Chapter 550 Appearance and acting skills are very important
He Xin read the script once and his interest was really piqued.
Because this story explains an infatuated man's love belief from a female perspective. This is a subject he has never encountered before, and it is very novel.
When he was in school, he heard Hao Rong say that as an actor, you should always have a childlike innocence.
What is childlike innocence?
You need to be curious about some new things. Only when you are curious can you explore, and only by exploring can you have the desire and enthusiasm to create.
That's right, performance is creation, not rigid imitation.
The story tells the story of A Ming from being moved to trying hard to get it, but has been frustrated all the time. In fact, this Ah Jiu is not cold and heartless, but she is just a bait for revenge. Therefore, in the burning hatred, the woman is struggling in the confusion of love or revenge.
Of course, the woman lost her life and love in revenge, because she could only choose one thing. This is the most credible reason for all tragic love.
It is said that tragedy is the highest form of art. From this, it is not difficult to see that Teacher Yu is really literary and very ambitious. As a fledgling director, he dares to challenge the highest form of art expression.
Although the script is very beautiful and the presentation method from the female perspective is very unique. But to be fair, the story of "Love Has an Afterlife" still falls into the cliché, inverting the love between two people who have been enemies for generations and telling it in a ghostly space.
.
Movies like this with ghosts and love can't be surpassed before "The Love of Ghosts", and later there was Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui's classic "Rouge". "Love After Life" actually stands in a position that has been stood by its predecessors.
Look at the distant scenery.
You can learn from height, but can you see more scenery? Is the scenery beautiful? This requires the director's skill and the actor's performance creation.
Leaving aside Teacher Yu’s status as a rookie director, let’s talk about actors. Teacher Yu made it clear to He Xin today that she will play the lead female lead in the film, Ah Jiu.
I wrote, directed and acted, and there are many successful examples in later generations, such as Zhou Xingxing, Jiang Wen, Xu Guangtou and so on.
But when it comes to the role of the teacher, He Xin always feels a little strange. First of all, given her "advanced age" of thirty-six years old, even if she plays the role of Ah Jiu, who is eighteen or nineteen or early twenties, she still looks a little mature.
If you choose actors from the perspective of He Xin, then the first choice for this role will definitely be Zhang Ziyi. Life, love, revenge, whether it is Xin Xia in "Purple Butterfly" or Yu Jiao in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
Long, the little girl in "House of Flying Daggers", her tension, forbearance and sudden burst of emotions always make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
At the same time, Empress Zhang is younger, stronger, and more aggressive. She is more suitable for the tough, determined and persistent Ah Jiu in the script than the delicate and mature Teacher Yu.
Not to mention Zhang Ziyi's innate high-level movie face and acting skills, which are better than those of her teacher Liang Duo.
In other words, if it was Zhang Niangniang who played the role of Ah Jiu, He Xin might have just agreed without even thinking about it.
To give an inappropriate analogy, acting is sometimes like a football match. The strength of the opponent is also very important. It’s like the German team playing against the Spanish team. It’s fun for you to come and go, but if the opponent is replaced by the Chinese team
, not only is it boring, but you may also be injured by the other party's brutal actions after getting angry, which is not worth the gain.
In addition to his doubts about the teacher's appearance and acting skills, in his opinion, the script that Teacher Yu had polished for five years still had many loopholes.
For example, the hatred between the male and female protagonists is unclear, and the cause of the conflict between the two families is inexplicable. There is also love, family affection, and the relationship between humans and ghosts. How should we tell a story with so many emotions mixed together?
A strange woman will invite a ghost to chat late at night in her own yard; a wise, iron-blooded leader of horse thieves will allow his younger brother to marry the daughter of his generational enemy; a man who has worked hard to get married will suddenly become a monk and work as a wooden fish knocker all day long.
The Monk. These turns are either too blunt or just passed by, leaving people a little confused and feeling like the plot is jumping around.
This is probably a common problem among screenwriters and directors of so-called literary films. Because from their perspective, they understand it, so they think there is no need to explain it.
But don’t forget that movies are made for the audience, not to move you. This would seem too pretentious and too self-centered.
Although he has always believed that a first-rate actor is no better than a third-rate screenwriter, so he generally will not interfere with the work of screenwriters and directors. As an actor, as long as you accept the play, it means that you trust the director, and
It's time to hand yourself over to the director and let the director take control. You only need to be responsible for the performance and achieve the effect the director wants.
But after reading the script, he found that the teacher's level seemed to be somewhat different from his own. There were obvious errors and loopholes. He couldn't turn a blind eye and write them down one by one.
"Hey, stop being busy, hurry up, the show starts."
Holding a basin of freshly cut fruit, his girlfriend knocked on the study door to remind him.
"Oh, coming right away."
He Xin hurriedly wrote the last line in his notebook: Ah Jiu's sentence "The tea is cold, I'll refill it for you" appeared too often and seemed very deliberate.
He quickly got up and ran to the living room.
Today is the premiere of "New Shanghai Beach" on Beijing Channel. Although the filming of the film was completed last year, Cheng Hao has never seen the finished film, so she is particularly looking forward to it. Moreover, she especially wants her boyfriend to see what she is like in the film.
How to overpower Sun Li.
He Xin watched "New Shanghai on the Beach" in his previous life, and I remember that I had great expectations for this TV series at that time. After all, the Hong Kong version of "Shanghai on the Beach" I watched when I was a child was really the memory of a generation. The little fresh meat version of Fa Ge,
The powerful Lu Liangwei, the innocent Zhao Yazhi, and the unknown but charming Fang Yanyun.
People's aesthetics are probably innate. I remember that he was not yet developed at that time, so I really hoped that Fa Ge could be with the charming Fang Yanyun instead of the pure Zhao Yazhi.
It can be seen that since he was a child, he has already established his aesthetic taste of being flirtatious and frivolous.
In his previous life, he watched TV series. Like most viewers, he just watched the plot and the fun. He didn't pay much attention to the actors' performances. He only knew which characters were lovable and which ones were annoying. After watching it, he often recalled a few characters.
It left a deep impression on you. Only then did you vaguely realize that what impressed you so much was actually the good acting.
Therefore, some actors in later generations say that they are not popular because their acting skills are not up to par and they cannot leave an impression on the audience.
After watching "New Shanghai", he was a little disappointed because the original version was too classic. It's not very disappointing, just a little disappointing, which shows that this drama still has merit. But when it comes to actors, he can give him
But the only impressions left were probably Li Xuejian's Feng Jingyao and Fang Yanyun, who he couldn't name at the time but only knew Huang Yiyi's role.
Of course, now he knows that the Chinese actor Fang Yanyun in the original version of "New Shanghai Beach" is Chen Shu, his old classmate from the Chinese Opera College class. Now she is a Mandarin actor. In the past two years, she became a hit with the role of Huang Yiyi in "The Conspiracy"
As for Hong. It’s just that she has been popular for a relatively short time, and her name has not been heard much in the past two years. However, her acting skills are indeed good. Among all the female students in the junior college class, her results were considered to be the most outstanding.
Beijing TV broadcasts two episodes a day, and the main characters appear one after another. Fang Yanyun, played by Cheng Hao, only has a glimpse in these two episodes, but it is enough. In terms of appearance, there is no suspense about Chen Shu, who has short legs in the original version.
The charming manner in which she moved her hands and feet made the young Sun Li unable to catch up with her.
Although he had watched his girlfriend's performance live during the filming, as soon as Fang Yanyun, played by his girlfriend on TV, appeared on the stage, he raised his thumbs and praised: "What a great performance!"
After all, compared to watching live shooting, the scenes broadcast in TV series are more intuitive.
The actors themselves knew whether their performance was good or not during filming, so Cheng Hao was quite confident in his role as Fang Yanyun.
But when I heard my boyfriend's praise, even though I was very proud of myself, I still hummed on the surface: "Don't flatter me blindly. Just flash the camera. What flowers can you see?"
"No no no!"
He Xin waved his hand and said seriously: "To see whether a character is good at acting, you must first look at the appearance. Your appearance instantly establishes the character Fang Yanyun, and that is enough."
As he spoke, Feng Chengcheng played by Sun Li appeared on the screen, so he pointed at Sun Li on the TV screen as a negative example and said: "Look at Sun Li, her appearance is not very good, although her clothes look very good."
She is expensive, but her overall temperament still favors Xiaojiabiyu. Moreover, her performance is superficial and incomparable to you."
"Really or not?" Cheng Hao couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Of course He Xin has the intention to please his girlfriend, but the premise is that the girlfriend really looks very good. As long as the look is good, and with Cheng's good acting skills, he will naturally be able to control this character well.
"Don't say you can't see it? Otherwise, your two years of postgraduate study will be in vain." He Xin glanced at her and said.
"Who says I can't see it? In fact, your good sister's acting was mediocre at first, but the subsequent scenes were pretty good. At least she didn't have any stage fright in the scene opposite Teacher Li Xuejian, which is very good. You know
The first time I acted opposite Mr. Li, I was led astray by his rhythm without even realizing it, which is very embarrassing to say."
He Xin was surprised that his girlfriend was able to speak for Sun Li today, and it was not easy for him to continue, so he followed the topic of Teacher Li Xuejian and said: "You were led astray by Teacher Li's rhythm. What's so shameful about this? There is a chance."
You should be honored to act with Teacher Li."
In his mind, Teacher Li Xuejian's acting skills are definitely considered to be of the highest level. When the two braid dramas of March River were aired, everyone praised Jiao Huang and Chen Daoming, thinking that the Kangxi they played was amazing.
