Chapter 223, my name is Li Zhi!
September 20th. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Heshui took his team from Xiangjiang to the capital.
As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed to Li Zhifan's studio non-stop.
"Director Yu, if you have something to do with me, just video call me, why bother to come in person!"
As soon as he saw the other party, Li Zhifan said straight to the point, "I promised to take this drama, when the filming starts, you can just talk to my agent!"
Yu Heshui smiled: "It's not that I can't let go of it, so I'll talk to you personally! You probably know about our play, but in order to make sure that in case, I hope you can go to those film and television bases to experience a few days and enrich your acting experience!"
There are many schools of acting, including Stanislavsky's experiential school, a master who believes that the actor should be organically unified with the character, and that life in front of the camera is not acting.
However, the biggest disadvantage of the experiential school is that it is easy for actors to be trapped in a role and unable to get out, which eventually causes depression and other mental illnesses.
There is also Brecht's expressionism, who advocates that actors should not be one with the character, not only to keep their distance, but also to evaluate the role they play.
In addition, there is also the skill school, this kind of actor can do what he is like, not only can he create characters similar to his identity, temperament, and habits, but also can create characters who are far away, and those who can flexibly master acting skills are all old drama bones, and they are also very rare personality actors, which has risen to the highest level of performing arts, and it is difficult for ordinary actors to achieve.
Finally, there is a kind of true color school, Yu Heshui advocated from the beginning to choose graduates who often play tricks on the set to play the leading role in this movie, because they have a kind of newcomer's jerkiness, habitual body language, and academic professionalism, and can act in their true colors.
And he agreed with Li Zhifan, who was recommended by Liao Feng, and Li Zhifan already had experience in running tricks, but this experience was not rich enough, so he put forward a suggestion to let Li Zhifan go to major studios to run tricks and learn more experience.
Li Zhifan knows his own level, he absorbs Zhang Yishan's "Actor Skills", and Zhang Yishan is a child star, and he is starry all the way, even if he makes a cameo appearance, he always has a little aura of the protagonist, and now on Li Zhifan, this problem is still unabated.
In terms of performance, he also inherited the combination of Zhang Yishan's skills and expressionism, but because he himself has not systematically learned acting, but subconsciously has this ability, strictly speaking, he is still at a relatively low level.
At present, domestic film and television performances have fallen into a strange circle, and Xiao Xianrou, who is paralyzed and has no acting skills, is the most popular, because they have a large number of fans, and young actors with a little acting skills are also dogmatic performance methods, adding some imitation to textbook-style emotional actions.
Although Li Zhifan's self-evaluation of his acting skills is low-level, he is already much stronger than those young fresh meats.
"Director Yu, give me a week to ensure that this task is completed!" Li Zhifan said.
"A week?"
Yu Heshui was surprised, "Let's add another week!
"Don't worry!" Li Zhifan smiled, "I have my way!"
Looking at Li Zhifan's unquestionable eyes, Yu Heshui nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare now, I will arrange for someone to pick you up over there in Xiangshan, and convene the media to write a press release, and a week later, hold a start-up press conference in Xiangshan!"
Time is very tight, Li Zhifan booked a ticket to Ningbo on the same day, and made arrangements in Jufeng, preparing to go to the film and television base in Xiangshan to run tricks.
The next day, after taking another plane and a car, Li Zhifan finally came to Xiangshan Film and Television City after a few hours.
Jufeng Pictures and Film and Television City have cooperated a lot, and many dramas invested in the mainland in recent years have also been filmed here, and there are channels and relationships, so it is not a problem to arrange Li Zhifan to find some crews to perform as a group.
Before leaving, Li Zhifan also learned from Zhou Ke that Liang Tian recently followed a documentary crew from a CCTV production center to shoot in Xiangshan.
So after arriving that day, I contacted Liang Tian as soon as possible and made an appointment to have dinner together.
In the evening, inside the hotel's restaurant.
As soon as Li Zhifan entered the door, he saw Liang Tian waving to him.
"Zhifan!"
Before he sat down, Liang Tian said, "You are also a star now, why do you want to come here to suffer this crime?"
"Didn't I explain it to you just now?"
Li Zhifan said with a smile, "I came here to find a feeling in order to have a deeper understanding of the characters!"
"What kind of drama did you take?"
Liang Tian asked, Li Zhifan didn't tell him yesterday, and he still doesn't know anything about it.
"It's a movie anyway!" Li Zhifan said, "The protagonist's profession is to play tricks!"
"Movie?" Liang Tian frowned, "I found you a TV drama crew, which is different from making a movie!"
"Oh?" Li Zhifan asked, "why is it different?"
After Liang Tian jumped to the CCTV production center, he also learned a lot of knowledge in this area, and talked eloquently at the moment: "The performances of movies and TV series are different in size, precision, rhythm and style, the size of movie performances is the smallest, and more facial expressions are used to release emotions and show surprise, maybe you only need to blink your eyes, and TV series need larger limbs and lines to release emotions, you will know this if you have experienced it!"
Li Zhifan smiled: "I didn't expect you to be proficient in acting now." ”
"I don't know anything about it, I listen to my colleagues chat!"
Liang Tian shook his head, "By the way, are you planning to be an actor professionally?"
"The previous cameos were just play tickets!"
Li Zhifan said, "But I read the book this time, the idea is very good, I also want to try, to the point that it is not professional! How much is it to increase fame, in this era, creativity, content, and works are actually not as good as people, a star's popularity has risen, and it is convenient for him to publish any work!"
"Now some phenomena are too extreme!"
Liang Tian said, "Some works are not popular, and some people are popular but have no good works, both of which will stop in a few years, but in this circle, you still have to be down-to-earth, to win popularity, and to have a strong work foundation!"
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, talked a lot this night.
Finally, he went upstairs and returned to the hotel room, chatting for several hours, until almost midnight, and Liang Tian left.
Five o'clock in the morning the next day.
Li Zhifan got up early, washed his face a little, and left the room.
Jufeng had already helped him contact the actor and assistant director of a crew and made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby.
Get out of the elevator.
Li Zhifan raised his eyes and looked around, and found that a young man was also looking at him, so he walked up and asked, "Hello, is it Director Xu Ge?"
"Are you Li Zhifan?" asked the young man.
Li Zhifan nodded and said, "It's me!"
"Oh, hello! just call me Brother Xu, don't call me the director!"
Xu Ge smiled, "You may meet big directors everywhere in this place, so let's keep a low profile." ”
"I understand!"
Li Zhifan said, "Then Brother Xu, shall we leave now?"
"Actually, I don't need to!"
Xu Ge said, "It mainly depends on what you mean, I'm going out to pick up the actors now, do you want to follow me? Or wait until seven o'clock to find me on the set?"
Li Zhifan thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you! You also know the purpose of my coming, and talk to those group performers on the way." ”
"Okay, the car is already here, let's go!"
Xu Ge said, handed Li Zhifan a pair of filmless frames, and said, "Wear it to cover up, don't let the group performers recognize you." ”
For today, Li Zhifan didn't even wash his head, let alone take care of his hair, and he was wearing a washed white old clothes.
Although those who are familiar with him can still recognize him by looking closely, those who are not familiar with him or who only glance at him occasionally will definitely not recognize him.
The two of them got out of the hotel, walked for two minutes, turned an alley, and got into an MVP station wagon.
Li Zhifan sat in the back row, and with the bumps of the station wagon, he finally stopped after ten minutes.
It's a relatively shabby little hotel.
Xu Ge pushed open the door from the co-pilot and got out of the car, and said to Li Zhifan: "I'll pick up the actors, you just wait in the car." ”
After he left, only Li Zhifan and the driver were left in the car.
The driver took the initiative to talk to him: "Young man, what kind of group have you been with before?"
"It's my first time!" Li Zhifan smiled, it seemed that the driver didn't know his true identity either.
"The first time is a big special contract, huh?"
The driver was surprised, "Yes, is there any unique skill?"
Li Zhifan didn't quite understand, so he humbly asked: "Master, I don't understand much, what do you mean by big special and unique skills?"
The driver squinted at him from the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing: "What a little white? Okay, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Li Zhifan sat in the front row and listened.
"In general, there are two kinds of group performances, one is that they dream of being actors, or they want to make money. ”
The driver lit a cigarette and said, "There is also a farmer who lives in the local area, and is not the kind of young person who wants to be an actor, and the proportion is very high." ”
Li Zhifan took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording function, and began to record what the driver said.
"Some group actors mix well, so they play some roles with lines, and this kind of extras with lines are called the masses. ”
"In the big crowd, there is a group of people who play better, they work harder, they can play some characters with character, not only have lines, but also performance requirements, these people are called special extras. ”
"There are some outstanding extras in the special extras, they can play some through-line characters, such as housekeepers, servants, adjutants or something, they will sign a long-term contract with the crew, such people are called big special contracts. ”
"In addition, there are some big special invitations invited from the Quyi Acrobatic Troupe, and they will be asked to play some roles under the flyover, are you the one?"
The driver suddenly asked, Li Zhifan shook his head again and again, and said nonsense: "No, I just signed a contract with Brother Xu!"
"Oh, then you're very lucky, looking at your appearance, you should be playing a young master or something, did the script give you? How many lines do you have?" the driver asked.
"I don't know!"
Li Zhifan pretended to smile bitterly and said, "I only came to Xiangshan yesterday. ”
"Oh, then you have to be careful. ”
The driver said: "Director Liu has a bad temper, if you can't memorize the lines, it is likely that you will be fried and you won't get a penny!"
"Thank you, master, I understand!"
Li Zhifan nodded, and asked again, "Master, is there a senior group performance on the Internet?"
"Senior ensemble?"
The driver said with a smile, "No! From an extras to a big special, there is only one step away from a professional actor." But it is very difficult to take this step, only a very few people can take this step, and some big special parties even have their own assistants and have the style of professional actors. ”
"Oh...... Thank you, master, for answering your questions, I have been taught today!" Li Zhifan said.
"Hey, you're here for a week, be quick-witted, and know everything you need to know. ”
The driver said, "That's it, I'll leave you a number, if you don't have filming in the future, you can contact me at any time, and I can open the back door for you and walk the pathway." ”
Li Zhifan said: "That's so embarrassing!"
"Nothing to be embarrassed about. The driver took out another cigarette, lit the cigarette butt that had not been extinguished just now, and said: "In Xiangshan, everyone helps each other. Everyone already has their own organization, albeit not legally, but has begun to require maximum working hours per day, etc. Playing the dead will ask the crew to send red envelopes, otherwise they will make trouble. If it is windy and rainy, you have to add money to filming, otherwise you will have to make trouble. ”
The driver's words changed: "Little brother, you haven't joined any organization yet, have you?"
"No!" Li Zhifan shook his head.
"Hey!" the driver turned around and said, "Thanks to you for meeting me today, count yourself lucky, so let's do it! I'll introduce you to a group leader, there are some forces in Xiangshan, and many crews sell him face, if you have any difficulties in the group in the future, he will help you solve it and ensure that you will not be bullied." ”
"Really?"
Li Zhifan smiled, how could it be like a pyramid scheme in an instant?
However, he didn't intend to refuse, approaching such an organization, maybe he could get in touch with this industry in depth, which would be of some help to filming, so he said: "That's it, master! I'll call you after I finish work in the evening, and you can take me to meet this big brother when the time comes!"
"Done!"
The driver said, "You remember my phone number! Come, give me a ring, and I will also save your number." ”
Li Zhifan took the opportunity to call over, this number is the local number of Xiangshan, Yu Heshui helped him do it, anyway, he will only use it for a week, and he will not use it again in the future.
The driver saw Li Zhifan's call and asked, "What's your name, I'll remember it." ”
"My name is ......"
Li Zhifan thought for less than a second, "Li Zhi!"
"Li Zhi?"
The driver said while typing, "This name is too ordinary, there are at least more than 300,000 people calling this in the country, if you want to be popular, you still have to have a special and loud name, call the fortune teller to help you see it another day, change the name!"
"Names are code names!"
Li Zhifan said casually, "It's okay!" (To be continued.) )
