Chapter 927 Twenty years, vertical and horizontal, who can resist
Generally speaking, every director actually has an actor he particularly appreciates and is particularly willing to use the other person.
For example, Xiaogang Cannon was particularly willing to use Ge You, and later he was particularly willing to use Huangxuan.
Wu Jishan is particularly willing to use Chen Kun. "Painted Skin 2" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Dragon Search" are both the male protagonists of Chen Kun.
Jiang Wen... is particularly willing to use his wife Zhou Yun, regardless of whether the role is suitable or not, or whether he can make a name for himself.
As for Zhang Yimou, he was particularly willing to use Gong Li in the past...
Later, he broke up with Gong Li and made a movie to change to another heroine.
As for the male actor, Zhang Yimou publicly said that he believed that the best actress in Long Country was Gong Li, and the best male actor was Chen Daoming, so he asked Gong Li and Chen Daoming to act together in "The Return".
These two people are indeed worthy of his praise, and their acting skills in "Return" are all textbook-level.
Of course, this is just Zhang Yimou's own personal ranking.
In Yue Guan's heart, Chen Daoming is indeed a very excellent actor, but he does not have that unique status.
Let Chen Daoming play Shang Yang...
Yue Guan thought about it carefully, then frowned and said, "Director Zhang, Shang Yang is a Dharma Saint in the script setting of "The Immortal Qin Empire". Bai Qi killed the great reputation of the Immortal Qin, and Shang Yang built the foundation for the Immortal Qin. The Legalists have always been strict, and Chen Daoming's temperament tends to be elegant. Are you sure he is suitable for playing Shang Yang?"
Zhang Yimou has true love for Chen Daoming, and said without thinking: "With Chen Daoming's acting skills, it's not easy to play a harsh and domineering Dharma Saint?"
Yueguan: "..."
Can't refute.
Chen Daoming does have this kind of acting skills.
"But Director Zhang, don't you think it's a bit incompatible with the role? Compared to Shang Yang, the Legalist, I feel that Chen Daoming is more suitable for Guiguzi."
In the script of "The Immortal Qin Empire", there are settings from various schools of thought.
As a name that cannot be ignored, Guiguzi naturally has a role in the founder of the Zongheng family.
Guiguzi was set to be passed down from generation to generation, and each generation has Guiguzi.
Guiguzi during the Ying Zheng period gave the Qin State's national Wei Liao in history.
During the process of Ying Zheng unifying the world, Wei Liao made great contributions, and he was a person who could not be avoided in history.
The script of "The Immortal Qin Empire" has raised Wei Liao's setting. As a big shot in the Immortal Qin sequence, Guiguzi certainly needs a super bull to defeat the formation.
When Yue Guan read the script of "The Immortal Qin Empire", his first reaction to Guigu Wei Liao was Chen Daoming.
"Guigu Wei Liao?" Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I remember Chen Daoming played a diplomat in the past and was very outstanding."
"My 1919, Gu Weijun, that's not very outstanding, it's very outstanding. With the role of Gu Weijun, Chen Daoming directly won two actors."
After the end of World War II, the Dragon Kingdom counterattacked Asia and gradually recovered its vitality. In 1919, it was still the dark period of the Dragon Kingdom.
A weak country has no diplomacy.
When he was a diplomat in the Dragon Kingdom in that era, the pressure, difficulty and even humiliation were imaginable.
Chen Daoming, who has always been known for his calm and elegant style, played the leading role in "My 1919", and expressed Gu Weijun's dignity as a descendant of Yan and Huang and his wisdom and elegance as a diplomat. After watching this movie, he could fully feel the social responsibility and national responsibility of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country", and at the same time he would fully understand what "a weak country has no diplomacy".
In addition, after watching this movie, I really feel sorry for Gu Weijun.
No matter how wise and elegant the diplomats are, they still cannot change the current situation at that time in the large historical environment.
Yue Guan had watched this movie, and after watching it, he thought, what kind of style would he have if Gu Weijun was born in the era of a great country?
Gu Weijun, who endured humiliation but was strong, performed very well by Chen Daoming.
What if we can put aside the humiliation and bear heavy burdens?
How powerful is it to let diplomats of Gu Weijun open up their energy and rely on their strong motherland to fully demonstrate their talents and abilities?
I haven't had a chance before.
But Guiguzi in "The Immortal Qin Empire" is an opportunity.
The straitor, an ancient version of the diplomat, travels the world with one mouth.
Guiguzi, the most outstanding strategist in ancient times.
Then it is backed by the Immortal Qin Empire.
Yue Guan can only think of one lyrics:
Twenty years, who can resist each other?
After listening to Yue Guan’s words, Zhang Yimou was also moved.
"Yueguan, you see that the actors are more accurate than me. Chen Daoming is indeed more suitable for Guiguzi." Zhang Yimou was convinced.
Yue Guan was actually a pity: "It would be great if Chen Daoming could be thirty years younger."
"What's the meaning?"
"If Chen Daoming could be thirty years younger, I wouldn't worry about Bai Qi's choice. The white-clothed killer god is a peerless and romantic person. The young Chen Daoming can definitely hold on. Whether it is appearance, temperament or acting skills, I have a little bit of taste for young actors nowadays."
Bai Qi's setting is the God of Killing, the Sage of War, and the Fierce Man who created a surging sea of blood.
The more this happens, the easier it is to give people a stereotype. If the character Bai Qi wants to perform, the actor who plays him is the kind of elegant and romantic even looks a bit delicate. However, when it is necessary to show murderous aura, it must be displayed very well and not let the audience get out of the show.
This extreme contrast will deepen the memory points of this character many times.
Zhang Yimou agreed with this view, and then he sighed: "Actually you can act too."
Yueguan: "..."
He can indeed play, but he definitely wants to play Ying Zheng more.
"If Chen Daoming plays Guiguzi, Shang Yang will be vacant again." Zhang Yimou frowned and said, "Yueguan, your requirements for Shang Yang are strict, domineering, and cold. I remember that Shang Yang created by Wang Zhifei in "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire" is not of this type, right?"
Yue Guan: "...You are right. Wang Zhifei's version of Shang Yang is almost perfect. It is a bit too beautified, not the feeling of Shang Yang I want."
"Then do you recommend Wang Zhifei? His impression of Shang Yang in the audience's mind has been set. It seems that some fans asked Zhang Shi, who played Zhao Gao in the TV series "Mythology", to play Zhao Gao in the TV series "Immortal Qin Empire", and we also denied it immediately. The characters in "Immortal Qin Empire" all want the feeling of domineeringness and power. Zhang Shi's Zhao Gao plays well, but he plays the hard-working Zhao Gao and the climbing Zhao Gao, not Zhao Gao, who is strong enough to dig a grave for Xian Qin. The overall temperament is incompatible, and no matter how good he plays, it is useless.
There is another biggest problem. Whether it is Zhang Shi or Wang Zhifei, the fame is too small, and the audience is not familiar with their names. Yue Guan, we filmed "The Immortal Qin Empire", the biggest investment drama in Longguo. The actors choose a bunch of people who are not familiar with the audience or people with very low status. Do you think it is appropriate?"
Yue Guan was convinced: "It's inappropriate, and it's easy to reduce the overall style of the drama "Immortal Qin Empire".
In a drama with a investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, if several major actors are second and third-tier, regardless of their status or national popularity... no matter how they play, they will give the audience a low feeling.
For example, someone recommended Yan Yikuan to play Bai Qi.
The second male lead in "The Immortal Qin Empire" is a young actor who has been in awesome for many years who want to be acting but not acting but popular...
How do the audience feel tall and proud?
And you asked Chen Daoming to play a supporting role for him?
Let Chen Kun play a supporting role for him?
To put it bluntly, is he qualified?
