Chapter 70 Acting as the male lead, polishing his acting skills
"tuner".
The title doesn't sound like a suspense movie, but instead has a strong sense of déjà vu as a musical.
Chen Ming didn't say much, but asked Xu Manke to read the script first.
Subsequently,
Chen Ming began to look at Xu Manke's studio.
have to say,
As a first-line actress, Xu Manke built a studio that was much more professional and high-end, both in terms of facilities and environment.
This left Chen Ming a little confused.
Judging from her schedule, she probably doesn't have time to direct and act in micro-movies. Why does she suddenly want to be a director herself?
Could it be that the end of actors is directors?
Chen Ming shook his head slightly and threw these distracting thoughts behind him.
Half an hour later,
Xu Manke read the entire script.
There is only one thought left in my mind: It’s terrifying to think about it!
If you think about this movie carefully, the horrific details are much scarier than the apparent reversal.
No wonder Chen Ming said it is suspense, even the connotation of the drama "The Tuner" vaguely transcends the concept of suspense.
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be human nature.
The evil nature of human nature is clearly visible!
This is a very excellent movie.
But the problem is...
This is China.
The crime rate in China has always been low, and the highest proportion of arrest cases throughout the year are mainly theft.
Can such an impactful movie really be accepted by the public?
no way.
Xu Man used his own wealth to make this movie.
Therefore, she must consider all aspects.
"Chen Ming, your script..."
Xu Man wanted to say that this script was too bold and would not be easily accepted by the audience, but for some reason, she felt that it would be a pity not to film it.
When this movie is made, the box office will definitely not be low!
Chen Ming saw Xu Manke's hesitation and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, let them also read the script."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of Communication University students seemed a little impatient.
Xu Manke passed on the script.
A group of students crowded together and started flipping through the pages.
Another half hour passed,
This group of students all took a breath of cold air.
Is this a script that normal people can come up with?
Thinking of this, these students glanced at Chen Ming quietly, feeling a little more fearful in their hearts.
Chen Ming asked: "What do you think of this script?"
The students were silent.
Honestly, it's great!
But like Xu Manke, they felt that the innovation of the script this time was too great.
Or in other words, how can a person be as dark as in the script?
They grew up in China and had never even had their wallets stolen. Naturally, they didn't believe the things described in the script and thought they were exaggerated.
see the situation,
Xu Manke spoke a little: "Chen Ming, this script is great."
"But some are too... exaggerated."
After thinking for a long time,
Xu Manke can only use two words to describe it: exaggeration.
Chen Ming took out his mobile phone, opened Huabo's hot search rankings, found the hot search about the murder of a young pianist, and said, "It's not an exaggeration."
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was an image of the pianist lying in a pool of blood.
These days,
Xu Manke was worried about the script and had no time to pay attention to Huabo's hot search list. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen.
A big deal indeed!
This kind of news that someone died tragically at home is rare for China in fifty years.
Therefore,
This hot search will be pushed to about a hundred hot searches.
Other students gathered around and looked at this hot search curiously.
Xu Manke thought for a moment and asked, "Did you get the inspiration from this news?"
"That's right."
Chen Ming said perfunctorily.
"My original intention in creating this script was that I didn't want people to forget the darkness hidden in the dark because of the beauty of the present."
"The scope of innovation is indeed a bit large, but it is also full of philosophy."
"At least, there is no problem in earning back the cost!"
Chen Ming said this last sentence to Xu Manke.
What is Xu Manke most afraid of?
Most afraid of losing money!
Chen Ming is very confident that even if the short film is not accepted by the public, it can definitely make back the cost.
In general,
Xu Man is not at a loss.
Hearing the words,
Xu Manke turned to look at the group of students and asked, "What are your opinions?"
The students looked hesitant, then whispered to each other, and plucked up the courage to say, "I think I can give it a try."
This script is very attractive.
For these ungraduated Communication University students, their curiosity is higher than their pay.
certainly,
If they can receive a good script, they don’t need to pay for it!
Chen Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, what are your thoughts?"
Xu Manke was silent for a long time.
After a long time, she looked directly into Chen Ming's eyes, her eyes filled with determination: "Okay, I passed."
This is the first film she directed and starred in!
Her debut novel!!
In this case, you might as well be bold.
Instead of just thinking about getting back your money, what kind of movie would you make?
After making up his mind, Xu Manke was completely prepared to fight with Chen Ming.
Chen Ming looked slightly happy and said: "Since the script has been approved, we must determine the characters in the script as soon as possible. As for some extras, the cost should not be high."
These days, it costs hundreds of dollars a day, and there are many dedicated extras.
Xu Manke nodded.
The movie "The Tuner" is a great test of acting skills.
Especially the male protagonist's facial expression needs to undergo subtle changes every moment, and this change is hidden under the sunglasses.
Chen Ming's own acting skills are not enough.
However, the male students at Communication University were not as good at acting as Chen Ming, so the role of the male protagonist fell to Chen Ming.
There are two female characters with strong presence in the play.
One is a married woman who has an affair with the police, and the other is the male protagonist's love interest, that is, the real heroine.
After some discussion, Xu Manke decided to play the role of a married woman; the male protagonist’s love interest fell in love with a lovely female student.
This girl’s name is also very cute, Wu Xiaoxiao.
"Print a few copies of this script and give each of you one copy. When you go back, study the character's personality traits and inner emotions yourself."
"A week from now, we'll meet here for a trial run."
"The scene of the trial is set to be when the male protagonist comes to perform a piano performance, and the female villain and the male villain test whether they are really blind."
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Manke is quite a bit of a strong woman.
The students all replied: "No."
Chen Ming had no doubt that in addition to attending classes at Yuncheng University, he had another arduous task.
to be honest,
He has no confidence.
He originally just wanted to be a passerby, even if he didn't have any lines, it would be fine if he could show his face.
But I never expected that,
He actually became the male protagonist!
Seemingly sensing Chen Ming's worry, Xu Manke patted Chen Ming's shoulder and said softly: "From today on, you will spend two hours a day to come to my place and I will train you in acting."
"You set your own time. If you really don't have time, it's okay."
The protagonist's acting skills have a huge impact on the entire drama.
Xu Manke also knew the pressure on Chen Ming, and there was only this much she could do.
Chen Ming thought about his time arrangement and found that two hours a day was no problem.
"Okay, please, Miss Xu."
"Call my name."
"Then I will call you Sister Manke from now on."
Xu Manke is several years older than Chen Ming, so it is appropriate for Chen Ming to call her sister.
Before everyone left, Xu Manke specifically warned: The script must not be leaked.
This is a very innovative idea.
If it is copied by others, it will be a huge loss!
Everyone dispersed.
Chen Ming was the last one to leave, and Xu Manke did not try to persuade her to stay. She needed to study the role of a "married woman" in the script.
More importantly, she is very interested in this role.
Chen Ming stood on the street, hesitating in his heart.
"Acting is a big problem."
Chen Ming murmured.
Besides Xu Manke, does anyone else know anything about acting?
Think about it carefully,
It seems there really is!
Tongran!!
Tong Ran's father is a director of a national television station, and he should know some knowledge about acting since he was a child.
