Chapter 176 The Acting Skills of a Comedian
The plot of this scene is very simple. Recently, the storyteller in Qixia Town talked about a book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This book aroused heated discussion in Qixia Town as soon as it started.
Borthels, gambling houses, inns, there are people talking about it everywhere.
The people at Tongfu Inn are no exception, especially Guo Furong, who has a heroic heart.
While several people were discussing, Xing Baotou happened to pass by and participated.
Everyone was talking about Guo Jing's loyalty and Yang Kang's betrayal. Only Xing Baotou found another way and complained about Qiu Chuji, which led to "If Qiu Chuji had not passed by Niujia Village".
Everyone knows this is a joke, but this joke is very advanced.
He does not simply appeal to people's emotions, but combines romance with history, giving people a sense of uncertainty upon hearing it.
“If Qiu Chuji had not passed by Niujia Village, Guo Jing and Yang Kang’s father would not have been targeted by officers and soldiers, and Guo Jing and Yang Kang would have grown up, attended school, and worked in Niujia Village in peace.
If Guo Jing had not gone to Mongolia, then Genghis Khan Temujin would not have been able to escape Jamuka's plot without Guo Jing's help, and Mongolia would not have been strong enough to unify.
If Mongolia were not unified, there would be no Western Expedition to Europe. Without the Western Expedition, gunpowder would not be introduced into Europe. Without gunpowder, the church and aristocratic rule of the time would not be shaken in Europe. If the rule is not shaken, there will be no There would be the Renaissance and the Great Navigation. Without the geographical discovery and primitive accumulation brought about by the Great Navigation, there would be no industrial revolution and capitalist development, and there would be no Opium War...
So everything is It started when Qiu Chuji stopped staying at the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain to refine elixirs, but traveled a long distance to become a killer and then passed by Niujia Village. "
After Xing Captou said a large part of his lines, everyone was stunned.
When it is broadcast, the audience will surely have the same reaction as them.
Zhang Chen did not deliberately avoid some modern words and history in his lines. On the contrary, he felt that modern words spoken by ancient people would have a specific comedic effect.
The earliest pioneer of this style was the Hong Kong movie "Happy Events in the Flower Field". Zhang Chen liked it very much, so he used it in "Wulin Gaiden" this time.
The effect is really good.
The style of this episode actually doesn’t match the others, but it doesn’t matter, it can be used for promotion.
The billion-dollar director writes and directs it himself, so it’s normal that it’s different.
If they are all the same, how can they be different?
The filming of the sitcom was very fun, as if everyone was playing a game together.
It definitely couldn’t be filmed in one afternoon, but it didn’t matter, this was the stunt they wanted.
The crew finished work early and booked a hotel in Pinggu. Zhang Chen hosted a banquet for all the crew in the evening.
After dinner, they had to rush back to the city.
Of course, there was a lot of drinking and drinking during the banquet, and Ning Caishen also arrived.
In the afternoon he stayed in the hotel writing the script, and didn't rush over until he was notified.
“Director Zhang wrote the scripts for these two episodes really well, full of whimsical ideas~”
Ning Caishen is a talented person, and I have never admired anyone in terms of talent. , but after reading Zhang Chen’s script today, I was astonished.
This is not something you can just write casually.
Only if you know enough about world history can you write it down so easily.
"Screenwriter Ning is too polite, I just wrote it for fun~"
Zhang Chen approached Shang Jing: "Director Shang worked hard these two days to film that episode. , cut out together with the previous five episodes, Manager Dong is already in contact with some TV stations, and will try to sell it as soon as possible."
Shang Jing quickly nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Fan Binbin and Jiang Wenli and I have agreed that they will make guest appearances in two days. You can make arrangements then, and they will be included in these two episodes and cut out together..."< br>
"Okay."
Shang Jing was a little excited when he heard that there was a big celebrity guest appearance.
It is common practice for celebrities to guest star in sitcoms, but it also depends on their connections.
The director has good connections, or the show itself is very influential, so he can find big star guest stars, such as the popular "Six".
Original Time and Space's "Wulin Gaiden" also has celebrity guest appearances, but they are all second- and third-tier stars. They are the kind of stars whose faces are familiar, but whose names may not be recalled. Now that Zhang Chen has taken over, it will definitely be different.
Zhang Chen patted Shang Jing on the shoulder: "It's nothing. I will get used to it gradually in the future. I will ask the stars who have worked with me to help them come up with guest roles. After the first season is broadcast, , it’s not like we beg others, there will be a large number of celebrities who want to come over to show their faces.”
Stars need exposure, and variety shows and guest appearances in sitcoms are the best way.
It doesn’t take long and the effect is pretty good.
Especially for small third- and fourth-tier artists, after watching a few dramas and becoming familiar with them, the fourth-tier talents become the third-tier talents.
Zhang Chen stood up and faced everyone: "Everyone, let me raise a glass. Thank you for your hard work during this period. You are all good actors. On behalf of Xingchen Entertainment, I would like to thank you all. I hope you can continue your efforts..."
Everyone agreed and raised their glasses.
After drinking, a voice suddenly asked: "Director, can our drama be popular?"
Everyone followed the voice and found that the question was about Xiaotong, and what she said was The director is not Shang Jing, but Zhang Chen.
Everyone was speechless.
It would definitely be inappropriate for other people to ask this, but Guan Xiaotong is still a child...
They actually have the same questions as Guan Xiaotong. Most of them acted in sitcoms, but the previous "Story of the Cooking Class" was only a little famous, and it was still a long way from being popular.
This time "Wulin Gaiden" is about to be the first costume sitcom in China, so I feel a little unsure.
Zhang Chen smiled: "It will definitely be popular, I promise."
Everyone couldn't help but feel hot when they heard Zhang Chen was so sure, but they also felt that Zhang Chen might just say yes. obedient.
Zhang Chen did not explain either: "Everyone will know by then that "Wulin Gaiden" will definitely become a classic, a classic in the sitcom world, and everyone will become a big star."
Of course Zhang Chen dares to be so sure, "Wulin Gaiden" without his blessing in history is already a classic.
With his participation, it will only get better and better.
And "Wulin Gaiden" is known as the TV series with the highest success rate. Not only the protagonists in the show, but also the supporting characters have become famous.
In terms of success rate, the only one that can compete with it in this aspect is "Soldier Assault".
Dong Jianqiang was also there to build confidence for everyone at this time:
“Don’t worry, the name of Director Zhang, a billionaire director, is still very useful. He has hosted dramas and participated in the scripts, and the TV stations are very Interested. By the way, Chen Xi, which TV stations have we contacted?”
Chen Xi was also very knowledgeable and said: “Zhejiang TV, Jingcheng TV, Shanghai TV, Mango TV, Jiangsu TV, they all I'm very interested and promised to watch the trailer then."
Dong Jianqiang: "So Director Shang Jing still has to hurry up and wait for the rice to fall into the pot~"
Just a joke, everyone. laughed.
Nothing makes these actors happier than a bright future for the show they're starring in.
Zhang Chen looked at these people and felt emotional.
The leading actors here have very good acting skills and will have their own achievements in the future.
Don’t think that you can’t do comedy acting.
On the contrary!
Acting in comedy requires the most acting skills.
Even in many cases, comedians can beat other people when they perform serious dramas.
Teacher Guo Donglin's performance in "A Mouse Falls in Love with a Cat" defeated the heroine Cecilia Cheung and surpassed Liu Tianwang. Even if he faced the best actor Huang Qiu-sheng, he would not fall behind. Very surprised.
A little-known sketch actor from the Mainland has such good acting skills, he is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
There is also Zhao Benshan, whose performances in "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" and "Liu Laogen" can be put into textbooks.
Many mainland actors have very good acting skills, but they just don't have a suitable stage.
