Chapter 226: Our hero is so slow

The crew came here a day early.

Director Yang Wei even arrived early, and even the heroine Zhu Yuan, the three Kong brothers, and the actor who played the village chief Liu Yuan were all here.

These are the main actors of the entire "Tengu", together with the male lead Li Tengu, they make up the movie "Tengu".

"Our leading man is really slow."

"When he arrived like this, we had already started filming, but he hadn't understood the script, the life in the countryside, or the local dialect. If we delayed the start of filming, it would be a joke." At this time, Liu Yuan, the actor who played the village chief, joked, "This young actor is so impatient."

Liu Yuan is an actor with a regular position at the National Theatre.

In other words, except for Li Yun, everyone else in the crew of "Tengu" this time is on staff. "Brother Liu, don't blame Mr. Li. He may not understand the rules here."

“Well, it’s true. These non-staff actors only think about how to make money and how to act ugly to please others. They don’t understand anything about real movies.” Ma Shengchang, the actor who plays the number one villain, Boss Kong, shook his head at these non-staff actors.

This level of professionalism really made him unable to finish reading.

This is something that all actors who focus on "art" and are part of the cast will do, coming to the local area in advance to collect materials or get into character for a work.

Even learning the local dialect is part of the agenda.

The actors in their establishment could not do something like this, where they only arrived two days before filming.

"Oh, I thought about it wrongly. I didn't inform him in advance. He is not in our system and really doesn't know our rules." Director Yang Wei patted his head. He was indeed negligent this time.

Even the leading female role was a new actor from the National Theatre, but unexpectedly the leading male role was someone outside the establishment.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"It's not Director Yang's fault, it's our superiors who assigned such a person." Liu Yuan bit the dogtail grass, his words and actions were like a local villager. The life he had these days made him closer to the role of "village chief" to a great extent.

Actually, the reason is not that complicated.

The movie "Tengu" is originally a second-tier production with state investment . The key point is that the production side was not optimistic about the "Tengu" project. Because they were not optimistic about it, they became the "victim" of the internal factional struggle. It was the people of Li Modu's faction and the people of the other faction who were fighting like gods and trying to deceive each other.

That’s why the actor 'Li Yun' was brought to the crew of "Tengu".

Of course, the crew of "Tengu" also positioned it as a practice work for Yang Wei, but Yang Wei himself was not reconciled to this.

He felt that his script still had potential.

It’s a pity that the higher-ups didn’t give much confidence to the work “Tengu”.

It's no use just having confidence in yourself.

Has become a victim of the struggle.

Of course, this is also thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the drama theater actors in the crew, who still carefully prepared the roles and scripts according to the procedures.

Try your best to put all your feelings into the character itself.

The current situation is that the people above are not very optimistic about this project. It is only a second-tier production with a mediocre budget. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

With not much confidence in the first place and the male lead not yet in place, the morale of the entire crew is a little low.

However, when the protagonist Li Yun arrived.

This further lowered morale.

"Hello, teachers. I am Li Yun. I hope you will give me your guidance in the coming days. By the way, did you all come here early? How come you all are so familiar with this place?"

"We have lived here for quite a while." Liu Yuan looked at Li Yun speechlessly, "We don't have much time left for you to continue reading. We can start filming in three days."

Actors on the staff and those outside the staff have always been people from two different worlds.

The entertainment industry is also divided into circles.

The resources of serious dramas within the establishment are beyond the reach of actors outside the establishment.

The extra-curricular money and luxurious enjoyment are also what the actors in the establishment can only watch from afar.

However, actors within the system can reach a social status that actors outside the system cannot even imagine through acting.

Both sides may envy each other and not understand each other, but there are also some stereotypes about each other.

Now the stereotype of Li Yun has been fully reflected in the eyes of the actors in this drama theater.

He is indeed handsome.

Zhu Yuan, who plays the heroine Taohua, immediately felt fully involved in the role.

He looks handsome and a bit frivolous.

And very lazy.

But to be honest, Li Yun is indeed innocent of being lazy.

No one notified us, so who knew that the crew would come here to live so soon.

This also gave Li Yun a refreshing feeling.

These actors within the system are just as competitive.

How many actors can immerse themselves in this place for several days in advance? But they also have their own motivations.

Professional titles in art are divided into four levels.

Among them, the first and second levels are senior professional titles. The second-level professional title enjoys the treatment of associate senior professional, and the first-level actors can enjoy special subsidies from the State Council.

Li Modu is a director with a national first-class professional title.

Like actors outside the system, they also have their own promotion paths, and most of them focus on serious dramas, main themes, and contemporary art films.

"Hello, I'm Zhu Yuan, a national third-level actress, and your leading lady this time."

Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to pay attention to what those seniors say. They have their own opinions. You have also achieved some results outside the system. Maybe you are too stubborn and don't really understand what constitutes achievements outside the system. I know that you are actually quite good."

A second-tier movie star.

In fact, it is also a recognition of acting skills.

Li Yun was also very grateful for her understanding, but Zhu Yuan also said at this time that the script and the role are not actually that compatible with your appearance.

In fact, I don’t quite understand why the higher-ups let Li Yun play the role of Li Tiangou.

But since Li Yun was assigned to play the role, Zhu Yuan could only try her best to guide Li Yun to imitate the role well.

Although she also felt that she couldn't copy anything in three days , but that was it.

At least tidy up your image.

Don't be so handsome.

At this moment, Li Yun was also thinking.

Three days.

Make the character Li Tiangou's words, actions, and language clear.

Copy this character.

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

The crew was also very serious.

Although it is a second-tier production.

But the location choice is real. This place is a small village with poor mountains and bad water and no resources. There are not many young people here. Basically, there are old or middle-aged people guarding here. They will also become extras in Tengu this time.

This is also a feature of state-produced art films.

Use local people as extras.

Acting in this way will produce the most realistic effect.

Because of closeness.

"We need to get close to the lives of the people and become one with them in order to play them well." At this time, Zhu Yuan next to him was talking about his own experience.

Or rather, these are the experiences of these actors within the system.

Li Yun only felt his head buzzing at this time.

But it is the voice that makes you feel the land.

The sound of a chainsaw felling trees.

Quickly get the wood down here and take it to the city.

The sound of villagers shouting and cursing.

I can't live without cutting wood! Li Tiangou's deafening voice.

Stop chopping it down! Stop chopping it down! This is state property! However, the sound of the villagers sawing wood never stopped.

However, the persecution of the Kong family never stopped.

Why would the villagers prefer to stand beside the local thugs and bullies instead of standing beside the forest rangers appointed by our country? Even if it is logging, why should they give up a large part of the profits to the bullies of the Kong family?

At this moment, Li Yun suddenly said.

"Why? Li Tiangou, can you tell me?"

The paranoid man next to Li Yun said at this time.

"no."

"I don't understand either."

Zhu Yuan, who was standing next to him, saw that Li Yun was not listening and was doing strange things on his own, so she was helpless. After giving him a few words of advice, she went to the other side to prepare for her role.

The entire script revolves around Li Tiangou.

If Li Yun is not serious, then the script will not work.

Forget it, let's just leave it to fate. It's not my fault if anything goes wrong anyway.

We don't expect to get a professional title based on this movie.

After all, this is an abandoned second-tier work.

I don't expect to win any awards or make any other achievements.

"How's that, young man?"

"I don't think it's good, anyway." Liu Yuan, who plays the village chief, shook his head and said, "He looks too regular, and his temperament is a bit frivolous. Our Li Tiangou is a veteran. I won't say he has a majestic temperament, but at least he can't be so frivolous."

It can be seen that Liu Yuan is quite dissatisfied with Li Tiangou, not only because of his attitude, but also because of the problems caused by his image.

It really doesn't look that compatible.

The fit is not enough.

There is no natural similarity in temperament.

The chief director Yang Wei shook his head but did not express his thoughts too much.

I can only treat it as a practice piece for preparation.

"It's a pity that our work became a victim of factional struggles, otherwise, I should be able to film it well." Yang Wei sighed softly at this time.

Now Yang Wei only hopes that this Li Yun can be a little bit more qualified and can play the basic image of the character.

There is not much hope that this person with connections can perform well.

I don't expect to perform well.
