Seeing that everyone in the crew was beginning to have opinions about Lu Yanfan, Cao Hao secretly scolded Lu Yanfan for being too arrogant, but he had to please the crew members, "Everyone, calm down, he is the leading actor designated by the investors, a bit It's normal to have an air of arrogance. Although he was delayed a little bit today, it's probably because he rested too late last night and it won't happen often. Please believe in Lu Yanfan, who is China's top artist."
Because of Cao Hao's face, the entire crew fell silent. Only Tang Xiaoxiao was left instructing the cameraman to adjust the sound of the camera. Ouyang **'s face was very ugly. After all, she was the heroine who had the most difficult time in the crew. , wearing a costume weighing more than 20 kilograms, with thick makeup on his face, and a heavy hair condom on his head, sitting there bored, his anger level has risen to the top.
Finally, with director Cao Hao and everyone on the crew waiting eagerly, a nanny car parked outside. Surrounded by seven or eight assistants and bodyguards, Lu Yanfan walked into the set dressed in casual clothes, his expression full of excitement. With a look of pride, when he saw Cao Hao taking the initiative to come forward, he ignored Cao Hao's stretched out hand, nodded slightly, bypassed Cao Hao, sat directly on the director's chair, crossed his legs, and looked like the arrogant one last night. The assistant immediately handed over a cup, and he took a few sips before raising his head and said, "Director Cao, bring me a copy of the script."
Cao Hao could tolerate his arrogance towards himself, his behavior of acting like a celebrity, and even tolerated his lack of artistic ethics in some aspects, but the only thing that did not read the script in advance completely left him cold. His expression changed, and even his title changed, "Mr. Lu, I think I sent you the script via fax machine a month and a half ago, right? Could it be that, as a professional actor, you are not familiar with the script before filming?" "
As a professional actor, he must be completely familiar with the lines and scripts before filming, so as to minimize the delay of the crew. This is the most basic professional ethics, and it is also a consensus that even newcomers will understand... But, Lu Yanfan, you are a bit too much. Are you arrogant anymore? !
"Oops! We, Afan, are very busy. Our schedules are already full. How can we have time to read the script?" The arrogant sissy assistant raised her orchid finger and said with a look of disgust, "Director Cao, please invite us, Afan, to make a movie. , how come you don’t even have this bit of tolerance? You’re still a director, tsk tsk… You’re so harsh on our Afan, if it gets spread, I’m afraid it won’t be good, right?”
"Shut up!" Cao Hao was completely furious. He glared at the arrogant assistant and threw the script into the assistant's arms. "Here, let's put on Mr. Lu Yanfan's makeup." !”
The makeup artists put on Lu Yanfan's makeup fearfully. Lu Yanfan looked at the script with his brows furrowed. The more he read, the more cold and resentful he became. He threw the script aside and shouted in displeasure, "Director, please!" Please call the screenwriter over!"
As soon as he heard the voice of the troublemaker, Cao Hao glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao helplessly, "Xiaoxiao..."
"Don't do it!" Tang Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed the script in his hand and said impatiently, "I'm going to tell the drama to the extras and actors just now. It's up to you to serve the living ancestor. I I really don’t have a good temper, and would rather train the novices, so that at least they still have some plasticity.”
Cao Hao had no choice but to smile bitterly, and could only ask screenwriter Xiao Ba to "serve" the old Buddha together.
Seeing Cao Hao coming over with screenwriter Xiao Ba, Lu Yanfan raised his chin arrogantly and asked reproachfully, "How did you shoot this movie?! Also, screenwriter, do you know how to write a script?" Huh? Have you ever ruined the protagonist like this? The protagonist was born as a pavilion chief, but he was bullied by others. There is also this part where we can add a passionate scene between me and Lu Pheasant... And this part! I acted with dignity. Liu Bang, as an emperor, how could he be so frightened that he sat on the ground at the Hongmen Banquet? Who is Xiang Yu? He actually stole a woman from me?! And this Yu Ji, how could she follow Xiang Yu in the first scene? No What about Liu Bang? - You are clearly vilifying the protagonist and beautifying the supporting characters! If I don’t need those supporting characters and supporting roles to enhance my stalwart image, do you still want this movie to win the box office?!"
Screenwriter Xiao Ba's face turned green. He held the script in his hand and suppressed the anger in his heart. He forced out a smile, "That's it, Mr. Lu. Historically, Liu Bang was born as a pavilion chief in Surabaya, a commoner class, and was It's normal to be bullied. Most of the reason behind his rebellion was the power of the Lu family. Also, during the Hongmen Banquet, if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, didn't have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, there would really be no way in this world. Whose, as for the mistakes at the Hongmen Banquet, this is just artistic processing. The image of Liu Bang in the previous section is enough. Here, we need to formally show his ordinary side, rather than over-deification. As for Yu Ji... Yu in history. Ji was originally the confidante of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu."
"This is a movie, an artistic process! Do you understand?!" Lu Yanfan frowned and scolded angrily, "As a screenwriter, why don't you have any creativity?! Even if Yu Ji is the overlord of Western Chu in historical facts A woman can have a crush on me in this movie! Even if she kills herself in Gaixia, she can be saved by me and become a part of my harem... The scene where the Overlord of Western Chu dies must also be changed! I want him to kneel in front of me and be stabbed to death by my sword!"
Xiaoba's face turned completely dark, he straightened his neck and roared angrily, "Mr. Lu! Please respect the historical facts, can you?! This drama shows the magnificent battle between Chu and Han for hegemony, not you Personal heroism! To put it bluntly, Liu Bang in history was just a henpecker and a real villain. The overlord of Western Chu was the real hero. You deleted other people's scenes and even distorted historical facts to highlight your own role. , Mr. Lu—could you please have some professional artist ethics, please?!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?!" After being yelled at by a small screenwriter, Lu Yanfan lost his dignity and felt annoyed, but he still deliberately pretended to be a superstar, coldly He said, "This screenwriter, even if he has no ability, actually disrespects the artist so much. Director Cao, please take care of your screenwriter. If you are hungry, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I want to try, what can you do to me?!" Xiaoba raised his neck and shouted forcefully, "I tell you, I wrote this script. According to the contract, anyone who wants to change it must go through it. With my permission... I'll see who dares to change my script!"
Xiaoba is a well-known screenwriter in the industry, and many of the scripts he has written have become box-office elixirs. He is so stubborn in confronting Lu Yanfan because he relies on his connections and strength in the industry, and he also has a bit of a literary self-proclaimed aloofness. in.
"You..." Lu Yanfan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The faces of the actors present, including Ouyang ** and Cheng Mu, were frighteningly gloomy. There is only such a short fixed time in a play, and adding more scenes to the protagonist means that other people's scenes will be shortened. Moreover, according to Lu Yanfan's wishes, the protagonist must be added to the drama regardless of historical facts. Even the overlord of Western Chu who committed suicide in history had to kneel and be stabbed to death by Liu Bang's sword in order to enhance the glorious and great image of the protagonist... You, Lu Yanfan, are the Great, where does this leave the other actors? !
—Even if you, Lu Yanfan, are a big-name celebrity, don’t others just stop being human and don’t need to be respected
What's more, when an actor takes the initiative to ask the director to add a passionate scene, this kind of request is almost humiliating and indecent. Does he really think that the actress who plays opposite you is a doll and a human being? You are a big name, and Ouyang ** and Cheng Mu are also big names. Even if you are a superstar, don't you need to respect other artists
Although it is very common for mainland Chinese film crews to change scripts, when changes are usually made at the request of the director, it is rare for a big-name artist to be so arrogant as to ask the crew to modify the script for him alone, and yet he is so unconcerned about it. The face of other artists.
Facing those gloomy and angry gazes, Lu Yanfan finally realized that he seemed to have offended many artists invisibly, but when he thought about his current status in the industry, he couldn't help but raise his head high, the look in his eyes Even a blind person can see the arrogance and complacency.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was hiding aside, shook his head helplessly and sighed secretly in his heart. In the past, he only taught them acting skills, but he forgot to teach them a more important thing - the artist's ethics.
When performing arts, you must first sell your virtues. Artists without noble morals are just despicable actors in the end...
Cao Hao had a gloomy face, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and went to persuade screenwriter Xiao Ba to hand over this big mess to Tang Xiaoxiao.
The first scene is the scene where the sword kills the white snake. It does not require a large space or scene. It only needs to be arranged in the wilderness and the martial arts instructor teaches Lu Yanfan a few cool moves. This scene is from a According to classical legend, Liu Bang passed by a country alley, and there was a white snake lying in the middle of the road. Everyone else was afraid of this white snake, but Liu Bang cut off the white snake with a long sword, and that sword became Liu Bang's sword in the future, named Qingshuang. .
Cao Hao is not here. Even though there is Tang Xiaoxiao here, the crew is a little uneasy about this young and beautiful girl. However, due to Tang Xiaoxiao's invitation to eat and drink that night, they can only try to shoot once. , just think of it as a rehearsal, right
"Scene 1, 3, 2, 1, action!"
Accompanied by Tang Xiaoxiao's voice, "Liu Bang", a handsome man in linen clothes with a sword on his waist, walked from not far away. Several Chaihu men on the roadside stood there with sad faces, not yet ready. When the lines started, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, already shouted with a gloomy face, "Stuck! Let's do this again!"
Lu Yanfan frowned and glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao coldly. He was stuck in the first scene. Even a big star like him couldn't bear to be so embarrassed. He dropped the prop sword in his hand and folded his arms in front of everyone. He asked sternly, "Tang Xiaoxiao, please explain to me clearly, why did you block me in the first one?!"
Tang Xiaoxiao raised his eyes, looked at Lu Yanfan unwilling to be outdone, and said sarcastically, "So this is all the acting skills of King Lu? With such poor acting skills, why can't I, Tang Xiaoxiao, stop you?!"
"You..." Lu Yanfan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Lu Yanfan, please straighten your posture! Remember on the set, I am the director, you are just an actor!" Tang Xiaoxiao snorted, her charming little face full of coldness and disdain, and raised her arms, "Everyone The department is preparing to do it all over again!”
