And Gu Xiaofan recorded "I Am a Singer", not only did he sign Deng Ziqi with popularity and make a sum of money, but he also experienced something unprecedented. [Full text reading]

In the recording of the last issue of "I Am a Singer", in fact, in terms of arrangement, Chen Zhiyuan's arranging skills are profound, and the melody and rhythm are very good, which is definitely not inferior to the new songs he created.

However, his "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" and "If You Are Brave You Come" stand in another dimension, using more innovative ways to construct a new genre by bursting with joyful inspiration, beyond the old framework.

This also made Gu Xiaofan wonder in his heart, and in terms of performance, has he been imprisoned in the way provided by Sirui?

He has always wanted to imitate, and even reached the realm of Zhou Yanfa's "forgetting things and me", but he will definitely not be able to achieve it in the short term.

Why don't you try it another way?

Gu Xiaofan has been thinking about it for the past few days, if this extremely serious subject matter is combined with more comedy effects, will it give people better?

In fact, Kobayashi in the original Japanese version is very humorous, but the Japanese are used to expressing it, but it is too contrived and exaggerated, and there is a little less naturalness.

Gu Xiaofan felt that he could have a better way to deal with it and organize his ideas, so he beckoned and shouted, "Everyone come over and have a small meeting." ”

It wasn't until everyone was summoned that Gu Xiaofan groaned for a while and said, "Let's go through some of the shots we took before, let's go through them again, I want to try it in another way, how do you think of it, Brother Fa?" I think it should be a little more comedic. ”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, although everyone has long been accustomed to the way this changeable director changes his shooting methods at any time, but they have never heard of him completely denying himself like this.

How many scenes before the reshoot?

Everyone looked at Zhou Yanfa, although they were not happy in their hearts, but this matter, as long as he agreed to this matter, others would not have the right opinion.

But Zhou Yunfa still smiled and nodded: "Director Gu, you can shoot as much as you want, I can do it." ”

Seeing Zhou Runfa agree, Gu Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and began to re-turn out the storyboard script and explain it to the photographer and lighting engineer.

What is surprising is that the few scenes that Gu Xiaofan wants to reshoot are all some unimportant scenes with Zhou Yanfa, and it seems that everyone has no impression before.

However, Gu Xiaofan said that he wanted to add some comedy atmosphere, which is indeed a little worrying.

The atmosphere of "The Undertaker" has always been warm and serious, and the excessive comedy will not break this balance.

Gao Yuanyuan was also watching from the side, and he didn't know what the hell was going on.

The first reshot scene is the scene of Xiao Lin Chu's meeting with the mortuary Lao Zhou, mainly a close-up of Gu Xiaofan, when he learned that the company he was applying for was an undertaker, Gu Xiaofan's expression was surprised.

But when it was reshot, Gu Xiaofan showed a slightly exaggerated funny expression, and this time the character's temperament changed, but it did not break the atmosphere of the entire film.

Zhou Yanfa, who performed the rival play, was also slightly surprised in his heart, don't look at Gu Xiaofan and said that he wanted to add a little bit of comedy atmosphere, but in the main play, the "comedy effect" is such a thing, a little less will seem very redundant, and more will be too funny, and the degree in the middle is very difficult to grasp.

Even the "King of Comedy" Stephen Chow has been studying hard for many years, but he can't integrate his performance into the main drama, which can imagine the difficulty.

However, Gu Xiaofan's handling this time can be said to be just right, and it is completely half of Zhou Gangsi's accurate performance, which is really surprising.

Deputy Director Xu behind the camera lens, Gao Yuanyuan, actually didn't understand Gu Xiaofan's intention to add "comedy" elements at first, but at this glance, he found a subtle difference.

Zhou Runfa is still the same Zhou Runfa...... But the performance tension is much greater, and the whole character is more vivid, and Xiaolin is even more so.

Originally, Zhou Yanfa's overwhelming performance completely covered Gu Xiaofan, the protagonist, but now Gu Xiaofan's Xiaolin performance is as eye-catching as Zhou Yanfa.

What is the reason for this?

Everyone didn't know what was going on, they just quietly watched Gu Xiaofan's performance, and slowly figured out what was going on while watching him reshoot those scenes one after another.

Deputy Director Xu and Gao Yuanyuan both shouted softly in their hearts: "I see, it's a contrast......"

Before, Gu Xiaofan had been chasing and imitating Zhou Yanfa, blindly pursuing to reach the level of this god of acting, which made the character of Xiaolin very rigid.

And now Gu Xiaofan has completely jumped out of this psychology, and after adding comedy, a subtle contrast has been formed.

When Xiao Lin learned that he was looking for a job as an undertaker, his funny and frivolous reaction was compared to Lao Zhou's slow and slow progress when he came back, and his tone was also very calm and life-like when he spoke.

This reflects that Xiao Lin, a young man who jumps, is not suitable for a serious job, and it also shows Lao Zhou's calmness.

The two characters, one slow and one boastful, have rich comedy elements in themselves, and through the contrast of the two characters, it also reveals the deep meaning that people of two ages have different work attitudes.

And not only that, in Gu Xiaofan's reshoot, the most exciting part is a scene after the funeral ceremony.

This is a continuous long shot without a storyboard, Xiao Lin and Lao Zhou finished their work, returned to Chen, and brought the local food sent by the bereaved family.

The food was extremely hard, but Lao Zhou calmly put it in his mouth, opened it vigorously, and chewed it slowly, with a slow rhythm and an orderly manner.

And Gu Xiaofan, playing Xiaolin, originally shook his head very resolutely, but seeing that Lao Zhou ate so deliciously, when Lao Zhou handed him a copy, he also began to try.

And Gu Xiaofan's eating method at the beginning was still a bit exaggerated and funny, with a lot of subtle expressions, but in the end, when he really put the food in his mouth and chewed it.

Everyone was surprised that Gu Xiaofan's chewing rhythm had slowly become the same as Lao Zhou's.

And this subtle change also represents that the two people's attitudes towards work have gradually become consistent.

And before this scene, it happened to describe that Xiao Lin really saw the greatness of this profession as an undertaker, and also saw Lao Zhou's concentration and solemnity, so he reflected on his attitude towards this profession and became determined to become an undertaker.

After the day's reshoot was completed, Gu Xiaofan re-edited these shots into the previous shots.

Everyone sat in front of the camera and re-watched Xiao Lin and Lao Zhou's burial scene at the end of the movie, although Gu Xiaofan's burial action was still far from the charm of Zhou Zhou's leap hair, but from a single point of view, it was no longer lost to him
