147. Rocket range extension(1/3)
"Well, not bad... wait, wait, elder Sun, please take away your magical powers."
"puff……"
The girl who was still showing her elegance suddenly burst into laughter.
However, because the people around them were so curt, they seemed to be unable to catch the joke between the two of them, and seemed a little confused.
But it doesn't matter.
Xu Xin did not explain, but gave instructions to the lighting engineer:
"For the record, the lighting in this scene is exactly as it was just now."
After speaking, he waved to Gui Lunmei on the side:
"come here."
"Uh...ok."
Gui Lunmei walked over directly. After coming to his side, Xu Xin directly adjusted to the scene he had just taken.
About 45 seconds of the scene was played in front of her.
Then, Xu Xin said the first sentence:
"It's jarring, isn't it?"
"……Um."
Guilun Mei nodded:
"I behaved very poorly."
"It's not your performance that's bad, it's the unfamiliarity and timidity that makes you unfamiliar."
Xu Xin didn't mean to belittle her, and the way he spoke even seemed very gentle.
I learned this from Director Zhang.
When Director Zhang was communicating with Jay Chou, or when communicating with Yang Mi, Gong Li, or anyone else, he didn't see any harsh words. Instead, he chose to tell you what's wrong for the first time, and then you think about it yourself. If you still
No, I will tell you how to change it the second time, and you have to change it yourself. If it still doesn’t work, just calm down for a while, shoot something else first, and then come back and wait until you have adjusted your mentality, and then start shooting again...
According to his words:
"Actors are also human beings, not the director's "tool" during filming. You can't put all the pressure on the actor. Instead, you have to make adjustments to let him and our spirit be in sync with each other so that we can understand what you want to express.
Something that feels like what you asked for."
Xu Xin is very useful.
And he also asked Yang Mi whether she felt very comfortable with Director Zhang's shooting method.
Although I was a little nervous at first due to the pressure from the "big director".
But in fact, after taking a few shots and understanding the other party's communication style, you can naturally get rid of that ideological baggage.
Therefore, Yang Mi believes that Director Zhang is the kind of director who can let actors work in a very comfortable environment, instead of being like other directors, who is fine with one cut, but becomes impatient after two cuts.
CUT basically means that the nose is wrong and the nose and eyes are not eyes anymore...
Of course, this is not absolute.
Not all actors think this way, and not all directors push actors to the top every day.
But among the directors she has worked with so far, Director Zhang's directing style is definitely her favorite.
Take your time, change your thinking mentally, and let you show your most natural acting skills.
It's not like he has to pick every detail out of you, or have to follow his requirements down to the last hair.
Xu Xin continued this style, so when he spoke to Gui Lunmei, his tone was just the right guide:
"Your unfamiliarity and timidity are exactly the opposite of the confidence exuded by Lu Xiaoyu, who is as talented a pianist as Ye Xianglun in this script. Do you understand? You are different from her."
Holding the script in his hand, Xu Xin suddenly pointed at Yang Mi:
"She can pretend, just like in the scene just now. She obviously can't play, but she can use her acting skills to cover herself up..."
"..."
For no reason, Gui Lunmei felt much better.
And Yang Mi really wanted to give her boyfriend a big look...
But I can’t bear to...
A man's face must be taken care of when he goes out.
A man’s face is very valuable…
but……
Xiaoya!
Waiting for you back to the hotel!
If I don’t squeeze you into a dehydrated sponge today, your Grandma Yang will be considered incompetent!
So, she gave Xu Xin a very polite expression:
【Smile】.JPG
"She can pretend, because there is no plot in the movie where she and Ye Xianglun play four-handed music together. But you can't. According to the requirements of the script, in this section, Lu Xiaoyu and Ye Xianglun have an emotional collision and fusion through the sound of the piano. So, four-handed
When playing jointly, you must make sure that you can't play every note wrong under the camera, and you must exude a kind of confidence from the inside out that is not inferior to Ye Xianglun. Do you understand? Your biggest shortcoming is this. It's not that you play it.
It doesn't matter whether you're wrong or good, or even if you play wrong. I can find a pianist to retake the shot later, but your sense of self-confidence from the inside out cannot be replaced by others. You have to show it here. Understand me.
What do you mean?"
"...can we make up for it later?"
Gui Lunmei was suddenly startled...
"But...Chou Zhou clearly requested...to personally perform the four-handed bomb attack..."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"He is the director and I am the director?"
"..."
"Hey...Axin...I feel so embarrassed when you do this~"
"I'm just giving an example, okay?"
Xu Xin waved his hand, stared at Gui Lunmei and continued:
"If you can do it without making any mistakes, then I can use that natural one-shot to capture the feeling of the two of you communicating through the sound of the piano. But before that, you have to show that feeling first.
Self-confidence from the inside out, you understand? Only when you are confident can you have the next choice... So you have to pay attention to this. Look here..."
Under Li Pingdong's smiling eyes, Xu Xin controlled the monitor and moved backward:
"Look, he is walking to the beat of the music. He plays very naturally and casually. Look again..."
Switched the screen to "Qingyi":
"Why can she exude that kind of classical beauty from the inside out? Because Qingyi's setting is the monitor, an elegant beauty who is good at the piano. Do you understand? Don't take this piano as a constraint. First, you have to gain confidence.
Come on, to put it bluntly... think about your acting skills first, and then consider whether you can play it and whether you will make mistakes. Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
Gui Lunmei was silent, but he showed a clear expression.
Indeed, she was indeed manipulated by Jay Chou just now.
But it's not that there's something wrong with her acting skills, it's that when faced with Jay Chou's naturalness and spontaneity, she unconsciously showed a timid look because she wasn't proficient...or simply couldn't play the piano.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I got it in the wrong order.
She is "playing the piano + acting = timid", but the director told her that the correct method should be "acting + emotion - playing the piano = natural".
She did it backwards, so the effect looks completely different.
"I understand."
After receiving the advice and thinking about it instantly, Xu Xin nodded:
"Okay, let's do it again. Don't treat it as a test shoot, don't treat it as a shooting, just treat it as... playing and entertaining, understand? Let's take a look."
After finishing his words, Li Longyu, the director of photography on the side, asked:
"Do you want some lighting?"
Xu Xin waved his hand:
"No, let her find a feeling with him."
After saying that, Xu Xin winked at Li Pingdong.
Lao Jianghu nodded and silently pressed the record button.
