Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 223 My name is Li Zhi!

9 month 20 number.

Yu Heshui brought his team from Xiangjiang to the capital.

As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed to Li Zhifan's studio without stopping.

"Director Yu, if you have anything to do, just video call me, why come here in person!"

As soon as he saw the other party, Li Zhifan said straight to the point, "I have agreed to accept this movie. When the filming starts, you can just talk to my agent!"

Yu Heshui said with a smile: "I can't let it go, so I want to talk to you in person! You probably know about our movie, but just in case, I hope you can go to those film and television bases to experience it for a few days , enrich your acting experience!"

There are many factions in acting, including Stanislavsky’s experiential school. This master believes that actors should be organically unified with their roles, and life in front of the camera is life, not performance.

However, the biggest disadvantage of the experiential school is that it is easy for actors to be trapped in a role and unable to get out, which eventually leads to depression and other mental illnesses. Many actors commit suicide due to depression, and the root cause of the disease is this.

There is also Brecht's expressionism. He advocated that actors should not become one with their characters, and should not only keep a distance, but also evaluate the roles they play.

In addition, there are skill schools. This kind of actors can act like what they want. They can not only create characters similar to their own identities, temperaments, and habits, but also characters who are far away. Those who can flexibly master acting skills are all old plays. Bone is also a very rare individual actor. This has risen to the highest level of performing arts, and it is difficult for ordinary actors to achieve.

Finally, there is another kind of true color school. From the very beginning, Yu Heshui advocated the selection of graduates who often play tricks on the set to play the leading role in this movie, because they have a newcomer’s jerky, habitual body language of tricks, and With the professionalism of the academic school, he can act in his true colors.

And he agreed with Li Zhifan recommended by Liao Feng, because Li Zhifan already had the experience of playing tricks, but this kind of experience is not rich enough, so he proposed to let Li Zhifan go to various studios to play tricks and gain more experience.

Li Zhifan knows his level well. What he absorbs is Zhang Yishan's "Actor's Skills", and Zhang Yishan was born as a child actor, and he shines all the time. The problem remains unabated.

In terms of acting, he also inherited Zhang Yishan's combination of technique and expressionism, but because he has not learned acting systematically, he only possesses this ability subconsciously, strictly speaking, he is still at a relatively low level.

At present, domestic film and television performances have fallen into a strange circle. On the contrary, young actors with facial paralysis and no acting skills are the most popular because they have a large number of fans, and young actors with a little bit of acting skills are also dogmatic acting methods. In the action, add some imitation.

Although Li Zhifan's self-evaluation of his acting skills is low-level, it is already much better than those young fresh meat.

"Director Yu! Give me a week to complete this task!" Li Zhifan said.

"One week?"

Yu Heshui said in surprise, "Let's add another week! This experience is not easy!"

"Don't worry!" Li Zhifan smiled, "I have my way!"

Looking at Li Zhifan's unquestionable eyes, Yu Heshui nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare now. I will arrange someone to meet you at Xiangshan, and call the media to write a draft. After a week, Hold a launch conference in Xiangshan!"

Time was tight, so Li Zhifan booked a flight ticket to Ningbo on the same day, and made arrangements with Jufeng to go to the film and television base in Xiangshan to play tricks.

The next day, after flying and taking a car for several hours, Li Zhifan finally arrived at Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Jufeng Films and Film and Television City have had a lot of cooperation. In recent years, many dramas invested in the mainland have also been filmed here. There are channels and connections. It is not a problem to arrange for Li Zhifan to find some crews to act as extras.

Before departure, Li Zhifan also learned from Zhou Ke that Liang Tian was filming in Xiangshan recently with a CCTV documentary crew.

So when he arrived that day, he contacted Liang Tian immediately and made an appointment to have dinner together.

In the evening, in the restaurant of the hotel.

As soon as Li Zhifan entered, he saw Liang Tian waving to him.

"Zhifan!"

Before he was seated, Liang Tian said, "You are a star now, why come here to suffer?"

"Didn't I explain it to you just now?"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "I'm here to get a deeper understanding of the characters, and I came here specifically to find out the feeling!"

"What kind of play did you take on?"

Liang Tian asked, Li Zhifan didn't reveal it to him yesterday, and he still doesn't know anything about it.

"Anyway, it's a movie!" Li Zhifan said, "The protagonist's job is to play tricks!"

"Movie?" Liang Tian frowned, "I found you a TV drama crew, which is different from making a movie!"

"Oh?" Li Zhifan asked, "Why is it different?"

After Liang Tian jumped to the CCTV production center, he also learned a lot of knowledge in this area, and now he talked eloquently: "The performances of movies and TV dramas are different in size, precision, rhythm and style. The size of movie performances is the smallest. Use more facial expressions to release emotions, express surprise, maybe you only need to blink your eyes, TV dramas need larger body parts and lines to release emotions, you will know this after experiencing it!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "I never thought you'd be proficient in acting now."

"I'm not proficient in anything, I just listen to my colleagues chatting!"

Liang Tian shook his head, "By the way, are you planning to become a professional actor?"

"The previous guest appearances were just for fun!"

Li Zhifan said, "But I read the book this time, and the idea is quite good. I want to try it too, so I can't talk about being professional! It's more or less for the sake of increasing fame. In this era, creativity, content, and works are actually not comparable to Venerable Master, if a star's popularity rises, it will be easy for him to produce any work!"

"Now some phenomena are too extreme!"

Liang Tian said, "Some works are popular but others are not popular, and some works are popular but there are no works that can be sold. These two kinds of works will stop after a few years, but in this circle, you still have to be down-to-earth and win. In order to be popular, there must be a strong base of works!"

The two who haven't seen each other for a long time talked a lot that night.

Finally, he went upstairs and returned to the hotel room, chatted for several hours, until it was almost midnight before Liang Tian left.

Five o'clock the next morning.

Li Zhifan got up early, washed his face a little, and left the room.

Jufeng has already helped him contact the actor and assistant director of a crew, and made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby.

Get out of the elevator.

Li Zhifan looked around and found a young man was also looking at him, so he went up and asked, "Hi, is this Director Xu Ge?"

"Are you Li Zhifan?" the young man asked.

Li Zhifan nodded and said, "It's me!"

"Oh, hello! Just call me brother Xu, don't call me director!"

Xu Ge laughed, "You may meet great directors everywhere in this place, so let's keep a low profile."

"I see!"

Li Zhifan said, "Brother Xu, shall we leave now?"

"Actually, it's not necessary!"

Xu Ge said, "It mainly depends on what you mean. I'm going out to pick up the actors now. Will you follow me? Or go to the set to find me at seven o'clock?"

Li Zhifan thought for a while, and said, "I'll go with you! You also know the purpose of my visit, so talk to the group performers on the way."

"Okay, the car is here, let's go!"

As Xu Ge said, he handed Li Zhifan a pair of frameless glasses, and said, "Wear it to cover it up, so that the group performers don't recognize you."

For today, Li Zhifan didn't even wash his hair, let alone style it, and he was wearing old clothes that had been washed and turned white.

Although people who are familiar with him can still recognize him after careful observation, those who are not familiar with him or who only glance at him occasionally will definitely not recognize him.

The two left the hotel, walked for 2 minutes, turned around an alley, and boarded an MVP station wagon.

Li Zhifan sat in the last row, and with the bumps of the station wagon, he finally stopped after ten minutes.

This is a rather run down small hotel.

Xu Ge pushed open the door from the co-pilot and got out of the car, and said to Li Zhifan, "I'll pick up the actor, you just wait in the car."

After he left, only Li Zhifan and the driver were left in the car.

The driver took the initiative to talk to him: "Young man, what groups have you been with before?"

"This is my first time!" Li Zhifan smiled, it seemed that the driver did not know his real identity.

"The first time is a special contract, right?"

The driver was surprised, "It's okay, is there any unique skill?"

Li Zhifan didn't quite understand, so he asked humbly: "Master, I don't quite understand, what do you mean by special contract and unique skills?"

The driver squinted at him from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help laughing: "What a noob? That's fine, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Li Zhifan sat in the front row and listened attentively.

"Generally speaking, there are two types of group performances, one is those who dream of being an actor, or those who want to make money."

The driver lit a cigarette and said like a storyteller: "There is another kind of farmers living in the local area, not the kind of young people who want to be actors. This proportion is very high."

Li Zhifan took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording function, and began to record what the driver said.

"Some ensemble actors are good at mixing, so they play some characters with lines. This kind of extras with lines is called Dazhong."

"Among the crowd, there is a group of people who are better at acting. They work harder and can play some characters with character. They not only have lines, but also performance requirements. These people are called special extras."

"Among the special extras, there are some outstanding ones. They can play some penetrating characters, such as butlers, servants, adjutants, etc., and they will sign a long-term contract with the crew. Such people are called big special contracts."

"In addition, there are some big special contracts invited from the Quyi Acrobatic Troupe, and they will be asked to play some tricky roles under the flyover. Are you this kind?"

The driver suddenly asked a question, Li Zhifan shook his head repeatedly, and said nonsense: "No, I just signed a contract with Brother Xu!"

"Oh! Then you are very lucky? Judging by your appearance, you should play the young master or something. Have you given the script? How many lines?" the driver asked.

"No! I don't know yet!"

Li Zhifan pretended to smile bitterly and said, "I just came to Xiangshan yesterday."

"Oh, then you have to be careful."

The driver said: "Director Liu has a bad temper. If you can't recite the lines, you may be fired from your job and you won't get any money!"

"Thank you master, I understand!"

Li Zhifan nodded, and asked again, "Master, is there any high-level extras for the big special appointment online?"

"Advanced extras?"

The driver smiled and said, "No more! From an extra to a special contract, there is only one step away from a professional actor. But it is very difficult to cross this step. Only a very small number of people can cross this step. Some big special contracts even I already have my own assistant, and I look like a professional actor."

"Oh...thank you, master, for answering your questions. I just got taught today!" Li Zhifan said.

"Well, you stay here for a week or so, be quick-witted, and you'll know everything about it."

The driver said, "Well, I'll leave you a phone number. If you don't have a scene to shoot in the future, you can contact me at any time. I can open the back door for you to take the trail."

Li Zhifan said, "That's so embarrassing!"

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about." The driver took out another cigarette, pointed it at the unextinguished cigarette butt just now, and said, "In Xiangshan, everyone helped each other. In the past, group performances were not as good as others, but now it's not the same. Yes. Everyone already has their own organization. Although it is not legal, they have begun to ask for the maximum daily working hours, etc. Playing dead people will ask the crew to give red envelopes, otherwise there will be trouble. It is windy and rainy to film. Extra money, Otherwise, there will be trouble."

The driver changed the subject: "Little brother, you haven't joined any organization yet, have you?"

"No!" Li Zhifan shook his head.

"Hey!" The driver turned around and said, "Thanks to you meeting me today, you are lucky, how about this! Let me introduce you to a group leader who has some influence in Xiangshan, and many crews sell his face. You will be in the group in the future." If there is any difficult matter here, he will help you solve it and ensure that you will not be bullied."

"is it?"

Li Zhifan chuckled, why did it look like a pyramid scheme in an instant?

However, he did not intend to refuse. Being close to such an organization might allow him to get in touch with this industry more deeply, which would be of some help to filming, so he said: "How about it, master! I will call you after work is over at night, and then you can bring me Go meet this big brother!"

"to make!"

The driver said happily: "You remember my phone number! Come on, ring me, and I will save your number too."

Li Zhifan took advantage of the situation and called. This number is Xiangshan's local number. Yu Heshui helped him to set it up. Anyway, it will only be used for this week, and it will not be used again in the future.

The driver saw Li Zhifan's call and asked again, "What's your name, I'll remember it."

"My name is……"

Li Zhifan thought for less than a second, "Li Zhi!"

"Li Zhi?"

The driver said while typing, "This name is too common. There are at least 30 people named this in the country. If you want to be popular, you still have to choose a special and famous name. I will ask a fortune teller to help you look at it another day. Change the name." Bar!"

"A name is just a code name!"

Li Zhifan said casually, "It's okay!"
