When Peng Yichen returned to Chang'an, it was already 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as he got out of the airport, Huang Bo was waiting for him outside.

Huang Bo has been busy in Chang'an for the past two days, and has set up the shooting venues and props. The rest is to contact the filming equipment of the crew of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", and the actors are in place, and they can start filming immediately.

"Brother Huang, I've worked hard for you in the past two days. ”

"What is hard or not, you have the opportunity to make a movie, can my brother not support it?" Huang Bo smiled and hammered Peng Yichen twice.

"Besides, such a good movie, you can think of leaving a role for my brother and me, and I have to thank you!"

"It's all brothers, how are your acting skills, I know in my heart, I must leave you a role. Peng Yichen didn't say thank you anymore, the brother's affection was in his heart, and there will be a day when he will be rewarded.

Huang Bo diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Tonight, Lao Sun has booked a private room in the restaurant where we often go to eat in the past two months, and the two of us, Mr. Zhao Jianguo, as well as the actors and staff of Chang'an Film Studio. Director Chen Guozhong originally said that he was coming, but something happened to the crew and he couldn't come. ”

"Okay, our crew is also put together, there is no need to do any boot ceremony, you can lend out the small DV who is responsible for filming the highlights of the crew tonight. Let's shoot some food materials in the evening, and simply make a video tidbit of the pre-promotion. Send it back to the company, and they have to do a little publicity in the early stage. Peng Yichen smiled and discussed with Huang Bo.

"Haha, can the company watch a movie with such a small investment as ours? Well, a little publicity is better than nothing. You go back to the hotel to take a shower and take a rest. Let's meet at the restaurant in the evening. ”

Huang Bo sent Peng Yichen back to the hotel and went to the crew to borrow the DV by himself.

…………

The air temperature in the restaurant is much higher than on the street.

Peng Yichen and Huang Bo ate and drank with the actors and staff of the film studio, except for Zhao Jianguo, all of them are the most ordinary filmmakers, don't look at many of them have won awards at the Yanhuang Film Festival, and some have cooperated with big directors many times.

But for the audience, they are all a bunch of strangers.

One drama after another, year after year, youth and life are slowly dedicated to movies, but they are still unknown.

Peng Yichen used to be one of them, so his heart was close to them.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone became familiar with it, and the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

Soon everyone turned the conversation to the movie to be filmed this time.

I have to say that because this movie takes place in a single scene, there are almost no requirements in terms of lighting and scenery.

Long takes are used extensively throughout the film, and camera cuts are all decided by the central figure of the topic discussed between several jurors.

The work of videography and editing is very simple, whichever character is speaking, the camera will be turned to whom, and it is basically alive.

There are no camera compositions and montage cuts to help the actors create dramatic conflicts.

The ups and downs, plot tension, and contradictions of the whole movie are all supported by the actors' own performances, which is undoubtedly a difficult task for all actors.

Among them, the two characters who lead the emotional direction of the whole movie are the two characters who have the highest requirements for actors, respectively played by Peng Yichen and Zhao Jianguo.

Peng Yichen was in charge of the role, the calm and thoughtful judge who finally convinced everyone and passed the defendant's innocence.

Zhao Jianguo took the initiative to take on the tall, strong, and firm opinion of the juror, who had always found the defendant guilty because of the mistakes his son had made.

It can be said that whether these two characters can really stand up in a movie that is less than 2 hours long is crucial to the success of the whole movie.

Without these two characters to drive emotions and conflicts, the basic structure of the entire film would collapse, let alone make a classic movie.

Zhao Jianguo's acting skills are well-known, and he is the top among the well-known acting actors in the circle, so everyone in the crew believes that he can hold this character.

But Peng Yichen, as a rookie actor, the first work he starred in was just an idol drama, and the second part of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" had just been filmed for more than half of the filming, and Peng Yichen's performance would not be known until the TV series was broadcast.

So the big guys don't know much about Peng Yichen's acting skills.

Zhao Jianguo is the old Jianghu in the old rivers and lakes, and whoever is present turns his eyes carefully, he sees it all right.

Seeing that the big guy's eyes were always turning on himself and Peng Yichen, he knew what he should do.

"Chenzi, the last time I shot the scene of shooting and killing the war horse, your performance surprised me!" Zhao Jianguo provoked the conversation first.

"Mr. Zhao, you have an overreputation, I can't get into the eyes of a master like you. Peng Yichen was politely modest.

"Hahaha, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake. The way you performed last time, I was very surprised to watch. Now most of the actors in China are from dramas and stage plays, no matter how good their acting skills are, when they shoot movies and TV series, they always have traces of drama performances. But your performance is very natural and casual, and there is no exaggerated and deliberate feeling of drama performance at all. Actors in Europe and the United States have been engaged in performance reform in the past few years, and this is your way, it's not easy. ”

Zhao Jianguo is worthy of being a top actor with a deep foundation, and he affirmed Peng Yichen's performance strength from the height of performance theory and performance methods.

But Peng Yichen knew in his heart that the performance was purely his super-level performance.

From the world of the plot, he obtained Wei Qing's lifelong martial arts skills and 10 years of life memory, and for him to perform Wei Qing, letting him perform Wei Qing is simply a disguised appearance.

But not every character, he can have a performance like Wei Qing.

Especially when I am about to enter the movie world of "Twelve Warriors", the time span of this plot world is very short, basically about the same length as a movie, no more than 3 hours at most.

You must know that in the plot setting, the No. 8 juror he plays basically does not have any background settings and character introductions.

This means that after he enters the world of the plot, he can't get any memories of the characters, and he has to rely on his own understanding to perform.

After the plot world is over, you can rely on your own performance to get the memory of the character for the specified time, but I don't know how the will of the plot world will shape this character.

So in the face of Zhao Jianguo's praise, he didn't dare to be overconfident.

"Mr. Zhao has won the award, and I still have to learn more. ”

Peng Yichen put himself very low, but Zhao Jianguo was unwilling to let him go.

First, he wants to give Peng Yichen a chance to show his acting strength, and second, he is very interested in Peng Yichen's way of acting differently from this world.

"Tatsuko, where did you learn your acting skills? Huaxia Drama Academy, Kyoto Film Academy, or Shanghai Drama Academy?"

Zhao Jianguo is usually very busy, although he admires Peng Yichen very much, but unlike Chen Ting, who often chats with Peng Yichen, he doesn't know much about Peng Yichen's situation.

"I haven't read it. Peng Yichen casually continued: "I graduated from Kyoto University, and I participated in the stage drama club when I was in high school in Xingqi Country and learned a little stage play. The rest of the acting experience was all figured out by myself when I was a group performer in Wuzhou Film and Television Base. ”

Of course, he didn't dare to say that he was playing tricks in his previous life, and many old actors slowly learned acting skills.

can only make up a reason why he has acted in a stage play in the Star Flag Country, and find a source that can explain his acting skills.

"The performance style there is indeed more natural and real than at home. When Zhao Jianguo heard this, he became even more interested. He has always wanted to find a professional actor from Europe and the United States to learn about his acting skills, but he has never had the opportunity.

"Chenzi, tell me how the performance training is done in the Star Flag Country?" Zhao Jianguo hurriedly asked.

"Uh......" Peng Yichen thought for a while: "The usual training should be similar to that in China, all of which are training in four aspects: sound, stage, shape, and table. It may be different from the domestic one in two aspects, one is to emphasize 'relaxation and concentration training', if you don't relax, the performance will be natural and smooth, and if you don't concentrate, you can't go deep into the hearts of the characters, and you must find unity in the contradictions. ”

After speaking, Peng Yichen organized his language for a while before he spoke again.

"Another is the full freedom of self-will to create characters, which of course does not mean that actors are allowed to perform at will regardless of the constraints of the script. Rather, it emphasizes that the actor should become one with the character, fully enter the role, and give the character the power to be a real person in the space that is not written in the script. ”

In fact, what Peng Yichen said is not the existing performance training methods in Europe and the United States at all, but the core theories of his previous life experience and methodology.

As the saying goes, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

All of you here are people in the film industry, even if those behind-the-scenes staff don't have such a deep understanding of acting, they have seen more top actors, and they also know a lot about it.

Peng Yichen's words made everyone's eyes shine.

Zhao Jianguo asked excitedly, "Has Western performance theory developed to such a high level? Tatsuko, just talk about not practicing fake tricks. It's too general in theory! You can show it in detail. ”

Zhao Jianguo obviously couldn't listen to it, and directly asked Peng Yichen to show his hand on the spot.

"Okay, then I'll be ugly. ”
