340 Back-to-basics acting skills (for the hall master 'Ah Weiya')
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a realistic script, and it is also a very realistic story.
The actor Cheng Yong is the owner of a health care product store, and he has achieved nothing in middle age, and his life is very poor.
He was forced to divorce because of his previous domestic violence against his daughter-in-law, and lost custody of his children, so he could only spend a fixed time with his children every week.
Cheng Yong's health care store is located in a dilapidated street, and the business is very bleak and he does not make much money, but his father is critically ill and urgently needs money to save his life.
What's worse is that his ex-wife was pregnant with a rich man and had to take Cheng Yong's son abroad.
Faced with the pressure of one burden after another in this life, Cheng Yong was a little desperate and was about to be crushed for a while.
It was at this time that a man named Lu Yingli came to his health care store.
This Lu benefited from a leukemia patient, and he begged Cheng Yong to go to India to smuggle generic drugs, which could make money at the same time, and also allow patients who could not afford to buy sky-high genuine drugs to save their lives.
Cheng Yong is in need of money.
However...... It is an offence to smuggle generic drugs.
Between making money and breaking the law, Cheng Yong swayed left and right.
Cheng Yong, the hero of the story, is naturally played by Wei Xun.
Jiang Duzhou plays the role of Lu Yingying.
Shao Bing is not only the director of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", but also played one of the roles, Cao Bin.
Cao Bin's identity is a police officer, and he is also the younger brother of Cheng Yong's ex-wife.
The only role is more than Liu Sihui, who is the heroine, played by An Shi.
The last character, Peng Hao, that is, Huang Mao, was handed over to Yi Heng.
"Detective Chinatown 2" is still stuck in the Film Bureau, and the actor who promised to give Yi Heng can't be filmed for the time being, so Wei Xun filled in Yi Heng into the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
To be honest, although the "Tang Detective" series is a big commercial film, the role of the actor Qin Feng is too 'vase', far less brilliant than the male supporting Huang Mao in "The God of Medicine".
In fact, Wei Xun understands that someone is stuck with the intention of "Tang Detective 2".
Frankly speaking, there is no problem with "Tang Detective 2", it is a matter of time before the trial is passed, and now it is not so much stuck as dragging it.
After two months of review, "Tang Detective 2" will not be released in time for the Spring Festival next year.
At that time, there will only be one small-budget movie with a realistic theme that seems to be 'unbeatable' at the box office, "The God of Medicine".
As the director and actor of "Tang Detective 2", Bao Qiang is now crazy, and he goes to the film bureau every day to urge, and Zou Min is also anxious to find various ways.
But Wei Xun himself is not in a hurry.
Because in his opinion, it is a good thing that "Tang Detective 2" and "God of Medicine" were released separately.
In this way, the box office benefits can be maximized, otherwise the kings will see that the kings collide with each other, and the gains will definitely outweigh the losses for the medal.
It's just that these words can't be said to Zou Min and Bao Qiangming, just when the filming of "God of Medicine" started, Wei Xun took the opportunity to slip out of Beijing.
The crew of "God of Medicine", dressing room.
"Mr. Wei, isn't this a little haggard?"
The makeup artist looked at Wei Xun's outfit in the mirror and asked hesitantly, "Moreover, I basically don't wear any makeup." ”
After the opening ceremony of "God of Medicine" was completed yesterday, filming officially started today.
Now Wei Xun is setting his makeup with the help of a makeup artist.
Wei Xun in the mirror, with slightly greasy long hair, looks haggard and tired, with numbness crushed by life on his face, and is a failed little person living at the bottom of society.
Mournful and depressed, no goal, no direction, no future.
When Wei Xun came yesterday, even if he was wearing simple jeans and a short T, he was a handsome male god.
As a result, not long after sitting in the dressing room, the handsome guy became a middle-aged depressed and greasy uncle in seconds, even if he knew that this was the need of the plot, the makeup artist was a little unbearable.
However, Wei Xun himself is quite satisfied.
He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror, thought for a moment, then took out a cigarette from the drawer, pinned it to his ear, and said, "It's good, so be it." ”
Cheng Yong himself is such a character.
After putting on makeup, Wei Xun walked out with the script, and it happened that Jiang Duzhou was finished, and the two looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
Jiang Duzhou was wearing a pair of glasses at the moment, his hair was oily, and because he had leukemia, the makeup artist put on him looked even haggard.
In short, in this realistic story, basically most of the characters are like this, disgraced and sad.
"Looks pretty good. ”
Wei Xun hammered Jiang Duzhou on the shoulder and asked, "What Lao Shao means is that I don't have to make up first, let me go through a plot to find a feeling." ”
Jiang Duzhou followed him out, nodded and said: "Then you must be the first one to go later, how to say it, whether it is Cheng Yong or Lu Yingying, it is difficult to challenge, I have been preparing for so long and still have no bottom, I will see your performance later." ”
I had seen Wei Xun's acting skills in the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" before, so Jiang Duzhou definitely didn't worry about him not acting well.
On the contrary, Jiang Duzhou is looking forward to how Wei Xun can perform the role of Cheng Yong.
"Come on, come on, the actors who have made up are all coming over, and they are all watching from the side. ”
On the set of the crew, seeing Wei Xun and Jiang Duzhou coming, Shao Bing stood up and beckoned some actors to pay attention, then looked at Wei Xun and said with a smile: "Although this story is simple, it should be very difficult to film, I thought, you go on the stage first to make a sample." ”
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is really easy to film, and it is about the story level.
But it is also difficult to shoot, because this kind of realistic movie has too high requirements for actors, and once the performance is not good, it is easy for the audience to play.
The closer you are to life, the more you need to be authentic, because authenticity can move people's hearts.
Wei Xun put down the script in his hand with a smile and said, "Okay." ”
Jiang Duzhou, Yi Heng, An Shi and other actors were all watching in anticipation.
"The first scene of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", start filming!"
The scene notes play the Allegro.
Shao Bing sat behind a monitor and watched Wei Xun's performance from the screen.
In this scene, Cheng Yong is leaning on an office chair, smoking a cigarette in one hand and holding a mouse in the other, staring at the card game on the computer screen.
The store is full of health supplements.
His hair hasn't been washed for a long time, it's oily, his face is a little sallow, the whole person doesn't look energetic, his smoking posture is lazy and decadent, and he looks like a messy life.
An old man from the store next door came to collect the rent, entered the store and said, "Lao Cheng, the landlord called me again, and I said that you didn't open the door." ”
Cheng Yong took a cigarette in his mouth, spit out a puff of smoke, and then poked his head out from behind the computer screen, closed his hands without any expression, and said, "Thank you." ”
The old man said, "Hurry up and pay the rent." ”
Cheng Yong looked indifferent: "No money, did I sell the batch of oil in your store two days ago?"
The old man said: "No one buys it, now everyone uses Brother X, and I use your goods, but I don't use the ball." ”
When the old man left, Cheng Yong's face was a little unpleasant, he held a cigarette and sneered: "You can't use the ball yourself." ”
The old man is just a supporting role, and the camera is basically focused on Wei Xun.
And it's also a face-slapping shot, micro-expressions, and small movements, which are basically captured by the camera and then zoomed in.
Shao Bing sat behind the monitor, watching Wei Xun finish this scene, and sighed in his heart.
Compared with a few years ago, Wei Xun's acting skills are now more and more back to basics.
This performance is simply Cheng Yong himself.
Absolutely.
