This director needs to apologize

Chapter 258: The End Hero and the Treacherous Hero

Yu Rongguang, who was called for the "special performance", is an old man. He was born in a Peking Opera family. He became famous in the Hong Kong circle in his early years. After the decline of the Hong Kong circle, he returned to the mainland and found a new way to establish a sect in the South of Caiyun.

Not only is he still acting, but he has also established a niche in the field of Chinese TV dramas and has become a talker.

It can be said that Zhang Yi and Lao Yu are not equal at all. The latter directly beats him in terms of acting skills and status.

Not to mention Zhang Yi, even Chen Yiming can still ignore Lao Yu if he gets stubborn.

It is also conceivable that Boss Yu, who is currently having a heated discussion with Zhang Yi, who is "looking for trouble" in the corner, will surprise all the people in the crew and behind the scenes.

Although Yu Rongguang was invited by name by Chen Yiming, after the two met, they were just polite and failed to develop a so-called friendship.

One was really lacking in energy, not to mention that Chen Yiming was so busy that he hit the back of his head. It was also very hard for Yu Rongguang to be out on location all day long at his age. The two of them only had a few words when they first met.

Secondly, the crew itself is not a place suitable for socializing. Ever since the scene moved to Dunhuang, there have been no reporters around the location. They are constantly fighting each other 24 hours a day, and even the most serious things will be spread.

Qin Zhilei, who joined the team for the first time in Dunhuang a few days ago, suffered a serious blow. The little girl had just graduated and had no experience. She left her assistant and went shopping alone, but she was buried in a trap by reporters with ulterior motives.

When people asked her what her first impressions were of the director and the lead actor, Qin Zhilei answered honestly that she had not communicated with Chen Yiming for more than a week after joining the set, and she had not even met Yu Nan.

What he said was true, but he couldn't bear the consequences of the press conference.

So the next day, a series of palace battle scenes were arranged on the website for "Mulan", such as Chen Yiming changing roles before the battle, and Yu Nan playing a big name to suppress newcomers. The hype was booming.

Who makes Chen Yiming's movies so popular? With his name in the title, there will be clicks.

Chen Yiming also received a call from Lao Jia. According to his speculation, "Mulan" was probably being targeted by "friends", who were laying mines in advance to prepare for detonation in subsequent episodes.

As professional marketing companies gradually become more popular, film promotion and distribution has begun to adopt "explosion-proof" operations, and Chen Yiming, who is a rising star, is the biggest target.

This kind of operation has become the norm in the industry in later generations. Some "negatives" that are both true and false are pre-emptively planted in advance. When the announcement period comes, it will be ready-made "ammunition" for speculation.

Both the positive and the negative are useful. For each wave of hot search keywords, you can choose a few stink bombs and stuff them into the text to take stock. If you say too many falsehoods, they will naturally become true.

Before Chen Yiming traveled through time in his previous life, this set of operations had already been taken advantage of by the marketing team. The small composition would lay the groundwork during the preparation period and continue until the end of the publicity period. The hook and reward could be repeated a thousand times, which is definitely better than the script of the main film. Even more bizarre.

Even if the friends and businessmen don't take action, the filmmakers will end up themselves. The traffic attracted by self-defeating is also traffic, right?

The crew of "Mulan" didn't have much to do about this. It was impossible to clear the set when they were on location. This was not a royal concubine's wedding in a red mansion. They could also use a curtain to surround the entire set.

Chen Yiming could only ask Xiaomei to strengthen the management of the crew and ask everyone to be as low-key as possible on the set. After filming, go back to the hotel directly and don't go out if you can.

This did not stop the paparazzi from making up stories. For example, Chen Yiming squatted in the prison cell for two days without showing his face. There were rumors on the Internet that he was not on the set at all, and that all the difficult martial arts scenes were filmed by others.

Although this statement is correct in a sense, Mr. Wu really contributed more to the martial arts scenes in "Mulan".

In any case, the atmosphere on the Dunhuang set was still not as good as the earlier one in the Imperial City. The crew was busier, more anxious, more tired, and more dull.

It’s just that Chen Yiming no longer has the energy to take care of this. He only focuses on the small area of ​​​​the monitor and the final effect of the sample.

He believes that he has done his best with these relatively objective factors such as setting, props, extras, and post-production. Only the actors' performance is a subjective variable beyond his control, and it is also the hope for further improving the quality of the film.

It is for this reason that he acquiesced and even condoned Zhang Yi's "irregularities".

In addition to Zhang Yi, Wang Jinsong, who plays Su Dingfang, has also taken the initiative to request reshoots more than once. However, as a veteran actor, the latter has a transcendent status and will not "surprise friends" too much.

Of course, there are times when the protagonist Yu Nan asks for reshoots, but mostly it’s because of her co-stars, not herself.

This also confirms the strength gap between Zhang Yi and Yu Nan from the side. The latter's performance design is more mature and confident, and rarely needs to be verified on the set.

During the filming break when Zhang Yi and Yu Rongguang were communicating, Chen Yiming repeatedly pulled the film on the monitor.

The shot just now was taken three times, and each one has obvious differences.

The first one is a decent narrative shot. Zhang Yi is the defeated general and Yu Rongguang is the powerful Khan. Although they advance the plot, they actually play their own roles.

In fact, Lao Yu cannot be blamed for this, because there was no time set aside for him to try out the role. He just acted as a superior person within his acting range according to his own understanding. In the second line, both of them made adjustments. Ugo showed his inner panic for the first time in the whole film. In the previous scenes, despite being repeatedly frustrated by the protagonist, Zhang Yi always acted confidently.

Based on Zhang Yi's opinions, Yu Rongguang accurately revealed a hint of lust and inner lust.

It is indeed good acting skills, and the emotions given by the two people were just right, which laid the foundation for He Lu's hasty escape later.

The unexpected joy was that he carried a sedan chair to Qin Zhilei who was standing next to him, so that the next moment the little girl's invitation to fight was no longer a mantis's challenge, but a duty to fight without hesitation.

Although the temperament of the play is very unique, Chen Yiming felt that there was something wrong with the taste.

This way the tone of the whole scene is downward, and the rhythm is too gentle, or too logical.

Fortunately, the actor himself realized something was wrong.

Wang Wei's request for instructions came over the intercom, and Chen Yiming replied in agreement.

The filming started again, still starting from the scene of Ugo dismounting from his horse and kneeling to apologize.

The monitors lined up in a row showed images from multiple angles of the scene.

The second monitor on the left showed a close-up of Zhang Yi. Chen Yiming noticed the change in performance style at a glance.

Zhang Yi had been holding back his acting before, probably to fit the cold temperament of the character Ugo. His facial expressions were very restrained, and he mainly relied on his eyes and eyebrows to convey emotions.

This time, Zhang Yi uncharacteristically mobilized all the muscles on his face, including the corners of his mouth, cheeks, nose, and eyebrows. The unnatural twitching revealed the character's inner uncontrollable emotions, and his outer composure was obviously on the verge of collapse.

Unlike before, where Zhang Yi's eyes conveyed inner panic through divergent eyes, this time Zhang Yi's eyes were hollow to the core.

The shell-like appearance told Chen Yiming that this person had been defeated.

Lao Yu, who took over the scene, also changed his acting method. His straight back was still straight, his eyes were blank and narrowed, looking past Ugo in front of him into the distance, as if looking directly at Tang Jun, who was approaching step by step.

After a moment, Yu Rongguang converged his eyes and looked at Qin Zhilei on his left.

"We are not defeated yet! We want to tell the people of Tang Dynasty that the warriors of the grassland are the best cavalry in the world!"

He pulled out his long sword and put it on Qin Zhilei's shoulder, "Go, kill Mulan's Tang Qi and turn defeat into victory!"

Lao Yu, who had been cooperating with Zhang Yi in "making nonsense", finally showed his true nature as a drama tyrant.

This time he not only changed his acting method, but also changed his lines, skipping the scene with Zhang Yi in front of him, and went directly to Qin Zhilei.

The drama between two grown men confused Miss Qin. This is different from what was promised. Shouldn't I take the initiative to ask for a fight?

Fortunately, Qin Zhilei also knew that the director would keep going on without saying "Ka". In a hurry, she had no time to make up her lines, so she chose the most straightforward way to deal with it.

You jump, I jump too!

She folded her right arm in front of her chest and bowed slightly. Without saying a word, she turned her horse away. She raised her sword over her head and swung it down, leaping out of the queue at the head of the horse.

The extras behind her finally waited for the agreed "secret signal", and they all rode up to follow her, forming a long cavalry dragon.

Cui Fang directed Camera 3 to pull out a long shot.

Under the close-up lens, Yu Rongguang squinted expressionlessly as he watched the grassland female general Yangchen walk away, and then he turned his horse and led the remaining cavalry in the opposite direction!

Zhang Yi climbed onto his horse and fled hastily behind Yu Rongguang.

Seamlessly switching between the end-of-life hero and the treacherous villain, Lao Yu used just two close-ups to show his broad range of roles, both good and evil.
