I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 87 085. Just a wild way
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan is here~~"

With this sound, Jay Chou re-entered the arena.

But this time, Gong Li's attitude was much more casual.

I can't say it's bad, I can only say it's worse than before.

But it's nothing, because the good time she did just now was also recorded in the camera.It just needs to be edited when the time comes, because both of them gave different close-up shots.

"Go back."

Following Gong Li's words, the bead curtain was pulled down again.

Then, the camera re-entered the scene, and after aiming at the two people according to the original position, as expected, after Jay Chou heard the sound of "start", he first looked to the right and then to the left.

He seemed to be attracted by the voice, and then revealed a kind of tentative curiosity:
"Mother?"

This time it's an interrogative sentence.

Listening to the voice in the earphones, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Although that curiosity...is not qualified for him, at least he is on the right track.

And Zhang Yimou also nodded slightly.

Because I have already taken close-ups through the curtain before, so I don’t need to stop now, and continue to shoot.

"I have taken your father's medicine for more than ten years, and she suddenly changed the prescription these days."

Gong Li spoke while Jay Chou stood and listened.

After the other party pushed the book over, he picked it up directly.

Watch, tremble.

"The queen mother fell ill yesterday, is it because of it?"

"..."

"Father...cough cough...sorry sorry..."

When seeing Gong Li nodding, Jay Chou subconsciously used the body language of looking around, but suddenly coughed, causing the filming to temporarily stop.

Xu Xin frowned again.

Didn't I tell you that you are building an image for the audience...why are you suddenly acting up again?

At this time, Zhang Yimou suddenly turned his head and said:

"You're talking to him."

"……what?"

Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, but nodded immediately:

"Eh, good."

While getting up and walking towards Jay Chou, he was a little surprised.

Director Zhang saw himself just now?
Thinking, he walked up to Jay Chou, and Gong Li, who was sitting still on the chair, also looked over.

"Teacher Gong."

Xu Xin greeted him politely, and then said to Jay Chou under Gong Li's interested eyes:

"Don't keep trying to express your emotions with your eyes... Didn't I tell you just now, through the body, to promote the expression. Look, after the queen mother told you about the aconitum, you should first do It's anger. Not surprise. Because that's... you put your emotions in, if someone really wants to kill someone you cherish, would you think about other things? Don't you pick up the knife first? What's more, it's your mother! "

"..."

Jay Chou was speechless.

I always feel that this is cursing.

Then I heard Xu Xin continue to say:

"So, don't use your eyes to act, you can't express it like that. Didn't you just start to tremble with anger? Then use this trembling to ask directly. Don't look at your eyes, look directly at your mother, understand ?Look directly, ask questions, you don’t need to look around, you can try to change your tone... Look here.”

He pointed to the script in his hand:
"After you ask: The queen mother fell ill yesterday because of it? And the queen nodded here. The moment you saw her nodding, turn this anger into an emotion that can't wait to find out the truth, and ask questions quickly. Why do you have to hurry?" ?Because you are anxious, you are worried about her, understand? You are worried about your mother first, and then you will think about why the father and king did this. So...the queen nodded when she saw the mother, and asked directly, understand? Don't hesitate, don't have anything Think about it, as a son of man, you care about your mother, this will allow the audience to create an image of you as a dutiful son, understand?"

"Uh……"

To be honest, when Jay Chou saw Xu Xin coming over, his first reaction was "Why are you here again", but after hearing this, before he was sure what the other person said was right, he suddenly heard Gong Lilai who was sitting on the stool. said a sentence:
"You can try following Xiao Xu's method. I can save you a beat this time."

"?"

Jay Chou subconsciously looked at Gong Li:
"beat?"

"Yes, I answer you. After speaking, you speak directly, and the tone is faster. Xiao Xu, is that what you mean?"

When she turned her head to look at Xu Xin, her tone of voice was smiling.

Xu Xin nodded:
"That's right... Anyway, try it, I think it will be better to deal with it this way, okay?"

Nodding to Jay Chou, Xu Xin opened the curtain first and walked out.

Just sitting on the chair, Liu Guonan, whose gaze had been on Xu Xin for some reason, paused for a while before saying:

"Then let's do it again..."

……

"The queen mother fell ill yesterday, is it because of it?"

Looking at the worried Prince Jie, the queen nodded slightly, and replied softly:

"Ah."

Before the words fell, a hurried question came from the close-up:

"Why did the emperor do this!"

After he was impatient and asked oppressive questions, the queen seemed to be hesitating.

Hesitating whether to tell him or not.

All of a sudden, this impatience was blocked, and it was removed silently, replaced by an unhurried tone:

"Yuan Jie."

Calling out her son's name, she stood up.

It was still the entanglement, the hatred and the desolation, but facing her son, she chose the most peaceful tone:
"After the Double Ninth Festival, I will tell you everything."

Yuan Jie is in a hurry, but the queen is slow.

The faster he is, the slower she is.

And amidst this haste and relaxation, Zhang Yimou nodded.

Ok.

It tastes right.

It's just that the acting skills are still too bad...but at least it's on the right track.

……

"Every day, in front of your father..."

In the close-up shot in the middle of the screen, Dahong and Dajin, with their dignified and ironic faces, the queen played by Gong Li said to Prince Jie with her back:

"I'm going to pretend I don't know."

"..."

"Every hour, I have to drink these poisons calmly."

Irony turned into self-mockery.

"I will die the way your father wants."

"..."

"...But I don't want to die like this!"

Self-deprecating, in this sentence, became a kind of determination.

Camera switch.

She turned around and sat down again.

After she was seated, she seemed to have transformed from the woman murdered by her husband into the queen of the mother world.

With that dignity, she said:

"Chongyang Night, I want to end all of this..."

……

Oh shit.

Great acting!
His gaze was fixed on Gong Li's face on the monitor.

Xu Xin began to curse in his heart.

Can't help cursing.

Because he couldn't find a more appropriate word to describe Gong Li in front of him.

is really good.

The acting is really good.

The handling of various emotions, the display of the basic skills of the lines, and the unobtrusive and natural expression of emotion from the lines to the emotions...

He looked shocked from the soul.

At this moment, beauty and ugliness are actually not important anymore.

What's important is that in his heart, it doesn't matter who Gong Li and the queen are, and who plays who.

He didn't know how good Gong Li was now.

I really can't figure it out, can't see it.

But the role of the queen can already make people ignore the actor and immerse themselves in it naturally.

Just this level...

Gong Li really deserves to be one of the most accomplished actresses in the Chinese film industry.

What a fucking increase in knowledge!
Staring fixedly at the queen in the picture, Xu Xin sighed and praised.

pity……

While listening to the dialogue between the two people's lines in the earphones, while he praised each other's acting skills, there was always a kind of regret spreading in his heart.

Jay Chou's play, no matter how it is said, was completely blown up.

There is no doubt about this.

Even if I have myself helping to sort it out, the gap lies there...

Gong Li is like a Ferrari, go fast if you want to go fast, and go slow if you want to go slow.Regardless of whether he helps Jay Chou or not, he is just a bicycle at best.

No matter how fast you go, you can't catch up.But when I wanted to slow down, I suddenly found that the gate line was cut by some grandson...

It's a pity...

By the way, who is suitable for this role?
Chen Kun?

it should be OK.

But the age seems to be out of line with Prince Jie.

Zhou Jie?

It's not very good, he always likes to growl when filming, and he can see it when he returns the princess.

Who else?

His thoughts went astray subconsciously, until he heard a sound:
"Xiao Xu, help him sort it out again. Seeing that Gong Li was in a bad mood when he was drinking the medicine."

"Oh well."

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Xu Xin nodded, got up and walked over.

The plot at this time is that Gong Li decided to force the emperor to abdicate, but Prince Jie dared not, thinking that it was his father after all.And at this time, it happened to catch up with Shen Shi, and it was time for the queen to drink the medicine.

The plot of Shen Shi had already been filmed in the morning, and at this moment, the maid who was supposed to serve the medicine came in to deliver the medicine.

Prince Jie watched his mother drink the bowl of poison, his anger overcame his reason, and he said that he wanted to help his mother.

But Jay Chou was in the wrong mood.

Xu Xin, who had lost his mind, quickly regained his senses and walked into the curtain.

In the end, I saw the palace lady holding the medicine at a glance, it was that... what was it called?

Oh yes, that girl from Zhao Liying.

At this moment, she was standing with several maids in the court, and she kept looking at herself.

Xu Xin didn't say anything.

Instead, he walked up to Jay Chou.

But Gong Li suddenly said with great interest:

"Xiao Xu, what are you going to do?"

"..."

Xu Xin felt a bad taste from her smile again.

Good guy, just now your old man was still in tears.

Changing face can be really fast.

While thinking, he said to Jay Chou:

"How long can you hold your breath?"

"...not sure, but I have good lung capacity."

Jay Chou was right.

How can a singer's lung capacity be bad?

He nodded:

"You just hold your breath, and then twist your arms. Keep your expression calm... Our teacher in the theory class taught us to express anger. This is one of the tips, try it..."

"Hold your breath? Twist your arms?...Are you sure?"

When Jay Chou heard this, his face was a little absurd.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"..."

Xu Xin shrugged:

"To make you hold your breath is to make your face, especially these two pieces."

He pointed to his temple:

"Let these two blood vessels bulge up, the same reason, and the blue veins on the neck. When a person is holding his breath to the limit, his body will tremble. You can grit your teeth at that time, but don't open your mouth. Grit the back molars It will also make your temples bulge. Adding the pain of holding your breath is the most superficial technique for expressing anger. Try it and you will know~”

In terms of film and television theory and performing arts theory, the teacher will talk about these skills.

Coincidentally, Xu Sanjin, who had changed his mind from Sina Zi, listened more seriously than anyone else.

In fact, he can also see that the difficulty of Jay Chou's acting skills is not that he likes to express some emotions with his eyes like many novices.

It is true that eyes are an important part of acting.

But as he said just now, acting skills should first be promoted by emotions, facial expressions or body language, so as to be shown to the audience.

It's not that when you come up, your eyes flutter for a while.

Talk home.

The eyes can't speak, no matter how you try to show a certain acting skill, it's nothing more than blinking, squinting, staring, or turning your eyes around.

With these few physical movements, expressing everything just by controlling the eyes is the easiest misunderstanding for new actors to fall into.

After all, there is only one Liang Chaowei.

The same is true for Jay Chou, but his biggest shortcoming is not this, but his lack of theoretical knowledge.

Yang Mi's so-called "template flow", that is, the Stanislav system, requires actors to record all the emotions in life at all times, because these emotions are real and can be felt.

Record these emotions in your heart, and when needed, you can directly use them to generate empathy.

That is the so-called method school.

Let's not say whether this girl has learned wrongly, but at least at least she is on the right path.

It's not a wild way.

But Jay Chou’s acting skills... Not to mention whether Zhang Yimou can see it, even Xu Xin can see it at a glance. He is definitely not from any orthodox major, at most he has only attended acting classes...or "acting tutoring" .

He lacks expressive tension.

It can even be said that his cognition of acting skills only exists in "making expressions".

If no one talks to him about the theory, then he will never understand why "emotion" occupies such an important position in acting.

A good actor must empathize with the audience from the inside out.

Don't care about the protagonist and supporting roles, the villain or the decent, you have to act like whatever you play.

But he is not.

If I'm angry, I'll stare.

If I want to be sad, then I will stare.

If you want to be happy... eh~ then I'll squint my eyes!
My eyes are small anyway...

These things are performances, not acting.

He doesn't know how to act at all.

It was precisely because Xu Xin understood this that he was asked to use some acting skills to fill the emptiness in this area.

Their main job is singing.

It is simply unrealistic to demand him with the requirement of a traditional academic background.

Therefore, what Xu Xin can do to help him is to help him sort out the context of the characters, and then tell him some skills that he can use naturally even though he also learned from the teacher.

Don't even think about acting with Gong Libiao.

But at least...to be able to keep up, instead of making the audience want to fast forward when they see him, this is already the limit of what Xu Xin can do.

But that's the case, what he taught Jay Chou is enough for him to benefit from.

Because of what?
Because these are what the teacher taught him.

And what the teacher chooses to teach the students must be the precious knowledge summed up bit by bit through the tempering of the predecessors.

Therefore, it must be right to go this way.

After explaining these skills, leave the other party some time to think.

He walked back to the chair behind Zhang Yimou...

Suddenly want to go back to school for no reason.

If I know more things, can I teach better?
he thought.

Then I thought about it, and suddenly thought of something.

Before he had time to ask Teacher Yu what he told the school.

leave school?Or leave?
The Olympics are still more than two years away.

If it's a leave of absence...it seems like I'll graduate after the Olympics is over?

But the problem is...

Haven't learned anything yet!
But if it's not a leave of absence, but a suspension of school, then after more than two years of busy work, wouldn't he go back to freshman year again?

Stop it.

Our old Xu doesn't want to lose face?
The classmates in the same batch as me are about to graduate, but they meet me in the freshman year?

Then what will we old Xu do in the future?

Looking at the monitor, the trembling Prince Jie was so angry that his veins bulged because he watched his mother drink the bowl of poison...

he thought to himself.

……

In one afternoon, counting according to the script, a total of four scenes were filmed.

In fact, many laymen don't understand why it is so slow to shoot when it's just a scene-by-scene transition.But that's the reality, the actors make mistakes, the director is not satisfied, the set takes time... not to mention the big scene scheduling behind it.

As for the four scenes filmed this afternoon, Xu Xin reckoned that at most five or six minutes of drama was the most.

But it's not over yet, because there are night shows at night.

The play in the afternoon was over, and the sky became a little cooler because of the time.

But the filming of the movie doesn't mean Xu Xin can rest.

Together with Zhang Yimou and the Olympic creative team, he came to the tent filled with essential oils.

The big guy came out of the tent from the meeting until the meal.

Xu Xin glanced at the phone:
"I'm done shooting! Oh hoo!"

"Hey, Teacher Yu taught me a trick."

"Young man, have you ever seen what is called half-step Bengquan?"

"Hey, let me tell you... my treatment today is really different, do you know? Really, the gap... is too big. The one that killed me a few days ago, today Apologize to me specially!"

"Teacher Xu~ Are you done with your work?"

"Director Xu~ Remember to tell me when you're done~ Come back and I'll let you try my half-step Bengquan!"

"Oh! I'm off work! I'm in the car, go back and read Jiang Chan's script."

"Speak to me when you get back."

"Half-step Bengquan, oh ho!"

This melon girl...

Looking at these inexplicable text messages, Xu Xin shook his head amusedly.

As a result, a sound suddenly appeared next to it:
"Chat with Xiao Yang?"

"Oh fuck me!"

Xu Xin was terrified immediately, and quickly took a step back.

Wei Lanfang was also taken aback by his big reaction.

"Miss Wei, are you going to scare me to death?"

Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry, and Wei Lanfang was even more speechless:
"I thought you were going to scare me to death!"

"...No, why?"

As he was talking, he suddenly realized that Ma Wen, who had something wrong with her eyes during the meeting just now, was also looking at him.

And upon hearing this, Wei Lanfang said maliciously:

"What are you talking about?... Let me ask you, did you chat with Jay Chou this afternoon!"

"...Have you two installed monitors in the crew?"

Xu Xin was speechless.

"Come on this."

Ma Wen, who has been wearing a peaked cap since the afternoon, directly put on a malicious look, smiling on the surface:
"Xiao Xu, sister usually treats you well, right?"

"...Sister Ma, let's have a meal first, okay? I've been tossing around all afternoon, can I have a full meal before I kill my head?"

"sure……"

Ma Wen nodded generously, but her fingers pointed in a very subtle direction:
"Hey, look who that is."

Looking in the direction she pointed, Xu Xin saw at a glance that unlucky Jay Chou was sitting in front of his RV cooking rice.

Look at your unlucky look!

Why don't you eat it in the car!
Xu Xin rolled his eyes angrily:
"Just tell me why..."

Then the sister took off the hat she was wearing on her head.

"Little Xu~~~~"

"...How about you, Miss Wei?"

Reluctantly taking the hat, he turned to look at Wei Lanfang.

After receiving it, Wei Lanfang took out a notepad that he knew was newly bought from his bag.

The notepad is quite girly, with a colorful cartoon cover.

"My requirements are low, Xiao Xu, Wei Tingting, that Ting from the women's booth——Wei Tingting, I hope you study hard, come on!"

"Is this too low to ask!?"

Xu Xin was speechless when he heard the blessings coming up.

Wei Lanfang chuckled:
"Hey, hurry up, I'll treat you to a barbecue when I go back tonight, okay?"

"...Then you two help me make a meal."

"Okay, hurry up~"

"Remember to write the name correctly!"

Hearing the urging of the two, Xu Xin nodded helplessly:

"understood."

Holding a hat and this colorful cartoon notebook, Xu Xin walked directly towards Jay Chou.

When he was about to reach the place, Jay Chou looked up and saw him.

He didn't eat anymore, but called Dani in the car:
"Danny, bring out your drink."

After shouting, Jay Chou, who still had makeup on his face, said with a smile:

"Hey, let's eat together? I have sausages from Wanwan Province~"

"Why don't you eat with the big guys?"

Walking up to him, Xu Xin asked.

But as soon as the words fell, the door opened.

On the commercial vehicle next to the RV, the security personnel who stopped him at the entrance of the hotel all got out of the vehicle.

"..."

Jay Chou frowned and shrugged at Xu Xin again.

The answer is self-evident.

At this time, Dani also appeared at the door of the RV with a bottle of drink.

After seeing Xu Xin, she hurriedly said:
"I'll get it again."

"Don't, don't take it."

Looking at Jay Chou who looked apologetic, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Sign your name, sign your hat, and the notebook is a girl named Wei Tingting, the Ting next to the word "female", sign a blessing saying that I hope you study hard."

With that said, he handed over both the hat and the notebook.

"no problem."

Jay Chou agreed very happily:
"Dani, get a pen."

"Oh!"

There was a sound inside.

Then, after the chubby girl came out with a pen and a drink, she glanced at the security guards and said:

"Teacher Xu is the director, what are you guys doing?!"

As she spoke, she stopped directly in front of those people.

It is completely different from the previous attitude.

Jay Chou didn't say a word, first signed the peaked cap, then opened the title page of the notebook, looked up to confirm:
"Which WEI?"

"Wei Yi smiled."

"Oh~"

Shua Shua Shua wrote down a sentence of congratulations, signed his own signature, and handed it to Xu Xin.

Xu Xin nodded:
"Thanks... By the way, there is still your show tonight, right?"

"Well... I will talk to you about the script later?... They are here, and I am also very annoying."

He chose to speak out.

It doesn't matter whether those security guards sound good or not.

Xu Xin also agreed very happily:
"Okay, I'll see you after dinner, I'll give someone else's autograph first... that's right."

"what?"

"The sister in our team bought a hundred copies of your "Chopin in November", so... I have to find you in a few days."

"..."

Helplessly, Xu Xin saw the twitching corner of his mouth.

Ha ha a smile:
"Haha, let's go."

Waving his hand, he took his hat and notepad and walked towards the bento master.

And after walking a distance, turn around.

The security guards had already returned to the car.
