1979 Golden Age

Many people have a misunderstanding that the older generation of actors have poor acting skills.

In fact, it is not bad, but it is limited by the single type of film and character. Wei Guangzheng will always be Wei Guangzheng, a treacherous villain will always be a treacherous villain, and a Japanese devil will always be a Japanese devil.

If they are given a chance to perform, such as Chen Qiang, the old man has created two monumental villains, Huang Shiren and Nan Batian. It stands to reason that the image has been finalized, but later he made a series of comedies with Chen Peisi.

Hey, you can see a very cute little old man, completely different from the previous impression.

Another example is Feng Enhe, who used to play positive characters, but later played the role of Webmaster Wu in "Latent", and suddenly he was like "Emei Peak, and he took a photo alone, he has a romantic temperament!"

If you want to be a good actor, talent and hard work are both indispensable.

Gong Xue did not come from a professional background. She only played a small role in a drama troupe and only acted in one movie. She was lacking in all aspects except for her good image.

When Wang Haowei shouted, she immediately panicked and said hurriedly: "Director, was it my fault to leave?"

"It's not a matter of whether you can walk or not. You can wear high heels and walk very steadily..."

Wang Haowei organized his language and said: "This feels wrong. You are like a domestic girl pretending to be an overseas Chinese. It doesn't look like someone who really came back from the United States to travel around. You can think about it yourself and try again later." try."

"well!"

Gong Xue quickly took out the script, sat on a rock, and figured it out for himself.

But acting is not something you can do just by thinking about it. Understanding is very important. Not everyone is Zhou Xun.

After a while, the show started again.

"3, 2, 1, start!"

"stop!"

After holding on for 2 minutes this time, Wang Haowei felt that it was a little stronger, but still not satisfied. She walked over and said, "Come on, let's study it."

Wang Haowei also sat on the stone and patiently communicated: "Didn't we talk about a lot of things when we discussed the characters during the meeting? You understood it very well at the time, so why was it so difficult to shoot?

The problem now is that your performance as an overseas Chinese has too many traces, and your movements are unnatural. "

"Sorry director!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just the first day of filming. You have little experience, so it's normal that you can't get into the role. We don't have to rush, we'll give you time to figure it out."

Wang Haowei's mentality is quite good. Filming is slow these days. It's all done bit by bit and everyone is used to it.

I followed it a few more times, but it still didn't work, so I simply filmed the scene with Tang Guoqiang.

Chen Qi was dumbfounded.

I came out early in the morning, set up here, and then walked around, tossed, rested, and walked around. When it came time to officially shoot, I only shot one scene - Tang Guoqiang sitting on a pillow and reading a book.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, call it a day!

Why call it a day? Because there are too many clouds, the sun is blocked, and the light becomes too dark to take pictures. These days, outdoor shooting is greatly affected by natural light.

"Aiya, I go!"

"Only Wong Kar-wai and Hou Hsiao-hsien would dare to do this in future generations!"

Chen Qi helped to move things again, and everyone looked calm and calm.

He went back to the hotel, had dinner, and then everything was fine. This kind of crew life was very hard for him to get used to. In his previous life, he worked on dramas and was both a screenwriter and a producer. He was busy 24 hours a day and didn't even have time to call outsiders.

But it’s nice to have some leisure time.

He has time to write his own martial arts, oh no, martial arts novels...

"Dong dong dong!"

At about seven o'clock, Chen Qi was writing when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door and Wang Haowei led Gong Xue to stand outside.

"Director Wang, do you have something to do with me?"

"You also saw it during the day. I want to study it with you and help Xiao Gong find the feeling as soon as possible."

"..."

Chen Qi looked at Gong Xue, she glanced at him and hid behind him in embarrassment.

"Oh, yes, please come in!"

Wang Haowei entered the room, looked around briefly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you are quite clean."

"It's so comfortable and can't be dirty."

He wanted to close the door, paused, but left a crack. There was only one chair in the room. Wang Haowei was also transparent and took the initiative to sit on the edge of the bed, leaving the chair for Gong Xue.

She is 39 years old, a director, married, and she cannot be criticized.

"You have also seen what happened today. I discussed it with Xiao Gong before, but I always felt that it was not satisfactory. You are the creator of the character, what do you think?"

"You mean for today's play?"

"Yes, Xiao Gong's performance."

"Uh, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Isn't this nonsense! Did I come here to tease you?"

"..."

Chen Qi glanced at Gong Xue and uttered words coldly and ruthlessly: "Stiff! Unnatural! Not life-like! Completely devoid of the heroine's spiritual temperament!"

Every time a word came out, Gong Xue's face turned pale, she wrung her fingers and lowered her head silently.

"Tell me more specifically!" Wang Haowei said.

"You stay in a foreign-related hotel for a week, observe the speech and behavior of overseas Chinese, and then imitate... But I personally feel that imitation is just preliminary preparation, and it is best not to bring it into the play.

When you imitate an overseas Chinese, are the audience looking at you or the character you imitate?

The actor's own characteristics are very important. It is enough to integrate what you observe into yourself and grasp one point, such as confidence. "

"confidence?"

Gong Xue looked up and blinked, feeling a little pitiful for being criticized.

"Look at those overseas Chinese, do they all hold their heads high and have a sense of superiority? Because we are poor and others are rich, we must have a sense of superiority. But you can't show a sense of superiority, that will make people annoying. You can show it A kind of confidence.

Think about it, your father is an officer of the Kuomintang. He lives a good life in the United States and is highly educated. You went up the mountain in a car and stayed in the Lushan Hotel, a luxurious suite, with so many staff waiting on you!

How could you not be confident? ?

You have almost no gloomy emotions, and everything is upward. If you show this, your spiritual temperament will be established. "

"Keep talking! Keep talking!"

Wang Haowei urged.

Chen Qi would not take the initiative to say this. He would only speak after Wang Hao agreed, and said: "To show this, there is no need to figure out something too complicated. First, you must hold your chest up and your head up. Love to laugh. Second, you should walk with a bigger stride."

"pace?"

Gong Xue was stunned.

"like this……"

As he spoke, Chen Qi stood up, walked to the middle of the room, pointed to his pants, and said, "You are wearing bell-bottom pants, and your pants legs are fat. When you take a small step, they get tangled together, which is very ugly.

The steps should be bigger and the strength of high heels should be shown.

That’s it! clatter! clatter!

The force of the heel hitting the ground.

There are also bags..."

Chen Qi carried his canvas bag and slung it over one shoulder, as if he was carrying an LV. He wore two pairs of torn slippers, as if he were wearing Hermès, with his chest raised and his head raised, his waist and hips coquettish, and he took a big step, piapiapia~

Objectively speaking, his experience with women's handbags far exceeds that of most lesbians today.

Today’s lesbians don’t know how to hold a foreign brand bag well.

"You just walk like this, get on the bridge, and then see the pillow stone, wow, wow! Show a bright smile, and preferably laugh like a silver bell, giggle..."

Poof!

Gong Xue couldn't hold it back, covered her mouth and kept laughing.

Wang Haowei laughed even more.

"Aren't you going to take pictures? Pay attention, what you are holding is a primary imaging camera (primary imaging cameras have been around for a long time, and they were bought from Hong Kong)"

"Who in the country has seen this thing before? But you are a rich lady, so it is just a toy. You have to show that you are very skilled and don't care too much..."

Chen Qi looked at her and encouraged: "The script is just the foundation, your own speculation is the contribution. When you stand in front of the camera, you are the one who controls this character. Don't let it control you."

"Who is Zhou Yun?"

"The role is given to you. You are Zhou Yun. From tomorrow on, you will wear beautiful clothes, a little foreign hat, and a camera, and travel around without having to think about anything... What does it mean to feel? This is feeling!"

Hiss!

Wang Haowei remained surprised for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about the long string of words just now. This string of words was not like the in-depth exploration of the characters and various theoretical analyzes that were usually discussed in meetings.

It's very easy to understand, and it's detailed and advanced layer by layer, breaking down the scene clearly!

"Xiao Chen! Where did you learn all this knowledge? I have been making movies for more than ten years, but I still can't explain what you are saying!"

"No, no, you are serious. I just like to watch movies, maybe 8,000 if not 10,000. I also like to read miscellaneous books and think about things. I figure it all out myself."

"Ten thousand? Why don't you go to heaven?"

Wang Haowei sighed, before he saw a genius, he didn’t know what a genius looked like. If such a person entered the Beijing Film Studio, whoops!

"..."

Gong Xue looked at him intently, her heart rising and falling.

He is so young, but he knows so much. The key is that he can understand it, just like teaching himself how to act. What I fear most is that I have no clue and don’t know how to act...

What an amazing person!
