Chapter 55 Complex character relationships
The roles Jiang Qi assigns to everyone are carefully considered.
The acting skills of Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can are somewhat difficult to describe, but they both have a great advantage, that is, they both have social awkwardness.
Playing a hawker doesn't require much skill, as long as you have the emotion to sell things.
Wang Erya plays her true character.
Huang Fugui appears in his true colors.
Liu Lan, with her superb acting skills, is not a problem for mere passers-by.
Old John, the special guest, does not require acting skills to watch passersby.
Own……
Jiang Qi originally wanted to give himself a passerby role. What impressed him most in the memory of "MasterChef Competition" was the spitting passerby brother. Among the people present, except for the contestants on the field, he was the most impressive one. He is the most eye-catching, and he is in the C position of a passerby.
But someone needs to play the role of the servant. Jiang Qi has thought about it. Playing the role of the servant can also gossip with the onlookers without conflict.
As for other townspeople and additional servants, they will be played by other staff members.
To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale live-action scripted production with the nature of a reality show, but the venue is a bit small and there are too many guests.
Since the workload on Xiao Zhao's side was already very heavy, they compiled Jiang Qi's lyrics themselves so they wouldn't bother others.
As the main NPC, except for Old John, everyone has a character.
Jiang Qi repeated everything he had seen in his memory and what the passersby said.
The 30 script characters were not written in the book, but Jiang Qi heard about their identities and backgrounds in his memory, the magical legend of the God of Cooking over the years, and what happened outside the competition, such as nearby residents renting benches, and the stories of several different contestants. Supporters make a lot of noise about their idols and so on.
Jiang Qi told him everything he remembered.
Huang Fugui was responsible for giving additional explanations after Jiang Qi finished speaking, such as the interpersonal relationships in the town, a little gossip about the townspeople, the county boss being henpecked, and the head catcher who was the nephew of the county boss who worked as a head catcher through the back door. In fact, his martial arts skills were poor. to death or something like that.
Liu Lan and others were dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, Brother Jiang Qi, Uncle Huang, how did you do it? Why do I feel like you didn't make this up? It seems like there really is such a Taiping Town, and you just told the information about the town. . The amount of information is too great, and the personnel situation is too complicated. Do we have to write it all down?" Jiang Wanwan realized for the first time that making money is not easy.
Qin Can became confused after hearing half of it, and could not sort out the relationship between the characters at all: "Aunt Wang's chicken was stolen by her nephew, but Aunt Wang thought it was stolen by her neighbor Aunt Chen. There is a grudge between the two of them. What grudge is that?"
Huang Fugui was stunned: "Didn't I tell you? Aunt Wang and her husband-in-law almost got engaged to Aunt Chen back then. Aunt Chen is her husband-in-law's distant cousin. The two of them have always disliked each other."
"Why didn't it work out in the end?" Qin Can and Jiang Wanwan said in unison.
"How do I know this?" Huang Fugui said that he really didn't know.
Jiang Wanwan was anxious: "Uncle Huang, you have made up the relationship between the characters so carefully, why don't you make it up a little more."
"Okay." Jiang Qi didn't expect Jiang Wanwan to be addicted to gossip, "Do you remember how detailed it is?"
"Okay." Jiang Wanwan pulled Qin Can to continue sorting out the relationships between the characters.
As an important NPC who got the melon-eating passerby, Liu Lan was a little overwhelmed after hearing all the character relationships and gossip. He wrote and drew the character relationship diagram on paper for a long time and finally realized that he had made a mistake.
"This is too difficult." Liu Lan crumpled the waste pictures and threw them into the trash can. "How about I remember what Jiang Qi said? What Jiang Qi said was the gossip about the players and the background of the town. Easier to remember."
"As long as you remember what I said." Jiang Qi nodded. In fact, Huang Fugui just talked briefly and didn't say anything more detailed.
The preparation time this time is really too short. There will be rehearsal tomorrow and team building the day after tomorrow. If Fang Jing can give Jiang Qi enough time and enough people, Jiang Qi can let Huang Fugui sort out the Taiping Town in his memory and create a truly immersive live-action scripted killing.
Each NPC has a complete personality.
"What about Qinghe?" Huang Fugui was a little worried about Wang Erya.
"Her task is very simple. She just needs to highlight that Huang Yuanwai is a well-known good person from all over the country. All the characters in the story use the original ones, and only need to be changed to the fact that she was sold into the Huang Mansion by her parents and lived a good life. I don’t know much about what’s going on in the town.”
"Of course, you can also add a little easter egg. For example, tell everyone that Huang Yuanwai cooks vegetable noodles for lunch every day. The young master and young master in the family especially like to eat it."
Jiang Qi knew that Wang Erya couldn't play a character that was too far removed from her character prototype, so he simply let her be herself.
"The original character, did Uncle Huang just talk about the character of the maid in the house?" Liu Lan was confused.
Just when Jiang Qi was about to open his mouth to fool him, Old John silently handed Liu Lan four pieces of paper filled with characters' relationships. The second piece even had a simple and easy-to-understand diagram on it.
A total of 58 named or unnamed people who just appeared in Jiang Qi and Huang Fugui's mouths are all on these four pieces of paper.
It was so clear and unobstructed that Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can were amazed.
"Let me tell you, it turns out that I remembered it wrong. This Zhao Manzhu turned out to be Capt. Li's cousin. I thought he had an affair with Capt. Li and went to his house to eat every day." Qin Can quickly took out his mobile phone to take pictures. , "Teacher John, you are so amazing. You actually figured out such a complicated relationship so quickly."
"It will be easy to handle now. There is such a clear character relationship diagram. I will memorize it when I go home today. I will definitely be fine when I sell chestnuts tomorrow."
Qin Can stared at the chart for a long time: "I think my character should be this Tofu Xishi. On the day of the competition, everyone came to watch the competition and no one bought tofu, so I temporarily changed my business to selling fried chestnuts."
"This persona suits me very well, a beautiful vase. I don't do well in making tofu, but because of my good looks, many people come to my house to buy tofu every day, and I have many suitors."
It is obvious that Qin Can, like Liu Lan, has a wrong understanding of his position.
Jiang Wanwan is also looking for a character that suits her: "I think the role of the grocery store proprietress is particularly suitable for me. She is shrewd, stingy, and good at speculation. Taking advantage of the crowded competition, seizing the time to sell some tea is very suitable for the character. Brother Jiang Qi said I can also do the business of renting out benches. Isn’t this grocery store near Wei Xian Lou?”
"If Wanwan were the proprietress of the grocery store, we would still have a feud. You always think that I seduced your husband, so we can still quarrel!" Qin Can became even more excited.
"Okay, Lan Lan, I think you can be the matchmaker. This matchmaker is the most gossipy person in the town. She knows everyone's gossip, and you don't have a good relationship with either of us. Then the three of us can be together quarrel!"
"So good! This matchmaker..." Liu Lan hurriedly looked at the matchmaker's information to see if there was a description of the matchmaker's appearance. When he found that there was no description, he quickly asked, "Uncle Huang, is this matchmaker Wang good-looking?"
Huang Fugui:......
Jiang Qi:......
Aren’t we staff?
Why do I think you will have more fun than the players?
