When will I be the queen

Chapter 426 Role
"Paul's acting skills improved a little in The Mist, but he immediately went on to play the leading role in other projects. How could he be content to play a minor supporting role in a second-rate drama? As for Robert, his appearance is indeed a problem, but his acting skills are indeed good. You see, his eyes are very dramatic."

Gabit pointed to Cai Cai and said, "Look at this scene. It's a scene of betrayal. Sean recognized that the murderer was his savior. Look."

After Cai Cai finished watching it at normal speed, she slowed it down again and said, "It's indeed good, but if you didn't tell me this part, I would have thought he was acting like he was being cuckolded."

"." Gabitt took back his phone and said angrily, "Don't be so demanding, okay? This kind of emotional performance is just about expressing an emotion, and the plot is all completed by the lines. How can it be so easy to meet an actor who can express a thousand words at a glance? I have only met you so far."

"." Stop flattering me. Cai Cai blushed a little because she sometimes also acted out emotions. Lawrence talked about this problem a long time ago. Many actors who pursue acting skills will face this problem of acting out emotions. In fact, it is not easy for an actor to act out emotions, or what the director wants and what the role requires. There are a lot of actors who can't act out any emotions at all.
But another problem that arises from this is that the actors start to take advantage of their acting skills, their ability to control and release emotions, and start to be lazy. They don't fully understand the emotional development of the characters and the trajectory of the plot, and only act out the emotions in each scene. Their performances are thin, and they are happy, sad, painful, and desperate. They are directly stereotyped. When they are happy, they laugh while jumping, when they are sad, they cry with their hands covering their faces, when they are painful, they cry with their hands covering their hearts, when they are desperate, they scream to the sky, and when they are affectionate, they stare straight. But looking at a picture, it may be okay, but if it is matched with the plot and based on the character setting, it is terrible.

“I hope this isn’t a Facebook emotional performance.”

"."Gapit looked at Cai Cai, not wanting to cry, and said, "Please don't be such a pessimist."

Joey started to worry when he heard this. "However, if the director and editor pay more attention, it won't be a big problem if it's just emotions. At most, we can just replace the actors later. After all, they are supporting detectives in a suspense drama, so it's normal for a few deaths."

“.” As expected of a screenwriter.

Cai Cai and Gebitt were both shocked by the words of Joey, the black-hearted screenwriter. Speaking of which, you don't care about breach of contract at all.

"If he wants to lose weight with his muscular body, he might as well practice martial arts with those stunt actors and achieve the effect of thin muscles." Cai Cai suggested.

Gabitt called Robert on the spot and told him the suggestion, or rather, the order.

Robert accepted it very happily, and said that he had actually started to lose weight, and was practicing Kung Fu and boxing. He would definitely appear in front of the crew with a new image that matched the role.

After Gabitt hung up the phone, Cai Cai sighed, "What a hardworking and smart person!" and glanced at Joey, so, don't think about writing about dead people! !
Joey laughed. Gabitt thought, who knows whether what this guy said is true or not? Just believe whatever he says. He opened the script and said, "Let's go through it first. The screenwriter from Jonathan's side made a lot of changes to the previous script. Although it's not the final version, they asked someone to give it to you. Their intentions are very bad."

Cai Cai looked at Gabitt and said, "Don't you agree?" Isn't it too late to blame others now? I don't blame you.

Gabit knew that he would not blame himself, but he still complained for himself, "What is our relationship? How could I give you that kind of script? Even if you dare to act, I dare not shoot it!!"

But, "I also knew that you would raise objections, and Jarvis would also have objections, so I deliberately did not stop them from messing around." However, "some of those screenwriters received benefits from Jonathan, and some have always been thinking of praising male actors. You know, in this circle, practitioners all over the world, regardless of gender, will subconsciously have the idea and behavior of praising male stars. There is no way, male sex consumption is indeed a supermarket, no matter how good female stars are, the economic value created is not as high as that of male stars."

Because there are many women who spend money on male stars, and there are also many men, but there are many women who spend money on female stars, and the number of men can basically be ignored. Among women and feminine consumer groups, the number of people who spend money on male stars is far greater than the number of people who spend money on female stars, even if there is a lot of overlap.

This is a fact. It is also a fact that the average output of male artists is more than that of female artists. It is also a fact that capital and the market push male artists to earn more returns because male artists have a longer lifespan than female artists. But in the history of light and shadow art around the world, the top stars in all countries are always female artists. This is the biggest fact.

Gebitt concealed the dim light in his eyes, looked at Cai Cai, and smiled faintly.

There are still too many stingy men.
"Why are men so stingy when chasing stars?" Joey complained.

"."You're still auctioning off my autographed photo, don't think I don't know!
Cai Cai glanced at Joey and was too lazy to say anything. However, she didn't know whether it cost money or not. She just felt that many straight male fans had a sense of pride that they were honored to like a female artist like you. She saw that many male fans of other female artists had this feeling. She didn't have much contact with her own male fans, so she didn't know much. It's not that she discriminated against individual male fans, but compared with the performance of other female fans or even male fans of the same sex, the difference is really big.

The gender ratio of singers' fans is more balanced than that of actors' fans. This is also a reflection of fans' self-projection and fantasy. It can only be said that the shining stage is the dream of countless people.
Cai Cai sometimes couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if her talent and ideals were to be ignited in singing. But if she said this, she would probably be beaten to death. Not only did she complain without reason, but she also wanted to eat more and take more.
Mei Zhang mentioned before that some artists are good at managing fans and will attract male or female fans in a targeted manner, such as otaku culture, male role culture, and even gigolo culture, etc. The economic value of these highly targeted fan groups is also beyond imagination. So it’s not that men are reluctant to spend money chasing stars, but that the marketing has not reached their consumption threshold.

So, in the final analysis, fan economy is a commercial behavior, and the role played by celebrities is just commodities.

Cai Cai didn't think Jonathan's approach was wrong at all, nor did she have any opinions about those screenwriters. Everyone was just trying to make money in the industry. "I'm an actress, and I have my advantages. You can't just see the advantages of male actors and envy men, right?" This kind of question is not the first time it has appeared. Cai Cai always feels that every time there is a problem, people blame it on gender, and it seems that many problems can be rationalized and automatically resolved.
"From the fact that Jarvis and you guys were watching them writing the script for fun, you can tell that I have the upper hand. The reason for this script problem has nothing to do with whether I am a female actor or not, and it has never been a gender issue. It is just a conflict of interest caused by the role bias. In fact, in many things, in various industries, various disputes caused by gender issues have always been conflicts of interest. Involving gender or creating various views of opposition between men and women is completely avoiding the main issue."

Cai Cai was born in a family where women are in power. She is very clear-headed because of the teachings of her family. "Many conflicts and contradictions in society are essentially disputes over interests, but human nature is ashamed to face this essence, which leads to many other conflicts and contradictions. My mother taught me that freedom, love, fairness and other things are essentially the vital interests of the self. So interests can be anything as long as they have value. The definition of value is also subjective, but the objective definition of value can only be widely recognized if it is absolutely objective."

For example, personal injury compensation.

Anyway, "For me, gender is never the root of the problem except in the bathroom situation."

Cai Cai pointed at herself and said, "Should I admit that I have so many troubles and hardships because I am a woman? Should I admit that because the other person is a man, he can cause me troubles and difficulties?" Then I would be really useless.

After saying that, he looked at Joey and said, "Since we are talking about this, let me say a few more words before reading the script. The female characters you write are objectively good. Indeed, there are many women who like such female characters, but to be honest, they are still the female images in men's fantasies."

The female characters in many works, including heroines and strong women, are created by female screenwriters and writers based on the male fantasy framework. There are too many examples, so I won’t go into details. Joey asked Cai Cai, “How would you write a female character, such as Claire?” Joey felt that he had written a good one.

He read a lot of history and various books, and in that social setting where there were classes and slaves, and women had no inheritance rights, no voting rights, and many other rights and freedoms, he created a young single female character like Claire who had a firm self-thinking, was independent, strong in force, brave, and not afraid of power and male power. It was a bit vulgar, but this role had reached its limit. All the settings, appearance, life experience, mind, personality, thinking, all these female settings had reached their limit. In any script, this would be the ceiling of the character setting.

Moreover, this is a role tailor-made for Cai Cai, so half of the setting factors are derived from Cai Cai's own conditions. This is a role that every actor likes, or even the most favorite. But in Cai Cai's opinion, it is still not good enough?
Cai Cai held the script and said, "I am not denying you, nor am I saying that the character you wrote is not good enough, but this kind of character has a basic framework, and then it is refined. Independence, bravery, violence, these traits are neutral, and they are even often used on men. So in many works, the inner core of the popular female characters is still masculine, and even if the gender is changed, the role is still reasonable and does not affect the plot at all."

Therefore, many female characters have to fall in love, give birth, be naked, be beaten, and cry. These scenes of female abuse, which are hated by many people, are actually used to increase the roles of female characters in the barren scenes. Most of the scenes of female abuse are because the scripts and characters are thin.

Many popular male characters also have neutral and feminine qualities, but the difference is that the scenes of male abuse are not because the script is thin, on the contrary, most of the scenes of male abuse are the highlights of male characters.
Let's not even talk about the difference. Let's just talk about whether this can make male and female characters beautiful just because of their own gender characteristics, and be liked because of the gender characteristics of the characters themselves?
For example, if the character is female, the setting is gentle and obedient, with extremely obvious female gender characteristics, without female competition, male flattery, or female abuse. If the character is male, the setting is tough and powerful, without male competition, female flattery, or male abuse. In other words, there is no plot arrangement that is opposite to or derived from the character setting, and the plot is only carried out in a positive direction according to the character setting.

There are such characters in film history. They are just becoming less and less common.
It's too much of a given. The complexity of the characters is what makes them come alive. They don't follow the popular plots. This is not unpopular, it's a side path.

Cai Cai had never thought of such an extreme idea. After all, she couldn't write such a weird plot. Besides, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, they were all human beings. Human nature was the same, and gender traits were even more so. Everyone should have beautiful things.

But, "I only need one setting that must be unique to the character of Claire or something. As long as the gender is changed, the plot and the character will not make sense."

This is not a setting that only female characters can have, it is a setting that only Claire can have.
Joey frowned. Cai Cai must not have thought of this now. She should have thought of it since she took over Claire. But she only said it today. The reason may be due to Jonathan's influence, or she may want to further control Claire, or she may just talk about it. Joey guessed it was the last one, but it did not affect how difficult this matter was.

Then, Cai Cai also obviously mentioned the fatal key to Claire's role - she could be a man. It does not affect the overall plot at all, and there is no conflict with other characters. She changed her gender and integrated perfectly.

Gabite broke out in a cold sweat. Now the third season is about to start filming, and the entire script has been revised again and again and is finally completed. As a result, Cai Cai pointed out the most fatal part.

Obviously, the expressions of the five producers who had been listening silently also changed.

Because "Misty Town" is to be built into a long-term IP, Claire played by Cai Cai is a root character, a vital character. Only when the character of Claire is stable, the entire series and other characters can be stable. Because Claire played by Cai Cai is unshakable and irreplaceable, everything else, including plot characters and even behind-the-scenes directors and screenwriters, can be replaced. Cai Cai has always been an excellent actress, hardworking and obedient, and no one has ever worried that she would have problems. As a result, Cai Cai is now fine, and Cai Cai's character has been found to have fatal problems.

The most outstanding part of a work is the irreplaceable soul character. It is the whole character that integrates the actor himself. Therefore, no matter how many classic works are released or how many sequels they have, the soul character can never be replaced. This role is mostly the leading actor, but sometimes it can also be other supporting roles or special features.

The soul character of the Mist is undoubtedly Claire. The whole story is based on her life storyline and character setting, and other characters are also developed based on her. As a result, now, after talking about it, such a fatal problem has been raised - Claire can be replaced.
This is much more serious than the previous script that suppressed Claire.

"How about contacting Jarvis?" Gabitt suggested in a low voice.

Jarvis wrote the first version of the script for The Mist, and he should know best what the characters should look like. Joey is good at writing detective stories. Although The Mist was adapted from his script about a male protagonist named Long Aotian, Jarvis only needed him to write the detective story line, and all other plots were written by Jarvis. Then Joey became the chief screenwriter, and he must be much weaker in character writing. He is not good at writing female characters, and he is also bad at writing male characters. He is a typical writer who can write stories but not characters.

That’s why Cai Cai’s performance is so important, because Cai Cai saved 80% of the fog.

"Why contact him? This is Joey's script, and there are so many screenwriters working on it. If you find Jarvis, you will only be scolded or even replaced," Cai Cai poured cold water on the suggestion.

Joey also looked unhappy. How could he become more and more incompetent the more he worked? By the way, has Cai Cai's screenwriting thinking become stronger?

"Then tell me what you think. If you were a screenwriter, how would you write Claire?" Joey asked directly. It's impossible for Cai Cai to have no ideas.

"If I were the screenwriter of The Mist, I would replace the role with a male actor, and the plot would definitely be much smoother." Cai Cai was more direct.

"." Five producers called a halt at the same time. You might as well replace us! !

Gebitt was also extremely speechless, "I asked you to express your ideas, not to deal with us from the perspective of capital and director." Leave us a way out.

If we really replace you, we will all be dead.

Cai Cai laughed and said, "You just can't afford to play!" You are the ones who asked me, and the answer I gave is definitely the best answer!

"Cai Cai." Joey begged Cai Cai in standard Mandarin, twisting his body and acting coquettishly.

Cai Cai was so fed up with it, she said, "Because this is your nature, I'm sorry for being so talkative, but if you really want to know, I'll just tell you, don't take it too seriously, just think about it again, and let's all brainstorm, right?" It was said in a foreign language, and when translated, it sounded just like this.
