Chapter 1006 Let’s Go Play a Play!

With the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" returning to Hong Kong, there are not many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry remaining in the mainland.

That is, the staff of Kylin TV's "Shaolin Temple" and the crew of "Burning the Old Summer Palace". Most of the crew members are Li Hanxiang's team. Yin Jun generously paid him enough salary to continue to direct his team.

If a director wants to be successful, it is impossible without his own team, and if you don't work well together, you will definitely not be able to make a successful movie.

For example, why did Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" suddenly shock Europeans?

Isn't it because his cinematographer is Zhang Moumou, and the two of them joined forces to make such an excellent movie?

When Brother Chen Kai's wife, Xiao Chen Hong, takes charge of Brother Chen Kai's crew, then he will be a big tragedy, and he has not come out of it for decades.

Not to mention the director, Oprah, the world's number one talk show queen, offered an annual salary of US$1 million in order to retain her assistant. Why is this? Isn’t it true that without this assistant, Oprah won’t be able to take care of many things?

Director Zhang Xingyan of "Shaolin Temple" is already striving for perfection, but compared with Li Hanxiang, that is not the same thing at all.

Liang Jiahui came to the mainland in early June. It's almost November, and he has only played more than half of his scenes.

According to Li Hanxiang's plan, all filming will not be completed until at least January next year.

Since "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain" are the first two parts of the five-part series, Li Hanxiang plans to shoot these two parts in one go. The overall plan should be completed in June next year.

This means that Liang Jiahui will have to stay on the set of "Burning Old Summer Palace" for nearly 8 months, and will stay in the mainland for more than a year in total.

Liang Jiahui is now twenty-three or four years old. It is the time when he can't bear his temper, so he is quite impatient.

If he didn't have a girlfriend who came to visit him every other month, or if he didn't take time to go back to Xiangjiang for a two or three days vacation, he felt that he would definitely be even more bored.

Unlike Liang Jiahui, Liu Xiaoqing and other mainland actors are eager to live like this for as long as possible.

Because in these few months, not only did they enjoy the same food and accommodation treatment as the actors in Xiangjiang, but their salary was also greatly improved, dozens or even hundreds of times higher than before.

Basically, after filming "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain", an ordinary mainland actor can earn a huge salary of 2,000 yuan. For a major role, it is at least 5,000 yuan, let alone a leading actor like Liu Xiaoqing. The salary is simply It makes her laugh every night when she sleeps.

Of course, although Liang Jiahui is not used to life in the Mainland, he is very serious when filming.

Not only did he take it seriously himself, he also learned the acting skills of the veteran actors recruited by Li Hanxiang both in and out of the play.

When nothing happens, Liang Jiahui has no drama of his own and has to stand aside and watch. Not only did Li Hanxiang praise him, but the actors in the mainland also felt that this young man from Xiangjiang was neither arrogant nor impetuous, which was very rare.

Moreover, Liang Jiahui also faithfully carried out another of Yin Jun's instructions - to interact more with mainland actors and cultivate more relationships.

The first person to bear the brunt was naturally not Liu Xiaoqing, but the two actors who joined the crew midway.

One is called Chen Daomin and the other is called Chen Baoguo.

They all came from the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Li Hanxiang had already prepared to use them, but their roles were not many, so when Xiao Sheng was about to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the middle, the two of them People's orders came to intercede, allowing them to go there and exercise without filming.

If it had been another crew, Li Hanxiang would have ignored it at all, but "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a TV series produced by Yin Jun's Kylin TV, and Yin Jun attaches special importance to it, so Li Hanxiang was extraordinarily merciful and let them go. Two to go.

The two finished filming their roles in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and returned to the set in September, just in time for their scenes.

Liang Jiahui has several scenes with both of them. Through Liang Jiahui's observation, these two are rare good actors.

Chen Baoguo's performance was full of confidence and tension, and he was very expressive.

Another one, Chen Daomin, was even more praised by Liang Jiahui.

Chen Daomin's acting style is very restrained, but within this restraint, Liang Jiahui can always feel the explosive power that this plot character suppresses and wants to express.

Even directors like Li Hanxiang were very surprised when they saw it, and specially added two scenes for Chen Daomin so that he could bring out the leading actor Liang Jiahui in the atmosphere.

Compared to the two of them, Liang Jiahui's performance is naturally much more immature, and he is often suppressed, making Li Hanxiang constantly have to reshoot his scenes.

Fortunately, Liang Jiahui played the role of Emperor Xianfeng. This young emperor was hurriedly promoted to the position of emperor. Many of his performances seemed relatively immature, which could just cover up this shortcoming in acting.

But Liang Jiahui didn't want to be suppressed like this.

Especially when he saw Liu Xiaoqing acting opposite Chen Baoguo and Chen Daomin, their free and natural performances made Liang Jiahui determined to work hard to improve his acting skills in order to surpass these two people one day.

Of course, if you want to surpass the two of you, you can't just talk about it.

Liang Jiahui was also very smart. He simply asked his two elder brothers for advice. The advice was not in vain. In the evening, he paid for the chef to prepare a table of delicious food, add some wine, and invite Chen Daomin and Chen Baoguo. Eat and chat while eating. As you chat, you can talk about the performance.

His method is definitely very targeted.

Now Chen Baoguo and Chen Daomin are not two of the famous F4 in the mainland entertainment industry, but two young actors who have just graduated from school for a few years. They have a certain acting foundation, but their lives are still very poor.

Liang Jiahui was always waiting for him every day, and his words were very polite. After going back and forth, the three of them became good friends, and the two began to teach Liang Jiahui some of their acting experience.

But acting is something that cannot be mastered by someone else and you can become an excellent actor.

Otherwise, in so many performing arts schools such as Chinese Opera, Beijing Film Academy, and Shanghai Film Academy, the teachers are all well-known professional teachers or well-known actors. Why are the students they teach different, and all the excellent actors are different? Very few?

So Chen Daomin and Chen Baoguo summarized the experiences of teachers and their own gains, and told Liang Jiahui three things.

First, acting depends on talent, just like the old opera troupes. Whether you can sing or become a role depends on whether the ancestor will reward you for your livelihood.

Secondly, success does not occur at the same time. Some people gain enlightenment when they are seventeen or eighteen years old, and some people gain enlightenment when they are forty or fifty. No one knows the exact day when success occurs.

Third, although acting depends on talent, the most important thing is to keep learning and performing. Only through accumulation over time can greater achievements be achieved in the future.

Liang Jiahui felt a little thoughtful after hearing this, but couldn't understand it.

This feeling is very mysterious, as if it is touching that layer of gauze, but there is no way to lift it.

In the end, it was Chen Daomin who gave Liang Jiahui an idea, "Why don't you come with us to perform a drama in the People's Art Theater when you are free!"

"Drama?" Of course Liang Jiahui knows this form of performance, but he has never acted before!

"right!"

Chen Baoguo added next to him, "The performance form of drama is very suitable for us actors to practice hard on basic skills. It pays attention to voice, stage, shape, and expression. Voice refers to breathing, vocalization, articulation, mouth, lip and tongue sounds. , plosives... and other aspects of practice; Taiwan refers to lines, which are divided into basic skills, recitation, and recitation. When people close their eyes, they can hear all the elements you want to express from your lines. This is qualified.

Shape refers to the body, whichever person you perform must look like. To act as a soldier, you must stand up straight and have a strong temperament; to act as a student, you must have the casualness and ease of a student; to act as a eunuch, you must have the eccentricity and nervousness of a eunuch... All of these require constant effort on your own. Only by trying to figure it out can you imitate it similarly.

The last table refers to performance, which is completely different from performance in movies and TV series. It pays more attention to basic skills. Start by liberating your nature, practicing confessions, sensibility, clowning, observing characters, practicing various sketches, imitating and practicing famous domestic and foreign drama fragments... these do not take more than three to five years. The solution is complete. "

Liang Jiahui felt cold when he heard this.

Why is acting so difficult?

It’s completely different from what the teacher in Xiangjiang teaches!

They just taught themselves how to express their emotions and how to match the plot of the TV series. How could there be such careful and cumbersome classification teaching?

In fact, this is because Liang Jiahui did not meet Yin Jun.

Whether Yin Jun was filming "Wulin Gaiden" or "Speed ​​of Life and Death", this is how he polished actors.

It's not the plot that makes the actors, but the actors must rely on their own performances to drive the plot. Only then can they make good-looking movies and TV series!

"Drama faces the audience directly, without any mistakes. It is impossible for you to say to the audience on the way, 'I'm sorry, I made a mistake, do it again.' All your joys and sorrows must be shown to the audience. This is The place that tests your ability the most." Chen Daomin continued: "This is also different from movies and TV series. The feeling you have when facing the camera and facing the audience is also different.

Although I have acted in dramas a lot, I usually have some minor problems, such as being a little too expressive in front of the camera. But as for me, I feel that drama performances allow me to have a deeper understanding of movies and TV series. The characters in it can get into his heart and truly perform the characters. "

Okay.

After hearing this, Liang Jiahui had nothing to hesitate about.

He is a person who likes to perform. Among the young people in Xiangjiang, he has relatively good acting skills.

Even several teachers at Kylin TV's artist training class felt that apart from being more likable, Tony Leung was simply not as good as him in terms of real acting skills.

But when he came to the mainland, he was shocked by the veteran actors again and again.

There were also Chen Daomin and Chen Baoguo in front of him, who were only a few years older than him, but when they stood in front of the camera, their aura and smell could completely overwhelm the immature him.

Liang Jiahui was not convinced. He also wanted to become stronger. He also wanted to be a praised actor, not just a popular star.

So, he took action.

"Go! Two brothers, take me with you! Even if I don't rest, I will study hard to perform drama!!"
