Chapter 24 You come and act!
"As for Yang Guifei, she doesn't have many roles, so let Fan Binbin do it!" In fact, Fan Binbin has played Yang Yuhuan once before, in the 2007 TV series "Furong Garden of the Tang Dynasty", where she played Yang Guifei for the second time. I believe this
Gimmicks can also bring some topicality to TV series.
The Yang Guifei in the original work was just a bit of a show-off. The scene could be shot in a few days, so it was just right for Fan Binbin to play it. The version of Yang Yuhuan played by Xu Lu was really unconvincing, with a shriveled figure and Xiaojiabiyu's facial features.
, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had also seen it. How could he brave the disdain of the world and openly remove her ashes for such a beautiful woman?
"Haha! She is quite suitable for this kind of role." Hearing that Yang Guifei's person chose Fan Binbin, Jiang Shuying didn't like this goblin, but he must admit that these sisters' appearance and temperament are indeed very suitable for playing such a role that brings disaster to the country and the people.
Level beauty.
"Tan Qi is the heroine. I'll first ask Shishi if he's interested. If Wen Ran is interested, he'll contact Mao Xiaotong, who played Ying Guiren in The Legend of Zhen Huan. Wang Yunxiu will contact Tang Yixin. As for the female killer Yu Chang, I'll think about it first.
." The character Wen Ran is tragic and strong, Mao Xiaotong's temperament is quite suitable, and the character Wang Yunxiu has a bit of a bitch, so just look for Tang Yixin. After all, she is also Dayunzi's girlfriend, so she should take care of her!
The role of the female killer Yu Chang in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is very good. Li Yuan, who played the role in the previous life, also played the role very well. It is very rare for a girl to be so beautiful with a crew cut especially.
"Help me find a female artist named Li Yuan. She has been in the industry for a few years and is not well-known. Let her play the role of fish intestines. By the way, ask her if she is interested in joining our company."
Jiang Shuying has always found it strange that when Gu Zhongyu was deciding on a role, he would always suddenly think of a certain street actor, and then name someone to play a certain role, and it was later proven that he could always choose the right person, and he didn't know who it was.
Even if you are lucky enough, you have already planned it.
"By the way, I have already drawn the design drawings for the characters in the play, but I forgot to show them to you." Jiang Shuying suddenly remembered and took out a bunch of drawings from behind his butt and gave them to Gu Zhongyu.
The previous version of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" was widely praised by history buffs and Hanfu circles because the show's costumes restored the Tang Dynasty to a very high degree, and the lines and lines were also rigorously titled.
Even the armor worn by the Imperial Guards in the play was restored based on Dunhuang murals, and the armor was made of real iron armor, not the crappy studio-style plastic armor.
In fact, whether the costumes in film and television dramas should be 100% restored to history has always been a big problem in the filming of costume dramas. In the early years, the historical dramas in mainland China were all based on real history, and they were very careful and sincere. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
"Tang Minghuang" and other costume dramas, wherever possible, they are basically restored to perfection.
But after Hong Kong and Taiwan capital began to enter the mainland film and television drama market, the taste changed. All kinds of weird and shocking lines, Japanese pirate-style costumes and makeup, and ancient people with disheveled hair all became popular from this time.
Naturally, Gu Zhongyu will not imitate those old guys who make crude films. His attitude towards the drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is the same as that of his predecessors, and he wants to restore the style of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.
Of course, it is also compatible with modern people’s aesthetics.
After all, you have to take care of the audience's emotions. The makeup and costumes of many ancient ethnic groups do not conform to modern people's aesthetics. Just like today's common Qing palace dramas, the hairstyles of people in the early and middle Qing Dynasty in real history were all "money rat tail braids"
, extremely ugly! So in order to reduce everyone’s disgust, they all changed to the yin-yang hair style that only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty.
This is not a Qing palace drama specifically designed to beautify the Qing Dynasty. Hong Kong and Taiwan do not even shave their hair. In fact, any costume drama will definitely make some beautifying changes, and the same is true for TV dramas from other dynasties.
For example, women's foot binding, which became popular during the Song Dynasty, rarely appeared in costume dramas. The female characters were all jumping around, and none of them would bind their feet. Occasionally, women with bound feet would definitely not take off their shoes and socks.
Show it to the audience, because I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat!
Another example is the costume drama set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There is a highly sought-after facial makeup. The eyebrows are drawn short and thick or upward, and the smaller half of the face is painted with bright colors.
There are also decorative patterns on the small pouty lips and dimples. If an actress wore this makeup, not only would it not make her look more beautiful, it would even look funny and scary!
A similar look also appeared in the previous film "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". Regarding these details, Gu Zhongyu felt that it would be better for the audience to feel more comfortable!
There is another more common style, which is the common hairstyle of Han men. In costume dramas, everyone wears hair condoms, but if you really use your own hair to tie your hair in a bun, it actually doesn’t look that handsome, because
There are many people who don’t have enough hair or whose hairline is too high. When they tie their hair up, it looks like they have a bald patch on their forehead (refer to some Taoist priests you see in your daily life)! Moreover, the hair near the temples is also easy to fall apart.
When it comes out, it will look a little dirty.
Gu Zhongyu knows this very well. When he first debuted in "The Great Emperor of Han Dynasty", he played the role of the champion Hou Huo Qubing. Because he disliked the trouble of wearing a hair condom, he had to struggle for more than half an hour every time, so he simply kept it by himself before joining the group.
I have long hair, but because I have to clean my hair on the sideburns before going on stage every time, and because real hair is easy to get tangled and frizzy, the time it takes to deal with it actually becomes longer!
After that, when filming costume dramas, he no longer tried to be smart and just wore a hair condom.
Therefore, when filming this drama, Gu Zhongyu and other creative staff discussed repeatedly and finally decided that in terms of the appearance and style of the actors, they would not pursue a 100% restoration of history, as long as the overall style was in line with the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The previous drama "Ming Dynasty 1566" did not restore the way of service, and even had some studio style, but it did not prevent it from becoming the first monument of historical dramas.
"Yeah! There's nothing wrong with these costumes. Let's wait until the actors try on their makeup and then take a look!" Gu Zhongyu was relieved after reading the drawings. They basically matched the character shapes he had in mind. The fish intestines and dragons in the original drama of the previous life
Bo's style is too modern, so this time it was changed to a normal Tang Dynasty style.
"There is also Zhang Xiaojing's old lover Li Xiangxiang. I haven't decided who will play it!" After looking at it, he found that this role didn't have much role, so Gu Zhongyu glanced at the secretary next to him.
"How about letting you play the role of Li Xiangxiang?" The company's female artists have almost been arranged, but he doesn't want to use the supporting role, and it's not cost-effective to hire an external artist, so he thought of letting Jiang Shuying come. Anyway, he has some acting experience.
There aren't many roles, so she should still be able to do it.
You don’t even need to pay for the film, and you can save a fortune, hehe!
"Shall I act?"
"That's right! Isn't it your dream to be an actor?"
Jiang Shuying didn't expect that this bitch man would suddenly ask her to act. Although her goal at the beginning was indeed to be a big star. But after staying at Zongheng Entertainment for more than a year, although she was still a secretary, she had great power.
Not a small thing. Not only can she get involved in all the company's business, she can also handle problems directly on Gu Zhongyu's behalf.
Many people regard Jiang Shuying as Gu Zhongyu's shadow in the company. Both department managers and celebrities respect her very much and dare not offend her in the slightest.
Jiang Shuying's vanity was greatly satisfied when he saw how the glamorous big stars on the screen were respectful to him. Therefore, his thoughts on becoming an actor have faded away a lot, and he felt that it would be good to be like this now.
"Okay! I'll reluctantly agree to it!" Jiang Shuying responded arrogantly, but actually she was already happy in her heart.
Unexpectedly, this bitch actually still remembers his original ideal of being an actor, and he is not considered a scumbag to the core!
Chapter completed!
