Chapter 149 The Choice of Art

When Huang Baiyou returned to Shuangfeng, he had already completed [familiar with the background of the plot], [visited the descendants of the prototype of the character], [recited his own and the opponent's lines], and won three rewards. He almost finished learning the old Xiang dialect.

"Basic knowledge of journalists", "Xiao Tu's small amount of emotional fragments" and "Xiao Tu's large amount of emotional fragments", Huang Baiyou intends to experience Xiao Tu's memories first.

Back at the hotel, put ice water on the table, Huang Baiyou took a deep breath, and entered Xiao Tu's emotional fragments...

The conversation was divided into two parts, and I talked about another matter of great concern. After several meetings, the casting of "Shadow" finally came to a conclusion.

The meeting personnel included Lao Tu, Pei Wen, Yuan Xiangshi, screenwriter, assistant director, producer, and art director. It was almost equivalent to a large-scale script reading without actors.

Fighting with each other, Lao Tu and Yuan Xiangshi supported Huang Baiyou.

The director preferred Li Dongdong, not because Huang Baiyou's performance in the audition was bad, but because the actors who auditioned were all good, but Li Dongdong was more in line with Pei Wen's aesthetics.

Generally speaking, if you have any objections, listen to the director Pei Wen. After all, he is the helmsman who controls the direction of the big ship.

"Old Pei, you have forgotten that your request is not something that ordinary actors can do." Lao Tu said, "First get strong and play the heroic Jingzhou, and then lose weight for a short time to play the scrawny governor Tzuyu, you can do it." How many people are there in the entertainment industry at this stage?"

This sentence ended the competition. It is extremely difficult for an actor to lose weight in a short period of time. It is not about whether he is willing to do it, but whether he can do it. Huang Baiyou has a successful example in "The Road of Life".

"Li Dongdong is not bad, let him play King Pei." Pei Wen said.

In addition, when Yuan Xiangshi auditioned, Pei Wen felt that he was more suitable for Zhang Cang, the invincible enemy god of war in the film, so he was directly selected, and then asked him to act as an examiner for free.

At present, the main characters of "Shadow" have been determined——

[Ziyu/Jingzhou: Huang Baiyou
Ai Qiao: Zhou Weijie
Pei Wang: Li Dongdong
Zhang Cang: Yuan Xiangshi
Liu Xiang: Guan Qing

Lu Zhisu: Bao Ying]

"Is the filming location ready?" Pei Wen paid attention to the progress.

Originally, the crew planned to go to the Seoul film and television shooting base in Zaoyang, but after the on-the-spot investigation, Pei Wen felt that it did not suit his aesthetic sense, so he planned to rebuild a building complex.

What beauty?Pei Wen wants to use "Shadow" to restore China as an ink landscape. He wants to make every frame of the movie into an ink painting. He has great ambitions, so he has high requirements for architecture.

Making a movie and building a film and television base is a bit outrageous, but for a big director of Pei Wen's level, he can mobilize so much capital, and even the local government is willing to cooperate, which is a very normal operation.

"Not so fast." Lao Tu shook his head.

"Can it be completed before this year?" Pei Wen asked.

"If the new calendar is used as the end of this year, then the construction progress will be very difficult." Lao Tu said, "If the old calendar is used as the end, the construction period will be in time."

"I want to start filming in December." Pei Wen said.

Lao Tu shook his head like a rattle, "No, it can't be done, it's impossible."

"The machine will start up in December. This month is the most suitable. Spring will start in February." Pei Wen said.

"The construction is too fast and unsafe, and no matter how soon it will be finished at the end of December." Lao Tu said, "Let's respect the construction team."

Tu Pei started arguing again, both the assistant director and art director are used to it, as soon as they start filming, the two will definitely have a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every five days.

In the end, the conversation ended with Pei Wen's words, "Anyway, I'm going to start the machine in December, and I don't care about the rest."

Pei Wen is a bit headstrong.

The good news failed to pass on to the parties, because Pei Wen's studio hadn't sent a message yet, and Huang Baiyou was in a state of emotional confusion.

He experienced Xiao Tu's emotions, which had a greater impact on his emotions than Huang Baiyou expected.

When entering Xiao Tu's mood, Huang Baiyou seemed to calmly watch himself step by step into the deeper part of the lake.Every choice you make adds depth to drowning yourself.

As we all know, people cannot breathe in water, so Huang Baiyou felt that ever since Xiao Tu walked forward, he had to endure unspeakable suffocation.

I don't know how deep the lake is, Huang Baiyou can't see the way forward, and Xiao Tu has no way to retreat.

"Do you want to act out this despair?" Huang Baiyou fell into deep thought.

Stanislavsky said a very classic truth in "The Actor's Self-cultivation", not all truths are suitable to be shown on the stage, because many truths will make the audience uncomfortable, this is why art is higher than life .

If this kind of despair is staged, the audience will definitely be depressed watching the drama, coupled with the plot itself...may cause low ratings.

In literary creation, writers often use short or joking descriptions of very sad plots, too heavy will really affect the viewing of movies.

To or not to?
Huang Baiyou called Zhou Xilin. Brother Zhou was more suitable to answer his question in terms of age and acting skills.

After answering the phone, Huang Baiyou uttered all his doubts, and Zhou Xilin fell into silence.

How does Zhou Xilin feel?It feels like a college student is suddenly asked about the Riemann conjecture.

"I heard that when a singer reaches a certain level, he will give up something and focus on something. I didn't expect actors to have similar choices. My goal now is to perform every scene well. Whether or not to act more realistically is a question for me. It's too early to say." Zhou Xilin replied.

"But I know there is someone who can explain your confusion." Zhou Xilin fell silent after finishing this sentence.

What wouldn't be said is Su Fuguang who greened him, it's unnecessary, Huang Baiyou said: "Brother Zhou, then I'll think about it myself."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Baiyou pondered that the essence of this choice is the core of the performance, "caring about the public's aesthetics", "or more about self-expression", and "truth".

The truth is the self-summary of the expresser, just like the despair that Huang Baiyou saw is also summed up through emotional fragments, so the truth is integrated into his own expression.

Some people may say that as long as the performance is done well, the public will definitely like it, and that is definitely true. Huang Baiyou has already gone through "good", and if he wants to reach better, should he reduce his emotions to make the audience more comfortable watching, or stick to it?
This question is too profound, Huang Baiyou changed a solution, why is it so uncomfortable, Xiao Tu can still persist?
Huang Baiyou's goal stayed on the reward of the reward task [-].

[Reward: Dawn Before Dawn
Details: It is darkest before dawn, but there is always someone who can say that there is light in the darkness. "If there is no light in the darkness, then I will become the light." 】

"I understand. I can't just act in despair, but also how to survive." Huang Baiyou wanted to understand.

About half an hour later, Zhou Xilin sent a message on WeChat.

Brother Zhou: [The answer I asked for you, the original words are "This question is a good question. I haven't seen such a good question for a long time. My answer to this question is to express myself, because actors can express themselves It’s the light of art”, it’s up to you how to do it. ]
