The executive director at the side was shocked when he heard what Gu Jiaer said:
"Director Gu?"
"Take the original sound?"
People around me were a little surprised. In recent years, there has been a trend in China to move closer to foreign countries. Not to mention television, movies are also gradually using the original sound instead of dubbing.
But most directors who can do that have great confidence in the actors' line delivery.
Many times the tension of voice is enough to influence the performance of an actor in a movie, and the appeal of voice is enough to enhance the audience's impression of the plot. The importance of voice actors can be imagined.
Even when Sun Qiming gave the role of Miss Zhang to Jiang Se after learning that she could speak French, it was not because he wanted to use her original voice, but just to make it easier to match the dubbing with her lip movements during post-production.
But at this time, Gu Jiaer actually wanted to record the original voice.
"She's just a newcomer." The executive director couldn't help but look at Gu Jiaer, somewhat skeptical of his spur-of-the-moment decision.
As soon as the words came out, the executive director knew he had said the wrong thing.
On the set, Gu Jiaer was the one who had the final say. His suspicion at this moment was enough to make Gu Jiaer, who had a bad temper, unhappy.
He was about to explain, but Gu Jiaer didn't even turn his head:
“So am I the director, or are you the director?”
No one around dared to speak again, and Gu Jiaer's expression eased a little. He gestured to the cameraman to pause, and then rewound the clip of Jiang Se reciting the lines.
Her voice in the headphones is beautiful and unique. She tells the story of the origin of Paris, and her face gives people an audio-visual enjoyment.
"There's nothing wrong with her voice, but using her original voice directly wouldn't be acceptable." Apart from the noise at the scene, her expression was calm and her tone was a little cold.
Even with a smile on his face, he gives people a cold feeling.
If it was just for visual enjoyment, there wouldn't be much of a problem, but Gu Jiaer still took off his headphones:
"Let her come."
There was a lack of enthusiasm in her tone, as if she was just reciting her lines mechanically, unable to ignite others' passion for Paris.
The cabin was filled with people and a lot of machinery. Even with the air conditioner on, it was still hot after standing for a while.
As soon as Jiang Se finished her lines, she saw the script supervisor waving at her, and she walked towards the direction where Gu Jiaer was.
"Director, is there something wrong with the lines?"
Jiang Se asked and Gu Jiaer shook his head. He had studied photography in France for a period of time in his early years and had some knowledge of French.
Her pronunciation was standard and her lines were no problem. "This time, Miss Zhang's role was to introduce Paris on the plane and arouse Wang Qianqian's expectations for Paris."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Se understood what Gu Jiaer wanted to express.
"You are a newcomer to the industry," Gu Jiaer said bluntly as he swept his eyes over her. "You are not stage frightened in front of the camera, and you don't evade your gaze. You can keep your composure, which is a good thing, but you seem too calm. You have to understand the meaning of an actor, which is to serve the play. You are a servant in the plot, not a place where you can shine and highlight your own style."
Jiang Se was stunned.
"If you want to infect others, you must at least mobilize your emotions and infect yourself first." Gu Jiaer saw her brows slightly frowned, and then continued: "You have good looks and have been coached by Zhang Jingan. You should understand that if you want to enter this industry, you can't just rely on your face."
There are many new people in the entertainment industry. Today, Jiang Se is more beautiful than the stars in the circle, and there will naturally be other outstanding newcomers tomorrow.
"Otherwise, even if you become popular, it's just fame, but without decent works, it won't last long."
He waved his hand and pointed to one side:
"Think carefully about how to recite the lines. Then recite them to me when you've figured it out."
After Gu Jiaer said this, everyone around him was a little surprised.
He seemed to attach great importance to this newcomer and was interested in giving her some advice.
Everyone in the crew looked at Jiang Se, and they all felt that this newcomer was somewhat lucky.
You have to know that in today's circle, although Gu Jiaer is not as good as top directors like Zhang Jing'an, he also has his own status.
His films have their own market, and with Gu Jiaer's name, there is a certain guarantee of box office success.
Many investors are willing to invest in his films. Except for the male and female protagonists and important supporting roles, the selection of most actors is still decided by Gu Jiaer.
Jiang Se's looks caught his eye, and if she appears a few times in Gu Jiaer's movies in the future, she will surely become popular.
“Thank you, director.”
Jiang Se naturally understood the meaning of Gu Jiaer's words. She bent down, stepped aside, and sighed silently.
Before this, she just regarded acting as a job. She entered this industry in the beginning because she didn't want to disrupt Jiang Se's original life. She thought that maybe one day if she woke up and turned back into Feng Nan, she would not cause much trouble to Jiang Se.
So when she was choosing a job in order to make her life less difficult, she first chose to enter the entertainment industry as Jiang Se originally wished.
From the very beginning, whether it was in Zhang Jingan's "Rescue Operation" or later on, everything she did to join the crew of "Fake It Comes True", was just as she told Dai Jia, because she was poor.
She does not worry about gains and losses. When facing the camera, she just does her job well, does not make mistakes, and does not seek fame.
But Gu Jiaer pointed out in one sentence that she was not in the play.
She was herself from beginning to end. The stewardess Miss Zhang she played just changed her costumes, but she was still herself.
Even if she can become famous for her beauty after the movie is broadcast, unless she doesn't enter this industry in the future, if she wants to stay in this industry for a long time, she can't play Jiang Se in every role instead of the people in the play.
Jiang Se frowned. Even though she entered the entertainment industry for tuition fees in the beginning, she didn't want to be seen as a vase.
She recited the lines softly, remembering what Gu Jiaer had said before, and muttered the lines to herself without caring that there were many people around her.
She memorized the lines by heart, and the more she memorized them, the more she understood what Gu Jiaer meant.
The lines she read were not contagious and could not arouse others' enthusiasm for Paris.
But what is infectious
As she recited, her voice gradually became softer.
She thought of Pei Yi.
"… The manor I bought is located in a village in Medoc, where grapes are planted. The style of the manor is mainly white, which you like. When you open the window in the morning, the sky is particularly blue. All you can see are vineyards, and the air you breathe is filled with the unique aroma of grapes." (To be continued)
