Chapter 86 Just tell me if it’s worth it
The shooting in the morning went very smoothly. As long as the actors who co-starred did not make mistakes, Gao Yuanyuan would do it again and again almost every time.
If you don’t know better, you might think that the director is fooling around and letting things slip.
But in the eyes of the crew, Gao Yuanyuan's changes can't even be called changes. Once she's on the show, it's like she's a different person.
It will only make you feel that this is not acting at all, it is like... it is like repeating her own life, and it does not look like acting at all.
Just like eating and drinking, you can have it at your fingertips, it’s extremely simple.
I finished shooting the planned tasks in advance in the morning, and did not continue to shoot the afternoon plot. Instead, I ended the work early and waited for dinner.
Gu Changwei sat on the pony with a cigarette in his hand. He didn't smoke, but watched it burn quietly, his eyes empty, not knowing what he was wandering about.
Ning Hao squatted next to Gu Changwei, with a few pieces of moisture-proof cloth under his buttocks. He also held a cigarette in his hand and stared at the smoke in a daze.
For a long time, Ning Hao was so burned that he took a breath and quickly shook off the cigarette butt.
"Teacher Gu, I don't understand a bit."
Gu Changwei threw away the cigarette in his hand. Before he could make a move, Ning Hao quickly took out the cigarette, handed it to Lao Gu, and lit it for him.
Lao Gu took a deep breath, swallowed it and circulated it before slowly spitting it out.
"What don't you understand?"
Don't talk about you, I don't understand it either.
Ning Hao lit one himself, held it in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on with Gao Yuanyuan? Yesterday she was... so into a show? She's a bit awesome."
"You know a lot about Goubamao."
Lao Gu blew out the smoke ring and said softly: "I have seen a lot of people who are into drama. Being in drama is acting, and acting is acting. Being in drama is to bring in the character and add some acting skills, but..."
< br>
Then he took a deep breath and said, "It's too early to say this now. Maybe it's an extraordinary performance. Let's take a look at the scene this afternoon."
Ning Hao also nodded. According to the principle of shooting similar scenes nearby, the scene in the afternoon was in front of a weed beach on the side of the road. The heroine played by Gao Yuanyuan came to identify the body.
This situation is when acting truly shines.
When planning the filming, Gu Changwei had a rare argument with Cao Yang about the filming of the corpse identification.
He believes that this kind of plot is the best time to vent. He should carry the camera, follow the heroine's footsteps, and shoot from the heroine's perspective.
This can make the audience feel more involved and more tear-inducing. In other words, this kind of plot is the most suitable moment for "selling" tears.
Cao Yang denied his idea.
That would be too cliché. The story is already tragic enough, so there is no need to use traditional sensational and tear-jerking methods.
You should be calm and restrained here, just watch like an outsider.
Gu Changwei said nothing more.
In the first scene shot in the afternoon, the heroine takes a police car to the river. Here we only need to film the car that has arrived at the crime scene and the heroine in the car.
Everything is ready, the script is written, and filming begins.
Gao Yuanyuan, who looked normal at the moment and could greet everyone with a gentle smile, immediately entered the role. She was sitting in the passenger seat of the police car, looking ahead expressionlessly, with tears in her eyes but they never fell. .
It looked very peaceful, but there was also a sense of despair in the calmness.
"Click!"
Cao Yang shouted, "Get ready for the next game."
Gao Yuanyuan got out of the car, smiled politely at the staff around her, and bowed slightly to thank the stylist who came to touch up her makeup. Cao Yang walked over, and the next shot was a very ironic shot.
It is the shot of Gao Yuanyuan looking forward just now. Through her perspective, it is necessary to show a group that it is calm outside, the sun is shining high in the sky, the sun is bright, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything seems to be very beautiful.
Seeing Cao Yang coming over, Gao Yuanyuan, who was gentle and cute just now, immediately stopped her smile and turned around, as if she hadn't seen Cao Yang.
"Yuanyuan."
Gao Yuanyuan turned around reluctantly, with a formulaic smile on her dull face, "Director Cao, what are your orders?"
Cao Yang waved, walked forward, pointed to a small slope, and said: "Waiting for you to go down from here, you can act dull and indifferent, like a puppet, walking forward mechanically, until you reach the child in front of you. The props are there.”
"Okay, director."
After replying, Gao Yuanyuan asked again out of nowhere, "You used to...be a screenwriter, right?"
"Huh?"
Cao Yang was a little surprised by Gao Yuanyuan's question, but he still said casually: "I am the screenwriter of these movies."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly staggered, and Cao Yang reflexively helped her.
Then he saw Gao Yuanyuan glance at him with a complicated expression, twisting around and throwing away his outstretched arm, as if a look of hatred and disgust flashed through her for a moment.
Cao Yang was a little confused, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Gao Yuanyuan was brewing feelings.
Everything is ready, the script is written, and the shooting starts.
This is a long shot and a long shot. The camera is set up on the slope, like an outsider, watching Gao Yuanyuan mechanically walk to the small slope.
Gao Yuanyuan looked ahead blankly, but seemed not to see the small slope, so she stepped over it.
As a result, he missed the mark and fell down.
The assistant may have thought it was a mistake, and was about to help Gao Yuanyuan up, but Ning Hao, who was standing next to the camera, had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged her. He was afraid that she would scream out, and he conveniently covered the assistant's mouth.
The crew member who guest-starred as a police officer below also reached out to help Gao Yuanyuan, but it doesn't matter. It's normal for police officers to help people.
Gao Yuanyuan ignored the police and didn't care about the dirt on her body and face. She just walked forward mechanically, as if everything was meaningless at this moment.
When she was still five or six meters away from the child's prop that fell to the ground, Gao Yuanyuan stopped. It wasn't that she stopped. She was still walking, but it was just a small mechanical movement in place, almost stagnant.
This was a performance that was not planned in advance. Before filming, I just told her to go down a small slope and then walk over.
What to do now? We can't let her stand still forever, right?
But this kind of wonderful shot is enough to be written into a textbook, so it can’t be scrapped because of this, right?
Cao Yang made a quick decision, picked up a police uniform and was about to put it on. Then he went into the mirror to help Gao Yuanyuan and helped her walk to the props.
There's nothing wrong with shooting it this way, it's reasonable, but it just kind of ruins this wonderful clip.
Before Cao Yang could take action, he saw Gao Yuanyuan take two steps forward and then collapse directly to the ground.
There were no tears, no crying, everything happened so naturally.
Cao Yang held the walkie-talkie and shouted "Ka! It's over!" regardless of the fact that he was only half-dressed
Then he just smashed the walkie-talkie on the ground to vent his unspeakable feelings. It was so fucking brilliant!
This shot is amazing!
This performance is so good!
