I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 160 Silence of the entire crew!

"Is this... acting?"

Li Wei whispered to Yang Yang. She couldn't help but look at Chen Jin several times.

too frightening.

How can a person walk into a dressing room and then come out with such a big change in temperament, expression, movements, etc.?

It's like they are two completely different people.

Although this is the result of makeup and props, the similarities in appearance and temperament still give completely different perceptions.

"I do not know!"

Aren't you making things more difficult for me by asking me, a newbie, such questions?

Yang Yang was actually quite amazed, but he thought that his acting skills would not be able to reach that level.

"Maybe in some aspects, I look very similar to that person, and when I put on makeup, it magnifies the effect!"

"impossible!"

Li Wei is not like Yang Yang. She spent a whole day with Chen Jin yesterday. Although the two didn't talk much, girls are naturally sensitive and she was still very concerned about Chen Jin's every word and action.

Yang Yang is like an ice cube. He follows the procedures and spends the rest of the time looking at his phone.

Li Wei took the opportunity to chat with Chen Jin.

"I was following him around yesterday, and it didn't feel like that at all!"

“That must be showmanship!”

"So strong, I really can't imagine..."

Li Xi felt that Chen Jin was more and more amazing. The image she had yesterday was completely different from the image she had now. When she was filming Dream of Red Mansions, she was actually not very good at acting. It was Li Shaohong and the acting teacher who honed her skills scene by scene.

The reason why she played the role of young Xue Baochai fairly well was thanks to her opera foundation since childhood.

She grew up wearing theatrical costumes, so she has a natural advantage in ancient costumes.

This is a true-to-life performance that other actors don't have.

According to the understanding of the role in opera, Li Wei can still grasp Xue Baochai's love for little girls, but if she were asked to play an urban beauty, it might be completely out of place in the play, as this is not her forte.

Therefore, even in the future, many of the roles played by Li Wei that the audience will remember are her ancient costume looks.

Because she is really suitable.

Li Jin may have no problem with body shape, voice, and lines, as she has been thoroughly influenced by Kunqu Opera in this aspect, but the only thing she lacks is performance. So now seeing Chen Jin like this, she feels from the bottom of her heart that a peer like her should be considered a very good performer.

"Sister Xiaowan said that Chen Jin has a strong background. I think he was chosen to play the role because it fits the role well, right?"

Li Wei couldn't help but say something.

Yang Yang put his hands in his pockets and shook his head: "Who knows!"

He felt a little unhappy, probably because he felt very inferior seeing Chen Jin like this.

Li Xi, however, sat there like a little girl, with her elbows on her knees, her long eyelashes fluttering, staring at Chen Jin who was standing with Han Sanpin without blinking.

The script didn't describe what the male lead was like, only his lines.

But Li Wei felt that this was just the way Chen Jin was.

He is full of energy and vigor, there is a certain charm in his smile and light in his demeanor.

When I was 18, my surroundings were in ruins, but I still had a firm belief in hope for the future.

"You'll pretend to have a haircut later, so show an outline in the mirror first!"

“And then when the camera pans over, that close-up shot is so important!”

"You know, that feeling at that moment!"

"Don't be nervous, just give it a try and try to finish the shoot today!"

Han Sanpin said to Chen Jin beside him.

After saying a few words and taking a look, his eyebrows were raised, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait to try out Chen Jin's first scene.

Li Xuejian next to him also came over with a smile on his face. He looked at Chen Jin and found it impossible to compare him to the third brother in "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

It's like two different actors altogether.

No one would associate the person in front of them with the third brother.

So different.

It's definitely not a feeling that an actor can portray.

"Before, I thought that you played Lao San in your true colors. Director Zhang told you about the character, so you acted so well!"

"Teacher Xi's performance changed my opinion!"

"Now, it's different again..."

Li Xuejian smiled in a hoarse voice and said to Chen Jin who was sitting there preparing.

Chen Jin didn't say anything, but was brewing his emotions before the filming began.

"Okay, Chen Jin and Teacher Wu, enter the set and get ready to start filming!"

"Let's try it first and walk for a while!"

After the entire set was set up, Han Sanpin was shouting with the walkie-talkie in hand.

This was Chen Jin's first scene after joining the crew, and the actor who acted with him was Wu Jun, a national first-class actor.

The Sandezi in the second part of "The Secret History of Kangxi" is the second generation Sandezi mentioned on the Internet.

This is the only scene in the entire "The Founding of a Party" where he plays the role of a barber, shaving off the Qing Dynasty whip for the male lead. Now Chen Jin has a fake braid and is sitting there with disheveled hair, while Wu Jun is standing in front of the table, ready.

It was just an ordinary scene, performed by a national first-class actor, and his condition made him like a different person when he entered the set. Although Chen Jin was also an actor, his performance was not as natural as Wu Jun's.

“Don’t stress, relax!”

"Your feeling is right..."

Wu Jun spoke to Chen Jin, who nodded and his body gradually relaxed.

This is the case with actors acting opposite each other. Just by chatting casually, the two of them will be in perfect condition.

"start!"

Han Sanpin's voice fell and the clapperboard was clapped.

Wu Jun's spirits suddenly rose, and he picked up a razor on the table with great skill, and danced with the knife on his hand.

With just this one action, the role of the barber was instantly established.

If you can't do the job, don't take on the job.

It is obvious that Mr. Wu is skilled in this field. A barber makes a living by shaving people's heads every day, so he must be very familiar with the technique.

Swish-whoosh-swish…

He held the razor and swung it on the chisel cloth to keep it sharp. The lines came out clearly from his mouth: "Thinking back then, when Shunzhi was on the throne, he had to have a braid to have a good life~~"

"At that time, our business was very good~~咥咥咥~~"

Wow!
After he finished sharpening the knife, he casually spread out a piece of cloth and tied it around Chen Jin's neck.

In an instant, the straight back of Chen Jin, who played the leading male role, suddenly appeared in the camera.

Han Sanpin looked at the monitor and his eyes lit up instantly.

That's what it feels like.

The waist and back seemed to be filled with a sense of strength. Li Xuejian stood aside with his chin in his hand, watching, and nodded unconsciously.

For a good actor, even the way he stands is his acting.

Ken Takakura is the Japanese actor most admired by Zhang Yimou. There are several scenes with his back to the actor in "A One Man's Journey". Each scene is full of stories. Just when he stands there, gazing at the mountain in front of him, you will feel an inexplicable sadness.

When the audience thought of his own son's death, they instantly felt the same way and understood the significance of this figure. And now, Chen Jin's figure can remind people of that person's face at a glance. At least Li Xuejian and Han Sanpin, who have seen him on TV, have a clear image in their minds.

"Nowadays, the world is the other way around~~~"

Wu Jun stood behind Chen Jin, blocking his back, and prepared to cut his hair.

The camera then zoomed in and a barber mirror began to appear. The outline of half of Chen Jin's face slowly emerged from the mirror bit by bit.

First of all, the eyebrows are thick, black and crescent-shaped, with a slightly sharp edge.

Then comes the face, firm, angular and full of resilience.

Finally, of course, the eyes.

There is a hint of gentleness in the depth, but a firm and powerful belief.

Just half of the face.

And he appeared from the mirror, but everyone's expectations for this person rose instantly.

"If you keep your braids now, you will be beheaded!"

As Wu Jun finished saying this, he adjusted Chen Jin's wig. Chen Jin, who was facing the mirror in the camera, suddenly turned around, as if she heard something.

But not quickly, he turned his head slowly and subconsciously with a hint of curiosity.

The camera quickly captured half of his profile as he turned around, just half of his profile, and his temperament and feeling instantly came to the fore.

There was no sound from the entire crew.

Everyone stared at Chen Jin who turned her head. Director of photography Zhao Xiaoshi, who had filmed Jiang Wen's "Devils on the Doorstep", stared at the camera.

Han Sanpin was looking at the monitor while the actors and crew were staring at the set.

Chen Jin revealed his true face, and the camera froze on this face for a moment.

This is the first time that the leading male character in "The Founding of a Party" shows his entire face.

By then, it will cover the entire big screen in the theater.

His expression was solemn, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, and at this moment, his eyes were brighter and clearer than before, with a sense of majesty without anger, resolute and awe-inspiring.

In the plot, he saw the new army of liberation at this time.

Represents hope.

came back.

Everything is back.

Li Xuejian wiped his face, his lips trembling slightly; Han Sanpin clenched his fists hard.

The entire crew was so quiet at this time that you could hear a pin drop, and then with Han Sanpin's shout, the breath that had been held was instantly exhaled.

First round!
The first scene, which was originally just to test the feeling, made everyone nervous.

The feeling comes suddenly.

Everyone felt a little scared when this new actor performed the role, it was so flavorful, especially the look on his face when he turned around at the end. His expression didn't change much, but there was a change from calm to hopeful.

You can see it in the eyes.

"..."

Han Sanpin looked at the face that was frozen in the monitor, still a little dazed: "Is it OK?"

He asks and answers his own questions?
Because of this scene, he and the camera crew spent a long time choreographing it, thinking that this appearance must be stunning and based on the character.

That's why he wanted to try it first, let Chen Jin get the feel for it, and try to finish the shooting in one day.

It does matter.

The role of appearance.

But now, Han Sanping was dumbfounded!

It’s only been a few minutes, less than 3 minutes, and Chen Jin has finished filming?
"Can it be better?"

Han Sanpin stared at the face in the monitor, but suddenly shook his head.

impossible.

This feeling can only be encountered by chance.

Han Sanping was already very satisfied, it was even better than he had expected.

"Pass!"

He suddenly shouted, and the director of photography and the props manager were a little surprised.

Pass?
pass?

This has taken a long time to arrange.

Didn’t you say we’d take a day to shoot?
Although "getting it through in one take" is a compliment to an actor's performance, it actually rarely happens, unless the crew is rushing to meet deadlines or the filming is really good. Otherwise, even if a scene is performed very well, the director may only say "get one take".

He will watch the actor's next performance.

But now, Han Sanpin shouted directly, which meant that he no longer wanted to continue filming this scene.

Chen Jin had already made him very satisfied just now.

"But it's really okay. If I take another photo, I might not have the same feeling as I did at first sight!"

"First impression is also important..."

Director of Photography Zhao Xiaoshi was talking as the crew began to rearrange and prepare for the next scene.

"I... I really just came here to make some cameos!"

Wu Jun walked out of the set, laughing at himself.

3 minutes.

After only 3 minutes of filming, his scenes were all finished, and the hotel gave him an extra day.

"You can go walk around the neighborhood!"

Li Xuejian rarely made a joke and said to him, "How is this kid's performance?"

"Absolutely, it won't work anymore!"

"Teacher Li, look at my hands..."

Wu Jun showed Li Xuejian his palms, which were full of sweat.

"From my perspective, I had to look in the mirror. I was so distracted during that blink that I didn't dare to do his hair!"

"Ha ha!"

Several people were laughing there, and Chen Jin also walked out of the set at this time. He actually seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Is this the end?

That feeling had just come over him.

It was so exciting that every cell in his body felt like it was trembling. When he thought about the many things this character would do next, Chen Jin couldn't help himself.

It's really the kind of excitement that I'm looking forward to playing this role well.

"Chen Jin!"

Han Sanpin had already waved to Chen Jin with a smile: "Come, let me tell you about the next scene!"

"okay!"

Chen Jin did not run over directly, but lifted up his robe and walked quickly, which made Han Sanpin's cheeks twitch a few times.

Their postures subconsciously lowered a bit.
