Chapter 945 The Bottleneck of Acting Skills

One thought, one wrong thought, sometimes the landscape is reversed.

Yi Shuihan sighed inaudibly, but he was thinking about his own affairs.

Even in this world, Yi Shuihan still couldn't forget those encounters when he was a child.

The sky in the orphanage was gray, and the low wall that restrained them left an indelible mark on their lives.

He doesn't have many happy memories of his childhood, often obscure.

Because of his stubborn temper, he was squeezed out by the children in the courtyard.

He still clearly remembered that on the first birthday of the child, the dean bought him a cake, and he invited all the children to eat the cake, but he did not invite Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan squatted on the threshold and watched with tears in his eyes a group of children happily eating cakes and playing.

Many times when he went out to play, Yi Shuihan would be squeezed out. The child would lead everyone to play hide-and-seek, and then let Yi Shuihan blindfold him. When he opened his eyes, they were all gone.

Many times, Yi Shuihan was squeezed out almost every day in his memory.

Later, when I went to elementary school, I met a teacher who had no morality, and was often locked in the toilet during naps...

Those events, those memories left too many imprints in Yi Shuihan's life.

Because most of the time he sits and watches others play, fantasizing that he is one of them, his observation ability gradually becomes stronger.

Because of being excluded and teased, he has become a little sensitive and has an extremely powerful insight into other people's emotions.

Because he doesn't have many friends, he looks a bit lonely and restrained.

It's not a character defect, but it has always affected Yi Shuihan.

Even falling in love with acting has this effect. It is precisely because reality constrains him that he wants to experience a different and wonderful life in the play.

Even now, he is deeply influenced by his childhood experiences.

He looks far more mature than his peers, and he is also much more restrained and low-key than ordinary entertainers.

But there are many things that are deeply rooted and cannot be changed.

For example, Yi Shuihan is still stubborn, persistent, and diligent.

The same is true for Ah Xing in "Kung Fu".

Even though he was deeply influenced by the shadow of childhood, even as he grew up, he began to obey the so-called social laws.

He is still kind in his heart, even if humble.

When Ah Xing held the stick for the first time, he pretended to be calm, and was forced to hit Brother Chen on the head in a hurry, even he couldn't believe it.

Even when he was about to die, he wanted to hit Huoyun Cthulhu on the head. Ah Xing became the leader for the first time, and finally figured out what he wanted.

The silence of the dumb girl can be better than the sound, good and evil will always be clear in the end, and those persistence and ideals that are thought to disappear are always around the corner.

"In order to maintain world peace", these words were first uttered by childhood A Xing. The bully in the play and the audience outside the play are probably laughing at the child's innocence and overreach.

But in the end, Ah Xing was reborn in white clothes, and the move of lifting weights as lightly as possible actually came true.

Good and evil are rewarded, this is the belief that Ah Xing can't forget no matter how poor and humble, it has been sublimated at the end of the movie, which moved everyone.

Gradually, Yi Shuihan's understanding of the role of Ah Xing gradually deepened, and he also began to try acting.

"Just for the show? The ax helps the elder brother take a nap inside, anyone who is not afraid of death can take a step forward!"

"Oh... so there's nothing to discuss?"

"Okay! The rules of the rivers and lakes, one-on-one, it's one team, no one is allowed to foul!"

"Aunt who took the onion, come out! Why do you have such a fierce expression, you think you can beat me? I will let you punch me, hit me... Puff! What are you doing... Plowing the field, plowing the field well, go back to the field go inside."

"You still talk back when you do something wrong, I wouldn't have kicked you if I didn't see your fault."

"That dwarf, the one with the unconvinced face, is you..."

……

This is the first time in the movie that Ah Xing came to Zhulongzhai to pretend to be a member of the Ax Gang to blackmail, and it was also a part that tested his acting skills.

Yi Shuihan tried to perform this segment completely, and there was a video camera not far in front of him.

This is so that he can go back to watch his performance later, check for omissions and make up for vacancies.

Once, twice, three times... Even though Yi Shuihan performed it completely, even he himself felt a little awkward.

This feeling is even more pronounced when looking back at the video.

Master Xing's body language and micro-expressions have always been outstanding among actors. The simplest example is the police officer Huang Zhicheng in "Infernal Affairs" who fell from the roof of the building and landed on the taxi. Chen Yongren, played by Yi Shuihan, looked back. A scene that people still talk about until now.

But when playing the role of Ah Xing at this time, it feels a little blunt and deliberate.

Especially compared with Zhou Xingxing's original version, Yi Shuihan felt that he was a poor imitator.

His expression and demeanor are all in place, but he always fails to achieve the effect he wants.

Doing comedies is more difficult than dramas and tragedies. This is Yi Shuihan's understanding of the acting industry, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

In performance, one second faster and one beat slower, the effect is completely different.

And actors need to be more proficient in grasping rhythm, lines, body language, micro-expressions and even their own mentality.

Exaggeration is too much, too much restraint has no effect, and the overall structure requires rhythm without being chaotic.

In addition to the normal grasp of character images and plot development, unique comedy effects have to be added, how to show body language, what expressions to give, the pronunciation of lines and the effect of speed.

It's not easy to make the audience laugh naturally instead of sneering and laughing.It is even more difficult to combine sorrow and joy with tears in laughter, and to wrap ideals and life with jokes.

No matter how hard Yi Shuihan tried, he couldn't do this. He could see some shadows of Zhou Xingxing's performance from the video.

Unconsciously, he was influenced by the performance and rhythm of the original work, subconsciously imitating it.

But Zhou Xingxing's proficiency cannot be achieved, and it seems a bit blunt and deliberate. This is the biggest problem.

The more he studied, the more he wanted to act well, the more he couldn't break away from the shackles of the original work, and Yi Shuihan was troubled.

Ah Xing is the core character of this movie. If this problem cannot be solved, it may still be successful, but it is not the most perfect.

If so, Yi Shuihan would rather not make this work.

"Come again! Come again! I will definitely think of a way, I can do it!" Yi Shuihan muttered to himself while watching the video.

In the closed performance room, Yi Shuihan's voice sounded again.

"That uncle wearing glasses is so dragging, come out..."
