Chapter 59 Change the drama, modeling and drama

Zhejiang Province, Hengdian Film and Television City
This place that is destined to leave a name in the history of Chinese film and television has not fully reached the point of thriving in the mainland film and television city at this time, but its overall strength can also be firmly ranked in the top three.

Especially after Director Chen Da's filming of "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", the palace of the Qin Dynasty built during the filming of "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" was settled down, which made Hengdian take the limelight.

Later, "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" failed miserably at the box office, and the filmmaker lost money to his grandmother's house, but Hengdian was very profitable every year because of the Qin Palace, and the peak value even received hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

So much so that Director Chen became smart later, and as long as he made a movie, he even built a film and television city.

If the box office loses, you can still travel, and at worst, you can still drop a piece of land money......

The shooting location of "Little Li Flying Knife" is also in Hengdian. The main scene is in Dazhi Temple, and a small part is in other Hengdian scenic spots.

Cao Xuan came to Hengdian on September 9, and was warmly welcomed by the directors and producers as soon as he entered the group.

In particular, the producer wanted to send someone to follow Cao Xuan, for fear that he would run away.

When the crew of "Little Li Feidao" invited Cao Xuan, it was not long before Cao Xuan's album became popular, and he just became a first-line singer.

At that time, the crew felt that Cao Xuan might not agree to the invitation, but just had the attitude of giving it a try, but Cao Xuan really agreed.

At that time, although several senior members of the crew were happy, they were not too excited.

After all, Cao Xuan is just a newcomer in film and television, and the starring Jiao Enjun, Xiao Qiang and Jia Jingwen of "Little Li Feidao" are not unknown.

Even the second male Wu Jing, relying on "The Master of Tai Chi" and "The Legend of the Water Margin" is quite popular in the mainland.

Until the sales of "Fantastic Stars" continued to increase, Cao Xuan became more and more famous, and finally had a peak duel with Ren Xianqi in September, which caused a certain sensation on both sides of the strait.

Only now did the crew of "Little Li Flying Knife" know that they actually picked up a gold ingot.

The producer was afraid that Cao Xuan would change his mind and stop acting, but Cao Xuan had no such idea. If he really did this, he would have a bad reputation, and who would look for him to film in the future.

According to the contract, Cao Xuan came to the crew on time to play the supporting role of Jing Wuming.

But how could the crew of "Little Li Flying Knife" treat Cao Xuan as a popular actor with the treatment of ordinary supporting actors.

On the first day of Cao Xuan's arrival in the group, the director and screenwriter came to the door and expressed that they wanted to give him more drama.

"Little Li Fei Dao" has three directors, Yuan Baye, Lu Xiaowei, Li Hantao, and two screenwriters, Chen Wengui and Zhu Yu.

It is not necessary to say more about Yuan Ba ​​Ye, Lu Xiaowei is the one who made the magical drama "Desire", and he is also a famous director.

Li Hantao is a junior, and he has not been a director for a long time. He has not had any works that he can do well for the time being, but it has developed well since then. Although he has not made any hits, he has never been short of scenes.

Screenwriter Chen Wengui's representative work is the 93 edition of "Bao Qingtian". If nothing else, he will be invited by Zhang Guoli to join the screenwriting team of "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" next year.

Zhu Yu is a martial arts novelist in Taiwan Province. He used to ghostwrite for Wolong. He has few screenwriting works, mainly helping the script to control the martial arts elements.

Of the five directors and screenwriters, Yuan Baye and Lu Xiaowei are the ones who can really make up their minds.

Chen Wengui was barely able to speak, the remaining two were tool people, and Zhu Yu was not even in the crew.

This time, Yuan Ba ​​Ye personally went out and talked to Cao Xuan about adding drama.

Not only do I want to win over and appease Cao Xuan, so that he doesn't like the supporting roles and does not do well in filming, but also wants to take advantage of Cao Xuan's current super popularity to feed back to the TV series.

For an actor, adding more exposure to the show is a good thing, and Cao Xuan will naturally not refuse, but there are two key problems in this matter.

First, Cao Xuan's schedule is tight. He only stayed for a month to shoot "Little Li Feidao", and he couldn't finish it if he added more.

Second, Cao Xuan felt that the meaningless addition of drama actually did more harm than good to the character. He saw a lot of appearances, but to a certain extent, it consumed the audience's expectations for the character.

So Cao Xuan means that it is better to change the drama than to add drama.

Before, he had some criticisms about Jing Wuming's scene in "Little Li Feidao".

Many of the highlights about this character in the original book have not been preserved. From a characteristic villain to an ordinary supporting role, the shining point is not as good as Shangguan Jinhong's son, at least they have reduced the number of members of the protagonist group.

When receiving the play before, Cao Xuan asked the screenwriter, hoping that the setting of Jing Wuming in the play would be closer to the original.

The screenwriter did make changes, but overall it's still far from the original.I don't know if it's because of the level, or because he didn't take Cao Xuan's request to heart at all.

But no matter what, Cao Xuan mentioned this for the second time now. If the screenwriter is still so fooled, he can't justify it.

If it really doesn't work, Cao Xuan will change it himself.

He has read Gu Long's original work several times at home, and has written thousands of words about Jing Wuming's biography. He is confident to incorporate the original version of Jing Wuming into the script of "Little Li Feidao".

Even, he has written a general outline, which is specially used for reference by Yuan Ba ​​Ye and screenwriter Chen Wengui.

Yuan Baye and Chen Wengui chatted with Cao Xuan, then turned around and held a small meeting with other directors and producers.

It is found that Cao Xuan's idea has little effect on the overall plot deployment, but the role and motivation of Jing Wuming have been changed, and it seems to be not bad.

In order to keep Cao Xuan as a fragrant pastry, the crew of "Little Li Feidao" finally agreed to Cao Xuan's request to change the play after discussion.

Chen Wengui and his assistant were working overtime urgently, and Cao Xuan also had the cheek to join the small team to change the play. While brainstorming with Chen Wengui, he stole the skills of writing the script from the teacher.

Yiduo doesn't push himself, there are so many good stories and scripts in his mind, it's a pity not to copy them out...

The team worked hard for three days and found three directors with the revised script, and they were recognized.

Cao Xuan hides his merits and fame, and turns his head to discuss Jing Wuming's image and clothing with the stylist.

To be honest, although there are many high-quality products in the design of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television, there are also many amazing things, especially the ancient costume TV series as the hardest hit area.

The same is true of "Little Li Flying Knife".

Li Xunhuan's instant noodle head, that is, Jiao Enjun, can hold it up, and it will be abolished if it is replaced by ordinary people.

There is also Yu Feihong's Fairy Jinghong, whose shape must have lowered the appearance of the main character. Jia Jingwen and Xiao Qiang are barely okay, and they are considered medium-sized.

However, a good makeup stylist should combine actors and roles, and then magnify the charm. It all depends on the actor's own face, so why should they do it?

Cao Xuan looked at Jing Wuming's outfit, and he liked the color scheme, with clear black and white, but he just didn't understand why he had to put a few belts in the middle, making it look like a sexy outfit.

Cao Xuan wanted to remove the belt. It was a white bottom coat with black leather corsets on the outside. Other clothes were mainly black and white, which was cold and airy.

In terms of hairstyle, Cao Xuan tried several sets one by one, and finally chose the most normal hairstyle, with a faint strand of white hair mixed in it.

Cao Xuan also added a gray contact lens to himself.

In Gu Long's original book, Jing Wuming's eyes are dead gray, claiming to have neither emotion nor life.

Cao Xuan feels that this setting is a point that can catch the audience. In the age when beauty contact lenses are not yet popular, such eyes are impressive.

After the revision, Jing Wuming's overall shape is not outstanding, but Cao Xuan personally thinks it is much better than before.

After all, he is not a professional stylist. He does his best, judges from the eyes of ordinary audiences, and does not engage in those bells and whistles. The most important thing is to be pleasing to the eye and handsome.

Changing the play + changing the style, Cao Xuan stopped when he met his needs.

"Little Li Feidao" is not without saying that he has a lot of things, but who makes Cao Xuan famous now.

What's more, he is still "condescending" to play a supporting role. In terms of coffee position, Cao Xuan is now No. 1 in the crew. If the crew wants to keep people, it is inevitable to coax more.

But even so, "Little Li Flying Knife" gradually has rumors that Cao Xuan is a "drama tyrant"......
