Section 13: Methodology
A group of people gathered around and coaxed her for a long time, and finally comforted her child Yang Yilin. The director and producer here had already gathered on the monitor to study Du An's audition performance.
Shu Yu looked carefully for a while and asked Duan: "What do you think?"
“It’s pretty good.”
Duane said so.
He said this not for the two thousand yuan reward, but because he really felt that he was acting well and achieved the effect he wanted to see. He even felt that he was much better than Zhang Jiayi and Zhu Yuchen's so-called professional actors. However, he was always not objective enough to evaluate himself, so he asked the professional actors standing next to him.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Jiayi said: "It's very good." This man in his thirties in his northwest was not good at speaking, and this was the best he could give.
Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuchen both nodded in agreement, but did not speak - they really didn't feel like talking now.
Shu Yu finally made the decision.
"Okay, that's it."
So the director Duan became even more busy. He went to put on makeup, changed his clothes, and quickly adapted to his new job, for fear that Shu Yu would suddenly regret it and not allow him to get this extra salary.
Shu Yu re-assisted as the deputy director, and the crew quickly started to operate.
Although Yang Yilin was comforted and persuaded for a long time, Duan's perverted image had left a shadow in her heart. So although she could try to suppress herself from running away during the filming, Duan's fear was still inevitable as soon as Duan performed, she was crying and making a fuss, which surprised Duan. He had always been worried that the young actor would not be able to show such intense emotions well and planned to try to give her as little shots as possible. Unexpectedly, he backfired and did a good thing.
However, he decided to give more shots to Zhu Qian instead of Yang Yilin.
It’s not because the young actor’s emotional performance is not in place now, but because Zhu Qian’s performance is so satisfying to him!
This actress with a slightly bigger mouth may not be considered a beauty in general aesthetics, but her acting skills are really great! It is three-dimensional and vivid, and handles small details very well, which makes the whole character come alive, such as the scene just now: In the scene, Du An had just kidnapped Zhu Qian and Yang Yilin, tied them back to the end of the bed, intending to molest the mother and daughter.
Du An asked the two to show fear and despair. Yang Yilin's child was still crying because of the psychological shadow, which was quite qualified. Zhu Qian used a combination of violent struggle, screaming and constant breathing to show it. It looked particularly three-dimensional, rhythmic, and real and credible, especially her eyes. When Du An reached out to Yang Yilin, her eyes were firmly staring at the hand, and the focus of her eyes was also moving as the hand moved, and the body struggled.
It became more and more intense, and even became crazy, moving hard towards Yang Yilin, trying to block this "daughter", and her mouth was strangled and kept making vague roars like "let go of her"; and when Duan moved his hand away from Yang Yilin and stretched towards her, although she was still struggling and did not want to be touched by this disgusting guy, her eyes were no longer so focused, and her emotions were obviously relaxed, and she grasped very well, perfectly showing a mother's true mentality.
“Perfect, perfect!”
After Shu Yu shouted "after", Du An repeatedly praised - this was the first time he re-activated the word on the set since that rainy night.
Zhu Qian ignored him, but closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. The expression on her face gradually relaxed. Then she opened her eyes and grinned carelessly, saying, "Director Du, you act better. I'm really not flattering you. If it weren't for your stimulation just now, I might not have done that way." Speaking of this, Zhu Qian raised her own question, "Director Du, don't adjust your emotions and get out of the show?"
"ah?"
Du An was stunned. He was not professional and couldn't understand what Zhu Qian was talking about.
Zhu Qian explained: "Take me as an example. The scene just now was going to be performed like that. I needed to throw myself into Yao Li to do it, otherwise it would be a bad thing. Ending is not about ending and ending. Do you not need to adjust your emotions?"
She could see clearly that Duan almost immediately escaped from the role when Shu Yugang shouted "She" - from such a deep performance state to a natural state, the transition from movement to stillness was too sudden, and she was a little stupid just now.
"unnecessary,"
Duan replied without thinking: "I just want to see what kind of performance and movements Wang Xingfa will perform in that environment, and then I will do it as soon as possible." He paused and said: "I call this the 'expressionist'."
In order to improve the problem that Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi's performances did not meet the standards, he thought about the performance methods in private for a while, and he really figured out something for him.
"Expressionist?"
Seeing Zhu Qian's puzzled expression, Du An smiled embarrassedly and continued, "What I have figured out by myself, simply put, is that I think performance can be divided into several ways. Like the method you mentioned just now, I call it the "experience school", which means treating yourself as this character, not thinking about how to perform, but moving according to your current real emotions. As for the performance school, it is what kind of performance the character needs, and we will give it what kind of performance we are doing, while maintaining a free state and not getting into the role. Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi are both doing this."
After he said this, Zhu Qian understood: Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi are really expressionists, but the performances of these two actors seem too formulaic to her, in other words, too fake. Just from the appearance, it is impossible to tell that Du An and them are using the same method.
Zhu Qian, who was first exposed to Duan's theory, thought this thing was quite fun, and she also began to try this method in the next scene, but the effect was really bad. Duan was not satisfied with filming three shots, so she had to say to her: "You should use your method to perform." At the same time, she felt regretful, why did she say this to Zhu Qian?
These things were originally thought out by him, an outsider, and he could not do it accurately at all. It would be really harmful to say them.
After using his own experiential method, Zhu Qian really returned to the state that satisfied Duan, so she felt that the things she was thinking about were unreliable. However, Zhu Qian was very interested in these things. She seized the gap between the crew's preparations and caught Duan and asked: "Director Du, what other faction besides the expression and experiential betting?"
"Well,"
Duan didn't expect that there were still people who were interested in what he was thinking about. However, since Zhu Qian asked, he had to answer: "There is another method school, how do you say it?" He thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "This method is between the expression school and the experience school. He does not perform with formulaic emotions like the expression school, but does not need to be substituted for the role, but uses similar emotions to replace the effects required in the play."
"For example, if this scene is filming your husband's death, you need to show the effect of sadness and pain, and use the method to interpret it, that is, think about some similar emotions, such as your cat dies, or an elder dies, or even the driver I beat this morning found you fifty dollars less, as long as it can show the effect of sadness and pain. Anyway, the audience only sees you sadness and pain, and they can't tell why you are so sad."
After saying this, Duane quickly added, "It's all things I've been thinking about myself. You tried it just now, it's useless, so just listen and forget it, don't do it like this."
Zhu Qian looked thoughtful, "I think it's quite interesting. I couldn't do it just now. I guess it's just a relationship I've just gotten into and not familiar with."
She vaguely felt that Duan opened a new world in front of her - if she could integrate the three methods Duan said, her acting skills might be improved to three, four, five or six levels.
Looking at Zhu Qian's serious thinking, Du An regretted even more why she said this: if she brought the actor with excellent acting skills in front of her because of her messy theory, she would be a crime.
I had to persuade him repeatedly to keep trying to keep Zhu Qian's performance style. I don't know if Zhu Qian listened.
We don’t know if Zhu Qian listened or not, but the guys next to her listened to it really.
Zhang Jiayi, who was watching, was thinking like Zhu Qian, with his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking; Zhang Yi next to him hummed and whispered to himself: "It's not easy!"
He had been in the army drama troupe before, but he had never heard similar remarks even in those places. I guess Duan was really talking nonsense. Especially for the performance method of the experiential school, it seemed to him that it was nonsense. If he really put himself in, he could act well, then not everyone could be an actor? Then what is the need for these professional actors to exist?
Zhu Yuchen didn't agree.
He graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, which is the most concentrated place for the cutting-edge talents in China's performance career, especially the teachers of the Performance Academy. In performance theory, they are the top of the pyramid, but they have never proposed the methods Duane said.
If performance could really be divided into these three factions, wouldn’t the teachers in the Performance Academy have already developed it?
Shu Yu paused for a moment and walked up again. He asked Du An to watch the scene just now. His thoughts about the liar in front of him being a director genius were completely confirmed - a person who graduated from the Department of Management of the Medical College, after reading a few days of book, he could summarize the performance routines and actually direct the actors' performance. What is this not a genius? Not to mention his many ideas about the camera scenes, even Chen Xin couldn't find any fault.
After returning to the monitor with Shu Yu and watching the scene just now, Du An frowned.
It’s not that he and Zhu Qian are not good at acting well, on the contrary, his performances with Zhu Qian look very good in his opinion, but the bad thing is the camera.
Like all previous dramas, they use simple forward and reverse strikes, which is what the saying goes, "A and B are shot after shooting the front and back," which is the advantage of this method is that because the shot is fixed and the scene is also very large, it doesn't matter if there are some minor flaws in the scheduling and performance of the actors, and they will not be noticed too much, but the disadvantage is that the shot is boring, and like TV series, it lacks the aura of the movie.
“Change the shooting method,”
Du An said to Chen Xin on the side, "Wait for a moment, the camera position changes. You stand at the position of the No. 2 machine, use a panoramic view, take all three of us in, use a zoom lens, focus my body first, don't shoot my head in; when I walk next to Zhu Qian, give the focus to Zhu Qian's face and pull the lens..." Maybe he really has the talent of a nerd. After reading the book for several days, he can move the terms out in a very sensible manner.
Because the acting skills of several leading actors made Du An unsatisfied, it was not impossible to use a camera language similar to what Du An wanted now, but it just took a few more shots, which was too costly. So before, they basically used the method of shooting with the positive and negative, which was a good way to play to the strengths and avoid weaknesses and save money. However, now the acting skills of himself and Zhu Qian made Du An feel that it is okay, so he simply abandoned that method and boldly adopted a more visual impact method to shoot.
These scenes are probably the happiest scenes that Duan has played the most. Imaginative ideas emerge one after another, and all kinds of lenses that I dare not use before have been used - a 360-degree subjective lens, a close-up of the pupil, a zoom in the same picture, a long lens that goes from bottom to top from close to far...
In order to meet our Director Du’s wild requirements, the photographer Chen Xin was exhausted.
He jumped up and down and ran around. He could make himself half tired after a scene, which was more tired than usual. He was sore and swollen when he carried the machine. Except for when he was young and ignorant after just graduated, when did he get so tired?
However, after being tired, Chen Xin did not complain, but his face became more and more energetic: in the past two years, he would either shoot commercials or film TV series that could not even be available on TV. The directors' requirements were very simple. Basically, he would have nothing to do with the position of a machine, so he would have forgotten that he was still a photographer.
Now he seems to have just come back to the passionate years.
So much so that after all the scenes between Zhu Qian and Du An were filmed, Chen Xin was still a little reluctant to leave.
Duane is the same - he is not reluctant to leave his scenes to end, he is not interested in acting at all - what he is reluctant to leave is that he will return to the boring shooting method next.
After a while, he really fell in love with "playing" movies.
"Where are you going next?"
Du An asked Zhu Qian in front of him.
Zhu Qian's scene has been completed and she is about to leave the group. She has changed into costumes and put on her own clothes.
A white shirt with a simple upper body, a slightly loose hem tied a knot around the waist, and a pair of cropped pants on the lower body, neat and neat.
Zhu Qian raised her hand freely and said, "I don't know, go to the union first to see if there are any crew recruiting people."
Duane is really reluctant to let go of the actress in front of him. He has never been so comfortable to shoot the movie until now - basically all of them are the same, and he can satisfy his various ideas in his performance without showing any timidity.
If possible, he really wanted to add a few more scenes to Zhu Qian, but he was just thinking about it. After all, Yao Li played by Zhu Qian is just a small supporting role, and adding more scenes will only destroy the overall tone of the movie.
"If I have the next drama, I will definitely find you to be the heroine."
Duane joked.
Of course, he also knew that he was just a joke: after filming this drama, he completely bid farewell to this circle. Where did the next drama come from?
Zhu Qian smiled when she heard this, "You are the only one who dares to let me be the heroine."
Du An was stunned and asked, "Why?"
In his opinion, Zhu Qian's acting skills are more than enough to support the heroine.
Zhu Qian pointed to her mouth, "It's because of this mouth."
In fact, in terms of facial features, Zhu Qian is also a beauty, but her mouth is a bit too big.
"Di Director Du, my salary for this drama is 2,500. If this mouth is smaller, it may be 5,000. With such a mouth, who dares to ask me to play the heroine? Then don't be scolded to death? So, I'm satisfied if I can play a supporting role."
Zhu Qian smiled and said this.
A flying and free and brilliant smile.
Duane couldn't understand this strange film and television industry at all: just because his mouth was a little bigger, he denied everything about a person? It was too ridiculous! But looking at Zhu Qian, Duane could only accept this fucking reality helplessly - this is an absurd circle.
"Actually, I think my mouth is a bit sexy,"
Duane regretted it as soon as he said: What fucking words are called? Is it a piercing scars or teasing people? I can't comfort people, and I deserve no girl in college willing to talk to me.
Fortunately, Zhu Qian didn't mind, just grinned, and finally waved her hand, "Goodbye, Director Du."
