Chapter 44: Everyday Life
Xiao Luzi is not good at training actors.
At least he's not professional, he will only analyze the script with the actors, and then let the actors come over and over again...
The advantage of this is, of course, that the actor has more opportunities to experiment a little bit, and to explain everything to the actor thoroughly, to a certain extent, it deprives the actor of part of the creative space and freedom.
The disadvantage is that it tortures the actor a bit, and the actor who works with him must have acting skills and understand what he wants.
I heard that the most awesome person in the circle, who is good at training actors, is Brother Chen Kai, saying that when he tells the actors, from the story background to the performance method to the character analysis, he reveals in all directions...
I just don't understand, why didn't I bring out a decent newcomer?
"White Porridge Pop", didn't bring out his son?
Fan Bingbing has acted in Chen Kaige's plays, and also filmed pants works, "Mobile Phone" has won a bunch of nominations, and even won the Hundred Flowers Award, "Pan Jinlian" has also won a bunch of awards, but Mao's "Zhao's Orphan" didn't get anything?
In fact, to the level of a great director, the resources at hand are sufficient, and he is generally more willing to use the best photography, the best actors, and the best technology to serve the expression of his own ideas.
In terms of excavating the connotation of characters, Lao Mouzi, Xing Ye and Sunglasses King are professional, they have Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Mo Wenwei, Zhang Baizhi, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Guorong...
Lao Chen simply picked up ready-made.
And "Fengyue" and "Jing Ke Assassinate the King of Qin", Gong Li is obviously at a loss, floating on the surface - exaggerated drama-style performances!
The director who can toss Gong Li to this extent, Lao Chen is the only one.
actually praised him for being 'the best director in the two sides of the strait and three places to provoke actors'...
That's not how to eat it!
The director, according to the noun explanation: it is necessary to "direct the performance", so the director must also have a complete understanding of "the context of the story and the theme cognition", "the character's personality and reaction", and then the guidance of the actor will have a positive and positive impact.
This shows that training the acting skills of actors is also part of the director's job!
The director's job in the crew is actually to instruct the actors to perform and coordinate the film.
Coordinating a film is about thinking about what the audience thinks, and you have to make the audience like your movie.
This Lu Xiaoran has an auxiliary device, not too worried, and directing the performance is also very simple - he is not professional enough, so let the professional come!
Zhang Guoli is a good teacher, so please ask him to help...
As for Sun Honglei, you see, the crew of "Border Storm", the director, screenwriter, and filming conditions are all perfect?
How can everything be perfect?
Sometimes there are some difficulties that are not a bad thing, such as the actor who does not meet the psychological expectations and so on...
……
Lao Cao and Group Feng feel that the crew of "Border Storm" is quite good.
Their so-called good, in addition to the daily life standards of the crew, the most important thing is that the relationship between the actors is also quite harmonious.
After the play, if you have nothing to do, you can get together together...
It's really getting together and then talking nonsense.
In addition to talking about movies and acting, sometimes Lu Xiaoran will join in, but if he doesn't say a few words, he will be called away by the producer...
"'Stone' seems to have been nominated for Best Asian Film at the Academy Awards?"
"I didn't win the prize again!"
"The winner of the award is "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone"
"Lao Mouzi's play?"
"Yes!"
"Did Lao Mouzi go to the scene?"
"I shouldn't have got, he's still busy with the Olympics!"
"Eh, why do you think Hong Kong actors can eat so well?"
“... You... What do you say?"
"Well acted?"
"! just a few actors coming and going..."
It happened that Lu Xiaoran came over and joined the discussion: "The main thing is that Hong Kong movies are better than us, and most of the current market is full of Hong Kong commercial films, and the audience accepts their set of things." ”
"For a long time, mainland movies have been good at prose and even poetic dialogues, and they have a sense of beauty, but they are aesthetically tired after watching too much, and Hong Kong movies are more entertaining..."
"Although the film shooting policy has been relaxed indefinitely, and the rules and gameplay of the domestic commercial market have gradually been clarified, at least for ten years, the country will still have to provide those Hong Kong stars with a board. ”
"However, I don't look down on the actors in Hong Kong in my heart, and I don't have two more arms and legs than us, so why should I have an extra salary?"
"Ahem..."Zhang Guoli said: "You can't say that, people are famous!"
"What's the fame? "Golden Armor" doesn't need Zhou Runfa, and if you change Jiang Wen, you won't get 200 million box office?"
"People are not looking at the movies that Zhou Runfa watched, otherwise why would "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Bulletproof Warrior Monk" not work at the mainland box office?"
"The box office appeal is a fart, the publicity is done well, there are surprises in the plot, with the current market conditions, 20 million to 50 million is a very normal data!"
"So, do you think the box office of "Border" can be 50 million?"
Huang Bo interrupted Xiao Luzi's bragging declaration...
"Eh, I didn't say it, "Border Storm" is not a normal commercial movie, to some extent, this is an experimental film!"
Xiao Luzi is also working hard...
But he said very strongly: "You wait for my next work, and I guarantee a box office of more than 50 million!"
"Damn, the script of your next work is out?"
"Well, I have written a total of five scripts, "Border Storm" is the most mature, the next one is more entertainment, and the commercial attributes are heavier..."
"Where's the script?"
How do I know where the script is?
Lu Xiaoran's face remained unchanged: "... How can I carry such a precious thing with me at home?"
"By the way, your "Tale of Two Donkeys" is coming soon, right?"
"Well," Lu Xiaoran suddenly looked at Ning Hao affectionately, and the latter's face changed: "You don't want to ask for leave, do you?
"A week... I'll have to do some propaganda work..."
"You're the director... You're gone..."
"What kind of director can't direct, this movie, everyone works together, I'll be responsible for shouting a click, besides, you know all the shots, you are the producer, you don't help to sit in charge, who will help?"
“... I've been cheated by you!"
"Anyway, your "Racing" has only been started for a month, so you should practice your hands!"
Talking about this, Sun Honglei suddenly spoke: "Do you need our help?"
"No, that movie is an absurd comedy, Huayi is angry with me, five million box office can recover the cost, their distribution strength is enough, five million should not be a problem!"
Lu Xiaoran still has some confidence in "The Story of Two Donkeys", although it is a little divided, but there are still jokes, with the current market capacity, it is still very easy to brush down 5 million...
Don't ask for a big explosion, but ask for a return!
Zhang Guoli was about to say something, and suddenly smiled: "... Our sisters are here!"
"Sister flowers?"
A few men turned around, and Tangtang and Yang Xiaomi walked over hand in hand: "What are you talking about?"
