Chapter 76: Silly Pillar Xu Damao and a few uncles?



After work in the evening, Wei Yang was still immersed in the performance he had just performed.

Regarding this performance, he actually thought of many different performance modes, and also referred to some actors' related highlight performances and even interviews with real prisoners.

The character of Yang Lu is a typical antisocial personality, he is withdrawn, sensitive, radical and extreme.

He had been wanting to kill his three roommates for a long time. He had been carrying out revenge in a planned manner for a long time, and even brainwashed himself constantly. He had a deep obsession.

Maybe he might be touched by some things, but not enough to make him regret and admit his mistakes.

He knew very well that if he was caught, he would be waiting for death. His whole state of mind was almost like a kind of calmness and numbness of giving up everything.

I have taken my revenge, and I am about to die, so it doesn’t matter…

For Wei Yang, the previous few scenes were quite enjoyable. As he said before, he really prefers this kind of villain role.

Compared to normal roles, playing a villain gives me a sense of release and catharsis, which is very refreshing.

Wei Yang was still savoring the moment when He Bing, who had just acted opposite him, came over and gave him a thumbs up.

"Dude, you acted really well just now. Which school did you graduate from?"

"On stage."

He Bing was somewhat surprised: "The teaching level of Shanghai Theatre Academy has improved in the past two years."

Wei Yang was speechless: "Teacher He, our teaching level at Shanghai Theatre Academy has never been bad."

"I know, I know. It's just a joke. Our Central Academy of Drama has a good relationship with your Shanghai Theatre Academy. If you were from Beijing Film Academy, I would speak up for you."

In private, He Bing's personality is a bit like the Sha Zhu he later played in "The Story of Siheyuan". He is a jerk and likes to make jokes. He doesn't have any bad intentions, he just talks faster than he thinks.

If you are more introverted, you may not be able to adapt to their way of chatting, but Wei Yang is okay, and he started chatting with He Bing.

The two also talked about the character and prototype of Yang Lu. In He Bing's opinion.

If Wang Zhong also turned bad and Yang Lu became a tragic character through and through, the conflict effect would be more prominent.

But Wei Yang has a different opinion. He thinks it is the character of Wang Zhong that makes this case and the character of Yang Lu more realistic and three-dimensional.

In his opinion, if the three victims were as He Bing said, they had real hatred towards Yang Lu.

From some perspectives, it can even be seen as a certain degree of bullying against Yang Lu, so some viewers may feel gratified when Yang Lu takes revenge.

But Yang Lu also killed Wang Zhong, an innocent person who even had a favor to him. The nature of the matter is completely different. It will eliminate the audience's sympathy for Yang Lu, and truly realize the bias and extremism of this person, which is also an escalation of conflicts from another angle.

And the most important thing is that although this case has been distorted beyond recognition, it still has a prototype, so Wei Yang has to consider some practical issues.

He Bing had originally thought that Wei Yang's acting was good, so he chatted with him out of interest. Unexpectedly, the more they talked, the more he discovered that this young man was no ordinary person.

With a desire to attract talented people, and knowing that Wei Yang was still a university student, He Bing simply recommended his own company to him.

"Are you interested in applying to the People's Art Theatre after graduation? Fresh graduates have a better chance of applying to us."

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I've signed with a company and may be more inclined towards film and television development."

Wei Yang declined politely. In fact, he had a good impression of the National Theatre of China and had watched "Tea House" countless times.

But even though he has a good impression of him, Wei Yang has no interest in drama, and for the time being he has no plans to affiliate his career with any unit.

Even if he wanted to find some backers, he would give priority to various associations or Shanghai. The People's Art Theatre is good, but it is not suitable for him.

He Bing was still not giving up and tried to persuade Wei Yang a few more times. Only when he saw Wei Yang's firm attitude did he sigh.

“What a pity.”

Wei Yang joked with him about what he had just said: "You think so. Although I didn't go to the People's Art Theater, I didn't go to the National Theatre either."

“That’s true.”

He Bing nodded, but quickly reacted and coughed: "Don't talk nonsense, our National Theatre and the National Theatre have always been friendly neighbors, promoting each other and making progress together."

Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, People's Art Theatre and the National Theatre of China are all enemies of each other, but this is something that can be understood but not expressed in words.

He Bing graduated many years ago, so it doesn't matter if he makes a few jokes about his alma mater and the Beijing Film Academy, but after all, he is now working at the People's Art Theatre, so he has to be careful with his words towards the National Theatre and not destroy unity.

After making up for it, He Bing, who had come to his senses, pointed at Wei Yang and said, "You are setting a trap for me, aren't you? People who are in the theater are quite vindictive."

A long-faced man passed by and came over after hearing what he said: "Teacher He, what happened to our actors?"

Wei Yang was delighted when he saw him and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Hai."

The latter was stunned: "Do you know me?"

"I know you. We have a photo of you in our rehearsal room, wearing a military coat and acting as a peddler."

“Haha, I still have that photo.”

The man with a long face was smiling happily. His name was Hai Yitian, and he was a student of the 1993 class of Shanghai Theatre Academy. He was a classmate of Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, and Liao Fan.

Interestingly, he is from Beijing, so he has acted in many Beijing-style dramas. His most representative role is Xu Damao in “The Story of Siheyuan”.

What’s more interesting is that Xu Damao played by Hai Yitian and Sha Zhu played by He Bing have been sworn enemies for decades in the drama “Love in the Courtyard”.

So when Wei Yang learned that Hai Yitian was in the crew of "Criminal Police Storm", his biggest regret was that the female lead was not Hao Lei, otherwise "Love in the Courtyard" would be complete.

“…”

After a few pleasantries, Wei Yang decisively chose to make an ally. Hai Yitian was not very famous, but he was a native of Beijing after all. He had dealt with He Bing, who was also from Beijing, so they were considered acquaintances.

Together with the outgoing Wei Yang, the two students from Shanghai Theatre Academy joined forces to denounce He Bing, who was no match for them.

"Okay, I admit defeat today. There's a good hot pot restaurant two blocks away. I'll treat you to an apology."

Wei Yang and Hai Yitian looked at each other and said, "I'm so sorry. It's settled."

The so-called apology was just a joke. The main purpose was to have a good chat and find an excuse to get together for a meal and a drink.

When men make friends, having a drink together is often the fastest way to get closer.

He Bing and Hai Yitian, both from Beijing, were good at talking, and together with Wei Yang, who was an expert in drinking, they had a very lively meal.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, He Bing and Hai Yitian walked back to the hotel arm in arm, drunk, with Wei Yang following behind, helping to carry their bags.

Suddenly I feel like I am a big shot...

A dark basement Looking at the body lying on the ground, Wei Yang stepped on the other's chest and smashed the bottom of the camera in front of him with a hammer with an expressionless face.

The blood bag in the hand of the prop squatting next to him moved, and a stream of blood spurted onto Wei Yang's face.

"Okay, passed."

Li Lu shouted, Wei Yang wiped the blood off his face, said sorry to the opponent actor, turned around and came to the monitor to complain.

"Director, it's not just knocking teeth, it shouldn't splatter so much blood."

"For dramatic effect."

Li Lu consoled him, "Besides, you may not be able to use this shot. At most, you can only capture the moment when the hammer hits you."

The TV series is aimed at people of all ages, including many children, so sometimes we have to take the scale into consideration and not make it too bloody.

After explaining, Li Lu hugged Wei Yang and signaled the staff on the scene to applaud.

"Congratulations to Wei Yang for finishing the film."

Wei Yang clasped his hands together and bowed to everyone around him: "Thank you for your care."

His role in "Detective Story" was so limited that filming was completed in less than a week, which also foreshadowed that it was time for him to leave.

As for the script, Wei Yang doesn't have to worry about it. If there are any minor changes, Li Lu and these veteran actors can do it themselves. If that doesn't work, they can contact Wei Yang for remote participation.

This is how the screenwriting business works. The degree of your say and involvement in the production depends mainly on the attitude of the film company.

Some crews attach importance to the screenwriter's suggestions and even ask the screenwriter to follow the crew and participate in the filming and production. If there are changes, they will be modified as they go along.

For some crews, after buying the script, the script has nothing to do with the screenwriter and they can shoot the film however they want.

In the circle, it is not uncommon for screenwriters to see their works changed beyond recognition after being broadcast, and to become so angry that they publicly complain and criticize, and even file lawsuits against the crew.

Wei Yang had been cheated in his previous life, but things were not so bad in this life.

He is the main actor in the two dramas "The Best of Us" and "Twinkle Twinkle Star" and is highly involved in the filming and creation. The plot is basically consistent with his ideas, and his shadow is also reflected in many other aspects.

Although Wei Yang didn't follow the crew of "Oranges in Huainan" much, the crew members were all old acquaintances he had dealt with before.

He knew the progress process and was involved in some preparatory work and related decision-making, which was not much different from the previous two dramas.

And this "Criminal Police Storm" is the work in which Wei Yang intervened the least.

However, Li Lu is a person who respects screenwriters very much, and the structure of this script is mature. At least in terms of the plot, there are almost no major changes. If there are any changes that need to be made, he is willing to communicate with Wei Yang.

But other aspects have nothing to do with Wei Yang, and the film producers and director don't care about his thoughts.

Wei Yang had long been accustomed to this.

This is the norm in the domestic film and television industry. Screenwriters rely entirely on luck, and even most directors are not much better. So if you want to truly control a project, you still need capital.

Once you hold the purse, you are the one whose words have the most impact!

Thinking about the message Xia Cong gave him some time ago, Wei Yang felt that it was time for him to try out the feeling of being a chess player.

Without staying in the crew, Wei Yang said goodbye to He Bing and Hai Yitian, with whom he had become familiar, and left the crew of "Criminal Police Storm" with his suitcase.

However, he did not rush to leave Beijing and return to Shanghai. Instead, he took advantage of Xiao Zhao's leave and went to Xiao Zhao's Chaoyang Apartment to live with her for a few days.

He had a lot of things to do when he returned to Shanghai this time. It was hard to say when he would meet Xiao Zhao again. The two of them could spend as much time together as possible...
