Chapter 1057 last lesson
"This is all for today's shooting! Thank you for your hard work!" At five o'clock in the afternoon, the shooting task was successfully completed. Zhang Ran picked up the speaker and announced the end of work. However, he did not forget to affirm Jingtian's performance and applauded: "Advisor, you performed well today and can beat 90 points!"
After finishing work, Zhang Ran invited Chen Daomin to his house for dinner so that he could talk about the script. Zhang Ran now has children, and he does not live in a hotel with the crew members like before. Now every day after filming, he will go home to accompany his wife and children. If he doesn't live in the crew, he naturally can't discuss the script in the hotel, so he called Chen Daomin home for supper.
When Jingtian heard Zhang Ran invite Chen Daomin home for dinner, he followed up with shamelessness and said that it would be useless to eat the master's family.
After dinner, Zhang Ran took Chen Daomin to the study to discuss the script. Zhang Ran had worked with Chen Daomin twice. Knowing his acting habits, he told Chen Daomin what kind of movie he wanted to make; the connotation and extension of the story; and his various thoughts and requirements for the role of Cheng Liang.
Although Chen Daomin was a guest star and did not have many roles, he was still very serious about the role. He asked some questions about the script and the role of Cheng Liang, and expressed his own ideas. Both of them were very opinionated people, and they had their own opinions on the role, and they quickly started arguing.
Jingtian and Zhang Jingchu were watching TV in the living room. When they heard Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin slamming the table and hitting the bench, they seemed to be fighting. They said to Zhang Jingchu: "Master and Teacher Chen Daomin are arguing so much, go and persuade them?"
Zhang Jingchu said calmly: "It's okay, he will discuss the script with Chen Daomin like this, don't worry about them."
When Jingtian heard Zhang Jingchu say this, he sighed relieved and continued to chat with Zhang Jingchu. However, the quarrel between Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin continued. Jingtian returned to the hotel at 10 o'clock in the evening, and the quarrel between Zhang Ran and Chen Daomin was not over yet.
The next morning, Jingtian came to the crew early in the morning to prepare for today's shooting. Today, the main filming of Chen Daomin's scenes, mainly the first scene, which was a scene in which Cheng Liang knocked on Xia Xuejiao's door and asked her to help find her daughter. The part of Jingtian's scene was filmed two days ago. Today, the part of Chen Daomin was filmed and then combined with the part of Jingtian.
Not long after, Zhang Ran came. Jingtian hurriedly met him: "Master, you had a quarrel with Teacher Chen Daomin last night. I thought you were going to fight! Such a small role, with Teacher Chen Daomin's experience, how could the argument go like that?"
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "You can get it right? Do you think this kind of role is easy to play? A big mistake, the smaller the role is actually the harder to play. Why is the poem the hardest to write, and the more room there is? It is because it can be laid out slowly and has the opportunity to make up for it. Poetry should convey the greatest amount of information in the shortest words. The smaller the role, the more you have to spend your time, otherwise how can others remember you? Feng Yuan played many very small roles, the robbers of "The World is a Thief" and the founding of the Kingdom of "If You Are the One" are all two or three minutes of plays, but the audience remembers his performance very deeply. Do you think he would act casually without spending his time? Wait a minute, and ask Chen Daomin what preparations he made for the role of Cheng Liang!"
In many people's impression, Chen Daomin is the kind of person who is very serious and fierce. Many young actors will be frustrated when facing Chen Daomin, and even think that they will be so nervous that they can't sleep when they act with Chen Daomin. However, Jing Tian is a heartless girl and is not afraid at all. After Chen Daomin came, he ran over and asked, "Teacher Chen Daomin, my master said that you have made a lot of preparations to play the role of Cheng Liang well, so how much preparations have you made?"
Chen Daomin smiled and said, "I didn't do much preparation. After reading the script, I drew a picture of the characters. This is also my creative habit. When I play the characters, I will first outline the basic outline of the characters. When I play, I will restore the literary image of the characters with the picture I imagined, and combine them. After drawing the painting, I analyzed the script and the characters, found the highest tasks and actions, and returned to myself, and found the shadow of the characters from myself. However, there is too little time, otherwise I would go to college and find a few friends who teach the university to talk to me."
Jingtian said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to make so much preparations for such a small role."
Chen Daomin said seriously: "There is no big or small performance. You can only play the role of poor performance, no small role, even if there is only one shot, as long as you have a sense of responsibility for this profession, you must play it well. This is not that I have high requirements for myself, but this profession itself should do it. Cheng Liang has not many scenes, but it is very important. I need to convey more things in the shortest time. I must produce the most three-dimensional behavior and emotional state in the fastest movements. How can I play it well without spending time?"
Jingtian remembered that when he was in the crew of "The Future Apocalypse", Robert De Niro always prepared seriously before acting. Although he and Chen Daomin took different methods, they had the same destination. She bowed and bowed to Chen Daomin and said, "Thank you, Teacher Chen Daomin!"
Chen Daomin nodded slightly, thinking that if other girls had masters like Zhang Ran and played the heroine, their tail would have been raised to the sky, but Jing Tian could ask others for advice and was very well educated. No wonder Zhang Ran accepted her as her apprentice!
Zhang Ran waved to Jingtian, patted the chair next to him, and said, "Advisor, sit here and let Teacher Chen Daomin teach you a lesson later."
Jingtian walked to Zhang Ran, but did not sit down: "Master, I will play with Teacher Chen Daomin later!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "The old Taoist doesn't need you to play, you can just watch here in a while."
Jingtian said in surprise: "But that's a long shot. There are many conversations between me and him. If no one plays, it will make mistakes!"
Zhang Ran said, "You will make a mistake, but he is Chen Daomin, he definitely won't!" He looked up at Chen Daomin and said, "Old Dao, is there no problem?"
Chen Daomin said speechlessly: "You are using me as a case to educate your apprentice, I want to charge a fee!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "No problem, I'll treat you to dinner then."
Chen Daomin waved his hand and said, "I'll be spared if I eat. I'll think about me more when filming in the future. Don't think of me when I'm a guest star. Let me put me aside when I choose a star!"
When Zhang Ran heard Chen Daomin complaining, he yelled and said, "If there is a suitable role, I will definitely find you. If there is no suitable role, there will definitely be no way. For example, if I ask you to play Xianye, it will definitely be inappropriate!"
Chen Daomin was dissatisfied when he heard this. He felt that Zhang Ran underestimated himself and immediately said, "Why is it not suitable? I think I can play it completely. If you prepare for me for a few months and I will stay in the countryside for a few months, I can definitely play it! There is also Lao Huang from "One Person and the Lights Decoration", I can also play it! I have played many soldiers, and playing a policeman is a piece of cake! You just underestimate me too much. In your eyes, I can only play an intellectual!"
Zhang Ran quickly surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, as long as it is not a character with a very large contrast, I will be the first to find you!"
At Chen Daomin's age, he was relatively indifferent to money, fame and fortune. His biggest hope was to leave more works that are remembered and more characters that are remembered.
In May this year, Chen Daomin and Zhang Yimou brought "Return" to Cannes. He was quite satisfied with the movie, but unfortunately the movie did not cause much response in Cannes or in China, which made him a little disappointed. On the contrary, Li Xuejian, who starred in "Scarlet Body", was praised in China and abroad. Some American media even said that Li Xuejian's performance in "Scarlet Body Body" paled Tom Hanks' performance in "The Rest of the Desert Island". Chen Daomin was particularly envious of this and felt that he could also act, but Zhang Ran didn't look for him.
Now that he heard Zhang Ran say this, Chen Daomin was very happy: "Then we're going to settle!"
Soon after, the preparations for the shooting were completed, all the staff were in place, and the shooting officially began.
Chen Daomin stood at Xia Xuejiao's door and started performing. The camera slowly pushed towards the door and slowly pushed towards the door mirror. Through the door mirror, Chen Daomin was photographed outside the door.
After the shooting ended three minutes later, the special effects team deducted Chen Daomin's performance and combined it with the scene taken by Jing Tian the day before yesterday to form a complete long shot. When Jing Tian put on VR glasses to see the shot, he was stunned. Chen Daomin's performance fits closely with her performance, and it is impossible to tell that it was collaged together at all.
Jingtian looked at Chen Daomin, then Zhang Ran, and said in surprise: "This is too amazing, Teacher Chen Daomin, how did you do it?"
Chen Daomin said lightly: "Before the performance, I watched your performance several times and recorded your performance. How long is the time and what the rhythm is. When I act, I will present your performance in my heart through inner vision, which is equivalent to acting with you."
Jingtian's eyes were as if they were copper bells. The inner visual image was taught by the performance department, but it was unheard of to use the inner visual image to this extent. After a while, she made a voice: "It turns out that the inner visual image can be used to this extent!"
Zhang Ran felt that Jing Tian’s words were very shameful and said contemptuously: “You haven’t seen a really powerful person yet. I heard Gao Xiaosong say something. When the old Taoist filmed Gao Xiaosong’s scene, there was a scene where the old Taoist was injured by the river and wanted to lie on a small boat and sway on the oars to roam the ashore. For the sake of the picture, I had to wait for the sunset to make the river surface bright.
At that time, there was no condition for the crew to wait for the sun to set, and they would first shoot other scenes on the mountain. When the sunset came, the cameraman carried the machine and ran to the bridge. The old man ran to the river in one breath, then turned his head and asked, "How big is the head?" The cameraman shouted at the top of his voice, "25!25's focal depth of field, if the slightest control is not controlled well, the picture will become empty. The old man replied "Understand" and lying on the boat and the oars slanted. The picture was fixed on the shimmering river. Such beautiful shots were fleeting. Once the body movements were too large, the actors would draw. The crew had a limited budget and had no chance to try and make mistakes. Gao Xiaosong kept sweating in front of the monitor.
As a result, after the whole long shot, the old Taoist and the oars walked along the picture. He rolled around in the camera, but no matter how he turned over, the person was always in the painting. After a whole shot, Gao Xiaosong was scared and said, "Old Chen, you are so amazing." The old Taoist smiled and said, "I waved the oars in my hand in the middle. I think you should have cut them when you are taking pictures here. This is the editing point I left for you. This is the real awesome!"
Jingtian looked at Chen Daomin in amazement, thinking that this not only requires performance, but also pay attention to the depth of field of the camera, control the amplitude of the performance, but also consider the editing issue. This is too exaggerated, and I couldn't help but say, "Master, the actors you use are all monsters, and they are simply more cruel than the other!"
Chen Daomin laughed and said, "Your master can do it too. If you want to talk about monsters, he is the real monster!"
Zhang Ran taught: "You know it's amazing! For performance, there is always a world beyond heaven, and it requires learning for a lifetime, just like practicing."
