When night falls, the streets are brightly lit, on the balcony of the room of the guest house of Chang'an Studio.

Yu Jing lay on the bed and fell asleep deeply, the high-intensity shooting a few days ago made her very tired, and she went to bed very early every day.

Peng Yichen sat alone in the rattan chair on the balcony, frowning, and kept twisting a magic key in his hand, making it appear in his palm and then disappear again.

His mind was clearly not on the key, but just mechanically practicing this little magic trick.

It has been a month since the crew of "Beautiful Life" started filming.

During the month, the crew shuttled through several sets in Chang'an.

Every day, I am pushing forward with the filming of the first half of the film, and some of the scenes that need to be completed on transportation.

The overall filming process of the film has been completed by two-thirds, and only the scenes in the labor camp have not yet been filmed.

Although like "Shocking Black Gold", "Life is Beautiful" is also a movie with relatively simple scenes.

But because Peng Yichen deleted most of the action scenes in "Shocking Black Gold", the difficulty of filming this "Beautiful Life" is much higher.

Because in terms of scenes, in the first half of the movie, many of the scenes in which the male protagonist pursues the female protagonist need to be on the open street, relying on a large number of extras and a large number of sets to reproduce the scenes of the Republic of China.

During the filming, a large number of extras were mobilized to carefully arrange various street scenes during the Republic of China, which were all new experiences for Peng Yichen.

In terms of performance, the first half of the scene went quite smoothly.

Although Yu Jing's acting skills are very blunt and lack spirituality, it may be because Peng Yichen is the leading actor.

When she faced Peng Yichen, she was always able to show a very perfect state.

Especially in the ambiguous and attachment scenes between the male and female protagonists, she doesn't even need any acting skills, she just needs to naturally reveal her true feelings in front of the camera.

In order to make himself and Yu Jing feel more comfortable, Peng Yichen first finished all the scenes of Yu Jing and his real boyfriend, the city government official, in the play.

then focused on filming the scene where the hero and heroine met and fell in love, and finally formed a happy family.

Everything went very smoothly.

But today I was filming a scene where the actor and his son lived in a labor camp on the first night.

He shot it many times, but he didn't feel satisfied, and he always felt that something was missing from the lens.

Judging from the shots, his expression seems to be in place, but Peng Yichen feels that he is still not committed enough, and he feels that he can perform better.

Putting down the magic key, Peng Yichen took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

He looked at the Milky Way in the sky, obscured by the city lights, while waiting for the other party to answer the phone.

Soon the phone was connected, and he said with a slight smile on his face: "Good evening, Mr. Zhao Jianguo, I'm Peng Yichen." ”

Although the two have not seen each other for almost a year, because of their equally strong love for movies and acting, Peng Yichen and Zhao Jianguo insisted on getting in touch to exchange ideas and understanding of film performance.

Zhao Jianguo's hearty laughter soon came from the mobile phone: "Haha, it's Chenzi." Call me so late, is there any trouble with the performance, and you want to talk to me?"

Peng Yichen smiled softly and said, "I did encounter a trouble. ”

For the issues of acting and film, Zhao Jianguo has always maintained the greatest enthusiasm and interest.

Recently, because of the shooting, Peng Yichen has consulted Zhao Jianguo many times, and he seems to be a caring teacher who has taught Peng Yichen a lot of skills in film shooting and acting.

"That's right, I want to ask, how can I be more emotionally engaged?" Peng Yichen asked the question in his heart.

He further explained: "Today I shot a set of shots, which is the first scene where the male protagonist and his son spend the night in the labor camp, and the male protagonist wants to convince his son that the whole labor camp is a game, but deep down he is extremely afraid of the future...... The young actor Wang Qing who played his son performed very well, but I always felt that there seemed to be a little bit of something missing in my performance. I'm sure I have a good grasp of the character's heart (after all, I've experienced it once), but I don't know why, when I'm acting, I can't always show the fear of the male protagonist about the labor camp and his future. ”

Zhao Jianguo over there thought for a long time before replying: "Chenzi, what little thing do you think is missing." Maybe it has nothing to do with your own performance, but the environment is hindering your performance. ”

Peng Yichen was stunned when he heard it, he has always been looking for reasons from his performance, and he has never thought that it was a matter of shooting, after all, he has always thought about the whole movie from the perspective of an actor.

Without waiting for him to respond, Zhao Jianguo continued to explain: "You know, in a shot, there are not only actors, sometimes a small prop, or even a subtle set, will have a very strong impact on the actor's performance. Why is acting experience very important for actors, because you not only need to perform your own play well, but also have a better grasp of every detail of the surrounding environment in order to present the most perfect state in the camera. ”

Peng Yichen listened attentively and replied thoughtfully: "Yes, just like Wu Yusen's white dove and Xiao Ma's toothpick, although it seems to be just a small prop, it is very important for the effect of the whole performance. ”

Zhao Jianguo asked suspiciously: "Wu Yusen is a film director in Xiangjiang, right? But what are the toothpicks of the white pigeon and Xiao Ma Ge?"

Peng Yichen then remembered that "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Bloody Heroes" had not yet appeared in this world, and immediately changed the topic, "It's nothing, I mean, my acting experience and directing experience are still too little, it seems that I need to learn more." ”

"Yes, you have to understand that an actor's performance is not isolated, and it must have the full cooperation of photography, editing, props, sets, lighting, etc., so that the actor can become a real character in the movie. If you feel like you're missing something in your performance, look for other reasons. Zhao Jianguo said with a smile.

Peng Yichen nodded silently, he did seem to rely on his own performance a little, but he forgot that all the classic and great performances are actually the result of complementing other types of work behind the scenes.

If you want to become a great actor, it is not enough to just learn to act, you must also consider your performance from the height of the whole movie, so that you can make the characters you create to the point of perfection.

"Of course, the basis of everything is the performance itself, but I believe in your strength, you are definitely one of the best actors in Huaxia. Zhao Jianguo smiled before he began to answer Peng Yichen's first question.

"You asked me at the beginning how I could be more engaged in my performance. It's simple to make your performance environment more realistic. Zhao Jianguo simply summed up his suggestions in one sentence.

Peng Yichen nodded and said, "Well, okay." I understand what to do. ”

Zhao Jianguo, who was over there, thought for a few more seconds, and suddenly smiled: "Chenzi, have you never had the habit of playing music on the set?" ”

Peng Yichen was stunned: "Broadcast music on the set?"

Robert smiled: "Yes, I probably know your scene that the protagonist wants to make his son believe that everything is a game, so his emotions on the surface are very different from the real emotions in his heart." When performing this kind of play, if you put a piece of music next to it that can arouse emotions, you can more easily mobilize your inner emotions. ”

Peng Yichen patted his head, why didn't he think of this idea.

From the day the film was first invented, the importance of background music to cinema has not changed.

Whether it is a sound film or a silent film, whether it is a black and white film or a color film, a suitable background music can always arouse the audience's maximum emotions for the movie.

On the other hand, the role of music in mobilizing actors is also very huge.

In his previous life, Peng Yichen had heard that many powerful Hollywood actors, when performing, would ask to play a suitable piece of music to help them quickly enter the emotions and hearts of the characters.

So why can't you use this method to completely mobilize your memories in the movie world?

Coupled with the cold and cruel atmosphere in the labor dormitory, and his son's innocent expression, just thinking about that picture, Peng Yichen felt that goosebumps were about to rise all over his body.

He couldn't wait to start the show as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow, thank you, Mr. Zhao. Peng Yichen happily chatted with Zhao Jianguo for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

At this time, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind him and gently squeezed his shoulders.

"Why don't you sleep yet? Are you still thinking about the scene during the day?"

Listening to Yu Jing's gentle voice, Peng Yichen's heart warmed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I just talked to Mr. Zhao Jianguo on the phone, and he gave me a very good suggestion, I think that scene should be fine." ”

"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've done a really good job. Yu Jing was still a little uneasy.

Peng Yichen stood up with a smile and pushed her into the room, "Okay, I know." Let's go to bed now. We're going to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the set to shoot. ”

As he spoke, he pushed Yu Jing down on the bed, and lay down himself, sniffing the sweet smell of the beauties around him.

In the darkness, the movements of his hands slowly grew larger.

"Ah, Tatsuko, I'm going to sleep......"

"Haha, it's not too late for us to sleep in a while......"

For a while, the room was tumbled by the waves, and the two young people tossed for a long time before they slowly fell asleep.
