When Mei Zihan rushed to the set the next day, there were still two dark circles around his eyes.
Fortunately, the scenes he was going to shoot today were all haggard and disheveled. His appearance saved the makeup artist a lot of effort, and he could start shooting directly after tidying up casually.
Mei Zihan was still struggling to digest the "trick" that Jiang Ying had stuffed into his head.
"What's wrong with you, you look so bad?" Wang Xiaoman looked at Mei Zihan worriedly, "I heard that you brought the script back, did you stay up late to read the script?"
"En." Mei Zihan replied with a wandering look in his eyes.
It was true that he stayed up late to read the script. Jiang Ying analyzed it word by word for him, but in addition to the original character design, he made a "new character design" for Xiao Wenwu.
"Although I know you haven't starred in a long time, don't put too much pressure on yourself in this kind of drama. This role is not very good." Wang Xiaoman patted Mei Zihan on the shoulder to persuade him.
On the one hand, she is very happy that Mei Zihan's male supporting role has become a regular, and he has the motivation to move forward again, but on the other hand, she is not worth it for Mei Zihan, because Xiao Wenwu can only be scolded if he plays the role well, which is definitely not good Role.
"It's okay, sister Xiaoman, don't worry, I understand." Mei Zihan's thoughts finally came back.
"Okay, everyone, get ready, let's start filming," the director clapped his hands, "Today we will try our best to shoot a few more scenes, everyone should go back early."
"One hundred and ninety-ninth game, ACTION!"
Mei Zihan changed into costumes and stayed in a dark and narrow room.
The actor who plays his captain is a middle-aged actor who is also a supporting role who has been playing tricks all year round.
"Captain, do you have any relatives?" Mei Zihan kept his head down, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was choked up.
Xiao Wenwu didn't look up, but everyone could know that he was crying now.
There is nothing in the script that Xiao Wenwu will cry, but it seems to be the right way to deal with it.
"In the school, the teacher always said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, but we who came to join the army, can we really shoulder this burden?" Mei Zihan raised his head, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and his face was full of surprise and embarrassment. anger.
Yes, anger.
He is not only angry at his own incompetence, but also hates the incompetence of this country.
But soon, this anger turned into sadness.
For an unarmed man like him, no matter how many people come, how can they compare with the enemy's artillery
Both of his parents had died, leaving only one elder sister, but the elder sister could not understand his difficulties. And the death of his cousin told him even more that the only relative he had left was actually not related to him by blood!
Can a sister who is not related to me by blood, and whose ideas do not agree with me, still be considered my sister
Xiao Wenwu seemed to be thinking about something, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.
His posture is very upright, the posture sitting at the desk is exactly the same as that of the students studying in the school.
"My relatives are almost dead. My parents told me about a daughter-in-law before, but my family is poor and they don't want to marry me." The actor answered scripturally, as if he didn't dare to look Xiao Wenwu in the eyes.
"Captain, I will definitely not be like you." Xiao Wenwu seemed to have made up his mind, but his face became surprisingly calm. At this moment, what he showed was no longer the arrogance of a teenager, but the stability of an adult.
People who have experienced the baptism of war are completely different from students who do not eat fireworks.
"It's not the same!" Xiao Wenwu emphasized again.
…
"Eh?" Wang Xiaoman watched from the sidelines, always feeling that something was wrong.
She looked down at her script again, and Mei Zihan was indeed right according to the lines in the script, and her performance was indeed in line with the character of the character and the situation of the occasion.
However, it seemed that there was a little more, but she couldn't say exactly what it was.
But Mei Zihan's performance in this scene was far better than before.
The director looked at the camera and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong, and even praised Mei Zihan well.
Mei Zihan is willing to play this unpleasant role with such cooperation, and his performance is remarkable. This is an affirmation of him as a director! If Mei Zihan had always performed so well, he would have finished work early today!
Screenwriter Zhang rubbed his chin with a complicated expression.
He can be regarded as the oldest character in the crew. He has been popular in several TV dramas before, and he has seen many excellent actors.
In just one day, Mei Zihan seemed to have been completely reborn. Although the handling was still a bit clumsy, compared to his past, it could almost be said to be heaven and earth.
The thin "Xiao Wenwu" in his script seemed to come alive from the paper.
Twenty-seven years old is still a beautiful age.
But what's the use
This circle is so realistic, you have mixed into the lower-level crew of this circle, and it is extremely difficult to climb up again.
Screenwriter Zhang shook his head, he felt that he was thinking too much.
After all, this is just a crew making quick money, and the most professional actor in the whole crew is probably only the heroine Wang Xiaoman.
During the noon break, Mei Zihan was still a little bit hungry.
He was still immersed in the performance in the morning.
Looking at the appearance of the screenwriter and director, it seems that there is nothing wrong with his filming. This also made Mei Zihan a little guilty. Did he meet Jiang Ying's requirements or not
But the director has no opinion, which proves that his acting is still qualified.
It is difficult to see a slight change in the performance of a scene, and the director did not shoot according to the normal order, so the possibility of seeing it is even smaller. But Mei Zihan still felt a little guilty.
But last night, Jiang Ying's words kept lingering in his mind, and Mei Zihan couldn't help acting out his words.
---last night---
Is this the strength of the students who graduated from the three ace film and television universities
If Jiang Ying were to do sales, I'm afraid the other salesmen would have nowhere to go.
"Xiao Wenwu's character is set in the script as a deserter because of fear, and he is extremely selfish. He wants to control his sister's life, and hopes that her life will live according to his ideas, but he has never considered her sister Xiao Lan's feelings. .His sister is illiterate and has always received traditional education, but she still has the beautiful qualities of a traditional woman. Later, because her sister's life is getting better and better, and his life is down, it becomes more and more extreme. In order to get Xiao Lan Do everything you can, and end up reaping the fruit.”
Jiang Ying briefly analyzed the role of Xiao Wenwu, "However, the transformation of this character is extremely blunt. The screenwriter did not give him a complete setting and opportunity for transformation, but a villainous character with a lot of gaps. .And these blank spots are where you can play tricks."
"Won't the scriptwriter and director find out about the manipulation?" Mei Zihan asked.
"If your director and screenwriter can find out, they will understand that your handling method is better, and they won't blame you. But I think the director of your crew may not be able to find out. Only a little change in one scene, many scenes in succession Getting up is the real change. But at that time, even if you find him, you have nothing to say. Besides, you haven’t changed a word of your lines, and how you perform it is completely up to you.” Jiang Ying laughed.
Of course, so what if we found out? He didn't think that Mei Zihan would have the opportunity to cooperate with such a crew in the future.
Who doesn't want their boyfriend's career to be better
"What I'm going to teach you next is what I want to tell you. You can act according to this point." Jiang Ying seriously urged, "The intention of a character will directly affect the way you act. Go and act it out."
"For example, in the scene we faced just now, the script only briefly stated that he was stimulated by his teammates and decided to become a deserter, but you can interpret it in another way."
"... Tell me, I'll listen." Mei Zihan was very curious about how Jiang Ying would change.
The next moment, Mei Zihan found that Jiang Ying's feelings for him had changed again.
"Captain, do you have any relatives?" Jiang Ying raised her head, her eyes seemed to contain countless emotions. The same lines in his mouth gave Mei Zihan a completely different feeling.
If the "Xiao Wenwu" performed by Mei Zihan fled because of fear of war, the "Xiao Wenwu" performed by Jiang Ying escaped because of "hate for war and powerlessness against oneself."
The same deserters, the former makes people feel hateful, but the latter makes people feel pitiful.
After all, Xiao Wenwu is only a young student, has never experienced war, and thinks that war is just a "two words" in a book.
In fact, if someone else is here, how many people can perform better than him
For the first time, Mei Zihan discovered that his performance was so clumsy, so difficult to catch the eye.
He hardly knew how to position his hands.
The previous self-confidence and pride were washed away by the heavy rain, and there was no trace of it anymore.
After Jiang Ying finished the same line, he almost forgot that this was just a rough and bloody thunder drama script, but it looked like a masterpiece with a large investment and meticulous craftsmanship.
This is Jiang Ying's ability, he gave this character a new life.
Mei Zihan's eyes were still fixed on Jiang Ying's body and could not be moved away.
Actor... Is it such a glamorous profession
