Magic Modified Huayu

Director Wei originally wanted Lei Jiayin.

It’s not that I think Lei Jiayin’s acting skills are better than Hu Jun’s.

I simply think that Lei Datou and Dong Ge are more similar in appearance and have a more suitable image.

Hu Jun...it's true that Brother Dong is trying too hard to be his match.

But Dong Ge is happy to marry someone of a higher status.

And they are willing to spend money.

Although Director Wei's films are not short of money, when you adapt someone else's prototype, you must respect the prototype's opinion.

So Hu Jun finally got the leading role.

Director Wei didn't have much opinion either.

But Hu Jun himself was a little panicked.

He was not sure if he could still handle the role of the male lead in a drama and whether he could still carry the ratings.

The times have changed.

It’s no longer the era of Boss Qiao.

Moreover, he really didn't have a good grasp of the script of "The Age of Surprises".

So, seizing the opportunity, Hu Jun took the initiative to speak: "Director Wei, I want to ask a question about my overall performance."

"Teacher Hu, you say."

Hu Jun asked, "Brother Dong... in the script, it's Brother Xi. Is Brother Xi going to turn evil later on?"

Director Wei explained: "It's not that he's turned evil, it's just that he has the same problems as many rich people - but 99% of rich people actually do the things he does, including cheating."

Hu Jun didn't argue, and continued, "So, do I need to show the changes before and after? Especially in the later stages, do I need to show him moving towards a neutral, chaotic, or even somewhat evil stance?"

It was obvious that he had carefully considered the performance and analyzed the character arc. Director Wei patiently explained, "Brother Jun, your understanding is correct, but it's not to the point of being evil.

Later on, Xige has become one of the richest people in the country and is also famous internationally.

So he is no longer the poor boy he used to be. He has become a real rich man, or a capitalist.

Of course, he can still retain some of his original intentions, including his conscience, but he also has most of the problems that capitalists have.

Therefore, in the later stages, the male protagonist must not be portrayed as righteous.

It is indeed difficult to interpret the male lead. What I want is the feeling between good and evil.

In some aspects, the male protagonist makes people feel that he is still the young man from the countryside.

There are also times when the protagonist feels like he has become the new dragon.”

Hu Jun smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand, I have one last question.

Director Wei, won't there be any problems if I act like this? This doesn't quite fit the traditional image of a leading man."

Director Wei waved his hand casually: "Leave this issue to me, you only need to worry about the performance.

Jun Ge, you should act well. If you do well, I believe you will win the Best Actor award this year or next year."

"I'd like to borrow some good words from Wei Dao."

After Director Wei said this, Hu Jun no longer hesitated.

It’s not easy to play the male lead.

To be precise, the first part is easy to act, but the second part is difficult.

The character arc and growth trajectory of this male protagonist is too normal, so normal that it does not conform to the values ​​of public order and good morals.

And it's not completely blackened.

Director Wei wants the character to portray a feeling of being both good and evil, which is not easy for an actor to do.

So Director Wei had never considered looking for it among young actors before.

There are many young actors with excellent acting talents, but Director Wei feels that only Mesozoic actors can interpret the feeling that Director Wei wants.

This requires rich life experience.

It is difficult to understand the protagonist's life and inner changes based on the performance alone.

After Hu Jun finished, Song Zuer grabbed the second one: "Director Wei, how do you act like a bitch? I don't quite understand."

Director Wei: “…” He felt that Song Zuer understood very well.

But he couldn't say.

After organizing his words, Director Wei said, "Don't be so bitchy, that's too low-level.

The campus beauty character you play is at most admiring of the strong and materialistic, but in today's era this is not considered a shortcoming.

Just act normally, I believe many people can empathize with it, or at least understand it.

After all, nowadays everyone admires the strong and worships money. To be frank, I am such a person myself.

If I didn't admire the strong, I might not have filmed this kind of mission drama.

If I didn't worship money, I wouldn't work so hard to develop my career.

Zul, just act normally and don't have any prejudice against your role."

Director Wei's words shocked everyone in the crew.

Director Wei is right. Many people are inherently admiring of the strong and materialistic.

Who doesn’t want their parents to be powerful?

Who doesn’t want their significant other to be a billionaire?

But few people dare to admit this in public.

Especially for public figures like Director Wei, there are even fewer.

Director Wei used himself as an example, which made many actors subconsciously change their views on the campus beauty played by Song Zuer.

Song Zuer herself is the same.

Although she thought there was nothing wrong with it, deep down she also believed that the heroine was not a character worthy of identification.

But Director Wei told her, yes.

"Whether it's admiring the strong or worshipping money, or even marrying a much older man - it's all the freedom of marriage granted to modern people by law.

To be honest, this character is indeed unlikable, but if you, Zul, can make the audience empathize with and understand it, it will definitely be a huge breakthrough in your acting career.

If you can make people like your performance, then you have a chance of winning the Best Actress award."

Of course, Director Wei is not optimistic about the latter.

Song Zuer still needs more training.

But what if?

The Russian bear next door was defeated in Moscow within a day. Compared with this outrageous thing, Song Zuer winning the Best Actress award is nothing to Director Wei.

He had seen the Anshi Rebellion led by the Russians.

I've seen big scenes.

The beginning was outrageous, and the end was also outrageous.

unimportant.

The main focus is on reality and not logic.

Song Zuer nodded seriously.

She was greatly encouraged.

At this moment, Han Xue also began to change her opinion of Director Wei.

Although she had always known that Director Wei was very talented, she had had so many candid conversations with him that it was difficult for her not to think that Director Wei was a person who wandered around with women and squandered his talent.

But now, she has rediscovered Director Wei's focus and charm in his career.

When Director Wei got serious, he really made her admire him.

Thinking of this, Han Xue also humbly asked: "Director Wei, the character Gong Xiaojing I played is actually perfect in terms of character design. On the surface, her breakup with the male lead was also his fault, but if you dig deeper, there must be problems with her as well.

Getting to the point of divorce is rarely a one-person problem.”

Director Wei nodded: "Gong Xiaojing's problem is not with her as a person, but with her family, background, and values.

It is unlikely that a poor child from the countryside and a little princess whose family has been upright for three generations will have completely compatible values.

The sense of superiority of children from aristocratic families is deeply hidden in their hearts even after education, but some things cannot be concealed.

This is not the heroine's problem, but it is an objective problem.

Especially when the woman is stronger than the man at the beginning, but once the man becomes stronger, separation is almost inevitable."

Han Xue understood perfectly, so she frowned and asked, "Then how should I act? Director Wei, you said Gong Xiaojing is well-educated and likes male protagonists from the countryside. She actually doesn't discriminate against the poor and loves the rich. How can I portray her inner sense of superiority?"

Director Wei spoke frankly: "Teacher Han, please restrain yourself and act in your true self."

Han Xue: “…”

"Pfft..." Song Zuer couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As soon as she laughed, she realized something was wrong and apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, I just did it on purpose. I was just thinking of something happy."

After saying this, Song Zuer wanted to slap herself.

Which pot does not open which pot.

really.

Han Xue's face became even uglier.

After glaring at Director Wei angrily, Han Xue took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Director Wei, "Director Wei, I'm feeling a little unwell. I'm going back to sleep first."

Director Wei nodded: "Go to bed early."

After Han Xue left, many people present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now they were really afraid that Director Wei and Han Xue would quarrel.

Although Director Wei's status in the industry is unquestionable, Han Xue does have a background after all.

Director Wei is not afraid, but they are scary.

And once the director and the heroine quarrel, it will definitely affect the progress of the entire play.

Fortunately.

Director Wei and Han Xue both got it under control.

Hu Jun boldly said, "Director Wei, please give Teacher Han some face."

Director Wei casually said, "Brother Jun, don't you think Teacher Han has that sense of superiority?"

Hu Jun: “…” Speechless.

there must be.

Even a fool can see that.

Maybe only Han Xue herself couldn't feel it.

Director Wei grumbled, "She tells everyone around her almost all the time that she is a well-educated, wealthy lady, different from the celebrities in the entertainment industry... I believe everyone feels the same way.

The heroine doesn't need to have such a strong sense of superiority, so as long as Teacher Han can restrain herself a little, it will definitely be the easiest role for her to play."

Sohu account @小沂走天下Hu Jun smiled bitterly.

Only Director Wei dares to say this.

But if this happens, Han Xue will definitely hate Director Wei to the core.

Thinking of this, Hu Jun still advised: "Director Wei, after all, Teacher Han is also the heroine of our play, and her role is very important.

Explain it to her privately so she doesn't get upset."

Director Wei looked at the others and saw that they all shared the same sentiment. He nodded helplessly and sighed, "You've been in the entertainment industry for too long. You've all put on masks and forgotten how to seek truth from facts and tell the truth.

Forget it, you don’t want to tell the truth, and Teacher Han doesn’t want to hear the truth. In the end, I, the one who tells the truth, have to apologize.
