Entertainment: I can refine my acting skills every day

Chapter 99 097. If you act well, you will direct; if you direct well, you will act well!!

The director's car drove all the way into the mountains.

Looking at the emerald green branches and leaves outside the window, Su Chen figured it out.

No wonder Jiang Wen specially dragged him into the director's car.

It turned out to be to ask him to help keep an eye on the monitor.

How to talk about this matter? You can talk about it in a small way, or you can talk about it in a big way.

At a very small level, it's just to help. Although we don't have your role, you are also a member of the directing team and one of our own.

Whether Zhou Runfa or Ge You, they were all invited outsiders.

You can't let outsiders sit in front of the monitor to check for you.

To put it more seriously, Jiang Wen really admired Su Chen, so letting him stare at the monitor when he had nothing to do was quite meant to train Su Chen.

You know, although there is a saying in the industry that acting is better than directing.

What I'm saying is that once actors become famous, many of them will transform into directors.

However, there is actually another sentence.

If you direct well, you will be able to act.

What does that mean?

That is to say, when an actor has the director's way of thinking in his mind, he will know better how to act in this place, how to pick up the next place, and how to edit in the later stage.

Some actors think that acting is just about saying lines, and after reciting the lines, they slap their butts and walk away.

A lot of the rest of the work is left to post-editing.

The actors didn't even look at the scene, which made the editing of the scenes look awkward.

There are also actors who speak without leaving any room for the editor to breathe.

A long paragraph cannot be cut, and it would be too cumbersome to put in the film. You should throw away this material. No, but keep this fragment. It is like adding a piece of shit to the film.

all in all.

Regardless of whether Jiang Wen cultivated Su Chen's awareness of becoming a director, by letting Su Chen do this job, he was at least doing his part to help Su Chen make faster progress.

I feel like I regard you as my disciple, but I haven’t said it clearly and I won’t say it clearly.

Of course, if Su Chen stared at the monitor well, Jiang Wen would have to watch it again after finishing the performance.

If his stare wasn't good, Jiang Wen would have to watch it again.

So anyone can be this person, and letting Su Chen come is a direct statement that I think you can do it, even if you don’t do it, you have to do it!

…

At about nine o'clock in the morning, basically all the actors had already arrived at their positions.

Su Chen finally met Zhou Runfa and Fa's sister-in-law face to face for the first time, as well as Uncle Ge Youge.

Not only are these two main actors, but there are also some guest appearances, such as Feng Xiaogang who has two lines in "On the Train"!

And Liu Jialing is also there.

Seeing Carina Lau, Su Chen couldn't help but think of Tony Leung.

Is this the influence of Xiangjiang’s golden generation up to now?

The man filmed "The Grandmaster" in Wong Kar-Wai's film, and the woman came to play the "county elder's wife" in Jiang Wen's movie.

In the well-known movie theater blockbusters of this era, almost all top-notch and well-known actors are eligible to appear.

It's so difficult for newcomers to get started.

Su Chen was reborn so that he could take advantage of every opportunity, but even so, he could only play a supporting role.

It’s no wonder that the other classmates left the circle and jumped out of the circle.

It's really difficult to get ahead in this industry.

…

But having said that, the aura of these top actors standing on the set is obviously different from other actors.

Zhou Runfa has just returned from Hollywood, and he doesn’t say that the industrial processes in Hollywood are much more professional than those in China at the same time, the equipment is much better than that in China, and the special effects are much better than those in China.

But just because I have been to Hollywood, even if I don’t have any good results, I am still gold-plated.

Not to mention Uncle Ge, he has acted in countless movies with Zhang Yimou and Feng Pants. In recent years, he has been working with first-line directors, not to mention his aura.

Jiang Wen stood at the front of the entire crew.

Zhou Runfa and Ge You stood a step behind, and other actors, such as Carina Lau, Liao Fan, Shao Bing, Su Chen and others, all stood in the first and second rows of the crew.

After that are the lighting engineer, camera assistant, props team, makeup team, etc.

There was a table in front of Jiang Wen.

There was a film camera on the table, covered with a bright red silk cloth. There were pig heads and fruits on both sides of the camera, and there was an incense burner underneath.

There is a small pile of incense sticks beside the incense burner.

After some beautiful words at the opening ceremony, the main actors then offered incense one by one.

Then the firecrackers exploded and the red cloth on the film camera was lifted off.

Done!

Power on!

…

Bang bang bang!

Three blank shots fired.

Jiang Wen faced the morning sun, riding on his horse, holding the reins with one hand, looking high and high.

The horses' hooves kept trampling on the surrounding green grass, raising pieces of grass clippings.

"Morning son!"

"Then I'll leave this part to you."

"Keep an eye on it for me."

Su Chen wore a hat and held the messy footage Jiang Wen gave him in his hand. He sat in the shade of the tent and made an OK gesture to Jiang Wen from a distance.

Although Su Chen has not counted the entire "Let the Bullets Fly" movie, he has watched it at least six or seven times. In addition, he was always there when the script was being compiled, so no matter which part was filmed, it was always in his mind.

Have a general impression.

Su Chen put down the storybook and stared at the monitor.

He was not the only one in the entire tent, but other big-name celebrities were also there. Zhou Runfa, his wife, and Ge You had specially rented an RV with a price of 20,000 yuan a day and prepared it nearby.

People are not exempt from this crime.

Because whether it’s a photographer or an actor, Jiang Wen is the one communicating.

So Su Chen just sat in the position that should belong to Jiang Wen and watched, as long as nothing big went wrong.

In fact, Su Chen is quite conspicuous sitting in this seat.

He is young and very handsome. The other people in the tent are all top players in the industry. Liu Jialing did not go to rest and was looking at the camera in the tent.

Su Chen was sitting at the front and closest to the monitor.

It's just weird.

Except for Liao Fan, Shao Bing and the others who live together and are familiar with each other on weekdays, none of the other actors know who Su Chen is.

Especially Feng Xiaogang, who came to play the role of Master. He wore a black Tang suit and a white hat. He leaned back and chatted with Liu Jialing, but his eyes kept drifting towards Su Chen.

He is a director, but he has never had the habit of letting actors stare in front of the monitor.

I don’t know which one Jiang Wen is playing.

How can people sit in the director's seat randomly?

However, when he came to this crew to make a guest appearance, he was just a guest. The host didn’t say anything, and the guest couldn’t say much either.

I'm just very curious about what kind of role Su Chen is and why Jiang Wen trusts him so much.

If Feng Pengtang knew that Su Chen personally helped Jiang Wen write letters to invite Ge You and Zhou Runfa in this drama, I'm afraid he would be able to understand the reason for this trust.
