Chapter 260: Zhang Manyu's acting skills
At the end of the Warring States Period, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin rose together, but Qin was the most powerful, eager to annex the six countries and dominate the world.
In order to resist the annexation of the Qin State, different stories of the assassination of Qin have been staged in various parts of the Six Kingdoms. And the three assassins of Zhao State, Changkong, Remnant Sword, and Feixue, are famous all over the world because of their superb swordsmanship, and King Qin has not slept a peaceful sleep in ten years because of the three of them.
Suddenly, there was good news that a swordsman named Nameless Qin had killed them for the King of Qin, and the King of Qin was overjoyed and urgently summoned Nameless to the palace to meet him.
In the main hall, the candle flame is dim, and the King of Qin is only ten steps away from Nameless, and the story of Nameless will kill Changkong, Remnant Sword, and Flying Snow tells the story: he uses the love-hate relationship between the three to disintegrate their power, and each one breaks it, so that he wins.
But the scheming King of Qin discovered the flaw in the story told by Nameless, and told another version: Remnant Jian and the other three took the initiative to seek defeat, sacrificed their lives, and used bitter tricks to help Nameless go to the temple, and Nameless was the real most dangerous assassin. Nameless told King Qin that he had mistaken a person, and that was the Broken Sword, so another story was told from the beginning...... In the end, Nameless picked up the sword, and at this time he was only ten steps away from King Qin, and his stunt was "Ten Steps and One Kill......
This is the synopsis of the story of "Hero", Zhang Yimou divides the whole movie of "Hero" into several acts, and expresses it in color, the core content of the story is closely connected with the color of the movie, echoing the tone of the movie, and also highlighting the epic sense of the movie.
Playing color has always been Lao Mouzi's housekeeping skills, he is a photographer, it can be said that when it comes to the use of color technology, few people in the world can compare with him, and no one in China can beat him.
In Zhou Bai's view, the story of the movie is a little empty and not very satisfying, but as far as the overall story is concerned, there is no problem with its core, and it is enough in depth, the only flaw is the final expression, that is, there is no too much struggle in the choice of characters in the performance, which was later criticized by major experts.
But it is difficult for commercial blockbusters to do too much in-depth excavation in the depth of art, even if it is such a successful movie as "Titanic", if you tear off its skin, it is nothing more than a vulgar love story, but Cameron's success lies in his ability to resonate with the audience and find the most critical point.
If the movie "Hero" uses a little space to show the tragic situation of the people of the Seven Kingdoms in the war, it can highlight the reasons for the choice of Broken Sword, Nameless and others, but unfortunately Lao Mouzi does not have this idea, which makes the movie characters look a little weak in terms of reasons.
The filming progress in Dunhuang is very slow, often only a few shots a day, Lao Mouzi has too many ideas in this regard, and often he will reshoot after the shots have passed, because he may have new ideas the next day, and push away the shots taken the day before and start over.
This kind of shooting should be very easy, but even Zhou Bai feels very hard, because although the scenery of Dunhuang is beautiful, there is wind and sand everywhere, the temperature changes very much, and the requirements of martial arts scenes are very high, and a shot is often shot dozens of times to pass, so it is very tiring.
With a physical monster like Zhou Bai, he feels hard, let alone Zhang Manyu and Zhang Ziyi, but they are all very dedicated actors, no matter how hard they work, they grit their teeth and persevere.
During this time, the filming progress was very slow, and it also provided Zhou Bai and Zhang Manyu with time to establish a tacit understanding of emotional brewing.
I can't help but say that Man God is Man God, her acting skills are perfect, and she has reached the realm of flowing water, and it is a great blessing to cooperate with such a good actor.
Huangsha Gobi, Zhou Bai and Zhang Manyu are both dressed in white, and each of them has a horse beside them, looking at each other from afar.
The footage taken at this time is the failure of the nameless entry into the palace to assassinate the King of Qin, after receiving the news of the nameless assassination failure, Feixue was grief-stricken and indignant, galloping on his horse, and the remnant sword chased after him to explain the plot.
"Nameless is already ten steps closer to King Qin, and his sword will not miss, so there is only one explanation, and he is willing to explain, what did you tell him?" Zhang Manyu turned his face sideways, unwilling to look at the remnant sword, and chose to look sideways into the distance, the wind was blowing her hair, and her eyes were sad and angry.
Zhang Manyu's Chinese is not good, but the pronunciation of the lines at this time is close to the standard, and the Xiangjiang accent is much less, which is also the result of her repeated training during this time.
"I only wrote two words. Zhou Bai frowned slightly, and there was sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
In fact, the camera at this time will not focus on his face at all, because this is not a drama under the same camera, but Zhou Bai standing outside the camera to play Zhang Manyu.
Why do you say that in the future, there will be many Xiao Xianrou and Xiao Huadan reading numbers when they play with actors, generally refers to this, of course, there are more excessive, that is, he also does this under the camera, and his own lines are also replaced by numbers.
It is a rare thing for an actor to enter the play, and it is a rare thing to have a good actor who is willing to act with you behind the camera, and it can also guide the emotional expression of the actor in front of the camera.
"Which two words?" Zhang Manyu asked, motionless.
"The world!" Zhou Bai said slowly.
I only saw Zhang Manyu under the camera pause first, then turned his face, looked at the camera with slightly red eyes, and said: "You only have the world in your heart." ”
This look was really amazing, and it was extremely accurate to express Feixue's sadness, grief and grievances against the remnant sword at the moment, and the pressure formed in an instant made Zhou Bai almost lose his mind.
In an instant, the aura that belonged to the top actors spread like an overwhelming spread, and Man Shen was like an explosion of all his anger at the moment, which made people feel suffocated.
"And you!" Zhou Bai withstood this pressure, and went smoothly, and at the same time secretly ashamed in his heart, although he did not break the gong, but at that moment he had been driven by his opponent's emotions, which was irrefutable.
"I don't believe it. Zhang Manyu said with disappointment in his eyes.
"How do you believe it?" Zhou Bai said, looking up.
Zhang Manyu turned around and untied the two swords from the horse next to him, threw one over, pulled out the one in his hand with a snort, pointed to the camera, and said coldly: "Draw the sword!"
"Okay, very good, this one is over, take a break, let's get ready for the next shot." Zhang Yimou said with the big lama, his tone was full of excitement, because Zhang Manyu's performance just now was so exciting.
"Papapa!" everyone applauded warmly, and they were convinced by Zhang Manyu's performance, and the level she had reached was indeed amazing.
"Thank you, Xiaobai, I'll take a rest first. After Zhang Manyu nodded to everyone and thanked everyone, he said to Zhou Bai, and then walked to a chair not far away and sat down to rest.
It's not just that kind of crying scene that consumes the actor's energy, like Zhang Manyu's performance just now, the psychological activities of the characters have changed a lot, and it also consumes a lot of her strength, so she urgently needs to rest and calm down.
"It's amazing, Sister Maggie's acting skills are really heartfelt, if I wasn't under the camera just now, then this scene might not have passed. Zhou Bai also walked to rest, sat down and sighed, it really made him very excited to feel this kind of performance in person, as if the cells in his body were about to explode, and he was eager to try.
"Yes, this is the performance of the actress level, I don't know when I will reach such a state. Zhang Ziyi, who was resting on the chair, said enviously that the performance just now really made her feel a vague sense of frustration, and made her understand how far she was from Zhang Manyu at this time.
"Come on, we are the younger generation, as long as you continue to work hard and think harder, you will definitely be able to reach her level. Zhou Bai encouraged.
