China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 734 Improvisational Scene

Liu Yifei felt sorry for her best friend because she saw how miserable she had been in recent years, so she asked Li Yu if he could arrange a role for her best friend.

Li Yu asked at that time who was this best friend?
After getting the reply "Shu Chang", he agreed without hesitation.

Shanu, a Chinese-brand mobile phone manufactured in 2060 AD, is the goddess of countless people.

Which of the middle school boys who have watched "Magic Phone" has not imagined what it would be like to own a silly phone?

For this reason, Li Yu thought that he could arrange a role for Shu Chang.

What’s more, Shu Chang is Liu Yifei’s best friend, and her acting skills are also good, so she easily beats Liu Yifei.

It's just a pity that Shu Chang made himself a nobody when he went to study at the Foreign Languages ​​College.

This is nothing. The fact that Shu Chang was admitted to the Foreign Languages ​​College proves that her cultural level is better than that of the illiterate people in the circle.

Moreover, she was able to enter the Foreign Languages ​​College while filming.

If she were not an actress and put all her energy into studying, she would definitely be a top student.

There is nothing wrong with liking to learn.

It is possible to save yourself from obscurity. Although it is difficult, there is still hope of becoming popular again.

However, Shu Chang mistakenly thought that everyone liked internet celebrity faces, so she lost her unique beauty and replaced it with a cookie-cutter internet celebrity face, which is very regrettable.

After becoming an internet celebrity, she basically has no hope of becoming popular again.

If a star wants to be famous, recognizability is very important and the face must be memorable.

Such a pity that such a beautiful actress with good acting skills should have had a bright future.

After completing the final work on "Dream of Splendor", Liu Yifei and Li Muge returned to the capital together.

When she was talking to Li Yu about "Mulan", she asked about her best friend Shu Chang. She asked: "Can I share some of my highlights with Chang Chang? She is so out of date. I hope her career can get better."

Li Yu shook his head: "Aren't you being difficult? She was originally very smart, very recognizable, and had good acting skills. But she turned herself into a featureless internet celebrity. What do you want me to do?"

Liu Yifei then said, "Don't you make anyone famous by supporting him?"

Li Yu complained: "You believe what the media and netizens say. It's not that whoever I promote will become famous. It's that I see that those people have the potential to become famous, so I promote them.

Even if you bring Liu Dehua and Zhou Runfa, who were 20 years old, to the present, I can still make them famous.

If we hand them over to other directors, they can also become famous as long as the director and the script are good."

A piece of good material can only be carved into a work of art when it is handed over to an experienced master sculptor.

For a piece of poor material, let alone a work of art, it would be good enough if it can conceal its flaws and highlight its merits.

Shu Chang's only advantage now is his good acting skills.

If people with good acting skills can become famous, then there wouldn’t be so many veteran actors without roles to play.

Liu Yifei felt that what Li Yu said made a lot of sense. She was a little reluctant to accept this fact: "Is it true that I can't become popular again just by singing?"

"It's really difficult. You are her best friend. Didn't she tell you before she had the surgery? Why didn't you persuade her? She used to be pretty and recognizable, but she had to make herself look ugly." Li Yu sighed regretfully.

"She told me, I advised her to calm down and think it over carefully, but she didn't listen." Liu Yifei was also helpless.

Shu Chang is an independent adult, and she is just Shu Chang’s good friend.

Forget about best friends. Once a person makes a decision, even her own mother can’t pull her back.

Especially for someone like Shu Chang, everyone advised her to get into Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, which would be very helpful for her acting career, but she just didn't listen.

“I now realize that it makes sense that you two can become close best friends. You are, really, very alike.

When Shu Chang makes important decisions in life, he is just like you who are choosing scripts. You are a collection of wrong questions, and you can always help everyone filter out the wrong answers accurately. "Li Yu commented sharply.

"..."

Liu Yifei was furious.

She clearly didn't hear a single swear word, but she felt that there were no swear words in the world that were dirtier and more hurtful than these.

She really wanted to refute, but when she opened her mouth she found something stuck in her throat.

Because she found that although Li Yu's words were hurtful, he was actually just revealing what she and Shu Chang had done.

The reason why she felt like someone was poking her lungs was because Li Yu touched her pain point.

"Okay, forget about your bestie, and think about how you can play the role of Hua Mulan first.

It is true that Shu Chang is out of date, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and she is better than 90% of the people in the circle.

Besides, the money she earns is enough for her to spend for the rest of her life, so even if she retires now, it won’t affect her quality of life.”

Li Yu said.

Shu Chang makes people feel sorry for her, but forget about empathizing with her, especially for ordinary people, who don’t need to empathize with a once-popular star.

No matter how obscure Shu's singing is, he is still better than those third-tier stars.

Although he cannot get good resources, he still earns many times more than the average person in a year.

As he spoke, Li Yu took out a pile of papers.

That’s right, it was a pile of his carefully edited “Mulan” scripts, plus copies of nearly 800 hand-drawn storyboard drawings.

There is generally no need for actors to read storyboard manuscripts, as they are usually text scripts.

But Li Yu decided to feed Liu Yifei to the end and helped him put the food into his mouth.

Li Yu knew that her acting skills were average, so he showed her a complete set of storyboards so that she could see the shooting effects in advance, what scenes the director wanted, and how she should act in each scene.

In addition to these, she can also know the details such as the actors' movements and camera settings in advance.

If you encounter some rigid actors, asking them to look at storyboards may have the opposite effect.

He knows what kind of picture and effect the director wants, and has a preconceived notion in his mind, thinking that it is enough to act like what is in the storyboard, which can easily limit the actor's imagination and space for self-development.

There are many classic scenes that are not actually written in the script, nor drawn in the storyboards.

It is the actors' rich imagination and ability to improvise that bring out the best in the audience.

For example, Mr. Hou’s dialogue in “In the Name” was very well connected, and this line was the finishing touch.

And in "The Silence of the Lambs", Antonie Hopkins often added to his own scenes.

In the conversation between Hannibal and the heroine, he said that a census taker once wanted to test him, so he ate the other person's liver with broad beans.

After finishing his lines, he improvised a weird and scary scream.

His acting skills were so good that the actress was scared so much that she couldn't tell whether she was in the play or outside of it. To put it in plain words, she was stunned.

However, the director thought this segment was very good, and it portrayed the psychological abnormality of the perverted cannibal very well, so he kept it in the feature film.

Of course, for the big guys, having a preconceived notion may limit their self-expression.

Liu Yifei wouldn't have to worry about such things, because she wasn't allowed to see the storyboards, so she wasn't allowed to have preconceived notions, and she couldn't improvise famous scenes.
