Chapter 1255 Acting Skills

The set of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box".

"Turn on the lights and let me see the effect." said Tan Yue.

The plot to be filmed today is that Zhizunbao sees the painting left for him by Guanyin in the cave, as well as the tight hoop curse and golden hoop stick.

"Got it."

At that moment, the assistant director shouted into the intercom: "Turn on the lights."

In an instant, the originally dim scene turned golden under the light.

Tan Yue first looked around and thought the effect was good, then went to the monitor to check the results captured by the camera.

This is a scene built in the film and television base.

Where real sets can be used, Tan Yue will never use sets built in film and television bases.

During this period, we were filming the scenes inside the "Pansy Cave".

After confirming that there was no problem, Tan Yue asked, "Has Zhou Can finished putting on makeup?"

"It's already painted."

"Let him come over and try it first."

After a moment, Zhou Can came trotting over.

Tan Yue said: "Let's go through it first."

"it is good."

  Zhou Can then walked through a rough process, including where to stop and when the lights in the scene would light up.

He was already familiar with these processes.

After everything was ready, Tan Yue said, "Achan, let's take a look this time."

Zhou Can made an "OK" gesture and handed the script in his hand to his agent.

After all irrelevant personnel left, the first round of filming began.

However, not long after it started, Tan Yue stopped it directly.

"Achan, your mood is not right, adjust it."

Zhou Can thought about the plot description of this section in the script and adjusted his state.

  Then take the second and third shots.

Zhou Can's condition has never reached Tan Yue's ideal state.

Tan Yue walked out from the monitor and said, "This is a very important inner drama for Zhizunbao. For the audience, they can only understand what Zhizunbao is thinking at this moment through your performance."

Zhou Can listened carefully and felt that his understanding was still too shallow and he had not discovered the characteristics of the character.

"I'll give it a try, just watch."

As he spoke, Tan Yue began to perform.

When not filming, Zhou Can spends every day figuring out how to act in order to improve his acting skills.

After several years of training, he thought his acting skills were pretty good.

But after watching Tan Yue's performance, Zhou Can suddenly realized that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

"Try this again."

Zhou Can nodded.

He felt he had understood.

Tan Yue sat back in front of the monitor and started filming again.

This time, Zhou Can's body movements and expressions were much better.

However, it still did not achieve the effect that Tan Yue wanted most.

After several adjustments, the ideal effect was finally achieved.

Tan Yue said: "Now see for yourself if you feel much better."

Zhou Can, who was sitting next to him, said, "It's much better than the first time we filmed it."

He himself also clearly felt that he had made a lot of progress.

Tan Yue said: "This kind of scene is the most challenging for an actor's acting skills. If you want to play a character's inner drama well, you must dig deep into the character. However, during the performance, this deep emotion cannot be expressed too clearly. Do you know what I mean?"

"I think I understand."

"Don't worry, you can continue to think about it when you have time."

Zhou Can said "hmm".

Then continue shooting.

We have been shooting a lot of night scenes recently, so it was already past midnight when Tan Yue returned to the hotel.

In order to allow the crew members to adapt, the shooting time is now being slowly adjusted.

After all, there are many night scenes in "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box".

Tan Yue first made himself a cup of tea to avoid getting too sleepy while reviewing the filming footage.

The director is the hardest working person in the entire crew and has to manage everything personally.

After finishing the shooting, you also need to check the shooting clips of the day and check the shooting plan for tomorrow.

At this time, Chen Ziyu had already fallen asleep.

Tan Yue sat in front of the coffee table, looking at the screen on the computer carefully.

Checking over and over again is to avoid any mistakes that were not noticed due to momentary negligence.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Checking out the clips is not like watching a movie, and by the time you’re done, nearly an hour has passed.

Tan Yue yawned, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

He still had some things to do and couldn't sleep for the time being.

Tan Yue took out the shooting schedule of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" from the drawer.

It has been a month since the filming started. The shooting efficiency is very good and the cooperation between the crew members is becoming more and more tacit.

According to the current situation, the wrap-up time will definitely be earlier than expected.

Tan Yue estimated some time and if the filming can continue at the current speed, the movie will most likely be released during the National Day holiday.

Although it is a bit early to consider the release date of the movie now, it can be considered as advance planning.

He had originally planned to release it during the golden week for movies.

Whether it is released during the National Day or the Spring Festival, what ultimately matters is the shooting progress.

We haven’t encountered too many problems during the current filming, but we can’t guarantee that there won’t be any problems during future filming.

After all, there are a lot of action scenes in this movie.

If an actor playing an important role gets injured, it is possible that the filming will be delayed.

I've thought about this so much because there have been incidents of actors getting accidentally injured on the set before.

The current shooting progress is a little faster than planned. Tan Yue first adjusted the shooting plan and then posted it in the group chat of the main staff members in the crew.

Things like props and makeup need to be prepared in advance.

Someone in the group chat immediately replied "Received".

After finishing all his work, Tan Yue looked up and saw that it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

He didn't finish the tea water in the cup because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep later that night.

Yawning, I felt sleepy again. I am busy every day and I stayed up late today, so I finally can't hold on any longer.

Tan Yue got up and went to wash up.

He felt that if he sat a little longer, he could spend the night on the sofa.

After taking a shower, Tan Yue changed into pajamas and lay comfortably on the bed.

The wind and sand are quite strong here in Ning Province, and you're covered in dust every day.

He no longer had the energy to play with his phone and fell asleep soon after lying down.

Although Chen Ziyu kept reminding him to take rest, he simply didn't care about it once he got busy.

The crew has a lot of things to do every day, so Tan Yue naturally can't sit still.

Although the filming process was very hard, it was very worthwhile.

After the movie was released, the internet was filled with positive reviews from the audience.

Perhaps because he was constantly filming, Tan Yue dreamed that he was watching "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box".

In the blink of an eye, some time passed.

"A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" is currently being filmed steadily.

Sasha came to the set, feeling a little nervous.

This time was different from watching other people filming normally, today she was going to film her scenes. "Shasha, come here."

"Assistant Director, has Director Tan arrived?"

"He's already here. He's in front of the monitor." The assistant director pointed to a shed and said, "Over there."

"I'll go say hello to Director Tan."

"Go."

Shasha walked over carefully, saw Tan Yue, and said, "Director Tan."

"Your scene will be filmed today, how are your preparations going?"

Sasha pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

If you are not ready yet, what have you been doing during this period?

  But if you are ready, what if something goes wrong during the shooting?

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Go put on your makeup first."

He was ready to keep shooting this set of shots.

After all, Sasha is just a college student and her acting skills are still a bit immature.

Zhou Can’s part still needs to be shot several times before it can be passed, not to mention that this student has not yet graduated from the drama academy.

"it is good."

Assistant Director: “This way.”

Sasha came to the dressing room and put on makeup while flipping through the script.

She is now very nervous and worried that there will always be problems during the filming.

What's more, I will be acting with Zhou Can in the evening.

The first time I played a serious role in a movie, I acted opposite a big star.

"So nervous?" asked the makeup artist.

She could feel Sasha trembling a little.

Shasha took a deep breath and said, "It's my first time filming a scene with Director Tan. I'm so nervous."

"Your nervousness will definitely affect your performance. Take this time to adjust."

Sasha nodded and said "hmm".

She didn't want to be nervous, but she just couldn't control herself.

More than half an hour later, Sasha, who had put on makeup and changed her clothes, arrived on the set.

"Shasha, come here for a moment."

When Sasha heard Tan Yue calling her, she ran over immediately.

"Director Tan, Teacher Zhou."

Just now, Tan Yue was explaining the play to Zhou Can.

Tan Yue said: "You guys go through it first, find out your position and feel it."

"Okay." Sasha nodded obediently.

At this time, the assistant director came over leading a donkey.

Seeing Shasha's cautious look, Tan Yue asked, "Are you scared?"

"A little bit." Shasha said, "I can overcome it."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Come here first."

In the following time, Tan Yue personally instructed Shasha on how to act.

Tan Yue was very patient with other actors and explained every detail to Shasha, even the walking posture.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

“I think we can try it out first.”

Tan Yue said: "Okay, we can shoot now."

The character played by Shasha is called "Fairy Zixia" and she doesn't have many scenes in "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box".

This part is about "Supreme Treasure" accidentally traveling back to five hundred years ago using the Moonlight Box.

As the stagehands clapped the clapboard, the filming began.

After Zhou Can finished his lines, Shasha, who was supposed to appear with the donkey, did not show up.

On the other side, Shasha was trying hard to pull the donkey forward, but the donkey was so stubborn that it not only refused to move but also kept braying.

"Click." Tan Yue asked, "What's going on with Shasha?"

The assistant director quickly said, "The donkey didn't move forward."

Accidents happen.

Scenes with animals are even more difficult to control.

Fortunately, the donkey's owner was there and taught Shasha how to lead the donkey, and the donkey finally followed.

Once the problem is solved, continue shooting.

The donkey's problem was solved, but problems with people started to arise.

Sasha was a little nervous, and her expression was stiff when she smiled, as if she was smiling bitterly.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed and we had tried to shoot more than ten takes, but accidents always happened and the scene never went through.

Tan Yue encouraged: "Don't take it too seriously. Not to mention Zhou Can, Mr. Ma also shot dozens of takes for one shot. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, relax and feel the characteristics of the character."

"Director Tan, let's try it again." Sasha said firmly.

She put too much pressure on herself and problems arose during the performance.

"OK."

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

Tan Yue said: "This is the last one. Let's go take a rest first."

While everyone else was resting, Sasha sat under the shed, recalling where she had made mistakes.

Tan Yue, who came back from the toilet, noticed Shasha and said, "Don't worry about it. Your performance is already very good."

"Thank you, Director Tan."

At this time, Sasha was full of regrets. For these few minutes of footage, so many people accompanied her for more than two hours.

"I remember your profile says you're a student of the Beijing Drama Academy?"

"Yes, I'm still a junior now."

Tan Yue asked: "Have you ever considered continuing to be an actor?"

He felt that Shasha was an actress with great potential and that she could understand certain things very quickly.

If Sasha hadn't been so nervous this time, Tan Yue believed that he could have finished filming this scene quickly.

"When I chose to take the art exam, I hoped that I could shoot a lot of film and television works in the future, just like Teacher Xin Zhi, and be liked by many people." Sasha lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes.

After seeing what happened to people around her over the years, she has become somewhat resistant to this industry.

If Sasha has no connections and can only exchange her body for resources, she would rather not be an actor.

"Are you interested in joining Brilliant Entertainment?"

"Ah?" Sasha raised her head, her eyes revealing disbelief and innocence.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Our company always welcomes potential actors like you to join us. Are you interested in joining our company?"

"Yes, of course I'm interested." Shasha said excitedly: "I'm willing to join Brilliant Entertainment Company."

She was just a junior student who had not yet graduated, so she was of course aware of her acting skills and was naturally very excited to hear the invitation.

Brilliant Entertainment is the most powerful entertainment company in the country.

"We'll talk about this in detail after the movie is over."

"Thank you, Director Tan."

"You continue to rest, I have something else to do."

After Tan Yue left, Sasha could hardly control her excitement.

Before, she was worried about finding resources every day, but now Brilliant Entertainment has extended an olive branch to her.

She is once again full of expectations for the path of an actor.

Sasha has always believed that she will reap rewards through her own efforts.

Sasha is now very happy that she came to audition for Brilliant Entertainment.
