This Emperor is Only An Actor

　　 Zhang Yimou heard what Yue Guan said, and his heart was stirred.

　　 There is a saying, he really likes the "Shadow" script, especially the conspiracy calculations in the "Shadow" script. It's very enjoyable and IQ is very online.

　　 But he is also a senior director anyway, and his level is always there.

　　 After hearing what Yue Guan said, he immediately realized his mistake: The script of "Shadow" is indeed online, but it is too petty.

　　 If he wants to make a small historical film with small characters, there is nothing to say, it is definitely a good movie.

　　 But what he is going to shoot is the warring states.

　　 is to seize the world.

　　 That is just conspiracy and calculations, it is not worthy of this background.

　　To solve this contradiction, there are two ways:

　　First, change the background;

　　 Second, change the character and plot.

　　 Zhang Yimou, of course, chose the second one.

　　Because he himself knows very well that he really made those small historical films with small figures, and he has become a literary film again.

　　 And literary films, there is no box office.

　　 He wants the box office.

　　 Therefore, he cannot be willful.

　　 And he also knew in his heart that after being named by Yue Guan, following the directions given by Yue Guan would definitely be more in line with the general audience's hobby.

　　 "Yueguan, you are not authentic." Zhang Yimou pointed at Yueguan and cursed with a smile: "You are too authentic."

　　 Yueguan: "???? Why am I not authentic?"

　　 In order to revise the script of "Shadow" for you, I kept thinking about three o'clock in the morning yesterday.

　　 Do you really think you can figure it out with just a tap of your head?

　　 actually said that I was not authentic and could not bear it.

　　 Zhang Yimou explained: "You knew there were so many problems with "Shadow", why didn't you point it out earlier? Isn't this script yours?"

Yue Guan said: "Director Zhang, the script of "Shadow" is really not mine. It is a script submitted by a screenwriter bought out by our company. From the quality of the script itself, it is indeed very good that the plot after my adaptation will improve this one. The box office of the show may not really improve the reputation of the show."

　　 Take the point of Tian Zhan for example, it is far better to leave blank in the eyes of many audiences who like to pretend than to make it clear.

　　 There is also an ending. The blank space of the original script leaves a variety of divergent thinking possibilities, but after being changed by Yue Guan, the ending is basically fixed, which is a point reduction in the eyes of many big V.

　　 includes improving the format of a play, no longer letting "Shadow" be small, but really telling a grand story and proposition, which is actually not the favorite of film critics.

　　 Otherwise, Zhang Yimou would not like the tone of "Shadow".

　　 But what Yue Guan can confirm is that after he makes such a change, the audience will definitely like it more.

　　 Because, as Yue Guan always said, the audience is relaxed to watch a movie, not to use their heads. As for historical movies, when the audience goes to the cinema to watch, they certainly don’t just want to see shadows, assassinations, love jade, tear x...

　　 But the big directors of our country seem to be able to see only these. Obviously, there are so many magnificent stories in our history, but they have targeted conspiracy, love jade, assassination, tearing x and other things that are not on the stage.

　　 If "Hero" is about the story of King Qin sweeping across Liuhe, wouldn't it be more problematic than filming a few assassins?

　　 If "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is a story about the arrival of all nations in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be more attractive to the audience than the story of a concubine Yang?

　　 "Promise", "Night Banquet"...

　　 A great historical classification movie, but the audience is left with endless slots.

　　 can actually be made better. If viewers of historical movies see love and conspiracy, wouldn’t it be good to watch urban movies? Isn't it good to watch police movies? Why look at history?

　　 Zhang Yimou has been a director for decades, and he can naturally understand Yue Guan's words very clearly.

　　 He nodded: "It is true that as you said, if you make this change, it will be more straightforward, and your reputation will not necessarily be better."

　　 Deng Chao couldn't hold back, and interjected: "Director Zhang, I think the box office is more important, and there are many kinds of word-of-mouth. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the experts' word-of-mouth is heard or not, just the audience likes it."

　　 He supported Yue Guan’s proposal with 10,000 people.

　　Because Yueguan is an example cited by the governor of Nada.

　　 and Ziyu is played by him.

　　 Originally, he played two roles alone, and the shadows of Dudu Ziyu and Ziyu stand in for Jingzhou, and the role of Jingzhou is to crush Ziyu.

　　 Judging from the degree of brightness, Jingshu also crushed Ziyu.

After Ziyu was defeated by Yang Cang, he was trapped in a cave. He was alive and awkward. He was full of bones, thinking about revenge and hatred. He knew that his wife and the shadow stand-in had gotten together. Only dare to look out the window.

It would be strange if a character like 　　 can attract fans.

　　 Originally, Deng Chao didn't think there was anything. After all, he still has the role of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is still very glorious.

　　 But hearing what Yue Guan said, he felt reasonable.

　　 As the idol of all the people of Peiguo, Du Ziyu, who is both civil and military, is a recognized hero, how can he be like this?

　　 Jingzhou is indeed very bright.

　　 But if Ziyu can be a little brighter, why not do it?

　　 Deng Chao is not stupid, this is obviously beneficial to him, he must firmly support it.

　　 When Deng Chao spoke up, Wang Qianyuan also went up: "Director Zhang, I think what Mr. Yue said makes sense. Although the script of "Shadow" is exquisite,

, The pattern is indeed smaller. "

　　The Tian Zhan played by him has a lot of secret scenes, in fact, on the surface, nothing can be seen...

　　 If the audience is too lazy to use their brains after watching, the Tian Zhan played by him is probably a passerby general.

　　 Wang Qianyuan certainly wanted to highlight his own presence.

　　 And if according to what Yue Guan said, his role must be added with some drama and personality.

　　 Therefore, Wang Qianyuan is also a firm supporter of Yueguan.

　　 Of course, some people support it, and certainly some people oppose it.

　　 Because according to what Yue Guan said, the role of some people must be reduced.

　　 will even be deleted entirely.

　　Because of changing the style of the whole play, the existence of some characters seems out of place.

　　 But they dare not openly oppose Yue Guan even if they have ideas. After all, they have no problem with their brains. They can only pin their hopes on Zhang Yimou, hoping that Zhang Yimou will show his domineering as a great director, and strictly reject Yue Guan's proposal.

　　 Zhang Yimou disappointed them.

　　Because Zhang Yimou's brain is not wrong, he also thinks that the change according to Yue Guan's words is definitely better for the box office.

　　 "Yueguan, how do you think the specific changes should be made?" Zhang Yimou asked.

　　 Yueguan hesitated.

Zhang Yimou saw Yue Guan’s concerns and waved his hand casually: “You don’t have to worry about it, just just say it. This is my play. Even if the script is deleted and changed, the actor’s plot is affected, I will be responsible. , The follow-up will naturally introduce other resources to them."

　　With the status of a national teacher, he is qualified to say this.

　　 And even if he doesn't say that, if he really wants to delete it forcibly, there is nothing other actors can do.

　　 When facing big directors, the actors themselves are weak.

　　 Together with the capital of Yueguan, it is even more vulnerable.

　　 Therefore, Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou have the final say in this matter, but neither of them is the kind of bullying people. If it really affects the interests of the actors, they are still willing to compensate them.

　　 Seeing Zhang Yimou say this, Yue Guan also nodded: "Affected actors can also come to me. Our company has a lot of plays, and we will try to compensate you for some resources."

Zhang Yimou stopped Yue Guan: ""Shadow" is the movie I want to film. I am the director in the crew, and you are also invited by me. I definitely can't let you take the blame for me. Don't worry, although the resources in my hand are not as good as you, But it is still possible to make up for the lost actors. Moreover, this drama is not a success, and next time, I will not retire this year."

　　 Zhang Yimou has said that for this purpose, and of course Yue Guan can't say anything.

　　 Normally speaking, Zhang Yimou really should make up for this consequence himself. Yue Guan changed the script to help him, but Yue Guan himself did not benefit much.

　　 Zhang Yimou obviously knows this too, so he is very on the road.

　　Naturally, Yueguan would not rush to be taken advantage of.

　　 Despite this, Yue Guan didn't say who directly cut off the role. He first changed his role as Pei Wang and Deng Chao as Dadu Ziyu.

"Ziyu is the chief governor of Peiguo and the first person under King Pei. He has made great contributions to Peiguo. Since King Pei has a great talent and ambition to dominate the world, he certainly can't cut his arms. Therefore, King Pei and Ziyu need one. There must be reasons for life and death, otherwise these two characters will become very petty."

　　 It would be fine if it was an infighting in the peaceful era.

　　 In the era of war and chaos, the prince of a country was at odds with his most powerful official. Is this trying to subdue the country?

　　 This kind of setting reveals a breath of faintness, but King Pei is not faint, which is very contradictory.

　　 Therefore, King Pei and Ziyu must have a reason to be enemies.

　　 Zhang Yimou also figured this out quickly, and looked at Yue Guan with piercing eyes: "What reason is better?"

Yue Guan had already thought about it before he came, and said decisively: "Naturally, he is seeking to usurp the throne. The throne that King Pei will inherit belongs to his elder brother, and his elder brother already has a son. You don’t need to set too much detail, just need background. A little explanation, after King Pei came to power, his elder brother’s only son died of illness. This way, Ziyu and King Pei have a reason to be enemies, and this does not affect both of them also have the world in mind. Ziyu is not a traitor, but he is not loyal."

　　 Deng Chao patted his thigh: "Wonderful."

　　 In this way, Ziyu’s people stood still.

　　 Of course, Yue Guan will not deliberately discredit his role, he is not sick.

　　 In the war years, there was a lot of flames, a juvenile monarch and a talented and ambitious prince who was both civil and military. Peiliang was both selfish and for Peiguo, thinking that he was doing his part.

　　 This idea is reasonable and there is not much wrong.

　　 So Tian Zhan is still loyal to King Pei.

　　 Of course, Ziyu's loyalty to the first king is even more trouble-free.

　　 Everyone is right, and the pattern instantly improves.

　　 Deng Chao said "Wonderful", which attracted Yue Guan's attention.

　　 Yueguan set his sights on Deng Chao, and then turned to Sun Li.

　　 "Brother Chao, is it cool to add drama?" Yue Guan asked.

　　 Deng Chao smiled embarrassedly.

　　 He is really cool.

　　 Jingzhou has the most scenes.

　　 After such an adaptation of Yueguan, Ziyu's plot has become both popular and important.

　　 Of course he has 10,000 support.

Do not

However, a movie is so long.

　　 adds drama to him, and the other people's drama will be reduced.

"I'm worthy of you, Brother Super, I must be sorry for Sister Li." Yue Guan gave Sun Li an apologetic look: "In the new script, Ziyu has to be portrayed as a perfect commander, so Xiao Ai's plot needs to be deleted, because In the original script, Xiao Ai is basically a stain to Ziyu."

　　 In front of Ziyu, Xiao Ai and her substitute Jingzhou hugged and even touched at a distance. This kind of play has to express some metaphor... Isn't it a box office cheating?

　　What are you talking about?

　　 There are many ways to express metaphors, and the chicken love opera is the most inferior.

　　 Yueguan doesn't exclude chicken love drama, but the problem is that his revised script really has no place for Xiao Ai.

　　 In the original script, Yang Cang's sword technique is the best in the world, and it is Xiao Ai who cracked Yang Cang's sword technique.

　　 The way to crack it is to suppress the yang by yin.

　　 This is out of place in Yueguan’s new script.

　　 Play with Yin and Yang on the battlefield...

　　 Looking for death is not like that.

　　 And Xiao Ai, a puppet, an ancient woman who cannot control her own destiny, cracked the world's number one sword technique...

　　Additional dramas also have to pay attention to the basic law.

　　 This is really illogical.

Sun Li actually heard that Yue Guan said that she wanted to revise the script to the hero and heroic man. She realized that her role might be cut significantly. She was psychologically prepared, but after being named by Yue Guan, she was still somewhat Uncomfortable.

　　 But she quickly recovered, and smiled reluctantly: "How much do you want to delete, Yue Guan, watch it."

　　 Yueguan hesitated for a moment, and still said: "In fact, deleting them will not affect the plot."

　　 Just let Ziyu talk to Jingshu directly.

　　 In the history of the golden horse and iron horse, don't coerce innocent women anymore.

　　Sun Li: "……"

　　 She thought that her plot would be deleted a lot, but she never thought that Yue Guan wanted to delete all of it.

　　 Not only was she shocked, but Zhang Yimou was shocked.

　　 "Yueguan, delete all?"

　　 "Director Zhang, I just said casually, it's you who decides the details." Yue Guan said politely.

　　 Anyway, if you don't do what I said, I just ran away.

　　 "It's not just Sister Li." Yue Guan turned his attention to Guan Xiaotong and Wu Sanshi.

　　 Both had an ominous hunch.

　　 Unfortunately, this hunch is right.

　　 "The characters of Xiaotong and Sanshi can actually be deleted."

　　 Yueguan opened the mouth and sentenced two people to death.

　　 "In the world of war and war, there are many stories that can be told. The characters and scenes of Xiaotong and Sanshi are very tasteless for the whole plot. It is better to delete their plot, plump Wang Pei and Yang Cang."

　　 Hu Jun wants to like Yue Guan.

　　 Yang Cang played by him.

　　 But he endured it.

　　 After all, Wu Sanshi is still here.

　　 But Hu Jun still admired in his heart: "Yueguan is Yueguan, too insightful, I think Yang Cang plays less."

　　 Yang Cang is the best in martial arts in the script of "Shadow", is the highest commander of the enemy army, and the character prototype is Guan Yu.

　　 Then in the original script, Yang Cang, an invincible figure in the world, was broken by Xiao Ai, played by Sun Li.

　　 First of all, it is stated that there is no discrimination, nor does it hope to attract any boxers. From this description alone, the character of Yang Cang has become low.

　　 Xiao Ai's hanging is also inexplicable.

　　 A woman who had never even been on the battlefield, came up with a way to crack the martial arts of the invincible general.

　　 Other famous generals in the world can wipe their necks and commit suicide.

　　 and defeated Yang Cang's weapon-the umbrella knife, known as the world's most yin weapon.

　　 How do you say, Yue Guan has seen the movie "Shadow" in his previous life.

　　 There is a saying, the picture of the umbrella knife is really beautiful.

　　 There is nothing wrong with the logic setting of Yin and Yang.

　　The problem is that Ziyu and Yang Cang are fighting on the battlefield.

　　 What the battlefield wants is iron blood, killing, and brutality.

　　 is not artistic beauty.

　　 And the battlefield of "Shadow" is very artistic and beautiful.

　　 is very yin and yang.

　　 But the battlefield has never been related to Yin and Yang.

　　A group of elite soldiers fight with weapons from the world's most yin, and their fighting movements are twisted and twisted, like a woman dancing...

　　 Still that sentence, it looks beautiful from the screen.

　　 But it is not a battlefield.

　　 Since Yueguan wants to change the plot, he is going to change all of these.

　　 Zhang Yimou’s ability to schedule big scenes is unquestionable. During the filming of "Shadow", he gave up the ability to schedule big scenes and focused on pursuing his own aesthetics.

　　 And what Yue Guan wanted was Zhang Yimou's ability to shoot his big scenes.

　　 A battle on the battlefield is just a good battle on the battlefield. There is no need to inculcate the inscrutable truths of yin and yang in the audience, and the audience does not need to know these truths.

　　 So the character of Xiao Ai has become unnecessary.

　　 The eldest princess Qingping played by Guan Xiaotong and Yang Ping, the son of Yang Cang played by Wu Sanshi, have actually become less important.

　　 "Director Zhang, what do you think the roles of Princess Qingping and Yang Ping are for the movie "Shadow"?"

　　 Zhang Yimou thought about it, then

Nothing was said afterwards.

　　 The real situation is that these two roles are reserved exclusively for young stars, to be precise, for traffic.

　　 count on them to bring the box office.

　　 But Zhang Yimou's movie, do you still need actors to bring the box office?

　　 Even if it is useful, if Yue Guan is here and Deng Chao is here, Guan Xiaotong and Wu Sanshi are not in the turn.

　　 Deleting their dramas and leaving the saved dramas to King Pei and Yang Cang, for the overall structure of a drama, is naturally more plump.

　　 Zhang Yimou quickly realized this.

　　 So he remained silent.

　　 And silence itself is an answer.

　　 Guan Xiaotong and Wu Sanshi are both child stars. They have a better understanding of the entertainment industry than many adult celebrities, and they don't dare to struggle more when they see it.

　　Although they still wanted to get a good spot in Zhang Yimou's movie, Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou both chose to abandon them, so they could only admit their fate.

　　 Actually, Yue Guan was not aimed at them, but their roles really didn't have to exist. In addition, the version of "Shadow" that they watched at Yue Guan did not become a bonus in the movie.

　　 On the contrary, points were reduced, especially for Yang Ping, played by Wu Sanshi, whose acting and lines were actually blown by Guan Xiaotong...

　　 The so-called acting school among the young stars is very scary.

　　 After finishing Guan Xiaotong and Wu Sanshi, Zhang Yimou reorganized the script and found a problem:

　　 "Yueguan, in this case, wouldn't there be no female characters in the whole show?" Zhang Yimou frowned.

　　 Yueguan asked, "If there is no female role, is it suspected of discrimination against women?"

　　 Zhang Yimou: "Definitely not suspected."

　　 "Will it attract boxers?"

　　 "They don't portray female characters, and they will definitely not be insulted. Naturally, boxers will not be attracted."

"So why must there be female characters?" Yue Guan seriously said: "The Soldier Assault also has no female characters, which does not prevent it from becoming a recognized classic. The movie "Shadow" is not suitable for female characters. ."

　　Yueguan is certainly not an enemy of women. He likes beautiful young ladies the most. The number of harems can testify.

　　 But there is clearly no suitable female role, so I have to force one. That is not respecting the female group, but will make the female group more resistant.

　　Because people think you didn't shoot well, it vilified the image of women.

　　The background and story involved in "Shadow" can theoretically have beauty, but it should be the kind of stunning beauty, such as Diao Chan, such as Zhen Mi.

　　 But the main line structure of "Shadow" is war and seizing the city, so the beauty is meaningless.

　　 will reduce the style of the whole show.

　　 Zhang Yimou was persuaded.

　　 Deng Chao reminded in a low voice: "If a female role is not arranged, the boxer will probably also punch, saying that our play discriminates against actresses and does not give them opportunities."

　　 Yueguan: "..." is something a boxer can do.

　　 "Then let Sister Li take a dip."

　　 Yueguan didn't want to cause trouble either.

However, Zhang Yimou seemed very courageous at this time: "No, just do what you think. If we shoot a historical drama with a flood of male hormones, it should be more attractive to the audience. And this can also be used as a promotional selling point. "I should have done this before. It attracted a lot of people."

　　 This is true.

　　Yueguan knows a lot of young ladies. If they can't portray the female character well in a play when they watch a play, they would rather not have this female character.

　　 is destined to be a meaningless role. If it is only used as a vase or decoration, it will not affect the box office if it is removed, or even higher.

　　 Since Zhang Yimou has this courage, Yue Guan certainly did not stop him.

"Actually, it becomes very simple in this way." Yue Guan sorted out the specific points to be changed: "In short, it is the character images of the plump governor Ziyu, Pei Wang Peiliang and the world's number one military commander Yang Cang. These three characters stand still, and the play stands still."

　　 "Which direction should I go to be plump?" Zhang Yimou asked.

　　 "This is even simpler, the superintendent Ziyu, both civil and military, super brother, you play the role of the Confucian, not the abnormal side, is there a problem?

　　 Deng Chao immediately replied: "Absolutely no problem."

　　 "For Yang Cang, Mr. Hu, you can act in the direction of a hero and hero. You can be arrogant, but you have to be invincible enough. Is there a problem?"

　　 Hu Jun smiled: "What I do best is to play this kind of role~www.NovelMTL.com~ I also have confidence in Teacher Hu."

　　 If Hu Jun’s hero does not play well, there are not many actors in the domestic entertainment circle who can play a good hero.

　　 "As for King Pei, it's actually very simple. Just set it to dominate the world and kill anyone who can do anything."

　　 Yueguan didn't want to play a good person.

　　The emperor, especially the emperor in the war years, is so kind, and irresponsible to the country and the people.

　　 The original version of King Pei’s character design is relatively okay, and the character image is more plump, less pretending to be crazy, more decisive and courageous, and adding some short stories, a three-dimensional emperor image is freshly released.

　　 Zi Yu Jingzhou, Pei Wang, Yang Cang...

　　 As long as these four characters stand still, the movie "Shadow" can stand still.

　　 In a world of great controversy, heroes come forth in large numbers.

　　 The governor of both civil and military, majestic and heroic.

　　境

The state hides in the body, waiting for the time to move.

　　 Yang Cang is invincible in the world, invincible.

　　 Peiwang is a multi-faceted hero, looking at the world.

　　 The story between these four men is enough to make a wonderful historical drama.
