403: There Is Something Going on Between Them!

"You two have a good time to find out your feelings. Google search and read"

Django had said everything he needed to say, and they had to rely on themselves for the rest.

Some people say, "When you start dreaming, you learn a foreign language." For an actor, he must learn to dream another person's dream, otherwise that character cannot be counted as his own.

Acting has never been easy, and the craft has become more demanding over the past few decades, partly because of changes in technology, partly because of the demands actors and directors place on themselves, and partly because of changes in audience demands.

Acting life-like in front of the camera is a rigorous craft, and the actor must fully master his material and be in tune with his character's life, as if no one is watching him and no camera is spying on him.

If you find an actor "acting" in a play, that's a bad performance. He is no longer a unique character in a unique world, but someone hired on a high-paying contract to read lines for the audience.

In fact, the camera's close-up shot will not magically turn an ordinary picture into something magnificent and colorful. It will only capture and amplify the smallest changes. To put it simply, it is the actor's performance that determines whether a picture is beautiful or not. Magnificent and colorful.

"Director Jiang..." Liu Ya came over with the script in hand and humbly asked for advice: "My mood changes like this. See if it works. First I am calm and calm, then I turn to excitement, and finally I explode with emotion."

Jiang Ge listened and nodded: "Okay, the transition between emotional changes should be more natural. It should be progressive, not sudden."

Liu Ya responded: "Okay."

After that, I took the script and started studying it again.

She was very serious about this drama. She had to seize the opportunity to get a leading role after playing supporting roles many times.

Hu Jingtian thought about it for a while, and then ran over to ask for advice: "Dr. Jiang, this is how I understand it. Do you think it is right? In the first hug, Mei Changsu admitted his identity, and it was a friendship between old friends. Hug, and the second hug, Mei Changsu admitted his feelings for Nihuang, it was a hug between lovers. "

Jiang Ge smiled with relief. His vision was indeed correct and he was a good prospect. He immediately said: "Yes."

Hu Jingtian smiled innocently and felt relieved.

After about a quarter of an hour, the shooting continued.

"Scene 36, second shot, action!"

The recording operator left the camera. On the screen, Liu Ya looked calm and asked: "Wei Zheng is Chi Yan's old man. He wants to clear his grievances, but what about you? Who are you?"

Hu Jingtian turned to look at her.

Liu Ya opened her eyes wide, as if expecting his next answer.

Hu Jingtian changed his gaze and said: "When I first arrived in the capital under the name Su Zhe, many people asked me who I was. Some asked in person, and some secretly visited. Soon they had the answer."

Liu Ya's calm heart gradually began to ripple, and she said, "Has no one ever asked, who is Mei Changsu?"

Hu Jingtian avoided her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that you would be the first person to ask this question."

Liu Ya's eyes filled with mist and she said, "How do you want to answer?"

Hu Jingtian turned to look elsewhere and said, "The old man, the same old man as Wei Zheng."

Tears instantly flowed from Liu Ya's eyes, and then she chuckled and said, "If you are Chi Yan's old friend, why don't I recognize you?"

Hu Jingtian still did not dare to face her, and only said: "How can you recognize all the 70,000 Red Flame Army?"

Hearing this, Liu Ya seemed to have grasped something important. She raised her chin and said, "But I know Wei Zheng. He is the chief lieutenant of the Chiyu Camp. He can obey your orders under you. I don't believe that you are an ordinary unknown person." generation."

Hu Jingtian's tone and speed were still as calm as he said: "What we are planning has nothing to do with the battlefield. Wei Zheng is not good at it. What's more, his identity must not be exposed."

At this time, Jiang Ge, in front of the monitor, looked at the two people under the four lenses and secretly marveled at how such a big change could be made in just ten minutes of adjustment. His expressions, eyes, lines, etc. were all very special. in place.

You know, filming is very difficult, especially this kind of antagonistic scene with a lot of lines.

After this conversation, the real scene of Mei Changsu and Ni Huang getting to know each other came.

Camera No. 1, following Liu Ya's footsteps, showed a close-up of the upper body.

Camera No. 2, facing Hu Jingtian's left side, also shows a close-up of the upper body.

This interlaced shot captures the facial expressions and eye changes of the two people at this moment.

Tears fell on Liu Ya's cheeks again, she looked directly at Hu Jingtian and asked, "Do you know Lin Shu?"

Hu Jingtian's face was a little confused. He paused for a while and said, "We know him."

Liu Ya asked: "Did he really die in the battle?"

Hu Jingtian blurted out: "Yes."

Liu Ya asked again: "Where did he die in the battle?"

Hu Jingtian replied: "Meiling."

Liu Ya continued to ask: "Where are the bones buried?"

Hu Jingtian replied: "With seventy thousand heroic souls, heaven and earth are tombs, the war is fierce, and corpses are piled up like mountains, who can recognize who Lin Shu is?"

Tears fell crazily like broken pearls. Liu Ya took a deep breath and said: "If you are the old man of Chi Yan, why did you not call him Young Marshal when I mentioned Lin Shu just now?" name?"

Finally, the calmness that Hu Jingtian maintained for a long time was shattered, and his voice began to tremble, and he said: "It's just a title. It doesn't matter whether it's Lin Shu, Young Marshal, or anything else."

Liu Ya's eyebrows raised, her lips trembled, and the tears in her eyes sparkled. She grabbed Hu Jingtian's left hand, rolled up her sleeves, turned her arms, and then looked up at him with an incredulous look, her expression getting worse. Feeling sad, he turned around and pulled away his collar, crying: "There is obviously a mole..."

Hu Jingtian's nose felt sour and his eyes were filled with mist.

Liu Ya said in a questioning and sad tone: "I remember there is a mole here!"

Her emotions have already exploded, while Hu Jingtian's emotions are on the verge of exploding.

Django watched this scene with ups and downs in his heart.

In the feature film, "Beautiful Beauty" will be heard here, a sad and touching love song. The melodious melody tells people like a narrative. It sings about the relationship between Mei Changsu and Nihuang who want to talk about it but they still want to break up. A sad emotional journey.

It can be said to be a tearjerker...

"The west wind crosses the cold mountain rain at night

Home and country remain in a vague dream

Sijun can’t see Baisijun…”

This song seemed to be playing in Django's ears.

and.

In the picture, Liu Ya threw herself into Hu Jingtian's arms, crying and saying: "I know it's you, I know you are my brother Lin Shu!"

Hu Jingtian seemed a little overwhelmed. After a moment of thinking, he slowly hugged Liu Ya with one hand, then raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

His expressions and eyes are very complex, leaving a lot of room for imagination.

Mei Changsu might be thinking, is this how he and Nihuang got to know each other?

But.

Recognition is risky. He has the responsibility of 70,000 Red Flame Army on his shoulders, but he still has reason in his heart, struggling and hesitating.

Hu Jingtian restrained his emotions and opened his mouth several times but did not speak. After hesitating for a long time, he shouted "Nihuang".

This is the first hug that Hu Jingtian just talked about - the hug between old friends, that is, Mei Changsu recognized Nihuang and admitted that he was Lin Shu, the former Red Flame Marshal.

I saw Liu Ya saying something in Hu Jingtian's arms: "Women's intuition is so unreasonable. The less traces there are, the better they know!"

Hu Jingtian couldn't control himself anymore, tears rolled down from his eyes.

Liu Ya left his arms, held his face gently with both hands, and then cried and said: "Brother Lin Shu, brother Lin Shu, never leave me again!"

Before she finished speaking, another head threw herself heavily into his arms.

Different from last time, this time Hu Jingtian hugged her tightly and took the initiative to press his face to her head, as if the ears and temples were rubbing together between lovers, so intimate.

This embrace was what Hu Jingtian said was the second embrace - the embrace between lovers, which was when Mei Changsu admitted his feelings for Nihuang and admitted that he had always loved her deeply.

"Click, passed!"

Django gave a thumbs up to the two people in the field.

suddenly,

He heard several sobbing sounds behind him and turned around to see, my dear, many crew members were crying.

The highest state of a play is "empathy". The audience empathizes with the actors' performances, is happy for the actors' happiness, and feels the same for the life and death in the play. On the one hand, this "empathy effect" depends on the virtual world constructed by the script. The rationality, on the other hand, depends on the director's level and ability to tell the story. Of course, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the actor's performance.

Obviously, the scene between Hu Jingtian and Liu Ya just now achieved this effect.

It's a bit strange that their acting skills were acceptable, but they couldn't move the crew beyond the big screen without a soundtrack.

Jiang Ge raised his hand and rubbed his chin, looking at the two people who were wiping their faces.

The anomaly was quickly caught.

There is a special emotion between them, higher than colleagues and higher than friends.

"No wonder the acting looks just like the real thing. It turned out that he was acting as himself."

Django smiled.

I think this is a good thing. Liu Ya is also a good young talent, so the good news will not go to outsiders.

——————

The end of the year is the off-season for singers to release songs. In the whole month of November, there are not many new songs.

Come December, things change.

On Double Twelve, during the shopping spree, several major music platforms including QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, Kugou Music, and Xiami Music released several new songs.

The point is, it's all by Django.

but……

But none of them were sung by Chinese-style artists.

Someone opens QQ Music:

【——"Silk Opera"

Vocals: Lin Jie, Lin Ling

Who is mocking for showing off one's own merit?

How to match without heart...]

Someone opens NetEase Cloud Music:

【——"The New Drunken Concubine"

That year's snowflakes fell and plum blossoms bloomed on the branches

There was so much sadness left by the Huaqing Pool that year...]

Someone turned on Kugou Music:

My parents have been telling me since I was little

Huangmei Opera is not very easy to sing...]

…

Someone turned on Xiami Music:

【——"Daoma Dan"

Vocals: Li Wen, Ye Xianglun

People will still be in Xiangjiang tomorrow morning

Still drinking soup at the Kowloon Tea House...]

…

This time, they are all songs that incorporate opera or drama.

Taking a closer look at the song information, they all come from Yanjing TV’s cultural variety show "New Opera Sings".

After talk shows, hip-hop, street dance, bands and other categories, opera has also become a new theme for niche cultural variety shows. However, "Opera New Sing" avoids the PK mode of most niche cultural variety shows, focusing on trying to combine traditional opera with pop songs, inviting well-known opera actors and pop singers to compose and sing.

Coincidentally, several guests invited in the first episode had previously agreed to sing with Jiang Ge, and have been waiting for the right opportunity to release since the delivery in June.

Well, they all took a fancy to "Opera New Sing", and ended up colliding.

"There are so many ancient opera songs, but few of them are presentable."

"It's not a sentimental tone, even a bland one, but it breaks the listeners' hearts."

"I just realized that opera and opera are very versatile. Pop, rock, and music can all be integrated into it, and it doesn't feel abrupt at all."

"According to statistics, there are 348 local operas in the country, but only a few are well-known to the general public. If they are not passed on, they will really disappear."

"Everything starts with "Chi Ling."

"Why is it called 'Jiang Ge yyds'? It's because he dared to try to integrate with the already decadent opera, and he is a pioneer who broke the ice in launching a stunning new singing method!"

...

In the public's inherent impression, opera has always been a cultural treasure that is high on the altar and difficult to touch, because "not understanding" is a real problem.

Indeed, we have to admit that in today's era, young people still know too little about the real opera art. It is objectively difficult to hear every word of the actors, understand the every move of the characters on the stage, and experience the thousands of emotions revealed in their gestures. The attempt of "New Opera Singing" is to get closer to the audience.

Did it do it?

It can only be said that this is a long way to go, but Jiang Ge's songs have aroused the curiosity of some listeners, and they searched for which kind of opera the opera used in the song belongs to, and which opera story the song title and lyrics tell.

At least this is a good phenomenon, right.

"These songs are very addictive, especially "The New Drunken Concubine" sung by Li Yu, who switches between male and female voices freely, and "The Silk Pulling Opera" which makes people feel deeply. I drove here and looped all the way." Chen Gan kept talking when he saw Jiang Ge.

"I was wondering why they didn't release songs. It turns out that they used them to appear on the show." Jiang Ge shook his head and smiled.

"You are not going to enter the opera industry, are you?" Chen Gan made a heavy guess.

"No," Jiang Ge said, and seeing that he didn't believe it, he said, "I guarantee it, because I only know the basics of opera."

I almost forgot to mention that on the day that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, [Master Level·Music Theory Knowledge] and [Master Level·Director Knowledge] were upgraded to "Grandmaster Level", and the music theory knowledge included several basic knowledge related to popular operas.
