Chapter 1220: Chapter 1211 Pursuit (1)
Sure can.
In the first month, Director Ji finished filming the story scenes.
Xia Siyu took twenty days to finish her part, then appeared on a talk show that everyone loves to critique, and recorded several episodes at once. In between, there were one or two comrcials, and she also flew over to shoot those. Her schedule was fully booked.
The romance variety show is still in production and won’t take too long before filming resus. During this ti, scripts have been sent to her like snowflakes. There really isn’t a floating, well-set movie script that has caught her eye, but there are one or two TV dramas that have intrigued her.
It’s just that she hasn’t completely decided whether to shoot a TV drama, as recently, the so-called “movie stars” coming down to film TV dramas have mostly fallen flat on their faces. If the team isn’t particularly good, she wouldn’t dare to easily try the waters.
However, there is indeed a show recently that she really wants to take on. Although it’s not a major female role, nor does it have a Mary Sue-like floating plot, it’s a period drama. But she thinks the character is quite good, and the front half of the script is really engaging.
Although she has so autonomy in taking on roles, she can’t completely disregard the company’s opinion. Especially when it cos to filming a TV drama, choosing the first one is significant.
She also talked to Qin Baizhou about this good script she got. In fact, even though she has autonomy in choosing roles, not every script will pass before her eyes, as she doesn’t have the ti. Most of these scripts that reach her have already been screened by the company, which considers them relatively reliable.
But whether to take it, and how to take it, she still needs to review with the company.
Xia Siyu also consulted Bo Yan’s opinion when discussing the script.
Bo Yan actually doesn’t mind acting in a TV drama either; so scripts have also been passed to him, but he hasn’t received one that’s particularly good yet, so he hasn’t accepted any.
As for why movie stars often encounter difficulties when transitioning to TV dramas, apart from the fact that a single shot in a movie can be honed many tis while TV dramas primarily rely on the actor’s self-awareness, there’s also the difference in pacing. In movies, like a shot of Xia Siyu raising her head, she must express the feeling in a short ti, even with so lead-up, it’s won’t be long, perhaps a few seconds to ten seconds at the most. But in a TV drama, you can use a few minutes of build-up and finalize it at once. Without grasping the pace, it’s easy to overact.
So, the team is very important, and it’s best to find one that’s been involved in movie production before, for more professionalism.
As for the billing issue, Xia Siyu doesn’t bother to consider it. She’s fine playing the second female lead and feels no sha about being billed lower than Shang Feifei. After all, she can always turn a role into a major one eventually. But these considerations are for the team, and she can’t completely ignore the company’s input.
Switching back to talking about action scenes.
Although this film is a Sino-foreign joint venture and has shooting parts abroad, the most significant scenes, like fighting on rooftops, traversing them, and chasing with heavy motorcycles, involve a lot of action scenes that Xia Siyu participates in.
Except for those to be shot abroad, so action scenes are fild in dostic studios.
The first scene involves playing with guns.
Director Ji placed the firearms on the panel. These guns have no gunpowder in their bullets and are props used for shooting a film.
