Chapter 254: Am I a Director or Your Director?
"Uh......"
Clint looked at Naomi, who was playing against Leonardo, and thought that he had seen it wrong, but he rubbed his eyes to make sure that he had not admitted his mistake.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour after she left, Naomi's acting skills suddenly improved so much?
"Clint, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
David patted him on the shoulder.
Clint was also strange in his heart, seeing the two of them acting there, he returned to the back of the surveillance screen.
Everyone else also understands that they are busy and get out of the way.
The recording engineer set up the radio.
The photographer also understood, turned on the camera, and started shooting according to the camera trajectory that had been set before.
Soon, the shooting was over.
Clint nodded slightly, this time, much better than before.
However, Naomi still has some minor issues with her expressions that need to be optimized. Immediately begins: "Na ......"
Unexpectedly, Leonardo had already begun to give Naomi guidance: "This time, it's much better than before." However, Naomi, in terms of expression management, you still don't fit into the whole scope of 'through-action'. ”
"That's right...... Understood, thank you Leon......"
Naomi thought about it and nodded.
Immediately, the two of them began to rehearse again.
Clint looked confused.
Am I a director, or are you a director?
How do you feel that you, an actor, are more like a director than me, a director?
I'm not addicted to acting, but I even mentored others?
However, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, firstly, he did not have any temper in the face of Leonardo, and secondly, the current situation is indeed much better than before.
And there was no sound.
Here, the photographer looked at the director Clint and saw that he didn't react, so he hurriedly set up the camera again and began to shoot along.
So, then, there was a strange scene on the entire set.
Leonardo was over there talking to Naomi about the play, and he kept popping up with all kinds of acting terms that he had never heard before, and then played against her.
And here, behind the surveillance screen, director Clint sits there, at first, with a blank face.
However, listening to Leonardo's words to guide Naomi, the more I listened, the more wonderful the expression on my face became.
, little Leon can do this, he actually has such a deep insight and understanding in performance theory?
Why didn't you find out before?
Moreover, constantly listening, director Clint can gradually hear that Leonardo's guidance system is, in fact, a relatively complete theory of performance.
And, looking at Naomi's reactions and progress, it's definitely very effective!
It's amazing!
Clint himself is also a veteran actor, he acted in many plays when he was young, and when he got old, he changed his career to become a director.
He also has a lot of his own knowledge and understanding of acting.
And listening to what Leonardo said, it is natural to find a lot of things that are related to my own experience, understanding and figuring out.
Even, some theoretical summaries are clearer than my previous understanding, when I used to learn acting, what was taught in the most experienced acting classrooms in Hollywood!
It's a bit confusing!
Leonardo would never have been able to sum it up on his own.
So where did he learn these things, this set of acting theory?
Could it be that now in the Hollywood performance workshop, has the performance system been summed up?
How had he not heard of it before?
However, Clint didn't think much about this question.
Because, listening to Leonardo's explanation, he began to fall into thought.
He thought about how he had done to Naomi and to other actors, when he was lecturing or directing performances. And how did Leonardo bring this set of performance theories done?
Why doesn't what I say work?
And this set of theoretical actions is so effective?
It turns out that the meaning of this set of theories is to let the actors experience the state of the role themselves, carry out suggestive psychological construction from the psychological guidance, and then compare it to the real performance.
However, casual hints are useless.
It is necessary to use the "highest task" and "through the action" in this set of theories to experience and imply correctly.
The more Clint listened, the more he felt that this set of theories was awesome!
Very practical and very complete!
I don't know which Hollywood actor's workshop researched and summarized!
"Clint?"
Next to him, David had to raise his voice to make Clint react, who was lost in thought.
"David, what's the matter?"
Clint woke up abruptly and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
David was helpless and said: "Leon, they have already taken more than 20 films, I think it's very good." Take a look, can you move on to the next ...... We don't have much time!"
Clint nodded, glanced at Leonardo and Naomi standing over there, and said, "Don't look at it, this one is over! Leonardo, Naomi, good job!"
Hearing him say this, the crew members immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over!
This one has been dragging on for more than half a month.
Leonardo was naturally a little happy in his heart, and looked at Kate, the assistant over there, with a little pride.
I have been reading the book "Actor's Self-cultivation" crazy every day these days, and I am always criticized by Kate. said that he was not doing his job, and he was fascinated by the things written by the Orientals, and he was also absent-minded and did not do his business!
Now you know, right?
This book is very useful!
We still use it, which helps the crew a lot!
Even guided Naomi, who has made such a big progress!
Let's see if you have any reason not to let me read that book "Actor's Self-cultivation" again in the future!
Next to her, Naomi was also relieved when she heard the director's words, and while she had a relaxed expression on her face, she couldn't help but wet her eyes.
"Since you don't have enough time, let's keep shooting!"
Clint looked at David the producer next to him.
In this scene, Leonardo and Naomi have other scenes.
However, according to the schedule, it was filmed later.
David nodded, he was a producer, and he also wanted to think about this, and then looked at Leonardo: "Leon, are you okay?"
"Of course no problem!"
Leonardo smiled.
He can, but he is acting well, and he can still be a little teacher, not to mention how willing he is.
Leonardo has no problem, and in the crew, others naturally have no opinions.
Immediately, all departments moved and started the next jump shooting.
I was busy until midnight, and because of the conditions, I couldn't shoot anymore, so I stopped.
Everyone was tired, but everyone understood.
As long as the shooting goes well, everything is easy to say.
If the shooting doesn't go well, even if it will be even more difficult in the future!
Here, after filming, Clint didn't even go to check today's dailies with David, but pulled Leonardo to the side, eager to ask him where he learned that set of acting theory.
"The director, from a book. ”
Leonardo looked at him and smiled.
"Oh, which book?"
"A book written by an Oriental is called "The Self-cultivation of Actors". ”
"Written by an Oriental?"
Clint was stunned, a little incredulous, "Are you sure?"
"Of course! This book has already sold more than 300,000 copies in the capital of the East!"
While Leonardo is reading books these days, he also takes the time to pay attention to the situation of this book in the East.
I found out that this book was in the East and began to be uploaded on the Internet very early.
Now it is published, because of the identity of the author, and because it is really well written, so it has become a bestseller in the whole oriental country at once.
It has been released for more than a month and has sold more than 300,000 copies, and it is still a performance theory book, which is already very terrifying!
Leonardo was concerned with these, not others, but to see when the book would be published in English.
In this way, in the future, he will have the opportunity and conditions to recommend him to other actors and directors in the West.
I can't, if I see Spielberg or Pitt in the future, I will take that stack of printed A4 paper and recommend it!
"More than 300,000 copies were sold?"
Clint also knew the effect of this, and asked, "Is it a Chinese version?"
"Nope. However, I asked Kate to find someone to translate and print a copy. ”
"Leon, can you make a copy of it?"
Clint couldn't help but say.
He himself was curious about the book.
was able to make an actor like Leonardo, after watching it, have such a big change and guidance ability.
The real content and original theory in that book, I'm afraid it's really groundbreaking!
"You can't copy it, otherwise you may infringe on the rights and interests of the author!"
Leonardo said, "I can let you borrow it, though." And then after that, let's see if we can find the original author and ask him to authorize the English version!"
"That couldn't be better!"
Clint said with a smile.
......
In the West, "The Self-cultivation of Actors", which opened the door of propaganda from Leonardo and Clint, began to gradually spread in a small area of Hollywood, and when word of mouth began to spread among these mainstream actors and directors, the East, the song "Pure Land of Bliss", was completely popular on the Internet.
"This song is simply magical!"
"Dance is in the sky!"
"Did you hear that, this song has completely exploded in Japan! beat those anime theme songs and topped the otaku song list!"
"I heard that on an international ACG station, some netizens have begun to call for this song to be used as a station song, as a kind of representative music for the entire circle!"
"Hey, I can only say that Lin Bao is awesome! Not only can traditional opera be brilliant, but this kind of young, circle thing, can also do such a blockbuster!"
......
On the Internet, in addition to Lin Baohe's song, the five Yuan Koi who sang in Japanese and starred in the MV also completely exploded in this circle.
Previously, their costumes in "Rap Face" have made them famous on the Internet.
This time, with the spread of "Pure Land of Bliss", even in Japan, fans in all circles, including some institutions in the circle, have begun to pay attention to the girls from these five eastern countries.
And Lin Bao Studio, which runs them, once again brought out a popular singer group on the whole network.
Moreover, in the past, Xu Fan and Xiao Yutong occupied the domestic popular circle, but this time, they entered the ACG circle and still got the top results!
This time, even top companies and platforms like Remote Entertainment and Penguin Music are not wrong with Lin Bao and his studio's ability to create stars and hot spots.
One by one!
How can you fight this?
......
Penguin Music Artist Studio.
Li Yunrun turned off the news headlines on his mobile phone about "Pure Land of Bliss" and the five Yuan Koi, and then came to the company's empty practice room.
In fact, the last time he left Lin Bao's place, he had been thinking about what Lin Bao had given him.
Although now he has more and more activities under the company's arrangement, and his schedule is basically full every day, he himself also tries to find time for relevant thinking and contact.
According to Lin Bao, since he has already tried in drama, or falsetto, he might as well do more here, and now in the market, this aspect is actually relatively scarce.
Dai Qian has not been able to come up with another work, and the second work of "Five Little Flowers of Opera" is now directly transferred to the house style of "Pure Land of Bliss".
Other original singers began to try this aspect, but they have not been able to have the achievements and reputation of Dai Qian's "One Night in Beijing" before.
I maybe, perhaps, can really think about it from this aspect and make my own characteristics.
He took out an A4 piece of paper, on which was a printed sheet music for "Floating Clouds".
This song was written and composed by Xiang Tian, an old-timer in the industry.
The first draft of "One Night in Beijing" was also written by him.
However, later, "One Night in Beijing" passed through the hands of Lin Bao and integrated into the drama, and once it was born, it formed a wave of trends on the Internet.
When creating "Floating Clouds", Xiang Tian insisted on his consistent Chinese classical style, and at the same time, he also borrowed Lin Bao's techniques. And when Li Yunrun sang by himself, he also incorporated some opera flavors into his singing.
However, neither of them turned this song into dramatic music.
Li Yunrun himself has been pondering for the past few days, just thinking about whether he can change the entire song into a drama, or, just like "One Night in Beijing", the chorus part becomes a drama, which is not a change.
Immediately, he picked up the score, looked at the chorus part inside, and began to try to sing it in a dramatic tone.
Alone, he himself doesn't have much understanding of the drama, and he doesn't know how to do it, but this learning has become a real falsetto: "The clouds are scattered, the bright moon shines on people, and I am worried about cultivating a love debt in the world, in exchange for a lifetime of crazy ......"
Outside the recording room.
The music director of Penguin Music, Liang Bai happened to have something to do at night, came back to the company, passed by the recording studio, and heard someone inside using falsetto, singing the song "Floating Clouds Scattered", and his heart was also moved, and he was busy in the past.
Seeing that the person singing inside turned out to be Li Yunrun, he was also stunned.
"Teacher Liang!"
Li Yunrun also found Liang Bai standing outside, and he was busy standing up.
"You're ......"
"Mr. Liang, I'm trying to see if I can use a real drama to sing the chorus part of "Floating Clouds". However, I don't know much about drama myself, so when I sing, I sing falsetto......"
Li Yunrun said a little embarrassed.
"Are you looking for Lin Bao?"
Liang Bai looked at him.
Li Yunrun nodded.
"Well, it's not impossible to use common sense. ”
Liang Bai walked in and said, "Yourself, that falsetto just now is good, it's quite suitable for this song, you don't need to deliberately use drama." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the piano, knocked it twice, and said, "I'll help you change the chorus here, raise the key, and you can try again." ”
"Okay, Mr. Liang!"
Li Yunrun was overjoyed.
Immediately, the two of them were in the Penguin Music recording studio, starting to make up and sing one and practice until midnight.
