Chapter 550: Appearance and acting skills are important
He Xin read the script again, and his interest was really hung.
Because this story is a visual illustration of the love beliefs of an infatuated man. It's a subject he's never touched before, and it's very novel.
When he was in school, he heard Hao Rong say that as an actor, you must always have a childlike heart.
What is Childlike Innocence?
It is to have curiosity about some new things, with curiosity you will explore, to explore you will have the desire and enthusiasm to create.
That's right, acting is creation, not dull imitation.
The story tells that Amin went from being heartbroken to trying to get it, but he was always frustrated. In fact, it's not that this Ah Jiu is cold and ruthless, and she's just a bait for revenge, so in the burning of hatred, the woman struggles with the confusion of wanting love or revenge, of course, the woman loses her life and love in revenge, because she can only choose the same, which is the most credible reason for all tragic love.
It is said that tragedy is the highest form of art. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that the teacher is really literary and artistic, and at the same time really ambitious. As a fledgling director, he dares to challenge the highest forms of expression in art.
Although the script is beautifully written, the female perspective is unique. But in all fairness, the story of "Love Has an Afterlife" still falls into clichΓ©s, telling the love of two people in a generational enmity family upside down in a space with ghosts.
is a movie like this with ghosts and love, and there is "Ghost Love" that cannot be surpassed before, and then there is Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui's classic "Rouge Buckle". "Love Has an Afterlife" is actually standing in a position where people have stood before and looking at the scenery in the distance.
The height can be learned, but can we see more scenery? Is the scenery beautiful? This requires the skill of the director and the performance creation of the actors.
Putting aside Mr. Yu's identity as a rookie director, let's talk about actors, Mr. Yu made it clear to He Xin today that she will play the female number one Ah Jiu in the play.
self-written, directed, and acted, there are many successful examples in later generations, such as Zhou Xingxing, such as Jiang Wen, such as Xu Guangtou, and so on.
But when it fell on Teacher Yu, He Xin always felt a little strange. First of all, with her thirty-six-year-old "advanced age", even if she is frozen in age, she plays Ah Jiu, who is eighteen or nineteen years old and in her early twenties, and she is always slightly mature.
If you choose actors from He Xin's perspective, then the first choice for this role will definitely choose Zhang Ziyi. Life, love, revenge, whether it is Xin Xia in "Purple Butterfly", Jade Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or Xiaomei in "Ambush on All Sides", her tension, forbearance and sudden explosion of emotions always give people goosebumps.
At the same time, Zhang Niangniang is younger, stronger, and more aggressive, which is more suitable for the fierce, firm and persistent Ah Jiu in the script than the delicate and mature Teacher Yu.
Not to mention Zhang Ziyi's innate high-level movie face and acting skills, which are much better than teachers.
In other words, if it was Zhang Niangniang who played Ah Jiu, He Xin might not even think about it, and he would agree.
To use a misnomer, acting is sometimes like a football match, where the strength of the opponent is also very important. It's like the German team and the Spanish team playing a game, you come and go happily, but if the opponent is replaced by the Chinese team, not only is it boring, but it will also be hurt by the opponent's savage actions after being annoyed and angry, which will outweigh the losses.
In addition to his doubts about the teacher's appearance and acting skills, the script that has been polished for five years in Mr. Yu's mouth still has many loopholes in his opinion.
For example, the hatred between the hero and heroine is rendered unclear, and the reason for the conflict between the two families is inexplicable. There is also love, family affection, human and ghost love, how should the story of so many feelings kneaded together be told?
A strange woman will beckon a ghost to chat in the middle of the night in her own yard, a wise, iron-blooded horse thief leader will let his younger brother marry the daughter of a generational enemy, and a man who has worked so hard to marry will suddenly become a monk who knocks on wooden fish all day long. These twists are either too blunt or brushed aside, making people a little confused, and it feels like the plot is jumping around.
This is probably the common problem of the so-called screenwriters and directors of literary films, because from their point of view, they understand, so they think it is unnecessary to explain.
But don't forget that movies are made for the audience, not for you to be moved, which seems too pretentious and too self-egoistic.
Although he has always believed that a first-class actor is no match for a third-rate screenwriter, he generally does not interfere with the work of screenwriters and directors. As an actor, as long as you take on this play, it means that you trust the director, you should give yourself to the director, let the director control, and you only need to be responsible for the performance to achieve the effect that the director wants.
But looking at this script, he found that the teacher's level seemed to be a little bit like himself, obvious mistakes and loopholes, he couldn't turn a blind eye and write them down one by one.
"Hey, don't be busy, hurry up, it's time for the show. β
His girlfriend held a pot of freshly cut fruit and knocked on the study door to remind him.
"Oh, right away. β
He Xin hurriedly wrote the last line of words in his notebook: Ah Jiu's sentence "The tea is cold, I'll go and renew it for you" appeared too often, and it seemed very deliberate.
He hurriedly got up and ran to the living room.
Today is the premiere of "New Shanghai Beach" on Beijing TV, although the play was filmed as early as last year, Cheng Hao has not seen the finished film, so she is looking forward to it, and she especially wants her boyfriend to see how she overwhelms Sun Li in the play.
He Xin watched "New Shanghai Tang" in his last life, and remembered that he had great expectations for this TV series at that time, after all, the Hong Kong version of "Shanghai Tang" that he watched when he was a child was really a memory of a generation, the little fresh meat version of Fa Ge, the power of Lu Liangwei, the pure Zhao Yaju, and the unknown but charming Fang Yanyun.
People's aesthetics are probably innate, I remember that he was not yet developed at that time, so he especially hoped that Fa Ge could be with the gorgeous Fang Yanyun instead of the pure Zhao Yaju.
It can be seen that he has established an aesthetic of liking bewitching and light and familiar style since he was a child.
In his last life, he watched TV series, like most audiences, watching a plot and watching a lively, and he didn't pay much attention to the actors' performances, only knowing which character was likable and which character was annoying. After watching it, I often recall that there are several characters that always impress you very much. It wasn't until this time that you vaguely reacted, and it turned out that what impressed you was actually the good performance of others.
Therefore, some actors in later generations are not popular in the so-called drama celebrities, to a large extent, because their acting skills are not up to par and they cannot leave an impression on the audience.
After watching "New Shanghai Beach", because the original version was too classic, he was a little disappointed. Not very disappointed, just a little disappointed, which shows that this drama still has merit. But when it comes to actors, the only ones who can leave an impression on him are Feng Jingyao, who is probably Li Xuejian, and Fang Yanyun, whose name he can't name at that time, and only knows Huang Yiyi's play.
Of course, now he knows that the actor of Fang Yanyun in the original version of "New Shanghai Beach" is his old classmate Chen Shu in the Chinese opera junior college class, and now he is a Mandarin actor. In the past two years, Huang Yiyi became popular with the role of Huang Yiyi in "Secret Calculation". It's just that the time of being red is relatively short, and I haven't heard her name much in the past two years. However, her acting skills are indeed okay, and among all the female students in the junior college class, her grades were the most outstanding.
Beijing TV broadcasts two episodes a day, and the main characters appear one after another. Fang Yanyun played by Cheng Hao is only a glimpse in these two episodes, but it is enough. In terms of appearance, there is no suspense to defeat Chen Shu with short legs in the original version. And the style of gestures made the young Sun Li unable to catch up.
Although he watched his girlfriend's performance on the spot when he was filming, as soon as Fang Yanyun, played by his girlfriend on TV, appeared, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's so good!"
After all, compared with watching live shooting, the pictures broadcast in TV dramas are now more intuitive.
Whether the actor performs well or not, he knows it in his heart when filming, so Cheng Hao is quite confident in the Fang Yanyun he plays.
However, when I heard my boyfriend's admiration at this time, although I was very proud, I still hummed on the surface: "Don't be a fool of yourself, just flash a camera, what flowers can you see?"
"No, no, no!"
He Xin waved his hand and said seriously: "To see whether a character is good or not, you must first look at the appearance, and your appearance will stand up to the character of Fang Yanyun at once, which is enough." β
said, Feng Chengcheng played by Sun Li appeared in the picture, so he pointed to Sun Li on the TV screen and said: "Look at Sun Li, her appearance is not very good, although the clothes look very expensive, but the overall temperament is still biased towards the small jasper." And her performance is superficial, and she can't compare with you at all. β
"Really?" Cheng Hao said with a smile on his face.
Of course, He Xin has the intention of pleasing his girlfriend, but the premise is that his girlfriend is indeed very good-looking, as long as the appearance stands, with Cheng Hao's acting skills, he will naturally be able to control this character very well.
"Don't say you can't see it, otherwise your two years of graduate school will be in vain. He Xin glanced at her and said.
"Who said I couldn't see it, in fact, your good sister acted in general at the beginning, but the later drama was still good, at least with Mr. Li Xuejian's rivalry, she didn't have stage fright at all, which is very good. You must know that when I played against Mr. Li for the first time, I was unconsciously led astray by his rhythm, and it was embarrassing to say it. β
He Xin was surprised that his girlfriend was able to speak for Sun Li today, and he was not easy to pick up, so he followed the topic of Teacher Li Xuejian and said, "You are led astray by Teacher Li's rhythm, what is there to be ashamed of this." You should be honored to have the opportunity to act with Mr. Li. β
In his mind, Mr. Li Xuejian's acting skills can definitely be regarded as palace-level. At the beginning, the two braided dramas of March River were broadcast, and at that time, everyone praised Jiao Huang and Chen Daoming in various ways, thinking that the Kangxi they played was amazing.
The acting skills of these two are naturally good, He Xin has also cooperated with Chen Daoming and learned his excellent acting skills, but when it comes to being superb, he still feels a little too much.
Without him, he just felt that these two were a little too upright.
For example, these two can definitely play Yangchun Baixue well, but they may not be able to play the lower riba people well, and Mr. Li Xuejian can definitely switch freely.
"That's right, when Mr. Li Xuejian made his first appearance on the scene, we were all stupid, especially when he opened his mouth to say his lines, everyone thought he was Feng Jingyao. Cheng Hao nodded and said.
Last year, I filmed "New Shanghai Beach" and cooperated with Mr. Li Xuejian, although I didn't benefit a lot, but I was suppressed, that is for sure.
At this time, the picture of Ding Li played by Huang Haibo appeared on the TV screen, and Cheng Hao pointed at him again and said: "Hai Bo is also very good......
While watching TV, the two talked about the performances of the actors in the play and some interesting things during filming. However, coincidentally, both of them subconsciously avoided Brother Xiaoming, who appeared most frequently in the picture.
It's really not a good evaluation, can't the two of them complain about Brother Xiao Ming's imitation, coolness, and pretending to be forced together, right?
