"In the early stage, I let you look at files, books and videos. This is a kind of observation. It goes directly into their lives. Looking at them at close range is also a kind of observation. Of course, observation alone is not enough. There are some things that you need to do. You You also have to learn to do it. For example, yesterday you went to fetch water and pull the stone mill. Did you feel the feeling of force? What you want is this experience. After you observe and do it, and when the camera captures it, these will be It's not from acting, it's from your muscle memory. When filming, you have to rely on intuition, but you also need to use your brain.
Do you know why you always felt ungrounded when filming in the past? He obviously acted according to the script and did a good job. For example, the script is designed to have you chatting with others in the company, and there is only an outline of the scene. Some fools will stand up straight, then the camera will rotate 360 degrees, and you will talk to the other person, is that true? If you are sitting on a swivel chair while talking, with a mouse in one hand and coffee in the other, is it better than standing up and talking? "
They come here not to have fun or relax, but to experience life. Everything follows the script. What was not in the script, they had read the archives before, and they did whatever the educated youth in the countryside at that time should do.
Even if they can't write the script, even if it's just a one-shot thing, they still have to learn to do it.
"You say you are an experientialist, then you think of yourself as that person. Not only do you have to become that person in your mind, but your whole person, from dress, clothing, behavior, movements, everything must be close to that person. Life. When the audience sees you, they will feel that you are a living character in the movie, completely natural, and there will be no sense of being in a drama at all."
Xia Siyu felt a sense of enlightenment.
All her previous movies were chick flicks, that is, modern urban Cinderella Mary Sue movies. For this kind of play, as long as it's fresh and pleasant, it can cry, laugh, and make trouble, and it's not too artificial, it's basically the same. The slightly more difficult one is "The Tempest". But the picture she took was of a dancing bar proprietress, who was closely involved in her life, and with Wang Ju's guidance, it was easy for her to take on the role of herself.
When it comes to acting skills, she's pretty good at it now. It's no problem to act in a romantic drama, but it's difficult to have more depth. She used to feel as if she had reached the ceiling, wanting to work hard but not knowing the direction. But Bo Yan, who has both theory and practice, led her to break the layer of glass, and she suddenly felt as if she had climbed up a floor.
The difference between ordinary actors and movie queens lies in these details.
All the classes she skipped in college were picked up again by Bo Yan now. But she is different now from the one who slept in class. If she relied on herself, it might take three, five, or even longer years to learn this. But Bo Yan's help made her instantly understand some of the subjects she was missing.
It is true that some actors have never even gone to college, but they are very talented and strive for their own success, and they quickly transition from box office poison to talented actors. But how many actors are there
There are more people who don’t even have talent and never work hard, trying to get by with just a face.
However, Xia Siyu still had doubts: "Then why did you come with me alone? Not even Jingjing Xiao Tang."
Bo Yanxiao: "Because I want to be alone with you."
