427: Training (2)
Finally, Dong Yi's audition segment ended.
Shen Yang returned to his seat to rest and adjust.
In the middle of the conference room, Dong Yi stood still and secretly looked at Jiang Ge and Mo Lan's faces, trying to see if they were satisfied with his performance.
However...
Jiang Ge had no expression on his face and could not tell anything.
Mo Lan's face was calm and could not tell anything either.
Dong Yi's heart was slightly trembling. At this moment, he was very nervous, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water - up and down.
After a moment, Jiang Ge turned his head to look at Mo Lan and asked, "What do you think?"
Mo Lan blinked and said objectively from the perspective of a producer, "The first half was okay, and the expressions were all very natural. From the interruption, the performance was too obvious, and people felt it was fake at first glance."
Jiang Ge said "hmm" softly. This was indeed the problem that Dong Yi had just encountered.
Since the conversation between the two of them was not concealed, everyone in the conference room heard it.
Dong Yi and his agent looked disappointed. They had prepared for so many years, researching at night and rehearsing during the day, with almost no rest, but they were disappointed.
Dong Yi was unwilling to miss the opportunity to star in Jiang Ge's movie, so he planned to fight for it again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Ge say: "Tell me about your understanding and opinion of the role of Jianning."
It seemed that it was not over yet, Dong Yi hurriedly said: "Jianning, spoiled, unruly and hot-tempered, likes to abuse others and be abused, When I was acting, I mainly showed her quirky, willful, and hateful yet pitiful feeling. "
"It's okay for an actor to act according to the design of the role given by the screenwriter and director. However, it can't be seen that it's 'fake'. I don't know if you have seen Qin Shiyue's Jianning in "Xiao Bao and Kangxi". Her performance is very natural, without any traces or flaws. "
Jiang Ge took Qin Shiyue out for comparison and continued: "The transformation of the relationship between Jianning and Wei Xiaobao was compressed into just a few minutes in this movie. From the beginning, she threatened him to play with her by using the fake eunuch identity as a handle, to liking him after being abused, we can't see your change. Actors need confidence. They can't start to doubt who they are playing while acting. Is it acting in their true colors or playing a role? In the final analysis, it's because they don't understand the role thoroughly. "
In fact, when it comes to the role of Jianning, among so many versions on the earth, Jiang Ge personally likes the version played by Shu-Chen Qiu and Liu Yucui the most.
Yau Shu-zhen not only played Jianning vividly, but also made her lovable and willful. She was no less impressive than the lewd Wei Xiaobao.
Although Liu Yucui was not the most beautiful, she was the most consistent with the original work. She played Jianning as a playful and fearless little girl who just wanted someone to play and laugh with her.
After hearing what Jiang Ge said, Dong Yi said with a chuckle: "Dr. Jiang, I..."
Jiang Ge narrowed his eyes and said without mercy: "A good actor is not only about acting like a character, but also about being vivid. In this movie, Jianning's character is exaggerated. She is innocent and cute, but also shrewd, mean and bad. It can be exaggerated, but not stiff."
Dong Yi clutched the corner of her clothes, blushing.
Jiang Ge sighed softly. This oval face, thin lips, lively eyebrows and eyes, quite heroic, fits Jianning very well, so he said: "Calm down first, think carefully, and try again after they finish their performance."
Dong Yi saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better, and his face improved a little. He immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
After that, he stepped back, took the script from the agent, and began to read it.
Jiang Ge immediately looked at Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong and said: "Come on."
The two women stood up and moved their chairs to the middle of the conference room.
Shen Yang continued to act as a tool and also moved his chair over.
This audition clip is relatively short,
It was specially selected to address the problems they might encounter.
After they finished their positions, Shen Yang said, "Mr. Jiang, we are ready."
Jiang Ge nodded and said, "Begin."
[Shen Yang sat on a chair, pretending to be bound, and said helplessly, "Alas, I said I would not sneak away, why are you tying me up? I have already entered the palace, what else do you want me to believe?"
Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong looked at each other, apologetically, and said, "Sir, please respect yourself. If you really don't want to leave, Shuang'er will untie you immediately."
Shen Yang said seriously, "Hey, my nickname Wei Xiaobao's 'honest and reliable young man with iron teeth' is not a false name. I will keep my words, and that is well known."
Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong said in unison, "Okay!"
After that, they walked to Shen Yang from the left and right, bent down and untied him.
Shen Yang stood up, stretched his body, and said to them: "You don't want me to leave, don't you just want to be loyal to the country, then you have to prove one thing to me."
Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong asked in unison: "What?"
Shen Yang walked towards them and said: "I want to see if you really have telepathy."
As he said, he raised his hand and pointed at them, and continued: "If you itch, you will feel pain, and if you feel pain, you will be impulsive."
Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong nodded together: "Yeah."
Shen Yang shook his head slightly and said: "It's useless to just talk, right?"
Gu Yitong and Zhong Qinrong looked at him and said: "Do you want to try it?"
"Okay." Shen Yang first helped Gu Yitong sit down on the chair on the right, and ordered: "Come, sit here, don't move."
Then, he helped Zhong Qinrong walk to the two chairs behind: "Come with me."】
"The Deer and the Cauldron" has been made into too many TV series, and the protagonist Wei Xiaobao is played by many big stars, such as Tony Leung, Stephen Chow, Jordan Chan, Dicky Cheung, and Huang Xiaoming.
The original novel author Jin Yong once made a six-word comment on Stephen Chow's performance as Wei Xiaobao, "Don't think of a second person", which can be said to be a high praise and affirmation.
However, although Jin Yong felt that Stephen Chow was the best choice to play Wei Xiaobao, he was not very satisfied after Wang Jing finished filming "The Deer and the Cauldron". He even said in the preface of the new version that he could not say which adaptation was the best, but he could say that the one who changed the original work beyond recognition was the worst, the most self-righteous, and the one who looked down on the author and the readers the most.
Of course, this version may not follow the original work, but Zhou's style is consistent with Wei Xiaobao's character. Stephen Chow has portrayed Wei Xiaobao as an extremely greedy and lustful "bitch" with a righteous spirit. He is a flatterer, mean, vulgar and greedy, but he sees things clearly and understands the righteousness, making him a classic character in the hearts of many people.
As for Jiang Ge, Shen Yang's Wei Xiaobao is a precise sniper and performance of Wei Xiaobao's character who is good at adapting to the situation and acting according to the principle of "seeking benefits and avoiding harm", and excavating and magnifying Wei Xiaobao's comedy elements.
This kid has grown rapidly, from "a money-loser who plays nonsense in every play" to "a powerful actor who can master the nonsense scale", which took only more than three years. This change also proves that the title of "Director Jiang" is well deserved.
Wei Xiaobao is fine, but his wife is quite problematic.
[Behind, Shen Yang gently rubbed Zhong Qinrong's feet.
"Ah, oh..."
Zhong Qinrong moaned comfortably.
"Sir, don't..."
In front, Gu Yitong acted as telepathy, humming, biting her lips, and making charming and seductive movements. 】
