Chapter 35: The Return of Gao Ran (3/3)
Ten minutes flashed by, and Xu Changge was still stunned.
Du Shan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Changge, try again?"
"Director," Xu Changge looked up at Du Shan and said sincerely, "It may embarrass you, I want to postpone the filming of my scene for a day, I need a day to get back to my previous state." ”
This is actually a very excessive request.
In the crew, there is a fixed shooting plan every day, which is planned according to the cost of capital and time.
The one-day postponement of filming delays the time of the entire crew, and at the same time increases the cost of filming.
Generally speaking, even the protagonist can't change the shooting plan at will, but looking at Xu Changge's firm and pleading eyes, Du Shan hesitated.
In fact, Xu Changge's state shooting at this time can also be done, but compared with the amazing performance before, it is still too far behind.
Thinking back to the previous shooting, he gradually had the answer in his heart.
Du Shan pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you achieve the same level as before?"
Xu Changge nodded seriously, he had already figured out the crux of the problem, and naturally he had the confidence to overcome it.
"Okay, then do as you say!" Du Shan patted Xu Changge's shoulder heavily and said.
Xu Changge nodded solemnly, and turned to leave in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Guys, let's switch to the next scene first...... The scenery team and props team hurry up, don't be stunned!"
Du Shan shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Xu Changge...... Don't let me down!" he looked at Xu Changge's departing back and said secretly in his heart.
……
Back at the hotel, Xu Changge sat in front of the mirror.
After ten days of recuperation at home, his cheeks were much rounder and he looked very good.
It would have been a relatively healthy state, but when shooting, it wasn't a plus.
The cruelty, violence, madness, and morbidity that Gao Ran's character needs most are almost nowhere to be found on this face, and his eyes are full of softness.
In the final analysis, it is because of the gentleness and satisfaction in his heart that he can't enter the role of Gao Ran.
This is also the reason why he didn't go home some time ago and even endured not talking to his sister on the phone, he was worried that this violent mood would be disrupted by the warm mood at home.
That's the biggest reason why he didn't play well today.
Probably for other actors, it's not too much of a problem.
Most of the actors at this stage belong to the expressionist school, they are based on understanding the soul of the character, and highlight the personality of the character through external expressions, including voice and body, props, specific expressions, tag movements, etc.
If they want to perform well, they just need to carefully ponder the script, understand the characters, memorize the lines, remember the expressions, remember the actions, and then present them perfectly, this is enough, the actor's heart is not directly related to the quality of the performance.
There is also a category of experiential actors, such as Guan Xueming and Yang Zhiyong, who believe that actors think about what the characters think and think about when performing, strive to enter the characters, and then show the emotions of the characters.
This kind of performance is more powerful than that of expressionist actors, who strive to be consistent with their thoughts and characters.
Xu Changge does not belong to any of the above, and his performance skills are more like an extension of experiential skills.
He does not directly let himself enter the characters to figure out the mood of the characters, but brings them back to the characters by invoking his own inner emotional expressions, not limited to the mechanical interpretation of the characters, and his own emotions can naturally lead to a series of highly creative performances.
So in many cases, Xu Changge's lines will be different from those in the script, and even expand at some times.
Naturally, under this way of performance, Xu Changge's mood has a huge impact on his performance.
But at the same time, the effect that can be achieved by such a performance technique is also amazing.
And what he has to do now is to completely forget the warmth of his home and enter the role of Gao Ran.
He looked at himself in the mirror, then recalled the difficult and struggling days of his previous life, picked out the experiences and emotions that fit the character itself, and then began to accumulate substitutions.
When I was a child, when I picked up bottles on the way from school to subsidize my family, the scenes of being bullied and abused by those older children flashed one after another, and the humiliation and powerlessness at that time were vivid.
In order to be able to play a small role, he begged with a shy face but was ridiculed and despised for a moment.
In the face of his terminally ill sister, he could only watch her leave him, that helplessness and despair.
missed her regret and remorse, the pain and unwillingness to be betrayed by those close to her, and so on......
Putting aside the most unbearable past, recalling the helplessness and despair that I don't want to remember, the negative emotions and energy that erupt are simply amazing.
Gradually, Xu Changge's eyes in the mirror were slightly strained, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and there was a trace of numbness and pain between his eyebrows.
Is this what it feels like? Pain, numbness, grumpy, despair!
He stood up and closed the curtains of the hotel, and the room was pitch black, as if he were in the middle of the night.
In such a quiet and dark environment, negative emotions are allowed to creep in.
As the minutes passed, he did not touch the lunch and dinner sent by the hotel staff, not even a drop of water.
When the crew came back from work, Xu Changge still stayed in the quiet and dark room like this, without making the slightest sound.
Guan Xueming and Xu Changge lived on the fifth floor of the same hotel, and when they passed by his door, they happened to see two meals placed at the door.
What's going on...... Could it be that Xu Changge didn't eat today?
Guan Xueming just wanted to knock on the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally put down his hand.
Every actor will encounter difficulties, and they can only figure it out on their own.
In the room, Xu Changge was still in a dark and silent space.
His emotions began to fluctuate, hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and irritability continued to attack him, and all kinds of negative emotions lingered on him, washing away the warmth in his heart, so that he could no longer think calmly and peacefully.
His nerves began to become sensitive and irritable, like a powder keg that exploded at the slightest touch.
And his eyes began to become manic and gloomy, alert and dangerous, making people panic to watch.
He knew very well that if he wanted to enter the high-burning state as quickly as possible, he could only use such an extreme way.
This state lasted until the next morning, when the assistant assistant informed you that it was time to get ready to apply makeup.
Xu Changge finally left the chair where he had been sitting for more than ten hours and pushed open the door.
At this time, Guan Xueming, who just stepped out of the room, knew that Xu Changge was back at the first glance.
That terrifying Gao Burn is back!
