Chapter 350 "Huang Bo'er" mixed into the most important characters of the crew

The crew of "When Men Are in Love", the backyard of a certain factory
Cao Xuan is wearing one of the most popular hairstyles in the 90s [Guo Tianwang head], with a floral shirt on his upper body and flared pants on his lower body. He is chewing on the local dried sweet potatoes in Weishi.

Playfully looking at the fat boss in front of him who was cheating and not paying back the money, he kicked the big brother who had just been found out.

"Mr. Wu is boring. If you can afford the new big brother, you can't pay back our company's money."

"It was paid off by someone else, I didn't buy it, if you want it, just take it."

"Okay, I'll give you 9% of the new market price, what about the rest."

"I don't have any money, I really can't, you kill me."

The guest actor who plays the fat boss is an old acquaintance, Hong Jiantao from the air administration, who was able to play Gao Ya Nei in the past, made people itch, and now the little boss who owes money and refuses to pay is not to mention.

Kneeling down and begging for mercy, crying bitterly, beating and scolding, interceding and selling miserably, but in a word, there is no way to pay back the money!
"I'll give Brother Ye Fochao, what can I say to him, debts and repayment, it's only right and proper, I'll hit him twice with a hammer, and it's over to kill him."

With curly hair perming, he said whether he was handsome or ugly, and Huang Bo, who was a bit funny, was carrying a hammer and swearing in island dialect.

His appearance and dialect are specially designed to highlight the comic and exaggerated.

Originally, I wanted to dye yellow hair, but later, considering that the 90s hadn't reached that level yet, I specially gave Huang Bo a slightly ugly curl, and found a bit of "Crazy Racing" Geng Hao's demeanor.

As for the dialect, Cao Xuan asked him to speak it in order to highlight the characters, deepen the impression and enrich the comedy.

As for the other leading actors, most of them speak Mandarin. After all, it is a commercial film with a romantic theme, so it cannot be completely realistic.

Otherwise, Cao Xuan's "Grandma Sun Nye has a leg" with a Zaoshi accent is real and down-to-earth, but the romantic and warm atmosphere that a romance movie should have is gone.

Therefore, except for a few characters and prominent characters, everyone else mainly uses Mandarin lines.

The confrontation between the two sides is actually acting out.

The fat boss pretends to be poor and sells miserably, betting that Cao Xuan and the others dare not get him to death, the money is gone, and he broke the law
Cao Xuan and Huang Bo Shuanghuang coaxed and frightened, and they mainly used intimidation to force people to pay back the money.

But seeing that ordinary threats don't work, then use the trump card - to kill.

The fat boss bet that Cao Xuan would not dare to kill him, so Cao Xuan bet him that he would not kill the fat boss, but he could kill himself.

As long as someone dies, no one can get rid of the responsibility, and everyone will bet on who has the most courage and who will not be able to hold on first.

"Big fat."

Cao Xuan stretched out his hand behind him, and Jiang Chao, with a simple expression on his face, handed over the two plastic bottles in his hand.

"Pooh."

After spitting out half of the dried sweet potato in his mouth, Cao Xuan raised his head and poured a few mouthfuls of the liquid in it, coughed twice, his face flushed red, panting heavily, pouring another bottle on his clothes and the ground with a stern expression.

The fat boss smelled it and was taken aback: "Gasoline, Gu Chao, you are crazy."

Cao Xuan took out a lighter and pressed his finger on the switch: "I'll count to three, you know the consequences, and you can't get rid of it if I die."

"one."

"You are so crazy, I don't care if you die or not, if you have the guts, just light it up, at worst, I'll hide outside."

"two."

"Brother Chao, if it's really not working, can I still do half of it? My child is sick, and the family can't open the pot. My child is sick and has no money to go to the hospital."

"Three~"

"I'll give it, can't I give it?"

The fat boss finally confessed, and the lighter that Cao Xuan slightly pressed in his hand returned to its original state.

"pass."

Chen Kexin, who was sitting on the monitor, yelled, and Huang Bo who was next to him greeted first: "Hurry up and bring the water."

The staff rushed over to bring a bottle of mineral water, Cao Xuan took it, spit out water to rinse his mouth, then swallowed slowly, and complained.

"This wine is really strong."

In the plot of the movie, the two bottles just now are gasoline, but in fact, they are dyed, and they are white wine that looks like gasoline.

At first, it was water, but Cao Xuan tried it twice, but he couldn't stimulate the pain caused by drinking gasoline as quickly as possible.

The quick feedback given by the physiological instinct can be performed by acting, but it is not so vivid.

So Cao Xuan thought about it for a while, and replaced it with spirits, and drank a few gulps. The physical stimulation and acting skills produced were similar to real gasoline.

After relieving his physical discomfort with water, Cao Xuan put on his military overcoat and ran to the monitor to watch the replay.

"How about this time?"

"It's very good, it's done in one go, the feeling of wanting to go all out came out, and the tension is very strong."

Chen Kexin, who was wearing glasses, reviewed the tape for him, and the two discussed based on the plot just now.

After the crew of "When a Man is in Love" started, Cao Xuan's performance at the beginning was not good. It's not that his acting skills were poor, but that he was familiar with TV dramas and was not used to acting in movies.

Movie shooting is much more difficult than TV dramas. It requires actors to use their performances to give the audience as much information as possible within limited time and shots.

The same thing, TV dramas have enough time to explain clearly, 10 minutes is not enough for half an episode, and half an episode is not enough for one episode, so it is always clear.

Movies don’t have that much time. According to the development of the storyline, something may only give you 2 minutes or even less time. If you can’t explain it clearly, the following plot may cause a lack.

This requires actors' performances, on-site director scheduling, post-editing, and even audience understanding. Everyone works together to complete this clip.

Cao Xuan, who had never been exposed to film performances before, took more than half a week to slowly adjust, and he was even more fortunate to have found Chen Kexin.

This director Chen's character is put aside for now, but the director's level is not a problem.

At present, in the mainland film industry, except for the three famous directors Zhang, Chen, and Feng, the vast majority of directors are playing literary films, and even those three famous directors are not purely commercial.

Under such circumstances, director Xiangjiang's commercial film thinking has some advantages over mainland directors in the film market environment.

If you are looking for a director with a background in literary films, he will explore the depths behind the scenes of each character or the human nature and environment. The finished product may not be badly shot, but the tone of the film is different.

Chen Kexin can understand Cao Xuan's consideration of this movie, and can make the most of Cao Xuan's request, and check for Cao Xuan's gaps and correct the problems he doesn't understand.

For this alone, Cao Xuan felt that the 200 million director's fee was not wasted, not to mention, it was easier to get into theaters with the name of director Xiangjiang.

In the current mainland film market, apart from the three famous directors mentioned above, most of the mainland directors are not popular.

Because their films have no box office and theaters earn less, they pay more attention to directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially directors from Hong Kong, because their films have more box office.

From 2001 to 2010, more than half of the top ten mainland movie box office rankings each year were directed by Xiangjiang.

Although the overall performance is not as conspicuous as the three famous directors, but it can't stand up to a large base. The Hong Kong circle has no other limelight in the film industry, and these Xiangjiang directors are also one of the reasons.

At this stage, the directors of Xiangjiang haven't gone north collectively, but the reputation of Hong Kong films is well-known, and various theaters recognize it.

Although the fame of Cao Xuan and Hu Jing is enough to knock on the door of the theater, there is Chen Kexin who is even more divided.

At the beginning, Cao Xuan approached him for this part of the reason, but now it seems that compared with the addition of theaters, Chen Kexin's personal director level is more helpful to the movie "When Men Are in Love".

The two discussed the scene just now, and then made up two camera shots, and then started filming the next scene.

After receiving the money, Cao Xuan left a wad of money to treat the fat boss's son.

This does not explain the truth of the fat boss's words, but just to show that the hero [Gu Chao] has a bottom line in doing things and is kind-hearted.

Including the previous debt request, Cao Xuan mainly used intimidation, and his trump card was to hurt himself. When he received the money, he would keep some of it when he saw that the client was in trouble.

It is a profession to ask for debts, and it is human nature to keep money.

This is the characterization for the hero, a good guy who is in a gray area but has a bottom line.

In addition to the above-mentioned clips, there are several other clips that show the male protagonist's debt-seeking methods from the front or side.

Follow-up family background and other demographics will also outline a rich image of the heroine in the hearts of the heroine and the audience bit by bit.

He was mischievous since he was a child, didn't like to study, dropped out of school early, but couldn't find any serious work, was deceived, and went astray, but his character didn't allow him to hurt others, so he found another way to do a [self-mutilation] debt collection method, vicious and domineering Beneath the exterior is a warm and kind heart.

This is not only for plot considerations, but also for audience perception and review.

There's no way, if he's really a gangster who has done all the bad things, even if the prodigal son turns back, the hero himself is not that pleasing, and the taste of this romance movie should be discounted.

It doesn't matter if it's a literary film, you can even design more intense conflicts and plots.

However, for commercial films, it is necessary to consider the perception of the public, and the image design of the male and female protagonists must be reserved. The scale is too large, and many people may not be able to accept it.

.........

After filming the scene, Hong Jiantao finished filming, Cao Xuan personally sent flowers, and everyone took a group photo together.

This time, he happened to be filming in a neighboring city. He planned to return to Beijing after filming. He heard that Jiang Chao was here, so he stopped by to visit the set, but Cao Xuan tricked him into playing a cameo role.

Kneeling and crying, and being punched a few times, and a dime was confiscated, Cao Xuan still felt grateful.

"This movie is not bad, Jiang'er, play it well, if you are caught by that person, your chance to succeed will come."

Before leaving, Hong Jiantao called his colleague and brother Jiang Chao to give some advice.

The two dramas "Love Through Time and Space" and "The Unruly Princess" made Hong Jiantao Xiaohong once, and also made him realize the strength of Fanxing. This time, seeing Jiang Chao has the opportunity, he naturally wants to mention more.

"Don't worry, Brother Hong, I will work hard."

Jiang Chao is not stupid. He knows that opportunities are rare. Although he is not very good at flattering and socializing, he understands that he must first play the role well.

Only by presenting the character perfectly can he have a chance to be favored by Cao Xuan. On the contrary, he is not handsome or beautiful, and he has nothing extraordinary, so what can he use to impress Cao Xuan.

And Jiang Chao's route was right. Cao Xuan saw his hard work in the group these days.

Although his follower [Big Fatty] is mostly the background board, he will be meticulous in every move and shoot repeatedly. Even if he is not caught by the camera, he will not relax and go all out.

Although it is not eye-catching, Cao Xuan's down-to-earth attitude has accumulated a little favor for him.

Don't underestimate this goodwill. In the future, Fanxing and even Guolan will participate in the production and investment of film and television, which may add up to more than a dozen films each year.

Cao Xuan said a word, Jiang Chao has no shortage of film appointments.

It's hard to say that the leading role is hard to say, but the supporting roles can be supported. After accumulating one work after another, the reputation will not be weaker than some second-tier stars.

Jiang Chao understands this truth, and Huang Bo understands it better, and he is good at communication, and the role of [Curly Hair] is also very brilliant.

At least these days, Huang Bo's crew is very popular, and Cao Xuan even recognizes him from his hometown. He opens his mouth and shuts up as "Bo'er" or "Huang Boer" with an island accent, and he can be called a man of the crew.

Even Liu Denghui chatted with Huang Bo in private, thinking that no matter how hard he worked, he might be signed by Cao Xuan to Fanxing. At that time, his title of Nortel Bole was really stable...
