Chapter 81: Acting
In the process of film and television production, there is occasionally a situation where an actor does not 'stuck' a scene in one go. There is a technical term for this kind of scene, which is called a cross.
This happens from time to time in the production of TV dramas, because TV dramas do not have such high requirements for details, and no one will be held accountable for the slightest flaws. Movies require more detail, and this situation is even more difficult to come by.
Zhu Ziqing has also participated in the production of several film and television works, and has never seen a single one. Today he saw it.
Li Xingxue and Chen Daoxue completely substituted themselves into the roles, and every movement and every change in expression was so natural.
The lines that came out of their mouths were no longer lines, as if they were really talking to King Qin. To use a very clichΓ© phrase to describe the state of the two, they are Nameless and King Qin.
The five-minute conversation between the two did not make any mistakes, at least Zhu Ziqing did not find any mistakes, and Zhang Guoshi did not stop.
It wasn't until King Qin said the line "That is not to kill, it is peace" that Zhang Guoshi suddenly shouted: "Card." β
Zhu Ziqing was completely attracted by the performance of the two and was concentrating on appreciating it, and was startled by this sudden voice.
Zhang Guoshi didn't care about him at all, and called the two actors over to start explaining the plot: "Teacher Chen, Teacher Li, the next scene is the nameless stabbing King Qin with the hilt of his sword." You've all read the script, so let's figure out how to act it first, and strive to get through it today, so that everyone can rest early. β
"All units should also pay attention to it and make preparations in advance. After the shooting, we will stop work, and everyone will have a good rest and rest after leaving work early today. β
"Good ......," Zhang Guoshi's words drew cheers. After so many days of continuous reproduction, everyone is very tired. At this time, everyone is looking forward to nothing more than rest.
"How, what's the idea. At this time, Zhang Guoshi had time to talk to Zhu Ziqing.
"It's breathtaking, the performances of the two teachers are really wonderful. Sure enough, he is the top performing artist in China. Zhu Ziqing exclaimed.
"That's why I always like to work with these veteran actors, and it saves a third of the trouble. Zhang Guoshi is not without self-satisfaction.
He has a shortcoming that is not very criticized, that is, he likes to use old actors and rarely uses new actors. Every time a newcomer is activated, it is also very picky, even harsh.
"Everyone wants to cooperate with such artists, but it's a pity that the general crew can invite one or two such old actors. Seven or eight singing on the same stage, only a big name like you can have such a face. Zhu Ziqing was half emotional, half flattering.
In the past, although he respected artists with real materials, he also knew that they were very powerful. But there is no specific concept of how powerful it is. Today, I finally saw the charm of performing artists. It was a real treat to watch them perform.
"Haha...... You are a big boss and a big writer, don't just slap my ass at every turn. How cheeky I am. Zhang Guoshi pointed at Zhu Ziqing and said with a smile.
"But to put it arrogantly, there are really not many people in the entertainment industry who can bring together so many old drama bones. The main thing is that everyone cherishes feathers, and they don't act in scripts that aren't particularly good, and they don't act in actors who aren't distinctive.
The problem is that there are so many good scripts. Sometimes it's a bad script, sometimes it's a good script but the plot isn't suitable, and sometimes there's not so many good characters.
Anyway, even I can't guarantee that I can bring so many people together. It's up to you to play this time, otherwise they wouldn't have given me such face. β
Zhang Guoshi also learned from Zhu Ziqing's tone, half jokingly complimenting him.
Zhu Ziqing and Zhang Guoshi were chatting, when they heard Chen Daoxue say on the side: "Director Zhang, let's get right." β
This sentence is like a signal. Zhang Guoshi gave Zhu Ziqing an apologetic look, then the smile on his face retracted, and he began to direct the crew to act.
There was no need for him to command, and as Chen Daoxue's words landed, the people resting around them all acted spontaneously.
Zhang Guoshi's crew has gone through countless films and has a very tacit understanding. As long as Zhang Guoshi said a word, he could understand what he meant without elaborating at all, and make corresponding changes according to the requirements.
It only took a very short time for the entire crew to be fully ready for filming.
The two actors have thought about the script very thoroughly, and they have been thinking about it for a while just now to know how to perform next.
Nameless first stood close behind King Qin, and then took a step back to compare the distance. Then he just stood there and gestured to tell everyone that they were ready to shoot.
After receiving the signal, Zhang Guoshi shouted loudly: "Attention of all units, attention of all units." The gaffer prepares, and the cameraman is in place...... Begin. β
The two actors entered the play in an instant, and each entered the role of Nameless and King Qin. Then Nameless held the long sword in his right hand, jumped forward slightly, and the whole person happened to be attached to King Qin's back, and the hilt of the sword was not lightly or heavily stabbed at his waist.
I saw that the King of Qin played by Chen Daoxue trembled at first, and expressions of despair, unwillingness, disbelief, panic and other expressions appeared on his face.
Well, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, Zhu Ziqing would definitely be unable to help but applaud the wonderful performance of the two.
Although Li Xingxue only made a slight jump, don't look at this light jump first. If you use too much force, you will bump into Chen Daoxue, and if you use too much force, you will be too far away from the 'King of Qin'.
And his jump was not far away, not close, just right. If you hadn't seen him jump one step beforehand, and only look at the second half, his movements would have been like flying from a distance.
It can be seen that his grasp of distance and strength are very perfect. This is where the strength of an old actor lies, and he has accumulated a wealth of experience in his acting career. An inconspicuous detail can be taken care of.
Chen Daoxue's performance is even more exciting. At this time, King Qin didn't know that Nameless was stabbing him with the hilt of his sword, and in his feelings, he was indeed a sword. At this moment, his mind was the most complicated.
The fear of death, the disbelief that he is really dead, the unwillingness to die before the hegemony is completed, the confusion about the position, and so on.
The difficulty of such a complex expression appearing on a face at the same time can be imagined. But he did it, and he did it the first time.
For these old actors, Zhu Ziqing simply has a feeling of looking up to the mountains. It's amazing.
The next conversation was naturally even more problematic, and the last rivalry between Nameless and King Qin ended perfectly.
With Zhang Guoshi's "card" landing, the entire crew suddenly relaxed, and the atmosphere changed from solidification to relaxation.
"Let's pack up our things and go back to rest. A few teachers and assistants came over for a meeting to arrange tomorrow's shooting. Zhang Guoshi fulfilled his promise just now, and arranged for everyone to rest after filming. Others can rest, but he can't. I also have to arrange tomorrow's shooting mission.
In fact, it was an arrangement that was a matter of a few words, and when everyone gathered, he said: "I'll be here tomorrow to shoot a coercion scene." First shoot the shot of Nameless jumping up and stabbing King Qin with his sword. Then there is the martial arts scene between King Qin and the remnant sword.
The props team made preparations in advance, and several teachers went back at night to think about it. Let's try to finish filming this scene as quickly as possible. No problem, right?"
"No problem. Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, no problem, let's disperse first. Zhang Guoshi waved his hand to signal that everyone could move freely, and then said to Zhu Ziqing: "Teacher Zhu, don't leave yet, I have something to discuss with you." β
