After sending Huang Shimu away, Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, this brother is really still the same as before, with a warm heart, but he is a little regardless of the situation or the right time.

From Gao Yala's expression just now, Li Zheng could see that although the girl was not very dissatisfied, she was obviously a little caught off guard by this sudden proposal.

However, thinking about Huang Shimu's character, Li Zheng could only shake his head and smile.

If this brother hadn't been warm-hearted and did things regardless of the situation, with his indifferent character in the company, the two would not have become friends.

"All my friends are gone?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, Li Zheng suddenly turned around, stared forward, and when he saw the middle-aged lady standing in front of him with black-rimmed glasses, he quickly bowed and said politely: "Screenwriter Yin." ”

The middle-aged lady is none other than Yin Zhilian, the screenwriter of "Boys Over Flowers".

In South Korea, the authority of screenwriters is huge.

Good screenwriters are at the heart of TV creation, they can select actors, directors, and take care of everything in the filming process, and their influence can be carried through the entire production. Not only can the director not modify the script completed by the screenwriter without authorization, but it is also disrespectful to the screenwriter for the actor to modify the lines.

Many Korean dramas even have a screenwriter responsibility system, investors look at the screenwriter's investment, and the screenwriter can choose the director and actors by himself.

As a newcomer who has just debuted, he only plays a temporary role in "Boys Over Flowers", and it stands to reason that Li Zheng should not attract Yin Zhilian's attention. But the identity of a graduate of Yale University in the United States gives him an aura that is different from other actors. After all, in the entertainment industry, actors with such academic qualifications can be said to be rare and extremely rare, and Yin Zhilian is inevitably curious.

After coming into contact with Li Zheng, after a few small talks, Li Zheng's knowledge and cultivation made Yin Zhilian have a good impression, so he paid more attention to him and liked him more.

"Two more scenes, your filming is over, are there any new audition arrangements?"

Although I like Li Zheng very much, "Boys Over Flowers" is an adapted script after all, and the role played by Li Zheng has a very limited role in the original script, in order not to destroy the plot context, although Yin Zhilian likes Li Zheng, she will not make major changes to the script for him.

Hearing Yin Zhilian's words, Li Zheng said: "My acting skills are still very jerky, although I have been taught by Director Jeon Ki-sang these days, and the seniors of the crew have also given me a lot of guidance, but my acting skills still have a lot to be desired." I want to wait until the filming is over, and then spend time studying and studying the performance, and then look for opportunities when I have a certain foundation in acting. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Yin Zhilian nodding with a smile, Li Zheng's mind turned slightly, remembering the screenwriter's status in South Korea, and asked again: "Screenwriter Yin, I know that writers have a lot of unique insights when creating characters, I don't know if I can take the liberty to disturb you, please give me some advice." ”

Yin Zhilian smiled warmly, groaned slightly, and nodded: "Okay." Although I'm not very professional in acting, I do have some experience in character building, so let's talk about it. ”

She pondered for a moment before she spoke: "I'm not familiar with the actors' performances, so I'll talk about my understanding of the drama and the characters.

To put it simply, there is a saying that is very popular among writers - life is like a play, and drama is like life.

Drama comes from life and is higher than life, so it can be said that drama is the refinement of life.

If something is unlikely to happen in real life, it shouldn't happen in fictional stories either. Although fictional stories are different from real life, real life is still the guide for writers to create works.

But drama comes from life, but it is not actual life, it must be higher than life. Drama must abstract life and extract its essence, but it must not become an abstraction of life and lose the original flavor of actual life.

Drama reflects the truth of real life, but drama is not equal to reality, it is a condensed and reinforced reality.

It is the essence and essence of real life, and in a sense, it is more realistic than real life. Moreover, it can never be as tepid as it is in real life. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Zhilian glanced at Li Zheng, saw that he was focused, and there was no impatience, so she couldn't help nodding and smiling: "Actually, I am telling you this because I think that actors and writers are the same, and they are also summaries and refinements of life and human nature."

The performance of an actor is also inseparable from life.

The actor's performance object is people, and if it is a person, it must fit the real situation. For example, if you play a character who is usually stingy and unscrupulous as generous and helpful, this is obviously against reality.

Or, when a character expresses regret for the loss of a strange friend, you act as sad, which is obviously out of the logic of human nature. And a performance that is divorced from human ethics, ethics, and logic is naturally an unsuccessful performance.

Because it is detached from the essence of life......"

After a slight pause, Yin Zhilian sorted out her thoughts, and then continued: "Next, I'll tell you about character building.

Human minds are ever-changing, diverse, and different, just as no two leaves in the world are exactly the same, and different characters also have different personalities.

For example, the basic elements of human feelings, such as joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sorrow, sorrow, fear, fear, and so on. The basic emotions of human beings are fixed, but just like the permutations and combinations in mathematics, different combinations and arrangements will produce thousands of forms, forming various types of colorful and diverse personalities.

But these personalities will have one thing in common, that is, the characters will have a most original purpose when they act.

Each character has its own purpose, or in other words, each character has its own beliefs, and if you clarify this purpose or belief, you can be prepared to grasp the context of the character's words and actions, so that how to better shape the character in the work will become relatively easy.

For example, the character of the elder Grandet created by the French writer Balzac in the work "Eugenie Grandet" has always run through the character trait of the old Grandet's miserliness. Grasp this characteristic, and then use events or actions to show this characteristic of the old Grande, you can create a good character.

It's like a big tree, the trunk is the root, the branches and leaves are the decoration, and only when you have the trunk can the branches and leaves be attached. ”

Yin Zhilian looked at Li Zheng again and smiled warmly: "Although I only have a one-sided understanding of acting, I think there will be no big difference in these most basic commonalities."

When an actor is performing, as long as he grasps the most original purpose of the role, or desire and desire, then he can grasp the character's action context, know what actions and what way to deduce, and can best match the character's character development. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Zhilian seemed to think of something, and said to Li Zheng: "I suddenly remembered that there is a method that may help you understand and shape the character more easily. ”

She paused, pondered for a moment, and continued: "I've heard a saying that the better an actor is, the more specific the situation will be. I think it's the same as when a writer writes, the more specific the situation in his mind, the more coherent and easy it is to think when writing.

When I create a character, I write a biography of the character. From the character's origin, gender, age, hobbies, experience, personality, etc., there will be a general and systematic description, so that the character's identity background and growth experience are clear, and when creating, I can better grasp the character and shape the character's character.

In fact, if you think about it, it's the same as you actors playing roles.

If you are familiar with a character from birth to adulthood, every stage of his life, every journey. If you know his family background, his growth environment, his upbringing, how his character is formed, what he likes and dislikes, his habitual actions, his mantras, and his inner fears, then this character has been resurrected in you.

In other words, the more detailed you are about the character and the more you know about it, the better you will be able to grasp the character and know how to interpret and interpret it. ”

Yin Zhilian seemed to think of something again, shook her head and smiled: "Of course, there is a premise here. That is, you must have the ability to analyze the role, and you must stick to the most basic character of the character set by the partner. Otherwise, even if you know this method, you will not be able to use it, and you may fall into the shackles of patterning.

After all, the human mind is ever-changing. In addition to the most fundamental character, people have experienced different setbacks in different periods, and their minds will have different growth and development, and there will be different changes. People's personalities are not static, and will change accordingly with different environments and experiences.

If you can't grasp this, you'll just fall into a stereotyped cage. ”

Seeing Li Zheng nodding in agreement, the smile on Yin Zhilian's face brightened a little, she paused slightly, and continued: "Just like you actors said about liberating the **** nature, I don't understand it very well." But the English word for nature is simple: nature, that is, nature.

Naturally, as I understand it, it is true, coordinated, reasonable and logical. If nature is understood in terms of truth, then nature can be divided into physical and psychological. Physiology is words, deeds, and actions, and psychology is emotion and change.

Human emotions govern human behavior.

As long as emotions and behaviors can echo each other, coordinate naturally, and conform to reason and logic, then an actor performs the most natural state, that is, in line with the audience's psychology and expectations, I think he is a good actor. ”

Yin Zhilian's words fell, Li Zheng seemed to have a thunderous roar in his mind, he connected the words that Yin Zhilian told before and after, and instantly produced a kind of enlightenment, combined with the books he had read in the past about character building and performance skills, his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
