Chapter 509 Observation (3)
"In the early stage, I let you look at the archives, books and videos, which is a kind of observation. It is also a kind of observation to go directly into their lives and watch them at a close distance. Of course, observation alone is not enough. There are some things that need to be done by you. You also have to learn to do it. For example, yesterday you went to fetch water and pull a stone mill. Did you feel the feeling of force? This is what you want. After you observe, you also start, and when the camera captures it, these will be It's not about acting, it's about your muscle memory. Filming requires intuition, but you also need to use your brain.
Do you know why you always felt ungrounded when filming in the past? Obviously acted according to the script, and the acting was not bad. For example, it is designed in the script that you chat with others in the company, and there is only one scene overview. Some idiots will stand, stand straight, and then the camera lens will rotate 360 degrees, and you will talk to the other party, fake or not? If you are sitting on a swivel chair when you are talking, holding a mouse in one hand and coffee in the other, is it better than standing and talking stupidly? "
They didn't come here to play, nor to relax, but to experience life. Everything follows the script. What was not in the script, they had read the archives before, and they did what the educated youth in the countryside at that time should do.
Even if the script can't be written, even if it's just a shot, they have to learn to do it.
"If you say you are an experientialist, then you should regard yourself as that person. Not only do you want to become that person in your mind, but your whole person, from clothing, clothing, behavior, and movements, everything must be close to that person. Life. When the audience sees you, they will feel that you are the living character in the movie, you are completely natural, and you will not feel like you are acting at all.”
Xia Siyu felt a sense of enlightenment.
All of her previous films were all chick flicks, that is, Cinderella Mary Sue in the modern city. This kind of play, as long as it is fresh and pleasant, it can cry, laugh and make trouble, and it is not too artificial, basically it is the same. The slightly more difficult one is "The Tempest". But she is still shooting a bar proprietress who can dance, which can be regarded as having something to do with her life, and with Wang Ju's guidance, it is easy to substitute herself.
As for her acting skills, she is pretty good now. There is no problem in acting in a romantic scene, but it is difficult to have any depth. In the past, she felt as if she had reached the ceiling, wanting to work hard but not knowing where to go. But Bo Yan, both theory and practice, he took her to break that layer of glass, and she seemed to have stepped up to a higher floor.
The gap between ordinary actors and actresses lies in these details.
All the classes she skipped in college were picked up again by Bo Yan now. But now she is different from the one who slept in class back then. If she relies on herself, maybe three years, five years, or even longer, she can also learn this. But Bo Yan's help made her instantly understand some subjects she was missing.
It is true that some actors have never even gone to college, but they are very talented, and they strive for success, and they quickly transitioned from box office poison to talented actors. But how many such actors are there?
What's more, they don't even have talent, never work hard, and try to pass the test with a face.
But Xia Siyu still had doubts: "Then why did you come with me alone? Not even Jingjing Xiaotang."
Bo Yanxiao: "Because I want to be alone with you."
