For the audience, the elements of a good drama are actually very simple, in addition to a good plot, the actors also largely determine the quality of the play. Many of the earlier classic TV series can win such a high reputation, many of them are due to the selection of the right actors, such as the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" that can still attract the love of many viewers, this series of dramas can be said to have considerable national popularity, and to this day some TV stations will often take it out.
Li Chengru broke the news in the latest "Drama Confucian Life" that a problem is difficult to choose an actor? Why is it so hard? Li Chengru gave a very vivid example.
One day, director Zhao Baogang, who was a classmate of Li Chengru, was very unhappy, and Li Chengru asked him: "What's wrong?" Director Zhao Baogang replied to him: "It is too difficult to choose actors, and I have not been selected until now." Li Chengru said, "Is it so difficult?" I'll help you choose! ”
So Li Chengru helped director Zhao Baogang pick out more than a hundred pieces and then picked two out and said: "These two are good!" Zhao Bao was happy as soon as he saw it, and said, "I'll let you see how hard it is!" It turned out that when director Zhao Baogang took Li Chengru to see reality himself, he didn't know how to look at it and was shocked. This is a difference of 108,000 miles.
Li Chengru mentioned that there was a period of time when the film school was a net recruit of small flowers, and when they were studying in the film school, the girls were at least above one meter sixty-five, and the boys were at least one meter seventy-six, which at least had a very scientific proportion. Li Chengru said that now one meter five five, one meter five eight actresses are also, short on the pad an apple box, the first floor is not on the second floor, he has seen the actress standing on the second floor to pad the apple box, and lamented that it is too difficult to find an actor.
Li Chengru finally understood why it was difficult to choose an actor, because he had to look at the past one by one, not just the photos. Li Chengru lamented that the current technology is too developed, so that people can't see the real beauty at all. So it's very difficult to choose actors.
Choosing the right actor is never an easy task, and choosing an actor under the requirements of the role and the actor is very close to the face is a huge test for the casting director. Especially in today's big wave of IP adaptation, many film and television works are now adapted from the original, and the original has accumulated some book fans, "a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts", the protagonists in the eyes of each fan are different, so the first step in making the audience confident in the film and television works on the road of film and television is to choose an actor who meets the original role, and the reputation accumulated by the original works will not be exhausted in the early stage of shooting.
Some people say that in the past, how did all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women appear in major good dramas? Here Teacher Li Chengru said the key point, because science and technology is not so developed, so what a beautiful and prosperous Hong Kong was before. One by one, unparalleled newcomers, Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, Zhou Runfa, the four heavenly kings, Wang Zuxian, and so on, all appeared in that era, but now? Can anyone still show up? Heck, why are times getting better and better, and people who represent our times can't show up?
