This director needs to apologize

Chapter 211 Love to dream and be childish

Wang Wei trotted over and said, "Director Chen, it's almost time to start."

Chen Yiming turned to look at Yu Nan, "Actually, I planned to call you over tomorrow to take a closer look at your teenage years and find out how you feel when you grow up."

Yu Nan stood up with a smile, "This is also the purpose of my coming here today. We thought of going together."

The two walked side by side into the depths of the woods. At this moment, there was just a glimmer of light before sunrise on the horizon. The curtains were illuminated by large and small lamps like daylight, making it appear brighter than outside.

There are more than twenty groups of lamps arranged inside the curtain. The higher the wattage of the lamp, the longer it takes to warm up. Therefore, the lighting group has been busy for more than five hours after arriving in the early morning.

Mr. Wang had not slept for half the night and was still very energetic. When Chen Yiming passed by, he was shouting at the top of his voice, instructing the apprentice on the tree to adjust the angle of the overhead light.

"The left side is higher. Left is not right. You are such a fool. Every time you light the picture, you see it backwards. Okay, get out of here."

Chen Yiming interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Lizing ignored him, but looked over Chen Yiming and behind him, "Girl! Come and stand for a moment."

Zhang Zifeng held the grass circle on his head, walked over quickly, stood behind the tree in a familiar manner, and then exposed most of his face on one side of his head.

The old man gestured twice with the light watch, then turned to look at the "artificial sun" on the side of his head, exhaled and said, "It's done!"

Wang Lizing nodded towards Chen Yiming, exited the curtain and walked towards the rest area at the edge of the woods.

Chen Yiming was not surprised, but called Zhang Zifeng out from behind the tree and took a closer look at her outfit.

Compared with the appearance in the previous test shoot, Mulan now has two more changes.

First, the hairstyle has been slightly adjusted. The bun is more naughty and childish, and the sideburns on both sides are a little longer.

The second is that the sweat towel around the neck has changed from being tied directly around the neck to covering the chin.

After the examination, Chen Yiming nodded, looked at Yu Nan beside him and asked, "How do you feel, your girlhood."

Yu Nan replied, "It's a little different from the image in the character's biography. I have to think about it again."

Then she asked Zhang Zifeng, "Zifeng, what kind of person do you think Mulan is now?"

Zhang Zifeng glanced at Chen Yiming, who smiled and nodded, so she answered, "Teacher Yu, I think little Mulan is a young child who knows no worries, is innocent and loves to dream.

She likes fun and novel things, because the martial arts and military skills taught by her father make her very prestigious among children of the same age, so she also has a fearless side.

It is not a blind risk taken out of arrogance, but a kind of self-confidence from the heart. "

Yu Nan shook his head and said, "You have posed a big problem for me. The next time I appear, I will be a chirping peasant weaver girl. This bend is quite big."

Chen Yiming gave her a thumbs up and said, "With your acting skills, you can easily handle an S-shaped curve."

Signaling Zhang Zifeng to take his place, Chen Yiming turned around and checked the camera position himself, walked through the two actors' positions, and finally exchanged a few words with Tao Yixi.

Wang Wei, who was following him, reminded him again, "Director Chen, it's almost time."

Chen Yiming returned to the monitor and made a gesture to Wang Wei. The latter picked up the electric horn and shouted, "Attention of all departments, self-examination, reporting, and clearing the area."

After confirming one by one, Luo Baohe sealed the smoke, Wang Wei hit the board, and Chen Yiming gave the order, "Start!"

Outside the woods, Tao Yixi moved lightly, his figure gradually disappeared into the white mist, and then gradually appeared in the monitor.

"Ka! Xiao Tao returns to his position and does it again."

It has nothing to do with Tao Yixi's performance. It's simply that the fog is too thick and weakens the expressiveness of the close-ups. The fog was still a bit thick the second time, but Chen Yiming didn't say anything until Zhang Zifeng said his line and asked Tao Yixi to stop.

"Ka! Xiao Tao, come here."

Tao Yixi ran over with her skirt in hand, and Chen Yiming said to her, "Pretending to be calm does not mean being really calm. Remember, the characters in the play are just imitating the appearance of female elders.

Think about it, you have just escaped a dangerous chase, your guards and maids are not around, and you walk into the misty woods alone. Who do you want to show it to?

Etiquette and facial expressions are just habits in daily life, which does not mean that you are not panicked or afraid in your heart at this time.

What should you do if you suddenly hear a strange voice at this time? Give me a few details that will make the audience notice the change in the character's mentality.

Don't worry about ruining the character, just be bold. You are playing a little girl, and there is no standard answer for your reaction. "

The little girl raised her head and listened carefully, but her eyes gradually lost focus, and she was obviously thinking about how to perform next.

He is worthy of being a "little actor" who has acted in many adaptations of famous works. Although he is young, his professional quality is already very good.

"Director, I understand, give me ten minutes."

Chen Yiming smiled and nodded, and Wang Wei next to him raised his horn and shouted, "Ten minutes to rest."

In the third filming, Tao Yixi's performance has undergone some changes, and the little adult's temperament has reached a realm from the inside out.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Chen Yiming chose to cast from the CCTV Children's Art Troupe. Those young actors who remade famous works have received training in small acting and big acting since they entered the industry.

When they grow up, this acting method may bring certain limitations to them, causing their performances to be too dramatic and not realistic and natural enough.

But at this stage, they are portraying young and mature characters, or young and pretending to be mature characters. They are absolutely true to their true colors, and there is no sense of disobedience.

What Chen Yiming wants to do is to inspire Tao Yixi to step out of the character frame a little and show a little bit of the "childishness" inherent in the body.

Calling Tao Yixi over for the second time, Chen Yiming said, "Xiao Tao, the detail of the stiff body is well designed. You have grasped the essence of this character.

I think you should have consulted a lot of content in history books when preparing your biographies. This is good and shows that you are a serious and diligent actor.

But as far as this scene is concerned, you have a lot of ideas. The Xiao Wu you played is just one aspect of the character.

In other words, in this movie, both Xiao Wu and Da Wu are just a tiny fragment of the historical prototype.

If you use an iceberg to describe it, this character is just a small piece of the iceberg above the water. The Xiao Wu you play is a small tip in the small piece of the water.

Calm in the face of danger and with a deep heart, this character is very consistent with history and the audience's perception, but it does not fit the Xiao Wu in this scene.

She was a child who had just lost her father, and it was a very unsettling time, so you had to balance being out of control with being in control.

I hope the loss of control can be more intense, and there can be a little more difference between the subsequent re-control and the initial active control.

I’ll give you a little more time to think this time and try again in a quarter of an hour. "

The little girl's eyes were filled with mosquito repellent, and she walked towards the rest area as if she didn't understand.

Yu Nan frowned and asked, "Director Chen, is your acting inspiration too metaphysical? Can Xiao Tao understand it?"

Chen Yiming replied, "My prompts are very specific, okay? The three-stage performance logic of control, loss of control, and control again is clear.

Don't worry, Xiao Tao is the leading female lead in the Children's Art Troupe. She has played many more complex characters, and this scene is completely within her capabilities. "
