Chapter 618 619 [Family of Gold Powder]

   Ning Hao immediately took the funds and began to prepare for "Crazy Stone".

  Xiang Nan recommended two actors to him, one is Huang Bo and the other is Guo Tao.

  Huang Bo is one of the rare people in the mainland who has a sense of joy. It makes people feel funny when they see it. This is actually a rare talent.

  Many artists also want to be funny, but no matter how much they toss, exaggerate, and abuse themselves, the audience just find it not funny, and even feel uncomfortable for him. This is the relationship without talent.

  Guo Tao had previously collaborated with Xiang Nan in "Angels Cause Trouble". At that time, among the four starring actors, he was the oldest, like a big brother.

   Don’t watch the show as a villain, but in fact, in private, he is both righteous and easy-going. Xiang Nan likes to ask him for advice. In Xiang Nan's view, Guo Tao is a late bloomer.

  Ning Hao knew that Xiang Nan would not deceive himself, so he agreed temporarily.

  …

   While Xiang Nan was revising the script, he received many film contracts.

  There are many good projects among them. For example, Zhang Jizhong hopes that Xiang Nan will cooperate with him in "Dragon Babu" and play the role of Duan Yu in it.

Zhang Jizhong has produced Jin Yong martial arts dramas such as "Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" successively in the past two years. People are willing to cooperate with him.

   Another example, "Pink Girl" adapted from Zhu Deyong's hit comic "Sweet Girl", also invited Xiang Nan to play the role of Romeo.

  Zhu Deyong started drawing comics in the 1980s, and entered the peak period of creation in the 1990s, and his comics also achieved amazing sales. In Taiwan alone, the sales volume of "Shiny Girl" exceeded one million, second only to Hayao Miyazaki in terms of popularity.

   "Pink Lady" is the first time his work has been adapted into a TV series, so it has attracted much attention.

   Another example is the thriller detective drama "Plum Blossom File" adapted from the manuscript "An Embroidered Shoe", and Xiang Nan was also invited to play the leading role of Long Fei.

  "An Embroidered Shoe" was all the rage in the 1970s, and I don't know how many readers were scared to tears. Now that it has been adapted, it is naturally attracting wide attention.

  …

  However, Xiang Nan's last choice was the Republic of China romantic drama "The Family of Gold Fans" adapted from Zhang Henshui's novel of the same name.

   First, the Republic of China has been hot in the past two years. "Like Rain Like Fog And Like Wind", "Orange Is Red", "April Day In The World", "Deep Love In The Rain" and many other popular romantic dramas in the Republic of China era drove this craze;

  Secondly, "The Family of Gold Fans" is called the Republic of China version of "Dream of Red Mansions". When it was launched in the 1930s, people rushed to circulate it, and Luoyang paper was expensive at one time, which shows that its storyline is still good.

   And Xiang Nan also knows that when this TV series was launched that year, it was well received by the audience. Not only the two leading actors, Chen Kun and Dong Yu, became popular, but also several supporting roles in the play, such as Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Chi Shuai, Xu Lu, etc., all became famous.

   Therefore, he is more inclined to shoot this TV series.

  …

  Xiang Nan then formally joined the crew of "The Family of Gold Fans", trying out looks, setting makeup photos, reading the script... everything went on in an orderly manner.

  Xiang Nan also met Dong Yu, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and other artists for the first time.

  Speaking of which, Dong Yu is also looking for a girl. In 2000, he filmed the warm comedy "Happy Time" with him.

  However, due to various reasons, not only the reputation of this movie is not as good as before, but the box office is only a few million. Therefore, although Dong Yu is also a girl, her starting point is far lower than that of Zhang Ziyi, and her subsequent development is even worse.

  Now, Zhang Ziyi is already a big star, starring in "Heroes", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Samurai", "Shushan Biography" and so on, which are well received and well-received, but Dong Yu is still hovering in the second and third tiers.

  Liu Yifei was admitted to Beijing Film Academy last year, so she can be regarded as Xiang Nan's junior. She is only sixteen years old this year, she looks really young, her face is pink, but she is a little baby fat.

  Shu Chang is actually the same age as Liu Yifei, a few months younger than her. But although she is young, she actually made her debut very early. In 1992, he had already started filming TV series, and in 1997 he released his first album. Speaking of which, they are all Xiang Nan's seniors. Fortunately, this is not South Korea, otherwise, Xiang Nan would have to bow and say hello first.

  …

  Xiang Nan entered the group in mid-March, and filming officially started in early April.

  Before the filming started, he had already read the script by heart, even found the original work and read it together. It can be said that he has made sufficient preparations. Have an accurate grasp of the role played.

   Therefore, after the shooting started, his performance was very good, and the shooting was basically a pass. The lines are accurate, the expressions are delicate, and the movements are in place... It is almost impossible to criticize.

  Actually, this is also the result of Xiang Nan's hard training for many years.

  Since he started filming, he has consulted many seniors and directors on acting skills. Almost all the masters who taught him were recognized acting schools in the Mainland.

  For example, Li Mingqi, Wang Jinsong, Ding Jiali, Chen Daoming, Zhang Yimou, Teng Rujun, Huo Jianqi, Yu Yan, Zhou Xun, etc., and because of this, Xiang Nan's acting skills are both solid and delicate.

   I dare not say that I am far superior to my peers, but at least I am an outstanding one.

  …

  Compared, whether it is Dong Yu or Liu Yifei, their performance is not as good.

  Dong Yu is slightly better.

   Once he was trained by Zhang Yimou, he still has a solid foundation. In addition, I have also filmed several films in the past two years, so I still have some foundation and experience.

  Secondly, the role she plays is a high-altitude flower, and she doesn't need to make too many expressions, so her acting skills are not so good, but it can be justified.

   Liu Yifei is much worse.

  This is the first film she has filmed, and she plays the lead actress. Not only does it have a heavy role and many lines, but it also plays a willful and infatuated young lady. The character design is much more complicated than that of Kaolin Flower, so it is actually very difficult to act.

   It was her first filming, and she played such a complicated role, so naturally she couldn't handle it.

  So when shooting, I made mistakes repeatedly. Either the words were stuck and the words were forgotten, or the facial expressions were wrong, or the movements were not in place... often caused the filming to stop, and made the director's face more and more gloomy.

  …

  Xiang Nan felt sorry for this girl.

  The reason why she is so difficult is because the people behind her want to make her famous too strongly.

   Liu Yifei is a newcomer, he has never learned acting, and his foundation is basically zero, so he is directly promoted as the second female number, which is too eager for quick success.

  In fact, the safest way is to go to school first, and then start from a supporting role after you have a certain foundation. With fame and experience, challenge the protagonist.

  A large number of artists like Xiang Nan, Zhao Wei, Deng Zhen, Hao Lei and so on came here in this way.

   Of course, it is not ruled out that talented artists like Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Xia Yu, and Zhou Xun are full of acting talent as soon as they debut. But that is only a minority after all, and apart from good looks, Liu Yifei is indeed not very talented in acting.

   It's really too dangerous to suppress seedlings like this to encourage them to grow.

  Therefore, Xiang Nan will occasionally point out her acting skills, which not only saves her from the cold eyes of the director, but also makes the shooting process smoother, avoiding constant yelling and wasting time.

   After coming and going, after getting to know him well, Liu Yifei also had a very good impression of him.
