Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 291 Do you have a misunderstanding?
To put it bluntly, actors still need to constantly experience life, constantly analyze and understand the character's heart, simulate every word and deed, and finally strive to get close to the character.

After chatting for more than an hour, the time was about the same. When everyone came out, another protagonist, Guo Tianwang, arrived, and Duan Yihong took him to say hello.

Maybe because he hadn't seen the truth about Bai Ye chasing the murderer and Silence, Guo Tianwang obviously didn't know Su Ze, he thought it was just an ordinary friend visiting the class, and the filming started with simple greetings.

Su Ze didn't take it seriously either. After all, he is from Hong Kong Island. It's normal that he hasn't watched domestic online dramas.It is good to meet Duan Yihong this time, if you get to know Duan Yihong in advance, you may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Standing near the monitor and watching everyone perform on the spot is the main purpose.

It just so happens that today is the last scene between Duan Yihong and Guo Tianwang before their finale. It may be because they have invested in an invisible guest. The situation of the secret visitor is very similar. The scenes are basically concentrated in a villa, and the audience is attracted by dramatic conflicts.

But the investment cost is too far to see the guests, after all, Guo Tianwang is not cheap!
Speaking of family themes, the most outstanding ones that Su Ze can think of are Diet Men and Women and Blood Guanyin.Especially the blood Guanyin, which can be called a classic, where there is no sound, there is wind and thunder.

Carefully study Duan Yihong's performance, because of the requirements of the role and temperament, many emotions need to be expressed in detail, does it feel like acting under pressure?

That's right, it's not closed.

Instead, press it!

Su Ze frowned, obviously feeling that the state was not quite right, and he could control it through adjustments, but there was always a feeling that he couldn't use it.

What Su Ze didn't understand the most about this script was why did Mr. Wang form such a non-blood family?
Breaking away from script creation and returning to director Chen Zhengdao's personal preference, Su Ze gradually understood that the reason why Mr. Wang formed this family was, on the surface, to imprison him in a poor woodcutter and force him to repent, so as to avenge his dead son.

In fact, what he did was not only for revenge, but also to satisfy his own extremely perverted psychological desire.

Because he is a man who has been suppressed by patriarchy for many years and has an extremely twisted heart.

At first, because of his father's objection, he was forced to break up with Roy.Since then, she has been looking for a lover for many years without success, so she chooses to marry Zhang Xiaoxue and give birth to Roy's son Wang Chuwei under the pretext of giving birth.

Fortunately, Wang Chuqi, like Roy, also has a pair of sensitive gray pupils, so for Mr. Wang, it not only means the rebirth of his lover, but also the continuation of his photography dream.

However, a school bus accident accidentally took the life of Wang Chuzhen. One can imagine how painful Mr. Wang was at this time. He had nowhere to appeal, so he could only vent his anger on the school bus driver who was found not guilty.

And the revenge method he adopted was not physical destruction, but mental destruction, wanting the so-called murderer to suffer the same pain and lose the most important thing in life.

Yu Kunqiao is an orphan, so he designed and built this home, so that he can feel the warmth of "home" first, and then severely deprive him of it.

Because in Mr. Wang's opinion, this is a crueler punishment than death!

Looking at the two actors who were in fierce conflict on the set, Su Ze finally understood what the director of this work wanted to express at its core.

Expose the continuous harm caused by the patriarchal will to the individual?

The most extreme thing is that Mr. Wang, a victim of patriarchal will, actually blackened step by step in the process of resisting patriarchy, and finally became patriarchy itself?
In order to allow homosexuals to be reborn, they coaxed a woman who loved him deeply into becoming a surrogate; in order to vent his personal anger, he did not hesitate to imprison an innocent low-level person; he even fabricated a false home and became a nominal father...

The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon,
In a blink of an eye, the victim was dressed in a yellow robe and became the next perpetrator.

Thinking of this, Su Ze couldn't help shaking his head secretly. In all fairness, this work is a bit of a waste of several powerful acting skills, including Guo Tianwang who seems to be dominant!
As for what Chen Zhengdao kept saying that he hoped that the audience would get close to each character and feel the inner fear with heart?

Come on, that's not how movies create characters!

At least a commercial film with a limited duration does not have such space.

Movies are always divided into protagonists, supporting actors and instrumentalists. The audience can only "approach" and "observe carefully" the protagonist.

But the secret visitor is a family of five, can you determine who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role?
The weight of the five leading roles is almost equal, and the complex and entangled inner activities are also hidden. Unless those so-called audiences with superior memory and understanding, it is almost an impossible task to approach each character and observe carefully.

Based on Su Ze's experience in filming suspense films, the secret visitor adopts a nested structure of "guessing - solving puzzles".The first eight 10 minutes are all riddles and foreshadowing, only for the second three 10 minutes to solve the puzzle and the truth.

And these character mysteries and plot mysteries are not unraveled one by one step by step, but put them together and solve them at the end?

If the film adopts this kind of structure, then the different backgrounds, experiences, and mentality of the previous characters must be covered. In other words, the characters must be able to stand up!
It all depends on the lines and details that can only be expressed vaguely, and a feinted shot at the character reminds the audience to pay attention but cannot explain the so-called metaphor clearly...

Not enough to see at all!
For example, a scene that Su Ze could think of: Zhang Zifeng handed the ice cream to Mrs. Wang, but she let go of her hand and the spoon fell to the ground.

Only when the audience watches the entire film and recalls it carefully, can they understand what this scene means.

Oh, it turned out that the pregnant Mrs. Wang had long wanted to escape. Zhang Zifeng used the dropped spoon as a metaphor for her?

Let go when it's time to let go!
Doesn't that sound ingenious?
But the problem is that when this scene happened, the audience didn't know that Mrs. Wang's child was not Mr. Wang's at all!
The result of this information asymmetry is: in the eyes of the audience, the family atmosphere is weird, the family members seem to be in harmony, and they don't know the true identity and tacit understanding between Zhang Zifeng and Mrs. Wang.

What are you doing!
As a viewer, I also don't know what it means that Rong Zishan's younger brother wants to play the trumpet for Zhang Zifeng's sister several times but refuses to listen?
I don't know why Zhang Zifeng ran into the basement over and over again to open up with Duan Yihong, a murderer, and even put on makeup and underwear?

The entire eight and 10 minutes consisted of such riddles, symbols and metaphors?

Su Ze understands that Chen Zhengdao designed everything to detonate the final answer, but...

This fuse is a bit too long!
From the perspective of the audience, I know that the story of this family has a lot to say, but I just can't figure out the story, or even see its direction.

I also know that every actor works very hard to convey very subtle and complex emotions, but they just can't see the purpose of these emotions.

And the director's final request to the audience is: You must remember all the unintelligible and inexplicable details in the first eight or ten minutes!
In this way, when Lao Tzu reveals the answer to the mystery, and then recalls the previous foreshadowing metaphors, the exquisite acting skills of the actors will definitely be full of praise and endless aftertaste!
Brother Chen,

Did you misunderstand your audience?
