My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 69

in the corner of the theater.

Liu Qingyun sat in a chair, holding the script in his hand, and read it word by word.

His talent may not be as good as Liang Gahui and Wu Zhenyu.

But he was lucky, because Huang Agou's character was clearly talking about himself.

The same depression and despair, the same want to get ahead.

When an actor performs in his true colors, he often brings his own character into the role when he creates a character, and it is easy to enter the play.Or it can't be called entering a play, it can be called acting as oneself.

Don't think it's easy to play yourself.

You are a playboy in real life, so you can show the charm of a playboy on camera.You can't necessarily act well.

Otherwise, why do all the stars who star in the movies make special appearances?
In front of the camera is very different from real life.Even acting in a TV show is very different from acting in a movie.

Liu Qingyun worked very hard. In order to play Huang Agou well, he not only recited his own lines, but also took the lines of several other characters from Wu Xiaozu.Research the attitude and reaction each character should have when he speaks.

There is also one such hard-working and hard-working actor in mainland China, called "actor Zhang Yi", who knows it!

Wu Xiaozu likes this kind of actor very much, or in other words, normal directors with artistic pursuits like this kind of actor, although they are often ugly.

Well, actually, Wu Xiaozu just thinks that this kind of actor is more worry-free.

It's shrunken and inconspicuous, but it's like the crew's military coat. It can be used when it is put on, the machine can be used to keep warm, the actors can be used to keep warm, and it can be used as a cushion under the buttocks.

Therefore, although Liu Qingyun walked very casually, the rhythm was also very casual.But there is the feeling that Wu Xiaozu wanted.

Depressed, but not really underappreciated.It is the life desire of an ordinary Hong Konger.

……

A dimly lit space with flickering lights.

A camera extended a large panorama on the rocker arm, and Huang Yuetai held the camera with a happy face.

From the position Wu Xiaozu set for the actor, he saw a wonderful sense of space.

He has never seen such a sense of space in the films of Hong Kong Island filmmakers.

Space is a wonderful word.But in many attractions movies, the sense of space must be an essential element.Especially in group plays, the most important thing to show is the director's control of the entire screen space.

Huang Yuetai felt that this play was different from any previous play.

If Wu Xiaozu heard his heart, he would praise him for being insightful.

From Kurosawa Akira's films to Du Laopao's films, they have created a subtle atmosphere of spatial imagery that is intoxicating.

In the lens.

Liu Qingyun sat in the far left corner, facing the camera, burying his head to eat.

Li Zhaoji and Gu Tianle, one with their legs crossed, and the other holding a mirror, sat looking at each other in the 45° deck of his right hand.

The camera pans slightly, and Luo Dong is sitting on the table with a cigarette in his mouth.Behind him, Zu Liyao was sitting with a newspaper.

The camera turned 180° to the door, and Wu Zhenyu was standing at the door with a red travel bag.

Seven people are sitting or standing, and they skillfully pull out a "confrontation" space picture.

It seems to be an irregular prismatic composition, with sharp corners facing other people.

This picture especially has a bit of a copycat feel to the vague confrontation in Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".In fact, there are more or less Kurosawa Akira's shadows in the movies of the Milky Way image.

Just like Wu Yusen's film is the modern version of director Zhang She.

Seven people represent seven emotions.

Happiness, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear, and shock.

At the same time, these seven emotions also run through the vein of the whole story.From the very beginning seven people appear until they end.

Standing outside the camera, Wu Xiaozu stared at Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun sat there, burying his head in eating.He didn't make a sound, his body didn't move, his face didn't move.When observing people, you just roll your eyes to wander among the crowd.This little detail brings a kind of mistrust into a vivid and vivid way.

Wu Zhenyu, who was standing at the door, was just the opposite. He stood in front of the door and glanced at everyone from left to right.His eyes didn't blink, his neck moved.

Different from the flat performances of the other five, the performances of the two are very three-dimensional and full.

They use two different ways to deduce the emotions that they need to show.

One introverted and one extroverted.One is subtle, the other is tense.

From the perspective of director Wu Xiaozu.The performance of the two at this time has far exceeded most of the actors.Not to mention the fresh meat of the stars of later generations.

Li Xiaofeng and Liao Yingdi acted "Psychological Crime". The acting skills were so hot that they directly covered Liao Yingdi's brilliance. From the basic skills of the lines to the expressions of the characters, it was simply a capital "bad".

And the wording is so fresh and refined.

Liu Dehua's early plays were also bad.But at least you let him play cool, handsome, and play a little gangster in "Tian Ruoyou Qing", which can really move people.The latter would just stare.

Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu are different from Liang Gahui's acting skills from the inside out.

In contrast, the two of them are still limited in the roles they are good at, and there is no integration.This is the case with Liu Qingyun in "Unforgettable" and "Dai Baishou".There are acting skills, but also very limited.It wasn't until it encountered the Milky Way image that it bloomed with another brilliance.

Compared with the restrained acting skills, it is difficult to give the audience a stunning effect.But when the audience is watching the play, they will be convinced of the role he played, and there is not much feeling of being in a play.

Wu Zhenyu is different.He acts out, very European and American style, especially easy to leave a deep impression.

So when the original "Young and Dangerous", "Mong Kok Fit People", "Cruel Police" and so on came out, it was really amazing.

The neurotic interpretation can be described as vivid and impressive.But it also restricted his play. It was not until Jordan in "Juliet and Liang Shanbo" and Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs" that people saw his other side besides neuroticism.

Both Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu are good actors, both talented and willing to work hard.

Even if they are ugly, Wu Xiaozu is happy to use them as actors.

This scene is very simple. It is about seven unreliable people forming a gang to smuggle Pingzhi to Zhanjiang.Everyone rhetoric and rhetoric, and then in the end no one paid the bill.In the end, I had no choice but to pay for Huang Agou, played by Liu Qingyun.

……

seven emotions.Liu Qingyun initially came with a 'worry'.

What about the other six?
Fei Cheng seems to be happy, but Wu Xiaozu actually posted "Fear" to the character "Da Fei".He himself deceived a few brothers. In fact, he didn't do business at all. He smuggled Wutai Pingzhi just to go to the gang to redeem his wife!Therefore, his 'fear' exaggeration is reasonable.Because he is a kind of "fear" that he tries to cover up.

Wu Zhenyu's "Amao" represents 'hi', a kind of absurd 'hi', which is black because of absurdity.His optimist character setting will be vividly displayed in the film, especially when the second choice is made.

The rest also have their own settings!Every setting has an inevitable connection.

In this way, the audience can have an impression when they come up, which is conducive to integrating into and out of the play, and the most important thing is to balance the acting skills of several people.

For the entire crew, the performances of Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu need not be mentioned, they are quite in line with the unsatisfactory setting in the play, and they can be performed with ease.

However, the performances of others were mixed.

Among them, Louis Koo, who is a newcomer, is the worst.

Stare at the camera.

Forget words while acting.

Range of performance shots.

The expression is not in place.

In short, he has all the mistakes that newcomers should make, and he has all the mistakes that newcomers should not make.

In this regard, Wu Xiaozu can only slowly figure it out.Can't let Gu Tianle change into Liang Chaowei at once?This is also too difficult for Hong Kong Island's bad female version of Xiao Lizi.

In a sense, actors are very similar to artists who are engaged in various other forms of artistic creation.

Anyone can become an actor.But if you want to become a real actor, you need strong professional qualities.

It can be said that a person who does not have the creative quality that an actor should have is impossible to engage in the creation of performing arts.

For a real actor, the most important thing is of course innate talent.I can't even envy this.

The second is the incomparable learning ability.

The first point Koo Tianle is very good.At least the image is far more than a large number of people.But the second point, probably because of age, he didn't show his superior talent.

But fortunately, he looks good enough!Idols are enough.Don't think that low cost means no good looks.Often small costs pay more attention to appearance.
