Chapter 284: Surprised
Stephen turned to look at the female screenwriter and whispered, "Senny, do you think the role of Archmage is suitable for him?" ”
The female screenwriter was very surprised, turned her head and replied, "You want to ...... However, although the age for him to play the archmage is very appropriate, he is the face of Ye Zhou after all. ”
Stephen smiled: "In your script, the archmage has a mysterious origin, isn't it, and the face of Yezhou is also very suitable, right?" ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
The female screenwriter thought about it and felt that it made sense, and she really admired Ren Shuai, if he played the archmage, it would also be a good choice.
The female screenwriter nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
However, Stephen said: "This is just my initial idea, and the level he just showed is not enough to impress me, and give him the role." ”
At this time, the producer also joined the discussion, he heard the exchange between the two, and from a creative point of view, he had no opinions to give, but from the producer's point of view, he had his own concerns.
"Both, I approve of Mr. Li's performance and appearance, but in terms of language, I'm worried about whether he can keep up with the progress of the other actors in the crew." Said the producer.
The female screenwriter also echoed in a low voice: "Yes, I almost ignored this, the archmage has a lot of lines, and there are many large spells, which is a test for most actors, even if the actors who speak their native language are a little difficult, Mr. Li is afraid that ......"
Stephen nodded, understanding what the two companions were trying to say, and this was where he couldn't make up his mind.
Another point is that in addition to the requirements for action scenes, the archmage is also a delicate character, and there are many inner scenes that need to be completed by actors with strong expression.
He thought carefully for a while, pulled out two pages from the script on the table, and looked up at Ren Shuai.
"Mr. Li, I've kept you waiting."
Ren Shuai quietly watched a few people discuss in a low voice, judging from the look in his eyes, he should have some hope, but I'm afraid that the main creators have some other worries.
Soon, Stephen made a new request.
"We were very happy with your performance just now, and now I have a little scene I want you to perform."
As he spoke, he got up and handed the paper in his hand to Ren Shuai, and continued: "There is an archmage character in the play, he has a very deep magical strength, a respected status, a delicate mind, and a far-sighted plan, I hope you can perform this role." ”
Ren Shuai looked at the two-page script, and suddenly felt a little excited.
Isn't this delivered to your door?
He guessed that several people were worried about his foreign language level and wanted to take advantage of this to teach, so Ren Shuai happily agreed: "Okay, please give me a few minutes to prepare." ”
Stephen saw that Ren Shuai did not hesitate at all, thinking that it seemed that he was confident in his language level, but Stephen didn't want to give him too much time, and he didn't ask Ren Shuai to say the line word for word, as long as Ren Shuai could express the central idea.
What he values more is Ren Shuai's emotional expression.
"Okay, can you give you ten minutes?"
The others were surprised to hear that Stephen had only given Ren Shuai ten minutes, and it would take at least ten minutes to understand what they wanted to express just after reading these two pages of script.
Then Ren Shuai has no time to memorize lines at all, so he can only focus on emotional expression, which can better show the actor's ability to understand and show the script.
In this way, it is better to test Ren Shuai's language comprehension and expression skills than directly memorizing lines.
This requires him to refine and summarize the lines according to his own understanding, and then perform them.
Ren Shuai doesn't care about time, after all, he is a person with a card.
He only needs to read the script in ten minutes.
Fortunately, after Ren Shuai went through the continental exam, he reviewed the foreign language again, and his vocabulary also increased.
The speed at which he read the script was quite normal, and after reading it, Ren Shuai realized that things were not so simple.
The difficulty of this performance is not in the large lines and spells, but in the mental activity before he initiates the spell.
This scene is a foreshadowing before the archmage starts a war with the hostile forces, and in addition to the conflict of positions between him and the hostile forces, there are also emotional entanglements.
And once the war starts, it will have a great impact on the civilian population, and he must be cautious in every choice and decision.
Ren Shuai needed to express this complex series of mental activities before he began to chant spells and cast magic.
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and after Stephen's reminder, Ren Shuai returned the script to him.
"Mr. Li, are you ready?"
"Yes, it's time to go."
Ren Shuai nodded confidently.
Stephen saw his state and showed a hint of expectation, he thought to himself that this scene was not so easy to perform, and only hoped that Ren Shuai would not despise it too much.
Several other judges also have their own thoughts, some have to keep expectations for Ren Shuai, some have expressed concern, and some are not optimistic.
Ren Shuai adjusted his breathing slightly, and gradually sank into the role.
He raised his head slowly, but his eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes did not reveal completely, but a surging emotion gradually emanated.
It was as if there were a thousand burdens at this time, and all kinds of thoughts were surging in the dark, ups and downs.
Ren Shuai's eyes turned slightly, his eyes lifted slightly, his eyes were deep and dignified, he seemed to see a long distance, and he didn't seem to see anything.
The expression on his face did not change significantly, but many mixed emotions were conveyed in a few breaths.
Ren Shuai slowly took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes gradually came out, and with this gaze, he seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart, and this decision was accompanied by pain and relief.
Although this performance did not have any lines and voices, it instantly captured the eyes and hearts of the four main creators, and several of them held their breath together, and their moods fluctuated with Ren Shuai's performance.
Just after Ren Shuai made his decision, he spoke.
A long line full of difficult words blurted out, each full of frustration and strength.
As this line was spoken, Stephen instantly showed a surprised gaze.
The female screenwriter's eyebrows were raised high, her eyes were round, and her lips were slightly open.
And what shocked them was not only that, Ren Shuai issued a spell full of mystery after saying the line well.
This spell is a handwritten pronunciation by the screenwriter and has no specific meaning.
Ren Shuai uttered every syllable exactly at all.
The female screenwriter was very surprised, almost exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her lips with her hands.
After Ren Shuai finished reciting the incantation, he made a gesture of raising his hand to end the performance.
Stephen dragged his glasses repeatedly with his hand, looking at the lines in the script, Ren Shuai's performance was completely beyond his imagination.
In just ten minutes, Ren Shuai actually memorized all the lines.
This is not the most terrifying, Ren Shuai not only remembers the lines word for word, but also pronounces them very standardly, and the frustration and mood of each sentence are also very in place, which can be described as perfect.
And what really moved Stephen was the silent performance at the beginning.
is definitely an actor-level acting.
