Chapter 49 Rolling and Practicing Acting (Revision)
Cai Jiaguan happily imagined the scene of wealth gaining after working alone in the future. This beautiful dream has been done last night. However, it is morning and it has become a daydream.
He was in an unprecedented mood. Perhaps Zheng Qun was so happy when he became popular back then. While eating a sandwich, he picked up the newspaper and flipped through the entertainment version. He didn't see the news about Chu Yue. He was stunned and then he thought that such news should be in the social version!
When he flipped to the social version and browsed carefully, he found that it was mentioned that the police arrested several drug-hiding guys last night during the inspection. He was immediately happy. However, it seemed that Chu Yue did not mention it! He looked through it carefully again and still found nothing, and was stunned!
How is that possible! Didn’t he go yesterday? Various speculations kept popping up in Cai Jiaguan’s mind. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, quickly changed into clothes and went out to the company. After asking, he found out that creators like Chu Yue and Du Qifeng were having a meeting! He was even more confused. Chu Yue, an actor, is not a creator, so what kind of meeting to go?
Not long after, Chu Yue walked out of the conference room with a smile on his face. He benefited a lot this time! It was not his turn to attend such a meeting, but he made a request to Adu and said that he would only listen and not say anything! Then, he learned a lot here!
As soon as Cai Jiaguan saw him, he knew that his plan had failed, but how could it fail? Chu Yue certainly didn't know that he was tampering with the help of the enemy, and he suddenly felt puzzled!
Dai Jiayao and Liang Luoshi dared not tell the company about this, for fear of causing trouble. Chu Yue was too lazy to pay attention to the guy with an overly-eyed eyebrows in front of him, but he did not expect that Cai Jiaguan would be tampering with what happened yesterday. After all, he is his agent and shares honor and disgrace with him!
The 42nd Golden Horse Awards also began the award ceremony vigorously during this period. Finally, after Lai Ming, Aaron Kwok finally won the Best Actor Award and completed the Great Perfection of the Four Heavenly Kings (Jackie Chan won the Best Supporting Actor back then). What is touching is that after Aaron Kwok won the award, he was very excited, just like Shu Qi. One proved that he was not the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings, and the other washed away the former third-level actor.
What excited Ah Hao was that his idol You Hai finally won the best screenwriter for "The Underworld" this time with Jinma. However, Chu Yue won nothing, and he himself was not nominated for "The Underworld". Although he performed very well in "The Wolf", "The Wolf" was not too late to register, and he had to participate in the Golden Horse Awards for the coming year.
Of course, the Golden Horse is just a Golden Horse, and there is no way to stop their work. Ah Hao once again continued to devote himself to creating "Site Service 2", but this time he wanted to associate the second part with the first and third episodes, which was very difficult.
"Exile" and "Firstline Service" started filming around the world. Chu Yue performed both of these dramas, and the makeup of both films was done by his former team! Originally, the company did not allow him to act in "Exile", and later he nodded after the talks.
The plot of "Fastline Service" is the key to attracting Adu, otherwise he might not be willing to direct this drama, and Chu Yue will play the male lead. In this drama, Chu Yue plays the male lead Lin Jingwen, while Wu Zhenyu plays the thief named A Xin. Liu Qingyun joins the film and plays the policeman Achang, and Peier plays Lin Jingwen's assistant Keer.
This drama is not a big production, at best, it is just a medium production, and the cast is far from being strong. What people are curious about is that after Chu Yue played two supporting roles, he was quickly promoted to the leading role. Whether he can be competent, and he still has to play against two masters of acting skills!
Acting is not just a performance of the body and eyes, but also an interpretation of the characters! Chu Yue has been trying to analyze the characters he wants to play for several days!
The play itself does not mention Lin Jingwen's background. To put it simply, this is a mysterious figure of unknown origin. However, in the second episode that Ah Hao is writing, some background is roughly added, and it is vaguely mentioned that Lin Jingwen was born from the Chinese special forces.
After considering it, Chu Yue ignored the identity background proposed in the second episode. At that time, Ah Hao could definitely give a good explanation. However, even so, it would not be easy for him to play such a role well.
According to his analysis, Lin Jingwen's personality is free and unrestrained, so he can be more relaxed in body language. Moreover, Lin Jingwen is very confident in doing anything, knowledgeable and amazingly capable, and not afraid of life and death. After obtaining all this personality analysis, Chu Yue had a general concept.
"A role like this should be more relaxed and has more facial expressions." Chu Yue thought of 007. Although "First Wire Service" is not like 007, in order to avoid being associated with the film, he felt that Lin Jingwen should not be the gentlemanly and elegant type, but a type full of personality and wisdom!
"Well, if 007 encounters a dangerous situation, it must be completed in the most elegant way, without any embarrassment. Then, Lin Jingwen should be..." Chu Yue hesitated for a moment. It would be really not easy to separate from 007: "It can be very embarrassing, very embarrassing..."
After thinking about it, I felt that this seemed inappropriate. Lin Jingwen must be the protagonist in the play. If he had no charm at all, how could he attract the audience? So, after hesitating, Chu Yue gave this character another definition: no matter in any dangerous or embarrassed situation, he must smile confidently!
Thinking of this, he rolled over on the ground without hesitation, then patted himself and stood up and looked into the mirror! Several large mirrors were installed on all four walls of his bedroom, which could help him hone his acting skills anytime and anywhere!
Looking at himself in the mirror, he always felt that his smile and the confidence conveyed were not enough. He rolled up again and stood up, patted his clothes as if nothing had happened. He was satisfied and thought: Maybe he could add an action to the protagonist and a habitual action!
A habitual movement can make the characters more lively and psychological activities can be displayed more clearly. This is what the teacher has not taught, but Chu Yue’s own understanding and view. Rather than action, it is a repetitive mystery.
Repetition is annoying most of the time, just like an author who wrote a movie novel and then wrote a movie novel! However, on the screen, repetition is not often annoying.
The most typical one is "Dark War". In this drama, Xia Zai and Liu Qingyun have a game of going to the police station three times! This kind of repetitive plot, no matter what movie it is, is mostly dead. However, You Hai wrote new ideas, and Adu also played new ideas.
In completely different situations or atmospheres, through the repetition of scenes or lines, unexpected and strong effects can be achieved in a twilight and tortuous manner. Among the directors in Hong Kong and even all Chinese, Adu is definitely the best at using this trick.
After thinking about it, Chu Yue stuck out his tongue slightly, but felt that this was too naive. He tried to smile again, but he seemed a little stupid. He changed his smile, but it seemed a little pornographic! Thinking of his actions of patting clothes just now, he felt a little moved, changing this action to tidy up clothes, or slapping dust!
Looking at his movements in the mirror, he felt that this was not too beautiful. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized something and smiled quietly. He raised his head and poked his hand to tidy it on his collar! The effect was...
But all this is far from that simple. Actors are easy to do, but good actors are difficult to do!
Chu Yue once again began to analyze Lin Jingwen's psychological world. If you want to perform a sense of layering of characters, it is absolutely necessary to have the actor's psychological understanding and presentation of the characters. Since you can't understand it, how can you talk about presentation? Instead of acting hard, it's better not to act. Since you do it, you have to do the best!
In the second episode written by Ah Hao, it was vaguely mentioned that Lin Jingwen was a former member of the Chinese special forces. Why did Lin Jingwen retire and why did he come to Hong Kong to do such a strange business? Are there any emotional entanglements? These are all things that Chu Yue needs to analyze.
Chu Yue quietly lay on the bed, gradually imagining Lin Jingwen's first half of his life, gradually immersing himself in it. In an instant, he seemed to see himself beating in mud and water, grinding in the mountains and forests, and experiencing a relationship that was about to break...
After filming for a few days, this day was Chu Yue’s first day with two other starring actors. When he thought of seeing his favorite actor, he was extremely nervous and at a loss. He didn’t know how to perform when he arrived!
In fact, Chu Yue is on the scene now, and he can also see Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu putting on makeup not far from him! They are now in a mall in a building, and the Light and Shadow Company borrowed some venue from this mall to shoot one of the highlights!
This is a public place, so naturally there is no dressing room for them to use, and there is only a temporary locker room built with a few rifles. Chu Yue’s past makeup artist didn’t live on Chu Yue’s face and applied: “A Yue, your muscles are too tight, so I won’t be able to deal with it!”
"Ha, ha, ha..." Ah Hao was like singing a big show, rolling the script into a tube and laughing to the sky. Seeing the staff around him glaring at him, he lowered his voice awkwardly: "I didn't expect you to have a tense day, and I finally waited for you!"
"Wait for me? Let's go and wait for your Sister Hui!" After Ah Hao's disturbance, Chu Yue suddenly relaxed a lot. While he was grateful, he was merciless in his mouth!
Sister Hui is the beauty Ah Hao has been pursuing recently. She opened a clothing store in Central. Ah Hao met Ah Hui only after accompanying Chu Yue to buy clothes last time. Chu Yue hated her the most, but in private envy her that Ah Hao actually said that he likes older than him! Fortunately, Ah Hao is obviously not a Lolik control or something!
The costumes, hairstyles and makeup were all finished. The drama agency explained the plot to Chu Yue, and walked into the performance area with Chu Yue, and came to the director with Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun!
The play is about to begin...
