Three days later, Luo Xun went to the agreed place and met with Zhou Meisen, the chief screenwriter of "In the Name of People".

"Hello, Mr. Luo Xun."

Screenwriter Zhou shook hands with Luo Xun politely: "I have read your screenwriting works before, and you happen to be the male lead of this play, so I want to discuss some of the script processing with you."

"Mr. Zhou is polite."

The other party gave face, and Luo Xun naturally gave face, "Can I take a look at the script?"

"Okay."

The other party took out the script and handed it to Luo Xun. The thick cover of the script had five big characters "In the Name of People" written on it.

Luo Xun settled down temporarily.

He read the script in the hotel for the next two days. This play is very important to him and must be taken seriously.

As expected.

Because the actors changed a lot, although the core of "In the Name of People" is to fight corruption, the plot content has changed and is more in line with the characteristics of the actors.

But...

Based on Luo Xun's experience and his understanding of the original version, he did see some inappropriate content, such as the yellow-haired line in his previous life, which was indeed preserved in this life. Luo Xun shook his head and said, "There are so many big names, and the audience loves to watch them. Why don't they show more of the TV Kings' performances instead of wasting the shots on meaningless characters?"

Think about it.

Luo Xun probably understood the idea of ​​screenwriter Zhou. It was nothing more than a double-line narrative, one side talked about the high-level game, and the other side talked about the current situation of the little people, thus forming an opposition. This plot was a bit of a way to please young audiences, because screenwriter Zhou was afraid that the audience would not feel involved in the performances of a group of old actors, and everyone would want to see more young characters...

But it didn't make any sense.

But Luo Xun was very sure of one thing, that is, this flattery actually hit the audience's horse leg. If there is any big flaw in "In the Name of the People", it is undoubtedly:

Ten thousand people wrote in blood to ask the yellow-haired to be offline!

The presence of Huang Mao severely compressed the role space of other actors. What everyone wants to see is Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Dakang, Comrade Sha Ruijin, etc., as well as the undercurrents among the leadership!

In fact, let alone Huang Mao.

Even the protagonist is not well received by the audience.

In the previous life, "In the Name of the People" was very popular, but Lu Yi was complained by some viewers, saying that his acting skills were beaten by the old actors, but in fact, Luo Xun, as the protagonist of the new version, knew very well that Lu Yi was indeed to blame for this, but there were also excusable reasons-

The character setting given to him by the script was not well played.

Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, is too upright and speaks very officially, to the point that there are no fish in the water when it is too clear, so that many viewers feel it is fake!

It's as if this person is not a human being.

It's just a synonym for justice.

Of course, his acting skills were indeed beaten. Although it is a very righteous character setting, in fact, Hou Liangping should have his own characteristics, and Lu Yi obviously did not grasp this essence.

Let's see what the script says.

In the script, Hou Liangping is described as: very sharp, thinking about problems from a tricky angle, able to act according to the situation, and full of justice.

As soon as he appeared on the stage.

Three big dramas.

He ended the political career of a director in a flash. Monkey's psychological warfare and social experience are supposed to be extremely rich, but Lu Yi's interpretation seems unreliable.

It can even be said that...

He was suppressed by Zhao Dehan in the early stage, and was carried away by Hou Yong's emotions in the later stage, and sometimes used roars to cover up his lack of confidence.

So it's a pity.

Lu Yi failed to bring out the sharpness of Monkey, but often looked rash.

In addition.

Lu Yi's interpretation of the source of Monkey's sense of justice is the biggest failure in his acting. Most of the official rhetoric is too perfunctory, and he likes to talk about grand narratives at every turn. The performance style of reading lines makes it difficult for the audience to believe that he thinks so.

Some people think that Lu Yi speaks in official language...

This is actually okay, because Lu Yi is not the only one who speaks in official language in this play. Chen Yanshi also speaks in official language often, coming and going from where to where at any time, but he gives people the feeling that he is an enthusiastic old revolutionary who has retired but is still a little behind. There is such an old revolutionary.

Secretary Dakang also often says "The blacksmith must be strong himself."

But it doesn't make people feel that he is talking nonsense, but rather a sublimated summary of life experience. Others include Ding Yizhen, Zhao Dehan, etc. They will speak in official language in various occasions when they are needed. This kind of political language that speaks in official language is an indispensable part of this circle.

Only the monkey played by Lu Yi reads out the feeling of the news broadcast.

Luo Xun can feel that he is trying to construct a value system to support his sense of justice and provide a basis for his unswerving anti-corruption mission. Unfortunately, this construction failed.

Therefore, it seems that the main theme is covering its ears and stealing the bell.

In terms of acting, Lu Yi's interpretation is OK, especially the scenes with Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, which are very good and show the other side of Monkey in a more comprehensive way. He is not rigid in life, and he likes to fool people and play pranks. His sense of justice is like a sharp sword in a sheath, which is fatal when it is pulled out, and it is hidden when it is not attacked.

Unfortunately, due to the failure of constructing values, he looks a bit split from his previous image when he is acting. It seems that this person can be slick, but not solemn.

The scenes related to steamed buns are not very good either.

Baozi is a veteran who has been struggling in society. He is thick-skinned, smart, and cunning. The actor played this role to the fullest. When acting with him, Monkey's principle is not well reflected, but he is a bit pretentious and keeps people away.

To be fair.

The relationship between the two is so close, Cai Chenggong is in a desperate situation, and he is not really bombarding you with sugar-coated bullets. Do you need to be so angry?

Luo Xun vaguely remembers.

In the scene where Cai Chenggong gave gifts, Monkey's anger value was always unstable. From time to time, he used official language to block, teach, and criticize people instead of convincing people with reason. This makes people empathize with Cai Chenggong more, and Monkey is highlighted as Zhao Ritian with the aura of the protagonist and driving straight ahead.

There are many similar examples.

In short, Lu Yi's acting skills do have flaws, and what Luo Xun has to do is to avoid making the same mistakes as the original.

It's a pity that the script has not been completed yet.

Luo Xun thought that since he was the screenwriter, he basically had to write the character biographies. It just so happened that the original identity of the character Hou Liangping was indeed worth mentioning, which would be helpful for Luo Xun to shape the character. However, the original TV series and the script of this play seemed to be a little vague about this.
