I want to make headlines

Chapter 958 The Governor from Heaven (Part [-])
Props, camera positions, scene notes, and some famous onlookers.

The scene in front of me is as familiar as the previous two months of shooting in Los Angeles. However, the mood at this moment is probably the most immersive.

There are different theories in the art of acting. Gan Jing has always been learning and absorbing through the combination of screening and practice. However, for personal camera performances in such a small space like now, he feels that the most correct way is to give all his emotions to the script. The character in the movie does not need to use skills, and simply uses the character's emotions to drive the most natural response.

Gan Jing is very confident about this, don't ask, if other people have different opinions, then take mine as the standard.

If something doesn't look right in the shot, it's a priority to revise the script before making adjustments to the performance.

The last time this happened was the use of the last shot of Ang Lee's "Life of Pi". In the end, that shot successfully impressed many Oscar judges and audiences around the world.

At that time, the great director Ang Lee felt that the final shot was a bit torn to the narrative of the whole film. However, after weighing the trade-offs, even as the creator of the film, he felt that leaving such a shot would be a big problem for the majority of movie fans. It's a pity.

Gan Jing let out a breath slowly, sat lightly on the chair, and slowly grasped the state of the character in his heart.

The prototype of the characters in "Governor from Heaven" is himself, and the content of the story is a fantasy based on reality, so it is very easy to act on a daily basis, but there is also a problem, that is, the characters and the prototype are similar but not equal .

The so-called art comes from life and is higher than life. It is almost appropriate to use it for this.

Because the prototype is myself, it is not so easy to make a breakthrough.

Usually do not smoke, cut a cigar on the screen, do not usually dance, do a solo dance on the screen, including but not limited to these are not breakthroughs, just some small tricks.

What Gan Jing has to do now is to tell the audience in front of the screen that I am not the actor Forrest Gump you know in life, but a Chinese-American Xiao Jing who has become a Hollywood superstar but is full of ambition and conceit to launch an impact on the political arena.

How to do it?

The field record is on the board.

click.

NO.

In just five seconds, Gan Jing, who was already sitting on the chair, stood up and waved his hands at the camera, signaling to director Zhou Shen that this time it was NG.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Shen ran over all the way. If it was another young actor, the director would have yelled directly through the loudspeaker, but most of the actors in this play, whenever they met NG, Zhou Shen would run over to listen to their opinions. , just have to lick well.

One of the tasks of a director in the crew is to sort out the relationship between the crew and the crew. In this regard, the producer is similar.

Gan Jing frowned, wandering around unconsciously, like a trapped animal in a cage.

"It doesn't feel right, add something, add something." Facing the director's question, he muttered to himself.

"What to add?" Zhou Shen is as good as he can be. Today's shot was determined by staying up late the day before yesterday, but when it comes time to shoot, he naturally has to adapt to the situation. Forrest Gump's current state is a kind of change.

It's normal to change the drama, hehehe, it's normal.

Gan Jing sat back on the chair again, turned his head to look at the curtains without focus, his brain was running fast, today is to put himself in such an environment to perform a breakthrough, so what other settings are easy besides his full devotion What does the audience perceive?
In a flash, Gan Jing went online for two seconds.

"Music, music." Gan Jing's eyes lit up, and he said to the director, "Go get another vinyl record player, um, a record player..."

Many thoughts flashed through Gan Jing's mind, and he screened them one by one, and finally said: "Here is an Italian record, the melodious and intoxicating one."

Zhou Shen thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Is there any more?"

"Not for now." Gan Jing shook his head.

Zhou Shen turned around to communicate with the props team, repeating A-Gump's request, and then the whole crew fell into waiting. At this time, no one disturbed A-Gump, even the actors and friends did not step forward, they clearly knew that at this time Forrest Gump must be in the character state.

The props group was relatively complete, and about half an hour later, Zhou Shen came over with the record player loaded with records.

"Boss, we discussed for a while and chose an Italian song "Con te partiro". The fourth tenor Andrea's version is used, which is very beautiful."

Gan Jing was noncommittal, motioning for him to let it out and listen.

After a few seconds, the vinyl record player started working.

A magnetic and melodious singing sounded.

"Okay, that's it. Wait for a while, I'll learn a few lines of lyrics." After Gan Jing finished speaking, he began to listen to the melody and lyrics of the song repeatedly.

As for how to convey new character information to the audience, one of the methods he considered was to use different singing voices in different languages.

Chinese and English respectively correspond to a large film market, and Gan Jing is unwilling to give audiences on both sides a sense of familiarity. Relatively speaking, Italian is relatively small.

Italian is known as a language like the wind, with smooth and gorgeous pronunciation and even and rhythmic sequence. The most famous Italian opera can often bring melodious feeling to listeners who do not understand Italian because its words like to end with vowels. This is determined by the characteristics of the language.

After another half an hour, Gan Jing was ready again.

Click, the slate started again after the first few seconds of NG.

The melodious singing sounded, and the charm of the singer came first from the air.

"su navi per mari."

"che io lo so."

"No no non esistono più."

——Crossing the ocean, I firmly believe that, rain or shine, you will be invincible.

Under the camera, Gan Jing reached out and unbuttoned his white shirt, got up and walked two steps to the record player and stretched out his right hand, the singing stopped abruptly.

He lowered his head, his eyes were serious, the record moved forward, and the singing returned to these few lines.

Turn your voice down.

Gan Jing returned to the window, the difference was that this time he hummed softly along with the song.

The low-pitched voice echoed in the room with the sound of the record, instantly filling the room with a romantic artistic atmosphere.

With a relaxed expression, Gan Jing sat back in the chair and reached out to cut the cigar.

The record continued to spin.

Gan Jing leaned back a little, took out the cigar from his mouth and exhaled upwards, his eyes changed from relaxed to thoughtful, and the cigar was firmly held between the fingers of his right hand.

The picture on the monitor lasted four minutes and 20 seconds from the board to the end.

"It's really..." Zhou Shen gestured first, and then searched for words to describe.

Zhou Xun next to him immediately said: "Amorous, very amorous."

"Yes, yes, this scene is really charming." Zhou Shen sighed, "The more the scene is changed, the more interesting it will be."

"It's Forrest Gump after all."

I don't know who is next to me, so I said with emotion.
