I really can't act

Chapter 496 I Come From the Future (Big Chapter)

The plot of the film to be shot is not complicated:
Wu Qianli, a college student, travels to South Korea. He goes north all the way and gradually arrives at a city called Cheorwon on the border between North Korea and South Korea.Due to historical reasons, this place was divided into two parts: the Korean occupation and the Korean occupation. The fighting was quite fierce, and many martyrs' gardens were left behind.

According to the historical data of China, North Korea, and the United Nations Army, the Chinese army is the only army that has never committed any crimes in North Korea or South Korea, and its discipline is excellent.Therefore, this small martyr's garden has been funded and maintained by the South Korean government, and the remains of the martyrs have been properly placed.

However, it is a foreign country after all, and it is impossible for Koreans to come to pay homage to "outsiders", so the martyrs' garden is relatively deserted.After Wu Qianli heard about it, he bought a bouquet of flowers in this situation and planned to visit the grave alone.After presenting the flowers solemnly, he stared at the names of the martyrs recorded on the tombstone, each of whom recited silently in his heart.

He found his name.

This is a cenotaph, marked as missing, no bones were found.The Koreans counted after the war and thought that they must have died somewhere in the mud somewhere in Cheorwon, or they were burned by incendiary bombs and evaporated... In short, they were given the same treatment as "sacrifice" and buried with his comrades in arms.

In 2013, Wu Qianli stared blankly at the tombstone with the same name as himself, feeling a sense of familiarity and fatigue.He couldn't help sitting there taking a nap, and soon after he opened his eyes, he was already in the forest and mountains, and the names on the tombstone just now appeared in front of him one by one.

Mei Sheng, Yu Congrong, Lei Gong...and Tan Ziwei.He was in the marching team, the camera zoomed out, tens of thousands of people entered North Korea quietly in the dark, and he came to 1950.

——The story is simple, but hard work has to be done elsewhere.Directors often have a so-called royal team during the creation period. Fang Yi's royal team is Jin Dong, Bai Yu and others, so these two people pre-booked roles, playing the role of Mei Sheng, an English-speaking instructor, and Ping He, a sniper.

Knowing English, this can be regarded as satisfying Jin Dong's desire for expression.

Fang Yi asked other people in the Republican era: "Apart from the aforementioned, do you have any recommended candidates for the role? Our show is quite famous now, and I have received a lot of people asking about it. You must also have... Don't be afraid , recommend it.”

Guo Fan asked him, "Aren't there any auditions this time?"

Fang Yi shook his head: "The audition is too late, we don't want young actors, we want professional actors who can stand the test, preferably those who have worked with them before."

Lu Yang, who was filming "Embroidered Spring Knife", also took time to attend the meeting. He is Fang Yi's fanboy, and he knows Fang Yi's acting career well.

"for example?"

"Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Chen Jianbin...what else, it can't be director Feng Dapao."

Fang Yi thought about the few mentioned by Lu Yang in his mind—he was indeed a good actor.As long as there is a schedule, there must be nothing wrong with finding it.

Zhang Yi played the role of the leader of the firepower platoon, and let him be an official this time.Duan Yihong talked about Tan Ziwei——Tan Ziwei, Fang Yi thought of the man on the hospital bed, and his twisted character was really similar to the old Daoist Duan.

Duan Yihong is suitable to play such a person.

He asked again: "There are still some roles left. They may not appear many times, but they are still well-known, and they need reliable people to play them. Do you have any recommendations?"

Guo Fan said: "Now all our actors are from Central Opera. I think it's better to find them all directly. This is also a topic... There is no audition, and you have to find actors who can act. Now your main actors are It’s all about central dramas, so let’s just do it to the end.”

Fang Yi looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said: "I also support Guo Fan's idea, but my starting point is different. This drama is a man's drama, a war drama, and brotherhood is very important. But objectively, we don't have much time for the actors to cultivate their relationship every day, so we directly find colleagues It is best to graduate from the same school, as there is a friendship between teachers and teachers, and it will not be embarrassing when you meet."

Guo Fan patted his thigh: "Yes! That's what you said."

The two of you talked to each other and convinced Fang Yi.He originally thought that he should find some school from another school, so as not to cause some trouble and make the circle speculate that Fang Yi is nepotism.Now he doesn't care anymore, after all, making a good movie is the most important thing.

In the Republican era, this film company could not pay attention to political correctness.

He spent about ten seconds thinking about it, drawing circles in his notebook, and finally wrote: "Let's make it so, all the central dramas are all the central dramas."

He also said: "For a war film of this level, except for Wu Qianli, the core actor, the other actors are not irreplaceable. What really matters is the production team, and our production team involves both sides of the strait and three places. of."

Then, in a few words, other actors were settled: Li Xuejian, Chen Jianbin, Hu Jun...etc.Whoever has a schedule can get on, plug and play.

There are several lines in this story, and the audience must get the result after watching the movie.For example, how the protagonist finally reunites with his comrades in arms has been conceived before; the other is the protagonist’s mental journey, how he, a modern person, adapted to life in war, took up his guns to defend his home and country, and fought until the last moment. In the end, he returned to modern times by mistake, and had to join the People's Liberation Army again.

"I found a problem. We need a wedge, and there are credible reasons to show the transformation of the characters. Wu Qianli is not a gangster, he has a conscience and justice, but he will also be frightened by the cruel war. Although he will not be a deserter , but he may not be the bravest person, especially since he already knew that the war was won, and as an individual, whether he works hard or not will not affect the result..." Lu Yang said. "But he must be a brave man, so who made him a hero?"

Guo Fan started from the perspective of a commercial film: "Love?"

"The style of the film has changed. I'm not saying that love is bad, but we don't have much time to shape the love line." Lu Yang said.

Guo Fan: "So, unfulfilled love?"

Lu Yang was stunned, unable to judge, he looked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi said: "There is no love line, life and death are at stake, how can you talk about love leisurely, even if you do, don't talk about it. We don't need to shoot like this. The friendship in battle is great enough, and this is also in line with historical data."

But, Fang Yi said: "We really need a female character, otherwise the movie will be too hard. And if there is no female character, it may affect the movie's box office, because female audiences tend not to watch men's movies."

Guo Fan continued: "How about female comrades in arms? Female comrades in arms are also comrades in arms, and they are also comrades in arms. They are in line with historical data and artistic."

In fact, this kind of conflict is easy to solve. All three of them thought of one thing: adding a nurse role.

On the battlefield, nurses are not always in the rear, as most works of art are.In fact, due to the harsh combat conditions of the Volunteers in the early days of the Korean War, nurses often had to carry a hail of bullets and risk their lives to pull back injured comrades, or even bandage them on the spot.

The 1956 movie "Shangganling" is a wonderful war film. The whole film describes that the Eighth Company of the Volunteer Army fought bloody battles with the U.S. Army in the tunnel, facing the danger of water and food shortages. The soldiers finally persisted for a full 24 days. A major counterattack by the North Korean coalition forces.

So what is the most famous part of this film?

Is it the fierce battle, or the generosity of the soldiers... It doesn't matter.The most brilliant part of the movie is the intermission period of the enemy's attack. In a quiet time, Wang Lan, the health worker in the tunnel, sang a song to boost morale:
"A great river with wide waves
The wind blows the scent of rice and flowers on both sides

My family lives on the shore

......"

When a story is cruel, tenderness is haunting, and when it is tender, cruelty achieves the same status.

Nurse, must have a nurse role.Not too pretty, central drama, girl next door style.

Fang Yi thought of someone, so he took out his phone and sent a text message.

Other things were discussed at the meeting. For example, this kind of large-scale war scene requires an experienced blasting prop group. The real guy came. It is a "hot explosion" instead of a "cold explosion", which is currently lacking in the Republic era. It may be necessary to introduce foreign aid.

The people who are good at blasting scenes in China are mainly concentrated in Hong Kong and some old people in the original studio. Fang Yi needs to contact these people as soon as possible.

In addition, all actors must undergo a certain degree of military training. They are not required to become sharpshooters, but they must at least show some kind of discipline.

The various tactical actions in the film must conform to the historical facts as much as possible, and if necessary, even ask the organization to find active soldiers to act as substitutes. Fang Yi wants to restore the "three-three system" of the People's Liberation Army infantry squad assault tactics in the film.

This is an infantry squad assault tactic that originated during the War of Resistance Against Japan, matured in the War of Liberation, and was widely used in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.The core idea is to properly disperse the density of troops to avoid the enemy's intensive firepower, emphasizing close coordination, advancing layer by layer, and alternately covering attacks.

The Korean War is a bonanza for literary and artistic creation, but no matter whether it is North Korea, South Korea, or American films, without exception, the subtle assault tactics of the Volunteers are described as "human sea tactics". Instead, it was distorted into the "pig rush" tactic used by the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War. This is a barbaric, inhumane, and backward tactic, and the intention behind it is quite sinister.

During World War I, the application of the Maxim machine gun caused 6 British casualties within one day, and since then it has declared the disappearance of the "pig burst" tactic, not to mention the United Nations army with a large number of heavy equipment.Obviously, the volunteers in their movies do not conform to historical facts, or even basic IQ.

For example, in the movie "Highland Warfare" released in South Korea last year, volunteers crowded shoulder to shoulder, as if gathering in a square to watch the Spring Festival Gala.In the narrow valley, tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers squeezed in...

No, that's not how we beat you back then.Therefore, the exchange ratio of casualties is less than one to one.

Outsiders can't stop them from doing this for a certain purpose, but their own people shouldn't be so stupid.

——All these require the overall planning and scheduling of Director Fang, and Director Fang himself has a series of other plans.For example, with a height of 187cm and a weight of 78kg, he needs to lose weight to less than 60kg within two or three months, from a muscular boy to skinny.

why?

Li Xuejian once played the role of Commander Feng Shi in "Born Out of the Sky". The film describes the history of New China's atomic bomb test in Lop Nor. ..." And Li Xuejian was more mellow than his rival actor at that time, which made him regret it very much afterwards, thinking that it was the only thing he regretted in his career as an actor.

So, in extreme cases, you don't have to eat fried rice, but how can a warrior who can only eat snow still be a muscular man?Others don't have to force it. Fang Yi is a core actor and has to lose weight.And once he loses weight, he will have a great impact on the audience outside the screen.

It is definitely a wonderful performance that can sweep several major awards in the mainland.

Fang Yi pressed his brows, the pressure was indeed much greater than that of "Zodiac".

"The movie is called "I Come From the Future"? Are you sure you don't want to change it, such as "Changjin Lake" or "Ironwon"?" Guo Fan asked suddenly.

Fang Yi: "That's the nomenclature of the series."

Guo Fan: "Our movie may be quite large, equivalent to two movies. Didn't the director Wu Baige want to make a Chinese version of "Titanic"? He said it would be like "Red Cliff", divided into two parts department."

"I'm not old enough to make movies like that."

------

Two weeks later, Song Yi, who was rehearsing a drama, received a task from the school, asking her to be the host of the new Central Opera Alumni Dubbing Exhibition.

The alumni dubbing exhibition of Central Opera is broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV every time, and it is now a well-known professional program in the industry.The moderator is a sought-after position, which has always been held by exceptionally good (with background) students.

This exhibition is different from the past, it is said that alumni will participate in the same film shooting, and come to show their hands to the graduating students before filming.The film may be the most invested war film in the mainland in recent years. The five companies including Republic Times, China Film, Yinghuang, Ah Li Culture, and Souhu Film and Television have invested a total of nearly 4 million yuan. It is bound to establish a new century. Super benchmark.

Therefore, this exhibition can be regarded as an early preview of the main film creators, and its significance has far exceeded that of a school performance. It has been favored by many mainstream media, and more journalists apply for interviews than alumni who watch the exhibition.

French director Luc Besson, who visited and visited the Central Opera recently, is also very interested in it.At his request, Central Opera temporarily arranged a forward-looking symposium between him and director Fang Yi.

Song Yi knew why she was able to be the host, because she played the role of "Nurse Wang" in the play, and because she was Fang Yi's classmate.

But it could also be that Fang Yi sent a message asking for this?
Who knows?

Who else in the central drama can not look at his face now.

Song Yi got the manuscript and the list of dubbing programs in advance, and spent the afternoon practicing stringing words.As a professional actor, she also worked part-time as a host before, and she was familiar with such things, but now she is a little bit lazy, and sometimes falls into deep thought, and she blushes when she thinks about it:

"Why did you let me play the female role?"

　The weight refers to Henry Cavill, also known as Super.When he was in good shape, his weight was 82kg and his height was 185cm, but his body fat was relatively high, which is "not dry enough" in the jargon.So Fang Yi, an Asian, took a little less weight here.
