Chapter 20 I'm Not Free

"The Tuner", a 13-minute plot, tells a suspense story.

For short films, what is concentrated must be the essence!

"Tunner" did this perfectly.

The male protagonist believes that his acting skills are flawless because he has not met anyone who really wants to challenge his acting skills before.

The dancing dancer may be an exposure maniac;

The waiter in the restaurant was not interested in whether the tuner was a blind man, because it had no conflict of interest with him;

The protagonist does take a lot of effort to learn how to be a blind man. His acting skills are more than enough to cope with previous roles, but it was not until the last day of his life that he encountered a real challenge...

The male protagonist is confident in his acting skills and then dies from his acting skills.

O'Henry's novel plot.

The so-called "Ou Henry-style plot" refers to the fact that short story masters often suddenly make unexpected changes in the psychological situation of the characters at the end of the article, or the protagonist's fate suddenly reverses, and unexpected results appear, both unexpected and reasonable.

The most typical one is "Maggie's Gift"...

This is the plot of "The Tuner".

Including the story he told his superiors: the Taj Mahal story...

Ajiman Banu is a Persian woman, beautiful, intelligent, versatile, and has been in the palace for 19 years.

Shah Jahan named her "Taj Mahal", which means "the crown of the palace", and she is loved by three thousand people. Unexpectedly, Taj died after giving birth to his 14th child. In order to commemorate his deceased wife, King Shah Jahan decided to build the most beautiful tomb in the world for his beautiful wife, and he found the most famous architect at that time.

The king asked the architect: "Are you married?"

"Yes, my king."

"Do you love her?"

"Yes, your majesty, she is all mine, and I love her more than anything else."

"Very good, then I will kill her. You will know how painful I am and build the most magnificent grave for my wife."

The emperor executed the architect's wife, who built the Taj Mahal.

The meaning of this story is...

Probably to delay the duration... Well, it should be explained the purpose of pretending to be blind: blind people can gain sympathy for others, let others relax their guard, and at the same time, they can see many unknown things.

But what does it have to do with the Taj Mahal?

...

The shooting location was in one room, with only two characters, Lu Yawen and Zeng Li.

Lu Yawen plays the piano, Zeng Li dances...

They were asked to walk the show twice and determine the area of ​​the performance.

The main photographer Fu Guangsheng put tape on the ground according to the actor's movement and made marks. This is a reminder for the actors, so as not to go outside the camera while acting.

Then, it was the director's speech. The two stood in front of the piano and listened to Zhang Junsheng analyzing the role's psychological state...

"The dancer you play should be an exposure maniac, so it's best not to take off naked,"

Zeng Li's face was a little bad, and Zhang Junsheng quickly changed his words: "It can be kept out of three o'clock, and our camera can be blurred..."

That's right, once an actress reveals her spot, especially in China, it will be a stain for life!

Looking at the film and television industry, let’s talk about mainland actresses. There are many who make passionate scenes, but only a few of them really show their spots.

On the one hand, there is censorship blocking it, and on the other hand, the subjective unwillingness of the actress is also an important reason.

Times are changing, and the market structure is changing.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the porn stars in Xiangjiang became a wholesale market, and in two thousand years, fewer and fewer than a few newcomers who sacrificed their lives to win the position!

Getting rid of it once will be a lifelong stain...

Even Goddess Tang has not been completely whitewashed. Many viewers’ computers have collected uncut versions, for no other reason, just to observe the high-end paperclip position and the two black grapes from time to time...

"That's fine!"

Zeng Li nodded...

"Okay, you two get out of the show, I'll take a look!"

The two actors were on the show, and at the same time, the lights began to be set off.

Lighting in movies is a very complicated process. It requires the brightness of the light meter and the color temperature of the light meter. Only when the various parameters of the light are accurate can the best picture be captured.

Let’s put it this way, lighting is the slowest among all departments and takes the most time. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 45 minutes to arrange a panoramic view and 15 minutes to arrange a close-up shot!

This shot needs to show the scene seen through the male protagonist, so it is best to have a slightly dim white light...

Zhang Junsheng watched Lu Yawen's performance several times and was very dissatisfied with it...

He acted too deliberately, and he didn't feel like pretending to be blind at all, or he couldn't grasp that scale...

Although the male protagonist is pretending to be blind, he believes in his acting skills. Lu Yawen's performance is too rough...

Not to mention enlarged close-ups, there are problems even now!

Lu Yawen was also very embarrassed. He was not blind, or he had never had much contact with blind people and didn't know how to deal with this situation!

Moreover, during class, the teacher said that performance has a relaxed and concentrated process.

If you don’t relax, you won’t be able to do things, and if you don’t concentrate, you will be difficult to release.

Each actor releases different points, some are in shape and some are in expression. For example, Director Chen focuses on the form, and each character walks differently.

Lu Yawen practices eyes, his eyes are very vivid. When performing dramas, he is used to letting his eyes get out of the play first...

Now let him play a fake blind man, he doesn't know how to play...

He is not Sun Honglei, so he can tell the director very proudly: I have five ways to act in this scene, and then the director will pick out the most effective one from it.

...

"Asian Wen, acting is not a deliberate imitation, that is the lowest stage!"

Zhang Junsheng patiently talks about opera. After all, he is the actor he chooses himself. No matter what, he has to support it to the end...

"On the first day of the performance class, the teacher should have said: Performance is to convey the meaning you want to express to the audience through your expressions, voices and limbs."

"But, I can't catch that point..."

Lu Yawen looked depressed...

"A blind man is not a dead man. His thoughts, his emotions, and his soul are still beating with vitality... In this way, we don't need to deliberately imitate, just treat yourself as a blind man!"

To put it bluntly, Lu Yawen's acting skills are not yet at the time to form a fixed acting skill, so he needs to mobilize all experience to play the blind, but what he thought in his heart was, "My role is playing the blind, so he can't play it too much...

Little do they know that even if he really plays a blind person, he is not very similar!

"Is this OK?"

"Try it!"

Lu Yawen thought for a few minutes, sat in front of the piano, ready to play, and then Zhang Junsheng's cell phone rang...

Damn it!

Such a good atmosphere!

Who is it?

I took out my cell phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number...

Hang up directly...

"Come on, let's go on the show again...Who is this horse-trapping? Are you sick?"

The phone rang again, and this time Zhang Junsheng connected. The opposite side first laughed loudly, and then said, "Is it Mr. Zhang? I am Huang Zhonglei..."

"I'm not available!"

Turn off the machine directly!
