Chapter 015: The Most Inconspicuous Beginning
At eight o'clock, the huge underground parking lot lost its noise, but it was full of life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nearly 100 performance lovers sat in front of a projector, with bright eyes with a desire for their dreams, and Tang Nian, who had already become the focus in front of the projector, was already calm.
Seeing that there should be no more performance enthusiasts coming, Tang Nian got up.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Nian, presumably after these few months of getting along, everyone already knows me, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know it, if you come here and get something, it's worth it! ”
"Someone said, Tang Nian, how did your acting skills come about? Why act like what? Tang Nian, why do you play a certain role like drinking water, but I play it so clumsily, like a clumsy imitator, why is this? ”
"Actually, the root cause of this lies in the sense of the camera!"
"Of course, before talking about the camera, I have a few questions here, and I would like to ask you to answer them together!"
"First, what is acting? Why do some people just come out of the camera, everyone says that he has good acting skills; Why do some people say that no matter how hard they try, you are an idol, why should you get along with your appearance? ”
"Second, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, as the so-called thousands of people have thousands of thoughts, why is the same role, someone plays it, everyone says, this is good, too similar, this character is tailor-made for him; But why do some people play the same role, and everyone says that it is ugly, ruins the three views, and ruins the childhood? Since Zhuyu is in front, why are there still people who go to the thunder one after another, is it because the investors have more money and their brains have become stupid, or the screenwriter has lost his memory and has not seen the previous version, or the actors don't know? ”
"Third, why are some people able to break through in all aspects after becoming popular overnight, and what is acting like? Why do some people feel like they are playing themselves after the fire? ”
"Fourth, in everyone's opinion, is it difficult to play ancient characters in costume dramas, or is it difficult to play modern characters in modern dramas?"
"Fifth, do you want to be an actor or a star? In this place where there is no future in sight, what is it that supports everyone to persevere? Was it on the spur of the moment or did you think about it for a long time? ”
"Sixth, why do you want to be an actor? After being exposed to real movies and TV series shooting, will you lose interest because the actors' performances are too fake? ”
"From the first question, let's give an example and talk about your own cognition!"
After Tang Nian's words, everyone fell silent for a while.
"I'll do it first!"
Ah Hua is a very active person in this kind of lecture, Tang Nian nodded, and he stood in front of the projector for Tang Nian.
"I personally think that acting, as the name suggests, is the skill of acting, but maybe when I say this, some people will refute that the investment of real feelings is the key to acting, right?"
"Yes, I can't deny that, but it seems to me that it's also a skill! After all, after stripping away from the real world, you can devote yourself to a character and invest in real feelings, which will make the character more three-dimensional and infectious. But emotional investment is not unlimited, when you don't have feelings for this role, no amount of emotion can be invested, at this time you need some skills to assist, the role is successfully played, presented in the picture! ”
So, how can you improve your acting skills? In my opinion, experience is a good technique. Beggars, Taoist priests, monks, these three types of occupations that have existed since ancient times are the most basic and most important roles that we should grasp as an actor; In addition to these three types of occupations, policemen, traders, thieves, doctors, nurses, officials, etc., in modern occupations, can grasp the personal feelings through observation and real experience, and extract the main points and grasp them realistically. However, this method of experience is incomprehensible to ancient characters, such as generals, ministers, prime ministers, emperors, princes, etc. But we can reshape and re-establish this kind of character through the description of historical books, so that he can conform to the cognition of modern people, after all, no one can go back to ancient times......"
"Whoa......
After expressing his opinion, Ah Hua stepped off the stage amid a round of applause, and then another young man took the stage.
This person Tang Nian is also familiar with him, he is a fellow from He Nan like Ah Hua, called Nian Shan, a very strange name, but after everyone heard it, they all remembered it, a young man who was a little wooden but his eyes were bright when he talked about the role.
"In fact, about idols and powerful factions, everyone will involuntarily sound the two most well-known people in the Chinese entertainment circle, namely Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua, when it comes to these two people, everyone can't help but distinguish the two, Liang Chaowei is an acting school, and Liu Dehua is an idol school, why is this? When we were children, when Hong Kong films were popular and swept through East and Southeast Asia, both of them played handsome and brushed treasures in those classic Hong Kong films, and won everyone's unanimous love, everyone said that they were big stars, idols, artists, and celebrities. So, since when have the two people been so clearly distinguished, in terms of appearance, Liang Chaowei will definitely not lose to Liu Dehua, and in terms of debut time, Liu Dehua will not lose to Liang Chaowei......"
"I think the biggest difference is that Liang Chaowei and Wang Jiawei have come together, and Liu Dehua is moving forward on his own path. As a result, Liang Chaowei won a trophy with an actor and became popular all over the world; And Liu Dehua is also very hard-working, and he suffers in many plays, but in order to make his title of king more fulfilling, Liu Dehua started singing again, and one year he won one of the top ten singers of the year in Xiangjiang, although it was the end. Some people say that it was Wang Jiawei who made Liang Chaowei, but Liu Dehua did not have this luck! ”
"Actually, in terms of acting skills, Liu Dehua is not inferior to Liang Chaowei. In the movies of recent years, Liu Dehua's image of the old farmer in "Lost Orphans" and his wonderful performance in "Rescue Mr. Wu" have made people truly realize Liu Tianwang's strength. It is precisely because of Liu Dehua's performance in the past two years that everyone slowly praised his acting skills, but after all, it was a little late. I have a view here, that is, actors should be ruthless to themselves, from the beginning of fame, sometimes you must not be limited to one type of role, the risk is greater, try all kinds of types, don't let the audience's impression of you be fixed, affixed a single label, then it will be difficult to really go out and break through! “
"Well, in fact, I've already started to touch on the second question, and I've said a lot, so please forgive me!"
It was only at this time that Nian Shan realized that he had mixed the first question with the second question, and he was a little embarrassed and ran down to the applause of everyone.
"In fact, the first three questions can be regarded as one problem, that is, the relationship between actors and characters, let's just talk about it according to this, which is more helpful for everyone to have a clearer understanding of the characters, who will come again?"
Tang Nian clapped his hands, gathered the question, and said encouragingly.
"I'm coming!"
After the warm-up of the two people, everyone's enthusiasm to speak was stronger, and when Tang Nian's voice just fell, one of the young people took the stage.
This young man, Tang Nian has a little face, as if he has just been here for less than half a month, but Tang Nian has a very good impression of him, a very spiritual actor, he often reacts to Tang Nian's difficult explanations of some roles more than others, as if his name is Zhang Qingzhi, but this young man is not good at expressing himself, and many times his face is red because he can't understand what he says, but after getting acquainted with everyone, he always has some eye-catching opinions about acting skills.
"In fact, when Ah Hua and Nian Shan mentioned some of the opinions just now, I thought a lot, I thought of Zhou Xingchi, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiao, Zhong Hanliang, Tan Songyun, Sun Honglei......"
"In my opinion, actors are divided into types, some natural comedy actors, such as Zhou Xingchi, are born to be comedians, and other dramas, in fact, everyone has no impression, after "Yangtze River No. 7", he became a star and a director; Some are good-looking actors, such as Zhong Hanliang, no matter what role he plays, everyone knows that this is Zhong Hanliang, as for the plot or anything, it doesn't matter; For another example, Tan Songyun, born with a baby face and a somewhat petite figure, in the last year or two, she wants to break through, and has played many roles that are very inconsistent with her own temperament, such as "Legend of the Seven Realms", a large-scale fantasy drama with a popular IP change, in which she plays a newly added little fox fairy role, the makeup photos are very amazing, but as long as she laughs, she will be broken, and everyone will play, remembering her "Whirlwind Boy", remembering her "The Best of Us", there is no way, This is a limitation of the actor's appearance, and it is really difficult to come up with more roles that the audience remembers! “
"Take Wang Luodan, who everyone is very familiar with, the modern drama is very outstanding, but when it comes to the costume "Mrs. Wei", it is played in minutes......"
"To sum up, I think that the relationship between actors and characters actually lies in the type of actors themselves. Some people, the genre is single, and they can't play other types of roles, and if they are forced to act, the ratings will plummet and the box office will hit the street. But some actors are born with many types and can be competent for various roles, such as Huang Bo, since he can play absurd black humor comedies such as "Crazy Stone", he can also play the powerful demon monkey who has been trapped for 500 years in "Journey to the West"; Another example is Sun Honglei, no matter how unified the audience's established perception of some characters is, he can perform his own taste, and the audience agrees with it. If you are in the first category, you are lucky and unlucky; If you are in the second category, then you are blessed by God......"
"Whoa......
In the warm applause, some people came to the stage one after another to tell their feelings, and the audience's eyes were bright, obviously gaining a lot.
In the end, Tang Nian saw the first three questions, and everyone said about it, so he walked up to the stage and said: "Actually, Zhang Qingzhi's words just now, I have a deep understanding, the effective career of an actor is actually not very long, and it is a very difficult thing to get rid of the shackles of his own appearance." If the appearance covers the acting skills, the status of the rivers and lakes will be much worse; Acting skills crush appearance, and the attributes of actors far exceed those of idols. Take Wang Baoqiao as an example, everyone has always thought that he acted in his true colors, but in "One Man's Martial Arts", Wang Baoqiao gave the most amazing performance, allowing people to see Wang Baoqiao's efforts and dedication over the years. For us, whether we can break through our own shackles depends on whether we have the determination and perseverance! ”
Next, let's talk about it, what is the reason why everyone embarked on the road of actors? Don't have taboos, even if it's the idea of becoming famous, it's all commendable, and the most feared thing is to just fantasize and not act! Who comes first? ”
Tang Nian looked around at everyone and continued to encourage.
"I'll come first!"
Ah Hua was the first to actively cheer, standing directly near the seat and said, "I want to be the second baby!" ”
"Coax!" Everyone laughed when they heard Ah Hua's words, but no one laughed at him, but many people gave Ah Hua a thumbs up.
"I thought acting was fun, so I came!"
"I don't think it's difficult to act, and it's good to be on TV......"
"I ...... Mainly when I was a child, when I was about five years old, my mother died of a sudden illness, and I was frightened at that time, watching my mother being buried in the ground, and my alcoholic father did not comfort me...... Then, I came up with the idea of acting, I want to experience a different life in the camera, so that my short life can have more color and expansion, I love acting to death! ”
"I also want to leave more of myself in the camera because I am afraid of death, so that after my death, as long as the entertainment of TV and movies has not been eliminated, I think my figure will always be turned out...... The eternal existence of that state is also quite good! ”
"I mainly want to make some money, and I heard that being an actor makes money quickly......"
"As for me, it's because I have a small hair, when we took the exam together, he was admitted to Chinese opera, and now he is acting in a crew, with more than 100,000 yuan per minute...... I can't get angry......"
"I ......"
Soon, nearly 100 young performance lovers told their initial motivation to come to be extras, and there were some happy places, everyone laughed, and in the end, everyone's eyes looked at Tang Nian.
"Well, one of them is afraid of death, and the other is that I am quite interested in acting!"
Seeing that everyone was very curious, Tang Nian did not shirk and explained the reason why he came to Hengdu Film and Television City, of course, this was all after he left the construction site.
"Brother Tang, can you tell us about yourself? We're really curious, you're such a good actor, it's really not worth it to nest here with us, really! ”
"Yes, yes, we are all acting, and the one I admire the most is not the person with good acting skills!"
"Let's talk about it!"
Seeing everyone shouting, Tang Nian's nose was slightly sour, and he was silent for a while and said: "Actually, I starred in "Meng Jiangnu" by mistake, yes, it's the one you know, don't be surprised, I'm also surprised now!" ”
"But now, that movie is still in post-production, and there is no public news leaking out, I don't know how Director Zhang arranged it, but I think that as long as the movie is released, you should be able to recognize it as me...... Hehe, in fact, it is also a fate for everyone to gather here, because we have the same dream, or in the years to come, some people will fall behind, some people will quit, but we should not be sad, take over the dreams of the brothers, and continue to move forward, there are always some people who can represent us grassroots actors, break through the shackles of this showbiz, and leave a world that belongs to us in the huge performing arts industry, so that the latecomers can go forward and succeed, so that those who have the dream of being an actor will be forever young, look up, and there can be a lighthouse, There is a goal, to reach, to surpass! ”
"Whoa......
Violent applause rang out, like a storm, many people were infected by Tang Nian's words, and slapped their hands hard, and the applause lasted for a long time.
"Ahem, I almost forgot the main topic tonight, let's talk about the camera!"
Infected by this applause, Tang Nian was a little embarrassed.
"Coax!" The crowd laughed again.
"Speaking of the sense of lens, everyone says that the sense of the lens is very important, but what is the specific sense of the lens, it is estimated that everyone is very confused, because a shot, there are at least two cameras, how do you grasp the sense of the lens, so that your performance can be accurately transmitted to the picture in front of the director, how to grab the most important proportion of the shot in the effective shot, so that your play becomes the main driving force of the plot, and will not be cut out because of the director's personal likes and dislikes......"
"The sense of the camera, to put it bluntly, is actually the actor who makes himself the focus of the camera on the shooting scene when he is not out of the state of the role, no matter what shots and pictures the director wants, even if you only shoot the opponent, you will not be in focus!"
"If you want to have a great sense of the camera, in terms of acting skills, you must make the characters you play very accurate and in place, and show different states according to the changes in the plot......"
In some dimly lit underground parking lots, Tang Nian talked eloquently, and everyone listened carefully.
No one would have thought that in this underground parking lot, in the next 30 years, a large number of outstanding actors will come out of this underground parking lot, and they will stir up the storm and create a golden age of actors after all......
