Chapter 264: The Characters of Red Cliff, Uncontrollable (33)

Male characters.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, as set by Shen Santong, are two powerful characters.

Zhou Yu is wise and brave, full of vigor and vitality. We do not use the Zhou Yu in the novel, but the Zhou Yu in history who "can reduce the masts and oars to ashes while chatting and laughing".

He was the main commander of the Sun-Liu coalition forces in the Battle of Chibi. His wisdom and strategic vision played a decisive role in the battle.

He is not the idiot in Wu Yusen's version who puts on a fake smile, sacrifices himself to block the arrows for Zhao Yun and ignores Sun Ce's great cause.

Zhuge Liang’s character.

He is young and energetic, talented, shrewd, calm and in control of the overall situation.

It is not the Wu Yusen version either, the dog-headed military strategist who follows his horse around.

It’s just that Zhou Yu’s strength lies in his individuality.

Zhuge Liang's strength lies in the collective.

Shen Santong will give Wu Hou the wisdom to see through history.

Before the Battle of Chibi even began, one could determine the attitudes of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu and use them accordingly.

At the end of the Battle of Red Cliffs, he could see that the pattern of the Three Kingdoms had been established.

Not only that, but it also analyses the specific details.

Glimpse the crisis behind the victory of Eastern Wu.

With Zhou Yu's great victory, his prestige grew, which led to the internal inability of the Eastern Wu group to cohere.

At the same time, the strength of Eastern Wu will attract Cao Cao's attention.

This will be a strategic opportunity for the development of their team.

Not to be missed.

Shen Santong gave historical practical significance.

As with all his films, the story is simple.

But the inner world can be explored by the audience.

Shu Han was an idealistic group in history, but ultimately did not win.

But seventeen hundred years later, one group succeeded and won.

In addition to corresponding to Chiang Kai-shek’s group, Cao Wei also corresponds to the United States.

Shen Santong favored Wu Hou, and he admitted that, but he did not weaken Zhou Yu.

Only a strong confrontation will be interesting.

There is just a difference in strength: one is individual strength, the other is collective strength.

What Zhou Yu saw was Chibi.

Wu Hou saw beyond Chibi and saw the whole world.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are minor roles and the most brilliant characters.

Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" is also the only blockbuster that gives mainland male actors the opportunity to play the leading role.

Competition for roles is fierce.

Various small tricks emerge one after another.

Shen San's communication box received a large number of reports and dealt with many people behind the scenes.

After screening, Zhou Jie, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Nie Yuan and others were invited to audition for the role of Zhuge Liang.

He asked Zhuge Liang to audition actors who must be under 30 years old.

Wu Hou was 27 years old during the Battle of Red Cliffs. Considering the living standards and maintenance methods of the ancients, an actor of this age could play the role just as well as actors over years old.

But Shen Santong still strictly controls the age of the actors.

Zhou Jie was selected.

Because he has the best acting skills and the strongest explosive power.

In his setting, Zhuge Liang doesn’t have to be too handsome, but he must have acting skills and be able to control the situation through his acting skills.

Huang Xiaoming is a little bit behind, and Deng Chao and Nie Yuan are even more behind.

Shen Santong invited Lu Yi, Fu Dalong, Duan Yihong, Chen Kun and others to audition for the role of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was 33 years old during the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the actor for the role of Zhou Yu must be years old or above.

Zhou Yu and Shen Santong wanted a commander, and finally chose Lu Yi.

Fu Dalong is not handsome enough, and can be considered ugly among the young actors.

Duan Yihong and Chen Kun are both OK, but their acting skills are a bit strong.

According to official history, the Battle of Red Cliffs was the absolute highlight of Zhou Yu's character.

Shen Santong’s setting is his own unique style, and his character shines so brightly.

If his acting skills are too outstanding, Zhuge Liang will become weaker, which will affect the dual-strong situation.

Lu Yi is the best.

The acting is average, she's just good looking, a pretty vase.

He is also very famous and is the first generation of young actors.

Lu Yi’s Zhou Yu: a strong individual, full of vigor and vitality, a historical highlight, but poor acting skills, just handsome.

Zhou Jie's Zhuge Liang: The group is strong (the individual is weak), the wisdom is outstanding (side highlights, no historical frontal highlights), but the acting skills are good and the explosive power is strong.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu in the Battle of Chibi was a historical highlight, even greater than Wu Hou in the Battle of Chibi.

But as an actor, Zhou Jie's acting skills overshadow Lu Yi.

Only then will there be room for competition and dramatic conflict as a whole.

Director Chen Ming plays Cao Cao.

Shen Santong’s Cao Cao has his own private agenda buried deep within the story.

A shallow character, a contemporary hero, who grew up step by step from chasing Dong Zhuo, to killing Zhang Miao, to fighting Zhang Xiu at Guandu.

An ambitious and ambitious person.

According to common sense, the Battle of Red Cliffs would be the highlight of his unification and ascension to the throne, so he had the majesty and pomp of an emperor. He was not the gangster boss in Wu Yusen's version, nor was he the reckless and lustful image of starting a war of unification for Xiao Qiao.

Cao Cao had paid a heavy price for his lust. He lost his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin, and his great general Dian Wei. The vast territory he had conquered was in danger.

A powerful person can make mistakes, but he cannot make the same mistake twice.

Moreover, Cao Cao's mistake of being lustful was due to carelessness after victory. He did not go to war for a beautiful woman. Beautiful women were just an accessory after victory.

Feng Yuanzheng plays Liu Bei.

Feng Yuanzheng was 44 years old, and Liu Bei was 46 years old during the Battle of Chibi, so he was of the right age.

An Jiahe's screen image has been washed away after the birth of the film.

Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills are strong enough that Shen Santong should consider playing a supporting role with Zhou Jie.

After Shen Santong met Zhou Jie, he found that she was a very straightforward person and easy to deal with.

Similarly, when acting, I won’t give in.

It is very important to arrange a lord who can suppress his performance.

Don't make it seem like Zhuge Liang in history respected Liu Bei very much. When Zhou Jie plays the role, she overshadows the lord. That would not be nice.

The Liu Bei designed by Shen Santong is a man who still has ideals after returning home for half his life.

He is also a handsome man with talent and bravery after a lifetime of military service.

It is not Wu Yusen’s version of the real boy weaving straw sandals.

Feng Yuanzheng’s appearance is actually OK, but he didn’t get a good role after playing An Jiahe.

Huang Xiaoming plays Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was 26 years old during the Battle of Red Cliffs, and Huang Xiaoming was 29 years old, so their ages are consistent.

In addition, his acting skills are such that he becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents and becomes weaker when facing weaker opponents, and his appearance is not inferior to Lu Yi.

It would go well with Lu Yi's Zhou Yu.

The character of Sun Quan can be summarized in one sentence: If I had a son, I would hope he would be like Sun Zhongmou, who is young and promising.

After taking over the throne, he worked hard to control the aristocratic families, and during the Battle of Red Cliffs, he made the decision to fight.

Yu Rongguang plays Guan Yu.

Zhang Shan plays Zhang Fei.

Wu Jing plays Zhao Yun.

Yu Rongguang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has excellent skills. If he were not too old, he could have played the role of Zhao Yun.

Zhang Shan graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and is an actor at the Beijing Film Studio. He has played Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

He had given up costume dramas and took on the TV series "Burning of Afang Palace" directed by Li Hanxiang and starring Liu Xiaoqing.

The crew was short of funds and director Li Hanxiang passed away. He lost confidence in costume dramas and turned to shooting modern dramas.

Shen Santong found him again.

Character design by Shen Santong.

Guan Yu is arrogant to his superiors but not rude to his subordinates. He is a great general who can lead an army and has pride and heroism in his bones.

Zhang Fei is bold but careful. His recklessness is just his outer appearance. He is very delicate inside and can be a great general who can lead a detachment to advance alongside the main force.

Designed by Shen Santong, Zhao Yun is the Shu Han Wolf Warrior, which can quickly pass Changbanpo without any damage.

Don’t ask, the answer is Yunmei holding an AK with unlimited firepower, killing from beginning to end.

As for actresses.

Tong Liya plays Xiao Qiao.

Wang Zhi plays Sun Shangxiang.

Yan Ni plays Mrs. Gan.

Dong Xuan plays Da Qiao.

He Qing plays Mrs. Cai.

Gao Yuanyuan plays Zhen Ji.

Fan Bingbing plays Diao Chan.

Tangtang plays Huang Yueying.

Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Huo Siyan, Gao Lu and others played the maids.

The actresses don't have many roles overall. Xiao Qiao only has one dance, Sun Shangxiang can show off her martial arts, and Madam Gan only has some scenes with Wolf Warrior.

The other female characters only appear in one or two shots.

Like Diao Chan who became Lu Bu's concubine, after Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue defeated Lu Bu, she followed Lu Bu to Xuzhou.

After the Battle of Xiapi, Lü Bu was killed by Cao Cao. Diao Chan followed Lü Bu's family to Xuchang and has been missing since then.

Diao Chan is just a cross-section, and her miserable life after becoming a commoner is just a shot.

Mrs. Cai would have a conversation and she wanted to choose Xu Qing, but because of her mother's incident and she had to go abroad, she chose He Qing.

Mrs. Gan came back according to historical records, riding a horse.

Sun Shangxiang is a chivalrous woman with an unruly personality that is completely different from traditional women.

For the sake of the overall situation and to consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu, she married Liu Bei.

It's not the rude, rebellious, enhancer-absorbing Xiaoyanzi of Wu Yusen's version, nor is it feminism.

After the roles were decided, preparations for Red Cliff entered the fast lane.

Split the shooting task details and implement management at fixed time, fixed location, fixed person, fixed quality and fixed quantity.

Shen Santong learned the lesson from "The Promise" and realized that funds must not be wasted due to improper management.

time flies.

"Red Cliff" has entered the stage of mobilizing the main creators, reading the script together with the leading actors, and rehearsing their roles.

However, Shen Santong realized that he had made a wrong decision. He shouldn't have lowered his self-requirements and he couldn't control himself.

Indulged.
