My idol is myself

Chapter 127 Exaggerated performance method 【ask for a monthly ticket】

"Since no one has any objections, let's start assigning roles. The script is tentatively scheduled to be a segment of Three Dozens of Bone Demons. Except for the roles of Tang Seng and Monkey King, you can choose the others at will."

Xu Wenruo saw that everyone was silent, so he went straight to the topic and began to assign roles. In fact, there were not many roles to be assigned. Even though the script hadn't been written yet, Journey to the West was a story familiar to everyone. More or less there is a general impression.

In addition to the four masters and apprentices, the only remaining main role is the bone spirit, but there are nine actors present, and there are only five main roles. Even if it is not clear what kind of adaptation Xu Wenruo can make, but one thing is clear The thing is that someone must play tricks.

Thinking of this, several actors who came behind looked at each other. It seemed that no one wanted to be a standout, but a voluptuous and charming actress in the crowd suddenly stood up. She winked at Xu Wenruo, and then Replied Xu Wenruo in a coquettish tone.

"Director Xu, if I want to play the role of Bone Demon, is it okay?"

"can."

Xu Wenruo answered blankly, completely turning a blind eye to the actress's head-scratching and posing, Xu Wenruo just glanced at her lightly, and agreed to her request, because there were only two actresses in Xu Wenruo's team, since she spoke first, then this The role was given to her.

"Then Director Xu, how should he act? Do you want to give him some advice?"

This actress is very good at climbing. Seeing that Xu Wenruo agreed to his request, she was about to go to Xu Wenruo's side to talk to her again, but she was stunned on the spot by a single sentence.

"It's very simple. Your current image and tone are very suitable, and you just need to restrain yourself a little bit."

Before Xu Wenruo finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the corner. Xu Wenruo raised his eyes and found that it was Xin Rou who was standing aside, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop.

Seeing the gazes of Xu Wenruo and other actors, Xin Rou was startled, then quickly lowered her head and bowed, apologizing to them.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you, I'm sorry."

After Xin Rou apologized, she lowered her head and said nothing, but it could be seen from her twitching shoulders that this little girl had to endure it very hard.

The voluptuous actress was standing in the middle of the crowd. Her expression was very embarrassed, but she did not dare to show her face to Xu Wenruo. She could only stare at Xin Rou with fierce eyes, but this could not stop the other actors from using her. He looked at her strangely.

Xu Wenruo didn't want to humiliate the actress, he really couldn't understand the actress's style, so he made a little joke with her, which was also a lesson for her to become more proficient.

"Wei Xin's tentative role is Bone Demon. I've already remembered it. You should figure out the character first, and I'll send you the script when the time comes."

Xu Wenruo flipped through the information in his hand and recognized the actress's name. However, Xu Wenruo had no intention of dealing with her, so he waved his hand and asked her to wait aside.

"As for you, there are not many roles left. If you can't choose, then you can only wait for the time being."

Xu Wenruo is definitely not in a hurry, but after listening to Xu Wenruo's words, these actors slowly began to worry. Seeing that there is one less character, even if it is a female character, the remaining actors are full of tension. After all, there are still too many monks and too few porridge.

"Director Xu, can I choose Bajie?"

"Director Xu, I'm physically strong, so it's definitely not a problem to play Drifting Monk."

After Xu Wenruo chose two more people in the order of speaking, the main roles had already been assigned, and the faces of the remaining actors were not very good-looking, and the remaining actress couldn't help but ask Xu Wenruo.

"Director Xu, what should we do? Is there any role to choose from?"

"Not for the time being, but don't worry, I will definitely arrange for you. There won't be too many scenes. I said that everyone will be treated equally."

Even with Xu Wenruo's guarantee, the expressions of the remaining four actors are still very ugly. After all, they don't know whether Xu Wenruo will fulfill his promise. In this intriguing entertainment circle, trust is very difficult.

After assigning roles, it was getting late, and the program team started to call it a day. Today's recording had also come to an end, and the staff also needed to rest. Xu Wenruo could only comfort the rest of the actors again, and then left the studio.

His current task is very heavy, because Xu Wenruo has made relatively large changes to the plot, instead of acting in the form of a TV series, it is equivalent to writing a new book.

At this time, Xu Wenruo only has one day at most. He has to finish the script so as not to delay the subsequent preparations. After all, costumes, props, and rehearsal of the actors still need a lot of time. Although the first episode of the program is not so urgent Go online, but Xu Wenruo is unwilling to delay the time.

When Xu Wenruo returned to the hotel, he just opened his notebook and found that there was still a lot of work waiting for him. In addition to the script creation that was about to be completed, there was also some video editing work for the next few seasons of "Tomb Raiders Notes" that needed to be completed. .

Seeing this, Xu Wenruo's head was about to grow big, but he is not a person who likes to escape, so he made himself a cup of coffee first, then opened the file and started to eat.

The bitter coffee in his mouth gradually returned to sweetness. What Xu Wenruo bought was just some ordinary coffee powder. His need for material things was not that strong. Even if it was coffee, he didn't necessarily have to drink freshly ground coffee.

The bright moonlight shone on the window sill, and Xu Wenruo tapped the keyboard seriously. Could there be the rustling sound of the gel pen writing on the paper? These sounds mixed together, like a chapter of beautiful notes.

……

Three days later, according to Xu Wenruo's script, the program team quickly prepared costumes and props, and several actors rehearsed briefly several times, but some actors couldn't understand Xu Wenruo's adaptation at all.

Even Meng Da, who had a crush on Xu Wenruo, quietly raised his opinion with Xu Wenruo during the break.

"Director Xu, is it really okay for us to act like this? Isn't it a little exaggerated?"

"It's okay, you can treat this script as a comedy performance, and the tone and demeanor should be expressed with an exaggerated demeanor."

Xu Wenruo has a plan in mind. Facing Meng Da's question, Xu Wenruo explained to him patiently. Moreover, Xu Wenruo still values ​​Meng Da as an actor very much.

"Using exaggerated tone of voice and body movements to show the mentality of the characters is actually a way of expression. The more absurd it is, the more it can touch people's hearts. This is a kind of black humor."

"But you must not intentionally exaggerate, especially not to show traces of performance, but to show that this is the choice of the characters in the play, and it is their exaggeration, not the exaggeration of the actors' performance."

"But it's hard."

After listening to Xu Wenruo's answer, Meng Da had a frown on his face, because Xu Wenruo's request was too unconventional and seemed completely different from the performances he had been exposed to before. However, looking at Xu Wenruo's serious expression, Meng Da felt that Xu Wenruo was not deliberately deceiving him.

"You have to have this kind of belief, believe that you are the characters of the crew, and the choices you make are the choices made by the characters in the play. No matter how exaggerated your tone and actions are, you have to convince yourself that I am doing the right thing."

"If you can't accept it in your heart, then how can you show it to the audience."

After listening to Xu Wenruo's words, Meng Da's expression was still in a daze. Looking at his slightly confused eyes and the performances of other actors who were very uncomfortable, Xu Wenruo sighed softly, and then gathered all the actors together .

Xu Wenruo repeated what he had just said to Meng Da. These actors had the same reaction as Meng Da. They felt that what Xu Wenruo said was completely crooked. Seeing this, Xu Wenruo could only teach them how to perform.

So in the next rehearsal, Xu Wenruo had to go off in person, demonstrate each scene to them first, and then teach them how to perform with exaggerated tone and movements.

This situation inevitably delayed the progress of Xu Wenruo's crew. Just when the other three directors had finished rehearsing, Xu Wenruo's crew was still practicing, so some rumors began to appear within the program crew, mainly among the actors. spread.

"Oh, it's a good thing I didn't choose Xu Wenruo. Our side has finished rehearsing, and they're still working overtime. Young directors are just unreliable."

"Director Jiang Kai is better. He greets everyone with a smile on the set, and the entire set rehearses in an orderly manner without any problems at all."

"Although Director Wang Tie lost his temper once in the crew, it was because two actors were really clueless and delayed the progress of the rehearsal. The two of them were scolded by Director Wang Tie and quickly entered the mood."

"I have never heard of director Xu Wenruo's acting style. I suspect that he made up his own nonsense and let us learn. Now I regret choosing Xu Wenruo."

"Xu Wenruo's crew will not mess up the next recording, if this is really the case, then there will be a good show."

Xu Wenruo also heard these targeted words, and seeing Xin Rou's angry look, she was even more angry than the person involved, Xu Wenruo shook his head lightly.

"Director Xu, aren't you angry at all? They actually said that about you."

"How can I control other people's gossip when I have my mouth full of them? Instead of getting angry, I should concentrate on doing my own thing well. I'll give you a message and walk my own path so that others have nothing to say."

Seeing the rehearsal gradually getting into the right track in the distance, Xu Wenruo also breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Wenruo's schedule was very tight, which even aroused complaints from some actors, but it still took some time unexpectedly.

The reason why so much time wasted in rehearsal is that most of the actors are very resistant to Xu Wenruo's required performance method, as if they were discussing in private, these actors think Xu Wenruo's request is not reliable at all.

But their arms can't beat their thighs, even if they don't want to, they still have to follow Xu Wenruo's request. Even if Xu Wenruo didn't act as an example, these actors would not dare to challenge the director's dignity.

They didn't dare to resist Xu Wenruo on the surface, and they could only complain behind their backs. This is something Xu Wenruo knew very well. Let them go.

……

"After several days of intense rehearsals, the four directors have completed their works. Without further ado, let's get to the point. Among the directors, who among you will show it first?"

On the brightly lit stage, Yu Chao smiled and looked at the four directors facing him. At this moment, the atmosphere became tense. Although the program team had made it clear that this was just an appetizer, this time there would be no distinction between high and low. But now that it has been filmed, the audience will definitely have some comments in their hearts.

If it really messes up, it will definitely affect its own brand, so the four directors are very concerned about this directing.

Hearing Yu Chao's words, Wang Tie volunteered to be the first to show. He seemed to be full of confidence, and he glanced at Xu Wenruo, who was far away from him.

"Then I'll just throw bricks to attract jade. I dare not say that I can compare with directors Zhou Hong and Jiang Kai. At least I have to set an example for the younger generation, right?"

"Director Xiao Xu, do you want to comment on my work?"

Wang Tie's expression was smug, and he also heard that the rehearsal of Xu Wenruo's crew was not going very well, so he chose to launch an attack at this time, wanting to catch Xu Wenruo by surprise.

If Xu Wenruo first commented on his work, but then his own work was a mess, then director Wang Tie would have to say a few more words.

Director Wang Tie's calculations were loud, but Xu Wenruo didn't take this at all. He replied in a flat tone without even looking at Wang Tie.

"I'll wait and see what masterpiece director Wang Tie brings."

Seeing Xu Wenruo's flat tone, Wang Tie revealed a sinister smile. He was actually very annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't show it. good-looking.

Yu Chao on the stage waved his hand, and the roar of machinery came from behind, as if a giant was moving. Xu Wenruo also looked at the stage with great interest.

A few minutes later, a stage with a set scenery was displayed in front of everyone. The antique hall had a flag standing outside. A group of people were standing or sitting inside. They were the actors who were about to perform, watching. Their expressions were also full of confidence.

"All units are ready, let's start!"

Director Wang Tie stood up from the judges' seat, with a high-spirited expression, giving orders, as if he was really the emperor of the crew.
