Chapter 672: If you can't go to the heart, go to the kidneys first
The time is at the end of July, and in a few days, Li Xiangping will go to Japan again to compete with Gu Dali for the first world championship of the year.
"Card~~~!"
On a certain set in Hengdian, Director Qiu stared at the monitor for a while, and then he frowned and suddenly shouted to stop:
"Xiangping, you can't act this part, in place! Your feelings are not in place....."
Seeing that his performance was interrupted by the director again, Li Xiangping also frowned slightly, this scene is the fifth time he has been called by the director today, and he doesn't know what's going on, anyway, since he came back from Japan, the number of times he has been called card has increased significantly, not only far more than the first half a month, but also Zhao Daokai.
Since the filming of this drama, Zhao Daokai seems to be like a fish in water, and his performance has become more and more handy, and now he is rarely called, and quite a lot of shots are actually passed at one time.
Well, Li Xiangping is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, don't look at the praise he hears a lot now, but a rookie is a rookie, and if he didn't have a performance foundation before, he didn't have a performance foundation, so to tell the truth, he was also mentally prepared for his performances to be called cards.
However, who let Zhao Daokai also be there?
If it is with those old actors, of course it doesn't matter if Li Xiangping is called card, if it is with Brother Chao, Li Xiangping is called card, he also feels normal, but Zhao Daokai is also a rookie with himself, and his performance is even better than himself, which makes Li Xiangping a little unbearable, and it also arouses his competitiveness.
"I'm sorry for this ....., director, and all of you, it's a waste of everyone's time." ------
Today is a group play, in addition to Li Xiangping, there is also the heroine Yaya, there are several other supporting roles, and there are even many group performances, to say that although Li Xiangping was called depressed, he is also a celebrity now, and he knows how to cherish his feathers, so after coming back to his senses, he still maintained a basic demeanor and took the initiative to apologize to the people around him.
It may be that seeing Li Xiangping at a loss, Director Qiu was also a little unbearable, he looked at his watch, and said in a gentle tone:
"Okay, let's be here today, everyone call it a day, Xiangping, I think you still have to find a feeling, you've been acting very well before, why can't you get to this stage? Look for it, you have to find that feeling, let's come back tomorrow, okay? .....That's right, who else is that, Yaya, you also have to help, help Xiangping find a feeling. ”
Yaya nodded with a smile, but Li Xiangping looked blank, he nodded blankly, and then Mu Ran went to remove his makeup and changed out of the stuffy ancient costume he was wearing.
Li Xiangping left first, but Director Qiu led everyone to pack up the props, but when they were packing up the props, Pu Cunxin and Wu Gang and several other old actors did not leave, they chatted there without a match.
Lao Pu glanced at the director, and then said with a smile:
"Hey, I said Director Qiu, are you asking too much? Just this performance just now, in fact, I look okay, why can't I get over to you? ”
Director Qiu showed an inexplicable smile, a bit like a wry smile, but if you look closely, it's not:
"Lao Pu, I'm not afraid to be honest with you, in fact, before the official start of filming, I didn't have high expectations for a few young people, such as Li Xiangping, if he performed like this today from the beginning, then I would definitely have passed, because this has met my initial expectations."
"Oh?"
Lao Pu became a little interested: "Listening to the director's meaning, Li Xiangping's performance has exceeded your expectations, so now, your requirements for him have also increased a lot, is that what you mean?" ”
Director Qiu nodded with a smile: "Actually, it's not just him, another young man, that is, Mr. Zhao's son, his performance is even more than I expected, you look at them, when these two young people are playing against you, most of the time they don't fall behind, how can this make me not think more?" Wish they could be a little more perfect? ”
Hearing the director praise the two young people, the two old actors present nodded sympathetically, Pu Cunxin said with emotion: "Yes, yes, if you want to say that Wang Lao is powerful, why did he fall in love with these two demons at a glance?" Director Qiu, you're polite, where is the person who doesn't fall behind, I feel that I can't do it, just take the scene last week, yes, it's the scene between me and Li Xiangping, I almost didn't follow, the performance of others is so good, so good that I have a feeling of being crushed. ”
"It's normal for you to be crushed,"
"Secretary Dakang" on the side smiled and continued: "Although your Lao Pu's acting skills are good, no matter how good your acting skills are, you are also playing a Go master, but Li Xiangping is different, he is a real master, a master of chess saint level, so he plays Shi Xiangxia, who is the real true color of the star, in fact, I want to compare with him, the other Zhao Daokai is more impressive to me, he is not a Go master, but his free and easy energy and relaxation, I feel that he really played Fan Xiping alive, It's amazing, Zhao Daokai is terrible, these two young people are terrible. ”
Hearing the emotion of the two old actors, Director Qiu smiled:
"Yes, you have also seen the extraordinaryness of these two leading actors, then of course I want to raise the standard, but I'm just a little strange now, the scene just now is obviously very simple, it's just an ordinary emotional drama, why can't Li Xiangping act anymore......"
At this time, Lao Pu interrupted Director Qiu's words:
"Huh? Director Qiu, wait a minute, when I was watching just now, I didn't see any problems, whether it was Li Xiangping's lines or his position, it should be very good, what else do you think is wrong? ”
"Lao Pu, you are engaged in stage plays, and stage plays are still slightly different from film and television dramas."
Director Qiu paused and smiled: "That's it, you can also take a look at the replay just now, especially a few close-ups of Li Xiangping, you should know why I'm not satisfied." ”
Next, Director Qiu really asked the staff next to him to pause the cleaning up, so that the two old actors could watch the replay just now. Well, this is a scene between Shi Xiangxia and Xiuqin, that is, the rivalry between Li Xiangping and Yaya, according to the plot design, this should be the third or fourth time the two have met, Shi Xiangxia has made the name of the ninth son has ended, and Xiuqin is asking the old Shi to let the eleventh son and her next game.
So a few old guys watched the playback with great interest, and when they saw a close-up shot of Li Xiangping, Pu Cunxin smiled:
"It's on! ,I can see it now.,It turns out that the problem is here.,According to the progress of the plot.,The two should be secretly in love now, right? should show a certain amount of affection for concubines, well, Yaya is still quite in place, as for this Li Xiangping...... Haha, what kind of expression does he have? No, no, no wonder Director Qiu can't say it properly. ”
Hearing Lao Pu smile like this, the other two old guys also laughed, as for what was wrong, of course Li Xiangping himself couldn't say it, but in the eyes of several old guys, Li Xiangping's close-up just now was too strange, not to mention "Lang Qing concubine", no feelings could be conveyed at all, which made the whole shot look quite inconsistent.
"Secretary Dakang" can be seen now, this is just a TV series, not a movie, in fact, it is not impossible to lower the standard, for example, this close-up shot just now, it is a big deal not to use it, or simply highlight the heroine, but who made the director of this drama have a big heart, at this time he is still thinking about what to keep improving, since this is the case, then this shot really needs to be reshot.
Wu Gang thought for a while, and then said to Director Qiu:
"But Director Qiu, Xiangping is not a professional actor after all, he can play chess players in his true colors, and he will definitely not be able to act in this kind of play, and it can be seen from this shot that he doesn't seem to be calling this heroine, if he can't find the feeling, what are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do about that?"
Director Qiu smiled: "If you can't find it, let him continue to look for it, you have also seen it, the pre-shooting is very smooth, and the current progress is a week ahead of the original plan, so I think so now, just be willful once, give him a week's time, if he can find the right feeling in a week, then of course it is the best, if you really can't find it, you can only lower your requirements, now I am afraid of delaying your business, I hope to get your support." ”
"No delay, no delay, no delay......"
Hearing that the director suddenly lowered his posture, the two hurriedly said that it didn't matter, not only said that it didn't matter, but also praised the director's attitude of striving for perfection, and said that the two of them would fully support Yunyun at one point.
A few old guys blow each other's business, of course Li Xiangping doesn't know, he only knows that from the next day, the whole crew seems to be more energetic than that scene, and they don't hesitate to card dozens of times a day, not only that, but other people seem to be particularly interested in this scene, originally this plot, there is nothing to do with Xu Xingyou and Liang Weijin, but Lao Pu and "Secretary Dakang" are on the set every day, as if they came to see him make a fool of themselves.
The next day, Li Xiangping heard a little rumor and knew that the reason why Director Qiu was dissatisfied was that he didn't call Yaya and didn't perform the feeling of being a concubine.
On the third day, it seemed that even Yaya herself heard a little rumor, and when Li Xiangping got along with her, she obviously felt that she was unnatural.
Li Xiangping could only smile bitterly at this.
He said in his heart that his buddy was just a gentleman in his previous life, although he had lived nearly 40 years old in his two lives combined, and he often picked up girls in his previous life, but he was a fool of girls, everyone understands, basically only go to the kidneys and not to the heart, as for the "feelings" of the gods, this thing is like a luxury for the gentleman.
On the fourth day, Li Xiangping said the lines all day, and his mouth was dry, and the scene had not yet passed.
Li Xiangping sighed in his heart, he felt that he couldn't continue like this, because three days later, it was the day of the "Fujitsu Cup" finals, and he felt that if he was stumped by filming, he might leave a psychological shadow on himself, which was not conducive to his future practice.
That night, after washing off his stinky sweat, Li Xiangping thought about it, and then he got up and knocked on another room in the hotel.
It was Yaya who opened the door:
"Hey, Xiangping, what's the matter?"
Li Xiangping smiled: "This ..... girl, can you accompany me out for a walk." ”
