Chapter 20 Lao Tzu is not available
"The Tuner", a 13-minute plot, tells a suspenseful story.
For short films, it must be the essence that is concentrated!
The Tuner does this perfectly.
The actor believes that his acting skills are flawless, and that is because he has not met anyone who really wants to challenge his acting skills before.
The dancing dancer may be an exhibitionist herself;
The waiter in the restaurant was not interested in whether the tuner was blind or not, because there was no conflict of interest with him;
The protagonist did spend a lot of effort learning how to be a blind man, and his acting skills were more than enough to cope with the previous roles, but it wasn't until the last day of his life that he encountered a real challenge...
The actor is confident in his acting skills, and then dies in his own acting skills.
The plot of an O. Henry-esque novel.
The so-called "O. Henry-style plot" refers to the fact that the masters of the short story often make the psychological situation of the characters change unexpectedly at the end of the plot, or make the protagonist's fate suddenly reversed, with unexpected results, which is both unexpected and reasonable.
The most typical is "The Gift of the Magi"...
The plot of "The Tuner" is like that.
Including the story he told his boss: the story of the Taj Mahal...
Ajman Banu, a woman from Persia, beautiful, intelligent, and versatile, has been in the palace for 19 years.
Shah Jahan named her "Taj Mahal", which means "the crown of the court", which can be described as the favor of three thousand. Who knew that Taj died after giving birth to her 14th child. In order to mourn his deceased wife, King Shah Jahan decided to build the most beautiful mausoleum in the world for his beautiful wife, and he called in the most famous architect of the time.
The king asked the architect, "Are you married?"
"Yes, my king. ”
"Do you love her?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, she is all I have, and I love her more than anything. ”
"Very well, then I will put her to death, and you will know how much pain I have, and you will be able to build the most magnificent tomb in the world for my wife. ”
The emperor executed the wife of the architect, who built the Taj Mahal.
The moral of the story is...
Probably to drag on for a long time... Well, it should explain the purpose of pretending to be blind: a blind person is able to gain the sympathy of others for the weak, and also make others let their guard down, and at the same time see many things that are not known.
But what does it have to do with the Taj Mahal?
……
The shooting location is a room, and there are only two characters, Lu Yawen and Zeng Li.
Lu Yawen plays the piano, Zeng Li dances...
Let them walk through the play twice and determine the area where they will perform.
The main photographer Fu Guangsheng put adhesive tape on the ground and marked it according to the actor's position, which is a reminder to the actor, so as not to let the actor go out of the camera while acting.
Then, it was the director's lecture, and the two stood in front of the piano and listened to Zhang Junsheng analyze the character's psychological state...
"The dancer you play should be an exhibitionist, so it's best not to take off naked,"
Zeng Li's face was a little bad, and Zhang Junsheng hurriedly changed his words: "Three points can not be revealed, and our lens can be blurred..."
It's like this, once an actress has a dew point, especially in China, it is a stain for a lifetime!
Looking at the film and television industry, let's just say that there are many mainland actresses who shoot passion scenes, but there are only a few who really show their points.
On the one hand, censorship is in the way, and on the other hand, the subjective reluctance of the actress is also an important reason.
Times are changing, and so is the market landscape.
In the eighties and nineties of the last century, the wholesale of stars in Xiangjiang became fewer and fewer after two thousand years - except for a few newcomers who sacrificed their lives to fight for the top!
Taking it off once is a lifelong stain...
Even if it is the goddess of soup, it is not completely whitewashed, and many viewers' computers have collected uncut versions, not for anything else, just to observe the high-end paper clip position and the two black grapes from time to time...
"That's fine!"
Zeng Li nodded...
"Okay, you two go down the show, I'll take a look!"
The two actors walked the show, and at the same time, the palm lamp began to be lit.
Film lighting is a very complex process, which requires the brightness of the metering meter and the color temperature of the metering.
Let's put it this way, lighting is the slowest and most time-consuming, and it takes about 45 minutes to set up a panorama and 15 minutes to set up a close-up shot!
This shot needs to show the picture seen through the male protagonist, so it's best to have a slightly dim white light...
Zhang Junsheng watched Lu Yawen's performance a few times and was very dissatisfied...
He acted too deliberately, and he didn't pretend to be blind at all, or he didn't grasp that scale...
Although the actor is pretending to be blind, he believes in his acting skills, Lu Yawen's performance... Too rough...
Not to mention zooming in on the close-up, it's a problem to look at it now!
Lu Yawen was also embarrassed, he was not blind, or rather, he had never had much contact with blind people, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation!
Moreover, during the class, the teacher said that there is a process of relaxation and concentration in acting.
If you don't relax, you can't make movements, and if you don't concentrate, it's difficult to release.
Each actor releases different points, some are shapes, some are demeanors, like Chen Daoming focuses on the form, and each character walks in a different posture.
Lu Yawen practiced his eyes, his eyes were very divine, and when he was acting in dramas, he was used to letting his eyes play first...
Now let him play a fake blind man, he doesn't know how to play ...
He is not Sun Honglei, and he can tell the director very loudly: I have five ways to act in this scene, and then the director picks out the most effective one among them.
……
"Yawen, acting is not a deliberate imitation, that is the lowest stage!"
Zhang Junsheng patiently talked about the play, after all, he was an actor he picked himself, no matter how it is, he has to support it to the end...
"On the first day of the acting class, the teacher should have said: acting is to convey the meaning you want to express to the audience through your expressions, voices, and bodies. ”
"But, I can't catch that point..."
Lu Yawen looked depressed...
"The blind man is not a dead man, his mind, his emotions, his soul are still beating with life... In this way, we don't have to deliberately imitate, you can think of yourself as blind!"
To put it bluntly, Lu Yawen's acting skills have not yet reached the time when he has formed fixed acting skills, so he needs to mobilize all his experience to play the blind, but what he thinks in his heart is 'My role is playing the blind man, so I can't play too much...
As everyone knows, even if he really plays a blind man, it is very different!
"Is that okay?"
"Try it!"
Lu Yawen thought for a few minutes, sat in front of the piano, and was about to play, and then Zhang Junsheng's mobile phone rang...
it!
Such a nice atmosphere!
Who?
I took out my phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number...
Just hang up...
"Come on, let's go through the play again... Who is this horse, is he sick?"
The mobile phone rang again, and this time Zhang Junsheng connected, and the other side first laughed heartily, and then said, "Is it Mr. Zhang? I'm Huang Zhonglei..."
"I'm not free!"
Shut down directly!
