Chapter 434 The Old Artist's Acting Skills
Time came to August.

The preliminary preparations for "Langya Bang" have been completed, and the official launch.

In the first scene of the filming, the 80-year-old teacher Zheng Zhihua was invited to play the role of the empress dowager.

Teacher Zheng Zhihua was born in Dongxi Opera. He has been in the film industry for 60 years and has appeared in many movies and dramas. He is a national first-class actor.

An old artist like this no longer needs to play for money.

If you want to ask her to make a movie, you need a good script and a good crew.

Fang Xing also entrusted many veteran artists of the National Theater to find Mr. Zheng Zhihua to play the Empress Dowager in "Langya Bang".

In "Langya Bang", the "Mei Changsu" played by Fang Xing was originally "Lin Shu".

"Lin Shu"'s biological mother was the younger sister of Emperor Liang.

In terms of kinship, Emperor Liang is actually the uncle of "Lin Shu".

Therefore, the empress dowager played by Zheng Zhihua is actually the great-grandmother of "Lin Shu".

She will appear in the second episode of "Langya Bang". When she appears on the stage, she will be a silver-haired grandmother with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who loves her great-grandchildren.

Since Mr. Zheng Zhihua is 80 years old, he is not suitable for long-term follow-up with the group.

Therefore, Fang Xing prioritized filming her scenes.

Anyway, the whole crew is arranged according to her time.

In the first scene, Fang Xing was ready to shoot the scene where "Lin Shu" enters the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

This scene is very important and will directly establish the love-hate relationship expressed by "Lin Shu".

The plot of this scene is that "Lin Shu" returned to the Daliang Imperial Capital as a talented unicorn.

The Empress Dowager summoned him, and then "Lin Shu" would meet the "Nihuang Princess" who was in love with each other.

It's just that "Lin Shu" is no longer the "Lin Shu" it used to be, it's changed beyond recognition, and no one recognizes it.

This morning.

The crew held the opening ceremony.

Later, Fang woke up and went to the dressing room to chat with teacher Zheng Zhihua.

Zheng Zhihua's costume is almost ready, as long as he changes into the costume of the Empress Dowager, the filming can start.

"Ms. Zheng, did you rest well last night?" Fang woke up and asked first.

"It's pretty good. Actually, I don't need to stay in such a good hotel. We used to shoot outdoor scenes in the mountains and slept in tents." Zheng Zhihua waved his hand, feeling that the hotel the crew arranged for her was too good, even a bit unaccustomed to it.

In the film and television industry, the hotels arranged by the crew for the actors are differentiated by specifications.

From the very beginning, Fang Xing told the assistant director in charge of the actors' accommodation to arrange the best hotel for Zheng Zhihua.

After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Xing started to get down to business: "Teacher, have you read the script?"

When people reach this age, it is normal to have presbyopia, so it is not necessary to read the script in all respects.

Fang Xing had already figured out that if she didn't read the script, she would tell the play on the spot.

For an old artist like Zheng Zhihua, live lectures can also perform well.

Besides, the role of the Empress Dowager is not too many, and there are not many lines.

Although there are not many lines, each line contains a lot of information. It is difficult for an old artist like Zheng Zhihua to perform effectively.

Zheng Zhihua nodded and replied: "I have read it. I can read the script with reading glasses, and my granddaughter has also read the script to me. Director Fang can rest assured."

"Don't, don't, just call me Xiao Fang." Fang Xing dared not accept such a formal title from an old artist.

"It's all trivial matters, we don't stick to trifles." Zheng Zhihua waved his hands very kindly.

"Mr. Zheng, today is the first scene of the filming. Let's get off to a good start, so let's talk a little bit about the scene?" Fang Xing said.

"Speak, I'll listen." Zheng Zhihua nodded.

Fang Xing told Mr. Zheng Zhihua the idea of ​​shooting the first scene of the day.

After the lecture, the costume team came over to change teacher Zheng Zhihua's costume.

Fang Xing went to the palace where the set was set, ready to start filming.

Zhang Yigao, several assistant directors and cameramen have already arranged the camera seats.

After Teacher Zheng Zhihua changed into the Empress Dowager's clothes, she sat behind the table in the palace.

Fang Xing had also finished putting on his makeup and put on his long gown.

When the record was played, Fang Xing took "Fei Liu" and stepped forward to see the Empress Dowager.

When Teacher Zheng Zhihua saw "Mei Changsu" played by Fang Xing, his face beamed with joy, and he stretched out his hand to beckon, calling, "Xiaoshu, come, come to grandma."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people present were slightly surprised.

However, there is much to be said for this title.

Because the character played by Fang Xing now has three identities, the first one is "Lin Shu", but "Lin Shu" had "died" in Meiling 12 years ago.

The second identity is "Mei Changsu", the leader of Jiang Zuo alliance.

The third identity is "Su Zhe", who came to Daliang Imperial Capital under the pseudonym "Su Zhe" for the convenience of doing things.

Therefore, the empress dowager's "Xiaoshu" can also be understood as "Xiaosu".

Fang Xing's face did not show any change of expression, because his current identity is "Mei Changsu", and no one should know that he is "Lin Shu", the Marshal Chi Yan.

However, Fang Xing still showed a touch of emotion in his eyes, and then stepped forward to salute.

Teacher Zheng Zhihua held Fang Xing's hand, and the love in his eyes was overflowing: "Xiao Shu, you've lost weight."

Fang Xing's face was moved again, but he tried his best to cover it up.

Because in the play, the identity of "Lin Shu" cannot be exposed, otherwise there will be a disaster of death.

At this moment.

"Concubine Yue Gui" made fun of it.

The Empress Dowager, played by Zheng Zhihua, didn't go to see "Concubine Yue", picked up a snack and handed it to Fang Xing: "Xiao Shu, eat, this is your favorite."

And this snack is actually "Lin Shu"'s favorite.

After the first shot, Fang Xing was completely overwhelmed by the performance of the old artist in front of him.

For a moment just now, Fang Xing really thought that the grandmother in front of him really loved him, and that kind of love came from his eyes.

Fang Xing was even suppressed by this performance for a moment.

This is the case with soaring dramas. When an actor's acting ability is too strong, it will indeed suppress other actors.

This is also when many traffic stars are acting in TV dramas, the director asks the old drama actors to restrain their acting skills.

Because of the veteran drama talents with strong acting skills, when they are in the show, they will really suppress the traffic stars so that they have no sense of existence.

However, traffic stars basically star in TV dramas.

If the leading actor is suppressed to have no sense of existence, then the show is basically over.

Therefore, many directors will take the initiative to ask powerful actors to accept a little less when playing with traffic stars.

Fang Xing is also a character who has touched the ceiling of musicals, and his acting skills are not bad, but at that moment just now, he was infected by Teacher Zheng Zhihua's performance.

So much so that just before Zhang Yi yelled "Ka", an imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher Zheng is too powerful."

After this one was finished, Fang Xing applauded and praised.

"When I watched your TV series, I thought you were very good. I showed my true skills just now, and you can catch it. It's really comfortable to film like this." Zheng Zhihua was also very happy.

One of the reasons why she was willing to take on "Langya Bang" was because she had watched "Hurricane" and "The Pretender", and thought it would be fun to play against Fang Xing.

An old artist like Zheng Zhihua no longer needs to take on the show for the sake of taking on the show.

If the director of a film crew asked her to restrain her acting skills when performing, then the play would be meaningless.

In the first scene, Zheng Zhihua let go of acting, and released all the things in his mind about the scene to be shown.

Originally, she wasn't sure if Fang Xing would be able to catch it, but after the performance, she was surprised to find that Fang Xing could not only catch it, but also gave her a lot of surprises with his micro-expression towards the scene.

"I'm going to check the monitor, the teacher rests first."

Fang Xing wasn't sure if the shot just now would work, because the last shot was actually touched by teacher Zheng Zhihua, and the emotions shown were more than expected.

Walking to the monitor, Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao watched the replay of the filmed just now.

In the last shot, Fang Xing's eyes did have a gleam of light. This release of emotion was not in the initial plan.

Because in this scene, the protagonist must hide the identity of "Lin Shu", otherwise he will be killed.

Therefore, when meeting the grandma, you can't show the emotions that belong to "Lin Shu".

After Fang Xing watched the replay, he hesitated.

Because after reading this paragraph, the release of the last trace of emotion was not very abrupt.

In this scene, Mr. Zheng Zhihua showed his love, which made people feel the deep affection. At this time, it is reasonable for the protagonist to show a little emotion.

"This emotion was not in my initial thoughts." Fang Xing pointed to the monitor and discussed with Zhang Yigao.

Zhang Yigao had a different opinion and said: "I feel that the emotions here are released, which is very good. The performance is originally performed on the spot. When the emotions are reached, it is right to have emotional feedback."

Fang Xing frowned, and said, "But Mei Changsu has 12 years of revenge to avenge, so he should be tough inside."

Zhang Yigao shook his head: "No matter how tough a person is, he also needs to have a shining point of humanity. I suggest keeping this part of the emotional release."

Fang Xing didn't object, he thought about it and said, "You can keep this one for now. We'll shoot another one, and we'll think about it later when we cut it."

Originally, when shooting a film and television drama, a lot of material will be shot to show the possibility of various performances, and when the final editing is made, we will make a choice.

"Alright." Zhang Yigao agreed.

So, the scene record was played again, and another record was made for the first scene.

Both are perfect, the difference is that Fang Xing releases more emotions in the first one, while the second one behaves calmer, more like a son of revenge.

When editing later, it is not necessary to choose one of them, and it is completely possible to mix the two to achieve the final desired effect.

Since it is the first scene, so after a longer run-in, there may be different sparks.

Therefore, another one was taken.

After the three films were finished, Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao re-watched the three original films and thought they were all good.

If it is the standard of puppet shows, there is no need to shoot the third one, and even the first one will be passed directly.

The reason why Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao wanted to make three shots was because they wanted to keep improving.

After watching the three original films, Fang Xing got up and clapped his hands: "The first scene was shot very well, rest for half an hour, and prepare for the transition."

……

Because the crew of Ark Culture is very mature.

The actors invited were all good at acting, so the shooting process went very smoothly.

After the first day of filming, Fang Xing personally arranged for a nanny car to take Teacher Zheng Zhihua back to the hotel.

"Ms. Zheng, your scene will probably be filmed for four or five days. If you feel tired, you must tell me, and we will make adjustments." Fang Xing said a word of concern when he sent her to the nanny's car.

"I'm not tired, I just sit and talk. What can I be tired of?" Zheng Zhihua is very energetic and doesn't feel tired at all.

Since the crew gave priority to filming the scenes of Mr. Zheng Zhihua, the plot of the filming was jumpy.

After all, the empress dowager played by Mr. Zheng Zhihua doesn't appear too many times, and every time she appears, she has to wait a few episodes.

Therefore, the scenes filmed tomorrow are not consistent with the scenes filmed today.

However, this situation is very normal in the film and television industry.

……

Not long after "Langya Bang" started, "Furong Tent Warmth Spring Night" also started.

Since Wang Kai didn't accept "Langya Bang", he couldn't play the second male lead in "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night".

Therefore, Pengcheng Capital has found another popular fresh meat to play the male second.

The name of this traffic fresh meat is Ma Hongcheng, and he is a member of the entertainment giant Shengqi Entertainment's new generation boy group.

Shengqi Entertainment can be ranked in the top three entertainment companies in the artist management category.

If you want to say that the most successful boy group in China, INX must be on the list.

The idol groups promoted by Shengqi Entertainment are not limited to singing and dancing, but develop in an all-round way in film, video, song, variety show, and fashion.

Shengqi Entertainment is also the most successful company operating idol groups in multiple fields.

INX is a 9-member group, and there are movie cafes, variety show cafes, TV dramas, and fashion cafes in the group. They all have good results.

Among them, the movie star in INX is the 50 billion Mr. Jia Haochen.

Shengqi Entertainment has even promoted Jia Haochen as "the youngest actor in the future".

This time, Chen Wenhan hooked up with Shengqi Entertainment, and invited Shengqi Entertainment's fresh meat to play the second male lead in "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night".

However, it wasn't Jia Haochen who invited him.

Because Jia Haochen is now the 50 billion man promoted by Shengqi Entertainment, it is impossible to lower his value to make a TV series, even if he makes a TV series, it is impossible to play the second male lead.

Therefore, Shengqi Entertainment recommends Chen Wenhan's fresh meat is Ma Hongcheng, the second generation of INX.

Shengqi Entertainment already has a mature model in operating idol groups.

Ma Hongcheng took the route of Jia Haochen.

However, he needs to shoot a few TV series first to sharpen his acting skills, and then develop to the big screen.

Chen Wenhan hooked up with Shengqi Entertainment, and what they signed was actually a package contract.

Ma Hongcheng has acted in two very popular ancient puppet films, so he is already very popular in the ancient puppet circle.

Shengqi Entertainment asked him to act as the second male lead in "Furong", and then packed Sun Xinru, a member of another Shengqi girl group, to play the third female lead.

Ma Hongcheng paid 1500 million yuan and Sun Xinru 500 million yuan.

Two people add up to 2000 million.

However, Chen Wenhan didn't need to pay this remuneration, because Shengqi Entertainment brought capital into the group and invested 2000 million.

And the 2000 million was used to pay Ma Hongcheng and Sun Xinru's film remuneration.

It is equivalent to Shengqi Entertainment sending two artists, using their salary as investment.

Because of this plan, the investment in "Fu Rong Zhang Warm Spring Night" can be increased, so when talking about it, there is a little premium for the remuneration of the artists of Shengqi Entertainment.

In short, Shengqi Entertainment didn't need to pay a penny for this investment.
