Chapter 70: Accurate grasp of the role
But now, Deng Ziqi was surprised to find out.
Su Chen's control over the set was beyond her imagination.
Brother Chen, you said this is your first time filming a movie?
The reason why Deng Ziqi was a little resistant before was because she was a newcomer in the film and television industry, and Su Chen was also a newcomer in the industry. She might not be able to learn anything from Su Chen.
But now it seems that Su Chen is not as simple as he seems.
Yang Mi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Chen, who exuded the aura of a great director.
She grew up on the film set and knew very well that such temperament and aura can only be found in successful directors.
Combined with the script of "Wulin Waijia" that I saw before.
Now Yang Mi can be sure that Su Chen really has something.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to write such a sophisticated and brilliant script as "Wulin Waijiao" and it would have been impossible to control the set so freely.
At this time, Yang Mi was extremely glad that she joined Su Chen's studio.
Not only has the song become popular, but now that the drama is done, the future is bright. She may have a double harvest in film, television and music.
Su Chen felt a great sense of accomplishment when he saw that the crew members were so obedient.
This is his first time directing a TV series, and the feeling of dominating the set is something he can't experience when making music.
In order to save costs, Su Chen has reduced the size of to a minimum.
But even so, the total number of people on the scene exceeded one hundred.
There are five people in the director team alone, including the deputy director, executive director, assistant director, and Su Chen himself.
The photography team has two cameras, two camera positions, three photographers, and three photography assistants, a total of six people.
There are four people in the lighting team, ten people in the production team, twelve people in the script team, four people in the makeup team, and four people in the costume team.
There is also a recording group and an art group.
Plus the cast.
etc……
Even though Su Chen streamlined the crew to the extreme, the total number of people still reached more than a hundred.
Fortunately, all the expenses of the crew were paid by Xingyi, and Su Chen did not have to pay a penny.
I saw that the cameras, lights, scenes and everything were ready.
Su Chen gave instructions to the cast members:
"The actors are ready! The shooting will start in ten minutes!"
Looking at the actors he found, Su Chen was quite satisfied.
There is no doubt that it would be most appropriate to find the original actors.
Although, in this time and space, the conditions of the actors are slightly different.
For example, Yan Ni, who plays Tong the shopkeeper, was 34 years old when she played this role in her previous life, which made her look a little old. But in this time and space, Yan Ni is only 30 years old, and her age and temperament are just right.
As for Zhu Wushuang, Su Chen gave this role to Deng Ziqi.
On the one hand, Deng Ziqi has joined his own studio. If he doesn't support his own people, who else can he support? Moreover, their appearance, age and temperament are very compatible.
The role of Guo Furong was not given to Yao Dazui, but to Yang Mi.
Because Su Chen felt that the compatibility between Yao Dazui and the role of Guo Furong was not very high.
The character of Guo Furong is like this. She is a strong-willed girl who runs away from home. Her parents are both heroes and have prominent family backgrounds.
To sum it up, she is stunningly beautiful and kind-hearted, but because of her superior family background, she has the temper of a spoiled young lady, appears wild and willful, and not very sensible.
She is just a young lady who has fallen on hard times, and has been tempered at the bottom of society. She has never been involved in worldly affairs, but has gradually come to understand the sufferings of the people and has grown up. It is best that she has shed her willful and spoiled nature and developed a better character.
Guo Furong, played by Yao Dazui, is indeed willful, but her appearance is not that of a top beauty, which is a flaw in itself. Moreover, she does not have the temperament of a rich lady at all.
Why did the original version choose Yao Dazui?
The fact is, the screenwriter Cai Shenye looked down on Yao Dazui at first, thinking that Yao Dazui's image was too different from his ideal Guo Furong. However, because the crew was too poor and could not find a better actor, they had to accept Yao Dazui.
At that time, Yao Dazui's pay was 1,000 yuan per episode.
To put it bluntly, the original director and screenwriter both believed that Yao Dazui was not the most suitable candidate.
By contrast.
Yang Mi's appearance is much more suitable.
Young and beautiful, willful and capricious, with that kind of charisma. To be honest, in the current entertainment industry, Su Chen couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Yang Mi to play Guo Furong.
The other actors such as Jiang Chao, Wang Shasha, Yu Entai, etc. were just right, so Su Chen directly used the original ones.
As for the most important male protagonist, Bai Zhantang, Su Chen took the lead himself.
I have a master-level performance skill package and a master-level performance on the spot. With these two killer weapons, it would be unreasonable to go to others.
So after arranging everything, Su Chen also came to the makeup artist Xiaoqing.
This made Xiaoqing very excited.
She never thought that she would have the opportunity to personally do makeup for her idol Su Chen.
During the makeup process, Xiaoqing even lost her focus several times.
But fortunately, she was an experienced makeup artist after all, so there were no mistakes and she quickly created the image of Bai Zhantang in ancient costume.
During this period.
Su Chen also called all the actors over.
Except for Jiang Chao who has more seniority, the others, whether it is Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi, Wang Shasha, Yu Entai and others, their performance experience is slightly insufficient.
Su Chen explained the play to them one by one.
This made all the actors immediately convinced of Su Chen.
To be honest, before, no one had much confidence in Su Chen.
After all, Su Chen’s resume is there. He is a newbie in the film and television industry and it is his first time. How capable can he be?
These people were either small-time actors with no other roles to play or students at school. They took on the role with the mentality that something was better than nothing.
Especially Jiang Chao. He was one of those people who reached the peak right after his debut. After his first TV drama became a big hit, he almost disappeared.
He was extremely happy that Su Chen found him and asked him to play such an important role as Li Dazui.
He has read the script and it is definitely a good script.
Moreover, Su Chen is now the most popular star on the entire Internet.
Even if the final performance of this drama is not ideal, it can still take advantage of Su Chen's popularity and return to the audience's attention, right?
But after watching Su Chen's performance on the set and now listening to Su Chen's talk about acting, Jiang Chao was shocked to find that Su Chen really had something.
Such precise grasp of the role made Jiang Chao, who had studied the script for several days, feel inferior.
After putting on makeup, Su Chen’s part was almost over.
Next, the actors took their positions.
"The first scene of "Wulin Wai Zhuan", the first shot!"
"start!"
The stagehand slapped the board.
"Wulin Waijia" officially entered the filming stage.
