The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 479 The Showman

Although “Jian Yu Jiang Hu” is based on Zhang Yimou, the specifics are still different from the works directed by him.

This drama is all about making money and promoting people to several companies.

Therefore, except for the heroine Yang Ziqiong, who is used to prop up the appearance and increase popularity, the others are all the own people of each production company.

Among them, Yu Bo will star as Jiang Asheng, Shu Chang will star as Xiao Yu, Wang Xueqi will star as Wheel King, Fan Bingbing will star as Ye Chanqing, Yu Wenle will star as Lei Bin, Zhang Jin will star as the dramatist, Yang Junyi will star as Lu Zhu, and Yang Guang will star as Tian Qingtong.

Everyone has a role, but not all of them are the characters everyone originally thought.

After Chen Shuo looked around, he asked, “It seems that Zhang Renfeng hasn’t decided yet?”

“Yes, Director Zhang didn’t find a suitable candidate.” Cheng Xiaodong said: “But this is not a delay, after all, Zhang Renfeng does not have too many scenes.”

Chen Shuo nodded and said, “Yes.”

Zhang Renfeng is Jiang Asheng’s predecessor, and does not need to have as many scenes as Xiao Yu. It focuses more on Jiang Asheng’s life of revenge.

This drama already has many characters, but the main story still revolves around Zeng Jing.

If others talk too much in detail, they either don’t have enough time or they don’t want to go into too much detail.

Cheng Xiaodong clapped his hands and said, “Come on, let’s continue. Let’s get started.”

After selecting the actors, Zhang Yimou and others are preparing the scene and shooting plan.

After they are ready, the filming will officially begin.

Chen Shuo and others nodded, “Come on.”

Those present, including Yang Junyi, Zhang Jin, Yu Bo and others, are all professional action actors. Especially Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin are martial arts level players who are proficient in various routines.

Cooperating with Cheng Xiaodong and others, they have begun to design their own movements.

The dramatist is a character specially prepared by Chen Shuo. All kinds of fantastic movements have been rehearsed in detail in his mind.

I had told Zhang Jin before, so the two discussed it in detail this time.

“Shuoshuo, I think the movements of the opera artist should be more about light and agile changes.” Zhang Jin said while holding the knife in both hands and turning it quickly.

“This kind of action, coupled with the cooperation of Wia, should make the action more ghostly.”

Chen Shuo looked at it and said, “Brother Jin, it’s true that you can change quickly and easily, but if you look at jugglers, what are their main features?

Being quick-sighted and quick-handed is basic, but the most important thing is illusion and fakeness.

Three immortals return to the hole with one hand, the ball can be where you want it, some can be lost, and some can be lost. This should be the true skill of the juggler. “

As he spoke, he danced the two knives in his hands. The movements were not large, but every time he took action, his left hand attracted attention, and then his right hand moved quietly.

Or the right hand is bluffing, and the left hand follows up, making people think that they have been seen through, but then the bluff suddenly turns into reality.

After a few moves, the double swords became unpredictable, making people wonder which of his moves was false and which was real.

Zhang Jin looked thoughtful and began to imitate Chen Shuo’s movements with the two swords in his hands.

Chen Shuo had told him before, but most of them were described over the phone, which was not as intuitive as seeing him face to face.

He is also proficient in routine movements. Although he is only a rough imitation, he can easily achieve three points of charm.

Combine some moves that vary between virtual and real, and change the virtual and real according to your needs.

“Yes, that’s what it feels like.” Seeing that he had understood what he meant, Chen Shuo put away the knife and said, “Colorful opera is an ancient folk art. Most of the magicians wear robes, which makes it easier to hide some props. body.

Artists pay attention to the “eight-character mantra”, which is called binding, binding, hiding, tucking, tearing, carrying, picking and untying.

Use tying up, tying up, burying, and tucking for preparation work in the background; tearing, carrying, picking off, and untying for front and back work.

The fighting style of Cai Xishi is based on this.

Not only the double swords, but also the performer should be able to use various performance props as a means of combat.

Do not fight unprepared battles, just as a juggler does not perform unprepared performances.

Some small tricks should also be his usual fighting moves, such as the immortal planting beans, the three immortals returning to the cave, empty boxes turning objects, wooden sticks standing on their own, etc.

These common little tricks may not be magical in reality, but this is a movie after all, a fictional martial arts story.

We can extend these tricks and combine them with internal strength to create some magic-like effects.

Things like swallowing swords, spitting fire, and transforming into living beings are even more fun. “

Originally, it was just Chen Shuo and Zhang Jin who were communicating. After Cheng Xiaodong walked around in the field, he couldn’t help but interrupt when he heard Chen Shuo’s theory: “Then if you act like this, how can anyone else beat him?

A person who can transform into a living person can do the same thing as teleporting. It’s only for him to hit others, how can there be time for others to hit him? “

Chen Shuo laughed and said: “Isn’t this the setting I used to write the script when I used the dramatist as the protagonist? Of course it’s because of how good it is.

In the old days, entertainers were also performers in the arena, and they inevitably had conflicts and fights with people.

But there are specialties in the art industry. After all, they are more about performing than fighting with others. How can there really be such a powerful person?

In addition to those who work alone, as long as they form a troupe, they will have people who specialize in performing and caring for the hospital.

The juggler does jugglery honestly, and the nurse practitioner just practices martial arts honestly.

I want to do magic tricks and practice martial arts, but in the end I can’t rely on either. “

“That’s true.” Cheng Xiaodong nodded and said to Zhang Jin: “Your character still has some flaws. It’s just right to not be good at tricks or kung fu.

But as Chen Shuo said, having more fun is also good for the character You and can leave a deeper impression on people. “

Zhang Jin nodded and said, “Now that I know Director Cheng, I will prepare for this.”

Cheng Xiaodong nodded. He was very satisfied with this job. For people like Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, let alone step-by-step instructions, they didn’t even need to talk too much. As long as they were given an idea, they could do it themselves. very good.

There is no need to limit the movements. Maybe you can have a flash of inspiration and make some wonderful moves while shooting.

Chen Shuo, who was on the side, suddenly had some ideas during the discussion just now, and said to the two of them: “Director Cheng, Brother Jin, you are busy first, I have some ideas that need to be sorted out.”

As he spoke, he walked to the rest area on the side, found his bag, took a notebook and started writing and drawing.

The conversation just now gave him some inspiration. Regarding this script, when it was written that the actor betrayed the Wheel King and was killed, in order to show the Wheel King’s ruthlessness, he directly used force to overcome skill and let him use his overwhelming strength. Strength kills the colorist.

But now, he felt that he could change it, so that the King of Chakravartin would not need to be so powerful. The reason why Cai Jianshi lost was because after all, he mainly focused on magic and failed to fully integrate magic and martial arts into one.

You cannot be like Mr. Mo Da, who combines magic and Hengshan School swordsmanship to create the dream-like and ever-changing Thirteen Hengshan Cloud and Mist Styles.

He should lose by having both but not being good at either.

The wheel-turning king had already seen through the flaw, and then used words to disturb his mind, and only with the help of Lei Bin did he kill him.

“If you want to practice juggling, then do juggling, and if you want to practice martial arts, practice martial arts. You always like to mix them up. It’s a miracle that you can survive to this day.”

Chen Shuo wrote this sentence in his notebook and marked the words “disturbing the mind” on the side.

And drew some line drawings of the shots.

At any rate, he had been an action director once, and even as an assistant, he had learned some director skills.

Basic skills such as drawing split shots are of course not a problem.

He was rewriting the script for the part where the King of Chakravartin fights against the Magician.

Fan Bingbing, who was practicing his sword, also came to the rest area to drink water. He wiped his sweat and went to him to look at the book in his hand and said: “I heard before that you wrote this script. I still don’t believe it. Now. At first glance, he is really versatile.”

Chen Shuo turned around and saw that she was standing next to him. The distance between them was less than ten centimeters. He couldn’t help but move to one side and said with a smile: “I said it was written by me, but in fact it was just an idea. Everything else is It was written by the teachers in our screenwriting department.

Why doesn’t Sister Bingbing stop practicing? “

Fan Bingbing wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, and said with a smile and annoyance: “Can’t you take a break when you are tired from training?”

“Of course.” Chen Shuo turned around, distanced himself and faced her.

Fan Bingbing didn’t take it seriously and asked with a smile: “Hey, did you also design the character Ye Chanqing?”

Chen Shuo nodded and said: “Yes, the first version of the script at that time was not this, but a story based on what happened to people from all walks of life.

The juggler is a conjurer. The character Ye Chanqing, whose real name is A Qing, is a prostitute, or a killer who uses the identity of a prostitute as a cover.

It was later changed to the character he is now. “

“I asked, why does this character have that feeling? The root of emotion is here.” Fan Bingbing nodded as if in a daze and asked: “Then, do you think I am suitable for such a character?”

Chen Shuo nodded and said: “Director Zhang personally selected her. He must have felt that Sister Bingbing is qualified for such a role. I also feel that with your acting skills, there will be no problem.”

Fan Bingbing’s eyes turned and he said: “But I feel that there are some things that I don’t quite understand. I wonder if I can ask you for advice?

For example, what should she have been thinking when she took off her clothes and lay on Jiang Asheng’s bed?

What was her mental activity like when Jiang Asheng ran into the yard and yelled while holding her clothes? “

Chen Shuo looked up at her, shook his head and said, “I didn’t write this part. If Sister Bingbing wants to know more, she can go to screenwriter Zhou Qingzhou. This is the part she is responsible for.”

Before she could speak again, Chen Shuo looked at the field, stood up and said, “Okay, Sister Bingbing, please rest. I’ll go check on the training of others.”

After that, he stood up and left.
