Chapter 37 Adaptation
At its core, comedy is tragedy.
Chen Peixi said that the reason why people laugh is actually a manifestation of a sense of superiority.
All comedies can't escape a sense of superiority and difference.
Through this sense of difference, the irrationality in the plot is eliminated.
All in all, a comedy needs to constantly distance the audience, so that the audience has a sense of immersion, but not a sense of participation.
Take Feng Cannon's comedy as an example, if the characters in the play do stupid things, the audience occupies the commanding heights of IQ, in this case, the audience will subconsciously ignore the unreasonableness in the play, and instead establish a strong sense of difference, thus generating jokes.
Although Ji Yun feels that there is no high or low comedy method, Xing Ye's way is undoubtedly very advanced.
His story is very jumpy, as if multiple paragraphs are crumpled into a mess, and then let the protagonist go through these story groups.
The advantage is that the perception is stronger and the story flow is more linear, but the disadvantage is that the protagonist is expensive.
All the troubles have to be borne by the protagonist alone.
This is also why everyone except Xing Ye will feel embarrassed when they play Xing Ye's dramas.
Because his personal style is so strong that others can't control it.
The same goes for kung fu movies.
He was like a bearing, and all the stars and moons revolved around him.
The big battle in this pigcage walled city is one of the few group dramas without the participation of the star master.
Xing Ye didn't give Ji Yun a play, but let him act first.
He squinted, sat on the director's chair and carefully observed every detail of Ji Yun's body, although he affirmed Ji Yun's performance in the previous interview, but it was just a scene, too one-sided.
No matter how good an actor's audition performance is, it is useless, only if he can really integrate into the crew, stand in front of the camera and give 200% of his performance, he can be regarded as an excellent actor.
The first scene is when the eldest brother of the Axe Gang sees the second master in the iron bucket, which is just a short picture, which is only a dozen seconds long, and it also makes Ji Yun find out the state.
The camera shot up, and Ji Yun looked down at the figure in the iron bucket.
Angry, puzzled, mixed with a hint of disdain.
These expressions were mixed together, and Ji Yun's face twitched for a moment.
He leaned back slightly, took a deep breath and weighed all the anger into his heart.
"Humph!" A slight sneer was revealed.
"Cards!"
Looking at Ji Yun's performance, Xing Ye nodded, but still shouted a card.
The image is right, but it's a little less energetic.
He hooked his hand and called Ji Yun to his side: "You let go of the acting again, it doesn't have to be so complicated." ”
Ji Yun nodded and changed his way.
With the same upward perspective, when the camera focuses on Ji Yun's face, all that remains is anger.
He gritted his teeth, his entire cheek puffed out, and his brow furrowed.
"Whew!" The smile is much more suppressed, and the whole person looks a lot darker.
"Good!"
Xing Ye smiled.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
When he smiled, even the entire crew breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time that Xing Ye has shown a smile during the filming. At the same time, they were also secretly frightened, what was the origin of this kid, who could make Xing Ye so happy?
Xing Ye smiled not for anything else, just because Ji Yun was malleable and could hear the main points.
I didn't expect this kid to have this ability at a young age.
In Ji Yun's body, he saw the shadow of his youth.
Many people have a solidified impression of Xing Ye, thinking that he can only act in comedy, but few people know that his villain can also be portrayed to make people hateful. In "Metropolis", he contributed such performances.
His words were very vague, but Ji Yun still understood what he wanted to convey.
Let go of the point, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
What he means is that the characters are more face-painted.
Repositioned the camera, Xing Ye smiled, and the movements of the entire crew were much brisker.
The second scene is filmed after the second boss is beaten into an iron bucket and fired a signal flare, attracting the Axe Gang.
Under the leadership of the eldest brother of the Axe Gang played by Ji Yun, the Axe Gang controlled the pigpen walled city, and in order to avenge the second boss and find out the murderer, he poured red oil on the bodies of a mother and son, and threw away the lighter.
Ji Yun already knew what Xing Ye wanted to perform, and along this path, he entered the role very quickly.
As soon as the field notes were laid down, Ji Yun paced a few steps forward.
The amplitude of his lower body is very small, but his upper body is shaking as much as possible, and the whole person is like a tumbler, leaning out step by step.
Xing Ye's eyes lit up again, this action design is amazing!
It has both a comedic effect and a peak of the character's arrogance. He watched with bated breath, waiting for Ji Yun to give him some more surprises.
Ji Yun raised his head and looked down at the people in the pigpen walled city.
The tone was lazy, with a hint of provocation, and he was extremely inadequate.
"Who did it?"
A barrel of gasoline poured down, already drenching the two group performers.
"I'll count to three!"
Reach out and take a lighter out of your trouser pocket.
“1!”
Ji Yun's tone was deep, and with a force of his thumb, he wiped off the flint on the lighter.
The rhythm is very smooth, and so far, his performance has been perfect!
"Whew!"
Flames rose and swayed in the wind.
Ji Yun was still counting it, but he didn't expect a gust of wind to blow, and the fire on the lighter was blown out instantly.
......
The whole crew was silent, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and there was silence for a while.
Sneaking a glance at Xing Ye, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He was about to open his mouth to scold, but saw Ji Yun move again.
"Whew!"
Ji Yun rubbed the flint again, and the flames swayed again, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But today's wind is really a bit noisy, and the faint flames are constantly swaying in the wind, as if they are about to be extinguished at any moment.
The faces of the staff of the props team have turned bitter melon color, and they are silently begging in their hearts that the wind can be lighter at this time.
However, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and another gust of wind blew, and the flame on the lighter was extinguished again.
As if he already knew this result, Ji Yun did not get stuck, but shrunk into a ball and wrapped the lighter with his body.
"Whoa!"
He was a little angry, his fingers kept rubbing, and countless sparks burst out of the lighter, but there was not a trace of fire.
He shook the lighter hard, looked around, pointed to a man in black, and waved his hand to signal him to come.
The photographer was completely confused, but Yu Guang glanced at Xing Ye and saw that he was silent, and he didn't mean to call the card, so he followed the drive of his heart and took a picture with the camera on his shoulder.
The group performance was also confused, and the ghost sent the gods to Ji Yun's side.
Standing still, his face still confused.
Seeing the group performance come over, there was a hint of joy on his face, and suddenly he realized that he was committing a crime, and such a smile was really not suitable for the face of his heinous murderer.
"Ahem!"
He coughed lightly, buried his smile, and lit the lighter again as if nothing had happened.
With the help of the body of the group performer to block this evil wind, the flames finally rose.
He smiled and counted down again.
“2!”
