Chapter 55 Process
On the fourth day after the transition, Xu Rong received good news. He, Xu, was shortlisted for the 24th Golden Eagle Award for "Audience Favorite Actor Award" for "The Secret Wave of the Yangcheng"!
Although fourteen people were shortlisted together, the nomination itself is a kind of affirmation. According to the old habit of two to four winners of the Golden Eagle Award, he may still have a certain chance to touch the Golden Eagle Trophy this year.
Even if he fails to win the award in the end, nomination is a process of accumulating qualifications. If he nominates three or five times in a row, even if the judges work hard every year, in years when competition is relatively uneven, they will have to exchange him for a trophy.
In fact, with the sweeping of "Chuangguandong" at the beginning of the year, he also saw the situation of several grand prizes clearly, and his hope of winning the prize this year was almost zero, but as long as Li Youbin won the prize, he would definitely be able to touch the trophy.
Whether it is the emergent "Soldier Assault", or the popular "Golden Wedding", "Struggle" and "Yangcheng" that are popular across the country, the audience group is not that wide.
In addition to the convention, the main theme occupies a place, and there is no accident that he is hammered out.
As for the Golden Eagle TV Festival as the finale of the most popular actor award, he has no fantasy. If there is no surprise, this award will be selected from Zhang Guoli, Li Youbin, Tong Dawei and Wang Baoqiang. Considering that Zhang Guoli had won the last session once and "Struggle" was seriously out of reality, the final candidates were Li Youbin and Wang Baoqiang.
These complicated news did not have much impact on his life and work.
He only has so much energy, and he has to put more energy on the set.
Zhang Shaohua's mother played Niu Xianhua's mother in the play had few scenes against him, but after filming a scene, he saw a rare scenery in the past.
Xu Rong was originally quite confident in his performance without lines. Although he thought he could not compare to Li Xuejian's wonderful performance in "Hitting the Wrong Car", he estimated that even among the older generation of actors, he should be able to be average. He also understood that there must be a gap between himself and Zhang Shaohua, but he never thought that the gap would be another matter.
Zhang Shaohua's performance style is completely different from those from the ones from the academy. It looks very similar to the one in the performance school. It is full of skills, but there are almost no traces of skills. It only has one play, eyes, expressions, and body movements that are like flowers. He is so dazzling that he can't catch his head. Yan Ni and Liu Changsheng, who have been talking lyrics in a comprehensive expression, can't raise their heads at all.
Xu Rong only saw the pure skill performance once before when Li Xuejian created "Feng Jingyao". He has never tried it half a time until now. He has always been honest and step-by-step in his heart. He has taken two steps to express externally because it is too risky to act with his own understanding. If he is not careful, he will lose his life.
After reading this, Xu Rong was a little crazy. He believed that it was a very painful process in his heart. The advantage was that it was really useful, because no one could expect a beginner who was not skilled in skills to comprehensively integrate all aspects of expressiveness and fully shape a character.
The disadvantages are naturally quite obvious. When he cannot establish a three-dimensional character in his heart, it seems extremely embarrassing. Just like in the early days of his previous filming of "The Delusional Love", the engine was gone and standing in front of the camera, he naturally lacked the performance confidence he should have.
Zhang Shaohua's performance style is very attractive.
The tempting Xu Rong even wanted to try it himself, but soon, he forced the rash thought to suppress it.
There is no clear dividing line between expression and experience. Just like him, if he really fails in the process of inner experience, he will habitually use method-based techniques to replace objects, and external expression techniques are basically common. As for whether he can use expression methods to shape a character, the first thing he depends on is the degree of mastery of performance skills.
Experience is based on one's own substitution into the role, rationalizing the character's behavior, while performance is based on strong control and maintaining one's own self-cultivation, and in this process, too much is as bad as too much.
When Chen Baoguo was filming "The Ming Dynasty", he always had a honest inner experience. He felt that he was far worse than Chen Baoguo. Once he failed, he would immediately smash it.
Let’s talk about it after the comprehensive evaluation comes to S-.
Until this time, Xu Rong understood Li Xuejian's original intention to take on the role of "Feng Jingyao". His ambitions were really great. And judging from the later results, Li Xuejian did achieve his ambitions and completed the leap from one performance system to another.
Surprise is not just Zhang Shaohua's performance.
Another not-famous actor in the crew also gave Xu Rong a great surprise, Ding Yongdai, who played the role of Zhuang Hong'an.
Ding Yongdai has fewer scenes and no fame. Xu Rong has never heard of this middle-aged man with a national face before, but after watching a scene with Yan Ni, he once again confirmed the idea of watching Hou Tianlai performing during the filming of "Stepfather".
Fame and business ability are not equated.
Ding Yongdynas' dramas did not have major emotional ups and downs, which really tests the basic skills of actors, because whenever scenes such as crying and laughing require emotional outbursts, the actors themselves will pay more attention to them and make more preparations. Therefore, the emotional outbursts of most actors will be more accurate than usual.
As for some people who are still below the passing line when they are emotionally outbreaks, they are actually beyond their normal level, but the normal level of those people is too low.
Ding Yongdi's performance was very smooth, and it gave Xu Rong the feeling that it looked real.
The most difficult thing in performance is often the most common, because the audience is too familiar with it. The audience can tell whether the actor looks like it or not at once when he opens his mouth.
After the transition, compared with the previous shooting, the only thing that is thankful is that the basic conditions have improved a lot.
The crew rented a restaurant in the city to focus on filming some mid- and late scenes. Compared with the outdoor scene, at least there was a place to sit when eating. It was not like before. A group of people lined up and squatted on the ground for a meal and dealt with it.
"Mom, I'll tell you a way to buy things, clothes, cosmetics, and pots, pans and the pots, pans and so on from the Internet, which are very cheap." Yan Ni and Zhang Shaohua were chatting, but they didn't know which sentence they started, and they talked about the current price increase.
Zhang Shaohua took out a hand towel from his pocket and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to use that. I don't usually go online. You may be laughing at me. For example, the pants I'm wearing for 15 yuan. I have been wearing them for more than ten years, and they are not torn or rotten. I can still wear them. I can't buy much stuff, just that. I have to prepare more clothes for two different clothes, otherwise the recording may not be very good during the audition."
"And, there are places where money is used everywhere."
Yan Ni and Masus looked at her incredibly surprised, because it was too incredible for them, whether it was the price of fifteen yuan or the time to wear it for more than ten years. Zhang Shaohua is an old actor and should have saved a lot.
Xu Rong was not surprised. Not only Zhang Shaohua, but also Bai Zhidi in the group, just like his grandfather's Zhongshan suits, the edges and corners were worn out, and he never said he wanted to throw them away.
"It looks different now than before, but it's not much different." Liu Changsheng explained with a smile. "In the past, when we were filming, we didn't have as much pay for one episode now. But the good thing is that we only appeared on the screen, even if we were one episode, so we always tried every means to show our face in every episode. Later, we started to count more than five episodes, and some fifteen episodes were counted as one episode. In recent years, we have been packing it up by the volume of scenes or by the shooting time. The pay seems to have increased, but in fact, for us old guys, it has not increased much."
"But as soon as you pack it up, time is fast. Sometimes if there are too many shows, you have to hire an assistant to help you rehearse the show, and the expenses will come up."
Xu Rong nodded. He had not taken over the scenes that had paid for the film. This calculation method is currently mainly seen in the contracts of middle and lower-level actors in the TV drama industry. As the leading actors of the main creators, under normal circumstances, basically no one will play the show, and almost all the teams are involved.
After a busy day, it was another big night at night. Compared to before, the weather is not much warmer than when I first started shooting. When I stayed up late, it was not that cold. I could just find a corner to lie down in a military coat.
"I have to stay up late again. Every time I finish it, I feel like I'm ten years older." Masus complained weakly.
"Oh, it's really hard for the teachers in our group. I calculated it. After opening the photo, I have almost half of the days I stayed up late, which made my menstrual period unpredictable." Yan Ni sighed and continued.
As the filming entered the middle, Xu Rong began to envy Sun Lilai in her fatigue. She only took one drama every year, which means that she could have almost half of the time to rest and had a good rest time.
When he was idle, he also considered the reason why he suddenly became so tired of filming?
Ultimately, it is the impact of capital influx.
I joined the crew to film before last year. Although I was also hard due to the harsh objective conditions, I did not try my best to catch up with the construction period like "North Wind".
Since he joined the group, he had to go to the big night every two or three days, and sometimes he had to wait continuously, and then he had to rest for three or four hours to continue working. As the first male, he basically couldn't escape even if he went back.
It can be predicted that this situation will become more and more common in the future. After all, directors like Zhang Li are a minority. A TV series is planned for half a year. Any investor will be trembling when he sees the budget.
Three parts.
Xu Rong set a standard for himself in his heart. He can play the main creator at most three dramas every year. Whether the body can eat or not is one aspect. The most important thing is that once the energy cannot keep up, the decline in the state will inevitably occur.
Moreover, he himself doesn't like to use a substitute. Although his physical expression is weak, it is compared with other aspects of himself.
But to be honest, as actors, they are not more tired. The most tired are the staff of each group. The actors spend most of their time waiting, but for example, the photography group, the lighting group, and the prop group, every time they stay up late, they are busy from dawn to dawn, and they just find a place to lie on the corpse. They are also the more hard-working extras.
"Teacher Xu, how are you doing?"
Before the shooting began, Xu Rong looked at the chair in front of him and turned to a seventeen-eight-year-old waitress not far away and said, "Waiter, please bring two more stools to come over."
"Ah?" The waiter didn't move, but looked at him with a strange look.
Xu Rong looked at the waiter's reaction and was stunned for a moment. He turned around and found that many people in the surrounding team were looking at him in surprise. Therefore, he subconsciously asked softly: "What's wrong? Did I... say something wrong?"
After a brief silence, a cheerful laugh broke out on the set.
Seeing Xu Rong's face full of confusion, the photographer said with a smile: Teacher Xu, you are crazy, the waiter teacher... don't call him the teacher."
Xu Rong then suddenly realized that what he said was wrong. In the group, no matter whether he knew him or not, he would definitely be right to call him "teacher". After a month of shooting, it has almost become a habit.
On the other hand, he didn't put too much attention outside the show. In addition to shooting time, he spent more silent time than talking, and most of the time in his mind was the next scene.
The crew gradually talked more and more, especially the few leaders in the group. During the filming interval, they would take the initiative to arouse the words they are interested in. At this time, everyone is very tired, but the more tired you are, the more you have to pry your mouth open and let them speak, because in extreme fatigue, even if you are dead, your emotions will collapse.
After working all night, when it was dawn, Xu Rong dragged her sleepy body back to the hotel, took off her makeup, and didn't even take a shower, so she went to bed and slept for five hours.
Because there was no notice today, he did not go to the set with the crew, but called Xu Xing over to prepare for tomorrow's scenes.
Xu Xing walked into the door, looked at Xu Rong with a tired face, and advised: "Brother, should you take a break today? There is no notice tomorrow morning, so we can schedule another schedule tomorrow morning."
Xu Rong shook his head and said, "You can't think so. Do you know why big directors are prone to producing fine works?"
Xu Xing said naturally: "The great director is very good."
“Where is it high?”
Xu Xing blinked and said, "This... I don't know."
"It's because the big directors can suppress the actors." Xu Rong said with a smile, "Why are some popular actors performing very well in a drama, and some can't watch it at all? Because when they meet big directors, they dare not ask for leave from the director frequently, and the schedule is quite dense, and there are scenes to shoot every day. In this case, they can always ensure a similar state."
"So during the shooting period, especially when there is no announcement, you have to spend some time preparing for the next drama every day. Familiarity is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is for the sake of state."
Xu Xing smiled and said, "I understand."
