Actor without ambition

Chapter 254 Changing Plays and Playing Plays

"Yuxuan, I heard that you are quite capable in script creation, then take a look at our Huapi script, is there anything that needs to be improved? If you think there is something that will be better after being changed, you can tell it If we wait until part of our play is filmed, it will be difficult to change the script at that time." Director Chen Jiashang said to Zhang Yuxuan.

Chen Jiashang invited Zhang Yuxuan to play the leading role of Painted Skin, so he naturally did some research on Zhang Yuxuan and had a certain understanding of him.

Chen Jiashang knew about Zhang Yuxuan.Zhang Yuxuan's acting skills are not bad among the younger generation, and his attitude when filming is not bad, he will not lose his temper easily and play big names, he is a relatively easy-going actor.

But Zhang Yuxuan can't say that there are no shortcomings, only one, it seems that he loves to change the script.

It is said that when Zhang Yuxuan was filming TV dramas, he liked to change the script. Later, when he entered the film industry, he was more direct, and the script was created directly according to his ideas.

It's just that whether it's the script that Zhang Yuxuan revised or the script that was written according to Zhang Yuxuan's thinking, the quality is pretty good, at least whether it's the ratings of the TV series or the box office of the movie, they all performed very well.

That's why Chen Jiashang asked such a question.

If Zhang Yuxuan wanted the script, then the filming of their movie has not officially started yet, and there are some changes to the script, but it won't have much impact.

And if Zhang Yuxuan does not modify the script now, then when the movie officially starts shooting, he will not accept Zhang Yuxuan's request to change the script.What Chen Jiashang said to Zhang Yuxuan above meant this.

Of course, if Zhang Yuxuan asked to change the script, but the revised script made Chen Jiashang feel bad, he would also refuse Zhang Yuxuan to modify the script.

"Director, from what you said, it seems that I like to change the script. I just mentioned some small details and some small problems from my personal point of view. They are all harmless things." Zhang Yuxuan said humbly.

As for Zhang Yuxuan's words, whether Chen Jiashang would believe it was another matter.

Zhou Xun, Gao Yuanyuan, and even Zhen Bullet looked at Zhang Yuxuan curiously, wanting to know whether Zhang Yuxuan would change the script, and if so, how.

At the same time, Zhen Bullet was still squinting, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, which made people look down upon him and couldn't figure it out.

"Then, tell me, what do you think?" Chen Jiashang said, nodding to the screenwriter next to him, and the screenwriter took out the paper and pen in time.

"Actually, in my opinion, the script of Huapi is really excellent. It portrays the plot, emotions and other aspects very well..." Zhang Yuxuan first praised him.

The director Chen Jiashang and the screenwriter couldn't help showing smiles on their faces.

"However, I think there is something wrong with Wang Sheng's life. I don't mean there is a problem. I just think that Wang Sheng's personality is a bit unpleasant. Wang Sheng seems affectionate, but his stand is not firm enough. The relationship with his wife is fine, but Xiao Wei made him a little bit lost, but he was not confused by the fox demon Xiao Wei. A movie changed his position several times. I think it can make Wang Sheng's position firmer. For example, let him not doubt his wife from the beginning to the end..." Zhang Yuxuan said to himself.

Chen Jia listened, and frowned slightly: "If it is really modified as you said, the role of Wang Sheng is indeed more likable, but his character will make the movie lack some depth, and it will make the movie more or less boring." The movie loses some color, especially the scene of the two heroines, and some changes will also take place because of this..."

"Well, I understand, but a loyal wife and a fox demon who doesn't know how to love don't understand, this is a very sharp contrast in itself. And the more loyal Wang Sheng is to his wife, the more loyal the fox demon Xiaowei will be to human beings." Feelings become more and more curious, and finally, because of curiosity, feelings arise..."

Zhang Yuxuan and Chen Jiashang were both trying to convince each other.

In fact, Zhang Yuxuan was right, and Chen Jiashang was also right.

It's just that the trigger angles of the two of them are a bit different.

Zhang Yuxuan is triggered by the role he plays. Of course, he hopes that the role he plays can be better. The better the character design, the more the audience will like the role he plays, so that more and more audiences like him.

As for Chen Jiashang, he saw the problem from the perspective of the film as a whole.The position of Wang Sheng's character is not firm enough, so that the scenes of the two heroines can be more prominent, the whole movie can look more profound, and it can arouse the audience's discussion on human nature.

Therefore, there is no problem for them to look at the problem from their own standpoints.

According to Zhang Yuxuan's method, Zhang Yuxuan will get more benefits. At the same time, it may also be because of the firm character of Wang Sheng that more audiences will enter the movie theater. After all, simple and straightforward feelings are more charming. It may not have a certain positive impact on the movie box office.

But judging from Chen Jiashang's original script, it will make the film more artistic, and it may be helpful for winning awards.

Therefore, both Zhang Yuxuan and Chen Jiashang were not wrong.

However, in a short period of time, neither of them could convince the other. In the end, both parties set their sights on Zhou Xun Gao Yuanyuan and Zhen Bullet.At this time, other people are needed to vote.

"I think the original script is quite good. After all, it is the script written by the screenwriter and the director after discussing for so long. All aspects and even details should have been considered very comprehensively. So I think that the sudden and reckless change of the script This kind of thing is very bad." Zhen Bullet was the first to speak.

Zhen Bomb is probably the last thing he wants to see Zhang Yuxuan requesting to change the script.

After all, if the filming has not started yet, and the script is changed according to Zhang Yuxuan's idea, and the director is really wrong according to Zhang Yuxuan's statement, then Zhang Yuxuan's prestige in the crew will probably directly rise to a level.

Zhang Yuxuan himself is the leading actor, plus he can rewrite the script at will according to his own requirements, others will think that Zhang Yuxuan is awesome.

Then his position in the production team, Zhen Zi, will naturally be affected.

Originally, although he was a supporting role, he was somewhat supported by his identity from Xiangjiang, so that he would not be at a disadvantage in the face of Zhang Yuxuan, the protagonist, in the crew.As Zhang Yuxuan's status rises, his status will correspondingly decline, which is something Zhen Bullets really don't want to see.

How should I put it, it's not too much to say that Zhen Dan is a drama bully.

In the previous Fuse, Sha Po Lang and other films, Zhen Bullet only participated in the film as the leading actor, but during the filming process, he always liked to intervene in the filming, and sometimes he would even discuss with the director. Conflict arises.

The character of Zhen Zibo is actually not liked by the director, which is why, Donnie Yen made his debut very early, but it has been tepid for so many years, so that later, an Ip Man turned out to be Born, it was only after Li Lianjie and Fang Shilong almost retired that he had the opportunity to make his debut and became a big star.

Otherwise, if you were another person, you would become Yuan Baye's most admired disciple, and your looks would not be bad, and your kung fu would not be weak. With so many factors added up, after so many years of mixing, you would not be popular, and your luck might be On the one hand, but on the other hand, it is undeniable that there are certain problems with his own personality.

"Actually, the audience should like a husband who is loyal to his wife. Haha, of course, this is just my personal opinion." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Zhou Xun looked at Zhang Yuxuan, and took a while to say: "Actually, Wang Sheng's firm personality is not bad. After all, Wang Sheng is not a scholar in the movie but a general. Generals, it's normal to have a firm personality."

Both heroines sided with Zhang Yuxuan.

Three to two, finally Chen Jia nodded: "Then change it!"

Of course, the main reason is that none of the movies and TV series that Zhang Yuxuan participated in failed.

In fact, the reason why Chen Jiashang invited Zhang Yuxuan to play the male lead was also due to this consideration.

Just like Zhou Xingxing, almost all the movies he starred in have never failed. Even if they fail temporarily, they will be revoked and revered as classics in the future. will lose.

That's why Chen Jiashang's attitude towards Zhang Yuxuan was more conniving.

So, the script began to be revised.

First of all, Wang Sheng saved Xiao Wei, which in itself was a little unreasonable, but Wang Sheng didn't have any doubts about Xiao Wei's identity.

But now, after the modification, Wang Sheng rescued Xiao Wei, but he faintly doubted Xiao Wei's identity.

And later on, Pei Rong has always been trusted by Wang Sheng, even if Pei Rong was framed by Xiao Wei as a monster, he has always silently believed in Pei Rong, just to find out Xiao Wei's fox tail, so he played on the spot and so on.

At first, Chen Jiashang and the screenwriter didn't like this change very much.

But after the actual revision of the script was completed, Chen Jiashang found that after such a revision, the charm of Wang Sheng's role was simply not too great.

He looks handsome. After all, Zhang Yuxuan plays Wang Sheng. With such a face, it is absolutely against his will to say that he is not handsome.

He is handsome, has an extraordinary family background, and is not bad in strength, but he has a deep love for his wife. Everyone thinks his wife is a monster, but Wang Sheng firmly believes it and so on.

It can be said that this Wang Sheng is definitely the Prince Charming in the hearts of thousands of girls, the perfect male god in the hearts of thousands of girls!

Chen Jiashang was almost certain that after the modification of Wang Sheng's character design, the artistic elements were less, but it definitely helped a lot in improving the box office.At least one Wang Sheng alone will make many female audiences go to the cinema to watch movies again and again.

So art or box office?When these two options were put in front of Chen Jiashang, Chen Jiashang chose box office without hesitation.

After all, a director who can make money is a popular director.

Otherwise, why would he, Chen Jiashang, go north and leave his hometown to make movies in the mainland?

Chen Jiashang himself is not the kind of director who pursues art!

It's no problem for Chen Jia to come here.But Zhen Bullet's complexion was a little unsightly.

Especially when Zhen Bullet found out that the people who used to live next to him, after Zhang Yuxuan so easily persuaded the director to revise the script, they began to faintly move closer to Zhang Yuxuan, Zhen Bullet became even more angry.

"Director, I think maybe we can arrange a fight scene between Pang Yong and Wang Sheng." Zhen Zijin took the initiative to approach Chen Jia.

"Ah?" Chen Jiashang was a little confused: "Wang Sheng and Pang Yong's fight? What kind of fight is there between the two of them? They can't fight!" Chen Jiashang couldn't help but say.

"No, director, look, Pang Yong likes Wang Sheng's wife Pei Rong, and before them, the three of them also had a love triangle relationship, even though Pang Yong quit in the end, it doesn't mean that Pang Yong doesn't love Pei Rong. When Pang Yong came back this time, he found that Wang Sheng was bewitched by the fox demon Xiaowei, and even framed Pei Rong as a monster—”

"No, Wang Sheng has always believed that his wife is not a monster." Chen Jiashang interrupted Zhen Bullet.

"But Pang Yong doesn't know!" said Zhen Bullet.

"Ugh?"

"We can arrange the plot like this. Wang Sheng believed in his wife, but in order to find the real monster, he framed Pei Rong together with others. Pang Yong, who didn't know the truth, knew about this and rushed to Wang Sheng's house. In front of him, he wanted to teach Wang Sheng a lesson, and then the two of them started a battle. After the fight, Wang Sheng told Pang Yong what he thought, and then the two of them teamed up to deal with Xiao Wei and save Pei Rong. Director, do you think this arrangement is Wouldn’t it be better. And if the fight scenes are well shot, the audience will also like to watch them. Maybe the fight scenes between Pang Yong and Wang Sheng can bring tens of millions more box office to the movie.”

Zhen bulleted that he had racked his brains.

As for Chen Jia, thinking about Zhen Bullet's words, it seems that this kind of arrangement is quite good.

"Okay, then I'll arrange a fight scene between Wang Sheng and Peng Yong." Chen Jia nodded and responded directly.

Seeing this, Zhen Zi's eyes, which were not too big, narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in the narrowed eyes.

Relying on the play, the fake show was really done to teach Zhang Yuxuan a lesson. He is not too familiar with this kind of thing.That's how Wu Jing was targeted by him at the beginning.

At that time, just casually say something like fists and feet without eyes, and you can't hold back if you use too much strength.He has used this excuse countless times.

And after Chen Jiashang found Zhang Yuxuan and told about the fight scene between Pang Yong and Wang Sheng, Zhang Yuxuan was stunned almost immediately.

"Director, why did you suddenly think of shooting such a fight scene?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at Chen Jiashang in surprise.

"Hahaha, a wonderful fight scene is also very helpful to the box office. Let's face it. Everything is for the sake of making a good movie. Moreover, the audience may also be curious, how did Pang Yong and Wang Sheng Who is more powerful, so it's not bad to directly arrange a fight scene." Chen Jiashang laughed.

"Director, Zhen Bullet didn't suggest this fight, did he?" Zhang Yuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right. Zhen Zibao is also a senior actor. He started his debut in the [-]s, and it has been more than [-] years now. He still has a vision. Occasionally he can come up with some ideas, which are still helpful to the film." Chen Jia Didn't hide it either.

Hearing what Chen Jiashang said, Zhang Yuxuan understood Zhen Bullet's plan almost immediately.

Especially before Zhang Yuxuan thought of what Wu Jing had said to him about Zhen Bullet, so he knew almost instinctively that Zhen Bullet might just want to take revenge on himself.

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but glanced at Zhen Bullet, this person was really too narrow-minded.

However, Zhen Bullet's narrow-mindedness is something that almost everyone in the circle knows.

Afterwards, Wang Baojun and Zhen Zijian made a movie together, which was Feng Yuxiu's one-man martial arts where both life and death were determined.

The movie "One Man's Martial Arts", from the very beginning, was positioned as the leading actor and Wang Baojun as the male villain.

However, after the movie was shot and edited, Zhen Bullet found out that Feng Yuxiu's scene in the movie was better than his leading role, so Zhen Bullet directly dropped the pick.

That's right, Zhen Bullet directly dropped the pick, and he directly stopped participating in the promotion of the movie "One Man's Martial Arts".

So the rest of the crew, including Wang Baojun, had to start running publicity frequently, but there was no sign of Zhen Bullet.

You must know that Zhen Bullet is the leading actor. The movie is about to be released, and everyone is promoting it, but the leading actor has run away.

In the end, the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" obviously had a good quality, but it didn't win much at the box office, and it directly lost money.

If Zhen Bullet had been doing publicity together, the result would have been different.After all, at the time when Zhen Bullet, with the help of the Ip Man series of movies, was considered a big name, whether Zhen Bullet was involved in publicity together, the impact was still quite big.

"Director, I'm not from martial arts. It can be said that basically I haven't practiced much. If I really want to shoot a fight scene with Zhen Dan, I can't do it." Zhang Yuxuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

Chen Jia was stunned for a moment: "But I can't help but remember that I have made quite a few martial arts films."

"They were all doubles, especially when I was filming No. [-] in the world. I didn't even drop the wire a few times. It can be said that almost all of the fight scenes were done by doubles—the director, or you see, it's the same as Zhen's bullet." How about a stand-in for a fight scene? It’s not that I’m hypocritical, it’s just that I can’t do it with my skills. When the time comes, Zhen Zi and I will be filming a fight scene together. He looks good no matter what, but no matter how I see it here. Hip pulling, this is too ugly, right? How about I hire a professional substitute?" Zhang Yuxuan said to Chen Jiashang.

"A stand-in, that's fine, let's arrange for a stand-in." Chen Jiashang didn't feel embarrassed either.

Well, the main reason is that Zhang Yuxuan is famous enough, so he is fully qualified to use a substitute.In fact, Xiangjiang makes movies. Although many actors are real actors, there are actually quite a few actors who use doubles.
