Chapter 147: What is an actor?
Li Da said here, and Lu Nan over there nodded, and he didn't know if he really understood.
Meng Hanyan on the side couldn't help but open her mouth, Li Da said that even she couldn't do these requirements, how could Lu Nan, a novice without any experience, do it.
Others also think that Li Da's requirements are a bit too harsh, after all, Lu Nan is just a novice actor, and ambivalence is the most difficult to express, not to mention showing so many contradictions.
The most difficult thing is that there are no lines in the first half, and there are no violent body movements and large ups and downs of emotional changes. Some actors can show contradictory emotions by laughing with bitterness and tears in laughter, and some can express their psychological state by throwing things or beating their chests, but Lu Nan's scene is only walking!
To show these subtle contradictions and psychological entanglements when walking, even those actors may not be able to do so.
In fact, Li Da didn't have too many expectations, he just described the effect he wanted to achieve to Lu Nan as much as possible, and it was up to him how much he could do.
After Li Da finished speaking, Lu Nan asked with a relaxed face: "Is that all?" ”
Meng Hanyan's eyes were about to turn to the sky, can this guy be reliable.
Is that all there is to it? If you can perform a tenth of the feel, even if I lose.
Meng Hanyan's barrage in his brain was about to fry, and he said in his heart, as a senior, he would have to teach this guy how to act.
Li Da nodded and said: "That's all, you do your best to act, let's try a few more times and strive to achieve the best results." ”
Peng Jin, who was standing in the studio, sneered on his face, although he didn't study movies, he knew a little bit about Li Da's side, and Li Da's requirements were that those old drama bones might not be able to do it.
Lu Nan, an inexperienced novice, may not even be able to do the most basic fluency, let alone act in such a difficult inner drama.
Anyway, it's just the first act, as long as he is sure that Lu Nan has no acting ability, he can ask the director for a replacement.
The previous candidates all disappeared one by one at the most critical moment, and it was absolutely impossible to use them again with Li Da's temper. It's definitely too late to find a new actor now, his cousin's image is not bad, and there is still a lot of hope for his recommendation.
The first act begins.
The sun was hidden in the clouds, and the sky was a little dark, which was perfect for this scene.
There weren't many people on the streets, with a few small vendors selling their stalls feebly, and from time to time one or two pedestrians in old suits or gray cloth kaftans would pass by, and occasionally a fancy black sedan would drive slowly down the street, creating a sense of the times of the thirties.
Li Da shouted with a loudspeaker: "The cousin who will be waiting to enter the camera from the right rear side, the movement must be natural, don't be stiff, your back is very important." ”
Lu Nan made an OK gesture to show that he understood.
The scene reporter blocked a black and white clapperboard in front of the camera and shouted, "Action"
Lu Nan took the black coat handed by the costaster, put it on his shoulders casually, and walked down the dark and gloomy street.
I have to admit that Lu Nan, who was filming for the first time, was still quite nervous, especially when so many pairs of eyes were staring, he rarely felt a little restrained.
As soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by the director.
Li Da held a small horn and shouted: "Cousin, what are you doing, don't be so stiff in your movements, walk in a straight line, don't turn back and forth." ”
Lu Nan scratched his head, laughed dryly twice to ease the embarrassment, and then continued.
Peng Jin sneered and began to blow wind in the assistant director's ear.
"I don't even understand the most basic common sense, and newcomers are really newcomers."
NG several times in a row, either Lu Nan's feeling is not in place, or the light and shadow are not suitable.
The weather in July is already starting to show the power of summer, and everyone is starting to sweat and feel irritable. If it goes on like this, don't say you don't have to eat lunch, and you probably have to eat dinner as a supper.
Peng Jin has already begun to brew language, and will ask for a change of director later.
Finally, the sun ducked into the clouds again.
"Ready, action!"
Lu Nan put his coat on his shoulders, the black coat and the white shirt formed a sharp contrast, and every movement of his back could be expressed through the lines that could only be seen in black and white.
At that moment, a scarred stray dog came out of nowhere, ran to a corner of the street and lay down, sticking out his tongue and licking the wounds on his body.
Seeing the stray dog, Lu Nan's thoughts suddenly returned to the day when he packed his bags and left home to go to college.
Rhubarb drove him all the way to the highway and then chased the bus for more than a dozen miles, leaving a row of bloody footprints on the ground.
At that time, he was wondering if Rhubarb would not find his way home and become a stray dog if he kept following.
Sitting on the train to the upper city, he was worried that his grandfather would have no one to take care of him after he left, and he was both yearning and afraid of the metropolis.
On the first day of school, he was ostracized by other classmates, and he was ridiculed by his classmates in the first physical education class, and the head teacher specially approved him not to have physical education classes in the future.
Lu Nan recalled these pasts as he walked, and the loneliness, struggle, and loneliness in his back were undoubtedly revealed.
Unconsciously, Lu Nan walked to the stray dog.
He stopped and squatted down, reached out and rubbed the head of a stray dog, just as he rubbed the head of a rhubarb at home.
The camera zooms in, leaving the space to Lu Nan and the stray dog without hesitation.
There is no such paragraph in the script, the assistant director next to him was just about to speak, Li Da suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it, and then made a silent movement, but his eyes never left Lu Nan.
The stray dog did not resist, and looked at Lu Nan with dark eyes, which seemed to be distressed, relieved and helpless.
The stray dog's head rubbed against Lu Nan's palm, then raised his head and licked Lu Nan's palm with his tongue, as if to comfort Lu Nan.
When the people around saw this scene, tears were about to flow, and they felt a little distressed at the same time.
The director, assistant director and producer on the scene were already crying with excitement, and there were dozens of movies they had participated in in the production of in their lives, but it was the first time they had seen such a natural and expressive performance.
Compared with Lu Nan, the performances of those current actors are like the difference between children's stick figures and Van Gogh's abstract paintings.
As if receiving the encouragement in the eyes of the stray dog, the corners of Lu Nan's mouth rose slightly, but he could not hide the sadness in his heart, and his smile was bitter.
