Chapter 174: Teacher Zhang Cheng, I think there is something wrong with your dialogue
It's not a very big room, with two desks on the opposite side and a few people sitting.
Fang Bo looked over, except for the assistant director Zhang Cheng, there was a young man sitting in the middle with a somewhat wide forehead, a thick gold necklace faintly revealing from his neck, and a very kind face, looking down at things.
Seeing him, Fang Bo's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Gu Hao.
Don't look at him young, less than 30 years old, but he is currently a very potential commercial film director in China.
has had two or three successful commercial films, and even won film awards, and now, even some first-line actors are willing to want to participate in his films.
And now, I'm going to audition in front of him!
After being stunned for two seconds, Gu Hao hurriedly swallowed his saliva, stepped on two steps, stood firm, and bowed to a few people in front of him: "Hello teachers!"
Hearing his voice, Gu Hao raised his head, as if remembering the previous scene in Hengdian: "Is it you?"
"Teacher Gu Hao, it's me, my name is Fang Bo, the former teacher Zhang Cheng called and asked me to come over...... Audition!"
Fang Bo was busy.
"Okay, you sit down first, sit down and talk, don't be nervous. ”
Gu Hao smiled and looked down at the content on the form he had just filled out, "How are you feeling in Hengdian recently?"
"Also...... Ok......"
Fang Bo didn't know how to answer this question, and his mind turned, and he said the truth, "With your praise last time, Teacher Gu Hao, it's been ...... recently There are a lot of live performances, and each time I can earn twenty or thirty more than before! On a good day, I can earn a hundred more!"
Because of his nervousness, although Fang Bo tried his best to maintain Mandarin, his voice still couldn't help but mix some dialects, and he could hear Gu Hao and a few people in front of him.
"Didn't go back for the Chinese New Year?"
Gu Hao asked again.
"Not yet, I originally wanted to wait, May Day, and then go back. ”
Fang Bo told the truth.
"Okay, then you come on today, after that, you can go home and rest on May Day!"
Gu Hao said with a smile.
"Good teacher. ”
Fang Bo nodded busily, and then picked up the manuscript in his hand.
This part of the scene that requires an audition is not long, roughly about the subway, Fang Bo opened a can of Coke, and suddenly found that it was written on the lid that he had won the grand prize.
It's such a simple paragraph, but it is specially marked below, to play more rustic, it is best to add more jokes.
As soon as he got this line and scene, Fang Bo simulated the entire scene in his mind.
This is also the method and process introduced in the book "Actor's Self-cultivation".
Fang Bo has been in Hengdian for so many years, and he has seen a lot of lines and plays performed by others, but he has no daily experience of acting on the stage at all. It's not like those high-achieving students who come to audition from colleges and universities, and have experience in classroom learning and simulation.
The only thing he was able to grasp was the whole set of "experiential" performance methods introduced so far in that book.
Grasp the highest task of the character, and then every action must run through this main quest.
For this core of the performance, Fang Bo has been pondering for a long time.
I also tried to analyze many scenes in the play, including the scenes of old dramas with explosive acting skills, as well as some very embarrassing scenes, and then tried to simulate the situation at that time, if it was me at the time, how I should act.
This scene is a very simple scene, opening a coke and winning the lottery, I should have been casual at first, and then suddenly found out that I won the lottery and was ecstatic.
But the latter ones need to be rustic, and then add jokes.
Fang Bo thought about it, according to the role positioning, it could be a more rustic and somewhat silly youth, and then from the details of the entire action, add jokes.
When these flashed in his mind, someone had already moved another chair and put it next to him, while Zhang Cheng on the opposite side stood up: "Fang Bo, come, I'll play with you." ”
Fang Bo was taken aback, he didn't expect the assistant director to go into battle in person to play with him, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang Cheng......"
Auditions begin.
Zhang Cheng sat directly next to Fang Bo and was a passerby.
Fang Bo thought for a moment and stood up.
Just when Zhang Cheng didn't understand, he simulated pulling the handle on it with one hand, and then shook to sit down. However, when I sat down, I squeezed Zhang Cheng next to me, and it seemed that the space was not enough.
Zhang Cheng also reacted, moved his butt slightly to the side, and glanced at him impatiently.
After Fang Bo sat down, he looked at the next seat on both sides, then shook his head, and shook his hair thinking he was very handsome.
Originally, this was a very natural action, but Fang Bo did it very exaggeratedly, and in fact, his own hair was very dry, and it didn't shake at all. Gu Hao, who was watching his performance on the other side, couldn't help but smile recently.
This action was added by Fang Bo himself, probably positioning himself as a rustic but fashionable young man.
Fang Bo, who was sitting down, seemed to feel a little thirsty, and took out a can of Coke from his pocket, but there was no Coke on the scene, it was actually a bottle of mineral water.
As soon as his hand broke the cap of the Coke bottle, it seemed to splash out all at once, and Zhang Cheng next to him also reacted, and hurriedly dodged to the side: "Where to splash, look at it!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'll wipe it for you......" Fang Bo was busy, and he had to wipe him.
Zhang Cheng glanced at him with disgust, dodged, and sat down again.
Fang Bo sat there, took a sip of Coke, grinned, and then looked at the bottle cap in his hand, and suddenly found that there were words on it.
He frowned, as if he didn't recognize this word, then looked at Zhang Cheng next to him, hesitated, leaned over, and said, "That, master, look, what is written on this?"
Zhang Cheng leaned over to take a look, raised his eyebrows, and patted him on the shoulder: "Yo, brother, I won!
"Won?"
Fang Bo was stunned at first, and then his face was overjoyed, looking at the lid, he hurriedly took it, and squeezed it tightly in his hand.
At this point, the scene is over.
However, Zhang Cheng next to him suddenly rolled his eyes and continued: "That brother, I see that this award is written on it, it is to go to Beijing to receive it, have you ever been to Beijing?"
This is a temporary addition.
Fang Bo was a little stunned, looked at Zhang Cheng who was looking at him, paused, and said, "Go to Beijing, ah, so far, have I been there......"
"Haven't you been? So, I have 5,000 here, I'll give it to you, and then you give me this award, how about it?"
"Ah, five thousand, that's too little zero, right?"
"Five thousand is less, a lot, brother! This is going to Beijing, if you don't feel troublesome, you can go by yourself." ”
Fang Bo thought about it there and put the bottle cap into his pocket: "Then I'll go and get it myself......
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and applauded.
Gu Hao on the opposite side also slapped twice.
To be honest, the performance in this section was completely unexpected by him.
As for Fang Bo's situation, they also know that they have always played tricks, and they have never really acted in any clips. But his previous performance in the church made Gu Hao feel that he had a bit of acting talent, coupled with his appearance, it was more in line with the image of a stupid character he wanted to find in this play, so he asked him to come over and audition.
The fragment of the whole play is taken from the script, and it is simplified.
Because considering that he doesn't have much acting experience, it is estimated that he can't show something deep.
But in this paragraph just now, this simple daily clip, Fang Bo played really well.
The few self-added actions in the middle are earthy and silly, and they perform funny elements.
Moreover, maybe during the whole acting, he was nervous in his heart, and he didn't realize that he had been unconsciously mixing his Mandarin with dialects.
In this way, the effect is even more enhanced.
In the end, Zhang Cheng deliberately added a scene, and Fang Bo received it well, and there was no collapse scene.
On the whole, Gu Hao is satisfied in his own heart.
"Thank you, teacher, thank you Teacher Zhang Cheng, thank you Teacher Gu Hao!"
Fang Bo was stunned for a moment before realizing that the audition was over, and he was busy getting up and bowing to everyone.
"Not bad, not bad. ”
Gu Hao smiled and looked at Fang Bo, "What do you think of yourself, is it cool to act?"
"It's okay......"
Fang Bo scratched his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It's just a little strange, I feel that the dialogue of Teacher Zhang Cheng's character is not very ...... Reasonable ......"
"Unreasonable?"
When the other people in the room saw him suddenly say this, they were all stunned and didn't react.
Gu Hao was the first to be happy.
Yo he, you are, can't you enjoy acting, and you have to start finding other faults?
The face of the beautiful woman standing next to him who led him in changed, and she was busy winking at him.
You auditioned, why did you still find fault with the assistant director?
They are experienced directors, how to act, have their own ideas and ideas, and can give you a role, which is a preferential treatment for you.
You are a newcomer, this is the first time to perform, you follow the study and experience, why are you still applauded and performed, and you want to find fault with others?
Zhang Cheng's face didn't have much expression, and he smiled slightly and said, "Do you think there is a problem with the dialogue of my performance just now?"
"No, it's not ......"
Fang Bo also realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and he hurriedly explained, "I'm not Teacher Zhang Cheng, there is a problem with your performance, but I think that there are some problems with the dialogue in the script here." Look here, generally speaking, when you hear someone next to you drinking Coke and winning the lottery, your first reaction should be disbelief, how can you suddenly take out 5,000 yuan to change it?"
The beautiful woman next to her listened and breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was.
I can't help but slander.
You, an actor, just act according to the script, and pick on the logical mistakes here. The script, that must be the director's own ideas, you are an actor, just act according to it, why bother so many times?
Zhang Cheng listened to Fang Bo's words, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Gu Hao opposite.
Gu Hao asked with interest: "Do you think there is a problem with the logic in the design of this dialogue?"
Fang Bo nodded: "It stands to reason that a road should also have its own purpose for action. In the face of such a scene, all his actions and thoughts should revolve around his own purpose, not to match the plot, so he suddenly thought of exchanging money with the other party. In particular, take money out of your own pocket. ”
Gu Hao was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Fang Bo to be able to analyze it like this.
To be honest, when writing a script, he usually analyzes the motivations of the characters, but he didn't expect that Fang Bo could also analyze it here, and he suddenly became more and more interested: "You continue." ”
"So, I think the motivation of this character is a little unreal......"
"Well, then what. ”
"Well, no more...... I think ...... That's it. ”
Square Wave Road.
He analyzes each character according to the method of character action in the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors".
Before the audition, after he skewered the actions of his character, he tried to analyze the passerby role, and found that some problems were too unreasonable, very much like the plot in the book, for the sake of the plot.
However, he can only analyze it here, and the rest, reading books by himself, does not study deeply, and does not know how to continue.
And hearing these in front of him, the crew members sitting behind the table opposite were all slightly surprised in their hearts.
In fact, this paragraph has other meanings in the plot of the movie, it is a play within a play, so there is some conflict when stepping on the dialogue design.
It's just that in this audition, Gu Hao and the others streamlined the connotation of this paragraph, but did not make further precise modifications to the dialogue.
This paragraph has been tried by others before, and no questions have been raised.
But Fang Bo, who had the least experience among all the people who auditioned, was able to see this problem at once, which made Gu Hao and the others a little surprised.
Seeing that the faces of the other Rao around him were a little wrong, Fang Bo hurriedly said, "Of course, it may be that the director has other designs here, I don't see it." Teacher Gu Hao, Teacher Zhang Cheng, don't be angry, I was blind just now, and I don't mean anything else......"
Gu Hao waved his hand: "I think you're good, at least you can have your own thinking, think about the actions of the role, you do better than many other actors." ”
Zhang Cheng also nodded.
"Thank you, teacher, my bad, let the teachers laugh. ”
Fang Bo was busy again.
"Okay then, that's it for now. ”
Gu Hao straightened up and clapped his hands.
"Okay, thank you, teacher, thank you. ”
Fang Bo hurriedly bowed to a few more people before he stepped back, about to go out.
"That's right, that ......"
Gu Hao, who was behind, suddenly said again, "Fang Bo, about the question of the dialogue you just had...... If you can make it to audition, when you get to the crew, I think, you'll understand! Keep up the good work!"
"Okay, teacher, thank you, teacher!"
Fang Bo hurriedly turned around and bowed again, and turned to go out.
"Hey, teacher, how was the audition?"
Out of the office, Lian Weijin, the young man with a Chinese character face standing outside, hurriedly came over.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Fang Bo wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve.
"Congratulations to the teacher!"
Lian Weijin smiled, "I don't know if you can add your contact information, teacher?"
"Huh, how to contact you, what a ......"
Fang Bo hurriedly took out his mobile phone, added his contact information, and without any further delay, he left in a hurry and took the elevator downstairs.
He was actually a little absent-minded.
The first time I auditioned, I felt that my performance could only be regarded as average, except for the temporary action, I didn't show too many laughs as a whole. In fact, he himself is really inexperienced at all, and the whole thing is completely according to what is said in the book "Actor's Self-cultivation".
But the most important thing now is that at the last moment, my brain was hot, and I actually found fault with the script of someone else's director?
Isn't this full of food?
Actually, just now he was in the spirit of being able to show more in front of the director, so he couldn't help but bring this thing out just now.
However, now that he thought about it, Fang Bo wanted to slap himself.
You are a group performer, and you make irresponsible comments in front of the director, and there is a problem with the script?
Moreover, looking at the last words of Mr. Gu Hao, it must be that there are other designs in the script, so there is such a dialogue.
Fang Bo, you're completely an axe, shame!
