Xu Zhou has set up the project of "Love Apartment", which is why some outsiders are not optimistic about it.
It’s because whether it’s this world or the original time and space, there are simply not too many military-themed movies and TV dramas that hit the streets!
It can be said that if one hundred military-themed film and television dramas were planned, ninety-nine of them would be bad movies!
In the original time and space, everyone can regard military film and television dramas as classics. In addition to "Soldier Assault", "Bright Sword" and "My Commander, My Regiment" and other few good-looking military TV dramas, the others are nothing more than
They are some "divine dramas" of varying levels.
The director treats the audience as fools, tearing apart Japanese who had a good life, hiding landmines in their crotches, buns that can be used as grenades, and there are too many ridiculous plots to count.
So many netizens joked that if history were really like this, the whole Sakura Country would have been red flag!
Why are "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword" so popular?
In addition to the plot, the other thing is that these two dramas do not deviate from the tone of ordinary people!
Xu Sanduo is an ordinary person, and so is Li Yunlong.
One is honest and upright, while the other is carefree and rude from time to time.
The protagonist is not aloof and does not wear a glamorous coat.
Even if the protagonist has many shortcomings and bad habits, he will still be loved by the audience.
There is no shortage of audiences for military themes, but what is lacking is the director's careful production.
In the current market, directors bow to capital and hire some young talents to act in military themes for the sake of traffic. Is he okay?
In Pan Zi’s words, he couldn’t grasp it at all!
None of them are as good as Gazi's acting skills when he was a child.
Although Gazi has been stealing dogs on Douyin now, his acting skills as a child are nothing to say.
Nowadays, in some military-themed TV dramas, the protagonist goes to the battlefield, his hair is not messed up, his clothes are clean and tidy, and he is still drinking coffee and smoking cigars in the trenches. This is treating the audience as a fool!
Watching this kind of military TV series is better than watching Brother Ji play basketball.
The novel "Soldier Assault" is good.
However, Xu Zhou's establishment of the project naturally attracted some people's doubts. This is a relatively normal thing.
Of course, there are also some competitors who deliberately fan the flames.
With military-themed TV dramas being released, one is released and the other is terrible, so much so that there is a popular saying in the entertainment circle of this time and space.
Military-themed film and television dramas are like sinkholes, and anyone who comes will be trapped to death!
even.
Because there are too many bad dramas being filmed now, the military and military units are somewhat repulsive to the cooperation of some crews!
I think the TV series produced by these directors have seriously affected the positive image of the army!
In fact, the army does not exclude the filming of military-themed TV series. The army itself has publicity and literary and art departments.
In the original time and space, there was also a film studio responsible for the shooting and production of related movies.
You can learn about the famous Bayi Film Studio.
Xu Zhou's filming of "Soldier Assault" this time involved dealing with the troops.
Fortunately, Xu Zhou's reputation is still good.
Qingcheng's communication and negotiation with a certain local department went relatively smoothly. When the other party agreed to allow the crew to film, they would give the green light and cooperate with the filming.
Another thing to mention is that the novel "Soldier Assault" is relatively popular in the military camp.
that's all.
The much-anticipated "Soldier Assault" began filming in early August!
The filming location of the crew is not in the Magic City, let alone Hengcheng Film and Television City, but in Yunnan Province!
On the flight to Yunnan Province, Xu Zhou warned the crew: "When we wait in Yunnan Province, everyone should not eat mushrooms casually. The crew will arrange food and accommodation for everyone."
Red umbrellas with white poles are no joke.
For locals in Dian Province, all fungi seem to be edible.
If you get poisoned by eating it, it was undercooked.
Manual dog head.
After the flight lands.
We arranged to check into the hotel and rest for a day before starting the official shooting tomorrow.
The first scene was about squad leader Shi Jin going to Xiarongshu Village to select soldiers.
Mainly for the purpose of becoming talented.
But Xu Sanduo's father, Xu Baishun, asked Shi Jin to stay for dinner in order for Xu Sanduo to become a soldier.
Shi Jin originally did not want to bring Xu Sanduo into the army.
Because Xu Sanduo at that time, no matter how you looked at it, didn't have the slightest potential to be a soldier.
Honest, honest, timid, even a little timid when speaking.
Nothing like a soldier!
Such introverts will not be good soldiers.
But Xu Baishun kept calling Xu Sanduo one by one.
This made Shi Jin feel a little moved.
Because Xu Sanduo's life at this time is somewhat similar to what he was at home before Shi Jin.
Back then, I seemed to be in a daze, as my father and brother scolded me for being useless.
In Xu Sanduo, Shi Jin saw a little bit of himself from back then.
That's why he felt compassion and brought Xu Sanduo into the military camp as an exception!
Xu Sanduo was not qualified to enter the military camp at the beginning.
Academic qualifications are not enough!
At that time, the requirement was a high school diploma, and Xu Sanduo had not yet completed high school.
He is different from Chengcai. Chengcai is older than him. Chengcai gave up the college entrance examination but graduated from high school.
Yunnan Province, Xinqiao Village.
This is an ordinary small village, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The villagers often go to the mountains to collect fungi.
But today.
The village was a little unusually lively.
Because a film crew came to their village to film!
Regarding coming to the village for filming, the crew had already communicated with the local department.
When the crew appeared in the village, many people came to watch, not only the villagers in the village, but also the people and fans who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
It's normal for fans to gather around the crew.
When Hu Ge was filming "The Courtyard", the whole street was filled with people eating melons.
Fortunately, Xinqiao Village is relatively remote, and there are still only a few fans who come here just to see the crew, so it doesn't cause too much of an impression.
If the crew were filming in downtown Kuncheng, there would most likely be a large number of onlookers.
This is why many crews choose filming locations in film and television studios, just to be quiet and without the interruption of fans.
However, the film and television city is somewhat different, lacking some authenticity and pyrotechnics.
So much so that the scenes shot in many TV dramas are the same.
This makes it easy for the audience to play.
The crew also hired more than a dozen extras from the village.
Both men and women, old and young.
When I heard that I was going to film a movie, everyone was very enthusiastic.
In addition to getting money, you can also see yourself on TV in the future, and everyone in the village wants to participate.
However, Xu Zhouyao doesn't have many extras, only about ten people.
When Shi Jin went to Chengcai's home, these people wanted to watch.
The actor who plays Cheng Cai is named Chen Yan, a 23-year-old young actor.
He is quite handsome, but the key is that there is a shrewdness in his eyes.
This is somewhat similar to the temperament of becoming a talented person.
Chengcai, this person, gives the audience the impression of excellence!
To put it bluntly, it is egoism.
Fortunately, later on, Chengcai realized the true meaning of not giving up or giving up.
Stop being an egoist.
Chengcai and Xu Sanduo were both from Xiarongshu Village. One was shrewd and the other was honest, and both later became military kings.
No matter what their personalities are, they were both young and astringent before entering the military camp.
Now.
Shi Jin, played by Xu Zhou, has to conduct a home visit to Cheng Cai.
In the courtyard, eight or nine extra performers were sitting.
They all looked curiously at Xu Zhou, who was wearing a military green uniform.
Xu Zhou is already handsome, and wearing this military uniform makes him look even more heroic!
Xu Zhou...
Or should we say it was Shi Jin, who first briefly introduced the conscription rules to the people in the yard.
In the group performance below, someone kept throwing cigarettes into Shi Jin's arms.
This is a passion of the villagers.
No matter what era, people in military uniforms are always the ones people trust most.
This is the cutest person.
"Hey, chief, are you a soldier or an officer?" a group performer asked in dialect.
Shi Jinwen smiled and said: "Ha, I am just a soldier."
But for the villagers in the village, the military camp is a mysterious and sacred place.
Now that soldiers have come to the village, their chatterbox has opened up, and they can't stop asking questions, one after another to Shi Jin.
"Can the tank and tractor be driven in the same way?"
"Here, how much money can you make in a month?"
"After becoming a soldier, can I still have a girlfriend?"
Question after question made Squad Leader Shi a little overwhelmed.
For Xu Zhou, performing in such a scene is not a problem.
Facing everyone's questions, he didn't know how to answer and was a little embarrassed, but he still had to remain polite.
It was Cheng Wanfu, Chengcai's father, who came to the rescue and interrupted the villagers' questions one after another.
Shi Jin also happened to say to Chengcai: "Chengcai, I just have a question to ask you. I heard your father said that according to your grades, if you take the college entrance examination, you can go to a good university, but why do you give up?
Take the college entrance examination and choose to be a soldier?"
In fact, this is a simple question. Shi Jin wants to know what Chengcai really thinks about becoming a soldier.
But Chengcai came up and memorized a text, which was almost 800 words long.
When the villagers heard Chengcai's "official" answer, they applauded one after another.
Only Shi Jin showed an awkward yet polite smile.
Then everyone clapped and applauded.
What can he do?
The filming of this scene went very smoothly, it only took two takes.
Next, the crew made a small transfer to Xu San's home to film the first two episodes of the TV series, an important plot.
Shi Jin, a home visit to Xu Sanduo!
Shi Jin came to Xu Sanduo's home this time just to tell Xu Baishun and Xu Sanduo that he was not suitable to be a soldier.
First of all, the academic qualifications are not consistent. The army needs to realize high school education. The minimum education level for soldiers is high school. Xu Sanduo graduated from junior high school.
Furthermore, Xu Sanduo's dull and honest character is not suitable for entering the military camp.
However, Xu Baishun tried his best to let his son become a soldier and kept Shi Jin for lunch.
Zhong Yuhe, who plays Xu Baishun, is wearing clothes and has a little pale hair. After some makeup, he looks shrewd and kind, but has a short temper.
Xu Zhou told Fang Lietong about the play for a while.
"Xu Sanduo has no self at this time. He can't hold his head high at home. He is dull, honest, dull and honest. You have to show this character later."
Fang Lietong nodded, feeling a little nervous.
Xu Zhou naturally saw his emotions.
But it doesn't matter.
Fang Lietong was a little nervous, which might help him perform better later.
Shooting begins!
There was back and forth between Shi Jin and Xu Baishun.
Although Xu Sanduo is simple and honest, Xu Baishun is very shrewd.
First, Shi Jin was tricked into staying for dinner, and he was able to beat the snake and follow it with the stick, making Shi Jin embarrassed to speak too directly.
But in Shi Jin's heart, no matter what Xu Baishun said, he could not bring Xu Sanduo into the military camp.
The military camp is not suitable for him, and he is not suitable for the military camp!
After chatting with Xu Sanduo alone for a while, Shi Jin finally expressed his decision: "Xu Sanduo, you have many advantages, but you don't necessarily want to be a soldier."
"In fact, if we don't serve as soldiers, we can still do many, many meaningful things."
After saying that, Shi Jin, accompanied by the village chief, left the courtyard of Xu San's house.
"You, you! You can't even serve as a soldier!" Xu Baishun gritted his teeth and said to Xu Sanduo. He was indescribably angry and extremely angry at Xu Sanduo.
Then he picked up a wooden stick and hit Xu Sanduo on his body.
However, Xu Sanduo remained motionless in the yard, his eyes always watching Shi Jin's leaving figure.
Xu Baishun kept scolding him, "You son of a bitch, you have no future"!
Shi Jin, who had just left, heard the movement behind him, stopped and turned around, with hesitation and entanglement on his face, and embarrassment and intolerance in his eyes, but he was still determined and walked back towards Xu San's house.
This shot of simply stopping and looking back really highlights Xu Zhou's eyes.
What does good acting mean?
In addition to good script skills, it also depends on whether the actor's eyes can speak.
This section, as well as the following section, is the time to test Xu Zhou's acting skills.
The actor who plays Shi Jin in Yuan Shikong is Zhang Yi, who is a low-key actor.
When he played Shi Jin, he was still not well-known, but his acting skills had already reached a very good level.
Especially when he retired from the army, his acting skills exploded, and he could definitely kill all the young talents in an instant.
Later, Zhang Yi participated in many film and television dramas, but most of them were supporting roles.
It wasn't until 2016 that he won the Best Actor of the Year Award for his wonderful performance in "The Chaser".
At this time, it has been ten years since he played Shi Jin!
After ten years of hard work, Zhang Yi finally proved himself in the entertainment industry.
After that, he starred in "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", "Operation Red Sea", and "The 800", and won the Best Actor Award one after another.
at this time.
Shi Jin, played by Xu Zhou, strode into the courtyard of Xu San’s house.
He snatched the stick from Xu Baishun's hand and threw it on the ground.
There is a little quietness in the air.
Shi Jin looked at Xu Baishun coldly, which made Xu Baishun a little afraid to look into Xu Zhou's eyes.
This is a showdown between movie kings.
The coldness in Xu Zhou's eyes and the timidity in Zhong Yuhe's eyes were vividly displayed at this moment.
Although Xu Baishun had a hot temper, was arrogant, and had a paternalistic attitude, at this time, facing Shi Jin, who was wearing a military uniform and showing signs of being angry, he was instantly defeated from his aura.
But Shi Jin gave Xu Baishun face.
Shi Jin said coldly: "Old senior, follow me!"
Shi Jin took off his military cap and placed the satchel on the dining table in the courtyard. Then he picked up the unopened white wine and bit off the cap of the bottle.
He poured two large bowls of white wine into the large porcelain bowls on the table.
The wine bottle was slammed against the table, stirring up the snow-white hops inside the bottle.
Shi Jin grabbed a bowl of wine with one hand and placed it firmly in front of Xu Baishun.
Xu Baishun subconsciously picked up the bowl of wine. Shi Jin touched it with him, then raised his head and drank the bowl of wine in one gulp.
Shi Jin, I never drank alcohol before.
After drinking this strong bowl of white wine, his face suddenly turned red.
Somewhat above.
Xu Zhou held his forehead.
Somewhat awesome!
Next, he will play a drunken Shi Jin.
Although drunk, he still looks like a soldier!
The following scene was also one of Xu Zhou's favorite scenes when he watched "Soldier Assault" in the original time and space.
Xu Baishun and Xu Sanduo both looked at Shi Jin blankly.
I don’t know what kind of operation Shi Jin is going to do.
Shi Jin suppressed his emotions and said to Xu Baishun: "Senior, your son is good. I want him too, but I don't want him. There is a reason why I don't want him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Baishun became anxious again and wanted to say something to explain.
But before he opened his mouth, Shi Jin said: "Don't think that because I wear this military uniform, I don't know what a future is, what a person's future is, and what your son Xu Sanduo's future is. I know all of these."
!”
"But this army is not run by our family. Why are you always forcing me to do this?"
Xu Zhou's mood really got better. When he said the last line, he punched the table with his fist, and all the wine bottles on the table were poured over.
The first half of the last line was okay, but in the second half, Xu Zhou's tone increased several decibels, and the movements of his hands shocked Xu Baishun and Xu Sanduo.
Seeing Xu Zhou's performance, the crew members on the scene felt convinced.
Xu Zhou’s acting skills are truly amazing!
This emotion is well grasped!
This monitor is really angry!
Xu Baishun held his hands and wanted to open his mouth to explain something, but he didn't know what to say.
Xu Zhou continued to play freely.
"I don't understand! I tell you, this is the need of the army!"
"This is...."
Having said this, Xu Zhou let out a sigh of relief, waved his hands with some annoyance, sat slumped on the bench, and muttered to himself, "No time!"
At this time the village chief came up. He thought that when Shi Jin said he didn't have time, he meant that he didn't have time to gather and take the car back to the army.
He said: "Comrade Zidibing has no time, the time has come."
Xu Zhou stood up and slapped the table. He seemed to be a little annoyed and said: "It's not that I don't have time. My time is up. It's that this army has no time!"
Shi Jinyou seemed to be explaining to Xu Baishun: "In this army, there is no time for Xu Sanduo to adapt, no time for him to learn. Xu Sanduo, he may be able to become a good soldier, but if he wants to become a good soldier, he will have to risk his life."
!”
"If he can risk his life, what can he do?! Why do you have to force me to do it?!"
Facing Xu Zhou's questioning, Xu Baishun slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"Oh, this!..."
He thought that Shi Jin was determined not to accept Xu Sanduo by speaking to such an extent.
Xu Sanduo's path to becoming a soldier was completely blocked.
He just hit Xu Sanduo with a stick. Did he really want to hit him?
In fact, 80% of them were deliberately called to Shi Jin who was leaving.
Seeing Shi Jin say this at this time, he felt that he had failed in his performance. He, a son of a bitch, would never be able to serve as a soldier!
Xu Baishun squatted on the ground in annoyance, forming a scene with Xu Sanduo.
Because Xu Sanduo has been squatting on the ground, saying nothing, and showing his dullness to a certain extent.
