Compared to Liu Yifei's depressed mood that day when she was repeatedly called "Ka", the Liu Yifei in front of her now shows some confidence and yearning for the photoshoot. Wen Muye and Li Xue also expressed their expectations.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went to put on makeup and change clothes, while Wen Muye and the teachers were adjusting the machines on the set.
With Wang Bowen's composition composition, the placement and angle of each camera and each group of lights can be easily restored to the optimal situation that day.
More than an hour later, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei put on their spacesuits, put on some light makeup, fixed their hair, and arrived at the set.
"Brother and sister, you can start at any time." Wen Muye's voice came from the intercom.
After these few days of intensive training, Liu Yifei quickly got into shape.
She and Chu Xuan turned their heads and looked at each other, each nodding.
Liu Yifei's state was captured by Chu Xuan. Looking at the slightly sickly face, he felt that the next shooting scene would surprise the teachers.
Chu Xuan gave Kong Sheng a thumbs up, and Kong Sheng took the walkie-talkie to respond to Wen Muye.
Under Fumino's instructions, the scorer counted down the number of tens and then hit the board.
Following the shooting of that day, the eighth shooting of this scene officially began.
——In front of the monitor.
Wen Muye, Li Xue and Liu Yi looked at the screen, and the two people on the screen moved.
The boom lens of Mirror No. 1 is also a frontal lens looking down at a 45-degree angle.
Chu Xuan stretched out his hands to take off the protective mask. In the process of clamping the protective mask on his left arm, his eyes shrank slightly in the close-up shot, showing a slight shock. His face also stretched slightly with his eyes, like green cloth.
It really is like a galaxy in the universe.
Show shocking eyes, shocked expressions, shocking movements, all in a unified manner.
This is the same as Chu Xuan's performance that day, but it is deeper.
He displays normal human emotions, but combined with his entire body, he also exudes a faint non-human temperament.
In his understanding, this is a contrasting combination of normal emotions and pathological temperament.
With this combination, the contrast intensity was a bit stronger than what was performed that day.
"Senior brother is awesome, this clone has a stronger sense of character." Fumino gave a thumbs up.
Liu Yifei stretched out her hands to take off her protective mask after Chu Xuan. When the protective mask left her face, her eyes were obviously slowly opening, which was completely opposite to Chu Xuan's shrinking eyes.
Li Xue told her that when faced with new things, women will always react more strongly than men. He has always kept this in mind, so the changes in his expressions are more dramatic than Chu Xuan's.
.
While Liu Yifei showed a shocked look, her lips slowly opened. Although the amplitude was not large, the shocking emotion was still revealed, making Wen Muye and Li Xue feel it in an instant.
However, in shot No. 2, which is Liu Yifei’s side, the shot is a 30-degree angle shot from the oblique side with the frontal shot as the origin.
What surprised Wen Muye and Li Xue was that as Liu Yifei held the protective mask in both hands and slowly lowered it to her chest, her eyes and expressions calmed down and became calm.
The movements are shocking, but the changes in the eyes and expressions are dull. This is a mismatch between the eyes, expressions and movements under the character's arc.
If we look at Chu Xuan's performance from the perspective of professional skills, it embodies the contrast between "form" and temperament in "sound stage form". This is a high-level display of acting skills.
Liu Yifei's interpretation is the contrast between "form" and "expression" in "sound stage form expression". This is an advanced performance display.
Chu Xuan's performance was naturally a bit higher than Liu Yifei's, but compared to Liu Yifei's regular performance that day, this unconventional performance surprised them.
They are all professionals in the industry and know very well that most actors use conventional acting methods, that is, matching eyes, expressions and character movements.
Some acting schools and veteran actors have mastered unconventional acting methods, that is, showing contrast between eyes, expressions and character movements.
Because it requires breaking routines and breaking up daily habits, unconventional performance methods are difficult to master.
Just like most people express happiness with a smile, but if you let these people express happiness with calmness and make the audience believe that you are happy, the actor needs to feel that he is happy when he is calm in his heart.
It requires actors to have a strong sense of belief.
And tempering your sense of belief is a process of inner suffering, because you are working against yourself.
After not watching Liu Yifei perform in just a few days, Liu Yifei was able to do this, and Li Xue couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"This is progressing so fast." She praised.
Everyone nodded, looking at the screen with admiration in their eyes.
Shot No. 3 on Chu Xuan's side is also a 30-degree oblique side shot.
Looking at Liu Yifei through Chu Xuan through the camera, Liu Yifei clamped the protective mask in her right arm. This was Liu Yifei's last action that day. This time Liu Yifei was ahead of schedule.
At this point, they became more interested and wanted to see how Liu Yifei would express herself in the next two scenes.
In Shot No. 4, the cameraman slowly panned the camera from behind Liu Yifei to take a close-up shot of Liu Yifei's upper body, until the camera panned to the side of Liu Yifei's face. Liu Yifei slowly tilted her head to the left, and her eyes moved from left to right to calm down.
Look at everything in front of you with your eyes.
Shot No. 5, the cameraman is on the left side of Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan’s side face originally blocked Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei slowly stepped forward half a step, raised her head and looked up at the starry sky, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened her eyes.
One feels a wonderful feeling.
However, whether it is the contrast between Chu Xuan's appearance and temperament, or the contrast between Liu Yifei's appearance and appearance, this so-called beautiful atmosphere is mixed with a touch of weirdness that never goes away.
"Click!"
"Guarantee one!"
Fumino picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
Putting down the walkie-talkie, he patted his thigh, turned to the teachers and said, "It's so different from the shooting situation that day!"
Li Xue nodded heavily, with an expression of appreciation: "Compared to the shooting that day, this time Chu Xuan's character came into focus as soon as he entered the frame, and the character stood still. The unnatural feeling on Chu Xuan's body was stronger.
It manifests itself.”
"In the atmosphere of this feeling, Sissi was pulled in. Sissi expressed another unnatural feeling through the incoordination of her movements and expressions."
"Because the temperaments of Chu Xuan and Qian Qian match each other very well, the two unnatural feelings merged together in an instant, creating the unusual atmosphere we wanted."
"If it were another type of film, this unnatural feeling would make the audience nervous, but in "Hope", they are clones, and this unnatural feeling is natural."
“Very well done!”
A teacher from the directing team nodded: "It's really a good performance, especially from Producer Liu. It's beyond my expectation."
Li Lan crossed his arms and said: "Compared with the state of Producer Liu that day, there are two people. In the last shot, Producer Liu's expression with his head raised and looking up at the stars is very beautiful, but there is a kind of beauty
It’s a strange feeling, I can’t tell you exactly what it feels like, but I believe she is a clone.”
Wen Muye nodded, then sighed at Liu Yi and shook his head: "Senior sister has made really fast progress and has a deep understanding of 'forms'."
Although there are only four words in the sound table shape table, it contains a lot of knowledge, and there are countless combinations of ways to play it.
From a macro perspective, it can be summarized in two words: art.
But looking at it from a micro perspective, there is no end to learning.
The changes in the senior sister's performance over the past few days, in his opinion, have reached the threshold of an acting actor.
Previously, in his opinion, apart from the emotional scenes with her senior brother, the senior sister did not have much achievements in other aspects of acting.
The senior sister is beautiful, but how to use her acting skills to enrich her face and beautiful figure, make them personalized and complex, requires more training.
Looking at it now, he felt that the senior sister had found a way and her own way.
Just this face, supplemented by diversified acting skills, and having a partner and boyfriend with high-level acting skills like Senior Brother, this is an invincible rhythm.
The current limelight in the domestic film industry is dominated by middle-aged and older actors. Now that there are two such special and powerful actors, the domestic film industry will be interesting in the future.
"Teacher Xiao Chu taught well." Liu Yi raised a smile.
Teacher Xiao Chu, this is still a joking name on the set of "Dragon".
When Chu Xuan was still playing Murong Fu, Zhang Jizhong even praised Chu Xuan as an "artist".
Nowadays, time has passed, thousands of things are changing, Chu Xuan has also undergone earth-shaking changes, but Chu Xuan has one thing that remains unchanged, which is his unique and rich set of performance theories.
Li Xue nodded. He had heard of it. Before Chu Xuan debuted, he became a famous figure in Beijing Film Academy with his "acting skills". How could he do it without two skills?
Wen Muye told him that some of the basic training methods that Chu Xuan taught Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying on the set of "Zhu Xian" were very pioneering, very practical, and Chu Xuan's original creation.
At this point, it’s not an exaggeration to say “awesome”.
However, Liu Yifei has made such progress in just a few days and has initially mastered the methods of advanced performance. Her sense of belief has obviously been greatly improved.
Although I don’t know what method Chu Xuan used to teach Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei can make such progress in a few days, this ability is really strong.
Wen Muye told him that teacher Wang Jinsong always advised his brother to become a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, and he understood now.
Of course, Liu Yifei can make such progress, naturally due to her own hard work and talent.
In his view, talent is important, but without systematic learning, so-called talent will be slowly worn away due to the lack of accumulation of professional knowledge.
However, Liu Yifei does not attend school all year round. Although she has no choice due to filming, practical performances without theoretical knowledge will actually limit Liu Yifei's performance limit for a long time.
Without knowledge and theory, there will be no unified set of artistic ideas of its own. Every time you understand the inner thoughts of a new character, it will become messy and disorganized. This will lead to a situation where the performance is one after another, and the character will be lost as a result.
soul.
But seeing how Liu Yifei's acting skills have improved in every drama in the past few years even if she is not in school, he, like many people, couldn't figure it out at first, but later he realized that Chu Xuan was there.
In his opinion, Chu Xuan taught Liu Yifei how to act, and Liu Yifei's improved acting skills can also add to Chu Xuan's performance. The two of them also worked together on productions and learned other knowledge...
After thinking about this, Li Xue found it interesting that this mutual success path was played out by these two people.
Liu Xiaoli listened to the teachers' praise and was very pleased.
Thinking of the "crazy" state of play between these two children in the past few days, it is obvious that hard work and persistence have not been in vain.
"This time is very good! Just act the same as this time and see if there are any more changes." On the set, Kong Sheng pointed out and praised.
He was the assistant director on the scene and could not go to the multi-sided screen in front of the monitor to see the actors' all-round performance at the first time. However, he had just been watching the front-facing shots of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in the No. 1 crane shot, which was different from the previous few days.
Those shots can be said to be a huge improvement.
There are only fifteen seconds in total. According to a three-second cut, the characters need to change five times. In the fifteen-second shot just now, the character arcs of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were displayed more perfectly than in the previous days, and they were in line with the characteristics of clones.
The character design and the effect required by the current scene.
He had heard about Chu Xuan's high acting skills before, and his achievement of winning the Golden Horse Supporting Actor at such a young age also made him have high expectations for Chu Xuan.
What didn't disappoint him was that Chu Xuan's performance that day made him satisfied. Unexpectedly, his performance today was even better, which gave him some surprises.
And Liu Yifei's progress surprised him even more, and it also surprised him.
The contrasting interpretation brought about by a combination of expressions and movements every three seconds, and the dramatic tension reflected in this performance method, made him feel that Liu Yifei's performance was far beyond that of actors of the same age in the industry.
"Ready to begin." Kong Sheng gave a thumbs up to the two of them.
It took two more shots, plus three times for the first time. Counting the scenes in the past few days, the first scene, which was shot ten times in total, was finally completed.
"Click!"
"pass!"
Perhaps it was because of the approval of the teachers that Liu Yifei's condition was getting better and better. After discussion with Wen Muye and the teachers, the scene captured in the ninth shot was finally selected as the editing scene.
And as Wen Muye said "passed", Liu Yifei happily turned to Chu Xuan and stretched out a hand.
Chu Xuan reached out and gave her a high-five, and the two of them smiled slightly.
From the initial failure, to several consecutive days of playing to find the status, to the current success, it is worth being happy to reap the rewards through one's own efforts.
Through their unique way of helping each other, their experiences and inner feelings are interesting and full of warmth, and are worth recalling and continuing.
"Brother and sister are amazing!"
“Very well done!”
"good."
Under the praise of the teachers, they looked at their performance in front of the monitor, took a drink of water and took a short rest.
After Wen Muye and the teachers adjusted the machines and lights, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei prepared to perform their second scene.
However, we encountered another problem.
