I'm not just a director

Chapter 183 It's a pity that I'm a softie
Jiang Pei'an drove Zeng Li to the city.

Both of them are celebrities, but now it is not like the Internet news is flying all over the sky like later generations.

The nationality of the two is far worse than that of first-line stars.

Jiang Pei'an's fans are not small, but after all, he is doing behind-the-scenes work, so the chances of being recognized are probably not as high as Zeng Li's.

So the two of them just wore a mask to simply cover up their appearance.

"I remember Lizi, you are from Hubei Province, you should be very good at spicy food?"

Jiang Pei'an said while driving the car.

"It's okay, how about you, Director Jiang?"

"I'm from Xin'an Province, but our side is northerly.

The food is also more mixed, and any taste can be accepted. "

"Well, then let's go to the snack street in front. There is a new fish cake shop there, which is very delicious."

Zeng Li pointed to the crowded place in the street ahead and said.

"Okay, let's go over there."

Jiang Pei'an turned the steering wheel and parked on the side of the road.

"There are too many people ahead, it's hard to park, let's get off here."

"okay."

When it came to eating, Zeng Li's mood improved a lot, and even her originally cool temperament became active.

Sure enough, most girls are born foodies.

In Jiang Pei'an's understanding, fish cakes are a bit like the fish tofu he has eaten.

Probably because you can’t see the bones when eating fish, it is very delicious when used in soup, so it is also very good for cooking hot pot.

Of course, according to Zeng Li's introduction, fish cakes can be steamed and dipped in sauce, or fried.

Well, the more you describe it, the more it looks like fish tofu.

But Jiang Pei'an couldn't get used to it after just two bites.

He can accept eating fish, but he really can't eat fish tofu or fish cakes with a fishy smell.

"Well, isn't it delicious?"

Zeng Li looked at Jiang Pei'an with a bulging mouth and asked.

"Fortunately, it's the first time I eat it, and I'm not used to it."

"Well, it's all like this. Just like Zheergen, I couldn't get used to it when I ate it for the first time, but I got used to it after eating a lot."

Fold ears?

It's Houttuynia cordata!

This Jiang Pei'an is really thankful and insensitive.

There are not many customers in the small shop, and the decoration style is similar to the new Chinese style, which gives people a good sense.

Maybe it's because of the delicious food from his hometown, Zeng Li's spirit is not bad, and she is much more lively.

Jiang Pei'an changed to pasta, and said while eating:
"Lizi, I remember that you were admitted to the Huaxia Opera Academy after graduating from elementary school, and you majored in... Tsing Yi?"

Jiang Pei'an suddenly asked.

"Well, I didn't suffer less when I was studying opera, and now sometimes I dream about the beating I received back then when I sleep.

Director Jiang, how do you know that I majored in Tsing Yi? "

Zeng Li put vegetables into her small pot and asked suspiciously.

"Well, I heard from Jingjing that learning Chinese opera is really hard, especially practicing leg and waist skills."

Jiang Pei'an expressed his feelings.

The leading actors in his folk ditties came from Bangzi Opera.

There are exercises for hanging the throat, turning over and lowering the waist, flying feet, and Xuanzi every day.

And it has been like a day for decades, rain or shine.

There is a saying in the industry that "one minute on stage and ten years off stage"

As a qualified and excellent opera actor, there are extremely high basic skill requirements.

"That's right, opera actors cannot perform well on stage without strong waist and leg skills.

Even mastering the flexibility of moving around is not easy.

If you want to create an impeccable figure and posture on stage, you need good waist and leg skills. "

When it came to her major, Zeng Li seemed to open up the conversation, and she patted her waist and long legs after she finished speaking.

Jiang Pei'an followed her movements and glanced a few times.

Zeng Li's waist is very slender, and she tucked a large T-shirt into her trouser waist, which looks more visually impactful.

The waistline is almost the size of a palm, and it is no exaggeration to describe it with a full grip.

Under her feet are a pair of black leather boots with slightly high heels.

She has a good body proportion and superior leg length ratio. After wearing the leather shoes with heels, her calves have the effect of elongating, making her appear more slender, slender and powerful.

Zeng Li didn't notice Jiang Pei'an's eyes, and still talked about the hardships of learning opera at that time:
"At that time, I didn't dare to eat enough to keep my figure, and the teacher would watch me closely."

Having said that, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said:
"However, we listen to the teacher's words on the surface, but in private, we should eat and drink. There is a classmate in our dormitory who sells snacks.

At night, when everyone is hungry, they will secretly buy snacks from her, hahaha. "

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly, he never thought that Zeng Li, who looked like a quiet and obedient girl, would be so rebellious.

The two chatted while eating, Jiang Pei'an thought for a while and said:
"Lizi, let me ask you, why did you get stuck when you had a rival scene with Mr. Wang Jingsong on the set today?"

Zeng Li swallowed the fish cake in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a tissue, frowned and recalled:
"I always feel that there is an invisible pressure on Teacher Wang, and the sense of oppression is very strong.

I will subconsciously worry in my heart, worrying that my performance is not good enough, and I will pull others back. "

Hearing Zeng Li's words, Jiang Pei'an immediately thought of a word:

Was pressured.

To put it simply, it means that when acting, the actors who play the opposite role are very strong and perform very well.

However, his lack of strength or the weak plasticity of the role itself led to a decline in the presence of his role.

Leaving the audience with the impression that the acting skills are not good or the characters are not good is to be suppressed.

A specific example is "In the Name of the People".

In fact, Lu Yi, who has debuted for many years, has no problem with his performance in the play alone.

His image is in line with the role positioning, and his acting skills are flawed but not a big problem.

But when they meet a group of old actors, the audience can clearly feel the inequality.

This kind of inequality is due to the pressure given by the role itself, such as being unlikable and fake.

Also, the acting skills were unilaterally crushed.

Back to the scene between Wang Jingsong and Zeng Li in "Source Code".

Wang Jingsong himself was a monk from Ye Luzi.

His understanding of acting is the combination of his many years of drama stage experience and role roles.

If it is said that academic actors like Zeng Li receive a unified class education and templated performances.

Then Wang Jingsong's acting style is Bo Yun's treacherous, difficult to figure out.

Especially when they are playing with each other, their own powerful aura directly suppresses the opponent actors to death.

It will cause the opponent actor to forget the words, and even the psychological damage will be affected in severe cases.

In fact, Wang Jingsong didn't deliberately press the show, if he was asked to play this role in the next ten years, Zeng Li would definitely play it very comfortably.

After all, at that time, Wang Jingsong could adjust his state in time, and his acting skills could also be retracted freely.

Speaking of it, it was Zeng Li's lack of experience and acting skills that led to this result.

Movies are a 1+1 art. Only when the actors achieve each other and match each other, the movie effect will come out.

The lens can magnify and magnify all the captured things!
When acting in a rival show, if there is an obvious gap in strength between the actors of the two sides, it will not only cause pressure on the show.

It will also cause the pictures taken to be very inconsistent, so that the audience will ignore the person with a weak sense of existence!
This is why supporting roles are required not to steal the show too much.

Even sometimes when the supporting role is more eye-catching than the protagonist, this shot will be scrapped and re-shot.

After all, it is necessary to consider the audience's perception, so as not to be too fragmented and affect the viewing experience.

Jiang Pei'an looked at Zeng Li who was eating, and said slowly:
"Lizi, your biggest shortcoming is that you are easily influenced by others.

So when shooting, the only thing to do is to sink your heart and immerse yourself in the character.

Remember the performance status in "Taken"?

Think about what kind of work you did behind the scenes for that role.

Think about the state of the performance at that time, yes, grab it! "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Zeng Li slowly put down her chopsticks, and fell into memories.

What did you do for the role?
She watched a lot of video tapes at that time, and also chatted with relevant personnel.

But these are not the most important, after all, her previous scenes were all NG.

At that time, Jiang Pei'an asked her to act in a state of drunkenness.

So what role do you need to play this time?

Think back to her conversation with Wang Jingsong...

"No, Director Jiang, I can't take the role. Teacher Wang Jingsong's aura is too strong."

After trying for a while, Zeng Li shook his head helplessly and said.

Poor child, those who were "tortured" by Wang Jingsong have psychological shadows.

But it won't work like this.

"Lizi, you just skip today's filming scene. Do you still remember the last scene between you and Mr. Wang in the office?"

Jiang Pei'an asked directly.

Zeng Li was a little puzzled, but still said:
"remember."

That was the foreshadowing of her disobedience to the orders of the doctor played by Wang Jingsong and also her boss.

What this scene is about is that the protagonist played by Hu Jun successfully dismantled the bomb.

And after eliminating the hidden danger of blowing up the magic capital, the doctor who promised to let him "die" after completing these things actually changed his mind.

He wants to clear Hu Jun's memory and keep him serving in the source code.

This is definitely a kind of harm to the "half dead" Hu Jun...

"Let's simulate the scenario at that time. I am a doctor now, and you come to my office to report on your work."

"it is good."

Jiang Pei'an took out his mobile phone and put it next to his ear, pretending to be on the phone:
"Yes, believe me, if you guys give me more money, we have 8 source code projects in use."

Zeng Li walked into the office at this time.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at her, beckoned her to come in, and hung up the phone.

Jiang Pei'an excitedly said to Zeng Li:
"What an exciting time, initializing source code number 1, clearing memories!

Start by analyzing your data! "

Zeng Li's expression changed immediately, and she said:

"Doctor, we made an agreement with Yan Jun that he will be relieved."

"relief?"

Jiang Pei'an's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously:
"He saved millions of lives today, and he can prevent many more tragedies in the future.

We all know that he may be the only one who works perfectly with the system.

You said let him go, what should we do in the future? "

Looking at Jiang Pei'an's serious expression, Zeng Li suddenly thought of what he looked like when he faced Wang Jingsong today.

Although they were two completely different feelings, Jiang Pei'an's state at this time was obviously more aggressive.

"Doctor, we can re-select the experimental subjects..."

Zeng Li said with some difficulty.

"Re-select the experimental subjects? Then why do we leave the successful cases behind and choose more funds and more time-consuming stupid methods?"

Jiang Pei'an looked directly at Zeng Li, but his tone was aggressive and cold.

Such a strong sense of oppression made Zeng Li feel that it was difficult for her to breathe.

"But……"

She couldn't take it anymore.

Jiang Pei'an didn't give her a chance to breathe, and continued:
"Clear his memory and reset the source code, is that okay?"

"it is good……"

"Crack!"

Zeng Li leaned against the back of the chair like a collapsed person.

Seeing her state, Jiang Pei'an frowned and said:

"Lizi, your rhythm is all messed up, and I have been leading you away, especially the last paragraph."

"Director Jiang, I can't do it anymore, I feel that you are scarier than Teacher Wang Jingsong!"

Zeng Li waved his hands weakly.

"Because this scene itself is the highlight of the character image of the doctor, so he has a breaking point.

And if you don't, then you will be overwhelmed by your opponent, and the audience will not see your brilliant points. "

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"But, I'm already a subordinate, do I still have to talk back to him?"

Zeng Li was puzzled.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"The breaking point is not who has the loudest voice, or who has the largest range of movements, but that you have to have an eye-catching performance.

This is probably what we mean by the explosion of acting skills. "

"Then how can it catch the audience's eyes!"

Looking at her favorite fish cake in front of her, Zeng Li had no desire to continue eating at all.

What a waste.

"It's very simple, this scene is the 9th time the male protagonist returns to the source code.

From the first time, you are communicating with the protagonist, and you can see his strength and weakness.

As a result, your emotions are constantly changing. Unlike the doctor, you attach great importance to the agreement with him.

So, when the doctor ordered you to reset the hero's memory, although you agreed, you didn't agree with it in your heart.

I even feel disgusted by the doctor's dishonesty and use of the hero.

So you promised him to reset his memory, which is contradictory, or you have the idea of ​​obedience and injustice in your heart.

This is also one of the reasons why you intend to directly 'execute' the male lead and let him go free in the ending, the result of the progression layer by layer. "

Jiang Pei'an said a lot, and Zeng Li's eyes also changed from bewildered to enlightened.

"You can bring in the rebellious mood that when you were studying drama, the teacher didn't let you eat more, but you secretly bought snacks at night."

Jiang Pei'an finally reminded.

"I understand!"

Zeng Li suddenly realized.

"It's good to understand, if you can handle this scene well, the previous ones will not be a problem, remember your state when you played against me.

Teacher Wang Jingsong is also a human being, so he can't be more powerful and terrifying than my performance today.

As long as you catch him in the first scene, everything after that will be fine. "

Jiang Pei'an drank a glass of water and said relaxedly.

"Well, thank you Director Jiang."

Zeng Li said gratefully.

"Okay, go to checkout, today is your treat."

"I will handle it!"

……

After the two checked out and left, the boss who had been listening to the conversation between the two smacked his lips.

"It's really eye-opening to be able to pick up girls like this."

"Unfortunately, he's a softie..."
