Chapter 27 Hand in homework
While discussing with Li Yang how to distinguish a good script, Li Yixiang walked out of the room after changing his clothes - obviously he had just taken off his clothes to sleep, and he really didn't treat Xu Kun and Bao Qiang as outsiders.
"Director Li."
Li Yixiang nodded to Li Yang, then walked over, picked up the imitation biographies of Xu Kun and Bao Qiang, and looked through them. As a result, his brows furrowed more and more as he read them.
Baoqiang was like a scumbag who was being corrected by the teacher, his nervous palms were all sweaty.
Xu Kun was very calm. He was born in a wild group performance, but his theoretical knowledge was incomparable to someone who came from a major. Not to mention that he had only been in the industry for more than three months.
"Um, uh, um..."
After Li Yixiang read the two people's 'homework', he hesitated for a long time and then said dryly: "Just practice more."
It was obvious that what the two of them had done by following the same pattern would not be able to catch his eye for the time being.
Li Yang took it and flipped it over, and was quite satisfied. Regardless of their level of skills, at least they both wrote very seriously, and it was obvious that they both used their brains.
He returned the two drafts to Xu Kun and Bao Qiang, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to Yixiang. Even his classmates who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, not all of them can write good biographies."
After that, the four people sat around and began to discuss the script, mainly Li Yang and Li Yixiang discussing changes in details. Xu Kun also expressed his opinions from time to time, and Bao Qiang acted as the best listener.
In the evening, Li Yang invited three people to have a meal again.
During the meeting, Li Yang mainly explained two things. One was that he hoped that Li Yixiang could take care of Xu Kun and Baoqiang before going to Shanxi. The second was to ask Xu Kun to think more about it from Tang Chaoyang's perspective. Thinking about how to show his youthful and bold side.
This is even leaving Xu Kun alone with homework.
In the next few days, Li Yang has been running around to save the crew and rent equipment. After Xu Kun, Bao Qiang and Li Yixiang got to know each other, they simply moved to his small courtyard to build a floor.
During the day, they were either working on scenes or pondering biographies, and they kept busy at night. The three of them closed the doors and windows, turned off all the lights, and put flashlights on their heads as if they had gone down into the mine.
Li Yixiang is a drama fanatic, he is carefree about other things, but he is not vague about acting. The two of them followed him for a week, and they felt that it was more effective than taking dozens of acting classes.
During this period, Xu Kun also published the first official character biography after repeated revisions, and in this biography, he gave his own answers to Li Yang's homework.
…………
"Tell me where you plan to start."
Li Yang, who had already booked the bus and was preparing to leave early tomorrow morning, heard that Xu Kun had come up with a solution, so he hurried to Li Yixiang's house to hear what he thought.
Although he didn't show it, the person he was most worried about losing his chain was Xu Kun - Baoqiang was a true performance, and Li Yixiang's level was on display here, but with Tang Chaoyang's experience and character, not everyone could do it. some.
That's why he gave Xu Kun separate homework, so that Xu Kun could fully understand this role.
Xu Kun was not afraid of stage fright. He took an excerpt from the script and showed it to Li Yang: "I think the plot of this massage parlor can be extended."
The plot he mentioned was that Song Jinming took pity on Yuan Fengming because he had never even touched a woman. It was too bad to die like this, so Tang Chaoyang took Yuan Fengming to a prostitute before proposing to take action.
Li Yang nodded slightly as he read the script and motioned for Xu Kun to continue.
So Xu Kun continued to talk: "Look, what is written in the script is that while Yuan Fengming and Xiaohong were upstairs, Tang Chaoyang and Song Jinming were sitting downstairs talking with the landlady and several ladies.
I was wondering if we could change it so that we could have two people singing karaoke downstairs with their arms around a woman. Nowadays, in small stores in the county down below, it is very common to set up color TVs and DVD players to sing karaoke. Moreover, after the two people committed murder and defrauded the bail, there was a plot where they went to KTV to sing for fun. This can be regarded as echoing from beginning to end.
Because Song Jinming is a man who values his family and has many things on his mind, he will only hug the young lady and sing absentmindedly without making any unnecessary movements. However, Tang Chaoyang treats the young lady next to him unscrupulously. up and down its hands.
This approach aroused Song Jinming's dissatisfaction, saying that the store was right on the street and could be seen from the outside, so don't cause any trouble. As a result, Tang Chaoyang not only did not restrain himself, but despite Song Jinming's dissatisfaction, Tang Chaoyang It's getting worse and worse.
The young lady couldn't stand Tang Chaoyang's rudeness, so she stood up and cursed, not wanting to do his business anymore. At this time, Tang Chaoyang grabbed the young lady's hair and pulled her back into his arms.
First he stuffed a few banknotes into her underwear and asked if it was enough. Seeing that the lady had a straight face and said nothing, he stuffed a few more banknotes, then pushed the lady's head down and forced her to serve him. The lady was concerned about the money. For the sake of it, I finally gave in half-heartedly.
So Tang Chaoyang proudly said to Song Jinming: In this world, making money is the most important thing, everything else is bullshit! Lao Song, do you think this is true?
Faced with Tang Chaoyang's naked provocation, Song Jinming finally chose to turn back silently and continue singing.
Tang Chaoyang snorted disdainfully at Song Jinming's back, then put his arms on the sofa, raised his head and showed an arrogant expression. "
After listening, Li Yang touched the stubble on his chin and pondered for a long time, then nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad, this plot is very well designed, but the details need to be refined and adjusted."
I can’t say how exquisitely designed this section is, but it fits the revised Tang Chaoyang very well, does not violate Song Jinming’s character design, and can even echo Yuan Fengming’s coming-of-age ceremony upstairs.
Li Yang even thought about the scene. Tang Chaoyang's cold and sinister eyes penetrated the ceiling, and then switched to the scene where Yuan Fengming and Xiao Hong finally came together.
However, there are also some problems in this plot. For example, singing karaoke downstairs in a massage parlor is a bit awkward, and Li Yang hopes that the tone of this film can be more "plain" and not so "domineering".
But putting these aside, Xu Kun's performance has exceeded Li Yang's expectations, which shows how much he cares about this role.
This made most of Li Yang's heart drop. As for the remaining half, he had to wait until he went to Shanxi and watched Xu Kun's live performance before he could be sure.
In the following time, he took Xu Kun and Li Yixiang to supplement the plot.
For example, singing karaoke should be proposed by the boss lady, and the rough lines are tentatively:
Boss lady: Do you two bosses want to sing and relax?
Tang Chaoyang: Can you sing in this massage parlor?
Boss Wife: Isn’t it good that business has been good recently? If you sing karaoke while waiting in line, the bosses will become less angry.
[Here, he winked and asked the two young ladies to take the initiative to solicit customers. 】
Tang Chaoyang hugged one of the young ladies and joked: "I think the more you sing, the more angry you become."
Song Jinming refused: We will not deal with this.
The proprietress persisted: We’ve come here all this time—don’t worry, we don’t pay for singing here.
Song Jinming still wanted to refuse, but Tang Chaoyang rushed to agree.
This scene was inserted within one minute after Yuan Fengming went upstairs for the first time and before he ran downstairs after being frightened.
The confrontation between Tang Chaoyang and Song Jinming was placed after Yuan Fengming went upstairs for the second time, and was limited to three minutes.
After roughly smoothing these things out, it’s almost evening. More detailed modifications can only be discussed after going to Shanxi.
The four of them were about to find a nearby restaurant to fill their stomachs when Xu Kun's cell phone rang suddenly.
Xu Kun took out his cell phone and took a look, and saw the caller displayed as: Big-mouthed movie queen.
