Who are you calling powerful?

magic city, studio

An important scene of the whole movie, that is, the "meeting room" of the script seminar for everyone in the plot.

The interior scenes of "Being Famous" are all freshly built. Although the plot is somewhat superficial, a lot of research has been done.

Fuhuadao is biased towards the style of the magic capital of the Republic of China in the mid-to-late 1940s. Of course, some adjustments have been made to make it more in line with modern perceptions. After all, this is not a historical theme, so there is no need to be too serious.

The crew had just started shooting, Wei Yang didn't shoot directly, but held a script meeting all morning, and then left the show in the afternoon with makeup on, everyone touched each other to find out how they felt.

In a secret room group scene like "Rising Fame", several scenes are fixed, and because it is on the same day, there is no need to change costumes and props, and there is no need for various transitions, which will greatly save shooting time.

So Wei Yang is not in a hurry to start filming immediately, and plans to let the actors find their status first.

There are not many young actors in this group, and some of them are at the level of drama. As long as the character status is found correctly, the filming will go very smoothly.

The actors changed their costumes and walked around for a while. Although the camera was on, there were no specific requirements, and everyone was free to play.

Ning Hao, who has not yet left, is acting as the director for the time being. Wei Yang changed the costumes and silently observed the main creators.

Fatty Wang was wearing a fancy suit. He was clean-shaven, had a greasy hair comb, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a refined scum and a greasy philistine.

Uncle Ge wore a top hat and a mustache on his upper lip. He was dressed as a gentleman, with a kind and hypocritical smile on his face, putting on a tune.

Wu Jing was wearing a Tang suit for practicing exercises, but he was wearing sunglasses and a cowhide belt. He combined Chinese and Western styles, and his face was proud and upright.

Duan Long had an unshaven beard and a calm expression, but Lin Gengxin next to him was a little nervous, revealing a clear stupidity, and glanced at Fan Xiaopang from time to time.

Fan Xiaopang was wearing a blue and red cheongsam with a pearl necklace. He had a graceful figure and beautiful makeup. He was playing with cigarettes and lighters, and his every move was sexy and charming.

Jiang Wu wore a mandarin jacket with a long gown, an emerald ring on his hand, a gold watch chain on his chest, and a pipe in his hand.

As for Wei Yang, his clothes are the most inconspicuous, even sloppy.

The half-length hair is fluffy and casually combed from the back of the head, with a slight stubble, and he wears wide-rimmed glasses. His skin has also been painted a few shades of dark yellow, and he has also been adjusted through makeup technology to make his face look rounder than before. Some, the clothes are bulky and rustic, and some are worn out, and their standing and sitting postures are very casual.

It can be clearly seen that Wei Yang is trying his best to look ugly, but even so, his appearance is still the most eye-catching among all the male stars.

"Uh, it still doesn't work."

Wei Yang looked at the comparison between him and the other leading actors, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"Damn it, it's so handsome and also worrying."

"..."

Fatty Wang: Lost, if I want to have this pretty face, what about Runfa, Dehua, and Chaowei in the Xiangjiang film industry?

Uncle Ge: Get used to it, be normal

Wu Jing: Wei Yang has to rely on his face to pick up girls, how can he learn by himself?

Lin Gengxin: If I were the boss, my online name would be Jiuyi Girl's Dream

Fan Xiaopang: No, the room card must be obtained, and you will see it when you see it. Don't you want the actors to talk to the director + screenwriter about the script?

Wei Yang, who was depressed, could only discuss with Ning Hao to change the script, and added lines like "I'm so handsome, I don't want to be an actor or a reporter" and "I don't want to rely on my face, but rely on my talent". The connotation is a wave of vase queens.

Compared with the original version, "Rising Fame" has found so many big names, so it is natural to play with the actors' personal stalks.

Fatty Wang is the most obvious, because he was originally based on him, so there are memes everywhere. He invited him to join, and he also took the initiative to add a bad movie to the role. Grandpa's self-deprecating stalk of "can't play".

Uncle Ge's bald head was also added, for example, a hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and wearing a top hat in the movie is to cover up his weakness of hair loss.

However, Wei Yang pays more attention to it. It is not a nonsensical comedy after all.

Once the modeling and script are determined, the actors start to act!

One of the fun things about "Rise of Fame" is that there are a lot of group portraits, and each character has its own characteristics. They have some hatred for each other, cynicism, but they are not bad guys, so it is very lively.

…

Uncle Ge's [Outdated Old Drama Bone] is carrying a pack of small pastries, looking lightly at the small bag on the conference table, and inquiring about it with [Bad Movie King Director] played by Fatty Wang.

"Mr. Lu said that a popular actress is coming, right?"

Fatty Wang looked playful: "Who does Teacher Guan think it is?"

Although he is from Xiangjiang, he speaks standard Mandarin, and his character is set as a Cantonese, so a slight accent is not a problem.

Uncle Ge fell into thought: "Xu Xiaofeng?"

Fatty Wang shook his head, and Uncle Ge guessed again: "Zhou Lili, ouch, there's nothing to say about the popularity of the audience now."

Seeing [Vase Queen] Fan Xiaopang who had already entered the door, Fatty Wang kindly reminded: "Have you forgotten Mengdie?"

"Su Mengdie, is she the only one?"

Uncle Ge looked disdainful, and then saw Fan Xiaopang behind him through the lens that Fatty Wang deliberately leaned over, his voice was a little fluttering.

"If she could..."

Turning around, he saw Fan Xiaopang, with a bright smile, and his voice raised, like Mr. Tang who saw a diamond, he came over attentively to make amends: "Then it's no one else's business, oh, Mengdie, that's great, you really came gone."

Fan Xiaopang sat down gracefully, without even needing to act, on the surface he was friendly, but his tone of yin and yang came out.

"Teacher Guan, I have let you down."

"That's what I said, I'm looking forward to your comeback, just come back, what does Xiangjiang have to do?"

"What you're saying is, if you don't come here, you will be in the honor of Director Zheng."

Fatty Wang held the handle of the chair behind Fan Xiaopang, with a greasy and wretched smile, acting in his true colors.

"Mengdie, I only let you stick."

Although there was no shot of Wei Yang in this segment, he didn't look at the monitor either. Instead, he sat in his seat to match the scene, but his eyes never left the performance of the three of them.

Needless to say, Uncle Ge is very good at this old-fashioned role, and he handles it just right.

Although I feel that Master Tang is a bit similar, but it can also make people clearly distinguish, with a certain degree of relaxation, which can be described as flowing.

Although Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are not as powerful as International Zhang and Zhou Gongzi, they are not bad in themselves. This kind of Huadan who is at odds with her colleagues in the entertainment industry is her daily life, not to mention how lively she is.

Strictly speaking, Fatty Wang should have the worst acting skills, since he is not a professional actor after all.

But in fact, he started filming very early, and often made guest appearances, even starring roles, and his acting experience is not inferior to some of the main creators.

Although most of the roles are clowns who are shitty clowns or villains who can fat mantis, there is no depth and difficulty, but the more you act, the more solid your basic skills will be.

Not to mention that he is a veteran comedy director himself, has worked with countless comedy bigwigs, and is good at digging out comedy elements. The role of [Bad Movie King Director] is a greasy philistine, but he is a bit lovable and funny.

And most importantly, this role is tailor-made for him, and most of the scenes can be played in their true colors, naturally and vividly.

Another point is that several of the main creators of the original "Rising Fame" are drama actors, such as the original actors Yu Entai and Yang Haoyu in the roles of Fatty Wang and Uncle Ge, and the original actor Chen Minghao in the original "Down and Out Tycoon".

These few have been rooted in the drama stage all the year round, and their acting skills are undeniable, but in this kind of secret room drama, the performance inevitably has some drama stage flavor.

And Wei Yang used mostly film and television actors this time, so the drama style is not as heavy as the original version.

The plot and lines have not changed, but the performance is more natural and realistic, relatively more restrained, consciously matching the camera and the environment, and more detailed close-up processing.

This is not to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of drama and film and television performance styles, but Wei Yang is shooting movies, so naturally he hopes to fit the film and television style.

After that, several other people also appeared on the stage one after another, revealing the background and forming an interaction with each other's conflicts. Finally, the boss came out to press the stage and named the theme.

"Who is leaving?"

With a pipe in his mouth, Jiang Wu pouted, walked in four directions, greeted everyone, all the main creators came, and started the following plot.

It took only two hours to complete the film, and the scenes in this scene lasted about thirty to forty minutes, but the shooting may take more than ten days or even longer.

Even if it was just an informal filming audition, it took a full day, and there were still many scattered problems that had not been resolved.

But the general direction is there, and the actors have found some feeling, and the remaining problems can be solved slowly during the official shooting.

After work was over at night, Wei Yang watched the film recorded today. He was satisfied with the wonderful performance of the actors and felt pressured at the same time.

It was only after he started acting that he realized that he was probably the one whose acting skills were ranked lower among the main creators of "Rising Fame".

As a director, he found a group of excellent actors!

As an actor, he met a group of "cattle"!

Fortunately, the role of screenwriter he played is not too difficult to perform.

Stubborn, unsophisticated, old-fashioned and serious, pursuing justice, jealous of evil, bold and careful, etc., is a very typical decent character.

Compared with other mixed black and white characters, this character is consistent. As long as the characteristics of the character are grasped, Wei Yang dare not say that his performance is more brilliant, at least it will not hold back the crew.

So while feeling the pressure, Wei Yang was also a little bit excited.

In fact, he hasn't performed in such a high-pressure state for a long time, and there is pressure to make progress.

Today is the end of work, and Wei Yang has gained a lot. He wanted to go back and sort out the biography of the characters, but this girl Fan Xiaopang insisted on pestering him for the room card.

Boss Wei sternly refused and refuted it. My buddy is striving for an acting career, but you want to consume my physical strength and energy and make me indulge in pornography and carnal desire. How can you become an actor in the future?

Fan Xiaopang was severely criticized by Wei Yang. Wei Yang did not want to leave his room card, but kept his own room card.

Boss Wei hesitated for a moment, but still put away her room card.

Performing arts requires hard work, but in everything you have to pay attention to a balance between work and rest...
