282. Chapter 282 Scene 282 Ge You Doing Something Special

When these applauded comments reached the ears of Han Sanpin of China Film Group, Han Sanpin was very worried and called Li Xiaole to persuade him to participate less in the preliminary publicity activities. Han Sanpin's words were very meaningful.

"Xiaole, you should be more low-key. We Chinese have always admired people who do things silently and are modest. When a modest person succeeds, everyone will give warm applause for their duck-like efforts. Even if they fail, they will not be able to laugh at them.

You are a little too high-profile now. If you speak out your goals and talk about them publicly, there are great hidden dangers. When you fail, everyone knows that you have failed. Even if you succeed, many people will not praise you for finally achieving your goals. They may only remember your pride."

Li Xiaole listened to this and just smiled and didn't explain much. He understood that Han Sanpin was for his own good, but President Han actually didn't believe that he could get a box office of 200 million yuan. He wanted to give himself a vaccination in advance.

After all, everyone has different styles of handling things. As long as his own movie is good, Li Xiaole doesn't care about throwing himself out. Anyway, he is clear about this in the entertainment industry and just grasp the right position.

Amid the debate, time soon came late October. Li Xiaole arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the costume styles of several leading actors were determined, the shooting venue rental, the interior sets were built, and twenty-one thick and exquisite storyboard scripts were produced.

A director once said that a movie is a complex of directors’ personal preferences. This sentence makes a lot of sense. Although it is also a movie "If You Are the One", Feng Xiaogang and Li Xiaole have completely different styles.

The intuitive difference here is the color of the camera. Feng Xiaogang's movies give people a very simple picture, lively but nostalgic, making the viewer feel like entering a warm nostalgic wooden house, warm and peaceful.

The movie scenes of Li Xiaole do feel a vivid and vibrant feeling, as if they can be brought into a green wilderness. The spring breeze blows on his face, making people feel intoxicated.

All this is due to the contribution of the art group behind the scenes. Li Xiaole only needs to propose ideas, and art director Xu Zhen can present the pictures in his mind in various ways. After the two have formed a good tacit understanding after partnering with many works, their styles have become consistent.

After everything was arranged, the crew of "If You Are the One" was all present except for the guest actors, and held a start-up ceremony.

After turning on the filming, Li Xiaole did not rush to let everyone start filming, but began to rehearse according to convention. Unlike before, this story is mainly based on emotional communication, and the delicateness of the interaction between the characters is far beyond the previous "Crazy Stone", so the rehearsal process should be much more detailed, and the entire script must be 7 times.

During the rehearsal, all actors have to gather together to play, recite the monologue loudly, and follow the whole plot several times. This is the rule for filming mainland movies.

But what everyone is strange is that there is an actor with an exception, that is, the starring Ge You. He did not participate in the whole week of rehearsal, but lying on a comfortable recliner, resting leisurely with his eyes closed, no matter who in the crew talks to him, he ignores him.

Everyone who works in film and television knows that the nickname "Ge" has a dual meaning in the circle. One is that Ge You is kind and treats ordinary audiences kindly like an old man, and has a very good popularity.

But there is another meaning, which is that few people are willing to mention, that is, after Ge You became famous, he was in a "uncle" style when filming in any crew. He didn't care much about others. As long as he didn't work, he would lie on a recliner to rest and communicate with Shaoxiao.

This made other actors who worked hard to participate in the rehearsal a little unhappy, but director Li Xiaole gave Mr. Ge privileges and even transferred Xiao Hu from the prop group to Ge You, who had only one assistant, as his personal assistant, to serve him tea and water.

Xiao Hu, who had been in Beijing Film Studio for more than 10 years, cursed while serving Mr. Ge: "Damn... a big-name actor is amazing. When you were acting in "Da Saba", you didn't even deserve to carry your shoes to me."

Lao Jiangtou also saw this situation, and after finishing work one day, he pulled Li Xiaole aside and kindly suggested: "Director Li, you can't be too indulgent to actors. When you really start the show, you can't command it."

Li Xiaole frowned, first walked over and looked at the sofa chair that Ge You sat on. When he noticed the sunken shape on it, he immediately understood. Mr. Ge is different from Jiang Wen. Although he is a big brand, he is very easy to talk. There is a reason for him to do this. When he came back, he smiled and patted Lao Jiang's shoulder:

"It's okay, Mr. Ge's situation is special, I'm responsible."

Lao Jiangtou's kindness was not rewarded, and he stopped talking angrily. Li Xiaole was not worried about this problem, but instead walked over and lowered his head to Ge You, who was lying on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, and asked softly: "Mr. Ge, do you think these actors are good?"

"Very good, quite good..." Ge You, who had been in a state of rest, opened his eyes and smiled weakly: "I see, we can build a character tonight."

"Okay, just give it a try." Li Xiaole also saw that Ge You's condition had almost been adjusted and agreed with a smile.

To make the actors in a love movie have a chemical reaction, they must first become familiar with each other. So on the night after the rehearsal, Li Xiaole called the three main actors including Sun Li, Leslie Cheung and Ge You to his room and began to "establish a role".

The so-called "building a role" means that several major actors also chat together, but they have to chat in the way of characters in the play, such as Ge You is Qin Fen, Sun Li is Liang Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Guorong is Li Xiangshan. Then, when he answers that when he says certain lines to the other party, he is actually thinking, what emotions are there, and what is the real meaning of expressing it.

This way, let several "characters" understand each other and have a tacit understanding when filming, which is much better than the feeling of starting to act in the opposite scene after reading the script.

"First, each of you will read the script separately and ask questions at any time. You have to answer my questions in the character's state. Do you understand?" Li Xiaole explained to the three leading actors.

"I understand." The three actors nodded, but whether it was Zhang Guorong or Sun Li, they were somewhat doubtful about whether Ge You, who had been playing a big name for several days, could read his script well.

But when Ge You picked up the script and read out the lines in it casually and started to "build a character", everyone was surprised to find a phenomenon.

Although he did not participate in the rehearsal at all, when Ge You spoke with Qin Fen, every sentence he said was easily heard from the other three people, and it was very clear.

But when it was Zhang Guorong's turn, everyone would misunderstand his meaning in three sentences, while Sun Li was even worse. Basically, the words they said gave people a vague feeling, such as Sun Li simply used the role of Liang Xiaoxiao: "I'm not available now."

After hearing this, Ge You thought for a while and thought she was saying, "She has time, but she hates me and doesn't want to see me."

Zhang Guorong felt that: "Xiaoxiao must have wanted to be asked for a date, but because it was a girl who wanted face and asked the other party to ask her, she would agree."

But Li Xiaole herself simply felt that Liang Xiaoxiao meant: "She just simply has no time."

This gave Li Xiaole a headache. This is a typical "vague expression". Looking at Sun Li, I asked, "Sun Li, what did Liang Xiaoxiao think at this time?"

"Liang Xiaoxiao is very closed-minded. She is afraid of being hurt. She is worried about something that will happen when she thinks it out, so she is a little hesitant, just find an excuse to give herself time. Think about it." Sun Li stares at Li Xiaole pitifully with her innocent eyes, and says a little sorry: "Director Li, have I misunderstood the role?"

"No, your character's reaction is very accurate..." Under everyone's confusing gaze, Li Xiaole waved his hand and touched his chin with his hand and thought about it, quickly figured out what was going on.

Sun Li had no problem in guessing the role, but she just couldn't express it clearly. The reason was that the character's personality was much more complicated than the role he played before, and exceeded Sun Li's current acting limits.

As for Zhang Guorong... this actor also has an acting problem. His fault lies in his oral Chinese speaking, his poor Mandarin and his weak voice seriously affects their expression of lines and their understanding of the meaning of other people's lines.

Zhang Guorong himself was actually very dissatisfied with him, and he kept showing an incredible expression and thinking. He always felt that other people could not hear the meaning of his lines. How could he be so much worse than Ge You? He didn't have such a problem in the movies of Wang Jiawei and Chen Kai. Why did he have it when he came to Li Xiaole?

This made him wonder if it was a problem with the director's own abilities?

Li Xiaole also noticed Zhang Guorong's thoughts and was not surprised. In fact, this was not surprising. "Farewell My Concubine" that these two actors had collaborated on before was Zhang Guorong, and Ge You cooperated as a green leaf, while "If You Are the One" was the opposite, with Ge You as the main character, and Zhang Guorong as the supporting role, and the role was completely changed.

When Ge You became the leader, the real gap between Zhang Guorong and his multi-faceted acting flaws were clearly revealed.

Ge You's acting skills are really too strong, and it is easy for the actors in the opposite scene to be suppressed. Zhang Guorong needs someone to give a tip to improve his shortcomings at this time.
