China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 45: While filming is in progress [Please follow up]

Sun Yi's first experience in film shooting was completely different from the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that he participated in before.

The costumes, props, photographic equipment, and locations have all been upgraded, and the requirements for actors have also become much higher. Although this film is only a TV movie, director Xue Xiaolu shot it completely in accordance with movie standards.

A shot that lasts only a few seconds takes at least half an hour to shoot. Director Xue Xiaolu repeatedly adjusted the camera position, determined the composition, and set the lighting, hoping to achieve the most perfect level in her mind.

New directors are like this. They need to figure out many things by themselves. Different camera positions, different compositions, and different lighting all require repeated attempts.

Through repeated attempts, the director finally chose the picture that best suited her thoughts to complete her expression of the plot. This is her lens language. Each director's unique style is slowly developed through such attempts. Forming.

The staff of the production crew are all operated by students and checked by teachers.The students took pictures repeatedly, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, without any complaints.

They are very happy. During class, they don't have so much time to touch the machines casually. Their skills are all developed through practice.

Director Tian Zhuang appointed a supervisor, and he was very happy for Xue Xiaolu to try it. Only on some specific methods of using lenses, Tian Zhuang would give corresponding guidance based on his experience for Xue Xiaolu to choose.

Whenever Sun Yi had time, he would rush over and learn from him, but he didn't have much time. His first priority was to perform his own drama well.

"A Little Red Flower for You" has a fairly first-class team, first-class actors, and first-class equipment. At present, the only shortcomings are the young actors, namely Sun Yi and Yang Mi.

Yang Mi is better. She has much more acting experience than Sun Yi. In addition, Ma Xiaoyuan's character is actually quite similar to Yang Mi in daily life. She is optimistic, cheerful and carefree. She can be regarded as her true character and her acting is okay. Handy.

Although Sun Yi has some talent, his acting experience can only be said to be that he played a supporting role in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so he is too inexperienced.

If you don’t have experience, work hard.

He was the first one to come to the set every day, practice his movements, communicate and coordinate with the photographer, and ensure that he and the camera could coordinate accurately during shooting.

Practice your lines repeatedly to ensure that each dialogue has corresponding rhythm, intensity and emotion.

At the same time, some body language and small movements were designed that fit the character's back and the corresponding plot.

Sun Yi's efforts were noticed by everyone on the crew, but sometimes hard work alone is not enough, especially when it comes to acting.

This morning, according to the shooting plan, it was the first group scene of the entire film, which was divided into three acts.

In the first scene, Wei Yihang, played by Sun Yi, and his family celebrated his grandma's birthday with his relatives. During the dinner, the relatives looked happy on the surface, but he was always the one who was out of place.

In the second scene, he left the table to take his brother to the bathroom. When he returned to the hotel room, he overheard that his relatives were selling their houses and cars in order to raise money for his medical treatment.He leaned against the corridor wall, feeling extremely moved in his heart.

In the third scene, he saw his father, who had always been extremely strong in front of outsiders, hiding his face and crying in the face of the help of relatives at the dinner table. He walked into the private room and bowed deeply to his family members.

The first two scenes were shot fairly smoothly, and the third scene took a total of ten shots.
"Ka, Sun Yi, your steps should be slower and heavier."

"Hey, Sun Yi, the little action you made with your hands to pull the hem of your clothes is very good. But your mood, uneasiness alone is not enough. I want your guilt and self-blame."

"Hey, this one is good, um. Here's another one. Gratitude, yes, can you add the emotion of gratitude to my relatives?"

"Ka, um, let's get through it."

Xue Xiaolu has very high requirements for Sun Yi, and her emotional requirements for the actor must be fully met.Regardless of the simple scene where he just walked a few steps into the room and bowed, Sun Yi was so sweaty during the filming that he felt like his whole body was exhausted.

During the lunch break, Sun Yi was quickly putting his lunch box into his mouth and finishing it in a hurry. There was a scene in the afternoon that he hadn't had time to practice yet, so he wanted to familiarize himself with it in advance.

Xue Xiaolu came and sat down next to him. Seeing Sun Yi eating, she was not in a hurry to speak.

Sun Yi quickly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said:
"Mr. Xue, what's the matter? Please tell me, I've finished eating."

Xue Xiaolu organized her thoughts and said carefully:
"Sun Yi, I want to talk to you about your performance. So far, you have done a good job in some daily scenes. You can give me everything I want. This is very rare for a new actor. "

After speaking, she hesitated for a moment and continued tactfully:

"You wrote the script. You should know better than me. The character of Wei Yihang is a bit complicated in itself. It is not enough to be lonely and rebellious. He has a transformation. His transformation is through the relationship with his parents. The rival scenes, including the emotional conflict scenes with Ma Xiaoyuan, were layered layer by layer, and finally exploded completely."

Perhaps out of fear of what Sun Yi would think, Xue Xiaolu finally explained.

"You know, this is my first work, and I want her to be perfect and strive for excellence. So next, I need your performance to be improved to a higher level, with richer emotions and fuller emotions."

Sun Yi understood. He didn't think it was Teacher Xue who was demanding, but that his acting skills needed to be improved.

According to the character design in the script, the level of his performance is indeed a little worse.

The next scenes were with leading actors such as Li Chengru, Jiang Wenli and Wang Zhiwen. He didn't expect to perform brilliantly, as long as he didn't get turned into a scumbag.

But it is obvious that Teacher Xue's requirements for him are not just ordinary qualifications. She hopes that the movie will be brilliant and that she can perform better.

But the sense of layering was very simple when he wrote the script, but when it came to the actual performance, he had no idea how to start.

Sun Yi had no choice but to find Teacher Cui Xinqin and tell him his current troubles.

After hearing this, Cui Xinqin was very pleased and said with a smile:
"Sun Yi, it seems that you still have pursuits for yourself. The problems you mentioned are actually common to every actor on their way to advancement. Your current performance is qualified, but Teacher Xue obviously requires you to go further. Your question, The fundamental reason is that your sense of belief is not strong enough and you are not fully integrated with the character."

When Sun Yi heard this, he understood a little. When he was acting these days, he always felt that there seemed to be a thin film between himself and the character of Wei Yihang. Although they were infinitely close, there was still a slight gap.

Many times what he shows is just his own thoughts from Wei Yihang's perspective, rather than the thoughts of Wei Yihang's character itself.

There is a layer in the middle, which sounds similar, but in fact the difference is huge.

"Teacher, I understand, but how to break the distance between you and the character?"

　I really let everyone down, probably because I didn’t write enough. I failed to test the water and recommend promotion in the first week.

　　Thanks to my friends who are still supporting me, I will continue to work hard.

　　I don’t know if it can be brought back to life, but I would like to ask for recommendations and collections, and please read more.

　　Thanks!
