Chapter 364: Acting Skills That Don't Need Acting Skills
Xie Jin is one of the most thoughtful directors, and he often has ideas in his head that are different from those of other directors.
Deputy Director Yu Daiqin thought about it carefully, there was no need to notify Jiang Xun, then Jiang Xun's state was the state of a monk, and if he was notified, he prepared in advance, so he was not a monk...... It's an actor.
However, this is a test of the depth of the actor's life, if he is not like a monk and has never used acting skills, then filming is to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog, just with Director Xie's temper, Jiang Xun has to bear great pressure.
"Director Yu, we also want to go and see." Li Ting found Yu Daiqin and put forward her own ideas.
"Count me in." You Yong followed.
He is a native of Xi'an, graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and has a special justice, a unique sense of mission, and a special face suitable for playing a policeman who fights against bad elements.
In addition, after years of experience, he has become more and more rugged.
His acting is natural, unpretentious, and comfortable to watch.
In 1988, he participated in his first movie "The Price of Madness" and began to enter the film and television industry. In 1991, he starred in the movie "Crazy", playing the role of Robe Rodson, the steward of the rudder.
He is almost thirty years old this year, and he has just made a name for himself in the film industry, and he is very curious about this young actor who makes Director Xie Jin full of praise, and he has long wanted to see his acting skills.
In private, he also discussed with Li Ting to see how many catties and taels Jiang Xun had.
Li Ting began to serve as a program host for Changsha TV when she was in middle school, and in 1988, she was admitted to Beiping Film Academy.
Two years later, she rehearsed the drama "Smokey Oak Tree" in the college, she played a lame old lady, and her excellent acting skills were favored by Director Xie Jin who was present.
Later, after graduating from the Performance Department of Peking Film Academy, he was assigned to Shanghai Film Studio.
This year, she is still in her junior year, but she has already known Jiang Xun, she is good friends with Chen Xiaoyi, she plays the female No. 2 A Fang among foreign girls, and she has also watched Jiang Xun's drama Mulberry Ping Chronicle.
"He is a famous drama maniac in Chinese opera......"
You Yong wants to go, she actually wants to go, she wants to see how a person who can play a madman vividly can play a monk.
"Old man, aren't you going?" The crew was in Guoliang Village, scattered at the villagers' homes to eat, and when it was time to eat, Li Ting asked Zhu Xu.
"I won't join in that fun," Zhu Xu said with a smile, "You young people go," he smiled and clinked glasses with Xie Jin......
Both of them love to drink, and they became drinking friends as soon as they joined the crew.
"If Jiang Xun plays well, Allah will invite him to eat old wine," Director Xie Jin said boldly, "I brought a box of good wine...... And he is not drunk and does not return. ”
But, director, Jiang Xun is a monk...... Li Ting smiled.
……
Taihang Mountain, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.
Jiang Xun stood solemnly with his hands folded, standing in the mighty mountain wind.
Director Xie Jin's camera had already been set up in a hall, and everyone watched Jiang Xun slowly turn around and start walking up the steps.
Strictly speaking, this is not a play in a script.
However, director Xie Jin randomly chose this scene as an available location that could also be used in the movie.
The protagonist of this game doesn't know what he is playing, Jiang Xun doesn't even have lines, he doesn't even have a straight face, he just relies on his back to show the temperament of a monk.
The shooting was taken from behind, and Jiang Xun teased the corner of the monk's robe with one hand and slowly went up.
You Yong and Li Ting followed behind Director Xie Jin, and looked up at the "monk" at the bottom of the steps. ”
Director Xie Jin was silent, he held his glasses and looked at Jiang Xun.
He has been in the world of movies for decades, and he thinks that he is from a professional background, and acting requires skills, and he also needs to be tempered on the stage in front of the camera for many years, so that there is something called acting skills.
He also believes that acting is something that cannot be fathomed, only can be understood, but it is always a technology.
If the technology is used properly, the character will naturally stand up, and if the technology is not used enough, or it is too much, the character is either like a child who has not grown up and is underdeveloped, or it is like a big man, who is in a hurry, and the character is pulled out and promoted.
However, now, the back of this young man, he doesn't need acting skills, but when he raises his hand and moves, he plays better than anyone else......
This is a kind of acting that does not require acting......
In other words, he is already a monk himself, and he is the Spiegel Master in Director Xie Jin's heart!
The audience was silent.
In silence, everyone witnessed the "Master Spiegel" entering the Buddha hall.
"What is he going to do next...... Director Xie Jin is very satisfied with the filming of Jiang Xun walking just now, Buddha nature is sufficient, a pitcher and a row of feet, the temperament of a monk is clearly visible.
"Chanting." The intellectuals in the temple clasped their hands together and replied.
At the ordination ceremony, the new monks kneel in front of the Mahavira Hall and chant sutras, everything in front of them is empty, and there is no longer any involvement in the world.
Director Xie Jin nodded, this paragraph can also be used in the movie.
He looked at the replay, and the young man was thin, really thin,
However, the young man is still handsome.
This part of today's precept chanting can be edited into a scene in the movie, which is a very ordinary daily scene of Master Spiegel, Spiegel is kneeling in front of the temple and chanting the sutra throughout the whole process, there is no explosion, and there are no complicated emotional fluctuations.
If it's really filming, let alone walking, the actors can't move, and they all rely on their eyes, voices, and head movements to perform.
Although it is ordinary, the more it tests its acting skills.
Now, Jiang Xun doesn't know that there is a camera pointed at him, and he can't act if he wants to.
"Xiao Jiang, let's look at him below, this shot can be used before Master Spiegel travels east to Japan to teach the Fa,...... I'm going to take a look, too, to see if he's done with his practice. Director Xie Jin said.
Is it true or false?
You Yong said something in passing, which caused Li Ting to roll her eyes.
But outside, the Dharma table had been set up, the Dharma incense had been burned, and the believers and monks were already standing under the stage.
I saw Jiang Xun slowly kneeling down on the futon, just looking at this dignified posture and the temperament of Yuanyu Yuezhi, Director Xie Jin couldn't help but nodded, this felt very good.
“…… When contemplating the bodhisattva of freedom and walking in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty and overcomes all suffering.
The relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true of the thought and action......"
Jiang Xun opened his mouth, this is the Heart Sutra translated by Master Xuanzang, the classical Chinese is very awkward, but he reads it fluently.
The voice is loud, like Huang Zhongdalu......
"Is his voice usually so loud, this breath, absolutely amazing." Assistant Director Yu Dailin was dressed in ordinary clothes, standing in a group of good men and women.
If this voice rests on the drama stage, it is born to be a good voice of China!
The voice is elegant,
The penetration is very strong......
Make a loud noise!
Under the stage, the abbot of Mengwu clasped his hands together and looked at the "monk" on the stage, the voice of the great Brahma king, the voice has five virtues: the first is that the sound is deep, very deep, like a big thunderstorm, which makes people wake up from a dream......
This is the voice of a monk!
Amitabha!
He's the young Spiegel!
"The camera zooms in ......" Director Xie Jin looked solemn, at this time, his heart was very pure, and the fatigue of many days was swept away in the Buddhist teachings.
Buddha-nature......
He wants Jiang Xun to show the Buddha nature, and his voice is sufficient!
“…… The Buddhas of the three worlds, according to Prajnaparamita, attained the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara. Therefore, it is known that Prajnaparamita is a great mantra, a great mantra, a supreme mantra, and an unequal mantra, which can remove all suffering, and it is true. Therefore, to say the Prajnaparamita mantra is to say the mantra: Reveal the truth, reveal the truth, reveal the truth, and the parasangha reveal the truth......"
The camera slowly zoomed in, Jiang Xun knelt on the high platform, looking down at all beings, compassion for all beings, compassion for all beings, yes, this is the kind of look in his eyes......
Buddha nature is compassion, compassion, and saving sentient beings in the fire of the world......
This performance, very good!
Natural, mellow, and also very performative, whether it is body movements, facial expressions or line tones, the details are also in place, all of which are the bearing that a monk should have!
"Give him a side face......" Director Xie Jin said softly.
