Chapter 49 Acting Skill Improvement
Zhang Nan has long known that he is of yellow race, an outsider among outsiders in Hollywood.

It is basically impossible to show superhuman acting skills and win various Oscar awards by starring in literary films.

Don't you see, it's their own little Li, who made his debut because of idols, and then because of the commercial film "Titanic", he was embarrassed by Oscar in every possible way.

For Xiao Lizi to be a film star, it can be said that he has become an old plum from a young plum, and finally his dream has come true.

So Zhang Nan didn't intend to suffer this, and set his sights on commercial films from the very beginning.

Compared with whether a literary film wins an award or not, it all depends on the feelings of a small group of judges, and it is too much affected by personal prejudice.

As for commercial films full of capital-driven profit-seeking attributes, it is very true that they only focus on box office results.

There are not so many prejudices and sophistication in it, the one who can make money is the uncle.

In addition, Zhang Nan's golden finger is still a box office appeal. As long as it is used properly, Zhang Nan's position in commercial films will be unbreakable, which further strengthens Zhang Nan's idea of ​​only being a big director and superstar of commercial films.

So in terms of acting skills, Zhang Nan's initial plan was to live with the situation.

After all, if you are mainly shooting commercial films, you just need to have enough acting skills.

And since his rebirth, Zhang Nan really didn't have a good chance to learn acting skills.

In school, he audited many acting courses.

But the courses in the university, if you know everything you know, they are all for fooling people. There is a generation gap between the knowledge inside and the outside knowledge.

After his debut, Zhang Nan's first movie was "Jingcheng Wuguan".

Although there are many stars with good acting skills, such as Jiang Wen and others.

All the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are also veteran artists, and they must have some insights in acting skills.

But Zhang Nan is both a director and a starring role, so many people dare not talk about acting with Zhang Nan.

In many cases, it is Zhang Nan himself who makes demands on himself, and the improvement of acting skills can be imagined. It can't be said that it has improved by leaps and bounds, or it can be said that it is almost equal to nothing.

Later, Zhang Nan also met a group of big directors who have insights into actors' acting skills, such as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Roland Emmerich, and Luc Besson.

But this vote of big directors is currently mixed in commercial films.

Zhang Nan was asked to shoot commercial films, not only did not have high requirements for acting skills, but they also treated him as a director one by one.

He turned a blind eye to Zhang Nan's acting skills, thinking that he was qualified, and there were no strict requirements.

Among the actors Zhang Nan met, the relationship was relatively good, that is, Will Smith and Xiao Lizi.

The former Will Smith, hip-hop can be regarded as a professional background to a certain extent, after all, he is black, a natural hip-hop seed.

But in terms of acting skills, Will Smith is the same as Zhang Nan, he is a wild way, acting depends on talent, there is no way to teach Zhang Nan.

The latter's little plum is not as good as Will Smith now.

Especially since he was born as an idol, there is still a long way to go before he can transform into the later actor Lao Lizi.

Now Xiao Lizi earns a living in Hollywood with only one face, and when he is turning pale from soaking in the swimming pool, he still thinks of Zhang Nan to guide his acting skills.

It can be said that Zhang Nan has never met anyone who can improve his acting skills all the way.

Originally, Zhang Nan was still thinking, anyway, he would not take the award-winning route, and he still had a golden finger in his hand to escort the movie's box office, and he was not in a hurry to improve his acting skills.

Even if sometimes the acting skills are not in place, just take a few more shots.

After all, performing this kind of thing, although it depends on talent, it also pays attention to practice makes perfect.

Are those outstanding supporting roles in Zhou Xinchi's movies really the best actors?

But it’s not enough to do it once, it’s just a few more times, it’s just a waste of time and energy.

only……

Zhang Nan never imagined that he would compete with Nicolas Cage, the new generation actor, in "Face Changing".

And repeated reshoots are indeed too exhausting.

Now that Nicolas Cage said he wanted to teach Zhang Nan acting skills, Zhang Nan really couldn't ask for it.

During this period of time, Zhang Nan had had enough of repeated reshoots.

"Don't talk about giving opinions, Cage, just teach me acting skills. I was really tortured by repeated reshoots." Zhang Nan agreed frankly.

Therefore, Zhang Nan started a section in the crew of "Changing Faces", accepting the guidance of the director Wu Baige during filming, and accepting the guidance of actor Nicolas Cage during the break.

There is progress, and it is rapid.

But... I want to improve my acting skills to the level of Nicolas Cage in a movie, I still think too much.

However, Zhang Nan is already very satisfied with this change in his acting skills.

The free actor acting training class is used, and if you are not satisfied with the cheapness, then it is a bit too much.

Even filming and rest are honing his acting skills, and the tight schedule makes Zhang Nan feel a little tired.

But it was still within Zhang Nan's acceptance range.

After all, human beings can’t want, want, and want.

If you want to make money while working and improve your professional skills, it is normal to be tired.

But Nicolas Cage was a little bit blind.

During this period of getting along, not only was Nicolas Cage teaching Zhang Nan acting skills, but Zhang Nan saw that Nicolas Cage wanted to be a director.

The way to act well is to direct, which is the same around the world, so Zhang Nan also imparted some director experience to Nicolas Cage.

The relationship between the two got better in this process of teaching each other.

If you want to make a ranking list of Zhang Nan's current friendship with Hollywood superstars.

So the current Nicolas Cage has surpassed Xiao Li, just below Will Smith.

So in the gap between Zhang Nan's repeated reshoots again.

Out of concern for his good friend, Nicolas Cage suggested in a low voice: "Why don't I play some roles later? If I show similar acting skills to yours, it won't affect the quality of the movie too much. What did you say?" , commercial film acting skills are enough.”

Nicolas Cage's words are just an excuse, the main reason is to take care of his good friend Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan was surprised when he heard the words, and quickly waved his hands, "Farewell, Cage, you can play as you want, you can play it as you please, and Lao Wu will definitely be able to see it after a while. In the end, you have to know that it is because of me. The reason, he has to spray me to death."

For Wu Baige, Zhang Nan didn't like it very much. After all, when this guy made "Red Cliff" in the future, not only was the movie bad, but he also discriminated against mainland artists.

Zhang Nan accepted the film contract of "Face Changing" because he had to do it.

After all, everyone sent film appointments to the door to find cooperation, so he had to sell his face anyway, and he had to be punished without teaching, and he didn't have any film contracts at the time. In the end, starring in "Face Changing" was to take advantage of Wu Baige. It was to help Wu Baige.
