I Really Can’t Act

Chapter 311: My favorite Spring Festival show

Views:

Although the show performed by Mei Zihan and Ma Tiancheng was very low-spirited, it was original anyway, and did not copy jokes from the Internet. In addition, Mei Zihan was the first time to talk about cross talk, and Ma Tiancheng hadn’t been on stage for many years. Combining various factors, the audience's tolerance for their programs is much higher.

Cough, after all, Mei Zihan has never talked about cross talk, so it's not bad that he can perform to this level for the first time.

The plum blossoms were also as quiet as chickens, they didn't engage in needless courtship, but lay down and laughed.

After all, their Meimei herself posted a self-deprecating Weibo, and they couldn't just boast that this cross talk was interesting.

But even if it was boring, Mei Zihan's fans still showed strong fighting power.

For example, in the "My Favorite Spring Festival Program" option, the crosstalk performed by Mei Zihan and Ma Tiancheng was far ahead of the second place with a super high number of votes, allowing the public to truly see what the "fan effect" is.

Some viewers even posted on Weibo that they were coaxed by their relatives and friends to vote for Mei Zihan’s program when they were visiting relatives. If they hadn’t set up a mobile number to vote only once, their mobile phones would not be able to reach them now. on hand.

Mei Zihan finally got his wish and won the trophy of "My Favorite Spring Festival Program" at the Lantern Festival Gala. However, Teacher Ma Tiancheng was not ashamed to go up to receive the award, and Mei Zihan went up in the end.

"To win this award, I know that I have to thank the fans who love me." Mei Zihan is very self-aware, "Everyone should take it as encouragement for me, a newcomer in the cross talk world. I swear, if there is a chance to perform cross talk next time , I will definitely make everyone laugh."

Fans all expressed that what Mei Zihan said had the essence of stand-up comedy, and they strongly urged Anli Mei Zihan not to challenge the duo, and it would be better to go to stand-up comedy or talk shows as soon as possible.

The attitude is so sincere, it is hard to tell whether it is a fan or a black.

However, this incident did touch Mei Zihan a lot, that is - he might really only be suitable for being an actor. Because whether it is singing, dancing, or cross talk, he is obviously not good.

God only opened a dog hole for him to act, so let's work hard on this.

Hey, stop tossing.

After the Spring Festival, Mei Zihan began to prepare the biopic of that great man. The next year will be the birthday anniversary of this great man, and this film will not be released until then. Then, this year mainly left time for Mei Zihan to prepare.

During this year, Mei Zihan needs to delve into the life of this man, read his notes, published articles, and records about him. Even Mei Zihan needed to consult relevant scholars, go to the hometown of this great man to learn the local accent and so on.

One year of preparation time, one year of shooting time.

Such a long span is almost unbelievable for an actor of this era. In this idea, even if it disappears for a month or two, it may lose a large number of viewers, let alone nearly two years

Mei Zihan is now the number one actor in China, and his international popularity is also increasing day by day. The next two years can be said to be a golden period for him, no matter what he shoots, he will earn a lot of money. Even though many people have told the director that Mei Zihan has a high possibility of taking over the script, the director himself is not sure.

What I didn't expect was that after receiving the script and chatting with the director, Mei Zihan agreed to shoot this movie, and gave the film a friendly price, and also promised that the director would do all the homework.

Apart from the filming of the second season of "The Crown", Mei Zihan doesn't seem to have much work recently. It is also a good thing to take time out to enrich himself. His current acting skills have almost reached the bottleneck. If he wants to break through, he must continue to learn and improve himself.

In April and May, Mei Zihan was invited by director Zhou Guojian to his house for dinner. He also came with Li Ruo and several other actors, all of whom were important characters in "War 1940". If it wasn't because Rick was far away from them, Director Zhou probably wanted to invite him over.

Afterwards, several heavyweight directors in the industry also came over. Mei Zihan had cooperated with several of them, and some of them had no chance.

After drinking and eating, Director Zhou began to explain today's theme.

The rough cut of "Fire of War 1940" is almost done. This time I invite everyone to come over to watch the cut of this version first, listen to the opinions of the main participants, and then slowly modify it later. This film is a delicate job, and there is no rush.

Zhou Guojian is a well-known director, so the decoration of his home is naturally not bad. Especially the equipment for film projection is even more rare. Watching a movie at Director Zhou's house, the visual effect is even better than the giant screen theater outside.

"I'm also looking forward to it." Li Ruo looked at Mei Zihan with a smile and said, "I don't know what the last time you performed with Rick behind my back will look like on the big screen? After the director's After the modification, what kind of results will there be?"

Li Ruo was not worried that the scene performed by Mei Zihan would be cut, that scene was definitely a stroke of genius, and no matter how blind the director would be, he would not use it.

"Sister, I'm almost embarrassed by your boasting." Mei Zihan's face flashed unnaturally. In fact, when he thinks back to the scenes he shot before, he is still a little confused.

The filming of "Fire of War 1940" was divergent, because it required multiple locations for shooting and there were many war scenes, so the actors were often still filming the scenes of acquaintances, and they were already filming the ending in the afternoon. If you don't have any skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to adjust.

Although Mei Zihan is a supporting role, the number of filming scenes does not need to be less than the leading role. It's just that the director has the final say on which ones are useful and which ones are not.

The filming time of more than half a year was only a short two hours in the movie.

It wasn't the first time for Mei Zihan to watch a rough cut of a movie he acted in, but his mood was still surging.

This movie is different.

"It's rare for Lao Zhou to be so unconfident about a movie. You used to not reveal a word until the last moment." A director couldn't help but joked, "I also want to see this co-produced movie. What does the movie look like?"

"Stop talking, let it go, let it go!"

Several other directors have already urged.

They have been curious about this movie for a long time, but Zhou Guojian is famous for his slowness. Now that he finally has the opportunity to watch it in advance, how can he say that there is something about it

Under the urging of several directors, "Fire of War 1940" soon began to be shown on the screen.

War-themed movies often start with the scene of the flames of war, so as to achieve the effect of head start. This will not only attract the audience's attention for the first time, but also improve the tragic nature of the whole movie.

But Zhou Guojian did not take the usual path.

The opening of his movie is not the raging war, but the desolate scene after the war.

Shots from far to near. In the distant view are the ruined houses and roads, even the sky has become gray and the air is turbid. The smoke of the war seems to be directly transmitted to the audience through the screen, full of tragic feeling.

Then came the close-up.

The close shot is the blank eyes of a little girl. Her face was so dark that she could barely see the outline.

There was a close-up of about three seconds, and then the camera turned to a group of students carrying banners in demonstrations, probably protesting the government's inaction and demanding to take the initiative to attack and so on.

Some police officers rushed to arrest people, the students were torn apart, and some even fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, the female Zhuang Xuemei in school uniform officially appeared on the stage.

"Li Ruo, you acted well here, full of girlishness." A familiar director smiled, "The eyes are very innocent, like a student."

"Look at what you said, I'm a girl." Li Ruo said disapprovingly.

For a beautiful woman, age is definitely a big taboo.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

The movie was still going on, and Zhang Xuemei soon met her supporting actor, Li Xingye, but Li Xingye didn't open the door for her. Zhang Xuemei's eyes gradually became gloomy, and her repeated failures made her shake what she firmly believed in.

When Mei Zihan played Li Xingye, he almost showed up without makeup, and his clothes were not very good. In addition, Mei Zihan intended to play the character of Li Xingye's cowardice, and naturally there was a bit of wretchedness between his brows, making this character look ordinary. At first glance, it was almost impossible to connect with the dazzling Mei Zihan on the stage. Together.

However, Mei Zihan's acting skills have been proven in "In and Out", and in "War 1940", it just proves that Mei Zihan's acting skills are wide.

Naturally, such a short appearance cannot create much impression.

The main line is still on Zhang Xuemei.

She is obviously working hard for this country and for the compatriots of this country. Why is no one willing to lend a helping hand to her now? Could it be that she was still wrong? A student, really can't do anything

Just when Zhang Xuemei was disheartened, a foreign doctor rescued her.

The confrontation between Li Ruo and Rick produced a very strong spark. The micro-expressions and acting skills of each of them are quite delicate, and they look real and moving. It is really a comfortable thing to be able to watch such two people acting.

Several directors couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

It would be great if they could invite such actors to film their own scenes sometime. Look at the cast in this movie, tsk tsk!

Soon, the movie continues.

The role of Li Xingye began to increase, but every time he appeared on the stage, he almost didn't have a good image. What he did was definitely not the performance of a positive person.

Could it be that this is a reversal

Yes, these directors looked at Mei Zihan, who had a good chat with Zhou Guojian, and felt that Zhou Guojian would not let such a young man who had a good relationship with him play that kind of role that people scolded.

However, several directors who held this idea finally gave up when the film progressed to two-thirds.

Because Li Xingye's life experience has surfaced.

This can't be whitewashed, pro!

"Mei Zihan, is the Li Xingye you're playing a villain?" A director couldn't help but asked, "I've watched him so far, but I haven't found any bright spots in him."

Generally speaking, no matter what happens in the early stage, this kind of businessman-like character always has to join the revolution in the later stage, so as to show the political significance of this movie.

"Well, it's a tragic character." Mei Zihan nodded calmly, "There is no whitewash."

The director who asked the question gave Mei Zihan a thumbs up.

Such a young actor is willing to take such a role, it can be said that he really loves acting.

In the last fifteen minutes of the movie, Zhang Xuemei and Rick had a fierce quarrel, while Li Xingye went back to his room to see his mother.

"Hey, wait, can we go backwards here." Several directors said in unison.

Zhou Guojian glanced at them silently, but rewound the movie anyway.

In the rewinding clip, it was Li Xingye secretly occupying a corner of the camera and crying.

"This composition..."

"You are so stingy, you don't even give a close-up."

"No, no, I think it's better not to feature close-ups, it's very artistic, don't you think?"

"In that case..."

When the movie was finished, the directors were still a little unsatisfied, and then asked Zhou Guojian to rewind the part where Mei Zihan was crying, watched it more than a dozen times, and then reluctantly let it go.

"I think the completion of this movie is already very high. After a while, I really can't find any faults."

"The latter ending is a bit ordinary. I think it would be better if Zhang Xuemei sacrificed."

"I filmed three endings before, and some of them were sacrificed." Li Ruo said.

"In order to pass the review, the domestic version is tentatively determined to be this version, and it may be slightly revised when foreign awards are judged." Zhou Guojian said helplessly.

Even if he is a great director, he still has to be audited. Zhang Xuemei was written based on a heroine in history. None of the heroines in history died, so how could Zhang Xuemei die

"The last suicide of the character Li Xingye is interesting. He was obviously good at swimming, but he drowned himself." Even when the character is finally released, this character will probably be scolded badly.

It's almost a disgusting person to commit suicide on such a festive day. If someone noticed the crying scene in the small ten-second scene before, it might be helpful. But for the current audience, it’s not bad to watch a movie while playing with a mobile phone. How many people can notice this clip

Zhou Guojian wrote down the suggestions of these people one by one, and then politely sent everyone back.

Li Ruo and Mei Zihan looked at each other, only seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Hey, the starting point of directors watching movies is different from their starting point when watching movies.

Analyzing and watching, but also deconstructing the character of the characters with them at the same time, it's going to kill me!
