Chapter 147: The Choice of Art
When Huang Baiyou returned to Shuangfeng, he had completed [Familiar with the Plot Background], [Visiting the Descendants of the Character Prototype], [Reciting His Own and His Opponent's Lines], and won three rewards, and he was still close to learning Lao Xiang.
"Basic knowledge of journalists", "A small number of emotional fragments of Xiao Tu" and "A large number of emotional fragments of Xiao Tu", Huang Baiyou plans to experience Xiao Tu's memories first.
Back at the hotel, with ice water on the table, Huang Baiyou took a deep breath and entered Xiao Tu's emotional fragments......
The words are divided into two ends, and another thing that is of great concern is that the casting of "Shadow" finally came to an end after a few meetings.
The meeting staff included Lao Tu, Pei Wen, Yuan Xiangshi, as well as screenwriters, assistant directors, producers and art directors, almost equivalent to reading a large-scale script without actors.
In a war of words, Lao Tu and Yuan Xiangshi supported Huang Baiyou.
And the director is more inclined to Li Dongdong, it's not that Huang Baiyou's audition performance is not good, the few actors who came to audition are good, but Li Dongdong is more in line with Pei Wen's aesthetics.
Generally speaking, if you have any objections, listen to director Pei Wen, after all, he is the helmsman and controls the direction of the big ship's sailing.
"Lao Pei, you forgot that your requirements are not something that ordinary actors can do." Lao Tu said, "First get strong to play the heroic Jingzhou, and then lose weight in a short period of time, and perform the skinny Dadu Governor Ziyu, how many people in the entertainment industry can do this?" ”
This sentence ended the competition, losing weight in a short period of time is extremely difficult for actors, not whether they are willing or not, but whether they can do it, Huang Baiyou has a successful example in "The Road of Life".
"Li Dongdong is not bad, let him play King Pei." Pei Wen said.
In addition, when Yuan Xiangshi auditioned, Pei Wen felt that he was more suitable for Zhang Cang, the invincible enemy god of war in the film, so he decided directly, and then asked him to act as an examiner.
At present, the main characters of "Shadow" have been determined-
[Ziyu/Jingzhou: Huang Baiyou.]
Ai Qiao: Zhou Weijie
Pei Wang: Li Dongdong
Zhang Cang: Yuan Xiangshi
Liu Xiang: Guan Qing
Lu Zhisu: Bao Ying]
"Is the location set up?" Pei Wen pays attention to the progress.
Originally, the crew was going to go to the Seoul film and television shooting base in Zaoyang, but after the field trip, Pei Wen thought that it did not meet his beauty, so he was ready to rebuild a building complex.
What is the beauty? Pei Wen wants to use "Shadow" to restore that China is an ink landscape, and he wants to shoot every frame of the film into an ink painting, which is very ambitious, so he has high requirements for architecture.
Making a movie and building a film and television base is a bit outrageous, but for a big director of Pei Wen's level, he can leverage so much capital, and even the local government is happy to cooperate, which is a very normal operation.
"Not so fast." Lao Tu shook his head.
"Can it be done before this year?" Pei Wen asked.
"If the new calendar is the end of the year, then the construction progress will be difficult." Lao Tu said, "With the old calendar as the end, the construction period is in time." ”
"I want to start filming in December." Pei Wen said.
Lao Tu's head shook like a rattle, "No, it can't be done, it's impossible." ”
"It is necessary to start the machine in December, and this month is the most suitable, and spring will start in February." Pei Wendao.
"It's too fast to be safe, and no matter how fast it is, it won't be finished until the end of December." Lao Tu said, "We respect the construction team. ”
Tu Pei began to argue again, both the assistant director and the art director are used to it, as long as they start filming, the two must have a small quarrel for two days and a big quarrel for five days.
In the end, the conversation ended with Pei Wen's words, "Anyway, I'm going to start the film in December, and I don't care about the rest." ”
Pei Wen is a bit capricious.
The good news failed to reach the parties concerned, because Pei Wen's studio had not yet sent a message, and Huang Baiyou was in a state of emotional confusion.
He experienced Xiao Tu's emotions, and the impact on his mood was even heavier than Huang Baiyou expected.
When entering Xiao Tu's emotions, Huang Baiyou seemed to calmly watch himself step by step into the deeper part of the lake. Each choice adds depth to drowning yourself.
As we all know, people can't breathe in the water, so Huang Baiyou felt that since Xiao Tu walked forward, he had to endure indescribable suffocation.
I don't know how deep the lake is, Huang Baiyou can't see the way forward, and Xiao Tu has no way out.
"Do you want to put this despair into play?" Huang Baiyou fell into deep thought.
Stanislavsky said a very classic truth in "The Self-cultivation of Actors", not all truths are suitable for showing on the stage, because many truths will make the audience uncomfortable, which is why art is higher than life.
If this kind of desperation is performed, the audience will definitely be depressed to watch the drama, plus the plot itself...... This may result in low ratings.
In literary creation, writers often use short or playful descriptions of very sad plots, which are too heavy and can really affect the movie.
To be or not to be?
Huang Baiyou called Zhou Xilin, and Brother Zhou was more suitable to answer his question in terms of age and acting skills.
Answering the phone, Huang Baiyou told all his doubts, and Zhou Xilin fell silent.
How does Zhou Xilin feel? It feels like a college student is suddenly asked about the Riemann conjecture.
"I've heard that when a singer reaches a certain level, he will definitely give up something and focus on something, I didn't expect actors to have similar choices, my goal now is to perform every scene well, whether to play it more realistically, this question is too early for me." Zhou Xilin replied.
"But I know someone can explain your confusion." Zhou Xilin was silent again after saying this.
What I won't say is Su Fuguang, who is green, but there is no need, Huang Baiyou said: "Brother Zhou, then I'll think about it myself." ”
After hanging up the phone, Huang Baiyou pondered that the essence of this choice is the core of the performance, "whether you care about the public's aesthetics", "or care more about your own expression", and "truth".
And truth is the self-summary of the expressor, just like the despair that Huang Baiyou sees is also a summary of emotional fragments, so truth is integrated into one's own expression.
Some people may say that as long as the performance is good, the public will definitely like it, then it must be true, Huang Baiyou has gone through the "good" at present, and if you want to touch it better, should you reduce your emotions and make the audience more comfortable, or still insist?
This question is too profound, Huang Baiyou has changed a solution, why is it so uncomfortable, Xiao Tu can still insist?
Huang Baiyou's goal is to stay on the reward of Reward Task 4.
[Reward: The Dawn Before Dawn.]
Details: Before dawn is the darkest, but there are always people who can say that light is seen in the dark. "If there is no light in the darkness, then I become light". 】
"I understand, I can't just show despair, but also show why I can survive." Huang Baiyou wants to understand.
About half an hour later, Zhou Xilin sent a message on WeChat.
Brother Zhou: [The answer I asked for help, the original words were "This question is a good question, I haven't seen such a good question for a long time, my answer to this question is to express yourself, because the actor's own expression is the light of art", the specific situation depends on you and yourself. ]
