Chapter 654 Problem Solving Ideas and Small Methods [Two in One]

ps: We are proofreading typos, please read again later. The following is the text:
The crew took a day off, mainly to give the heroine Liu Yifei a chance to adjust her condition.

She can take a break, but director Sun Yi cannot. He needs to organize the shooting materials of the second half of the film and then send them to the editing center.

So, on this morning, Sun Yi went to the company as usual.

After Liu Yifei got up early to see Sun Yi off, she went back to sleep in a daze. She slowly woke up when the sun was shining on her butt.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to run to the mirror, put my face close to it, and look at myself carefully.

Fortunately, the swelling in my eyes has mostly subsided, and you can’t see it unless you look closely.

"Whoo~"

Liu Yifei let out a breath and felt a little relieved.

But the next second, she pouted in the mirror, looking worried.

"Liu Qianqian, you are the winner of the Hundred Flowers Awards, how can you be stumped by a scene?"

"Really? How stupid!"

Liu Yifei complained to herself in the mirror for a long time, but it was of no use and the problem was still not solved.

She scratched her hair in frustration, and threw herself back onto the bed with a "ah".

Face down, the whole body formed a "big" character. After being silent for a while, it suddenly jumped up and trotted into the cloakroom.

Half an hour later, a red car disappeared at the main entrance of the park with a "boom".

"What's wrong with this big star? Why is he so anxious today?"

The new security guard at the door asked his companion beside him.

"Director Sun isn't here, right? Hey, you'll get used to it slowly. She drives like this whenever Director Sun isn't here."

"."

Beijing Film Academy.

It was lunch time, and Liu Yifei, wearing a camouflage three-piece suit of sunglasses, mask, and baseball cap, gently knocked on the door of Cui Xinqin's office, a teacher in the Department of Performance.

Just now when she was at home, the solution she thought of was to go back to school to see the teacher.

Before the filming of the movie started, Sun Yi took her back to training and taught her "blind acting" with teacher Cui Xinqin. She felt she benefited a lot. When she encountered difficulties this time, the first person she thought of was Teacher Cui.

"Xiao Fei, come in quickly. You're here so soon. I hope nothing happened on the way."

Liu Yifei took off her camouflage suit piece by piece, then smiled at Cui Xinqin and said:

"It's okay, Mr. Cui. I came here hiding from people."

"Hey, what do you mean by hiding from people? This is not a place where people can't see each other. What I mean is that you were driving too fast on the road. Be more careful next time."

Cui Xinqin's caring complaints made Liu Yifei regain the feeling of being in school. She smiled and nodded obediently.

"Ha, you, come on, tell me what happened. You didn't explain it clearly on the phone. Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Did you shoot a movie?"

When Liu Yifei first entered the room, Cui Xinqin didn't notice her. Now that she sat closer, she noticed something strange about Liu Yifei's eyes.

Actors are good at observation, and Cui Xinqin, as a mentor, is even more so. She could tell at a glance that the girl had caused the consequences because of the transition during filming.

Then, his face turned serious and he asked righteously:

"Why, now that Sun Yi has become a big director, he doesn't treat actors as human beings anymore? How did it become like this?"

As he said this, he was about to pick up his cell phone. It looked like he was going to call Sun Yi on the spot and give him a good lecture.

"No, no, it's not like that, Teacher Cui."

Liu Yifei quickly stopped Cui Xinqin and explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Cui Xinqin calmed down, but still said to Liu Yifei earnestly:
"Xiao Fei, for us actors, the play is more important than anything else, that's true, but we also have to take care of our bodies, especially for us actresses. Sun Yi is a rough man, he doesn't understand, you can't just follow him, you have to say what you need to say."

"Yeah, I know~"

Liu Yifei bared her teeth and nodded repeatedly, not seeming to take it to heart at all.

Cui Xinqin felt helpless for a while and was too lazy to care about the couple's affairs, so she simply turned the topic back on track.

"Alright, show me what kind of scene it is that has not been passed after three days of filming!"

After hearing this, Liu Yifei finally stopped smiling and took out a black USB flash drive from her handbag.

This was before on the set. She and Sun Yi specially requested to copy it down, and then they planned to go home and watch their performance to see if there were any problems.

Unexpectedly, I didn't realize it, but I'm using it right now.

Liu Yifei introduced to Cui Xinqin the emotional background of the character and the setting of the scene.

Cui Xinqin listened with a serious face, then turned on the computer and watched Liu Yifei's performance.

The videos in the USB drive are not long, and they are not all the filming content of the three days. They only contain two clips that Liu Yifei thinks are her best performances.

Cui Xinqin read it back and forth twice, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

First of all, she silently gave the girl a thumbs up in her heart.

In her opinion, Liu Yifei had performed very well in these two scenes, and from her point of view, there was nothing wrong with her performance.

You mentioned expressions, movements, voices, emotions, etc. There is no problem with those. Even if she did it herself, her performance wouldn't necessarily be much better than Liu Yifei's.

There is even a high possibility that he is not as good as this girl.

It is true that Teacher Cui Xinqin is a professional professor of acting, but after all, she has been in a teaching position for a long time and has been away from the front-line film sets for a long time.

Things like performance also need to keep pace with the times.

"What did Sun Yi say?"

"He said that it still lacks a little bit of infectiousness, the kind that can capture the hearts of fans in an instant."

"Humph, he said it so easily. Which actor wouldn't want to capture the hearts of fans in an instant? But is it that easy?"

"I think this is a bad habit he developed after becoming a director, and you guys spoiled him."

Cui Xinqin's expression suddenly changed, and Liu Yifei was so scared that she shrank her body, with her chin almost touching her neck.

"Xiao Fei, the director and the actor are like Party A and Party B. Party A's demands are always endless and even incredible. Oh, yes, their directors are called unrestrained, and we actors cannot just listen to the director. We must have our own opinions. The roles are interpreted by us actors, that is to say, the task of making the roles come alive is in our hands."

"Xiao Fei, I'm telling you the truth. I watched your two performances and there's nothing wrong with them. Even if there are problems, they're not something I can spot. Do you understand me?"

Liu Yifei blinked, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

“When you reach a certain level in performance, you can no longer rely on others. You need to combine your own experience to summarize and comprehend. This is what we often call forming a unique personal performance style.”

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Similarly, there are a thousand different ways to play Hamlet by a thousand actors. It has nothing to do with the level of acting skills. It's just that each actor's style and understanding of the role are different."

"You've reached this point where you have to rely on yourself for everything."

"Me? Have I reached this level?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened and she pointed at herself in disbelief.

Cui Xinqin was actually a little angry when she saw Liu Yifei's lack of confidence.

"Why, do you think that anyone can win the Hundred Flowers Award?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei blushed and couldn't help but pursed her lips.

In fact, it is not Liu Yifei’s fault that she is not confident in her own abilities. Since joining Star Sky, she has never acted in any other film crew except for a Hollywood movie “Inception”.

In Star Sky, the people he works with on a daily basis are all great actors. It's either Zhang Songwen or Zhou Xun, or even Zhang Yi. Although he seems to be laughing and joking on weekdays, he can beat more than 90% of the male actors in China when acting.

Liu Yifei felt like she was in an East Asian monster room every day, so she naturally felt that she lacked firepower and confidence.

In addition, her own foundation was not very solid, and there was also Sun Yi, who always made fun of her acting skills, which made Liu Yifei naturally have no correct understanding of her own acting level.

Even though she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress some time ago, she thought it was because Sun Yi's script was good enough and she benefited from it as well.

Now, after hearing what Teacher Cui said, she felt a little emotional.

It turns out that my acting skills have reached this level.

Liu Yinghou~
Liu Yifei raised her pretty face, but before it lasted 2 seconds, her face fell again.

Because when she was filming this scene, she also had an inexplicable feeling, very mysterious, but real.

She just felt that she could bring out the character's emotions even more, but she didn't know how.

Liu Yifei asked the questions in her mind.

Cui Xinqin thought for a while and asked:
"Xiao Fei, have you ever attended a funeral of a relative or friend in your life?"

“Yes.”

Liu Yifei nodded and then shook her head.

"That was when I was very young. I don't remember it."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Cui Xinqin was a little troubled. After thinking for a moment, she asked again:
"Have you ever experienced a broken heart?"

Lost in love?

Liu Yifei shook her head again.

My first love is Sun Yi, and I haven't lost him yet.
Cui Xinqin nodded slowly. She probably figured out what the problem was with Liu Yifei.

Her scene contains both the grief of losing her lover and the regret of a relationship that ended in vain.

The little girl has never experienced these two things.

Her acting skills are fine, and her understanding of the character is also good enough, the only thing lacking is experience.

In other words, there is no relevant experience.

No wonder. Although this girl has been in the industry for a long time, under Liu Xiaoli's careful care, she didn't feel the insidious darkness in the circle at all. She finally fell into the abyss and was about to suffer. At this time, Sun Yi appeared and pulled her back. Then, everything went smoothly for her.

Cui Xinqin considered the wording and said to Liu Yifei:

"When we actors are acting out something we haven't experienced in real life, in addition to being inspired by observation, we can also use our imagination."

"Use your imagination to imagine what kind of mood you would have and how you would react when you encounter those things and in that situation."

Liu Yifei nodded, not quite understanding, her beautiful eyes full of question marks.

So abstract.

I have thought of everything imaginable during the first three days of filming, and I really can’t think of anything else.

But it's just a little bit off.

Seeing Liu Yifei's slightly confused look, Cui Xinqin knew that she still didn't understand.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke.

"If imagination alone is not enough, we can also simulate performances."

“A mock performance?”

"Well, Xiaofei, you can go home and ask Sun Yi to cooperate with you and let him..."

"Is this okay?"

Liu Yifei was quite surprised after listening to Cui Xinqin's little trick.

Cui Xinqin nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, you will know when you go back and try it. If it were someone else, they might not be able to feel it, but you. Seeing how you obey Sun Yi in everything, it will definitely work."

"No way, Mr. Cui~"

Liu Yifei felt embarrassed and looked ashamed.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending in front of me, go home and try again, and remember what I said, don't let Sun Yi know in advance."

"Well, I see."

"Go."

"Goodbye, Teacher Cui."

Looking at Liu Yifei's back as she left excitedly, Cui Xinqin's eyes were full of smiles.

It’s great to be young~
Sun Yi was busy in Starry Sky for a whole day. He not only sorted out all the shooting materials of "Only You", but also held a meeting with the editing team according to his own editing ideas.

Let them start the first phase of work.

Afterwards, I also discussed the promotional plan for the movie "New World" with Yang Fan and Liu Xiaowei.

After all, there is only a little over a month left before the film is released, and it is time to start the specific promotional measures.

Fortunately, Starry Sky’s current publicity and promotion capabilities are no longer what they used to be, and both online and offline are first-class in the entire circle.

After Sun Yi listened to it roughly, he signed his agreement.

Then it's time to go home after get off work.

When we returned to No. 8 Xiaoyun Road, it was just a little after 4 o'clock.

The girl actually came to greet him wearing an apron, holding a small spatula in her hand, and the roar of the range hood could be heard from the kitchen.

"Hey, what day is it today? Why is the goddess cooking?"

"Hehe, you've worked hard, let me reward you."

"Are you sure it's a consolation and not something else? For example, revenge?"

"Hey, you, I'm cooking for you, why don't you know how kind I am~"

Liu Yifei raised the small spatula in her hand, looking like a violent little cook.

Seeing this, Sun Yi quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, thank you, my wife. I'm looking forward to the feast now."

"That's almost right. You can't eat this meal for free. You have to promise me something~"

"Tsk, I told you, if you show kindness for no reason, you are not a traitor."

Sun Yi looked at the shovel in front of him and chose to shut up.

"We can talk, what's the matter?"

"Just agree to it, and we'll talk about it after dinner."
