Every era has its own temperament, and every age group has its own personality. This is the biggest difficulty.
Audiences who like to watch period dramas are looking for memories from that time. No matter how awesome the plot is or how fleshed-out the characters are, as long as it feels wrong, everything else is nonsense.
"Accent?" Su Ze looked at the script. The biggest difficulty now is the local accent. Last time, a spoon played a fool and had no lines in the whole process, so there is no accent problem.
It can be said that this is the first time since his debut that he has to learn a local accent, which makes Su Ze very excited and a little bit eager for a challenge.
"There's still one week left." I made up my mind and went all out, using the system time difference to study the character and practice the local accent. Four months should be enough.
"Reyiza?" Kong Xue is also studying the script of Love of Mountains and Seas. Needless to say, the golden sign of Noon Sunshine, Kong Sheng's gold medal TV drama director, needless to say, the other actors are all talented actors with good reputations...
Why did the heroine choose Reyza?
I have specifically investigated the background information and found that the major in Beijing Film Academy is good, but I spent most of my time as a model and have produced very few works since my debut. The most famous one is the female supporting role in Chang'an Twelve Hours last year?
If it weren't for the noon sun, if it wasn't Director Kong Sheng, if it wasn't the first time we collaborated...
Is she worthy?
Forget it, it's much harder to get along among a group of acting people than you think. It's like getting a little sheep mixed in among a group of wolves?
Look at the miserable state of Zhao Yuanyuan in The Silent Truth!
What does it mean to be a dramatist? You laugh and laugh in life, and you are kind-hearted. But when you really want to perform more seriously, you won’t give any shit to anyone.
It is common for people to scold someone for a line backstage.
It seems that Su Ze is always at home on the set?
That’s because it’s strong enough!
Try another person?
Do you really think those powerful people have no temper?
hehe!
Kong Xue smiled when she thought of this. She was very dissatisfied with Reyza. She was neither a traffic nor a powerful person, so why was she favored by Kong Sheng?
But it doesn’t matter, Noon Sun’s dramas are famous for paying attention to details. Not to mention the actors, even Fu Hua Dao is a well-known professional in the industry. Do you want to gain seniority in this kind of crew?
court death!
Picking up a script again is risky. If it wasn't produced by Noon Sunshine, if the director wasn't Kong Sheng, and if the cast wasn't good, then I wouldn't let Su Ze try a so-called period drama!
In particular, poverty alleviation dramas are difficult to film because poverty alleviation itself is a very serious matter. Poor people mostly live in rural areas with backward transportation, and the characters are either ignorant or kind and simple.
The poor do have a poor sense of humor, but the middle level is difficult to grasp, and poverty alleviation is a process in which government organizations lead people to become rich.
I definitely believe that poverty alleviation workers are particularly positive and optimistic, and even have personal charm. But the background of the whole process is difficult, arduous and full of challenges.
This determines that many things are not good-looking, such as the clothes are all tacky, the scene environment is dirty, and no matter how handsome you are, you have to be unkempt, so how can you have any sense of beauty?
If young audiences don't like to watch it, it means it's not very profitable, and many film and television companies won't take the initiative to film it. Therefore, poverty alleviation dramas are mostly organized and filmed by official departments.
Official departments make practical things, but they don’t know how to make them look good and attract audiences. Film and television companies know how to play tricks, but they don’t understand the real details of poverty alleviation.
So it’s all about shouting slogans!
The audience is not stupid, you are wearing high heels and shaking a red wine glass to help the poor?
So currently there is no work that is good on this subject!
This is what Kong Xue is most worried about. After all, Su Ze’s TV dramas have been successful since his debut. Even his debut film Psychological Crime is a hit. Now it has more than one billion clicks and it is an 8.3 quality product on Douban.
Especially since he has just been nominated for Golden Eagle Best Actor, it is at the peak of his career. What if this drama crashes?
Thinking of this, I can only smile and shake my head. I have no choice. What can I do without any risk? How can I not give face to the Noon Sun Gold Medal Director Kong Da when he personally comes to invite me?
Young people must step out of their comfort zone, try more and make more breakthroughs, and it will be slapped in that kid’s face, who can bear it!
It can only be said that the right time, place and people are just in time. Su Ze really needs to try new roles and new themes. Three suspense works have already been praised. If the script is not particularly excellent, he will not accept it.
To put it another way, even if the drama about the era of poverty alleviation is not popular, it is a century-old gift film after all. Is it really just for the sake of ratings that so many talented people are involved in it?
The domestic TV dramas that can cooperate with Noon Sunshine have basically come to an end. Kong Sheng is definitely among the top few directors. Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni, Zu Feng, Guo Jingfei are all acting talents...
This luxurious lineup is once in a lifetime!
So what if the ratings plummet?
Who dares to say that actors are poor?
Period dramas themselves are niche. If you don’t like them, there will always be people who like them. Watch it or not!
My eyes returned to Su Ze, who spent every day in the system space, practicing the local accent most of the time, and when tired, he studied scripts and wrote character biographies.
There is no composition, the art is mediocre, the light and shadow have no hierarchy, and the pace is extremely slow.
These are the main reasons why poverty alleviation dramas are not popular with the audience. The background is inherently difficult and difficult. If you film it like this, it will only make it more bitter and hateful. Who wants to watch it?
After all, most viewers watch dramas for entertainment, not for discomfort. How many of them listen to Guo Degang for the purpose of cultivating their sentiments?
I have to say that Kong Sheng is excellent. His background in photography means he is very particular about it. Just by looking at the split shots, you can tell that he is extraordinary.
Take the opening scene as an example, in which the protagonist he plays takes Director Ma to Yongquan Village. The long shot from mid shot to long shot specifically states that a golden filter must be added.
Close your eyes and imagine: the whole world seems to have a warm feeling under the sun. The rolling hills and people riding bicycles form a magnificent and beautiful scenery like an oil painting.
Spectacular!
Su Ze has been to the Northwest and lived in the Gobi, and knows that it is a desolate atmosphere that cannot be described in words.
The opening scene immediately shocked the audience, feeling the insignificance of human beings in the face of nature, and instantly sublimated the theme, highlighting the magnificence of the local people's struggle with the sky and the earth.
The silence speaks!
Scenes like this abound. For example, the protagonist's younger brother Ma Debao fled with a group of second-generation villagers and Shui Hua. When he actually saw the railway at the bottom of the mountain, he rushed down the mountain like crazy and ran away.
They have decided to leave this poor place and take the train to the big city to find a better future.
Here Kong Sheng designed a shot that moves quickly parallel to the character, which is not only full of movie texture, but combined with the passionate soundtrack, the emotions are instantly rendered in place.
Another example is a few friends chasing and playing in the sun. Various long and short shots are used freely, and the youthful reunion is captured simply and without even a single line, and the youthful emotion is overflowing.
