Chapter 76

Everyone ate together, and Lu Kuan was embarrassed to keep reading the script and storyboard by himself, so he chatted with Liu Xiaoli casually.

"Aunt Liu, 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' has basically decided that Xiao Liu will play Wang Yuyan. Has the 'Legend of Sword and Fairy' crew contacted you now?"

He just chatted with her according to Liu Yifei's development route in his past life.

Family of Gold, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Legend of Sword and Fairy, Return of the Condor Heroes, these four dramas raised Xiao Liu's blood cow physique.

"Ah? What Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Liu Yifei didn't know what the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew meant by the words Lu Kuan said. She had heard of this game.

Lu Kuan turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei and her mother who were stunned. Only then did he realize that they should not have been in contact with the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew at this time.

It is even two things whether the Legend of Sword and Fairy project has been established within Tangren now.

He patted his head, didn't even eat, took out his phone and walked out.

"Hello? President Lu?"

The person who answered the phone was Sun Wenwen, an assistant recruited by Zhuang Xu for him, and the only employee of Inquiry Realm Culture Media now.

Inquiry Realm Culture Media is a sole proprietorship limited liability company of Lu Kuan. Out of consideration for hitting the company's name, Boss Lu finally did not use the filming quota of the Qingying Factory.

Instead, he let this master of law from Renmin University who had graduated for two years finish the filing and filming permit.

"You immediately contact the Bay Province Dayu Company and ask about the film and television adaptation rights of Legend of Sword and Fairy. If possible, talk about cooperation as quickly as possible."

Lu Kuan carefully recalled the information from his past life. He only remembered that Tangren and Dayu had a long copyright conflict later.

But since Liu Yifei and her mother didn't even know there was this film and television project, it is very likely that the adaptation rights had not fallen into Tangren's hands.

Whether there are dates or not, hit two poles. Anyway, it's not a loss. If you can intercept "Legend of Sword and Fairy," you can incubate a big IP for Inquiry Realm Culture. Later, whether it is adapted into a big movie or other peripherals, there will be no shortage of buyers.

Sun Wenwen is a young man from a small town who came out of Sichuan Province and is very capable in doing things: "Okay, President Lu, received."

"Wait!"

Boss Lu calculated the funds in his hands and the expected extra income after the World Cup, and decided to hoard a few more dramas.

"There are two more things."

"Contact the PLA Literature and Art Publishing House and buy the copyright of the novel 'Drawing Sword' by writer Du Liang."

The fate of this novel is relatively tortuous. Du Liang was rejected by the publishing house six times, and even if it was published, it was heavily revised many times, which meant it was a bit unrecognizable.

In later years, it was a film and television company in Shanghai that bought the copyright for 188,000 yuan. Because of the subject matter and the difficulty of filming, it changed hands several times, and finally it was purchased by Liu Yanming of Hairun Film and Television for 1 million.

"Contact the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong of the Battle Drama Troupe of the Beiping Military Region again and buy the copyright of 'Soldier Assault' in his hands."

This is the predecessor of "Soldier Assault."

Sorry Huayi, although there is no intersection yet, although there is no grievance, let me, Boss Lu, steal two points of your luck first!

Sun Wenwen always felt painful because she couldn't keep up with the boss's rhythm, but she still cheered up and replied received.

The situation is not set, and she is still a cow and horse.

Sometimes this cow and horse who just walked into society wanted to resign because of Lu Kuan's dispatch, but the capitalist gave too much!

Lu Kuan gave her a salary of nearly 10,000 a month, which is not high in this era when the average monthly salary is 2,000.

Everything went smoothly for several days, until June 1st, Children's Day, when the crew encountered the biggest difficulty since filming.

This is a rival play between Feng Yuanzheng and Zhou Jielun, which is the first turning point after the film enters the plot point, and it is also the first time that drummer Xu Huan sees the perversion and terror of Zhuang Zhong.

In the film, drummer Xu Huan finally entered Zhuang Zhong's band. He still cooperated with the band's performance according to the previous rhythm and mentality, but Zhuang Zhong deliberately pushed him on the road of being crazy.

Zhuang Zhong deliberately said that his normal rhythm was dragged or rushed, and made him repeat it again and again.

Feng Yuanzheng often uttered evil words that rushed to the lower three roads, and words like di*k, fu*k, etc. were all over the sky in the original version, scolding Xu Huan so that his mother didn't recognize him.

Zhou Jielun was completely crushed in this rival play with Feng Yuanzheng, no matter from the action, expression, or physical reaction, it was too weak, making the film's plot produce a sense of fragmentation, and did not form an effective interaction between the characters.

"Cut!"

The crew members all looked solemn. Ning Hao also looked at Lu Kuan, who was frowning. This was already the 12th take of this scene. Zhou Jielun's performance still didn't get the point, and he didn't give the due feedback under Feng Yuanzheng's coercion.

In Lu Kuan's expectation, this conflict scene should be a relatively easy scene to shoot.

Because the character's psychological state of being obedient to the teacher Zhuang Zhong at this time is very consistent with Zhou Jielun, he once described that he also received strict music education since he was a child.

Take this scene as an example, Zhuang Zhong put his whole face to Xu Huan's ear, forcing him to repeat it again and again, and punished him with insults and slaps every time, deliberately messing up his mentality.

At this time, Zhou Jielun's or Xu Huan's performance feedback should be suspicion, hesitation, and unwillingness in timidity, rather than being like a wooden stake, letting Zhuang Zhong knead and flatten.

If it is just like Zhou Jielun, blindly obedient, then the plot of the protagonist being canceled as the chief because he forgot to bring drumsticks, and reporting Zhuang Zhong to schools and other organizations will be too abrupt, affecting the rhythm of the entire linear narrative.

And what was Andrew's performance in the original work?

From the beginning of being relaxed and at ease, to self-doubt, even if the teacher Fletcher hit him with slaps and insults to break his psychological defense line, he still repeated it again and again: I am uncomfortable! I am uncomfortable! I am uncomfortable!

This is the performance with contrast and progression. The repetition of a single emotional element is very unfavorable for the establishment of the character image.

"Sorry, Director, I can't grasp the emotions in this paragraph."

Zhou Jielun was a bit embarrassed.

Feng Yuanzheng patted him on the shoulder. Novice actors will have such and such problems. He has seen a lot, and smiled and went to drink water on the side.

Lu Kuan looked at his watch. Today, it has been ng more than 30 times...

"Everyone rest today, we will start early tomorrow."

Lu Kuan announced the end of work concisely.

Almost all the scenes behind this scene are rival plays between Zhuang Zhong and Xu Huan. Zhou Jielun is stuck, and the whole crew has to stop. We must solve his problem first.

Lu Kuan pulled Zhou Jielun to the flower bed outside the studio, and greeted the two male actors who were just about to finish the play.

"Huang Bo, Teacher Feng, go out and smoke a cigarette."

Lu Kuan is an old smoker. Feng Yuanzheng pays more attention to protecting his voice and quit smoking early. He was dragged into the water by Boss Lu when he came to the "Whiplash" crew.

"Teacher Feng, you are a senior actor in the People's Art. What do you think is the problem with Jielun's scene?"

Feng Yuanzheng smiled: "Is Director Lu giving us a question?"

Zhou Jielun listened with his ears pricked up, and he also urgently wanted to solve his problem.

Huang Bo thought: "Performance seven forces and four senses, Jielun is a little less feeling and creativity."

He looked at Lu Kuan, the young director with pure business, with inquiring eyes, wanting to get the answer from him.

Lu Kuan patted Zhou Jielun on the shoulder: "Actually, Jielun lacks some tension."

The tension of performance does not belong to the seven forces and four senses. This thing is relatively mysterious when talking about it. The audience usually doesn't notice its existence in actors with excellent acting skills.

But once this thing is missing, the character image can't stand up immediately.

Zhou Jielun said anxiously: "Director Lu, tell me what I should do!"

Lu Kuan smiled and looked at Feng Yuanzheng.

The latter crushed the cigarette butt under his feet: "The tension of performance is eight words."

"Just right, free to retract."

Just right, it is to be harmonious and not abrupt.

Tension is not only physical tension, let alone brainless roaring like Ma Jingtao.

As for the cases of being free to retract, there are many.

For example, Chen Daoming's speech segment in "My 1919," Zhang Manyu's laughing and then crying after seeing Mickey Mouse on the corpse in "Comrades: Almost a Love Story."

Zhou Jielun listened as if he didn't understand.
