Chapter 498 Talking about drama
This scene was filmed five times over and over again, but it didn't pass.
In fact, it can't be completely blamed on Bai Qingcen.
Because the TV series "Song of Light and Blood" is not shot in sequence.
What is sequential shooting?
The order in which we watch TV is sequential shooting.
The emotions of the actors in each link are continuous, and there is no need to jump scenes or trace the cause and effect. You just need to follow the plot and don't have to worry about the actors' emotions not being able to be mobilized.
However, sequential shooting is very expensive and very time-consuming.
In order to save time and money costs, save the venue and the actors' time, the shooting will be adjusted, which is more conducive to saving costs in all aspects.
However, actors are also human beings, and it is difficult to jump scenes.
In the previous link, you and I are still in love, and in the next scene, you are fighting for your life. It is normal that the emotions are not in place.
This time, Cheng Ling was injured, and the shooting was adjusted. It is also normal that the emotions cannot be switched.
Bai Qingcen filmed the same scene more than a dozen times, but it didn't pass.
The performance was worse each time.
The last time, he even made the mistake of forgetting the words.
The director waved his hand, not criticizing anything, just said: "Skip 231 scenes, shoot 156, Chen Yixu, Gao Hang, Tang Qing prepare - Bai Qingcen and Cheng Ling, take a rest first, adjust your mood."
Bai Qingcen looked very bad, and apologized very sincerely: "I'm sorry everyone... Today, I'm not in the right mood."
The director waved his hand: "It's okay, go to the side and rest for a while, look through the script, and put your emotions into place. Hongcha didn't realize that she had a little special little thought, it was just a simple possessiveness."
"Everyone has possessiveness. It's especially obvious between friends. When we were young, each of us was sad because our best friend made new friends, right?"
"You are showing too much emotion now."
"Thank you, director. I'll try to figure it out." Bai Qingcen said, and walked to the outside.
Her agent, Da K, came over with a cashmere scarf and a thermos cup filled with warm water, wrapped the scarf around her, handed her the cup, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's probably too cold. Hiss - I'm wearing so many clothes, and I feel shivering all over -"
As long as the director shouts "shoot", no matter how hot or cold it is, a dedicated actor must control his or her facial expressions and not let himself or herself show any emotions or feelings that are not related to the actors in the play.
Bai Qingcen barely curled the corners of her lips and did not refute.
She knew that it was not that she was cold, but that she did not find the right emotional point.
"Sister Cen," Cheng Ling came over wearing the coat that Sister Zhen gave her, "Do you want to go out with me for a walk?"
Bai Qingcen felt even more sorry for Cheng Ling in his heart.
Cheng Ling was really gentle.
Not only did she not blame herself, she also said "go out with me for a walk"...
Bai Qingcen nodded.
Cheng Ling held Bai Qingcen's hand, and the two walked out of the set.
Bai Qingcen could feel that Cheng Ling's palm was very gentle, like a small stove.
"Sister Cen, you're not in a good mood today... Do you want to hear my advice?" Cheng Ling asked.
Bai Qingcen was a little dejected, "Well, of course I do - hey, I'm such a loser -"
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "Don't say that to you. If you're a loser, there won't be many good actors. Besides, didn't you do all the previous scenes in one take? Sister Cen, your acting is too professional, just following the rules, imagining what Hongcha looks like, and then trying to perform -"
"In my opinion, actors are divided into three levels. The best first level is to act like what they play and integrate their own style."
"The second level is to act like what they look like - that is, to preset a kind of character in your mind for the character you play. image, and then act accordingly."
"The third level, whatever you act, you act like yourself. You don't understand the script at all."
"Sister Cen, you are about to become a first-class actor, but you still haven't gotten rid of the acting skills you learned in the academy. For example, look at Chen Yixu, the roles he has played, some are righteous, some are evil, some are careless, some are upright and brave, you can't trace the shadow of his previous role from one drama to the previous one."
"Guess how he did it?"
Bai Qingcen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "How did he do it?"
"Explain the role to others." Cheng Ling blinked.
"Explain?"
"Yes, explain. When you explain it to others, you will work harder to appreciate the inner meaning, refine the language, and you will understand more thoroughly."
This is also the best way to learn and remember.
"Every time Chen Yixu gets a new role, he will quickly read the script and imagine that he has to explain to another person what kind of person the character he plays is. In this scene, what is the purpose of his words and actions? What does it mean? Why does he do this?"
"Sister Cen, think about it carefully. Who is Hongcha? Don't think about Yingge's understanding. Just say your own understanding. Imagine why she said these words to Ye Shaoqiu today? Does she really want Ye Shaoqiu to know her own feelings?"
"This scene is the awakening of Hongcha's emotions, and it is also her first test."
"The first time means awkwardness and caution. Rather than righteous questioning."
Bai Qingcen was thoughtful.
She understood.
