Assistant director Len Andor looked at Peng Yichen, who was performing on the side, and whispered to Emma Roberts: "Emma, this is a very wonderful movie. After its release, it will definitely be a big hit. It's best not to go against Director Peng now. You have to understand that for an actor, the work is the most important thing. ”

"Oh?" Emma was stunned, "why are you saying this to me!"

Len Andor whispered, "I once made a fatal mistake, and Julia helped me with good things at that time, so that I could continue to stay in Hua Na." So, I don't want to see her niece stupid. ”

With that, Lenandor walked away.

This is the biggest advantage of the second generation of stars, not only do they have opportunities and resources that others do not have, but they also inherit the favors and connections left to them by their elders.

Julia Roberts' personality has clearly helped Emma Roberts.

Emma Roberts watched Peng Yichen and Huang Bo's wonderful performances with great tacit understanding, and thought about it for a long time before letting go of the little Jiujiu in her heart, and definitely making this movie well.

In the next few days of filming, what Peng Yichen didn't expect was that Emma Roberts did not confront him, the director, as he thought, and even did not cooperate with the filming at all.

On the contrary, Emma Roberts was very cooperative, and did her best to fulfill the requirements of Peng Yichen as a director.

Of course, after the filming, she never said a word to Peng Yichen.

Peng Yichen doesn't care if Emma likes herself, as long as she can complete her performance well, it is enough.

……

After more than half a month of filming, the filming progress of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" is getting faster and faster.

Although most of the crew members are from the Star Flag Country, Peng Yichen has lived in the Star Flag Country for a long time, and there is no obstacle for him to communicate with them.

As for the other Huaxia staff and actors, under Peng Yichen's organization and scheduling, they also cooperated very well with the people of Xingqi Country.

Therefore, the filming of this film can be said to have been relatively smooth all the time.

But the biggest headache for Peng Yichen is Emma Roberts.

Of course, it's not that Emma Roberts didn't cooperate with his shooting. On the contrary, Emma Roberts takes great care to perform according to his requirements every time she shoots.

But I don't know if it's because of the lack of talent, Emma Roberts's performance always feels too heavy in Peng Yichen's eyes, with more explosive power, but far less delicacy.

This is also a common problem of European and American actors.

may be due to the influence of their cultural factors, when European and American actors perform, their movements are relatively exaggerated, and people who are emotional in their performances are often able to show very explosive power.

But in the movie "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", the heroine Alison, as a student of the Star Flag Country, is the only girl who has not been affected by discrimination and prejudice in her heart and is willing to seriously understand the heart of Peng Yichen, a terrifying and ugly man.

Her sensitivity to the world and other people's emotions, and her empathy for other people's feelings, require actors to show in front of the audience through very delicate performances.

Even the role of Alison, many times, has no lines, and when she faces Peng Yichen, she basically uses Peng Yichen to speak.

She is also the least talkative in the team of Star Flag University students.

This requires Emma Roberts' acting skills even higher, because she can't portray this character with a lot of lines.

Generally speaking, TV series are the easiest to act because TV series always have a large number of lines that help the actors describe the plot.

The lines in TV dramas express emotions directly, and the best and most classic examples are various idol romance dramas.

For example, in Qiong Yao's very well-known TV series "See a Dream Again", what did Aunt Qiong Yao do when she arranged for the heroine Ziling to express her inner emotions?

"Yunfan, I'm motion sickness!", Ziling said.

The actor replied: "How can you get motion sickness, it's just a carriage, is it heat stroke?

Then Ziling directly came to a super long line:

"I'm not that kind of motion sickness! I'm sitting in a carriage like this, walking on such a boulevard, and I'm dizzy with joy, and I'm dizzy with intoxication, and I'm dizzy with enjoyment, so I get sick from the car.

Actually, since I came to Provence, I have been dizzy all the way, I have entered the dream come true, I am dizzy, I have seen a new house with beaded curtains, I have dizzy, I have seen the castle, I have dizzy.

I am still dizzy when I see the lavender flower field, and I am even more dizzy when I see the mountain town. ”

Performing this kind of role, the actress has no acting skills at all, as long as she finishes reading her lines, she can let the audience know the emotions in her heart at that time.

This is also the main reason why idol TV dramas can use a large number of young actors who are not very good at acting skills.

But if there are no lines, you let an actor accurately express the inner emotions of the character, and you must be able to let the audience immediately understand the character's state of mind at that time when watching it, which is a great test of the actor's acting skills.

Emma Roberts has a lot of this kind of scene in this movie without too many lines

For example, she played Alison, who fell into the lake for the first time and fainted. was rescued by Peng Yichen and Huang Bo, and the scene when he woke up in a cabin in the woods.

She was frightened when she saw Peng Yichen at first sight, and then became half-convinced because of Peng Yichen's explanation.

In the end, because Peng Yichen made her a hearty breakfast, she slowly relaxed, and began to be willing to accept Peng Yichen's explanation, believing that the other party was a kind person, not a perverted murderer.

In this full 5-minute scene, Emma only has three or four lines in total, and it is still very simple words like "Don't come here!" and "Why am I here?".

Therefore, Emma almost relies on her own movements and expressions to show the psychological transformation process of the heroine Alison.

But Emma's exaggerated expressions and movements could not satisfy Peng Yichen at all.

In just one shot, I NG more than 20 times before and after, but I still can't pass.

So much so that in the end, Emma's emotions completely collapsed.

“hat the f .u c k!” Emma jumped up from the bed in the wooden house and shouted at Peng Yichen: "You just want to retaliate, when I met you on the first day, I had a bad attitude towards you, and you deliberately tossed me now, right?"

Peng Yichen looked at the girl who was yelling at him, didn't speak, he asked the other staff to all go out.

He pulled over a bench and sat there watching Emma spout all sorts of swear words like a madman, some of which were still the slang of the Star Banner Country.

If Peng Yichen hadn't lived there for so many years, he might not have been able to understand what she was scolding.

After a while, when Emma got tired, she sat there and stopped talking.

Peng Yichen slowly spoke, "I want to ask you a question." You want to be a 'child star' who has lived in the shadow of Julia Roberts all your life. Like McCowkin (starring Home Alone), he finally lost his voice in Hollywood. Or do you want to really get your own honor in this circle and become a great actress like your aunt. ”

Emma didn't answer his question, first pulling out a pack of women's cigarettes from the handbag she kept behind the camera. After lighting one, he sucked it hard in his mouth.

Then he replied: "I was mixed up on the Hollywood set when I was 9 years old, and although I didn't need to experience many things because of my aunt's protection, it doesn't mean I don't know." So put away your set, face the little girl's persuasion, and say it directly if you have something to say. ”

"Well, I'm trying to say it very simply. Your current performance is really bad, and you can't succeed in Hollywood with this kind of acting. Even if you have an aunt named Julia Roberts. That's what I'm trying to say, in my eyes your show is a complete pile of garbage. Peng Yichen didn't leave any affection.

Emma was a little stunned, she looked at Peng Yichen and said with a wry smile: "You are the first person to say this in front of me." Although I already knew this, no one dared to say that to me because of my aunt. ”

"Now that you know, why don't you work hard to improve your acting skills?" asked Peng Yichen.

"Do you think I don't want to? But no one is going to teach me seriously. Emma replied with a wry smile.

"How is it possible, your aunt's acting skills are completely enough to be your teacher. Besides, you can also go to a professional theater company or school. Peng Yichen said strangely.

"My aunt, hehe, she does love me very much, but she doesn't have time to teach me how to perform. As for the professional theater companies you mentioned, I have been to more than one. The way I perform now is what they teach. But what's the use, the performance of a stage play is too different from the performance of a movie. Unless they are very talented actors, most actors start from small roles through movies and continue to hone their acting skills. Emma took a hard puff of her cigarette, her expression was very painful, but Peng Yichen didn't know why, she always felt that her smoking posture was very elegant.

"But what about me, I never got a chance to play a small role because I was Julia's niece. Emma threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

She stood up and vented angrily, "I know, some people may say I don't know. has such good conditions, but I don't know how to cherish it. But who knows, every time I am in the movie, I can only be a vase and a promotional tool, no one wants to teach me how to act, and no director really needs me to act.

The big directors didn't want to use me because they were afraid of asking too much of me and offending my aunt. Little directors like to use me, but they only need my fame, not my acting skills.

You tell me, do I need to improve my acting skills in such an environment? I just need to take my name and walk around the movie and let those idiots use my fame to promote their movie. ”

In the end, Emma even slammed her fist on the table next to her, leaving a bloody mark on her own hand, and she didn't care.

Peng Yichen looked at the angry girl, without any intention of persuading her, "Do you want to play a role, let those people see, and see your strength."

"What am I going to do?" asked Emma seriously.

"Just play out the anger in your heart right now. Use the most restrained method to perform the strongest heart. Peng Yichen said with a smile.

"Can you be specific? Emma replied.

Peng Yichen thought about it, and suddenly got up and did the bed where Emma was just lying.

"Hey, man, although your words just now are very manly, but it's broad daylight, and I'm not interested in having a conversation with you. Emma said rudely.

Peng Yichen didn't expect this elegant-looking girl to tell such a meat joke.

"Hehe, I'm not interested in underage girls like you. Now I'm going to show you a little bit of that scene. If you look at it seriously, how I express the inner emotions of the characters. Peng Yichen shot back with a smile.

Emma heard Peng Yichen say that she was underage, and just wanted to fight back, but was immediately shocked by Peng Yichen's next move.

I saw that Peng Yichen's face suddenly surged with a trace of confusion at this time, and he looked around, as if he was trying to remember something.

At this moment, Peng Yichen's fat face had a hint of charm and feminine tenderness in his expression.

Such a big contrast made Emma feel creepy, looking at Peng Yichen, she even felt that this man had a woman's soul in his body at this time.

Then, Peng Yichen turned his face around, looked at Emma's face, was stunned at first, and then as if he saw some terrifying monster, suddenly his whole body shrank back, and then a kind of weakness and horror appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Don't, don't come here." ”

The voice of this passage, if Emma closed her eyes, would have thought that it was a young girl shouting.

Peng Yichen's ability to imitate voices has almost reached the point of being fake.

This kind of line skill is not something that a little girl like Emma can imagine.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still broad daylight at this time, Emma would almost have thought that Peng Yichen was possessed by some female ghost.

In the end, Peng Yichen's face changed to an expression of confusion and trying to recall, "I remembered, I was swimming with my friends last night, and then I fell into the lake. How did I end up here?"

The next moment, Peng Yichen's expression instantly changed to fear again, he felt his body for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than 3 minutes, Peng Yichen's expressions and movements changed at least 3 times, and each change was extremely layered. It is very accurate to show the heroine's state of mind at that time.

But these expressions and movements are very subtle and restrained, without the slightest exaggeration and falsehood.

made Emma almost think of Peng Yichen as a woman.

This kind of acting, in Emma's opinion, even her aunt can't reach it at all. But Peng Yichen, a Chinese actor who is so young, performs so easily.

This made her worldview almost collapse.

"If you can teach me how to act as well as you do, I will listen to you in everything from now on. Emma looked at Peng Yichen in a daze and said.

She has a hunch that under the training of Peng Yichen, a director with such excellent acting skills, her acting career will definitely take a major turn.

I thought that one day I would be able to use my superb acting skills to slap the faces of all the directors who used to think of me as a vase, and make my name no longer just appear after "Julia Roberts's niece".

She trembled with excitement.

Peng Yichen looked at the girl with a smile and nodded: "Okay, we've decided." I helped you raise your acting skills to my level, and you cooperated with me to make this movie a classic. ”

Since then, Hollywood has fewer "child stars" who think they are outdated, and more actresses with powerful acting skills.

This may be what Julia Roberts and Robinoff, who just wanted Emma to come to China to relax, could not have imagined at all.
