Chapter 293: Yu Chenghao's state
In the following time, despite all kinds of heat and comments from the outside world, Lin Bao has always stayed in the crew, and with the crew members and various actors, he put all his thoughts on filming.
Because of Lin Bao's control, coupled with the up and down of the crew, both technically and internally, they are relatively homogeneous, and everyone can see that this is a very meaningful movie.
Although it may not be the kind of commercial blockbuster, the connotation, some feelings, and even the things that Lin Bao, as a director and screenwriter, wants to dig into about the inheritance of opera, the changes in the world, and human thinking, etc., can be seen from the shooting scenes on the scene.
Everyone is also riveting, whether it is props, costumes, recordings, lighting, each team is doing their best to ensure perfection.
To a certain extent, this also speeds up the progress of shooting.
Although Lin Bao decided to shoot sequentially the next day.
But nearly half of the filming content went down, and it was only ten days slower than the original plan.
And this slow ten days, most of the time, is wasted constantly shifting scenes with the plot. Even between Jincheng and Shangjing, I traveled several times in a row.
In the first half, the most important scene is still the scene of "It's a lifetime, a year, a month, an hour, it's not a lifetime".
This scene, Yu Chenghao practiced countless times before filming.
After the start of filming, it was officially filmed twice. Then I changed the way I shot the progress, and now, I'm shooting here again.
To everyone's surprise, this time Yu Chenghao's performance state has leapt a lot higher than before.
The first outburst of language and emotion in front of the camera instantly silenced everyone at the scene.
The first one directly has already made Lin Bao feel satisfied, and he has kept another one, and directly started the next scene.
Everyone didn't expect that this important scene would be like filming an excessive clip.
Before the start of filming, everyone was still cheering.
The makeup of the scene, including the atmosphere of the scene, and the lighting are all completely in accordance with Lin Bao's requirements, and he dare not be bad in the slightest.
Even ready for multiple shoots.
But I didn't expect it to be so simple.
This is something that no one expected.
Lin Bao was also a little surprised.
In fact, the performance of my senior has been very good recently.
Even, as the plot progressed little by little, Yu Chenghao's performance made Lin Bao feel more and more that he was in line with the image of Cheng Dieyi in his heart.
He even completely entered the state of that role, as long as he stood in front of the camera, he instantly incarnated Cheng Dieyi. is completely Cheng Dieyi in that play, and Yu Ji in the play.
"Qi Niangniang, Gao Lishi toasts!"
On stage, an old Peking Opera actor in costume was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a wine glass in his hand.
In front of the table, Yang Guifei, played by Yu Chenghao, held a folding fan in her hand and danced gently: "Gao Lishi, what kind of wine are you toasting?"
The old actor kneeling in front of him looked at Yu Chenghao's appearance and movements, paused slightly, and then said: "The slave and maid are saluting all night wine!"
Background music suddenly sounded.
"Yang Guifei" sat there, slightly drunk, and sang: "Life is like a spring dream in the world~"
Next, it should be "Gao Lishi" who should say: "What about you, laugh at yourself!"
However, what made everyone a little strange was that the "Gao Lishi" who was kneeling there, looked at the "Yang Guifei" in front of him, and did not say such a line for a long time.
Lin Bao didn't shout to stop, and the others didn't dare to make a sound.
Yu Chenghao hesitated, but continued to sing: "Let's drink a few cups~"
At this time, "Gao Lishi" got up and toasted "Yang Guifei".
The filming on the set continued, and at a certain point, Lin Bao shouted a click, and everyone stopped.
"Teacher Jiao, slow down. ”
Here, as soon as the play ended, someone came over next to him and helped up the old opera actor who played "Gao Lishi".
Lin Bao also walked over from behind the monitor and asked with some concern, "Teacher Jiao, are you physically okay?"
The old opera actor looked at him, smiled and waved his hand: "I'm fine, my body is bones, I can still act in this little play." Well, I didn't delay you in this paragraph, did I? I didn't forget any words, did I?"
Lin Bao hesitated slightly, and said with a smile: "Very good." ”
The old opera actor looked at his expression and hurriedly asked, "Did you have a problem just now?" If Director Lin has a problem, you can just say it, but you can't delay your entire crew because of me!"
Lin Bao said with a smile: "Teacher Jiao, in fact, according to the script, when Yang Guifei sang that life is like a spring dream in the world, Gao Lishi followed up with a line......
"High ......"
The old opera actor was slightly stunned, but suddenly remembered, and slapped the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand, "Ah, guilty of sin, how can I forget this sentence! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's really that I watched Cheng Hao's performance just now, it's so good, I'm a little distracted! I'm so embarrassed, let's shoot it again! Director Lin! I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed!"
"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Jiao, then we'll do it again. ”
Lin Bao nodded.
Immediately, the scene was arranged, and the scene just now was smoothed again.
Next, it is a personal body action performance of Cheng Dieyi as "Yang Guifei".
The old opera actor who played Gao Lishi got off the stage, stood behind the monitoring screen with Lin Bao, and watched Yu Chenghao perform the whole action on stage, and couldn't help but sigh: "When Lao Liu told me before, I didn't believe it...... With such a level of performance, I'm afraid that an opera veteran with more than ten years of performance experience can't perform it!"
This old opera actor surnamed Jiao has always played a harlequin on stage, and he has also played hundreds of times in the section of "Drunken Concubine", and has seen many "Yang Guifei".
Even so, when I was acting on stage and in front of the camera just now, I was shocked by Yu Chenghao's stunning appearance for the first time.
In any case, he still couldn't believe that this was a non-professional actor who had never been exposed to opera three months ago.
"Yes, Senior Cheng Hao's performance, I didn't expect it!"
Lin Bao also smiled slightly, looked at Yu Chenghao, who was changing his clothes and preparing for the next shooting, and the expression on his face was slightly retracted.
Yu Sung-ho's performance was very into the groove.
This is something he didn't expect.
Originally, before the start of filming, he was always worried that Yu Chenghao would not be able to fully achieve the state he wanted, and then delay the filming progress.
However, after the official start of filming, especially when it came to his role, Yu Chenghao's performance became more and more in a state with the filming.
This state, although the whole shooting progress is getting smoother and smoother, and the speed is constantly accelerating.
However, Lin Bao began to worry that Yu Chenghao would fall into such a performance state, and even affect his normal life.
After filming, during a break on the set, several times, he saw Yu Chenghao there stunned.
When chatting with Yu Chenghao, he could also feel that even when the former was not filming, he could still see the shadow of "Cheng Dieyi" from his words and actions.
He really brought the feelings in the play to the real world.
This is also something that Lin Bao has been thinking about and worrying about during this time.
The performance of his seniors was brought into the door step by step.
He was more interested in expressionism, so Lin Bao taught all his theories and experiences of expressionism to Yu Chenghao as much as possible during this time.
Expressionism, on the other hand, is not the same as experientialism.
It will not affect the actor's personality and real life status because of the portrayal of the characters in the play.
Because expressionism is to "copy" such a character through external actions, including expressions, props, etc.
The relative experiential school is to truly substitute oneself into the character, think about what the character thinks, and experience the character's situation and emotions.
The latter is experiential, so it is easier for the character to influence people.
And Yu Chenghao's current state, in fact, is a trend of shifting from performanceism to experience.
This was something Lin Bao hadn't expected before.
If you simply learn expressionism, and then use expressionist methods to play a character, Lin Bao is sure that such a problem will not occur.
Now Yu Chenghao is moving to the experience faction, it is very likely that it is because of the role of "Cheng Dieyi" itself.
In the past few months, whether it is Lin Bao conveying some of the emotional states of the characters to Yu Chenghao, or the latter himself studying the biography of the characters there, he has been constantly deepening his understanding of this character.
And then step by step.
That's where it is now.
In fact, although there was no complete performance system like Lin Bao before, in China, including Hollywood, many people take the path of experience.
Relying on their own performances and research, many people have also performed classic roles, and they have been portrayed very well.
But at the same time, there are also some actors, because they are too involved in the role, and really reach the state of "life is like a play, and the play is like life", although the role is very successful, but the person's realistic psychological and emotional state has become very bad because of this role, and may even suffer from depression because of this role.
This is what Lin Bao is worried about.
Yu Chenghao is now a bit of such a trend.
......
"Senior. ”
According to the shooting plan, today's scene was filmed an hour ahead of schedule, and the crew didn't plan anymore and rested directly, while Lin Bao followed Yu Chenghao, who had finished changing his clothes, and went outside.
"Director Lin. ”
Yu Chenghao followed suit, "How about it, now my performance has reached the state of Cheng Dieyi you imagined, right?"
"Very good, very good!"
Lin Bao nodded, "To be honest, the senior's state completely exceeded my previous expectations. Now the whole shooting process has been sped up a lot!"
"Really?"
Yu Chenghao turned his head and smiled lightly, "Seriously, it feels really fast." I heard Assistant Director Feng say just now that half of the filming scenes have passed. ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Bao said, "By the way, senior, I discussed with the director team just now, and I am going to stop filming for a few days." ”
"Stop filming for a few days?"
Yu Chenghao was puzzled, "Why?"
"It's just that the scene is halfway through, and the progress is okay, I thought, everyone can take a good rest, take a week off, and then shoot the second half of the scene. ”
Lin Bao said.
"But...... Lin Bao, I think everyone is in a good state now, just shoot it in one go, and it's good to stop for a week when the shooting is over!"
Yu Chenghao couldn't help but say.
Lin Bao stopped, looked at him, and did not speak.
Yu Chenghao also reacted slightly: "That...... I know that this matter is the decision of the director team, and I have no right to say anything. But I feel like I've been getting into a groove lately, and it might be better if I keep shooting. If you break the rhythm and rest for a few days, it will be bad if you can't find that feeling!"
"Okay. ”
Lin Bao thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll discuss it with Teacher Feng and them later." ”
Immediately, the two of them continued to chat and walked outside.
......
The matter of stopping filming, Lin Bao was indeed carefully considered.
He was a little afraid that if Yu Chenghao continued to film in his current state, the whole person would fall deeper and deeper.
In the end, it is a great sin to be truly irreversibly affected internally or psychologically.
After eating, back at the hotel, Lin Bao discussed this matter with Zheng Rong and Assistant Director Feng.
Interrupting filming is not a trivial matter.
Previously, it was rare for Lin Bao to readjust the shooting plan because he wanted to shoot the best effect.
If you stop filming now......
"Lin Bao, I don't really recommend stopping shooting. ”
After listening to Lin Bao's words, Zheng Rong thought about it and said, "Yu Chenghao's current state, I have seen it in other actors before. This state is both a good thing and a bad thing for an actor, and if he survives, it will be very helpful for his own acting skills to improve. If you deliberately interrupt it, not to mention the rest, I am worried that it will have a more adverse impact on Yu Chenghao's own mood state. ”
Lin Bao nodded slightly.
This is actually a question that he is concerned about.
Yu Chenghao himself has now entered such a state, a state of full tension and tension, if it suddenly stops, it is as if the operation of internal strength suddenly stagnates, and it may bring internal injuries.
When he left the set before, when he chatted with Yu Chenghao, he could also feel the resistance in his opponent's heart.
Moreover, just like Zheng Rong said, going from being obsessed with performance to going in a bad direction and towards depression is just a guess or the worst result.
Now Yu Chenghao has only entered a state of fascination, and has not shown too extreme situations, which is also a point to consider.
"Teacher Feng, what do you think?"
Lin Bao looked at Deputy Director Feng next to him.
The latter said: "I think, we can try again, anyway, now it's either in the crew or in the hotel, what is Yu Chenghao's state, everyone is watching, and they won't worry too much." ”
"Okay. ”
Lin Bao finally nodded, "Then about what we are talking about, keep it secret for the time being, don't tell anyone else, the most important thing is Senior Cheng Hao, I'm afraid that if he listens, he will be even more stressed." ”
"Rest assured. ”
Everyone else in the room nodded.
