Drop Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven: A Special Taste
The dance academy is not remote in the center of Haidian, and there is no need for the crew to live nearby, after all, many staff members need to take care of the old and the young, and it is convenient to do it.
Su Changqing stored the equipment in the academy, so that everyone could run back and forth every day as if they were commuting to work, although "Black Swan" was in a hurry, it seemed to be easier than many crews.
Zhou Lanhua continues to be responsible for the makeup of "Black Swan", and everyone cooperates tacitly to start filming at nine o'clock, and then work all the way in the evening.
Chen Jin is responsible for the daily wear of the character, but she doesn't know about dance costumes, so the crew also specially invited the costume designer of Beijing Dance as a consultant.
There are many revisions of "Swan Lake" around the world, and the costumes are not very uniform, although the styles are similar, but the details and materials are different.
The Northern Dance and the National Ballet of China have ready-made performance costumes, and Su Changqing was not satisfied after seeing the photos provided by Mu Mu and Liu Yufei, which was too traditional and not high-end enough, so he invited someone to specially design and customize the new dance costumes early.
Especially the dance skirt of the black and white swan is more gorgeous and beautiful, and the shooting effect will be much better.
Mu Mu and Liu Yufei both have the shape of black and white swans, and the two like the new dance costumes very much, and Su Changqing promised to send them as a souvenir when "Black Swan" was completed.
A few years ago, when he was shooting swimsuits, he also sent those bikini models to the model, and I don't know if they are still kept.
The filming went relatively smoothly, Mu Mu already had some experience in film and television acting, although he was a little nervous about the new drama, but the completion was not bad under Su Changqing's guidance.
Su Changqing has a benchmark in his heart, and the direction of guidance is very clear, specific to gestures and micro-expressions, as long as the performance is not as good as Natalie Portman, he will start again, saving Mu Mu a lot of time to figure out the way of interpretation, and also taking a lot of detours.
The high pass rate can naturally enhance confidence, and Mu Mu gradually entered the state.
Although Liu Yufei has the performance skills of Beijing Dance, has more than 20 stage performance experience, and has watched other people's plays in Siwei for two years, she has no actual film and television performance experience, and it was still a little difficult to shoot at the beginning.
It takes a process to change from the relatively exaggerated performance form on the stage, Su Changqing can only guide patiently, and his attitude is good, and Liu Yufei's performance is even worse when the pressure is high, and he takes the initiative to admit that he is stupid at every turn.
"Brother, am I a little stupid?"
"How can you be a little stupid, not stupid at all, the Japanese and Korean markets have been running very well in the past two years, how can you be stupid. ”
"But that has nothing to do with acting, if you use this technique to speak, it seems that I am really stupid. ”
After thinking about it, she added: "Ximen Xiong has an IQ of 85, and I run with him in Japan and South Korea, so I don't need to be smart for that job." ”
Ximen Xiong advertises his IQ of 85 everywhere, and he is not a good bird, but the ancestor of the genre of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Su Changqing exposed him: "Ximen Xiong is proficient in several languages, the market is running well, and he is also the two art directors of Siwei and Shenye, whether he understands art or not, at least there is nothing wrong with his appearance, and he quietly made a Korean girlfriend, which is impermeable, and he is also comfortable in handling Kanno in Japan, are you really a fool of him?"
After thinking about it, Su Changqing also added: "As long as you cheer up and act according to what I say, not only can you act well, but we also have a good hope of winning a newcomer award, and it will be much easier for you to shoot "Dragon Babu" with this experience." ”
Film performances are more demanding than TV drama performances, and TV dramas can unfold a short plot when the movie shoots a few shots, and the acting skills honed in "Black Swan" are not a problem to deal with Wang Yuyan.
Liu Yufei did not have extravagant hopes for the so-called newcomer award, but also agreed with Su Changqing's words: "This is also true, it is better to lose face in front of others than to lose it in front of you." ”
Su Changqing said that winning the newcomer award was not to coax her to play, "Thief Family" has participated in the Berlin Film Festival, and it has now been released in Japan in early April, and it has also opened the global award-winning mode, Kitano Takeshi's goal is to win at least 30 awards large and small, and fill the posters.
This is the regular routine of art films, winning awards will be released in the main market, and at the same time, a special person is responsible for continuing to win various awards, and then entering the secondary market, successful art film screening cycle is usually much longer than commercial films, three or four years are available, and the return of the trickle is also very considerable.
Otherwise, how could a shrewd person like Takeshi Kitano invest tens of millions in Jia Zhangke's films, and no one does the ironclad loss-making business, and the so-called support for new directors and the cultivation of art film talents are all nonsense.
However, the newcomer award is not nonsense, it is usually really set up to support the development of newcomers, only the first work can be shortlisted, of course Liu Yufei can't waste this opportunity.
At that time, Mu Mu won the 4th Japan Film Critics Association Best Foreign Language Film Actress with "My Sassy Girlfriend", although it was not an award, but at least it was blessed by awards, and her resume in follow-up development was not blank.
And with the passage of time, new audiences after two years may not have seen "My Sassy Girlfriend" or "You from the Star", so when winning new audiences, the awards they have won are the most persuasive.
Su Changqing won the Silver Bear Award for himself, and the best publicity is to print these records on the poster for a new film.
Not only does Liu Yufei have to work hard to win awards, but Mu Mu should also hit higher awards, and only when his acting skills are recognized can he get rid of the label of a professional idol drama household.
Although there were some stumbles, the filming was generally smooth, especially the interactive scene between Mu Mu and Liu Yufei was more outstanding.
They are too familiar with each other, and they have a tacit understanding with each word, which has a special taste.
The tacit understanding between the actors is very important, many crews do not pay attention to friendship, the actors are very unfamiliar with each other, the husband and wife and couple do not chat except for the lines, and the more extreme scenes can still be said to not know each other after filming, and the scenes that come out in this situation usually do not work well.
However, just a tacit understanding is not enough, Su Changqing is more demanding: "Temporarily let go of your good sisterly feelings, add a little charm to your eye expressions, I need heart-warming ambiguity." ”
Although Su Changqing has a bad taste, this is really not a bad taste, it is completely out of the needs of the plot.
In the play, Mu Mu has a strict mother who is extremely controlling, interfering in all aspects of her life and work, which also leads to a suspicious and sensitive personality.
There is no other social activity except dancing every day, and she will be interrogated a few minutes late when she comes home, she longs to be loved but is afraid of men and distrustful, so she adds a special affection with Liu Yufei to her fantasies.
This is the struggle of desire in the process of her blackening, after all, the black swan is lewd, and this setting has a great mental hypnosis for the heroine, or let her find a suitable reason to release her desire.
—————
Su Changqing has already agreed to delete the passion scene between the two, and if he dilutes this again, then this drama will not stand up.
Mu Mu and Liu Yufei always cooperated with the performance, and they were a little embarrassed at first: "My mother doesn't know what to think after watching it, don't think that the relationship between the two of us is really abnormal." ”
However, both of them are professional actors after all, and it will be much better once they put into creation, not to mention that such scenes do not account for a large proportion, and they can be filmed intensively.
However, there is also an erotic pas de deux that has not been danced, and it is being designed.
At the beginning of April, the filming of "Dragon Babu" started, because of the schedule problems of Mu Mu and Liu Yufei, the scene of Wu Whale Xuzhu was filmed first, and there was basically nothing to do with them.
Two days before and after, Huang Yang, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang's "All the Way Crazy" was completed, and he returned to Beijing.
