"oh?"
Wei Tao became interested. From the time the script was reviewed to the start of filming, he did not participate in "The Legend of the Villain" and did not pay attention to the progress.
What I am interested in are Mira and Qiu Bo, especially the latter. My brother stars in it and I am a producer. As a film co-produced by two countries, practitioners in related industries from both sides attach great importance to it. After all, it is said to be going abroad. After entering Hollywood, how many actors can really gain enough popularity in Southeast Asia and even Asia?
Let’s start by really going abroad and becoming famous.
Because of "Thailand" and "Detective Chinatown", filming movies in Taiguo is very popular, and everyone has seen Wei Tao making a lot of money. There are not many people who have followed suit, and there are many actors who want to join in. few. When they learned that Anshun Entertainment had launched a new project, many people were interested.
The bell messenger in Running Man?
What is that called? Zhu Xichun, is it called Zhu Xichun?
Is it okay if he plays the leading role?
Brother Chao is not an ordinary person, and his ideas cover a wider range of people. He took the initiative to call Wei Tao and asked if he wanted to make a guest appearance. One can imagine what the outside world thinks?
There is no star, he is just an ordinary person without a professional background. Can you watch a movie in which he stars?
The film did not stir up any splash. It was not until the opening ceremony in Taiguo that it regained some popularity in the circle. Tony Jia, a famous martial arts actor from Taiguo, participated in this "The Legend of the Bad" and became a star together with Zhu Xichun. One of the two male protagonists.
Regarding the choice of Tony Jia, Wei Tao knew that he felt it was a bit inappropriate, but there was a huge gap in size between him and Zhu Xichun, and the contrast was not bad.
There were some obvious loopholes in the script of "The Legend of the Villain", and the screenwriters hired to fill them in. Some loopholes in the plot that affected Zhu Xichun's character outfit 13 were still allowed to exist. The purpose of this drama is to make the character Zhu Xichun popular and to make it enjoyable and enjoyable for the audience to watch. It doesn’t matter if the plot is slightly unreasonable, as long as it is enjoyable to watch.
The few people who were drinking did not move. The window facing the street was originally located. The small bar here has an open area facing the street. There are also two tables outside. You can see most of the area inside the bar when you walk past.
"One of the starring actors in it is a friend of mine. This film was created for him by talking to each other when we were drinking during the Chinese New Year." Wei Tao's words actually did not attract the attention of the people present, but when they waited Seeing Zhu Xichun's appearance, I felt a bit hopeful.
There have always been certain rules for how to choose movie protagonists. The reason why the best male actors were around 172cm was because they were in order to play roles with female stars who were emerging around 160cm. Generally, the height difference was not that big, so they could achieve each other's success.
Now that female artists are getting taller, male actors have a wider range of height choices.
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Xichun is not the choice for the leading actor, but the silver-gray suit, the domineering walking posture, and the aura he presents, on the streets of Bangkok, followed by a group of young men, all wearing suits and leather shoes, It completely subverts the perception of people in the world of film and television dramas here. The image of wearing a floral shirt, dyeing your hair and wearing a lot of accessories does not need to be shown on the camera. Just seeing it as a live audience on the street is enough. I feel superior and superior.
Zhu Xichun, who has already received professional training, has specially designed the movements that his physique should have. He has a good foundation, and there is not much pressure when performing. He just needs to control not to make real moves, otherwise there will not be many actors to play with him. I can really withstand his slaps, punches and kicks.
"Hey, that's interesting." At this age, Zi Cong's character is exactly what he likes to give the most intuitive evaluation to many things after his publicity. He is young and energetic, why do I have to pretend to be mature and prudent? I have been destined to complete it since I was born. Why do you have to wrong yourself when you change your class?
"This picture looks good."
There is a big difference between the on-site shooting and the final shot of the movie. If you can make people feel that the picture looks good on the scene, it is really good. With the help of post-production editing, special effects, different perspectives of fast and slow motion, etc., it will look even better. .
He dared to be interested, and the business was almost done. Wei Tao even brought Wang Shicong to visit the crew of "The Legend of the Villain". It happened that the scene where he was the boss and slapped his mouth was being filmed today.
"I told you a long time ago, why don't you eat well?"
There are performances, and there are on-site special effects makeup artists to follow the makeup. It is not the same as before the film is completed, and the visual look and feel is much different.
But Zhu Xichun was wearing a white suit and brown sunglasses, a vest, and a tie. His obviously huge body had to be presented in such a posture, which somewhat broke the constraints of the previous British-style dress.
Holding a puppet, Zhu Xichun performed this performance for Wei Tao and Wang Sicong. He had a thorough understanding of the characters. When performing, the three-dimensional image was in his mind, and he did not need to perform. He showed a fierceness. All that was left was to present him in his natural state. Wei Tao told him what the ideal role would look like. Zhu Xichun's presentation was in line with Wei Tao's expectations, so he no longer asked him specifically how to adapt to the role. The two interacted with each other. Complete.
Zhu Xichun's physical pressure is better than that of the original version, but unfortunately, Zhu Xichun's appearance is much tougher, and he cannot play some silly roles like Ma Dongxi. The acting path is narrow, but still It doesn't matter, it's okay to be able to perform a certain type of role brilliantly. Not all actors have the ability to cover both good and bad roles.
King Yan's drama is okay. As long as you play a positive role and make it 100% successful, you will subconsciously feel that this is a hidden boss who can burst out with more ferocious momentum than the villain at any time. The image of a good guy is just a disguise. If there is no such setting, Basically it's hard for the character to actually succeed.
"Come on, come on, you guys, come and help."
Seeing that Leo also appeared on the set with great interest, Mira who was following him saw Wei Tao's eyes light up and trotted over: "Hurry up and persuade my brother. He said that the younger brother inside has no aura, so let yourself People came to help..."
Wei Tao walked forward with a smile, looked at the men brought over by Leo, and asked with a smile: "Can you understand why we need suits and ties?"
Obviously the environment here is very hot, and the dressing style is also inevitably related to the local climate conditions. In such an environment, a group of people from all walks of life, wearing suits and leather shoes, will make people feel weird?
Eight people came, and they all knew Wei Tao. They knew that he had a close relationship with his boss. They had also met Zhu Xichun, and they cooperated with him without resisting. They didn't understand the plot.
Leo pulled up a chair, sat down on his own, and waved to Wang Sicong: "Green Cong, come on, sit down."
If it were in China, it would still work.
In this three-acre land, Wang Shicong is really afraid of this guy. Let alone him, there is no one in the entire crew who is not afraid.
Those domestic cast and crew who have no idea who Leo is, just need to briefly mention that he is a big shot in the Silver Triangle area. Enough. The kings of that area are demonized outside. They are definitely listed as beings that should be detoured and left immediately when seen from a distance, never approach, let alone provoke.
"Brother Leo, come here, have a cigarette." He leaned over in a very awkward manner, with a smile on his face, handed the cigarette, and lit it. Although he had tried smoking cigarettes more than once in Western countries, he could Here, you can carry an AK to shoot in the tropical rain forest. Facing some large beasts, what is it like to shoot and hunt?
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
"Do you know why you have to dress so formally?" Leo asked, looking relaxed as if this question was not a problem for me: "First of all, of course, we cannot completely replicate the real world. Some things are best left ambiguous. ."
Leo nodded. It is impossible and will not be possible for any country's film and television dramas to completely copy the real world. It is necessary to weaken and blur certain points, otherwise a certain point will be too real and cause trouble to people. The crew It can also cause trouble in itself.
Si Cong said thoughtfully: "I think Wei Tao's meaning is very simple. It divides the classes so that the audience here and the outside audience who don't understand can see something different. Of course, wearing They are so formal and look like employees of a foreign company. They are indeed handsome and have a very cool personality. Such a group of professional people are no longer just gangsters on the street. They also go to high-end places, good places, naturally. There is no shortage of air conditioning, and you don’t feel hot. When you go out, you drive a high-end car, and there is air conditioning in the car. If you go outside, you can take off your jacket, wear leather shoes, trousers and a shirt, and there will be no problem in dressing like this. Division It shows that they are much higher than the group of people wandering the streets."
Leo clapped his hands and applauded. An interpreter had already translated these words to the eight people. He nodded with a little confusion in his eyes. The conflict of ideas made them feel that wearing such clothes is not as good as wearing training uniforms and carrying hot weapons. Comes cool.
Wei Tao smiled lightly and said: "It's just a visual effect, and it's also to match Dachun's character. Don't you think that only a boss dressed like this can make a figure like Dachun look eye-catching when he appears on stage?" ?"
His words were recognized by everyone in the audience. Indeed, with a figure that could fill the entire shot, and appearing in the mid-distance scene, he was the brightest point of the entire scene. Well, it wasn't that he was smaller, he occupied the entire scene. Most of the lens is larger.
Professional jocks and lakers, put on neat suits, and in an environment where the air-conditioning temperature is controlled so that they don't sweat at all. They don't need to perform at all. They can just perform in their true colors. It's just a background board, and occasionally one or two lines. Just show a really oppressive aura.
Really and acted, especially the ferocity of the gangsters played by a group of ordinary small actors is a bit silly, giving people a sense of familiarity. These people are just minions, and they will be beaten when they come out. .
Instead, a real knife-edge blood licker comes up, just follow Zhu Xichun and be the person behind him. There are no lines, no close-ups, and nothing related to the plot. It is just a background board. But the appearance of this background board makes Wei Tao just pay The investor, who was not involved in the project, found an opportunity to smoke a cigarette with the director and talk about his new ideas.
As a result, the two sides coincided with each other. If it is such a group of people, it would be wrong if the deputy allowed Fan Yi to handle it easily. Either the background of Fan Yi should be changed, and it would no longer be purely fierce and powerful; or, then In one paragraph, there needs to be a new plot to show how Fanyi brings down the deputy of the character played by Zhu Xichun.
"Fight hard!"
When the idea of changing it was brought up and discussed, Wei Tao, the director, Leo and Mira, the four people's ideas were surprisingly consistent.
If it's a fierce action movie, then the fight should be fierce. In this way, the audience will have more fun watching it.
If you want to be ruthless, be ruthless to the end.
