Chapter 161 No acting skills
[Happy Camp] The recording ended. Gu Wei said goodbye to Yang Mi and Reba and returned to Dongshan Island to continue filming.
"Teacher Gu, was [Happy Camp] fun?"
Everyone in the crew knew that Gu Wei took two days off to record [Happy Camp]. Guan Xiaotong asked curiously while eating the box lunch.
[Left Ear] has been filming for almost a month, and Gu Wei found that among the main actors in the crew, the one with the best personality is the youngest Guan Xiaotong.
This little girl is worthy of being a child star. She has been outgoing and carefree since she was a child. She gives Gu Wei the impression that she has similar personalities to Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan.
Within a few days of turning on the computer, I became familiar with Gu Wei, and together with Ma Chun, I often chatted with Gu Wei when there was nothing wrong.
“It’s okay. [Quick Book] is a recorded variety show. Although there is no fixed script, you can see that the tens of minutes on TV actually take several hours to record. Overall, it is still I'm a little tired."
Gu Wei took a bite of shredded potatoes and put it in a bowl, and said while eating.
“I have loved watching this kind of happy variety show since I was a child, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. Plus I am young and not a big star.
When I become famous in the future, I will go on variety shows more often. "
Hearing this, Gu Wei raised his head and glanced at Guan Xiaotong, seeing that the little girl looked serious.
"Why? Do you think recording a variety show is interesting? "
"Yes, it's so fun. You can work while playing games, and you don't have to miss out on making money. It's perfect. ”
Guan Xiaotong had a look of longing on her face. In her understanding, recording a variety show is just playing a game. It is much easier than filming.
"Your wish will definitely come true.
You can see that there are more and more variety shows on TV stations now. As for you, your reputation is getting bigger and bigger starting from this year. Even if you want to be a host like Teacher He in the future It’s not a problem.”
Gu Wei looked at Guan Xiaotong and said seriously.
Of course what he is thinking is, 'In the future, you will meet the greasy middle-aged man who was once the idol of the military art school and the fat funny sister, and they will lead you on the road of no return in funny variety shows. . ’
No wonder Guan Xiaotong rarely had any works released after she appeared on variety shows. Everyone’s impression of her was also that of the host of [Ace vs. Ace].
It turns out that people themselves not only have no discrimination against variety shows, but also yearn for them.
Similar to her future boyfriend Lu Han, both of them seemed to have no ambition after they fell in love, and they seemed to want to keep messing around in comedy variety shows.
"Really? That is my dream life, but I have never learned to host. Will I be able to host by then?"
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Guan Xiaotong thought It seemed like I took it seriously, and now I’m starting to think about how to be a host.
“Of course, it’s not difficult to be a host. You see, [Happy Camp] and [Tiantian Xiang] are both a host team, with as many as 5 or 6 people. When the time comes, there will be a professional in charge of hosting. Just play the game with me.”
Gu Wei carefully helped her analyze and gave her suggestions.
"Okay, when I become the host, I will definitely ask Teacher Gu to be a guest."
The two of them chatted as if this matter was about to happen.
"No problem, I will definitely go and support sister Xiaotong!"
Gu Wei is holding the rice bowl in one hand and patting his chest with the other hand, as if you are hosting the show and I will support you. .
Ma Chun, who was watching their performance while eating next to him, couldn't help but feel happy.
"Sister Sichun, what are you laughing at? When I invite you, you have to come too, you are all my connections!"
"Okay, okay~ I will come when the time comes. Definitely go.”
[Zuo Er] was shooting in an orderly manner on the beautiful Dongshan Island.
On the first day of filming, Gu Wei filmed a basketball scene and a rivalry scene with Ma Chun. When everyone thought that day was a good start, no one expected that the first day The shooting is almost at its peak.
It is true that several young actors in this movie have no acting skills, especially Chen Duling as the heroine.
What she studied has nothing to do with acting. She studied aircraft manufacturing and engineering in college, so she is a proper science and engineering girl.
And I had no acting experience before filming this movie, so I was a complete novice.
When the movie was first shot, let alone acting, I couldn’t even find the right camera position, and I had no shooting experience at all.
There is no other way. Director Su Youpeng can only teach me bit by bit, slowly polishing one shot after another.
He found the heroine himself. In his mind, it didn't matter if Chen Duling didn't have acting skills, as long as she played herself. Su Youpeng chose the actor based on the temperament of "Li Er" in the play, so just let her be herself.
Of course, in order to make the filming of the movie smoother, Su Youpeng opened a small acting class on the set and invited teachers from the theater major to come over and give lessons to the young actors in the set during their spare time during filming.
Mainly to train Chen Duling, and also to give lessons to several other actors, all for the better shooting of the movie.
There must be no Gu Wei among the students in class. After all, he is a student in the acting department of the Film Academy. Coupled with his achievements, the director will not ask him to attend classes.
So, one of Gu Wei's great pleasures on the set was to watch Chen Duling and Guan Xiaotong take classes after the show.
Gu Wei takes acting class every day at school. It is obvious that this teacher teaches method-based things, which means telling actors what kind of reaction and performance you should make under what circumstances. Once you master these routines, Can handle a variety of performance situations. This kind of acting method is really suitable for newcomers like Chen Duling who are new to acting. It is relatively easy to get started and will be enough for acting in idol dramas in the future.
Gu Wei was eating melon seeds from a distance and watching them in class. What about liberating nature, acting like a tree, acting like a dog, etc. He didn’t think much of it when he was doing it in school, but now he sees it It’s still fun to do it for others.
There was one person in the class who had the same reaction as Gu Wei, and that was Chen Duling. Because she had zero foundation in acting, she always laughed during the training class. The teacher had no choice but to punish her when she saw this. She faced the wall, feeling like she was teaching elementary school students.
Gu Wei also seems to know why Chen Duling slowly disappeared into the entertainment industry after filming "Left Ear". This little girl really has no acting skills.
Chen Duling started out as the leading actress in a movie that grossed 480 million yuan at the box office, and was a perfect choice for domestic entertainment.
Ma Chun, Guan Xiaotong, including the actors Yang Yang and Ou Hao, who is not higher in status and famous than her, everyone is like a star, and they are cooperating with her to make movies.
To be honest, this starting point is far away. Several female stars who have good relationships with Gu Wei, such as Nazha, Reba, and even Tang Yan and Yang Mi, are not comparable.
When they first entered the entertainment industry, these women basically debuted as supporting actresses in TV series, and step by step they reached the point where they later became popular.
That is to say, Zhou Dongyu, who debuted in Mou Girl, can compete with her, but the box office of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is only 160 million, and based on statistics, she cannot beat her.
Looking at the appearance, although Chen Duling is not a bright beauty, she still has the face of youthful first love, and she is much more beautiful than Zhou Dongyu.
However, the subsequent development of the two people is very different. Many years later, Zhou Dongyu has become the third best actress, but Chen Duling can only appear in Xiaohua Bailu's TV series "Chang Yue Jin Ming" ] as a female supporting role.
Although the beauty is still the same, the resources have been downgraded.
The reason is that she has no acting skills, and her pure and beautiful persona makes it difficult for her to publicize scandals. After [Left Ear], she almost starred in every drama she filmed, and her popularity gradually increased. was consumed.
Although many young actors nowadays do not have "acting skills", and some are a little bit poor, it is also an indispensable thing if you want to continue in the film and television industry for a long time and go higher and higher. .
Just like Zhou Dongyu, although he looks average and has an unlikable personality, his acting skills are really good. He has won the Golden Horse, Golden Statue, and Golden Rooster awards in the Chinese film industry at a young age, so he is naturally invincible. land.
Zhao Liying and Yang Zi, who later became popular in the TV drama circle, were also loved by the audience because of their good acting skills. If the same script was played by another person, the TV series might not be a hit. They have that ability, and naturally they will be better in the later stage. It will be very popular.
Although Chen Duling seems to have no talent, the little girl can still endure hardships.
When filming on location, she was so nervous at first that she would blink non-stop when the light was bright, and the frequency of blinking was very fast. In the words of director Su Youpeng, flies would be attracted by him. The eyelashes are instantly curled.
From then on, whenever she blinked, the director would sit in front of the monitor and shout loudly: "Look at how many there are underground and count them yourself."
Later, in order to practice not blinking, Chen Duling would take out a mirror and practice for several hours whenever she had free time. At first, everyone thought she loved beauty too much and looked in the mirror all day long.
Later, the troubled Guan Xiaotong asked her the reason, and Chen Duling said that it was to practice not blinking for filming.
After the incident spread, everyone in the crew had a different view of her. Although NG was also scolded by the director, everyone gradually recognized this heroine who had poor acting skills but was willing to work hard.
Chen Duling's efforts have also affected other people in the crew, especially Ma Chun, who is the second female lead. She was originally the best acting performer in the crew except Gu Wei, but now she is gradually feeling pressure.
The world was in drama, Gu Wei saw Ma Chun's lack of interest and asked.
"What's wrong, Si Chun?
Have you looked unhappy since the last two days?"
Ma Chun looked up at Gu Wei, frowned and said: "Originally, I lost more than ten kilograms to be in the show, but my weight has increased again these days. It must be very ugly in the camera."
After hearing this, Gu Wei touched his chin and thought for a while.
“In this way, I will teach you a set of movements, do it several times every morning and evening, and then eat less or no dinner, and you can stay in shape if you are willing to wait.”
"Really? Thank you so much, Teacher Gu!"
Ma Chun looked surprised.
When Zhao Liying was filming "Shanshan Is Coming", she was worried about gaining weight because she ate too much. Gu Wei initially accompanied her on night runs, but later found that the effect was not very good, so he asked someone to learn how to do it. Zhao Liying was taught a set of yoga movements specifically designed to slim down and beautify the body, and the effect is much stronger than simply running.
In the evening, Gu Wei took the time to give a complete set of yoga movements to Ma Chun. After Guan Xiaotong knew about it, he also came over to learn it.
“How old are you and you still need to lose weight?”
Gu Wei looked at Guan Xiaotong who placed the yoga mat next to Ma Chun and said.
"You don't understand this. No matter how old you are or how much you weigh, losing weight is something that a girl should carry out throughout her life."
Gu Wei shook his head when he saw this. Regardless of her, one sheep is still being driven, and two sheep are being herded.
In fact, the movements are very simple and not difficult to learn, but it is not so easy to do a standard set.
In one night, the two of them successfully learned the art.
But the difference in the follow-up is that Guan Xiaotong only tried to persevere for two days and then gave up her plan to lose weight. In her words, she just had to eat more meals. Only when she is full can she have the strength to lose weight. Now is the preparation stage.
Machun takes a yoga mat to a large platform on the 4th floor of the hotel every day before dawn, and starts doing exercises with concentration. She is often covered in sweat in less than ten minutes.
After the show in the evening, I can still see her in that position, every day.
