Chapter 214: Teacher Xiao Xu
Qi Kui turned his head to look at Xu Zhen, his face numb.
If the person who said this just now was Shen Danqing, he still felt that there was hope.
But Xu Zhen ......
He admits that Xu Zhen's acting skills are indeed good, but how can he, a 20-year-old young man, have the ability to teach others to act?
This clip they performed is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say that it is simple.
The four of them are on the same stage, the contradictions and conflicts are intricate, and the relationship between the characters may not be understood in 40 minutes.
Shen Danqing took them all to rehearse for 10 hours just now, and now there is still more than half an hour before the last full play, how can I have time to rehearse a play?
In case the row is not good, it may even be better to just bite the bullet and go straight to it!
Qi Kui opened his mouth, and only after a while did he say, "I want to tune, but ......"
Halfway through his speech, he couldn't go on, and his expression was extremely depressed.
Ding Xuesong's thoughts at this time were actually similar to Qi Kui's, but he was hindered by the presence of cameras in the rehearsal room, so he had to say with a passionate face: "How are you going to adjust it?" Let's take a moment to discuss! ”
Xu Zhen ignored him, but first picked up the pillow from the sofa, unzipped it, and put the unmanned camera lens in the rehearsal room up.
Ding Xuesong was stunned when he saw this, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xu Zhen said: "This section is pinched. ”
Ding Xuesong: "......"
Okay, bullying unmanned cameras is indeed a reserved item in variety shows, but what can't we shoot when we adjust the script?
Are you afraid that you will get away with it, and you will think about annihilating the evidence in advance??
Of course, Xu Zhen didn't want to annihilate the evidence of the crime.
On the contrary, he was afraid that everyone would not be able to let go of their hands and feet in front of the camera, so he used "physical means" to block out psychological interference.
To be honest, Xu Zhen doesn't like to be the leader.
But right now there are just four of them in the rehearsal room, and if no one comes forward at this time, the scene is over.
- Zhang Shan, Shen Tang and their examples are there, everyone knows that the rehearsed version just now will be scolded.
Now, if we don't come up with a solution that everyone agrees on, the end result is likely to be that everyone will change the show according to their own ideas when they come on stage, and the end result will probably be worse than the current version.
Ding Xuesong is an egoist, Qi Kui's mentality has obviously collapsed now, and Tan Jingjing's acting skills are the worst among everyone.
Xu Zhen weighed it and finally decided to stand up.
Now he is the only one here, who wants to play well and can act well.
He wanted to try to save the play.
"Time is pressing, I won't say polite words," Xu Zhen pulled up his folding chair, sat opposite the other three, and said calmly, "I'll talk about my thinking first, if you think it's feasible, let's adjust it quickly, if it doesn't work, just press it just now, is this okay?" ”
In a hurry, several people couldn't think of other solutions, so they nodded and agreed to listen to him first.
Xu Zhen then cleared his throat and said: "Director Chen Zi'an was angry just now mainly because of two aspects: one is that the scene is too chaotic, and the other is that the actors' performances do not conform to the setting of the characters in the original work. ”
"This problem also exists in our group, so the adjustment is mainly from these two aspects."
The speed of his speech was not fast, his tone was very low, and his indifferent tone made people feel inexplicably reassured.
Xu Zhen opened the script and said: "Regarding the establishment of people, I will talk about Zhao Erhu first. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qi Kui and said, "Zhao Erhu in the original work is a simple-minded and kind-hearted person, if you want to set up this character, in fact, you only need one shot." ”
"He persuaded the 4,000 surrendered troops in Suzhou City, not because he felt that he had made great contributions, but because he felt that there was no need to die anymore, so he was very excited."
"The first scene you enter the camera, don't sell off, don't be complacent, just shout it neatly-"
As he spoke, Xu Zhen put down the script in his hand and stood up, his eyes suddenly became extremely clean, with an irrepressible look of ecstasy on his face, and said, "Big brother, Wuyang!" ”
At this moment, he seemed to want to make some gestures to celebrate, but he couldn't find it for a while, so he had to shout excitedly at a loss: "The four thousand people in Suzhou City have fallen!" ”
Opposite him, Qi Kui saw this scene, and felt a shock in his heart.
Character design!
This is really "setting up people"!
He didn't know where the crux of the problem was, but when he saw the moment just now, he clearly felt that Xu Zhen was playing "Zhao Erhu" in the original movie.
How exactly is this done?
It's still the same line!
And there is no such scene in the original film!
Xu Zhen saw Qi Kui's mouth open, with a shocked look on his face, and knew that he probably recognized his performance, and said, "If it is feasible, we will focus on this scene in a while." ”
"In other places, it is better to cut the complexity and simplify, and it is better to lack it than to use it."
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and sketched directly on the script, saying: "What I just sketched out is the contradiction between you and this character in your previous performance, you take a look at it, don't want any of these, let's go through it in a while." ”
From Xu Zhen to the present, it has only been two or three minutes in total, but it has neatly solved the character problem that made Qi Kui nervous to the point of collapse.
I don't know if this solution is reasonable for the time being, but Qi Kui did see hope, and his brain gradually cleared up, and he was no longer nervous and collapsed.
"And then talk about Jiang Wuyang," Xu Zhen turned his head to look at Ding Xuesong and said, "If you want to get closer to the original, you still need to grasp the key shots." ”
"In this scene, the key scene is undoubtedly the killing of the second sister-in-law."
"Jiang Wuyang is a person who admits death, and often makes crazy behaviors that are unbelievable to outsiders, but in fact they are logically self-consistent."
"He unexpectedly stabbed his second sister-in-law to death on the spot, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but asked his brothers why they turned against each other for a woman."
"This kind of madness also laid the groundwork for him to assassinate his eldest brother in public later, so I think it can't be deleted, and it still has to be added."
"No threats, no discussions, just stab me to death, and then calmly say, 'Outsiders will kill my brother'!"
“……”
Xu Zhen spent about seven or eight minutes to determine a scene for each person, and then deleted the parts of the original script that did not match this persona.
After saying this, the eyes of everyone in the audience who looked at Xu Zhen changed.
If someone said before that Xu Zhen's acting skills were better than theirs, they were secretly a little unconvinced.
But now......
The three of them suddenly understood why they acted better than themselves.
- Because people's understanding of the role is not at the same level as their own at all!
Young people are just learning to act, and the focus is often on how to play to their strengths.
For example, if someone can cry, he/she will do everything he or she can to add a crying scene to his or her script.
Some people have good line skills, so they always think about how to show off their lines.
But in fact, there may be some places where not crying can be more touching, and a few words are more emotional.
And Xu Zhen's position is obviously different from others, he considers the rhythm of the whole scene, the logic of the story, and the three views of the characters.
Qi Kui held the script, read it, and suddenly sighed.
It's because I'm small.
People have this strength, and they can choose to stand by and only play their own roles, but he still stood up and helped others adjust the script of the whole play.
If you talk about this kind of mind alone, you will lose completely.
Qi Kui glanced at Xu Zhen, who was playing with Tan Jingjing, and smiled helplessly.
Hey, working with such a person is really a literal "teaching to be a man".
Forget it, there is no point in comparing it with others.
Next, in "Breaking through the Guandong", I still humbly ask for advice, it is only serious to learn more things from others!
"The core contradiction of Zhao Erhu's scene is: he promised to release them, but the eldest brother insisted on killing."
"This behavior has an irreconcilable conflict with Zhao Erhu's three views."
