The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

According to Lin Bufan...

Starting today, everyone should fully immerse themselves in their roles.

Unfortunately, because everyone drank too much yesterday, everyone's head is spinning today.

Especially those who drank baijiu (Chinese liquor), their heads were still spinning after they woke up.

After another day of rest, everyone was finally able to get back into the swing of things.

"Brother Bufan, I need you to explain this to me."

Jingtian took the script to Lin Bufan.

Jingtian certainly wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.

Of course, Jing Tian was the worst at grasping her role among everyone present.

"The character A'Ruo..."

Lin Bufan took Jingtian's script and began to carefully explain to her the things to pay attention to when filming, as well as the progression of facial expressions.

"Director Lin, since you're here, I'd like to talk to you about something concerning my role."

Lin Bufan had just finished explaining the role to Jing Tian when Gong Li came to him with the script.

"What's the problem?"

Lin Bufan looked at Gong Li with a puzzled expression.

"What I want to confirm is, in the movie, does Gong Li's character have any romantic scenes with Yun?" Gong Li looked at Lin Bufan with a serious expression.

In her understanding, Ni has no romantic feelings for Yun, but in terms of plot and dialogue, there seems to be a hint of ambiguity, which is very difficult to grasp.

She needs to know the real-life situation in the movie so she can decide how to act.

"Regarding this question, Ni only has a slight liking for Yun, like a good friend, but there's no romantic storyline between them," Lin Bufan shook his head.

This is a 3D movie, not a romance movie.

He didn't want to film that kind of thing either.

"You could even delve deeper into the character of Ni," Lin Bufan said after a moment's thought, looking at Gong Li. "For example, Ni's manipulation of Yun."

"use?"

Gong Li frowned slightly; she hadn't considered that.

"That's right!"

Lin Bufan nodded and looked at Gong Li, explaining carefully: "Strictly speaking, this movie doesn't have a clear distinction between protagonists and antagonists."

"From Ni's perspective, everything she did was to prevent the beings within the Ruins from being enslaved by humans, but from humans' perspective, what they did was not wrong either."

"The context at the time was that humanity's resources had been exhausted, and it was necessary to find new energy sources, and Guixu was such a place."

"Lei Lie chose to conquer Guixu for the sake of humanity's future. Was he wrong?"

"On the contrary, the character Yun, if not played well, will attract a lot of criticism. He is a traitor to the human camp. If we are to be serious, he is a 'traitor to humanity' character."

"After the movie is released, the general public may not care, but film critics will definitely comment on this character."

"Emblem, come here!"

Thinking of this, Lin Bufan waved to the emblem.

"director!"

Upon hearing the summons, the emblem hurriedly ran over, clutching the script.

"Perfect timing. Gong Li just mentioned the role to me, and I need to talk to you about it."

Lin Bufan then repeated what he had just said and continued, "When Yun chose to betray humanity, there must have been a reason. That is the core driving force behind the protagonist."

Any character that lacks a core driving force is untenable and hollow.

For example, in the later TV series "The Fortress of Shanghai," the core driving force of all the characters is untenable, so the characters feel like they are floating and unable to land on the ground.

Or rather, if even the person playing the role doesn't believe in the character's driving force, how can the audience possibly believe it?

Therefore, the final result was that the movie not only flopped at the box office, but also failed to impress in terms of word-of-mouth.

"Yes, Director!"

At this moment, Xiao Li, who had heard Lin Bufan talking about the play, also came over.

I strongly agree with Lin Bufan's statement.

Throughout the entire film, the characters with the most steadfast stance and the strongest core driving force are actually the main villain Lei Lie and the female lead Ni.

Why is it that some characters, even those who are clearly villains, become so beloved by audiences after the performance?

The reason is that the core driving force of this character is clear.

There were no problems with the other characters, but the character of Yun was the most difficult to handle.

A slight misstep in acting can be very uncomfortable for the audience. While it may not affect the overall plot of the film, it can be a fatal flaw for the actor.

"What were your thoughts?"

Lin Bufan did not give a direct answer, but instead looked at the emblem.

"Director, I think the reason why the character Yun betrays humanity is because the kindness in his human nature is at play," Wenzhang said after thinking for a moment.

If we simply use "love" to represent the character, then Yun's character becomes rather foolish.

The fact that he was chosen to join the expeditionary force means that he is aware of the human condition.

He knew that humanity needed new energy sources.

However, when he saw humans committing massacres because of energy, the inherent goodness in his humanity told him that this was wrong.

Human beings cannot place their own happiness above the misfortunes of the Void World.

"good!"

Lin Bufan looked at the emblem with admiration.

The success of Emblem in later generations was partly due to resources, but more importantly, it was due to his understanding of the characters.

If it were someone else, they might very well think that Yun betrayed humanity because she fell in love with Ni.

"However, it's not quite perfect!"

Lin Bufan nodded, first praising the other party, and then continued, "If it's just the kindness in human nature, it's not enough to prove these things."

"Besides his kindness, it was mostly because he was deceived by Ni."

"Were you fooled?"

"Director Lin, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing Lin Bufan's words, both Wen Zhang and Gong Li looked at him with some confusion, because this point was not written in the script.

"Do you think that Ni, as the guardian of the Guixu world, is really as innocent as she appears in the dialogue?" Lin Bufan shook his head.

A script is a script, but how it's acted depends on how the character acts.

This is why the same script, directed by different directors and starring different stars, can produce two completely different performances.
