Chapter 311 An enamel basin(1/2)
"The box office of this movie is probably not going to be successful."
Cheng Qingsong watched a movie with his junior sister, and the junior sister said she was very relieved because Cheng Qingsong was a guy who came out publicly, and her junior sister Bao Jingjing also had a more intimate relationship with Cheng Qingsong.
They both came to such a conclusion almost at the same time.
The film "Golden Age" may not be able to achieve success in the box office.
However, they both determined almost at the same time.
"Xiangyang's performance is OK."
"Wan Qian's performance is in place."
The man says male, the woman says female. Although the man is not a normal man, it is quite interesting.
Why do you say so?
Both of them are considered critics of a certain level and have seen too many movies.
Just talking about performance, it is actually difficult to define at some times.
For example, in terms of drama, then, the expressions are more exaggerated and comedic, which is very suitable for the stage.
As for movies, because they need to increase the sense of substitution, they should try to be simple and unpretentious, and minimize exaggerated expressions and actions. This is a general situation.
Of course, there are also those that are just to be exaggerated, or even just to be comic-style performances.
For example, almost all Japanese film and television dramas focus on exaggerated comic-style performances.
Of course, it is not completely unnormal, relatively less, but in some areas, they still strive to be real, such as some teachers' love action movies, the more realistic the better.
But after all, even in Japan, there are many reasons. On the one hand, people in this country really like comics too much.
On the other hand, it has something to do with Akira Kurosawa.
In Kurosawa's movies, the comic-style performances are actually hidden deeper, but in his movies, the face of the characters is very, very obvious.
Most Japanese film and television directors like to learn from him, so Facebook-like characters are emerging one after another, which of course requires more exaggerated performance.
Comic style is an exaggeration.
And this "Golden Age" is indeed a movie, and it is not Japanese, but a domestic movie from our China.
His narrative methods give people a feeling that it is difficult to act.
Because when a character comes out, he has to talk about a story about the naan.
It is obvious that it is facing the camera, that is, "looking at the audience", telling stories to the audience.
This is very similar to breaking the dimensional wall, but it is not like it.
Because this narrative is just telling a story, not communicating with the audience.
So, is this movie an art film with the characteristics of a stage play?
Or put a stage play on the big screen?
So, those who know how to behave can think of whether the actors here should interpret the role with exaggerated comic-style performances or simple performances?
You know, this tests the actor's skills very much.
Because, I was talking to the audience the previous second, and the next second I was about to enter the play and play the role.
This is completely different.
As far as Chen Qingsong and Bao Jingjing are concerned, many actors in this movie have a problem.
Not so smooth.
Well, the most tangled thing among them is Lao Bai.
Bai Zhantang, he had nothing wrong with his acting, but when he saw him appearing, he thought of Sunflower acupointing hand, rather than a left-wing writer.
Xiangyang and Wan Qian, the two of them, gave the audience the most harmonious and unified feeling.
Even if you say nothing to the audience, you will still feel that he is the character in the movie.
Tone, expression, movement, and even more details.
Especially Wan Qian's Xiao Hong.
She made a small summary of her life at the beginning, and then became a big girl in the Northeast.
This transition was smooth and did not let the characters break.
And Xiangyang's Xiao Jun, his performance... is not pretending.
Xiao Jun and Xiao Hong discussed the issue like this when they first met.
"What do you think of the philosophy of love?"
"If you don't have any opinion, love if you love, throw it away if you don't love."
"What if I can't get it away?"
"I recently fell in love with a girl downstairs. When she gave me a smile, I felt that there was no threat."
Just this is true, it sounds very free and easy. Of course, some people may also think it is a bit scumbag.
But Xiao Jun said it very calmly.
Well, it's just like a very ordinary thing.
And afterwards, there was a very small detail that also reflected that Xiao Jun was such a person who did what he said.
The two of them were leaving the Northeast, and Xiao Jun also went to see Cheng Juan and kissed her.
Run away.
What is this?
When you leave, you naturally have to move. The place you want to go is far away. Moving is equivalent to throwing away the things you don’t want.
There is an enamel basin, which is the first thing that two people bought after they arrived at their new residence.
On weekdays, I use this basin to drink water and wash my face.
Well, it’s been like this these days. In the era of material poverty, it’s clean. I also used the poor family to use toilets to wash them and then wash them... In the old society, the whole family wore a pair of pants.
However, I couldn't ask for this thing anymore, so I had to sell it for money.
The old man who collected the junk was good, but he was about to leave.
Xiao Hong watched the enamel basin fall from the old man's car, and Xiao Jun didn't care at all.
This is just a small detail, but it also shows a lot.
Xiao Jun is the kind, if you don’t love him, throw him away.
Enamel basins used to be heroes and did everything.
But it is no longer necessary, so I won't take a look at it.
This is true even for Cheng Juan.
Xiao Hong is different. She is more sensitive and cares more about the things she used to do.
It was like the first time they met and talked about.
Xiao Hong didn't want to put it down even more, even this enamel basin.
In this scene, Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun had a small dispute.
Xiao Jun pulled her and left quickly.
Xiao Hong was quite reluctant to leave.
Xiangyang and Wan Qian didn't say a word, but all the movements, expressions and details were already thousands of words.
It's like saying it.
“Those things are not needed.”
"But that basin fell off the broken car."
"It just falls down."
"We've been using that basin!"
"Buy a new one in the future."
"I still want that."
"The enamel on it has fallen off. Are you afraid of drinking it into your stomach when you drink water?"
"Not afraid!"
"I'm confused, let's go."
"Don't leave!"
"If you don't leave, I'll leave."
"You...ah."
