Chapter 756 756. Progress
To distinguish whether an actor's acting is good or bad, many people will use the word "heartfelt" to judge.
But how to distinguish whether it is heartfelt or not, in Nie Wei's opinion, can actually be summarized in one word: details.
For actors, details are really very important. Actors are actually the same as those craftsmen and painters. They all need to pay attention to details. Craftsmen carve and make. If there is a step difference, the result may be very different. The same is true for actors. If your expression or your lines are not expressed well enough, it may create an image of not being heartfelt in the audience's mind.
In Du Heng's eyes, Nie Wei under the camera is simply a representative of acting to the extreme.
The pupils that shrink and tremble violently because of nervousness, the fine sweat on the forehead, and the feeling of being unable to breathe, are all presented in these short ten seconds.
If Nie Wei in front of him is not a well-known big star, if he is just a passerby, if he appears in front of him like this, Du Heng can guarantee that he will definitely treat him as a patient with anxiety attack and will not have the slightest doubt.
"Pass!" Du Heng shouted loudly at the impeccable performance, and at the same time, he felt that Nie Wei's acting skills were really great. Just when he thought so, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and it seemed to be sighing: "Nie Wei's acting skills are really great."
For a moment, Du Heng even thought that he had said what was in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses, because the voice that sounded in his ear was a woman's voice, and it couldn't be said by him. Turning around, he saw that Li Binbin had arrived at the scene without knowing when.
"It's great. Among the male actors under 40 years old in China, Nie Wei's acting skills can definitely be ranked in the top five." Du Heng praised with certainty.
As for those actors over 40 years old, Du Heng couldn't rank them, mainly because the profession of actors really gets better with age. It's not appropriate to compare Nie Wei, who is in his early twenties, with those old actors in their sixties and seventies. Moreover, the roles of those old actors have basically been finalized, and it's not easy to compare them with young actors.
But among these young and middle-aged male actors, Nie Wei's acting skills are really the best of the best. Du Heng dares to guarantee with his career that in the next ten years, Nie Wei can at least win all the acting awards in Asia. As for challenging the top film awards in Europe and the United States, it is not impossible. However, for Chinese actors, in addition to strength, they also need some luck.
"Sister Binbin, why did you come so early? I looked at the schedule and you will not have a role until the afternoon." Retracting his thoughts, Du Heng asked Li Binbin curiously.
You should know that actors seem to be a very free profession, but in fact, the work intensity of this profession is very high, and there is very little rest time. Among the actors Du Heng knows, basically one minute is split into two minutes. As long as there is free time, even if the conditions are bad, they will take the time to rest.
It is difficult for them to sleep for a long time, especially during major holidays or promotional periods. Basically, ten minutes, half an hour, two hours of fragmented time are put together every day to make up their whole day's sleep.
As for Li Binbin, who has to come to the set even if he has a half-day off, Du Heng is naturally a little puzzled.
"Of course I'm here to learn." Li Binbin replied with a smile. Seeing Nie Wei just coming over, he quickly greeted her: "Teacher Nie, good morning."
"Morning, Sister Binbin, why are you here so early? I remember you didn't have any scenes in the morning." As soon as they met, Nie Wei asked the same question as Du Heng, which made both of them laugh.
Li Binbin asked Nie Wei while laughing: "Do I look so lazy? You all ask me one by one when I get up early."
"No, in my impression, you actresses really like to sleep in." Nie Wei scratched his head and explained with a smile: "When my wife was filming, if she didn't have any scenes in the morning, she would sleep until noon. In short, she wouldn't get up until the sun was shining on her butt."
"I'll tell Shu Chang about this." Li Binbin rolled his eyes, thinking that the actresses in Nie Wei's eyes were definitely not normal actresses.
After a joke, while Nie Wei was putting on makeup and rushing to shoot the next scene, Li Binbin sat next to Nie Wei and asked Nie Wei for advice with a script.
This script is not an ordinary script. In addition to the role of the script itself, it is also Li Binbin's notes. Many of the places that he felt he couldn't grasp have been highlighted by Li Binbin with a highlighter, and he also took notes on each page with sticky notes to summarize some problems.
What Nie Wei has to do is to help Li Binbin solve these problems.
It is not quite accurate to say that it is teaching. In fact, Li Binbin's acting skills are excellent. What Nie Wei can do is to help her dig deeper on the basis of excellence, such as some lines that Li Binbin feels can't read the right emotions, or the eye-related drama, which are all Nie Wei's expertise.
Fifteen minutes later, after helping Li Binbin solve the problem of two lines, Nie Wei stood up again and stepped into the shooting scene.
Li Binbin waited on the side, watching Nie Wei's superb performance in front of the camera at the shooting scene, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
This brother, who is eleven years younger than her, has already gone ahead of her in the field of acting. In Lin Binbin's opinion, "born genius" is not enough to describe Nie Wei's talent. Especially this formal cooperation, she unconsciously developed a kind of admiration for Nie Wei.
Because whether as an actor playing opposite each other or discussing teaching with each other in private, Nie Wei convinced Li Binbin in terms of performance and knowledge.
She recalled that when she first asked Nie Wei for advice, she didn't expect to get an accurate answer, because she knew that the choices she gave were probably half and half, and it was difficult to tell which one was funny. However, after giving the question to Nie Wei, he was able to give Li Binbin an answer quickly, and gave her a reason that could completely impress her, making her firmly believe that this was the best way to act.
This is also why Li Binbin has been more and more diligent in asking Nie Wei for advice in the past few days. She feels that the biggest gain from filming this drama may not be popularity, nor the opportunity to go international. The most precious thing is actually the process of asking Nie Wei for advice. She has gained a lot. It is very likely that after she finishes filming this movie, her acting skills will also be improved. For someone with acting skills like her, this improvement is undoubtedly very rare.
For the whole morning, Li Binbin followed Nie Wei. When Nie Wei was acting, she watched him. When Nie Wei was resting, she asked him questions. During this time, she also found something very interesting, that is, Nie Wei always seemed to be full of energy.
Generally, actors will feel a little sluggish after acting for half a day, especially when encountering some emotional scenes, this situation will be more serious.
But in Li Binbin's observation, Nie Wei is different.
You should know that in this movie, Nie Wei has the most emotional scenes, but he is really energetic on the scene. Many times he will become the leader of the atmosphere on the scene, either pulling a few actors to make a little joke, telling a cold joke, or arranging the staff and busying this and that.
Li Binbin was very curious about this and asked Nie Wei for advice. According to Nie Wei, it was because of his success in martial arts. Because of this, Li Binbin also wanted to practice martial arts. If nothing else, just this good spirit was enough to make her heart move.
After finding out that Nie Wei was in great spirits, Li Binbin was afraid to disturb Nie Wei's rest at first, but now she has become somewhat unscrupulous. Basically, as long as Nie Wei is not busy, she will ask questions, seize every opportunity, and "exploit" Nie Wei's knowledge.
In addition to acting, Li Binbin also wants to learn how Nie Wei directs, so sometimes she will appear in the director's position. For this reason, the stage manager specially added a small pink chair next to Nie Wei's director's chair. This small chair belongs to Li Binbin.
In the afternoon, when Chen Daoming and other actors came to the set, Nie Wei would also become a student and ask these top actors for advice.
However, Nie Wei did not learn acting, but their style, in order to find a way for himself to continue to advance in acting. Nie Wei thought that by learning from the strengths of many people, he might be able to find the possibility of another breakthrough.
In this way, half a month passed unknowingly, and the filming of the movie has been nearly half completed. This progress exceeded Nie Wei's expectations. He thought it would be great to complete one-third in a month, but he didn't expect that the filming was almost completed in less than a month. At this speed, it will definitely be completed before July.
The filming progress of the movie was completed ahead of schedule, which is also good for the movie itself. This means that more time can be reserved for the special effects company to carve the movie. One more day will increase the quality of the movie. Of course, it can also save some funds. After all, the crew of hundreds of people spends a lot of money on food and accommodation every day.
The filming progress of "Assassin's League" is very fast, but it is still not as fast as "Blind Witness".
On May 1st, "Blind Witness" was officially completed.
Shu Chang is very satisfied with this comeback work. Although the style of this movie is depressing and heavy, a positive style can be seen in several important characters.
For example, the heroine Lu Xiaoxing, played by herself, lost not only her brother but also her sight in a car accident, but she did not give up, but continued to work hard for her dream of becoming a police officer. At the same time, she did not forget the sense of justice in her heart as a police officer. When encountering things that might be a crime, she did not escape, but bravely faced it.
There is also Lin Chong, played by Jing Boran, a college student who likes to eat, drink and have fun. At the beginning, he only reported the case for the bounty of the police, but later he also showed extraordinary courage and sense of justice.
There is also the police uncle, who was willing to believe in Lu Xiaoxing, a blind person, and gave her respect and trust. He was also a key figure who encouraged Lu Xiaoxing to continue investigating.
These characters are like beams of light piercing through the clouds, giving this depressing movie a rare light of hope.
For the first time playing a blind girl, Shu Chang also felt that it was very challenging, and she was also looking forward to what her fans would think of her interpretation of this role.
However, the crew, including the director, all praised Shu Chang's acting skills. In the director's words, Shu Chang's one-year break did not let her acting skills "rust", but instead helped her to gather strength and burst out with stronger energy.
He even predicted at the wrap-up party that Shu Chang would most likely win the Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse Awards next year.
Of course, the director's words are definitely a bit of a flattery, because Shu Chang is the wife of the company's big boss Nie Wei. However, this flattery is also based on the fact that Shu Chang's acting skills are really strong. Otherwise, if Shu Chang's acting skills are just the kind of awkward acting skills of a certain young actress, I'm afraid no one will believe him, and he's afraid that people will think he's mocking her.
And the director's praise is nothing wrong to other actors. After all, Shu Chang is an actress who has won two Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress. It seems normal to win another one, right?
When the wrap-up banquet ended, Shu Chang immediately asked her aunt to book a train ticket from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Mingzhu City.
"My husband also said that the two crews will meet in Hangzhou, and he will come to visit me at that time. Liar, big liar, I've finished shooting, and he hasn't come to visit me once." When Min Chun was holding the phone to book the ticket, Shu Chang kept muttering beside her.
"Oh, stop talking, I can't hear the phone clearly here." Min Chun was annoyed and pushed Shu Chang aside.
As Shu Chang's aunt, how could Min Chun not understand her niece? Even though she was complaining, she might be thinking about Nie Wei in her heart. Otherwise, how could she be so anxious to book a flight ticket?
As for those complaints, Min Chun thought they were just showing off their love in front of outsiders.
Without Shu Chang's interference, Min Chun quickly booked the train ticket.
"Aunt, what time is the train?" Seeing Min Chun hang up the phone, Shu Chang, who was staring at her not far away, asked immediately.
"The express train at 10 o'clock in the evening, we are lucky enough to book a double room. If we are on time, we can reach Mingzhu City in an hour. Now there are still three hours before departure. Let's pack our luggage quickly. It will take another hour to drive from the hotel to the airport." Min Chun looked at the clock on the wall and said.
Hearing this, Shu Chang didn't care about saying anything else. He immediately ran back to his bedroom to organize his clothes. Min Chun also hurried back to his room to organize his luggage.
At 10pm, the express train from Suzhou to Mingzhu City started on time. At this time, Nie Wei and Li Binbin were filming a night scene of a gunfight, and they had no idea that their wives had already arrived with their suitcases.
