Chapter 514 Exposing Lao Di's Vicious Vision

Gao Shuang has always felt that he is quite good at acting.

The perfect reproduction with the blessing of the physical training manual, the cheating guidance of the original film master, and even the lines are absolutely professional.

If this kind of performance is only a pass, then the old lady's requirements are too high.

Gao Shuang raised his eyebrows, stared at Mrs. Mary and asked, "I don't quite understand your criteria."

Mrs. Mary just smiled and didn't explain much.

It's completely lazy to talk!

Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Mo Jie, who was next to him, hurriedly explained to Gao Shuang in Chinese: "This pass is the baseline for Broadway elite actors, and it is the top in the world."

"Elite actor?"

Gao Shuang had heard of this concept in the previous chat with He Xiaoling.

Performers who can reach the level of elite Broadway actors are all geniuses.

Even Lu Jianhui and Mo Jie are performers who have just stepped into this level.

If it wasn't for the word "pass" that was too harsh, Gao Shuang could be proud at this time!
"I'd feel better if I said that!"

Gao Shuang helped Mrs. Mary's suitcase and led them to the garage.

Mrs. Mary acted very naturally when Gao Shuang took over her suitcase, as if in her heart this was the most basic cultivation of a gentleman.

On the way back, Mary chatted with He Xiaoling a lot.

Gao Shuang could see that Mrs. Mary loved He Xiaoling.

He took the time to ask curiously: "Mrs. Mary, can I ask you a question."

Mary gracefully made a please gesture: "Please speak."

Gao Shuang smiled and glanced at He Xiaoling next to him, and then asked, "What level is my Aunt He among elite actors?"

Mary didn't think at all, and said bluntly: "He is the most talented actress I have ever seen, and I rated her as excellent!"

Mary's evaluation is very strange, Gao Shuang is only passing, but He Xiaoling is excellent.

This was completely beyond Gao Shuang's expectations!
He Xiaoling looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Mrs. Mary, I... I'm not as good as you said..."

"Amazing!"

Gao Shuang didn't wait for He Xiaoling to finish speaking, gave her a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "It seems that Aunt He has made great progress in her studies this time!"

"No……"

He Xiaoling could hear that Gao Shuang's tone was sincere, even a little doting.

Hearing that Mary gave He Xiaoling such a high evaluation, Gao Shuang was really happy.

It is impossible to be jealous, the more powerful Aunt He is, the happier she is.

It's just that he somewhat disapproves of Mary's idealistic criteria for judging.

Mary seemed to see Gao Shuang's thoughts, and stretched out her hand to compare and said: "Actually, you are not bad! Although there is a little difference with He, I mean in terms of talent."

"Can you tell me?"

Gao Shuang shrugged and asked.

Mary's attitude finally became a little more serious, and she thought for a while before she said, "Your performance has no soul, it feels more like... um... imitation! Do you understand what I mean?"

"...Imitate...?"

Suddenly, Gao Shuang's eyes widened, and he repeated it unconsciously.

At this moment, the hairs on Gao Shuang's back stood up!

imitate!

Yes!

His performance has always been imitating, using various abilities to reproduce other people's performances.

It's just that no one has ever seen it!

But Mary directly pointed out the core of the problem, hitting the nail on the head with Gao Shuang's deepest secret hidden in his heart! ! !
How can this keep Gao Shuang's spine from getting cold! ! !
Mrs. Mary did not stop, but continued: "Maybe you have one or several very powerful acting teachers, they will demonstrate every scene for you before you act, and even tell you how to deal with many details, but You are very talented in imitation, and you can perfectly reproduce their performances, but this is not your own after all!"

"..."

Gao Shuang was silent, and even looked out of the window with some evasive eyes!
He suddenly felt that the means he was proud of could not be hidden in front of this Mrs. Mary!

This feeling of being stripped and watched is very bad! ! !
He Xiaoling also noticed Gao Shuang's strangeness, and pulled Mary's arm: "Mrs. Mary..."

"Oh fine."

Mary keenly caught the accusation in He Xiaoling's tone, and after apologizing, she said to Gao Shuang again: "Gao, in fact, you are not always so bad."

"hehe?!!"

The corner of Gao Shuang's mouth twitched unnaturally.

Mrs. Mary thought for a while before pointing out her point of view with difficulty: "At least occasionally, you can still see the inner expression, for example, playing the piano on the Virginia, and the monologue of the last farewell!"

Gao Shuang couldn't help complaining in his heart, I have acted in so many scenes, can you only pick out these two paragraphs?
Mrs. Mary really lived up to Gao Shuang's complaints, and after thinking for a while, she said insincerely: "There is also your rivalry with He in "Kung Fu", but I think it is more brought to you by He's own emotions Feedback! Not all your own abilities!"

The poisonous tongue was in a mess, and Gao Shuang's performance was severely criticized.

Fortunately, this Mrs. Mary is not as violent as ever, and she always maintains the elegance of a lady even when she is venomous.

"..."

Gao Shuang took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This is really good news for me!"

……

After the main actors arrived, the crew began to operate officially.

In the early morning of the second day, when the light was dim, the whole resort was already boiling.

The actors boarded dozens of buses in an orderly manner and drove towards the port where the Titanic was moored.

The pier where "Sea Pianist" was filmed last time has not been demolished. After a new round of expansion, many scenes and details have been improved.

Four large cranes set up a green screen with a height of more than 40 meters and a length of nearly [-] meters at the location where the edge of the scene is divided.

This giant green screen alone cost Gao Shuang nearly [-] million yuan.

The green screen seems to have no technical content, just a large enough green cloth, but it is not the case at all!
The first point of setting up the green screen is to be flat enough!
Ordinary cloth has good ductility. If a 40-meter piece of ordinary cloth is hoisted, it will form folds due to its own ductility.

These folds must be held in place by a frame that is taut on all sides in order to stretch them.

The 40-meter-long, [-]-meter-high frame needs to be tightened with ropes, and the tension on the center of the cloth will be unimaginable.

Even using thick cloth with high enough strength and a large enough frame cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Such a fixed curtain is a giant kite placed by the sea, and it only needs a breeze from the sea to be dragged into the sky together with the crane behind it!
The green screen arranged by Gao Shuang on the shooting site is a multi-layer mesh structure, each layer is actually similar to gauze, and has a green mesh cloth composed of a special hexagonal structure. Under the premise of light, it can also effectively reduce the wind resistance it receives.

It is also because it is multi-layer superimposed, and the deformation of each layer is different due to the different fixed stress points at the upper end.

Through the principle of electrostatic interaction of the material itself, the overall deformation is offset while ensuring the bonding of each layer, and finally the perfect flatness required by the film is achieved only with the support of the crossbar.

Although it seems a bit tricky to say, the technological content itself is very high.

The silk thread used in this unique mesh cloth is very strong, somewhat similar to green fishing line, and it is also weakly magnetic!
It also has the excellent characteristics of not sticking to water. Even if half of it is submerged in water, there is no slight change in color when it is lifted.

The only downside might be that it's expensive...

But something like this is not a one-time investment. There are many places that need to use this green screen in the back of "Titanic".

And even if the filming of this film is finished, future films can be reused, and even if it is rented out, there will be continuous income.

A large number of actors have gathered in the scene in front of the green screen, more than 2 people!

Even if the filming did not start, it showed a posture of being full of voices.

But the busiest person on the set right now is not the costumes and make-up, but the lighting Lu Jiu!

The weather was fine today, absolutely perfect with natural light.

Of course, under the premise that there is no green screen occlusion!
Shadows from the green screen cast large shadows on the houses near the harbor.

If these shadows are processed with post-processing techniques, the overall picture will be distorted.

The only way to do that is to light it up with lights in all directions!
Filling light under natural light is definitely a high-end technical task, and it is even more difficult to fill such a large scene.

Lu Jiu not only needs to fill in the light for houses, streets, and pedestrians, but also takes care of the shadows on the green screen.

22 giant high-power searchlights with diffusers precisely cut light into the scene from all directions.

Lu Jiu, who was standing on the roof, used the walkie-talkie to control the movement of each lamp from time to time.

Lu Jiu, who looks extremely irritable, is the real "king of the world" at this moment!
For he said, let there be light! ! !

……

The scene is almost completely restored to the port of Belfast, Southampton on Earth.

In order to facilitate dispatch, loudspeakers carefully disguised by Da Liu were placed in many places.

Gao Shuang can use an old-style microphone on the director's stage to spread his voice to the audience.

More than 2 actors from all over the world, led by hundreds of temporary assistant directors mixed in the ensemble team, walked to the predetermined position in an orderly manner.

Most of these people are professional actors who joined the group through the training program of the World Literature and Art Association.

Everyone has received an orthodox acting education, and being a group performer is simply overkill.

But because the professionalism is very good, even if there are more than 2 people, there is no trouble, and even everyone has their own scheduled roles, even the image of a postman, the design is very full!
The chaotic pier scene is actually orderly and full of life when it really moves.

After the filming started, apart from the sound from the scene, an old voice came out from the loudspeakers scattered everywhere:

"It's mid-April in southern England, and the cold fog that permeated the winter has gradually dissipated.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth, the gentle wind blows gently from the sea, and the mist is like smoke in the morning, which is peaceful and comfortable.

The huge hull of the Titanic seems to be moored in the harbor like a giant.

The wharf was full of people and traffic, and mail trucks and freight cars shuttled back and forth.

If you look from a distance, you can only see the huge hull of the Titanic, and people on the deck of this giant are like ants moving...

A luxury car of the latest model was hoisted into the boat, and as the boom moved, we saw a dense crowd.

There are boarding and seeing off, sightseeing and service...

All kinds of people gather on this pier to form a sea of ​​people, which is spectacular. "

Gao Shuang, who was sitting in the director's studio, was very satisfied with this monologue from Zhao Xuedan.

The rhythm is well grasped, and it is closely integrated with the passing carriages, hoisted cars, and shuttle flow of people in the scene, without any deviation.

Suddenly, a cold west coast accent sounded beside Gao Shuang: "This Chinese actor is very good!"

Because it was a panoramic scene and it was the first test shoot, there was no need to keep silent in the director's studio, so Gao Shuang didn't mind Mary's sudden speaking.

Gao Shuang glanced at Mary curiously.

On the other hand, Mary looked around, as if trying to find out where the voice of the narration came from, and after searching to no avail, she said to Gao Shuang: "The owner of this voice is one of the best actors I have met in your crew so far! "

"Ok?"

Gao Shuang knew that Zhao Xuedan was in the waiting area outside the camera, and she had other tasks.

But Gao Shuang asked Mary back as a prank: "Couldn't it be the professional dubbing I found?"

The corners of Mary's mouth curled up slightly: "Are you testing my professional standards?"

"No, just curious."

Gao Shuang spread his hands and said, "The tone of your judgment seems very certain!"

"It's not hard to say she's an actress."

Mary didn't mean to argue with Gao Shuang, and explained confidently: "She speaks in a very special way! This is the tone of voice that actors only have, that kind of voice that reveals full emotions, as if telling her own story .”

Gao Shuang thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "It sounds very plain..."

"dull?"

Mary's complexion finally fluctuated slightly, and she looked at Gao Shuang questioningly and said, "Young man! I don't know how you came to such a conclusion! But the details in this voice are impeccable, I just rely on her narration It’s as if you can see an image of a twilight in a wheelchair. It’s calm but full of thrilling memories! This kind of line skills is rare even among elite actors.”

"Well, although it's a bit mysterious, it still makes sense."

Gao Shuang touched his nose embarrassingly, and diverted his embarrassment by changing the topic: "Do you want to see her in person?"

"No, it's good to keep a little mystery."

Mrs. Mary turned her attention back to the performance area, and said with some pride: "If she is the old Ruth, you will save a lot of salary to hire a good voice actor."

"Okay! But she will have other characters coming out later, so you should be able to recognize her."

Gao Shuang looked at Mary and continued: "Now I have some confidence, you are indeed very professional in acting."

Mary stood up straight, glanced at Gao Shuang who was sitting, and said condescendingly, "Young man, I don't need you to judge my strength."

After speaking, he turned around and left the director's studio.

"Ha ha!"

Gao Shuang murmured to himself with some toothache: "This...is really a proud old lady!"
