This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 23: Script reading

Views:

after an hour.

Basically all the main creative staff of the crew are here.

After learning that Wang Jing intended to drastically change the script, everyone in the room changed their minds.

Most people refused, including several leading actors.

"Director, our drama has been filming for so long. Now that the script has been drastically changed, what will happen to the previously filmed scenes?"

"Yes, the cost of reshooting is very high. Can our crew's funds support it?"

Wang Jing raised his hand, and the room instantly returned to calm.

Then Wang Jing released the big news: "Yang Ma wants to buy our drama."

There was silence at first, and then there was an explosion.

"Yang Ma wants to buy our drama?"

"Oh my God, aren't we going to die?"

"Director, is it true or false? Can this matter be confirmed?"

The four leading actors couldn't sit still either.

If this is true, let alone reshoots, they would all do streaking.

Yangma's platform radiates across the country and even the world. They film movies just to become famous. As long as there are greater opportunities, what's the point of reshoots

Wang Jing did not disappoint them.

"It's basically been finalized. What Yangma means is that if the quality meets the standard, our drama may become Yangma's new year's drama next year."

When Wang Jing said this, the breathing in the room suddenly became much faster.

Half of Yangma’s new year dramas are the best dramas of the year, and each of them can bring in at least 200 million in advertising fees for Yangma.

Therefore, Yang Ma’s emphasis on the New Year’s drama is not comparable to other dramas.

"If the quality is not up to standard, it can only be placed after the new year's drama. Everyone, does anyone still have any objections to modifying the script and reshooting?"

"No."

"Absolutely not."

"Director, tell me how to change it, and we will listen to you."

Only one person asked in a low voice: "Does our crew have enough funds for reshoots?"

Wang Jing smiled: "The crew will invest an additional 50 million yuan, so don't worry about funding. This time I want to create a classic martial arts movie."

Yue Guan and Gao Yuanyuan sat together and could feel Gao Yuanyuan's body trembling slightly.

Her fashion resources have always been very good, but it has been a long time since she had a breakthrough in her career.

This time may also be a good opportunity for her.

Wang Jing was very satisfied with everyone's performance. When he glanced at Yue Guan, he smiled specifically at Yue Guan, and then told his true intention of calling everyone here: "Since the script needs to be revised, everyone's opinions should also be taken into consideration. . You are all the main actors in the drama "No. 1 in the World". If you have any suggestions for your roles, which character you are better at performing, or any suggestions for the entire drama, you can speak freely."

There is a professional term for this behavior in the industry called "script reading". Before the crew starts filming, all the main creatives, including the director and screenwriter, sit together to discuss the script and deepen their understanding of the characters.

Normally this is a common practice, but for the drama "The Best in the World", I have never done a script reading before, and Wang Jing has never had this habit.

In fact, in the entire Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, there are not many crews who have this habit.

After all, celebrities' time is becoming more and more valuable. If you don't cut out pictures, you are considered dedicated, and you can't ask for more.

You may not believe it, but mom Yu is the one who likes reading scripts the most...

It can only be said that there is a reason why Yu Ma is so popular, even though each of the TV series he has filmed has ruined the outlook on life.

Closer to home, Wang Jing expressed his position and allowed everyone to speak freely, but no one really expressed their opinions.

No one knew whether Wang Jing was being polite or serious.

According to Wang Jing's reputation, he has never been a person who can listen to other people's opinions. If you want him to be obedient, you have to pay more.

So everyone is very cautious.

Wang Jing was not surprised and directly named Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, please give everyone a try."

Yue Guan nodded, without being polite, and said bluntly: "Director, I think the humorous style of the previous script of "The Best in the World" can be continued, but it is better to delete some nonsensical jokes. Let me give you an example, Cheng It is right and wrong to give fame and fortune to the beautiful princess "A Bird Flying Fei Feifei". This plot is not only witty but has no laughs."

Guo Jinan asked strangely: "How is that possible? This plot is very funny, don't you think?"

The screenwriter and Wang Jing both nodded.

But except for the Xiangcheng people, no one else agreed.

Yue Guan hit the nail on the head: "We may not be able to understand the laughter of Xiangcheng people. Brother Peng, do you think there is a smile in this plot?"

Li Yapeng hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "I can't feel the laughter, I only feel the embarrassment."

Gao Yuanyuan silently raised her hand: "+1."

Lee suggested: "+2."

Wang Jing coughed lightly: "I know, I will try my best to remove this kind of urban laughter."

He understands that this drama is not made for people in Xiangcheng, but for people across the country.

Yue Guan suggested seriously: "Director, you need a screenwriter from outside Xiangcheng."

Wang Jing took out his notebook, carefully wrote down this suggestion, and then asked, "Is there any more?"

Yue Guan just quit when he saw that he was good, he was just showing off, and it was time for the others to follow.

Yue Guan did not expect that the second person to follow would be Li Shang.

He did not put forward suggestions about his role, but put forward his own opinions on the plot itself: "Director, the plot of the Queen Mother being kidnapped in the palace filmed in the previous episodes is not suitable."

Wang Jing frowned: "Mr. Li, this is a martial arts drama."

"That must also comply with basic logic. If the queen mother can be easily kidnapped, then why don't they just kill the emperor?"

Wang Jing was speechless.

He was just trying to save trouble, why did he think so much.

He wrote this down in his notebook again.

"Any more?"

Several other actors also raised several questions, and Wang Jing wrote them down one by one, but no one knew whether he could change them.

After no one had any new opinions on the script, Wang Jing looked at the leading actors and asked proactively: "Are you dissatisfied with your characters? Since you want to change the script, make a big change."

Guo Jinan: "Director, I hope that the character of Cheng Shifei can be more serious, more capable of growth, and not too glib."

Li Yapeng: "Director, I hope Duan Tianya can be more pure, hate evil as much as hatred, and become the kind of person who comes from the heart and is kind, rather than a pawn of the gods."

Huo Jianhua: "Director, I hope to highlight the inner kindness of Gui Hai Yida. Although he looks cold on the outside, he is actually cold-hearted and not a cold-blooded devil."

Ye Xuan: "I don't have any requirements. Shangguan Haitang is very good. It would be nice if there were more emotional scenes."

Yue Guan looked very strange when he heard the appeals of the four protagonists.

The artistic aesthetics of these four people are still stuck in the previous era, and they are completely unaware that times have changed.

The old-fashioned aesthetic is no longer liked by the audience of this era.

If the characters were created according to their requirements, even one of the four main protagonists might not be able to attract many fans.

Just as Gao Yuanyuan was about to speak, Yue Guan poked her and whispered: "It's black to the end."

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned.

"Believe me, let Yagyu Piaoxu be black to the end."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't know what Yue Guan was doing, but after thinking about it, she still believed that Yue Guan would not harm her, so she said: "Director, I hope that the character of Yagyu Shengpiaoxu can be darker. Even better, there is no need to die for Duan Tianya."

Wang Jing was stunned.

Everyone present was stunned.

"Yuanyuan, you said you want Liu Shengpiaoxu to be black to the end?" Wang Jing asked again.

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Yue Guan, gritted her teeth, and nodded: "Yes, I personally prefer those settings where the villain will not regret until death. There are too many villains who repent before dying. I hope to play some Challenging role.”

The way Wang Jing looked at Gao Yuanyuan was a little different.

He is a director and a big commercial director, so his vision is naturally much better than that of the four leading actors.

If you want others to remember a character, in addition to the actor's performance, it also depends on the character's personality.

The more extreme the character's personality, the easier it is to remember.

Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers" is a typical example.

But few stars, especially female stars, are willing to play such a role.

Since Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to ask for help, he naturally wanted to fulfill her request.

Yue Guan coughed slightly and made his own request: "Director, I hope my character will be a little darker, and there is no need to be too majestic and upright. I should give up what should be given up, should be cold-blooded, and do not put friendship first. Put profit first in everything.”

Hearing what Yue Guan said, several of the leading actors looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.

As everyone knows, they are also a bunch of idiots in Yue Caring.

A bunch of mentally retarded people, no matter what age they are, they still play Gao Daquan.

Times have changed.

Those who cannot keep up with the times are destined to be abandoned by the times.

And he will take the initiative to embrace the times and even lead the times.
