Chapter 777. The god of the play
readx;
It is said that Chen Xiaotang, who was touching up his makeup in the dressing room, heard the shouting outside. After the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info came out, I saw director Xu Ke smoking vigorously on the side, and at that end, the king Mike crossed Erlang's legs, lying on a chair basking in the sun, and as soon as he looked at the situation, he knew that something was wrong.
Chen Xiaotang didn't bother with Mike first, but walked up to director Xu Ke and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Ke shook his head and said helplessly: "This scene can't be filmed anymore." ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled, "It's not so serious, is it?" ”
"How is it not serious? I just wanted him to follow the script, but he directly picked on him, is this still what an actor should do? ”
"Hehe, he wasn't an actor in the first place, he was a singer, and the fans spoiled him, so he couldn't stand the grievances!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Pick, he can't stand the grievances, can I? Do I look like a punching bag? ”
"How can it be, Director Xu, how do you look at it, you are a man, how can it be a punching bag......"
"Stylish man? You're laughing at me for being like ribs, aren't you? I'm skinny, but I'm full of muscles! ”
"Yes, yes, you are old and strong...... Hehe, how do you always want to be angry? ”
"How? Let him apologize to me! Xu Ke said unceremoniously.
"Ahem, cough," Chen Xiaotang coughed violently, "Is there any other choice?" ”
"Pick, what do you think is a multiple-choice question...... I'm not angry that I came all the way from Hong Kong! Xu Kezhen said with words.
"I can understand this, but no matter what people say, they are also kings, so it seems a bit ...... for him to apologize"
"So you can't do it? Okay, book me a plane ticket, I'll fly back to Hong Kong tomorrow, you can ask for another high! ”
"Why don't you learn what is good, and what you learn is bad. Is it that much fun? Chen Xiaotang was anxious.
"Don't coax me, let that heavenly king apologize to me!"
"Okay, I'll try, you always drink water first......" Chen Xiaotang was speechless, this old man Xu was stubborn and couldn't pull back ten cows.
I had no choice but to start from Mike, the innocent and simple king who hadn't been ruined by bad habits.
Chen Xiaotang walked over, and Mike was still biting the straw and sucking orange juice. Seeing Chen Xiaotang coming over, he immediately greeted warmly: "Hey, man." This orange juice is very good, come and try it! ”
Chen Xiaotang sat down and said, "How can I be in the mood to drink orange juice at this time!" ”
"What's wrong, why are you bothered?" I don't know if this Mike is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
"Ahem. It's not your business yet...... You were angry at the director just now? ”
"Oh God, is this the case, it's not that I'm angry at him, it's that he's so annoying that he even says that my acting skills are too bad!"
"What do you think?"
"What?"
"Your acting skills?"
"It's not as good as you, but it's also very good!" Mike Tian said shamelessly.
For this kind of guy who feels good about himself, Chen Xiaotang had to smile bitterly.
"But after all, he is the director I hired from Hong Kong. You give him some face. ”
"Ha, face, my king Mike is enough to give him face, and I have taken ten shots in one shot. If I had made a song MV, I would have been angry! Mike said angrily.
Chen Xiaotang was speechless, both of them had quite big tempers, and it was difficult to be a man if they were caught in the middle.
"That Mike. You see, you were invited by me. Why do I invite you to the show, not because you are famous and famous enough, but because I think you are very special......"
"Special, what's special?" Mike curious.
Chen Xiaotang pretended to look at Mike deeply, "I think you are not only good at singing, but also very talented in acting!" ”
When Mike heard this, he didn't think so.
"Talent, I've known it for a long time. When I was filming the MV, those directors said that I was talented in acting! ”
Chen Xiaotang coughed up, this is really shameless.
had no choice but to continue: "Yes, I've seen almost all the songs you filmed in the MV, and then I came to a conclusion, this Mike is a genius, even if he doesn't sing and changes to acting, he will definitely win the Oscar!" ”
"Oscar-winning actor?" Mike was stunned for a moment, then he said with interest, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
For a long time, as a black man, Mike's achievements in the music industry have been in the spotlight, but compared to the real Oscar, it seems to be ...... It's also very beautiful to be an actor, especially when holding a little golden man on the podium, it seems to be even more bullish than holding a Grammy. If you have the opportunity to raise a move, it will probably be very cool......
Seeing that someone had moved his mind, Chen Xiaotang nodded very sincerely, "Of course it's true, if you are willing to act with your heart." ”
"But I ......," Mike gestured, "I hate it when people are pointing fingers at me!" Buzzing in your ears like flies, it's annoying! ”
Chen Xiaotang: "That's not pointing fingers at you, let alone annoying for no reason, but letting you shape characters and characters according to the requirements of the script." For example, do you like to sing on stage? ”
"Like. Needless to say......"
"Do you need to cooperate with the backup dancer when performing on stage?"
"yes, they're right behind my ass......"
"Yes, it's actually! They are the supporting characters and you are the main character! Chen Xiaotang said solemnly, "The most important thing is that the choreographer reminds you how to do it, how to bury it, and how to gather the attention of fans?" ”
"Yes, they're very verbose!"
"That's right again! They're like a director, and I want you to follow the script they designed and sing that song on stage in a dancing way......"
"It's kind of similar...... "Mike scratches his head.
"So, you just see this as a stage performance, according to the director's requirements, you can do what you want, it must be no problem!" Chen Xiaotang said firmly.
Mike nodded, "Okay, dear Raffi Chen, you said so much, just to let me hear the director's words." Forget it this time, I believe you! ”
Chen Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, "Look, you are an understanding person, so should you say hello to the director?" Like what...... Apologies or something......"
"Apologize? Let me apologize to him? Oh God. It's absolutely impossible! Mike, the king of heaven who had already become a good child, immediately refused.
"Who am I, how can I apologize to him?! Chen, are you mistaken?! You don't have a fever in your head, do you? Mike looked like he wanted to save face.
If you let outsiders know that you apologized to a not-so-well-known Hong Kong director, then you won't be laughed at by your peers! Who you are, the king of American pop, your every move is full of weight, and you must not do it, yes. Never! Mike made up his mind.
Seeing Mike's appearance of a black underground party who "won't kill or do anything", Chen Xiaotang seems to have been prepared.
"What if I promised to write a song for you?" Chen Xiaotang suddenly opened his mouth and said temptingly.
As we all know, the songs written by Chen Xiaotang are definitely the cattle forks of the cow forks, and as one of his friends, the king Mike knows best. Especially at the last concert, the song that Chen Xiaotang helped him create was a blockbuster, and now he actually agreed to open his mouth to create another song, can Mike not be tempted?
"No! Absolutely not! Mike swallowed hard and said.
"Hehe, then, what about the two?" Chen Xiaotang continued to provoke his little heart.
"This. No, how shameless I am! Mike scratched his head.
"Three, no more!" Chen Xiaotang's tone was categorical.
"Good! Deal! Mike accepted it when he saw it, and directly shook Chen Xiaotang's hand.
Chen Xiaotang: "......?!" ”
looked at Chen Xiaotang's stupid look. Mike smiled strangely: "Actually, my expectation is just one song, thank you for giving two songs!" ”
Chen Xiaotang: "Heh, you are too cunning! ”
"Hahaha!" Mike laughed, "No matter how cunning you are, you can't be cunning." Even Fox has been swallowed by you! ”
Chen Xiaotang was speechless.
This way. The great director Xu Ke was squatting in the corner of the wall and snorting cigarette butts, and saw Chen Xiaotang walking over with the pop king Mike.
Xu Kexin said that Eight ~ Nine Tang Zai wants to make peace with the mud, if this is really the case, give him a step down, after all, this drama has spent a lot of his own effort, and he has to shoot it no matter what.
Xu Keke doesn't think that King Mike will apologize to himself, what is his identity, what is his identity...... Don't look at yourself as a very good director in the Hong Kong director industry, but when you come to Hollywood, you are a rookie, who knows you as the oldest. If Chen Xiaotang hadn't tried his best to recommend himself, it is estimated that he would still be filming martial arts films in Hong Kong, how would he have the opportunity to come here to show his strengths.
Therefore, Xu Laowei is still very grateful to Chen Xiaotang, what he said before are all angry words, people, who doesn't want face. What's more, as a director, if you can't even control the actors under your hands, you will be laughed at by other actors, and it will be difficult to shoot this scene in the future.
Seeing Chen Xiaotang and Mike coming, Xu Laowei was ready to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so as not to make a big fuss.
But before he finished preparing, he heard Mike say to him: "It's a lot, dear director, I was a little impulsive just now, let's get along, ok?!" He held out his hand.
Xu Ke was dumbfounded, looked at Mike, and then at Chen Xiaotang, no, how did Tang Zai do it, and he actually made the famous Hollywood king apologize!
Xu Ke was still stupid, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help coughing, "What, Director Xu, are you still angry?" ”
Xu Ke came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly shook Mike's hand and said, "I also made mistakes, but those are over, let's start again!" ”
Seeing Xu Ke and Mike reconcile as before, Chen Xiaotang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now his biggest headache is what kind of song to write for Mike...... You know, this guy is a shrewd guy on the head, enjoying ordinary songs to fool him, and there is no door!
Over the next few days, the filming of the League of Assassins became even smoother. Mike, the king of heaven without a big shelf, under the training of director Xu Ke, his acting skills have also been greatly improved, I have to say that this guy is really a genius, as long as he is willing to work hard, everything is OK.
As the heroine, Madonna, although her acting skills are not flattering, but the degree of effort is obvious to all, especially compared to Mike, she seems to believe that diligence can make up for her clumsiness, as a female star, it is already remarkable to be willing to endure hardships, and it is even more amazing to be able to endure hardships.
Now people know how a woman like Madonna can dominate the entertainment industry and become a super diva, in a word, it is the result of people's hard work.
In addition to being willing to endure hardships, rest time. Madonna even took the initiative to find Chen Xiaotang...... At first, someone suspected that others were seducing themselves, and when they understood that Madonna was asking for acting skills, someone's old face couldn't help but blush.
"Why can't I find the feeling when I'm filming?" Madonna asked bluntly.
Chen Xiaotang is not allowed to act as a teacher temporarily, "Every actor who acts hard has encountered such a problem, in fact, it is very simple, making a movie is simple and complicated, simple is the shooting of one shot, complex is complicated, and there are many things that need to be contained in this shot!" ”
"But I'm doing a good job in the stage. Singing and dancing in one go, that's like this, it's always n-machine. Madonna pouted, puzzled.
Chen Xiaotang added: "The problem is. Acting in a stage play can be performed in one go, and acting in a TV series is simpler. However, movies are different, a shot is so short, how much time do you need to mobilize emotions and find the right feeling? By the time you find your feelings, the director has already shouted cut! ”
Madonna nodded as if she didn't understand.
Actually, such a question. It is indeed something that every actor who acts with his heart will encounter. Film acting is a very precise job, but a shot is so short, and when you find a feeling, the director shouts cut. So what?
In fact, it is very similar to some TV series or stage actors, they can act well in TV series or stage plays, and their acting skills are recognized as strong. However, acting in movies. But not every one of them is suitable, because some people are born with the possibility of finding feelings in such a short period of time. What's more, they can't find the rhythm of acting in a movie.
Seeing that Madonna was still a little puzzled and looked like she was thinking hard, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but say: "There's nothing to think about, there are two ways to help you!" ”
"One is to be in the state all the time, so you can enter the state at any time!" Chen Xiaotang said slowly. "But ......" Speaking of this, Chen Xiaotang suddenly stopped talking.
"But what?" Madonna looked at him with beautiful eyes.
"However, it is easy to enter, but it is difficult to withdraw, and many old drama bones can't reach the realm of this kind of 'drama god', so before your acting skills reach the level of 'free entry and exit', try to use the substitution method as little as possible, and it is easy to have problems with that spirit!"
Madonna understands that the so-called always in the state actually means that after using the substitution method, you have never separated the role from yourself. However, it is easy to go wrong in that way, and she vaguely knows that Hollywood star Robert . When De Niro starred in the driver of "Taxi", he relied on this method to act, and he worked as a taxi driver for more than a month before filming.
"And what about you, dear Chen, can you 'come and go freely' in terms of roles?" Madonna asked curiously.
Come and go freely, drama gods?!
Chen Xiaotang was silent for a moment and said, "I... Not yet. Sometimes it takes me a long time to pull out of a role after I finish a role......"
Chen Xiaotang is telling the truth, for example, when he was filming the drama "Uncle", his mood was gloomy for more than a week, so that he had to rely on practicing kung fu to dispel the negative emotions hidden in his heart. and after he filmed "New World", because of the role of "Li Zicheng", his words and deeds had an inexplicable change, especially at the conference to rectify Fox, this kind of psychological hint of "condescending" and "grasping the power of life and death" made him can't help but kick out Fox veterans like "Tiger" Richard directly from his position......
"And what is the second way?" Seeing that Chen Xiaotang was deep in thought, Madonna had to continue to ask.
"The second is rhythm, you know that whether you are acting in a movie or a TV series, you have your own rhythm, and if you find the rhythm, you can easily find the feeling!" Chen Xiaotang paused and said.
"Rhythm? Is there a sense of rhythm in acting? Madonna suddenly felt that acting was becoming more and more interesting, and here, it seemed that there would always be new things that she could not excavate!
Chen Xiaotang nodded, "Yes, it is precisely because of this that many excellent movie actors prefer to act in stage plays compared to the dryness and boredom of acting on the set, such as the Broadway classic "Cats". They can use their skills on stage and finish this stage play in one go, because you can never get that feeling when making a movie! The movie is divided into shots, and the actors must act one by one, not all at once, so that you can't get any acting pleasure and that smooth feeling! ”
Madonna is almost stupid, as a singer, the only sense of pleasure~ and accomplishment is the praise and applause from the fans. And, of course, maybe the feeling of counting the bills...... But I didn't expect the pleasure of being an actor~ to come from acting in a stage play......
At that moment, Madonna suddenly understood many things that she didn't understand before, and vaguely, she seemed to feel some doorways.
When filming restarted, Madonna gradually made her role three-dimensional according to the feeling she had summed up, no longer so monotonous and dull, and her acting was not as jerky as at the beginning, and there was a tendency to do it in one go.
The progress of the actors and the harmony of the crew have made the filming progress continue to accelerate. Such a change makes everyone happy; However, there is no happiest person in the whole crew than the great director Xu Ke, who has been in Hong Kong for so long, and has never been as happy as he is in Hollywood now. Think about it, Super King Mike, Super Queen Madonna, and international superstar Chen Xiaotang, all three of them have to do things under their own command, this feeling is super cool!
A crew, like a new car, if you want to run fast, you must go through the run-in period, and now, the run-in period has long passed, and it is almost the last rapid progress.
