Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Chapter 48: Director’s Space

Why did you choose the play I Am a Passerby?

I want to ask you, I picked it first, why did you also pick this play? Do you want to act opposite me?

...

Seeing Yuan Bingyan pretending to be innocent, Chen Ping no longer struggled with this issue.

The 40 actors have already selected the repertoire, so now it is rehearsal time.

The assistant director came over at this time and said, You two should discuss how to act in a while?

An assistant director is an assistant director.

Although the format of the program uses the one-shot model of a drama performance, it still requires a director.

Chen Ping, tell me, how to perform this play?

You haven't thought about it?

without.

Then you still choose this play?

Don't you think about it?

All right……

Chen Ping is not entangled in this issue either.

After looking at Yuan Bingyan, Chen Ping said honestly: Actually, this play is not easy to perform. Even if it is performed well, it may not be outstanding.

Why?

Think about it, what was the box office of I Am a Passerby directed by Director Er himself? Can our re-interpretation now surpass the original version?

I wouldn't have thought of it unless you told me.

This problem is quite serious.

Although I Am Passerby A is well-known, to be honest, he is really not popular.

As for why it is famous, it is because this is a very special film.

What he filmed was a story about a group of actors.

And it is also the work of the well-known director Er Dongshen.

But although this seemed very sentimental, the reality taught Er Dongsheng a vivid lesson, and it failed miserably at the box office.

I was just thinking before that I had been performing as a group performer for a while, and you were the same, so I chose this play.

Yuan Bingyan said.

Of course, she also believed that after she chose this play, Chen Ping would choose it too.

Even if this play is chosen by someone else, Chen Ping will use his S-level power to snatch it back.

But when Chen Ping said this, Yuan Bingyan became a little worried.

Compared with some other popular dramas, this drama is really a bit cold, and the box office is not high.

The low box office success proved that he was not liked by the audience.

Assistant guide, what do you think?

Yuan Bingyan asked for help.

The assistant director thought for a while and said more realistically: I am a passerby. This film uses a more realistic approach, like watching a documentary. So the whole plot is very real, but reality may not always attract people. Audience. Because many of the extras may not do well, even if they persist for a long time, they will still be extras in the end, and there are many sad stories in it, which will discourage the audience from liking this show.

For example, Lin Chen and Wei Xing in this scene.

Both of them are actors at the small special contract level. Lin Chen seems to be doing better, but in order to get one or two roles, he has to go through a lot of smiling faces.

Wei Xing is even more exciting. He is a small special agent, but he has high ambitions and low abilities. He has always dreamed of becoming a big star. Even if I just go to the set, I hope I can get the same treatment as other big stars. Eventually he broke up with his girlfriend and embarked on a path where no one knew where he would go.

There is also a hotel owner, Shen Kai, who had a mental problem because he had a conflict with his wife because of a role.

This is a tragedy.

The assistant director's analysis made Yuan Bingyan's heart sink.

It seems that this is even more difficult to perform than Three Lives and Three Lives.

However, after all, he graduated from theater. Although the play I Am a Passerby may not be very good, Yuan Bingyan still analyzed the advantages of this play: I think we can perform it. After all, this is a play about Movies and TV dramas about actors. Most of the people on the scene, including the four directors, have all been actors. At the same time, they are also the ones who can best understand the hearts of the actors, especially the extras. Why did Director Er film this drama with extras? , maybe it was these group performances that impressed him, so he started working on it.”

Tsk, tsk, not bad.

Chen Ping gave Yuan Bingyan a thumbs up: Those who come from a major are great.

Tch...in that case, let's get started.

etc.

how?

It's just the first point that it can arouse the interest of the four directors, but don't you think that this drama makes Director Er somewhat regretful?

It's not good at the box office, but it's a bit of a hit.

Not only in terms of box office, but I actually think we can revise our repertoire. If this was a one-act play, it would still be a tragedy. But what if we change it to a repertoire with positive energy?

You mean?

Come, let's analyze it.

Holding the script, Chen Ping analyzed it to Yuan Bingyan.

This play is about extra actor Lin Chen relying on many connections to find a role for extra actor Wei Xing, but Wei Xing felt that this was another extra act and didn't want to do it. At the same time, Wei Xing wanted to spend 50,000 yuan to go to an art training school to train acting skills, and then the two had a quarrel. According to the original drama, after the two quarreled, Wei Xing left Hengcheng, which also marked the breakup of the two, and they did not meet each other in the end.

Chen Ping's idea was that the first half should be played as it was in the first half, but in the second half, after the two had a quarrel, Wei Xing woke up. He got to know himself again and discovered that the most important thing in his life was not acting, but his girlfriend Lin Chen. As long as Lin Chen is here, he is willing to do anything...

This change also made the assistant coach's eyes light up and said: You can give it a try.

However, Yuan Bingyan on the side was a little hesitant: Chen Ping, have we changed the script?

That's right.

this……

Thinking of Chen Kaige scolding the actors for changing the script, Yuan Bingyan felt lingering fear.

But Chen Ping didn't notice anything: Don't worry. This is a variety show, not a real filming. As long as the changes are done well, the four directors won't have anything to say.

Yuan Bingyan thought about it and felt that this was the safer method, so he threw himself into the rehearsal without thinking too much.

The next day, after the two rehearsed, Wei Xing, played by Chen Ping, and Lin Chen, played by Yuan Bingyan, officially came on stage.

Director Er, how are you? What's it like watching your drama?

Chen Kaige said jokingly next to him.

have no idea.

Er Dongshen shook his head.

He was very complicated at the moment.

The movie I Am a Passerby is the one in which he has spent the most energy and has the greatest hope.

For this drama, he went to Hengcheng to interview more than 1,000 extras and accumulated more than 200 extras stories.

The entire story has 2 million words.

In the end, he selected a few representative stories from the 2 million words, and then made I Am a Passerby.

Er Dongshen also spent his own money to invest in this film.

Moreover, he also attracted dozens of celebrities, directors... to play small roles in I Am a Passerby.

But it's a pity that the drama he was most dedicated to ended up at his grandma's house.

Now seeing Chen Ping and Yuan Bingyan performing his I am a passerby again, Er Dongshen can't help but think of the scene when filming this drama.

However, Er Dongshen thought that Chen Ping would leave during the quarrel with Yuan Bingyan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping suddenly woke up during the quarrel.

When he saw Chen Ping and Yuan Bingyan hugging each other, Er Dongshen... quietly shed a tear.

Then, the system in Chen Ping's mind sent out a prompt:

[Completing Er Dongshen's Regret will reward you with 1 talent point and a director talent: Director Space. 】
