The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 509 Luo Ji, the protagonist with the strongest character design
"I think it works!"

Wan Qian walked to the opposite side of the commander-in-chief's desk, propped her hands on the desk and leaned forward, staring directly into the eyes of the opponent actor with scorching eyes.

"Now things are as clear as one plus one equals two!"

"stop!"

Director Wen Zhian held the guide tube, shook his head slightly, and looked at the actors on stage: "It still doesn't feel right."

Wan Qian took a deep breath, her expression slightly depressed.

Facing the rare and irritable director, Zhu Yilong glanced at Chen Jingxing who was standing aside, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart

This scene has been filmed many times, but it never happened.

But this is a normal phenomenon in the crew of "Once Upon a Time on Earth".

Although Zhu Yilong became popular through the Dangai drama "Soul Soul", it is not that he has never made a movie.

Of course, it is either a digital movie that does not go to theaters and is only broadcast on the movie channel, or it is a small movie that has a box office of one million yuan, or even a horror movie. Although it is on the theaters, domestic horror movies basically It's all the end of the street.

However, "Once Upon a Time on Earth" is indeed different from all the films he has filmed before. It is really a blockbuster-level shooting standard. A 12-episode script has been polished for four months.

Director Wen Zhi'an is a newcomer director, and DreamWorks didn't even have any objections to such a grind and delay in the construction period.

It can only be said that he has indeed gained a lot of knowledge during the filming process in the past few months.

But Zhu Yilong doesn't have any resistance now, although sometimes the director's faultfinding and tossing can be unbearable, but after a while, he will feel admiration for the director.

It also creates a sense of security.

Although Zhu Yilong has acted in dramas for nearly ten years, most of them are bad dramas, but which actor does not want to act in a good movie?
The shooting is so difficult and the standard is so high, the resulting work will be more reassuring.

For ng, the protagonists have long been used to it.

But today is indeed a little different. As the producer, Chen Jingxing followed up the whole process of the last big scene that just started filming.

With Chen Jingxing standing on the side all the time, it was as if the class teacher was standing at the door and staring at the class.

Not only the actors were nervous, even the director Wen Zhian was also a little nervous.

Most of the actors present had never worked with Chen Jingxing before, so it was impossible for such a level of international leadership to make people feel pressured.

Although Chen Jingxing is the producer, he has been following closely, but mainly to follow up the progress of the shooting, such as contacting the military to coordinate the helicopter, check some important props and visual effects design, and look at the shooting materials.

It is still very rare to be on the shooting scene throughout the whole process.

Even Wan Qian who had worked with Chen Jingxing was a little Alexander.

In addition, it is even more frustrating to be stopped by the director again and again.

Although Wan Qian is also known as Miss Chen and is the "old man" of DreamWorks, both "Source Code" and "The Ninth District" are rimmed heroines.

Other movies I made, such as Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Knife II" are also borderline heroines.

The only real leading heroine that fully demonstrates her acting skills is adapted from a drama "Hello, Madman!" "The box office was dismal, and the box office was even less than 1500 million.

Great blow to her commercial value.

"Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" is her life-saving straw, and who wouldn't want to shine like Yan Xiaoyue in a world-renowned blockbuster?
It would be too sad if Director Chen thinks that he has a problem with his acting skills.

Chen Jingxing shook his head. It seems that the director Wen Zhian is still a little inexperienced. Wen Zhian realized that there were some problems with Wan Qian's performance, and his strength was not enough, but he couldn't find a specific language to inspire the actors.

He clapped his hands, stepped forward and stared at Wan Qian, who was adjusting and brewing emotions between shots, and said, "Did you forget my description of Lin Yun's character during the script reading?

Lin Yun is eager to use macroelectronic weapons. There is an emotion missing in your performance, that is excitement. "

Not only Wan Qian was a little surprised, Zhu Yilong couldn't help complaining: "Then isn't she a lunatic?"

Chen Jingxing crossed his hands and asked back: "Who said Lin Yun is not crazy?

Lin Yun has a morbid obsession with and dependence on weapons research. She does whatever means to achieve her goals and ignores worldly moral values. This is not inconsistent with her sympathy for the hostages and her reverence for life.

Sympathy, worry, but excitement!
That's the beauty of this character.

Although you played more roles in Luo Ji than Lin Yun, I said at the script reading meeting that this drama is the leading heroine, which is naturally reasonable. "

Director Wen Zhian also suddenly realized: "That's right, it's excitement. Mr. Wan, your eyes and expression are only anxious, worried and determined, but you lack excitement. I haven't found the reason why this scene is wrong..."

After Chen Jingxing finished speaking about the scene, the filming became much smoother.

To be honest, Wen Zhian has a lot of deficiencies. There are some problems in his ability to express and summarize, and he is not very good at telling dramas. If he is replaced by a more experienced director, his shooting progress can really improve a lot.

But he still has irreplaceable advantages.

The lens language and art style are unique.

The story of "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" is a bit scary.

The hero Luo Ji's search for the truth about how his parents were killed is a main line that promotes the progress of the plot.

Luo Ji's parents were the leaders of the ETO Salvation Faction, but were killed by Evans of the Advent Faction with ball lightning, and then seized power and took control of the entire ETO.

When his parents were killed, Luo Ji was still a child, but he saw a strange light and heard a strange voice through the crack of the door.

However, what he saw when he went out were his parents who had mysteriously disappeared, and the yellow irises that had mysteriously disappeared in a vase in the living room.

Afterwards, the shadows of his parents, ghost-like figures and his past often appeared in Luo Ji's dreams and reality.

Even when he came home, he could often see a yellow iris in a vase, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Luo Ji's parents turned into quantum ghosts in fact, which has nothing to do with ghosts.

But the parents, the flowers, and what happened the night the parents disappeared have always been the male protagonist Luo Ji's lingering nightmares, the hallucinations, dreams and mental illnesses that have been haunting and tormenting him.

In the setting of the script, this is the reason why the hero Luo Ji is sensitive, introverted and seems to suffer from some kind of mental illness.

At the same time, Luo Ji discovers the identity of his parents and digs out the cause of their death. Like these blurred images, they become the main line of the whole play and become the keynote of the story.

That is to be blurred, scary, weird, and even have a Cthulhu atmosphere.

There is a certain otherworldly undercurrent in the calm.

Similar to the tone of the previous plane "Annihilation" or "Arrival".

And Wen Zhian's talent is very good at this minimalist lens and scene, and the weird aesthetic style.

Especially the calm and ethereal, but empty shots that seem to contain an abyss.

Wen Zhian is fully reflected in the last "Prometheus" unit of "Black Mirror II", which was adapted from the previous sci-fi movie "Ex Machina".

The story of letting a robot pretend to be innocent and kill humans to escape imprisonment has a somewhat weird and even religious taste.

The filming of "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" couldn't be more appropriate.

This is also the reason why Chen Jingxing tried his best to hand over the project to Wen Zhian, a new director.

Judging from the films that have been shot, Wen Zhian has made good use of his advantages, and the excellent language of the camera even exceeds Chen Jingxing's expectations.

After one day of filming, Chen Jingxing also invited the main creators to dinner.

Today's scene is considered the most difficult, and after another three or four days of filming, the whole drama can be completed.

So most people, including director Wen Zhian, felt a little relieved.

On the one hand, Wan Qian spent a lot of emotion in filming, and on the other hand, this was the last scene she filmed for the project "To the Earth", so she was a little depressed.

"Once Upon a Time on Earth" is a series of film and television dramas, even known as a sci-fi universe, just like "The Walking Dead" and "The Wandering Earth". Everyone knows this.

Although the horoscope has not yet been written, the actors are more confident in it.

After all, it is said that after the broadcast of "Prelude", the movie "Once Upon a Time on Earth" will follow, and the movie will be directed by Chen Jingxing himself.

Has director Chen Da failed in the films he has directed so far?
Although the heroine Lin Yun played by Wan Qian is the most dazzling character in "Prelude", she is also a character who is sure to receive a box lunch in the play.

There will definitely be no chance in the follow-up projects of "Once Upon a Time on Earth".

Chen Jingxing's films have always been sci-fi works, not fairy tales or fantasy. It is unlikely that the protagonist who died in the previous film will be resurrected in the follow-up.

Wan Qian was full of disappointment amidst excitement.

I can only hope that after the episode airs, her role will make the audience like it.

Although Zhu Yilong's hero Luo Ji didn't have any outstanding performance in the play, he was a little sensitive, introverted and even cowardly, and was suppressed by Wan Qian's Lin Yun all the way, and he was not even as bright as Ding Yi.

But he can still participate in Chen Jingxing's next movie, and it is even said that he is the most important protagonist in the entire series of "Once Upon a Time on Earth".

It can only be said that blessings come later.

Of course, at this time, Zhu Yilong still doesn't know his highlight plot in the subsequent script - the script of the movie has not been handed over to the actors. After all, apart from Zhu Yilong's logic and Ding Yi, other roles have not been decided yet.

On the contrary, he was a little envious of the heroine Lin Yun's highlight role, and used it to comfort Wan Qian.

However, Chen Jingxing didn't give any spoilers in advance.

The role of Luo Ji played by Zhu Yilong is almost a fusion of the male protagonist of "Ball Flash", Wang Miao and Luo Ji of "Three-Body Problem".

After all, film and television dramas pay attention to a sense of substitution, and it is a taboo to change the protagonist every time.

So Luo Ji's characters and stories are also the fullest.

His parents were former ETO executives who were murdered by Evans with ball lightning. In the process of exploring the mystery of his parents' death, Luo Ji revealed the truth about the ball lightning, and finally found the Garden of Eden and ETO, the human trisolaran organization behind it.

Finally, at the end of "Prelude", Luo Ji, who was shocked to know all the truth, was hijacked and kidnapped by Evans of ETO.

Later in the movie, Evans, who was trying to win him over, was brought into the three-body game. As long as Luo Ji can finally clear the level within the specified time, Evans can give up the macro fusion plan.

After experiencing the three-body game and knowing the truth about the three-body man, information was sent out from the kidnapped cruise ship, allowing humans to kill Evans through the Guzheng project.

Later, in the follow-up movies, because he was the key figure against Evans, and he was the human being who knew the three-body people best through the three-body game, he was selected as the wallfacer.

At the same time, because his parents were high-level executives of ETO, Luo Ji was also feared by humans, and many people did not trust him.

Then become a human hero amidst suspicion and mistrust.

The arc of the whole character is quite full.

Moreover, the sensitivity, introversion, cowardice and even neuroticism in "Prelude" can also be compared with the subsequent changes and the ending of becoming a swordsman. It is definitely a very attractive growth character.
