Yang Xiuya looked at Yang Can with some doubts, why did he come? This proposal made Yang Xiuya feel unwilling to admit defeat. It was a burst of actor's self-esteem.
Baghding thought about it for a moment. He wasn't sure about the intention of Yang Can's proposal, but it did sound a bit interesting. Besides, he had already heard the provocative meaning in Yang Can's words, so he questioned my professional judgment? This makes this old professor who has a high reputation in the college a little bit unable to come to Taiwan.
"Well, you two replayed your own roles separately, without supporting roles and no real objects." Baghddin finally agreed to this proposal, and asked his assistant to turn on the recording camera again.
Christina twisted her waist and gave Yang Can a disdainful look. She grabbed the $500 from him and stuffed it into her jeans. She jumped onto the stage with great momentum and said, "I'll come first."
Everyone immediately stepped aside and waited with bated breath, and saw the blonde stage actor starting her wonderful performance, which was still the explosive performance of Queen Jiang from the previous period.
Just look at Christina's lines, cursing and accusing in the air, anger, ridicule, and even dancing, just like those mentally disordered people on the street. If you haven't seen the performance just now, you don't know what she is doing. .
Colonel Kent wrinkled his forehead like railroad tracks, and asked Han Ting next to him: "What the hell is she doing?"
"This is a one-man show with no opponents. It uses yourself as the protagonist to simulate the situation just now, so all the emotional dialogue rhythm must be grasped by yourself. It is a very, very difficult technique."
Han Ting took a deep breath, and even used two special training methods. It is said that this is a technique commonly used by Dustin Hoffman, who has reached the pinnacle of acting.
The actor has to write down the dialogue, plot, emotion, and reaction of all the characters in a scene by himself, so that the performance can be successfully completed. The difficulty is conceivable, and almost no one in China adopts this method.
Christina only read the script for a few minutes and performed it again, and she was able to perform such a one-man show in the slightest, which really made Han Ting feel ashamed.
The students in the audience couldn't help but show admiration, and they really deserved to be the top students of Owen College, so she couldn't be bothered by this.
After Christina's performance, everyone burst into applause and applause. Professor Baghding nodded in satisfaction, looked at Yang Can's direction, and thought, how, even if you have a problem, it won't be difficult for my students.
Tsui Hark "touched" his chin with his hands, as if he felt something, thinking but didn't say anything.
When it was Yang Xiuya's turn to come on stage, I saw her walking to the stage to see her. Chu Chu knelt down on the ground pitifully, bit her lip and responded sadly to the air: "It's the queen empress..."
This scene was originally a conflict scene in which Queen Jiang scolded Daji at the banquet. Although Yang Xiuya was just kneeling on the ground, she was unwilling to feel wronged and ashamed, but her eyes showed no doubt.
Before, Christina was indeed very "sexy", but during her performance, you will only see her own excitement and notice her as a person. When her lines are finished, there will be a blank space. Everyone only Will want to jump over this gap quickly.
Yang Xiuya is completely different. Although she doesn't have the explosive power of Christina, she has a special drama. When there is dialogue, you can feel her respect and awe for the queen in her tone. When she speaks After that, when kneeling on the ground being scolded by the "virtual queen", not only can everyone feel her shame from her slightly flushed face, but also from her fingers gently pinching the skirt corners and trembling slightly. Feel her unwillingness and resentment in her heart.
Daji's eyes were not easily noticed and floated to the front to the right with a hint of help, which was exactly where King Zhou was sitting.
The audience on the stage, Professor Baghding and Christina, were all firmly attracted by her. Although Yang Xiuya was on the stage alone, kneeling quietly on the ground, they seemed to be able to "see Queen Jiang, who scolded Daji, could also "hear" the cold snort of the flustered and displeased King Zhou.
Both Xu Hark and Shi Nansheng's reactions gradually turned into relish.
Yang Can connects to Yang Xiuya's consciousness energy remotely from the stage, closes his eyes and enjoys it all. No one in this world knows Yang Xiuya better than him. Those who see her bright and beautiful image on the screen will admire her. In life, her clothes and hairstyle will become the target pursued by young people, and even her slightly arrogant attitude is regarded by fans as "sex" and imitated.
Only oneself can understand that, peeling off these, Yang Xiuya is just a very ordinary person. The arrogance in her bones comes from the emotional paranoia, and the arrogance in her mouth is the protective shell of the fragile heart.
Since she was a child, she has lived in an ugly real world controlled by others, full of intrigue, her appearance, and the talents of this national elf are all cruelly squeezed by the closest people around her.
Yang Xiuya meant that the energy is so crystal clear, she should have been suitable to be an artist, a poet, and not belong to this circle divided by interests, but she has already entered and can only struggle desperately not to be contaminated by these things.
Therefore, she resisted all those who wanted to approach her with her pretend appearance. She was as proud as she had a branded inferiority complex in her heart. Yang Xiuya was actually full of insecurities. She didn't believe who was not around Want to covet her beauty, or benefit from her.
Only in the world of drama, in this wonderful virtual world, in this world that belongs to her completely, can she feel pure happiness.
In the world she created, she can be assured of associating with her "good friend", without even knowing him or understanding and establishing relationships. The script says yes, yes.
Even in drama, there are sentimental moments, but for her, it is also a very comfortable and safe world. In the drama, she doesn't have to worry about career, conflicts in life, or harassment.
Even if you are poor in the drama, you feel safe and poor, because the role in the world here is not harmful to the sex, everything can be mastered, even life and death can be mastered, the drama is cute, and Real life is very different.
Even if today's filming of the role of father in the play is going to be "dead", everything has been arranged long ago, and she doesn't need to think too much about the emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy for her. She can face it calmly.
When many art masters have reached a certain stage of creation, they will say one sentence: "Don't be crazy, you won't survive." What they pay attention to is an investment in art.
Now Yang Xiuya on the stage is in such a crazy state as seen by outsiders. She doesn't need any actors at all. She can already "see" and "hear" what the other party is saying. She can fully remember the opponent's dialogue. She understands what the other party wants to say, how she feels and reacts, and she also understands the opponent's feelings and reactions.
Yang Can links her consciousness, and can only use one word to describe her current feeling, happiness.. A pure and pure happiness, Yang Xiuya sway freely in this virtual world, light and elegant, no one can restrain her .
At the moment when Yang Xiuya bowed after the performance, most people didn't understand it. They only thought that Yang Xiuya performed well, but it was still not as impressive as Christina's.
In silence, suddenly Baghddin and Tsui Hark gently patted their palms at the same time, showing an expression of appreciation.
Yang Can walked to the stage and smiled at Yang Xiuya. The national elf "touched" her knees and numb her legs, and hummed: "You are troublesome. Use me to make other girls' money."
Yang Can walked up to the blonde beauty who hadn’t understood the situation, and took a straight hand. Christina didn’t see it clearly. She felt that her purse was empty. Yang Can took out all one thousand dollars from her red purse. , Then threw the wallet back to her, smiled and said, "Thank you~"
"You bastard~!" Christina took the wallet, but she felt so sorry for her thousand dollars, and rushed up to grab the money from Yang Can's hand and shouted, "I won, obviously~! Why are you? Take my money!"
Yang Can couldn't help but frowned slightly, took the blond beauty's wrist with one hand, and pinned the hand behind her back with a gentle twist, using a gripping posture to subdue the temperamental American girl, and it hurt her." ouch!" Just shouted.
The group of American boys in the stands watched their companions being bullied by a Chinese, and suddenly became angry one by one, directly yelling and rushing up.
"Asshole~! Let Christina~!" A few muscular white and black boys came up to beat someone.
Professor Baghding yelled: "Naughty~!" He stood in front of Yang Can: "Have you forgotten where this is!?"
The boys were yelled at by the old professor, and they were quite honest. Yang Can pushed the blond chick beside him to the little guys.
I don't know that even though Christina's hand was choked by Yang Can, she still came over to Yang Can reluctantly and shouted at Yang Can: "No, you give me my money quickly~!"
Professor Baghding finally held back and shook her head and pulled her: "Christina, you have already lost the one-man show just now, and that is what he deserves."
"What did you lose!?" The blonde girl couldn't accept this fact at all. Was the professor "stunned" by this beautiful Chinese woman? It was said that she lost to the other party. In the performance just now, the other party's explosive power was much worse than hers~!
"What did I lose to her~!?"
There was a low voice from the audience: "The rhythm of your performance has lost to her."
When the crowd looked over there, they saw a gray-haired man in a jacket sitting in the auditorium speaking in unstandard English.
"When Yang Xiuya performed Daji, it was an overall performance. The rhythm was fast and slow, and the ups and downs were very smooth. When she was quiet, she was able to present a quiet posture, giving the initiative to the other party and setting off the other party. Although the explosive power is not strong, the control of the details can be called precise, creating a natural change between the high and low levels of Da's self, and the transformation of the surface and inner emotions.
And although your emotional explosiveness is good, you have always maintained a rhythm, without obvious ups and downs, and the tension is greatly lost to her. "
There is no lack of American students who are surrounded by Chinese Kung Fu movies. Some people screamed. Obviously, the appearance of this film director surprised everyone.
"Isn't that director Tsui Hark in Hong Kong!?"
"Director Tsui Hark? Is it famous~?" "Idiot, a master of kung fu movies~!"
After the "Sorrow", Tsui Hark's sharp remarks also caused everyone to fall into a period of contemplation. Christina immediately ran to the computer, replayed the previously recorded video and started to compare, slowly changing from unwillingness to surprise.
Although Yang Can doesn’t quite understand all the professional content of Xu Ke’s words, he knows what happened. From the energy point of view, the energy in a scene of a scene is not high, mainly to see whether all the actors are Can maintain a high-energy state, which means that an average value is taken.
It’s like Christina’s one-man show just now. When she talked, her energy stayed above 500, but when she turned to talk to the other person, her static performance energy was relatively loose, and her energy dropped directly to around 220. When the "color" appears in the dynamic, but the chain is dropped when it is still, then the energy presented in the scene of this scene is only about 360.
But Yang Xiuya is different. In that action, every line is used properly and maintains a very reasonable rhythm. A scene is so eye-catching, the energy is maintained at a very stable level anytime and anywhere, and the average energy is very relaxed. The ground is over 400.
Therefore, if any expert makes an overall assessment, Yang Xiuya is definitely better.
Why didn't Christina show this shortcoming when the four people performed together before? The answer is also very simple. The reason lies in Yang Xiuya and Lu Zibo. When they speak lines, the energy is spreading. They unconsciously make a link with Christina, which strengthens her energy.
When the audience looks at the past, they will think Christina is very dazzling, which is equivalent to the cooperation of holding and teasing in cross talk performances. Whether it is Han Ting or Lu Zibo, both holding and teasing are handy, and Christie Na would only be praised as teasing.
Just as in the cross talk, it’s indispensable to hold and tease, Christina’s superb explosiveness also requires human cooperation. That is to say, on the big screen, it is undoubtedly Christina’s strength to play "opposing scenes" when he meets Lu Zibo's acting skills. .
But once she encounters a close-up one-act scene where she is only acting alone, her flaws are revealed.
Therefore, this type of actor, no matter how good she plays, can only be a supporting role, and the problem is that she is too explosive, and easily overwhelms the protagonist. This is the director’s most taboo, which causes Christina to not be able to take a suitable role. "Lose" is an embarrassing situation.
But Yang Xiuya is different. She is like a decathlon player. Not only can she be a fan and tease, but she also does not need others to cooperate with her. She can complete an overall performance by herself, even when her consciousness energy is unfolded. When it is time, it can also be full of other characters and scenes in the whole picture.
In this way, the whole consciousness energy will be high in the lens.
Although Yang Can’s perspective is different from these professionals, the truth is the same. After Yang Can let the two perform separately, senior filmmakers like Baghddin and Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, it is not difficult to see the way.
The American students in the auditorium were all whispering, and arguing voices came from time to time, as if they had mixed praise and criticism for Tsui Hark's words.
Huang Wendao's three "interrupted" class students watched the competition next to them, feeling that they had benefited a lot, and nodding their heads, as if they had learned a lot about the so-called "natural" performance with a sense of hierarchy. The three began to gesture It seems that I adjusted my voice and intonation and practiced in the corner.
***
After this incident, Tsui Hark finally agreed to Yang Xiuya as the lead actor in this movie. The problem now is that Tsui Hark is satisfied with Yang Xiuya, but Yang Can still feels a little insufficient.
On the other hand, the market degree of Tsui Hark’s adaptation of the script is also deeply worried by Mai Weijian.
"It is too difficult for ordinary Americans to accept a Chinese myth. American blockbusters can reflect well in China. That's because the Chinese understand the culture of the United States, but the Yankees don't understand China. There are many of them. I thought that China, Vietnam, and Thailand are not much different."
Shi Nansheng and Tsui Hark’s opinions are also quite the same. Although they are a bit risky, they have to try the water if they are going to shoot. In the movie industry, innovation is originally a big risk. Who can say whether new themes can be big? Selling, after all, although Chinese films have encountered countless Waterloo in the United States, there are also turnarounds like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero".
"This is not a small investment. We can't make a sample film for those distribution companies and let them give some market-oriented advice." Shi Nansheng, a senior filmmaker, sighed to explain their difficulties.
Hollywood has always been a place where data is the king. Everything is subdivided. When film box office judges, if the quality is good but the subject matter is special, market analysts usually use actors and directors as the main basis.
Every professional manager has a "brochure" in his hand. The best grade in Hollywood is a grade, which is the most mainstream star, director, screenwriter, and producer, such as Johnny Depp and Michael Bay. The most popular star in the category, Jackie Chan Wu Yusen once boarded this list.
Next is the b level. This level is quite a person with a certain market appeal. Jet Li, who once developed in Hollywood, has always belonged to this level.
And in the "pamphlet" of these professional managers, what is the level of the main creators of "Feng Shen Bang" this time? According to the list of actors, the highest is the c+ of Chow Yun-fat and Tsui Hark, and Yang Xiuya can barely enter the c-. Others, including the producer, Yang Can, have not entered the "pamphlet" of the professional manager of Hollywood at all. in.
Generally, a-level film investment is generally recognized as an investment of more than 40 million US dollars, a b-level film is between 20 million and 40 million, and a c-level is a small investment of less than 20 million.
Yang Can now uses a non-inflowing configuration to match the investment quota of b+. This is extremely absurd in the eyes of other people in the United States, and no one will give a positive evaluation at all.
Looking at his frowning colleague, Yang Can spit out his cigarette easily: "Without the analysis of those people, let's just use the market judgment, and modify the script based on the market's reaction."
"What do you mean?" Everyone did not understand.
