Chapter 238: Different (2-in-1)
In a scene, different actors will have different ways of expression, but no matter how they act, the transmission of emotions in their eyes is the easiest to shine.
There are many famous eye dramas, movies like Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs", Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine", etc., TV series like Wu Gang in "In the Name of the People", Li Mingqi in "Huanzhu Gege", etc.
A look, a scene, it is very easy for the audience to be impressed by a character, of course, many scenes not only require eyes, but also the logic of the characters before and after the plot and the overall performance of the actors, which will be faithfully reflected by the camera.
There are many actors in Gan Jing's time and space who can have a good interpretation of their eyes, like Al Pacino, like Chen Daoming, like Tony Leung, and the tranquility in the actress is also good, and the negative example, Yang Tianbao's eyes are very ...... It's strange that she can be hollow and make people wonder.
There are many scenes in "Infernal Affairs" that people can remember, the encounter between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming in the music store, the fateful duel between the two undercover agents on the rooftop, the shooting of Han Chen and Liu Jianming in the underground parking lot without a single line, the "three years and three years" between Superintendent Huang Zhicheng and undercover Chen Yongren, the Morse code used by the undercover agent to transmit information, and ......
Here and now, under the mirror, Gan Jing plays Chen Yongren's shocked and desperate eyes when he sees his boss die in front of him.
Whether it was or is now, Gan Jing is very good at using his eyes, and he likes to use not many performances to convey the emotions of the character, Chen Yongren's role has too much to say, and he has made too many preparations for this.
The writing and combing of the plot of the script, the thinking and inventory of the director's perspective, the self-excavation of the actors, and the thoughts of the previous life.
Gan Jing sometimes can't tell whether he likes the story or the role played by Tony Leung.
"I'll take a look. ”
The assistant director shouted "pass" for the first time, Gan Jing trotted to the monitor and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile, well, I felt that I was in good shape when I was acting, and the picture in the monitor was consistent with my own feelings.
"Go on, have you explained all the group performances in the later shots?" Gan Jing asked the assistant director.
Xia Yan nodded and said, "I've explained, don't worry." ”
Gan Jing went back very satisfied and continued to prepare, the next shot is a conventional shot, and there will be a slightly distinctive supporting role to set off the emotional dilemma faced by Chen Yongren.
As an undercover agent, he watched his boss die in front of him, and in the same way, he had to watch his well-connected companion die in front of him.
A police officer is a human, not a robot, and if he is human, he has feelings, and when an undercover agent witnesses such a situation, he is bound to be shocked.
This is an inevitable situation for Chen Yongren from the time he chose to be an undercover agent, and similarly, another police ghost Liu Jianming will inevitably encounter a similar situation.
Returning to the character of Chen Yongren itself, he faces the death of the people around him twice in one day, but he belongs to two sides, so those who are good to me are good, and those who are evil to me are evil?
No, the plot development under the script is actually a summary of the lines spoken by Chen Yongren on the rooftop later - I'm sorry, I'm a policeman.
If you are a policeman, then the law is the criterion.
Good and evil: Want to be a good person?
Go talk to the judge.
This is Chen Yongren's choice.
Gan Jing handled the characters very smoothly in his heart, so he acted very smoothly.
On this day, Lu Wei proposed to get the box lunch, but it actually made Gan Jing, who is both the director and the starring actor, feel comfortable, he is always standing in front of the monitor during this time, which is quite depressed, how can he be a director and be an actor.
Soon, the original reserved day was only half a day to finish, and the main time was wasted on cleaning up the crew's props.
"Director Gan, do you want to shoot this afternoon?"
Gan Jinggang chatted with producer Zeng Yonghua for a few words when he heard a voice coming from the side, but it was the young actor Xu Chaoliang who just joined the group yesterday.
"There won't be a change in the afternoon, are you going out shopping? ”
Xu Chaoliang hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, director, I want to hear you talk about drama." ”
Gan Jing had a faint sense of weirdness in his heart, well, this goods are condescending, and there must be no good thing.
He decisively refused: "I don't have time in the afternoon, I want to talk to my daughter about videos." ”
"Does the director have any requirements for my role?" asked Xu Chaoliang without giving up.
Gan Jingluo sighed: "It's good to act normally, sometimes it can improve an actor's evaluation in the director's heart if it doesn't steal the scene." ”
This is a bit of a polite remark, but what you didn't intend to say was your own seemingly sincere inquiry.
Gan Jing has never dealt with Xu Chaoliang before, only judging from the scenes he just joined the group, the second time he was NG yesterday afternoon was the young actor's intentional performance, but the first time the smile was not necessarily unintentional.
Xu Chaoliang didn't get angry after listening to the director's words, nodded and said: "Yes, director, I like the script of "Infernal Affairs" very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future." ”
Gan Jing nodded slightly, noncommittally.
Xu Chaoliang didn't say anything more when he said this, he said goodbye and left the car that went to the back field.
Gan Jing was a little puzzled by his somewhat inexplicable performance, but he didn't dwell on this, anyway, as long as he could make a good movie.
After finishing work and returning to the hotel, Gan Jing first sorted out the mood of the location performance that afternoon, although he completed it all over again, but it is always a very effective way to summarize it later.
When the part about the work was over, Gan Jing dialed his daughter's video, Gan Xuesi didn't know any words, but he learned things very quickly, and the video could be opened without the help of others.
Father and daughter met in the air, you said that I had an exchange, Gan Xuesi because she saw a lot of crews with her father, so she was a kind of report in the video, talking about the opening of kindergarten.
Gan Jing has nothing to report back, he can't tell his daughter anything about the filming progress of the crew, so he can only tell his daughter to study hard, make progress every day, don't forget to paint, and listen to more music.
After such a video of father's kindness and filial piety hung up, Gan Jing was a little worried in his heart, and he suddenly found a small problem, he and Ersi didn't seem to have any common topic.
Well, should parents have common topics with their children?
Gan Jing was in doubt.
None of the visitors who knocked on the door of the hotel room after dinner could answer this doubt, the assistant directors Xia Yan and Li Zaoyu, the leading actors Zhang Zhonghui and Ma Hammer, and the supporting role Xu Chaoliang - this one was bored and walked around the hotel and saw Ma Hammer go to the director's room and came up.
There are actors, and there are actors, and there is no vain in contact.
However, no one in this room had children, except for Gan Jing.
Gan Jing looked at it like this, and expelled some doubts with a faint sense of pride, and was ready to communicate with teachers or other parents when he had time, as for now, it was better to do things normally.
"There's nothing wrong with this shot today, right?"
The computer on the table in the hotel room was showing the footage taken this morning, and after Gan Jing clicked on it, he came to the opening sentence.
On the day of the shooting, it was a habit to not know when to start in the crew, Xia Yan and Li Zaoyu were very adaptable, Zhang Zhonghui occasionally came to listen, and Ma Hammer was a younger brother.
"Nope. ”
"Nope. ”
"No, it's great!"
Gan Jing was a little stunned when he heard the unanimous answer, he glanced at the five people present, and then glanced at Xu Chaoliang, who had added two more words: "Then I still don't want to talk about today's treatment?"
Say. This time, the five answered neatly.
Gan Jing nodded, and only after showing the picture first began to focus on his understanding and interpretation of the characters, his usual performance characters are often a mixture of three performance schools, but this time the scene is purely experiential.
Zhang Zhonghui, Xia Yan, Li Zaoyu and Ma Hammer all knew Gan Jing's theory, and more or less accepted some views, and Xu Chaoliang, a first-time visitor, was very surprised...... Amazing.
Just like the amazing when I saw Gan King's performance on the set this morning!
At this time, he looked at Zhang Zhonghui, who was listening carefully and thinking seriously, and Xia Yan and Li Zaoyu, who looked at Xia Yan and Li Zaoyu with a look of agreement, and suddenly understood why he had seen the different attitudes of many people in the crew towards the director since yesterday.
Of course, there is the identity bonus of investors and the respect for the director's position, but the bigger factor is the director's excellent acting skills!
At the very least, Zhang Zhonghui's cliff is like this!
Xu Chaoliang came to his senses.
"In terms of characters, we as actors have to be taken seriously, but there is one thing I think is also worth thinking about. Gan Jing said something else after performing a role that could be pronounced.
"The same expression in different stories conveys different meanings to the audience, and that's what I see from a director's perspective when I stand in front of a monitor. Gan Jing knew that only Xia Yan was a professional director among the five people present, but he felt that talking about this feeling would also help the performance.
"Xu Chaoliang, since you are here, there is no one else in the room, so I will directly use you as an example. Gan Jing turned on the outspoken mode, "A director, a person who needs to connect different clips, what he needs and the interpretation of individual actors sometimes conflict. ”
"Like Xu Chaoliang, he wanted to dig more characters yesterday, but from the perspective of a single character, 80 points is not as good as 70 points that can be integrated into the story. ”
Gan Jing took two steps and said to Li Zaoyu: "You make an expression with affection. ”
After Li Zaoyu did as he said, he stretched out his right hand to stroke the girl's right cheek, but he had no expression, and he didn't give a special meaning in his eyes.
Gan Jing held for five seconds and then asked Xu Chaoliang, "What do you think I was like just now?"
Xu Chaoliang will be in the mentality of seeking advice, and said seriously: "It's like a scumbag, the kind that doesn't love but still possesses." ”
Gan Jing nodded and didn't comment, and said to Li Zaoyu: "You play a corpse now." ”
This time, Gan Jing still stroked with his right hand, and there was no emotion on his face and eyes, and then he asked instead, "Xu Chaoliang, what about this time?"
Xu Chaoliang was a little hesitant now, if you simply strip away Gan Jing's performance, it seems that there is no change, but when you look at this simple scene, it seems that there is grief, and it can quickly outline a story of life and death parting with great sorrow and speechlessness.
Gan Jing didn't wait for Xu Chaoliang's answer, and directly came to a conclusion: "The actor's performance also depends on where the director wants to put it, as far as this "Infernal Affairs" is concerned, I am a trustworthy director, so what I am talking about is ......"
He thought about it and felt that it seemed a bit too arrogant to say "it's right" directly, so he held back and replaced the last few words with: "Eight or nine are not far from ten." ”
Xu Chaoliang was the first to respond: "Director, I understand." ”
Li Zaoyu glanced at him a little unpleasantly and nodded.
"Of course I trust Gan. Zhang Zhonghui also saw the daytime performance today, so he has a desire to share when he encounters wonderful scenes, "So far, I think next year's awards will have to consider our films." ”
Gan Jingyi stretched out his hand and pulled a long tone: "Hey~"
Normally, this kind of syllable will quickly keep up with the words of self-humility, Xu Chaoliang is ready to flatter, but after a "hey", Gan Jing has a real smile on his face.
Well, this director is extraordinary.
Xu Chaoliang realized again, and somewhat understood Director Gan Jing's style of acting.
"Today is the end of Lu Wei's play, I'm looking to see if there is anything that needs to be refilmed in the past two days, try to finish filming the fragmentary supporting roles in the middle of the day, if the progress is fast enough, we will be able to finish it at the end of this month." ”
Gan Jing opened his mouth again to change the topic.
"Director Gan, have you considered when the sequel will be filmed?" asked assistant director Xia Yan.
Xu Chaoliang's eyes froze, this is a series.
Gan Jing smiled slightly and looked at Zhang Zhonghui: "It depends on the schedule that Lao Zhang said." ”
Zhang Zhonghui is an actor, a big name and a starring actor, and the schedule is actually a bit sensitive to say, but he did not evade it, and said: "I want to see the reputation and box office of this film, this matter still depends on Director Gan and Beijing Blu-ray." ”
The topic became serious.
"At present, the stills released in [above] have a good response, and the company is already doing publicity and distribution, don't worry about editing, I have ideas. Gan Jing told the story.
Zhang Zhonghui smiled.
Xia Yan, Ma Hammer, and Xu Chaoliang in the room couldn't interject at this time, so they could only silently watch the two crew bosses communicate.
The two talked about movie expectations, and by the way, they talked about movie awards, word-of-mouth influence, box office market, theater publicity and rebates.
It's just by the way, but the other three still can't interject, Xu Chaoliang was stunned with the illusion that he and Gan Jing were not peers at all.
"That's it, Xu Chaoliang, pay more attention to tomorrow's shooting. ”
At the end of the regular inventory, Gan Jing did not forget to tell the young actors in the end.
"Okay, don't worry, director. ”
It's only been two days, and Xu Chaoliang's mentality is completely different.
