Chapter 596: The Strongest Actor
"yes, I think it's a very well written script. Zhou Yan laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "But let you act, it's a little too reluctant, not too right." ”
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he had watched the original version of "The Undertaker", although the starring Japanese actor was not bad, but he thought that he would definitely act better, what reason did Zhou Yunfa have to say that he was not on the right path? I couldn't help but be aroused to be competitive:
"Brother Fa, I don't think I'm okay with it this time, if you think I'm inadequate, you can just say it."
Cai Lan also smiled beside him: "Yes, don't sell it, I am in a hurry." ”
"It's not your reason, it's not mine." Zhou Yanfa squinted at the corner of his eyes and smiled:
"It's not quite a good idea to just put us together, I don't know if you have found it, this "Undertaker" is different from ordinary dramas."
Gu Xiaofan nodded, there are rules in the film industry, movies are emotional arts, and if you want people to bring emotions into them, you must respect the emotions that are easiest for people to understand.
Now more than 90% of movies, the first rule is that there must be a male protagonist and a female protagonist, the scene must revolve around them, and then set up a villain, from both to the end, the hero and heroine are all to defeat the villain.
Then the first act explains the background of the characters, the second act takes place, and the third act defeats the enemy, and so on
In fact, film art did not have such a solidified character structure at the beginning, but after so many years of development, after the evolution and experimentation of countless film masters, all filmmakers have found that the audience is most likely to accept such a structure.
This kind of three-character, three-act structure of the movie, which is like the popular formation of 442 and 433 in football, is considered to be the most recognized and effective football formation in the world.
And "The Undertaker" is a movie that does not follow this rule at all, without any villains in it, not even a heroine in the traditional sense.
That's pretty scary for any filmmaker......
It's like when you play soccer and you suddenly use a 226 formation, and you surprise your opponent, but you almost lose.
For the audience, "The Undertaker" is a difficult movie to accept.
Of course, it is not without a best-selling film in the world that can break through the inherent structure of the three major characters and the structure of three acts.
But this kind of innovation can only be done by a master.
The most famous person is a Chinese director, his name is John Woo, his film abandons the heroine of the three major characters, and turns the male and female protagonists into male protagonists, mainly about the love between men, similar to movies like "The True Color of Heroes",
And this type of movie is called woo movie in Hollywood, and it is listed as a separate movie genre, so you can imagine how great John Woo is.
Another kind of breakthrough is easier to see, that is, a love movie that abandons the villain, only the hero and heroine, and then gets love.
But the villains of this kind of love movies actually still exist, but the villains have become the general environment, or fate, or the life experiences of men and women.
In "The Undertaker", there is no heroine or villain at all, but he overcomes his own heart and becomes the pure transformation of the protagonist's life.
This kind of transformation movie that completely excavates the villain and the heroine is generally an exploration of the true truth of life, and once successful, it will become a peerless classic, otherwise it will become a bad movie, this kind of adventure will make any actor's heart beat faster and more eager.
But any actor wants to challenge this kind of transformation movie with a pure protagonist. , both have to face two major problems.
The first is the subject matter, which requires a painful adversity, showing the brilliance of human nature, and at the same time sublimating the subject matter, so that the premise of a painful life exudes unparalleled brilliance.
The script can't be clichéd.
Secondly, there are extremely high requirements for the ability of the actor himself, because the height reached by the transformation of the character itself is actually the height of the actor's own performance limit, which is not only the category of acting, but the thickness and breadth of the actor's understanding of life.
Therefore, those who can control this kind of theme are usually veteran actors whose acting skills have reached the peak.
Like Al Pacino in "Smell a Woman", Dustin Hoffman in "The Rain Man".
And this kind of movie, usually the same as "The Undertaker", is an old and a small double protagonist configuration, the small actor is responsible for substituting the audience, and the old one is responsible for the poetic performance.
But in "The Undertaker", which is different from "Rain Man" and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman", the main role of this movie is on the young protagonist Xiaolin, that is, this transformation performance is in charge of Gu Xiaofan, Gu Xiaofan not only has to play the role of substitution, but also has to perform at the same level as Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman.
And Zhou Runfa's Lao Zhou is a leader, and he determined the height of the ceiling of this movie.
This means that when Gu Xiaofan determines that Zhou Runfa is the actor of Lao Zhou, he must show the same level as Zhou Runfa in order to be considered a perfect performance.
This is also why Gu Xiaofan of this movie must be sent by Zhou Yan to star, because he believes that this god of acting can guide him to a higher height.
Zhou Yanfa said: "The two of us don't agree" obviously means that he feels that Gu Xiaofan can't reach his height.
Gu Xiaofan felt that Zhou Yanfa was underestimating him a little, since the performance of Yang Zirong and Jiang Wen-for-tat, Gu Xiaofan already felt that he could play any character, and couldn't help but be curious:
"Brother Fa, do you think there's something wrong with where I'm acting?"
Zhou Yanfa smiled, and the two of them happened to be standing in front of the hanger that sold clothes in the department store.
I saw Zhou Yanfa easily pick out some clothes and accessories, and said with a smile: "Director Gu, you are actually very powerful, when I was your age, I was still playing some roles that relied on appearance, although they were also quite popular." ”
As he spoke, he saw Zhou Yan wearing a top hat, and his whole figure was instantly raised, heroic and extraordinary, with a confident and chic temperament, and full of elegance.
Gu Xiaofan's heart suddenly froze, and he only felt that the ordinary Zhou Yanfa in front of him suddenly became another person, as if he suddenly seemed to see the dashing and amorous Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Tang".
Hurry up and open the assessment system.
"Emotional Control 75, Focus 79, Appearance 91, Lines 75, Body 81, Idiosyncrasies, Innocence."
Scare...... Zhou Yanfa's acting skills have skyrocketed? What's going on?
"Then a few years later, when I was 31 years old, I received a role that made me famous in the film industry, but this role was too extreme, so I stopped touching the subject after the age of 35."
Zhou Yunfa took out another hanger and used it as a gun to point at Gu Xiaofan, and the whole person felt a change again, suddenly becoming ruthless and heroic, just like the little brother in "The True Color of Heroes".
He was obviously holding a hanger in his hand, but Gu Xiaofan felt infinite pressure and unconsciously took a step back.
"Emotional Control 82, Focus 83, Appearance 91, Lines 82, Limbs 87, Traits, Innocence, Heroes." Raised again!
Sure enough, this week, Runfa can control his acting expressiveness at will...... Gu Xiaofan's jaw was about to fall to the ground, which was even better than Liang Jiahui's chameleon skills.
"When I was 34 years old, I made several top movies of different genres after my acting skills became great, and when I encountered the popularity of Hong Kong hero films, I got the most perfect role in my life and became famous."
And I saw Zhou Yunfa take out a box of chocolates from the food shelf, and then put on a suit, his eyes were very charming, and he suddenly showed a dignified and kingly demeanor.
Gu Xiaofan's eyes widened suddenly, what he saw in front of him was not the pinnacle of the Hong Kong gambling film genre "God of Gamblers", the God of Gamblers is high!
"Emotional Control 89, Focus 95, Appearance 96, Lines 95, Body 89, Trait, Innocence, Heroic, Domineering, People-friendly, Joyful,"
At this moment, Zhou Runming was dressed up a little funny, but where could Gu Xiaofan find the little person who was giggling before, he was completely shocked by the god of acting's free and magical performing art.
I couldn't help but gasp in my heart, this is the value of the peak of the five measurements among Chinese actors given in the system, and the strongest acting skills......
And when Gu Xiaofan only felt a huge shock in his heart, Zhou Yunfa continued:
"And for the next 10 years, I have been stagnant, repeating my previous self, and I can no longer surpass, until I was 45 years old, a costume theme that I am not good at in the performance, and once again reached the realm of the previous place, only to know that the performance is not blindly publicized, but to return to the truth, any character in the world, in fact, a hand, a foot, any words, have a different brilliance."
When Gu Xiaofan heard what he said, he guessed that it should be Li Mubai of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
I saw that Zhou Yanfa gently took off all those clothes on his body, and returned to the jeans, T-shirt, and slippers just now.
It's still the same dress, it's still the smiling, cynical look, but it gives people a completely different feeling, relaxed...... Extremely relaxed, not arrogant, not overbearing, not indifferent, self-contained, leisurely.
Gu Xiaofan was dumbfounded...... This...... It's not Li Mubai...... And it's Zhou Yunfa himself, but it's not the "me" just now
At this time, an electronic voice sounded in my head: "The actor exceeds the numerical score, and the system cannot evaluate it." ”
Immortal level, the actor himself is the level of "immortal......
