This director needs to apologize

Chapter 83: The gain outweighs the gain by not being angry and self-defeating
Chen Yiming was amused, and he asked, "What do you think? Tell us all."

Li Mingliang was the first to answer, "I think I have found some sense. I only felt tired during the training, but after disbanding every day, I felt it clearly. Even if I go to get a meal, I have to form a line of three and two in a row. It has become a conditioned reflex."

Fu Ting said, "Yes, after watching the news in the evening, we have a class meeting at 30 minutes to talk about our studies and experiences. It is a bit awkward at first, but once you get used to it, it is very fulfilling. It is indeed different from talking nonsense in the dormitory."

Yang Zuoxue from the Imperial Film Academy said, "They were lucky enough to sleep with Teacher Duan and the others, while Li Yang, Wang Xuchen and I slept with a few veterans. The snoring was so loud that all our energy was spent on interfering. No time to catch up on sleep.”

Wang Xuchen, a junior at the Shanghai Theater Academy, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I almost dozed off during the noon class meeting. The class deputy criticized me several times, but I couldn't help it."

Chen Yiming joked and teased him, "You have to think better of it. When we went back to take the actual shot, the three of us were standing there with our hands tilted, so we didn't even need special effects makeup."

Liu Dongjun's real cousin Yu Hanwen asked, "Director, when are you going to give us some meat? I haven't touched a gun after training for a month. It's better than my military training in college last year."

Obviously Yu Xiao's words resonated with the students present, and a group of young people nodded in agreement.

Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad!

I'll let you cum until you vomit!

The veterans have all tasted it. Except for Zhang Yu and Zhang Gang, whose expressions remained unchanged, everyone else showed a little sympathy on their faces, especially Maodou, who already had a compassionate expression to save all sentient beings.

While they were talking, Da Zhuang, Xiao Mei and several people behind the scenes from the Phantom Factory also came out for a stroll.

Chen Yiming shouted to Xiaomei from afar, "Have the 800 prop guns been shipped over?"

Xiaomei ran over with duck steps, nodded and replied, "It's here, it's all piled up in the warehouse behind."

Chen Yiming ordered, "Li Mingliang, take a few classmates and follow Sister Xiaona to bring some bundles of guns."

The faces of more than a dozen students were all shining with light. As a boy, who doesn’t like da da da?

Soon, 4 bundles of 20 prop guns were brought over, and the student soldiers each picked up one and started playing with it.

Chen Yiming has inspected the sample gun before and found that the workmanship is quite exquisite. It will not be a problem to fool the political and military fans on the Internet.

If you are really serious about it, you should actually learn from "Liberation" 30 years ago and use real people from history to film it.

However, given the current drama industry in China, the prop gun is made more like the real 1951 cap than the [-] cap that has survived to this day. The focus of the movie "[-]" is not on gun battles, so the prop gun is completely sufficient. used.

The students over there are already having fun, imitating a military parade and walking in goose, carrying rifles on their backs to act like sentries, and holding rifles in both hands to practice assassination. It's like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Chen Yiming stopped the students, picked up a gun and handed it to Duan Yining, who was watching the excitement.

"Old Duan, let's show them how to behave without anger at the 84 military parade."

Duan Yining did not shirk and took the rifle and put it on his shoulder.

He knew that Chen Yiming was not only inspiring students, but also using it to measure the effectiveness of his, Lao Shi and others' training.

The crowd dispersed and formed a semi-arc with Duan Yining as the center, stopping to watch his performance.

Duan Yining was seen with his head lowered and his rifle slung on his right shoulder, walking back and forth silently like a sentry on patrol.

He walked back and forth 5 times in a row at 4 meters.

When he turned around for the fifth time, he suddenly took a big step forward.

Taking the first step, he put his right arm on the gun belt on his shoulder and tugged it smoothly, swinging the rifle from behind his shoulder to in front of him.

Taking the second step, his left hand closed with a snap, hitting the butt of the gun with a clear crisp sound.

Taking the third step, he suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes wide, then looked from the side of his head and neck to the heads of the onlookers.

The student soldiers were so shocked that some of them covered their mouths, retreated, and even exclaimed. Chen Yiming felt that his heart had been grasped invisibly.

How to show that you are not angry and confident with a blank face?
Some say it is through mobilizing facial muscles, while others say it is through focusing on eye changes.

What if the muscles are motionless and the eyes are focusless?

It was probably Duan Yining in front of him. There was no facial twitching or sharp eyes, but those eyes conveyed a signal very intuitively.

Get off!Ants!
His face is obviously looking upward slightly, but it gives people a condescending look down on him, and it is the kind of look down like a goshawk fighting a rabbit.

Killing you has nothing to do with you.

And when his pace changed from unison to goose, the sound of walking miraculously diluted the indifference, and the look down simultaneously transformed into majesty. When people stared at him intently, they couldn't help but want to squint slightly. Eye-catching.

It's like staring at the sun above your head.

When Duan Yining finished his performance, even Shi Lei, who was familiar with him, couldn't help but ask, "Old Duan, when did you practice this skill? I've never seen it before. What new drama did you perform? I don't know?"

Duan Yining laughed, "I have recently visited a few seniors and found out my impressions in private. I am just trying to imitate a cat and a tiger. They are tigers in the mountains, but I am just a house cat at best."

Chen Yiming was equally astonished. He actually just wanted Duan Yining to imitate him in order to teach the students not to think that having a gun in their hand meant they were soldiers.

After all, the soldiers in the 84th military parade were all fresh from the firing line. No matter how much the actors pursue to experience life, they can't really go to the Middle East to work.

Lao Duan is worthy of the nickname of "Crazy Actor". No matter what method he uses, he just improvises without make-up, and what he gives is already [-]% similar.His hand instantly calmed the entire audience. The student soldiers even behaved a lot when handling their guns, carrying them on their backs calmly.

And Shi Lei and the others all had bitter expressions on their faces. Duan, who had no martial ethics, had gained a huge amount out of thin air. How could they make up for it?

Li Mingliang, who was the most motivated, was the first to ask, "Teacher Duan, what exactly did you do just now? Can you give us some advice?"

Lao Duan did not hide his secrets, and immediately replied, "First you have to have a life, then you have to sink, and then practice over and over again. First practice in your heart, and then practice in front of the mirror when you are familiar with it in your heart. It is best to have someone to help you." You record it.”

Li Mingliang and other students were confused when they heard what they were saying. They were talking about something. Every word was understandable when taken apart, but they were completely incomprehensible when put together.

What life is there?Why sink?What to practice repeatedly?
Shi Lei interjected and said, "Forget it, don't learn the old way. I almost went crazy after learning it once.

Do you know what the nickname our group gave him?Play monster!Monster of monsters!
This person can come up with a different acting style in every play. It's too personal and not something you should learn. "

After he finished speaking to the students, he looked at Chen Yiming again, "Director Chen, to be honest, I have tried the state of old Duan just now that was unmoving and full of murderous aura, but I can't figure it out.

I would like to ask, is this a special case of the communications staff, or is it the temperament that runs through the entire film? "

Chen Yiming could hear Shi Lei's subtext and understood that Zhang Yu, Zhang Yi and Maodou must be very concerned about this issue.

Although acting is an empirically oriented skill, existing theories have summarized some templates and routines. Many non-mainstream fringe characters are not necessarily particularly difficult to perform.

To play a perverted murderer, the actor does not need to actually kill someone and cut their bodies into pieces to understand the prisoner's mentality.

To play a potential homosexual, there is no need to actually find a same-sex friend to fall in love with.

Because the two attributes of non-mainstream and marginal mean that the audience has a higher sense of tolerance and curiosity, and a lower level of understanding of the target character.

When actors perform, as long as they grasp one or two characteristics and aspects of the group and combine them with their own characteristics to transform and amplify them, they can bring enough stimulation to the audience and leave a deep impression.

However, this law is not universal, and there are areas it cannot cover.

The most typical ones are soldiers and police.

These are two professionals who have been granted law enforcement qualifications by the state and can legally deprive others of their lives. Although what they do is "marginal" behavior, they are "just" from heart to action.

In terms of performance, normality is always more difficult to perform successfully than abnormality. The more natural something is, the harder it is to act naturally.

Chen Yiming clearly remembers how shocked he was when he watched "121 Murder" in his previous life and saw the real-person detectives.

Compared with them, the detectives in "Serious Case Group Six" are all police academy students, including Li Chengru, a veteran actor.

The veterans who return from the battlefield are the "ultimate perverts" in the normal world, and are more difficult to shape than criminal police officers.

Therefore, people who watch the video of the 84 military parade for the first time will definitely have a different perception than watching a war movie.

The actors in the movie may kill more and more happily, but no matter how much tomato juice is sprinkled and no matter how ferocious the expression, the audience knows that it is an act.

The soldiers in the military parade were neatly dressed and expressionless, and the bloody light around them penetrated the screen and was projected into the hearts of the audience.

Of course, it is only theoretically difficult to act as a soldier than a policeman. In practice, since the perspective of war films is often more macroscopic than that of police and criminal films, the shooting difficulty of war films and dramas is actually lower than that of police and criminal films.

The reason is that the audience's tolerance thresholds for the two themes are different.

The literary drama of war movies is weaker, and the character portrayal is more templated. At most, the score drops from 8 to 7. As long as the martial arts drama passes the test, the overall level is still above the standard.

Long live the commercial film, why bother spending more money on it.

Now Duan Yining, the showman, used his unique skills to imitate the veteran's murderous intention by [-]% to [-]%.

That's why Shi Lei impatiently asked Chen Yiming if this was a trait of the character or the tone of the movie.

In the former case, Chen Yiming just adds a role to Duan Yining and a persona to the communications staff.

In the latter case, several veteran characters are required to embody some "realistic" commonality based on real battlefields.

It is equivalent to the entire movie, in addition to Liu Dongjun's growth line, there is an additional sub-line that depicts the characteristics of soldiers, scattered among each veteran who accompanies Liu Dongjun on his journey.

Relying on "performance art" such as training and shooting will definitely not achieve the goal. It requires the actor's own full perception, construction and presentation.

While Chen Yiming was concentrating on thinking, Shi Lei, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yu and Maodou exchanged glances repeatedly. They wanted to speak several times, but still swallowed the words on their lips.

Today's situation was a perfect opportunity. Chen Yiming had an idea and Duan Yining went to the room to take out the ladder. The two of them worked perfectly together to put several veterans on the wall.

It seems too cowardly to say that he can't act, but to ask Lao Duan to stop acting is even more cowardly. We are all actors of the same generation, who can say this?
In fact, except for the student soldiers, several main creators on the playground understood that Duan Yining's acting was somewhat "superfluous" and really unnecessary.

If the performance is done well, it means that the crew got an extra question right, and an extra 10 points will be added.

However, if you want to perform well, the actors and behind the scenes need to pay extra hard work and cost. A slight mistake will destroy the coherence of the entire film and slow down the filming progress. Not only will no extra points be gained, but 20 points will be deducted.

The risks are high and the returns are low, so it’s better to let Lao Duan take a break.
