I'm just an actor

Chapter 89 Emotions
Everyone's experience is different, and there are always significant or subtle differences in the external presentation, and the director industry is similar. Zhang Li was born in photography, and he is almost paranoid about the beauty under the lens. He is good at telling stories through switching perspectives, while Gao Xixi It is an artist who is good at giving each character a different color of personality, making the characters more real.

Xu Rong looked at the reflection in the mirror for a long time, took off and put on the metal-rimmed glasses back and forth, and finally, he realized what the problem was.

The bright silver metal-rimmed glasses made him look more like an elite celebrity than a scholarly and loyal Wei Duanben.

He took off his metal-framed glasses, and looked at the black and thin middle-aged man not far away: "Brother Song, do you have big black-framed glasses?"

Except for the change of the main creator, all the staff members of the film crew are still the same people from "New Shanghai Beach", so Xu Rong and them are not alienated.

Although he was positioned as the male second when filming "New Shanghai Beach", but in terms of the time spent on the set, he is the longest among the actors. From the first day to the last day of joining the group, he was stunned for a day .

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, I saw you just now." Song Yandong replied, and started searching.

After a while, he came over with a box, took out a pair of round black-frame mirrors, handed it to Xu Rong, and said, "Try it."

Xu Rong put on the glasses, and then turned to face the mirror. After adjusting for a while, she turned her head again, looked at Gao Xixi, and asked, "Director, how are you doing?"

Gao Xixi froze for a moment, looked carefully for a while, and found that Xu Rong's shoulders had slumped a little, and said with a smile, "Okay, do as you think."

Xu Rong was the male lead he chose personally. The two had already communicated properly about the positioning of the role, and he didn't care too much about Xu Rong's thoughts.

Every actor has his own understanding of the role, and this understanding is consistent throughout. There is no difference between the two in essence, and that is enough.

Anyway, he believes Xu Rong will be able to act well
Xu Rong made a decision here, and he didn't say any more, and turned around and left. Chen's request was much more troublesome than Xu Rong's.

People are not too happy with clothes.

The crew prepared a total of four sets of cheongsams for Chen, but because Chen's identity changed from a young girl to a young woman, and then to a lady, the four sets of cheongsams can support the first two identities, but they are not enough for a lady. fine.

Although the investment of the production team is large, the huge cost of many main creators and setting is the big one. In order to reproduce the prosperity of Chaotianmen Wharf in the past, the crew forcibly rebuilt the Chaotianmen Wharf.

In fact, four sets of cheongsams are not too small. Most of the actresses in the crew usually wear two sets, and some even have only one set.

But it's not that people think it's too small, but that it's not refined enough.

She seems to like cheongsam very much and understands it very well. After Gao Xixi and the producer euphemistically expressed the financial reasons, she did not insist on it.

Of course they understood what Chen meant, but according to what she said, it was made of silk and velvet, so if they did the math, it would cost 20 million yuan.

Besides, if it was done for Chen, whether it would be done for other actresses, He Saifei, Hu Ke, and Luo Haijing were not blind.

A few people did it, and the unnecessary 100 million went out. Although the investment of the crew was large, it was not such a way of spending.

Duan Shui is an art, especially in the face of many actresses with delicate thoughts. Publicly, they are all-inclusive, but privately, they are flying around. One has not been filmed yet, and stability comes first.

Therefore, even though they understood that Chen's opinion was reasonable, Gao Xixi and Pan Hongye politely rejected her request without even thinking about it.

Xu Rong didn't pay too much attention to these, he was working hard to brew his emotions, Chen became famous as a "thriller", to put it mildly, he was actually a vase, he really didn't dare to expect the other party to bring out his emotions.

But after finishing shooting an ordinary dialogue, Xu Rong silently put away the "vase" evaluation in his heart.

Chen does have some of the characteristics of a vase, such as being photogenic, but at the same time, there is something that Xu Rong does not have, or even the strengths of most actors. It is also a basic compulsory course for actors, nature.

Chen seems to hide his "self" very easily.

Xu Rong can also do it, but it needs a gradual process.

This is determined by the growth environment. Everyone has different experiences, and some experiences have brought various psychological burdens, but Chen doesn't seem to have any, just like she came here so smoothly and carefree. There is no ideological burden at all, and it is extremely easy to substitute yourself into another role.

An acquired extremely rare "talent".

Of course, this kind of talent, which is not a talent, can also be obtained through practice, such as blind practice, puppet practice, fool practice, etc., which are most often used in schools, and then through filling full characters, it can also form subconscious expression in the end.

But the process is different.

This is the most basic skill in acting. The basis is because of necessity, not because of simplicity. In essence, basically no one can completely liberate their nature.

In this regard, while Xu Rong smiled wryly, he could only guide his emotions as soon as possible.

Indeed, as Gao Xixi said, three scenes were filmed on the first day, and work was called off as soon as the sun went down.

The first day of shooting went smoothly, as long as we can pass it, it is basically not NG.

As soon as the filming ended, Chen took off his makeup, packed his things immediately, greeted Gao Xixi, and left the set with his assistant and wind, very excited.

"Why did she go, so anxious?" Xu Rong looked at Chen who disappeared as soon as he got off work, and looked at Gao Xixi in astonishment.

Gao Xixi smiled wryly, and said, "She made an appointment with a famous designer and went to make cheongsams by herself."

"Famous designer? Didn't you mean funding?"

Gao Xixi spread his hands with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "People say, don't let the crew pay for it."

Xu Rong opened his mouth, he seemed to understand why Chen was so smooth about liberating his nature, he didn't bother to talk about people or anything, I would use it if the crew had it, and do it myself if I didn't, don't ask why, I'm happy.

Of course, he also understands that what is behind the willingness is not bad money.

He looked down at the long gown on his body, thought about it carefully, and shook his head, there was no need, Wei Duan himself should not wear too gorgeous clothes.

Three days after the filming started, Xu Rong became a little anxious. Although he had already created the character of Wei Duanben in his heart, he tried all kinds of techniques and couldn't get emotional.

Although he is still in the stage of finding his status, although he has only filmed five scenes in total, compared with Chen, he is a little bit overwhelmed.

In terms of expression technique, he felt that he was already impeccable, but because of the lack of emotion, he didn’t watch the replay, and only through the photos taken by Xu Xing, he realized the problem. He tried a method that could be used, such as emotional memory and physical movements. over and over again, but always can't reach the most accurate point.

Especially the arrival of Yu Hewei, who played Fan Baohua, made him feel even more pressure. Yu Hewei himself started as a villain, and the role of Fan Baohua was too familiar to him, and there was almost no difficulty at all.

After all, he is fundamentally different from Wei Duanben. Wei Duanben always has excessive sympathy, forgiveness, nostalgia and is full of unrealistic fantasies.

On the fourth day, early in the morning, looking at Chen who was wearing a bright red cheongsam, Xu Rong pursed his lips, and decided to attack him hard.

Bring out emotions in the most extreme way.

He didn't hesitate for too long. After putting on his makeup, he walked towards the busy Gao Xixi and expressed his thoughts.

Gao Xixi pondered for a while, and he also saw Xu Rong's problem, which was different from the previous "Ding Li". when the state.

But seeing Xu Rong's insistence, he couldn't stop him, he just smiled and said: "You should brew it for a while, give it a try."

Even so, Gao Xixi believes that Xu Rong is [-]% to [-]% sure in his heart. He still remembers the scene where Xu Rong confessed to Sun Li at the beginning.

"it is good."

"It's been a while, isn't it?" After hearing Xu Rong's proposal, Chen looked at him in astonishment.

Xu Rongqiang smiled, he really couldn't do anything about it, and he didn't know when he would be able to adjust after this exhaustion, so he could only learn from Will Smith.

After he sat down, the surroundings gradually quieted down, he emptied himself as much as possible, and also forgot the previously expected techniques, and started self-hypnosis.

After about ten minutes, I felt that it was almost the same. I didn't raise my head, and gestured in the direction of the monitoring.

"photography."

"start."

As the voice fell, after about five seconds, Xu Rong slowly raised his head, his eyes were red, and there were two tear marks on his face.

Looking at Chen standing at the door, the corners of his mouth twitched, without even wiping the tears on his face, he got up quickly and rushed over.

He rushed to Chen, his face full of excitement, as if he couldn't believe it: "You're back?"

Looking at the smile on his face, Chen was stunned, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist in an instant, and said softly: "En."

"Card."

"Pass."

Seeing Xu Rong silently walked to the sidelines and sat on the chair without saying a word, Gao Xixi immediately watched the replay.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

The new screenwriter Wang Wanping, who was appointed in danger, frowned and said, "But Chen just cried, shouldn't he?"

Probably afraid that Gao Xixi didn't understand what she meant, she asked: "According to the plot, does Tian Peizhi still love Wei Duanben at this time?"

Gao Xixi thought for a while, then slowly said: "At least she has loved, right? You can't just forget it, otherwise why did she come back? She is eager for the rich and powerful, but it doesn't prove that she doesn't have Wei Duanben in her heart at all. Her emotions aroused are natural and good, human nature is inherently complicated."

Xu Rong sat on the chair and felt that his behavior was too crazy. He replaced Tian Peizhi with Xiao Zhang.

In the past, even if Xiao Zhang was pulled out, he would only think of the good side, and would never take on the role of Tian Peizhi.

But he was really helpless.

But he still needs to strengthen this emotion and form a memory.

Therefore, even if you don't want to, you have to think that way.

Tired of the impoverished life with him, she began to chase after wealth and power, for which she kept abandoning herself, her family, her husband, and her children.

She would rather bloom in a precious vase for a while, and gradually wither, than absorb nutrients from the land so that she can live longer.

But he has been conscientious, tried his best but can't do anything.

When she smiles, he will be happy for a long time. When she is angry, he will blame himself and feel guilty. He wants to give her everything he can give her, and he can't bear her to suffer the slightest harm, but he can't give her what she wants.

While the crew was adjusting and preparing to shoot the next scene, a strange scene appeared in a certain corner of the set. After filming, Xu Rong, who was sitting on a chair, couldn't stop crying.

At a certain moment, his emotions seemed to reach a critical point, and his hands suddenly covered his face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Xing kept handing the paper, but when she saw Xu Rong suddenly bent down and sobbed silently, she was stunned.

Xu Rong had taught her emotional memory in the past few days, so when Xu Rong was still crying just now, she was not too surprised, but Xu Rong's sudden collapse was something she had never expected.

Not only was Xu Xing dumbfounded, but Chen and Gao Xixi, who were about to take the next scene, heard Xu Xing's voice, cast their eyes over, and looked at Xu Rong's shrugging shoulders, and were also dumbfounded.

No, it was fine, so I started crying.

Silence seemed to be contagious. When everyone understood what was going on, the whole group suddenly fell silent. No one spoke or even moved.

Xu Xing wanted to persuade her again, but was stopped by He Saifei who was on the side, and put his index finger on his mouth, signaling her not to speak.

After about four or five minutes, Xu Rong probably recovered, and sat up slightly, but saw a tissue handed over to him, stunned for a moment, looked up, saw He Saifei, forced a smile, and said: "Thank you, Teacher He."

Not far away, Hu Ke, who was also preparing to play, said to Yu Hewei in a low voice: "Now I know why people call him crazy."

She has worked with Yu Hewei before and is relatively familiar with him.

Yu Hewei who was next to him shook his head and said: "But those few articles just now are really exciting, especially when I raised my head, it reminded me of when my mother-in-law thought I was poor, haha, but at that time, I My wife didn't dislike me."

He thought for a while before continuing: "I reckoned, that guy substituted his girlfriend into it, and then wanted to eat it in one bite to make him fat and form a memory, but he confiscated it and ruined his emotions."

"He can be popular at such a young age, and it doesn't look like luck right now. I watched his interview a while ago, haha, there must be capable people in his team, but I still think that what he said about his girlfriend is very good. , It’s just that he is so hard-boiled, and the attack is a bit too ruthless. A normal man would have to collapse. You have to learn to let go of yourself.”

After hearing Yu Hewei's exclamation, Hu Ke seemed to recall something unpleasant, and said forcefully: "That at least shows that he really loves his girlfriend."

Yu Hewei wanted to answer the conversation at first, but when he heard that Hu Ke's tone was not quite right, he glanced at her downcast face and couldn't help thinking of some rumors.

Xu Rong wiped away the tears on his face, and then said to Gao Xixi, "Sorry, director, the shooting was delayed."

"It's okay, it's okay." Gao Xixi shook his head and said after a while, "Do you want to rest for a long time?"

After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself again: "Forget it, it's useless for me to ask, you should take a break first."

"Ah."

Gao Xixi turned her head, looked at Chen, and said with a smile: "You are under a lot of pressure."

Chen didn't quite understand what Gao Xixi meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

Gao Xixi stretched out two fingers, gestured and said: "Xu Rongyuan only has two crying scenes, but you have more than 50 scenes."

Chen was stunned for a moment, and understood what the director meant. According to the script, Xu Rong didn't need to cry today, and neither did she. But because of temporary adjustments, Xu Rong added an extra episode, and hers also had an extra episode for no reason.

But she was brought in by Xu Rong's emotions just now, which was not there before.

After being reminded by Gao Xixi, she realized that as long as Xu Rong's state is maintained, the second crying scene will definitely make the audience cry.

In the original book, Wei Duanben took the child and left, and Tian Peizhi was addicted to wealth, but in order to sublimate the two characters of Wei Duanben and Tian Peizhi, one is dead and the other is crazy. Another crying scene of Xu Rong is Before he went crazy.

It's just that it would be a joke if she couldn't cry in Xu Rong's two out of sixty games.

But Chen also didn't care, he just did what he wanted, if he couldn't cry, he couldn't cry, otherwise he could do nothing.

The crying scene is not another scene, if it fails to be filmed twice, basically the emotions will be released.

Besides, she has no intention of comparing with others, she always compares with this and that, she is too tired, she should play her own role well, just like Xu Rong, he is willing to do that, and she is willing to do it.

Everyone has their own way of life, you can't say who is right and who is wrong, just be happy.
