Chapter 13 Fairy Tale
Wang Xiaoshuang has an oval face and a delicate, refined look. She's the kind of girl who's a high school beauty, a dream girl, with long, flowing hair!
Actually, if Wang Xiaoshuang didn't have such a bad reputation, too many haters, and poor public image, she could have easily made films about first love or youth films like those years!
As for the other roles, such as the parents and relatives of the male and female leads, we can just find some affordable, well-acting veteran actors. No problem!
As I said before, the main focus of this film is on the male and female leads, especially the female lead.
So soon, once all the actors had arrived, Wang Xiaohao began to give them a preview of the scene.
Many directors like to do this kind of work during filming.
That's because these directors don't know what kind of feeling or what kind of visuals they want to create before they start filming.
Wang Xiaohao was different; he had seen the original film and knew very well what he wanted to make it look like.
Therefore, before filming even begins, it is necessary to explain this clearly to all the actors.
Especially the male and female leads!
He said to Wang Xiaoshuang, "Xiaoshuang, you must remember, although the movie we're acting in is called 'My Sassy Girl'..."
However, the female lead must be cute beneath her savagery, rather than being purely savage.
You must be careful about this; don't overdo it!
Wang Xiaohao was a little worried and gave him many instructions!
Wang Xiaohao mainly felt that this woman's mental state was not very stable. Other people go on variety shows to show their best side and attract fans.
But this woman revealed her true personality on a variety show—she's a total drama queen!
Although, whether it's women or female celebrities, there are quite a few who are very skilled at it.
But you can't expose that on variety shows... or even start a fight with several other female celebrities on variety shows.
That's going too far!
Wang Xiaohao was genuinely worried that this woman would portray herself like that in the drama!
In that case, the show is doomed!
Wang Xiaoshuang had been comforted by Huang Anzhong not long ago, and she did show some respect for Wang Xiaohao.
She said, "Don't worry, Director, I understand! Isn't the girl charming and adorable!"
Most importantly, it's beautiful!
As long as the director shoots it beautifully, then being domineering is actually cute!
Director, you must have filmed it beautifully!
Wang Xiaohao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and laughed, "Don't worry! The lighting and photography I found are all from a background of shooting male-male films."
I can't say about other things, but this will definitely make you look beautiful!
Directors who come from a background of making Gossip films generally have one flaw: they like to film the characters and scenes very beautifully.
Well, GG, you have to showcase the product.
How can you sell products that aren't attractive or pretty?
The famous Hollywood actor Michael Bay from his previous life was most experienced in this regard.
After speaking about Wang Xiaoshuang, Wang Xiaohao looked at the male lead.
Wang Xiaohao has a bit of a headache!
This guy was someone Huang An put in there; he seems to be connected to some investor.
You can tell from his appearance that this guy is a rich kid. He's lazy and has no manners.
He's also rather ugly, with a round face. I really don't know how he had the courage to play the male lead!
Fortunately, the male lead in the original version was ugly! There are many Koreans with round faces anyway.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaohao really wouldn't have had the courage to let this guy play the male lead.
Moreover, in terms of character design, the male lead cannot be too handsome; he needs to be an average-looking guy, at most a bit approachable.
You know the prince and Cinderella story, right?
All so-called fairy tales are stories of princes and Cinderella.
Even "My Sassy Girl" carries that element to some extent.
It's just the other way around, princess and ordinary people!
An ordinary guy and a stunningly beautiful woman meet by chance and become lovers, you know... that's how male viewers can easily relate to the story!
If you find such a handsome male lead, and it's like a prince and princess story, how are the male audience supposed to relate to the characters?
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao had no choice but to accept the male lead that the investor had forced into the project.
But this guy's nonchalant attitude is always really annoying!
Fortunately, this guy still had some respect for director Wang Xiaohao.
Otherwise, if this guy goes against Wang Xiaohao, Wang Xiaohao will probably be in an even more difficult situation!
Hemp egg!
Wang Xiaohao cursed inwardly, "This is my first time acting, and the female lead is a ticking time bomb, while the male lead is this kind of guy."
Why is my life so miserable!
Despite his complaints, Wang Xiaohao actually knew that his situation was already quite good.
Celebrities are almost all difficult to deal with!
Despite the glamorous public image of many celebrities, most of them actually suffer from psychological problems.
It's a bit better in China, but abroad, every artist who succeeds has suffered countless hardships behind the scenes before they can stand out and become famous.
When you're not famous, you'll risk everything for a chance to become famous.
Once they become famous, many people, out of psychological compensation, wish they could float in the sky and inflict the suffering they endured on others a hundred or a thousand times over!
So, to be a director, you need to have a big heart.
You deal with all sorts of terrible and difficult actors.
Of course, big-name directors are an exception!
Because big-name directors stand at the top of the industry food chain, they can point their fingers at any popular actor and hurl insults.
And I guarantee that not a single actor will dare to make a sound!
Abroad, especially in Hollywood, the situation is a little better.
Due to the industrialization of film, the role of the director has been continuously weakened, turning them into a link in an assembly line.
However, in the country, directors are at the very top of the food chain!
No amount of capital can help in front of those great directors!
Because the industry is open, there's an overabundance of capital. But good directors are limited!
So it became a case of capital chasing directors, rather than directors chasing capital!
Things will only gradually change after the film and television industry enters a downturn!
Take Wang Xiaohao for example. As long as his movie "My Sassy Girl" is successful, the box office will be around 50 to 60 million.
If he wants to make a second film, he won't lack funding.
At that time, a large number of people will be willing to invest in Wang Xiaohao's new movie!
In this situation, big-name directors truly control everything on set like emperors. What's a few words of criticism from an actor?
It's the small-time directors like Wang Xiaohao who haven't made it big yet who are the most pitiful, having to coax these actors, especially the lead actors!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohao forced a smile and said to the male lead, "Ah Quan! You can't look like this, it doesn't fit the image of our movie's male lead."
You need to take off your earrings, and that blond hair—uh, blond hair—you'd better dye it back to black!
In the original Korean version, it's okay if the male lead has blond hair.
After all, countries like Japan and South Korea have a deep-seated worship of foreign things. Dyeing one's hair blonde is perfectly normal and commonplace for them.
But that won't work in China, especially since the male lead is portrayed as an honest, simple-minded man who ends up taking the fall.
That definitely can't be blond!
