Chapter 113: Experience the Character
The so-called "no turning back arrow", approaching the Spring Festival, there are more and more companies on holiday, but the set of "Life Show" is a completely different scene.
Since his debut in Hengcheng, Lin Xiaoguang spent the New Year in the crew for the first time, and it was also the first time that he did not spend Chinese New Year's Eve at home, and he could only call his parents thousands of miles away on the phone to greet the New Year.
Also unable to go home because of the new drama is director Huo Jianqi, because the crew of "Life Show" stipulates that there is only one day off on the first day of the Lunar New Year, ZQ is 108,000 miles away from the capital, Huo Jianqi is the director, so naturally he can't take the lead in absenteeism from work, and he can only obediently stay in ZQ on standby.
Fortunately, there is also a Tao Hong in the crew of "Life Show" is a native ZQ actress, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as the host and film producer, she took the initiative to treat a group of main creative staff of the crew, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the crew re-engaged in new filming work with a new look.
In other words, in the matter of acting, Lin Xiaoguang is not an actor from a professional class after all, and he has a lot of expectations and worries about the "marginal role" he is about to play.
Lin Xiaoguang's scene officially started filming on February 27, and after the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the next few days, he never helped the team again, but spent most of his time in the hotel provided by the crew to ponder the role.
It was already midnight, Lin Xiaoguang returned to the hotel, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and kept thinking about how to play the role of the addict "Come Shuangjiu" well......
After tossing for a long time, I really figured out some taste.
Before, he only felt that he lacked a sense of familiarity with such marginal characters, but now, he found that what he lacked was even more the fit for the character.
In fact, many times, in order to play a role well, an actor needs to experience life well.
Actor, wipe yourself clean, change to another identity, throw yourself into a strange drug rehabilitation center, and face your sister, you have to accurately perform the most fitting image in the film.
What to do?
The best prelude is to experience life.
Lin Xiaoguang knew this, but he hadn't tried it at all, because he had basically made costume films before, and he couldn't really travel to ancient times to experience life, so he was a little bit of a bull for a while.
In fact, it's very funny to think about, think about the play "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" he filmed before, it seems that he also needs to experience life, but he doesn't need to:
For example, Wu Boping in "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", his most brilliant scene must be the rape of Anqi played by Li Xiaoran in the finale, but Lin Xiaoguang can't just experience the feeling of being a rape just because he wants to play this scene well, right?
……
The current one has been for a long time, hey, it is even more tricky than Wu Boping, it shoots addicts, and it shoots addicts in drug rehabilitation centers, which is a bit difficult.
In fact, there are many actors in the entertainment industry who specialize in experiencing life in order to be able to act well, after all, experiencing life is the basis of actors' performances, and in the sixties, there will be a movie for a year or two, and people will play farmers, and they will really go to the countryside, plant land for three months, and know how to cut the grass and how to plant seedlings.
What's more, Lin Xiaoguang once heard Chen Ying say that she has a senior sister named Zhu Jie in Chinese opera, who is a classmate of Xu Fan, Chen Xiaoyi, Jiang Shan, and Hu Jun, and is a beautiful girl with great acting talent.
She should have a good future, in the movie "Growing Up", she played the heroine, playing a drug addict, who would have expected that in the process of filming the movie, Zhu Jie in order to find a feeling, fake the play and become addicted to drugs, but before the movie was released, she had embarked on the road of no return due to drug overdose.
In September 1997, Zhu Jie left this noisy world, and the autopsy report showed that Zhu Jie, who was only 28 years old, died of a drug overdose, and she only took a wrong step to fall into the abyss, and finally paid the price of her life......
Now, the same problem is in front of Lin Xiaoguang, although Lin Xiaoguang is not smart, but he is not really stupid, he will not be stupid enough to take drugs or something in order to play a good show, even if he wants to play a young man who has lost his footing and go to a romantic place to experience life, he has to think about it, let alone take drugs that harm others and himself.
Lin Xiaoguang took over "Life Show" in December, and it started in January, and it took nearly two months to spend a lot of time figuring out the characters.
After all, although the role of "Lai Shuangjiu" is special, according to the description of the script, it is also a bit difficult to perform the essence of the role.
Although Lin Xiaoguang has not taken acting classes and has no way to experience life, he is also an experienced actor, and it is no problem for him to figure out the role, plus the crew has Huo Jianqi and some veteran actors from professional classes to guide him, so he quickly understood the character of "Lai Shuangjiu", as well as the expression and tone he should have when he spoke.
First of all, Lai Shuangjiu is a drug addict who is locked up in a drug rehabilitation center, this kind of person is rare, although Lin Xiaoguang is not too familiar with the cognition of this group, but he also has a little understanding of the side;
Secondly, he is the younger brother of Shuangyang, his external image, Chi Li in the original book is expressed in indirect and direct ways "The four brothers and sisters who came to the house, the eldest brother came to Shuangyuan and the second sister came to Shuangyuan to resemble Shuangyuan, the eldest sister came to Shuangyang and the younger brother came to Shuanglong to resemble each other", and Lin Xiaoguang played "Jiujiu" is the most beautiful character in the family, with black eyes in grapes, a small white face, and heroic sword eyebrows, not only has a positive face, but also has a graceful posture, charming eyes, and is simply not picky.
With such a good-looking character, Lin Xiaoguang is quite in line.
Finally, according to the script, when dealing with his younger brother Lai Shuangjiu, who was not successful, Lai Shuangyang showed his doting. For her brother's drug abuse, Lai Shuangyang did not blame too much, she handed over the hotel she had spent more than ten years with hard-earned money to her younger brother who had no serious occupation to operate, in order to make Lai Shuangjiu, who had not completely quit drug addiction, slowly adapt to it and not die, she spent her heart and soul to provide him with drug funds, hoping that her brother's drug rehabilitation would be effective and he could start a family.
Obviously, Lai Shuangjiu is an overly spoiled boy, so when he comes to Shuangyang to visit the drug rehabilitation center, he will definitely not tremble, and even he feels that he can't quit gambling addiction, which is the mistake of his sister Lai Shuangjiu.
Think about it, when he gradually found the character characteristics of Shuangjiu, another week passed.
On February 27, Lin Xiaoguang came to the filming site.
In this scene, the heroine Lai Shuangyang took a cableway car to visit her younger brother in the drug rehabilitation center - Lai Shuangjiu, logically speaking, such a plot does not need so many staff to participate at all, but the entire "Life Show" crew has more than 100 people.
As a director from BJ Film School, Huo Jianqi's images present Lin Xiaoguang's visual experience is not so "natural", Lin Xiaoguang found in front of the camera that there are strong traces of academic school in "Life Show".
For example, the shot from the ropeway car downwards is obviously a much cheaper technique than aerial photography, only to see a section of the ZQLC area appear in the slow-moving lens, coupled with the gray fog mixed from time to time, a kind of melancholy suddenly enters the audience's nerves with this shot.
At this time, Tao Hong, who played Lai Shuangjiu in the cableway, was also in this mood, going down to visit his younger brother Lai Shuangjiu played by Lin Xiaoguang.
In his "Suzhou Creek", the beginning of the gray lens shows the banks of Suzhou Creek, but Lou Ye's shooting angle is not limited by the cableway car, he boldly adopts techniques such as overhead shooting, panning the mirror, and upward shooting, but in terms of performance intention, he and Huo Jianqi are trying their best to show the historical grievances carried by the photographed objects.
Although "Life Show" has not clearly expressed the grievances of the protagonists, director Huo Jianqi makes the audience realize the melancholy buried in the fog of the city through the things around them, and from these things, people also see their own lives.
followed the crew to shoot next to the cableway car for about half an hour, seeing that his scene was about to start filming, Lin Xiaoguang found a place to meditate, in order to enter the atmosphere of his role as soon as possible.
"Haha! Xiaoguang ........."
was about to enter the play, the mobile phone rang, Lin Xiaoguang connected, it was Li Xiaoran.
This sister only cares about silly fun.
"What's wrong with Sister Xiao Ran, what's so happy about you?"
“……… No, a few days ago, "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" was launched, guess what the ratings are?"
Li Xiaoran on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his excitement, Lin Xiaoguang estimated that the ratings should not be bad.
"Ten percent?"
Lin Xiaoguang casually guessed a data.
“……… Ten percent, do you think we are filming "Huanzhu Gege"?" Li Xiaoran said angrily, she didn't expect Lin Xiaoguang to dare to guess so much.
Five days ago, "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" premiered on Three David TV, and the ratings of the three channels broke one after another, directly winning the average rating of 1.6 percent, and the average rating of the highest Guang Satellite TV even reached 2.1 percent.
has just started broadcasting for a few days to have such results, Li Xiaoran, as the main actor of the show, is the first time that a new play has received such affirmation, and he will naturally feel happy!
"Sister Xiao Ran, not even five percent, what is there to be happy about, we have such a well-made, literary and artistic painting style, beautiful and heavy, from the actors to the plot to the soundtrack, from the appearance to the acting skills, it is a drama close to full score, why is there no ideal big hit!"
teasingly, Lin Xiaoguang was about to hang up the phone.
