Chapter 143: Breaking through bottlenecks
To be honest, Duan Zihao's acting skills are actually not as good as Zhang Guirong, Zhang Guirong was a famous drama maniac in his previous life, and he was too deep into the play to be difficult to get out, so that after filming "Different Space", he jumped from a tall building in imitation of the characters in the play.
In this regard, Duan Zihao simply admired the five-body throw.
It is precisely because of this that "Baili Tusu" played by Duan Zihao is always a little less "flesh and blood" than "Ouyang Shaogong" played by Zhang Guirong.
For this reason, Duan Zihao was very distressed, and Mi Xue, who was playing against him, was also distressed.
Michelle is the kind of demanding person, and when she feels that the role played by Duan Zihao is not as good as the role played by Zhang Guirong, she has an inexplicable impulse, eager to become a whip and spur Duan Zihao to keep moving forward.
Under the spur of Mi Xue, Duan Zihao was a little confused, which is like a sober person who became a little radical under the spur, so that the brain is filled with too much utilitarianism, which is not conducive to the interpretation of the role.
The pressure was too much and counterproductive.
Duan Zihao made such a mistake.
Originally, he was the most familiar with this story and knew the character best, but he didn't know how to grasp this role.
At this time, he remembered a sentence: If you want to play a role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are two ways, one is to fully devote yourself to the role and think of yourself as the role you will play, and the other is to use high acting skills to simulate the various feelings and expressions of the character.
Which way should I do it? When Duan Zihao thought about it like this, he couldn't help but laugh first. With your current level, where can you talk about dedicating yourself wholeheartedly? Then, there is only one way left to integrate into the character. Come to think of it. As a person who has come over, he can learn from the movie characters in his previous life and simulate any character image, which should be a advantage for him to improve his acting skills.
Closing his eyes, Duan Zihao began to recall the scenes and dialogues in the play in his previous life, and gradually formed vivid pictures in his mind. Love at first sight. All the way to the thrill, it is no longer a rigid text. It's as smooth and lively as a movie. In his imagination, it was a bit strange to watch himself act accordingly according to the script and say the corresponding words. However, he soon realized that he was not fully able to grasp this role, and many times his movements were stiff, and his expression was even awkward.
"No, if I really act like this, then I don't even want to watch the TV series that I made." Duan Zihao sighed deeply and became troubled.
This night, Duan Zihao recalled many TV series he had watched in his previous life, but it didn't help him at all, and he just thought it was fun to watch TV. But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to act on TV. This is the first time Duan Zihao has encountered a bottleneck in his acting skills, and he is at a loss.
But after thinking hard all night, Duan Zihao finally thought of a solution. That is to find director Xu Ke and use his own understanding to create the character of "Baili Tusu".
Xu Ke didn't expect Duan Zihao to take the initiative to ask for advice. You must know that in the eyes of Xu Xu, Duan Zihao is the kind of actor who is only one step away from genius, and the only thing he can help is to try his best to shoot every shot, and he never thought of being Duan Zihao's "actor mentor". The main thing is that he doesn't feel like he has the qualifications.
"That's right, the more I played the role to the end, the more difficult it became. Especially when competing with Zhang Guirong, I feel a little powerless, so I hope to use your perspective as a director to help me improve the recognition of this character and make him come alive, rather than the superficial character I played.
As soon as he heard Duan Zihao sincerely put forward this request, director Xu Ke suddenly came to his senses, from the initial conception after reading the script to the determination of the details, he was gushing.
Duan Zihao listened carefully, and asked a lot of questions, which were not in his original script, but should be according to the character's personality behavior, such as the character's personality change, the character's expression, manners, and attitude towards anything, etc., imperceptibly in the TV series. In short, it is necessary to make all aspects of this character three-dimensional, so that it is convenient for you to grasp it.
Some people say that the script was written by Duan Zihao, why can't he grasp the characters?
This is to mention a sentence: the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
No matter how good a screenwriter and writer is, he will not be a great actor, and the reason is - his subjective consciousness is too strong. In the process of writing the script, he has substituted himself into the male lead, which makes the whole script become centered on him, and forget that a play is not performed by one person, but the result of collective efforts.
Duan Zihao is the same, from the very beginning, he regarded himself as the center of the whole play, and felt that other characters should revolve around him. It wasn't until "Ouyang Shaogong" played by Zhang Guirong became a flesh-and-blood character that Duan Zihao woke up, he was too arrogant and detached from the role itself.
Now, Duan Zihao wants Xu Ke to wake himself up, find himself, and let him realize that he is just an actor, not the center of the whole play, and this play depends on everyone's efforts.
As soon as the two of them discussed these issues, they forgot about the others, and some of the questions raised by Duan Zihao were not considered by Xu Ke himself, and then the two of them reimagined the sketch, trying to make this character completely alive. In the end, although the script was largely unchanged, more details were excavated in addition to the content of the script in all aspects, forming a perfect framework, and Duan Zihao finally fully understood the character he wanted to play, and the scenes that he originally thought were difficult to interpret suddenly became simpler.
When the last problem was also solved, Duan Zihao and Xu Kecai were now dark, and they actually talked all day.
"I'm sorry to delay you for so long." Duan Zihao himself can starve, but he doesn't think that everyone can do the same Cheng dΓΉ as him.
Xu Ke didn't care at all, and fully used the characteristics of Xu Laowei to say: "It's rare to have someone to go crazy with me, and it doesn't matter if it's hard work." Having said that, the rumbling stomach did not show him mercy.
Duan Zihao couldn't help laughing, Xu Kelao's face was slightly red, and he laughed together in the end, and the two of them laughed together at the end, although the two have a tacit understanding together, but at this moment the two are more like friends for many years.
Although he was not too hungry, Duan Zihao finally accompanied him to the restaurant to rub a meal in order to express his gratitude to Xu Ke.
In this process, Xu Ke rarely put aside his identity as a great director and told his story with an open mind.
It is said that when Xu Ke was ten years old, he was already interested in film, and he once rented a video camera with a friend to shoot magic shows and broadcast them in school. He also loves comics. This had a great influence on his film style. Since childhood, he has had a strong interest in films, and since the age of 13, he has been making films of eight centimeters.
Later, he went to Texas to study film. After graduating, he moved to New York and did various film-related jobs, such as helping people show movies in movie theaters, including China's model drama "Outwitting Tiger Mountain". Among them, he said that the model drama had too much influence on him, and it felt like China's oo7, and he would also shoot such a scene in the future.
In this regard, Duan Zihao couldn't help but wonder, if he remembered well in his previous life, Xu Laowei really fulfilled such a wish, as a Hong Kong native, he was the first to remake this red classic......
Returning to Hong Kong in 1977, Xu Ke joined Television Broadcasts Limited as a director and producer. A year later, he switched to "Jia Shi" with Liang Shuyi, during which he filmed a 9-episode TV series "Golden Knife Lover" adapted from Gu Long's novel, and became famous in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a turning point in Xu Ke's directorial career, and his talent was noticed by the film producer.
Later, he was promoted by Wu Siyuan to shoot his first costume feature film "Butterfly Change" in Siyuan Film Company, although this film was not mature, but Tsui Hark's unique style and skillful skills made "Butterfly Change" stand out from the kung fu films that flooded the market at that time, and was valued and praised by colleagues in the film industry, and was considered one of the representative works of the "New Wave" of Hong Kong films.
Although Xu Ke's career as a director seems to be smooth sailing, he is also aware of the joys and hardships. I was quite embarrassed.
As a person who has come over, Duan Zihao definitely has much more experience than many of his peers, and the things he has experienced are also rugged and bumpy, after listening to Xu Ke's story, he suddenly has a deeper understanding of Xu Ke.
In the eyes of many people, Xu Lao Wei is actually just a child who keeps chasing his dreams. His movie dream is so magnificent, so tortuous, so colorful, and it is precisely because of this that he will be able to be reborn and bloom in the big 6 market after the decline of Hong Kong films in the future. After thinking about it carefully, Duan Zihao said sincerely: "Director Xu, you are older than me, and your achievements are higher than mine, but I feel that I am becoming more and more attached to you, if you don't mind, I will be your brother in the future, I will call you a big brother, how about it?" β
Xu Ke didn't expect Duan Zihao to say this, and suddenly laughed: "Of course it's good, it's too late for me to be happy to have a small guy like you!" β
In fact, Xu Ke also admires Duan Zihao very much, and thinks that this young man has ideals and ambitions, and the most important thing is talent!
In Xu Ke's opinion, Duan Zihao in the future will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people, and being able to be his eldest brother can be regarded as "picking up leaks".
The two were in high spirits, and they inevitably poured each other drinks and drank bitterly.
That night, Duan Zihao, who had never been drunk for a thousand cups, was a little drunk, and when he and Xu Ke went back, the two sang Xu Guanwen's "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" theme song all the way-
I'm a migrant worker on the ground
Walking straight through the street is a bad stomach
Warm enough to drive at the end of the month (eat a ghost)
There is no such thing as a whisper
The most disadvantageous ......
This is the great director Xu Ke's favorite song, because in his opinion, no matter when, he is a worker in the film industry, working for his favorite movies for a lifetime! (To be continued)
