At 8 p.m., the crew of "The Undertaker" was filming nervously in a small shop on Lamma Island. 【Reading.com】

The crew was busy performing their duties, and no one thought that at this time, Gu Xiaofan's best friends, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen, would come together to visit Gu Xiaofan's new drama filming.

They came for two purposes, the first is because of course it is for Gu Xiaofan to help the field, after all, "1942" and "Let the Bullets Fly" were both invested by Gu Xiaofan.

The second purpose, and the main idea, is that Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen are both very interested, Gu Xiaofan said "to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film", is it verbal publicity, or is he really so confident?

To be honest, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen have not thought about the Oscar, they have thought about it as a director, but they have not found a suitable angle to cut into, after all, the gap between Chinese and Western cultures is too big, even if you shoot well, Americans may not understand it.

Gu Xiaofan thought of any good way this time?

When the two came, Gu Xiaofan was filming a scene of the burial of a deceased in the camera with Zhou Yanfa, and the person in charge of managing the scene was Deputy Director Xu of Shanghai Film Studio, and he hurriedly greeted these two mainland directors.

"But we're called, we'll see for ourselves." Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen motioned to Deputy Director Xu, and remained silent, both of them were directors, and they knew that the most taboo thing in filming was because someone stopped coming.

Deputy Director Xu reminded in a low voice: "Director Feng, Mr. Jiang, they have been filming this scene for a long time, and they filmed it for a day yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be very late today." ”

"Oh?" Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Wen, both of them were full of expression, it seems that this scene is not simple.

The reason why they are looking forward to this scene so much is simple, because from the time they came to the scene until now, no one has spoken any lines.

You must know that in terms of performance, the most unskilled way to perform is actually "lines".

Whatever you want to express, no matter what emotion, what inner activity, just say it.

So TV series are the easiest to act, because TV series rely on lines to describe the plot.

The lines in the TV series express emotions directly, the best and most classic example is Qiong Yao's romance drama, although many people are not used to Aunt Qiong Yao, but her line skills are top-notch.

Take a look at the 2007 hit "See a Dream Again", how did Aunt Qiong Yao let the heroine Ziling express her heart?

Ziling asked the actor: "Yunfan, I'm motion sickness!" ”

The actor replied: "How can you get motion sickness, it's just a carriage, is it heat stroke?" Do you have a fever? ”

At this time, Ziling said an invincible "Thirteen Halos" to express her feelings:

"I'm not the type of motion sickness! I was sitting in such a carriage, walking on such a boulevard, and I was dizzy with joy, intoxicated, and enjoyable, so I got motion sickness.

Actually, since I came to Provence, I have been dizzy all the way, I have entered the dream come true, I am dizzy, I have seen a new house with beaded curtains, I have dizzy, I have seen the castle, I have dizzy. I am still dizzy when I see the lavender flower field, and I am even more dizzy when I see the mountain town. ”

In this scene, such a clear and emotional line is spoken, the actress doesn't need to act at all, as long as she finishes reading, it is enough to make the audience feel the excitement in her heart.

It is precisely because Aunt Qiong Yao is good at such line plays that Qiong Yao plays are especially suitable for young actors and actresses who do not have too high acting skills.

But if the other way around, you don't let the heroine speak, the same paragraph, how can she express the "thirteen dizzy" emotions in her heart through expressions, bodies, and reactions?

If that's the case, I'm afraid any young actress will be so worried that she will bleed on the spot......

Therefore, although using lines does not mean that this performance is easy, the play without lines must be very, very difficult.

Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen hurriedly looked carefully, wanting to know what was exciting about this scene, but after watching it for a while, they were a little disappointed, because Gu Xiaofan and Zhou Yanfa were actually "buried" by an actor's "corpse".

The corpse was about 40 years old, 1.8 meters tall, Gu Xiaofan and Zhou Yanfa put him on a "Buddha robe" (white shroud), and then wiped the whole body of the "corpse" with a towel stained with alcohol.

The point is not here, the focus is on the process of wiping, so that the more than 10 "relatives" opposite them cannot see the skin of their deceased relatives except for their faces.

Zhou Yanfa did it again, Gu Xiaofan did it again, and every time they would sweat profusely because of the process of pulling and pulling.

Although the corpse is played by an actor, under the skillful makeup of the makeup artist, it looks like the skin is blue, and the whole person still exudes a "corpse smell", although you know that it is fake, but it is still extremely frightening.

Many staff members kept vomiting next to them, and even those actors who played relatives naturally showed a look of fear and disgust on their faces.

More people were afraid, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen could see that among the people at the scene, only Gu Xiaofan and Zhou Yanfa were not afraid.

Gu Xiaofan's movements are already very proficient, it looks as if he has done it thousands of times, and every time he enters the funeral, it is very smooth, without a trace of pause, and it can even be said to be elegant.

When he was "buried", everyone was less afraid, because his calm emotions could infect everyone on the scene.

Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen both nodded slightly, it could be seen that Gu Xiaofan had been practicing for this scene for I don't know how many days, this is this physical work, and it is definitely not a pretense to be so skilled.

However, to the surprise of the two, Gu Xiaofan's performance can make people faint but die, is this still not filmed?

As long as this is done, and then let the makeup artist re-transform the "corpse" actor into the usual ruddy complexion, then in the movie, it will be very effective.

What's so dissatisfied with Gu Xiaofan?

"Director Feng, if it were you, would you be able to pass this scene?" Jiang Wen asked Feng Xiaogang in a low voice.

"Well...... What about you, Mr. Jiang? Feng Xiaogang asked rhetorically, but Jiang Wen just smiled and said, "Then I'm afraid I have to be a little better than this, I can't shoot the same as you, right?" ”

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, this Jiang Wen is a little better than others in everything, and he must be the first in this one.

As soon as Jiang Wen finished speaking, it was Zhou Yan's turn to send him to "enter the funeral", only to see that his movements were exactly the same as Gu Xiaofan's just now, but the speed was very different, he was very "slow" and surprisingly "slow".

It's slow, but surprisingly beautiful......

Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen were both stunned. , suddenly felt such a cruel and disgusting scene, as if it was illuminated with a layer of brilliance in an instant, quiet and beautiful, and the whole shot seemed to be an artistic picture.

"Your hand will forget the pen, and then you can write ......" Jiang Wen was dumbfounded, and suddenly murmured out an ancient sentence.

This is a famous sentence of Su Dongpo's comment on calligraphy, that is, to emphasize good calligraphy, the key to the mentality is in a "forget" word, first of all, to do hand to hand forget, followed by hand to forget, so that not only forget the self, but also forget the unexpected things of the self, including calligraphy tools and calligraphy skills
