This director needs to apologize

Chapter 191: Scheming and Difficult
Yu Nanzhe returned to the bed and put on his shoes, then stood in front of the judges' table.

Chen Yiming apologized first, "Teacher Yu, I'm sorry, our preparations were not done well. We only put clothes in the box, not shoes."

Yu Nan smiled and did not follow Chen Yiming's words. Instead, he asked directly, "Director Chen, it seems that more than just boots are missing here, right?

You see, this room is so dull that I can't even bring out a baggage, so I can only walk away empty-handed with a sword on my back. "

Chen Yiming clapped his hands in agreement, "So, Teacher Yu, do you need me to arrange for additional props immediately?"

Yu Nan shook his head, "No need, this is fine."

Chen Yiming continued to ask, "We have finished walking through the play. Does Teacher Yu have anything to ask, or is there anything we need to cooperate with?"

Yu Nan thought for a while, then turned to Cui Fang and said, "This photography teacher, please follow me during the next scene."

Cui Fang nodded in agreement, and Chen Yiming called the staff outside the studio and took Yu Nan to the dressing room to change clothes and do her hair again.

Since Yu Nan was not present, the judges suddenly felt much more relaxed and could speak freely.

Hou Peijuan, who has a strong personality, was the first to speak, "Director Chen, everyone, I still insist on my original opinion. Yu Nan's appearance is too aggressive and not approachable enough.

I think her face is not suitable for costume at all, and the first impression is not up to standard. "

Cui Fang, who had just photographed Yu Nan, seemed to have transformed into the shape of Sister Nan. He objected bluntly, "I think Yu Nan is quite suitable for the role of Mulan. Her acting skills are excellent, her temperament fits well, and her face is three-dimensional and has a story." It fits the image of a taciturn, self-possessed soldier.

Moreover, the setting of Mulan in the film is that she has an older sister and a younger brother, a typical middle child. Yu Nan understands the role very well. "

Sheng Xin intervened to smooth things over, "This is only the first half of the first one, so you might as well wait and see."

Everyone looked at Chen Yiming, who smiled and said, "It depends on what I do. I will not express my opinions during the audition process. This is unfair to the actors who have not yet auditioned."

Lin Xiao simply changed the topic and said, "Yiming, don't you think Mulan's dress is too plain? There is only a simple set of hairpin rings all over her body, which is not enough to show off her feminine charm."

Qi Yu also spoke up, "I agree, it is indeed too simple. Looking at the script, this will be the last time Mulan wears women's clothing. If it is not more gorgeous, how can it make the audience feel regretful?"

Cui Fang jumped out to sing the opposite, "Mulan is a commoner woman, and this dress is just right. If she really wears jewelry, will she still be an ordinary family who can't afford taxes?"

Hou Peijuan has just been hit but is not discouraged and is still active in expressing her opinions, "This is making a movie. It is just daydreaming, and the visual effects are the first priority.

So I support Lin Sheng and Qi Sheng, they must be very beautiful, so that the contrast will be strong when they wear military uniforms later. "

The other two producers stayed true to their duties and simply ignored Lin Xiao's canvassing behavior.

Mr. Wang Liping was even more dismissive and walked out of the studio to greet his apprentice and adjust the lighting in the boudoir.

The creative attitude of the actors can influence and drive the work enthusiasm of the people behind the scenes. Mr. Wang obviously discovered the flaws in the lighting during the performance just now, and started to improve it himself without the host Yu Nan having to say anything.

In less than 30 minutes, Yu Nan finished applying makeup and returned to the studio. After watching the previous sample, she started her second performance without stopping.

This time, Yu Nan continued the logic of her previous performance, but as if the contrast had been adjusted in the post-production stage of the photo, the ups and downs and turns of her performance were sharper, and her movements had a strong stage feel.

In the last section, before Yu Nan led the horse away, he performed a silent sword dance in the courtyard. The speed was very slow but the setbacks were obvious. There was an obvious sense of strength when retracting and retracting, showing off his skills.

It's obviously a show-off, and it's a show-off with a strong purpose, even at the expense of destroying the overall logic and atmosphere.

If it were a real shot, Chen Yiming would have definitely said "Ka", this is a movie and not a drama.

However, Chen Yiming can understand Yu Nan's caution. After all, he has already had a performance foundation above the first-level level. Next, he should show himself in all aspects as much as possible. Everyone in the crew knows that auditions are not just about auditioning for acting skills.

After the second performance, just looking at the material, Yu Nan's harmony with the camera and lighting was even better. The two photographers and Mr. Wang also used Yu Nan as a prop to show Chen Yiming his real skills.

Seeing that the time was almost 12 o'clock, Chen Yiming asked Yu Nan if he would continue the performance for the third time.

Yu Nan shook his head, so Chen Yiming signaled to turn off the lights and asked his assistant to bring Yu Nan a chair and place it in front of the judges' table.

"Teacher Yu, thank you for your wonderful performance. Next, please explain your understanding of the role of Mulan. You can express your opinions on this scene only, or you can express your opinions on the entire story."

Yu Nan answered without thinking, "I think Mulan is an ideal girl. Although she doesn't know what this ideal should be at this time, she is obviously not satisfied with her current life and is not reconciled to the visible future. From Mulan's poem, I can deduce a conclusion that Mulan is completely different from her sister, and may be different from all the girls in the village. She is confused, confused, and painful about this.

Mulan's father should have taught Mulan some skills passed down from generation to generation in military families, otherwise Mulan would not have had the idea of ​​joining the army for her father. Without these skills, it would not be joining the army for her father, but dying for her father.

On this basis, I constructed Mulan's core trait, which is her ambition to change the status quo. She is eager to contact the outside world to help herself find the answer in her heart.

Therefore, I set the tone of this scene to be determined and unwilling to give up. She has a natural sense of contradiction in her heart. On the one hand, she is excited about the opportunity to step into the unknown, and on the other hand, she has a sense of the battlefield that has swallowed up her father's health. A fear.

At the same time, her filial piety to her father was sincere, but because it secretly conformed to her private desire to get out of the small world, she felt ashamed because her filial piety was no longer pure.

She knew that if she took this step, her peaceful life would leave her. Although she was reluctant to give up, she would never regret it.

I haven't seen the script yet, but I want to make a suggestion to Director Chen. The ending of the script should be adapted more logically.

The ending of Mulan Ci does not conform to reality and is entirely the author's subjective imagination.

Imagine a girl who has been exposed to the vast world. After finding her own value in life in the military camp, how can she willingly return to her family to raise her husband and raise children?

The ending of Mulan Ci not only makes up for the woman, but also underestimates the warriors. He is tired of the battlefield and longs to return to the pastoral life. This is completely the wishful thinking of the literati and does not conform to the actual situation of ancient China. "

Chen Yiming nodded and did not speak. Instead, he turned his head and looked to the left and right, meaning that he had no questions, and if you have questions, just ask.

Hou Peijuan was about to speak, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Cui Fangxian, who held her breath in her chest and even coughed.

Cui Fang didn't look at her at all and said to himself, "Teacher Yu, the shadow of your jawline is particularly beautiful.

I noticed that when you are performing, you often deviate slightly from the camera at a slight angle. Is this a conscious adjustment on your part, or is it a subconscious performance habit? "

Yu Nan was a little confused by Cui Fang, who was straight. As a photographer, you, as a photographer, just tacitly revealed the little secrets that people have about beauty. How could you reveal it directly?

Chen Yiming suppressed his laughter until his stomach hurt. The two old men next to him, Wang Lizing and Qi Yu, couldn't help laughing. However, Cui Fang acted as if there was no one else around, staring at Yu Nan eagerly, waiting for her answer.

At this time, the actor's emotional intelligence is tested. After all, it is a big or small talking point to influence the overall effect of the play.

Yu Nan quickly recovered from her daze, and gave Cui Fang a self-deprecating smile, "Teacher Cui, I am not a great beauty, let alone a beauty at first sight.

Playing the role of Mulan, a household name, is very stressful.

What I personally can do is to do my best to show my outstanding side so that I can meet the audience's expectations in front of the camera.

I also want to thank Teacher Cui for coincidentally agreeing with me. The tracking shot you took was a perfect reproduction of my inner imagination. "

Lao Cui felt distressed at first and then secretly delighted. His previous interest in exploring "art" had long been forgotten. He withdrew his eye-catching gaze on Yu Nan and turned on the camera to reflect on his masterpiece.

Only then did Hou Peijuan have the opportunity to speak, "Teacher Yu, I think you are too modest. Comparing the original text of Mulan's poem, I just feel that your beauty has far exceeded Mulan's upper limit.

My question is, what do you think of Mulan's emotional line? Since you think the ending of Mulan's Ci is illogical, what kind of ending would meet your expectations? Do you think Mulan should have an emotional destination? "

Chen Yiming said to himself that Ms. Hou's question was really tricky, and he understood the essence of giving back to the other person.

Yu Nan himself said that Mulan was an ideal woman, and that after growing up in the military camp, she should be scornful of her husband and raised children.

Now that Hou Peijuan has thrown Yu Nan's question back, tell yourself, how should you make up this ending?
It's unrealistic to stay in the military all the time, and I'm not willing to follow traditional morals and return to my family. So what should I do? I can't just die in battle and be done with it, right?

Chen Yiming knew that Ms. Hou must have prepared a lot of difficult questions because she was not satisfied with any of the five candidates.

Although Chen Yiming has created two successful cases of pioneering with new lineups, this style of play does not conform to the inherent thinking of Hong Kong filmmakers.

It is difficult for a person to transform himself, and it is even more difficult for a successful person.

Of course, Chen Yiming doesn't care. Starring in a big production is inherently stressful and torturous. Compared with the external pressure during film production and promotion, Ms. Hou's questions are not malicious.
