Become a dramatist from today

When Huang Baiyou returned to Twin Peaks, he had completed [Familiar with the plot background], [Visited the descendants of the character's prototype], and [Recited his own and opponent's lines], and received three rewards. He was almost finished learning Lao Xiang dialect.

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

After returning to the hotel and placing ice water on the table, Huang Baiyou took a deep breath and entered Xiao Tu's emotional fragments...

Let’s diverge and talk about another matter of great concern. After several meetings, the casting results for “Shadow” were finally discussed.

The meeting staff naturally included Lao Tu, Pei Wen, and Yuan Xiangshi, as well as the screenwriter, assistant director, producer, and art director. It was almost the same as a large-scale script reading without actors.

In a war of words, Lao Tu and Yuan Xiangshi supported Huang Baiyou.

The director prefers Li Dongdong. It's not that Huang Baiyou's audition performance was not good. The actors who came to audition were all good. It's just that Li Dongdong is more in line with Pei Wen's aesthetics.

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

"Lao Pei, you have forgotten that your request is not something that ordinary actors can fulfill." Lao Tu said, "First, you get strong and play the role of the heroic Jingzhou, and then lose weight in a short period of time and play the skinny governor Tzuyu, you can handle it. How many people in the entertainment industry have reached this point?”

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 you are willing, but whether you 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 war god in the film, so he decided directly and then hired him to serve as the examiner for free.

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

[Tzuyu/Jingzhou: Huang Baiyou

Aiqiao: Zhou Weijie

King Pei: Li Dongdong

Zhang Cang: Master Yuan Xiang

Liu Xiang: Guan Qing

Lu Zhisu: Bao Ying]

"Has the filming location been set up?" Pei Wen paid attention to the progress.

Originally, the crew was planning to go to the Seoul Film and Television Shooting Base in Zaoyang, but after the on-site inspection, Pei Wen felt that it did not meet his aesthetic sense, so he planned to build a new building complex.

What kind of beauty? Pei Wen wanted to use "Shadow" to restore China's ink-and-wash landscape, and he wanted to make every frame of the movie into an ink-and-wash painting. His ambition was very high, so the architectural requirements were very high.

The operation of making a movie and setting up a film and television base is a bit outrageous, but for a great director like Pei Wen, who can leverage so much capital, and even the local government is willing to cooperate, it 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 year ends with the new calendar, the construction progress will be very difficult," Lao Tu said. "If the year ends with the old calendar, the construction schedule will be within time."

"I want to start shooting in December," Peiwen said.

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

"December is the most suitable month to start the production. Spring will start in February." Pei Wen said.

"The construction is too fast and it is unsafe. No matter how fast it is, it will not be completed until the end of December." Lao Tu said, "Let's respect the construction team."

Tu Pei started arguing again. Both the assistant director and the art director were used to it. As soon as they started filming, the two people would 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 want to start filming in December, and I don't care about the rest."

Pei Wen is a bit willful.

The good news could not be delivered to the parties involved because Pei Wen's studio had not sent any news yet, and Huang Baiyou was in an emotional state of confusion.

He experienced Xiao Tu's emotions, and the impact on his own emotions was more severe than Huang Baiyou expected.

When entering Xiao Tu's mood, Huang Baiyou seemed to calmly watch himself walking deeper into the lake step by step. 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 moved forward, he had to endure unspeakable suffocation.

Not knowing how deep the lake was, Huang Baiyou couldn't see the way forward, and Xiao Tu had no way out.

"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 displayed 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 shown, the audience will definitely be depressed while watching the drama. Coupled with the plot itself... it may lead to low ratings.

In literary creation, writers often use short or joking descriptions of very sad plots. If they are too heavy, it will really affect the viewing of the movie.

To do it or not to do it?

Huang Baiyou called Zhou Xilin. Brother Zhou was more suitable to answer his question due to his age and acting skills.

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

How does Zhou Xilin feel? It felt like a college student was suddenly asked about the Riemann Hypothesis.

"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. Should I act more realistically? This question is very important to me. It's too early to tell." Zhou Xilin replied.

"But I know someone who can explain your confusion." After Zhou Xilin said this, he fell silent again.

The one who won’t say is Su Fuguang who cheated on him. There’s no need for that. Huang Baiyou said, “Brother Zhou, I’ll think about it myself.”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Baiyou thought that the essence of this choice was the core of performance, "care about public aesthetics", "or care more about one's own expression" and "authenticity".

The truth is the self-summary of the expresser, just like the despair Huang Baiyou saw is also a summary of emotional fragments, so the truth is integrated into its own expression.

Some people may say that as long as the performance is good, the public will definitely like it, and that is certainly true. Huang Baiyou has now passed the "good" stage. If he wants to reach a better point, should he reduce the emotion to make the audience more comfortable, or should he still insist on it?

This question was too profound. Huang Baiyou tried another solution. Why was Xiao Tu still able to persist when it was so uncomfortable?

Huang Baiyou's goal is to get the reward from the fourth mission.

[Reward: The light before dawn

Details: It is darkest before dawn, but some people can always 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 show despair, but also show why I can survive." Huang Baiyou wanted to understand.

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

Brother Zhou: [The answer I asked 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 yourself, because the actor's own expression can It's the light of art." The specific method is up to you. ]
