Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh slag and burst
This is the story of a family of four. My parents, like many uncles and aunts around me, are people who came from Shanghai to support third-line construction.
Qinghong did not go to college and had to go to a technical school in the factory. She also has a younger brother who is in elementary school at home.
Twenty years have passed before our eyes, and our parents spent the most precious time of their lives here. However, with the reform and opening up, people's hearts are moving, and many families are beginning to think of ways to return to their hometown in Shanghai, where they can live.
Being familiar with and longing for the living environment is their roots and can also give the next generation a better future.
Qinghong's parents were particularly eager for this idea.
They hope that their daughter will study well and be admitted to college, and they hope that their son will learn piano and develop a skill, so that the family can return to Shanghai with dignity.
However, Qinghong does not understand her parents' wishes. She and her partner were born and raised here, and this is everything she remembers in her life. In Qinghong's heart, this is her home, where she has the fun of childhood and sincerity.
friendship, and the first love that is hard to let go of in the young heart - Xiao Gen, a young man from a local farmer's family who has just joined the factory as a temporary worker...
The beautiful love in the daughter's heart is the biggest obstacle in the father's eyes.
Xiao Gen, who had just started working, saved up two months' salary and bought a pair of beautiful red high heels for Qing Hong, and secretly stuffed them into the drawer of Qing Hong's desk.
Qinghong saw the shoes and felt excited and liked them. With the encouragement of her friend Xiaozhen, she put on high heels and walked around happily, but her father happened to see her.
In this scene, the father escorted Qing Hong home wearing red high heels, and a fierce conflict broke out between the father and daughter.
The on-site camera locations, props, scenery, and extras were all OK. The actor who played Qinghong’s mother was washing vegetables outside the kitchen, with only her back exposed in the camera, while the younger brother was sitting at the door, reading the music score and playing with it.
accordion.
"Okay, everyone is in position——"
"A!"
This is a long shot, at a three-way intersection on a high slope in the distance, Gao Yuanyuan, wearing a dark red plaid jacket, blue trousers, carrying a schoolbag, holding a black umbrella in one hand, and black flat shoes in the other, walks from
The side road turned to Qinglong Road. What caught people's eyes was the pair of red high heels on her feet, which were very trendy and fashionable at the moment.
Yao Anlian was wearing a blue khaki tunic suit that was very common in that era. He was carrying an artificial leather bag in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. His back was slightly bent and he was following behind swayingly.
Experts can tell if there is one as soon as they stretch out their hands. Looking at Yao Anlian's walking style, it will make onlookers feel very natural. At first glance, they are countless ordinary people like this on the streets of that era.
On the other hand, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little awkward because she was wearing a pair of red high heels that did not match her clothes. However, this awkwardness should be a true portrayal of the situation at that time. It was just that she walked too smoothly and the pace of wearing high heels was too high.
Being modern adds to the awkward feeling of mismatch, rather than the sense of age that the characters want to show.
He Xin squatted next to Wang Xiaoshuai and looked at the picture on the monitor. Sure enough, from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Wang Xiaoshuai also frowned slightly at this time, but he did not stop and continued filming.
As the people in the picture get closer, you will find that the owner wearing trendy red high-heeled shoes does not have any joy on his face. On the contrary, his mouth is slightly pouting, and his eyebrows are a bit worried. He is walking in a hurry, passing by a place.
When there was an uneven place, I suddenly stumbled slightly, as if I was not used to wearing high heels.
When He Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh silently. It should be said that Sister Yuanyuan has worked very hard on the design of this action, but it feels very deliberate and unreal, and it seems to be fake at first glance.
Sure enough, at this time, Wang Xiaoshuai shouted: "Stop!"
Then he turned back and glared at the man who was smiling unkindly, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
When Gao Yuanyuan heard the director shouting to stop, she obviously realized what the problem was and said with an annoyed look on her face: "I'm sorry, I didn't handle this action well just now."
"Not only is this movement not handled well, but you also need to pay attention to the way you walked before. You have to find the feeling of wearing high heels for the first time." Wang Xiaoshuai expressed his opinion through the intercom.
"Uh, I got it, director, I'll try again." Gao Yuanyuan's voice was obviously lacking in confidence.
Wang Xiaoshuai is not the kind of director who is good at training actors, but what makes him better than Lou Ye is that he can point out the problems, instead of being silent like Lou Ye and asking you to do it again and again.
However, even if Wang Xiaoshuai pointed out the problem with Gao Yuanyuan's performance, the effect was still not obvious. As a result, it could only be repeated over and over again. Just one shot was shot seven or eight times, and it still could not achieve the effect Wang Xiaoshuai wanted.
To be honest, although Gao Yuanyuan's role as the 19-year-old Qinghong is a bit old-fashioned, her cold and ascetic expression when her face is paralyzed should be said to be particularly suitable for the character of Qinghong. This is probably why Wang Xiaoshuai can't wait for Wang Ruodan's schedule
, the main reason why I still chose her in the end.
But the problem lies in the acting. The handling of various details always feels deliberate, unnatural and out of place.
Just like her previous starring role with Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", it stands to reason that with her perfect ancient costume and her relatively tall stature, her appearance almost completely outshines Jia's short legs.
Jing Wen. It’s a pity that Sister Yuanyuan still loses in her acting skills. Similarly, in her scenes opposite Su Youpeng, one was enjoyable to watch, while the other was very embarrassing.
It's not a shame, but Jia Jingwen's acting skills should be quite good among many Wanwan actresses.
He Xin kept squatting next to the director and staring at the monitor. At the beginning, he was still picking on Gao Yuanyuan's faults, but after watching it twice, it became boring. I have to say that Yuanyuan's performance is really nothing.
Talent always makes mistakes again and again.
Because this was a complete long shot, no matter which detail went wrong, he had to start over from the beginning. Gradually, he was attracted by the performance of Yao Anlian who was following behind.
It should be said that Lao Yao is quite unlucky. There is nothing to criticize about his performance, but because of Gao Yuanyuan, he can only accompany her again and again.
And every time because of the changes in the surrounding extras, he has to deal with the details. For example, if an extra walks towards him, he will subconsciously glance at it like a normal pedestrian, and then quickly look away. Follow
Behind Gao Yuanyuan, he would glance at her back from time to time. At that time, he had an expression of bitterness and hatred, but he had to be careful at all times to prevent the people around him from noticing this expression.
.
It fully interprets the image of a middle-aged man who is worried about his daughter, hates iron and loves face.
Lao Yao was very dedicated, and kept coming with him over and over again, without any expression of impatience on his face. There were a few times when Gao Yuanyuan felt embarrassed and said a few words to him, and then he would grin.
He smiled and waved his hands to show that he didn't care. He was not affected by the emotions of the characters in the play at all, a typical methodist.
Also, He Xin discovered that Lao Yao was a bit of a thief. He followed Gao Yuanyuan over and over again. He Xin didn't believe that he couldn't see the problem, but he never took the initiative to point out to him the problems in his performance.
of problems.
To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is just a wise act of self-preservation. The industry has always been complicated, especially for a non-famous actor like him. Sometimes it is really embarrassing. The other party just appreciates the favor, but if he doesn't appreciate it, it will only be a thankless task.
It's just that in He Xin's memory, as the old Yao grew older, he began to let himself go. After filming the movie version of "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", when reporters interviewed him about his evaluation of the TV series version of "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", he openly dissed
An actress surnamed Sugar needed to improve her acting skills, so she was attacked by fans of the actress and almost became autistic.
Therefore, it is embarrassing to think that a scumbag with acting skills like a certain sugar can actually replace Sandra Bullock in "Local Attraction".
"stop!"
For the tenth time, when Sister Yuanyuan stumbled awkwardly again, Wang Xiaoshuai finally couldn't hold it back and shouted stop again.
At this moment, he took off his headphones and said helplessly: "Take a ten-minute break and let the actors adjust."
Then when I turned around, I saw someone still squatting there happily. I suddenly got angry and cursed: "Look at you, you are so heartless. You usually call Sister Yuanyuan so affectionate, why are you so affectionate?"
I never thought of helping others!"
"Well……"
He Xin was stunned for a moment, then he spread his hands to Wang Xiaoshuai with a grimace and said: "Director, do you think this is so helpful?"
"..."
Wang Xiaoshuai was also speechless. He took off his glasses, pulled out his sweater from under his clothes and wiped the lenses. After a while, he said with a look of pain on his face: "You said it's been so many years, how come Yuanyuan..."
Fortunately, director Xiaoshuai's emotional intelligence has improved and he finally didn't say the words "no progress".
He just vented his anger at the guy: "Have you had enough of the fun?"
"No...oh, no, I didn't watch the fun. I kept watching Teacher Yao!"
As he spoke, He Xin smacked his lips and praised: "I really admire Teacher Yao's relaxed energy. If I were to act in this scene, I would definitely not be able to achieve his effect. Almost every time
Everything has changed, it’s really eye-opening!”
"Tch, Lao Yao has been in this business for at least twenty years, so where are you?" Wang Xiaoshuai snorted.
At the same time, a trace of color flashed across his face, and he seemed to have a discerning eye.
There is nothing wrong with it at all. In Yao Anlian's 20-year acting career, this is the first time he has truly played the leading role. In this regard, Wang Xiaoshuai is indeed worthy of pride.
In fact, acting is not a mystery at all. At the same level, many things are a matter of benevolence and wisdom.
For example, later generations often see an actor's emotional outbursts and hysterical crying scenes. People often exclaim that his acting skills are explosive, and there are also some small flowers. It is rare that the little fresh meat does not make people act, and will be praised by fans.
It's like a plastic surgery performance.
Looking back now, He Xin is really speechless. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the fans or the audience, after all, they are laymen. But as actors...oh, in fact, most people who are not qualified to be called actors don't know how to read.
?
In fact, the so-called explosive acting skills, crying scenes, etc., these are the most basic things in drama school, and these are the requirements that sophomore students must meet.
The real so-called performance does not lie in the explosion of emotions or some relatively intense scenes. It is expressed through countless details.
For example, in the scene just now, it is clear that the father and daughter are going home one after another. There are no lines. It seems very simple. But what the actors need to express is the character's emotions at this time, the reaction to the surrounding environment, and the following.
Emotions that change due to changes in the other person's mood, etc., must be expressed through subtle expressions and appropriate body language.
Relaxed and natural, this is the real explosion of acting skills!
After a habitual period of divergent thinking, He Xin finally remembered, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one over.
Wang Xiaoshuai lowered his head and glanced at the cigarette case of Double Happiness in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "You are very dedicated. You are such a big shot, why are you still smoking this?"
"got used to!"
He Xin grinned, and immediately helped the director to place the order in an awkward manner, and then asked: "Director, when is my play scheduled?"
Wang Xiaoshuai took a breath of acting, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's see, if the filming goes well today, the scene will be transferred to the Mining Lamp Factory tomorrow afternoon."
He Xingyan was immediately startled and said hurriedly: "This is my first scene, and you are going to make it so big?"
"I 19" was shot here, and there are only two main scenes. One is No. 19 Qinglong Road here, and the other is the miner's lamp factory mentioned by the director.
It was the place where Qinghong's parents, her friend Xiaozhen's parents, Li Jun and Xiao Gen worked together. The scenes about the factory accounted for almost one-third of the script.
Li Jun, played by He Xin, only has one scene there, but it is the most important scene among all the scenes in the play. It is when Li Jun holds an underground dance party in the factory cafeteria and clashes with the young workers from the factory next door.
At the same time, he conquered Qinghong’s friend Xiaozhen with the fashionable dress of that era and the very popular disco.
What's more important is that the two had a passionate kiss scene when they met for the first time.
Wang Xiaoshuai said nonchalantly: "This scene is the first time Li Jun and Xiaozhen have met. I just wanted to create this sense of strangeness, so I went to the premise. Oh, by the way, have you met Yangyang?"
"Oh, I know you. I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman here!" He Xin nodded hurriedly.
The Yangyang named by the director is Wang Yangyang, who plays the role of Xiaozhen in the play. She is a short but sweet and sexy girl. She just graduated from the Military Performance Department this year. She and He Xin are fellow residents of Harbin.
.
"Fellow fellow?"
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and said, "I almost forgot that you also came from the Northeast!"
