This time, Han Mu was very focused on playing the role of Lu Ziqiao. This was his first movie after he transmigrated. He was determined to perfectly present this character!
After the script was finalized, he began to figure out Lu Ziqiao's character and wrote a biography for Lu Ziqiao according to his own ideas.
The so-called biography was a brief record of a person's life story.
There were generally two types of biographies: One was to record the lives of others.
A character biography would only write about the main life experiences and thoughts of the character. It could even choose to write about a few typical things in the character's life. Writing a biography also had to follow the characteristics of a biography. It had to be realistic and did not allow fiction and exaggeration.
In Han Mu's previous life, many famous actors had to write a biography of the character they were going to play in order to figure out the character clearly and be able to do it smoothly during filming.
Some of the actors 'character biographies were even thicker than the script, but only those who really put their heart into acting would do this. It would be a dream to expect those who always used stunt doubles or even miscalculated pictures to do this!
Han Mu knew that Liang Jiahui, the famous actor in his previous life, had gone to Taiwan with the director when he was filming Black Gold. After reading the script, he had collected a lot of gossip magazines that reported on Taiwan's politics and underworld.
He flipped through those magazines every day and felt that this political figure, Zhou Chaoxian, looked like him. After reading the materials, he reread the script and started writing a biography for his character, Zhou Chaoxian.
"The biography I wrote was not about what he had done, but about what an ambitious person like him should be like. Therefore, what the character ate, what he wore, and how he spoke; What kind of attitude would he show up in a meeting? His wife used to be a dancer. Why did he marry this wife? How deep was the relationship between him and his wife? Why was he still with the same woman when he was already a gangster?”
These were the contents of Liang Jiahui's biography.
When Liang Jiahui showed the completed biography to director Mak Dangxiong, the director was completely dumbfounded." You wrote 100,000 words, which is longer than my script!”
The famous actor Zhang Yi once said,""I'll list the story outline, character fate lines, relationship lines, prop lines, mood lines, and so on. He also made a lot of forms. I'm an actor supported by big data. Sometimes, I would draw a coordinate system and combine it with the analysis of the entire text to identify the emotional value of the actor at each point in time. The data axis was very useful. You knew how much emotional value the character had for each scene. For example, when he first appeared, he was young and impetuous. His mood was 10 points. If he got into trouble, his coordinate system would drop to-20. If he reached the lowest point in his middle-aged life, it might be-50. This was very helpful for acting.”
When Deng Chao was filming Mermaid, he said,"I've talked to Star Master about every scene, including how to shape the characters and how to write their biographies.”
From this, it could be seen that a character biography was very important for an actor to understand the character he was going to play. It could help the actor go deep into the heart of the character and experience the life of the character.
What kind of person was Lu Ziqiao?
In Han Mu's biography, he wrote:
Compared to his peers, Lu Ziqiao had no strong points. From an objective point of view, other than being handsome and eloquent, he was a complete loser.
As a foreigner, he came to Shanghai alone to work hard. It was obvious that he had a lot of drive and wanted to achieve something.
However, he did not have any professional expertise. He could only struggle to survive in Shanghai. When he really did not have money, he even had to donate his sperm. It was really a little miserable.
On the other hand, he was very confident in his looks and ability to pick up girls. In fact, he was indeed good at this.
In the bar, he was a natural prince, unrestrained and wandering around.
Although his mouth was full of nonsense, he was able to make many beautiful girls willingly be deceived by him.
Just like that, the number of words in the character biography increased, and Han Mu's understanding of Lu Ziqiao's character deepened.
When the crew started filming, his biography of Lu Ziqiao had already written 60,000 words. He had thoroughly analyzed Lu Ziqiao from all aspects.
Actors might look glamorous on the surface, but they earned a lot of money.
However, those actors who were truly recognized by the public had spent a lot of effort in private that many people could not imagine.
Han Mu had set a goal for himself-not only to enter the entertainment industry, but to take root in this industry and grow into a towering tree!
