Chapter 45. When filming is in progress, [ask for follow-up]

Sun Yi's first experience of filming a movie is not the same as the TV series "The Condor Heroes" he participated in before.

Costumes, props, photographic equipment, and venues are fully advanced, and the requirements for actors are much higher, although this film is only a TV movie, but director Xue Xiaolu is completely in accordance with the standards of the movie.

A shot of just a few seconds took at least half an hour of shooting time, and director Xue Xiaolu repeatedly adjusted the camera position, determined the composition, and set the lighting, in order to achieve the most perfect degree in her heart.

Rookie directors are like this, many things need to be pondered by themselves, different camera positions, different compositions, and different lighting all need to be tried repeatedly.

Through repeated attempts, the director finally chose the picture that best suited her mind to complete her expression of this plot, which is her lens language, and each director's unique style is slowly formed in such attempts.

The staff of the crew are all operated by students and checked by teachers. The students were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they slapped it repeatedly, without complaining at all.

They are happy, how can they have so much time to touch the machine casually in class on weekdays, and the level is practiced.

Director Tian Zhuang's supervisor is very willing for Xue Xiaolu to try, only in some specific lens application methods, Tian Zhuang's will give corresponding guidance according to his experience for Xue Xiaolu to choose.

Sun Yi ran over to learn whenever he had time, but he didn't have much time, and his first task was to play his own play.

"Send You a Little Red Flower" has a first-class team, first-class actors, and first-class equipment, and the only shortcoming is in the young actors, that is, Sun Yi and Yang Mi.

Yang Mi is better, her acting experience is much richer than Sun Yi, and Ma Xiaoyuan's character is actually quite similar to Yang Mi's daily life, optimistic, cheerful, and arrogant, she is considered to act in her true colors, and she is quite handy in acting.

Sun Yi's side, although he has some talent, his acting experience can only be said to have played a big trick in "The Condor Heroes", and his experience is too lacking.

If you don't have experience, then work hard.

He was the first to come to the set every day to practice positioning, communicate and coordinate with the cameraman, and ensure that he and the camera's movement could be accurately coordinated during shooting.

Practice your lines repeatedly to ensure that each dialogue has the appropriate rhythm, strength and emotion.

At the same time, some body language and small actions that fit the back of the character and the corresponding plot are designed.

Sun Yi's efforts are seen by everyone in the crew, but sometimes hard work alone is not enough, especially acting.

This morning, according to the shooting plan, it is the first group scene of the whole film, which is divided into three acts.

In the first scene, Wei Yihang's family played by Sun Yi celebrates his grandmother's birthday with his relatives, and the relatives at the banquet all look happy on the surface, only he is always the one who is out of place.

In the second act, he left the table to take his younger brother to the bathroom, and when he returned to the door of the private room of the hotel, he overheard that his relatives were going to sell their houses and cars in order to raise money for him to see a doctor. He leaned against the wall of the hallway, his heart touching.

In the third scene, he saw his father, who had always been extremely strong in front of outsiders, hide his face and cry at the dinner table in the face of the help of his relatives, enter the private room, and bow deeply to the family.

The first two scenes were filmed quite smoothly, and the third act was filmed with ten lines......

"Click, Sun Yi, your pace should be slower and heavier."

......

"Click, Sun Yi, the small action of pulling the corners of your clothes on your hands is very good. But your emotions, it's not enough to have uneasiness, I want your guilt and self-blame. ”

......

"Click, that's good, huh...... One more ... Thanksgiving, yes, can you add to me the emotion of gratitude to fellow relatives? ”

......

"Click, well, let's go."

Xue Xiaolu has high requirements for Sun Yi, and her requirements for the actor's emotions must be given comprehensively.

Don't look at the simple scene of just walking a few steps into the room and then bowing, Sun Yi was sweating profusely, and he felt that the whole person was going to be overdrawn.

During the lunch break, Sun Yi was quickly pulling the lunch box into his mouth, and hurriedly finished eating, there was a scene in the afternoon that he hadn't had time to practice, so he had to familiarize himself with it in advance.

Xue Xiaolu came to sit down beside him, saw Sun Yi eating, and didn't rush to speak.

Sun Yi hurriedly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said:

"Hmm... Teacher Xue, is there anything wrong, you said, I'm done eating. ”

Xue Xiaolu sorted out her thoughts and said with great attention to the wording:

"Sun Yi, for your performance, I want to talk to you, at present, some daily scenes, you have done a good job, you can give everything I want, this is very rare for a rookie actor."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, and continued euphemistically:

"The script was written by you, you should know better than me, the character of Wei Yihang itself is a bit complicated, blindly withdrawn, rebellious is not enough, he has a transformation. His transformation is through the rivalry with his parents, including the emotional conflict with Ma Xiaoyuan, layer by layer, and finally broke out completely. ”

may be afraid that Sun Yi will have any ideas, Xue Xiaolu finally explained.

"You know, this is my first work, and I want her to be perfect and keep improving. So next, I need your performance to take it to the next level, to be more emotional, and to be fuller. ”

Sun Yi understood, he didn't think that Teacher Xue was demanding, but that his acting skills needed to be strengthened.

According to the character design of the script, the layering of his performance is indeed poor.

The next rivalry is with Li Chengru, Jiang Wenli and Wang Zhiwen, who are acting masters, he originally didn't want to be able to perform, as long as he didn't get blown into scum.

But it is obvious that Mr. Xue's requirements for him are not just ordinary qualifications, she hopes that this movie will be brilliant and that she can act better.

But there is such a thing as layering, when he writes the script, it is very simple, but when he officially acts, he is a little confused.

Sun Yi had no choice but to find Teacher Cui Xinqin and tell him about his current troubles.

After Cui Xinqin heard this, she was very relieved and said with a smile:

"Sun Yi, it seems that you still have a pursuit of yourself, the problem you said is actually the commonality on the road to the advancement of every actor, your current performance is qualified, but Mr. Xue obviously asks you to go further. Your problem, at the root of it, is that you don't have a strong sense of conviction and don't fully integrate with the character. ”

When Sun Yi heard this, he somewhat understood, when he was acting in the past few days, he always felt that there seemed to be a thin film between himself and the role of Wei Yihang, although it was infinitely close, but there was still a trace of space.

Many times what he shows is just his own thoughts from Wei Yihang's point of view, not the thoughts of Wei Yihang's character itself.

There is a layer in the middle, which is about the same, but in fact, the difference is big.

"Teacher, I understand, but how to break the distance between me and the character?"
