Chapter 509: Observation (3)
"In the early stage, I let you look at the archives, let you read books and films, which is a kind of observation, directly into their lives, and a close look, which is also a kind of observation. Of course, it's not enough to just observe, there are some things that you need to do, and you have to learn to do them. For example, yesterday you went to fetch water and pull the stone mill. Feel that exertion, right? That's the experience. When you observe, you do it, and when the camera captures, these are not acted, but your muscle memory. Filming depends on intuition, but you also have to use your brain.
Do you know why you always had a feeling of being ungrounded when filming in the past? Obviously, you acted according to the script, and the acting was not bad. For example, in the script, you are designed to chat with someone else in the company, and there is only one scene outline. Some fools will stand upright, stand up straight, and then the camera will rotate 360 degrees, and you will talk to the other person, right? If you are sitting in a revolving chair while you are talking, with a mouse in one hand and a coffee in the other, is it better than if you are stupid and standing and talking?"
They don't come here to play, they don't come to relax, they come to experience life. Everything follows the script. What is not in the script, they have seen the archives before, and they will do what the educated youth in the countryside in that era should do.
Even if the script can't be written, even if it's just a shot, they have to learn to do it.
"If you say that you are an experiential, then you think of yourself as that person, not only in your mind, but also in your whole person, from the dress, the clothes, the behavior, the movements, everything must be close to that person's life. When the audience sees you, they will feel that you are the living character in the movie, natural, and there will be no feeling of drama at all. ”
Xia Siyu had a feeling of empowerment.
All the chick movies she made before were all chick movies, that is, the scenes of the modern urban Cinderella Mary Sue. This kind of play, as long as it is fresh and lovely, it can cry, laugh and make trouble, and it is not too pretentious, basically it is almost the same. The slightly more difficult one is "The Tempest". But she is still a dancing bar proprietor, which can be regarded as having something to do with her life, and with the guidance of Wang Ju, it is easy to substitute herself.
There is such a thing as acting, she is very similar now, there is nothing wrong with acting in a romance scene, but it is difficult to have depth. She used to feel as if she had gone up to the ceiling, trying to work hard but not knowing the direction. But Bo Yan has both theory and practice, he took her to break that layer of glass, and she suddenly seemed to be on a floor.
The gap between ordinary actors and actresses is in these details.
All the classes she skipped in college back then are now being picked up by Bo Yan. But now she is not the same as the one who slept in class back then. If she was on her own, maybe in three years, five years, or even longer, she could learn this. But Bo Yan's help made her instantly understand some of the subjects she was missing.
It is true that some actors have never even gone to college, but they are very talented, and they compete for themselves, and they quickly transition from box office poison to genius actors. But how many actors are there?
It's more that they don't even have talent, and they never work hard, trying to get by with a face.
However, Xia Siyu still had doubts: "Then why did you come with me alone? ”
Bo Yan smiled: "Because I want to be alone with you." ”
