I'm just an actor

Chapter 46
The new play that Xu Rong is going to film after leaving school is called "Crossing the Guandong". It is directed by the famous director Wang Wenjie. He is good at various styles of film and television dramas.

"Crossing the Guandong" tells the story of a family from Shandong who was forced to leave their hometown and enter the Guandong from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the outbreak of the September [-]th Incident.

The story takes Zhu Kaishan's complex and rough life played by Li Youbin as a clue, interspersed with Zhu Kaishan's three personalities and various trials and tribulations encountered by his sons with different fates on the Guandong Road.

After getting the script, Xu Rong only went through the script roughly once, and Xu Rong instinctively thought about the spiritual core of the whole play. It only took about a second, and he almost had a general idea of ​​the play in his mind.

Probably just one word, "Chuang", the spirit of Chuang who fights against the sky, the earth, and the people.

His role is Zhu Chuanwen, positioned as the second male, the first male Zhu Chuanwu was previously heard to be played by Ling Xiaosu, and the third male Zhu Chuanjie was played by Zhu Yawen.

In the play, Zhu Chuanwen is industrious, down-to-earth, shrewd and capable, and has the simplicity and honesty of a typical farmer, just like most Chinese farmers. At the same time, he is cowardly, vain, and narrow-minded, almost possessing the general characteristics of old-fashioned Chinese farmers.

Xu Rong is not too familiar with this role. Even if it were not an accident, he might also become someone like Zhu Chuanwen. of a lifetime.

As for Zhu Chuanwen's position as the male second, it was Li Youbin and Wang Wenjie who told him, but Xu Rong didn't dare to believe even half a word. He cooperated with Li Youbin in two plays, and now he has figured out something. Li Youbin is a "drama bully" ","cancer".

If you want to cooperate with him, if you want to shine, you must completely suppress him in terms of business level and drama volume, otherwise you will be eaten by him to death.

Liangjian's ratings are all over the board, but Li Youbin has been popular from the beginning to the end. The others, whether Zhang Weibei who plays Chu Yunfei or He Zhengjun who plays the political commissar, are just familiar.

But this is probably the reason why many directors and producers are willing to hire him. His strong role rendering ability and ability to support the show are also abilities that most actors do not have.

And it's not that Xu Rong hasn't read the book, and he probably understood after flipping through it, it doesn't matter whether the male lead or the second male, as long as he plays with Li Youbin, there is not much difference, just be a green leaf with peace of mind.

As for other things, Xu Rong also understands the Arabian Nights, even if his current comprehensive evaluation has improved again.

Acting training system

Lines: B
Limbs: B
Eyes: B
Rhythm: A
Comprehensive evaluation: B+
Experience Points: 2/100
Glory value: 6/100
Trait: Baji Grandmaster (unmounted)
During the filming of "Yangcheng Dark Whistle", the experience value of the system increased so-so, but no matter what, it has improved somewhat. After all, Wang Qingxiang's roles are not many, and other people's performances have little reference value for him.

When improving, he didn't hesitate at all, and still added to the rhythm first. Regarding the performance rhythm, there are few theoretical mentions, and there are no effective training methods, but the influence is overall, which is a bit similar to talent the meaning of.

The experience value can increase by nearly [-] points. Xu Rong guesses that there is another important reason. His theory has gradually taken the lead in practical experience. This situation will continue for a period of time as his theoretical knowledge continues to improve. Wait someday Theoretical knowledge and practical experience are equal, and the experience value may fall into a state of rapid growth.

But it's still early for that to happen.

For a comprehensive evaluation of B+, Xu Rong feels that it is not too much to use "cruel" evaluation among his peers, but it is purely a dream to surpass Li Youbin's A+. His idea of ​​participating in "Crossing the Guandong" is also quite simple, that is Improving his professional ability, he still vividly remembers the exhilaration of holding Li Youbin's thigh and flying.

Another reason for taking the role of Zhu Chuanwen is that he doesn't want to play a simple positive character like Luo Peilun.

Due to the trend of the general environment, the character of positive characters has almost become facial makeup, honest, passionate or a little more reckless, especially if the age of the characters is under 30 years old, they are probably the same. Even if the acting is not good, it will not be too big. Flawless, as long as you have a good face, you can basically pass the test.

Xu Rong wanted to act in a more complicated role, to challenge herself and broaden the scope of the play at the same time.

Among Zhu Kaishan's several sons, whether it is Zhu Chuanwu, Zhu Chuanjie or adopted son Ichiro, none of them fit his vision. The characters and personalities are too single, similar to the Wei monk he played at the beginning. Row.

When Li Youbin took him to the audition, Wang Wenjie also agreed with this, and even fooled him to make him make up his mind to sign the contract, telling him that Zhu Chuanwen is the core character of this drama, the soul and plot of the drama the promoters.

He believed it naively at the time, and was very grateful to the old team leader until he got the script.

Sitting on the train, Xu Rong found that he had a deep relationship with the vast land of Northeast China. It was here that he started to become an actor. Later, he filmed "Stepfather" here, and there was a little girl born in Northeast China beside him. , just don't know what will happen in the future.

On the way, before reaching the set, bad news came one after another.

Ling Xiaosu, who was originally scheduled to be the male number one, did not sign the contract, and Zhu Yawen took the top role to play the "male number one" Zhu Chuanwu. This was an early decision, but he knew the news a little later.

But half an hour later, Li Youbin called and told him that the director Wang Wenjie quit the film crew "due to illness".

Xu Rong pinched the phone, and was taken aback for a while, what the hell was he doing?It hasn't turned on yet? So, the director and the male lead were killed just like that?
However, when he thought of the investor, he immediately felt relieved. The joint investment of the two major local TV stations would not be unacceptable to him, even if half of the shooting was changed to the main creator.

Such a capital has money and a complicated network of relationships, and no one can imagine any fancy operations.

Probably because it was a big production, the opening press conference was quite grand. The secretary of this place and the standing committee member of that place gave speeches one by one. It didn't look like filming, but like a meeting.

The reporter's questions below were also very sensible, and they all revolved around the play in an orderly manner, and none of them were picky.

Speaking of which, this is the largest production that Xu Rong has participated in since his career. The initial budget alone is 4200 million. Considering that there will be additional additions in the middle, it is estimated to be around 4500 million after filming. Not to mention TV dramas, most of the movies currently have no So much for an investment.

It's not because of the actor's salary. Li Youbin revealed to him in private that 12 episodes, probably because of the newcomers, are not high in the front line. The other main creators in the group are either outdated old actors, or It's almost a free gift for a newcomer.

After reuniting with the crew, Xu Rong had to lament the producer's connections. A total of nine national first-class actors were brought in as guest stars. Although they would definitely be paid, because of the small number of roles, it was almost a drop in the bucket.

Xu Rong didn't use the system to check the evaluations of these first-level actors. First-level and second-level actors are all false names. It is impossible to say that there is no moisture. .

People are popular, and their spirits are different.

In the past, although Li Youbin has acted in many plays and won many awards, but due to the subject matter, his influence is not too great in essence. Except for those in the industry, not many audiences know his name.

But now it is different. At the press conference, Li Youbin sat among the leaders, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, let Xu Rong watch, he really has the air of a big shot.

The biggest change is that people speak much slower than in the past.

"Head, are you an official now?"

After the press conference, Xu Rong listened to Li Youbin speaking slowly, and felt quite uncomfortable, as if listening to the news broadcast.

Li Youbin glared at him with a smile, and said, "You don't understand. From the end of the New Year to now, I've been tortured by the media to the point of being insane. Speak slowly and pass it through your head, at least you won't say anything wrong."

Xu Rong nodded with a vague understanding. This is Li Youbin's experience. Although he hasn't experienced it personally, he will try to change it slowly. When he has a deep understanding, he may have already exposed the scorpion.

After seeing off all the leaders, Li Youbin looked at Xu Rong carefully again, and said, "You have changed a lot, you feel a lot more confident."

"Have it?"

Xu Rong frowned involuntarily, and asked back with a smile.

He didn't realize his own changes, but he had a vague subconscious feeling that his abilities had gradually surpassed the material foundation he possessed. Even if he was as poor and empty as before, he was confident that he would spend two to three years from now on. Nothing has ever been better than it is now.

This kind of change is not only the improvement of the pure business ability, but also the subtle and comprehensive influence brought about by the enrichment of vision, experience and sophistication.

Before the opening ceremony, Xu Rong also got to know a group of main creators. The chief director is concurrently held by the producer Zhang Xinjian, who is responsible for coordinating the overall situation. At the same time, the production crew is planned to be divided into two filming groups. The executive director of group A is Wang Bin with a mustache. In charge, Group B is directed by Kong Sheng, who is short and big-headed.

Group A mainly filmed the scenes of Zhu Kaishan played by Li Youbin, and Group B played Zhu Chuanwu played by Zhu Yawen and Xianer played by Song Jia. As for Xu Rong and other actors, which group should go to which.

The role of Zhu Chuanjie vacated by Zhu Yawen was filled by his classmate Qi Kui.

However, just like Xu Rong was filming "Stepfather" at the time, Zhu Chuanjie was played by another young actor when he was a teenager. The only consolation is that "Crossing the Guandong" has enough episodes, so Qi Kui will not worry about the amount of drama.

Zhu Yawen and Qi Kui were said to be his senior brothers from Nortel, but when the three of them stood together, Zhu Yawen looked the youngest, because this guy turned out to be the whitest.

Xu Rong used to do farm work under the sun all the year round, and his skin color was darker. Qi Kui was not only dark, but also very anxious. On the contrary, he was the least like the third child among the three. However, these problems can be made up through makeup.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Rong didn't chat with Li Youbin anymore, because Zhu Chuanwen didn't like chatting with Zhu Kaishan very much.

In Zhu Kaishan's heart, his favorite is Zhu Chuanwu, the second son who resembles him the most.

Xu Rong was not idle either, first chatted with his "mother" Sarina for a while, then chatted with his two "brothers" Zhu Yawen and Qi Kui about Dashan for a while, and then talked with his "wife" Niu Li baby talk.

The address also changed from "teacher" to "mother", "second child", "third child" and "wen'er".

Yixi cultivated a tacit understanding as soon as possible.

When he yelled, only Sarina answered with a smile, and Zhu Yawen, Qi Kui, and Niu Li were stunned for a moment before they realized it.

Xu Rong's state of mind at this time is completely different from the previous filming of "Yangcheng Dark Whistle". At that time, he was under tremendous pressure both on and off the scene, and he hardly laughed a few times.

Now there is no need for it. I have done everything that should be done. Now I just have to wait for the result, and my mentality is much more peaceful.

A little unscrupulous let go of the feeling of playing.

At the same time that Xu Rong gradually entered the role of Zhu Chuanwen, the crew officially started.

The first scene is naturally the important "supporting actor" Li Youbin and the "male number one" Zhu Yawen. Because Zhu Chuanwu was naughty, he made Zhu Chuanjie pee his pants and was beaten up by Zhu Kaishan.

The two chased each other while the other ran. Halfway through the filming, the thin and tall director and producer Zhang Xinjian suddenly stopped and said, "This scene has been withdrawn, next one."

Xu Rong was chatting with Sarina about the abnormal weather. Seeing this scene, he guessed that it should be the sequelae of changing directors. He could understand that Wang Bin, Kong Sheng, and Hou Hongliang were all executives. Is the decision maker of the entire crew.

"Brother Ming is a little dangerous."

After making adjustments and restarting the filming, Xu Rong just took a look and couldn't help worrying about his brother Huang Xiaoming.
