Chapter 187 Who doesn't want to act well?
Wu Gang graduated from a training class specially opened by the People's Art Theater. He has not received an orthodox Soviet-style performance education. The training class run by the People's Art Theater is similar to TVB. From the beginning, he was aiming to recruit new seedlings for his own Theater...
Drama performance is different from film and television performances. There are close-ups in the movie but not in the drama, so actors must pay attention to their own shape!
Therefore, even if you are placed outside, you must ensure that your body is good.
The film school accepted the most traditional Soviet system. After the 1980s, it entered a very chaotic period. Some supported the Soviet Union, some supported Germany, and some wanted to add Mei Lanfang to the course. It took a long time to be quiet. Now, students listened to the mixed version of the Soviet system.
Xiaobai's performance class textbook only has one line, the others are various scripts of ancient and modern times, and there are also performance elements performed according to the teaching stage, still life simulation, animal simulation, silent practice, observing life sketches, Chinese script fragments, foreign script fragments, Chinese and foreign single-act dramas, and then graduation dramas.
What I learned is more about the professors of the tutors.
Very basic stuff!
After becoming a director, Xiaobai paid more attention to the actor's face. After all, he had to express his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness with expressions - he didn't like Zhang Ziyi's acting skills that are not like the ancient well-being, and he claimed to be able to see through the vicissitudes of the world...
Too static...
This leads to his own attention on inner drama when acting, and his inner drama must be expressed through facial expressions rather than eyes...
Therefore, it is natural to ignore the most basic form!
...
"Actually, from the perspective of the director, Yin Zheng is very good now. In such an impetuous and fast era, there are not many such actors."
Xiaobai first greeted Wu Gang and then praised Yin Zheng: "In the past few years, he has not taken any good book except "Wulin Waizhi", but I watched "Sparrow" that day. Although his performance in it was a bit hard, it did not make me feel embarrassed! This is very important, and some actors just act hard."
"...No, I just sorted out my own line..."
Yin Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
"The same is true for Yilong. Do you know which drama I noticed you?"
Before Zhu Yilong could speak, Xiaobai took the initiative to answer his questions: "In "New Xiao Shiyilang", you played Lian Chengbi, right?"
"…right!"
Zhu Yilong is a little embarrassed because... "New Xiao Shiyilang" is really bad...
"I like watching martial arts movies and TV series very much. As long as it is not too ugly, I can watch it. You are not so bad at all. I am quite satisfied with this..."
"I am just like Yin Zheng. Sometimes when I receive bad scripts, the best way to deal with them is to sort out my character logic clearly, otherwise, I really can't act..."
As a newcomer, there is no right to be picky, it’s good to act with a show!
"Come on, it will be fine. Nowadays, there is no longer a popular traffic star. Only a truly good actor can be followed!"
Xiaobai raised his glass, which was an encouragement.
"Director, do you think we should be bad at scripts like this?"
Yin Zheng suddenly asked a question.
This question should be the doubts in the hearts of many actors who want to act well...
Especially an actor who is a little famous but has not yet become a climate!
There will be many scripts to look for them at this stage, and naturally there will be many scripts that exude the smell of bad drama from beginning to end...
"How do you say this?"
Xiaobai was silent for a moment and answered according to his own ideas: "If it's too bad, it's better to refuse. If the character has room to play, you might as well take it. As some seniors said, a bad script does not mean that the actors are bad!"
"……In the Name of People, people have handed me scripts every day. Recently, "Wolf Warrior 2" has become popular, so there are more scripts to find me!"
Teacher Wu Gang interrupted, and several people listened carefully.
"I can't read most of the scripts, so I just threw them away. Some can be read. Unfortunately, the characters are too single and there is no room for them to play."
"Everyone wants to act a good show, how can there be so many good scripts?"
Wu Gang spread his hands and made a helpless move.
"...I have written scripts before, you should know that Teacher Wu Bo's "Ma Xiangyang's Countryside Records" was written by me. As a TV screenwriter, I would like to say that film and television dramas are very bad now, and the screenwriter takes the main responsibility. If you say something, you may find it very funny, but the real thing is that if your script has too few words, the boss will think you are not serious and will not receive goods. This is really not to be funny. Many scripts in Hengdian are handed over by word count.
Let’s give an example. In American dramas, the male protagonist is a little angry and doesn’t want to talk to the female protagonist, so he might just say ‘Fine’. But in the Chinese circle, you definitely don’t want to mess around with writing like this, because the person who receives the article will not read every line of your heart carefully, he just reads a rough look, and then you have one or two lines in one of them, and they think this is not possible!
So the words often turn into: 'Okay, you're right, I don't know what to say. Let's talk about it next time, goodbye.'
Is there any content?
In the triangle relationship, it is often written that "in that breeze and sunny morning, the second female lead wore a Prada top, took a Hermes bag, and sprayed Gucci's perfume'
These things are completely okay according to Qing, they are all for the purpose of making up the word count..."
"Ha ha!"
It seems that this is the first time Wu Gang and Jiang Wu have heard of this kind of thing, and they are laughing happily, while Yin Zheng and Zhu Yilong are a little embarrassed. It seems that these two have taken on many such scripts!
"Also, the producers will add water to the plot in order to lengthen the plot!"
"Uh, how to inject water specifically? Let me give you an example. For example, a very common campus idol drama plot is that the school holds a student meeting. When you call the name, you will always click a few inexplicable names first, and then the camera will switch to the protagonist's face. At this time, there will be a large psychological narration. Generally, this kind of plot can be shot half an episode, but it has nothing to do with the plot!"
Zhu Yilong spoke carefully: "I know a screenwriter. He said that many times he wrote the TV series he had no shame to watch..."
"Yes, many screenwriters are like this now. There is no way to make a living!"
"The scripts are all the souls of TV series. The scripts are no longer possible. What's the use of our actors being capable of?"
Wu Gang sighed: "I'm pretty lucky and I've been able to get it done. Now I have so many scripts I can choose. Occasionally I can come across a few scripts that make me excited. My old guys will not act in TV series at all!"
He is talking about Liang Guanhua and Pu Cunxin...
"...It's okay, when the capital trend fades, there will still be good scripts!"
Bai Xiaofei comforted him...
"Did you write "Frequently Invite Meals"?"
Zhu Yilong suddenly remembered something and asked.
"…Yes, what do you think of the script when you play Junjie Xu?"
Xiaobai is happy to praise me!
"The script is very good, but it's too short, only twenty-eight episodes..."
"I'm not going to be broadcast on the TV series on the satellite!"
"Ah? Not on the stars?"
Zhong Lifang, who had been chatting with Chen Baolian, was extremely surprised and interjected.
"... Half of my scripts are about sister-brother relationships, and the other half is about reality. Especially there are a lot of sexual harassment in the workplace, which is a bit large. Moreover, I target groups aged 20 to 30. If they are broadcast on the satellite, on the one hand, I am worried that the ratings are not good, and on the other hand, I am worried that no TV station is willing to broadcast them!"
Xiaobai explained.
