Chapter 106: Looking at your movements, it doesn't look like you haven't learned acting?
In this scene, it is estimated that it will only take a few minutes of play, drama, lighting, and props to stop for almost an hour and a half.
All personnel are in place.
βActionοΌβ
As the director's voice fell, the slender and handsome supporting actress in a silver trench coat kicked the church door open.
On the other side, a minion in a suit rushed out with a prop sword in his hand, shouting continuously.
Da!
With Weiya hanging on her body, she stepped on the springboard under her feet, and the supporting actress rose into the air, flicked her long legs, and directly kicked the two people who rushed over first.
Smack!
The two martial artists flipped their bodies backwards and smashed the tables and chairs designed behind them.
Someone continued to rush up, constantly being punched and kicked, and falling over, and the sword could not reach the supporting actress at all.
Fang Bo stood at the back of the church, waiting for Rao, the crew next to him.
In front, people kept shouting and rushing out, and the crackling sound of fighting in the church outside increased the tension in his heart even more.
In fact, the entire running position, each person's time point, and path, has already had some rehearsals before.
But when it comes to filming, there are a lot of accidents, especially scenes like this one.
So, every Rao state is tense.
During the dozens of seconds of waiting, many things flashed through Fang Bo's mind.
The most is the content of the book called "Actor's Self-cultivation" that I have been reading these nights.
The core theory of the performance system introduced in the book is to recognize the "highest task" of your role, and then "act in series", and make every move, every look, and state conform to the "highest task", so that you can perform the most realistic state.
Fang Bo didn't know if this theory could be applied to shots that were basically less than a second, or even those who might have been cut to no lenses in the end.
But no matter what, starting from a film and television story, as one of the characters, even if he just comes out to abuse the main characters, he also has his own role starting point and personal trajectory.
If you just rush out dancing and shouting, it's still a trick after all.
Some of the more experienced old group actors, even watching too much, seeing more, will know some standing and running skills, and strive to be able to appear more in the camera, and the director who can be played back has more opportunities to see it.
But Fang Bo doesn't have these experiences, and in such a key scene drama, a lot of drama is a crime. Therefore, what he can improve himself is to try to act like a minion character.
The performance and role that a minion should have.
In fact, during these few days, Fang Bo studied the things in the book at night, creating an environment in his own room, and feeling the state of the characters in the teaching scenes set in the book.
When he was on the set, he also stole the air, starting from what was said in the book, speculating on the performances of some characters in the dozens of scenes filmed recently. When I ran on the field, I deliberately wanted to imitate my own minion state.
Although he was groping by himself, he ran down more than a dozen times, and basically nothing happened. I don't know if I don't feel it well, or because I'm mixed in the group performance, I can't see anything.
But I haven't been criticized anyway, so I know that the direction of my study is not right, at least not wrong.
"Go!"
The crew next to him suddenly shouted.
Fang Bo suddenly woke up from his stunned mind.
More than ten seconds passed in a flash, and the people in front had already finished rushing.
Fang Bo clenched the drying knife in his hand and rushed out from behind with a click.
As soon as I turned the corner, I could see that there were many crew members standing against the wall behind the church, and the director was sitting behind the surveillance screen.
Several machines are constantly flying around the middle leaning on Wia, kicking down the supporting actress in the show, moving up and down to shoot.
He didn't have time to think about it, and rushed over with a knife in his hand according to the general direction of running.
On the way to this section, Fang Bo's mind kept reminding him that he was a minion thug, he should have such a state, what kind of posture, the expression on his face was indifferent, and he shouted in a low voice.
Da!
The supporting actress stepped on the pedal, flew up, kicked the knife in Fang Bo's hand, and kicked the other foot in the gap, stepping firmly on Fang Bo's chest.
Feeling the weight on his chest, Fang Bo's body staggered back a few steps, pouring out of the range of the camera.
Because the whole scene hadn't been filmed yet, he couldn't get up, so he lay on the ground, thinking about the situation just now.
First of all, this one rushed over and was kicked down, in less than five seconds, which was basically the same as the previous drama requirements, and there were no accidents.
This is the most basic.
At least the insurance doesn't go wrong.
And then there's the feeling of participating in the show just now.
Before he rushed, he kept thinking a lot in his head.
After rushing over, he completed a complete set of movements very smoothly, although it was not like those martial artists, who had a very beautiful turning and falling action, but at least it felt very smooth.
The whole Rao action state is still okay, in line with the "highest goal" of the characters in that book.
But that's about it.
is also a character who has no lines and can't even see his face, and he has no acting skills to evaluate. The exit of a minion is not smooth, and not many people will pay attention to it.
But at least for Fang Bolai, fluency is a progress that he can feel.
That's enough.
It is clear that he is working in the right direction.
......
After another minute or so, the director's "click" finally sounded.
All the group performers stood up, including the members of the crew, and everyone looked at the door.
Everyone stood silently, not daring to make any movement.
Even the supporting actress, who has not yet removed the coercive rope, is panting and standing next to her and dare not speak.
The bearded director sat behind the surveillance screen, staring blankly at the images passing on the screen.
In total, there were almost three minutes of filming, and by the end, it should be possible to cut a few seconds of footage. However, for the director, this entire three-minute scene still needs to ensure that there are no problems.
"Stop!"
In the church, which was so quiet that you could hear the needle dropping, the director's deep voice was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone's hearts are tight.
Questions?
"Go back a bit. β
The director's hand on his chin swung to the left, "Go back a little bit, okay, here it is!"
He looked at the flickering red dot on the screen, and in the unedited shot, the supporting actress hung Weiya, constantly kicking and flying the martial arts and dragon suits that flashed through the camera. The whole movement was smooth, but it was in this section that he suddenly keenly felt that something was different.
"It's still ...... there"
After five or six seconds, the director continued to play back the screen, looking at the segment carefully.
Finally, the problem was discovered.
It was on a group performer who rushed over and was kicked down.
It's not that he acted badly, but that his movements that basically flashed a few seconds on the screen were neither like those martial arts that were more standard and slightly exaggerated, nor like ordinary group performances, basically no action at all.
If you focus on the supporting actress in the center, you basically don't pay attention to the movements of the minions next to you.
But when the director focused on the body of this group performer, he found more and more that his movements were very real, and he performed a little bit of the state that a thug in the play should have.
Of course, although it can't be very good, compared with the other people next to it, it is still obvious that it can make a judgment.
This is somewhat surprising!
If it were normal, the director wouldn't have this mind.
But now it's the finale, basically this is over, and he is very relaxed in his heart, and then he clicks with his finger to the group performance on the screen: "This person, call over." β
The person next to him looked at the figure on the screen, and quickly recognized Fang Bo standing there:
"You, come here! The director called you! Yes, it's you! Hurry up!"
Fang Bo saw the crew over there pointing at him, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart. His first thought was, could it be that his actions just now were a little abnormal, affecting the whole picture.
He hurriedly walked over, his heart pounding vigorously.
At that moment, he thought of it, if he smashed it today, would he buy a cheap train ticket tomorrow and go home to catch the first day of the new year......
"Have you studied kung fu?"
The director looked at the group performances that came over.
Fang Bo shook his head, not daring to say more.
"Studied acting?"
The director asked again.
Fang Bo continued to shake his head.
"Looking at your movements, it doesn't look like you haven't learned acting?"
The director frowned a little.
Fang Bo hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Guide...... Director, I've read some acting books myself, and I've pondered it myself...... Something ......"
"Oh?"
The expression on the director's face stretched slightly, so it was like this, and then he said, "Interesting, I just watched it, the action state is not bad, continue to work hard." β
Hearing this, Fang Bo was a little confused.
Director: This is just now...... Praise him?
Not every director is a tyrant on the set, a cold-faced Yama, but generally speaking, in order to shape his absolute status on the field, directors rarely praise actors, let alone a group performance.
The people around the crew were also stunned.
The director's gaze swept over Fang Bo's face: "That's it...... Ugly zero. β
The assistant director next to him smiled at the right time and said, "I feel like I can act in a comedy." Director, when you remind me like this, I feel that if he passes the acting skills and acts in comedy, he will feel that way. β
The director also nodded, which would be a little cheerful, and said: "I remember that there is a comedy next year, remember, and contact him to audition when the time comes." β
In a word, don't be those group performers, even the people who are resident in the crew are all looking at Fang Bo with envy.
This is the director's own name!
Whether it works out or not, at least, it's an opportunity!
For a group performance, it is simply a great opportunity!
......
"The director, this scene ......"
The people in the crew next to him reacted and asked.
"It's over!"
The director smiled, "Now I announce, it's finished!"
Inside the church, there was a burst of cheers.
