"Click!" The director frowned and waved his hand, "Xiao Qin, the mood is still not right, they are barbarians, you are a modern person, you can't have the same expression as others." One more! ”

"Saving the Ancestors" set, 17 scenes, 4 times.

It's an action scene, and it's the highlight of the whole movie, and after three cuts, the atmosphere on the scene begins to become subtle, and although the director doesn't say anything, everyone's expressions have begun to become serious.

"Touch-up, props check," the assistant director quietly pulled Qin Feng over and said, "Aren't you more familiar with Teacher Wu, go talk to him." ”

Qin Feng glanced at Wu Xiaoqing, who was lying on a chair next to the director and was thinking quietly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

The entire crew now knows that this unattractive Wu Xiaoqing is a real genius. Genius doesn't mean that he came to make movies at a young age, or sold scripts - genius is that he can do things that no one else can do under everyone's noses.

During the whole filming process, Wu Xiaoqing should have done the least and came for the shortest time, but in private conversations, everyone acquiesced in their hearts that this person was the one who knew the most about the entire filming process and was also the one who could solve the problem the most.

Now every time before filming, the director will take a look at Wu Xiaoqing, and only when he nods his head will it start. Everyone said that now Wu Xiaoqing is the secret assistant director of the entire group.

In a group play of hundreds of people, which person's face makeup does not meet the requirements, Wu Xiaoqing can point it out without leaking.

In a fight scene, who is secretly paddling in the back, whose movements are obviously out of the picture, and there are elements of goofs in the camera, Wu Xiaoqing can see it at a glance.

As for the scene arrangement and shot arrangement, these tasks are things that Wu Xiaoqing, a consultant, needs to consider, and he naturally does everything - the reasons he gives are always satisfactory to the director.

Qin Feng went to brew a cup of hot chocolate that Wu Xiaoqing had always liked to drink, and brought it to him.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't seem to see him, still lowering his head, thinking about something about the script in front of him.

Qin Feng cautiously asked, "Teacher Wu, can I disturb you for a while?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to have a little reaction, he first unplugged the headphones in his left ear, then raised his head, looked at the drink in front of him, and glanced at the person who came, before he said: "Oh, thank you, what's the matter." ”

"No...... Mr. Wu, that's right, the director just mentioned the problem of emotions......"

Because the volcano erupted again last night, Wu Xiaoqing stayed up all night, and when he came over today, he actually dozed off in the crew for most of the time. After getting familiar with the "work" of the crew, Wu Xiaoqing has fully understood that he came over just to put on a show, as long as he said a few words to the subtitles in the middle, his task could be completed. Although the whole crew is busy, his job is just a few words before the start of filming.

The actor's quest for advice seems to be an unexpected part of his work. Strictly speaking, the actor is asking questions about acting, which is naturally not within the scope of his work as a consultant, and all the content related to acting is the responsibility of the director.

Two rows of side-by-side subtitles appeared on the glasses, which were 1: "For this question, I suggest you still ask Director Chen's opinion." ”

And 2: "I think it's because you don't understand the character well enough......"

Wu Xiaoqing chose 2. After all, this actor is playing himself, and he still has some interest in this topic.

"I've watched your first few performances, and it's too much about the fear of a modern person, of course, when a modern person goes to the battlefield for the first time and sees so many crocodiles, fear naturally exists. But it shouldn't be the first, because Wu Xiaoqing is not a soldier charging at the front, his position is at the rear of the line, he is a commander - and he still has weapons from modern times, so he will be afraid, but more curious. Everyone else would be afraid, but Wu Xiaoqing would not. The whole perspective of this scene should be viewed from the perspective of primitive people - this is also the most dramatic part of the whole time-traveling play. Who is Wu Xiaoqing in the eyes of primitive people? Is it the god who saves the world, and their god will be afraid? You should show more of this divinity, you have to have a condescending disdain, like you see a crocodile in a zoo - would you be afraid of a crocodile in a cage? In front of the crossbow, these crocodiles are actually no different from those in cages, and they will definitely fail. ”

Qin Feng pondered Wu Xiaoqing's words hard, but it was difficult to translate this kind of theoretical thing into a performance.

"In this way," Wu Xiaoqing walked to the set that was being prepared, turned back to the director and said, "Director Chen, I'll give him a demonstration." ”

Wu Xiaoqing picked up the prop pistol and stood in the middle of the scene—there was an empty area in front of him, with only some green puppets as imaginary crocodiles—these puppets were prepared for later positioning.

There are two parts of the real crocodile war, namely the unilateral slaughter of crocodiles by Wu Xiaoqing's Youjin tribe with the help of modern crossbows, and the bloody battle between the Youzhou tribe and crocodiles. Because of the length and plot of the movie, the content of these two parts was integrated into a scene - in this scene, the bow and crossbow team led by Wu Xiaoqing is long-range support, and there are soldiers in close combat in front of it.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoqing in the play is not Wu Xiaoqing in the original real environment, but out of the needs of the plot, to that extent, a little rascal is moved by the cause of saving the world and becomes a hero.

Coincidentally, the current Wu Xiaoqing is no longer the original Wu Xiaoqing, after the second rescue mission, to a certain extent, he is very close to the character in the script.

So the search and rescue team thought he could go up and try it.

The moment Wu Xiaoqing picked up the pistol, everyone felt the aura emanating from him. He didn't make any expression on his face, but everyone at the scene suddenly felt that the man in front of him, he was holding a real pistol in his hand, and he would shoot at any target in front of him at any time as long as he wanted to.

"Aim! Aim for their belly! Wu Xiaoqing shouted loudly.

"Shoot!" Wu Xiaoqing began to walk forward. There was not a single extras around him, but he gestured as if he were surrounded by soldiers who were ready to listen to his command, and he could even turn around and stare at the air with his eyes - the position of the soldiers in the script, and continue to read the line: "Don't panic, slow down, be consistent!" ”

As far as reading lines is concerned, Wu Xiaoqing's skills can be said to kill these so-called professional actors. Because professional actors study acting skills again, whether they are experiential or methodical, they are essentially acting. But Wu Xiaoqing is different, his acting skills can be said to have completely jumped out of the traditional rut, and he has stepped out of his own genre in a unique way - he is realistic.

For Wu Xiaoqing, whether it is in front of the crew's camera now, or in front of all the indigenous people before, his "work" belongs to reading lines. But unlike pure acting, the situations he faces are almost entirely real, and the actor relies on reciting lines to complete the performance, and he needs to rely on the reciting of the lines to achieve the real command or conversation effect - there is no director who shouts at him at any time in the war. Wearing a pair of glasses for a long time, he accepts the temporary guidance of the "director" of the search and rescue team all the time, and remembers his performance identity and responsibilities anytime and anywhere, whether it is a knight, a general, a magic stick or a god...... has been invested in a role for a long time, so that Wu Xiaoqing has been able to simulate the temperament and charm that an identity should have very smoothly and naturally.

No, it can't be said to be a simulation, because of each of them, Wu Xiaoqing has personally experienced all the details of them, how a knight rides a horse, how a general commands, how a divine stick persuades, and how a divine envoy accepts worship...... Other actors are trying to get closer to the role itself after accepting the setting of the role, but here in Wu Xiaoqing, he has perfectly integrated with the role.

Just like now, even if Wu Xiaoqing in the script is completely different from Wu Xiaoqing who actually executes the rescue, the director has to admit that Wu Xiaoqing's interpretation made him see the true charm of this role. When Wu Xiaoqing walked back to the small bench that belonged to him and continued to "think" about the script, everyone in the crew began to applaud sincerely.

"Brother Wu," Chen Ming patted Wu Xiaoqing's thigh and said, "If you had told me earlier that you would have performed, I would have let you play this role...... What a pity, what a pity! ”

If it weren't for the fact that the movie had already been filmed for a third of the time, Director Chen would now even have the mind to start filming again.

As for the actor Qin Feng who received the "guidance", he had already said 10,000 MMPs in his heart at the moment. He asked Wu Xiaoqing to guide, and his original intention was just to let Wu Xiaoqing provide some help - including persuading the director to accept his current performance state, or teaching him some small movements, or some small details - Wu Xiaoqing can naturally complete the persuasion of the director through these small details. For example, the current Qin Feng is like a blind date beauty with flaws on her face, facing a picky blind date (director), she wants to borrow some cosmetics from Wu Xiaoqing, hoping to cover up the flaws.

But Wu Xiaoqing's hand is tantamount to suddenly tearing off the mask on his face and telling the blind date on the opposite side - it's okay to be as beautiful as her. Then the director took a look, and the original beauty couldn't be seen, the flaws that weren't obvious were originally awkward, but now they look awkward.

But this has nothing to do with Wu Xiaoqing. Even if this scene clicked more than twenty times in a row, Wu Xiaoqing didn't say a word to help that poor Qin Feng. By the end of the day, this one had not been passed, and Qin Feng was already so aggrieved that he almost cried - Wu Xiaoqing's performance was equivalent to erecting an insurmountable obstacle for him.
