At 2:30 in the afternoon, the crew members who had had lunch basically returned to their respective posts.
The two actors who will be filming in the afternoon: Chen Minhao and Xing Xi are already in place, and they have already passed their lines twice.
Chen Minhao felt a lot of pressure for the afternoon performance.
On the one hand, in the afternoon he had to act opposite an experienced actor like Xing Xi. Xingxi has created countless classic characters. Now that I am getting older, I rarely accept scripts. It is estimated that only directors like Director Zhao can hire him.
On the other hand, the content to be performed in the afternoon is the scene where the master and the apprentice part ways. The performance is relatively difficult. After all, in some plots, Chen Minhao only needs to keep his face paralyzed. However, in this scene in the afternoon, Chen Minhao will express his emotions in every sentence. Emotional ups and downs.
After a while, Director Zhao raised the loudspeaker and said: "Come on, all units are ready."
"The 174th scene of "Bingdilian", the first time."
If Chen Minhao could feel that Zhang Chuanfeng was changing from Zhang Chuanfeng to Zhao Qingyang step by step when he was playing opposite Zhang Chuanfeng in the morning, then when he was playing opposite the veteran actor Xing Xi in the afternoon, the director shouted to all units to get ready, veteran actor Xing Xi Just entered the state.
Xingxi changed from a kind old man to Si Lezhang, a spirited and righteous leader with deep eyes.
Xiao Wangshu shouted heartbreakingly: "Master! You have already expelled the senior sister from the master, why do you still want to kill them all? Wouldn't it be better to let the senior sister take Bingdi Lian and retreat into the mountains and forests?"
Si Lezhang said without any doubt: "Your senior sister has made a big mistake. In the past ten years, both the righteous way and the evil way have been relatively restrained, so you have not experienced a war with the evil way. You don't know how cruel the evil way is. If you knew, then Definitely knowing that I made the right decision.
Xiao Wangshu asked with a serious look: "You said that senior sister made a mistake, what mistake did she make? Isn't it because she hid the Bingdilian to prevent the martial arts world from being devastated and the tragedy from happening again?"
Chen Minhao felt that he was being squeezed. This was the first time that Chen Minhao had such a feeling. On the one hand, it may be because of the suppression of the role's identity. Chen Minhao knew that the more important reason was the huge difference in their acting skills, which caused the pressure. play.
Pressure means when acting, the actor playing the opposite role is very strong and performs well, but his own weak strength leads to the decline of his character's presence.
"Stuck, no, do it again."
"Stuck, no, try again."
"Card."
"Ka, come again."
Chen Minhao was exhausted physically and mentally.
"Stop, take a break for half an hour. Teacher Xing, please talk about the play with Chen Minhao."
Chen Minhao breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, what bothered him more than being called out was that he couldn't figure out the reason every time he was called out.
Chen Minhao said seriously: "Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Xing."
Xing Xi changed from a righteous leader with deep eyes to a kind old man, and said: "No hurry, let me drink some tea first and slowly moisten my throat."
Xing Xi opened his thermos cup, and the fragrance of tea wafted out of it.
Xing Xi took a sip and said, "Tell me, what did Xiao Wangshu think when he said this?"
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "I don't think he is a person who is easily persuaded. He has his own preparations in his heart. Even though Si Yuezhang is the master who raised him, he has the ability to deal with such big issues of right and wrong. He has his own opinion in his heart. So he will not be swayed by a few words from his master, but he also attaches great importance to respecting his master and respecting his teachings. So I think he only has pain in his heart and no entanglement."
Xing Xi nodded and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with your understanding. Just think about what you just said and act out that line."
Chen Minhao brewed his emotions for half a minute.
"You said that senior sister made a mistake. What mistake did she make? Isn't it because she hid Bingdilian to prevent the martial arts world from being devastated and the tragedy to happen again?"
Xing Xi shook his head and said, "Chen Minhao, the emotion you expressed is not right. After he listened to what Si Yuezhang said, his tone should not be a tone discussing the right or wrong of an issue, because this matter has nothing to do with you. It is closely related to your senior sister, so you need to add more emotions."
Chen Minhao tried again.
Xing Xi still shook his head and said, "Chen Minhao, you are too emotional. You have to remember that Xiao Wangshu's character is that he will not change his face even if the mountain collapses in front of him."
Xing Xi thought for a while and said: "I think there is no problem for you to understand the script, but you can't convey the understanding in your heart. You have to remember that performance is just a way of artistic expression. Performance is to understand what you understand." The character’s inner thoughts and emotions are conveyed to others.”
"When conveying the content of your heart through body language, language and demeanor, some people are of high level and the information conveyed is accurate, but some people are of low level and the information conveyed is inaccurate or a lot of information is lost. At this level, It’s just acting.”
"All means used in performance, such as changes in tone, expression, and movements, are all ultimately intended to convey information."
"When you were acting opposite Zhang Chuanfeng in the morning, I was watching from the side. You asked Director Zhao what you didn't do well in your acting. I think you really want to improve your acting skills. Director Zhao mentioned the problem with your eyes. Finally, I can feel from your eyes that you still have a certain talent for acting. This is why I want to talk to you more."
"It's a bit far-fetched. When you say this, you'd better not look at me, because Xiao Wangshu has already made a decision in his heart, and he feels a little guilty. However, your tone should be firmer, especially 'She has What's wrong' you have to reread, because he will definitely try to convince his master."
Chen Minhao nodded, performed the movements according to Xing Xi's instructions, and passed the test in one go.
Chen Minhao knew that such an approach would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so as soon as the performance ended, he immediately asked Xing Xi for advice.
"Teacher Xing, are there any ways to improve the accuracy of the information conveyed by my performance?"
Xing Xi thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, I think there are two situations for actors with good acting skills. One is that they are more talented and can naturally convey the feelings they want to convey to the audience. The other way is Systematic learning. Because acting skills cannot be explained clearly in a few words, only through systematic learning can we master them."
He patted Chen Minhao on the shoulder and left.
The day after tomorrow was Chen Minhao's birthday, and Kang Hui had already greeted Director Zhao early, so as soon as Chen Minhao's performance ended, He Qiyan drove Chen Minhao back to Shanghai to prepare for the birthday party.
