Chapter 797 Details of a mask

"I have no money, and my goods are not selling well."

When the old man heard this, he shook his head, turned around and walked out of the store.

These things have nothing to do with him, and there is nothing he can do about them.

"Hey, have you put the batch of oil and medicine I gave you last time at your inn?"

"Stop it." The old man looked at Cheng Yong and said, "No one uses it. Now everyone brings their own, and they all use brand-name ones. Yours is already an old model and is not popular."

"I've used that thing of yours before, but it didn't work."

After saying that, the old man opened the door and left.

"Isn't it effective?" Cheng Yong murmured to himself, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "That's because you're not good at it. You're already an old man, how effective can it be?"

"If you become a young man, it won't be an aphrodisiac, it will be an elixir!"

"Click!"

The assistant director shouted stop, the filming of this scene was finished.

During the performance, the two actors were extremely familiar with their acting skills, so they passed it in one go without making any low-level mistakes such as forgetting their lines or failing to pick up each other's words.

Talented actors generally rarely make such low-level mistakes, unless it is some comedy, where certain words and scenes may really make the actor's emotions stop laughing for a while.

Usually this kind of scenes that are not very difficult are done over and over again.

This may not necessarily be the case if you switch to a popular star. First of all, there is a problem with the lines. Some people are not familiar with the lines. They can rely on post-production dubbing and reading the numbers during live shooting.

I can't even do the most basic things well, let alone acting.

Just let Chen Mubai's desolate look just now be played by a popular star, and it would be impossible to achieve that look. At most, the look can only be similar in appearance.

Maybe the styling is not good enough. Popular celebrities and idols have a heavy burden, and some tragic scenes will require them to keep their handsome appearance. It is impossible to be like Chen Mubai, who doesn't care about appearance at all.

In the original movie, Cheng Yong frowned and said this with a helpless expression.

But Chen Mubai himself made modifications here, using his own understanding to deduce his understanding and performance of the current situation of the characters.

You can't say which one is good or which one is bad, it's all about the actor's perception of the character.

If anything, it can only be judged by the audience.

Chen Mubai didn't think that his understanding was necessarily correct. He could perform both methods, and then let everyone see the effect and choose one version for voting.

"Let's do the next scene." The assistant director looked at Chen Mubai to see what his opinion was.

Chen Mubai is the director, and all decisions are made by him. The assistant director thinks that this scene was shot very well, so he can skip this scene and shoot the next scene.

Chen Mubai watched the scene he had just performed and said, "Do it again."

"You're still here?" the assistant director said in surprise: "You performed very well."

"I want to change the method to see the effect." Chen Mubai said.

"good!"

"Come on, don't move the scene, let's do another one!"

"First scene, first shot, second time, action!"

Chen Mubai changed his expression method and used a different mentality to perform and speak in a different tone.

"Again?"

"You just performed very well!"

Some people don’t understand why Chen Mubai had to do it again. Why he had to shoot it twice when he could obviously do it in one shot.

"Are Chen Mubai dissatisfied with his performance just now? In my opinion, it is already perfect!"

"Perhaps this is the reason why the quality of each of his films is very high, and it is this attitude of seriously pursuing perfection." The middle-aged capable actor praised.

"Hey, although the lines haven't changed, the tone has."

When everyone watched Chen Mubai perform with a different mentality, they noticed a change.

"Yeah, I still feel like a down-and-out middle-aged man. He doesn't seem to have changed much, but there has been some change."

After watching it, the middle-aged actor breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The first kind of performance is more inward interpretation. In fact, it means more eyes and facial expressions, exuding that decadent temperament from the inside out."

"The second type puts more emphasis on tone and action, and the lines are more exclamatory."

"The difference is that the first kind of performance is more restrained, and some viewers may not notice his true inner emotions, while the second kind of performance is more intuitive, and everyone can know his state through his tone of voice."

"The first kind of performance is suitable for judges, that is, insiders, and the interpretation is deeper. The second kind of performance is for the public and is broader."

"So that's it..." The newcomers suddenly realized.

They watched the scene very actively and absorbed other people's explanations.

This play uses a lot of extras. Chen Mubai gave some newcomers to the company the opportunity to make guest appearances. He also hoped to give them some practical experience, which would be beneficial to their subsequent training in the company.

For these newcomers, the wonderful performances of their seniors are the best material, which can give them a deeper understanding of performance and improve their own performance talents.

Acting is also a combination of theory and practice. If you don’t understand the expression of the character’s emotions and behaviors required in a play, how can you express the character’s state?

Only by first pondering the thoughts and understanding the character's behavior can we then imitate and deduce according to this state.

Just like the crying scene, it's very simple. Just open your mouth and scream, and then shed tears. Anyone can do it.

There are many types of problematic crying scenes, not to mention happy crying and sad crying.

There are several types of sad crying, heartbreaking crying, silent crying...

The expressions are also different. Some crying scenes require a hoarse performance, while others do not change the face, but tears will flow from the corners of the eyes.

Different expressions represent the character and behavior of the character. It does not mean that the more painful the expression, the greater the sadness. The kind of crying that is more sorrowful than heartbreaking usually has no expression, because the emotion explodes in the heart.

But this kind of expressionless crying is different from crying with dull facial expressions that cannot be performed. The audience can feel it personally.

This is the difference in performance ability. Although they both cry expressionlessly, the emotions expressed are actually very different.

This is the difference between powerful actors and ordinary actors, and also the difference between powerful stars and popular stars.

Just like the martial arts realm mentioned in martial arts movies, the first level: looking at mountains is mountains, looking at water is water.

The second level: looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water.

The third level: Look at mountains or mountains, water or water.

The first level and the third level have the same meaning, but they are different.

The first level is a simple understanding and cognition, and then expressing it. The second level is after a lot of practice, understanding and cognition, having a deep understanding of a certain aspect and knowing the principles, and then expressing it.

to express.

To put it simply, it is from beginner to proficient.

The third level is a return to nature. The performance has reached a state where it can be contracted freely. It has a deep understanding of the science of performance and has a thorough understanding of it, so it has become more advanced in processing and returned to the origin.

Even though the appearance of the performance is the same as the beginning, the core is completely different and the emotions contained in it are completely different.

The third level is the third level of penetration, which is a higher level than mastery.

Everyone needs to go through a journey, the experience of going through these three levels.

If you want to run before you can walk, it will definitely not work.

For them, Chen Mubai's performance belongs to the third level, so they still need to integrate it step by step to realize this realm.

You can't learn by just watching, but it will give them more experience and understanding, so that they can think more about and improve their acting skills.

After the second pass, this time Chen Mubai did not ask for another shot, but went to the next scene to continue shooting.

As long as there are no problems with the performance and scenes, there is no need to keep filming. The pursuit of excellence also depends on the specific quality. If it reaches the standard and continues filming, it is a waste of time and energy.

The next scene is about the background introduction of Cheng Yong and his miserable life.

It can be said that the first half of his life was basically ruined. No wonder he started in such a bad start. This kind of thing would happen to anyone, and he would even be unable to recover.

Soon, the drama reached a turning point.

Lu Yiyi brought a foreigner to find Cheng Yong, hoping that he could go to the United States for purchasing on his behalf.

The reason why they chose him was because the Viagra and divine oils he sold were produced in the United States, and they thought he had purchase channels in the United States.

It is definitely much better to find someone who is familiar with the United States than someone who has never been to the United States!

Moreover, Cheng Yong himself is also poor, so it is possible for him to do this.

"Are you ready?"

"ok!"

All the crew members responded loudly with gestures, and the actors were ready to finish.

"Put on the mask."

Chen Mubai saw that there was nothing wrong with actor Lu Yiyi's makeup. He was very thin in stature, with a sallow complexion and thin skin. He looked a little weak, like a patient, but he was not wearing a mask.

"ah?"

Chen Mubai's words made everyone look over.

"In the setting, Lu Yiyi suffers from leukemia, and it is difficult to successfully treat it at his level. This is why I asked Zhongli to lose weight."

"A person who suffers from a disease must be thin and weak. Because of this, he himself also knows his physical condition. These patients are very sensitive. When he meets others, he will definitely wear a mask to cover himself, which is also harmful to others.

A kind of protection.”

"In the subconscious mind of these patients, they know that they are patients and are different from ordinary people. They will shrink themselves and minimize encounters with others. This is a kind of inferiority complex."

"That's it." Everyone suddenly realized.

After hearing Chen Mubai's explanation, everyone understood that a mask reveals the heart of the patient.

If you think about it carefully, it seems like this.

After all, leukemia is not an ordinary ailment, but a patient in the middle and late stages. After a period of torture, the mentality will indeed change.

Put yourself in their shoes, I'm afraid it would be the same if they were in their shoes.

Everyone admires Chen Mubai even more, especially those new generation actors who have only heard of Chen Mubai's famous name before and know a series of things about him that make them admire him.

Only after actually working with him did I realize that no one's success is accidental. The meticulous observation of characters and certain groups is something that can only be discovered after a long period of accumulation.

His rapid success is inseparable from high-quality scripts, but these high-quality scripts are the product of his careful observation and writing. No matter how hard you work, you will gain something.

"So, outsiders only see Chen Mubai's brilliant achievements, but they don't know the sweat and hard work he put in behind the scenes!"

At this moment, many newcomers admired Chen Mubai even more.

Being able to remain true to one's heart and produce conscientious works after becoming so famous, instead of relying on fame to make money, is worthy of everyone's admiration.
