Chapter 59: Acting Collision (8/8)
(Friendly reminder: this chapter is well written)
Yakushima is the southernmost island of neon Kyushu, and is often referred to as the "last secret place of neon".
Hayao Miyazaki's anime Princess Mononoke was set in Yakushima.
The scenery is very much like a picture, according to Huang Bo's original words: streams, waterfalls, caves, cliffs, strange rocks, yellow beaches, black beaches, everything you want for "A Good Show", it has it all.
That's right, Shen Ming flew to Neon and joined the group to shoot "A Good Show".
……
"A Good Show", his role is called Ma Xiaoming.
It is the biggest reversal of the characters in the whole play, from the early Xiaobai to the final boss...
It is clearly written in the script, and enough hints are given in the early stage:
For example, when rowing to find a way, he asked Ma Jin, "Why did you take me out?"
Ma Jinhui: It's not that you are hard-hitting, you have been beaten by the "third uncle" since you were a child, and most of you haven't died.
From this sentence, it is revealed that he did not grow up in a healthy environment, but why does he look very kind, it is very likely that in this extreme environment, in order to please others, Ma Xiaoming is very likely to split into another dark personality, and in order to live a better life, the dark side is hidden.
And at the beginning, he always followed Ma Jin and never communicated with anyone else at all.
Although he is not good at communication, but his hands-on ability is extremely strong, repairing the car, and then Mr. Zhang ordered him to repair the tour guide car, it is certain that his hands-on ability is super strong, and it also paves the way for the generator to be made later...
Summary: In the early stage, he was a kind person who may have low self-esteem, low social skills, and was not looked down upon in this society.
Then, after being stranded on a desert island, Ma Jin's words and deeds forced him to blacken!
The first step is to hide the truth about winning the lottery from him, and the trust is broken, which makes Ma Xiaoming doubt human nature;
The second step, since Ma Jin's lottery dream was extinguished, he no longer had any illusions about the world, and chose to change his life and revenge on the spot, which had a huge impact on Ma Xiaoming, and the latter would say: Be ruthless, more ruthless than others!
But Shen Ming didn't think it was enough, and there was no plot that was obviously hinted at to the audience.
Movies are not the same as words, they are not particularly climactic, and they are hard to remember!
A single line of your words can make people understand that you have a tendency to blacken?
And I always feel that the blackening of Ma Xiaoming's character is a bit like Ma Jin's excitement, not that he is originally this kind of person!
persuaded Huang Bo to add a dialogue between the two:
"Why do you watch "Liancheng Jue" again?
"He is too powerful, evil and awe-inspiring, a dignified villain, a bright and upright villain!"
Clearly tell the audience that Ma Xiaoming worships the ultimate evil!
The Blood Knife Ancestor in "Liancheng Jue" represents the ultimate and dignified evil!
……
Huang Bo's performance has reached the level of subtraction!
It's the legendary "don't add entities if you don't have to", that is, he speaks without superfluous words, and performs without superfluous movements...
This requires the cooperation of the screenwriter, and if the screenwriter writes enough information in his lines, there will be no 'this, that' or similar corresponding words.
If a detailed action can show feelings, emotions and situations, don't add too many actions.
This is when he came up with a performance method called "Under the Ice" when he won the award, it is called, minimalism.
Take Song Tongtong as an example, she already has a routine in acting, and she will definitely add a sentence or two of 'oops' or 'cough (hai)'
After Huang Bo found this way of acting, he felt that he had discovered a new world!
So, the filming of "A Good Show" asked Shen Ming to do so.
Shen Ming was definitely not happy at first.
He has his own set of logic, theories.
And he felt that he was not bad at acting, when he was a young follower, he followed behind Huang Bo, and his whole body was lying down, especially atrophied...
You must know that Shen Ming is nearly 8 cm taller than Huang Bo, but under the camera, the height of the two is about the same!
These are his tricks!
But when performing, Huang Bo's requirement for Shen Ming is to be clean!
Emphasize: don't design actions to express mood or anything like that...
"Then I can't act!"
"Why can't you act?"
Shen Ming felt that Huang Bo didn't believe him a little: "You just let me go at my own pace, can't you?"
"You try the method I taught you, it's definitely more cinematic than you play it now!"
Huang Bo now pursues a cinematic sense instead of the natural sense he used to have...
He felt that he had improved, but Shen Ming felt that this was a regression!
Acting, of course, is the closer to life, the better, it's best to make people feel that you are not playing a character, you have already lived this role!
"Some characters need that, but some characters don't, "A Good Play" is a fable, do you know the fable?"
"Then tell me, what is the tone of Ma Xiaoming's character?"
"Humanity, real humanity!"
"Isn't it still true!"
“… I don't want to feel real, I want a little bit of a false feeling!"
"Then you say the fish I ate is real or fake?"
directly brought the half-eaten raw fish to Huang Bo, and the latter's angry face twitched: "... I can't tell you, you just do what I say!"
"Yo, I've taken out the director's style again, you said that earlier!"
Shen Ming was very unhappy, and then changed the deduction method...
Bo Ge is a director after all...
……
Since the two landed on the island, they have begun to quarrel, and they really quarrel with each other.
Huang Bo couldn't convince Shen Ming, and Shen Ming didn't want to go against his ideas.
There are a lot of crew members and actors, and when they often shoot their scenes, they consciously watch...
Wang Xun: "Tut, these two people have touched together, this scene is good!"
“… They're not going to fight, are they?"
Retreat was a little worried.
"No, how is that possible?"
Wang Xun waved his hand: "Shen Ming, this kid has a lot of ideas, but as long as he is in the crew, he will definitely listen to the director!"
"Then why did he quarrel with the director?"
"The ideas don't match, the ideas about the performance don't match... This is normal, I've quarreled with Huang Bo a few times before!"
“… I don't understand them..."
Shu Qi shook her head, she was thinking that since Shen Ming had to listen to Huang Bo every time he came to the end, why not just listen to him from the beginning?
The third melon-eating crowd joined in: "Brother Bo also attaches too much importance to this play..."
"He felt that he had found the true meaning of acting, and he wanted to tell Shen Ming about it, but Shen Ming didn't agree with his theory..."
The baby also joined in: "I'm more concerned about whether I can finish filming the island scene in a month!"
“… It should be fine, I'll talk to them tonight!"
Shen Ming over there compromised again: "Okay, do as you say!"
“… Camera preparation. ”
Huang Bo finally returned to the director's seat...
