Chapter 247 Changing the Character to Yourself, Do You Call This Secondary Creation?
The casting director said: "Hello, Teacher Qin, please perform the first clip first. Teacher Nie Jun will act with you."
With that said, the casting director nodded to the actress sitting by the window, "Teacher Nie, please excuse me."
Nie Jun, who was in his fifties, smiled slightly, put his fingers together, pointed to the chair in front of him and said to Qin Tao: "Teacher Qin, sit down."
She herself leaned sideways, leaning on the table next to her, and assumed the role of the Queen Mother.
Seeing Qin Tao sit down, the casting director said, "Let's begin."
…
Prince Guo (Qin Tao) looked respectful, picked up the bowl, blew on it, and gave the Queen Mother (Nie Jun) some medicine.
"Your Majesty's complexion is not good, you must have a good rest."
…
As soon as these words came out, the directors nearby frowned.
Does the sentence "You must not work too hard" make you feel uncomfortable?
This sentence was to lead Concubine Hua to manage the Sixth Palace. If he missed a sentence, the Queen Mother would have to make up for it.
Fortunately, Teacher Nie Jun is indeed an experienced actor, and he picked up the lyrics immediately.
The Queen Mother sighed as if she was mocking herself, "The Ai family can only rest, so how can we work hard and mentally? Now that the Emperor and Queen have left, the affairs of the Sixth Palace have to be entrusted to Concubine Hua."
Prince Guo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine Hua Guifei will handle matters with ease."
The Queen Mother said with a hint of sadness: "Concubine Hua has the same temperament as her brother. She can do great things as well as bad things."
Prince Guo smiled and said nothing more.
At this moment, a staff member wearing a eunuch's hat ran over, half-kneeling and said: "To inform the Queen Mother, Lord Longkoda has sent a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng from the residence to wish the Queen Mother a good health."
The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, "Let it go."
Then he looked at King Guo, his eyes full of sorrow, and asked in a soft tone: "Have you heard about Concubine Hua and her brother's affairs in the court?"
Prince Guo shook his head and said, "Empress Huang, please take good care of your body."
The casting director said, "Okay, OK."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly understood why Fang Rong took Suixin Jiuxin Pills yesterday.
If he does this all day long, he has to take Suxiao Jiuxin Pills.
Is this a related household? How did you get the award?
Did he eat the lines? Not a word is right.
Chen Xiao didn't bother to fake a smile, opened the script in front of him and asked directly: "Where is the lyrics?"
Qin Tao was silent for a moment, "Actors should understand the role and create it a second time, so I modified it."
"What's the motivation for the revision?" Chen Xiao closed the script and asked.
"After I understood this character, I reacted based on his heart, and I felt that it was smoother to say it that way."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Smooth, does King Guo speak more smoothly like this? The actor can change the lines, but the premise is that the actions of the lines are modified to be more in line with the character and more interesting. What about you? Did you change King Guo to you? ”
"Director Chen, you have misunderstood. I just think there is no need to add so many redundant words."
"Redundant? What's the original line for the last sentence?"
Qin Tao moved his mouth, but couldn't think of it at all.
Because I didn’t memorize it at all just now...
I remember it was quite a long time.
The casting director was a little embarrassed when he saw the situation, so he opened the script and said, "Teacher Qin, let me tell you."
"The original words are: No wonder the emperor's mother is not in good health. It turns out that she refuses to listen to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor has already told you not to let you worry."
"How good of you are you, you even take care of the outside affairs."
"With your instructions, I have to go outside to ask about these things. That's it for this time. If it happens like this next time, I won't dare to enter the palace again."
Chen Xiao nodded and looked at Qin Tao.
One of the original lines expresses concern for the Queen Mother.
The second one shows that he is just a lazy prince who subjectively does not like to get involved in government affairs.
And how did he change it?
"Teacher Qin, you shook your head and said, Queen Mother, please take care of your body. As a producer, I think our understanding of the characters is too different, so there is no need to cooperate this time."
Chen Xiao directly removed his identity as a producer so that Fang Rong would not have to speak.
Generally speaking, when it comes to casting, the screenwriter has less say than the chief director.
But the producer who pays the money is the real boss.
When the producers speak, their directors should not interrupt.
Qin Tao's face turned a little blue.
But given Chen Xiao's status, let alone him, even his uncle had to greet him with a smile when he came over. Faced with Chen Xiao's criticism, he could only accept it.
Accept it or accept it, this drama is expected to be a big hit.
I still have to fight for the opportunity.
Qin Tao immediately lowered his posture and forced a smile, "Director Chen is right. I will revise it later and I will make sure to memorize the lyrics well."
Hearing this, Fang Rong quickly tugged Chen Xiao's sleeve secretly, shouting in his heart.
Don't agree! Don't agree!
As soon as you leave, his awesome relaxation comes back!
In fact, without Fang Rong's reminder, Chen Xiao had no intention of keeping him.
Is there a shortage of such an actor in the entertainment industry?
But if people show respect for the script by being submissive, Chen Xiao will not continue to be cold-faced.
He smiled politely and said, "Teacher Qin, to be honest, you are not suitable for the role of King Guo."
"Why?"
"Your appearance is too outstanding. Prince Guo is handsome, but you don't need to be too handsome."
"Then Dr. Wen."
Well, Doctor Wen, what role do you choose here?
"Teacher Qin has a brave temperament. Doctor Wen needs to be more cowardly, which is not suitable for you."
Hearing that Dr. Wen was a coward, the casting director almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Well, cowardice is my disguise. I love a pair of them.
Qin Tao frowned and thought carefully about what other characters he had just seen.
"Then... Wei Ting, or the imperial physician Wei or something like that, okay?"
"No, the emperor is already suspicious of Zhen Huan, Wei Lin can't be handsome. The eunuch is okay, he can be more handsome."
Qin Tao was dumbfounded for a while, feeling aggrieved but afraid to get angry.
Eunuch?
He is also a traffic star now.
Are fans going crazy when they watch him play a groveling eunuch?
It seems that Chen Xiao is determined not to let him act.
But he didn't say anything unpleasant, and there was no place for him to complain if he wanted to.
Go back and complain to fans?
They had a video, and they showed a pair, and Chen Xiao even praised him for being handsome...
I have no choice but to endure it.
Forget it, I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay!
But he could say it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
"Okay, let's work together next time. Thank you, Director Chen, for your guidance."
After saying that, Qin Tao forced out a smile and walked out quickly.
…
A famous actor walked in and out.
The sun slowly moved westward, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the casting room where only seven or eight staff members were left.
Chen Xiao yawned, returned the information in his hand to Fang Rong, and sighed: "You and Director Sun are working on these two dramas. Every time I come to the set, I feel like I am a military general, and I am just fighting with others."
Fang Rong smiled and said: "Thank you, brother. There will be no hard problems for the actors in the future, I can solve it."
With that said, Fang Rong stood up and stretched.
Chen Xiao also stood up and picked up his coat, "Come on, Director Fang, don't you think the money your sister-in-law gave you is not enough?"
Fang Rong's eyes lit up.
Are you prepared to give money?
Just when he was about to ask if he could give me cash, he saw Chen Xiao smiling and saying, "Come on, shoot, get busy, you won't have time to spend money!"
Fang Rong narrowed his eyes.
I really want to kill someone...
