China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 14 He Fangyao's Acting Style
After hearing He Fang's words, several actors were stunned, the way just now, what way was it just now?I was so nervous being scolded by the director just now that I forgot the way of acting.

"Yilong, you are a student of acting. What did the director say about the way of acting? Can you explain to us? My sister is a little confused." Liu Yan, the oldest among them, is a studious person. She refuses to admit defeat but is really lacking in acting. The foundation is over.She didn't understand many professional things, although she also enrolled in classes to learn some.

Especially for returnees like He Fang, she couldn't understand the whole thing.

Zhu Yilong spread his hands, "The point is that I didn't understand it. It just wants us to relax and use more body language to match the performance. I don't know the rest."

Zhu Yilong was also very helpless, he looked at the other people with a dazed expression.

At this time, Xu Dongdong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask the director."

Several people looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Zhu Yongteng, the oldest, stood up and took the lead, and went to the director to ask for clarification. After all, it was related to their subsequent performances.

At this time, He Fang, Jiao Guoxiong and Kuang Shubo were discussing the position of the next shot in front of the monitor, and guiding the lighting and art through the monitor.

When He Fang was almost finished talking here, he looked back and saw that these actors had all come.

"Director, you just said that you want me to remember the way of acting, what exactly is this way of acting?" Zhu Yilong asked.

He Fang glanced at a few people who were very dazed, and scratched his hair, thinking about how to express it.

"Let me put it this way, because our movies have no way to hone your acting skills shot by shot, and some of them are actors with non-acting backgrounds. This will pose a very big problem. How to ensure your acting skills?" level of acting."

When He Fang mentioned this, they still didn't understand.

"Some people may find out why all the actors in Hollywood movies act so realistically, and feel that their acting skills are so good. Moreover, Hollywood movies are all shot very quickly, and there is no such thing as a single shot in China. The first time is the situation of honing acting skills. When the director on the set cannot hone his acting skills again and again, and the acting skills of the actors cannot all be the best actor, how can Hollywood explain the problem of passing the acting skills?"

"How did you solve it?" Zhu Yilong asked with great interest.

He Fang smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"It's very simple, study acting. When I was studying acting in the United States, the teacher told us that acting is the unity of expression, body movements, emotions, skills and props. That is to say, acting is not only performed by a face, but also In addition, most of our domestic performances put the performance on one face, then think about how much pressure this face has to bear? Hollywood performances spread the performances, so that when your expression When you’re not in place, your emotions are not in place, your body language makes up for your lack of expression and emotion. In this way, your performance looks qualified.”

"Wow, that's what happened. I said why in Hollywood movies, the actors are dancing and walking around. In fact, they are enriching their performances?" Zhu Yilong said in surprise.

"That's right, that's the thing. At the same time, in order to match this rich performance method, Hollywood directors generally like to use medium shots and panoramic shots that can frame the actors' physical performance. And Our domestic directors like close-up shots, and especially like to use close-ups of faces to show actors' acting skills. This puts a lot of pressure on the actors, and also makes the actors' performances constantly NG, which causes problems if the filming cycle does not meet It’s easy to make a bad movie in two or three months, and the acting skills of the actors will be broken. But Hollywood is different, they can still make good movies in 30 days, and the acting skills of the actors are also online.”

After He Fang finished speaking, several people suddenly realized that this was the case. It turned out that He Fang asked them to remember this way of acting to make up for their lack of performance.

"No wonder I see that your storyboards are all medium shots or small panoramas, with only a small proportion of close shots and close-ups." Zhu Yilong nodded.

"Okay, it's good if you understand, hurry up and move on to the next scene. Remember, you must relax, don't be afraid of making moves, as long as you make sure your moves don't block the shot. Also, Liu Yan, don't worry about your accent. To correct it on purpose, it doesn’t matter if you have an accent. But, you need to practice the rhythm of your lines, there is no cadence, no emotion in it.” He Fang pointed out.

"Okay, director, I understand, I will continue to work hard." Liu Yan nodded eagerly.

The following shooting didn't improve a lot. It can only be said that everyone has found a direction, and then everyone is working hard to correct it.

He Fang was also forced to use some Hollywood methods. After all, he only had a 25-day shooting cycle, and he didn't have that much time to train actors.

He had no choice but to use a medium panorama to increase the body movements of the actors, which can distract the audience from finding fault.

Don't think too much about low-budget movies, you will definitely sacrifice something, but as a mature director, you have to learn to cover up the shortcomings.

In fact, the director is the same as the magician, what he plays is the quickness of the hand, and what the audience sees is the quickness of the eye.The better, more realistic, exaggerated, and gorgeous the director is, the more the audience will be deceived.

Although there were many problems on the first day, the tasks on the notice sheet were still completed, so it was a smooth day.

It's just... After He Fang finished the meeting in the evening and confirmed the preparations for the next day with the photography, production, art, service and other departments.He saw Liu Yan coming to him and knocking on the door...

"Hey, Liu Yan, what's the matter?" He Fang asked.

"Uh, director, I have benefited a lot from your performance guidance today. I'm here to continue learning acting. Director, I'm a non-student, you can teach me more acting essence." Liu Yan said, rolling his eyes. flutter.

"..." He Fang was a little confused, what's the matter?

But before he could react, Liu Yan turned around and closed the door.

"Hey, why are you closing the door?"

"Isn't it because I'm worried that things outside will affect what you taught me to act, are you okay? Director?" Liu Yan asked tentatively.

"Uh..." Now He Fang completely understood.

It turned out that he named Liu Yan as having a problem with her performance today, so she was very clever thinking that He Fang was hinting that she would go to He Fang's room at night to teach her how to act...

How to explain this matter?Still don't explain?Or really teach her to act?
