Chapter 217: Unable to bear the pressure and ran away
Jinli got half an hour's rest.
She wasted no time and decided to watch the performance of an old actor.
She had seen it before, but she couldn't see anything. She just felt that their acting skills were natural and could not be imitated at all.
But as she deeply experienced the role of Vera and experienced the acting skills of her predecessors from the perspective of the character, Jinli gained a new understanding.
It's not that she can't imitate, but if she imitates the performance of an old actor, it will only look different.
Because the performances of these people are no longer based on skills, but on emotions. Every performance of the old actor is based on the role.
In other words, every frown, smile, expression, and tone of voice...are limited to that character.
So even if she tried to imitate it, it would only make people feel weird.
Because the performance of an old opera actor does not belong to skills, but to the understanding of the role, and the performance specifically for that role.
"Jinli!"
Ren Changtao came over and asked curiously: "Have you discovered anything?"
Jinli nodded: "I feel like I can understand why the veteran actor acted like this."
Ren Changtao sighed: "You are really talented in acting. I have watched their performances for so long, but I just can't figure out why they perform like this. I have simulated it many times in my mind, and I will never be able to do it as smoothly as them." .
Every time I watch them, I feel like they are the characters in the script, so realistic! This makes me feel somewhat intimidated and sometimes I dare not chat with them. ”
Jinli smiled: "It's not that difficult. I understand them from the perspective of the characters. You can also try to pretend that you are a playboy and look at it from the perspective of the characters in the script. You may have different discoveries."
Ren Changtao couldn't help but said: "Jinli, although I play the role of a arrogant, arrogant and domineering playboy, my real personality is not like this, so if you ask me to take the role, I find it somewhat difficult."
Jinli couldn't help but take another look at him.
She said calmly: "Then I can only do nothing to help."
"Sister Jinli!" Chen Qin rushed over in a hurry and intervened forcefully between Jinli and Ren Changtao.
"Come, draw lots and see what we eat tonight."
Chen Qin took out the lottery tube, glanced at Ren Changtao, and then silently took out the scriptures and prepared to chant.
Ren Changtao's expression paused and he took a few steps away from Chen Qin.
He didn't want to hear her chant at all!
After Ren Changtao left, Chen Qin stopped reciting, but Jinli looked at her with interest and said, "Are you interested in Taoist scriptures?"
Chen Qin said with joy, "I used to sell flowers in front of the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Under the influence, I also believed in Taoism. When I felt confused, I took out the scriptures and read them, thinking they could guide me in the right direction."
Jinli nodded: "It makes sense, just keep reading."
Chen Qin was confused: "What?"
Jinli smiled brightly at her, and casually pulled out a lottery ticket from the lottery box, which read "Steamed Pork Ribs with Flour Flour".
She handed it to Chen Qin, "I like to listen. You are right. If you have anything to do, you can read it to me. Maybe for the sake of your piety, the gods will bless you with smooth sailing."
Chen Qin:......
She just wanted to get rid of Ren Changtao and had no other ideas.
But since Jinli likes to listen...
Chen Qin's eyes flashed with determination, she would read it every day if she had nothing to do!
An all-round assistant who can meet all the needs of customers! -
Jinli's filming went smoothly, but Gu Cheng's filming was difficult.
At this time, a week has passed since the first day of shooting.
But playing the high school heroine Li Xiu'e, I still can't get into the mood.
It's not that he was too scared. He was the first to make a scary expression even though he was not in a scary scene.
He just acted too panicked, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
In order for her to successfully pass the test in her heart, Yan Jianqiao could only accompany her over and over again.
What is very unfortunate is that although Li Xiu'e and Gu Cheng did not have one-on-one scenes in the early stage, Gu Cheng acted as a passerby.
In every shot of her, Gu Cheng's back or profile will be captured, or one of her arms will be exposed, etc.
That meant that when Li Xiu'e was grinding, Gu Cheng could only grind with her over and over again.
Gu Cheng didn't say anything and stayed with him as always.
The director thought about not using a stunt double, but Gu Cheng denied it. This was his first film and he felt it was unnecessary.
However, Gu Cheng's assistant, Xiaotong, was a little dissatisfied because Gu Cheng worked overtime every time filming, and his rest time was severely compressed.
After the other actors finish filming, they can return to the hotel to rest.
But after Gu Cheng finished filming, he had to rush to the next March Day group announcement.
If the heroine's acting skills were a little less stretched, then Gu Cheng would be able to get more rest time.
The little boy looked at the increasingly heavy bruises under his eyes and felt a little sorry for him.
He complained publicly many times on the set: "The high school heroine chosen by the director is too unreliable!
It's been a week, and she hasn't even finished filming a big scene in the script. She's been stuck in the Joker game for how long. At her pace, she might not be able to finish filming the Joker game in a month! ”
Xiaotong is an assistant, and most of the people around him are assistants to celebrities, or staff members who are free to watch the show.
Because he made no secret of it, it didn't take long for the entire crew to know about Assistant Gu Cheng's dissatisfaction.
Everyone has been in the crew for a long time, and everyone is a smart person. How can you still not understand the meaning of the person behind the kid?
Gu Cheng clearly used Li's words to express his dissatisfaction!
They are not so naive as to think that the assistant's personal behavior has nothing to do with the star.
In fact, Gu Cheng could still hold on and had the patience to wait.
It was Brother Guang who lost his patience.
After learning from Xiaotong that the crew's progress was very slow, Brother Guang couldn't sit still.
How much does it cost for your own artist to run an announcement?
How much is the new actress Li Xiu'e's salary?
Gu Cheng's time is calculated in seconds, and rest time is very luxurious for a rising star like him.
He finally gave Gu Cheng some rest time on the set, but he ended up becoming a grindstone for other actors.
Just ask: Is she worthy?
So the little boy's complaints outside were actually the result of Brother Guang's secret instructions.
As for Gu Cheng, his personal opinion is not that important. In addition to being the male lead of this drama, he is also a member of March Day, a popular boy band.
His personal thoughts are not as important as the team.
According to Tianding Entertainment's concept of cultivating a boy group, every member must make concessions for the team. Only when the entire team is prosperous can every member be benefited.
Gu Cheng is like this, and so are Yan Xingdong, Luo Yi and Chen Lin. Originally this was nothing.
Xiaotong's complaint, at most, allowed the crew to see which direction the situation was heading, but what should be done was still the same, after all, the director had the control over the crew.
The bad thing is that when Li Xiu'e was filming in the afternoon, she accidentally overheard the crew chatting and knew that Gu Cheng's team was dissatisfied with her, and her psychological pressure suddenly increased.
This showed in her performance, she seemed even more nervous!
In this scene, Li Feifei, played by Li Xiu'e, curiously follows her classmates to the clown game venue, which is an empty rooftop.
Because she did not have a ticket to watch the clown game, the students guarding the door refused to let her in.
Li Xiu'e had an idea and ran to another higher teaching building, using the higher roof to look at the lower roof.
When she saw what the so-called clown game was like, she felt a panic from the bottom of her heart to her body. She was so frightened by the overly exciting game content that she screamed!
At this time, Li Xiu'e had reached the higher roof.
On the other side, the actors were also taking their places on the roof of another building, and the crew was shooting in two scenes, A and B.
Yan Jianqiao was in charge of scene A, which was the scene where Li Xiu'e's expression was shot.
The filming had just started when Li Xiu'e poked her head out and looked down to see what was happening on other rooftops. She couldn't help but scream: "Ah!!"
"Click!"
Yan Jianqiao frowned and said: "You have to wait until they put the iron crown on their heads before you scream. I don't need you to have the right time, but you can't do it so early. They just deleted the slap." .”
Li Xiu'e trembled and whispered: "I'm sorry, director, I...I'm very sorry."
Yan Jianqiao tried his best to calm down, "Take a rest for five minutes and continue shooting later."
Group A took a break, but Group B had no problems and could continue filming.
There is no need to shoot the two scenes at the same time. They can be put together in post-editing, but he wanted to shoot a large frame background.
To merge two scenes into the same shot, a unity is required.
According to common sense, this kind of shooting is very simple, the actors only need to show off, but looking at Li Xiu'e's current appearance, Yan Jianqiao was a little suspicious.
Can it really be done?
After a morning of repeated shooting, this scene was finally finished with a lot of stumbling. Yan Jianqiao looked at the content in the camera with a serious expression.
He personally has no obsession with long and short lenses, and does not pursue unique and ultimate expression effects.
But as a director, he still has requirements for the picture.
This is the first film he has directed and also participated in the investment. If Li Xiu'e continued to perform like this, he felt that the early stage of the drama would not be exciting.
Just when Yan Jianqiao wanted to talk to Li Xiu'e, Li Xiu'e came over first, Lihua sobbing in the rain:
"Director, why don't you just fire me!"
Yan Jianqiao looked solemn: "Do you know what you are talking about? As an actor, you voluntarily give up acting? This is an insult to your career!"
Li Xiu'e covered her face and cried, "But I really can't continue filming. I, I... Gu Cheng doesn't like my performance either. Everyone thinks that my acting skills are poor and delay the progress of the crew. I'm under great pressure. Every day I can’t sleep well, and I don’t want to do that!”
Yan Jianqiao: "Gu Cheng?"
What does this have to do with Gu Cheng?
After listening to Li Xiu'e's half-sobbing and half-choking words, Yan Jianqiao finally knew that these news had spread among the crew.
To be honest, the kid was right.
Li Xiu'e can no longer enter the state, which delays not only Gu Cheng's time, but also the time of all the crew members.
But she is a new actress after all, and Yan Jianqiao feels that she is photogenic and has a lot to offer.
He also wants to discover unique actors like those famous directors.
So even though Li Xiu'e's acting skills were stretched, he still took the trouble to teach her.
Yan Jianqiao waited until she could no longer cry, then asked: "So you feel very unwilling to hear other people's complaints and want to leave the crew?"
Li Xiu'e felt calmer and lowered her head without speaking.
Yan Jianqiao said calmly: "I can't understand your thoughts. The crew has spent a week on you, and everyone's work has been delayed. If you are not good at acting, no one will say anything. You just study hard. < br>
But you are not. You have always been mentally unqualified. The crew is not a place to play house. Since you have accepted this drama, you must continue filming it well.
Whether the shot is good or bad is up to you. I'm also under a lot of pressure. I can't go to Gu Cheng because of your complaints, and I can't stop others from talking.
Because in my eyes, this is indeed not a slander, but a fact. If you are not convinced, then act well, hold your breath and let everyone see your growth. ”
Li Xiu'e still lowered her head and said nothing.
Yan Jianqiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw her like this.
For the first time, he thought, is it really wrong to find new talents, or is it destined that new directors cannot lead new talents?
Li Xiu'e was the high school heroine he personally selected, and she perfectly fit her imagination of the character in the script.
Even though his acting skills are young, Yan Jianqiao thinks he can give it a try because he fits the role well.
But now just such a little pressure makes her cry, and the other staff haven't even started to squeeze her out yet!
After all, she still couldn't figure it out. Did she want Gu Cheng to apologize to her?
Yan Jianqiao said indifferently: "Think about it carefully. I will give you a day off today. You don't need to film for now. I will film again tomorrow."
Li Xiu'e left silently.
Yan Jianqiao sincerely hopes that she can get better and not be defeated by the pressure.
But tomorrow——
Li Xiu'e has left the crew!
When the news spread, the crew was a little surprised.
She actually ran away like that?
As a new actress, she was still just an art candidate, and she could act with a well-known A-list star like Gu Cheng. Technically speaking, Gu Cheng was still supporting her, but she actually gave up like that?
Yan Jianqiao was so angry that he wanted to call someone to curse!
But it was impossible for the crew to stop filming just because one person was absent. Money would have to be burned every day, so he first asked the assistant director to urgently shoot less important location scenes.
Fortunately, the heroine's role in high school is not that heavy, and there are also many roles for other characters, so she can handle it.
When the child heard the news that Li Xiu'e had run away, he was speechless for a while, and his expression was a little awkward all morning.
After Gu Cheng finished filming the morning scene, during the lunch break, the child quietly walked up to him and asked cautiously: "Brother Gu, did I do something wrong?"
Gu Cheng glanced at him and said, "You did something wrong."
The child didn't notice the change in his tone and whispered: "I shouldn't speak ill of Li Xiu'e in private. I didn't expect her to be so unbearable mentally. She just ran away after being complained about a few times."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Running away is not necessarily a bad thing."
The child couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Gu Cheng didn't care, he acquiesced to what the kid said. The busy announcements couldn't keep him busy anymore, and he also needed to rest. I asked the operations officer to send 30 small red envelopes to everyone, opened Alipay, searched for the password red envelope, and entered the password: Congratulations on burning incense for reaching one million words
