Chapter 99 Entering the Drama
In the mountains and forests, Xu Huanshan and Zhang Yuan’s ancestors and grandsons roamed in the bamboo sea.
Mr. Xu looked sideways slightly and found that although Zhang Yuan was following closely beside him, he was still half a step behind and slightly bowed his head, making the man who was originally slightly taller than him appear half a minute shorter.
"Senior brother is indeed right." Xu Huanshan blinked.
As the saying goes: Before you learn art, you must first learn how to be a human being.
In their time, respect for teachers and elders was a young man's duty.
But in this era, it seems that these young people only show respect for money and power.
The old man has suffered from "speaking", so he is not willing to give advice to others easily.
But Zhang Yuan is different. With Yu Wenzhong’s recommendation, he must provide serious guidance.
But he has a straight temper and doesn't speak well.
"I've watched your recent performances." Xu Huanshan stroked his beard: "I won't say any good things."
"Just pointing out the problem..."
The old man spoke eloquently, giving He criticized it from head to toe, and his words were much more intense than Yu Wenzhong, who played Zhang Sanfeng.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Yuan felt that even a dog could act better than himself.
"Are you still confident?" Xu Huanshan's thick voice struck his heart.
Zhang Yuan shook his cheeks and shook his head desperately.
"Hahaha, okay, that's right!" Xu Huanshan laughed loudly, leaving him confused.
“It’s about getting rid of your self-confidence and removing your personality from your performance.”
“Otherwise, any role you play, no matter the mood or scene, will be filled with confidence. This is wrong.”
Zhang Yuan suddenly understood.
"Maybe this is the origin of the so-called greasy acting skills..."
After all, he is an old mage. He not only sees blood for a while, but also has very cruel and effective methods.
"Actually, at the end of the performance, there are only two ways." Mr. Xu Huanshan gestured with two fingers: "I, and no-self."
"What kind of person should act? Characters turn characters into themselves. ”
“And the other kind of people turn themselves into characters. ”
"In our crew, Wei Zongwan, who plays Zhong Wanchou, is a master in the realm of selflessness. You can watch more of his performances."
Zhang Yuan nodded. Teacher Wei Zongwan is indeed a master, master, master.
The veteran in "Sanmao Joins the Army", Sima Yi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Gao Qiu in "Water Margin", and Dan Mianmian in "Smart Escape".
Any role this actor has played can completely defeat any remake with just one look.
In the later "Tou Ming Zhuan", in the scene where the three elders are sitting in the hall, three veteran actors compete on the same stage. Wei Zongwan is still the one with the most changes in his eyes and inner drama.
In just a few minutes of performance, he was able to completely overwhelm the three Mesozoic masters, Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro, and their performance skills have reached a state of perfection.
Playing a comedy makes people laugh so hard that they will never forget it, and playing a villain makes people so scared that they can’t sleep at night.
When filming "Sanmao Joins the Army", director Zhang Jianya knelt down on one leg in order to invite this person to come out.
The old man is not trying to be a big star, he just finds it boring.
Because in the eyes of Wei Zongwan at that time, looking at the entire Chinese film and television industry, only Li Baotian could compete with him, and he was not interested in acting opposite others.
At the same time, we can see the strength of Li Baotian. Perhaps this is the reason why Zhang Guoli only cooperated with Wang Gang and Zhang Tielin in his later period.
It’s so tiring to act with Lao Li!
The same goes for "Dragon Movie". Zhang Beard personally called and begged the old man to act.
But Mr. Wei said that he was not good at costume dramas and wanted to refuse...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan fully understood that Mr. Wei had already played Sima Yi, Gao Qiu and other historical figures to that extent. , but still said that he is not good at costume dramas.
How can I be confident in my performance?
Xu Huanshan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that his brows were furrowed and his temperament was slowly sinking.
"Senior brother really didn't lie to me. This guy's understanding is far beyond ordinary people."
After all, so many basic attributes of acting are not just for nothing.
The two walked together, seemingly just chatting and not discussing performance skills.
Just like if you ask Dugu for a sword move, he will only spread his hands.
"The opponent is up, and he is dead with just one sword. What is there to say."
For an actor of this level, skills have been integrated into his blood. With a wave of his hand, everything is there. Skill.
At the end of the break, the old man and the young man just returned to the shooting scene.
When the two left, Gao Fu kept looking around.
"Obviously it was me who asked the old man for advice first..."
He always felt like he was being NTRed.
It was the same scene as before, everyone returned to the hanging wall.
“This is Mr. Duan from Dali Kingdom.” Bao BuTong introduced to Murong Fu.
"Hello, Mr. Duan." Zhang Yuan stepped forward steadily, cupping his fists and saluting.
Standing behind him, Xiu Ge, who was playing the role of Feng Bo Evil, was slightly startled. This boy felt different from before!
After Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan met, Zhang Yuan's expression turned cold, then he flicked his sleeves and passed by the two of them.
“Hmph!”
This cold snort hit everyone’s hearts, and they all felt the darkness in Murong Fu’s heart.
Jealousy, resentment, shame...
The cousin who fell in love with him actually had a private meeting with outsiders in the mill.
And the other party is the crown prince of Dali, the crown prince of a country.
Wherever my country is, I should be the king of a country.
Compared with each other, they are even more resentful.
The object of my affection for my dog-licking cousin has everything I desire.
Whether it was personal feelings or the heavy burden on my shoulders, they were all stung hard at this moment.
Liu Qianqian on the side saw Zhang Yuan's back when he left and caught a glimpse of his cold eyes, and her heart tightened for no reason.
Her acting experience is still shallow, and her understanding of the characters is still one-sided.
But after seeing Zhang Yuan's performance, she seemed to understand Wang Yuyan's infatuation and sadness.
“Stuck!”
"Very good, better than the last time. Zhang Yuan has improved!" Zhou Xiaowen certainly wouldn't be stingy in praising this little brother.
“Let’s get ready for the next scene.”
This next scene is the scene during Zhang Yuan’s audition, when Murong Fu encountered his inner demon in the chess game.
"Ah!!!" Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, his whole body seemed crazy, and there was a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The sword in his hand was swung wildly but without any order, as if he wanted to kill everyone around him.
"Get out, get out, get out of here!!!"
Zhang Yuan shouted hoarsely, and the shadow of Sifangbu had long disappeared from his feet, and it was like a mess.
At this time, Lin Zhiying, who played Duan Yu, raised his hand and struck out with the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the crazy Zhang Yuan fell to the ground.
“Cousin, you don’t have to worry so much if you can’t solve the chess game.”
At this moment, Sissi fell to her knees and grasped Zhang Yuan’s big and small hands tightly. On the front of the dress, two beautiful eyebrows hang upside down, and the look of panic is palpable.
"What do you know!" Zhang Yuan used his left hand to push Qianqian to the ground without any mercy.
Of course, he still restrained his strength, otherwise he could push Liu Qianqian out of the air and do a backflip.
Sissi stumbled and fell onto the dusty ground.
“You know what I’m thinking!” Zhang Yuan mixed all the distress and anger in the character’s heart into this line, spewing out like a volcano!
Woo......
Infinite grievances welled up in Sissi's heart, and her eyes suddenly became gleaming. Her nose was sore, and her eyebrows, which were already drooping, were as frost-beaten as a rose, unable to recover.
Huh...
Unable to lift it in one breath, Sissi trembled and cried.
"Stuck!" Zhou Xiaowen was extremely excited: "One pass, perfect performance!" Wow...
But it was different from the feeling of relief that everyone felt, knowing that they could finish work early today.
Liu Qianqian was still sitting on the dirt floor, tears bursting from her eyes, and she began to cry steadily.
The crying was accompanied by bouts of choking and sobbing from time to time.
If I covered my face, I would have thought it was a naughty boy sobbing.
"Sissi, what's wrong?" Zhang Yuan hurried forward and tried to help her up, but was pushed away by Sissi.
"Why did you push me!" Sissi's two pink-colored calves kept kicking the ground, crying while making trouble
"Why did you push me? I'm obviously so good to you..."
"I feel wronged, I feel uncomfortable, I feel hurt!" Liu Qianqian cried, and within a minute she started retching, almost vomiting herself.
Zhang Yuan knew immediately at the first glance that he was into a drama!
"Are you okay?" Zhou Xiaowen cautiously stepped forward to check.
"It's okay, just take a moment and you'll be fine. I'm here with you." Zhang Yuan waved his sleeves and asked everyone to disperse.
The cast and crew were also worried. After all, Liu Qianqian was young, so she didn’t go far and just watched nearby.
Hiss...heh...
After another five or six minutes, Sissi's sobs gradually subsided.
Looking at it now, her cheeks were red and her eye makeup had already been smeared.
"Zhang Yuan..." Liu Qianqian hugged her shoulders and huddled up.
Zhang Yuan looked like this and quickly covered her whole body with the big sleeves of the costume.
"It's done, let's all leave."
Seeing what he said, everyone understood and left one after another.
Gao Feng, who plays Xu Zhu, touched his shaved bald head and sighed in his heart.
"Zhang Yuan's performance just now was obviously improved by half a level compared to before."
"Just after walking around with Mr. Xu Huanshan for a while, he improved!"
Gao Rui grinned: "Who is the professional?"
He was somewhat doubtful about the value of his Chinese Opera diploma.
“Liu Qianqian is a novice, and being able to bring her into the play shows that Zhang Yuan’s performance is very precise and natural.”
"After all, only good actors can make their opponents play."
Just like Master Huang, why does his acting skills always fluctuate?
It depends on who is playing the supporting role. This is a very picky partner, focusing on a 50-50 split.
When you are strong, you will be strong; when you are weak, you will be angry...
Gao Fou patted the back of his head.
"Obviously in the book it was Xu Zhu who obtained the skills taught by Xiaoyaozi."
"How come in reality, Murong Fu got an advantage?"
"It's weird, it's weird... "
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Yuan spoke.
“Get up, there’s no one left.”
"I don't, you push me!" Sissi turned her head away, her face turned red, and she obviously felt that her crying just now was very rude and embarrassing.
"Isn't this filming? Besides, this is your first time in a movie."
"Yes." Sissi replied in a sweet voice.
"That means you have made progress, how great." Zhang Yuan patted the dust on her calf: "Other actors at your age can't do this. This doesn't mean you are smart and savvy. Gao!"
He quickly picked up good words to coax.
"Hehehehe..." Sissi turned her head away and snickered. It was obvious that the compliment was very useful, and she was as happy as Crayon Shin-chan with a side face.
"Get up."
"You push me!"
Zhang Yuan:...
Sure enough, women, no matter their age, are really angry. It's all unreasonable.
"Shall I secretly stuff you a fried chicken leg tonight?"
Sissi still didn't look back, but raised her little hand and stretched out three fingers.
"Okay, three chicken drumsticks, but the score will be given in three days, otherwise your mother will have to drag you on the scale again."
Sissi stretched out her little finger, and after the two of them pulled the hook, she Get up.
【Received thanks from Liu Qianqian, +1 for appearance, +1 for temperament, +1 for acting skills! 】
After all, this girl still knows who is good and who is good... Zhang Yuan looked at the attributes he had received.
And I got acting points from her for the first time, so it seems that she has really improved.
"Sissi."
"What?"
"Remember that feeling just now."
"Huh!" Liu Qianqian stopped jumping and raised her little head: "I will remember it forever!"
Evening.
Zhang Yuan took Huang Julong to practice martial arts with him.
These days, he has learned swordsmanship and marksmanship that he has never dabbled in before.
Of course, he also taught the other party the yin and yang stick that he was good at in return.
It is said that half of the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin, and Zhang Yuan must have spread it...
"Hey, Zhang Yuan, good news!" Halfway through the training, he received a call from Zhao Decai.
“Our movie “Conquest” has been released on Jinling Satellite TV!” Fatty Zhao was extremely excited.
After being broadcast on International TV Station, the average ratings reached 9.1%.
This makes "Conquest" eligible to be on the provincial stage.
It doesn't matter. After three days of broadcasting, the ratings have reached 6.5%.
The difference between the number of viewers on local channels and provincial channels is more than one level. Many films that can get ratings of more than 15% on local channels cannot even reach 3% after being launched.
"Conquer" has achieved this result since it was launched, which is already extraordinary.
“Hahaha, because of the ratings, the DVD of the film has also sold like crazy. The first batch of 10,000 copies has already been sold out.”
“The second batch was simply made. 50,000 pieces, all the channel dealers are rushing to get them, but this is not enough.”
Zhang Yuan roughly calculated that Fatty Zhao only spent 5 million to buy this film. Now he has made hundreds of thousands of dollars from the optical disc, and there will definitely be more in the future.
It is impossible to say that the cost can be roughly recovered by selling CDs alone.
In those days, pirated copies were everywhere. For every genuine copy sold, at least ten pirated copies were sold.
Although the DVD will make a lot less money in this way, it will also increase the popularity of the film itself, letting more TV stations know about this popular drama, and selling more copies to earn copyright fees.
“Congratulations!”
"Tongxi, I will give you a big red envelope when the time comes!"
Fatty Zhao is good at this, he is a good friend, he never hits a monk after reciting sutras, and he is generous with his actions.
"Then I'm not polite... By the way, I need your help with something." Zhang Yuan said: "I need some documents and procedures to go to Baodao. You can help me in the name of the company. Let’s handle it.”
Zhao Decai didn’t quite understand, but he agreed.
After all, the movie is a hit and I feel great.
However, not everyone is as happy as the two of them.
At this time, one person looked very ugly.
Zhang Jizhong!
