014 The way of performance
Several actors looked confused after listening to He Fang's words, the way just now, what was the way just now? I was scolded by the director so nervously just now that I forgot what kind of performance I had.
"Yilong, you are studying acting, what did the director say about the way of acting just now? Can you explain that to us? Sister was a little confused. "The eldest of them is Liu Yan is a studious person, she doesn't admit defeat but really lacks a foundation in acting. She couldn't understand a lot of professional things, although she also enrolled in classes to learn some.
Especially a returnee like He Fang, she can't understand it anymore.
Zhu Yilong spread his hands, "The point is that I don't understand it either, just to let us relax, and use more body language to cooperate with the performance, I don't know the rest." ”
Zhu Yilong was also very helpless, and he looked at the other people with a blank face.
At this time, Xu Dongdong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask the director." ”
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Zhu Yongteng, the oldest, stood up and took the lead, and went to the director to ask clearly, after all, this is related to their later performances.
At this time, He Fang was discussing the camera position of the next shot with Jiao Guoxiong and Kuang Shubo in front of the monitor, and directing the lighting and art through the monitor.
When He Fang was talking about it here, he looked back and saw that these actors were all here.
"Director, you just said that you want me to remember the way of acting, what is this way of acting?" Zhu Yilong asked.
He Fang glanced at several people who were very dazed, and he scratched his hair to think about how to express it.
"Let me put it this way, because our movies can't polish your acting skills shot by shot, and a few of them are non-acting actors. This will be a very big problem, how to ensure the level of your performance. ”
When he said this, a few of them still didn't understand.
"Some people may find out why all the actors in Hollywood movies are so realistic, and they feel that their acting skills are so good. Moreover, Hollywood movies are shot very quickly, and there is no domestic situation where one shot NG has been used many times to hone acting skills. In the case that it is impossible for the director on the set to polish his acting skills repeatedly, and the acting skills of the actors cannot all be actors, how can Hollywood explain the problem of passing the acting skills? ”
"How?" Zhu Yilong asked with great interest.
He Fang smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it.
"It's simple, study acting. When I was studying acting in the United States, my teacher told us that acting is the unity of expressions, body movements, emotions, skills, and props. In other words, performance is not just performed by one face, there are others, and most of our domestic performances focus on one face to present, so how much pressure do you think about this face? Hollywood performance, on the other hand, spreads out the performance, so that when your expression is not so in place, and your emotions are not so in place, your body language makes up for your lack of expression and emotion. That way, your performance looks qualified. ”
"Wow, that's what happened. I said why do Hollywood movies see actors dancing and walking around, when in fact they are enriching their performances? Zhu Yilong said in surprise.
"That's right, that's what it is. In the same way, in order to cooperate with this rich way of acting, Hollywood movies generally like to use shots such as medium shots and panoramas, which can frame the actors' physical performances. Our domestic directors like to get close-ups, and they especially like to use close-ups of their faces to show the actors' acting skills. This puts a lot of pressure on the actors, and it also makes the actors' performances continue to NG, which makes it easy to make bad movies if the filming cycle does not reach two or three months, and the actors' acting skills will collapse. But Hollywood is different, they can make good films in 30 days, and the actors' acting skills are the same. ”
After He Fang finished speaking, a few people suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, it turned out that He Fang asked them to remember this way of performing in order to make up for their lack of performance.
"It's no wonder I see that your storyboards are all medium or small panoramas, with only a small ratio of close-ups and close-ups." Zhu Yilong nodded.
"Okay, it's okay to get it, hurry up and move on to the next shot. Remember, be sure to relax, don't be afraid to make movements, just make sure that the actions you do don't block the camera. Also, Liu Yan, don't deliberately correct your accent problem, it's okay to have a little accent. However, you have to practice the rhythm of this line, there is no inhibition and frustration, and there is no emotion in it. "Where is the right way?
"Okay, director, I know, I'll keep trying." Liu Yan nodded very studiously.
The next shooting didn't get much better, it can only be said that everyone has found the direction, and then everyone is working hard to correct it.
He Fang was also forced to use some Hollywood methods, after all, he only had a 25-day shooting cycle, and he didn't have so much time to train actors.
He had no choice but to use the medium panorama to increase the actors' body movements, which could distract the audience from finding fault.
Don't think too much about low-budget films, you will definitely sacrifice something, but a mature director has to learn to cover up the shortcomings.
In fact, the director is the same as the magician, he is quick to play, and the audience is quick to watch. The better, more realistic, exaggerated, and gorgeous the director's tricks, the more the audience will be deceived.
Although there were many problems on the first day, I still completed the tasks on the notice sheet, which can be regarded as a smooth day.
It's just that...... After the meeting in the evening, he confirmed the preparations for the next day with the photography, production, art, costume and other departments. He saw Yoo Yan come to him knocking on the door......
"Hey, Liu Yan, what's the matter?" He asked.
"Well, director, I have benefited a lot from your acting guidance today, and I am here to continue learning acting. Director, I'm a non-professional, you can teach me more acting essence. Liu Yan said, her eyes fluttering.
"......" He is a little confused, what is the situation?
It's just that before he could react, Liu Yan turned around and closed the door.
"Hey, why are you closing the door?"
"Isn't this worrying that things outside will affect you to teach me how to act, are you okay? Director? Liu Yan asked tentatively.
"Uh......" Now I understand it completely.
It turned out that he named Liu Yan today for having a problem with her performance, so she was very smart to think that He Fang was hinting at where she would go to the room at night to teach her to act......
How can this be explained? Or not explained? Or do you really teach her to act?
