"Ahem," Jiang Xiaoliang, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Zhou Yiyang to his right with a look of despair, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother Yang, what should I do now?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yiyang yawned. He was still sleepy and his mind was not very clear.
It is eight o'clock in the morning. Usually at this time he would still be sleeping in bed, waiting for Wang Xingrui to bring him breakfast.
Such a comfortable life is gone forever.
After all, Moonlight Girl’s schedule is too full, so the filming progress can only be accelerated, and that can only be done by compressing the rest time.
Fortunately, the four girls have long been accustomed to the trainee life of going to bed late and getting up early in the show, and now they are looking at the script with full energy.
What Zhou Yiyang gave them last night was at best the character setting of the role he played, but what was in front of them now was the complete script.
After seeing this, they finally understood what kind of story they were going to perform.
Simply put, it is a story about four "non-mainstream" girls who studied folk music and won recognition through folk music.
Everyone sat in a large classroom, surrounded by desks in a circle.
Apart from the four of them, the other actors were all newcomers Jiang Xiaoliang had found from schools and film studios. They all sat together, studying their own scripts.
"If you have any questions while reading the script, you can stand up and ask. I'm your screenwriter now." Zhou Yiyang paused, looked at the troubled Lin Xuan'er, and called on her directly: "Xuan'er, you should have something to say, right?"
This morning, Lin Xuan'er also told Su Yin and Tang Yue about her role. After hearing this, they both felt that their characters had become adorable.
Especially Tang Yue: "If I were to act, I definitely wouldn't want to play an ugly role."
Lin Xuaner mustered up her courage, stood up, and said, "Brother Yang, if I were to dress up as an ugly person, what would it look like?"
Bai Yangyu, Guan Fei and Hu Die were all sitting at the edge, listening in.
"They still don't have the awareness to be actors." Bai Yangyu said to himself.
Hu Die beside him asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
"Mr. Zhou will say that."
Zhou Yiyang seemed to have been waiting for Lin Xuan'er to say this. He didn't answer directly, but turned to look at the other three people: "What level of ugliness do you think is acceptable?"
"I can't do that at all." Tang Yue was still so direct and frank: "I just want to be beautiful."
Su Yin thought for a moment and said, "At least my mother can recognize it, otherwise it would be too exaggerated."
Wang Xingrui was probably the most cooperative: "Anything is fine, but if it's something like shaving my head, I probably won't be able to accept it."
"I can totally understand you, including Tang Yue." Zhou Yiyang still had a smile on his face, but from Bai Yangyu's perspective, there was no smile in his eyes.
"You're idols, so your appearance is important. But right now, you're actors, and you have to be responsible for your roles. I don't think anyone wants to become the kind of person haters describe as someone with empty eyes, no acting skills, and no professional ethics, right?"
Su Yin's face turned slightly red, and Tang Yue, who was sitting opposite her, turned her head away awkwardly.
"But don't worry, Xuan'er. I won't let you shave your head. And you should know the principle of suppressing before praising. The uglier you are at first, the more stunning you will be in the end. Can you do it?"
Lin Xuan'er felt a little ashamed. They all said that they despised the traffic that gave passers-by a bad impression, but they themselves would also have bad thoughts subconsciously.
But just like Zhou Yiyang said, she wants to be a good actor.
"I can do it, Brother Yang." Lin Xuan'er emphasized: "I won't let you down."
"Don't be so nervous," Zhou Yiyang quickly asked her to sit down. "We are just discussing with each other, and you four have never let me down."
"Um," Wang Xingrui raised her hand and said, "Brother Yang, I have a question. After reading the script, I don't quite understand why they included a character like me. In other words, why did they set me as a two-dimensional being?"
"Well," Zhou Yiyang sat up straight. "You're not accurate. You, Tang Yue, and Su Yin all have characters that belong to the second dimension. Su Yin is obsessed with ancient style, Tang Yue is addicted to mobile games, and you like to dress up as a lolita girl. Of course, you all like anime."
Almost all the staff and actors present were college students, and they all smiled knowingly when they heard Zhou Yiyang talk about this topic.
However, when they first saw the script, they were also surprised that Zhou Yiyang would pay attention to this growing group that rarely appears on the big screen.
As the only elderly person, Bai Yangyu went to Dilidili to learn from the script after reading it.
I have to say, there is still a generation gap between him and this group of people.
"As for why this setting is like this, it's naturally to introduce opposition and conflict. The main plot of the script is the conflict between folk music and Western music. And internally, there's also the conflict between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, and between subculture and mainstream culture. Of course, this isn't an art film, so we can only touch on it briefly. And you're the most suitable person among the four to wear Lolita."
Wang Xingrui nodded ignorantly, feeling inexplicably excited, especially after she searched for relevant pictures.
Even if she is a tomboy, she can still have a pink girlish heart.
Tang Yue and Su Yin exchanged a glance. They had the same question, which was also the one they had discussed the most last night:
"Brother Yang, there are a lot of musical performances in the movie. But apart from Su Yin, we don't know how to play folk music at all!"
Su Yin added weakly: "I'm not very good at it..."
"Then learn." Zhou Yiyang was smiling, but in the eyes of the girls, he was simply a devil: "Su Yin's mother, Teacher Ye Kongqing, will be here as the music instructor. She will teach you everything when the time comes. You should try your best to play it as realistically as possible. We will hire professional hands for the close-ups."
Zhou Yiyang was also very clear that even if they filmed for three or four months and studied during that time, it would be impossible for them to reach the tenth level of Guzheng.
Therefore, the parts that require a substitute still need a substitute.
But the audience must not be able to see at a glance that they have no idea how to do it, as that would greatly affect the viewing experience.
When Su Yin heard this, she felt expectant but also a little nervous.
Tang Yue, who was beside him, looked ashen. "Xiao Xiao Su, your mother looks very gentle. She shouldn't be fierce, right?"
"She's very strict in her field of expertise." Su Yin patted Tang Yue's shoulder comfortingly, "So we'll be the ones to suffer. But it wouldn't be bad if I could take this opportunity to acquire another skill."
"That's right," Zhou Yiyang said with a delighted look on his face, pleased that Su Yin had finally come to his senses. "Next time you perform, you can both perform some folk music for your fans!"
