Chapter 160, let’s just hold back on our performance

At this moment.

Li Yun came to Hengcheng Film and Television City, the set of "The Lotus Lantern".

Here, there are only people from the 'Heavenly Group'. Not only are the filming divided into two groups, but even the script reading is divided into two groups.

From the Chenxiang group and the Tianting group.

People from the Heavenly Court Group gathered in Hengcheng to read and film.

Wait until both sides have finished their preparations before meeting.

The Chenxiang group members were reading in Leshan. The two sides’ roles were actually separated at the beginning.

A young boy's adventure story centered on agarwood.

A story about power struggles in heaven, led by Yang Jian.

The Lotus Lantern still has some ambitions.

What they want to win over are the 'young people' and 'teenagers'.

Of course, in the end, we chose to focus on the adventure stories between teenagers.

at this time.

When Li Yun arrived here, he found that everyone in the Tianting group was already discussing the script.

Everyone in the Tianting group is a veteran actor.

They are Liu Benchang, Xie Ning, Ma Weiguo, and Liu Xiaoqing.

They are all CCTV's veteran actors and national first-class actors who receive national subsidies.

They are all compiled.

The Tianting group has a truly luxurious lineup, each one more powerful than the other.

Especially Taishang Laojun Liu Benchang, who was once the living Buddha Jigong.

He is an actor who really portrayed the role of Wandering in the World, Living Buddha Jigong to perfection.

Very impressive.

He is a landmark actor.

Since then, no one has been able to create a stronger Jigong than Mr. Liu Benchang.

He is the Living Buddha Jigong himself.

Like other people, he also has his own unique skills and his own unique roles.

CCTV really brought out these veteran actors to play supporting roles this time. "Erlang Shen Yang Jian, right? Come over here. There are still some scripts that have not been completed. Take these and read them first."

Assistant director Yang Hui gave Li Yun a script.

The script is actually quite solid.

Li Yun was a little surprised. This was the first time he got such a thick script. When he opened it, he found that expressions, movements, demeanor, everything, even the most detailed and tiny changes were marked in it.

This screenwriter really takes everything into consideration.

"It seems that all the members of our Heavenly Court group have arrived. We have three days to read together, mainly to help you get a feel for the part. Then we will officially start filming. We will also shoot separately first, so that everyone can finish their own parts."

Assistant Director Yang Hui's arrangements were not all-encompassing, but at least they were considerate.

After looking at Li Yun a few more times, he didn't continue to pay attention to him.

Right now.

Li Yun joined these veteran actors.

In fact, it's like a Husky mixed into a pack of wolves.

Their acting skills, when they were reading together, sounded natural and effortless.

The last time Li Yun had this feeling was by the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis Zhu Wusi.

When they were really reading together, the aura of the characters was already there.

Ma Weiguo’s Jade Emperor and Liu Xiaoqing’s Queen Mother.

On the contrary, Liu Benchang's temperament is not very obvious. Although his acting skills are flawless, he shows the calmness of Laozi in this performance, but from Li Yun's perspective, he still cannot get rid of the feeling of Jigong.

This may be because the ceiling of the roles I played before was too high.

This leads to some deviation in perspective. It’s not Liu Benchang’s problem, but he played the role too well back then, but now he has not surpassed the role he played back then.

In fact, Liu Benchang has never denied this. He is a method actor mixed with an immersion actor. The role of Jigong was the only role he was immersed in. He played all other roles using method methods.

The upper limit is naturally different.

The plot read out this time is when the Jade Emperor orders Erlang Shen to capture Chenxiang, the wicked offspring of a human-god union.

"Tianjun, can you capture Chenxiang and bring him back this time?"

The Jade Emperor played by Ma Weiguo displays his majesty in every gesture.

The feeling of being superior and looking down on everything.

From Li Yun's perspective.

He is the real 'Emperor'.

He was once Zhang Liao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the Jade Emperor in "Journey to the West Sequel".

His outstanding temperament is the absolute sense of "majesty".

Afterwards, Ma Weiguo decided to tone down the sense of majesty.

After all, the target audience of "The Lotus Lantern" is teenagers.

The overall tone, at least the surface tone, should be more relaxed.

Can't be that serious.

This is the meaning of reading in a circle.

Adjust the character's feeling and temperament. Even if you have played a similar role before, the basic temperament is different in different dramas, so the character's temperament also needs to be fine-tuned and changed.

These are all basic skills.

For actors of such a senior level, acting skills are no problem at all.

What's important is fine-tuning the character's temperament and feel.

"But I accept the order of the law."

At this time, Li Yun knelt on one knee to accept the Jade Emperor's order, but he still lacked a little momentum.

When facing the Jade Emperor, there is no way to show the interdependence of "divinity and humanity".

After all, he hadn't completed the creation of 'Erlang Shen'. A middle-aged scholar, he was still a middle-aged scholar.

The third eye hasn't grown on his forehead yet.

This is quite different from the method-school artists who use and integrate their acting skills into the reading to perfection.

but.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After reading part of the script.

These veteran actors also have a basic understanding of Li Yun.

At this time, when a part of the script was being read, at the end of the day, after Li Yun left.

The wolves that mixed in with the Huskies, these veteran actors, were also examining Li Yun and discussing.

"Yeah, he's indeed young and handsome, and his acting skills... well, among young people, he's actually pretty good."

"He is indeed handsome in some ways - but that is definitely not the reason why he can defeat Jiao Jun'en." Xie Ning gave a small thumbs up and said, "I can only say that his background is really amazing. A eunuch-like character can defeat Li Jianyi, and this time Erlang Shen also defeated Jiao Jun'en and Liu Yehong."

"Yes, in order to choose Li Yun, our Heavenly Court group's part, including his part, was cut and given to Liu Yehong. In terms of background, Liu Yehong is more powerful."

"If he's that powerful, why not let Liu Yehong play the role of Erlang Shen? He's not bad either."

"If Liu Yehong plays the role, we might not have much role to play."

"Haha, that's true."

It’s not that some of the veteran actors had no emotions.

After all, it was because of Li Yun’s Erlang Shen.

The Heavenly Group’s roles were cut.

Originally, from the perspective of the screenwriter's emphasis, it is divided into the youth group and the boy group. Now, because the main characters in the youth group are not big enough, out of risk considerations, more roles are given to the boy group. Well, in fact, there is also Liu Yehong in the boy actor group on Chenxiang's side.

It’s probably because of Liu Ye and Hong’s relationship.

Ma Weiguo smiled and said.

"Okay, okay, no matter what, whether we shoot more or less, we won't get a penny more or less in salary, there's no real loss. Not to mention whether we can get promoted at this age, wouldn't it be better for us old arms and legs to work less?"

"You know, at our age, the only thing left is artistic pursuits."

"What I am afraid of now is that actor Xiao Li will not be able to handle the role and ask us to hold back." said 'Zhu Bajie' Xie Ning.

These words really touched everyone's heart.

These are secondary.

The director asked them to hold back while acting.

That is the most difficult thing for an actor, to be completely backwards compatible.

It's more painful than paying them less. "You don't need to charge too much. Just now during the reading, you can practice the role more. During the filming, you shouldn't have a problem of not being able to catch up with the role." 'Taishang Laojun' Liu Benchang said with a smile.

"I hope so."

actually.

Even assistant director Yang Hui felt the same way.

Li Yun seems a little out of place among so many veteran actors. He is too young.

How can I compare with these veteran actors?

After Li Yun left, assistant director Yang Hui came to chat with them.

Although Yang Hui is the assistant director and is responsible for the filming and reading of the Heavenly Court group, he feels that it is fine for these veteran actors to perform freely and there is no need for him, an assistant director with very little power, to guide them.

At this time, I came here to chat as a friend from the same circle.

"I heard that Zhang Da Huzi from the Beijing circle endorsed him. No wonder he was able to beat Li Jianyi in "The World's Number One". He has the background."

In fact, the cooperation among the three circles was a hot topic at the time. Li Yun defeated Li Jianyi in "The World's Number One" and won the role of factory manager, which he was best at, which had already surprised the CCTV circle.

Li Jianyi.

That’s my father-in-law’s specialty.

Although the analogy is not quite accurate, it's like Liu Benchang lost to someone else in the audition for Jigong.

This matter itself is worthy of scrutiny and questioning. However.

At present, Wang Jing's "Eight Heroes" and "Red Fu Nu" have both failed in succession, which has also made people indifferent to the currently delayed broadcast of "The World's Number One" - with three consecutive flops imminent, the role selection is just a topic of conversation in the industry.

"Young people are not without advantages. At least he is much more famous than us old guys in the media circle. Maybe his audience ratings and appeal are not worse than ours." Ma Weiguo smiled and said, "In addition to our media circle, other circles also need to take popularity and current fame into account to a certain extent."

"Otherwise, why do we use 'acting bones' and certificates to divide people, while others can still classify people into third and fourth rate." Xie Ning said, touching his belly.

"So, can we say that our CCTV circle has the feeling of 'transcending the three realms and not within the five elements'?" Liu Xiaoqing joked.

"You're talking like the Queen Mother."

“That is.”

"So, we just need to do our best. If this Li Yun is really too far behind when filming starts, we will have to hold back."
