Chapter 113: The Problem (II)
"Looking at the current progress, it may take another half a month. No, it is said that there is a discount for repeat customers, we went out for a walk that day and then came back to rebook. "The producer made a joke after looking at the schedule.
Everyone in the pantry laughed.
Director Tian knew that the producer was reminding him that the filming progress was a little slow now, but he was also slow to get used to it, and the producer's complaints couldn't be taken to heart by him, "It's slow now because the actors are polishing, and when they get to the back, they will get faster." β
"Are you sure?"
ββ¦β¦ Hahahaha. Director Tian pretended to listen to a very funny joke, and laughed like he couldn't stop laughing if he didn't go out and walk around twice to calm down.
"Don't go." The producer pulled Director Tian back.
Director Tian sat back in his seat, and Baba had to smoke a cigarette. He wasn't sure if he could catch up with the later progress.
The assistant director, screenwriter, and photographer here all understand that a large part of the reason why the crew is delaying the progress is Guan Chen. Because Director Tian asked Guan Chen to come back over and over again. It's a shame that we don't use film to make movies now, otherwise we would have to pay an extra fee.
"Xiaoguan is actually quite good." The producer also understands, so he vaguely reminded Director Tian that it's almost right, not every actor is suitable for your set.
Repeat it over and over again. In the past, Director Tian's trick was not used on other actors, but it was repeated twenty or thirty times, so that it would not be like grinding Guan Chen, grinding and grinding all day long. To tell the truth, grinding to this extent, they can't figure out what Director Tian wants. Because from their point of view, Guan Chen's performance is actually not a problem, and it can even be said to be quite good.
In the martial arts part, Guan Chen's skills are impeccable, not only serving as an ordnance consultant, but also participating in a lot of action design, such as power-off and then attacking, such as laying bricks outside the window to prevent people from escaping, which really makes the role more vivid and convincing.
As for the part of the literary drama, Guan Chen's performance is also not bad.
His eyes that were born uneducated, especially the feeling of a blank piece of paper after the killer Ding Wu lost his memory, are like a child, innocent and distressing, but also faintly frightening, because the cruelty of children does not distinguish between good and evil, just for novelty, you don't know when he will strangle another life.
The scene filmed during the day today is that the killer Ding Wutou was seriously injured and woke up in the hospital, facing a completely strange world and knowing nothing.
The location of the filming was the hospital. The hospital where the filming was filmed was sponsored, and deliberately gave up time and space for the crew to shoot.
The patients on the set are actually doctors and nurses on the job to experience filmmaking.
They felt that making movies was novel, and Guan Chen was also curious about them.
Before the filming started, Guan Chen pulled those doctors and kept asking questions, "What if a patient wants to cut a doctor?" "If the leaders deduct the bonuses of doctors or nurses, will the nurses' associations and doctors' associations really stand up for justice?" "Is your dean the most skilled doctor? ββ¦β¦ All this, the question is very detailed, very basic, very similar to Ding Wu, as if he really doesn't know anything.
It's early onboarding.
When it was time to shoot, everyone thought that Guan Chen would play the killer Ding Wu and play a stunned person, but in fact he didn't. Guan Chen said that the killer has instinct, "If the consciousness of everything precedes the body, then I would have been hacked to death." Instinct, he explained, is something you do without realizing it. It's like an ordinary person wakes up and touches his phone first, and a killer has to touch his weapon first when he wakes up. β
Everyone doesn't know why ordinary people touch their phones first when they wake up, but they understand what Guan Chen wants to express. Instinct.
The killer Ding Wu played by Guan Chen, after being approached by the nurse, first grabbed the nurse's wrist, and then touched his waist with the other hand, touched the air, and was slapped by the frightened nurse before sitting on the bed obediently. His ears listened to the doctor's report, but his eyes repeatedly looked at the clothes of the doctors and nurses, the hospital on a plastic bag not far away, and the names in the bedside medical records. It is also instinctive to gather information and confirm the environment in which we live.
just watched it once, and the core creators of the crew suddenly understood that they had found the right actor this time.
The role and the actor fit, which is the success of the casting. Cinema is a thing that focuses on hue, and a suitable actor can pull the audience into the world of the screen as quickly as possible, and make the audience forgive the other flaws of the film. Guan Chen's performance is not like a novice at all, he is natural, and there is no trace of "acting". It's as if he was originally a person in the world of Destiny Keys.
But just like that, Director Tian still felt dissatisfied and didn't give it, and the progress was stuck there.
That is, based on the friendship that came out of past cooperation, trust in Director Tian, and the need to maintain the authority of the director on the set, everyone in the pantry did not refute in public, nor did they think that the problem was not Guan Chen, but Director Tian.
"Okay, okay." In the face of the wavering of the team and the urging of his superiors, Director Tian finally decided to say the reason why he did it, "The feeling of being naΓ―ve, blank slate, and acting instinctively is indeed good." But a child is just a child after all, not an adult who realizes that I have amnesia. β
Tian Dao believes that adults have worries, to take care of their own lives, self-sufficient, in the face of the strange life, should be at a loss, at a loss, no one can help, do not know where to go next.
He tortured Guan Chen, in fact, he wanted Guan Chen to unconsciously perform the feeling of dazed and anxious. Why don't you say it, because this is the same as the previous action scenes of villa killing until Guan Chen was tired over and over again, it is not effective to say it, so I hid it from Guan Chen and prepared to reshape Guan Chen on the set.
"That's too ruthless."
"How did I know he could carry ...... so much," Tian Dao sighed.
In his plan, he called for Guan Chen's performance to be stopped over and over again, and did not specifically point out where the performance problem was, so that Guan Chen could figure it out for himself. The purpose is to make Guan Chen gradually lose his self-confidence, lose his performance intention, and lose his performance direction, and when he doesn't know what to play and whether he is acting correctly, a sense of dazedness and a faint sense of anxiety will come out.
However, Guan Chen's self-confidence is as stubborn and difficult as his physical strength.
Director Tian used the method of training actors in the eagle style, and he planted his heels for the first time.
The actors who have worked with them before, in the face of repeated attempts again and again, and the director's silence without saying a word, will gradually doubt themselves, and even break down in serious cases, hide and cry, deny their acting skills, and never want to return to the set again. Among them, there are even more acting injuries, even if they win the award, they still don't want to touch the actors who perform for several years.
Guan Chen is very different.
Director Tian has never seen such a difficult actor.
No matter how many times Director Tian shouted, Guan Chen could perform unwaveringly every time, without a trace of self-doubt. As if to say, unless he comes up with a reason to convince him, he will continue to act in his own way.
Guan Chen's mentality is very good, but Director Tian's mentality is about to collapse. Several times he deliberately sighed loudly, and the entire crew could almost hear the disappointment, but Guan Chen didn't, Guan Chen thought that he stopped because of someone else's fault, such as the folds on the clothes of a group performer, such as the monitoring in a corner that was not lit. And Guan Chen also enthusiastically helped to clean up the set together to boost morale, completely unaware that he was the main reason. Tian Dao really hasn't seen this way.
Now the mood is very complicated.
The producer patted Director Tian on the shoulder, feeling that the other party was also quite pitiful, "Then what should I do?" Keep boiling? β
Director Tian sighed and said, "This method doesn't work, so I can only change it." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside the window, on the ground floor of the hostel.
Guan Chen put away his headphones, nodded clearly, and said confidently: "Isn't it just dazed and anxious, simple." β
The next day, on the set.
Director Tian was desperate to find that Guan Chen's acting skills suddenly went wrong.
