Full-time actor

Chapter 17 [17] Acting skills that can be remembered!

"Yes, I have acted!"

Chen Yu has nothing to hide. In front of a director, the last thing an actor can hide is his acting skills.

A good director is the seasoning agent for an actor and can infinitely raise his ceiling.

This is mutual achievement.

He can capture an actor's strongest point and give him unlimited possibilities in movies; for example, Wang Jiawei, Tony Leung in his movies, has a variety of styles. No one can imagine that Tony Leung can look like this.

The fun in "The East Comes the West", the loneliness in "Chungking Express", the profound melancholy in "In the Mood for Love"...

However, in fact, Liang Chaowei is a very social and introverted person in reality.

This is the charm of directing.

Of course Chen Yu acted like this on purpose. He believed that his acting skills could not be hidden from the director's eyes in front of the monitor.

For a director who works with monitors every day, he can actually pay attention to every detail of the monitor.

There is a huge difference between having acting skills and not having acting skills.

To give a very simple example, do the actresses in md Media have acting skills that can be seen at a glance, let alone a director who is in contact with actors every day?
  If you show off a little bit, he will know whether you can act.

The body, the performance, the movements... can be seen in many places.

So that sentence is right, you should not use your amateurism to challenge the other person's professionalism.

Performance, strictly speaking, has a threshold.

"How did you become an extra?"

Jiana Shahati looked at Chen Yu in surprise.

At this time, many of the extras around him breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all looked at the director with complicated eyes and shouted "the initiator"!
  This guy actually attracted the attention of the assistant director?
  How many extras have never had such an opportunity in their lives, but this newcomer actually did it on the first day?

"I'm too young, I'm afraid no one will believe me, so..."

Chen Yu shrugged, and Jiana Shahati thought for a moment without going into details.

"You come out first!"

Jiana Shahati greeted Chen Yu, and only then did Chen Yu see what she looked like.

A very pretty young woman.

Just looking at the other person, you would never guess that the other person is actually a director?
  And with this kind of appearance, one can easily tell where she is from at a glance; later generations of Nazha and Reba all have this kind of mixed-race three-dimensional face shape.

xj people!
  Chen Yu had no choice but to walk out of the set obediently.

"continue!"

"Fill the vacant station!"

Jana Shahati spoke to everyone, and then returned to the monitor.

The field recorder immediately walked out and started playing again.

The scene just now was filmed a second time.

This time, the shoot apparently went smoothly.

Chen Yu saw the scene of a protest similar to that in "Toward a Republic" in his previous life. However, the live scene was undoubtedly much richer and would definitely need to be edited later.

"Keep one!"

"Let's shoot it again!"

Jana Shahati picked up the speaker and spoke. At this time, the location assistant Guo Chenyu didn't know who told him that something happened during the filming, so he came to the filming scene in a panic.

Seeing Chen Yu standing aside, his expression suddenly became more panicked.

"what's wrong with you?"

He asked Chen Yu in a low voice. Of course Chen Yu knew what this guy was here for, so he said, "Just ask the director directly!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Ask the director?"

Not to mention Guo Chenyu, his boss Wang Lai didn’t even dare to be nagging the assistant director!
  The set manager may sound like a big figure in the crew, but in fact, let alone the assistant director, he doesn't even dare to offend the director's assistant.

This crew is like a company, the investor is the chairman, and the director is the CEO!

At most, he can be regarded as a logistics supervisor.

Assistant director, that is obviously the general manager level.

Although Jana Shahati seems to be in her 30s, she is indeed the assistant director of "Toward a Republic", and her qualifications may be even more impressive than Zhang Li's.

Because she has a strong background.

Although Zhang Li will be a great person in future generations, he is actually under a lot of pressure right now.

"Toward a Republic" is the first time he directed a TV series in his life. He had directed movies before, but unfortunately they were banned.

After that, he became the photographer of several famous directors.

After all, Zhang Li is a serious photographer by background. He graduated from the Photography Department of Nortel. He is a classmate of Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuang, and Gu Changwei, and is in the same class.

We were still in the same dormitory as Lao Mouzi and Gu Changwei.

And the most powerful person in this dormitory is not Lao Mouzi, but Zhang Huijun.

The future director of BJ Film Academy.

Not surprisingly, I will take up the post next year.

So entertainment is a circle, and there are circles within circles, and behind them are complex relationships and human connections. Zhang Li's background is very strong in this way, but it is limited to the film and television industry.

Jana Shahati, that's political. How dare Wang Lai ask her something?

On the first day that Guo Chenyu came to the crew, he knew who on the crew was not easy to mess with and who he couldn't afford to offend.

This female director is the one at the top who can't afford to offend.

Therefore, he now also hates Wang Lai. Why does he have to arrange this boy for himself?

Without arrangements, how could things happen now?
  "For a while, take the initiative to admit your mistakes, you know?"

Guo Chenyu gritted his teeth and said to Chen Yu. Chen Yu was a little funny. This guy is really following the trend!

In front of the group leader and extras, he was arrogant and put on a bad air; in front of the assistant director, he was so scared?

Of course, Chen Yu met many such people in his previous life.

There are many people like this in the crew.

If you have a little bit of power, you can use it whenever you see someone.

He was afraid that others would not know his identity.

"OK, let's take a break!"

"We'll move on to the next one in 15 minutes!"

Jana Shahati sat in front of the monitor and made a tsk sound, as if she was not satisfied with the filming. However, the current filming progress of the crew is too slow. Many of the leading actors have been filming for more than half a year and have no time to go home.

The performance artist Wang Bing who plays Li Hongzhang is 70 years old. He lost more than 20 kilograms during the filming of this drama and also suffered from a serious illness.

Director Zhang Li has been pushing the progress, so there is nothing he can do about it. For some seemingly unimportant scenes, Jana Shahati will just go through them as long as they feel they are about the same.

According to her past filming habits, it would be impossible for her to do this.

Just in the section just now, the group of actors who burst out with lines at the beginning always had some flaws in their performance.

The rhythm of the lines, the performance of the body...

But it is difficult to expect a Japanese major student to perform well; but for such a role, it is not cost-effective to go to RB to find an actor specifically.

The crew also needs to control costs.

"Forget it, that's it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

Jiana Shahati rubbed her temples, stood up, and saw Chen Yu standing beside her.

I almost forgot about it.

"director!"

Seeing Jiana coming over, Guo Chenyu hurriedly shouted.

"You recruited?"

Jiana asked casually, and Guo Chenyu quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's Wang Chang, the person Wang Chang recruited!"

"The king is coming?"

"I remember you were not in charge of the extras?"

Jiana knew about Guo Chenyu, and Guo Chenyu immediately smiled bitterly: "Yes, I recruited the extras, but he was contacted by Wang Chang from the group leader outside. He seems to be able to speak some Japanese. In two days, it won't be——"

"Japanese?"

When Jiana heard this, her eyes immediately changed, and she looked at Chen Yu in surprise: "Can you speak Japanese?"

"Well, yes!"

"Wang Chang has just found a Japanese to test me!"

As soon as Chen Yu said this, Jiana was obviously even more surprised: "Come on, say a few words, oh, wait a minute, Xiao Guo, go and call Junko over!"

Junko is the name of the character in the play. She is actually the Japanese translator of "Toward a Republic" and her name is Ichikawa Asako.

Jiana really couldn't find anyone, so she roped in her to make up the numbers. Unexpectedly, this girl acted quite well.

After a while, a girl with a round face was brought to Jiana by Guo Chenyu.

"director!"

Ichikawa Asako speaks fluent Chinese, which is obviously many times better than Ishino Koji.

"Test his Japanese skills!"

Kana pointed at Chen Yu, and Ichikawa Asako looked at Chen Yu curiously. Without hesitation, he blurted out: "あなたはRB语ができます [Can you speak Japanese?]"

……

A minute later, Jiana stared dumbfounded at the two people chatting animatedly.

Ichikawa Asako and Chen Yu talked in Japanese throughout the whole process. It was like they had met in a foreign country and they couldn't stop chatting.

During this period, the sound of Ichikawa Asako's giggle could also be heard.

Chen Yu actually made the other party laugh?
  “You’re so fluent in Japanese, but you can also act?”

Jana Shahati's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Chen Yu's impressive look in his first scene kept flashing in her mind.

This is an acting skill that people will remember.

It can't be compared to those extras who are pulled in temporarily to make up the numbers.

"Did you watch the scene we just filmed?"

Jiana Shahati suddenly asked Chen Yu.
