Chapter 25: The Opening Scene
During the previous period, Zhou Yi had been hypnotizing himself and using hypnotism to improve his acting skills.
Although this role doesn't require too good acting skills, it can't really be no acting skills at all, that's obviously not good.
Zhou Yi understands very well that even if he has no filming experience, the director can tolerate him, especially in the face of his boss, he can give more guidance and help him shoot a few more times, but that's it. He can't delay everyone's time, and if he continues to shoot indefinitely, all kinds of behind-the-scenes personnel will be tired. In that case, everyone will inevitably complain, but they will not say it explicitly. Even if you pay more overtime, people may not be happy.
And he is playing with an old man, so it's not good to work the other party too much.
If the whole crew is made haggard, he might as well stop acting!
So he really has to work hard.
Now there is only one way, that is, self-hypnosis, and really regard yourself as a little junior brother Yang De.
These are some of the techniques he learned from a master hypnotist during his military training, which were originally used to counter polygraphs and torture to extract confessions.
This kind of self-hypnosis, even if you believe in yourself, can others not believe it?
In terms of the genre of performance, this is probably experiential.
If you want to play expressive, Zhou Yi has not taken a formal acting class and has no acting experience, so he really has no ability to control it. He really can't portray the character so accurately without his own sense of color.
Now, with self-hypnosis, any kind of reaction he makes should be an instinctive reaction that Yang De himself should have made naturally. It's not that he controls the role and performs that kind of reaction.
He wants to forget that he is acting.
Now he is Yang De, a closed disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, with a simple heart, respecting the teacher, just starting out of the rivers and lakes, not deeply involved in the world, but to clean up the door on behalf of the teacher, not only needs good kung fu, but also needs scheming.
Zhou Yi completely substituted himself into it and made all preparations.
Tang Yan and the others all understood the reason, and knew that Zhou Yi was entering the state of performance, and they would definitely not interfere with him at this time.
Many actors have all kinds of quirks in order to find their status before the official filming, and everyone is not surprised.
If you bother him, maybe he'll be furious and lose his temper.
Scolding field workers and beating assistants are common things.
You can't help him, who can't let him get into the state? What can you do?
The entertainment industry is full of colors, and everyone has it.
In fact, if others want to interfere with Zhou Yi, they can't interfere. If it can be easily interfered with, this kind of hypnosis has no learning value.
Zhou Yi is indeed talented in this area, otherwise he would not have been able to learn hypnotism at all.
Perhaps this is also one of the gains of his transformation by high-dimensional energy.
In short, Zhou Yi can do it, and there is no reason at all.
This is like the bloodline talent or ancient inheritance in Xianxia novels, which can only be understood as Zhou Yi breaking some kind of genetic lock!
This gave him access to some of the primal instincts that were already present in the human bloodline.
The hypnotic master of the military command often conducts hypnosis and anti-hypnosis training with Zhou Yi, and has always praised Zhou Yi's outstanding talent, and even wants to accept him as a mantle disciple, and the application report is typed, which is very hopeful, but unfortunately Zhou Yi was arranged by Jiang Zhengfang into the entertainment industry, and it is estimated that he will not be able to become a hypnotic master and interrogation expert of the military commander in this life.
Of course, the military commanders do not lack such masters and experts, but lack an emperor superstar who launders money and makes a name for themselves.
Zhou Yi is just right for this kind of work.
At this time, with the director's order, the two actors began to enter the secret room in the studio.
The line director followed a few lines, but there were few lines in this scene, so there was no need to prepare for a review at all.
With Zhou Yi's super memory, there will be no problems.
In fact, the line director was just afraid that Zhou Yi lacked acting experience, and he would forget his lines when he was nervous, so he reminded a few words.
Even if you are a screenwriter, you will forget your lines when you are nervous! It's nothing.
If you change to other leading actors, you don't need the director to help prepare this line at all.
It's a pity that the line director doesn't know Zhou Yi's ability at all, but he is kind and will help.
At this time, the camera positions are all set.
The reflectors are also well placed.
With the help of everyone, the old actor took off his shirt, sat bare-chested, and sat in a very delicate prop large round tank.
The stove is lit and the fire is blazing. The big medicine pot on it has been prepared, and the prop group is very exquisite, and the big medicine pot has five poisonous ornaments on it, which is more beautiful than the props in the previous life. The big medicine pot has medicinal juice added to it, of course, it is all fake, but at least it looks real, thick, with the color of herbs, and the effect is better than the old work in the previous life.
The film of the previous life is completely pouring water, which is medicine! That's a bath, not a healing.
The big medicine pot is boiling water on the surface, but in fact, it is heated with cold water with ice cubes, and there is a heat insulation layer inside. The props team and the scene notes have been carefully calculated in advance, and they are foolproof. As for the water mist steam, it can be made with post-production special effects, which is very simple and not difficult to do.
Each department was in place, and at this time, the director gave an order and officially started filming.
The camera moves from the position of the flame and the pot, to the sides of the two actors.
The old actor sat in the tank and was silent, like an old monk in meditation, and like sitting in dry meditation, his face was solemn and slightly painful, as if he was trying his best to suppress the injuries in his body, and the performance was indeed extremely exciting and realistic.
Zhou Yi also began to perform hard. He pulled the bellows hard beside him, wiping the hot sweat from his forehead from time to time. The sweat on his face was all make-up made up by the makeup artist, and it was impossible to really stuff him in the secret room and smoke and roast him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yi cooperated with the plot, said the lines, the expression on his face was also very good, and the movements were even sharper, he looked really good, and he completely entered the performance state. It's the first time I've acted, and it's pretty good to have such a performance, even if it's just a simple performance.
It can be seen that Zhou Yi is still very talented in acting.
He is completely different from those idol actors who are not very talented in acting and only rely on their appearance.
And he can put down his body, be willing to perform hard, and really get into the state of performance, which is especially valuable.
If you can only pretend to be cool and can't put it on the shelf, it will be very troublesome.
When encountering that kind of actor, it is useless for the director to teach him.
If you can't liberate your nature, everything will be in vain.
Behind the director's monitor, Director Zhao nodded quietly, quite satisfied.
There will always be some scruples about filming the boss's scene, but the current situation is much better than he imagined in advance, and it seems that there is no need to bother too much.
However, this scene mainly depends on the acting skills and lines of the old actors.
Zhou Yi just put up a few lines.
Everyone played very well.
As the seemingly heavy door of the secret room props was slowly pulled up by the props team members, this set of shots was finally successfully completed.
The veteran actor is very experienced and acts very well.
The director shouted to stop, looked at the video, was very satisfied with the effect, and passed it all over again.
Everyone congratulated Zhou Yi, and the first scene went smoothly, over and over again.
Director Zhao was also very satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance, and basically achieved the effect he wanted, which was really good.
The old actor also praised Zhou Yi's performance, not to say kind words.
The five leading actors also think that he acted well and has a great future.
Tang Yan thinks that her brother's acting is okay, although he is not currently from a professional class, he is clever enough to act, and he is not dull at all, which is enough. What do you want a young actor to look like? That's remarkable.
Even if the Chinese actor is allowed to play it, there is little room for this kind of role, basically that's it.
After this scene, Zhou Yi became more confident.
Although the previous scene was very simple, this is the first scene in his life, and it is the first scene in the beginning, which is very meaningful.
Next, the crew took a little rest, and everyone helped the old actors clean their bodies, put on new costumes, and touch up their makeup.
Then shoot the second set of shots in this set.
The shots under each set were shot together, not in the order of the script, but in the order of the scene.
The old actor sat cross-legged on the quaint cloud bed behind the large round cylinder.
Zhou Yi sat opposite, equally ready.
Before filming, the line director came over again and reviewed the lines with the two actors to make sure it was okay.
Then Director Zhao gave the order and officially started filming.
Zhou Yi also performed well in this scene, with his behavior, facial expressions, and a few lines, all of which played to a certain level. He completely hypnotized himself into Yang De, which is still very effective.
After all, he had undergone long-term and rigorous training as a military hypnotist earlier, and he was very good at hypnosis, switching between the awake state and the hypnotic state continuously, extremely relaxed, not as troublesome as others thought.
When the director ordered filming to start, he went into a hypnotic state; The director shouted to stop, and he quit the hypnotic state.
The memory of hypnotic keywords is very clear.
The connection between entering and exiting the play is appropriate, very familiar, and it is indeed wonderful.
With this kind of ability, he filmed these simple scenes that did not require advanced acting skills, and he was naturally handy, and he really played well, which surprised everyone. Of course, if filming a scene that requires high-level acting skills, his own ability is not enough, no matter how hypnotic he is, it is difficult to achieve the most ideal effect, but no matter what, with his current strength, it is more than enough to cope with the role of the little junior brother in the drama in front of him.
Although the role is simple and the acting requirements are not high, Zhou Yi's performance still won everyone's unanimous approval.
Even the directors and actors present felt that Zhou Yi was a little extraordinary.
His performance really doesn't look like that of a fledgling young actor.
What's more, he hasn't been on Yanying yet!
However, everyone can't figure out what's going on, and can only attribute it to Zhou Yi that he does have acting talent.
Some actors have such talent, they can learn without a teacher, even if they have not attended a professional acting school, they can act very well, and even perform in their true colors, they can win awards and get soft hands, which is enviable.
And even if some actors have good looks and have attended famous art schools, they have studied for a few years, but they are not very good at acting, and no one can do anything. That's the talent gap. There are a lot of such things in the industry, and everyone has long been surprised.
Zhou Yi has such an acting talent, and the directors are very pleased, and they don't have to worry about the whole drama collapsing because of him.
The actors are naturally under pressure, and they are all thinking about how they should act, so as not to be robbed of the show by the young boss. If you are robbed of the show by a young man who is a fledgling and has not attended a professional college, it is too embarrassing for everyone to ignore it.
In fact, they are too worried, with Zhou Yi's current acting skills, they can't grab their drama if they want to.
But being able to put such pressure on these leading actors is enough to prove Zhou Yi's acting talent.
