Chapter 203 Being sentimental and learning in reverse
Jinli happily shared her experience with Gu Cheng.
"After being reminded by the veteran actor, I carefully observed him all afternoon today and found that he did have acting skills integrated into it, but he did it very inconspicuously, so I didn't notice that he amplified his own characteristics.
From him, I saw another side of an actor, which is that he knows himself extremely well and needs to understand himself better than anyone else, so that he can amplify his own characteristics. ”
Gu Cheng listened attentively, looking eager to learn: "Can understanding yourself help in acting?"
Jinli affirmed: "Yes! Ren Changtao knows the cheerful and outgoing side of his personality. He knows how he behaves in daily life, so he deliberately amplifies this trait during his performances.
My understanding is that he became more relaxed after the performance. This is his handling of this role and one of the expressive qualities of his acting skills. ”
Gu Cheng was thoughtful.
Understand yourself and then explore your own characteristics to echo the character?
Gu Cheng asked: "Do you think this kind of acting is good?"
Jinli pondered for a while and shook his head: "I have only been observing for a day. I am not sure whether it is good or not, but I feel that amplifying the characteristics can help new actors integrate into the crew better.
Ren Changtao has even less acting experience than me, but his performance in the crew is far better than mine, which means he is better than me. ”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity that my personality is too different from the character 'Vera'. I thought about it for a long time today and I feel that this character is completely different from my nature and has nothing in common, so I can't learn Ren Changtao's methods."< br>
The old actor’s advice is good, but everyone’s situation is different.
However, Jinli still planned to watch for a few more days, maybe he could see something different.
On the contrary, Gu Cheng felt that he had gained something after listening to it.
At the end of the call, he suddenly asked: "Can I visit your crew?"
Jinli was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Of course, you are welcome to come over at any time. When do you want to come?"
Gu Cheng can come to visit the class as her friend.
Besides, they also have a joint variety show "Leisurely and Slow Life" that needs to be filmed together, so visits are very common.
Gu Cheng said: "Not this week. I'll see if I can make time to go there this month. If not, then next month.
You also know that the script of "Assassination" has been almost finished recently. It is my first time filming, and I am afraid that the acting will not be good, and I want to learn from Ren Changtao's method. ”
Jinli nodded: "Okay, you can tell me in advance when the time comes and I will make arrangements for you."
She thought of something on the spur of the moment and said: "But you have to come here quickly. The character played by Ren Changtao is the first to die. We will definitely be filming this week, but I'm not sure about next week."
< br>
Gu Cheng gestured to her: "OK!"
-
Early the next morning.
Jinli didn't have a role in the morning, but she still moved a small mat and sat next to the director, holding paper and pen in her hand.
The equipment is more complete than yesterday.
She stared at Ren Changtao intently, lowering her head to take notes from time to time.
Although she can't use the method of "amplifying her own personality traits to complement the character" on this crew, she can use it on other crews.
Learning this method will be of great help to her acting skills.
And looking at Ren Changtao now, it is not nothing.
The opposite of the amplification trait is emotional restraint.
The restrained emotions in the movie do not mean that the actors have to be expressionless.
It's about performing so that the audience feels that you are restraining yourself.
Jinli could observe Ren Changtao's openness and in turn ponder his own restraint, which could represent the role of Vera.
She always seemed worried, as if she was hiding many secrets.
And her biggest secret is related to her lover.
Jinli was curious and eager to learn. The more she thought about it, the more confident she became in her writing, and she soon took several pages of notes.
"Stuck!!"
Deng Zexu looked at Ren Changtao's performance in the camera and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
He is worthy of being a good brother who has been wearing a pair of pants since childhood. He knew that the role of Marston was suitable for him!
He knew that his friend was a man with strong self-esteem.
After being denied the possibility of becoming an actor by his actor father, although he seemed nonchalant on the surface and didn't want to pursue the career of an actor, in fact he always refused to admit defeat.
There is an idea of "the more unfavorable you are, the more I will do well to show you".
That's why he found Ren Changtao to play this role. He also wanted to support his brother's dream.
Although at present, Ren Changtao's dream is not necessarily to become an actor, but to "slap his father in the face".
The filming of this scene is over.
Ren Changtao walked a few steps towards Deng Zexu and noticed Jinli beside him.
He couldn't help but pause, wink at Deng Zexu, and walked to the other side.
Deng Zexu received his friend's message perfectly and turned to look at Jinli. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly choked when he saw her full notebook.
Memories of my student days suddenly attacked me.jpg
Deng Zexu coughed a few times and asked in a kind tone: "Jinli, why did you take so many notes?"
Jinli came to her senses and said, "I asked some veteran actors how to act well in a play. The veteran actors told me not to learn from them, but to learn from Ren Changtao."
Deng Zexu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"So?"
Jinli said matter-of-factly: "So I have been observing Ren Changtao's plays these past few days to see how he acts."
When it came to the crew filming, Deng Zexu quickly put Ren Changtao's request behind him and asked curiously: "Have you noticed it?"
Jinli nodded: "I noticed that he deliberately exaggerated certain traits of his personality during filming, and this trait fits the character very well, right?"
Deng Zexu really admired Jinli now.
"You observed very carefully, and you reacted so quickly that I didn't even need to mention it to you."
He said frankly: "The reason why I asked Ren Changtao to play Marston is that I found that there is a certain spark between him and the character, which can create a wonderful collision."
Jinli's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly realized that she had fallen into a misunderstanding these days.
She had communicated with veteran actors and even had a small amount of communication with Ren Changtao, but why hadn't she thought about having a good chat with Director Deng?
Jinli asked curiously: "Director Deng, why did you choose me to play Vera? Is there some kind of spark between me and this character?"
Deng Zexu frowned, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Jinli said without hesitation: "The truth."
Deng Zexu said honestly: "You are famous, popular, and lucky. I invite you because I want you to promote this drama.
On the other hand, I think you can play Vera, not because I think you can have different sparks with this character, but because I think you are completely qualified for this role. ”
Jinli couldn't help but be startled. She didn't even have that much confidence in herself.
She said hesitantly: "Are you too optimistic about me?" Deng Zexu smiled: "I believe in my own vision. If you can play a role like Liu Ci, you will definitely be able to figure out Vera well.
Everyone has different understanding and feelings of the characters. In my mind, Liu Ci and Vera actually have the same characteristics.
Vera killed the titular murderer in the end, but also cruelly buried herself on this isolated island, fulfilling the prophesied death.
She is crazy, collapsed, and helpless. I think she is very similar to Liu Ci in this trait.
It's just that Liu Ci is stronger than Vera. She used her own strength to get out of the predicament, while Vera chose death. ”
Deng Zexu said: "Although they have different choices, it does not mean that they do not have similar personalities."
After listening to this, Jinli looked thoughtful.
The director's idea opened up another way of thinking for her.
It can be difficult to figure out a completely new character.
But it is much less difficult to learn from the old characters and figure out another character.
Jinli had different ideas about Vera's understanding.
She blinked her eyes and smiled slyly: "Director, listening to your words is better than me pondering for days. If I had known this, I should have talked to you on the first day I joined the team."
Deng Zexu said in a low voice: "Sister Fang personally led you into the group. I don't dare to say anything more to you."
Jinli chuckled, not expecting Sui Lingfang to put so much pressure on Deng Zexu.
If Deng Zexu knew what Jinli was thinking, he would definitely say loudly that the pressure Sui Lingfang put on started from the investment ratio!
Chenxi Entertainment can hold 40% of the shares, and Sui Lingfang's negotiation is indispensable.
……
In Tianding Entertainment.
Gu Cheng returned to the company and specifically communicated with Brother Guang about "Assassination" and other matters.
In the conference room, Brother Guang improved the progress and said: "According to the speed at which they revise the draft, filming will begin in December next month. I will urge them on behalf of the company to hand it over as soon as possible."
Gu Cheng asked with concern: "The director has decided that Yan Jianqiao cannot be changed. What about the production team? Has he found it?"
Zhang Guang frowned: "I was about to tell you about this. I contacted Yan Jianqiao, but I checked it out and found it was not feasible. I plan to tell the company's senior management and ask the company to send you a better team. .”
Gu Cheng nodded. In this regard, he still believed in Tianding's strength.
Although the company mainly focuses on idols, there are also related resource channels for acting. Tianding can contact more professional film and television production companies.
Anyone who reaches the pinnacle position in any industry cannot be underestimated. The strength of his own network is comparable to that of many second-tier companies.
Zhang Guang's voice came: "What needs to be solved urgently now is the heroine. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Gu Cheng shook his head, "No, it's up to the director to decide."
Zhang Guang also shook his head: "Now it's so laborious just for them to change the script. If Director Yan is also allowed to intervene in the casting, I think this drama may not be able to start filming until February next year."
He thought for a while and said, "Well, I've also read the script. The heroine is divided into youth and adulthood. In the youth period, we will find college students from the film and television academy to play the role. How about that?"
Gu Cheng perfectly interpreted the role of the hands-off shopkeeper at this time, "I don't know, my understanding of the role is limited to the male protagonist. I don't know how to play the female protagonist, and I don't know how to find someone. You still have to think about this." Go ask Director Yan.”
Zhang Guang choked on his words.
I don’t know why there is a ghost!
The drama "Assassination" is a revenge drama with a female protagonist. The male protagonist is a moonlight-like existence and rarely appears in the early stage.
In the later stage, he will also play Bai Yueguang's younger brother, but the one who plays opposite him the most is the heroine. In terms of understanding the heroine, Gu Cheng is definitely the first.
He just didn't want to think about it, so he didn't say it!
In March, if there is one artist that Zhang Guang feels is the most difficult to choose, it would be Gu Cheng.
He is taciturn and aloof, and seems to dislike talking, but in fact he sees everything clearly.
And he is the most assertive and will shoot you suddenly to shock you.
Yan Xingdong will take care of the overall situation, Luo Yi will be kind to others, and Chen Lin, as a child, can be coaxed.
As for Gu Cheng, he only touches things that interest him. If he's not interested, he doesn't say anything and just holds it back.
Then don’t die in silence, just explode in silence.
When he wanted to disband the group before, Gu Cheng was the one who did it best. He directly said that he wanted to terminate the contract, which shocked Zhang Guang.
Looking back on that scene now, Zhang Guang wanted to give himself a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
Although this kid is in the entertainment industry, he is in a very dissociated state, as if he doesn't care about anything.
It took a lot of effort to finally decide that I wanted to act, and I had to spend a lot of money to invest.
Zhang Guang thought that Gu Cheng would be somewhat interested in this drama. Who would have thought that he was only interested in acting and didn't care about investment at all.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng paid attention to the other people in Yuyuetian and basically wouldn't cause trouble, so Zhang Guang simply let them go.
He thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll look for the actress. I don't need you anymore. If there's nothing else, you can quickly join the group."
Gu Cheng suddenly stopped when he was about to leave and said, "You reminded me that I really need your help with something. Please give me a day off this week."
Brother Guang didn't need to ask why, he just answered: "I want to visit Jinli's crew.
She said there was an actor there who, although he was acting in his true colors, could connect his own character with the character's character and achieve an even better performance. I think it would be helpful for my acting, and I wanted to see it. ”
Affirmative tone.
Once you hear it, you can’t question it, you have to go.
Zhang Guang originally wanted to ask, are you doing this to improve your acting skills, or do you have your own selfish motives?
But when he saw Gu Cheng's calm and composed face, he turned his words back and took them back.
"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it for you."
Another night.
When Ren Changtao went to find Deng Zexu this time, he found that Jinli was also there, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
But Deng Zexu kept the door open, so he didn't have to worry about chatting about anything he couldn't listen to.
He knocked on the door and waited for Deng Zexu to reply before going in.
"Director Deng, Sister Jinli." Ren Changtao said hello in a rare and obedient manner.
In the past, he would have been hugging the director with a playful smile.
When Deng Zexu saw him, his eyes lit up and he immediately said, "It just so happens that I'm here. Jinli, if you don't understand anything, ask him immediately. I guarantee that he will tell you everything he knows."
Ren Changtao:?
Jinli hesitated for a moment and said, "Hello, I have an acting technique that I want to ask you about. How do you switch between the role and yourself freely?"
Ren Changtao: Do you think I am an experienced person?
