Verse 447: Being an actor
Shen Huan is very busy in the crew, because he is not only the director of the crew, but also the leading actor of the crew.
For example, he is now working as his leading actor.
This is a very large studio, and the green screen is also very large, in the crew, there are several studios similar to this, according to the specifications and the required scenes, the scale is also different, this is one of the larger ones.
Now this shed, arranged like a street, a group of people are standing across the street in front, there are more than thirty in total, people of all kinds of skin, different genders, and inconsistent dress, and in terms of overall clothing style, it is cold, there are no bright colors, and there is a little steampunk style. Coupled with the dim lighting effects on the scene, the whole style looks like a dilapidated and gray feeling.
Shen Huan was in the middle of the crowd, sitting in a wheelchair, and his style was the same as the others, the only difference was that his legs looked slightly incongruous, and at the same time, his legs were tightly wrapped with a layer of green skin.
When Shen Huan was an actor, it was Stan Montu who sat behind the monitor instead of him.
Although the director is an avid technology fan, this does not mean that he is not good at official shooting, and the two aspects do not conflict. In fact, in Shen Huan's opinion, Stan Muntu, who graduated from USC, has a very good directing skills, quite solid, and can complete his own tasks well. And because Stan Montu himself is also very interested in this movie, it is more serious and reassuring to do things.
“ACTION!”
With all aspects in place, Stan Muntu gave the order, and the filming of this scene began.
From the perspective of the time dimension in the play, the current scene is a scene at the beginning of the film, but because of Shen Huan's shooting schedule, the filming is already a month and a half after the filming of the new movie started. And what is being filmed now, a scene like this one now, is the existence of the "buffer time" for those new technologies to be urgently tested in Shen Huan's plan.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no special effects in the scene that buffers time, for example, this scene will also use a lot of special effects.
It looks like there are only about 20 actors on the scene, and the scene is very simple, but in terms of post-processing, the audience will see a densely populated future city through the current shooting.
Needless to say, the construction of the city is a place where the old techniques are used, and the studio will create a grand and real corner of the city for the performances of these actors. As for the "densely populated", it will use a patented technology of the Fansen studio.
This technique can be used in a similar way to "copying", by sampling sample actors, to "copy" hundreds of individual individuals.
This technology came to prominence in the Hollywood blockbuster "Boom in the Castle" two years ago, and thanks to this patented technology of the Vansen studio, they The most important thing is that even if you look at it second by second, you will find that each individual of those huge armies looks so real and credible, and there is no sense of disobedience in the trajectory of movement, and you can't see that most of them are actually computer-made dummies, so the scene at that time is even more shocking.
This patented technology is already very mature, so there is no need to worry about things going wrong, so it was put into the buffer time by Shen Huan.
Of course, in addition to the use of science and technology in movies, the performances of actors are naturally indispensable.
To be honest, Shen Huan's new movie does not require outstanding acting skills, but it is for others.
For Shen Huan, the difficulty of performing this drama is also not low.
Shen Huan faces the biggest problem in this play, that is, he needs to play two roles: one role, which is naturally the identity of the male protagonist he plays in the play, a retired soldier with paralysis of the lower limbs, and the other role is "an American man who makes people feel like they want to be close".
This is a problem with the film's market positioning and his apparent identity.
If these two aspects are unified, it is fine, if they are not, it will be really head-scratching, and this is the case now.
As far as this scene is concerned, because the character is positioned as a retired soldier who has been abandoned by society, the character himself must be resentful and angry towards the society, and at the same time, because of his physical condition, his feeling of being different from the people around him is more obvious.
In general, this character should be a lone wolf in the crowd, to be independent, to have that feeling of "so lively around, but I am so lonely".
For Shen Huan, it is not difficult to show this, but the difficulty is that he still has to "make people feel like they want to be close".
There is a contradiction between the two, which is logically unsmooth, and it is also the difficulty of the performance.
Many people think that the work of an actor is very simple, just act according to the script and the director, just like farming, planting is over, but this is not the case.
Being an actor is also a job that requires a lot of brains, for example, the situation that Shen Huan is facing now requires the actor to figure out how to perform. At this point, they are a bit like scientific researchers, who have a problem and have to find a way to solve it.
Of course, this is for real actors, some people who don't solve problems when they encounter them, and don't even bother to memorize their lines, and directly "12345678" the post-dubbing, after all, there are people who work hard and mess up in any industry.
Then Shen Huan figured out a way.
His method, to sum up, is the kind of feeling that the audience feels like they live next door to your house and used to be a good friend, but because of the encounter, it makes people feel that they want to continue to be close but they are a little afraid and feel distressed.
As soon as such a character profile comes out, the performance logic is smooth, but in terms of performance level and difficulty, it naturally increases geometrically.
But this is okay for Shen Huan.
After he shouted to start, he sat in a wheelchair like this, calmly looking at the camera, not saying a word, his eyes seemed to be empty, but not completely empty, this kind of proportion is very delicate.
The surrounding extras are much more lively, according to what Shen Huan explained before, they are doing their own things, some are listening to music, some are talking, some are talking on the phone, under the movement and stillness, the contrast is obvious.
After the green light came on, the crowd began to move and crossed the road in the direction of the camera, and there were also extras walking opposite in the direction of the camera.
Shen Huan shook his wheelchair with his arms and moved forward in the crowd.
His upper body swayed slightly from the exertion, and his legs were still in the slightly strange position, and he didn't react to their upper body movements, as if they didn't belong to him.
The speed of shaking the wheelchair is naturally slower than that of normal people, and the people standing next to him have surpassed him, but Shen Huan is not in a hurry, he just rocks the wheelchair forward at his own speed in the crowd, and his movement of shaking the wheelchair is slightly different, when each wheel is shaken to the front, the hand will come out slightly forward for a short distance, it seems to be a little harder, and it seems to be venting anger, this simple action makes him look very moving, more moving than the normal passers-by around him, but his face is still expressionless, his eyes seem to be looking ahead, and he seems to be looking into the distance through the crowd, which makes him look very quiet, more quiet than everyone around him。
This made Stanmuntu's eyes light up as he sat behind the monitor.
Although I have seen some of Shen Huan's performances in the previous filming, Shen Huan's previous performances were all playing a member of a new race, equipment, scenes and other reasons, so Stan Muntu did not have a very clear understanding of their director's acting skills. Now after seeing Shen Huan's performance, he realized that their director turned out to be such an actor who can act.
His eyes were as if they could speak, his expression was so calm, and the emotions in his eyes were so rich.
