Chapter 612 Wu Yuan’s New Work?

Life still has to go on.

Although it is a bit sad, the filming of "Go Away! Tumor King" is still going on after Xiong Dun's memorial service.

The crew members who originally wanted Xiong Dun to see this movie with all their might adjusted their mentality after a week of frustration and sadness.

Although Xiong Dun can't see this movie, the vast number of other cancer patients in China, hundreds of millions or even tens of millions, need the encouragement of this movie.

Xiong Dun's tenacious struggle against the disease and his optimistic and positive attitude must be carried forward!

With this belief, the filming of "Go Away! Tumor King" was not affected, and everyone even worked harder.

It is expected that the filming of this movie will be completed before January, but because Xiong Dun has passed away, it is not so urgent to release it, and it can be done slowly in the later stage.

The current plan of Light and Shadow Times is to schedule "Go Away! Tumor King" in the summer of next year.

It's not aimed at college students, but mainly because there are no good schedules at the beginning of the year. In February, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released, and March and April were completely off-season.

Although May and June are better, they have never been popular schedules, so the summer schedule is still the most suitable.

As for why it is not scheduled for National Day or even Lunar New Year, of course it is because the company has other film plans, and this better schedule must be reserved for better movies.

"Kunlun" and "War of the Demon Tide" have been approved. It is expected that "Kunlun" should be able to catch up with the Lunar New Year next year, while "War of the Demon Tide" is expected to be delayed until the year after next.

National Day schedule.

Naturally, it is left to Wu Yuan himself.

His "The Martian" has been scheduled in North America and will be released in the summer in North America. Although it has a little overlap with "Go Away Tumor", the themes of these two movies are completely different, and "The Martian" is mainly aimed at the international market, and the impact in China is not great.

Before the release of "The Martian", Wu Yuan was free and planned to shoot the Chinese film he had thought of before.

Yes, it was the film that combined "Dear" and "Lost and Love".

Wu Yuan still planned to name this film "Dear", and the main actors were also planned to be the actors in "Dear".

That is, Huang Bo and others.

It's not that he doesn't like Liu Dehua, but he has to admit that Liu Dehua's performance in the emotional drama is not as good as Huang Bo.

It's not that Liu Dehua's acting skills are not good.

But he is too handsome.

It's not nonsense that the judges of those film festivals don't like handsome and beautiful actors.

When he was young, Wu Yuan did have the same idea as many netizens, thinking that the judges of those film festivals didn't like actors who were too beautiful, which was discrimination against these handsome men and beautiful women and unfair treatment.

But with the growth of experience and directing skills over the years, Wu Yuan gradually understood the views of these judges.

It's really not intentional discrimination.

Under the same acting level, the performance of ordinary-looking actors is indeed better than that of beautiful actors.

For example, in the same crying scene, even if the beautiful actors do cry sincerely and their acting skills are full, their performance is not as good as that of ordinary-looking actors with tears and snot flying.

The crying effect of ordinary actors is more likely to move and empathize the audience, because they cry ugly.

This kind of ugliness is what everyone often sees in daily life.

Maybe it's a friend who hugs you and cries bitterly after a breakup, or a stranger who hugs his head and cries and collapses in the subway, or a couple who breaks down emotionally on the street.

The audience has seen these "ugly appearances" in life, and it is easy to empathize with them.

And how many ordinary audiences have seen in life the appearance of a beautiful beauty or handsome man crying with tears and snot, and the facial features completely collapsed?

Everyone really can't empathize with this scene, and even has some different ideas.

For example, "So this is how Liu Yifei looks when she cries" and "How come Liu Yifei looks so beautiful when she cries bitterly?" and other emotions.

But people will never think about such things when Huang Bo cries bitterly.

It is this difference that will affect the audience's perception.

When watching ordinary-looking actors perform high-explosive emotional scenes, everyone will completely immerse themselves in the story and follow the emotions on the screen from beginning to end.

But when watching beautiful actors perform high-explosive emotional scenes, everyone will evaluate the appearance and expressiveness of these actors and will not immerse themselves in the story at all.

So the more literary and artistic films there are, the more emotional scenes there are, the less directors like to use very beautiful actors, because it will ruin the show!

Of course, this is limited to this type of subject matter.

In romantic films, directors like to use beautiful actors, the more beautiful the better.

Because love movies are love fantasies, audiences prefer to see handsome men and beautiful women fall in love on the screen, rather than seeing ordinary people who look like themselves fall in love, because they have experienced enough of ordinary people’s love.

So, choosing the right type of actors for the right type of movie is a big subject.

Now Wu Yuan has studied this subject very deeply.

As a social and emotional film about an ordinary middle-aged couple looking for their abducted child, the movie "Dear" does not need any handsome men and beautiful women to add color to the movie.

What is needed is an ordinary middle-aged couple.

Huang Bo is very good.

As for the heroine, Hao Lei was already pretty good.

Although Hao Lei is pretty, her temperament always has a bit of "country flavor". With a little makeup and dressing up, she really has the feeling of a middle-aged woman.

Her later acting career was mainly in this area.

However, Wu Yuan had another idea. There was another actor who was more suitable for this role than Hao Lei.

That was Tan Zhuo!

Tan Zhuo, this actor, is really amazing, as if she was born for art films.

Starting from the love film "Spring Breeze Intoxicated Night" directed by Lou Ye, Tan Zhuo has become a hot commodity for domestic art film directors.

She has given wonderful performances in movies such as "Hello! Mr. Tree", "Little Lotus", "Silent Burst", "Summer in Xixiao River", and "Dying to Survive".

More importantly, Tan Zhuo's appearance is not that of a sharp one. Although she can't be said to have an ordinary appearance, she is not the kind of beauty that you will notice at first sight.

Moreover, with the addition of her temperament, the "blandness" of her facial features makes her look like a widow who has lost her son.

Although it is a bit bad to say this, she is really born with a "widow look", and she is very suitable to play the mother whose son is missing in "Dear".

In addition, there are a lot of quarrels between the male and female protagonists in this movie. Tan Zhuo is very professional in playing such scenes. She is very good at "quarreling".

After thinking about it, Wu Yuan felt that Tan Zhuo was more suitable for this movie than Hao Lei.

If suitable, invite!

Taking out his mobile phone, Wu Yuan called Li Xiaoping: "Please arrange a meeting with Hao Lei and Huang Bo for me."

"What to talk about?"

"Of course, my new movie!" (End of this chapter)
