I want to make headlines

Chapter 53 Breakthrough
Newcomers are very hard, no matter what industry they are in.

Most of the people come from newcomers, so they always feel a little uncomfortable when they see a newcomer suddenly appearing in the position.

When they saw that Gan Jing didn't pass the first shot, many people felt strangely comforted.

The scene was still going on, and Gan Jing, who was slightly restrained, continued to act while Chen Kaige frowned.

The assistant director at the side was a little apprehensive. Seeing Director Chen's expression, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know that he was just looking forward to the scene behind.

The reason why he tried his best to push Gan Jing out was because of the man's eyes.

Mei Lanfang is a great artist and a gentle resister. He has a kind of pressure that he cannot afford to lose to his peers, relatives, and the times.

His confidante, Meng Xiaodong, understood him and told him not to be afraid before leaving.

His senior grandfather Thirteen Yan understood him, saying that it is not shameful to lose, but it is shameful to be afraid.

Therefore, gentleness alone cannot resist this kind of pressure.

Mei Lanfang's core must be tenacious, must have an unimaginable love for drama, must be crazy and even a little crazy.

This is Chen Kaige's thinking, and it is also the most valuable shining point he has seen in Gan Jing.

After Leslie Cheung's death, Chen Kaige once recalled that "Leslie Cheung must devote himself to the characters he plays in order to achieve such a state in performance. It is his eyes that make "Farewell My Concubine" the theme of obsession and betrayal It's all said and done."

He saw that look in Gan Jing again, and re-aware of his ambition to portray Mei Lanfang.

Li Ming is very good, he is a rare actor, and his temperament is very suitable for the status of a master, but a master not only has the gentle and elegant skin on the outside, but also has the spirit of fighting spirit.

Sitting on the seat, Chen Kaige unconsciously lost his mind. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the scene had unknowingly gone backwards.

"Crack."

He shouted Ka again, but his brows were already loosened. The smell on Gan Jing's body was very in line with his imagination, but he couldn't get it back, he had to grind it out before he could use it.

The director called to stop, and the target was a newcomer who was the protagonist.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little strange and quiet, and no one knew what the sullen Director Chen was thinking.

"Gan Jing, come here." He beckoned to Gan Jing.

Gan Jing sighed softly, and apologized to Wang Xueqi who played the role of Thirteen Swallows: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I've troubled you."

Wang Xueqi smiled and said nothing, watching the young man rushing towards Director Chen, he couldn't help being a little bit amused.

Although this scene has never been seen, Wang Xueqi, who is playing opposite him, has a taste. This person is not like a newcomer. He has a natural sense of familiarity with the position of the camera and the volume of the radio.

This feeling quickly changed from green to familiar with Gan Jing's few steps to the front, which is very strange and very interesting.

Wang Xueqi shook his head, and began to brew the feeling of his role in his heart again.

Gan Jing was a little uneasy, he came based on the kind of acting experience in his heart, he accepted it after being clicked the first time, but he didn't expect it to fail.

Chen Kaige didn't speak immediately, he glanced at Gan Jing, then turned his head and shouted to the back: "Old Li, come here, bring this kid over to teach him, and help him figure out how to act."

"Come on."

An old man appeared from behind, his clothes were not well-fitted, and he stood beside him with a smile.

"You learn from him first, if you have nothing to do, watch how other people act." Chen Kaige's attitude was neither friendly nor indifferent, and after saying this, he sent the two of them away.

In addition to Mei Lanfang's shots, there are other shots that need to be shot.

Gan Jing was gently tugged by the old man, and a little disappointed followed him to a quieter place behind.

"Gan Jing, right?"

"Well, what's your name?"

"You can just call me Uncle Li. Director Chen is not very satisfied with your performance. I heard that you are a newcomer. What do you think of the performance?"

What do you think?Gan Jing was a little dazed, he hadn't thought about this issue, his original intention was to get more attention, although the current one seems to be enough, but the more the better, it is obviously good.

Acting is a bit of a trend, and acting experience can be used, which is great; the director makes himself the protagonist, which is also great.

Of course, being able to squeeze out a big guy, he was still a little secretly happy.

"Acting is to make you become another person on the screen." The old man didn't say that Gan Jing must answer, and then said, "What we pursue is to play who we look like and who we are."

"You played with Wang Xueqi just now, how do you feel?"

Gan Jing thought for a while, and said, "I think he's quite stylish."

The old man pointed in the direction of the crew: "That's why he's showing his taste. Do you know how many NGs the director NGed yesterday? A total of 43! What do you mean by doing it twice!"

"Thirteen Yan is domineering and arrogant, but his heart is fragile. He admits that he is a low-class actor." The old man dragged Gan Jing to the direction of the crew, and asked Gan Jing to carefully observe Shi Sanyan's every move.

Actions, words, details, logic, this old Li, who was specially called by Chen Kaige, talked to Gan Jing with eloquence, and his analysis was just right.

For the next two days, Gan Jing didn't show up on the camera, but seriously followed the old man and whispered in a corner outside the camera.

Two days later, under the increasingly wrong eyes of other crew members, Director Chen finally called Gan Jing to his side again.

"Gan Jing, how are you doing? What have you learned?"

Gan Jing thought for a while, then glanced at the old man who was chatting with relish, and said, "I didn't know much about acting before. Now, I seem to understand what I don't know."

What he said was a bit mysterious. Chen Kaige couldn't say whether he was satisfied or not, but he just let Wang Xueqi be informed that he and Mei Lanfang were going to be filmed this time.

The onlookers of the crew began to gather around silently again. This scene made Chen Kaige a little funny, but he also knew what they were thinking.

Everyone took their positions, the clapper board sounded crisply, and Gan Jing's long gown appeared.

Come again this time, the taste is different from before.

Chen Kaige behind the camera nodded, feeling that the surprise teaching in the past few days is still effective, although there are still some traces in some aspects.

He didn't ask Gan Jing, but he guessed in his heart that this guy must like watching Farewell My Concubine very much, and he likes Concubine Yu played by Leslie Cheung in it, even to the point of resemblance.

However, Cheng Dieyi is Cheng Dieyi, and Mei Lanfang is Mei Lanfang.

Both characters have the pursuit of art at their core, but they have different experiences and encounters. It is impossible to play Mei Lanfang in the same way as Cheng Dieyi.

This is the change that Chen Kaige needs Gan Jing to make.

Cheng Dieyi is certainly the pinnacle of his filming, but which director doesn't want to make a breakthrough?

This is very important to Chen Kaige, and it is also true to Gan Jing.
