Chapter 164 Confronting Lines (Earth)

As a commercial blockbuster, the plot of "Legend" is not complicated. It can be summed up as a story about a modern man traveling to the ancient times to pursue love in his previous life. The motives of everyone in the script are relatively simple, so there is no room for expression of acting skills. In comparison On the contrary, the character of the prince who killed his father and seized the throne is the most three-dimensional.

Of course, this kind of "three-dimensional" is purely because Xiang Yang was injured and couldn't continue to participate in the show. The director and the eldest brother decided to change the script temporarily, which caused an unexpected situation, and indeed put forward higher requirements for Truman, who plays the prince.

Truman's challenges are far higher than those of the rest of the crew.

Therefore, in the past few days, Big Brother and Director Tang have been focusing on the transformation of Truman's characters. Although they don't have to be at the level that can win an Academy Award, they must be convincing to the audience, otherwise the quality of the entire film will be greatly reduced.

Today is the scene where the prince kills the king and ascends the throne. Director Tang asked Truman to express the personality transformation from rebellious and vicious to cruel and domineering.

"When you were a prince, you only cared about being favored by the king, so you were introverted, and you had to hold back all your expressions. But after becoming a king, the whole country is under the rule of you. What do you like to do? , can do anything, the cautious past has become vicious and domineering now..."

Director Tang gave a lecture to Truman, and he pointed to the set up steps in the background. Below the steps was the prince, and on the steps was the king.

"...So this enthronement means that you have completed the transformation of character and positioning. There will not be too many shots for you in the play, so you have to stand up the character in this scene, understand?"

Director Tang said.

Truman nodded.

It is too easy to agree, but it makes people feel uneasy.

"Let's go through it first," Director Tang said.

Lighting, cameras, props and the whole crew are ready.

All characters are ready.

The eldest brother and the director sat in front of the viewfinder and watched.

click!
The assistant director closed the cast, "32 acts, 1 scene, 1 time, Action!"

The camera first showed this magnificently decorated road, with bloody dragon patterns entrenched on it, the figure of the prince appeared in the camera, and three camera positions were aimed at Truman, namely the front view, side view and background.

Truman's eyes are so clear that he can almost reflect the road to the sky. The light of the flames and the shadow of the road form a flaming step of power in his eyes. The director is keenly aware that this scene is very beautiful. , and came up with the shooting technique in the beginning of "Gangs of New York" where everything fell into the eyes of the actors.

Or you can give it a try... But Director Tang shook his head slightly. This revelatory shooting technique is not suitable for the nature of this drama. After all, "Legend" is a romantic drama with ancient costumes, and that kind of technique is more suitable for historical themes.

Truman climbed the steps. Before that, he had a detail, that is, he touched the index finger of his left hand with his right hand, where he originally wore the prince's seal that belonged to him. Now he is about to become king and has been taken off. This detail is very good, proving that Truman has read this character thoroughly.

Truman continued to ascend the throne, and the three planes followed him all the way. There were 36 steps in total, the number of steps in the sky. After passing through 36 steps, Truman completed the leap of status, and he was at the pinnacle of power.

As a foil for Truman's accession to the throne, the princess played by Gulia is standing beside the throne. From her perspective, she can clearly see the emotional changes of the characters conveyed by Truman, from hesitation to firmness, from hesitation to cruelty. 36 steps, like witnessing the growth of a man.

When Truman stood in front of Gulia, Gulia even trembled a little, because Truman looked at her no longer with love, but full of possessiveness.

When he was a prince before, he could still love others, but now as a king, even if he owns everything, he just possesses it.

Because everything is his, no one can snatch it away.

Truman looked at Gulia and showed a sinister smile. There was no trace of human emotion in this smile. He looked down on the world like a god.

Truman slowly stretched out his hand to pinch Gulia's chin, put his tongue together and kissed fiercely, which was punishment and warning to this woman who kept running away.

Gulia should have resisted, and then Truman would give her a slap in the face, but at this moment, Gulia felt weak all over, and was completely occupied by Truman's aura.

"Crack!"

The director yelled 'click'.

Gu Liya couldn't keep up with Truman's drama, which has been a common thing in the past month or so, so Director Tang's "click" was not only for this reason.

"Do you think it's okay?" Director Tang asked his elder brother.

"It's a bit too much, it's too dramatic." The eldest brother said.

"Well, I think so too." Director Tang said, "Tell him about it."

Then, the elder brother went to give lectures to Truman. As an elder brother who came from a martial arts background and found out a set of acting techniques by himself, in terms of actual filming experience, he was definitely among the top ten in the entire domestic entertainment industry. Truman told Truman what moderation is.

At this time, Gu Liya, who was touching up her makeup, felt her face was hot. The makeup artist noticed the temperature on her face and just smiled secretly, but did not dare to say anything.

There are too many actors involved in the filming, and there are also some who can't get out of the film. Every time Gu Liya and Truman play each other, especially in the intimate scene, they act very flustered. The star Xiaohua who debuted for several years, Gu Liya's performance is not professional enough.

There are enough intimacy scenes today, not because there are enough scenes, but because there are enough repetitions.

The enthronement scene was filmed all morning, and there were nearly 10 scenes, not because Truman's performance was not good, but because Director Tang wanted to find the best one among them.

Director Tang and his elder brother have never met such a treasure as Truman. Any training can be turned into a performance that can be accurately presented. Domineering, feminine, or cruel, whatever they say, Truman can perform. , which made Director Tang and the eldest brother a little addicted.

Director Tang even came up with the idea of ​​tailoring a literary film for Truman, or a CULT-level feature film, Truman will definitely be able to perform amazingly.

The director and the eldest brother had a great time filming, but Gulia was tortured a lot. She was kissed by Truman no less than 10 times in various gestures in one morning. In the end, the whole person became soft, and the slap was still not good. Waiting for the reshoots to be finished tomorrow, anyway, the focus in the morning is Truman.

On the second day, gossip spread from the crew that Truman had spent the night in Gulia's room that night. This kind of gossip spread especially fast and was especially untrue, and no one would bother to verify it. After all, it will be taboo, except for guys with bad brains, such as Zhang Shuai.

"Why did you go last night?" Zhang Shuai asked Truman winkingly.

"Nothing." Truman said with a smile.

"Go to Gulia's room?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing~"

"That's right."

"For one night?"

"Well, yes for one night."
