Chapter 277: Details are a character's life
"Mr. ......"
Shao Yingying walked over and said these two words when he saw a person walking out of the store and repairing the door of a shop, at this time, his body was facing the street, and his eyes would keep moving with the flow of people passing by. No, as soon as I said two words to the owner at the door of the store, an extra of the former's child came in front of me.
When he saw these two actors appear, Shao Yingying's eyes were straight, his mouth was slightly open, his hands didn't know where to put them, and a pair of eyes stared at other people's children as if he was enchanted, and even his head was turning with those eyes, and finally even his body turned around, and then he complained and said, "Why...... Not really. β
"Sir, were you talking to me just now?"
The shopkeeper asked, and Shao Yingying came back to his senses from his complaint and said, "Alas, alas. He used all the interjections that Chinese people are accustomed to, in order to prove that he is a first-generation immigrant and not a second-generation: "Boss, have you ever seen a ...... that tall" He used his hand to compare the height of the child who played his son: "Wearing a black top, blue sneakers, with the Adidas logo on it, the head is so big, there is no hat, the eyes are not big in a child, and the collar is a little dirty...... Please help me think about it. β
At this time, Shao Yingying shook his eyes again, followed a child who passed by him, and turned his gaze back when he was sure that it was not.
"Today? What time are you asking? The shopkeeper asked rhetorically.
Shao Yingying said quickly: "From about three o'clock yesterday afternoon to now. β
The shopkeeper thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. I can't help you, I don't have the impression that there are any yellow-skinned children, especially in these two days. β
Hear this. Shao Yingying suddenly raised his voice: "I haven't seen you ask me what time it is, you are stupid!" β
They have always spoken English, only this sentence, Shao Yingying suddenly changed to Chinese.
"What do you say? I didn't get it. β
Shao Yingying no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper, turned around and searched the crowd: "THANK-YOU." β
I have to say that Shao Yingying's Shen Yun grasped the character very accurately, and this is the second day of losing the child in the script. At this time, how much torture the parents had experienced in their hearts, and Shao Yingying could fully understand the phone call between Tong GuΓ² and the old man, so when he saw the first child walking by, he complained, "Why not." At this time, his psychological expectations have been infinitely lowered, and when he asks the owner of the store and still can't get an answer, he will naturally get angry.
By the time this shot is finished, the footage will be cut to the back of the panic, anxiety, and hard work of finding the lost child. And this scene mainly shows that XiΓ n's emotional outburst is after such a long time of searching. Shao Yingying experienced his first psychological breakdown on this street.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a ...... in a black shirt and blue sneakers," he described in detail, for fear of missing any clue and passing by his own child.
At this time, Shao Yingying was facing those ordinary people who were willing to listen to him say a few words, turned their heads and left without listening to a word, and left quickly after kissing a couple of sentences like a lively show, he was playing his own one-man show.
This is a kind of accumulation, and even if the emotions of the little people are amplified, they cannot collapse like generals, heads of state, and chairmen. It's not that people are different, but that the different roles make the table xiΓ n techniques different.
"How?"
Denzel Washington asked, looking at Tom Hanks, who was sitting on the edge of the monitor.
Tom Hanks whispered, "Not bad. It can be seen that the preparation is very good. β
For actors of the level of the two of them, as long as they look at each other's state when acting, they can know whether the other party is prepared enough, an actor who clings to the script is an actor who can never fit the role into the whole society and figure out the character's heart through all aspects of information, for example, playing a businessman, if you only perform according to the lines of the script and the character written in black and white, the charm of the businessman is not easy to perform at all, but if you broaden the perspective and consider what era this is a businessman, Were the businessmen of that era serious in their mouths full of money or simply full of copper stench? Is it the inertia and thrift of relying on the first pot of gold accumulated by saving, or is the opportunity to soar to the true nature of a local tyrant? A character is incomplete without an all-encompassing approach.
"Among the Chinese actors we are familiar with, his acting skills are the most delicate, but should we talk to him?"
After Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks looked at each other, Tom Hanks shouted, "Stop! β
The assistant director looked at Tom Hanks inexplicably and said, "Why? β
Tom Hanks smiled at him, and when the extras all over the street stopped, and when the two walked towards Shao Hero together, all the extras on the street looked at them, this was the highest point in the eyes of the performers, and all eyes were already looking up.
"Shao, I'm sorry to disturb your performance, but we feel like we have something to say to you." Tom Hanks looked at Denzel Washington at this time, and Denzel was surprised to change his gaze between Shao Yingying and Tom Hanks: "Why did I say it?" β
"Okay!"
Denzel Washington tilted his head helplessly and said, "Shao, your performance is very good and delicate, but there are some things that are set up in a problem. β
"Our numerical arrangement method is 0, 1, 2, 3, from less to more, and it is the same in the movie, when the protagonist and the characters in the movie talk for a sentence or two, the audience will begin to look forward to the scene between the protagonist and the character, but this kind of arrangement of scenes cannot be in the position of 0. You have a search state from the moment you enter the camera, and the communication with the store owner is like in the script, and your detailed performance is fine, but your order is 3, 0, 1, 2. If you come over, first find a random temporary performance and ask a question, no matter what kind of reaction the temporary performance gives you. Even if it's just a glance at you, you have this 0, do you understand what I'm saying? Now you're missing that stage from your performance. β
Shao Yingying certainly knows what Denzel Washington is talking about, in fact, what he said is already very detailed, according to his filming method, every scene should be 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 This kind of infinite loop, 3 is the highest point. 0 is the lowest point, and then it can be expanded to 5 or 9, and the upper limit can only be determined by the actor's skills. In such a very formal film. In particular, if no story is in the form of paragraphs, and only Tom Hanks alone intersperses them, the order of the performances will be particularly important.
If you want people to be moved, you have to foreshadow, and with foreshadowing, people will have an increase in emotion. Otherwise, the collapse will appear to be a middle fault. At least it's not as intuitive as it is foreshadowed, and it's impactful.
"It's your turn." Denzel Washington looked at Tom Hanks and said.
Tom Hanks didn't say as meticulously as Denzel Washington, just describing it in a few words: "I know you want to show the difference in visual perception between Eastern and Western parents, but I think they have the same concerns about the loss of their child, and there are two things you can do better in terms of details, first. To reflect your anxiety, you can't walk on the streets looking for the time. If you want to run, when you see a similar child, you must rush to the sharp brake and rush back, thinking that you have seen hope and refuse to give up a little clue; Second, you are looking for a child when we take the play, you are too physical, and the feeling of exertion can only be seen in your facial expressions, but your body will betray you, I think you should go for a jog for a while, run to a state of panting, it will definitely be better than now. β
Shao Yingying has an urge to strangle himself to death, he really wants to strangle himself to death, and after filming for so many years, he still made the lowest mistake in the mouths of the two actors.
What kind of director should you be for this virtue?
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people on the street, Shao Yingying would have wanted to give himself a mouthful, because he felt that after his acting skills improved, he would not have the steadfastness of being able to take off his clothes in the ice and snow that day to play Li Yunlong.
"Thank you!"
After saying these two words, Shao Yingying quickly rushed out and began to run around the closed street.
In fact, Shao Yingying has been fully prepared, even if the things he played just now can be passed even in the eyes of Wang Jiawei, who is the most critical of acting, he has added all the details he can think of, but this is it, there are still flaws in the eyes of the two actors, even if the things that these two actors said are the most superficial, but it also proves that people consider the overall situation, the overall situation in performance, not only the understanding and definition of the role.
When he got tired, Shao Yingying stopped, and he walked back into the street again and forced an 'OK' gesture at Tom Hanks, when the other party shouted as a director: "Start." β
Shao Yingying ran from the street corner and took him into the block.
"Excuse me......"
"Have you ever seen a child, probably so tall......"
He asked two pedestrians who were hurrying past him in succession, and carefully distinguish when there were children passing by on the street, and then he ran to the boss shop pΓΉ who had played a rival scene before.
It is estimated that in the entire Hollywood street closure filming scenes, only "Dear" puts so many children on the street as temporary performances, and in Hollywood, the cost of children is higher than that of ordinary temporary performances.
"Mr. ......"
Shao Yingying continued to move forward after performing this rivalry in the way he had just done, and did not express what Tom Hanks said about being out of breath, it was just a description, not to make Shao Yingying gasp even when he spoke. But this time Shao Yingying himself can feel that the authenticity has improved, at least when he stopped, he had the process of swallowing and smearing to moisten his throat, and even when he was talking to the shopkeeper, he had a sense of relaxation that he could finally take a break.
"Have you ever seen a child?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Can I delay you a little?"
Shao Yingying walked around the street for tens of meters, and two fixed cameras and one camera were always watching him, which was a slight long shot in the history of film, but after this long lens was switched and edited by three cameras, the things shot could be directly forced in front of the audience.
"Little Bunny...... Where the hell have you been. β
Shao Yingying stood on the street and suddenly stood and lowered his head, he didn't cry, and told the strongest thoughts in the lowest voice. The bitterness in the words, the hard work that drooped between the eyebrows and eyes, all seemed so intense, this is a Chinese father who can be recognized by a Chinese at a glance.
"I haven't done your laundry yet......"
He slowly crouched down, not against the wall, but in the middle of the road for fear of missing any of the children passing by.
At this time, the flow of people began to look down at Shao Yingying as they bypassed him, as if looking at a monster.
"Click!"
"Excellent! Extraordinary performance! β
Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington directly opened their mouths across the street, the first sentence was shouted by Tom Hanks, and the second sentence was Denzel Washington, black people always exaggerated a little.
This time, when the two of them came from the other side of the street, Shao Yingying stood up and said, "I'm not as good as you say, but now I finally understand how to be a 'good actor'." β
"You're wrong, we're telling you how to become the 'best actor' in Hollywood, and I think you should treat us to a drink." For the first time, Denzel Washington joked with Shao Yingying.
Tom Hanks chimed in: "Thankfully, you're not talking about 'great actors.'" β
The assistant director looked at the monitor in shock, and the picture shot this time gave him a new understanding of Tom Hanks, who used to think that the gap between some top actors was a matter of luck and unluck, but now, he thinks that the gap between top actors is the details, and in the details, you can see where the value of top actors is.
When Shao Yingying chatted with Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks, the two actors talked about a question that he had always been concerned about, which was the topic opened by Denzel Washington: "Tom, how long do you think it will take for Shao to appear at the Oscars?" β
"If you're talking about being shortlisted, I think there's definitely hope in two years, and if you win, I think it's going to take at least five years or more, after all, there's too much luck in the Oscars, and it's not an award that you think can be manipulated, although there's room for manipulation."
Shao Yingying has always thought about why he rarely won awards after acting in so many plays, after Wang Jiawei, he understood that he took everything seriously, and today after experiencing two Oscar winners, he thoroughly understands a truth, details are the life of a character!
