my time as a director

One of the main elements that a male lead in a romance film usually needs to have is that an ugly man is paired with a beautiful woman, after all, it is a minority.

Li Qian smiled and said, "You have also read the script, this time I came to you for the male lead of the movie."

Although the moment they got the script, they all knew that they must audition for the male lead. After all, they had complete scripts in their hands, and ordinary roles would not be given complete scripts.

However, guessing or not is one thing, when Li Qian said it, his heart became more and more excited.

No matter what the celebrity is, Li Qian's movie is still such a wonderful script, no matter Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, the three Mesozoic actors who have been famous for more than ten years, or Hu Ge's equally famous young man, or Huang Xuan Such a young man who has not yet become famous, none of them does not want to act.

"Let me briefly talk about the male protagonist." Li Qian opened the script and said, "In the movie, the male protagonist and the heroine are at the beginning, one is an old man and the other is a little girl. leading actor.

This liking stems from the acquaintance with him when he was a child. Afterwards, the hero sent him letters wherever he went, allowing him to appreciate the scenery of the outside world from the letters, which is also a sense of mystery and curiosity.

In addition, the male lead is handsome enough. The first time a young girl sees a man, she always looks at his face.

You can all be regarded as handsome guys, even Brother Chao, you can barely be considered handsome, plus you have experienced so many things, your own temperament also meets the requirements of the role, and can make a girl who has been staying in the song and dance troupe feel good After all, the men I met all day, except those in the regiment, are also the second generation, and their temperament is different. "

"Am I not handsome enough?" Deng Chao said very unfairly.

Li Qian smiled and said, "Brother Chao, you just barely played a side-ball with Shuai."

These words made everyone want to laugh.

If it wasn't for the audition, Deng Chao would stand up and argue with Li Qian.

Li Qian continued, "You have also read the script. The hero's outlook on life and values ​​is negative, which stems from his uniqueness, a helpless reality, and he can only passively accept this painful reality. Use the best way in life to protect the love and loved ones of your life.

Similarly, the characters in the film have a positive attitude towards pain. When the hero knew that his biological father who had abandoned him was dying, his mood was complicated and painful. At this time, he chose to accompany his father to watch the sunrise and let go of his resentment in nature. , Guilt, in order to let his daughter grow up healthily, he chose to leave alone to bear the pain.

The outlook on life and values ​​are further extended to the character of the characters, passively accepting pain, and actively facing pain, so that the characters are melancholy and sunny, emotional and rational, drifting with the flow and daring to pursue themselves.”

The purpose of the audition is to select the most suitable actors, so Li Qian patiently told them about the character and characteristics of the characters.

Let them digest it, and after a while, the real audition begins.

"The difficulty of acting this role lies in the eyes and expressions of all age groups. The actor has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and he can still have the pure eyes of a teenager. He is a melancholy niche and a handsome sunny guy."

Li Qian looked at the few of them, "Then let's start with Brother Ye, according to age, give young people some time."

The corner of Liu Ye's mouth twitched, he was obviously two years younger than Chen Kun, which made it sound like he was the oldest.

But it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, Liu Ye followed the requirements Li Qian said, making slightly different eyes and matching micro-expressions.

There is no need to audition for this audition, because apart from real people, most of the characters presented on the big screen are selected from countless character models with reorganized muscle expressions.

Only one-third of them were estimated to be shots of real people performing in the scene. As long as the appearance was suitable, they would be fine. Even Huang Xuan, who was not well-known, was a good seed.

However, looking at Liu Ye's expressions and eyes, Li Qian shook his head, "Brother Ye, you have changed too much in the past two years, and within two years, you will directly become a middle-aged greasy man .”

Liu Ye is almost the same every year. There is no aura in his eyes now, they are completely polished. The original biggest characteristic, the innocence in his eyes, is gone at all.

In the two years since he transformed from a gloomy niche to a tough guy, there have been signs of this. Not only his appearance, but his eyes also have a great influence. Even if he looks the same, he is no longer alone.

Liu Ye was not surprised either. He felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "Life, acting is not the whole of life. I can't find the feeling of acting in the past, and I'm too old man, I can't be simple anymore."

Li Qian shook his head, Liu Ye was definitely the best talent in the Mesozoic Era, not one of them.

To put it bluntly, he and Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Lu Yi are all in their early twenties, standing in front of the teachers of the acting department of the Film Academy and Chinese Opera, and let the teachers choose, and they can only choose one, There is almost no need to think about it, no matter how many teachers there are, only Liu Ye will be chosen.

It belongs to the kind that can compare with anyone at that stop.

In the Chinese opera interview that year, Liu Ye originally wanted to perform playing basketball, but he couldn't do it indoors. Later, he seemed to recite a poem, and he couldn't speak Mandarin well, so he failed in a talent show at all.

Because of the appearance and those eyes, no matter how bad the interview is, the teacher is rushing to ask for it.

Now it's over, I've become a family husband.

Although he couldn't get the role if he was out of the show, Liu Ye wasn't sad at all. Now he was focusing most of his energy on his family, and it didn't matter if he couldn't get it. He just watched other people audition happily from the sidelines.

Then there was Chen Kun. It had to be said that, as a gloomy young man with the same reputation as Liu Ye, Chen Kun was in good condition. He was almost forty, and his eyes were still so pure.

Moreover, not only can you be melancholy, but also sunny.

Then Deng Chao himself was not handsome enough, and his eyes were not pure anymore, after all, he had gone through too many things.

The same is true for Hu Ge, although he is young, but his eyes have the same problem as Deng Chao's. He can act out storytelling eyes, but he can't be innocent.

As for Huang Xuan, Li Qian specially found him after watching movies like "Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Youth".

However, I was a little disappointed. Although there seemed to be something in the eyes at first glance, they were actually much worse than the eyes of Liu Ye and Chen Kun back then. Clean feeling.

There is no other choice, and other actors in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations will not be better than them. Li Qian still chose Chen Kun who is almost 40 years old and still has a pair of pure eyes.

Enough experience, melancholy after thinking about life, and clean eyes.

It can be rough, it can be handsome, and it can also be cool.

Chapter 445 Reappearing History

"I didn't expect there to be such a special effect."

In Beijing Branch of Digital Realm, the other three actors who played the leading role in "Rejuvenation", Mr. You Bencang, Mr. Chen Daoming, Zhang Hanyu, and Chen Kun himself all gathered in front of the computer, watching the special effects director Rob demonstrate the six months before their design A good actor is five, six, and 70 years old. The appearance models of the characters in these three age groups, as well as the countless materials of facial muscle changes collected based on their three previous film and television works, are amazing.

Rob laughed and said, "The main special effects are the combination of CG head portraits and real bodies. This work is very troublesome. Our team has collected more than 200 expressions from everyone, and it is estimated that at least a thousand will be needed in the future.

Put this information into different 3D models and create tens of thousands of character models. In this way, with the help of 3D stereo technology and real-time images, you can connect the performances of each of you together, so that the audience can't see the actual change. actor. "

Hearing what Rob said, the four actors were even more amazed, and Chen Daoming couldn't help but said, "That is to say, we need to continuously reorganize the expressions of each of us into a personal character model, and there will be tens of thousands of such character models." ?”

"Yes."

Li Qian answered this question for Rob, nodded and said, "This is different from most movies that span a long period of time. From 20s to 80s and [-]s, the appearance is basically different from one person. No one grows from young to [-] years old. Old age, they all look the same, that's too fake."

Teacher You Bencang said with a smile, "Yes, I still have the same face after decades, although it may look like a person, but it does not conform to reality. If I put the photos of my youth together with the present, I will see If you don’t come out, you’re alone.”

Chen Daoming said with a smile, "But there is one thing the same."

"Oh, it's the same."

"You are still so energetic."

"Hahahaha, I am old-hearted."

Teacher You Bencang looks just like the Jigong he played, with a smile on his face all the time, always smiling.

"So, a certain expression of mine will appear on Chen Kun's face?"

"To be precise, it's on the character's face. After the age of 50, it's not Chen Kun's face, but a CG-made face, plus the expressions of the two teachers, Brother Hanyu and Chen Kun. , the eyes are mainly Chen Kun's."
