Chapter 43 On-site Teaching
As the sun sets, the birds return to the forest.
The filming of the first day of "Funny Family" finally ended, except for Li Mingqi, Li Dafu's performance was good, and the others did not perform satisfactorily.
Li Shengyao did not scold loudly, he gave the actors a lot of patience.
However, except for Xue Zhiqian and Yang Shuo, everyone else is an adult, and they still want to save face.
The big guys want to play a good show, and in the face of such a situation, they are anxious.
During dinner in the afternoon, a group of actors found Li Shengyao and asked him if he had any specific routines.
At this time, Li Shengyao was eating, and Sun Li was sitting next to him.
He felt that Sun Li had been a little clingy to him recently, but he was a principled person, and he didn't have much interest in Sun Li, so he wouldn't provoke him.
Hearing what the actors said, Li Shengyao smiled: "Ask Mr. Li Mingqi, I won't show off." ”
"Director, you can't say that, I'm all thinking about it myself, you let me say it, I can't say it, I still need you to guide them."
Li Mingqi actually wants to see Li Shengyao's understanding of this.
She didn't learn acting, she did have her own thoughts, accumulated experience.
When Li Shengyao heard this, he didn't shirk and said what he had in his heart.
There are two main points, the first is to treat yourself as a real person in the absurd world and perform it.
The second is to try to reduce the sharpness of the characters and make the temperament of the characters weaker.
Regarding the second point, he explained: "This is actually quite normal, this is human nature, if we see a dog being beaten, the dog shows an aggrieved expression, we will sympathize, and we will feel a little funny." ”
"But if the dog grins and shows its sharp teeth after being beaten, we will be afraid."
"It's the same with comedy, you can make your characters sympathetic, but not feared, then no one will have joy, only fear, just distancing."
Hearing this, Chen Hao frowned and thought about it.
She originally had other dramas, but they were all costume dramas, and she wanted to challenge herself, so she found a relationship and came to this crew.
She knew that this was a sitcom, and she had done a lot of work in advance, especially after watching a lot of big brother movies, she felt completely different from what Li Shengyao said.
The second point Li Shengyao said is completely different, the aura of the eldest brother is not weak.
"Director, that ...... So why is the big brother movie, the protagonist's aura is not weak, and he is still sharp? ”
Chen Hao regretted it a little after speaking.
refuted the director in person, which seemed to not give Li Shengyao face.
But since she said it, she wouldn't be afraid, and looked at Li Shengyao, hoping to get the right answer.
Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, nodded at Chen Hao, and then said: "This question is very good, there is another kind of comedy involved here, that is, kung fu comedy. ”
"In the vast majority of kung fu comedies, the protagonist is extremely imposing and has a sharp personality, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"However, the selling point of kung fu comedy is different from ordinary comedy, just like the big brother's kung fu comedy, there are two main reasons why it can produce jokes, one is the contrast between the protagonist's personality and events, and the other is the contrast between kung fu and events."
"The first point is very easy to understand, in "Police Story", what happened to the protagonist in court, the recording that was originally prepared, turned into an ambiguous sex joke, the male protagonist is righteous and upright, and he can't defend himself, so there is a joke here."
"The second point is even more famous, which is the most crucial factor in the world-famous Long's comedy."
"The contrast between kung fu and events, in "Plan A", the protagonist is chased by the bad guys, and it is replaced by other movies, either the protagonist fights back sharply, or runs away in embarrassment, but the eldest brother is inside, with his juggling skills, creating a lot of jokes."
""Drunken Fist" is even more direct, when others fight, the protagonist has to drink a jar of wine first, and the fight is crooked, and he can't stand steadily, this is the contrast between kung fu and events, and it is also the charm of Long's comedy."
When the words fell, he glanced at Chen Hao pitifully.
This girl doesn't think anyone can shoot a big brother's kung fu comedy, right?
In fact, Wu Jing and Zhao Wentai both tried kung fu comedy, but they were only embarrassed.
Why don't you study Zhou Xingxing, or Feng Xiaogang's comedy, why do you study kung fu comedy?
Chen Hao noticed Li Shengyao's eyes and lowered his head embarrassedly.
There was a burst of applause, and Guo Xiaodong then asked: "Director, we can't act in the big brother movie, and now this "Funny Family", in addition to the two points you just said, are there any details that we need to pay attention to?" ”
"There are two points."
It was still two o'clock, Li Shengyao and the others looked over, and then said: "The first point, the expression must be closed." ”
"Compared to other genres, comedy will have more close-ups of faces, and many people mistakenly think that they should magnify their expressions at this time, which is wrong."
criticized Deng Wei by name, he has acted in so many comedies, and the response is not good, the biggest problem is that his facial features are flying around, he thinks that squeezing his eyebrows and making his eyes can produce jokes.
The five members of the Happy Family are the same, and their expressions are very exaggerated.
Such a performance is fake at first sight.
In real life, there are very few people with exaggerated expressions, and it is difficult for the audience to get in.
"We have to take the act, in fact, even if it is Zhou Xingxing's movie, he rarely yells, cries and laughs wantonly."
"The second point is that the expression should be slow, there must be a program, and it should be completed gradually."
"I'll slap it, you shouldn't be glaring at me right away, you will be stunned for a moment, and after you react, then frown and squint at me."
"Comedy has a lot of facial close-ups, and small expressions can also be captured, so when the camera is given to you, the small expressions don't have to be many, but they must be in place."
"You've got it right, it's going to be very interesting, it's going to be wonderful."
The Korean version of Li Shuncai has a lot of small expressions, a pair of small eyes dripping and turning, pouting, frowning, squeezing his nose, baring his teeth, this little old man has contributed more than 30% of the jokes in this drama.
Li Dafu doesn't have any acting skills, but fortunately, the image is very consistent, and the effect of acting in his true colors is good.
When everyone heard this, they silently digested it themselves.
Li Mingqi also felt that he had benefited a lot, and he figured out what he couldn't understand at once, and gave Li Shengyao a thumbs up, "Director, although you are young, you are really capable, admire." ”
Li Shengyao was not modest, nodded and smiled, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have filmed "Funny Family". ”
He is an expert in theory, let him act by himself, he can't act, but let him evaluate, he is absolutely fine.
When Chen Hao heard this, he secretly glanced at Li Shengyao.
I have to say that this man who is younger than her is indeed expected.
Li Mingqi is a national first-class actor, and everyone admires Li Shengyao.
I am afraid that none of the students in the directing department of Nortel Chinese Opera can compare.
China is rich in resources and talents, and if you want to get ahead, you must work harder.
100,000 words right away, and then I'm going to save the manuscript, updating two chapters a day.
