Chapter 377: Slag and Explosion
This is the story of a family of four, whose parents, like many uncles and aunts around them, are people who have supported the construction of the third line from Shanghai.
Qinghong was not admitted to university, so she could only go to the technical school in the factory, and there was a younger brother who was in elementary school at home.
Seeing that 20 years have passed, the fathers have spent the most precious time of their lives here. However, with the reform and opening up, many families have begun to think of ways to return to their hometown in Shanghai, where they are familiar with the living environment they yearn for, which is their roots, and can also give the next generation a better future.
Qinghong's parents were particularly eager for this idea.
They hope that their daughter will study hard, be admitted to university, train their son to learn the piano, and hope to have a skill, and then the family will return to Shanghai with dignity.
However, Qinghong does not understand her parents' wishes. She and her partner were born and raised in Sri Lanka, and here are all the memories of her life. In Qinghong's heart, this is her home, with the fun of childhood, sincere friendship, and the first love that is difficult to give up in the budding heart of youth - Xiaogen, a young man from a local peasant family who has just entered the factory as a temporary worker......
The beautiful love affair in the daughter's heart is the biggest obstacle in the eyes of the father.
Xiaogen, who had just gone to work, saved up two months' salary, bought Qinghong a pair of beautiful red high heels, and secretly stuffed them into the drawer of Qinghong's desk.
Qinghong saw the shoes, felt exciting and liked, and at the encouragement of her friend Xiaozhen, she changed into high heels and walked around happily, but she happened to be seen by her father.
This scene is filmed about the father escorting Qinghong in red high heels home, and there is a fierce conflict between father and daughter.
The on-site camera position, props, scenery, and extras are all OK, the actor who plays Qinghong's mother is washing vegetables outside the kitchen, and only one back is revealed in the camera, and the younger brother is sitting at the door, watching the piano score while fiddling with the accordion.
"Alright, all in place—"
“Action!”
This is a long shot, at the three-way intersection of the high slope in the distance, Gao Yuanyuan, wearing a dark red plaid jacket, blue pants, carrying a school bag, holding a black umbrella in one hand and black flat heels in the other, turned from the side path to Qinglong Road. What makes people's eyes shine is the pair of red high heels on her feet, which are very trendy and fashionable at the moment.
Yao Anlian was wearing a blue khaki tunic that was common at that time, carrying a leatherette bag in one hand and a trouser pocket with the other, and his back was slightly bent, following him leisurely.
As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one, and looking at the way Yao Anlian walked, it would make the onlookers feel very natural, and at first glance, they were countless ordinary people like this on the street in that era.
On the other hand, Gao Yuanyuan, because she was wearing a pair of red high heels that did not match her clothes, made people feel a little awkward, but this awkwardness should be a true portrayal of a scene at that time. It's just that her walk is too smooth, and her steps in high heels are too modern, which adds to the abruptness of the mismatch, rather than the sense of age that the characters want to show.
He Xin squatted beside Wang Xiaoshuai and looked at the picture in the monitor, and sure enough, the afterglow of his eyes found that Wang Xiaoshuai was also frowning slightly at this time, but he didn't shout to stop and continued to shoot.
As the people in the picture get closer and closer, you will find that the owner wearing trendy and fashionable red high heels has no joy on his face, on the contrary, his mouth is slightly pursed, the corners of his eyebrows are a little melancholy, and he walks in a hurry.
When He Xin saw this picture, he couldn't help but laugh silently. It should be said that the design of Sister Yuanyuan's action has worked very hard, but it feels very deliberate, unreal, and pretended at first glance.
Sure enough, at this time, I heard Wang Xiaoshuai shouting: "Stop!"
Then he glared back at the man who was smiling unkindly, his eyes visibly disgruntled.
Gao Yuanyuan heard the director shouting to stop, obviously realizing that the problem was there, and said with a look of annoyance: "I'm sorry, I didn't handle this action well just now." ”
"It's not just that the movement isn't handled properly, it's also the way you walked before, and you have to find the feeling of wearing high heels for the first time. Wang Xiaoshuai expressed his opinion through the walkie-talkie.
"Uh, got it, director, I'll try again. Gao Yuanyuan's voice was obviously a little lacking in confidence.
Wang Xiaoshuai is not the kind of director who is good at training actors, but what makes him stronger than Lou Ye is that he will point out the problem, instead of being like Lou Ye, who is silent and then asks you to come over and over again.
However, even if Wang Xiaoshuai pointed out the problem of Gao Yuanyuan's performance, the effect was still not obvious. The result can only come over and over again, just one shot of seven or eight shots, but it still can't achieve the effect Wang Xiaoshuai wants.
To be honest, although Gao Yuanyuan is a little old-fashioned as the nineteen-year-old Qinghong, when she is paralyzed, her cold and ascetic expression should be said to be particularly in line with the character of Qinghong. This is probably the main reason why Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't wait for Wang Ruodan's schedule, and finally chose her.
But the problem lies in the acting skills, the handling of various details always makes people feel deliberate, unnatural, and dramatic.
Just like the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" starring her with Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen before, it stands to reason that with her perfect ancient costume, coupled with her tall and tall figure, Jia Jingwen with short legs almost exploded in appearance. It's a pity that Sister Yuanyuan still loses in acting, and the same rivalry with Su Youpeng, one is pleasing to the eye, and the other is very embarrassing.
is not black or blowing, among the many Wanwan actresses, Jia Jingwen's acting skills should be quite good.
He Xin has been squatting beside the director and staring at the monitor, at the beginning, he was still picking on Yuanyuan's faults, but after watching it twice, he was bored, I have to say that Yuanyuan really has no talent in acting, and always repeats mistakes.
Because it's a complete long shot, no matter what detail goes wrong, you have to start all over again. Gradually, he was attracted by Yao Anlian's performance following behind.
It should be said that Lao Yao is quite unlucky, there is nothing to blame for his performance, but because of Gao Yuanyuan, he can only accompany him again and again.
And every time because of the change of the surrounding extras, he has no need to deal with the details, such as an extras coming over, he will subconsciously glance at it like a normal pedestrian, and then quickly look away. Following Gao Yuanyuan, he would glance at her back from time to time, but at that time, he had a bitter and hateful expression, but he still had to pay attention at all times to prevent the people around him from discovering this expression.
fully interprets the image of a middle-aged man who is worried about his daughter, hates iron but not steel, and loves face.
Lao Yao is very dedicated, so he accompanied him over and over again, without the slightest expression of impatience on his face. A few times, Gao Yuanyuan may have felt embarrassed and said a few words to him, and then he would grin and wave his hand, indicating that he didn't care. is not affected by the emotions of the characters in the play at all, a typical methodological school.
There is also the fact that He Xin found that Lao Yao is a chicken thief, he followed Gao Yuanyuan over and over again, He Xin didn't believe that he would not see the problem, but he never took the initiative to point out the problems in the performance to the other party.
To put it bluntly, it is wise to protect oneself, and the circle has always been complicated, especially for non-famous actors like him, sometimes it is really embarrassing, and the other party appreciates it, if you don't appreciate it, it can only be thankless.
It's just that after He Xin's memory of Lao Yao became older in later life, he began to let himself go, after filming the movie version of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", when the reporter interviewed him about his evaluation of the TV series version of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", he openly diss the acting skills of an actress surnamed sugar need to be improved, resulting in almost autism being attacked by the actress's fans.
Therefore, it is very embarrassing to think that an acting scum like a certain sugar can replace Sandra Bullock in "Land Attraction".
"Stop!"
For the tenth time, when Sister Yuanyuan stumbled awkwardly again, Wang Xiaoshuai finally didn't hold back and shouted to stop again.
At this time, he took off his headphones and said helplessly: "Rest for ten minutes, and the actor will adjust." ”
Then when I turned around, I saw someone still squatting there happily, and suddenly I was angry and scolded: "Look at you heartless, you usually call Yuanyuan so affectionately, why can't you think of helping others!"
"Uh......"
He Xin was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands at Wang Xiaoshuai with a bitter face: "Director, you said it helped?"
“......”
Wang Xiaoshuai was also speechless, took off his glasses, pulled out a sweater from under his clothes and wiped the lenses, and said with a painful face after a while: "You said that it has been so many years, why is Yuanyuan ......?"
Fortunately, Director Xiaoshuai's emotional intelligence has risen, and he finally didn't say the words "no growth".
just vented to the goods without a good voice: "Then have you seen enough fun?"
"I didn't ...... Oh no, I didn't watch the excitement, I kept watching Teacher Yao again!"
Saying that, He Xin still smashed his mouth and exclaimed: "I really admire the relaxation in Mr. Yao's body, if I play this scene, I will definitely not be able to achieve his kind of effect, almost every time there are changes, it is really an eye-opener!"
"Cut, Lao Yao has been in this industry for less than 20 years, where are you going?" Wang Xiaoshuai snorted.
At the same time, there was a hint of color on his face, quite a bit of discerning taste.
There is nothing wrong with it at all, in Yao Anlian's 20-year acting career, this is the first time to play the leading role in a real sense. In this regard, Wang Xiaoshuai is indeed something to be proud of.
In fact, acting skills are not mysterious, and at the same level, many of them are things that are wise and wise.
For example, later generations often see the emotional outburst of a certain actor, hysterical crying scenes, and some people often exclaim that their acting skills are explosive, and some small flowers and small fresh meat are rare to not make people play at one time, and they will be blown into plastic surgery performances by fans.
Looking back now, He Xin is really speechless. Of course, you can't blame the fans or the audience, after all, they are laymen. But as an actor...... Oh, in fact, most of the people who are not qualified to be called actors don't know how to count?
In fact, the so-called explosive acting, crying scenes, etc., these are the most basic things in the drama school, and these are the requirements that sophomores must meet.
And the real so-called performance is not in the emotional outburst, or some more intense scenes. It's expressed through a myriad of details.
For example, in this scene just now, it is obviously the father and daughter going home one after the other, without lines, which seems very simple. But what the actor needs to express is the emotions of the characters at this time, the reaction to the surrounding environment, and the emotions that will change with the change of the other person's emotions, etc., all of which must be expressed through subtle expressions and appropriate body language.
Relaxed and natural, this is the real acting explosion!
After a habitual burst of divergent thinking, He Xin remembered, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it over.
Wang Xiaoshuai glanced down at the cigarette case of Double Happiness in his hand, and couldn't help laughing: "You are single-minded, you are such a big name, and you still smoke this?"
"Get used to it!"
He Xin grinned, and immediately helped the director to order, and then asked, "Director, when is my play scheduled?"
Wang Xiaoshuai took a sip of the performance, groaned slightly, and said: "Look, if the shooting goes well today, I will transfer to the mining lamp factory tomorrow afternoon." ”
He Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My first scene, you are so big?"
"Me 19" was filmed here, and there are only two main scenes, one is No. 19 Qinglong Road here, and the other is the miner's lamp factory in the director's mouth.
It is where Qinghong's parents, her friend Xiaozhen's parents, Li Junye and Xiaogen work together, and the scenes about factories in the script account for almost one-third.
And Li Jun played by He Xin has only one scene over there, but it is the most important scene in all the scenes in the play. It was Li Jun who held an underground dance party in the canteen of the factory and clashed with the young workers of the factory next door, and at the same time conquered Qinghong's friend Xiaozhen with the fashionable dress and very popular disco of that era.
What's more, the two staged a fierce kiss scene when they first met.
Wang Xiaoshuai said nonchalantly: "This scene is the first time Li Jun and Xiaozhen have met, and I just want to create this sense of strangeness, so I deliberately went to the premise." Oh yes, did you know Yangyang?"
"Oh, I met, I didn't expect to meet a fellow here!" He Xin nodded hurriedly.
The Yangyang in the director's mouth is called Wang Yangyang, and he plays the role of Xiaozhen in the play. She is a small but very sweet and sexy girl, she just graduated from the military performance department this year, and He Xin is a fellow villager in Harbin.
"Fellow?"
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled: "I almost forgot, you are also from the Northeast!"
