Chapter 282 The Road to Ascension
Before the official reading, Chen Linfeng briefly explained some of the basic settings of the play to everyone present.
Especially the producer (Fang Hua) who has never read the script, and the few actors who only have their own scripts.
"The title of our play is "Reply 1990". Its background does not refer specifically to the year 1990, but to the entire 1990s.
Some friends may have discovered , what happens in the play does not strictly follow the time of historical events.
An obvious example is that the first incident reflected the 1990 Asian Games, and immediately followed the plot of the Four Kings of Hong Kong, which only appeared after 1992.
Similarly, the location is also uncertain. In the case of the Asian Games, people from Yanjing must be selected as volunteers for raising placards.
Whether it is the structure of the room or the living habits of the characters in the play, it is obvious that this place is not Yanjing. ”
“Why is it set like this? I think with your ability, Xiao Chen, you should be able to write a perfect story, with no logical errors in time and place. "Fang Hua asked directly.
This is also the doubt of most people present.
Chen Linfeng explained, "Our drama is mainly to stimulate the youthful nostalgia of the audience.
To arouse the resonance of the broadest audience, it should be based on the state of life of the entire northern people and families in that past era. It is based on the specific time and place.”
At this point, he smiled helplessly, “Actually, if China were not so vast, the gap in living habits between the north and the south would be too big. , I will even abandon the concept of the north, and I have tried to cover it up as much as possible in the script."
When Chen Linfeng said this, his voice became higher.
“I emphasize these points before the round-up reading because I hope everyone can have a clear understanding of the goal of the whole play.
Our vision is that when the audience watches this show, they can feel that this may be the era they have experienced before.
It is their childhood, youth, or the past with some happiness or even some regrets.
If such expectations can be realized, then I don’t think the ratings should be mentioned, but film and television classics are our expectations.
As long as it can be realized, as actors, you will definitely have a higher position in the hearts of the audience.
Because to some extent, you have become their emotional sustenance. ”
Having said this, Chen Linfeng paused, looked at the people in front of him with expectant eyes, and said sincerely:
"To achieve such a goal depends on the wonderful performance of all the main creators. I hope everyone will devote all their energy to In the creation of this drama.
Thank you in advance for your support. We will encourage each other."
These words are accompanied by encouragement and encouragement. Several younger actors were very excited, and even some veteran actors were a little moved.
Who doesn’t want to have a classic character and a classic TV series that can enter the hearts of the audience?
The newly joined Qin Hao and others clenched their fists, as if they saw a bright future waving to them.
As the nominal protagonist, Shi Xiaolong was even more agitated.
This is my path to ascension!
After the chicken blood injection, everyone will sit together as a group, no matter what posture or attitude, as long as they can express their emotions in reading the lines with both voice and emotion.
After the screenwriter writes the script for the first time, there is actually a re-creation process.
Every actor has his own language habits, and they often make certain adjustments to their lines based on their own habits.
In some classic scenes of film and television, the wonderful performance of the actors is sometimes a flash of inspiration and the lyrics are changed on the spot.
This situation is even more common in script reading.
Especially after Chen Linfeng took the chicken blood, everyone's enthusiasm was very high, and they also paid more attention to the lines in the play.
At the beginning, someone felt something was wrong with the lines and wanted to request changes.
It's Guo Da.
He had different opinions about the funny parts of his character.
"Director Xiao Chen, what is the form of Chen Dafeng's performance at the beginning? The script has dancing and rhythm, which I can't imagine."
Chen Linfeng said thoughtfully, "Well, this is indeed a problem."
He tried to follow the funny appearance of the protagonist's father in the original work of his previous life, and added the translated and changed jokes in his own script, and danced a bit.
"Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me~,
Stretch, stretch, stretch your head and take a look,
It turns out this is my home."
Chen Linfeng sang in a weird tune while doing the funny moves in the original work.
With a "Pfft" sound, someone (referring to Liu Qianqian) couldn't hold back and laughed.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Shi Xiaolong laughed without any shame.
"Indeed, it's a bit strange for Director Xiao Chen to do this kind of action."
The whole place was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Guo Da tried to learn it himself, but was disgusted with it,
"Xiao Chen, you can't do this, it's not funny at all. I'll go back and try to change it myself."
< br>
Indeed, some people laugh when Chen Linfeng performs his actions because his appearance is such a contrast.
This sudden embarrassment made a few people a little nervous.
But to be honest, the effect of laughter is not very obvious.
At least Guo Da, a good performer at the Spring Festival Gala, didn't like it and decided to do it himself.
Chen Linfeng has no objection to this. This is what script reading is for. As long as the request is reasonable, he will also modify it.
It started with Guo Da, but later on when other people's lines or plot parts came up, some people raised objections.
There were some reasonable ones, and Chen Linfeng made changes on the spot.
Nearly all of the actors present are excellent actors with a lot of experience, and they all have their own understanding of the lines and plot. They may not know the entire script, but they have been thinking about their content before.
This is the first time we have gathered together. Once we know other people’s plots, a lot of inspiration will suddenly pop up.
The situation is good now.
Because several big-name veteran actors, as well as Liu Qianqian and Shi Xiaolong, dared to put forward different opinions.
It led others to start brainstorming, and the team atmosphere became very good.
The work of a screenwriter is actually not limited to the early stage. During the process of joining the team, it is also common for the screenwriter to revise the script.
In recent years, the status of screenwriters has continued to decline, while the status of actors, directors, and investors has skyrocketed.
The job of the screenwriters is no longer to change the unreasonable plot, but to participate in the brainstorming and re-creation of the main creators.
More often than not, he becomes a tool for various forces to temporarily add drama or compete for position.
Of course Chen Linfeng will not encounter this kind of problem. He and his father originally set a priority system for dramas, which did not include script reading.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to organize a script reading.
Time will pass quickly when you are attentive.
Before I knew it, the day passed.
When the show was about to end, Lei Jiayin and Zhang Luyi came over and expressed their gratitude to Chen Linfeng.
The two of them were selected separately as Shi Xiaolong's eldest brother (Lei Jiayin) in the play, the person who looked very much like Uzi in the original work.
As well as the actor who is the third brother (Zhang Luyi) in the Liu Qianqian and Shu singing opera, the older-looking younger brother in the original work.
For both of them, this was of course a very surprising thing, so they met for the first time today and came over to meet the boss as a routine.
Chen Linfeng nodded and said, "You two have quite a lot of roles, so perform well."
"Hey, sure, we will definitely work harder." Lei Jiayin said with a wide smile.
Zhang Luyi also nodded repeatedly.
Chen Linfeng waved his hand and left first.
As the junior members of the crew, these two people are actually similar to Qin Hao. They both felt a little at a loss at first.
Since we don't want to disturb others too much, we have no choice but to group together on our own.
Just then Lei Jiayin saw that Qin Hao was also alone. His eyes lit up and he said hello.
"Hi, Liu Donglong, I am Chen Zhengfeng (in the play)."
"Ah, hello." Qin Hao felt relaxed when he saw someone taking the initiative to talk to him.
“Hello, I am Zhang Luyi, who plays Li Hui.”
"Didn't you agree that you should call the names in the play during the filming?" Lei Jiayin corrected.
"Ah, yes," Zhang Luyi changed his words, "I am Li Hui, the younger brother of Li Jingshu and Li Wenzhu."
"Haha," the three of them laughed inexplicably.
The friendship between men is inexplicable and they chatted together quickly.
Li Xuejian saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but admire in his heart.
"What I did today is like changing the atmosphere in the crew all at once. Xiao Chen is so good at it."
When I was in "The Exploding Drummer" last time, I didn't have this skill yet.
Zhang Guoli and Jiang Wenli are old friends, and they are also chatting about their experiences in the new crew.
"Xiao Chen is worthy of being a director who has made so many achievements. This method is incredible, and he can do it better than some senior directors."
"Yes," said Zhang Guoli himself As a director, he knows this very well.
"Anyway, the atmosphere on the set is good and everyone feels comfortable. There is still a great director in charge, so there are not so many things."
Chen Linfeng himself did not expect that it would be such a development path.
He was just doing his usual job, but unexpectedly he brought out the emotions in the hearts of the creators present.
He couldn't even understand the subsequent development.
Why did it go so smoothly?
Chen Linfeng was still thinking about this issue while eating dinner.
Isn’t that right? When it comes to saying chicken soup, there are probably directors who are better than Chen Linfeng.
But essentially, it depends on who can tell how effective chicken soup is.
Xiao Chen is a contestant who has never lost a single game since entering the film and television industry and has always had big hits.
He stated his plans and expectations straightforwardly. Even if he was more dry, he could arouse everyone's endless reverie.
Because he has enough experience ahead of him to make people believe that his script is so strong that Xiao Chen can do it.
Besides, as a professional, you can really appreciate the quality when you see the script in your hands.
The prospect is there, how can we not work hard.
The big pie you draw can be realized with a high probability, which is the key among the keys.
This is a state that directors who are better at speaking cannot achieve anyway.
