"Lights in place", "photography in place", "group performance in place", ......

"Truman's first scene in the world, the first shot, the first shot!"

"Smack"

The sound of a slap sounded, the field notes quickly evacuated, and Duane shouted "Go!" and the people on the street walked around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The camera is facing a wall, on which hangs a large wall advertisement, a clear Unilever U-shaped logo, and the logo is surrounded by Unilever's corporate slogan: Where there is a home, there is Unilever.

In front of the camera, the two group actors walked past the right side of the camera, while Zhou Xingchi entered the frame from the left side of the camera and walked on the right.

Gray suit, mousse hair, and a briefcase under his arm, exactly like an office white-collar worker. His hair, which has always looked thick, has also been cut short at the moment, the top is thin, the sideburns on both sides are all cut off, and the hair on the back of the head has also been cut off.

It took a lot of effort to get him to accept this new look, it was coercion and temptation, and in the end, it was under the double offensive of the contract and the Huabiao Award that he finally changed his decades-old habit and cut such a haircut.

When Zhou Xingchi was about to come out of the frame from the left, two people walked in from outside the camera on the left and stopped him.

"Good morning, Truman!"

One of them greeted Zhou Xingchi, and the other one started very simply and directly, grabbing Zhou Xingchi's arm to prevent him from leaving, and pulling Zhou Xingchi's body skewed.

"Good morning......"

Zhou Xingchi also greeted him "in surprise", and the tail note was elongated, and the sound stopped abruptly after a second or two.

It can be seen from the footage that in this process, his eyes turned around the two people, and with his voice, it was obvious that he was thinking about the question "Who are these two guys?", and the abrupt end of the end note showed that he still didn't remember who these two guys were, so he could only end the greeting with a "good morning".

I don't have to say anything about the performance, it's just that this accent is weird.

In recent years, with the rapid acceleration of the pace of cooperation between Xiangjiang and the mainland, the Mandarin level of a large number of Xiangjiang stars has improved rapidly, and Zhou Xingchi is also one of them, but it still can't meet Duan's requirements, so it still has to be re-dubbed in the later stage, and now it is a lip sync.

The actor who grabbed Zhou Xingchi with his hand just now greeted after Zhou Xingchi finished his lines: "How is your wife?"

The actor performed a little hurriedly, his movements were quite large, a little rough, and the traces of watching the performance were very heavy.

The total salary of other actors is less than two million, how good acting skills can you expect from a special actor with such a salary to be?

But Duane didn't stop after seeing this scene from the camera.

Zhou Xingchi, who was pressed to the wall by the special actor, hit the hard frame of Unilever's wall billboard with his back, which made him subconsciously frown and glance at the thing that hit him.

But the director didn't stop shouting, and the performance was going to continue.

Zhou Xingchi put a smile on his face again and said to the two of them, "She's fine." Immediately changed the subject and asked, "How are you doing?"

"It's good, it's good......"

The two special actors nodded again and again, according to the provisions in the script, "short of words for a while", and the actor with heavy performance traces after the second in his heart said: "It's really unexpected to see you today." ”

"Me too, me too. ”

"We still have something to do, so we'll go first. ”

"Okay, okay. ”

When the two passed by him, Zhou Xingchi didn't forget to turn around and pull business, "Do you want to consider buying an insurance? The twins are now at a special price!" with a formulaic smile on his face.

"Stop!"

Duane finally shouted at this point, "Go! ready for the next one!"

"Oh!" "Bang Bang Bang......

The first scene of the group was passed at one time, which is exciting good news.

After all, everyone is here to work, or to such a place, everyone wants to finish the work as soon as possible and go back to their warm and safe home, so they all hope that the filming work can be carried out smoothly, and the one-time passing of the first shot undoubtedly indicates that the shooting work will go smoothly, and they will probably not be able to leave here for a long time, so it is no wonder that many people spontaneously applauded.

In the crowd that was all happy, there was one person who was not happy.

Zhou Xingchi walked in the direction of Du An, walked in front of him and said to him: "Director Du, I don't think it's good in that scene just now. That actor's performance is terrible," he said, gesturing at the actor who had been playing with him and pinning him against the wall.

"I think it's better to do it all over again, and you'd better talk to him about the play again. ”

Duane knew this was going to happen.

He had already considered such a problem when he wanted to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, and signed an additional contract for this purpose, but when it came to the end, he still couldn't prevent this kind of thing from happening.

This has probably become Zhou Xingchi's instinct, so he can only say to him with a pleasant face: "Mr. Zhou, I don't think there is a problem with the performance just now." ”

Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was about to speak, Du An took the first step and said: "That's right, that actor's performance is a little bad, and the performance traces are very serious, but this is exactly the effect I want, do you understand? ”

Duane didn't immediately take out the contract, but wanted to try to convince the other party from a technical point of view, and if so, then he would be more confident in the smooth cooperation between the two parties in the next cooperation process.

After hearing Du An's explanation, Zhou Xingchi, who was still open to speak just now, stopped talking, frowned and stood in place and thought about it, and figured it out after a while. Then he nodded, closed his mouth again just about to speak, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then if that's the case, it's fine, but if that's the case, I have a problem with my performance just now." I thought about it for a moment, my reaction was too simple, and I should have been able to express the emotion of 'are you sick?' and then having to laugh more abundantly. ”

Duane continued to explain: "No, I think your natural reaction just now is very good, natural and smooth, and the level is enough, I am very satisfied, I really don't need to do it again." ”

But Zhou Xingchi was not satisfied, and continued: "No, I thought about it just now, in fact, my performance just now can be divided into three levels to perform......

Listening to Zhou Xingchi's words, Du An's mind was left with only one thought.

Boy......

He finally experienced what other directors were afraid of when they worked with Zhou Xingchi.

What many actors want to hear most when filming is that the director shouts "pass", even if many people know that their performance can go further, but after hearing the director shout "pass", they will not mention it again.

But Zhou Xingchi is the opposite, he seems to be afraid that the director will shout "pass", and he will have to toss something to be happy when he has nothing to do.

This work attitude is indeed serious enough...... No, this is not serious anymore, this has reached the point where it must be compared, almost perverted, no wonder so many directors can't stand it. And one of the obvious characteristics can be seen from it, that is, he does not believe in the director, he only believes in himself.

Compared with those old oilers on the set, Zhou Xingchi has gone to another extreme.

This guy is a Virgo, right?

Duane couldn't help but have such an idea popping into his head.

After Zhou Xingchi finally finished speaking, Du Yin said: "It's really okay, sometimes the performance is not as rich as possible, you must know that the audience is not a god, the amount of information they can accept in their minds for a while is limited, if you perform too richly, it will not only make their brains messy, but also disrupt your own rhythm, making the whole picture not so good." ”

This is not Du An's words to prevaricate Zhou Xingchi, but his personal experience.

He also has the identity of an actor, and he has acted in a lot of plays, and he did have such an idea when he started acting, and he always felt that the more complex the performance, the better, not only the audience looked wonderful but also seemed to be awesome, but fortunately he was also a director.

Many times after he saw his performance on camera, some of the ideas that he thought were good at the time were reflected in the camera, but they didn't seem to work as well as he imagined.

Undoubtedly, from a technical level, his complex performance is really amazing, I think this guy is really good, but the movie is an overall art, not a personal stage for you to show your acting skills, the actor's acting skills are for the whole movie service, many times if you change the way of acting, if it is simpler, the overall effect reflected in that moment is better.

Insiders say that "bad movies make actors", except for someone's acting skills that do outperform others in the film and appear extraordinarily outstanding, the actor's one-man show actually dragged down the whole film to a certain extent. For example, this shot should obviously show character B, but the light of actor character A is too dazzling, blooming unscrupulously, completely suppressing character B, so this shot is meaningless, and it is the same in this shot just now.

Duane's rhetoric didn't convince Zhou Xingchi as he did just now, he just laughed and asked, "Then you mean that it's better for me to act a little badly?"

Once again, Duane experienced Zhou Xingchi's personality.

Zhou Xingchi's words were already a bit provocative, and the smell of gunpowder began to permeate, and Du An continued to reason with him with a smile: "Of course not, your performance just now is not bad, but our focus is different." I'll admit, like you said, you could have done a lot more in your performance, like you said it was divided into three levels, but what was the point of that?"

Zhou Xingchi continued to ask rhetorically: "Why is it meaningless? If I am a supporting role, I know what you are afraid of, afraid that the supporting role will steal the limelight of the protagonist, but I am the protagonist now." ”

Duane shook his head.

"No, you're not the main character. ”

Zhou Xingchi was stunned: He is not the protagonist?

The script clearly says that he is the protagonist!

Just when Zhou Xingchi began to wonder if Du An's entered Alzheimer's disease ahead of schedule, Du An's said: "From the whole play, you are the protagonist, but from the scene just now, you are not the protagonist, the real protagonist is the billboard behind you and the special actor who played the trick just now." In this scene, your task is not to shine your light, to show your character, you just need to give the appropriate response, you have to give the audience's focus to them, they are the protagonists of this scene, you are just a supporting role in this scene, if you show too much and steal the light of the 'protagonist', then this shot will not achieve the effect I want. ”

When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he stopped speaking and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he thought for a long time and didn't speak, Du ane added: "As the protagonist, it's not enough to take care of yourself, sometimes he has to be able to take care of the actors around him, and sometimes he even has to be willing to be green leaves, so that the effect of the whole play is good." Mr. Zhou, you have also been a director, I believe you should be able to understand this aspect better than other pure actors, right?"

Du An's view is from the overall situation of the director, and he doesn't know if Zhou Xingchi can understand and accept his ideas.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Xingchi raised his head and looked at Du An, and said very seriously: "What you said makes sense, but I still think that the scene just now should be done again." ”

In the past, most of Zhou Xingchi's appearance on the screen was funny and exaggerated, and even distorted his face into a strange shape, which was very funny, so this also made his serious appearance more contrasting and solemn.

The atmosphere is getting more and more solemn, and it's hard to say whether it will be quarreled or even a big fight if it goes on like this.

Du An wanted to take out the contract immediately, but he gave up the idea after a little turn of his mind, and just nodded to Zhou Xingchi, "Okay, if you have to do it all over again, then do it all over again." After finishing speaking, he also specially instructed: "You first straighten out the way you want to perform." After speaking, he picked up the speaker and shouted to the staff who were busy preparing for the next scene: "Attention units, come again with one shot!"

"Huh?" "What's the situation?" "I've got all the lights set......

The staff was stunned for a while, but after seeing the two people here, the experienced people in the circle roughly guessed a rough idea, and began to prepare for the scene just now. Those who didn't quite understand the inside story chased after some staff members with "I see" written on their faces, and whispered to ask what the situation was.

And this scene was naturally watched by the sharp-eyed Duane.

It seems that Zhou Xingchi's work style is really well-known in the circle.

After announcing that he would do it again, Duane sat back in his director's chair and waited for the scene to happen again.

It is true that he can suppress Zhou Xingchi by talking about the contract, but he doesn't want a protagonist who is unconvinced now, he wants to try to see if he can make him accept it.

Anyway, being idle on this sea is also idle, so let's play slowly. (To be continued.) )
