This director needs to apologize

Chapter 235 Avengers Rebels

After calling a halt, Chen Yiming did not resume filming immediately, but announced a 30-minute break.

He walked out of the prison shed and walked to the big tent, called Yu Nan out, and had a private chat in the open space outside the tent.

"How did you feel about that time just now? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Chen Yiming's roundabout question was not to take care of Yu Nan's feelings, but to put pressure on Yu Nan.

Obviously, the scene just now was a three-person show. The director ignored the two veteran actors and called Yu Nan out alone for "face-to-face instruction." It was obvious who the problem was.

And the question was "What don't you understand?" This is a very serious problem for a dedicated actor, and it means that Yu Nan's performance just now was "wrong".

Yu Nan answered without hesitation, "My own thinking has hit a wall here. Director Chen can speak directly if he has anything to say. I especially want to know your thoughts on this scene."

Yu Nan actually felt a little resentful because the crew of "Mulan" or the director Chen Yiming was very strange. Not only did they not arrange a script reading before the filming started, but they rarely communicated with her as the heroine after the filming started.

Up to now, she has just acted according to the character biography she imagined. As for whether it is suitable for the director's path, she has no idea.

The scene just now plays a role in connecting the past and the future in the film. After this scene, the contradiction between the enemy and ourselves in the main line deepens, and the class contradiction in the side line suddenly intensifies.

This will lead to the subsequent trip to Chang'an.

Yu Nan naturally had a plan for this highlight scene, but the result made her very dissatisfied. She had already noticed the problem before the filming was finished.

Not only was the heroine being overshadowed by supporting actors, but she also found that she had not been able to fully identify Mulan's position in this scene.

This is reflected in the fact that when she is not speaking her lines, her on-the-spot reaction is not even as good as that of Jiang Huiwu, who is dozing off in the main seat.

Chen Yiming did not answer directly, but continued to ask, "Tell me about your thoughts. What motives did Mulan act in this scene?"

The biggest difference between movies and reality is that the characters in movies, similar to individuals in economics, all have the assumption of rational people.

In short, the character's behavior must have a motive, and the specific motive must be logical.

Even if they are playing a madman, a fool, or a mental patient, what an actor does is not arbitrary.

Yu Nan frowned and replied, "At this point in the plot, I think Mulan will define herself as an avenger, and at the same time she also has the element of a rebel.

Mulan is integrating into an idealized life that is both novel and peaceful. However, the Western Turks Chu Yuebu disrupted this life and made Mulan shoulder responsibilities that were not hers. Therefore, she must be extremely disgusted with the Western Turks. of.

She originally didn't have much desire to make achievements, but the needs of her subordinates and friends had always pushed her forward. Before the decisive battle on the grassland, she was only disgusted with Captain Wang's behavior of greedy for credit, and she couldn't even bear it.

It wasn't until Lieutenant Wang escaped from the battle and betrayed the entire scout force, and Nie Yuan was seriously injured in the subsequent battle, that Mulan was completely angered.

I even think that by this time, Mulan's heart has combined the two enemies, one external and one internal, into one, which is not impossible.

After all, in the previous sneak attack, Mulan lost her family member Lin Geng, and because of Captain Wang, Mulan almost lost her good partner Nie Yuan.

As for the two motivations of revenge and resistance, I prefer the latter in this scene. "

Chen Yiming nodded understandingly and said, "So you acted so darkly just now, like a hedgehog with exploded fur. It gave me the impression that Mulan has no expectations for the top brass of the Tang Army."

Yu Nan blinked and murmured, "Is this how it looks? It seems different from what I expected."

Chen Yiming smiled, "It seems you have discovered the problem.

Although Mulan didn't know that the teacher Xiao Siye and the deputy general manager Su Dingfang belonged to the same faction at this time, Xiao Siye's existence and his love for Mulan still kept Mulan's heart warm. Mulan’s responsibility is not on that grassland, or it is rooted in the Tang Dynasty and spreads to the grassland. After all, the movie wants to portray a female general of the Tang Dynasty, not a peacemaker between the Tang Dynasty and foreign races. "

Yu Nan nodded repeatedly when she heard this. She knew that she was going too far, confusing Mulan's position, and then acting like Mulan as a child who had been wronged and gritted her teeth.

At Chen Yiming's reminder, Yu Nan changed the direction of his thinking and soon discovered something unusual in the script.

First of all, is coach Cheng Zhijie really a slippery old fool?

There is only one scene in the script, and there is only one line in the whole process. When he said the lines, he still looked like he was awake, and there was no interaction between him and Mulan.

But judging from Cheng Zhijie's reaction, allowing Mulan to speak multiple times is already a statement in favor of her.

Otherwise, how could she, a little brigade commander, be able to walk straight into the Chinese army's tent with such arrogance?

Su Dingfang spoke before Wang Wendu. Although his tone was stern and his words were sharp, he also gave her the opportunity to elaborate on the causes and consequences.

This is obviously a friendly army!

From this, Yu Nan thought more and more deeply, and the logic of the performance became more and more detailed.

When facing coach Cheng Zhijie, he should change his attitude when he first comes to visit.

To be able to enter the Chinese army's tent, no matter how many twists and turns, Cheng Zhijie's tacit consent was obtained. Mulan should have figured it out before entering the tent, otherwise she would be sorry for having learned the art of war for more than 20 years.

Facing potential ally Su Dingfang, there is a process of continuous transformation of attitude.

You will be a little surprised when you are first questioned. After all, the two of them neither knew each other nor had any grudges before.

After noticing the confrontation between Su and Wang, Mulan should recognize and respond to Su Dingfang's kindness out of the simple law that the enemy of her enemy is her ally.

When Su Dingfang questioned Wang Wendu's power to protect his nephew Wang Duwei, Mulan was able to confirm Su Dingfang's political stance. This was good news and should naturally have corresponding external manifestations.

It turns out that in the filming just now, she only acted her emotions correctly when facing Wang Wendu, that is, she ignored him the whole time.

Yu Nan then thought that Mulan's attitude towards her immediate boss, Captain Wang, could be more intense.

On the one hand, the two rivals want to create hierarchy and contrast; on the other hand, they have the confidence to be famous.

After thinking about it, Yu Nan suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Yiming with bright eyes.

"Director Chen, thank you for your inspiration. Please give me another half hour."

After saying that, Yu Nan turned around and left. Pulling away the assistant who was waiting to hand her a thermos cup, she found an empty tent nearby and dived in.

Chen Yiming is still a little confused. Do you want to understand? Did I inspire something?

He just wanted to tell Yu Nan that this was, after all, an internal meeting of the Tang Army. All present were colleagues, and Mulan still had the lowest official position among them, so she always had a decent attitude on the surface.

After all, Mulan is not a royal captain, and she does not have an uncle who is a deputy commander. No matter how great her contribution is, it is not enough for her to be unscrupulous in front of all the superior officials.

But now that Yu Nan has a new idea, Chen Yiming's goal has been achieved.

Then he walked into the big tent, said hello to the three veteran actors, and presented his rainbow fart to each one.
