Chapter 207 Houlang died on the beach

"Next, we invite the second group of performers, Zhou Xiaoqing and Ren Suxi..."

"Performance Fragment: 1942!"

Ding Cheng watched the performance of the two on stage, one is an old drama player who has been around for many years, and the other is a seasoned drama master, the effect is really good.

In particular, the two little girls who played the children were acting in their true colors. When they said, "Mom, don't you want me?", the audience burst into tears instantly.

In the scene of the final separation, even Ding Cheng couldn't help the tears welling up in his eyes, the most unbearable scene of mother and child parting, it's just...

Taking a peek to the side, Xu Wenzheng also had red eye circles, and Zhang Ziyi couldn't take his eyes off it. This is the charm of a good actor.

At the end of the performance, the audience burst into warm applause, and many in the audience cried.This time Xu Wenzheng was the first to speak: "This is a textbook performance!"

"I have worked with Zhou Xiaoqing, and I know her strength and level. The most amazing thing is Ren Suxi, especially the scene where the bowl is broken, it is clean and neat."

"It can also be regarded as setting an example for the players behind me."

After listening to director Xu Da's encouragement, Zhang Ziyi said with a smile: "One of you is a film and television actor, and the other is active on the stage of a drama. The first cooperation makes people feel very harmonious. No one steals the show and presents us a wonderful show." Show, thank you."

The camera was pushed in front of him, Ding Cheng took a deep breath, and said frankly: "Usually I am a person with a lot of tears, but today your performance made me cry."

"Especially Zhou Xiaoqing, who brings characters with him as soon as he comes on stage. Although there is no explosive scene, he is full of tenacity in the plain, and the feeling of moistening things silently is very advanced."

"I think a really good performance should be like this. Everyone will not be entangled in whether their lines are correct or not, but will be completely brought into the plot with true feelings, and experience ups and downs with the characters."

"Maybe this is the drama of life, right?"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, not only for the two outstanding actors, but also for the three instructors' in-depth comments. If it is good, it is good, and it deserves to be praised by heaven.

No way, no way, hit the nail on the head, so it's fun.

Xu Wenzheng suddenly said, "Teacher Guoli, why don't you say a few words?"

"Director Xiaogang has been preparing for this drama for 18 years. He wanted to start it three times before, but the fate never came."

As the leading actor, Zhang Guoli recalled: "He never talked to me about this matter, and I never thought about acting in this movie, because the relationship between the two of us is not just a director and an actor, we are friends. , this relationship has surpassed the relationship between director and actor."

"It's not because I want to act in your play that I get along with this director. I don't have any such relationship. Besides, I'm also very independent. I run around all day. If you want to act with me, even if he wants to act with me, You have to ask in advance if there is a schedule.”

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Guoli said with a smile: "I still remember the first time he tried to ask me if I could give me a five-month schedule? My mind was buzzing, and I couldn't help asking him, is there any gap in the middle?" to do something else?"

"He said, you'd better not. As a result, when I saw the script, I started to cry. I have never shed so many tears because of the script. Because the landlord I learned from childhood is a negative image, but when this landlord suffers from disasters, tears will come out." flow unstoppable."

"He said that I have many similarities with my old club, such as being basically kind, cunning but still kind. To put it bluntly, isn't it just calling me easy to talk?"

"Just ask him directly: Uncle Ge, Liu Zhenyun, Wang Shuo, and I fell into the river at the same time, who will you save first?"

"In the end, without even thinking about it, he said directly: save Uncle Ge first, and save me last, because I am easy to talk!"

Yi Yi next to him interjected: "I remember that there were media reports that you lost a full 27 catties for this role?"

Zhang Guoli laughed and said relaxedly: "At the very beginning, the director had a request: this film must be filmed smoothly! All the actors must be thinner and thinner, and we must let us feel the same as the victims, as if we were really going through a five-month escape. And it's also from October to the following spring, which is freezing cold."

"Pingyao, Changzhi, Taigu, and Huozhou are all separated by three or four hundred kilometers. As long as you change places once, you won't be able to do anything for at least a day."

"A crew of seven to eight hundred people, 800 or [-] containers of props, more than a dozen containers of clothing, plus a large pallet truck pulling tanks, artillery vehicles, etc..."

"We just dragged these things, and went to Pingyao three times and Changzhi four times. If we shoot according to the conventional method, we must finish all the stories that happened here in one place, and the sequential shooting is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the scene. Gotta keep it."

"It not only paid a high price, but also exhausted everyone. I was frozen in the cold wind and walked in the mud. Sometimes the actors are good, but the extras are not good, so I have to do it all over again."

"They were so hungry that they usually panted when they walked. The live recording said that you should not pant so badly, but no one did it on purpose, they just panted badly. In the end, they couldn't take it anymore. How could they think about performing? When can I sit down and rest for a while."

The audience was silent, listening to Zhang Guoli's narration.Ding Cheng likes this feeling very much, he must let the audience know that being an actor is not something that can be done casually!

No matter how good the makeup and styling is, an actor is still an actor if the camera shows him a close-up.

If it is a medium scene, it must bring the relationship between the characters and help him become more like a disaster victim.But this kind of shooting must be more difficult than close-up shooting, because there are always characters and arrangements, so I can't shoot a few shots in a day.

"Every morning when you wake up, there are dead bodies everywhere. As you walk, you see a person in front of you fall down. You don't even have the strength to pull him up. How can you still have the strength to feel sad?"

"This drama was the most painful one I have ever filmed, bar none!"

"First of all, I have to lose weight without eating, and drink laxatives at the same time, because I want to lose so much weight within a month, and starvation is definitely not enough. You see, the bags under my eyes haven't recovered yet!"

"There are so many extras, thousands of them at every turn. Because of the harsh conditions and freezing weather, several groups of people have to be replaced every day to complete the filming. I helped to be the executive director of the Northeast part of the film. Every day when the assistant director came up, he said he ran away again. There are more than 100 people, so we have to find them quickly.”

"You saw me in the movie trying to rob someone else's donkey. It was like I was going crazy. I was so hungry that I only had one thought in the end, which was to never collapse on the set."

"If you fall down, you will cause a lot of trouble to others, and then you will grit your teeth and struggle every moment, your breathing will not be right, your heart will not be right, your mind will be blank, and your reaction will be slow, but this kind of thing is the most real. "

"It's not just me. In the scene where Xu Fan said goodbye to the child, her tears started to flow, but the director scolded at the monitor: Fanzi, I don't want such a cheap performance!"

"Performing is the best thing, as long as you can play the role vividly, it is the best. Sometimes there is a feeling of being driven away, driven by an overall atmosphere. You said that Xu Fan's life and death parting scene, people fell into Is it wrong to cry?”

"So I told the director at the time, you said this performance is cheap, I don't agree. But he said, you are right, but the last goodbye to the child, you don't want the child to see a tearful Mother, you are still cuddling with your child hypocritically, can you leave?"

"Later, after Fanzi finished filming this scene, she ran to the side and cried loudly, but now it is presented like this and placed in the entire movie, it is even more advanced."

"The last scene of filming was when I took the little girl's hand and walked back. I knew it was the background and there would be credits at the end of the credits, but the tears just kept flowing down. At this time, I was no longer the role of my old club. It's me."

"The tears shed were not from my old club at all, but from Zhang Guoli. When watching the replay, the director asked me how I felt, and I said..."

"Everything is worth it."

Ding Cheng applauded vigorously. This is the value of an actor. Nowadays, young people lack a kind of professionalism. Let's see how the old people do it?

After a long speech, I don't know if it will be edited in the end, Zhang Guoli continued to follow the flow: "Now please see the votes of the audience..."

"Zhou Xiaoqing 148 votes"

"Ren Suxi 152 votes"

"The key lies in the hands of the three mentors. What's your opinion, Ding Cheng?"

Ding Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I prefer Zhou Xiaoqing's performance."

"Congratulations to Zhou Xiaoqing, who won fifty votes, and director Xu Wenzheng?"

"In comparison, I think Ren Suxi's performance is more impressive, especially several breaking points. I vote for Ren Suxi."

"Congratulations to Ren Suxi, and finally tutor Ziyi?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little embarrassed, and explained: "The expressions of both of them are very exciting, and they belong to different genres. This decision is really difficult!"

"If I proceeded from my own selfishness, I would choose Ren Suxi. Because Zhou Xiaoqing is already a famous actor with his own masterpiece, and Ren Suxi needs this opportunity even more..."

"So... sorry... I chose Su Xi!"

The audience burst into applause. Zhou Xiaoqing regretted being eliminated and left. Zhang Guoli asked Ren Suxi: "What do you want to say?"

"I……"

Ren Suxi suddenly choked up, tears filled his eyes and said: "I have seen many good scripts, but it's a pity that the director doesn't like me..."

"I came here to let more people see me and know that I am also a good actor and can act well!"
