Some TV dramas are so rich in content that the minor supporting characters also have their own story lines. This is obviously not the case in idol dramas. In idol dramas, the supporting characters are usually the tool men of the male and female protagonists, and they all exist to promote the plot.
The core characters in this kind of drama are slightly more fleshed-out. Similar to the role that Xu Mi paid for as a supporting role, it has no story of its own. Even if you read the entire script, you won’t know that person’s past, present, and future pursuits very clearly.
For a character like this, even if you let Golden Eagle, Feitian, and Magnolia play it later, you won't be able to make any tricks, after all, the setting is too thin.
In the final analysis, actors and roles complement each other.
Xu Mi had acted in a part before, but the director didn't think it was particularly good, but it was just enough. Once she changed her costume and makeup and picked up the script for the second female lead, her whole demeanor changed drastically, and her acting skills seemed to have improved.
She was worried at first, so she called someone to test shoot a scene to see the effect. Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good. During the playback, she found that the image of Xu Mi seemed to have a bonus when it was displayed on the screen. She has a kind of charm.
"I found a treasure."
I thought he was a difficult person to work with, but everyone on the crew was ready to fight hard. Who knew he was quite talented, and his acting skills were enough to be used in idol dramas anyway. He also has a kind of temperament that made him stand out in the eyes of the audience.
I am willing to go with her.
Everyone watching together nodded, saying it was a good idea, it just needed some polishing.
The director sees further than they do.
This is an idol drama. No audience will ask actors to contribute masterful performances to idol dramas. Generally speaking, as long as it is smooth and not awkward, it will be fine.
More importantly, they are crew members. It is known that Xu Mi’s latest role as the second female lead is not a likable role. Although she has many roles, she is actually the control group of the female lead. This character has a good early stage and is well-dressed.
There are a lot of people who are beautiful and licking dogs, but later things change. Sooner or later, the heroines around her will be attracted by the true, kind and beautiful, and leave the green tea one by one. Knowing that she is playing such a role, you still can't resist her acting coquettishly.
Yeah, I think there's nothing wrong with treating people like princesses, and I won't feel offended at all.
This is the temperament of an actor.
This is not something that can be managed deliberately, but it is very important. There are some good actors in the industry, but because their temperament is not liked by the audience, it is difficult to get a good role after many years in the industry.
I have seen too many people fall apart because of this entanglement. The director said that the world is unfair. The second female lead in his group already has a very good background, but she is still a type with a charm bonus on the screen. With her conditions, she is not popular.
It’s all difficult.
At this time, the director team already felt that the replacement was a good one. Xu Mi just wanted to be better than Xue Wu. They happily filmed for two days when they encountered new problems.
The entire directing team felt that the second female lead became more and more interesting as we watched her.
She is set up as a flower vase, coquettish and arrogant, but after watching the show, no one in the cast disliked her.
Generally speaking, in dramas where the heroine is calmly bossing around the heroine, the audience will be very annoyed. The barrage will definitely be "Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch", "You are finished if you dare to bully my baby like this", "Baby, don't help her."
, quickly throw the rag on her face"...
When they played it back after filming, they didn’t feel like they were angry and wanted to strangle the second female lead to death.
On the contrary, I feel that the heroine is quite sensible. She knows how to do everything, so she should help. My Zaizai’s delicate hands are not made for doing things! There is nothing wrong with asking others to help!
It’s not just one person who thinks this way, everyone who has seen the movie is the same, that’s bad!
The director found Xu Mi and told her the story in person.
"You should have read the script completely, right? What do you think of the role of the second female lead?"
Xu Mi didn't quite understand it, so she thought about it and said, "It's pretty good."
The director was heartbroken after hearing this: "What do you think her role is in this drama?"
"...the heroine's control group? A negative teaching material on the road to life?"
"That's good. Gu Pan in this drama is the control group of the heroine. We set her up as a villain who has no big evil but small bad things that need to be criticized and whose behavior is not worth promoting. How can this character be considered successful?
? She has to fill up her hatred when she is in the spotlight, so that the audience becomes more and more bored with her. Only when the character collapses and becomes depressed in the later stage will the audience feel happy and relieved."
Xu Mi nodded after hearing this.
Yes, that's right, that's it, what next?
director:……
"Your performance is not quite right. Let's look back at the content we filmed in the past two days. Your performance as Gu Pan turned out to be quite likable."
The director asked her to go back and think about it. She could add a little arrogance in her performance. It should show the character's contempt for the heroine. There must be some. So what if she thinks you are capable? You are still not as good as me.
Some actors in the industry are quite stubborn and don't like others to teach them how to act. They just have their own understanding. He thinks this character is like this. Even a junior director would have a headache if he encounters someone like this.
Fortunately, Xu Mi is not.
She is very receptive to criticism and suggestions. No, she will reflect on it when she goes back, and then she will intensify her efforts in the next scene.
The director was deeply pleased...that's weird!
When they finished filming the scene and showed it, they were even more devastated!
Xu Mi did listen to the suggestion. She did look arrogant, but the character still didn't look annoying. The director was puzzled. At this time, a young man in the lighting team muttered: "Panpan is a bit like my family."
Snowball."
Someone else said: "It's really true!"
The director got excited and asked him who Xueqiu'er was?
The young man whose name was called ran to get his cell phone and pulled out a short video he shot at home to show the director.
Snowball is the cat raised by the lighting guy at home.
Sometimes it is so sweet that it will expose its belly to you and meow at you, and sometimes it will not be able to coax it with food, and it will sit there with all its dignity and look at you as a shit-shoveling slave.
Do you think the cat will meow after you have worked so hard to cook it?
You are not just a kitten that you can touch casually if you are given some favors. If I eat you a few bites, it is to give you face!
While the director was watching the video, the lighting guy kept talking about his snowball. The director felt desperate while watching and listening.
Yes, that's it.
The second female lead she plays is too much like a green tea cat who uses her beauty to trick people into eating and drinking.
What happened to hooking up with eight minions?
What do you want to do with some snacks?
Didn’t you voluntarily pay tribute?
…
Of course Xu Mi is not a cat. No matter how she plays the role, she looks like a cat. It makes sense that she looks cute. After all, who would hate a kitten?
The director was lucky to have found a treasure two days ago, but now he is facing a big challenge.
He looked at Xu Mi bitterly.
As if aware of his gaze, Xu Mi looked over suspiciously.
director:……
It's over.
After watching the cat movie, he felt more like...
Why is this happening? Just because there is a Mi in the person’s name???
The director pondered for a long time, but never figured out how there could be someone who could work so well but not be annoying? Xu Mi listened to the assistant director talk about their director's troubles, and when she was confused, she probably guessed that it was from the red envelope last time.
That "special charm" worked.
The second female lead in this drama is particularly bitchy and successfully triggered her skills. Her charm exploded when she acted.
Xu Mi thought for a while and suggested in a low voice: "How about changing the script? I think the heroine and the female duo in our drama are opposites. One is strong in ability, the other has high emotional intelligence, and they can learn from each other and improve each other.
For example, it is set that the second female lead, Gu Pan, does not believe in love and just likes to play with other people's feelings and make people pay for her and spend money on her. At the same time, she has another side. She attaches great importance to the friendship with the heroine and is particularly good to the heroine.
On the one hand, the heroine knows that she is good to her, but on the other hand, she feels that her attitude towards feelings is wrong, which makes her very distressed.
You can arrange a misunderstanding plot in the middle. For example, a male character met the second female lead through the female lead, but was played badly because the female lead had a grudge against the second female lead. The plot can still follow the direction set before.
The heroine is getting better and better, but the second heroine was very miserable later on. When she was at her worst, we exposed it and let the heroine know that things are not that simple. We went to her and told her that the man she was being toyed with was a two-faced person, and then we could click
Come out and say that the second female scumbag is all scumbags, and she doesn't flirt with good people.
The plot has a twist at this point. The heroine and the second heroine resolve their misunderstandings and settle their old feud. They can also reflect on each other and learn from each other. In the end, the two young ladies have become better people.
In this way, there is no need to force the audience to hate the character Gu Pan. The heroine helps the second female lead in life. Similarly, she also has scenes that she is not good at handling. The second female lead can help her. Isn’t it wonderful to be a complementary best friend?"
The assistant director was shocked.
"...You still have this ability??? You can also write scripts???"
Thinking about it carefully, this seems really feasible.
The cheerful and optimistic decathlon heroine who will never be knocked down, and the beautiful second heroine who clearly treats men like best friends and sibling scum! There are conflicts and contrasts, and this version has fuller characters and a richer plot.
Get exciting.
The previous one was a simple control group. Gu Pan was arrogant in the early stage and depressed in the later stage. What he presented to the audience was a counterattack and a slap in the face.
If you change it as Xu Mi said, the content will indeed be richer.
Human beings are not always black and white, and the controversy and charm of Gu Pan's role can be seen immediately.
The more the assistant director thought about it, the more he thought it was good. Changing the script after filming had already started was a troublesome matter, but when he thought that within a few days of filming, the second female lead had been replaced and many scenes had to be reshot, he thought he could mention it to the director.
To be continued...
