I'm just an actor

Chapter 70 Opinions
"Harbin Under the Night" is Xu Rong's first "idol drama", and it is very likely to be his last one.

The reason why there is no conclusion is that it mainly depends on how the film is paid. If he is given a 12 episode like Li Youbin, then he really has to read the book before talking.

After all, when I get older and lose my looks, I can brag about it. I was also the number one male idol in back then.

In addition, Xu Rong also became a little vigilant, and he could no longer accept spy war dramas in the future.

No matter what he thinks, "Harbin Under the Night" is still essentially a spy war.

He became famous in the spy war drama "Yangcheng Dark Whistle", and now he is filming "Harbin Under the Night". After a long time, he will give the audience and industry directors and producers the impression that he can only act in spy wars.

Even if the spy war is the general trend in recent years.

He couldn't put himself in Li Youbin's predicament.

This is Li Youbin's distress right now, his father, the police, and the books of war movies are stuffed into him like crazy, and he can't make a transformation even if he wants to.

Because other types of good books will not come to him.

Not only Li Youbin, but also the helplessness of all actors. Once they star in a certain type of drama and become popular, they will fall into the quagmire of this type of drama again and again, and they can't crawl out.

But it's not all bad, there is something to be gratified about, that is the arrival of another main creator in the group. Although the other party's fame has been controversial, but only in terms of professional ability, the level is still there. of.

Zhou Jie.

Since "Returning the Pearl" became popular, he has never been short of negative news, and there are all kinds of it.

When chatting with friends, Xu Rong also heard about it.

But after a scene, his impression of Zhou Jie changed a bit. Regardless of the reputation, his basic skills are quite solid.

Except when playing against each other, Zhou Jie's acting style made him extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Jie's way of acting was too ostentatious, as if he was afraid that the camera would not capture it, and his emotions and body language were obviously magnified.

He can roughly guess the reason, a theater actor.

Because the performance of drama is not captured by the camera, but directly presented to the audience in the theater. When performing on the stage, there is a certain distance from the audience, so the subtle movements and expressions must be magnified.

This is the most prominent feature of a drama actor. Some old drama actors can distinguish the difference between film and television and drama, but Zhou Jie obviously does not. There are too many traces of drama performance in his performance.

However, the experience of drama performance also has unique advantages, and the emotions come quickly, which is hard for film and television actors to match.

Xu Rong originally thought that the filming would go smoothly, but soon, he understood why Zhou Jie's evaluation in the industry was extremely poor.

I don't know if it's because of his high popularity, or because he is extremely confident in his professional ability, whoever is not good at acting, the corner of his mouth is slightly slanted, and he does not hide his disdainful attitude at all.

Xu Rong understood what he meant very well. When "New Shanghai Bund" was filmed, he had shown similar expressions to Huang Xiaoming and Sha Yi.

But it also made Gao Xixi unhappy. Since then, regardless of other people's professional ability, he only knew it from his heart, and never showed it.

"It's not right for you to act like this. You love me, but I don't see any emotion in your eyes. You have to sink into the character, feel the character's emotion, and then express this emotion with your eyes." A play After filming, Zhou Jie bluntly pointed out Li Xiaoran's shortcomings.

This is his first day in the group.

Li Xiaoran's face turned dark immediately.

She is an actress, and acting is her job and the basis of her survival. Even though she knows that her professional ability is mediocre, it is too embarrassing to be pointed out and denied so bluntly.

And in front of so many people.

Xu Rong felt awkward standing on the sidelines. He didn't know Zhou Jie well, and he didn't have much friendship with Li Xiaoran, so it was hard to make peace at this time.

Although he also felt that what Zhou Jie said was quite reasonable.

But is it really appropriate for you to be so direct?

But before Li Xiaoran could react, Zhou Jie turned his head and walked towards Zhao Baogang, saying, "Director, I don't think this is right. Li Xiaoran is the female lead. Besides Xu Rong, she has the most scenes. I can't feel it when I stand opposite her." His emotions, let alone the audience."

Even though Zhao Baogang had anticipated this situation, he still couldn't help feeling a little regretful. This was his first time working with Zhou Jie, and the other party basically couldn't get any dramas because of the disputes inside and outside the industry. Which producer? The group is afraid.

But that's why it's cheap.

Xu Rong killed nearly 200 million budgets by himself. He really couldn't afford to hire an actor with a certain popularity and professional ability.

Before sending out the invitation, he also specifically asked his friends who had worked with Zhou Jie. After learning about the situation, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to hire him, because he thought that he could live in it.

"Are you just starting to shoot? You need to give people some time." Zhao Baogang said with a smile.

"No, didn't I shoot for a week before I came here?" Zhou Jie nodded first, but when he thought something was wrong, he asked back immediately.

Zhao Baogang saw that Li Xiaoran's complexion was getting darker and darker, and he was obviously a little annoyed, so he shook his face: "I am the director, if I say there is no problem, then there is no problem."

Zhou Jie seemed not to see Zhao Baogang's impatience at all, and retorted: "It's not about who is the director, but about the quality of the play itself. Lu Qiuying and Yuzhi Ichiro themselves admire each other. If there is no early stage Foreshadowing, even if I die a hundred times, the audience will not feel sorry."

His voice also raised a lot, as if he hoped to make Zhao Baogang pay more attention to his opinion.

"She has expressed what you said. I saw it clearly from the surveillance just now. When you saw him looking at Xu Rong, it was completely different from when he was looking at you." Zhao Baogang also raised his voice and said.

"But I don't feel it."

"I feel it!" Zhao Baogang interrupted him loudly, with a frighteningly high voice.

"Then I'll watch the replay."

"No, old machine, you can't keep looking at it, what if it breaks?!"

Listening to Zhao Baogang's remarks, Xu Rong couldn't help but twitched his mouth, Zhao Baogang was being unreasonable.

Seeing Zhou Jie walking away angrily, Zhao Baogang heaved a sigh of relief, waved to Xu Rong and Li Xiaoran and said, "Take a rest first, Xiao Ran, Xiao Xu, you two come here, I just had an idea, let's discuss it." .”

Xu Rong glanced at Li Xiaoran whose face was flushed by Zhou Jie's "slap", walked towards Zhao Baogang without saying a word.

What Zhou Jie said was true, but Ren Zhengzhu was standing beside him.

"Don't worry about it." Seeing that Li Xiaoran's eye circles were red, Zhao Baogang comforted him in a low voice, "He is a drama actor and knows how to act. There is nothing wrong with your performance."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Xu Rong and asked, "Xiao Xu, are you free tonight?"

Xu Rong froze for a moment, what do you mean?
He must not be free, and at night he has to prepare for tomorrow's announcement. Although the method Li Xuejian taught him earlier was a bit stupid, it was really easy to use. He worked on it bit by bit until he found the most suitable expression.

It may be that Jin Fangfang, who is an assistant, is tired.

But in fact, he was even more tired. If He Zhengjun hadn't taught him the method of soaking in a hot bath to relieve fatigue, he would not have dared to be so fierce from the beginning.

In his opinion, in the entire group, Zhou Jie was barely one of those who could fight.

It's hard for him to predict whether this drama will be popular, but this time his goal is very clear, he wants to be "Feng Jingyao" in "Harbin Under the Night".

He wants to win the audience, and he also pursues word of mouth.

Opportunities like this one don't come often.

Whether the acting skills are good or not, vertical comparisons are always controversial, for example, the logic of the script is not rigorous, the level of the director is uneven, the post-production is not professional, etc., but if you compare all the actors in the group horizontally, then the evaluation will be higher .

He heard from Zhao Baogang in private that the purpose of this drama was to be sent to CCTV.

If it does happen, even if the film schedule can't keep up with the opening of the year, if he gets a good ratings, he may even compete for the Feitian Award.

In case if you come back with a Shidi...
I have to invite Li Youbin to sit and chat every now and then.

By the way, I have to buy a new house in the urban area, otherwise it would not be convenient for Li Youbin to come to "look at" his achievements.

I bought it when classmate Xiao Zhang came back from filming, and let her look at it.

Xu Rong originally thought that after Zhao Baogang's quarrel just now, Zhou Jie would somehow realize the recklessness of his behavior.

But I don't know if he is really stupid, or if he hasn't filmed a movie recently, he suddenly raised the requirements for rival actors, or because he is good as a teacher himself, he is addicted to teaching people and paying back.

"Xiao Xu, it's not right for you to act like this. You are a teacher, a party member, and a noble character. You are dedicated to serving the country and the people. You show too much emotion." pointed out.

At this time, Xu Rong could understand Li Xiaoran's previous feelings, smiled, and said: "Then the expression will make the role of Wang Yimin ungrounded and unreal."

"In the face of the life and death of the country, how can there be so many emotions? You are the spiritual core of this drama. What you think about is the party and the country. You can have other emotions, but not so many."

Xu Rong was extremely fucked up. He was quite happy to have someone who could beat him a little bit. Who ever thought of so much shit.

"She can't act at all."

When Zhou Jie unabashedly expressed his views on Xu Huanhuan, Xu Rong could only smile wryly.

This is the craziest actor he has ever seen. With Zhou Jie's self-confidence, I am afraid that Li Xuejian and Chen Baoguo will come, and he will also give pointers.

Not only that, Zhou Jie has his own opinions on costumes, props, and sets, some of which Xu Rong thinks make sense after listening to them, and some of them are innocuous in themselves.

But after saying this, the atmosphere on the set suddenly fell into embarrassment.

Sitting next to Xu Rong, Jin Fangfang looked at Zhou Jie who was dismissive of the scene being filmed. She pointed to her forehead and said in a low voice, "Xu Rong, is there something wrong with him?"

Didn't you see that it took a long time to offend people?

Fortunately, he doesn't know how to edit and direct photography, otherwise he might be able to teach Zhao Baogang how to film.

After one shot, Zhao Baogang didn't give it this time, but said: "Readjust your mood."

"Xu Rong, am I really that bad at acting?"

It seemed that Zhou Jie was shocked, and Li Xiaoran was a little timid when he filmed again, so he didn't dare to act.

But after Zhao Baogang's suggestion in private, she didn't call him "Xiao Xu" again.

Xu Rong may not care, but if it gets out, she might be criticized.

What a wrist, even Xu Rong is younger than Xu Xiaoxu.

Xu Rong now almost understands Zhao Baogang's positioning of Li Xiaoran, a vase.

But he could also see that Zhao Baogang really wanted to train her, and the constantly improving script was also leaning towards the role of Lu Qiuying.

There is a high probability that they have plans to feed them out with drama.

Xu Rong looked at Li Xiaoran's apprehensive eyes, and wanted to say that he didn't understand, but he swallowed the words, which seemed too hypocritical, so he comforted him: "Don't care too much about other people's opinions. , Believe in yourself, this thing itself is worn out bit by bit, you see, the director praised you for your good performance before."
