This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 682 "New Shadow": In addition to tricks, there are heroes [6340 monthly pass plus more]

The success of "Glory of the Big Han" did not make Yue Guan lose his mind.

The altar is never stable.

If you stand on the altar today, and if your new play fails tomorrow, you are likely to fall from the altar.

Unless you never film anymore, such as Zhou Xingchi, you can stay on the altar forever.

But Yue Guan is still young, he will definitely not quit the entertainment circle now, so the higher the praise, the more cautious Yue Guan.

Even more cautious than before.

Originally, Yueguan was going to make a cameo appearance in "Shadow" after he was busy in "Glory of the Great Man", and by the way, he was a little bit imperial. Yue Guan is not particularly optimistic about the box office limit of "Shadow", so he himself is not particularly concerned.

But "Glory of the Big Han" is really too successful.

It was so successful that he raised the standard for himself.

The movie "Shadow" is not friendly enough to ordinary audiences.

Zhang Yimou has his own aesthetics, and his persistence in artistic aesthetics is often inconsistent with the audience's aesthetics.

Big directors like to play metaphors, brain burn, and unpredictable...

These questions are all in the script of "Shadow".

Originally, Yue Guan didn't care about these issues very much, anyway, he didn't shoot himself.

But now he decided to play the role of Pei Wang Peiliang, and he began to care about these issues.

Pei Wang Peiliang has many roles.

If he is serious about filming, no matter how good he is, he will easily get involved in the whole drama of "Shadow".

So Yueguan only has two options:

First, without taking the role of Pei Wang Peiliang, the filming of "Shadow" has nothing to do with him.

Second, modify the script of "Shadow" to make the script of "Shadow" more friendly to the general audience, less pretentious and sophisticated, and more simple and straightforward heroic.

Yue Guan chose the second one.

Good imperial dramas are hard to find.

Now that I decided to shoot with my heart, I would just perfect the script of "Shadow".

If it is someone else, it would be difficult to persuade Zhang Yimou.

But Yueguan now has this ability and status.

Moreover, Yue Guan wanted to make changes to the script, which Zhang Yimou couldn't expect.

Regardless of the great director, Zhang Yimou also knows that scripting ability is his weakness, and color and scene management are his strengths.

Therefore, it is definitely a wise choice to hand over the script to Yue Guan, who is recognized as having a stronger ability to control the market and the deepest empathy for the audience.

Yue Guan talked to Zhang Yimou over the phone, and as he expected, Zhang Yimou was overjoyed.

He had visited Yue Guan in Miracle Company before, and hoped that Yue Guanduo would give some opinions on the script of "Shadow".

At that time, Yue Guan did also make some small comments, but didn't mention too many constructive ones, because Yue Guan didn't think about shooting by himself at the time, so he didn't care about it at all.

Now, Yue Guan was obviously serious.

And when Yue Guan got serious, his past record needless to say.

At this time, the filming crew of "Shadow" had already started, and the national teacher announced the news that Yue Guan would come to the crew tomorrow, and at the same time said that he would revise the script, the whole crew suddenly became lively.

Some are surprised, and some are scared.

Everyone knows the status of Yue Guan and also knows that the script of "Shadow" is provided by Miracle Company.

If Yue Guan was on a whim, he might delete all of their scenes.

But no matter how worried they are, they dare not say anything.

Zhang Yimou’s crew will always be Zhang Yimou at the core, no matter how big the actor is.

The addition of Yue Guan made the combination of Yue Guan + Zhang Yimou even more important.

Oppose this pair of combinations, unless you don't want to mix in the circle.

The next day.

Before Yueguan's car arrived on the crew, the actors on the crew got together and talked.

Deng Chao is surrounded by the most people, because everyone knows that Yue Guan and Deng Chao have a good relationship. The "Mermaid" script that made Deng Chao famous was provided by Yue Guan.

"Super, is Yue Guan easy to contact? Is it arrogant?" Wang Qianyuan asked.

He is a typical late-blooming actor, and his famous work is still a literary film. He finally won the favor of Zhang Yimou and starred in the film of the National Teacher. If he loses this opportunity, Wang Qianyuan will feel distressed.

So he is very concerned about Yue Guan.

Others also looked at Deng Chao.

Regardless of the box office of Zhang Yimou's play, as long as Zhang Yimou opens a new show and says he needs actors, there are basically no unmoved stars in the circle.

The national teacher has this appeal.

No one wants to lose this opportunity.

Deng Chao opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Yue Guan is not difficult to deal with. He is very nice, and there is no arrogance. As long as you don't sin against him, Yue Guan is actually an ordinary person."

"Except Director Zhang in the crew, who would dare to offend him." Wu Lei envied.

Guan Xiaotong glanced at Wu Lei, shook his head and said, "Director Zhang dare not offend Yue Guan."

Deng Chao laughed: "Why is Yueguan so terrible by you? I have been in contact with him a few times, so he is very approachable."

Give him two resources directly.

Deng Chao felt that Yue Guan was the best man in Tianzi.

Sun Libai glanced at Deng Chao: "For you, Yue Guan is of course a good person. We are not worried about our role. Director Zhang said that Yue Guan will change the script."

She is the heroine of "Shadow". There are many and heavy plots in this drama. Sun Li actually doesn't want to change it.

But she knew that her thoughts were not important, but Yue Guan's thoughts were important.

Fortunately, Yue Guan and Deng Chao had a good relationship. Sun Li specifically asked Deng Chao when she slept with Deng Chao last night. Deng Chao also said that Yue Guan would definitely not cheat their husband and wife, so Sun Li was a little relieved.

But others are not sure of this.

Among everyone's discussions, Yue Guan came to the crew.

Zhang Yimou greeted him first, and no one dared to **** him.

"Yueguan, you are finally here."

Zhang Yimou and Yue Guan hugged: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

This is the truth.

In Zhang Yimou's eyes, Yueguan basically equals a box office of 100 million.

It's weird that he doesn't want it.

Yue Guan smiled lightly: "I've been busy and can't get away. I finally got some free time, so I immediately rushed to the crew. Director Zhang, I haven't stopped at all."

"Tough hard work." Of course Zhang Yimou didn't mean to blame Yue Guan.

Yue Guan's original work plan did not include the filming of "Shadow" at all, and Zhang Yimou knew this well.

The two exchanged greetings, and Yue Guan got to know the cast members briefly, and went straight to the subject: "Director Zhang, let's read the script. The script needs to be revised, and you should also refer to your opinions."

Of course Zhang Yimou has no opinion.

However, although Yue Guan was interested in soliciting the opinions of others, he did not take the lead in speaking, and no one dared to speak rashly.

What if your own ideas conflict with Yue Guan?

Who will leave and who will stay? This question does not seem to require thinking.

Zhang Yimou's concerns about these actors were also very clear. He simply nodded to Yue Guan and said, "Yue Guan, you can talk about it first."

Yue Guan was also not polite: "Then I'll give a good idea, Director Zhang, the script of "Shadow" is generally good, but some lines are buried too deep. If it is not a professional film critic, ordinary audiences may not watch the movie. If you can’t get it, such hidden lines may be meaningful to movies, but they are meaningless to the box office.”

Zhang Yimou straightened up and asked seriously: "For example?"

"For example, the Tian Zhan line."

Hearing Yue Guan talk about Tian Zhan, Wang Qianyuan's expression also became solemn.

This is his role.

"The line of Tian Zhan is buried too deep. I can guarantee that after watching the movie, most of the audience will hardly realize that Tian Zhan is actually Pei Wang Peiliang's person."

Yue Guan has seen many film reviews about "Shadow" in his previous life.

A black "Shadow" with sunspots eloquently received thousands of likes, and then even the people who Tian Zhan is King Pei did not understand.

This shows one thing: the people who liked him didn't understand.

But instead of complaining about the low IQ of these sunspots, we should reflect on it. If some hidden lines are buried in people's senses, does such hidden lines make sense?

It is okay to be half a floor higher than the audience.

But at a higher level, from the box office, it is actually unnecessary.

Just to force the grid.

"Let’s reorganize the plot from the beginning. The background of "Shadow" is the era of war and chaos, and the heroes co-existed. Peiguo’s key area, Jingzhou, was borrowed by its strong neighbor Yanguo in the early years, but not repaid. , But was caught by the opponent's general Yang Cang, and was seriously injured. Unwilling Ziyu secretly sent a substitute Jizhou to pretend to be himself, the prime minister's military affairs, and the internal envoy, Xiao Ai, to assist.

Seriously divide it, there are actually three powers in the movie "Shadow", the first power is Yan Country, and Yang Cang is the highest commander of Yan Country. The second power is Ziyu, the capital of Peiguo. He is in the power of Peiguo, and his power is even greater than that of Peiwang Peiliang. Xiao Ai is Ziyu's wife and Jingzhou is Ziyu's stand-in. The third-party force is Peiwang Peiliang. He wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom, but also wants to kill Ziyu and become a powerful Peiwang.

Since Wang Peiliang has this ambition, he is naturally not a dreamer. In order to achieve this goal, he has always taken action. Yang Ping, the son of Yang Cang, sent a messenger to send a letter saying that he wanted Napei Wang Peiliang's sister, the eldest princess Qingping, as a concubine. Peiliang said that he could consider it, but did not really consider it, because in the end Qingping killed Yang Ping.

King Pei wanted to kill two birds with one stone and simultaneously destroy Yan Country and Ziyu. He must have a plan to get rid of Ziyu, so Tian Zhan came out.

On the surface, Ziyu was dismissed by Peiliang for disobeying the king's order.

Tian Zhan directly ‘jumped back’ and spoke for Ziyu, ‘Don’t be the lord! ’.

Later, Yang Cang's son Yang Ping wanted to accept Peiguo's eldest princess Qingping as a concubine. Peiliang was ready to agree. Tian Zhan again "jumped" and said, "Sooner or later, Peiguo will be destroyed in your hands, faint!" ’

Faced with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Tian Zhan scolded and kicked, leaving Peiliang with no affection.

Peiliang directly shot Tian Zhan with an arrow.

As a result, the arrow hit the ground.

Tian Zhan picked up the arrow and said, ‘Don’t work hard, the minister will come by himself. ’

Then Tian Zhan stabbed himself with an arrow.

The stabbing was not the point, but he won Ziyu's complete trust and became Ziyu's absolute confidant. At the same time, he was fooled by the enemy Yang Cang.

After Ziyu was deposed, Tian Zhan was Peiguo's first general. Tian Zhan was also deposed, and Pei Guo immediately became extremely weak.

So Yang Cang began to underestimate the enemy and withdrew 30,000 troops from the city.

Ziyu also found Tian Zhan secretly and took Tian Zhan as his confidant.

In order to defraud Ziyu's intentions, Tian Zhan asked him, "The Governor, why bother to imprison yourself in the secret room? Why not take the lord and replace him? ’

Ziyu was unprepared and directly said everything about the substitute Jingzhou, and at the same time expressed his true intentions, ‘you will help me take the Jingzhou City. After the event is completed, you will be the king and you are the governor. ’

Tian Zhan, on the surface of a confidant, is actually a **** kingly party.

It was precisely because of Tian Zhan's intelligence that King Pei had a murderous heart against Ziyu, and he knew that Jingzhou City would soon be broken, so that Jingzhou could be rescued when the quilt in Jingzhou was about to die.

Because of Tian Zhan’s intelligence, the assassins sent by King Pei could quickly find Ziyu’s hiding place.

Pei Wang Peiliang is not a faint emperor, but he is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. He can control the whole situation only because Tian Zhan is his person from beginning to end. "

These words of Yue Guan made many actors feel a little confused.

Tian Zhan is Pei Wang Peiliang's person, this matter is not directly stated in the script, so many of them are not clear.

After hearing what Yue Guan said, they reacted.

It turned out to be so.

With this calculation, the plot is indeed smooth.

"Director Zhang, is this really the case?" Everyone looked at Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou nodded: "It's true. Actually, it is clear that this line is buried?"

People eating melons: "..."

Yue Guan Tanshou: "You can see from everyone's reaction. There is no explanation from the beginning to the end in the plot of this line. Unless you watch the movie seriously, you will go wrong."

Zhang Yimou was puzzled: "Isn't this just Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai-a copy of a willingness to fight? Pei Wang Peiliang's shot at the palace is Zhou Yu's bitter trick to fight Huang Gai. It's hard to understand?"

"It's not difficult for me to understand, but for some audiences, they can't think so far. Director Zhang, it's just a movie, and the audience has to contact historical events. The demands on the audience are too high." Yue Guandao .

Zhang Yimou thought about it, but was still persuaded by Yue Guan: "Then change it, and point it out at the end in the play."

It's really important.

If you don't point it out, the line of Tian Zhan is not logical, and the character of Pei Wang Peiliang is not perfect.

Like the forbearing lyb lord like Pei Wang Peiliang, since he is not incompetent, he certainly cannot be without followers.

After all, he is orthodox.

Therefore, Tian Zhan is the most **** royalist.

If all these were pointed out, Tian Zhan and Pei Wang Peiliang stood still.

This change did not involve anyone else, so everyone basically has no opinion.

Zhang Yimou looked at Yue Guan again: "Anything else?"

"Yes." Yue Guan gave an affirmative answer.

"The final ending of "Shadow" is too blank, leaving too much room for the audience to imagine, but it is not shocking enough. In fact, it can be more shocking."

"For example?" Zhang Yimou became interested.

Other actors also looked at Yue Guan.

The ending of "Shadow" is very clever to them.

Jingzhou City was breached under Ziyu's plan, and Peiguo's strength greatly increased.

After Jingzhou City was forced to do so, Peiwang Peiliang took his bow and sent a killer to kill Ziyu who had been seriously injured.

Unexpectedly, Ziyu killed the assassin and touched the palace, preparing to assassinate the king and become the king of Pei.

At a critical time, Jingzhou, who was also hidden by the Ziyu bird, jumped out and killed his own master Ziyu.

Then Jingzhou killed Ziyu and killed King Pei.

Prepare yourself to be King Pei.

The whole logic line is smooth.

The shadow has everything in the end.

But in fact it doesn't work.

Because this is not the end.

Tian Zhan is a **** kingly party. He was almost hacked to death by Yang Ping in order to save the eldest princess Qingping, Peiliang's sister.

His loyalty is beyond doubt.

If Ziyu killed King Pei, Tian Zhan might still be loyal to Ziyu, because Ziyu is the idol of all the people of Pei, and also his idol. In order to save Ziyu, he also fought a dozen bandits. .

But the lord died, and Ziyu died too.

Tian Zhan could not be loyal to a shadow anyway.

Jingzhou repeatedly killed Ziyu and Queen Pei, but he couldn't become King Pei smoothly. At least Tian Zhan would not let him go.

After Ziyu's death, Tian Zhan was the first man in Peiguo's military.

Tian Zhan's dissatisfaction is equivalent to the military dissatisfaction.

Jingzhou's throne was unstable.

Unless the person who walks to the Haiwang Palace is not Jingshu.

Yue Guan asked Zhang Yimou: "Ziyu is the governor of Pei, and he has a shadow he cultivated since childhood. Pei Wang Peiliang's identity is more noble, what about his shadow?"

Zhang Yimou did not speak.

The other actors seemed to have opened a window.

"What Jingzhou killed was only the shadow of King Pei, and then King Pei would kill Jingzhou again?" Wang Qianyuan's eyes lit up.

He likes this ending.

After all, the Tian Zhan he played is a **** kingly party.

Yue Guan said indifferently: "There is no need to make it clear whether the last surviving King Pei is the shadow King Pei or the real King Pei. This can be left blank for the audience to guess. It is better than the original blank."

Yue Guan’s proposal was actually a bit selfish. After all, he played Wang Pei and Jingzhou was played by Deng Chao.

Of course he is not willing to lose to Deng Chao.

However, in terms of plot reversal, this arrangement is actually more logical.

And the audience can see it more clearly.

It also fits the name "Shadow" more closely.

The most important thing is that, in this way, King Pei’s character set is completely established.

Zhang Yimou thought for a moment, but nodded, "According to you, do you have any other ideas?"

Yue Guan smiled: "There is one more important thought."

"You said."

"The story background of "Shadow" has a prototype, taken from the Three Kingdoms. Yang Cang's prototype is Guan Yu, Ziyu's prototype is Zhou Yu, and Peiwang's prototype is Sun Quan."

Yue Guan's words did not cause other people's shock.

After all, they have also studied the script and found that it is not difficult.

But the next sentence of Yue Guan shocked the audience.

"Although there are prototypes, I have to say that the characters portrayed in the script of "Shadow" are all low-profile versions, not half the style of the original."

Yue Guan looked around and sighed lightly: "Everyone, the Three Kingdoms is an era of gold and iron horses, and it is also an era of heroes. The Three Kingdoms are not only conspiracies and tricks, but those that impress us more deeply. A well-known hero and hero. Unfortunately, in the script of "Shadow", except for Yang Cang, there is a bit of heroism, and the other characters will only play tricks.

Nobody can refute it.

Yue Guan looked serious and said seriously: "Since you want to take the Three Kingdoms as the prototype, don't shoot so small. Director Zhang, I believe you don't want to be said that the Three Kingdoms you photographed are only conspiracies, right?"

Zhang Yimou's face also became serious.

Of course he didn't want to.

He thought about the script of "Shadow" and found that it was exactly what Yue Guan said.

"How much do you want to change?" Zhang Yimou asked ~www.ltnovel.com~ Yue Guan's answer was very decisive: "Basically everything needs to be changed, because the current script is too small. Wang Pei should have the world in mind, relatively speaking of his. The human setting is not bad. As a heavy minister of the two dynasties, both civil and military, is it just a scrawny metamorphosis? The reason why he regained Jingzhou was just because he was slashed? The monarchy, the subjects and the people, in the heart of the governor It should be there. The lord is incompetent. It is understandable to replace it, but where is the heroic spirit? The captain depicted in the script is just an ambiguous metamorphosis peeping at his wife and substitute, without the slightest heroism.

Also, "Shadow" is a historical drama, and the fight should have the charm of the cold weapon era. The fight between the general and the general should be a battle of life and death. Director Zhang, don't indulge in yin and yang aesthetics, the battlefield does not talk about yin and yang, the battlefield only needs masculine.

The historical prototype of "Shadow" is the Three Kingdoms era. What era is the Three Kingdoms? In the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao was still able to beat Wuhuan, and Gongsun was still able to beat the rivers; Sun Quan fought Baiyue and conquered Yizhou; Zhuge Liang swept the southwest. This is the spirit that the Three Kingdoms era should have, reckless China, iron horse gold, and heroic spirit. Director Zhang, believe me, historical dramas should be shot like this. Don't indulge in shooting conspiracies. The audience may like to watch conspiracies, but they will always prefer heroes. Our history is magnificent enough, so we need to shoot intensely, not twitchy. "

Seeing Yue Guan who gave generously in the field, everyone present understood the meaning of a word.

That word is called-pattern!
