I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 179 Chapter One Hundred Seventy Four Are We All Mountain City People?
The topic of the press conference, of course, mainly revolves around the movie itself.

Even without Zu'er, Yang Qing would find a way to bring the topic back, so gradually, the reporters stopped asking questions about what they had.

Although I want to make troubles, I can't exhaust my resources. Besides, even if I ask in this situation, I can't ask anything, and I haven't been caught with any evidence.

Li Chenghao and Su Xiaojing were very careful in everything they did. Except for that one time with Zuer, apart from normal greetings, the two of them didn't actually show too much intimacy.

What's more, even if people in private contact can detect that the two are ambiguous, they can't think too much about it, let alone talk nonsense.

Some self-media used the stills of the set to confuse the public, but it is impossible to talk about it in person, it will only make yourself a laughing stock.

It doesn't matter to be a laughing stock. If they offend the dead side, Shanfeng Entertainment will be blacklisted, and they will lose more than they gain.

Reporters still have to rely on celebrities and crews to live, so celebrities are not willing to offend reporters, and reporters will not casually go out of their way to offend a star.

What's more, Li Chenghao has such a deep background, one can influence a large area.

Of course, I'm talking about serious reporters here, not the paparazzi who take the wrong approach.

The existence of paparazzi is actually a manifestation of people's desire to voyeurize. It is precisely because the public generally has a desire to voyeurize the privacy of celebrities that paparazzi are so popular. Until now, there are many in Europe, America and Hong Kong Island.

However, this is interdependent with the entertainment ecology. The decline of the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island has also left those paparazzi with no chance to flex their muscles.

That's another topic...

In short, this press conference slowly entered the crew's own track, and then came to an end in a harmonious question and answer.

"Okay, thank you friends from the media for being able to attend this press conference this time..."

Finally, before the time for lunch, Yang Qing announced the end of the press conference, and took advantage of the opportunity to invite these media reporters to the second floor of the hotel and prepare a reception for them.

It can also be regarded as showing their kindness to them, saying hello and asking them to say something nice.

With short hands and short mouths, news reports will have to be more or less restrained even if they want to do something. This is an underlying tacit understanding.

And the first internal meeting of their crew was about to begin.

The main thing is to assign tasks, including parkour training for the actors, familiarity with scripts and dialects. At the same time, they also need to work in groups when they go out for filming. This is more efficient, so he naturally has to arrange what they do well.

Zuer was sitting next to Li Chenghao, and when no one was paying attention, she suddenly rubbed her knee against Li Chenghao's thigh, and after attracting his attention, she leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What you just said, Is it true or not?"

"what?"

"Hmph, pretend to be stupid!" Zu'er gave him a blank look, and said, "But whether it's true or not, I'm very happy."

Li Chenghao was a little confused. He didn't know what sentence she was referring to, whether it was true or not.

Thinking back, what I just said was just a scene, is there anything that could cause her to misunderstand?

Or did she figure it out on her own?
But now he can't care about Zuer's confusion for the time being, because Yang Qing is calling him: "Cheng Hao, look over here, is there any problem?"

Li Chenghao knew that he was letting him take charge of the cast. Although there were seniors here and big brothers like Zhang Wei, after all, Li Chenghao was a serious employer representative and the leading actor, so there was no problem.

So after hesitating for a while, he also nodded without refusing.

When Yang Qing left, the producer had to go with him. Naturally, Li Chenghao had the final decision-making power, but Zhang Wei and the two old seniors could assist, and Li Chenghao could also listen to other people's opinions.

Everyone is an old man. Even Li Chenghao is now the third crew. With experience, he is no longer a pure rookie. In fact, as long as each of them does their duty well, there is not much trouble to worry about.

Many times the crew's troubles come from external interference, or from people with some small ideas inside who stir up conflicts for their own purposes.

But for the time being, there should be no such people here. Everyone is driven by common interests, and even if there are some small conflicts, they can be put aside for the time being.

"That's about it. I guess we'll be back in half a month at the most. By then, your side should be pretty much the same. Then we'll meet here and start filming. Are there any other questions?"

After Yang Qing finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhang Wei raised his hand and tapped him.

Zhang Wei opened his mouth but said with a smile: "Can we just use Shancheng dialect in our future meetings? I'm afraid it's not good to use Mandarin."

Yang Qing froze for a moment, and it took him a while to figure out what he meant.

Because his words were spoken in a dialect, and he couldn't say the standard, but he could barely understand it, but he felt a little unaccustomed to it.

Because I always feel that it is a Northeast person speaking the mountain dialect...

I have to say that the Northeast accent is really too magical. If you also speak Mandarin, it is really easy to be misled while speaking.

Besides Li Chenghao and Ding Xiaoying, the main actors in the crew also have two veteran actors from Baodao. The others are all from the north. It is indeed difficult to speak the southern dialect.

Yang Qing himself is a native of the mountain city, and he is familiar with the crew of this set of shoots, so there must be no problem in communicating in dialects.

"Your suggestion is very good, but will it be a little difficult to communicate like this?"

Li Chenghao smiled and said: "It's okay, you will get used to it after listening to it, and it can also save time for practicing dialect by the way."

Yang Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

That's right, except for those idiots who really can't learn anything, learning this language is actually not that difficult if you can create a good speaking environment, and if you have your own willingness.

And Yang Qing also thought that this is also a good opportunity to cultivate everyone's relationship and tacit understanding.

Although most of them belong to the same company, they may not have much time to communicate with each other, and the same company may not necessarily mean the same interests. Everyone has their own thoughts.

If we can get everyone to unite as one, then maybe we can get twice the result with half the effort.

After that, I explained some trivial things, and then I was about to separate.

After everyone went back to the hotel to rest, those who should leave should leave, and those who should start training would start training.

However, Li Chenghao and the others started parkour training immediately, because the professional team they invited had not yet arrived, so Zhang Wei, the boss of the company, suggested that everyone hold a tea party together and communicate directly in dialect.

I started with some simple language games, and then I started to speak lines and tell my own biography, which is equivalent to a small script seminar.

The two seniors, Jin Shijie and Li Liqun, did not participate, but they also watched from the side.

They play the people who come from Wanwan. They can be regarded as acting in their true colors, and they don't need to practice dialects, but they still accompany them and watch the young people play, which is quite interesting.

After all, apart from the two of them, Zhang Wei, the oldest one present, was only 34 years old. Li Chenghao, Ding Xiaoying and Zuer were all born in the [-], and Wanyi was also wandering around in the [-]. They were indeed a very young group.

"The character Qu Mingjing I played this time is a fantasy-loving local otaku in a mountain city. He likes to read online novels and neon light novels and anime, so he is considered two-dimensional.

"He likes to fantasize about his city and even the world when it is in crisis, and then he becomes a savior to save the world, just like those described in novels and anime. But in fact he is just a waste wood, with no ability, Can only gnaw old.

"He also has a bad relationship with his family. He lives on his parents' pension, but he doesn't want to make progress. His parents hope that he can go out to find a job and be independent, but he is always impatient and only asks them for money... "

To be honest, judging from the initial character design of the protagonist, I believe many people will not like this protagonist.

But for movies, if the characters are not extreme, how can they be reversed and how can they grow.

This movie is obviously a process of subversion and "evolution" of the protagonist, but the ending is also somewhat unexpected.

In the end, everything is the main character's fantasy, or did it really happen, and he has changed the world?

Of course, although the biggest label on the protagonist is "otaku", they will not label the protagonist as an otaku, nor will they simply define him as a nerd.

Otherwise, it may offend some groups in the audience. After all, it is too easy to be led into rhythm these days. If you are disgusted, that would be a big loss.

So Li Chenghao's idea of ​​how to play this role is not to stick to any of them, but to highlight his own personality flaws and bad things, such as being lazy, like shirking responsibility, and so on.

But when the end of the world he was looking forward to actually came, he quickly grew into a real hero, and even his character took a 180-degree turn.

And whether this is the real him or just the imaginary him will not be revealed until the end.

Is there an unknown side under the hero's coat, or is it because of the desire to become a hero that the reversed personality is shown?

In short, this is the biggest highlight of this role, and it is also a difficult point when Li Chenghao plays it. Even Liang Chao directly asked him to interpret this as two roles.

"Just treat him as a pair of twins with very different personalities. We all know that twins are similar in many ways, but they may be completely opposite in personality..."

He gave such an example, and Li Chenghao understood it all at once, because from the perspective of the script, this is still a person in essence, just two sides of a person, isn't this just like some characteristics of twins?
"I have a question!"

Since it is a script discussion, everyone's research on the characters must of course be presented for everyone to have a look at, and they can also raise different opinions.

The same script can look and feel different to different people.

Yang Qing planned to put this seminar to a later date, but now they have moved forward, which can be regarded as establishing a tacit understanding first.

Sometimes, let the actors in the opposite play know what you want to express first, so that perhaps during the performance, you can rely on the efforts of the two to achieve that state, which can avoid sometimes when your personal state is not good.

It was Wan Yi who raised the question, and she was also a junior in the company, but she was considered a senior in front of Li Chenghao, even older than him.

Of course Li Chenghao would not be angry, he smiled and said, "You said..."

"This character, if he just blindly showed his badness in the early stage, although the later reversal may have more impact, it may also bring a sense of disobedience to the audience. Is it appropriate to add some places that may also shine , is this better?"

It took Li Chenghao some time to understand what he meant, after all, he was talking in Shancheng dialect now.

Li Chenghao felt that what he said was pretty good. After all, he had practiced for a long time before, and he almost forgot to sleep and eat. However, they only started to contact after they passed the audition and the role was confirmed, so it would naturally be worse.

But it seems that he has also put in effort, and his talent is probably not bad, so he has learned well.

Of course, this is not the point. Li Chenghao thought for a while and smiled: "But according to my understanding, I divided this script into three sections. Have you noticed that in these three sections, apart from the protagonist, the characters of other people also have different personalities? More or less changed?"

Everyone has naturally discovered this, but they also want to hear whether Li Chenghao has a unique opinion on this.

Li Chenghao smiled, and in the eyes of everyone, he continued to use his gradually familiar dialect: "Is there such a possibility? This actually indicates that the protagonist has three different perspectives, one is from his own eyes, and the other is from the perspective of the protagonist." One is in his dream, and the other is in reality?"

In fact, you can directly ask Yang Qing, the creator of the script, this kind of question.

But sometimes the creator's intention may be to deliberately confuse, so that the audience and even the actors may not be able to tell the difference.

It's not to make a fuss, but it can increase some sense of suspense and increase the appeal of the story.

Anyway, if you really want to ask Yang Qing, Yang Qing will probably just smile and say nothing.

Even if we talk about the scene during filming, we will not directly explain it to Li Chenghao, but will guide him to find a certain state.

Of course, if Li Chenghao's own understanding can satisfy the director, maybe he will directly adopt his method.

After listening to Li Chenghao's words, everyone first understood the meaning, and then began to think.

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If you have any different opinions, you can also raise them. But I think it's better to try the effect first and see which one is more tense?"

Dramatic tension can't explain anything, but based on the script, actors and directors must pursue more tense plots.
