Chapter 1073 Teacher Ajin is Really Strict

The two actors went through the whole scene, and to Zhang Zhong's surprise, neither of them forgot their words.

Especially Zhao Xinyue, such a young actor can memorize such a long line, either because of his extraordinary talent, or because he is really deep, or both.

However, although the two of them finished their lines, both the emotion and the rhythm were still a little off, even a layman like Zhang Zhong could see it.

Xi Jin didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and kept letting them go.

In fact, Xi Jin's camera had never been turned on at all, and it was just arranging and dispatching.

Because he knew that such a long shot would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted for the first time.Leaving the camera on all the time is definitely a waste of money.

As for the lines, Xi Jin was not as surprised as Zhang Zhong, because he knew the two actors better.

Needless to say, Teacher Liu, the two have collaborated many times. Although Teacher Liu is not well-known, his acting skills are very good and his lines are very strong.

As for Zhao Xinyue, the reason why Xi Jin liked Zhao Xinyue at that time was because her lines were not bad, and she was a top-notch existence among actors of the same age.

Moreover, Xi Jin has been preparing for this scene for a long time. He started speaking to the two main actors a long time ago, letting them experience the meaning and charm of this line whenever they have time.

In Xi Jin's view, if an actor wants to speak his lines well, he cannot rely on memorization alone, he must also understand the deep meaning, so that he can speak more fluently, with better rhythm and emotion.

After the first pass, Xi Jin called a stop, then walked up to the two actors with a notebook, and said, "I just summed up your problems, Xinyue, are you a little nervous, why did you come up?" The state is not right, you have to think carefully about what kind of mood you are in this scene. Yes, we did not shoot according to the order of the script. The last scene affected you, but isn’t it easy to solve this kind of thing? , I have sent you the complete script, read it when you have nothing to do, so that you can get in touch with the context when filming. Teacher Liu..."

Zhang Zhong watched Xi Jin lecturing to the actors, and he was still wondering why Xi Jin took such a long shot.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhong felt that he had figured it out.

The use of long shots is generally to increase the sense of reality, so that the audience can better bring them into the movie screen.

And the reason why Xi Jin wanted to make this scene a growth shot was to provide more realism.

But Xi Jin's sense of authenticity here is not to create reality, but to break it.

In such a time-space-changing scene, the audience is still immersed in the sense of reality created by the director one second, but this sense of reality is instantly broken in the next second, and they come to another real world. This strong contrast will bring An incredible effect.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Zhong somewhat understood Xi Jin's choice.

But such a choice will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the filming process, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It took more than 20 minutes to do it just now, plus the narration.

How many 10-[-] minutes are there in a day, and the actors will soon get tired if they walk the show like this, after all, such dense lines are very exhausting.

However, Xi Jin didn't seem to care about these at all. After the play was over, he gave the two of them less than 5 minutes to digest, and then directly shouted to start.

The second pass has begun, and the performance of the two actors on this side is obviously much better than the first pass. Although there are still many flaws, they have found a little rhythm.

It's just that Xi Jin never stopped taking notes.

In the end, there was no surprise, and the second time was still not enough.

……

Then, the third time, the fourth time...

Zhang Zhong watched Zhao Xinyue and Teacher Liu go through the play four times in a row.

These four plays took a total of nearly two hours.

Xi Jin never told them to stop, and he always waited for them to finish the play before telling them about the play.

Moreover, Xi Jin never loses his temper. Even if there are some places he has already said, the actors still make mistakes when they act again. He only focuses on two sides and never speaks loudly to the actors.

For this, Zhang Zhong was really surprised, and the director Xi Jin has a really good temper.

He has worked with several directors, but none of them has such a good temper as Xi Jin.

Even Shen Jian, such a good old man who smiles every day, often gets angry when the director is filming, and at the worst time, he just dropped the speaker.

But if someone thinks that Xi Jin is easy to deal with, he is wrong. Although he does not curse or get angry, he is even more difficult to deal with.

For a scene, he can turn off the machine and let the actors perform it a dozen times in a row with a smile on his face.

He always smiles and tells you where you did wrong, where you need to improve, and what you should do.

No matter how tired or sleepy the actor is, he will not let people rest easily.

Zhang Zhong could clearly see that Zhao Xinyue and the others were tired, and their performance was getting better and better in the first three times, but after the fourth time, they started to get worse.

There is no way, the state is really unable to support such a high-intensity rehearsal.

Zhang Zhong feels that Xi Jin's filming is a bit like a drama, and now it's just a rehearsal.

But the difference is that the drama rehearsal will also be broken into pieces, starting from a small section, while Xi Jin is equivalent to starting the rehearsal directly.

To be honest, Zhang Zhong felt a little tired even watching from the sidelines.

And he could feel that the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more oppressive, and everyone was under tremendous pressure.

It seems that it's not that Xi Jin doesn't put pressure on the staff, it's just that the way he puts pressure is different from other directors.

Until Zhang Zhong left the crew, the camera hadn't been turned on once, which proved that Zhao Xinyue's performance was far from Xi Jin's standard.

"Huh, Xi Jin looks harmless to humans and animals. I didn't expect him to be so black-bellied. Zhao Xinyue and the others tortured him enough. If I were to go crazy." On the way home, Xu Yuhan exhaled and sighed.

"It's not a black belly, he is just more serious and responsible. In fact, the actors are tired, and he is not relaxed. Have you seen his notebook? It is full of mistakes made by Zhao Xinyue and the others. Put a lot of thought into it. Xi Jin’s high demands are not only for others, but also for himself. I believe he can make good works.”

Xu Yuhan nodded, agreeing with Zhang Zhong's statement.

Although she thinks that Xi Jin is too strict, she has to say that only such strictness can produce good works.

"It's not easy being an actor."

"It's not easy for anyone. Since you choose to be an actor, you can't just want the halo and don't want to sweat."

"That's true."
