This Emperor is Only An Actor

Generally speaking, in fact, every director has actors he particularly admires, and he is particularly willing to use each other.

For example, Xiaogangpao was particularly willing to use Ge You, and later he was particularly willing to use Huangxuan.

Wu Ershan is particularly willing to use Chen Kun. Both Painted Skin 2 and Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon are the male protagonists of Chen Kun.

Jiang Wen... is especially willing to use his wife Zhou Yun, regardless of whether the role is suitable or not, and whether he can be popular at all.

As for Zhang Yimou, in the past he was particularly willing to use Gong Li...

Later, he broke up with Gong Li and made a movie to change the heroine.

As for the actor, Zhang Yimou publicly said that he thinks that the best actress in Longguo is Gong Li, and the best actor is Chen Daoming, so he asked Gong Li and Chen Daoming to play Return.

These two people are indeed worthy of his praise, and the acting skills shown in Return are all at the textbook level.

Of course, this is just Zhang Yimou's own personal ranking.

In Yue Guan's heart, Chen Daoming is indeed an excellent actor, but he does not have that unique status.

Let Chen Daoming play Shang Yang...

Yue Guan thought about it carefully, and then frowned and said: Director Zhang, Shang Yang is a saint in the script setting of The Immortal Qin Empire, Bai Qi made the great reputation of Immortal Qin, and Shang Yang built the foundation for Immortal Qin The Legalists have always been strict, and Chen Daoming's temperament tends to be refined, are you sure he is suitable to play Shang Yang?

Zhang Yimou had true love for Chen Daoming, so he said without thinking: With Chen Daoming's acting skills, isn't it easy to play a harsh and domineering Dharma saint?

Yue Guan: ...

Can't refute.

Chen Daoming does have this kind of acting skills.

But Director Zhang, don't you think it's not suitable for the role? Compared with Legalist Shang Yang, I think Chen Daoming is more suitable for Guiguzi.

In the script of The Immortal Qin Empire, there are settings of various schools of thought.

As a name that cannot be ignored, Guiguzi, the founder of Strategist, naturally has a role to play.

And Guiguzi is set by the script to be passed down from generation to generation, and each generation has a Guiguzi.

Guiguzi during the Yingzheng period was given to Weiliao of the Qin State in history.

In the process of Yingzheng's unification of the world, Wei Liao made great contributions, and he was originally a figure that could not be avoided in history.

The script of The Immortal Qin Empire overstated Wei Liao's setting. As an equally important boss in the Xianqin series, Guiguzi of course also needs a super big bull to hold the line.

When Yueguan finished reading the script of The Immortal Qin Empire, his first reaction to Guigu Weiliao was Chen Daoming.

Guigu Weiliao? Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: I remember that Chen Daoming played the role of a diplomat back then, and it was very brilliant.

My 1919, Gu Weijun, that wasn't very good, it was very good. With the role of Gu Weijun, Chen Daoming directly won two movie stars.

The Dragon Kingdom counterattacked Asia after World War II and gradually recovered its vitality. And in 1919, it was still the dark period of Dragon Kingdom.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

One can imagine the pressure, difficulty and even humiliation of being a diplomat of the Dragon Kingdom in that era.

Chen Daoming, who has always been known for his calm and elegant style, played the leading role Gu Weijun in My 1919. Feel the sense of social responsibility and national responsibility of everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, and at the same time fully understand what is meant by a weak country has no diplomacy.

In addition, after watching this movie, I will really feel sorry for Gu Weijun.

No matter how wise and unrestrained the diplomats are, they still cannot change the current situation in the context of the big historical environment.

Yue Guan had watched this movie, and after watching it, he thought, what kind of demeanor would Gu Weijun have if he was born in the era of great powers?

Gu Weijun, who bears the burden of humiliation but is unyielding, and Chen Daoming perform very well.

What if you can put aside the burden of humiliation?

Let a diplomat of Gu Weijun's level use his full firepower, relying on a strong motherland behind him, and show his talents and abilities to the fullest, how is it to scold Fang Qiu for his extraordinary style?

Never had a chance before.

But Guiguzi in The Immortal Qin Empire is an opportunity.

A strategist, the ancient version of a diplomat, walks the world with one mouth.

Guiguzi, the most outstanding strategist in ancient times.

It is supplemented by the Xianqin Empire as the backing.

Yue Guan could only think of one line of lyrics:

Twenty years, in the vertical and horizontal, who can resist?

After hearing Yueguan's words, Zhang Yimou was also moved.

Yueguan, the actor is still more accurate than me. Chen Daoming is indeed more suitable for Guiguzi. Zhang Yimou was convinced.

Yue Guan is actually a bit pity: It would be great if Chen Daoming could be thirty years younger.

What's the meaning?

If Chen Daoming can be thirty years younger, I won't worry about the candidate for Bai Qi. The white clothes kill the gods, the flair is peerless, the young Chen Daoming will definitely be able to hold on, whether it is appearance, temperament or acting skills, Today's young actors, no matter how I taste them, I don't have a good taste.

Bai Qi's setting is to kill the god, the soldier saint, and the murderer who created the bloody sea.

The more so, the easier it is to give a stereotype. The role of Bai Qi wants to be amazing. The actor who plays him should be the type who is elegant and even looks a little delicate, but when it is necessary to show murderous aura, it must be shown very well, and the audience should not be allowed to play.

This extreme contrast will deepen the memory of this character many times.

Zhang Yimou agreed with this opinion, and then he sighed: Actually, you can also act.

Yue Guan: ...

He can indeed act, but he definitely wants to play Ying Zheng more.

If you let Chen Daoming play Guiguzi, Shang Yang will be free again. Zhang Yimou frowned and said, Yueguan, your demands on Shang Yang are harsh, domineering and cold. I remember that Shang Yang portrayed by Wang Zhifei in The Fission of the Great Qin Empire Not this type?

Yue Guan: ...You're right. Wang Zhifei's version of Shang Yang is almost a perfect man. It's a bit over-glamorized. It's not the feeling of Shang Yang I want.

Then you still recommend Wang Zhifei? His impression of Shang Yang in the audience's mind has already been finalized. It seems that some fans asked Zhang Shilai, who played Zhao Gao in the TV series Myth to play Zhao Gao in The Immortal Qin Empire. We are also the first It will be rejected for a while. The characters in The Immortal Qin Empire all want that kind of domineering and powerful feeling. Zhang Shi's Zhao Gao is good, but he plays the hard-working Zhao Gao, the climbing Zhao Gao, not Zhao Gao who is strong enough to dig Xianqin's grave in Xianqinli. The overall temperament does not match, and no matter how good the acting is, it is useless.

There is another biggest problem, whether it is Zhang Shi or Wang Zhifei, they are too famous, and the audience is not familiar with their names. Yue Guan, we are filming Empire of Immortal Qin, which is the largest investment of Dragon Kingdom. Do you think it is appropriate to cast a bunch of people who are not familiar with the audience or people with low status?

Yue Guan was convinced: It's inappropriate, it will easily lower the overall tone of the drama Immortal Qin Empire.

For a play with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, if the main actors are second or third tier regardless of their status or nationality...then no matter how much they brag about it, the audience will feel low.

For example, someone recommended Yan Yikuan to play Bai Qi.

The second male lead of Immortal Qin Empire, for a young actor who has been out of date for many years and has no acting skills, no popularity, no popularity...

How does it make the audience feel tall?

And you asked Chen Daoming to play a supporting role for him?

Ask Chen Kun to play a supporting role for him?

To put it bluntly, does he have the qualifications?

The entertainment industry is so realistic, if it is below a certain level, it is not even qualified to be included in the scope of investigation by top resources.
