372: Double Swords, Invincible (2)
Jiang Ge never saves star cards. He only uses the ones he has on hand when he encounters a problem that he cannot solve.
With a thought, he uses [Star Card: Wang Jing]. In the blink of an eye, countless experiences, understandings and knowledge related to directing flood into his mind.
At this time, Shen Yang, Han Xiaolong, Lin Yu and Guan Yansi felt that Jiang Ge had changed, but they couldn't tell exactly where he had changed. Suddenly, they thought of a possibility, which was the "one-hour guidance" that they hadn't encountered for a long time.
Jiang Ge hooked his finger and called them over, saying: "We usually say that good performances are free to release and can be released and taken back. It is easy to understand to release and let go of oneself. From the perspective of performance, this is not difficult. Any actor who liberates his nature can make himself excited. The question is whether you can take it back and where to take it back? If this problem is not solved, the performance will make people feel awkward..."
Yes, it is an hour of guidance.
Shen Yang, Lin Yu and Guan Yansi immediately took notes seriously, while Han Xiaolong listened without knowing the situation.
"What's going on? Aren't you going to stop filming?"
"Are you new here?"
"Brother, how did you tell? I just joined the props group a few days ago."
"From the questions you asked, I know that anyone who has followed Mr. Jiang won't find it strange."
"Brother, can you tell me what's going on now?"
"We'll talk later. Now go to class. You can't listen to it even if you have money."
...
The old employees in the crew who are interested in acting have already surrounded Jiang Ge and the others. As for the new employees, they are standing there, not knowing what's going on.
Jiang Ge said incessantly: "To a certain extent, film and television dramas are the restoration of the material world. How do you understand it?"
Speaking of this, he glanced around. Unconsciously, a large circle of people had gathered here. He never forbade others to listen to his teaching. Instead, he hoped that his subordinates would know how to act, so that he would be much more relaxed. So he continued: "For example, when reading novels, no matter how the author writes, you can evaluate his writing level, but don't say that he writes very fake, because the novel itself is the author's imaginary world. Crosstalk, sketches, and dramas are also highly hypothetical. A few people on the stage can refer to thousands of troops, but film and television dramas are different. In the process of watching, the audience will substitute into it and ask why this character does this? If the audience does not understand the character's motivation, they will feel very confused..."
Speaking of the balance between nonsensical performances and normal performances, we have to talk about comedy.
Many comedy creators nowadays focus on "fun", and try their best to work hard on lines, actions, and plot reversals to make the audience laugh, but the results are not satisfactory.
This is like some comedies on Earth, whether it is movies, TV series, crosstalk, sketches, or dramas, they all lean towards Stephen Chow's style to a greater or lesser extent, making the performances very crazy and nonsensical.
In fact, Stephen Chow boldly innovated after absorbing the essence of his predecessors, and finally formed his own nonsensical style, but many of Stephen Chow's imitators only rigidly imitated Stephen Chow's performance methods without understanding the essence of comedy, so their performances were only awkward.
In the final analysis, if the focus is placed on "fun", if you accidentally go too far, the character setting will be distorted, and the distance from the audience will be further and further away. Even if it is funny, the audience will treat the character as a clown, so the audience must understand, sympathize, and then empathize with the character, so that it will not feel awkward.
"Young Justice Bao" is not only a TV series full of suspense and solving cases, but also interspersed with many funny parts, such as a bunch of girls chasing Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng ran to Chang Yu, and Gongsun Ce happened to be there. The girls saw Gongsun Ce and actually said he was ugly, which made Gongsun Ce very angry. At this time, Gongsun Ce's face was red and swollen, which made people want to laugh.
There is a degree to be paid attention to here, the degree of funny, the degree of rhythm, the degree of body, and the degree of lines. Too much will be awkward, and too little will not be funny.
An hour passed quickly, and Jiang Ge focused on Shen Yang, so it was more about how to balance nonsensical performances and normal performances.
"It turns out that acting in funny plays is so difficult..."
"Yeah, I always thought that acting in comedy was the easiest."
"Comedy is to make people laugh, but not everything that makes people laugh is comedy."
"No matter how natural the actor's acting is and how good the lines are, as long as the joke doesn't hit the funny point and doesn't make people laugh, then your acting is in vain."
"Mr. Jiang said it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, even a layman like me can understand it. Tragedy destroys valuable things for people to see, and comedy tears up worthless things for people to see."
"It is indeed easier to be sentimental than comedy, because the soft spot in human nature is easy to find. Find it, hit it, and tears will come out."
...
The staff around started to discuss one after another.
Lin Yu and Guan Yansi were secretly amazed, looking like they admired Jiang Ge very much.
Han Xiaolong scratched his head and ears, obviously not understanding.
Shen Yang frowned, digesting what Jiang Ge said.
Jiang Ge was so thirsty that he stood up to drink water. He happened to see Chen Gan: "Why are you here?" Chen Gan grinned and said, "Of course I'm here to supervise." Jiang Ge took a bottle of Farmer's Three Punches and drank most of it. He exhaled comfortably and said, "When did you come? You didn't even tell me in advance." Chen Gan explained, "I just took on a project in Dongyang City, so I came to see you on the way."
Jiang Ge said, "Oh!" and said, "I really envy you, building cities every day."
Chen Gan kicked him on the butt and said, "I envy you too."
Jiang Ge smiled mischievously and said, "Why don't you come and play a guest role, and play a perverted murderer for you."
"Go away, if you want to play, you have to be the protagonist!" Chen Gan smiled and asked, "I heard that your three dramas are being filmed in this park at the same time?"
Jiang Ge nodded and said, "Well, there is no way, other parks are full of people."
Chen Gan was shocked and said, "Then there will be a lot of costume dramas in the next two years."
Jiang Ge smiled and said, "It's like this now. As long as a type or a theme becomes popular, there will be countless followers."
The main reason is that the relevant departments have loose and efficient review, and the filming can be broadcast quickly in time.
If it were on Earth, you would be stuck for a year or two, and by the time the review is completed, the popular type or theme would have changed long ago.
Chen Gan changed the subject and said, "Aren't we working on the Hangzhou Beijingyuan Ecological Park e-sports stadium project? I heard a rumor recently."
Ding Ge asked curiously, "What rumor?"
Chen Gan did not answer but asked, "Have you ever played League of Legends?"
