Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

But it doesn't mean to play side-by-side, ****.

Speaking of this, the director turned his head, looked at Su Huai deeply, and then took a puff of smoke and said, "I think your foundation is very solid. Although Bai Pi said that you were born in the Caotang team, you should Where have you learned for a while?"

Su bad nodded.

"This is very good. If you want to be an actor, you must at least have a look." The director first gave affirmation, but immediately changed course: "If it is in those blockbuster movies, what they want is someone like you, but If you want to be really popular, you can't even be in those commercial benchmarks."

"Why?" Su Huai really didn't understand this time.

His concept has always been that it is enough for an actor to perform his own role well. This is not only the job of an actor, but also the ultimate mission of an actor.

But the director in charge of the thatched cottage team denied this.

"Do you know what you lack as a person?" the director asked.

Su Huai frowned.

After a long while, he muttered what the director had said: "You owe Bian?"

As soon as the words came out, the director and other staff around him burst into laughter. The director licked his lips, patted Su Huai on the shoulder as an apology and said: "That was just an angry word, but the real one is actually a personality. .”

personality?

What do you mean?

To play a role, you should play what you look like, and what your personality is.

"Don't understand?" The director smiled: "Have you ever noticed that no matter it's a TV series or a movie, the protagonist or the supporting role, there are always a few people who have appeared in many dramas. Can’t remember their names. It’s like, oh, that so-and-so, who played a certain role in some drama, he may remember that role very clearly, but he has a vague impression of the person who played this role .”

"..."

Needless to say, there are indeed, and there are many more.

One cigarette, and it's almost time to finish smoking.

The director pinched his cigarette butt, and ended with the last sentence: "So you understand? Sometimes, if you act seriously, it may not be right to act well, especially when you need to attract people's attention."

Su Huai seemed to be enlightened, but even more confused.

Chapter 289 Seeking a Breakthrough

The shooting on the second day basically continued at the same speed as the day before.

The few NGs are mostly scenes and dialogues filled with close-ups, and then there are a lot of shots of Qi Qi. Su Huai is not so much a male protagonist as a supporting role that highlights the central role of Qi Qi.

Of course, he was not dissatisfied with this, but was thinking about what the director had said to him before.

In this play, Su Dachang is set with many character traits.

For example, being young and rebellious, the director requires being cool and handsome. Bravery must also be one aspect, otherwise he would not stand up when the heroine is harassed by the gangsters. In addition, Su Huai believes that Su Dachang himself also has sensibility and impulsiveness. On the delicate side, it was precisely because he sensed Jiang Xiaobai's embarrassment that he took the initiative to take the blame after that and withdrew from it.

It's not so much that he was disappointed and lost all direction, it's better to say that seeing indifference is the only answer.

Did he blame Jiang Xiaobai?

At that age, there must be something deep in his heart, but he knows better that if she follows him, it will be an extremely harsh adventure, not to mention that Jiang Xiaobai has a dream she needs to achieve.

So as a man, he decided to wait in silence.

If you extend it further, you can make up too much content, but the framework of the story is within these 20 minutes, and those few shots are therefore full and precious.

Su Huai was reminded, and now he finally understood what some directors said.

Originally, when we watched a movie adapted from a novel, if we had read the original book, we would more or less feel some differences.The difference does not come from casting, but I feel that sometimes the story of the movie happens too suddenly, lacking the reasonable foreshadowing in the original work, or too little description of the character, which is obviously a very important role in the original work , suddenly marginalized, with only one or two shots, how embarrassing are you for the fans.

But this just shows a problem, that is, the volume of different carriers is different.

Novels can be written with 10,000+ words, millions of words, and even more, while movies longer than two hours will appear redundant, and movies with three or four hours are only a handful, and they are all called "suffocating" by fans. urine drama.

Short films, by contrast, have even less time.

Especially when the director and cameraman frequently focus on the heroine of the young and invincible girl, he has only the name of the leading actor, but in fact, the chances of supporting actors to appear on the scene are even less.

And how to use these limited shots, whether to be willing to play the role mediocrely, or to add some individualistic color to the role, it all depends on Su Huai's decision.

To sum up, we have already understood that it is impossible for Su Huai to play a role in every aspect within this limited time, so how to cut it out is his topic today.

Right now, they are playing the part of the library.

The reason why the scene is used to mark it instead of the simple scene is because the set of the small workshop naturally cannot achieve the convenience of using the alpha system to change scenes one by one like a movie theater.They used a kind of old projection machine that was eliminated in the last period, and matched it with some real scenery to make up for the roughness and unreality of the former.

Mostly it is the blindfold method of using people's will to blur the vision and focus on the key points.

Therefore, in order to save cost and time, the director will try his best to gather the scenes of the same scene together regardless of the front and back when shooting, which leads to the next scene where Su spoils them, and they will be filmed together. Reviewing your homework in the library, until you gradually fall in love, and then pass by like strangers after you arrive.

It's like the old version of the Three Kingdoms, first filming Kong Ming's illness and death in Wuzhangyuan, and then filming his previous three visits to the thatched cottage.

This requires actors to have certain requirements for their own emotional transformation and plot control.

But for Maki, it's just about the same.

She just needs to sit there, and then read the prompt board shown by the working group, and then read the lines on it. Anyone can play it, but Su Huai can't be so easy. These sets of plots can be said to be He occupies the most important role in the whole play, if this part of the plot is missed, the rest will be even more soy sauce.

Su Huai doesn't have a particularly accurate opinion on the consideration of this role, he can only estimate a prototype first.

"Hey, are you ready?"

Being asked in this way, Su Huai could only take a deep breath, and went on.

Fortunately, the plot itself is still in order.

First shoot the scene of studying together in the library.

The lighting engineer adjusted the light at the scene according to the director's requirements. The light taken in from a 45-degree angle above the head was like orange sunlight at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, penetrating through the glass in front of the window sill, reflecting the On the two people at the table.Su Huai flipped the pages of the book lightly, pretending to be concentrating, but secretly lifted it up and took a look at the other party.

This scene, which lasts only a few seconds, is the focus of the entire plot.

When Su Huai heard the field manager calling for all aspects to be in place, his brain was like when Sherlock Holmes was investigating the case, and a lot of extensions about the plot characters emerged.

This is not an instant inspiration, but Su Huai's careful analysis of the characters created by the script before. Originally, he only needs to continue acting according to the actor's vision he constructed. The characters interpreted with such care will inevitably burst out Out of its dazzling flash point.

Unfortunately, the same method didn't work this time.

Must get to the point.

Then discard the lesser things.

It's like a racing game. In the limited time, try to get the high-level PERFECT instead of the mediocre NORMAL.

What is the focus of this drama that can make him stand out?

However, for Su Huai, the choice is also a headache.

The character traits that linger in his mind now are all the clues that he dug out after carefully studying the script before, but now it is like a patient with a choice syndrome, each of which feels necessary to make him become Difficult to choose.

Time is becoming scarcer.

Just as the recording started counting down seconds and the shooting entered the countdown, Su Huai, who was forced into a corner and had to make a choice, suddenly looked at the opposite of him, who was still looking relaxed at the moment, and suddenly had an idea!

and many more.

Generally speaking, when filming, it is better to find someone who can act than to find a layman who doesn't understand anything?

But what is the reason that made the director and the funder ignore this point, and also chose Qi Qi who has no experience in this area.

Beautiful appearance.

Undoubtedly, Su Huai also affirmed this, but there must be something else.

It is owned by Qi Qi, unique.

Is it...

Su Huai suddenly realized something.

And just right, it was the voice of the director calling for the official start of filming.

Chapter 290 Growth

Presumably boys in adolescence have had the same experience. Facing a girl they like or care about, they still can't muster up the courage to face up to this relationship.

Always find various reasons to prevaricate, dare not confess to her, can only take advantage of the other party talking with others, or inadvertently, in that direction, that person sneaks a little glance at the other party, before she turns her head, He quickly looked away.

This ignorant and youthful feeling is undoubtedly the focus of this film and the director's promotion.

Su Huai took this to understand one thing.

That's why the director and producer immediately fell in love with Mo Qi, who has no acting experience.

Appearance is certainly one aspect, but the most indispensable thing in this circle is beautiful women.

Everyone wears makeup when they go out, but why some people are only suitable for living under filters and cameras, while others can be active outside the screen space, largely depends on their innate temperament.

And it is precisely because of her youthful atmosphere that makes many people intoxicated when they see her, this also makes people willing to ignore her acting skills, because the director and the others believe that there is such a When a character exists, it can naturally attract attention. In contrast, acting skills are secondary.

This feeling is like when casting the role of Little Dragon Girl back then, Li Ruotong, who didn't understand anything, was chosen because of her celestial spirit.

As for Su Huai, he said flatteringly that he didn't have the temperament commensurate with Mu Qi either.

Although he is not very old, acting a role is really suitable or not, and Su Huai's personal image is more inclined to hard-core action scenes. After all, his facial features are three-dimensional, his body lines are strong and powerful, and he is not suitable for the kind of verbal. , Mensao youth love drama.

It's not discrimination.

But when casting roles for this kind of drama, most of them will choose the kind of gentle little boy.

We have great reasons to believe that if it weren't for what Mo Qi said, Su Huai might not have been selected at all.

However, no matter what the reason for being selected, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, whether the investment is large or small, it will not change Su Huai's seriousness in the performance, and going all out is the creed that Su Huai has always implemented.

So the external conditions are not good, can we rely on acting skills to make changes?

Just this moment.

Su Huai caught the key to unlocking the program.

It was as if a key had been unlocked in a lock, and the answer was on the verge of coming.

He didn't raise his head in a hurry at the beginning, but insisted on keeping his gaze on the page for a while longer, but this was not sluggishness, or simply delaying time, his jumping upper eyelids and trembling eyelashes , fully expressing his eagerness to move and his uncontrollable mood.

Don't think that this is just a subtle movement, but it is a technical job, because if you move too slightly, it will be difficult to capture under the camera. People who don't look carefully may easily miss it, and if you move too much We all understand the truth that if it is too intense, it will appear stiff and artificial.

Su Huai, however, grasped that only one point of heat, thanks to his usual habit of doing exercises in front of the mirror, his slight micro-expressions vividly portrayed a young man's heart.

But the hesitation was only for a moment, so fast that the director had no chance to shout Ka.
