Chapter 400 "Youth"

"There is a chance?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yifei has always been smart and understood it in an instant. She turned around and threw herself into Wu Yuan's arms without paying attention to her hair being blown. She raised her head and blinked her sparkling eyes.

"Brother, do you have a new movie?"

"Do you want me to act in it?"

"I can do it!"

Facing Liu Yifei's sparkling eyes, Wu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed her head away with a smile, "I just said that casually."

"Maybe in the future, but definitely not now."

Just now, Wu Yuan's mind suddenly flashed with many classic movies in which the heroines shaved their heads or had flat heads.

In fact, in the international film industry, it is a very classic plot for female characters to have their heads shaved.

Hair has never been just hair.

At least not only in the material sense, it has always been given many definitions by human society.

In movies, shaving women's heads is often a spiritual admonition and a punishment.

The logic of movies comes from the dark side of civilization in history.

Some people believe that cutting off the sexual characteristics of long hair can avoid some disasters.

It prevents sluts from seducing men and makes them reflect on their "corrupted" morals.

Therefore, this behavior was once a means of public humiliation and psychological suppression of others in some periods.

For example, in the classic movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the heroine Malena finally became a scapegoat for the masses to vent their resentment against the fascists.

She was once the most beautiful woman in the town and a thorn in the eyes of other women. Only by taking advantage of the opportunity of post-war venting can women tear her beauty apart in the name of justice.

They shaved her sexy curly hair and tore off the only clothes left on her body.

And the men who once surrounded her and lit cigarettes for her stood aside as spectators of a good show.

In domestic movies, this scene is also common.

In "Donkey Gets Water", the male humiliation of Zhang Yiman is also shaving her head, under the euphemism of justice.

After her hair was cut, Zhang Yiman could no longer say the feminist slogan "Sleep him", and ended up with a mad and miserable end.

There is no doubt that in these films, hair symbolizes the dignity of women.

And those who cut women's hair experience the pleasure of conquering others with personal power.

Of course, in addition to being forced to cut their hair, there are also movies where women cut their hair on their own initiative.

When a woman cuts her hair on her own initiative in a movie, cuts a flat head or a bald head, it is usually a metaphor that the woman wants to "prove herself" or "stop being bullied and become stronger."

For example, in "Navy SEALs", Navy Intelligence Officer O'Neill joins the special forces Navy SEALs as a woman. In order to gain recognition, she resolutely shaves her head.

For example, in "Better Days", after being bullied and having her hair cut messily, Chen Nian simply asked Xiaobei to help her cut her hair short and trim it, leaving a meaningful shot. In the following story, Chen Nian always had a buzz cut and never had long hair again.

Of course, Wu Yuan does not agree with this metaphor.

But it is undeniable that whenever there is a plot of shaving a woman's head, whether it is active or passive, this type of movie and this type of role are more difficult to play and test acting skills.

And once this type of movie is well made, it is likely to become a masterpiece.

"Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Better Days" have won many awards, and "Mr. Donkey" is also a masterpiece with great staying power.

If Liu Yifei tries to play this kind of role, she may really win an award and make some breakthroughs in art awards.

But this is just an idea that Wu Yuan casually thought of.

Think about it carefully, whether it is "Better Days" or "Mr. Donkey", it is not easy to play the heroine of these two movies well.

In comparison, "Better Days" is more suitable for Liu Yifei, but Huang Xiaoya's performance in this movie is so good that Wu Yuan will think of her face when he thinks of this movie.

In "Mr. Donkey", Ren Suxi also performed the essence and soul of this role.

It can be said that in these two movies, the actors made the roles, not the roles made the actors.

Liu Yifei's biggest disadvantage is that she is too beautiful.

If she plays "Better Days", I'm afraid she can't act out the miserable state of Chen Nian.

This has nothing to do with acting skills, it's purely a disadvantage in image.

The same makeup, let Huang Xiaoya do it, it's so ugly and miserable, it makes people feel distressed.

But if Liu Yifei does it, although she can also make it look like she was abused, everyone will pay more attention to her beauty.

Wu Yuan instantly understood why it is not easy for good-looking actors to win awards, whether it is the Oscars or the three major European awards.

It's really difficult for them to act like ordinary people and ordinary people.

Just looking at your face, you won't think you are ordinary.

He also understood why Leo wanted to ruin himself and turn his handsome face into a fat and bitter face.

Perhaps this is the humor of the entertainment industry.

If you are not a handsome man or a beautiful woman, you can't enter the entertainment industry and become a glamorous actor.

But if you want to play the top and best roles, you can't be a handsome man or a beautiful woman. You have to be an actor with "ordinary face" like Ren Suxi, Huang Xiaoya, and Huang Bo, so that the audience can resonate and focus on the story itself, not the actor's image.

A beautiful face made Liu Yifei successful, but also limited her.

"Fortunately I didn't become an actor." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

With his handsome face, if he became an actor, it would be difficult for him to win the three major European film emperor awards.

Fortunately, compared with "Mr. Donkey", at least Liu Yifei can still give it a try in "Better Days".

The heroine of this movie, Chen Nian, is an excellent student in the school. She looks weak, but she is a strong girl.

It's just that Huang Xiaoya looks ordinary, which makes this character an ordinary girl in Wu Yuan's memory.

But no one stipulates that excellent students can't look good.

Perhaps finding an actor with good looks will indeed make the movie lose a little color, and let the audience pay more attention to Liu Yifei's appearance rather than the story when watching the movie, but the impact will not be that great.

In comparison, the role of Ren Suxi in "Mr. Donkey" is really not beautiful. This kind of black humor comedy is not suitable for beautiful actors.

"Xixi, I do have an idea for a good script." Wu Yuan came back to his senses, looked directly into Liu Yifei's eyes, and whispered: "This is a story about teenagers and school violence."

"I have a feeling that if this story can be filmed well, it will be easy to get the three domestic gold medals."

"But this play is difficult to act."

"It's a great challenge for you."

"Do you want to give it a try?"

"Yes!" Liu Yifei did not hesitate at all, "School violence, I also experienced it in the first few years of studying in the United States."

"I want to make this movie!"

Don't worry, there will be no real kissing scenes
