Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1245 Improvisation

  Xiao Yao’s crew has only one day off this time, but fortunately, there is no Xiao Yao's role in the morning after the holiday, so Xiao Yao can spend the night with Sun Tingting comfortably in the residence, but only one night.

  The next afternoon, Sun Tingting’s program will undergo stage rehearsal, and Xiao Yao will enter the group for filming. In the morning, the two people set off from their residences and returned to work.

  Back to the crew, Xiao Yao found that most of the crew were in good spirits after returning from the holiday.

  The crew has been on for more than 20 days, which is equivalent to more than 20 days of running-in together with crew members. After more than 20 days of running-in, the crew became more familiar with each other, and the work efficiency was improved to a certain extent. However, as the personnel became more familiar with each other, Xiao Yao found that he had to face some problems he hadn't thought of before.

  In the entire crew, the oldest of all the main actors is Gao Jianming, who plays the heroine's father. Gao Jianming has the longest acting experience and the most experienced acting. To say the least worrying actor in the entire crew is also this old drama bone. But it is precisely this old drama bone who is very reassuring in acting, but he has a "yao moth" in the crew.

  On the second night after returning from vacation, there was a scene where the male lead played by Xiao Yao was at the female lead’s house.

  In terms of the filming progress of the crew, it is currently about a quarter of the whole film. From the plot point of view, now it is the stage where the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao and the female protagonist played by Yin Xi have met and began to fall in love, but the family of the heroine has not found out, and the two have not yet disclosed the stage to the family of the heroine.

  The scene tonight is about the male protagonist sending the female protagonist home. He was originally sent to the female protagonist’s house and was about to leave, but he happened to be met by the female protagonist’s brother returning home. In order to cover up their relationship, the male protagonist lied that he was looking for the younger brother of the female protagonist, and happened to meet the female protagonist. The heroine's brother did not doubt. Seeing that the male lead came to find himself, he invited the male lead upstairs and went home together.

  Before the crew’s holiday, I once filmed a scene where the male lead played by Xiao Yao went to the female lead’s house and had dinner with the female lead’s family.

  Compared with the previous scene, the difficulty of this scene tonight is higher.

  In the previous scene, although the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao had a good impression of the female protagonist, the two had not yet begun to fall in love. That was a normal visit, and everyone's performance was relatively natural. In tonight’s scene, the male lead played by Xiao Yao and the female lead played by Yin Xi are in a passionate period. They can’t help but interact with the eyes or expressions of some lovers, but the two of them have to conceal two things from the hostess’s home. The fact that people are in love cannot be seen by others.

  From the perspective of the plot alone, the performance of the actors in this scene is more difficult than the previous scene. To further increase the difficulty of this scene, Gao Jianming suddenly began to improvise while filming this scene, not according to the script.

  Actors do not follow the script exactly when filming. Although it is rare to improvise on the scene, it is not particularly rare. As long as it is in line with the theme of the script and the trend of the plot, the director generally will not call a stop, and it is mandatory for the actors to follow the script completely.

An old drama player like Gao Jianming who has acted in many plays has his own understanding of script roles and his own creative ability is very strong. It is not too strange to improvise when filming, and the content of his improvisation is also in line with the plot trend. Yes, director Chen Jun will naturally not call to stop casually.

  In this way, the requirements for the actors who act with him have also become higher.

  The actor improvisation on site is not about changing the script on site. On-site script modification is when the actors discuss the script with the director on the set, modify the script on the spot with the director's approval, and then shoot according to the revised script. Other actors know the revised script and how to coordinate the play. The actor's improvisation is not to say hello to anyone. After the rehearsal and the official shooting, he suddenly changed his performance.

   Faced with an actor who improvises during filming, other actors who play with him must first react quickly. The filming is in progress, and you must react quickly to catch up with his improvisational scenes. The other point is that while reacting quickly, the response is correct, so that the connection can be natural and good.

  The time of this scene is not short. It is not a long shot taken directly from the beginning to the end. There are also some sub-shots in the middle. There are five roles in this play tonight, including the heroine played by Xiao Yao and a family of four. From the perspective of the camera, this scene is not all a group show of five characters. In different shots, each has some opponents.

   Gao Jianming’s first improvisation tonight was a sub-shot of a rivalry with Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao's reaction is still very fast. When he suddenly encountered Gao Jianming's improvisation that didn't follow the script, although he was surprised, the director didn't call to stop, Xiao Yao followed Gao Jianming's performance.

Gao Jianming’s improvisation also exceeded the director Chen Jun’s expectations, but Chen Jun is also an experienced director. He didn’t stop immediately because Gao Jianming’s performance was different from the script. He just gave Xiao Yao a little bit in his heart. sweat. Seeing that Xiao Yao was doing well, Chen Jun naturally asked the two to stop after the improvisation of the opponent's play.

   "Teacher Gao, you are amazing!" After the director stopped, Xiao Yao said to Gao Jianming.

  Although Gao Jianming's improvisation made Xiao Yao a little surprised, to be honest, Xiao Yao felt that Gao Jianming's improvisation was in line with the plot and role settings, and his performance was also very good. After the director Chen Jun called to stop, he immediately called again, showing that the director was also satisfied with Gao Jianming's improvisation.

   "Teacher Gao, did you improvise in this passage just now?" Other actors also came to Gao Jianming and said, "Sure enough, he is an old actor, amazing!"

   "Really?" Gao Jianming smiled, "I'm also worried that Xiao Yao will say that I forgot the script's lines to not act according to the script. He will fine me!"

   "Ha~" The other actors all laughed.

"Why?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I won't even be able to distinguish between improvisation and non-remembering of the script's lines? Besides, when we moved on to the play before, you followed the script. Why can't I remember the lines? Besides, the fines of our crew are those behind the scenes who make mistakes, and the actors are not fined."

   "However, you came here suddenly, and it really scared me!" Xiao Yao continued, "If you are scared of my heart disease, I don't rule out the possibility of finding you to make a claim."

   "Okay! Come here, I'm responsible!" Gao Jianming knew that Xiao Yao was joking, and said with a big laugh.

"Xiao Yao, I took the scene with Teacher Gao just now very well!" At this time, director Chen Jun also came over, first filmed Xiao Yao, and then looked at Gao Jianming and said, "Teacher Gao, when you were filming before. Do you often improvise like this?"

"It's okay," Gao Jianming said, "not too much, not too little! It's mainly to see the feeling, and also to see who the opponent is the actor. If the opponent is a newcomer with less experience, I generally don't do it casually. Improvisation."

   "So, Teacher Gao recognizes Xiao Yao's ability in this area?" Yin Xi asked with a smile. She heard that Gao Jianming's last sentence meant that she was afraid that the new actor would not be able to catch it, so she would not improvise casually.

   "It is indeed very capable!" Gao Jianming smiled and nodded.

   "Teacher Gao, Xiao Yao is the youngest of all actors in this crew!" Yin Xi reminded with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with age!" Gao Jianming smiled and shook his head, "No, it has something to do with age. However, although Xiao Yao is the youngest cast member, he is actually not young. I'm not afraid to offend you. If so, Xiao Yao is indeed the best performer among your young actors!"

  In terms of awards and reputation, at least in this crew, Xiao Yao is indeed recognized as the best acting performer among young actors. Even setting aside Xiao Yao's identity as a producer, everyone will not object to Gao Jianming's evaluation.

  With Gao Jianming’s current worth and status, it is actually a succumb to him to play such a role in this crew. The big reason why Gao Jianming accepted such a role is because of Xiao Yao. He is very interested in Xiao Yao, a guy who is often touted as a genius and evildoer by the media.

  Xiao Yao has many evil deeds, but Gao Jianming is an actor, and what he pays attention to is also Xiao Yao’s performance in film and television performances.

   Judging from the several film and television works that Xiao Yao has played, Gao Jianming’s evaluation of Xiao Yao’s acting skills is very good, but looking at the performance presented in the film and television works alone, Gao Jianming feels that it is not enough. It is true that Xiao Yao's acting skills in film and television works are very good, but what appears in the final film and television works does not reflect the state and performance of the actors during the filming.

  In short, some actors are especially in need of advice from a good director. For example, some actors have taken the celebrity queen at a young age, but there are few classic works in the follow-up. There are also some actors who performed well in TV dramas when they debuted, but got worse and worse afterwards, eventually becoming representatives of bad acting skills. In China's film and television circles, such actors are not alone.

  Gao Jianming took this play, just to see what Xiao Yao, a representative of the new generation of actors, looks like when acting in the crew.

   Originally, Gao Jianming came to see Xiao Yao’s performance in the filming, but Xiao Yao’s performance in the crew went far beyond his expectations.

  First of all, Gao Jianming discovered that Xiao Yao was actually Yin Xi’s acting instructor. In Gao Jianming's first scene in the group, there was no Xiao Yao, only Yin Xi. Gao Jianming didn't expect to see Xiao Yao so early, but found that Xiao Yao not only came, but also told Yin Xi the opposite of the scene before filming, guiding her performance. Xiao Yao didn't deliberately avoid other people when he told Yin Xi about the play direction. Gao Jianming also listened a few ears. He discovered that Xiao Yao not only knows how to act, but is also fully capable of teaching others to act.

  Secondly, Gao Jianming discovered that Xiao Yao's memory is really good. Because Gao Jianming discovered that whether he saw Xiao Yao telling Yin Xi a drama that time, or filming a movie with Xiao Yao later, Xiao Yao didn't have a script in his hands, and it seemed that he had never looked at someone else's script.

  Many of the actors in the stage of speaking and acting before filming were based on the script. There are some actors who don’t read the script in the stage of the drama and the drama. They are very serious, and they memorize the script very well. But even in that case, at least he would bring the script and be familiar with it while resting. People like Xiao Yao who have been on the set for a whole and a half day and have never had a script in their hands, Gao Jianming has never seen him in the thirty years he has been an actor.

   Xiao Yao has been a director, so he can teach others acting. Xiao Yao has a good memory, and he has also performed many times in variety shows. But the feeling before and behind the scenes is always different. Gao Jianming will inevitably have some doubts about the authenticity of Xiao Yao's actual performance in the cast and variety shows. But after seeing Xiao Yao's performance in the crew, Gao Jianming found that at least Xiao Yao's performance in variety shows was not exaggerated at all.

  Gao Jianming saw Xiao Yao’s performance during filming, saw Xiao Yao guide Yin Xi in acting, and also saw Xiao Yao’s memory and familiarity with the script. After reading these, Gao Jianming still wants to see more.

  In the scene filmed with Xiao Yao before, Gao Jianming wanted to test whether Xiao Yao, who went to the studio without the script, was really familiar with the script, so he played it according to the rules. When it was discovered that Xiao Yao was actually filming in full accordance with the script, and the lines and actions were not bad at all, in the second scene filmed with Xiao Yao, Gao Jianming began to improvise to test Xiao Yao’s performance. The ability to react and improvise.

   Therefore, Gao Jianming's improvisation this time was deliberate, and it was an assessment aimed at Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao successfully caught his improvisational scenes, and Gao Jianming also admired Xiao Yao’s ability in this regard.

  Although Gao Jianming’s improvisation was deliberately aimed at Xiao Yao’s test, Gao Jianming did not want to make this too obvious. In the following filming, Gao Jianming also had some improvisations when he was acting in rival scenes with other people, or even in crowd scenes.

  The actor who played the heroine’s mother is also an experienced middle-aged actress, so there is no problem with Gao Jianming’s improvisation. Yin Xi and Yu Shaoting have more works than Xiao Yao in terms of the number of works and the length of filming time, but in general, they are still slightly inferior in terms of experience and acting skills. Fortunately, although Gao Jianming played improvisationally, he did not perform it only once. Sometimes when the two of them failed to pick up the play, Gao Jianming could still have the emotion to repeat his improvisation. In this case, it is basically equivalent to changing the script of the actor on-site. Prepare more, take a few more shots, you can still pass it.

   Although the filming time of this scene was longer than expected, overall, it was completed smoothly.

  Although Gao Jianming's improvisation during filming tonight seems to be very improvised, basically when he shoots an opponent scene with any actor, but Xiao Yao found that Gao Jianming seems to improvise the most when he plays an opponent scene with him.

  After several subsequent scenes with Gao Jianming, Xiao Yao confirmed this.
