muscle actor

Chapter 315
Ding Cheng nodded secretly, because occupation is the most superficial and simplistic view of people we recognize.

The most contradictory thing is that there is no necessary relationship between what kind of person a person is and the profession he engages in, but the fixed stereotypes about a profession in your mind may affect your view of a person.

This is the biggest dramatic conflict!
The director looked at the actors and said seriously: "Everyone is capable and has a lot of experience in film and television performances. Movies are more inclined to the current situation of the performers. Drama is actually to express fantasy. It depends on the size of the space. For example, a large theater needs to be more outgoing. , the small theater is more restrained.”

"So in the next rehearsal, I don't want everyone to memorize the lines, what we are after is the real reaction on the spot!"

Coming to Ding Cheng, he said excitedly: "It's an honor to work with you. I hope we don't consider the box office for this performance. We are just discussing a legal issue. Your role is the top priority."

Ding Cheng agreed with the director's attitude. Strictly speaking, this is not a movie, but a stage play recorded by a camera.

The scene is a moot court in a university, discussing a real case that happened not long ago. The suspect is a rich second generation adopted by a real estate developer, and his biological father is a migrant worker from a rural area.

On the night of the incident, someone heard a fierce quarrel between the rich second generation and his biological father, who was subsequently killed at home.The students debated whether the suspect was guilty or not, while their father watched the entire court trial as a jury.

During the adjournment, 12 jurors were taken to another room for discussion. They had to reach a conclusion within an hour, and they needed to vote unanimously whether the suspect was guilty.

Come from all walks of life and have different backgrounds.Everyone generally hoped to be perfunctory as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, after the first round of voting, only juror No. [-], played by himself, insisted that he was not guilty.

Some are furious...some are taunting...some are vacillating...some are stubborn...

This is a fierce battle between conscience and morality...

Xu Ang was born in a drama, and this drama must be supported by actors with extremely deep line skills, otherwise the drama will collapse.

Ding Cheng could clearly feel the scrutiny from those around him. After all, including He Bing, they were all senior drama stars, coming from a small group of people at the top of the contempt chain.

It is definitely not looking down on yourself, and it is impossible for anyone to dare to look down on yourself.

It's just that they are alienated and uncertain about film and television actors in their bones. There is a saying in their hearts:

Interlaced like a mountain!
Ding Cheng was secretly funny, this may be Cheng Daoming reminding himself, don't look at the so-called Nine Gold Ten Billion Grand Slam Best Actor?

If you want to convince these old actors,
It's a mule or a horse,
It must be pulled out to yo.

In the next few days of rehearsal, I slowly found the feeling of a stage play. It seemed that the scene was very simple, just a dilapidated classroom, but on the contrary, it had extremely high requirements for creating the atmosphere of the whole film.

Because the scenes are fixed for more than an hour, Sidney, the director of "Twelve Angry Men", once talked about how the psychological and visual effects of the lens and viewpoint affected his shooting.

In order to create a sense of dilemma, the lens is slowly changed as the plot develops, slowly advancing from the normal range to 50mm, 75mm and 100mm focal lengths...

And gradually lower the angle of view of the lens until the lens is lower than one-third of the horizontal line of sight, and even the ceiling can be photographed...

Create a claustrophobic feeling.

This is one of the classic designs that are famous in the history of film. The reason why it is unparalleled is that the director unconsciously uses images to interfere with the audience's viewing experience. It is not until the jurors walk out of the room that they use high-altitude wide-angle overhead shots to completely relieve the emotions of the audience.

Of course, Xu Ang can't copy 100%, but he also understands this kind of lens conspiracy, and prepares to use the color temperature, light intensity, lightning and thunder before and after a heavy rain to strengthen the atmosphere of the scene at different stages of the debate.

The entry point is also very interesting. The suspect in the original work was a child who grew up in a slum. Poverty and lack of education became a reason for guilt.

This place has become the rich second generation, lack of discipline, publicity and domineering, which is the crime that is most likely to arouse the disgust of Chinese people.

"Xiao Ding, you are amazing!"

"As far as this line skills are concerned, they are also top-notch in human arts!"

"As expected of an actor who is used to seeing big scenes, I'm convinced!"

After a few scenes, everyone looked at Ding Cheng with admiration, especially his lines, which were well-spoken, yin and yang frustrating, and full of sound, no worse than He Bing and Han Tongsheng, who have spent half their lives on stage!
He Bing secretly picked up his thumb, as soon as an expert made a move, he would know if there was one.

In terms of camera sense, this kid absolutely crushed the audience, including himself. Twenty or thirty movies were not shot for nothing.

The contempt for film and television actors mainly comes from lines and emotional tension.The stage is not a camera, not a solitary small square box, facing hundreds of live audiences.

Standing on the stage, you need to rely on your fleshy voice to deliver every word and every sentence of the lines to the audience's ears. No matter you are sitting in the first row or the last row, you can hear clearly. This is called kung fu.

Then there is emotion, without the so-called close-up close-up of the camera, micro-expressions are no longer needed, all emotions rely on outbursts and body movements, even roaring and rage.

If you let drama actors act in movies, the biggest problem is that they are too full!

The camera is small, and any action will appear directly on the camera. The usual facial expressions can easily make the audience feel unaccustomed to the magnification of the camera. This is a problem that needs to be overcome.

But it's just a question,

Just recycle a little bit,
Take control of your emotional tension,
Experts quickly adapt.

Film and television actors are different, they go directly to the stage without training, not to mention acting, just say a few lines to show timidity, why the volume is too low to hear... Can't speak clearly... Swallow words and eat the end of the sound...

I yelled at the top of my lungs for a long time,
My throat is completely broken!

He Bing looked at Ding Cheng who was able to move freely, this is the most awesome thing.

It can be collected back when it is full. After all, the level is enough, it is just a matter of proportion.

After several rehearsals, Ding Cheng clearly felt the enthusiasm and approval of other people. In fact, they are very simple. As long as you have real skills and are worthy of the stage under your feet, they will be convinced.

Compared with people in the film and television industry,

It's really cute.

I finally understand why many big names who are used to fame and fortune return to the stage in the end.

The enjoyment of acting in front of the audience is one aspect.

What's more important is to return to the original heart, to return to the feeling of liking acting at the beginning...

Going back to the thrill of standing on stage for the first time, I was both nervous and excited...

Back to everyone simply getting together,
Staying up all night is just for the sense of accomplishment of letting the audience see a good show...

The curtain opened, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at me,

It is not only trust, but also pressure, and even more expectation.

Because on the stage, any shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, big enough to destroy all the pride of an originally confident film and television actor!
If you can overcome it...if you can stand up again...

Then face the camera again,

Nothing matters!
