Chapter 108 The plot that will not be cut
Although Hong Shen gave Ruan Lingyu a bad review, he would not be angry with the little girl, but was very dissatisfied with Lin Zixuan.
To be honest, Lin Zixuan was not sure. It was difficult to explain his acting skills. Some may be talent, but more of them are acquired cultivation and training.
This is the difference between a talented actor and a diligent actor.
Lin Zixuan has watched the movie about Ruan Lingyu's life. Ruan Lingyu's success in her acting career should be the result of a combination of innate talent and acquired efforts.
At this time, she can play the role of little things, and I wonder if she can grasp the essence of the character.
However, as a time traveler, what Lin Zixuan is proud of is his forward-looking vision.
He would never admit that his vision was wrong, so even if Hong Shen was not very satisfied with Ruan Lingyu, he still looked confident.
Instead of letting Ruan Lingyu perform at the beginning, he took her to watch the crew's shooting and told her about the content of the script "Sunrise".
When lunch was about to eat, a famous drama business suddenly ran over to report to Lin Zixuan.
"Mr. Lin, the actor who originally played the little thing suddenly became ill and could not perform." The drama official said anxiously.
"Is there no one else to choose?" Lin Zixuan asked unhappily after being interrupted to eat.
"Other actors and directors who meet the age are not satisfied, what do you think?" the drama manager asked for instructions.
"Then let's find it again, just the only one with his surname Hong is hard to take care of." Lin Zixuan said angrily, "I only look at the result. Don't come to me for this little thing."
"Yes, the director lets you solve it." The drama is in a difficult situation.
"What? Then what do I do to hire him for?" Lin Zixuan said angrily, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll talk to him later."
The drama with superb acting skills retreated, while Lin Zixuan frowned and continued to play the role of a vicious boss.
Ruan Lingyu was eating lunch happily, but she didn't expect to encounter such an emergency. Looking at Lin Zixuan's worried look, she became cautious.
She wanted to say something, but she felt that she was not qualified to participate in such a big event, and she looked like she wanted to speak but stopped.
Lin Zixuan was waiting for Ruan Lingyu's question, and he just took the opportunity to ask Ruan Lingyu to try to play the role of a little thing, so that he could be seamless.
But Ruan Lingyu was having dinner silently, occasionally looking at him with her big eyes, but she just didn't say anything.
"By the way, have you ever learned to perform in girls' school?" In the end, Lin Zixuan had to continue the show by himself.
Generally, girls' schools have music and dance courses, and sometimes stage performances are performed.
Ruan Lingyu is an isolated member in Chongde Girls' School. Even if she performs on stage, she is a passerby and cannot be ranked as the protagonist at all. However, she studied the course very seriously, but she just lacked confidence.
The girl nodded weakly.
"Then do you want to act in a movie?" Lin Zixuan tempted slowly.
He felt like the ferocious wolf grandmother in a fairy tale, about to attack the innocent and cute little Red Riding Hood.
Ruan Lingyu was hesitant. She wanted to help Lin Zixuan solve the problem. After all, Lin Zixuan was very nice to her, but she was worried that she would not be able to act well and disappoint Lin Zixuan.
She didn't expect that this was arranged by Lin Zixuan. Even if the girl was precocious, she had never had much contact with society.
"If you want to, try it. Even if the performance is not good, it doesn't matter." Lin Zixuan explained, "Just like what we saw in the morning, there are a few people talking together."
Ruan Lingyu secretly gave Lin Zixuan a blank look. She was not an ignorant girl and needed to coax her like this.
She knew that it was not as simple as speaking, that was chanting lines. She had learned acting classes at school.
At the same time, she had something similar to ambition in her heart that was like grass, and she could become a big star when acting.
The Miss Yin she met in the morning was a graduate of the Chinese and Western girls' schools. She has now become a big star in Shanghai and is very popular in the upper class.
If I could be like her...
With such thoughts, Ruan Lingyu agreed in a daze and came to the crew to receive Hong Shen's interview in the afternoon.
She knew that the director was very strict. In the morning, an actor said the wrong line and was scolded by the director. She felt a little nervous and her hand holding the script was a little shaking.
At this time, something else emerged from her character.
I want to succeed, become a big star, and don’t live the poor life I used to be.
The character Xiaodian has something in common with Ruan Lingyu. When her father passed away, the mother and daughter were in Shanghai without any relatives and no reason, and were lonely and helpless. If she had not relied on her mother as servants, she would have fallen into the situation of Xiaodian.
Thinking of those days that were so unbearable to look back on in my memory, a feeling of sorrow surged in my heart.
Hong Shen observed Ruan Lingyu from the side.
The girl was a little nervous when she looked at the script, but after a few minutes, a sad expression suddenly appeared on the girl's originally expressionless face, pitiful and pityful.
The big eyes were filled with tears and a lonely look.
It is this kind of charm, and this is exactly the little thing he is looking for.
So amazing!
Hong Shen admired Lin Zixuan at this moment. Where did he find a performance genius from?
Lin Zixuan was stunned by the side. He was also an actor who played "Shanghai Holiday", but compared with Ruan Lingyu's performance at this moment, his performance was considered inequality.
It can be seen that superb performances often come from life.
After meeting Hong Shen's request, Lin Zixuan left Ruan Lingyu here to accept Hong Shen's performance guidance, and he came to the post-production workshop of "Tianmen Hero Huo Yuanjia".
The main job is to edit the film.
This movie can be said to be the pioneering work of the celebrity film company. Lin Zixuan attaches great importance to it. The Jingwu Sports Association also sent someone to guide martial arts, which is quite outstanding in martial arts scenes.
Especially in the arena competition, Lin Zixuan drew a little from the martial arts effects of later generations, making Huo Yuanjia fly up.
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it looks very effective and makes people excited.
The only thing to consider is the handling of the cause of Huo Yuanjia's death. If you don't want to cause controversy, you must remove the plot about Japanese doctors. This is also what Chen Gongzhe means.
Because once this plot is found, it is implying that the Japanese poisoned Huo Yuanjia, but there is no evidence for this matter and there is always controversy. If the Japanese protest, the movie is likely to be banned in the concession.
Lin Zixuan considered this issue and decided to keep this plot.
He made a movie, not a documentary, so he didn't care about the evidence. As a time traveler, he still had this responsibility and he was not afraid of Japanese protests.
In this era, there is no film censorship system in the concession, as long as the theater is willing to screen. If it really causes too bad effects, the concession authorities will ban the screening of movies.
It doesn’t matter. The concession will not allow it to be released, so Lin Zixuan can go to the Huajie to show it.
Such positive movies cannot be screened just because of the Japanese protests. Moreover, the Japanese are not as powerful as that in Shanghai, and the French concession may not necessarily give the Japanese face.
