entertainment first

On this morning, Bi Xia, Zhu Jianye and others gathered in the classroom of the Acting Department of the Film School. The courses of the Acting Department are more open-ended than other courses. In addition to taking classes in ordinary classrooms, they also have a very spacious ladder classroom.

It is used exclusively for daily acting classes. There is a term in the acting profession called liberating nature.

The fact that Bi Xia and others borrowed this lecture theater today is naturally a credit to two teachers, Xiao Yang and Wang Li. Today is the first time that this small crew has gathered together, mainly for everyone to get to know each other, and the official filming will begin in the afternoon.

"Boy, who is your 'first love'? You haven't said it for so many days. Are you reluctant to let it go?" Huang Xuyi put his arm around Bi Xia's neck and said viciously.

"I told you that you don't know me. Besides, we can meet you later," Bi Xia replied with a wry smile. The day after Bi Xia met Liu Yufei, he received a call from her and agreed to play the role of the school beauty.

Let Bi Xia put her mind at ease. If she didn't act under such conditions, her temperament and beautiful appearance would be in vain.

After Liu Yufei agreed to Bi Xia, he told them that there was no need to look for actors. The roles of school beauty and Hao Lei were already in place. So he would be questioned by Huang Xuyi every day, but Liu Yufei would only come here today.

, and he had no choice.

"Haha, hello, everyone, I'm Hao Lei!" came an aunt's laughter, and with a hearty and neat voice, Hao Lei's fat figure appeared at the door.

"It's really Hao Lei!" Huang Xu also exaggeratedly circled Hao Lei twice. He admired Bi Xia a little. This girl fit the character in the script so well that he didn't know where he found it. Although he had also heard Bi Xia

I’ve introduced it before, but I still can’t help but sigh when I see it in person.

"It's true!" Hao Lei stretched out her chubby arms and patted her chest.

There were more than a dozen people in the classroom. In addition to the two protagonists, Huang Xu also volunteered to be the photographer. He had some talent in this area. Zhu Jianye had a shooting experience. He served as the deputy director to assist Bi Xia in controlling the crew. Everything else was fine.

Among the alumni who participated in the performance, there was a lighting engineer who was a senior who had graduated. He came here to help this time.

Hao Lei turned her head and glanced around, and then focused her eyes on Wang Li. She walked to Wang Li, her fat body in sharp contrast with Wang Li's thin body. "Damn it, how old are you, and you still participate?"

"Happy Boy, can you still dance?" Hao Lei put her hand on her waist and pointed at Wang Li and said with an expression like a middle-aged woman scolding her man.

Xiao Yang and Wang Li looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. This girl was a perfect match to play Hao Lei.

"Haha..." Hao Lei didn't wait for the other party to speak, she smiled sheepishly and said, "Teachers, I'm sorry, just now..." Bi Xia briefly introduced the crew to Hao Lei on the phone.

Compared to the relationship between Bi Xia and others, who are either teachers, students or alumni, she is undoubtedly an outsider. Only then did she come up with such a trick to successfully get everyone to accept her.

"Two brothers, let me solemnly introduce to you Hao Lei, the actor who plays 'Hao Lei' in the film." Bi Xia took a step forward, pointed at Hao Lei and introduced.

"Is her name really Hao Lei?!"

"It's a coincidence!"

The two of them were amazed. Such a thing was really rare. Not only did they have the same name, but they actually had the same body shape, as if they were the prototypes of the characters in the play.

"Haha, I was shocked when I first heard Bi Xia talk about it." Zhu Jianye also said with a smile. After all, they were together every day and discussed the details of the film again and again, so he was also surprised when Bi Xia introduced it.

.

"Hello, is this the crew of "Oldboy"?" came a clear and cold voice.

All the people gathered subconsciously turned to look at the door, and saw a girl standing at the door. She was wearing a white dress, a pair of pure and bright eyes without impurities, a pretty little nose, and skin as soft as cream and snow.

Pure and dreamlike.

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you!" When Bi Xia saw Liu Yufei's arrival, her last worry disappeared and she walked towards her with a smile.

"I promised you, great director." Liu Yufei has a cold personality and an innate nobility, but she is by no means the kind of girl who wears princess dresses all day long. Through these few days of communication, Bi Xia knows that she is very similar to Jin

The "Little Dragon Girl" written by the old man has a cold appearance but an unknown fire inside.

She is also an ordinary girl, noisy and noisy, and likes canvas shoes and torn jeans, but precisely because of this, Bi Xia feels more real.

Liu Yufei's appearance aroused everyone's attention. She is really stunningly beautiful. Speaking of which, everyone is from the film school. Compared with other universities, it can be said to be a concentration camp of beauties. There are many beauties competing for beauty, and everyone is somewhat immune to beauties.

It's just that Liu Yufei is different. She is not necessarily prettier than the female classmates in the film school, but her indifference, coolness, and nobility make her temperament particularly outstanding and attractive.

"You're usually noisy, why are you so quiet now!" Zhu Jianye pushed Huang Xuyi, who was standing silently next to him.

"Hey, I finally know the meaning of Bi Xia's 'first love'!" Huang Xu also rarely said deeply. This sentence also attracted everyone's nods. Liu Yufei didn't apply makeup, she just stood there and attracted everyone unconsciously.

The eyes were so bright and beautiful, everyone couldn't help but feel like "this is how our first love should be".

…

The biggest difference between the work of the new generation of directors and the old generation of directors is the difference between "talking about the play" and "talking about the play". Before shooting, the old-school director gathered all the relevant actors in front of him and told them the entire script.

Tell the actors your understanding of the scene, your requirements, and the goals you need to achieve, and inspire the actors to use their skills and control when performing.

In this process, the actors do not participate in the creation of the plot, and they do not need to consider whether there are certain problems in the script. The only thing they need is to implement the director's intention accurately and vividly.

But in the new century, this has fundamentally changed. The new generation of directors will gather actors and relevant creative staff to talk about the drama together before shooting. There is a relatively professional term in the director's textbook called "playing".

The so-called "play preparation" is actually a large group of people sitting together to preview a movie for more than an hour. After all, the plot is performed by the actors. Many times, the emotional logic and dialogue control of each character in the script will affect other people.

performance, so rehearsal before shooting is very important.

Of course, "preserving drama" does not mean abandoning drama. "Preserving drama" just sets the tone of the entire movie. Its fundamental purpose is to allow actors to participate in the creation, rather than just blindly acting.

Every director has his own understanding of a script and what he wants to express, so storytelling is essential during filming. Actors, especially powerful actors, often have their own unique understanding of some roles.

, maybe a flash of inspiration occurred in certain clips, giving this character a new image, and this may be the most brilliant part of the entire film.

"Screen play" only increases the communication between actors and related personnel and the director, allowing everyone to participate in the creation of the script, making the film more logical and rigorous, which is a progress in the history of film.

After everyone sat down, Bi Xia and the other three began to distribute the prepared manuscripts. This was also the official script used by the crew in the future. After seeing everyone open the scripts, Bi Xia took out the director's stand and coughed dryly: "Let's start, rehearse it first.

." At this moment, although Bi Xia still had a gentle smile on his face, his expression became more solemn and confident.

Zhu Jianye immediately understood the idea and began to read the narration to the script:

"Scene 1, Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai participate in the 'Happy Boys' rematch."

The scene suddenly fell into silence. Xiao Yang and the others were supposed to follow the lines, but none of them made a sound. After a while, Xiao Yang raised his head and glanced at Bi Xia, and said with emotion: "I'm sorry, Bi Xia. But you really

Give us a big surprise.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at the manuscript of the script in their hands, because the others didn't have many roles to begin with. They had received the script before and knew the dialogue by heart. Now that they saw Xiao Yang saying this, they were curious about what secrets there were in the script.

It’s amazing to see...

This script is somewhere between a storyboard script and a stage play script.

The so-called storyboard script is commonly known as the director's script. Each storyboard script will have requirements, lighting, shooting, character psychological analysis, expected effects, etc. It can be said that with a complete storyboard script in hand, even a rookie can shoot a movie.

Not even too bad.

As for stage play scripts, the time is marked on each line of dialogue. The number of seconds it takes to finish a sentence and the number of seconds it takes to answer the words are all accurately marked. This is because the live performances of stage plays have a fixed time, and live performances

Everyone's lines are prescribed in the movie. Otherwise, if an actor stretches out his lines or has too many improvisational performances in order to show off himself, he will have to compress other people's roles, which will directly lead to plot confusion. That's why there is such a thing.

strict regulations.

Very few people in film and television dramas can make scripts so precise. Not to mention stage scripts, even split-shot scripts usually only have character analysis and the director’s expectations and requirements. The reason is that in order to produce such a precise script, first of all

The director himself must have super high performance logic, and it takes a lot of energy and repeated attempts to finalize the final version. Most directors don't have this level or time. They usually let the actors perform on their own, and then hand it over to the editor for control later.

But Bi Xia is different. He has a complete film in his mind. Even if there are some changes, he will simulate it through his brain that is far more developed than ordinary people. Moreover, film is very expensive, so it is better to save as much as possible.

Filmmaking has been making progress. In the 1970s and 1980s, the film and television industry in Hong Kong and Baodao began to flourish before the mainland. At that time, there were no scripts for making movies. Most of the time, the director had an idea and then found someone to write a rough script.

Just set up a stage to shoot. There was a director in Bishop's memory who was such a director. He made movies without a script. He would ask the actors to keep acting until he felt what he needed. Many times he himself didn't know what he was doing.

What is needed, the actor can only blindly imagine. Therefore, his films always have a strong personal style, extremely stylized visual images, and a postmodern expression.

It is also precisely because of this that the directors and actors of that era were very strong, and they had too much to show for themselves, and the movies of that era were also full of imagination.

Bi Xia's script does not completely follow the stage play to limit the actor's line time. His script is very detailed in the restoration of the scene, and is extremely precise in the character dialogue and psychological analysis, but there are not many hard and fast rules for the actors' performances because he does not want to restrict the actors.

nature.

Sometimes improvisation can have unexpected effects. A good director or a good actor is not enough to make a film. It is like a precision instrument, which requires the precise cooperation of every part to complete it well.

It was Liu Yufei's first time working in a film. She sat quietly and listened to everyone's emotion and admiration for Bi Xia's script. Her heart was slightly stirred, and the excitement of the film world was beginning to emerge.
