Chapter 22 Rapid progress
“Attention all departments!” Director Li Dawei held the microphone and started the pre-shooting lecture.
"There are many actors in today's scene. Pay attention to the scheduling. Everyone must remember their position."
"All the extras know their own positions. Who dares to show up for me? , the laugh scene, the private chat affects the shooting..."
"Then just get out!"
Although Li Dawei is usually polite to the leading actors, when it comes time to teach the extras a lesson, he becomes domineering!
No way, who said that extra performers have no human rights?
Every time this happens, Zhang Yuan is glad that he has left the bottom of the crew.
At the same time, he also heard the voiceover of the director's words.
Just like if the prince makes a mistake while studying, the tutor will only punish the prince to read with him. This is called knocking the mountain to frighten the tiger, pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree.
It is said that it is asking the extras to pay attention, but it is actually reminding the leading actors to be alert and not make stupid mistakes.
The content of today’s scene is the first encounter between Liu Chunjiang, played by Zhang Yuan, and maid Xiao Lian, played by Xu Lu. The background is a wedding scene of a large family.
There are hundreds of people performing in this kind of big scene. If anyone makes a mistake, they have to start over again. Not only the actors are under great pressure, but the director is also under great pressure.
The salary for performing as an extra in one day is tens of thousands!
The scene was so grand that even Chen Kun, Dong Jie, and Kou Zhenghai, who were not participating in the performance, all came to watch.
""The Golden Family", scene 102, first shot, first time, ACTION!"
Played by Xu Lu, she is obviously a girl, but she is also dressed up as a joke by several ladies from the Jin family. Little Lian, who looks like a young lady, is looking for a way out in the corridor of the mansion.
A story about a prince and Cinderella is about to take place.
At this time, Zhang Yuan, who was also a guest, walked slowly from the other end of the corridor. Every move he made showed the elegance and confidence of a wealthy young man.
With the blessing of round-framed glasses, it looks even more elegant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gifted and elegant look.
Dong Jie on the side tilted his head and glanced, then bit his lip, obviously very happy with Zhang Yuan's current state.
At a corner, a fateful encounter quietly comes.
The disoriented Xiao Lian turned around and just came into Liu Chunjiang's line of sight.
A camera zoomed in on Zhang Yuan's face for a close-up shot.
This kind of face-fighting scene is difficult to act!
You want to fall in love at first sight, but there are no lines, you can only express it with your eyes and expressions.
Li Dawei stared at the monitor attentively.
And Zhang Yuan’s performance did not disappoint the director.
I was shocked at first sight.
The joy of the second sight.
The panic at the third glance.
Just like Guo Xiang met Yang Guo, Zhang Yuan successfully expressed what "a misunderstanding at first sight will last forever".
Obviously there was only a slight trembling of his eyelids, but he perfectly expressed different levels of emotions in a few seconds. Li Dawei in front of the monitor couldn't help but shout "Hello!"
"Sir, I would like to ask, where is the groomsmen's lounge?" At this time, Xu Lu spoke her lines.
But Zhang Yuan, who should have answered immediately, still maintained his previous expression...
This guy won't forget his lines, right... Li Dawei sweated a lot. The eye scene just now was perfect, but now that he's pulling his hips, this one is useless.
Chen Kun and others on the side were also worried about Zhang Yuan. Although they were proud of their academic background, they did not want Zhang Yuan, who had become friends, to make mistakes on such an important occasion.
At the same time, the three veteran actors who were also watching the show smiled.
Two seconds later, Zhang Yuan's expression changed, as if he was waking up from a dream, and then he spoke his lines.
"Just go straight through this road." After saying that, he paused for another half second, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and then said: "But the road here is very winding, how about I take you Go ahead.”
"Stuck!" Li Dawei shouted stop and took the lead in applauding.
At this moment, Chen Kun and others in the crowd also reacted.
“He didn’t forget the words when he was stunned for two seconds just now, it was intentional!”
“I just realized that these two seconds were to express love at first sight, Liu Chunjiang’s feelings for Xiao Lian. How obsessed." Qiao Zhenyu's chin twitched: "This is how we usually look at beautiful women."
"But the best thing is his second pause!"
"The other party asked for directions. He answered after being stunned, and then paused again for a moment. This moment left room for the character's emotional changes."
"By asking for directions, Liu Chunjiang wanted to follow the current. Offering to lead the way, I want to gain more time with the other party. "These two pauses are the essence of this performance!"
It's like listening to cross talk, why. Are you saying that Yu Qian is the "Queen"?
How to insert your own words between funny words, I have achieved the ultimate in this point. If you go faster, you will grab it, if you go slower, you will get muddy.
Just right, no more and no less pauses, this kind of rhythm is rare.
Hiss... Chen Kun took a breath, has it only been a few days?
Zhang Yuan's performance has become more refined, and his line skills have also been greatly improved.
Remembering the words is the first step, speaking smoothly is the second step, and Zhang Yuan has obviously reached the third step, having sufficient emotions and adding his own understanding of the character's state.
They only understood it now, and several veteran actors had already seen it, so they smiled just now.
Eager to learn, respectful of elders, and clever, several veteran actors fell in love with this junior more and more after watching his performance... The key is to give them a shot every day.
Shu Chang, who was also in the crowd and was waiting for his part, looked at Zhang Yuan blankly after hearing the analysis of Chen Kun and others.
“Brother Yuan is so awesome.”
“Sang Chang, why are you blushing?” Sissi was also looking at Zhang Yuan, but in her eyes Zhang Yuan was not an actor, but an actor. Breeder.
“You don’t like Zhang Yuan, do you?”
"Don't talk nonsense." Shu Chang pushed her. She blushed because she thought she had hated Zhang Yuan and felt guilty.
Unlike Sissi’s absolute confidence, Shu Chang is actually more introverted.
The next scene was Shu Chang's turn, and the content followed the previous scene.
Liu Chunjiang escorts Xiao Lian and meets the eighth lady of the Jin family played by Shu Chang on the way.
“Where have you been?”
"I've been lost looking for you everywhere. Thanks to this gentleman for bringing me here."
"Ms. Jin, you two can talk slowly and I won't interrupt you." Zhang Yuan has already arrived. After arriving, he nodded gracefully and left, leaving the shooting range of the camera.
What follows is the conversation between the master and servant of the Jin family. Zhang Yuan didn't go far, just watching from a few steps away.
"Hey, he..."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan had just finished painting, and when it was Shu Chang's turn to say her lines, she was stunned.
As mentioned before, Shu Chang works very hard, filming during the day, and finding tutors to take high school courses at night.
Maybe she was too tired and didn’t get a good rest, but her mind was empty and she couldn’t remember her lines at all.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was a few steps away, quickly reminded her with his mouth.
With this reminder, Shu Chang, who was already exceptionally smart, immediately came back to his senses.
“How did he know my surname was Jin?”
In fact, she was stunned for less than half a second and said the lines smoothly. Even the director didn't notice that she had forgotten the lines just now.
"Stuck! This time, the camera crew changed the angle."
Shu Chang stroked his chest, his heart beating wildly.
She also recognized the director’s voiceover before filming started, and she almost became the one who made the mistake.
"Brother Yuan, thank you. If you hadn't reminded me of my lines just now, this would have been ruined." Shu Chang, who was wearing two pigtails, walked up to Zhang Yuan and said shyly.
[Received thanks from Shu Chang, performance talent +5, appearance +1, learning ability +3! 】
He is indeed a top student, and he can also provide learning ability attributes.
"Did you forget the lyrics just now?" Chen Kun, like the director, didn't notice it at all.
"Hey! No, how could you remember her words?" Chen Kun reacted.
“I have memorized all the lines for the characters I need to play today.” Zhang Yuanyun patted the script in his hand calmly: “Know yourself and know the enemy.”
You act so naturally, it seems very unprofessional for us who only recite our own lines... Chen Kun, Qiao Zhenyu and Dong Jie looked at each other.
Are we too stupid, or Zhang Yuan is too strong.
Why did he improve so quickly?
A while ago, he often forgot his lyrics, but now he can recite everyone's lines backwards and forwards. How long has it passed!
I have seen talented people, but never such talented people!
"Yuan, why don't you teach us how you remember so many lines?"
The three "professionals" began to ask Zhang Yuan for advice...
