Chapter 21: The Brave
"Ten minutes off!"
"Deng Shang, if you don't want to act, you can get out of here now. ”
Yuan Hong was obviously very angry, and when he opened his mouth, he was scolding, and the script in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap": "What a thing!"
The audience was silent, and everyone didn't dare to take a breath.
"I'm sorry director, I'll correct it next time!"
Deng Shang was extremely ashamed, but he still bent down and bowed again and again to apologize.
He is very aggrieved, but the director is the king of the set, even if he is scolded, he can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, and he can't even show his anger, and his face is full of smiles.
Back in the corner, Deng Shang picked up the script and pondered it carefully.
Ge Qing, the assistant director who had a good relationship with him, came over and said in surprise: "Deng Shang, you are not a newcomer anymore, I used to see that you performed well in TV series, why can't you make movies?
"My bad. ”
Deng Shang's face flushed, "Give me a little time, I'll be silent a few more times, and I will definitely be able to do it next time." ”
Ge Qing looked at him: "It's a good time now, actors don't have to worry about filming, but if you want to go further, you still have to strive for excellence in your acting skills, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, relax your mind, maybe you will feel it." By the way, the little junior brother you recommended, I have already arranged it, and I will perform a spy later, and I will also have two lines. ”
When Deng Shang heard this, he suddenly perked up, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Brother Qingzi, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn back." ”
Ge Qing patted him on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.
There were only ten minutes to go, and Deng Shang was under a lot of pressure, so he hurriedly picked up the script and carefully pondered what the screenwriter wrote.
At this time, Xu Xian walked over from the side slowly, holding a can of ice Coke in his hand, looking at Deng Shang while sipping slowly, with some worries in his heart.
On the other hand, in order to expand his business, agent Tan Boyi bought some drinks out of his own pocket and had a relationship with some group leaders outside the set.
And his exclusive photographer Zhao Yao carried a hand-held camera and secretly shot not far away.
In this kind of place, Zhao Yao didn't dare to shoot openly, and the fierce appearance of the field next to him was not easy to fool at first glance.
Xu Xian walked around the set for more than half an hour, and slowly got some familiar feelings.
In his previous life, he had been crawling on major studios for nearly ten years, and he had already become familiar with this taste.
But from today's perspective, it feels fresh everywhere.
At this time, from the words of others, Xu Xian also learned that the "Dawn" that the crew was filming was a spy war movie.
This movie mainly tells about the underground party work of our party from 1939 to the founding of New China.
And the role played by this senior brother named Deng Shang is named Li Bo.
In 1939, after the radio station of our underground party organization in Shanhai City was destroyed by the enemy, Li Bo, political commissar of the radio station of Jiefang District, was ordered to come to Shanhai to rebuild our party's underground intelligence work in Shanhai.
During the day, he was a confectionery merchant, and at night, he hid in the attic to receive telegrams.
In order to further do a good job of secrecy, the party organization also arranged for He Lanfang, a female worker in the yarn factory, to pretend to be husband and wife with him.
And the two are at work, and they have true feelings and become real husband and wife.
Soon after, the Japanese discovered the radio station in the attic through a series of means, and Li Bo was arrested, and although he was subjected to inhuman torture, he remained tight-lipped so that the Japanese army thought that he was only working for a commercial radio station and released him.
In the blink of an eye, ten years later, the Japanese army announced its surrender, and after that, Li Bo launched an intelligence struggle with the Kuomintang.
When the Liberation War was about to be won, the radio signal was unfortunately discovered by the Kuomintang.
Although Li Bo received a notice of urgent retreat, at this time, he received two pieces of information, the importance of which was directly related to the victory or defeat of the next major battle.
What Deng Shang wants to show is that Li Bo, played by him, persuaded his wife to evacuate safely at this critical juncture, and quickly sent out two important pieces of information before the Kuomintang arrived.
......
"Brother Shang, didn't the director tell you the play?"
A soft voice startled Deng Shang, who was focused on studying the character script.
He turned his head and saw that handsome face, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But he knew that not far away at this moment, there must be Xu Xian's photographer shooting.
So it's not good to get angry, so he suppressed his anger and explained: "Director Yuan never gives a role to a supporting role, if it doesn't work, he will change people." ”
In fact, the role of Li Bo has a lot of room for acting skills. ”
Xu Xian looked at the content of the script: "It's just that the level of this screenwriter is a bit average, and the character of you is not very brilliant, Brother Shang, you can't be limited to the content of the script, actors with ideas, it is best to plump up the characters in the script alone, such as this scene, you promised your wife that you would definitely go to her, but you know in your heart that this is goodbye, so at this time, you talk too much, but it looks greasy, if it were me, I would use the action of hugging to cover up this kind of farewell in my heart......"
The screenwriter is average?
How dare this kid say it!
Deng Shang was taken aback!
But what's even more ridiculous is that he still has a faint sense of identity!
This kid is a bit of a doorman......
"Also, this last scene, you'd better work on it too. ”
Xu Xian simply took the script directly, glanced at it a few times, and knew the lines in his chest.
He shook his head and said: "According to the content of the script, after sending two important pieces of information, Li Bo was directly arrested by the Kuomintang spies who rushed in, but this is too monotonous, this should be the content of the sublimation of the plot." ”
"You're right. ”
Deng Shang looked at Xu Xian's serious appearance, and said helplessly: "But saying and doing are two different things, Xu Xian, you haven't stepped into this industry yet, and the actor industry is not as simple as you ordinary people think......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Xian holding the script, and while reading, he explained: "Let's look at the character setting of the script first, Li Bo you play should be a person with beliefs and ideals, and a person who is willing to sacrifice for the doctrine he believes in, such a person, his attitude towards life must be calm and calm." In the face of the turbulent revolutionary life and the sinister environment of struggle, he will take the initiative to undertake arduous tasks for the sake of faith. ”
Therefore, whether it was the torture of the enemy or the coercion and inducement of the reactionaries, he always responded calmly, firm in his ideals, firm in his beliefs, fearless, and selfless in his public interest. ”
"And your performance has too many traces of drama, I think that's why the bald director scolded you?"
"In my opinion, in many situations where the conflict is very strong, the human state should be very relaxed, or simply not very strong......
Unconsciously, Deng Shang was attracted by Xu Xian's explanation, and he was a little dumbfounded.
He's a professional, standard academic!
But now I feel that what Xu Xian said makes sense!
"So, the expression is a little more indifferent, not necessarily!"
This superficial calmness actually shows what magnificent inner emotions are behind it, is Li Bo afraid in the face of death? Of course he is afraid, but in this case, he can maintain a calm attitude, but it is even more precious. ”
"The so-called brave man is calm and calm. ”
Deng Shang was a little shocked, those words gathered into a river, and they came to him, bringing him a great impact.
He stammered: "What you said is not in line with the aesthetics of the current mainstream audience......"
With a calm face, can the audience see a bird?
This Xu Xian, thinking is still too simple!
He forcibly soothed himself.
Xu Xian seemed to see through his thoughts, shook his head and said: "A movie is a movie after all, don't be confused by the current anti-Japanese drama of joy and sorrow at every turn, and the performance state of emotions is spurted, this is a self-defeating and extremely unconfident performance, how can it fit with the calm and calm attitude of the heroes and sons and daughters of that era?"
In Xu Xian's view, although Deng Shang's performance is not superb, it is also in line with the level of a professional actor, although there are flaws in his acting skills, but he also belongs to some real talents.
He was just misled by the anti-Japanese drama that is currently popular in the TV industry.
In addition, there is no big director to give him a lecture, and he is not able to grasp the proportion by relying on personal comprehension alone, so he draws on the performance traces of many anti-Japanese drama actors, so the performance is slightly exaggerated.
Movies are heavy, they are ideological, and there is an absolute difference from TV dramas, if you can't grasp this point, TV drama actors will never be able to step into the ranks of movie actors.
