Chapter 396 396. Rejuvenation
Looking at the girl in front of him, Nie Wei not only thought about Lin Yifei in another time and space.
As the most popular among the four little actresses at that time, Lin Yifei was undoubtedly the most promising among the new four little actresses after the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". And after this TV series, she also started to work in movies. , and has a rich variety of genres, and is obviously determined to break through the image.
But what's the result?
There were a lot of movies in a lot of genres, including big productions by famous directors, and collaborations with big-name artists like Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Chow Yun-fat, etc., but in the end, none of them had any impressive roles.
In the end, she gave up TV dramas, but the movies did not bring her the influence she deserved, so the actress who was once the most watched among the four little girls became a presence among actresses of the same age. In short, her position is very embarrassing. , more than what is lacking is more than what is lacking.
So from the beginning, Nie Wei planned to give Lin Yifei a breakthrough role, hoping that she could immediately take root in the audience's mind as a filmmaker and complete a beautiful turn, so that her future path would be undoubtedly It will also be much easier to walk.
But again, this is also a very difficult challenge. After all, although the character is good, if the actor performs it poorly, the audience will scold him.
So when facing Lin Yifei's curious and eager eyes, Nie Wei's first sentence said: "This role is not easy, it is difficult."
Lin Yifei was startled. Nie Wei's serious face made her suddenly feel that this was not a joke. She swallowed subconsciously, but soon the girl felt that her reaction was timid. This made her very angry. Why should she be timid? You can also act on your own.
So the girl immediately raised her head and stared directly at Nie Wei, as if this was the only way to express her confidence in her acting skills.
"You need to cross a large age range." Nie Wei said again, ignoring the girl's silly look.
Lin Yifei expressed doubts after hearing this. It spans a large age range? So I subconsciously asked: "Are you asking me to play the old lady?"
"That's right!" Nie Wei snapped her fingers, and Lin Yifei finally said the key point.
This time it was Lin Yifei's turn to be surprised. She wanted to play an old lady? What a joke! ! !
She really never thought about it. How would she play the role of an old lady? She is an underage girl. She will not turn eighteen in a few months. It doesn't make sense in terms of her image. Do she need to put on makeup? But after this kind of cross-dressing, can my face still express expressions, let alone acting skills?
Looking at Lin Yifei's ever-changing expression, Nie Wei knew that this girl had gone astray, and quickly explained: "It's not what you think."
"What's that like?" Lin Yifei asked.
"For you to play an old lady, I don't ask you to play an old lady directly, but to use your current appearance to play a character who has the age of a seventy-year-old man but the physical appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl."
Nie Wei explained the matter in one breath. Yes, what Nie Wei is planning to shoot next is the movie "Strange Her" which once caused a huge hit in Korea. Later, China also remade this movie and renamed it "Chongqing". "Twenty Again" also achieved very good box office results.
There is a reason why Nie Wei chose this film, that is, the setting of this film is really attractive.
Just like the previous "Speed Scandal", people will be curious after reading the introduction, because this is not something that often happens around them. It even has a touch of fantasy, and it is even a desire for many people. After all, Rejuvenation has always been one of the important topics of human research.
In addition, this movie covers a wide range of age groups.
From the worries of teenagers in the grandchildren's generation, to the sandwich worries of the parents' generation of 'old people above and young people below', to the worries of the elderly themselves, the range of ages covered is very broad. It can be said that this is also an all-age group. A movie that can be watched at all levels.
But audiences of different ages naturally bring different aesthetics, which requires Lin Yifei to have diversified performances.
This is also the main reason why Nie Wei asked that.
In the next half hour, Nie Wei explained this role to Lin Yifei, and analyzed it from the inside out. The little girl's face also changed from confused at the beginning, to solemn at the end, and full of fighting spirit at the end.
Because Nie Wei said that as long as she plays this role well, the title vase will never be attached to her head again.
This simply captured what Lin Yifei wanted most in her heart.
You must know that vase has always been one of Lin Yifei's pet peeves since her debut. Even though many people on the Internet think that her acting skills are actually quite good, whenever someone calls her vase, although Lin Yifei seems not to care on the surface, in her heart But it’s very uncomfortable.
After all, all actors have a problem, that is, they don’t want the audience’s attention to always focus on their faces, but they want to focus on their acting skills.
This is just like an employee in an ordinary company. They definitely want their boss to praise them for doing a good job, but they don't want their boss to always praise them for being beautiful and handsome.
In the final analysis, it can be summed up in three words: ‘sense of achievement’.
After all, Lin Yifei's beauty has been praised since she was a child. It's not surprising. Only when her acting skills are praised can a girl truly feel a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, why would this girl be obsessed with various roles in various movies in the future? It proved her acting skills, but her vision in selecting films was really not very good, and she wasted her time and achieved nothing.
Lin Yifei didn't know that her acting career would be bumpy in the future, but she was immediately moved by Nie Wei's promise. This is why she showed such a fighting spirit.
"After taking the sculpture, you may not have time to rest. I need to arrange to go to a nursing home every day to experience life. Of course, it is not for you to take care of the elderly, but for you to be a volunteer, to take care of the elderly, and to observe these elderly people from a close distance. , summarizing their daily habits and experiences from the perspective of bystanders, and then applying them to their own acting skills.”
"But I have never been a volunteer." Lin Yifei felt a headache when she heard that she was going to be a volunteer in a nursing home.
"Then do you want to play this role well?" Nie Wei didn't care at all about Lin Yifei's hesitation. As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Wei asked immediately.
"I want to." Lin Yifei replied immediately and subconsciously. After finishing speaking, her face showed a trace of annoyance and she shouted to Nie Wei: "I know, I listen to you."
"That's right." Nie Weiwei smiled. He knew this girl's fate very clearly, and it was really not easy to control her.
In fact, letting Lin Yifei go to the nursing home to experience life also has another meaning, which is to give publicity to the outside world. After all, volunteering is a very positive thing, which is beneficial to Lin Yifei's image. In addition, it can also reflect Lin Yifei's love for this The seriousness of the character gave the audience a preconceived idea. Knowing that this girl was already working hard to experience the character before filming started.
Of course, this is also a good publicity point for the movie itself. In short, there are many benefits, and it will not burden Lin Yifei. After all, Nie Wei will definitely have a good relationship with the nursing home by then, and he will not be allowed to really work like a volunteer. In a lot of work, she mainly does observation.
Lin Yifei left Nie Wei in a good mood and returned to her room.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother was there.
"You're back. I'll help you pack your clothes. You won't be living here in a few days. You choose what to wear these two days, and I'll pack the rest for you early." After Lin Xiaoli saw her daughter coming back, she hit her Say hello, and then ask immediately.
"Mom, why are you so anxious? It won't be finished for several days, isn't it? There will be time to clean up by then." Lin Yifei sat on the sofa and replied nonchalantly. She couldn't think about choosing clothes now, she was thinking about just now The interesting character Nie Wei told her.
Lin Xiaoli didn't know what the girl was thinking, but she knew that this girl had a 'criminal record'. After hearing Lin Yifei's words, she immediately nodded her little head and opened up the old accounts.
"I forgot about the last time I did an event in Mingzhu. You were just procrastinating. In the end, you were in a hurry. In the end, you left a pair of sunglasses at the hotel. Later, you asked Xiao Zhang to go to the hotel to pick them up for you, and then mailed them. Kyoto, imagine the mistake you made. You must be prepared in advance this time to save yourself from trouble others. "
"Okay, everything you said is right. Just leave me two pieces of clothing, and you can pack the rest." Lin Yifei compromised with a guilty conscience. She is indeed a bit of a procrastinator.
Hearing Lin Yifei's words, Lin Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction and started to pack up her clothes. However, Lin Yifei on the side was holding back some good news and wanted to share it, so Lin Xiaoli only tidied up for a while, and Lin Yifei started talking to her over there. .
"Mom, I just went to Nie Wei's place."
"Oh, what are you talking about again?" Lin Xiaoli answered subconsciously.
"Nothing to talk about. It's just about the new movie. Ask about the characters." When she said this, Lin Yifei showed a very indifferent look, but the little girl was already very proud. She probably had a tail. , have now become cocked.
Lin Xiaoli immediately became happy when she heard what her daughter said. Her daughter obviously wanted to show off when she said this, so a mother would naturally have to cooperate.
"What kind of role is it? Isn't it awesome?"
"Of course!" Lin Xiaoli's words just tickled Lin Yifei's heart. She immediately began to retell the story that Nie Wei had just told her to Lin Xiaoli. At the same time, she also explained her role in detail several times, and in the end she did not forget to praise her. Praise Nie Wei.
"How about this role? Isn't this role very interesting? Nie Wei said that playing this role will definitely impress the audience. As long as I play it well, it will definitely become my masterpiece." Lin Yifei was very proud. concluded.
Lin Xiaoli nodded silently. Although she was not a professional filmmaker, from the perspective of an ordinary audience, the story Lin Yifei told her was also very attractive. A seventy-year-old man was rejuvenated to his own youth. It's amazing to think about the twenty-year-old grade. How did Nie Wei's brain grow so long that he could come up with such interesting ideas.
"It's quite interesting. After hearing this, my mother wanted to go to the cinema to watch it."
"I'm just saying, haha, by the way, Nie Wei wants to send me to a nursing home to experience life. Mom, don't feel bad for me." Lin Yifei also told Lin Xiaoli about going to the nursing home as a volunteer.
"Nie Wei had a good idea and just let you go to a nursing home to study. When mom gets old, she will have no choice but to take care of me." Lin Xiaoli not only did not feel distressed, but also fully agreed with Nie Wei's decision.
Lin Yifei puffed up her cheeks to show her anger when she heard this, but she was happy after only three seconds.
There were only three days left for the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes, and at this time, The Legend of Sword and Fairy also ushered in its last episode.
With the death of Zhao Linger, the TV series did not violate the ending of the game, and in the last scene, Lin Yueru appeared in the peach blossom forest holding a baby, which made many people cry.
At this moment, there was no Yao Yue Party, and there was no Yao Ling Party, and netizens were immersed in the atmosphere of sadness.
If you feel sad and want to cry, you will naturally want to vent, and Tangren Company, as the producer, will bear the brunt.
"Didn't the TV series say that there were adaptations? It's useless to change them. Why can't the ending be perfect?"
"I cried bitterly when Lin Yueru sacrificed herself in the Demon Locking Tower. Now Zhao Linger's sacrifice to save the people made me cry again. You screenwriters are just good at deceiving people's tears."
"What a crappy TV series, it's designed to deceive people's tears, is it so cruel?"
There are many complaints from netizens, and some of them are even very unpleasant, but in the eyes of Tangren Company, this is a successful performance. After all, only when the audience is involved will they feel empathy and speak up for the characters in the play.
Only when the audience participates in it, the ratings will be higher.
When the number of comments on Tangren's latest Weibo exceeded 10,000, the latest ratings report for that night was also released. The average rating of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was 3.12, and the highest rating was 5.03! ! !
Breaking 5!
The surprise came too suddenly. Before, everyone expected that the TV series would have no chance of breaking 5. In fact, the highest ratings on the day before were only 4.3. But today, it suddenly increased by 0.73 and broke 5. This was really a sudden gift.
This result also made Cai Yinong shed tears on the spot. She cried for more than ten minutes in her office before she calmed down her excitement.
It can be said without hesitation that this ratings data can definitely enter the top ten of all TV series on satellite this year, and it is even certain to compete for the top three. Cai Yinong knew that she had made the right bet. This TV series was a great success, and she only needed to wait for other TV stations to come and give money!
But before that, she did not forget to notify Nie Wei and others immediately to share this good news with more people.
Thanks to the generous rewards of three book friends, Nu Ruisla Deremiski, Lao Jiu Ouba, and "Fu" Linmen.
