Chapter 369: Initiative
Xu Jinglei returned to the capital and joined the filming of the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a year, playing the role of Jade Jiaolong again, she has a familiar strangeness.
In this play, Yu Jiaolong is already a mother, although she is still arrogant and domineering, and her personality has not changed, she has more life experience and has more means to deal with things.
Like herself, she has grown a lot in the past year or so.
When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xu Jinglei was in a state of passive acceptance, both for the director's requirements and for Chen Daoming's guidance, which was a habit developed in school.
Schools in China still use indoctrination teaching methods, which leads to poor student initiative.
A good actor can't just passively accept, but also have the initiative, think about how I want to play the role, not how others tell me how to act, and have my own ideas.
When there is a deviation between your own ideas and the director's requirements, you can negotiate with the director.
Like Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming, they are such actors, and he will tell the director that I think it is good to act like this.
As a result, many people think that they are difficult, you just honestly follow the director's requirements to film, why do you make these messy things, waste everyone's time.
In the film and television industry, most actors passively accept it, and there are not many actors who are active.
Either because they don't want to challenge the authority of the director, or because they feel that it doesn't matter, anyway, they can shoot with money, and they can shoot whatever they want.
Xu Jinglei has learned anything in the past year, that is, actors must take the initiative and take the initiative to participate in the role, I think this role should be played.
It is not obvious in the process of filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", after all, it is just a martial arts drama, and there is not much room to play.
When it was time to shoot "Spring in a Small Town", she had a deep experience.
Every time she stood aside and watched Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen and Yu Feihong keep trying a line for a position, she felt that this was shaping the character.
Tian Zhuangzhuang gave the actor a lot of room to play, he didn't say how you should act or how you shouldn't act, he only said the basic state of the character, how you think it is suitable.
Xu Jinglei didn't adapt to it at first, although Dai Xiu she played was a supporting role, she appeared a lot of times.
After all, there are only five characters in this play, and they still live in a mansion, and they always have to meet together.
Dai Xiu is innocent, yearning for the outside world, admiring the young doctor who came back from the big city, and is a very simple character.
Xu Jinglei felt that there was nothing to dig into the heart of this character, as long as she cooperated with other actors, but Zhang Guoli taught her a vivid lesson.
The servant Lao Huang played by Zhang Guoli does not have as many scenes as Xu Jinglei, but every time he appears, he has a different feeling.
As a servant, he was loyal to the young master, felt sorry for the young grandmother, took good care of the guests at home, and fulfilled his duties as a servant.
There are several ways to express loyalty alone, patient persuasion, sighing alone, boiling medicine for the young master, pouring the medicine residue at the back door, from these details, you can see the servant's intentions.
This is the layering of the performance, full of variety.
You can learn a lot by working with excellent actors, especially in literary films, the actors' performances are amplified, and every expression is like a freeze frame, and the audience can see at a glance whether the performance is good or not.
Therefore, if you want to hone your acting skills, you will make literary films, and if you want to make money, you will make commercial films.
Xu Jinglei doesn't have a long-term plan at the moment, she will graduate in two months, and after graduation, she should sign in to the Good Dream Company and become a member of the Good Dream Company.
Lin Zixuan talked to her about future planning, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the focus.
If there is no accident in this drama, there will be an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and the director is likely to be Li Yu from Baodao, as a student of the film school, Xu Jinglei naturally knows who Li Yu is.
It was a Chinese-American director who had achieved success in Hollywood.
When domestic filmmakers talk about Hollywood, they often have two attitudes, one is eagerness, and many directors have the determination to win the Oscar.
Almost all of the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film selected in China every year are the works of those big directors.
Zhang Yimou's film was shortlisted for the Oscar, but unfortunately did not win.
There is also a kind of contempt and contempt for Hollywood commercial movies, which is a bit of a sour meaning of not being able to eat grapes.
In general, the domestic media and insiders have expectations for the Oscars, and the actors want to go around Hollywood.
In the 80s, many domestic female actors went to Hollywood to develop, which is a proof.
As a Chinese director who has gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, Li Yan will naturally attract attention, and everyone wants to understand what the key to his success is and why his films can be accepted by foreigners.
Research on Li Eucalyptus in the past two years is not uncommon in China.
But most researchers attribute Lee's success to his film knowledge in the West, arguing that we can replicate Lee's success if we send students to film schools in the United States to study their filmmaking models.
This is a bit wishful thinking, if it was really that easy, domestic movies would have been saved a long time ago.
Xu Jinglei knew that if it was really Li Yu to direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it would be both an opportunity and a challenge for her.
Her advantage lies in having played the role of Yu Jiaolong, and Lin Zixuan's support, but it is difficult to say whether she will play Yu Jiaolong at that time, what should Li Yu do if she is not satisfied with her?
Xu Jinglei read the script of the movie version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in this script, Yu Jiaolong's role was reduced a lot, and the roles of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian were added, and the three of them were quite average.
But among the three actors, her acting skills are the weakest.
According to Lin Zixuan's schedule, she still has more than a year to prepare for this role, and during this time, she has to turn herself into a jade dragon.
As a director, Zhang Jizhong can clearly feel the changes in Xu Jinglei.
When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xu Jinglei's performance was not good, and the TV series did not cause much repercussions after it was broadcast, but the prequel was very popular, and the performances of Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen and others were quite exciting.
For the postquel filmed now, Zhang Jizhong doesn't have much expectations, and just wants to draw an end to this series.
The main actors are newcomers, Xu Jinglei and Xia Yu are only supporting roles, the story takes place in the desert, although the desert yellow sand is very meaningful, but it lacks the quaint cultural connotation of the capital.
Xu Jinglei's extraordinary performance made Zhang Jizhong see a glimmer of hope, and at this time, Yu Jiaolong had a heroic demeanor, not a delicate girl. (To be continued.) )
