Chapter 218 and Four Stages (II)

Li Hanxiang didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Mo Fei sitting next to him, at this time only he and the photographer knew that Mo Fei had asked them to turn off the machine just now, and the previous ones were actually empty to the lens.

Mo Fei stood up and shook the pants stuck to his legs, and said: "Old Lu, let's really fight, I believe that if these three boards go down, you should be able to get started, if not, practice again." It doesn't matter if the progress is slower, but you must shoot the best effect in every shot, the last thing people can get used to is pain, so everyone is different when they perform pain, but they can't grasp the essence of that pain, only when it really hurts when you enter the play, can you get the best effect, so you still have to be able to do it, otherwise Rong Shao's ass won't know when to taste your old board. ”

At first, I may have some opinions about Mo Fei saying this, thinking that he was too strict, including the actors and crew from Hong Kong, who also felt that Mo Fei was a little too much. But as soon as I heard Mo Fei's explanation, and Zhang Guorong had to take a solid seat in the back, that kind of complaint and suspicion also turned into recognition, at least everyone was treated equally, didn't they.

Zhang Fengyi didn't have any psychological pressure on the real fight, and Lu Qi went through Mo Fei's persuasion again, and this time he was really going to be ruthless. The old man gritted his teeth and worked hard, and the board fell, and when it went down, it was loud enough, and it was heavy enough, and Li Hanxiang also ordered to open the machine, but the board fell in the wrong place, and only brought Zhang Fengyi a little.

The old man also realized that he had made a mistake, and looked back at Li Hanxiang and Mo Fei. With some regret and apology, he said: "Director, I didn't do it well, or I'll do it again." This time it should be fine. ”

Only Zhang Fengyi, who was lying on the stool, complained in his heart, and said in his heart What kind of rush did I make, this is a few boards, and my ass will be broken if I beat it again, but I can't really complain, so I had to say to Lu Qi: "I said Teacher Lu, you can beat it twice." So many things don't add up much worse than that. ”

Mo Fei walked over to take a look at the situation, Zhang Fengyi's buttocks were already red, and if he continued to fight, he would be really injured. Old man Lu Qi's acting skills are not said. But if you are a thug, you are really not very qualified, so you have to think about it and do it yourself.

In his previous life, he was also very familiar with some people in the entertainment industry, and once read the notes of a grandmaster-level performing artist by chance. It contains a lot of skills, techniques, and so on in film and television production and acting. For example, how can an actor dig deep into the heart of a character. How to express in various lights, what kind of camera position is most effective, and even some skills in ancient performing arts, can be described as the essence of his life's learning.

One of the notes is about how to "beat" people, which is some performance experience summarized by the old man through research and synthesis of the skills and secrets of criminal law such as beating boards in various dynasties and dynasties recorded in the wild history. Could it be that in his previous life, he also practiced a lot of things in it, and when he wrote a movie review, he also compared and referred to what he had practiced. At this time, it is used again.

"Old Lu, you take a break. I'll do the rest. Mo Fei walked between Lu Qi and Zhang Fengyi, took the board in Lu Qi's hand, turned it a few times to see the weight, and then said to the main photographer Bao Dexi: "Wait a minute, just look for the actor's expression from far and near, and the other lens will shoot the board and look like it after falling, it shouldn't affect the whole." ”

If you play the board yourself, everyone wants to see if he can really play well, is it better than a professional actor. Especially some mainland crew members, I have long heard of how god Mo Fei is in Hong Kong, and I have just seen his control of the script and characters, but he is a screenwriter himself, which is easy for him; Now playing the board is the time to prove the ability in other aspects, at this time many people have forgotten, but it also once made all the audience laugh until they were about to break out in "Party A and Party B".

After everyone was ready, Li Hanxiang ordered the camera to be opened, Mo Fei stood in front of the camera, roughly visually measured the position of Zhang Fengyi's buttocks, slowly raised the board in his hand, and then fell from slow to fast, and landed on the target with a "snap", crisp and loud.

Zhang Fengyi doesn't have to show how much pain he has at all, his somewhat distorted face doesn't need acting skills at all, the pain at this time is definitely the most natural, he has to grit his teeth and endure it, exactly the same as the performance of the characters in the play.

Mo Fei's hand holding the board was raised again, this time after a slight pause before it fell, leaving a small space for the photographer to take pictures of Zhang Fengyi's scars, and the delay of this time can also show the entanglement that the master beat the apprentice but felt pain in his heart. Then another board fell, and it was a little lighter than just now, after all, Master's heart was also made of meat, and the sound of hitting it was a little quieter than just now.

Just two clicks are enough, and other shots don't need to be so directly expressed, Zhang Fengyi got out of the sea of suffering, and the next one was replaced by Zhang Guorong, or Mo Fei was personally punished.

This time it will be much faster than beating Zhang Fengyi, the same two boards fall, Zhang Guorong's pain is not lighter than Zhang Fengyi's, although Zhang Guorong's toughness is stronger than that of ordinary people, after the fight, he did not grin like Zhang Fengyi, but he also limped when he walked.

At this time, everyone saw that this usually kind and polite producer turned out to be such a ruthless character, isn't it just a shot, don't you want to be so desperate. Zhang Fengyi is a mainland actor who is not familiar with and has no deep relationship, Zhang Guorong was brought by Hong Kong, and he can also do it, he really can't do it without being ruthless, it's better not to mess with such a person in the future.

Mo Fei stood behind and looked at Zhang Guorong's swaying back, and couldn't help but think of him that afternoon, what made him make that leap action, and drew a stunning but also thrilling exclamation mark falling in the wind to that glorious era that belonged to him, ending his own generation of legends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

If it's just depression, at least you won't believe it. With Zhang Guorong's strong heart and positive and optimistic attitude, he was able to accompany a stranger to chat on the street all night. In order to use his own words and personal feelings to save the other party's idea of survival, how could he choose to do that because of the same problem.

No matter what the reason is, Mo Fei thinks that he needs to do something, he left a legend and left, but the entertainment industry is missing a person who can really be called the emperor's superstar, which is definitely a big loss. Since he can save Weng Meiling, he believes that he will definitely be able to save Zhang Guorong. And it has to be the same as Weng Meiling, to solve him fundamentally.

Could it be that the technique of playing the board is not covered, and it was so hard in the morning. In the afternoon, Zhang Guorong was already fine, but Zhang Fengyi was a little crooked because he was beaten crooked by Lu Qi, which made the old man a little embarrassed to see him.

At dinner, Zhang Fengyi also asked Mo Fei: "Mr. Mo, it really hurts to hit you twice." But after the pain, there was nothing left. In the afternoon, I don't feel like anything at all, is there a trick here? ”

Zhang Fengyi is quite optimistic, and is ready to dig up the actors of Phoenix Culture, Mo Fei's attitude towards him is also more polite, and said: "This is actually nothing, just some small skills found from ancient wild history, just like the Dongchang eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty played boards, it is said that they can play whatever they want." The eunuch who executes the sentence has to train for a long time, and he must turn his head through a piece of paper. There is no problem with the paper with a stick, but the brick can already be cracked, which is considered to be eligible for execution. I was fortunate enough to read a summary written by a master before, which recorded this kind of thing, and then I learned two tricks because it was fun, but I didn't expect to use it today. ”

"The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article, which is really good." Zhang Fengyi really didn't expect that Mo Fei's unique skill of playing the board with one hand would actually come like this, and he deeply admired: "Even the ancient punishment methods can be used, and Mr. Mo can be regarded as playing these things at home." I have heard that Mr. Mok is the number one master in the Hong Kong film industry before, and now it is even more admirable, if there is no mind to study and study, how can there be such a high achievement. ”

Could it be that he had just thought about how to rescue Zhang Guorong in the morning, and now there are related things running in his mind, and when he heard Zhang Fengyi's words, he immediately thought of an idea, and his heart said that it would be better to start from now.

smiled modestly and said, "I'm far from being as good as you say, but it's just because I like to be foolish, so I know something that others don't understand." But what you said is right, no matter what, as long as you do it to the extreme, it will become quite simple, and it can be done at your fingertips, and even your gestures will have their own style.

Let's take our movies as an example, as long as we can drill into it and carefully figure out and interpret the feelings of the characters, strive to integrate into the script, and improve and perfect our acting skills through the exercise of each role. When you finally do your acting kung fu at home, it is what you are like, on the contrary, the drama road becomes narrower, and you can only play a fixed image role. ”

In fact, this is a general generalization, and it does not say anything substantial, but it is impossible to let Zhang Guorong understand what is through this, and the detailed content must appear later.

He took out a cigarette and handed one to all the smokers here, lit it and took a puff himself, and said: "There is an aesthetic thinker in modern China, Mr. Wang Guowei, who is also the first person to evolve oracle bone science from philology to historiography, and his research on aesthetics and literature is quite profound. He believes that there are three realms in life, no matter who wants to achieve great things, they must pass through these three realms, the first is called 'see the mountain is the mountain, see the water is the water last night the west wind withered the green trees, alone on the tall building, look at the end of the world', this is the most superficial art, everyone can see the appearance, feel good is good; the second is called 'see the mountain is not the mountain, see the water is not the water of the belt gradually widen and do not regret it, For Yi to make people haggard', this is the art that makes people want to stop, in order to explore the mysteries, so that the tea and rice do not think about pondering; the third is called 'look at the mountain or the mountain, see the water or the water in the crowd looking for him thousands of degrees, suddenly looking back, the person is there, the lights are in the dark', this weight is the art of knowing the chest, and it can be regarded as reaching the realm of Dacheng.

Personally, I agree with this view. Acting is an art, and it can also be summed up in terms of these three realms, and how to do it step by step if you want to achieve these three realms. The industry of "Farewell My Concubine" makes it very clear that there is an old saying in the Peking Opera industry, called "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive", that is, you are willing to fall into it for one thing, you are fascinated, and your body and mind are devoted to the level of selflessness. This is like a drag between men and women, only when you are invested in it can you enjoy the sweetness of love; And I see that Rong Shao is now in drag with "Farewell My Concubine". He is in a state that is deeply immersed in it, and this state is likely to bring him up to the fourth standard of aesthetics. ”

Zhang Guorong listened more attentively when he heard Mo Fei talk about himself. People in the Hong Kong film industry don't know Mo Fei's means, it is not so easy to win the Berlin Golden Bear after winning two awards, maybe this will be of great benefit to himself.

He knew that what Mo Fei said was right, and he was now fully engaged in the performance of "Farewell My Concubine". It's even a bit of the "crazy" feeling that Mo Fei said. It's just what the fourth standard deity outside of this threefold realm organization means. But I didn't understand it at all, but Mo Fei's words were obviously not finished, and I couldn't interrupt to ask now, so I could only wait patiently for the following.

Honggu sat next to Mo Fei, she spoke in front of Mo Fei and was the least scrupulous, so she asked directly if she didn't understand, and said, "Didn't you say the triple realm just now, how can you run out of four standards now." You're not making up stories for us, are you? ”

"What kind of story I make up, it's all well documented. If you buy a copy of Wang Guowei's "Words in the World" and take a look, you will know whether it is true or false. Mo Fei was very dissatisfied with Honggu's suspicion that he made up a story, so he quietly reached out and patted her buttocks, and continued: "Because this triple realm was experienced by him when he was twenty-nine years old, he had not yet reached the highest level at that time, so the study of aesthetics had not yet reached an extreme, and he did not have any research works on aesthetics after that, so now we know that this is his triple realm theory, and the four standards I said are another theory. It's more intuitive than that.

I remember reading a book that said that there are four criteria for aesthetics, and the audience of these four criteria exists in a pyramid shape. The first is the beauty of the world, red and green or absurd and petty, which is called gaudy, and the people like it the most; The second is the beauty of thinking, most of the Tang poems and Song poems or ink and wash Danqing are called subtle, which need to be experienced slowly, and the audience is relatively small.

The third is niche beauty, which is basically the modern art of Mondrian, Van Gogh and Picasso, and some ancient religious murals also belong to this category. The Queen of England said that she couldn't read which way the people in Picasso's paintings were facing, and Van Gogh also said that she couldn't read it; He specifically makes you understand, sometimes even the author himself doesn't understand, it's like what happens to some art films at the box office; This layer is more niche than the niche, and there will be many people who can't understand but also want to be elegant, this level is called hypocrisy in Chinese, so you can't understand it.

Enter the fourth level, which is the top of the pyramid, there are the least number of people here, and you can only reach it through the third layer, and you can't break through it, because you can't tell why you can't understand it. In this layer, there is a lot of beauty that is morbid, even perverted; Like ancient Chinese foot binding, strange-shaped goldfish, and odd-looking pugs, these are all morbid beauty. This level of beauty can be artificially created, but it can only be created by people who have been recognized by the public after entering the fourth level, and such people are called 'artists'; those who do not understand beauty, listen to what they say about beauty, and then study this created beauty, and finally this beauty is very beautiful. For example, like Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu looks like a girl, and Lin Daiyu herself is sick and looks like a patient, but Cao Xueqin said that they are beautiful, so they are beautiful.

We can think that the higher the level of aesthetics, the fewer the number of people, but at the top of the pathological layer, there will be another inverted pyramid, and after reaching the top, the aesthetics will form an explosive effect through this inverted pyramid, and their morbid aesthetics will radiate to the public, and even cause a kind of popularity. So in the world we live in, the most thematic aesthetics are morbid and gaudy, these two true and false aesthetics, and the subtle poetry and pretentious Picasso are rarely appreciated.

You look at Rong Shao, he shaved his eyebrows during the filming, his face was powdered, and even his gait and body shape were imitating Tsing Yi Hua Dan in the old society, but after he finished this film and really broke through the aesthetics in the film, these phenomena could not be found in him.

When this film is successfully released and recognized by industry insiders, film critics, audiences, etc., his performance will become a kind of beauty, so that it will be recognized by the public, and he is a master of acting. ”

At this time, not only Mo Fei was at this table, but even the people at other tables began to gather around to listen to Mo Fei talk about this theory of aesthetics, which is rarely heard today. And Mo Fei's evaluation of Zhang Guorong made everyone take Zhang Guorong's performance as the most important thing to learn in the crew in the future, and everyone remembered it at this time, Mo Fei won the Golden Bear Award.

Zhang Guorong thinks that he is a person who is quite dedicated to doing things, but there have not been too many people who have affirmed his advantages, and Mo Fei's words undoubtedly brought him great affirmation and recognition. And Mo Fei's admiration for him in and out of his words made Zhang Guorong a little surprised, with Mo Fei's status in the Hong Kong film industry, his affirmative words are much heavier than the weight of an Academy Award.

In particular, Mo Fei's definition of aesthetics has completely subverted many people's previous evaluations and definitions of beauty and aesthetics, even beyond this era. But in some ways, it is similar to Zhang Guorong's thoughts, which also makes Zhang Guorong feel even more that he must be a confidant in his life. (To be continued......)
