Chapter 241. [Characters can also be "stolen"]
In other words, compared to Anne Hathaway's efforts, the other starring Meryl, she filmed almost effortlessly, as if acting was just eating and sleeping for her, and it couldn't be simpler. It is precisely because of her untraceable acting skills that Yi Feiyang sighed that she was right to choose actors, and at the same time tasted the loneliness of being a director.
What is a director?
It's a general who trains actors.
On the set, you can yell at the actors, teach them how to act, how to figure out the script...... But in front of a demonic actor like Meryl, Yi Feiyang didn't have this chance to be handsome at all. On the contrary, when filming a certain scene, Meryl, an old actor, will in turn reprimand Yi Feiyang for writing too badly, or not choosing a good shooting angle...... Meryl's strength made Yi Feiyang, known as a tyrant director, feel extremely depressed and painful.
But in his heart, Yi Feiyang has to admire this Meryl's grasp and control of the role, and the coordination and adaptation of the scene, which are not something that ordinary people can do, even if Yi Feiyang, the director, sometimes really needs to ask her for something.
Yi Feiyang's humility can be regarded as winning Meryl's favor. Especially in terms of directing, Yi Feiyang will take the initiative to negotiate with her, which makes Meryl feel respected, so she gradually accepted this Chinese director from her heart, and began to feel that the 5 million salary to take over the filming of this drama is also worth the money, at least being valued and respected, this feeling cannot be bought by any amount of money.
As mentioned earlier, many big Hollywood directors are very authoritative, even if you are a big-name star, you have to become a little lamb in front of Director Niu Cha. Especially those grumpy directors. It's even more serious. The more you play big. The more other directors will make fun of you...... What to do with surgery? Of course, it's an example of killing chickens and monkeys!
The director is a general, and he wants to lead the whole army, if he can't convince the public, then what is there to talk about in the film industry? Therefore, many stars are afraid of those grumpy directors, Meryl has encountered them before, and has suffered a lot of sulking.
Yi Feiyang's "courtesy" gave Meryl a good feeling. That's why the two will have such a tacit understanding when they work together on the set.
The interaction between Yi Feiyang and Meryl on the set made everyone stunned.
The reason is that Yi Feiyang is a well-known tyrant in the directorial industry, who likes to lose his temper with actors at every turn, and the legend is that he has a fiery temperament and is terrifying.
Meryl, known as a Hollywood drama bully, likes to get carried away when filming, pointing fingers at the crew, so that many people have difficulty getting along with her.
But these two types are different. It was very harmonious to get together, and it seemed to be happy.
Oh my God. We must be dazzled, that's what many people think.
If Meryl and Hathaway don't need much training in this play, as long as they get the script, they can play their roles almost the same, then it is another actress Ivanka Trump who gives Yi Feiyang a headache.
Yi Feiyang overestimated the acting potential of this beautiful girl, and also overvalued her efforts in learning.
That's right, Ivanka is a good student, even their mentor Madonna, the queen of heaven, said so, as a rich daughter but not squeamish, can endure hardships, can endure hardships, and most importantly, can humbly ask for advice...... No matter how bad you act.
In the face of such an actress who is willing to work hard, but has repeatedly NG, Yi Feiyang couldn't cry or laugh, and almost yelled at the sky, God, she wasn't sent down by you to play with me, right?!
Anyway, Ivanka is very serious about acting, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, when interpreting the role, it is always a little bit worse, just like when sewing clothes, one or two buttons will always fall and forget to sew.
"Forget it, remake it! It's nothing more than a waste of film! Yi Feiyang comforted himself, after all, it was the first time for him to act, so he put his messy thoughts out of his mind, gave an encouraging look to Ivanka, who was about to shoot, and then stared at the monitor and shouted loudly: "Action!! ”。
Hearing the order, the field reporter slapped the board in his hand suddenly, and in the eleventh scene of "The Queen Wears Prada", the words of the seventeenth mirror flashed from the lens.
This scene has been filmed ten times!
It's not a complicated scene, Ivanka plays the role of "Emily", the female assistant to the female demon Miranda, this character is positioned to be excellent at work, widely communicated, careful in doing things, and especially wary of newcomers who join the company.
In this scene, Emily sees Antti (played by Hathaway) who comes to apply for a job for the first time in the company, and then the two pass by and exchange a meaningful look.
It can be said that this look is very important and contains a lot of information, for example, the way Antti looks at Emily, the meaning of which is when will I be able to be in a high position like her and become the first female assistant? Emily's eyes are that this new Cinderella is like a pearl wrapped in dirt, although it looks earthy, it can't hide its inner appearance......
After the two exchanged eyes, Antti bumped into Emily's body, the document in Emily's hand fell to the ground, Antti hurriedly apologized and squatted on the ground to pick it up, but Emily stood proudly, looking at Anttie who was bowing down under her, the sharp worried eyes before turned into contempt and self-deprecation, which means that such a girl like a lamb, how can she be her opponent, she just thought a little too much.
Then, the plot is that Antti hands the picked up file back to Emily and keeps apologizing, and Emily should ask her questions in a high-profile manner.
……
“CUT!” Yi Feiyang frowned and said, then yelled: "The facial expression is not right!" It's so stiff! Forget it, take a break! Ivanka, you come here. ”
Ivanka nodded in a panic, ran to Yi Feiyang's side in the crowd of people who were struggling to leave, and lowered her head to prepare for training.
Yi Feiyang is no longer the amiable person with a smile on his face, as soon as the director's role enters, he frowns as if he can never open his brows, supervising anyone like a tyrant.
Perfect, perfect!
These are the words he has been on his lips all day long as he enters the set.
"Ivanka! I think you have to understand! You are now a female assistant under one person in the entire company, and you are no longer a lady! It's not a daughter! Not even facial paralysis! You are haughty. With disdain. With the high posture that I am the queen of the next stop, I came to talk to the newcomer. So your expression and tone of voice, be sure to show these characteristics just right, rather than just tilting your face and it's over! No, you remember, you are an actor, not a machine! I want your real performance, not a template, understand?! "Yi Feiyang's head and face are a lesson. There is no mercy in the words.
What kind of person is Ivanka, she has never been scolded and reprimanded so fiercely since she was a child.
My heart was so sour that I almost burst into tears.
"Don't cry, that's a sign of weakness! Don't make me look down on you, Ivanka! I said you'd be a good actor, but you haven't caught that little bit, yes, that little bit - the soul of the character! When you grab it, you've made it! All right. You go over there and think about it, filming is not so simple. It's not a very fun game either, I think you should understand it by now! Yi Feiyang used both soft and hard, and trained the rich daughter in front of him to cry without tears.
"What a director, I'll think about it again!" Although Ivanka couldn't raise her head when she was scolded, she still seriously recalled what her shortcomings were, and she didn't succeed in filming her first scene 10 times, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it, get some rest and go have a cup of coffee!" Yi Feiyang came and went quickly.
Ivanka came to the dressing room and sat in a chair in despair, looking at herself in the mirror with annoyance, not knowing where to start.
"What's wrong? Still haven't been? Meryl, the old drama bone, put on makeup on the side and turned her head to look at Ivanka.
"Yes, Sister Meryl, why can't I find a feeling? What a damn one! Ivanka held her head and lay on the dressing table, her mind in confusion.
"Hey, dear, I know that every actor has a time when he can't be substituted. It's easy to say that your expression is not right, and you try to relax a little. Meryl comforted Ivanka with kind words.
"I'm supposed to, how am I going to do it?"
Ivanka asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't find an answer.
"Honey, how did you perform just now? Can you show me another one? Meryl and Ivanka have a good relationship, especially Meryl came to New York on Ivanka's plane, and the two also went shopping together and bought more fashionable things. Women are very emotional, and after getting along for so many days, it can be said that deep down, Meryl has regarded this girl as her little sister, and seeing her so troubled, she can't help but care.
"Okay!" Ivanka collected her mind and repeated the performance she had just performed.
"Wait, like, there's something wrong!" Meryl bit her lip and frowned in thought.
"The director said that my appearance was...... It's facial paralysis! Ivanka said helplessly.
"Facial paralysis?! Oh, this Chinese Yi mouth is really poisonous, how can you say that such a beautiful girl is facial paralysis?! Meryl smiled, "Okay, dear Ivanka, forget that guy's hateful words, come, you try it according to my method, how to say it, have you seen Vivien Leigh starring in "Gone with the Wind"? ”
"I've seen it, it's a great drama!"
"That's easy, you try to turn yourself into the heroine of this play, the unforgiving, very individual Hesgaard, and then use her eyes and expressions to say to me what you just said, yes, that's it, try it, my baby!" Meryl patiently guided Ivankado.
What the! Vivien Leigh, Hesgart in Gone with the Wind? Ivanka raised her head suddenly, carefully sketched Hesgaard's expression and eyes, and then said the lines of the characters in the script to Meryl.
"Look, baby, wouldn't it be nice for you to do that?!" Meryl smiled, "The characters are dead, the people are alive, many directors let actors take on the role at every turn, but forget that many actors can't find a template for substitution, and those roles have actually been interpreted in many movies, and now we just take them for our own use, or repackage them." That's actors, actors, it's that simple! ”
Meryl's words made Ivanka stunned, for the first time in her life, she had heard someone say that acting was like this, and it was so substituted...... It turns out that characters can also be "stolen"!
Turning her head, Ivanka looked at herself in the mirror, yes, both her eyes and her expression were almost exactly the same as in the script, God, I felt a knock on the door of acting, yes! That's it!
As if a lightning bolt flashed through her mind, Ivanka quickly stood up, thanked Meryl, and ran out of the dressing room quickly.
And Meryl just looked at Ivanka's hurried back and smiled, and said loudly: "Come on, dear, you must be able to!" ”
"Hey, Director, dear Director Yi! I think I could, yes, I could! Ivanka found Yi Feiyang, who was drinking coffee, put her legs on the table, and looked at the script, shouting in surprise.
"Oh! Are you sure? Yi Feiyang stood up.
"Yes, I think I can!" Ivanka said with a hint of determination on her face.
“OK!” Yi Feiyang picked up the loudspeaker and yelled at everyone: "Everyone is ready!" Let's do it again! ”
Ben, assistant to the director, was originally talking to the young actors on the side, but after hearing it, he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, guys!" It's time to get started! ”
The team was quickly ready, and Yi Feiyang sat behind the monitor with a frown, and when everything was ready to stop, he shouted, "Action!! ”
Ivanka stabilized her mood and quickly found the feeling of "Hesgaard" in "Gone with the Wind", and played a rival scene with Antti played by Anne Hathaway in the venue.
……
"Weird, weird!" Looking at Ivanka, who seemed to be a different person in the camera, Yi Feiyang couldn't help muttering.
Photographer Cindy couldn't help but say: "Yes, her current tone and expression, as well as that look, God, how does it feel so familiar and so unfamiliar, the most important thing is that it is very consistent with your request just now!" ”
"It's because it's too much of a match that I feel weird." Yi Feiyang said.
A set of shots was shot in no time.
Smooth, no jamming, almost in one go!
Perfect!
Yi Feiyang's heart seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, Ivanka's performance was beyond his expectations, she had keenly discovered the characteristics of this role, and finally broke through the previous constraints and rose to another level in performance!
"Beautiful! Pretty! Beautiful!" Yi Feiyang stood up, shouted three beautiful in a row, and gave a thumbs up to Ivanka, who was like a heavy load.
This shooting was a success!! (To be continued......)
