Section 13: Methodology

A group of people surrounded and coaxed for a long time, and finally comforted Yang Yilin's children, and the director and producer here were already gathered behind the monitor to study Du An's audition table just now.

Shu Yu looked at it carefully for a while and asked Du An, "What do you think?"

"Pretty good. ”

Duane said.

He said this not for the 2,000 yuan remuneration, but because he really felt that he acted well and completely achieved the effect he wanted to see, and even felt that he acted much better than Zhang Jiayi and Zhu Yuchen's so-called professional actors. However, it is always not objective enough to evaluate himself by himself, so he asked a few professional actors standing next to him.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Jiayi said: "The acting is very good. This thirty-year-old Northwest man is not good at words, and this is already the best evaluation he can give.

Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuchen only nodded in agreement, but did not speak—they were really in no mood to speak now.

Shu Yu finally made a decision.

"Well, that's it. ”

So Duan, the director, became even busier, he put on makeup, changed clothes, and quickly adapted to his new job, for fear that Shu Yu would suddenly regret it and not let himself get this extra salary.

Shu Yu resumed his job as assistant director, and the crew quickly got up and running.

Although Yang Yilin's child was comforted and persuaded for a long time, Du An's perverted image just now had left a shadow in her heart, so although she was able to try to suppress herself from running away during the shooting, as soon as Du An performed, her fear was still unavoidable, crying and making trouble, which made Du An very surprised-he had been worried that this little actor would not be able to express such a fierce love, and he planned to give her as few shots as possible, but he didn't expect that he was self-defeating, but he did a good thing.

However, he still decided to give more shots to Zhu Qian instead of Yang Yilin's children.

It's not because this little actor's current love is not in place, but because Zhu Qian's performance is too satisfying!

This actress with a slightly big mouth may not be a beauty in terms of general aesthetics, but her acting skills are really good! Three-dimensional and vivid, especially good at handling small details, making the whole character come to life, just like the scene just now: In the play, Du Angang kidnapped Zhu Qian and Yang Yilin, tied the two to the end of the bed, and planned to molest the mother and daughter.

Du An asked the two to express their fear and despair, Yang Yilin's children cried non-stop because of the psychological shadow, which was quite qualified, and Zhu Qian used a combination of violent struggle, screaming and constant panting, which was particularly three-dimensional, rhythmic, real and credible, especially her eyes - when Du An's hand reached out to Yang Yilin, her eyes were firmly fixed on this hand, and the focus of her eyes was also moving as the hand moved, and at the same time, the struggle of the body became more and more intense. Even went crazy, trying to move in the direction of Yang Yilin, trying to cover this "daughter", and the strangled mouth kept making vague roars like "let go of her", and when Du An's hand moved away from Yang Yilin and stretched out to her, although she was still struggling, not wanting to be touched by this disgusting guy, her eyes were no longer so focused, and the love was obviously relaxed, and she grasped it very well, perfectly showing the true state of mind of a mother.

"Perfect, perfect!"

When Shu Yu shouted "pass", Duane praised it again and again—it was the first time he had reused the word on set since that rainy night.

Zhu Qian ignored him, but first closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, the expression on her face gradually relaxed, and then she opened her eyes, grinned loudly, and said, "Director Du, you play better." I'm really not slapping you on the back, if it weren't for your stimulation just now, I wouldn't have been able to do what I just did. Speaking of this, Zhu Qian raised her own question, "Director Du, don't you even adjust your feelings and go out of the play directly?"

"Huh?"

Duane was stunned. He is not a professional at all, and he can't understand what Zhu Qian is saying at all.

Zhu Qian explained: "Take me as an example, if the scene just now is going to be performed like that, I need to throw the whole person into it and turn myself into Yao Li to do it, otherwise it will be wrong." The end doesn't mean that the end can be over, and you don't need to adjust the situation, don't you?"

She could see clearly that Duane was almost out of the role almost as soon as Shu Yu shouted "pass" - from such a deep state of performance to the natural state at once, this transition from movement to stillness was so sudden that she was a little silly to see it just now.

"No, no,"

Duane replied without hesitation: "I just want to think about what kind of behavior Wang Xingfa will have in that environment, what kind of actions will he make, and then I will just do it." He paused for a moment and then added, "I call this the 'Epixiàn faction'." ”

In order to improve the problem that Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi's performances were not up to standard, he himself had been thinking about the performance method in private for a while, and he really figured out something for him.

"Cousin xiàn faction?"

Seeing Zhu Qian's puzzled look, Du An's embarrassed smile and continued: "What I have figured out by myself, simply put, is that I think acting can be divided into several ways, like you just said that your method of bringing yourself into the role, I call it 'experientialism', that is, I regard myself as this character, I don't think about how to perform, but move according to my current true emotions." As for the table xiàn faction, that is, what kind of table xiàn the character needs, we will give what kind of table xiàn, while maintaining a free state, don't enter the play, Zhu Yuchen and Zhang are also in this way. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Qian understood: Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi are really cousins, but the performances of these two actors are too formulaic in her opinion, in other words, too fake. Judging from the appearances alone, it is completely impossible to see that Duane and they use the same method.

Zhu Qian, who was exposed to Duane's theory for the first time, thought it was quite funny, and began to try this method in the next scene, but the effect was so bad that she was not satisfied with the three Duane shots, so she had to say to her: "You better use your method to perform." At the same time, I regretted it in my heart, why did I say this to Zhu Qian.

These things were originally made up by him, a layman, himself, and he couldn't do it accurately, and it was really harmful to say it.

After using her own experiential method, Zhu Qian really returned to the state that satisfied Du An, so she felt more and more that the things she was thinking about were unreliable, but Zhu Qian was very interested in these things, and caught Du An in the gap between the crew's preparations: "Director Du, in addition to the Epixiàn School and the Experience School, what other schools are there?"

"Uh,"

Du An didn't expect that there were still people who were interested in what he was thinking about, but since Zhu Qian asked, he had no choice but to answer: "There is also a method school, how to say it?" He thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "This method is between the table xiàn school and the experience school, he is not like the table xiàn school to use formulaic love xù to perform, but he does not need to substitute the role, but uses similar love xù to replace the effect required in the play. ”

"For example, let's say this scene is filming your husband's death, and you need to show the effect of grief and pain, and interpret it in a methodological way, that is, to think about some similar feelings, such as your cat died, or an elder died, or even the driver who took the taxi this morning found you fifty yuan less, as long as you can express the effect of grief and pain, anyway, the audience only sees you sad and painful, and they can't see why you are so sad. ”

After saying this, Du An's hurriedly added, "It's all something I thought about myself, you tried it just now, but it didn't work, so just listen to it, don't do it." ”

Zhu Qian had a thoughtful expression, "I think it's quite interesting, I couldn't do it just now, and I guess it's just a relationship that I'm new to and unfamiliar with." ”

She vaguely felt that Duane had opened up a new world in front of her—if she could integrate the three methods that Duane said, maybe her acting skills would be even better.

Looking at Zhu Qian's serious thinking, Du An's regret even more about why he said such a thing: if it was because of his messy theory, it would be a sin to bring the actor in front of him with excellent acting skills to the north.

had to persuade Zhu Qian to keep her performance style, and I don't know if Zhu Qian listened to it.

We don't know if Zhu Qian listened to it or not, but the brothers next to her really listened to it.

Zhang Jiayi, who was watching, was like Zhu Qian, thoughtful, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, while Zhang Yi next to him snorted and whispered to himself: "Bullshit!"

There were many talented people in the army drama troupe he was in before, but even in those places he had never heard similar remarks, presumably it was Duane's own nonsense. Especially for the experiential performance method, in his opinion, it is simply nonsense - if you can really act well by substituting yourself into it, then not everyone can be an actor?

Zhu Yuchen didn't think so.

He graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, which is the place with the highest concentration of cutting-edge talents in China's performance industry, especially the teachers of the acting academy, who are at the top of the pyramid in terms of performance theory, but they have never proposed the methods that Duane said.

If acting could really be divided into these three factions, wouldn't those teachers in the acting academy have already studied it?

Shu Yu, who paused for a moment, walked up again, and asked Du An to watch the scene just now, and the idea in his heart that the liar in front of him was a director genius was completely confirmed - a person who graduated from the Department of Management of the Medical College could summarize the acting routines and actually direct the actors to perform after just reading a few days of books, what is this not a genius? Not to mention that he has many ideas about the camera picture, even Chen Xin can't find fault with it.

After returning to the monitor with Shu Yu and watching the scene just now for a while, Duane frowned.

It's not that he and Zhu Qian didn't act well, on the contrary, his and Zhu Qian's performances were very good in his opinion, and the bad thing was the camera.

Like all previous scenes, here they use a simple positive and negative shot, which is the saying "shoot the front and back after shooting, and shoot A and B". The advantage of this method is that because the lens is fixed and the scene is very large, it doesn't matter if there are some small flaws in the actors' scheduling and performance, and they will not be overnoticed, but the disadvantage is that the shots are boring, and like the TV series, they lack the aura of the movie.

"Shoot differently,"

Du ane said to Chen Xin on the side, "Wait for the position of the camera to change." You stand in the position of camera No. 2, use the panorama, shoot all three of us in, use the zoom lens, give my body focus first, don't shoot my head in, and when I walk next to Zhu Qian, focus on Zhu Qian's face, pull the camera...... "I guess he really has a nerd talent, after reading a book for several days, he can also move out with a set of terms in style."

Because the acting skills of several leading actors have made Du An, it is not impossible to use a lens language similar to what Du An's wants now, but it is necessary to shoot a few more times, which is too costly, so the previous method was basically used to shoot in a positive and negative way, which is a good way to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses and save money, but now he and Zhu Qian's acting skills make Du An's feel fine, so he simply abandons that method and boldly adopts a more visually impactful method to shoot.

These scenes are probably the most enjoyable scenes for Duane, with endless ideas and various lenses that he didn't dare to use before - 360-degree subjective shots, large close-ups of pupils, zoom in with the same frame, a 40-second long shot from bottom to top from near to far......

In order to meet the whimsical requirements of our Director Du, the photographer Chen Xin is tired.

He jumped up and down, knelt and ran around, he could tire himself half to death after a scene, more tired than usual for two days of filming, and his arms were a little sore, except for when he had just graduated and was young and ignorant, when had he ever tossed himself so tired?

But tired and tired, Chen Xin didn't complain, but his face was full of energy: in the past two years, he either didn't shoot commercials, or didn't shoot some serials that couldn't even go to the TV station, and the requirements of those directors were very simple, basically put the position in a good position, and there was nothing to do with him, so that he gradually forgot that he was still a photographer.

Now he seems to have just come to life and returned to the years when his passion was burning.

So much so that after the filming of Zhu Qian and Du An's scenes, Chen Xin was still a little reluctant.

So did Duane - he didn't want his role to end, he wasn't interested in acting in the first place - he was reluctant to go back to the boring way of filming.

After a while, he really likes to "play" movies.

"Where are you going next?"

Duane asked Zhu Qian in front of him.

Zhu Qian's role has been completed, and she is about to leave the group, so she also changed her costume and put on her own clothes.

A simple white shirt on the upper body, a slightly loose hem with a knot at the waist, and a pair of cropped pants on the lower body, which is neat and neat.

Zhu Qian raised her hand freely, "I don't know, let's go to the union first to see if there is a crew to recruit people." ”

Duane is really a little reluctant to the actress in front of him, and he has never been so happy with the movie so far - basically all of them, and he is not timid to satisfy his various ideas in terms of performance.

If he could, he really wanted to add a few more scenes to Zhu Qian, but he just thought about it, after all, Yao Li played by Zhu Qian is just a small supporting role, and adding more scenes will only destroy the overall tone of the movie.

"If I have the next play, I will definitely find you to be the heroine. ”

Duane joked.

Of course, he also knew that he was just joking: after the filming of this drama, he will say goodbye to this circle completely, where will the next drama come from?

Zhu Qian smiled when she heard this, "Only you dare to let me be the heroine." ”

Duane was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

In his opinion, Zhu Qian's acting skills are more than enough to support a heroine.

Zhu Qian pointed to her mouth, "It's because of this mouth." ”

In fact, in terms of facial features alone, Zhu Qian is also a beauty, but her mouth is a little too big.

"Director Du, my salary for this drama is two thousand five, if this mouth is a little smaller, maybe it can reach five thousand. With such a mouth, who would dare to ask me to play the heroine? Then don't be scolded to death? So, I will be satisfied to play a supporting role. ”

Such frustrating words, Zhu Qian said with a smile.

Flying free and easy bright smile.

Du ane is completely incomprehensible to this strange film and television circle: just because his mouth is a little bigger, he denies a person's one-heartedness? This is too ridiculous! But looking at Zhu Qian, Du ane can only reluctantly accept the reality of this fucking -- this is a ridiculous circle.

"Actually, I think it's quite sexy to have a bigger mouth,"

As soon as the words came out, Duane regretted it: what kind of fuck talk was he talking about? Is it poking people's scars or molesting people? Comfort people will not, there is no girl in the university who wants to talk to him.

Fortunately, Zhu Qian didn't mind, just grinned, and finally, waved her hand, "Goodbye, Director Du." ”

"Goodbye. ”
