This director needs to apologize

Chapter 58 It’s all about skills and no emotion
If Hou Yong enters the performance state, he is an active volcano waiting to erupt.

Then Duan Yining sitting in front of Chen Yiming is an extinct volcano.

Thick, deep and quiet.

As Duan Yining sat down in the conference room, the sound was sucked away by the black hole with him as the core like substance, and it turned into a silent space in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yiming's words reached the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them out.

Originally, Duan Yining's audition was Chen Yiming's request to Li Jian to do it reluctantly. He had not yet confirmed that he would take the role.

Chen Yiming was still thinking about saying nice words and building friendship after meeting, but now he saw that he was put off. The person sitting opposite him was a typical experience-oriented lunatic. It would be more sincere to talk about business directly.

"Teacher Duan, the role you are invited to play is the communications staff officer of the regiment in the movie. Please perform the scene where your character sacrifices his life live.

You step on a landmine while traveling and signal your companions to go first.

The lines and actions are up to you. "

When Chen Yiming was a director in his previous life, he worked with several crazy actors.

This kind of people may seem difficult to communicate with, but they are easy to deal with once you catch the pulse.

The method is very simple, don't set any rules for them, just let them play freely.

As long as they are happy, everything will be easy.

The extreme situation stipulated by Chen Yiming, coupled with the rudimentary background explanation, seemed to suit Duan Yining's appetite.

He stood up and moved the chair to the corner, while he retreated to the door of the conference room and stood there motionless for a long time.

After 5 minutes, he finally started to move forward.

He walked up and down, with his hands climbing, pulling and other movements, using body language to convey the message that there was a mountain road under his feet, and it was very difficult to walk.

He also turned back from time to time, making a gesture of pulling people, indicating that there were companions behind him and that he was the one walking in front.

While pulling people in, there will always be brief questions and teasing.

"Where is your home?"

"Who else is at home?"

"How old is this year?"

"I'm already older than you, but you're a little worried about your appearance."

"What do you want to do when you get home? I want to go for a swim. Have you ever seen the sea?"

"I've never seen the sea, but I've seen the rivers, right? Didn't you see the Yalu River when you came here?"

"I also want to learn how to make a radio, the long box used across the street, let's also——, stop!"

Suddenly he froze his body and stopped, and at the same time waved his hand back to signal his companions to stop.

Then he slowly squatted down, made a pulling motion, and looked at his right foot steadily.

After a few seconds, he looked up and smiled wryly.

"I'm unlucky. I stepped on one that was no bigger than my waist, but I can handle it. You can go first."

Duan Yining put his right hand on his left wrist, then stretched his hand forward, making a hand gesture.

"Take it, you know how to look at the watch, you have to rush to the main peak position before the shortest needle points to 8.

You have 30 minutes. "

He waved repeatedly, and even pushed directly, his tone low and urgent.

“Come on, hurry up.

It's useless for you to stay. This kind of thunder cannot be dismantled by two people.

Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I'll be right here. Just wait for you to pick me up when you withdraw.

For the sake of my life, you must run faster, the faster the better!Remember? "

He stared intently at the non-existent back, and waved his hand from time to time.

Finally, he completely put down his hands and lowered his head, slowly lowered his body, stretched out his left arm to make a hooking motion, then raised his left foot and placed it on the virtual stone, putting more weight on his right leg.

Then he heaved a long sigh.

When Duan Yining stood up again, Chen Yiming and Fu Ruixiang could only continue to give warm applause.

Wonderful non-physical performance!

Excellent body control!

Chen Yiming quickly ran to the wall and moved the chair that Duan Yining had moved back to its original position.

Xiangrui played the role of the second dog leg expertly and went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water and handed it to Duan Dada.

The director and actors sat down again, and Chen Yiming began to ask questions.

"Teacher Duan, the consultant you played seems to be a naturally optimistic chatterbox. What are your considerations?"

Compared with the cheerful voice of the counselor during the audition just now, Duan Yining's own voice was much deeper, as if he was a different person.

"If Director Chen really thinks that the performance I just performed is very suitable, then not only will I not feel honored, but I will be slightly disappointed.

Because this is a very lazy acting method, pursuing the ultimate contrast effect.

One moment he was elated, and the next moment he was extremely happy and sad, a reversal that was very popular with the audience.It's a pity that it's all skills and no emotion. "

Xiangrui, who was behind the camera, suddenly turned pale.

Chen Yiming's flattery was directly slapped on the horse's hooves, and his courtesy backfired. The ideal second male lead in his mind was leaving him.

And what made him even more embarrassed was that the plot itself was really designed this way.

There are two messengers, one is dull and the other is cheerful and lively.

The reason why he particularly liked Duan Yining's role as a staff officer was because he had seen the latter's wonderful performance in the military drama "Commando".

In that TV series, Duan Yining portrayed a unique special forces officer.

On weekdays, everyone is laughing and joking, like a lively pond.

Shen Yi, who is unsmiling and courageous in his mission, is like the dark deep sea.

What Chen Yiming wants is Duan Yining in the first half of that drama.

"1951" lacks intuitive combat throughout the film. The protagonist just keeps walking, and only two people appear in half of the movie.

A movie without more lines would be very dull. After all, this is a commercial movie, and watchability is the first priority.

Since the first protagonist can only choose a newcomer actor under the age of 20 due to the theme of the film, then we can't expect too much acting skills, and the personality setting of being dull and talkative is logical.

Correspondingly, the person who shares the acting skills, lines, and highlights can only be another character in the same industry, that is, the consultant played by Duan Yining.

So Duan Yining is actually right. How to play this role is actually a technical issue and does not involve much in the realm of performing arts.

As for this matter, it's best to keep it tacitly known, but it would be very unpleasant to put it on the table and talk about it openly.

You drag a crazy actor over and make him a tool for a young man with no hair at all?

It would be fine if they were those "actors" who were willing to match traffic for money in the previous life. The problem is that Duan Yining is not that kind of person.

If it were true, he wouldn't have been performing in dramas in the military art troupe.

Chen Yiming was in trouble. He really wanted Duan Yining to play "1951", but he really couldn't come up with a better reason to convince him.

People get [-] points in the exam because the paper only has [-] points.

Of course ordinary students are very happy, but Duan Yining is not an ordinary student, he is an IMO gold medal player.

Chen Yiming's behavior is like the plot of a black technology web article I read in a previous life, forcing the protagonist who won the Fields Medal to participate in the most powerful brain variety show.

Anyone who does this is either stupid or bad.

As a director, Chen Yiming certainly cannot be questioned by actors.

He tried his best to pretend to be as understated as possible and said, "Teacher Duan is right. This movie is indeed a technical one. It shows off the skills in one shot.

You have to admit that, with the same theme of the Peninsular War, filming this way is more gimmicky, attracts more people to the theater, and sparks more discussion.

This is enough, the audience is not disgusted, and those who are interested are willing to watch it a few more times. Even looking for editing points is a kind of fun, isn't it?

In my imagination, this is a documentary that is not a documentary. You and your companions use a 2-hour journey to lead the audience to relive a story that has been dusty for 60 years.

Don’t exaggerate feelings, don’t spread values, don’t preach attitudes, just convey information.

Therefore, the characters in it do not need to be artistically appealing to add superfluous features!

You are tool actors, I am a tool director, it’s all the same. "

Duan Yining said that the character you imagined has no depth and art.

Chen Yiming bluntly retorted that what he wanted was not art.

He also said rather coquettishly, "Teacher Duan, how about you play it again according to your idea and let's watch the replay together. As long as you can convince me, I won't object to your acting being more complicated and profound."

The atmosphere in the room was almost like a quarrel, which made the third person, Xiangrui, a little overwhelmed. She buried her face deeply into the camera, not daring to breathe.

Duan Yining stood up without changing his expression, moved the chair to the wall again, retreated to the door of the conference room and started the show directly, which was obviously a long-term plan.

This time he played the staff officer with a more military temperament, decisive, powerful and taciturn.

The body language is also more detailed and natural, and every pause, glance, and hesitation is just right, as if he is really silently watching over a less professional companion.

It's still a shocking freeze-frame, but this time his lines are more concise and his facial expressions are calmer.

Just the slight tightening and thinning of the corners of the mouth clearly conveyed the character's emotions to Chen Yiming.

The regret for the sacrifice, the annoyance for stepping on a minefield, the worry about the mission, and the expectations and worries for the companions.

The words of farewell were calmer and more straightforward.

"Come on! I can't hold on much longer.

If the thunder alerts the enemy, the mission will not be completed. "

Just when Chen Yiming was about to applaud and Fu Ruixiang was about to shut down, Duan Yining raised his hand again and said, "Wait a minute!"

Not finished yet?
Just when Chen Fu and Chen Fu were surprised, they saw Duan Yining reach into his arms, pull out something and hand it out.

"This is my allowance, take it all with you.

You know, the saddest thing in the world is that money is not spent when people die. "
