I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 454 452. Who said that good acting skills can prevent being tortured? (33)

  Because of the angle, when Wang Qingxiang was performing just now, there were only sets behind, without any crew members.

So everyone can only simply see his performance, from the changes in his eyes, to the kind of lines in his lines... At first glance, it sounds ordinary, but in fact, every emotion is progressive. In the life of the year, it turned into the most unpretentious performance.

   Maybe not amazing.

  But when you see him, you never think of anyone.

Forget that his name is Wang Qingxiang, and forget that he is actually an old artist who participated in the naval battle in the sixth year of the 1980s and won three third-class personal merits. .

  The profession of an actor... how should I put it.

A genius may be able to reach a very high level, but even if the talent is mediocre, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can reach a level... Maybe not as brilliant as a genius, dazzling enough to be famous in film and television, but it is definitely not too bad .

  From the avenue to simplicity, the same goal through different routes.

  The so-called performance, the simplest kind of regression, is actually...letting everyone forget everything about you, nothing more.

  Wang Qingxiang is like this.

  The plays he acted in, unless he made a mistake himself, or some performance concepts were contrary to the director.

   Otherwise, the most common sentence he interprets at this age is:

   "What you play is what you do."

  So there is really nothing wrong with his plays.

   But this also made everyone more curious.

  I want to see Yang Mi's performance.

   Soon, the camera was set up.

  The angle I found happened to be Yang Mi's frontal face viewed from the side.

  Because she is not performing, her expression is very flat at the moment.

   It's like "standby".

  Wang Qingxiang actually had some expectations in his heart.

  This girl...

  It's very aura.

   Don't say whether she won the award or not, although Wang Qingxiang knows that she has been very popular in the past two years, but...it's quite straightforward. Ever since that "Xiao Yuan'er" back then, everything about this girl was unfamiliar to him.

  I haven't seen the work, and I don't usually pay attention to it.

   But he could feel it through the conversation before filming just now. This girl is different from the superficial children I met in other crews.

  Rare, on the basis of having such a pretty face, he is willing to study hard and has a good actor with talent.

  As for why he was able to make this conclusion.

  The reason is also very simple.

  In the scene between the two just now, when I was acting, although the girl only had one line, she was able to express the emotion of the two discussing through the lines without showing any expression on her face.

   Just for this, he was pleasantly surprised.

  He has seen too many actors who treat the so-called lines purely as a kind of... speaking, or speaking.

   But in fact, how to read and read lines is a basic skill that is quite sophisticated for actors.

   Talk, easy.

  Emotions can be conveyed by words, or the kind of progressive emotions, which is very rare.

  After feeling the level of the girl's lines, Wang Qingxiang also wanted to see how her performance was.

   Soon, the seat layout is completed.

  Although Wang Jiawei’s voice could not be heard, Yang Mi heard the words of the scene:

   "Is the actor ready?"

   After she put up a thumbs up to indicate OK, she didn't even have the specific number of the first act, and the scene record directly dressed up:

   "Second game, 3, 2, 1, ACTION!"

  This time it was Wang Qingxiang's turn to stop making expressions.

  However, in order to play for Yang Mi, he still used both expressions and lines as when the two were talking, and said:

   "The game at night, according to the rules of the north..."

   While talking, he was observing Yang Mi's expression.

   Grit your teeth.

   But not hard.

   Just let his temples bulge.

   Also the cheeks are wider than normal, because the masseter muscles are working, and her face looks angular.

  But she controlled the muscles around the eyes, focusing on her face with a look that was not squinting, but could express caring emotions.

   "The winner is a treat."

  After the words fell, Yang Mi's ears moved suddenly.

   This movement is caused by the muscles involved in the corners of the eyes, controlling the vibration of his ears.

  There is only a trace... If you don't pay attention, even you will think it is an illusion.

   After returning to normal, Wang Qingxiang noticed that the caring eyes of this little girl almost disappeared in the blink of an eye under the relaxation of the muscles.

  Her concern for her father, like the surging tide, "falls".

   Instead, a kind of anger.

  Without the soft eyes, the expression of gnashing her teeth and swelling her temples and occlusal muscles made her face look square.

  It is obviously a woman's soft body, but the edges and corners on this face seem to be that of an angry man.

  Wang Qingxiang didn't think much about it.

  Even though he was full of surprises at the other party's acting skills, after all, he was performing at this moment, and he would not allow his "daughter"'s acting skills to go to waste because of his own mistakes.

  Then continued:

   "Ip Man wasn't there, and I wasn't there either. You will go on my behalf."

  He didn't pause this time, but after finishing speaking, the half "beat" intention of Yang Mi's intentional pause during the first line was revealed.

  The moment you hear "You represent me".

  The nostrils that were dilated due to anger began to shrink.

   After relaxing the masseter muscles, the lines of the temples and cheekbones instantly softened.

  At the same time, the voice of the gentle boudoir daughter sounded:

"do not worry."

  Facing father's orders, the obedient Gong Er chose the most obedient promise.

   But after saying this, with natural breathing, she raised her chest and raised her head slightly.

   Not aggressive, not arrogant.

  Only the self-confidence and determination under the glory of the Gong family.

   She smiled.

   But it's not a big laugh, nor a shallow smile, but a smile from the eyes, and the firmness in the smile:

   "The palace family has never done anything wrong."

  How about losing?

   So what if you win?

  The Gong family is still the same Gong family.

  A mere Ip Man, can't bend the waist of her palace family!

"…Walk."

   Get in the car and make a transition.

Finish.

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   There was silence.

  Yang Mi, who finished the performance, and Wang Qingxiang, who was sitting in a rickshaw, were waiting for the director to say "OK" or "Passed".

  Even, Xu Haofeng and Zhou Jingzhi standing behind Wang Jiawei also nodded slightly.

Um.

good.

   The one that can’t find any faults is good.

  Wang Qingxiang has the demeanor of a master, and he takes the role of Gong Yutian as an old world, who has been **** all his life, and after retiring, he is indifferent to all wins and losses.

   Not to mention Yang Mi.

  Wang Qingxiang has lines.

   He has a lot of lines.

   A little bit of a sentence or two is progressing through emotions, so that people can feel this turning point and the heart of the father to teach his daughter.

  But Yang Mi's performance was more difficult than Wang Qingxiang's.

  Because her line here is only one sentence.

  Using a line, she elicited her daughter's concern for her father.

   It leads to the annoyance of the kid who made Daddy willingly give his fame to that brat.

  And through the setbacks, the body language with her chest raised and her head raised showed that she is a member of the palace family, and she is proud of her majesty and definitely not a derogatory term in handling the affairs of the palace family!

  Everything is in this line and before and after the performance.

  tsk...

  Xu Haofeng secretly smacked his mouth.

   It's outrageous.

   This is the ability of the double golden actress?

  Girls in their early 20s...when others are still imitating their acting skills poorly, like HD toddlers, or trying to cover up their weaknesses in acting by virtue of their good looks...

  The girl in front of me is already able to play with a big fanfare with an old actor who has been immersed in acting for a lifetime, an old people's artist on the same stage without losing the wind...even more destructive.

  Monster.

  How does it compare with her contemporaries?

  How to compare with her?

  Genius is not scary.

  The scary thing is that geniuses work harder than anyone else to improve themselves every moment.

  tsk...

Oh yes.

The key is…

  How can you fight!

   As for the things she showed these days...

  If she faces any danger, probably the only worry she has is whether the court will judge her to be too defensive, right?

  Tut tsk tsk...

   While thinking about it, Wang Jiawei's voice sounded:

   "Well, yes, fine."

  He pushed his sunglasses.

  When Yang Mi heard his words and felt relieved that the scene was over...

  Suddenly came another sentence:

   "Let's do it again. This time, you change the way of acting, and the emotional collision is more direct. Don't hide it, show it directly."

   "...???"

  Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

  What... what?

  Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Wang Jiawei pointing at himself and Wang Qingxiang with two fingers:

"Both of them are, show the emotions intuitively, and one more. Then the lighting, this time we want a dimming... Bring two umbrellas and see how this scene is shot in a rainy environment. Spray The water team is ready!"

   "..."

   "..."

  Wang Qingxiang was speechless.

  Yang Mi was speechless.

   Although Xu Haofeng was speechless, he was not surprised.

  Maybe other people don't know, but he knows it well. Whether it's the casting, the conception of the script, or the filming stage, people say that Director Wang is slow in filming, but they don't understand how slow it is.

  But the actual situation is that this is caused by Wang Jiawei himself.

  He's a... how should I put it. To put it mildly, it's called choice difficulty. To put it bluntly, he should have gone to the hospital for treatment earlier.

  Why does he only use notes for filming?

  Don't listen to him bragging about "I am the script", in fact, he doesn't have to prepare so many things at all.

  Because there are simply not enough hours in a day.

   Just like now.

   Anyone with a discerning eye can see this scene, the performance of the two actors is impeccable.

   But, sorry, no.

  As a person with severe choice difficulties, what Wang Jiawei likes to do most is to shoot every scene in his movie according to the possibility imagined in his mind.

   Then go to these "perfect" to find the "most perfect".

   People who don't know think he is striving for perfection.

   But without mentioning anything else, in terms of this scene, Xu Haofeng really felt that Director Wang was taking off his pants and farting.

   But what can I do.

   This is a habit of others.

  In the crew, don't care about good directors or bad directors, as long as they don't say it's really bad, then everyone has to follow the director's idea.

  He said it once, or a hundred times...

   Shoot.

  The crew who have followed him for many years, including Liang Chaowei, did not have any accidents.

  Only Yang Mi...

   Completely dumbfounded.

  Does it have to be so outrageous?

Then…

  She and Wang Qingxiang followed the director's instructions, and the version of "Erkang.BETA02" released emotionally was launched.

  After the performance, no one else needs to watch it, and Wang Jiawei himself knows it won't work.

  So, another scene was designed in which the two acted according to the first version, and then the surrounding background was depicted with rain...

   It was over again.

  He thought for a while, and came to the "Erkang.BETA04" version again, which was emotionally extroverted but did not rain or break up.

  All four editions have been filmed.

  When Yang Mi felt that she was going numb, she finally heard Wang Jiawei's words:

   "Well, okay, this one is over... Sure enough, the first version is better."

  Come on!

  Bring me my knife!

  My mother is going to **** him! !

  …

   "Shooting for a day?"

"That's right... I'm really numb, you know? I finally understand why his acting is so slow... I regret it, really, brother, you said I'll discuss with Aunt Zhao and let Zhang Ziyi act Can you do it? I’m afraid that if I go on like this, I won’t be able to resist killing him!!”

   "..."

  At almost 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Xin, who was studying tomorrow's shots with the old man, received a call from his wife.

   And listening to the frantic sound on the phone, Xu Xin couldn't help looking at Zhang Yimou.

  He hasn't worked with Wang Jiawei before, so he doesn't know exactly how tortured this person is.

  But... you tortured your wife like this on the first day of filming?

   As for what?

   And Zhang Yimou was a little speechless listening to the coquettish movement on the phone.

   Moreover, Yang Mi continued to say:

"Do you know how outrageous it is? In the morning, only two scenes were filmed. One was my scene, and the other was Liang Chaowei's scene where he fought against the wooden dummy. Forget mine, his... even The person's face was invisible, but the light came in from the window and hit his shadow. He played Wing Chun against the wooden dummy!

  Liang Chaowei typed it five times, so the light changed every time, what did the poem say? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, who dances in the sky with colorful... right? One light at a time, and then he said it didn't feel right. Liang Chaowei hit it four times again! I just watched Liang Chaowei's arms start to tremble at the end..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin, Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Mo were silent.

   The corners of his mouth twitched.

"And then, do you know what's even more outrageous? After filming two scenes in the morning, it's noon. Everyone eats. After eating, go directly to the studio. We saw the script in the filming, and Ip Man said at the opening What kind of kung fu is one horizontal and one vertical, and the group attack scene of lying down by mistake.

  First of all, the scene was heavy rain, and then Liang Chaowei beat a dozen of them alone...he played all afternoon. I really... I'm shaking just looking at my calves. He was so tired that he vomited sour water... But he couldn't... It was dinner time, and Wang Jiawei told us: It's off work.

  There were five or six items in the piece of paper he brought, but we finished two of our mornings today. The third is Liang Chaowei's fighting scenes.

  Continue tomorrow.

  Let me tell you, after Liang Chaowei's filming of this scene, he will have athlete's foot, I'll take your surname! Soak in the water for a few hours, and the weather here in Guangdong is still humid... Ouch, people say that Xiangjiang foot is Xiangjiang foot, is it just rumored? What does this foot smell like... don't they all have to swish? And Liang Chaowei's calf cramped several times..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   Or say her lines are good.

  By vividly describing her experience of the first day, Xu Xin felt as if she was there in person.

  Obviously, this is only the first day, even if the person tormented is not myself...or only a small part of it is tormenting myself, but the wife is already a knife-like ass--opened my eyes.

  Seeing this, he said with a funny smile:

   "Okay, each director has his own style, just get used to it slowly. That's alright... I'm still chatting with director Zhang about tomorrow's play, you take your children and take a rest."

"Well, okay... Anyway, I just want to tell you. I swear, this is my first and last Wang Jiawei movie... I will never be in his movie again. It's too scary... Hey~~ ~~”

  Amidst the complaints, Xu Xin hung up the phone.

   subconsciously asked the old man:

   "Are you familiar with Wang Jiawei?"

"good."

  Zhang Yimou agreed, but immediately shook his head as if to separate the relationship:

   "But I have only heard that his plays are very tortured, and I have never experienced it myself."

  Hearing what his father said, Zhang Mo muttered:

   "Just listening to what Mimi said, I feel overwhelmed... By the way, do you still have investment in this drama? You don't care?"

   "What do I care? This is the director's creative freedom."

  Xu Xin shrugged:

   "It's not that there are no producers on the scene. But as a director, if even the freedom of creation is interfered with, that's pretty sad... No matter, and I think it's good to grind her. Don't you think so?"

"Um."

  Under Zhang Mo's speechless gaze, the old man and Xu Xin stood on the united front:

"Actors are also afraid of impetuosity. Mimi has been going so smoothly in the past two years, and it really needs a process of finding her original intention with a solid heart. It's a good thing for her impatient to meet such a slow-moving and meticulous director. The sharper the knife, the sharper it is."

   "Yes."

   "..."

  Zhang Mo was speechless.

  Looking at his father and "strangers" whose thinking is completely different from his own.

   Completely speechless.

  Whether the so-called love will disappear, she doesn't know.

   But at this moment she is very clear...

  The two of them got together, as if they were really superfluous.

   The kind of superfluity that is superfluous to many superfluous.

   The third watch is here.

  Let’s talk about it… Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Married people understand everything. Tomorrow morning, I have to drive a long distance back to my daughter-in-law's house to visit relatives.

  I don’t know what time I came back.

  I try to save my energy, and I can continue to update after I get home, at least 4000 words. But if you come back late, or if you are exhausted, you may not update tomorrow.

  I try to keep it updated.

  The Spring Festival program is scheduled for tomorrow, that is, the second day of junior high school is a busy day, and there will be a gathering of friends in the fifth and sixth day of junior high school. There may be fewer updates at that time, and everything else should be normal.
