Chapter 195 Only by Believing in Yourself Can You Act Well

"The Story of Yang Family Generals".

Such a costume drama is actually a preparation for Lin Qiu to shoot the masterpiece "The Story of the Three Kingdoms" in the future, which is also a costume drama, and accumulate experience.

At that time, there will definitely be a dream linkage with the original work of Lao Zei.

And it is likely that the TV series will be released first.

If you shoot "The Story of the Three Kingdoms" without any experience, you will definitely encounter various problems.

Although the core of the story of Yang Family Generals and the Three Kingdoms is not the same, they are all in the style of Xiazhou costumes, which is the most unique style of Xiazhou!

Among the nine states, the style of Hanzhou gives creators a lot of space, that is, the works that dare to shoot, can stay, or are favored by the nine states market are all satirical of local high-level officials.

In the past, works such as "The Crucible", "Hope", "Memories of Murder" and "Parasite" all have this factor.

And Yingzhou has always maintained a calm temperament, and the overall works tend to be aesthetic and clean.

Needless to say, the most obvious feature of Yinzhou's movies is singing and dancing.

Each state has its own style of film and television dramas, and in Xiazhou, the localized works that can really come to the front of the Jiuzhou stage are ancient costumes!

In the past, "The Great Wall" and "Hero", which were criticized by the domestic market, were able to have a lot of praise in the international market, which is enough to prove that this is the characteristic of domestic films.

But the difficulty of shooting a series of ancient costume movies is too high.

The financial resources required are too large. Unless the national brand personally takes action, ordinary film and television companies will definitely not shoot it considering the cost risk.

The domestic box office is basically terrible. No one dares to invest. This is the basis. First of all, you have to make money before you can consider other things.

How much is the box office of a good ancient costume work like "Embroidered Spring Knife"?

Less than 100 million.

20 years later, traffic is even more dominant. Before Lin Qiu died, the movie of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was ready to be broadcast. The actors were just as popular as Fang Ark. I just don’t know what the result will be. Lin Qiu hasn’t had time to see it.

And its terrifying production cost is enough to make film and television companies and investors retreat.

Even in the film "The Emperor and the Assassin", many actors in it acted for free, and it was a cultural research project. In Lin Qiu's mind, it was a pity that there were few classic costume dramas in China in the previous life.

...

"The investment in this costume drama is more than 400 million."

"If it weren't for official support, it really wouldn't be prepared so quickly."

In July.

The crew of "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals" officially started filming!

In the previous life, the production cost of the old Three Kingdoms exceeded 200 million during that period.

Most of the cost was spent on the construction of the scene, and several Three Kingdoms cities and palaces were built.

The actors' costumes and armor, the ministers' props, and the clothes were all silk, and the armor was also real armor.

This was when the actors' pay was very low.

And many scenes in the new Three Kingdoms many years later were synthesized with computer special effects.

The armor is also a stereotyped plastic mold pressed out of black plastic rubber armor, and the cost is not as much as the old Three Kingdoms.

The audience can naturally tell who is more attentive.

But there is no way around it. The director of the New Three Kingdoms has been saying that he is controlling costs. Obviously, once you stick to the theme of ancient costumes, except for the low-cost ancient puppets, it is extremely risky.

In order to concentrate on filming this "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals", many young actors in the crew turned down all other activities, because they and the company behind them heard that this drama is very likely to be on CCTV and major satellite TV stations.

In addition, it is directed by Lin Qiu, how bad can the quality be?

And maybe it will be a big hit in the whole Xiazhou and become a household TV series.

This kind of achievement may be unbelievable for others, but who is Lin Qiu?

Is there not enough miracles created by Lin Qiu?

Let alone the impressive achievements in animation and movies, a song sung by Lin Qiu on the Spring Festival Gala is now bombarding the streets and alleys!

Just as Lin Qiu's fans said, don't question Lin Qiu before he fails!

…

When Lin Qiu arrived at the set, Fan Zheng, Fang Zhou and other young actors who played the role of Yang Jiajiang were riding horses and trying to get into the role.

In three months, they became good friends who could talk about anything, which was more in line with the brotherhood in the play.

These young actors were not as experienced as Li Jie and Chen Daohua in acting. The filming of "Truman" was more about communication than directing. The actors would communicate with Lin Qiu about how to shoot the scene better.

But in this play, Lin Qiu would give more guidance to the young actors.

In particular, training the acting skills of young actors is the time to reflect the director's level. A young actor with average acting skills will also show a difference in acting skills under the hands of an excellent director and under the hands of an ordinary director.

It can be said that after three months of training camp, the actors of Yang Jiajiang all have the temperament of the sons of generals, especially when they are on horses, they are even more heroic!

This "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals" is not an ordinary male-dominated drama. The perspective does not focus on a certain person, but on the entire Yang family.

This also includes the female generals of the Yang family after the death of the male generals of the Yang family.

But the one with the most scenes should be Yang Liulang, Yang Yanzhao!

In the battle of Jinshatan, seven sons left, and six sons returned!

This six sons does not mean that there are six sons who returned, but only one Yang Liulang, the six sons returned!

After experiencing life and death and family changes, as the only male general of the Yang family, he fought bravely and finally fulfilled his father Yang Ye's last wish, played by Fan Zheng.

Fang Zhou played Yang Qilang, one of the seven sons of the Yang family. In the setting of the script, he is a cunning, smart, optimistic and sunny boy, which is just right for Fang Zhou's appearance, and the final ending is...

He was pierced by thousands of arrows and died heroically.

"Don't be nervous."

"Actors, only believe in yourself can you act well."

Lin Qiu saw that Fang Zhou was a little embarrassed, patted his shoulder and said.

Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you Director Lin."

In his previous life, Director Xiaogang said this when facing questions from the program.

You can't lose your temper with actors, especially celebrity actors, not because celebrity actors can't be scolded.

But celebrity actors act with confidence.

Once confidence is destroyed and you start to question your acting skills, then there will be problems with your acting skills.

The same is true for ordinary actors.

Although Lin Qiu has always been very strict during the filming process of previous movies, he has never scolded any actor.

Even the members of the filming crew couldn't help but give a thumbs up when talking about Lin Qiu.

"Director Lin."

Just after Lin Qiu arrived at the set, Han Lu, who came two hours in advance, came to Lin Qiu with a piece of paper and reported on the preparations for "The Story of Yang Family Generals"!

This kind of filming challenge is unprecedented for Lin Qiu!

In previous films, Lin Qiu would only shoot a few hundred people at the same time, and there has never been a large scene of thousands or tens of thousands of people.

But "The Story of Yang Family Generals" is different. Even if the two armies are facing each other, they don't plan to use special effects, but real shots!

The larger the scale, the test is not only the director's level, but also the professionalism of the entire crew!
