you are acting, you must also pay attention to the color of the character."
The original version of "Bright Sword" was good in everything, except that Chu Yunfei was played more like the protagonist, very upright.
Compared with him, Li Yunlong is more like a bad guy.
Xiao Qian would never allow this kind of mistake and said it directly upfront.
Zhang Guangbei had a clear mind and immediately understood what Xiao Qian meant. He nodded silently and remembered it in his heart.
If the instructions given to the actors reflected Xiao Qian's attentiveness, then in the following discussion, everyone discovered how insanely serious Xiao Qian was.
