Chapter 62 Role Analysis
From a pure director's perspective, Xu Jinglei's directorial skills are really not very good.
In the industry for more than 20 years, she has acted in dozens of works and made many movies. Whether it is art films or art films, the most rated one is her first work, "Dad and Me"
But to be honest, that movie has little to do with Xu Jinglei, and the big guys in the circle help each other. Wang Shuo is the screenwriter, and Ye Daying is the male lead himself, teaching the whole process, and Jiang Wen also played the role in it...
The subsequent "Letter from a Stranger Woman" or "Which Dream Is Turned into Reality" can only be considered a relatively mediocre drama.
Of course, compared with the bad movies that are full of bad movies on the market, although Lao Xu's movies cannot avoid the problem of narrow vision, at least they are better at the delicate feelings.
However, after she switched to commercial films, a lot of problems began to be exposed.
"Dulala's Promotion", "Intimate Enemy" and "Kidnapper", the plot is a bit chaotic without exception. The most direct reason for the plot is that the director loses the ability to control the rhythm of the film. A director who cannot control his own film rhythm is definitely not a good director!
Especially commercial films.
This is also the fundamental reason why more and more people think that Lao Xu is not suitable to be a director.
Originally, Xu Hui felt that Lao Xu should be competent for directorial work like "33 Days of Love Breakup".
It seems he is thinking too much!
Isn’t it over to shoot according to the script?
...
Lao Xu is a woman and a female director.
There are few women in the director group. On the one hand, men have a broader view of the overall situation than women, which is often contrary to the original characteristics of women who are bound by details and lose the overall situation.
On the other hand, men are better at using technology than women. A good director does not necessarily need to have solid technology as a foundation, but he must have technical imagination to promote the development of the film industry. In the field of playing with machines, men have the upper hand over women, which is a reality.
More importantly, the director is a physical job. Just talk about Xu Hui. Working for sixteen hours a day is common. Try to let a woman stand in front of the monitor for sixteen hours.
However, compared with male directors, female directors have more delicate feelings, and they are also better at thinking about problems from a female perspective.
Lao Xu's first three movies have a good review in the industry, but they all lose money.
Drama movies or movies that are too literary, the audience cannot appreciate them.
So, she needs to change and needs to cater to the market.
"33 Days of Love Break" gave her a good opportunity, but she still couldn't change her past movie style.
For example, when Huang Xiaoxian talked to Feng Jiaqi, the best friend who snatched her boyfriend, she wanted to use a more literary expression and add a few scenes where the two of them had been friendly with each other.
mmmp, Feng Jiaqi is just a supporting role, and the whole movie only has two shots. Why waste the shots for such a supporting role?
This is Xu Hui’s idea.
Unfortunately, this scene has been filmed.
According to Lao Xu's personality, he will probably cut it into a film...
The director you hired should support him even when he kneels.
Besides, the actor who plays Feng Jiaqi is Liu Sisi.
Who knows how Lao Xu hooked up with Liu Sisi, but the latter actually agreed to appear in "33 Days of Love Break".
By the way, Lu Ran is played by Huang Jiao!
It's so amazing, my ex-boyfriend hasn't let it go.
Except for the few starring actors who are not very famous, the guest appearances are all famous actors.
Lao Xu has been polishing in the circle for more than ten years, and his connections are indeed not comparable to those of a fledgling director like Xu Hui.
...
The crew transferred to the Tanghui official residence.
Damn, Lao Xu is so stupid, he is really shooting on the spot at the Tanghui official residence!
The plot is like this: Li Ke, the character played by Zheng Shuang, called Huang Xiaoxian early in the morning, and Wang Xiaojian discussed the matter about the wedding.
The two were very sleepy.
Then, Wang Xiaojian couldn't help but get angry.
The shooting time is also at 6 am...
Xu Hui got up at half past four to put on makeup, and Zhao Liying and Zheng Shuang were almost the same.
This is especially true for the staff on site, so shooting movies is really not a comfortable thing.
"The lights are a little blurry, after all, it's early morning, add two baffles."
"Are you okay?"
“action!”
The shooting officially begins.
Zhao Liying yawned, looking sleepy: "What's the matter?"
Xu Hui's expression next to him was a little bit dull.
Zheng Shuang was drinking milk tea while fucking her mouth: "Yesterday Wei Wei suddenly told me that he thought it would be very troublesome to shoot short films. What should I do? I must shoot short films!"
Zhao Liying looked at her helplessly and sniffled: "Miss Li, it's five o'clock in the morning now. You call us here, just for this?"
"I also want to go back from Tang Hui to take care of someone's face, but if this matter is not solved, I can't sleep at all..."
At this time, Xu Hui picked up the tissue on the table, blew his nose hard, looked up and looked around, as if he was not listening to Zheng Shuang.
“…”
Zheng Shuang was interrupted by Xu Hui's actions and forgot about the words for a while.
"Click!"
When something went wrong, Lao Xu decisively called for a stop.
The actors will add some small movements when performing.
Xu Hui added this paragraph intently, not only indicating that the weather is a bit cold, but also the main purpose is to lay the groundwork for the subsequent outbreak.
Zheng Shuang probably didn't expect Xu Hui to have so many actions.
“…I’m sorry, director, I forgot the words…”
Hurry up and apologize.
"Please pay attention next time!"
Lao Xu didn't say anything.
In fact, after Xu Hui came to the crew, it was obvious that the shooting was much smoother than before.
With veteran drivers leading the way, the novices are decisively getting on the road much faster.
...
Xu Hui has a clear understanding of himself. If this is a systematic text, the full score of his acting skills is 100 points, and his acting skills should be around 65 points.
He is a fledgling man, and he is still quite far from having the word "acting", but after being trained by several veteran drivers, his own efforts, and having seen Wen Zhang's interpretation of Wang Xiaojian before.
So, it was a smooth time to play this role.
The character of Wang Xiaojian is very fun. The movie never says that Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaojian are really together. According to Xu Hui's character analysis, this man is very likely to be a gay. His personality is not very straight. He can be sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. He can also slap Huang Xiaoxian in the face when she is chasing a taxi. He can also make a bowl of ice cream with toothpaste for Huang Xiaoxian when she is sharing the rental.
Maybe Wang Xiaojian is just a gay girl.
The word gay honey is popular from Europe and the United States. Many heroines in TV series have a gay honey. They must say Willy Garson in "Sex and the City" and "Will and Grace". In short, but watching American dramas in recent years, almost all the heroines have a gay honey.
