The set of "Choose a Concubine" was set on Riverside During the Qingming Festival. I had heard that the famous Jinan courtesan Yang Jiuhong played the role of the queen. He Xin wanted to see Mr. Yang... Bah! Mr. He's style, but he listened to his girlfriend.
The assistant said that Mr. He had finished the previous stage of filming and returned to Hangzhou, but Liu Xiaofeng, the leading actor who plays the prince, was there.
It was a pity not to be able to catch a glimpse of Teacher He. As for Liu Xiaofeng, he had an impression that he would be active in various anti-Japanese dramas for a long time.
He Xin is a bit face-blind. In his previous life, he often confused Liu Xiaofeng with the Hong Kong actor who played Chen Sanyuan's husband in "Sister Tuoqiang". She always thought he was a Hong Konger and always felt that a Hong Konger often appeared in anti-Japanese dramas.
Seems a bit weird.
It wasn't until I watched a video of Li Bingbing's classmate's reunion on the Internet that I realized that this guy was also from Northeastern China. He graduated from theater and was a classmate of Li Bingbing.
Back at the hotel, I quickly turned on the air conditioner, blew on my damp down jacket, and then took a quick hot shower to wash away the coldness.
I changed into a long-sleeved T-shirt and sweatpants, lay on the bed and rested for a while. I also had time to study why the north uses heating, while the south is accustomed to using air conditioning. Except for the heating dividing line along the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, air conditioning is too cold.
In addition to not being able to start normally, it may also be because it is too humid in the south.
Cheng Hao's room was on a higher floor. Standing in front of the window, he could see the gray mountains and the majestic Qin Palace in the distance. Looking down, he could see the wet streets and hurried pedestrians.
There is a kind of mood that northerners may not be able to understand. If you are from the Jiangnan area, in winter, when you are wearing cool clothes, standing in a warm spring room, looking at the miserable wind and rain outside, you will often feel a sense of happiness.
Born spontaneously.
He Xin stood in front of the window and felt happy for a while. After seeing that it was still early, he sat down at the table, took out his notebook from his bag, and read again the biography he had written about Liu Huaqiang.
The so-called character biography, as Hao Rong said in class, should be explored from both the inner and outer aspects of the character.
There are two internal aspects. The first is the character, which is the character's world view, outlook on life, values, and attitude towards life; the other is the character's experience and memory, such as the character's goal, weakness and motivation.
The external composition, first, is the appearance of the character, such as appearance; second, the relationship between the characters, with the character as the center, and all aspects of the relationship network connected with it; third, the life of the character, generally three types
Life, personal life, such as interests, hobbies and talents, etc., followed by life among relatives and friends, and then professional life, which is what the character does.
He Xin's previous biographies focused on exploring the brotherhood and growth experiences of Liu Huaqiang and Liu Huawen. For example, Liu Huaqiang's parents died early, and the child without a father and mother was originally discriminated against and bullied. He wanted to be in the cracks.
To survive is to be more ruthless than others and dare to kill someone, so that others will be afraid and dare not bully you.
The two brothers have been dependent on each other since childhood and have a deep relationship, so after learning that Liu Huawen was killed, Liu Huaqiang decided to take revenge at all costs.
He also described many details, such as Liu Huaqiang's love experience with his ex-wife Wang Sujuan, how he doted on his daughter Liu Lei, his entanglement with Li Li, and his relationship with Li Mei, etc.
Now whenever he has free time, he will take out the script and read it, and when he has new insights, he will jot down something in his notebook.
You must read the script carefully, it is exactly the same as reading comprehension. You read it once or twice, and even memorize the dialogue, but if you don't pay attention, you will only understand the literal meaning.
Intensive reading is to understand what is behind the text, which is often very mysterious. Just like asking a writer to take a test on reading comprehension of the articles he writes, he may not necessarily pass the test.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
While discussing martial arts novels with his girlfriend, he suddenly discovered that the script "Conquest" had many similarities with martial arts novels.
The core of martial arts novels is usually the love and hatred between family and country, and the most prominent one is the word "vengeance". The protagonist often suffers from a blood feud, and then fights for revenge in the world.
From the literal meaning, it seems that the protagonist is just seeking revenge, but in fact you will find that as the protagonist takes revenge, he will definitely become famous in the world, then command the heroes, and finally win the beauty back.
In order to take revenge, you must first gain fame, then power, and then profit. It can be seen that revenge is not an end but a means, and the ultimate goal is fame and fortune.
Looking back at the script of "Conquer", maybe the original intention of the screenwriter was Liu Huaqiang, and Liu Huawen had a deep brotherly love, so after Liu Huawen was cut off, Liu Huaqiang would take crazy revenge.
But is Liu Huaqiang’s purpose really to avenge his brother?
Brother Qiang is a big boss on the road, and he has always been known for his bravery and ruthlessness. If his younger brother is chopped off and he doesn't even fart, then his brand will be ruined. If his brand is smashed, his younger brothers will definitely fall apart; without his younger brother,
, he, a big boss, can’t do it.
Therefore, it is certain to take revenge for the sake of brothers, but revenge is only a means. The purpose is to declare his illustrious reputation on the road and ensure that his status as the boss will still bring him a steady stream of benefits in the future.
For a time, he was full of literary thoughts and wrote a long article eloquently.
"Tsk-tick!"
As soon as He Xin looked up, he saw Cheng Hao walking in with the key card.
She changed her costume, took off her wig, and simply put a ponytail on her face.
"The filming is over...oh, it's getting dark."
Only then did he realize that it was already dark outside the window.
"What are you writing? So serious."
"Write a biography of a character."
"Director Lou's new movie?"
"No, it's the one from "Conquer"."
Cheng Hao came over and first saw "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" on the table.
"You bought it back!"
"They are not available in bookstores. They are pirated goods bought from street stalls. Just make do with them for now."
"So many!"
Cheng Hao picked it up and turned it over.
He Xin smiled and said: "It's very exciting. Not only the martial arts, but the romance is also very well written!"
"I've never read this before... Hey, let me take a look at the character biography you wrote."
Obviously the girl is more curious about the biography written by her boyfriend.
"I just wrote randomly, I haven't sorted it out yet." He Xin handed over the notebook and said.
Cheng Hao took it over and opened it to take a look.
Liu Huaqiang, male, age: around 35-40 years old, identity: eldest brother on the road, personality: calm, cunning, cruel...
"Wow, the character you played is so old!"
"He both has a ten-year-old daughter, who should be about the same age."
As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Fortunately, I'm relatively mature, otherwise Lao Gao wouldn't necessarily want me."
Cheng Hao turned over the pages, looked up at him carefully, and said with a smile: "You play the role of the eldest brother. I look over and over, but I don't think you look like it at all!"
"So I have to prepare in advance and experience life, otherwise I would be really unsure."
He was not worried that he would not be able to play the role well. The main reason was that King Yan's version of Brother Qiang was too popular among the people. He was only worried that if his performance was worse than King Yan, it would be boring.
"Wow! You actually wrote so much!"
Cheng Hao discovered that all the following were biographies about Liu Huaqiang, a full half book.
"I miss a lot of classes, so I just treat it as homework!" He Xin said with a smile.
"Compared with you, I find that I am extremely weak!"
The girl couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and said: "I didn't even prepare properly for the filming of "Choose a Concubine" this time, let alone write a biography of the character."
"It's okay. The two characters you played are very simple. You just treat them as filming two movies at the same time."
"Filming two movies at the same time? You said it's easy, this is very difficult!"
is it hard?
He Xin estimated that his girlfriend's acting style was probably the same as his own, otherwise she would not have complained.
