Chapter 7: Despair
Xiang Zhong may not know that the mood fluctuations in Lin Lei's heart are more violent than they seem on the surface.
An ordinary actor who uses factors such as demeanor, movements, lines, and eyes to show the characteristics of the character is already a qualified or even excellent actor.
But he didn't expect to see in a newcomer the skill of using lighting, shadows, and depth to render the atmosphere of the shot and show the characteristics of the characters.
As the assistant director and executive director of the crew, Lin Lei is very clear that when arranging a shot, it is necessary to consider arranging the shot according to the characteristics of the characters and the content of the story.
Which angle of the lens, which direction of the light, which position of the position, can make the picture more actionable, infectious, coherent, and can achieve the expected visual and emotional effects.
These are all skills that must be mastered as a director, but Tema's Xu Changge is not a director!
It's not even an old actor, he's just a newcomer, how can he understand this, it's really hell.
"Keep looking. Du Shan said in a deep voice, after Xu Changge started to perform, his eyes never left Xu Changge.
After Du Shan's reminder, everyone once again focused their attention on the two people who were performing.
Audition scene.
Xu Rongjian and Gao Ran have arrived at the doorstep.
"Eh, why is the door of your house open?" asked Xu Rongjian, played by Guan Xueming, suspiciously.
As soon as the words came out, Guan Xueming seemed to think of something, his steps stiffened, and then he stepped forward quickly, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Nice, in place. Du Shan and the others nodded silently.
In that context, there are mixed fish and dragons, and the door will be closed without special circumstances, especially if there are family members who are involved in the gang.
In just a few seconds, Guan Xueming's performance is layered, natural, and just right to show the emotional changes of the characters, which is indeed commendable.
If this effect can be achieved during the actual shooting, this shot will be over, so what about Xu Changge's performance......
When Du Shan and the others looked at Xu Changge, they were obviously stunned.
Before that, Xu Changge didn't show too much emotion except for his cold face, and he couldn't see too much acting skills.
In terms of the presence of the picture, Xu Changge is obviously inferior to Guan Xueming.
But when he stepped out of Guan Xueming's shadow, the aura of the whole person changed dramatically.
As soon as you scan the whole picture, you are unconsciously attracted to him.
It seems that everything else has a reduced sense of existence, including Guan Xueming, who performed well before!
The grim expression on his face froze there, and his calm and calm eyes were like pebbles thrown into the calm surface of a lake, and suddenly there were waves, and his heart palpitated.
Obviously, he also thought of that terrible situation, but in his heart he preferred to believe that it was just a momentary oversight on the part of Wu Li.
After a pause for two seconds, Xu Changge stepped forward slowly, he wanted to be as unhurried as usual, but his unconsciously quickened cadence told everyone that he was upset.
pushed open the door and crossed Guan Xueming, who was stunned, and the scene of his wife Wu Li's death at home was completely revealed in front of Gao Ran played by Xu Changge.
What he saw in front of him had a huge impact on him, so that his mind was empty for that moment, and he didn't even have time to feel desperate and painful.
And just two seconds later, as if a sharp blade had been plunged into his heart, he woke up from the frozen state of time - it was a nightmare!
This scene is presented in five judges...... It is very graphic and infectious.
Du Shan and the others had no way to describe their inner feelings, and it stands to reason that he would never know the impact on Xu Changge's heart.
But the slight tremor of the body, the unnatural twitching of the fingers, the drastic change in demeanor...... All kinds of details told them about Xu Changge's psychological changes at this time.
What shocked them even more was that these movements seemed to be the most instinctive reaction of the body in response to emotional changes, and there was not the slightest trace of performance!
After trembling, Xu Changge's grim expression began to thaw, and despair and pain crept up his cheeks.
He staggered forward, his whole body was free, his strength seemed to be drained in that moment, and his trembling lips could not make any sound.
Finally, Xu Changge came to the place where his wife Wu Li was lying.
He knelt down in front of him with a "bang", which made Guan Xueming, who was on the side, unconsciously twitch the corners of his mouth, isn't this Tema painful?
He didn't see Xu Changge's performance in the back, but Xu Changge knelt down like this and made him jump out of the play.
I should do my best to perform with you, and Guan Xueming has to finish this plot.
The next step is the non-physical performance, which tests the actor's ability to "construct a scene" in his heart.
Xu Changge didn't have anything in front of him, but it seemed that his wife Wu Li was really lying there.
His hand reached down softly, through the back of his neck.
The posture and movement of the palms spread out, it was he who gently helped her up.
His eyes widened, the muscles of his eyes tensed, and he stared at his eyes with a glimmer of hope in the intense pain, hoping that everything in front of him was an illusion.
But the reality is cruel after all.
All the judges, including Guan Xueming, were attracted by Xu Changge, who was performing.
After a while, Xu Changge began to make a slight, short, unconscious sound.
The choppy and incoherent sound was like the last moan of a dying old man, making people shudder to listen to.
And Xu Changge's face began to turn pale, losing his blood, and his facial muscles were trembling slightly......
Everything is so real, as if everything is happening.
I try to confirm that what I see is an illusion, from a "hopeful look" to a "dead eyes" that are aware of reality and grief are beginning to accumulate.
The slightly trembling muscles, the increasingly pale face, the sluggish and desperate expression, and the miserable and inexplicable moan......
Every detail, every action has been done to the extreme.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" Everyone's eyes widened, not wanting to miss a single detail!
Du Shan was even more surprised in his heart.
From the beginning of Xu Changge's performance, Du Shan knew that he was looking away.
But even if he raised his psychological expectations again, Xu Changge's performance still exceeded his expectations.
This Xu Changge's acting skills ...... Even far more than Guan Xueming, who he had high hopes for!
In the past 20 years in the industry, he has seen countless actors, many of whom are old actors with superb acting skills, but he has never seen anyone who can perform the details so well.
No one can bring him such a great sense of substitution, and every frame in the picture can make him feel subtle emotional changes.
He's not acting out despair, he's just despairing!
The despair of a poor man who has lost his beloved!
