Chapter 348: Jin Yiwei, who can't act, is not a good tailor
(change first and then change, delete after correction)
Hu Weiguo really didn't expect that one day, he would shudder with a bright smile.
Moreover, it is still the smile of a young man with clear eyebrows.
Just a few seconds ago, Jin Yichuan, played by Xu Zhen, was still slashing people in the narrow alley.
Faced with the frightened look of the fugitive, his eyes were full of madness, and the red blood splattered on his slightly pale cheeks, and he didn't even blink his eyes, and even showed an excited smile.
As a result, as soon as he turned his head and returned to the second brother, Jin Yichuan immediately changed into a simple face that was harmless to humans and animals.
It's a little stupid, a little silly, and people can't help but want to take care of him more.
This strong contrast gives a great visual impact.
Hu Weiguo looked at Xu Zhen on the set in a daze, recalling his unassertive and scheming state during the day today, and he only felt scared for a while.
I don't know my heart......
The third child played by Xu Zhen completely subverted his expectations for this role!
When he first saw the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Hu Weiguo still wondered why Lu Haiyang added a "Jiangyang thief" setting to the role of Jin Yichuan.
Isn't Jin Yichuan's lines in the play contradictory to the setting of this character?
It wasn't until he watched Xu Zhen's performance just now that Hu Weiguo reacted in hindsight:
This contradiction in him is the real core of this role.
- Jin Yichuan in the story is not an innocent person at all......
Moreover, after thinking about this, Hu Weiguo's mind instantly appeared with many details that he hadn't noticed before:
For example, Jin Yichuan was the first to propose that Zhao Gonggong had a scar on the crossbow on his hand, so if he wanted to kill people, we had to run;
For example, every time the eldest brother and the second brother have a dispute, Jin Yichuan seems to have no opinion, but in fact, he makes a more radical decision every time......
This is a cold-blooded murderer who is not afraid of life and death.
"Alas......"
On the sidelines, Hu Weiguo couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
He now understands why Wu Zhen refused to accept "Embroidered Spring Knife" at the beginning.
For the same script, if you change a group of actors, it will be a different flavor entirely.
Jin Yichuan must be played by an actor of Xu Zhen's level in order to truly show the charm of this role.
This is not a knife used to kill chickens, this is originally killing cows.
……
On February 2, Hu Weiguo stayed on the set, from 9 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the evening.
This day happened to be a small year in the north, and after the crew finished work, they deliberately cooked a big pot of dumplings, and everyone symbolically ate a few, which was regarded as a holiday.
It wasn't until the crew finished work and the staff began to pack up the equipment and props on the sidelines that he left the set unsatisfied.
After this day's visit, Hu Weiguo can basically be sure: If nothing happens, the results of this movie will definitely not be bad.
As long as the publicity keeps up and the film scheduling is reasonable, it is inevitable to recover the cost, and there is even a certain probability that it will explode.
Even if the box office does not explode, word of mouth will definitely explode.
It's just that what makes him a little depressed is that there are so many good actors, why are they all from someone else's family......
Although these people are more stubborn than the other, bored acting, and not making good money, but when filming movies, such a stubborn donkey is a good messenger!
Hu Weiguo rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered something:
In other words, Cai Shijian's stupid thing seems to be preparing to set up a new company recently, and Xu Zhen is also one of the shareholders.
Find someone in two days and ask them if they need to invest.
Well, at this time, there is no loss in shares.
……
Since the start of filming, the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has always been in a state of high-speed operation, shooting forty or fifty shots every day, and more than half of them are plays.
Jin Yichuan, played by Xu Zhen, has the most scenes and the most workload, but he almost never needs to rework.
The continuous and stable performance state has been unanimously praised by the crew.
Xu Zhen shoots fast here, and the fault tolerance rate of others can be greatly improved, and after a few days, he can obviously feel that the actors and staff around him are very kind to him.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he even feels that his daily boxed lunch is better than other people's.
It is neither sprinkled with soup nor squeezed, and the shape is very regular every time.
Director Lu Haiyang was also extremely satisfied with Xu Zhen's performance, claiming that he had mixed so many crews, and he had never seen a young man in his early twenties who could play his part.
As soon as Xu Zhen entered the set every day, what he heard was praise from all sides.
However, these praises did not make Xu Zhen flutter, but made him feel very ashamed.
- No matter how hard you try, you are still pressed by your predecessors.
Although I am young, I can't always use my age as an excuse when I come out to mix.
Looking at the finished films recorded every day, he can clearly feel that other people's roles are very vivid, but Jin Yichuan is not down-to-earth enough.
The old man who played "Wei Zhongxian" had very few scenes, but it only took two scenes to show the madness and arrogance of the powerful eunuch at the end of his life.
The setting of "big brother" Lu Jianxing was originally not brilliant enough, but his embarrassment in the face of his old mother and his humility in the face of his boss were very moving.
Xu Zhen doesn't know where the gap between himself and others is.
The character biography was carefully written, the character setting was carefully pondered, and the lines were also seriously correct......
He had tried his best, but in the end, the result was still a little thin and superficial.
This sense of powerlessness was already felt by Xu Zhen when he was in the crew of "Langya Bang".
At the beginning, it took him half a year to get familiar with Mei Changsu's state, and he almost reached the point of going crazy.
The effect of the final performance, how to say it, is indeed very "Mei Changsu", but compared with Xie Yanjun, Zhong Tao and other predecessors in the same crew, the tension of the performance is still slightly insufficient.
Xu Zhen doesn't want to attribute this problem to "inexperienced".
He likes to work hard to solve problems rather than letting time figure everything out.
……
The filming of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was going on day by day, and Xu Zhen riveted himself to film with a slight sense of anxiety.
On this morning, he got up at 5 o'clock as usual, and after his morning class, he went to the small garden of the hotel for morning exercises.
It was just dawn, and most of the people were still asleep.
But there is one person that Xu Zhen can always meet during morning exercises, and that is Wang Jinpeng, the actor of "Big Brother" in the film.
Wang Jinpeng is 40 years old this year, very tall, tough and sturdy, and is a typical northern man.
Mr. Wang is the only person in the entire crew who has the title of "actor", and he is also one of the few international A-level actor trophy winners in China.
When he first joined the group, Xu Zhen was a little in awe of him, and he didn't dare to go up and talk to him recklessly.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Jinpeng actually took the initiative to find Xu Zhen and happily told him that he was a descendant of "breaking through the Guandong".
When "Breaking through the East" was on the air last year, the whole family chased the drama together, and his parents were very fond of passing on martial arts.
Seeing that the actor took the initiative to sign himself, Xu Zhen was flattered.
has been an actor for four years, and this is the first time he has really realized that he is probably a star.
This morning, after running two laps, Xu Zhen unexpectedly met Wang Jinpeng again.
"Big brother" was wearing a sportswear, carrying a machete, and waved hello to Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen hurriedly stopped, smiled and said hello to his seniors.
The two of them ran and practiced knives, and they were all right.
It's just that after running three laps that day, Xu Zhen found that Wang Jinpeng's knife didn't seem to be practicing very smoothly.
"Big brother," he hesitated, but still stopped, and said, "There is a slight problem with the few tricks you practiced just now." ”
"It's easy to strain your back muscles with such a swing."
When Wang Jinpeng heard this, he looked at him in surprise and said, "Ah, is it? ”
As he spoke, he scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, these tricks were deleted by Director Lin, and I think I don't look good, so it's better to simply leave it to Wu Dai to deal with." ”
"But I don't really want to use a stand-in, I can fight or I want to fight myself."
When Xu Zhen heard this, he was slightly stunned, and suddenly recalled that when he was in the crew of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" three years ago, something similar had happened.
At that time, the wonderful monk Wuhua played by himself had a fight scene on a stone beam with Chu Liuxiang played by Brother Hao.
The action in that scene was extremely difficult, but Brother Hao insisted on refusing to use martial arts, and practiced from noon to more than three o'clock in the morning of the next day.
Of course, in the end, I didn't practice too well, and I almost fell off the stone beam.
Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile.
"The few moves just now are really not very easy to fight," he thought for a while and asked, "Big brother, when are these moves going to be filmed?" ”
Wang Jinpeng said: "The day after tomorrow." ”
When he heard Xu Zhen ask, his eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "What, Yichuan wants to open a small stove for me?" ”
Xu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Actually, I still suggest that the eldest brother communicate with Director Lin and eat a 'big pot of rice'." ”
"I'm not a professional after all."
"However, we can practice a little bit this morning, so that the eldest brother can practice well, and then take the results to ask Director Lin for this action, which is more reasonable."
When Wang Jinpeng heard him say this, he immediately nodded frequently and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I think." ”
As he spoke, he immediately turned the handle of the knife, handed the big knife to Xu Zhen, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, under the guidance of labor?" ”
Seeing this, Xu Zhen was immediately a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed down, took the big knife from Wang Jinpeng's hand with both hands, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, big brother is raised, let's exchange experience." ”
If it was changed to other weapons, Xu Zhen really didn't dare to open this small stove.
But the single knife is a weapon that he has mastered since he was a child, and in this alone, he is indeed confident that he will not mislead people's children.
"The weapon used by the eldest brother is based on the goose wing knife," Xu Zhen touched the blade and said, "It is different from the knife used by the second brother." ”
"The flat-headed blade, there is no piercing action, it is basically chopping, and the emphasis is on opening and closing."
"The power of this knife is very strong, and if you want to use it well, the balance of the upper body is very important, so when you swing the knife, the other hand must not be idle, there are certain action requirements."
“……”
Xu Zhen briefly talked about the essentials of the knife moves, and re-demonstrated the tricks just now, telling Wang Jinpeng where his problem was.
If it was changed to other weapons, Xu Zhen really didn't dare to guide rashly.
But the single knife is the one he has practiced the most since he was a child, and when it comes to this, he doesn't dare to say that he can have the same level as Coach Lin, at least being a teaching assistant is definitely more than enough.
Wang Jinpeng was deleted, in fact, there were only three knife moves in total, and the difficulty was indeed relatively high, so Director Lin saw that he couldn't play well, so he didn't teach it directly.
At present, after Xu Zhenzai carefully helped him sort out the main points, Wang Jinpeng gradually opened his mind and gradually touched the way of this set of actions.
The two practiced from more than five o'clock to seven o'clock, and these three moves were about to enter the door.
Xu Zhen didn't ask for help him practice these few sword tricks so wonderfully, as long as he didn't practice blindly by himself and practiced himself until his muscles were strained, he would have achieved his goal.
"Hey, Ichikawa ......"
On the way to breakfast, Wang Jinpeng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There is one thing I have always wanted to say. ”
"You don't have to be so reluctant to act."
Xu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”
Wang Jinpeng thought for a moment and said, "I feel that you have been working very hard to adjust your mentality and turn yourself into 'Jin Yichuan'. ”
"But I actually think it's a little too hard."
"Jin Yichuan is actually a more dramatic character, and you can't find a prototype of such a character in real life."
"It's good to act in your true colors, but no matter how hard you try, there is no way to play the role of Jin Yichuan in your true colors."
"Actually, you can use a little more acting skills."
"When we were in school, we didn't just look at so many things when we learned about the sound stage."
When Xu Zhen heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be ignored by himself.
Can't act in your true colors?
There is no archetype in the life of this character?
Therefore, I always feel that my performance is not grounded, is it actually because the setting of the character itself is not grounded?
Wang Jinpeng saw Xu Zhen's thoughtful appearance, and further mentioned: "I saw you writing a biography that day. ”
"You feel like this thing is what you rely on the most for your performance."
"It's not necessary."
"Even if you don't write a biography at all, don't consider the psychology of the character, and play purely with skills, your acting skills are good enough."
While speaking, the two walked into the hotel's restaurant side by side, Wang Jinpeng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "For example." ”
"Let's practice an improvisational performance now."
"I'm your teacher, and you're about to take the college entrance examination now, but I suddenly know your secret: you've killed someone."
"Two years ago, one of your classmates died unexpectedly and was judged to have committed suicide by jumping off a building, but in fact I know that this incident was not an accident, it was you who pushed him down."
"Now I'm threatening you with this to do something for me that is difficult for a strong man."
"How are you going to act out this story?"
