I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Chapter 148: Disadvantage in the first move of chess; interpretation of script characters (first upd

After joining the group, Su Mu first got to know the actors and staff briefly.

Zhang Huaimou's crew has a core team.

The remaining positions will be deployed and replaced according to the different content of each shooting.

So many people are already familiar with Sumu.

For example, the guys on the camera team, who he knew had done very well before, and the girls on the makeup team and the logistics and so on.

Su Mu is no longer a novice. After joining the crew, he has figured out many things.

Although people in these positions are inconspicuous, if they really use some tricks to punish you, there is nothing you can do about it.

For example, some small lenses may not be enough for you, and the angle may be slightly off, and your face will look ugly.

Or maybe the teachers in the makeup team need to be good, otherwise your face may look different every day when you put on makeup for filming.

The base color and the light powder in different positions, if any one part is missing, the entire face shape will be deviated.

Sometimes it is not visible to the naked eye, but when it appears under the camera, it is clear.

So Su Mu still tried his best to get along with them.

When he was first filming Kuang Biao, every time he killed a fish, he would give it to them as a midnight snack.

Of course, in addition to the crew, there are other actors.

Charlotte frets about the show.

Except for the male protagonist Charlotte played by Su Mu.

There are also several important characters.

Ma Dongmei, Qiu Ya, Yuan Hua, Dachun, Zhang Yang (buck teeth), Monte (girly), Teacher Wang, Charlotte's mother.

These eight occupy important roles.

It can be said that it was the support of these eight characters that finally allowed the comedy element of the show "Trouble with Charlotte" to reach its later fullness.

Otherwise, the male protagonist alone cannot actually constitute a complete system.

The strength of this drama is that, except for the male protagonist, the other characters are also quite interesting.

Therefore, when selecting the characters, Zhang Huaimou had a detailed discussion with Su Mu about the characteristics of the characters in the script.

Su Mu also told Zhang Huaimou based on the templates of actors in previous lives.

After listening to his explanation, Zhang Huaimou selected the current cast.

Perhaps compared to previous dramas, this lineup is not as well-known.

They are all veteran actors who are approaching retirement, or young actors who often play supporting roles.

Originally, many people thought that there were better comedy stars to choose from.

But in the end, Su Mu and Zhang Huaimou did not do that.

For comedy roles, choosing the right one is the most important.

…

The start-up is scheduled for two days.

The process for all members to join the team still requires reviewing the script in advance.

It is necessary to clarify the order of the story line and the positioning of each character.

There are also some problems in the script that need to be resolved in advance before filming starts.

Many times, even the screenwriter or even the director may not be able to modify the script perfectly in all aspects.

Some details often appear during the shooting process.

Or when sorting out the entire book, it was discovered by different people from different angles.

Therefore, if you want to keep improving, you must constantly polish and listen to opinions before shooting.

now,

All the actors sat around the large conference room.

Zhang Huaimou and Su Mu have not arrived yet.

People around were whispering to each other.

"I heard that this script was written by Su Mu?"

"He wrote it, I heard from a buddy on the crew, and Su Mu is going to be the assistant director."

"This is not surprising, after all, he wrote the script, but do you think this Su Mu is serious? Want to use our lineup to PK Lin Haoming's Love Elegy?"

"I'm also a little surprised. I watched Love Elegy. Apart from Lin Haoming, the heroine is Lin Yuner, the mainstay of Shangfeng Entertainment. The supporting characters are also handsome boys and beautiful girls. They are all popular celebrities. That's why it has a box office of 500 million."

"Actually, it's not that we are that bad. It's just that the competition at the New Year's box office is really not that simple. Although comedies have hits, they are not stable."

At this moment, everyone around was discussing in low voices.

The matter between Su Mu and Lin Haoming is no longer news.

So from an outsider’s perspective.

Sumu's operation really doesn't have much advantage.

Although in the past six months, his popularity has remained high.

The funny content of several live broadcasts has been widely circulated by netizens, who all think that Su Mu may really have a talent for comedy.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is trying to find ways to make up for this drama.

But originally Sumu didn't have to do this.

If you choose other themes, you can spend more energy on other preparations, and it may even look safer.

However, it was as if Su Mu had deliberately set a difficult start for himself.

Not to mention the comedy theme chosen,

I didn’t even put much investment into the cast members.

Of course, no one knows the exact details of how much the show cost to produce.

If they knew that this drama was actually invested by big bosses from all over the world, and that Su Mu alone received a salary of 70 million yuan, they might vomit blood on the spot.

They really have reason to suspect that Su Mu may not be competing with Lin Haoming, but simply taking advantage of this opportunity to make money.

However, the specific remuneration and sharing are kept confidential.

Many people only know that Su Mu's salary is not low, but the specific amount has not been announced.

So the current situation.

In the eyes of many insiders.

Su Mu's choice was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the first move of the game against Lin Haoming.

Some of the actors present had a hard time imagining how the next drama would be filmed in order to exceed the box office of 500 million and win over Lin Haoming.

opposite,

At this time Zhuang Yan and Wang Ouyi also arrived.

These two film school professors were among the first to know Su Mu.

The two listened to the exchanges around them.

I'm also a little bit doubtful inside.

Zhuang Yan looked around, and then whispered: "Old Wang, why did Su Mu choose a comedy? I read the script and it was pretty good, but I couldn't imagine how these characters would behave. It’s the form that stands out.

In comedy, it would be very difficult if the character's label cannot be deeply ingrained in the audience's mind. "

Wang Ouyi was noncommittal: "The creativity of the script is good. The male protagonist returns to his youth to make up for his regrets. I can still understand most of the rhythm and baggage, and some of them are quite good, but it just feels bad." Something… but nothing to say.”

Zhuang Yan: “Maybe we can’t see it until we’re filming.”

Wang Ouyi: "I'm not sure. It depends on how Su Mu was conceived. If we want to flesh out all the characters, the script alone is not enough."

The two exchanged words in a low voice.

But the actors nearby could also hear it.

I still agree with it in my heart.

Everyone present has naturally read the script, and many of them are regarded as classics, but there are some parts that they really couldn't understand right away.

In fact, this is true whether it is comedy or other themes.

There are differences and differences between the script and the actual shooting.

Create a character, a scene, a conversation, and the words may just be a brief description.

But when shooting, there are many techniques and paths.

Different performance forms have different levels of comedy.

Then there are other methods.

For example, the character Yuan Hua.

In addition to describing the line baggage he needs for each scene, the script only describes the character's personality and the psychology behind the scene.

You might find it funny after watching it.

But not that profound.

What the final filming showed was that every time Yuan Hua appeared on the stage and added that BGM, it was unforgettable and even addictive.

This is something beyond the script.

How to structure it is the real core.

This is what everyone is looking forward to seeing.

The reason why most people present have doubts in their hearts is because based on their logic, they can't imagine how to structure it to make the whole drama soar.

Just thinking about it.

Su Mu and Zhang Huaimou pushed the door open and came in.

"Hello, Director Zhang."

Then everyone stood up and said hello.

Zhang Huaimou responded to everyone with a smile.

After taking Su Mu to say hello to King Zhuangyan Ouyi, he went straight to the topic.

"In this way, we will go through the script first, and then if there are any questions, we can bring them up and we will analyze and discuss them in detail.

Everyone should know that Su Mu is the screenwriter of the script, and he will host and explain it in a targeted manner later on. "

After Zhang Huaimou finished speaking, everyone around him was not surprised.

In fact, many people are waiting to see how Su Mu explains it.

Because there are indeed many things that I don’t understand.

Su Mu stood up: "Everyone, let me tell you a few words about the script this time. Content is the content..."

[Speech proficiency +1]

[Skill point +0.01]

"..."

Zhang Huaimou: "Ahem...that's okay! Let's get started."

Following Zhang Huaimou's smooth sailing.

Everyone started reading the script.

The first pass is the general story line.

I went through it quickly in just over an hour.

The second time is to add the lines of each character and each scene.

Among them, it was the actors who took the initiative to put forward their opinions.

A lot of problems usually arise at this time.

There may even be a chance that the script will be revised after discussion.

And the first one to ask the question was an actress.

Dress modestly in sportswear.

However, the overall body proportions are quite good.

You can feel the steep slope inside through your sportswear!

Zhang Huaimou's grasp of the size is quite accurate, and it turns out that this is the actor who plays Qiu Ya.

"Teacher Su Mu, my name is Lu Juan, and I play the role of Qiu Ya. I want to know the role of Qiu Ya...who should her feelings belong to? I think the whole thing is quite confusing."

Su Mu: "She was originally chaotic."

Lu Juan: "...?"

Su Mu: "Qiu Ya's chaotic relationship with several supporting characters in the end is itself the biggest burden, so there is no need for clear emotions."

"Teacher Su Mu, in the story line, the male protagonist Charlotte made money through his songs, which later became popular. However, I think these songs of yours are all original. If you put them in like this, the audience may not understand them properly. .”

Su Mu: "Well, I have studied this issue with Director Zhang, and I will only keep 'just once'. As for other tracks, I will choose a few popular music from that era to replace them."

"I am Feng Kaili, the actor who plays Ma Dongmei. I have no problem with the lines, but I am a bit unable to grasp the characteristics of this character."

Su Mu: "Can you laugh like ha~ha~ha~ha continuously?"

Feng Kaili: "Yes..."

Su Mu: "That's fine. Ma Dongmei needs to have a tough feeling, but when she was a student, she had to pretend to be shy despite being tough. If she can control it, she can make people laugh.

In the whole play, it is you who really makes the audience realize the profound meaning of reality, because in the end you are the only one who is awake. In this regard, we must pay attention to the contrast between before and after. "

Kelly Feng: "I understand."

"My name is Song Chuan. I play the role of Yuan Hua. I don't think there is any baggage in a few lines. Many scenes don't feel that funny."

Su Mu smiled: "Because there is no BGM, the role of Yuan Hua will be a classic. Song Chuan, right? Take advantage of it. I will tell you how to play it when the time comes."

Song Chuan: "Okay..."

"My name is Fang Zhigang, and I play the role of Zhang Yang. In that scene, he and Charlotte's mother fell in love, and then he said: From now on, we have our own affairs. I call you Jiao Ge, and you call me Brother. dad……"

"Pfft~hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone around laughed.

This sentence doesn’t even need to mention the story scene, it’s very interesting just by mentioning it.

Su Mu: "This sentence is indeed the highlight of this character, but your image still needs to be changed. Zhang Yang has buck teeth."

"I am Chu Ming, I play Dachun."

"I am Ge Zhou, and I play Monte. This character later changed his gender? I think his subsequent relationship was a bit messy..."

Su Mu smiled: "The character of Monte is a sissy, but it is also an interesting undercurrent in the story, a clue character left for the audience to think about.

But there are many details, and you need to pay attention to a few points.

In the end, the male protagonist was diagnosed with HIV in the hospital, and then Qiu Ya and Yuan Hua's expressions changed drastically. It seemed like it was just a misfortune between the three of them, but have you ever thought about it? Where does this disease come from? "

"!!!"

"???"

Everyone looked confused.

Su Mu: "It's Monte's side. Monte was a boy before, but later in the story he became a girl at the class reunion, but there was a period in the middle where he and Yuan Hua were alone...so he gave it to Yuan Hua, and Yuan Hua It was given to Qiu Ya, and Qiu Ya was given to the male protagonist. The order of infection is exactly the opposite."

"!!!"

The whole audience was shocked.

Nima, is there such a thing?

Zhang Huaimou frowned after hearing this.

To be honest, he had read the script more than a dozen times, but even he didn't expect this hidden layer.

Sure enough, you still know how to play.

…

Su Mu answered everyone one by one.

Some have questions about the characters.

Some put forward their opinions on small details and bugs in the script.

But Sumu can give quick answers.

Even the analysis of the characters and how to enlarge the highlights are given one by one.
