Chapter 25: Bad Movies (for further reading)

Ning Hao is from Jin Province, with a bit of a quack air. A few years ago, an incense made him famous in the movie circle.

In May of this year, he took his second work Green Grassland to Hong Kong Island to participate in the film festival, during which he met Yu Weiguo.

Yu Weiguo is a native of Hong Kong Island, director and producer.

This person co-founded Tianmu Production Company with Hua Tsai in the early years, and this year he co-planned the Asian Rising Star Director Film Project.

He found Ning Hao and said that he could invest 500 million yuan without interfering with his creation, with no restrictions on themes, no requests, and whatever he wanted to shoot.

Although Ning Hao is famous, he has no money.

After some persuasion from the other party, he participated in the Nova Project.

At first, Ning Hao thought he was very lucky, that was a full 500 million, more than enough to make a low-budget movie.

But when it came time to start the filming, Andy informed him that he was short of cash and could only provide 300 million.

Ning Hao had no choice but to shoot the bow without turning back, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

What to do if the budget is not enough, cheating, one can fool one is one.

From the investment of this drama to the establishment of the crew, and then to the casting of the actors, the investors fooled the director, and the director fooled the actors.

At the end of October, the crew is about to start, but the most important leading actor has not been found yet!
When he was at a loss, someone recommended to Ning Hao the well-known actor Guo Ji at that time, so he took Huang Bo back to the capital, thinking about asking him out for a talk.

Coincidentally, the place where we made the appointment was Peony Garden.

Inside the box, there is smoke.

Huang Bo's hair was slightly long and slightly curly. He stood by the window, holding a cigarette, watching the hazy night, taking a puff from time to time.

Ning Hao Dama Jindao sat on the sofa, scratching the green skin on his head: "Why hasn't Guo Qi come here yet, can't he regret it?"

Huang Bo turned around, just in time a gust of wind came in from the window, blowing his curly hair, the picture was extremely beautiful.

He shook his hair: "Maybe it's a traffic jam, and it didn't happen for a while when we came."

Ning Hao's eyes lit up, he put down the wine glass he just picked up, and said excitedly: "Don't move, just the hair-swinging movement, it must be added in the movie!"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at the side, what kind of aesthetics does this person have, is the threshold for film directors so low now?

Huang Bo threw away the cigarette butt, and said with a smile, "I can see it, how ugly it is, but the director, if this movie becomes popular, what will happen to my own image, who will ask me to speak for it in the future."

Ning Hao twisted his neck: "Don't think too much, I'll be satisfied if we can make back our lineup!"

Lu Yuan listened in a cloud of mist, and roughly understood that this is a low-cost movie, and it is difficult to pay for it if you can't afford big names.

Well, bad movie!

Huang Bo glanced at Lu Yuan: "Director, what do you think of my brother playing Xie Xiaomeng?"

Ning Hao got up, walked around Lu Yuan several times, and shook his head while turning: "No, it's not like, the temperament is completely wrong!"

Lu Yuan wondered in his heart, what would not happen, what would not look like, you should give me a chance.

Huang Bo didn't say much anymore, he was actually just a newcomer, and he had done his best to mention it.

Ning Hao went on to say: "I'm telling the truth, he's so fucking handsome, it doesn't fit the overall image in the script!"

Lu Yuan: "."

You ugly bastard is jealous, it must be like this!
What kind of rotten scripts, the young master is not uncommon, all of them are so rotten that the audience is willing to watch them.

Alas, it's just a pain for my brother.

The streamer is easy to throw people away, the cherries are red, and the plantains are green.

Ning Hao did not choose Lu Yuan in the end.

Good looks are born, handsome people can pretend to be ugly, let the ugly try to pretend to be handsome.

Even though he thought so, Lu Yuan was always a little upset in his heart, the feeling of being picked and picked by others was very bad.

After returning to campus, college life became monotonous again, and Lu Yuan began to reflect on and summarize the experience of the crew during this period.

He always believes that reading thousands of books without reflection is a reader, and traveling thousands of miles without reflection is a postman.

Acting is actually a very mysterious concept.

The real good acting is to let the audience not feel the traces of the performance.

When the crew and powerful actors played against each other, he found that he still had many problems in performance.

Especially the lines and the outburst and control of emotions.

Leaving aside the lines, it is a matter of basic skills.

In terms of emotions, a good actor can move freely, no more, no less, just right, pay attention to a degree of relaxation, and lift weights lightly.

In film and television dramas, crying scenes are often the easiest to expose an actor's control over emotions.

A good crying scene has a smooth transition from emotional brewing to outburst, with distinct layers, giving the audience the illusion that it's not the actors who are crying, but the characters.

When the actors' tears and cries are discarded, if only looking at the expressions still makes the audience feel sad, then it can be called a good crying scene.

From Bao Guoan, Chen Baoguo and others, Lu Yuan saw what real acting skills are.

It is a kind of nature, it is a kind of do whatever you want, it is a kind of absolute control.

You can freely make the required facial expressions and movements, and you can precisely mobilize those facial muscles that express sadness.

They can even accurately control the trembling of fear in the vocal cords, without the need for exaggerated movements such as covering their faces and jumping.

These are things that Lu Yuan dare not imagine at the moment. It is one thing to know the theory, but another to be able to use it freely in practice.

He still has a long way to go.

The debate between the major performance factions in the Academy has a long history.

Experience school, method school, expression school.

The three are actually quite distinct.

Also playing a homosexual.

The experiential school requires that actors must truly become a homosexual person from the inside out, and truly fall in love with each other.

The method school is different, you can think of the other party as a woman instead.

The expressionist, on the other hand, designed the character of homosexuality in advance through observation and summary, and did not mix any emotions during the shooting.

However, Lu Yuan felt that the three are also performance methods, and whichever is suitable should be used. Why bother to make a clear distinction?

Everything in the world is relative, there is no absolute boundary, eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay, eating sugar in moderation can make people feel comfortable, and there are entangled grays between black and white.

Lu Yuan is a pragmatist. He will not be polite when he can use the method to be lazy, and he will not object when he needs to use the experience to substitute, depending on the needs of the role.

During this period of filming, he accumulated a lot of problems, so after returning to school, he began to ask teachers frequently.

The problem is getting deeper and deeper, from the outburst and control of emotions, the empathy of actors, and finally to the level of performance.

Slowly, the teacher began to avoid him intentionally.

Just after class that day, Lu Yuan followed Teacher Wang Jinsong all the way with his notebook as usual.

Wang Jinsong knew that someone was following him, and after running a few steps out of breath, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Lu Yuan, how is your wire hanging?"

"Mr. Wang, it's hard to say about other aspects, but the students in Wia are fine, what's the matter?"

While talking, Lu Yuan was about to open the notebook in his hand.

Wang Jinsong asked quickly, "Have you filmed an MV?"

Lu Yuan shook his head: "The student is still a newcomer, how can I have the opportunity to get in touch with these things."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

After speaking, he took out a business card.

Seeing Lu Yuan's puzzled face, he explained: "Wuliangye is currently shooting a promotional video for its sub-brand Wuliangchun. The heroine is Huang Shengyi, and there is still a lack of a leading actor. Your senior sister is looking for someone from the school. Go and try it!"

Huang Shengyi, who played a dumb girl in Kung Fu last year, didn't have many roles and didn't have a single line, but as soon as he appeared on the stage, he was amazed that winter and became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people.

Of course, Lu Yuan also heard about her falling out with Zhou Xinchi some time ago.

Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected harvest, and he quickly bowed to thank him.

Wang Jinsong nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Yuan trotted two steps after him.

"Mr. Wang, the students still have some questions about emotional outburst and control."

Wang Jinsong: "."

You kid doesn't eat oil and salt, right?
