Chapter 175: Acting skills
"Ah Ran, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Ran thought about it over and over on the bed, but unexpectedly woke up Lin Qingxia, blaming herself, thinking about it, why do you have to turn over and over like this. Lin Qingxia turned on the light, and when she saw Xiao Ran's look of self-blame, she immediately knew what he was thinking: "It's okay, I just fell asleep!" ”
Xiao Ran nodded, and said casually: "I'm wondering whether to buy the film company, or to buy Light and Magic and Pixar......" Speaking of this, he knew that he had missed his mouth.
Lin Qingxia was really puzzled and asked: "Now that Phantom is not already the largest film company in Hong Kong, why bother to buy it again." Also, What is that Light & Fidel and Pixar? ”
After hesitating for a moment, he told Lin Qingxia about the business of these two companies. Lin Qingxia pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Computer special effects, isn't the company already doing it?" Why buy them? ”
Xiao Ran sighed, leaned on the head of the bed and said, "According to my inference, the computer will definitely be able to make progress in breaking through the surname leap in three years. And in the future, computers will become the main means of filmmaking. If we can't prepare in time, we are afraid that we will lose at the hands of Hollywood in the future! ”
"If you want to buy a Hollywood studio, you just want to distribute the network, and now the local films have not developed to the point where they can compete with Hollywood, so they are not very useful." Lin Qingxia thought about it carefully, and quickly gave a suggestion: "Since you think that computers can play a great role, it is better to start first." ”
Xiao Ran suddenly had a feeling of sudden penetration, and when the question he had been thinking about was answered, he suddenly remembered that Hollywood and Skywalker Recording Company had a monopoly in the future. and Dolby Laboratories, all of which should be taken down. Well, there is also the DTS technology that came out later, and if you have the opportunity, you can also win it.
The distribution network is not important, the key is the technology, as long as you can get it. When Xiao Ran is not involved in its internal operations and research and development work, the technology is in the hands of the Phantom. When the time comes, it will really call for wind and rain.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt extremely comfortable, and his relaxed and happy emotions returned to his body again. At this time, he was stunned and looked at Lin Qingxia, who pursed his lips and chuckled: "Why are you ......?"
It's really strange, Lin Qingxia has no reason to know these business things, and it is unlikely that she will know how to analyze all this for Xiao Ran. Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing, and her finger lightly poked Xiao Ran's head: "Don't you forget, I've always learned this, I want to be a small clerk in your company in the future!" ”
"What a little clerk!" Xiao Ran thought about it, tapped his head lightly, and then deliberately looked at Lin Qingxia with a smile: "Let's do your job as a promising boss lady!" ”
"You're going to talk nonsense!" Lin Qingxia's crimson face always looked inexplicably tempting, but she gritted her teeth and said: "This actor of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", why don't you play it!" ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ran was surprised, is Lin Qingxia not a great actor like Fa Ge? He turned around and stopped his gaze on Lin Qingxia's red lips: "Brother Fa is very good......
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran saw Lin Qingxia's strange look on her face, and suddenly understood. It turned out that Lin Qingxia just wanted to play a rival with him, but on the screen, since he figured this out, he couldn't help laughing, and laughed until Lin Qingxia pushed him angrily.
Xiao Ran, who almost fell out of bed, barely stopped laughing, and fell on the side of Lin Qingxia's calf, his fingers gently drawing circles on the skin as smooth as jade, making Lin Qingxia's face red.
Acting! Xiao Ran was very hesitant, acting didn't seem to be suitable for him. After experiencing the fact that Xu Ke was often taught a lesson on the set of "Sword and Horse", he was wary of acting this thing. The main thing is that he really can't talk about acting skills.
"I don't seem to be a good fit, and I don't want to have a relationship with you!" Xiao Ran groaned, but his fingers were still drawing circles, which made Lin Qingxia feel itchy, sat up and slapped it off. Xiao Ran looked at Lin Qingxia, who was itchy and blushing, and said, "Moreover, my performance doesn't seem to be very good!" ”
"What are you afraid of, aren't you very interested in movies?" Lin Qingxia looked at Xiao Ran with a smile, and now Xiao Ran was rolling around on the bed like a loach: "It's just that I asked you to be the leading actor, you have a lot of time recently, let's shoot a drama and try it!" ”
The result? Coupled with the fierce speculation of the Oriental News some time ago, it is estimated that it is still quite gimmicky. Xiao Ran thought of his acting, and couldn't help but be happy: "No problem, as long as you let me kiss it, I'll act!" ”
When Lin Qingxia heard this, she smiled secretly and immediately made a flying kiss. Xiao Ran was dumbfounded, this is all called a kiss? Naturally, I didn't do it, and immediately pounced on it and made a mess, which goes without saying......
took the opportunity to advise the watchman, promising that this thing was still less good, for example, Xiao Ran was extremely distressed now. Because he suddenly found that he didn't have enough time, even though he didn't have much to deal with, he still had some things to do.
However, since he promised to act, this time is really not enough, and many times he takes his work home to do. It's a pity that because Xiao Ran decided in advance that the schedule of this film was summer vacation, he couldn't delay it slowly for the sake of progress. Besides, it was he who dragged down and lost.
For director Chen Kexin and producer Zhang Wanyao, they are the real pain. In peacetime, on the set, if the actor ng a few times, the director can scold, which is completely normal. However, in the face of Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, no one dared to scold. Just kidding, unless they don't want to mess around, it's pretty much the same.
The most typical is this scene, which is the scene where the actor is shot. Xiao Ran acted in this death scene at least ten times alone, and every actor was snickering, and even the staff didn't let Xiao Ran go.
Xiao Ran is very distressed, don't think that he can guide other people's performances, then he must be the actor. The difference in perspective and identity can easily lead to a lack of perspective. Now Xiao Ran is in such a state, he thinks he is acting very well, but he does not meet the director's requirements at all.
was shot, and Xiao Ran's body quickly fell to the ground. Chen Kexin's eyes straightened, and he took a breath of cool air and shouted: "Cut!" ”
Xiao Ran stood up helplessly, he knew that he had smashed up again. But he doesn't want to do this, all along, when he is torn between the mall and the underworld, he has always been able to show perfect acting skills. However, now he has discovered that the acting skills in life are different from the acting skills on the screen.
When performing, it needs to strengthen a certain effect, so that you can get a strong sensory impact on the screen. Lin Qingxia regretted it a little, if Fa Ge came to act in this scene, he would definitely be able to pass it once, not to mention anything else, it means that the scene at the end of "The True Color of Heroes" is much stronger when he was shot and fell.
Xiao Ran shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand to the staff who helped him up, and motioned for them to go and busy themselves. He stood in place and thought about it for a long time, and found that he couldn't simulate the original male protagonist anyway.
Maybe you might as well have something of your own! Xiao Ran thought quietly, it was not difficult for him to act in this scene. The difficulty is that if we can make this performance not so orthodox. Too traditional performance methods are uncharacteristic performance skills, except for a very small number of actors like Fa Ge who can interpret orthodox skills to the limit, almost no one can rely on orthodox skills to succeed.
You need to have something of your own! This is a very lively and cheerful character. Xiao Ran closed his eyes slightly and meditated, he thought that if his method of acting still didn't work, then he could only try to make himself overlap with the characters in the play.
This method is really not what Xiao Ran wants, what will happen if the cheerful surname encounters sad emotions together? Xiao Ran opened his eyes violently, he thought that he should indeed understand. The sadness in the film is weakened because of the supporting actress, so he doesn't need to make himself cheerful.
The eyes need to be sad, and in terms of expression, he thinks he can be quieter, so that he can just contrast with the performance of the supporting actress. In terms of body language, Xiao Ran thinks that he can let go a little bit, convey his psychology with his body and eyes, and his expression is quieter. In this case, the sense of contrast comes out, which should be a very extreme stimulus.
After figuring it out, Xiao Ran immediately burst into a bright smile and greeted Chen Kexin. This scene just began, and when the camera just started to operate, Xiao Ran and the actor were entangled, and they immediately separated, and their bodies slowly fell down, their eyes wide open, and their fingers raised slightly.
“cut!” Chen Kexin sighed, not only him, but the other staff also gasped. If they don't shoot this scene well, I'm afraid that it will be too late to finish work. Chen Kexin was very satisfied with Xiao Ran's performance, and he felt that the feeling of being slow and almost static was what he wanted.
Xiao Ran understands Chen Kexin's style relatively well, and Chen's use of the camera is often used to ingesting what he wants in medium and long shots, and then using some live environments to accompany him. Moreover, he felt that Chen Kexin seemed to have an interesting habit of using the back lens, which can be found in his works if he looked closely.
The next few scenes are much easier to shoot, such as scenes such as through the wall, which need to be done with the help of the special effects team. However, it is no problem for the special effects team to do this little scene, otherwise Xiao Ran would not have wasted so much money!
The next scene is to meet the goddess, Xiao Ran has considered two actors to play this role here, the first is Wu Mengda. What this role needs is comedy, Wu Mengda has already collaborated with Zhou Xingchi in two films, which is naturally more than enough in this regard, and Xiao Ran also fully believes in the best green leaves of this era.
The second is the "ghost woman" Luo Lan, so it is the "ghost woman", because this old actor has acted in countless ghost movies, and he is quite similar to Lei Yuyang, another known as the "ghost king". Luo Lan's weakness lies in the fact that his appearance is not comedy at all, and it looks weird.
However, Xiao Ran finally abandoned Wu Mengda, after all, if two men played together, the masculinity of this film would be heavy. In the end, the choice was Luo Lan, it doesn't matter if she looks a little gloomy, makeup can solve this problem.
Here, Chen Kexin demanded that Luo Lan must speak as fast as a bullet, which caused Luo Lan some trouble. Fortunately, she is an old drama bone, but she quickly satisfied the director.
The following scene went smoothly because Xiao Ran figured out how to act it. It's just that he acted smoothly, but Chen Kexin felt that something was wrong. Staring at the picture of the camera, Chen Kexin's feeling that something was wrong became more and more intense, and for some reason, he even asked the photographer to give Xiao Ran a few close-ups, especially in his eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Kexin was shocked, and he understood where something was wrong. Xiao Ran's performance was quite different from what he imagined, and it was really different, so he had to change the way he filmed.
Don't think that the actor's performance has nothing to do with the director's scheduling, for example, Xiao Ran's current performance, his face is not expressionless, but it is more expressed through his eyes and body language. This forced Chen Kexin to give Xiao Ran a close-up, otherwise it would be difficult to feel that emotion.
After calling a stop, Chen Kexin walked up to Xiao Ran, who was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally said hard: "Brother Ran, it doesn't seem good for you to act like this, you indirectly control me!" ”
"Control you?" Xiao Ran was not only stunned now, she almost wanted to laugh out loud, how could an actor's performance control the director's affairs. Suddenly, he was stunned, because he thought of an extremely real example to prove that the actor's performance was definitely not incapable of controlling the director.
That's a historical thing, that film is "Beast Detective", which is the best film and best actor at the Academy Awards, and the film that made Huang Qiusheng the emperor for the second time. The director of that film was Chen Jiashang, and in the first half of that film, Chen Jiashang controlled it very well. However, in the second half, Huang Qiusheng's performance was so crazy that he even forced Chen Jiashang to change the filming technique and script.
This is the first time Xiao Ran heard about the actor's performance that can force the director to be uncontrollable, and the second is "Gunfire", when he first filmed this film, Wu Zhenyu also had his own ideas and wanted to make his performance come alive.
