Chapter 2035 "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Casting Issues

"I will play Zhang Fei?" Didn't I say that I would play Lu Zhishen? Why did you change to Zhang Fei again? But it would be pretty good if he could play Zhang Fei, right? Zang Jinsheng rubbed his head and pondered.

His development in these years is neither good nor bad. In his sophomore year, he played a supporting role in the movie "Twenty-Six Girls" directed by Huang Jianzhong. In his junior year, he starred in the drama "The Gold Rush King". He gained attention by playing the role of "Xu Tianxiong", a gold digger who is generous and skilled in martial arts; he also played a cameo in "I Love My Home" and now he is often greeted by people when he goes out to eat. Last year, he also won the Young Actor Progress Award, also It's a well-known and powerful actor.

"Yes, looking at your figure, I think it's quite suitable to play Zhang Fei." Shen Long said, this time he didn't intend to copy the role arrangement in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as it was.

In this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", some characters are very brilliant, such as Cao Cao played by Bao Guoan, Zhuge Liang played by Tang Guoqiang, Guan Yu played by Lu Shuming, Lu Bu played by Zhang Guangbei, Zhou Yu played by Hong Yuyu, Sima Yi played by Wei Zongwan, etc. It left quite a deep impression and can be called a classic.

Oh, and Mr. Dong Ji played Wang Situ. Although he didn’t play much time, he became a classic. Even after more than 20 years, there are still countless people spreading screenshots of Wang Situ on the Internet platform.

But there are also many shortcomings. For example, Guan Yu is the best among the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, followed by Liu Bei. Zhang Fei's performance is also very brilliant, but compared with the previous two, it is slightly weaker.

Shen Long thought about it carefully, and the most shining part of Zhang Fei in the play is probably the scene where the two brothers approached each other slowly on the grass after riding alone in the ancient city after riding thousands of miles away; In most shots, the character creation is a bit too thin. Of course, this may be because Zhang Fei is with Guan Yu and Liu Bei most of the time, and is overshadowed by the performances of Lu Shuming and Sun Yanjun.

"Since you think I can do it, then I'll give it a try!" If this role is played well, it will definitely be of great help to my career, and it was proposed by Shen Long. Zang Jinsheng really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

In fact, this is not the biggest problem in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in terms of actors. The acting skills of Mr. Li Jingfei are far above the level. It is much better than that in "New Three Kingdoms". Zhang Fei in the new version is really good. People don't know what to say.

The biggest problem is that apart from the core protagonists, the rest of the supporting roles are often replaced by actors. For example, Lu Su and Zhang Liao have three roles, Wei Yan has four roles, and Cao Hong and Xu Huang have five roles. , and one of them who played Cao Hong also played Xiahou Dun, Yuan Shao, Jiang Wei, Liu Chan, Pang Tong, Lu Meng, Huang Zhong and other important roles played by more than one person.

most unacceptable,

It's because even a very popular and important role like Zhao Yun can be replaced by three actors. Even if Zhao Yun's age span is too large, it can't be changed so frequently, right? Wouldn't it be nice to let Zhang Shan keep acting? It is not difficult to use makeup to solve age changes in the later stage, right? Isn't that what Zhuge Liang did?

Moreover, one person played several roles, not only Balajuer who played Xiahou Dun, Hong Yuzhou who played Zhou Yu also played Yuan Shao, which made people look very inconsistent.

This is not a monster movie like "Journey to the West". In "Journey to the West", Mr. Yan can play multiple roles at the same time. That's because the monsters have strange looks, some have multiple roles, and some have different fur colors. Once these things are covered up, who cares about the details of the characters? It is impossible to find that these are all performed by one person.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different. Even if Zhou Yu and Yuan Shao's armors are different, that person's face will not change. I just saw Yuan Shao holding a meeting for the Eighteenth Princes, and I saw him running to the east. Wu went to command the army to attack Cao Cao, many viewers will be very depressed, right?

Could it be that you were unconvinced when you lost in Guandu earlier! So he changed his vest and went to Soochow to trouble Boss Cao? I don't want you to cheat like this!

Shen Long thought about it seriously, and felt that this was related to the fact that the shooting time span of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was too long, and it was divided into several groups for shooting. If the time span is too long, there will be problems with the stability of the crew. I passed a certain role, and later quit the crew for various reasons, so naturally I had to change.

And some actors are obviously filming with the director in this group, but another group thousands of miles away also needs him to appear. What should we do now? As long as it's not Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu and other major protagonists, they can only be replaced temporarily, so Wei Yan, Cao Hong, Xu Huang and others have many different faces.

I feel that these people are NPCs, and the director doesn’t pay much attention to them. It’s a bit unprofessional to ask them to come out and finish their lines. Characters like Lu Su, Wei Yan, Cao Hong, and Xu Huang play a lot of roles. The audience will definitely find it awkward to change their faces every time they appear on the stage. Among the four famous TV series, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has the lowest evaluation and ratings. Shen Long estimated that the casting problem was one of the reasons.

In addition, there is also the problem of costume props and make-up design. The costume design of this drama is not as good as that of "Dream of Red Mansions". Chen Hong's appearance is also good enough, why didn't people leave as deep an impression as Su Daji in "Feng Shen Bang"?

Jiangdong Sun Lang Sun Ce is famous for his beauty in the history books. He is a big handsome man, and the actor Pu Cunxin is also a handsome guy. But looking at his appearance in the TV series, does it mean that he is a little handsome?

In addition, there is the problem of war scenes. "Water Margin" was broadcast later, but its ratings surpassed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Of course, there are also reasons for the TV series itself. The threshold for appreciation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a little higher than that of "Water Margin". There are more characters, more complicated clues, and more profound stories, which makes many viewers a little confused. .

Regarding this problem, Shen Long has already figured out a solution, and has already started the preliminary preparations. What is more important now is to solve the problem of casting, and he must not make the mistakes of the original work again.

After all the generals have arrived, I will personally get on the horse and teach them how to fight on horseback!
