"Infinite Transcendence Class" ushered in the finale, and the students' graduation works were also displayed one by one. Among them is the original script film and television short drama "Dream of Starlight" directed by Hao Lei, in this short play, Zheng Hehuizi plays the female lead, Xu Juncong plays the male lead, and Zhang Dongliang plays the supporting actor.
According to the original plot filmed by Hao Lei, the male protagonist played by Xu Juncong is an artist and musician who plays the piano, and the heroine is a beautiful young woman with a dream of stardom.
But here's the problem, Zheng Hehuizi is too beautiful and young, and it doesn't match Xu Juncong as a couple at all, the two of them are more like father and daughter when they stand together, and some netizens left barrage messages ridiculing that the two are like uncles and nieces~~
The two not only do not match their appearance and age, but also have no sense of temperament CP, even if the two dance together, they do not produce the wonder of a musical.
Hao Lei's purpose in directing this original work is to present a short play with musical elements, but Xu Juncong did not show high persuasiveness in terms of appearance or music and dance performance.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Dongliang, who played a supporting role, which made my eyes shine. Since Zhang Dongliang participated in the show, he unexpectedly opened a new century of his own performance, and it turned out that he was super suitable for playing the role of "Sven scum".
And this time Zhang Dongliang starred in Hao Lei's works, and also played a very business-minded person, and the most important thing is that Zhang Dongliang himself is a singer, and he is very suitable for acting in this kind of short play in the form of musicals.
The most important thing is that Zhang Dongliang is thin and taller, so netizens have complained in the barrage, why don't you let Zhang Dongliang play the male lead, in fact, Xu Juncong's characteristics as a comedian are more suitable for playing the role of Zhang Dongliang!
Click on the barrage casually, and you will find a complaint!
Everyone questioned Hao Lei's casting aesthetics, why did Xu Juncong play the piano musician? Obviously, Zhang Dongliang has more of an artist's temperament, while Xu Juncong is more suitable for smart characters such as low-level people.
The most critical point is that netizens have complained that Zhang Dongliang, whether it is age or appearance, is more compatible with Zheng Hehuizi, at least more suitable than Xu Juncong.
So netizens left a barrage message saying that Hao Lei's casting failed this time, because of the not very good impression brought by the inappropriate role, and the whole work was also a failure! Bad review!
Indeed, Xu Juncong is really too old! And his whole temperament does not fit the temperament and aura of the role pianist, which makes people feel very abrupt.
What's even more abrupt is Xu Juncong's Northeast accent, which has a sense of joy in his mouth, making it hard to believe that he is playing an elegant and cold pianist!
Not only did I complain to netizens, but even Yan Bei, one of the judges in the show, a famous film and television producer, and a former producer of TV series such as "Long Song Xing", "Off the Rails" and "Cherish the Flowers", couldn't help but complain that Xu Juncong's image was very inconsistent with the role!
Yan Bei's face widened, and she directly asked Hao Lei why she chose Xu Juncong to play the male lead?
And Hao Lei's answer is that Xu Juncong can dance!
But if we look back at the clip of Xu Juncong and Zheng Hehuizi dancing in the plot at the beginning, we will find that Xu Juncong, who can dance, dances without a sense of strength, and there is no standard for Zheng Hehuizi who can't dance.
Pick out a few details, look at this scene, Xu Juncong's arms were not straightened when he danced, it was too perfunctory to dance like this, right?
Is this what Xu Juncong impressed Hao Lei? If you look at dance skills, Xu Juncong's role is not too convincing, and Hao Lei's casting is also eye-catching!
Hao Lei is still explaining, saying that actors are actors, and she doesn't think that comedians can't play non-comedy roles. It is true that Hao Lei's words make sense, and many comedy celebrities also have masterpieces, such as Zhao Benshan's "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" and "The Grandmaster".
But the problem is that, as Yan Bei said, Xu Juncong can play non-comedy roles, but he is not suitable for playing the leading role this time, because whether it is image temperament or age and appearance, it is too different from the image of the actor in the short drama!
Female producer Yan Bei said that Xu Juncong lost at least 30 pounds before he could get close to the image of the male protagonist. And Yan Bei also said that with Xu Juncong's current appearance, he and Zheng Hehuizi have no sense of CP, and they will play as soon as they see Xu Juncong!
Yan Bei also focused on complaining about Xu Juncong's Northeast accent, playing this kind of dream art actor, the accent is too important. Xu Juncong has a Northeast flavor in his mouth, it is difficult to make the audience believe in the character, and it is easy to play.
I agree with Yan Bei's statement that Hao Lei chose Xu Juncong to play a piano artist for the sake of challenges and attempts, and somewhat to reflect Hao Lei's own training ability as a director.
But before Hao Lei challenged, did she also have to consider the most basic adaptability of the actor and the role? Spring and snow, if it is not suitable, it is not suitable, no matter how good Xu Juncong's acting skills are, he can't fill the gap between him and the character.
In addition, Hao Lei was complained about not only the casting failure this time, but also netizens questioned her original script, how can the more you look at it, the more it looks like the story of "La La Land"?
