Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 187: Better to be hit on the head

before this.

Jiang Wen felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Luo's image.

Now seeing him wearing military uniform, I couldn't be more satisfied.

Those words just now.

It was just a joke.

People like them are all very confident. No matter how tall, short, fat or thin they are, they all have their own unique charm. They would never be afraid of having their limelight snatched away by others.

Next.

Xu Jinglei explained to Li Luo the scenes to be filmed today.

After the heroine in the play gave birth to the writer's child, she chose to become a socialite in order to provide better material conditions for the child.

The officer named Huang, played by Li Luo, is one of the suitors who revolves around the skirt of the heroine. He has the closest relationship with the heroine and intends to provide her with stable living conditions.

It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us.

But the heroine happens to meet the writer again.

The love that continued from her youth had never died out, which made her choose to leave the officer and once again fly towards the raging fire like a moth.

And I will shoot it later.

The officer named Huang appears holding the heroine's child.

The clothes of these few people will be quite beautiful, which will form a sharp contrast with the poor people around them.

It is also described implicitly through the language of the lens.

If you lose your asylum.

The heroine and the child are just ordinary beggars on the street.

Although he was confused by what the other party said, Li Luo still cheered up and took what the other party said to heart. This was his first time acting in a movie, and it was an art film without any action scenes.

This is a great test for me.

Purely a test of acting skills.

He may not like the story, but he must bring out the emotions that the director requires.

The script has been rewritten many times.

Combined with what Xu Jinglei said, he still has some confidence.

With such proficient acting skills, even the leading male role can be handled, it just depends on the level. A supporting role like this is even more of a piece of cake. All he needs to do is distinguish the rhythm between acting in movies and TV shows.

Wait until Xu Jinglei leaves.

Li Luo came to the window and looked at the chaotic streets outside.

More than a hundred extras gathered together, listening to the assistant director's instructions.

Old man, beggar, officer, robe, suit.

There are all kinds of outfits.

Every expression was very serious. Even though they were just extras, many of them wanted to shine with their own brilliance.

Of course~
If only by blooming.

It would be great if you could become a big shot or a role actor.

Make big money!

"How about it?"

Jiang Wen walked over leisurely and handed Li Luo a cigar: "The first scene of the movie is a large group scene. Do you feel nervous?"

"Thank you."

Taking the cigar, Li Luo gently stroked the cut section with his fingers: "There should be some, I hope it can meet Old Xu's requirements, but I can't embarrass you, Brother Wen."

He blew on the cross section and bit it lightly with his teeth.

The sparking wheel turns.

Clouds of smoke came out of his mouth.

When the cigar was slightly lit, he skillfully turned it over and blew away the burning wrapper.

After all this operation.

The rising smoke swirled around him, and the sunlight that penetrated the window made the tiny dust particles swirling in the smoke appear before Jiang Wen's eyes, and the latter waved quickly at his assistant.

Taking the camera, he clicked the shutter button towards Li Luo.

"are you crazy?"

Li Luo held the cigar between his fingers and glanced at him.

"Click."

Jiang Wen took another picture of her profile.

"So handsome."

Playing with the Leica camera in his hand, Jiang Wen shook his head: "You have a pretty face, but you have a sense of movie camera. If I have the chance in the future, I will make you the leading actor in some movies."

"Come on, don't be polite."

Li Luo immediately struck a cool pose, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you think it's handsome, take a few more photos. I don't mind."

"Ha~"

Jiang Wen snorted proudly and moved the camera to shoot out the window: "Acting on TV is different from acting in movies. You have to retreat and act without leaving any traces. It's best to act close to life."

"But you have to remember this."

The camera is pointed at a girl with a nice figure, and he continues: "It's close to life, not like you live your normal life!"

“Don’t do too many small movements, and be good at using micro-expressions to convey emotions.”

“Movies aren’t like TV.”

“The simplest difference is the screen size.”

"The screen is big, and you can see every expression clearly. If there are too many small movements on the face, it will look very ugly, like a monkey show."

"You need to get into the role quickly. This refers to you and the audience."

He pressed the shutter and adjusted the focus: "The movie is only a little over a hundred minutes long, and every shot is crucial. It's not like acting in a TV show where you have plenty of time to get the audience into the story."

"As soon as the camera starts, you become the character."

“Instantly get into the mood and give a performance that convinces the audience that you are the character.”

"Don't do so much foreplay, just get straight to the point."

Facing the little girl dressed as a beggar, Jiang Wen continued to press the shutter, and kept sharing his understanding of film acting with Li Luo.

He knew that this little brother was quite capable.

I just haven't come into contact with it.

I'll just take the time to talk about it, and talk about whatever comes to mind.

I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly give me a lecture.

Even though everyone's performance style is different, as a movie emperor, TV emperor and famous director, Jiang Wen's understanding of acting is definitely worth learning and drawing lessons from.

Li Luo bit his cigar and nodded continuously based on his own understanding.

Bring each other's experience.

Transform it into nutrients for your own growth.

In just over ten minutes, the performance attribute in Li Luo's personal panel had quietly increased by several points.

"that's it."

Jiang Wen saw that everyone was almost ready, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Learn and understand on your own. This role is very simple for you, so don't think too much."

“Sometimes the simpler the mind, the better.”

"Even if you have hundreds of ways to act, sometimes it's not as good as a blow to the head from someone else!"

"Ah."

Li Luo flicked off the ash from his cigarette and nodded heavily:
"Thank you, Brother Wen."

Jiang Wen waved his hand to indicate that it was not worth mentioning.

After the extras below had finished their scenes several times, Xu Jinglei's voice rang out from the intercom on the table next to them: "Li Luo, Li Luo, the lighting conditions are good now, come down and take your positions."

"It will be turned on in a moment."

The two looked at each other and walked downstairs to the set together.

The aisle was crowded with people.

Unlike the blue sky, white sun flag fluttering weakly, the sunlight falls on the pedestrians, and one or two happy smiling faces can be seen from time to time.

As the crowd swayed, a tall figure quietly appeared in front of the camera.

Li Luo hugged the child holding the candied haws with one hand.

Walk forward with steady steps.

At the same time, he would make a few jokes from time to time and gently scratch the tender face with his fingers, making the child laugh heartily, and the crisp sound echoed far away in the street.

Although there were people in front and behind him, he became the focus of the crowd just by appearing on the stage.

One can't help but focus on him.

behind the monitor.

Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"CUT."

"Passed, prepare for the next one." Putting down the walkie-talkie, Xu Jinglei gave Li Luo a thumbs up.

She was prepared for a protracted war!
When TV actors act in movies, there is always an adaptation period and they need to adjust to different performance states, but Li Luo's natural performance made her feel particularly surprised.

I didn’t expect that I would pass the first shot so easily.

Even though it’s a very simple picture.

But it's amazing enough.

As she finished her words, the extras who were rushing around stopped instantly, and those who were arm in arm pretending to be a couple also quickly separated.

"The extras who just appeared on camera, please be more aware of yourself!"

Xu Jinglei grabbed the loudspeaker beside him and shouted to the front: "Go to the corners like we just rehearsed. Don't wander around in front of the camera. Adjust the camera position quickly. Don't be idle."

When she was seriously filming, this woman was quite charismatic.

At least one face is stern.

The entire crew was quickly dispatched.

Li Luo handed the child to the other parents, straightened his clothes, and quickly walked behind the monitor to watch the replay of the previous clip.

come here.

He no longer had a say.

At least we cannot make suggestions casually. The main thing is to see what the effect is.

"good."

Jiang Wen sat in the director's chair and waved his hand, saying, "If you can't get this shot, I will underestimate you. The next one is more difficult, so hurry up and get ready."

Judging from his appearance, it’s not wrong to say that he is a director.

Li Luo smiled.

Prepare for the next performance.

When filming, there are some troubles that the director and crew would like to avoid.

Children are often at the top of the list, because it is often difficult to figure out what is going on in their heads. They may be full of energy one moment, but suddenly lose energy the next!
This is also the reason why Jiang Wen said it is difficult.

Although the children in the play were old enough to talk, Li Luo still felt extremely troubled.

It took more than two hours to shoot these few simple scenes.

I forgot all the words and couldn't speak.

The entire crew was in a lot of trouble.

On the first day of filming the movie, Li Luo felt that it was a process of repetition over and over again, with the level of meticulousness several levels higher than that of TV. He also gradually adapted to this shooting rhythm.

Just like Jiang Wen said, try to convey emotions with your inner feelings.

Instead of leading the audience into the play through exaggerated expressions, actions and long lines of dialogue like on TV.

Filming during the day.

I didn't have any free time at night either.

The crew members gathered together and, under the guidance of the dance teacher, practiced the retro dance steps of the Republic of China era. There are several dance scenes in this movie, so they had to dance.

Fortunately, Li Luo has very good physical ability and can perform both ballroom dancing and cha-cha with ease.

Jiang Wen, who has a big and clumsy body, also showed off his wonderful dancing skills.

Everyone laughed at what they saw.

Li Luo's role was limited, so naturally the filming was concentrated.

After the dance was practiced almost to the point, the filming of the colorful dance scene took three full days. It was the first time for him to experience this kind of filming. There were no lines, and he just danced in various ways every day.

On the sixth day after joining the crew, Li Luo had a scene with Jiang Wen.

Also in the ballroom.

Following the assistant director's command, the extras began to dance on the dance floor, with the speakers playing music with a sense of the times.

Li Luo, wearing a military uniform, took Xu Jinglei's hand and walked to a table next to him.

Then he pulled out the chair politely so that the latter could sit down calmly.

"Hey, Captain Huang."

There was a soft cry from the table behind.

Next, it was Li Luo's turn to respond.

"Old Zhao."

Taking off his hat, Li Luo nodded slightly.

The person who greeted Xu Jinglei also noticed Xu Jinglei and greeted him as well. When the latter responded, he noticed Jiang Wen, who had his back to them, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

The whole person became a little bit at a loss.

Li Luo was unaware of this at the moment and put his military cap on the table in a serious manner.

He loosened his tightly tied bow tie slightly.

He breathed a sigh of relief calmly.

He performed a state of going from nervousness to relaxation. In addition, he sat very upright, giving people the feeling that he was always maintaining his demeanor.

In his heart, he created a character for himself.

When dancing, one is unrestrained.

And formal occasions.

Always so meticulous.

It is necessary to put the military norms and private indulgences into a framework with a sense of contrast, so as to make the character image more three-dimensional and try to show the charm of this small role.

Although the role is small, I must act carefully.

"Come on, come on."

The actor who played Lao Zhao walked over quickly and said with a grin, "Let me introduce you."

heard movement.

Li Luo finally turned his head.

Jiang Wen, who was sitting in the back with his back to them, stood up at the right time. This guy was wearing a black suit, his hair was slicked back with oil, he was wearing small glasses, and he had a half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

"Who is this."

When Li Luo stood up, Lao Zhao continued, "Mr. Xu Aiyou."

"I've heard a lot about you."

Li Luo held Jiang Wen's hand and smiled indifferently.

"This is Captain Huang."

Old Zhao kept introducing himself.

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Jiang Wen shook Li Luo's arm politely, his body straight.

After an introduction.

Everyone sat down.

Li Luo continued to recite his lines, telling the writer played by Jiang Wen that he had read the other's works. The latter also responded politely, and another actor came over and invited Xu Jinglei to dance.

This long shot was finally shot.

With a shout of "cut", the extras in the dance floor stopped one after another.

Waiting for the director's next instruction.

When Xu Jinglei was about to return to the monitor to watch the replay, he found that Li Luo was still holding the glass of red wine, sipping it with a frown.

"Is there anything wrong?"

She returned to the table and stared at Li Luo.

During these few days, Xu Jinglei found that this little brother's level was quite good. He could basically express all the emotions he wanted, and sometimes he would even give one or two small surprises.

Since he can play the leading role in hit dramas continuously, his professional level must be guaranteed.

so.

She didn't mind Li Luo giving some advice.

"There are some problems."

Li Luo hesitated for a moment and put the cup aside: "I feel that the picture just now is a bit unbalanced. It will be better if it is adjusted."

Oh~
The surrounding extras all turned their eyes over.

This guy is really bold.

At this time, all the supporting actors have to do is follow the director's instructions and finish the scene honestly!

"What's the imbalance?"

Jiang Wen also became interested and blew out a smoke ring: "We are not afraid of discussion. Since you have said it, give more details."

"how to say."

Li Luo smiled, raised his glass and gestured to Big Brother: "You need to hold back on that performance just now."

As soon as these words came out.

The surrounding extras all shifted their gazes.

This guy.

What a daredevil!
