Chapter 88 Perseverance
Surprise.
In the main hall of the front yard of the courtyard, about twenty main actors gathered together and started a script reading under the chairmanship of Liu Heng.
Two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. After each reading, there was a two-hour group discussion. While each other was filling in the gaps, we were also exploring more performance possibilities.
Everyone competes on the same stage, and the gap between seniors and young actors is clearly reflected.
The bickering between Zheng Tianshou [Sony] and Li Jianyi [Wu Liangfu] is really a textbook classic.
As for the rivalry scene between Pan Xin [Queen Mother] and He Saifei [Toffee], even if you close your eyes and just listen to the sound, the two full-bodied characters can still come to mind.
In order to catch their scenes, young actors often have to subconsciously increase their emotions, and then adjust them repeatedly to find the appropriate benchmark.
Among them, Deng Chao, Hao Lei and Xu Kun performed better.
This is not to say that they are much stronger than others, but because the characters they play are all emotional characters.
One is willful, the other is unruly, and the other is disobedient and resentful. They have a certain energy about them, and even if their emotions are aggravated, they don't appear abrupt or dramatic.
The most difficult ones are Huo Siyan [Wu Yunzhu] and Li Donghan [Boguoer]. Most of Wu Yunzhu's scenes are as beautiful as Qiu Ye Jingmei. Even in the quarrel scenes, there is not much emotional expression.
As for Li Donghan...
This kid probably grew up in a honeypot. His facial expressions and movements are all right, and his lines are not weak, but his eyes can't seem to find the feeling of frustration.
Even if he found out that his brother Shunzhi had openly gone to his home and flirted with his wife Wu Yunzhu, all he showed was blank eyes.
However, in the subsequent scene where he wanted to kill Wu Yunzhu but did not dare to do so, he acted with gnashing teeth and ferocity.
Liu Heng had no choice but to arrange him and Wang Hui together, and let Wang Hui take him with him more often.
Xu Kun was helpless to Li Donghan. He could only occasionally find opportunities to smooth things over for Huo Siyan and help her find the feeling of stealing someone behind her husband's back.
Don't tell me, it's really effective after a few times.
Huo Siyan's performance has obviously improved, but the real peak of her acting skills must be when she followed Xu Kun to meet Lu Liping, and the three of them had their own agendas.
Later, when Lu Liping took Huo Siyan to meet with the producer, Xu Kun no longer participated.
Firstly, he is really not interested in "Ignite 2", and secondly, he is following Mr. Li Fazeng and trying to adjust the changes in his eyes.
Previously, Xu Kun's eyes changed mainly into three levels: the double white eyes were ordinary, the third white eyes were evil and angry, and the fourth white eyes were fierce and fierce.
After in-depth research, Li Fazeng felt that his technique of changing his mental outlook by changing his eyebrows had more potential that could be explored further.
So I called Mr. Zheng Tianyong for help, and the two of them faced each other hand in hand. After seven or eight nights, they finally adjusted to a relatively full emotion based on the three white positions: perseverance.
Overall, there is not much change, there is still a trace of murderous intent, but it feels like there is light in the eyes, the temperament has changed from evil and angry to calm and powerful, and even the facial features look pleasing to the eye. few.
If you want to play the role of a naughty boy, you definitely have some skills left, but at least he is a little better than the current Deng Chao. As for his appearance in the play, it is even better.
This made Xu Kun very motivated, and he tried hard to fix this "perseverance" mode, and it was best to make it one of his normal states.
However, there is no hope in the short term. For the time being, he can only rely on external help to adjust to the 'perseverance' mode. Let alone becoming the norm, he can't even use it for performances.
Xu Kun himself estimated that it would take at least half a year to see results. This was based on his more than 20 years of exploration experience. If it were applied to ordinary people with no talent, practicing for three to five years might not yield any results.
While Xu Kun was obsessed with "Perseverance" and couldn't extricate himself, time slowly advanced to early November, and it was finally time for the crew to start filming.
This was also the first time that Xu Kun knew that the crew had to hold a press conference before filming started - but the press conference was held by seniors and the protagonists, and it had nothing to do with him, Prince Jian.
After the press conference, many actors with lower roles were disbanded, such as Li Yixiang, who played Qiao Bainian.
Huo Siyan, Yang Rong, Wang Ling, and Chen Jie are also among them, because they did not have any scenes in the first ten episodes - the new queen played by Wang Ling will not even appear until around episode 30. Without these four young girls, the crew suddenly felt a lot cleaner.
When the filming officially started in the afternoon, the first scene was a scene in which Shunzhi wanted to break off the engagement, but the officials tried to persuade him to no avail, and Jidu confronted the emperor head-on.
Xu Kun and Deng Chao were both familiar with this scene, so they were very familiar with it. They perfectly performed the unruly son of a powerful minister and the anxious, irritable and lack of confidence emperor.
This also gave the crew a good start in filming, and they didn't encounter any major setbacks for three consecutive days.
It wasn't until the filming of the scene where Shunzhi proposed his idea of governing the country in the royal study, but was rejected by the Queen Mother, that we encountered some troubles.
Because the room was too small, lighting and photography took up all the space. It was okay when filming the Queen Mother and Aunt Sumara. Both of them had rich experience in performing without physical objects, and they could act correctly with light bulbs in front of them.
But when Deng Chao arrived, he became a little numb. If he didn't make eye contact, his eyes would always be wandering.
In the end, Pan Xin tried several times, but couldn't find a suitable place, so she simply lay down at Deng Chao's feet to perform for him, with her legs curled up under the tripod.
It's winter now!
This immediately stunned the young actors.
Teacher Pan Xin is the most famous actor in the crew, and she is an old friend with Director Liu Heng. If she doesn't want to, even Liu Heng can't force her.
But in order to take care of the young actors, she lay down on the cold blue bricks without hesitation.
When the crew finished work and returned to the courtyard, Xu Kun and Deng Chao couldn't help but sigh and sigh when they mentioned this scene.
At this time, Li Yixiang suddenly called.
"What's wrong, Brother Li?"
Xu Kun asked curiously: "Wouldn't it be a few days before you rejoin the group?"
"It's Director Gao. He just called me and said that "Conquest" was finally sold."
"Has 'Conquest' been sold?"
Xu Kun was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Which TV station did it sell to?!"
Otherwise, he didn't dare to vouch for it. "Conquest" would definitely become popular after it aired, so he just pointed at the popularity and raised his eyebrows - at least we have to be reborn, so we can't always play supporting roles, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Yixiang said: "It wasn't a TV station, but a female owner of a hotel bought it. The total investment was 4.2 million, and it was sold for 4.5 million."
"The female owner of a hotel?"
Xu Kun was a little confused, where is this going?
Could it be because of his appearance that the hit drama "Conquest" was wiped out? !
Fortunately, Li Yixiang revealed immediately that the female boss seemed to have some connections, so she wanted to be a second-rate dealer. The TV series will definitely be broadcast, but she doesn’t know when it will be broadcast.
Xu Kun's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
"Director Gao said that we will all get together tomorrow night at Sister Jiang Shan's villa."
"Still going to her house? What if her husband then..."
"Already left."
Uh~
This is not surprising at all.
