Chapter 204: Acting should be heartfelt
"Stop!"
Cheng Er poked his head out from behind the monitor: "Bingbing, don't be too deliberate, try to be natural." ”
There's no way, Chubby's acting skills are always up and down, fluctuating. When the performance is good, even Xu Guangtou is amazed, and once he is not in the state, his level is particularly amateurish.
For example, in this scene now, on the three-plus-two L-shaped sofa in the center of the living room, Jiang Qinqin is curled up in the corner of the three-person sofa, flipping through magazines, and Li Tang, who is dressed in casual and loose loungewear, is helping her peel apples. The two are very husband and wife, and the picture is particularly warm. But when Fan Xiaopang came over, sat down on the sofa for two, and looked at them while munching on apples, the atmosphere completely changed.
Originally, this scene was played by Fan Xiaopang, when Xiao Ke learned that the frame that disappeared when his parents were killed found in Lin Mo's house was actually sent by He Wei, a primary school classmate of Lin Mo, he wanted to test his brother-in-law.
Temptation, it must always be in a relaxed and natural atmosphere, but Fan Xiaopang's performance is very deliberate, and he actually shows a fierce look in a close-up, which is very exaggerated.
Today's shooting scene is in Li Tang's old apartment on Wuyuan Road, where the original old-fashioned Italian leather sofa and the mahogany table in the dining room have been moved to the small room next door, replaced by a set of Nordic minimalist off-white fabric sofas and long dining tables.
In recent years, this kind of Nordic minimalist furniture produced by IKEA is a light luxury and modern style in the eyes of the general public. It is both fashionable and reflects the family background of the couple played by Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin, who probably belong to the middle class of the city.
On the decorative shelf next to it is a frame for a photo of the two of them. The photos were made in advance using PhotoShop software, which is later known as "PS".
The art designer of the crew, Sun Li, spent nearly a week renovating the entire living room just to shoot these two scenes today, and because of Jiang Qinqin's schedule, these two scenes must be filmed today.
After being stuck twice in a row, Li Tang saw that Xiaopang's mood was wrong today, and it was estimated that he would not be able to shoot any longer, so he put down the half-peeled apple in his hand, turned back to Cheng Er and said, "Director, give me ten minutes and take a break." ”
"Good!"
Today, Xu Guangtou is not there, and Li Tang naturally becomes the performance director.
In order to take care of Chubby's face, Li Tang deliberately pulled her to the bedroom next door.
The bedroom is also made some simple arrangements, because there is also a boat scene between Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin here, of course, it is not the kind of fierce boat scene, but the kind of moisturizing things between husband and wife.
"What's going on with you today?"
"I don't know, it's just that I get angry when I look at her." Chubby said with an angry expression.
Especially when she was pulled into the house by Li Tang just now, she saw Jiang Qinqin on the sofa glancing at her. When a person is not used to looking at another person, she naturally understands that it is a provocative and mocking look, and her heart is even more uncomfortable.
"Oh, I told you, joking and joking, filming and filming, you have to control your emotions, otherwise how to act?"
"What then?"
Chubby knows that now is not the time to be petty, so many staff outside are waiting. But I feel that this thing is not just coming, and it will be difficult to find it for a while. If you can't find a feeling, it means that you can't get into the characters, so you can only play awkwardly.
Li Tang thought for a while and said, "In this way, you treat me and Jiang Qinqin as a couple, you must be very uncomfortable in your heart, right?" ”
"You're not talking nonsense!"
"And then, you don't want to make a big deal out of it, and you have to be unseen. It's that you have something on your mind, but you have to pretend, pretend that it's okay. ”
"Uh, I'll try."
Xiaopang pondered Li Tang's words while taking a deep breath. Then he smiled brightly and said, "I met an elementary school classmate on the street today......
At the same time that Li Tang looked at Xiaopang and said his lines, his big eyes first looked at the wedding photo of Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin hanging on the head of the bed, and then glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, but when the smile on his face did not fluctuate, he suddenly nodded again and again: "Yes, that's right." ”
In fact, this scene is not difficult, that is, Xiao Ke played by Xiaopang has something on his mind, and this psychological fluctuation can only be expressed through subtle changes in his eyes.
But this kind of mental activity doesn't mean that you have to pretend that you have something in your heart and then desperately want to perform. It's about letting you really have something on your mind, you don't even have to act, it's OK to reveal it naturally.
Just like when Li Tang was performing, sometimes he felt itchy on his face or body, so he naturally scratched it. To others, it seems like a design of yours to make the characters look more natural and vivid. Actually, it's neither, but a subconscious or unconscious action. If your body is itchy, you should scratch it, if you force it, it will make your performance deformed or far-fetched.
It's hard to say it's hard to act, it's easy to say it's not difficult, as long as you find the right feeling, especially for experienced actors.
Xiaopang is like this now, since the last filming of the rivalry with Xu Guangtou, she seems to have opened her mind, or mastered the trick, no longer sticking to the so-called performance, everything comes from the heart, but is more natural and vivid.
As a fast food culture, you don't want to be overly entangled in the subtleties of how to use words or whether the punctuation marks are correct, but how to write what you think in your heart, not only the code words will be very smooth, but the reader's reading sense will also be very strong.
At this time, Xiaopang certainly understood Li Tang's intentions, and while his heart was relieved, he didn't forget to warn: "Don't play any tricks!" ”
"What tricks can I play? Hurry up, it's only serious to shoot the scene well. ”
When the two of them came out of the bedroom, they all looked at them inquiringly.
Xiaopang looked at Cheng Er with a smug expression at this time: "Director, no problem, you can shoot." ”
Li Tang returned to the sofa and sat down, Jiang Qinqin, who had not moved his nest, winked at him and whispered, "Yes, Teacher Li, on-site teaching!" ”
"Don't make trouble, don't keep teasing her, she doesn't know how to tease." Li Tang said helplessly.
This reunion after a long absence, to be exact, started from last night's meal, Jiang Qinqin made him feel as if he had changed a person, arguing with Chubby, and deliberately flirting, which was not at all like Jiang Damei's previous arrogant style.
"What, it's distressing?"
"Oh, you don't know, don't you get me in trouble!"
"Cut, aren't you very good at this, and you're not afraid of fooling a little girl."
Jiang Qinqin remembered the scene when the two were filming, this guy teased himself, and felt a faint heat on his face.
"How can this be said to be foolish...... Okay, you should help you out? Li Tang Dynasty arched her hand.
Xiao Pang, who was waiting at the door, saw the two sitting on the sofa whispering, and couldn't help pouting, although he was panicked, his expression was as calm as possible.
Li Tang said something right just now, everyone wants to save face, and they can't let others see jokes. And she secretly comforted herself, anyway, the other party was about to leave after two days of filming, and she was the one who accompanied Li Tang.
"Okay, everyone prepare...... Begin! ”
Two cameras on the scene, one set up behind the dining table, shot the frontal shots of Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin.
I saw Jiang Qinqin leaning on the corner of the sofa in the picture, flipping through the magazine. Li Tang was sitting reclining in her direction, holding a fruit knife in his hand and peeling an apple.
Although the two did not communicate, the sitting posture of the two opposite each other, as well as the leisurely expressions on their faces, especially had a feeling of quiet years, which was enough to reflect the love of the couple.
At this time, Fan Xiaopang walked over and drew in the lens of another camera. I saw her pick up an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, sit down on the two-person sofa next to her, and after taking a bite of the apple, she said with a smile: "I met an elementary school classmate on the street today, and I almost didn't recognize it." ”
said, looked at Jiang Qinqin and said, "What about you, do you still have to remember?" ”
As he spoke, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Li Tang, who was burying his head in apples.
Jiang Qinqin shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's been too long, and it's okay to get closer." ”
Fan Xiaopang was thoughtful, and asked Li Tang again, "What about you?" ”
Li Tang raised his head and said blankly: "What? ”
"Elementary school classmates."
"Well, I don't remember much, I don't remember that time." Li Tang groaned.
"And if you're like me and you happen to bump into it on the street, will you recognize it?"
"Who did you meet?"
"Elementary school classmates!"
The first two times Li Tang would look up when he talked to Xiaopang, but this time he lowered his head and peeled the apple in his hand and said, "I won't touch it." ”
Xiaopang was in a good state at this time, and Cheng Er, who was staring at the monitor screen, was very satisfied, and suddenly his eyes lit up, because he saw that Li Tang's originally thin apple skin had suddenly thickened.
A noticeable change in detail to show the inner mood swings of the characters.
"Why?"
The little chubby, who was originally leaning on the back of the sofa, straightened up and asked, seemingly curious, but his eyes were scrutinizing.
Li Tang said naturally: "I didn't study here in elementary school. ”
"Where?"
At this time, Li Tang raised his head, looked at Xiao Pang, and said sincerely: "In the north, in a small town." ”
After saying that, he added: "You don't know." ”
This sentence is not in the script, he added it temporarily, in a word, intentionally or unintentionally, he just doesn't want Xiaopang to ask again.
may be this improvised line that made Xiaopang pause in his mouth and nibble on the apple, paused for a second, and then looked at Jiang Qinqin, who had been reading the magazine, and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"In a few days."
After receiving this reply, Chubby took a bite of the apple that had been in his mouth, and this bite was bigger than the previous bites.
Why is the bite so big? At that moment, she had already made up her mind, or she had confirmed her conjecture in her heart.
"Stop!"
As the executive director shouted to stop.
Cheng Er stood up from behind the monitor and said with excitement on his face: "Okay! This one is particularly good! ”
That's it for today. Maybe it's been too much of a subscription in the past few days, I had insomnia last night, tossed and turned, didn't sleep all night, and barely slept for two hours until about six o'clock in the morning, and my head was dizzy all day, and my state was very bad. Prepare to drink some wine, try to get a good night's sleep today, and make up for it tomorrow if you recover well.
