"That's all for today's shooting! Everyone has worked hard!" Shooting until five o'clock in the afternoon, the all-day shooting task was successfully completed, Zhang Ran picked up the loudspeaker and announced the end of work. However, he didn't forget to affirm Jing Tian's performance, and applauded: "Apprentice, you performed very well today, you can score ninety!"

After finishing work, Zhang Ran invited Chen Daomin to his house for dinner, so that he could chat about the script by the way. Zhang Ran now has children, and he doesn't live in a hotel with the crew members like before, and now he goes home to accompany his wife and children every day after filming. didn't live in the crew, so naturally there was no way to discuss the script in the hotel, so he called Chen Daomin home for dinner.

When Jing Tian heard Zhang Ran invite Chen Daomin home for dinner, he cheekily followed, and said that the master's food would not be eaten for nothing.

After dinner, Zhang Ran took Chen Daomin to the study to discuss the script. Zhang Ran has worked with Chen Daomin twice, and knowing his acting habits, he told Chen Daomin what kind of movie he wants to make, the connotation and extension of the story, and his various thoughts and requirements for the role of Cheng Liang.

Although Chen Daomin made a cameo and did not have many scenes, he still took the role very seriously, asked some questions about the script and the role of Cheng Liang, and told his thoughts. Both of them are extremely assertive people who have their own opinions on the characters, and they soon quarrel.

Jing Tian and Zhang Jingchu were watching TV in the living room, and when they heard Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin slapping the table and arguing on the bench, it was almost like they were going to fight, so they said to Zhang Jingchu: "Master and Teacher Chen Daomin are arguing so much, go and persuade them?"

Zhang Jingchu said calmly: "It's okay, he discussed the script with Chen Daomin and that's it, don't worry about them." ”

Hearing Zhang Jingchu say this, Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to chat with Zhang Jingchu. However, the quarrel between Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin continued, and at ten o'clock in the evening, Jingtian returned to the hotel, and the quarrel between Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin was not over.

The next morning, Jing Tian came to the crew early in the morning to prepare for today's shooting. Today's main filming of Chen Daomin's scene is mainly the first scene, which is a scene in which Cheng Liang knocks on Xia Xuejiao's door and asks her to help find her daughter. The Jingtian part of this scene was filmed two days ago, and today the Chen Daomin part was mainly filmed, and then combined with the Jingtian part.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ran to come. Jing Tian hurriedly greeted him: "Master, you had such a big quarrel with Teacher Chen Daomin last night, I thought you were going to fight! Such a small character, with Teacher Chen Daomin's experience, is so hand-to-hand, why did you quarrel like that?"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think this kind of role is easy to play? Big mistake, the smaller the role, the more difficult it is to play." Why is it that poems are the most difficult to write, and there is more room for them? It is because they can be laid out and unfolded slowly, and there is a chance to make up for them. Poetry should convey the greatest amount of information in the shortest words. The smaller the role, the more effort you have to put into it, otherwise how can others remember you? Feng Yuanyi has played many very small roles, such as the robber in "The World is a Thief" and the founding of the country in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", all of which are two- or three-minute scenes, but the audience remembers his performance very deeply. Do you think he will perform casually without bothering about it? Later, you will ask Chen Daomin what preparations he has made for the role of Cheng Liang!"

In the impression of many people, Chen Daomin is the kind of person who is very serious and fierce, and many young actors will be nervous when facing Chen Daomin, and even think that they will be so nervous that they can't sleep when they think of playing against Chen Daomin. However, Jing Tian is a heartless girl, not afraid at all, and when Chen Daomin came, she ran over directly and asked: "Teacher Chen Daomin, my master said that you have made a lot of preparations for playing the role of Cheng Liang, so how much preparation have you made?"

Chen Daomin said with a smile: "I didn't do much preparation, I drew a picture of the character after reading the script, which is also a creative habit of mine, the character I play, when I read the script, I will first sketch the basic outline of the character." When I act, I will restore the literary image of the character and the image of my imagination and combine them. After drawing, I analyzed the script and the characters, found out the highest tasks and the continuous actions, and returned to myself, looking for the shadows of the characters from myself. But I don't have much time, otherwise I'm going to go around the university and talk to a few more friends who teach at the university. ”

Jing Tian said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to make so many preparations for such a small role. ”

Chen Daomin said solemnly: "There is no size in the performance. Only you can't play well, there is no small role, even if there is only one shot, as long as you have a sense of responsibility for this profession, you must play it well. It's not that I'm demanding of myself, it's that the profession itself is supposed to be. Cheng Liang's role is not much, but it is very important, I need to convey more things in the shortest time, I must produce the most three-dimensional behavior and emotional state in the fastest action, how can I play it well without putting effort into it?"

Jing Tian remembered that when he was on the crew of "Future Apocalypse", Robert De Niro would always prepare very seriously before acting. Although he and Chen Daomin took different approaches, they had the same goal. She bowed down and saluted Chen Daomin: "Thank you, Teacher Chen Daomin!"

Chen Daomin bowed slightly, thinking that if other little girls had a master like Zhang Ran, and they played the heroine, their tails would have already gone to the sky, but Jing Tian was able to ask others for advice, and she was also very educated, no wonder Zhang Ran would accept her as an apprentice!

Zhang Ran beckoned to Jing Tian, patted the chair next to him, and said, "Apprentice, sit here, and let Teacher Chen Daomin teach you a lesson." ”

Jing Tian walked to Zhang Ran's side, but did not sit down: "Master, I want to play with Teacher Chen Daomin in a while!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Lao Dao doesn't need you to play, you can just watch it here for a while." ”

Jing Tian said in surprise: "But it's a long shot, there are a lot of conversations between me and him, no one will make a mistake when playing with him!"

Zhang Ran said: "You will make a mistake, but he is Chen Daomin, he definitely won't!" He looked up at Chen Daomin and said, "Old Dao, no problem, right?"

Chen Daomin said speechlessly: "You are using me as a case to educate apprentices, I have to charge a fee!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "No problem, I will invite you to dinner then." ”

Chen Daomin waved his hand and said: "Eating is free, think more about me when filming in the future, don't think of me when you make a cameo, and put me aside when you choose the leading role!"

Zhang Ran heard Chen Daomin complaining, and said with a haha: "If there is a suitable role, you will definitely be looking for you, if there is no suitable role, then there will definitely be no way, for example, if I let you play the ancestor, it will definitely not be suitable!"

Chen Daomin was not happy when he heard this, and felt that Zhang Ran was underestimating him, so he immediately said: "Why is it not suitable? I think I can play it completely, if you give me a few months to prepare, I will stay in the countryside for a few months, I can definitely perform! And that Lao Huang in "One Man Puts on the Lights", I can also play it! I have played many soldiers, and playing a policeman is a piece of cake! You just underestimate me too much, and in your eyes I can only play an intellectual!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly surrendered: "Okay, okay, as long as it's not a particularly contrasting character in the future, I'll be the first to find you!"

At Chen Daomin's age, he has a relatively light view of money, fame and fortune, and his biggest hope is to leave more works that are remembered, and he hopes to leave more remembered characters.

In May this year, Chen Daomin and Zhang Yimou brought "Return" to Cannes for screening, and he was more satisfied with the movie, but unfortunately the movie did not cause much repercussions in Cannes or in China, which made him a little disappointed. On the contrary, Li Xuejian, who starred in "Scorching Sun", has received rave reviews both at home and abroad. Some American media even said that Li Xuejian's performance in "The Scorching Sun" dwarfed Tom Hanks's performance in "Desert Island". Chen Daomin was particularly envious of this, and felt that he could also act, but Zhang Ran didn't look for himself.

Now hearing Zhang Ran say this, Chen Daomin is very happy: "Then we have made up our minds!"

Soon after, the preparations for the shoot were ready, the crew was in place, and the shooting officially began.

Chen Daomin stood at the door of Xia Xuejiao's room and began to perform, the camera slowly pushed to the door, slowly pushed to the door mirror, and photographed Chen Daomin outside the door through the door mirror.

Three minutes later, the shooting ended, and the special effects team deducted Chen Daomin's performance and combined it with the footage shot by Jing Tian the day before yesterday to form a complete long shot. When Jing Tian put on VR glasses to look at that shot, he was dumbfounded. Chen Daomin's performance is so closely matched with her performance that it is completely impossible to see that it is collaged.

Jing Tian looked at Chen Daomin, then at Zhang Ran, and said in disbelief: "This is too powerful, Teacher Chen Daomin, how did you do it?"

Chen Daomin said lightly: "Before the performance, I watched your performance several times, and wrote down your performance, how long it was, what the rhythm was like, and when I acted, I will present your performance in my heart through my inner vision, which is equivalent to performing with you." ”

Jing Tian's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his inner vision was something that would be taught in the acting department, but it was unheard of to use his inner vision to such an extent. After a while, she spoke: "It turns out that inner vision can be used to this extent!"

Zhang Ran felt that Jing Tian's words were very embarrassing, and said with disdain: "You haven't seen the really powerful one yet." I heard Gao Xiaosong say one thing, when Lao Dao filmed Gao Xiaosong's scene, there was a scene where Lao Dao was injured by the river and had to lie on a small boat and go ashore by the oars. For the sake of the picture, you have to wait for the sunset to turn the river very bright.

At that time, there was no condition for the crew to wait for the sun to set, and first shoot other scenes on the mountain. When the sun sets, the cameraman runs to the bridge with his machine on his shoulder. The cameraman shouted at the top of his voice, "250!250 focal length depth of field, if you don't control it well, the picture will be empty." I just heard the old Tao reply, 'Understood', and the performance started with a tilt of the oar on the boat. The picture is set on the sparkling river, such a beautiful shot is fleeting, and once the body movements are too big, the actors will come out of the painting. The crew had a limited budget and had no chance to try and make mistakes, and Gao Xiaosong kept sweating in front of the monitor.

As a result, throughout the long shot, Lao Dao and the oar kept walking along the picture, and he rolled around in the shot, but no matter how he turned over, the person was always in the painting. As soon as the whole article came down, Gao Xiaosong was scared to pee at that time, and said Lao Chen, you are too powerful. Lao Dao smiled and said, I waved the oar in my hand in the middle, I think you shoot here, it's almost time to cut, this is the editing point I left for you. That's the real thing!"

Jing Tian looked at Chen Daomin dumbfounded, thinking that this is not only to perform, but also to pay attention to the depth of field of the lens, control the amplitude of the performance, and also consider the problem of editing, this is too exaggerated, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, the actors you use are all monsters, and they are more ferocious than the other!"

Chen Daomin laughed and said: "Your master can also do it, if you want to talk about monsters, he is the real monster!"

Zhang Ran said: "You know it's amazing! For acting, there is always a sky outside the sky, and it needs to be learned for a lifetime, just like cultivation." ”
