As the saying goes, an individual's destiny certainly depends on his own struggle, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration.
Most of the time, the process of history is actually more important than self-struggle.
It's the same thing if you're on the set.
Even if Yue Guan's performance of the Little Emperor is the best in the world, as long as the director is not satisfied, no matter how good his performance is, the audience will not be able to see it.
Moreover, there is a saying that although Yue Guan has the experience of acting in dramas in his previous life and feels that his acting skills are not bad, if his acting skills are so incredible, Yue Guan himself does not believe it.
Apart from anything else, Deng Chao's acting skills have always been top-notch among actors of the same age. As long as he is not directing and acting in movies and TV series produced by other directors, his acting skills are all online and have always been of a very high level.
Take "Heart of the Burning Sun" as an example. All the actors in the same group are powerful actors at the level of movie stars, but Deng Chao did not lose at all and dedicated his textbook-level acting skills.
Deng Chao's own movies are really bad, and his acting skills are really good when he makes other people's movies.
But with Deng Chao's acting skills, he didn't play the little emperor brilliantly.
Is it because his acting skills are not good enough
Yue Guan does not think that he has better acting skills than Deng Chao of the same age.
Therefore, it is the role that limits the actor's space.
Moreover, the director does not necessarily want the role of the Little Emperor to be too outstanding, lest it affect the main plot and protagonist.
Yue Guan went through the plot of "The Best in the World" again.
In fact, the plot of this martial arts drama is very simple. The main story is that the iron-courage god Hou Zhu, an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, ignored the talents and strategies and established the famous "Dragon Protector Villa" to protect the country and the people. He had Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang and others under his command. The four secret agents are also the four main protagonists of the show.
Duan Tianya, the "Number One" in the world, is calm and composed. He was adopted by Lord Tietan since he was a child. After learning ninjutsu and "phantom sword" from the "Iga Sect" in Japan, he joined the "Dragon Protector Villa" and is one of the four The head of the great secret agent.
The "No. 1" character in the world, Gui Hai, is arrogant and taciturn. When he was young, his father Gui Hai Bailian was killed. He is determined to avenge his father, and his sword skills are the best in the world.
Shangguan Haitang, the "No. 1 Xuanzi", is as beautiful as a peach and plum, and has an extraordinary wit. She knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to medicine and astrology. She dresses in men's clothing on weekdays and presides over "the best village in the world". There are many talents in the village.
The "Number One with Yellow Letters" turned out to be right and wrong. He was originally a gangster in the market, unlearned but clever but clever. By fate, he would become the successor of the "Invincible Naughty Boy" Gu Santong. Once he uses his unique skill "The Indestructible Vajra", his whole body will turn into gold, he will be extremely powerful, not afraid of fire and water, invulnerable to swords and guns, and invulnerable to any poison.
At that time, the power of the government was controlled by Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch in charge of Dongchang. The ambitious Cao Zhengchun was extremely powerful. He had achieved great success in child cultivation and had unparalleled martial arts. He also believed that he was in charge of Dongchang. He had power in the government and the opposition, formed cliques for personal gains, framed loyal people, and committed all kinds of evil.
Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wu are at odds with each other and are always looking for opportunities to eradicate Hulong Villa. But in terms of martial arts and power, he is actually inferior to Zhu Wuli.
Zhu Wuwu spent 30 episodes of plot to paralyze Cao Zhengchun, and finally eliminated Cao Zhengchun in one fell swoop. After Cao Zhengchun's death, Hulong Villa lost control, its strength began to expand rapidly, and Zhu Wuwu also began to show his ambitions.
In the end, Zhu Wuli chose to seek the throne and usurp the throne, but all four of his disciples sided with the little emperor. If that's all, Zhu Wuwu can actually win. In this TV series, Zhu Wuwu's strength is really amazing. He is the best in the world in martial arts and has strong soldiers and horses. Even if the four protagonists work together, they are no match for Zhu Wuwu. .
At the critical moment, Su Xin, the only woman Zhu Wuli truly loved, stabbed Zhu Wuli behind his back and chose to commit suicide. If she committed suicide, she would just commit suicide. She also had her head cut off and given to Zhu Wuwu.
Seeing the head of his beloved woman, Zhu Wuli collapsed immediately.
The hero is sad at the beauty level. This villain BOSS was not defeated by the protagonist, but only in love.
To be honest, this is very unconventional. Generally speaking, TV series have the protagonist defeat the villain.
But Wang Jing is a very thoughtful director. Compared with ordinary directors, he can better understand the audience's preferences.
So in the drama "No. 1 in the World", he let Zhu ignore the invincible in the world, crush all the protagonists, and finally be trapped by love. Such a big villain BOSS, although he has done many bad things, his character is extremely full, and the audience is more interested. like.
Another martial arts TV series he directed, "Little Fish and Flowers", was even more awesome, allowing Jiang Yuyan, a female cannon fodder who didn't even know martial arts at the beginning, to counterattack and become the final villain boss, and this female boss After killing all the people in the entire TV series, only the title was left.
Both heroines were killed by Jiang Yuyan with swords flying from hand to hand. This kind of plot usually only appears in Japanese dramas. Wang Jing dared to film like this in China because he really had some ideas.
Moreover, Jiang Yuyan is more ruthless than Zhu Wuque. Even if she loves Hua Wuque deeply, when she confirms that there is no possibility between her and Hua Wuque, she can still kill him.
In domestic TV dramas, it can be said that there is no more successful female villain than Emperor Yan. Success here refers to being ruthless and decisive, not being trapped by love, killing when it's time to kill, not making ink, not being pretentious, liking men but never depending on them.
Yanhuang and Zhu Wuwu, two classic villains, were both created by Wang Jing.
It can be said that Wang Jing is not a director who deliberately discredits villains. As long as you act well, even if the role is a villain, he will give you space to shine.
The problem is that the little emperor is not considered a villain in "The Best of the World"...
In Wang Jing's drama, a good villain can counterattack, and a good decent can naturally win more applause. However, the supporting role in a decent role has very limited room for performance.
Take the drama "The Best in the World" as an example. Many years later, what everyone remembers is that the iron-hearted god Hou Zhuwu is awesome and infatuated. What they remember is that Shangguan Haitang is beautiful and sassy. They remember that Gui Hai licked the dog with a knife. In the end, I had everything I wanted, and I even remembered Dongchang Cao Zhengchun’s words, “Dongchang needs talents like you.”
What about other than that
Very few can be remembered.
The little emperor of the Deng Dynasty, it is estimated that even the Deng Dynasty himself has forgotten this role.
This is not a problem with the actors. There really is not much room for performance. The role of the little emperor in "The Best of the World" is more like a tool man. He is only responsible for fighting against the mud when Zhu Wuwu and Cao Zhengchun are fighting, and then at the end. It's time to show up.
No matter how good the actor is, he can't excel in this kind of setting.
Yue Guan is thinking about how to break the situation.
After thinking about it for a long time, the best way seems to be to change the script and add a scene to the little emperor...
Do you have such a big face
Yue Guan looked in the mirror and was stunned by how handsome he was.
At this moment, a few lines of small words appeared in front of his eyes:
[You have won the role of the little emperor in "The Best in the World".]
[You have the opportunity to experience the "No. 1 in the World" little emperor personally.]
[Do you want to start the experience?]
Yue Guan blinked and chose "yes".
Then, a door of light appeared in front of him.
Yue Guan pushed open the light door, and then his heartbeat began to accelerate.
Behind the light door, it turned out to be...
