Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"There is no money, and things are not selling well."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head, turned and walked out of the shop.

These things have nothing to do with him, and there is nothing he can do.

"Hey, did you put the batch of oil and medicine I gave you last time in your small hotel?"

"Show it." The old man looked at Cheng Yong and said, "No one uses it. Everyone brings their own now, and the ones they use are branded. Yours is already an old model, so it's not popular."

"I've used your stuff before, but it doesn't work."

After speaking, the old man opened the door and left.

"The effect isn't working?" Cheng Yong muttered to himself with a cigarette in his mouth, "That's because you can't do it yourself. You're an old man, how strong is the effect?"

"If it turns you into a young man, it's not an aphrodisiac, it's a elixir!"

"Crack!"

The assistant director called to stop, and the filming of this scene was over.

During the performance, the two actors were very familiar with their acting skills, so they did it all at once, and there were no low-level mistakes such as forgetting lines or not catching up with each other's words.

Powerful actors generally seldom make such low-level mistakes, unless it is some comedies, maybe some words and scenes really make the actors' emotions stop laughing for a while.

Generally, such scenes that are not too difficult are played over once.

If this is changed to a traffic star, it is not necessarily the case. First of all, there is a problem with the lines. Some people are not familiar with the lines. With the post-dubbing, it is enough to read the numbers during the live shooting.

I can't do the most basic things well, let alone acting skills.

Just Chen Mubai's desolate look, let a traffic star act, no matter what, he can't act that way, at most he can only make a similar appearance.

Maybe the styling is not good enough, traffic stars and idols have a lot of burdens, some tragic scenes will require to ensure their handsome appearance, it is impossible to achieve the level of Chen Mubai, who doesn't care about appearance at all.

In the original movie, Cheng Yong frowned and said this with a helpless expression.

But Chen Mubai himself made a modification here, using his own understanding to deduce his understanding and performance of the current situation of the characters.

It is impossible to say which is good and which is bad. This is the actor's perception of the role.

If it is true, it can only be judged by the audience.

Chen Mubai didn't think that his understanding was necessarily correct, he could act out both ways, and then let everyone see the effect and choose one version for voting.

"Let's play the next scene." The assistant director looked at Chen Mubai to see his opinion.

Chen Mubai was the director, and he made all the decisions. The assistant director thought the scene was well shot, so he could skip this scene and shoot the next scene.

Chen Mubai looked at the scene he just acted, and said, "Do it again."

"Are you still here?" The assistant director said in surprise, "You did a great job."

"I want to see the effect in another way." Chen Mubai said.

"good!"

"Come on, don't move the scene, let's do another one!"

"First scene, first shot, second time, action!"

Chen Mubai changed his expression method, and used a different mentality to perform and speak.

"Again?"

"You did really well just now!"

Some people don't understand why Chen Mubai has to do it again, why he has to take two shots that can be shot once.

"Is Chen Mubai dissatisfied with the performance just now? In my opinion, it is already perfect!"

"Perhaps this is the reason why the quality of each of his films is very high, it is this attitude of earnestly pursuing perfection." The middle-aged actor praised.

"Hey, although the lines haven't changed,

But the tone changed. "

When everyone watched Chen Mubai perform with a different mentality, they found a change. ,

"Yeah, I still feel like a down-and-out middle-aged man. It doesn't seem to have changed, but there have been changes."

After watching it, the middle-aged actor breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The first kind of performance is more inclined to the interpretation of the heart. In fact, there are more performances in the eyes and face, which exudes that decadent temperament from the inside out."

"The second type puts more emphasis on tone and action, and the lines are more exclamatory."

"The difference is that the first kind of performance is more restrained. Some audiences may not notice his true inner emotions, while the second kind of performance is more intuitive. Everyone can know his state through his tone of voice."

"The first type of performance is suitable for the judges, that is, insiders, and the interpretation is a little deeper. The second type is for the public, and it is broader."

"So it's like this..." A group of newcomers suddenly realized.

They watched the scene very actively and absorbed other people's explanations.

This drama used a lot of extras. Chen Mubai gave some newcomers in the company the opportunity to comeo, and also hoped to give them a little practical experience, which would be beneficial to the company's training in the future.

For these newcomers, the wonderful performances of the seniors on the scene are the best materials, which can give them a deeper understanding of the performance so that they can improve their performance talents.

Acting is also a combination of theory and practice. If you don’t understand the expression of the characters’ emotions and behaviors required in a play, how can you express the state of the characters?

Only by trying to figure out the thoughts first and understand the behavior of the characters, can we imitate and perform with reference to this state.

It's like a crying scene, it's very simple, open your mouth and scream, and then cry, anyone can do it.

There are also many kinds of problem crying scenes, not to mention the big categories of happy crying and sad crying.

There are several types of sad crying alone, heart-piercing crying, silent crying...

These expressions are also different. Some crying scenes require hoarse performances, while others have the same face, but tears will flow from the corners of the eyes.

Different expressions represent different personalities and behaviors of the characters. It does not mean that the more painful the expression, the greater the sadness. The kind of crying that is more sorrowful than heart-dead usually has no expression, because the emotion bursts in the heart.

But this kind of expressionless crying is different from crying with dull facial expressions that cannot be performed, and the audience can feel it personally.

This is the difference in acting ability. Although the same expressionless cry, the emotions expressed are actually very different.

This is the difference between powerful actors and ordinary actors, and it is also the difference between powerful stars and traffic stars.

Just like the realm of martial arts mentioned in martial arts movies, the first level: Mountains are mountains, and water is water.

The second level: looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water.

The third layer: look at mountains or mountains, look at water or water.

The first and third layers have the same meaning, but are different.

The first level is a simple understanding and cognition, and then to express, the second level is after a lot of practice, understanding and cognition, have a deep understanding of a certain aspect, and know the principles, and then to express.

Simply put, from entry to proficiency.

The third level can be regarded as returning to the basics. The performance has reached the point where it can be contracted freely. It has a deep understanding of the science of performance and has a comprehensive understanding, so it is more advanced in terms of processing and returns to the original.

Even though the appearance of the performance is the same as that at the beginning, the core is very different, and the emotions contained in it are completely different.

The third level is the penetrating three-pointer, which is a higher level than mastery.

Everyone needs to have a journey, that is, the experience of going through these three layers.

If you want to run before you can walk, it will definitely not work.

To them, Chen Mubai's performance belongs to the third level, so they still need to master it step by step to realize this level.

You can't learn just by watching, but it will give them more experience and understanding, so that they can think more about and improve their acting skills.

After the second pass, this time Chen Mubai didn't ask for another shot, but went to the next scene to continue shooting.

As long as there are no problems with the performances and scenes, there is no need to keep shooting. Keeping improving depends on the specific quality. It is a waste of time and energy to keep shooting after meeting the standards.

The next part of the scene is about the background introduction of Cheng Yong and his miserable life.

It can be said that the first half of his life was basically ruined, no wonder the start was so depressing, this kind of thing would happen to anyone, and he would even be devastated.

Soon, the scene came to a turning point.

Lu Yiyi took a gringo to find Cheng Yong, hoping that he could go to the United States for purchasing.

The reason why they chose him was because the Viagra and oil he sold were produced in the United States, and they thought he had purchase channels in the United States.

It is definitely better to find someone who is familiar with the United States than someone who has never been to the United States!

Moreover, Cheng Yong himself is poor, so it is possible to do this.

"Are you ready?"

"ok!"

All the crew responded loudly with hand gestures, and the actors were also ready to finish.

"Put on the mask."

Chen Mubai saw that the actor Lu Yiyi's makeup was fine, his body was very thin, his face was yellow and thin, and he looked a little weak at first glance, like a patient, but he didn't wear a mask.

"ah?"

Chen Mubai's words caught everyone's attention.

"In the setting, Lu Yiyi has leukemia, and it is very difficult to treat him successfully at his level. This is the reason why I asked Zhongli to lose weight."

"A person who suffers from a disease must be thin and thin. Because of this, he himself knows his physical condition. These patients are very sensitive. When he sees people, he will definitely wear a mask to cover himself. It is also for others. A kind of protection."

"In the subconscious of these patients, they know that they are patients and are different from ordinary people. They will shrink themselves and minimize meeting with others. This is a kind of inferiority complex."

"So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized.

After hearing Chen Mubai's explanation, everyone understood that a mask reveals the heart of the patient.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be so.

After all, leukemia is not an ordinary ailment, but a patient in the middle and late stage. After a period of suffering from the disease, the mentality will indeed change.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about it, if it were them themselves, they would probably be like this too.

Everyone admired Chen Mubai even more, especially those new generation actors, who had only heard of Chen Mubai's great name before, and knew a series of things about him, so they admired him.

Only after working with him did I realize that no one's success is accidental, and the meticulous observation of characters and certain groups can only be discovered after a long period of accumulation.

The reason why he can succeed quickly is inseparable from high-quality scripts, but these high-quality scripts are the product of his careful observation and writing, and he gains as much as he does.

"So, outsiders only see Chen Mubai's glamorous achievements, but they don't know the sweat and hard work behind him!"

At this moment, many newcomers admired Chen Mubai even more.

After having such a reputation, it is worthy of everyone's admiration to be able to maintain a firm heart and produce conscientious works instead of relying on fame to collect money.
