Chapter 1411 1513. Anyone can be a good actor (Part 2)

When Nie Wei pointed out the mistakes of a group of actors, Yang Ying stood behind him.

At this moment, she was under great pressure.

Because of the images on the monitor, every performance of those people seemed great to her, but Nie Wei was not satisfied. She was originally only slightly stressed about the guest appearance, but now she was under great pressure.

The second performance began, but it failed. What made Yang Ying relieved was that the problem was not with her, because Ou Hao forgot the words before she had time to perform.

"Sorry, sorry." Ou Hao stood up and apologized to everyone, and quickly adjusted his state.

The third performance started, and it was very smooth at the beginning. Finally, it was Yang Ying's turn to enter the stage. After hearing Ou Hao cough twice to cover up his embarrassment at the time, Yang Ying's nervous little face was covered with a smile, and she greeted: "Sister Nan..."

At first, she was a little nervous, but after entering the stage, Nie Wei did not call for a stop. Yang Ying gradually gained some confidence, thinking that this time she would pass?

She felt a little relaxed, and she also remembered the things Nie Wei asked her to pay attention to before, so she really glanced at Du Jiang when she spoke.

Nie Wei stopped the show until she finished her scene.

"Ask the actors to come over, and ask the props to replace the food on the table." Nie Wei picked up the intercom and ordered.

Food props should be the most consumed props in the crew, so they usually prepare a few more. After all, no one can guarantee that the actors will pass in one take.

Yang Ying followed everyone to Nie Wei's side, feeling very uneasy, afraid that the problem was only with her.

"Tian Ai, is the food not to your taste? You only picked up one chopstick from the beginning to the end and kept chewing. People who don't know would think you were chewing gum? Eat a few more bites later. If you are afraid of getting fat, ask the props to put some corn, radish, etc. for you."

"Sorry, director." Tian Ai smiled embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just a small problem." Nie Wei said, and then called Yang Ying over: "Brother Xiaoming is so handsome, he must be popular with girls. Have you never been jealous?"

Yang Ying hesitated, not knowing how to answer. Of course she was jealous, and often, but it was so embarrassing to say it out loud.

Nie Wei smiled, and without waiting for Yang Ying to think of an answer, he said directly: "When you greeted, you were still off-screen. When you are about to come in after greeting, you can scan the crowd here first, pay special attention to Du Jiang for a while, and then you can talk to Yuan Quan normally."

Nie Wei stood up, took the actors to the dining table, asked the actors to take their positions, and asked Yang Ying to stand aside, and he took the initiative to demonstrate.

At first, Yang Ying was a little overwhelmed, just like a student being punished by the teacher, feeling hot on the face and very awkward.

"Yang Ying, walk here, the camera will start to focus on your face, and the eyes will start to scan here." Nie Wei did not simply perform once, but broke down the performance step by step and told Yang Ying.

Just like teaching a child a math problem, in addition to telling her the answer, he also explained every step of the problem to Yang Ying.

Because he found that Yang Ying was a bit "stupid".

Her comprehension was not enough, and she could not directly restore the scene of the director's explanation in her mind. For this situation, Nie Wei would rather tell her the answer directly and let her try to "copy" it instead of letting her waste time looking for a feeling that she could not find at all.

Not to mention, this woman's ability to imitate is still good. After Nie Wei explained it once, he re-shot it. Her performance was really good. He re-shot it again, and this one was finally passed.

"Thank you, director." When Yang Ying heard Nie Wei shout "pass", she was stunned and moved.

She didn't know how long she hadn't felt like facing a great enemy on the set. Nie Wei's repeated re-shooting really made her tremble with fear.

"Prepare for the second scene."

Yang Ying hadn't been moved for a few seconds when she heard Nie Wei shouting, "Prepare for the second scene." In an instant, she was no longer moved and once again felt terrified.

"Do you need me to perform it for you again?" After explaining the scene to everyone, Nie Wei asked Yang Ying specifically.

Yang Ying naturally thought so in her heart, but seeing that everyone else was looking at her at this moment, their eyes seemed to be a little subtle, Yang Ying still shook her head against her will.

The result was terrible, and Nie Wei couldn't watch it halfway through.

This scene was much more difficult than the first scene just now, and the main actor of the opposite scene was also replaced by Du Jiang. Yang Ying's role in the play was Du Jiang's girlfriend. Du Jiang's character was a bit romantic and loved to flirt with women, so Yang Ying came over to say hello and looked at Du Jiang for a while, which was actually a "warning" to Du Jiang.

"You and Du Jiang are not enemies. Just treat him as your husband. If your husband Xiao Ming is intimate with other girls during work, what do you think?"

"I will be a little jealous."

"Yes, so you have to act with jealousy in this scene, but it doesn't mean you have to act coquettishly with him." Nie Wei pulled Du Jiang over, pointed at him and said, "You are here to 'warn' him. If you are the offensive party in this scene, you should overwhelm him in momentum."

"Look at what this line says? I'm here to see Nan Jie, not to see you."

"For the first sentence between the two of you, you must act out the feeling of caring in your heart but not caring on the surface. Your performance in this section just now was too weak. The interaction between the two of you should have a competitive feeling. You can try to push him away when he comes over."

"And here, as the saying goes, you should give a sweet date after a blow. Now that you have given your boyfriend a 'warning', you should give him a little sweetness..."

"So here you can actually lean towards Du Jiang and gently tap your cheek with your finger. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Yang Ying nodded. Although Nie Wei did not demonstrate it personally this time, Nie Wei told her almost every detail of the acting. If she still couldn't understand it, she would really quit the circle.

After reshooting, there was still no improvement, but Nie Wei could see that Yang Ying's performance had indeed improved.

"Yang Ying feels good, shoot another one."

After being encouraged by Nie Wei, Yang Ying was in high spirits. The second take was super long, and the actors who played opposite her did not have any problems. This one passed the test directly.

"Come and take a look?" Nie Wei called the actors over to watch the playback together.

Nie Wei simply connected the two scenes together. Yang Ying watched very seriously. Gradually, her expression was a little surprised, because the familiar her in the monitor was a little strange today.

"Is this really my performance?" Yang Ying had a flash of doubt in her mind, and then she looked at Nie Wei, her eyes sparkling.

For the first time, she felt that she had acted so well.

Her expression was natural, without any affectation, and her lines were well-spoken. In short, she saw her character among a group of acting talents, but there was no sense of disobedience.

Yang Ying really didn't think that she could act so well.

After Nie Wei finished the two scenes, he looked at his watch. It was already dark outside, so he announced that dinner was served.

"Director, thank you so much today. How about I treat you to dinner?" Yang Ying found Nie Wei and wanted to treat him.

Although there were only two scenes today, it took nearly two hours to shoot, and most of the time was delayed by her, and Nie Wei really took care of her. She had never heard such a detailed explanation of the play, just as seriously as she taught Little Sponge to talk and walk at home.

Eh? Thinking of this, Yang Ying was stunned. Did Nie Wei also treat her as a child who knew nothing?

"No need, we can just order the working meal of Sichuan Airlines." Nie Wei smiled and invited Yang Ying to eat together. The two of them ordered some dishes and found an empty table to sit down.

During the meal, Yang Ying mustered up the courage to ask Nie Wei about the lack of improvement in her acting skills.

Speaking of professionalism, Yang Ying was wrong, but the fault cannot be attributed to her alone.

The problem of TV series cutouts came from the communication problem between the crew and the agency behind Yang Ying. Yang Ying's commercial contract could not have been decided by her alone, but must have been arranged by the agency behind the scenes.

Nie Wei learned that during that period, Yang Ying signed a gambling agreement with Huayi Company. Huayi invested in the acquisition of an entertainment company jointly established by several artists including Yang Ying at that time, but required the company to earn a certain amount of money within a few years to complete the gambling agreement and get the huge benefits.

And for this goal, the artists under the company naturally have to be fully booked. As a popular female star, Yang Ying's burden is even the heaviest among all the artists in any company.

This is not uncommon in the industry. Many stars, such as Yang Mi and Fan Binbin, want to enter the capital market through this kind of gambling. Of course, there are winners and losers, but no matter what, as long as a star signs such an agreement, her reputation is doomed to decline.

Because generally such agreements have a time limit, ranging from one year to three years, depending on whether the capital is optimistic about the star's prospects.

But no matter how long it takes, in order to achieve the goal, the stars who signed the agreement during this period will become less picky when choosing dramas and endorsements.

The sieve is widened, and naturally some bad ones will be screened in.

At the same time, a lot of work takes up the artists' time, leaving them not only without time to rest, but even affecting their normal work, and Yang Ying is like this.

Of course, the choice was made with the artist's consent, so Nie Weicai said she was also wrong.

As for the remaining news about pretending to eat, it was Yang Ying's own unprofessionalism, but the director did not ask her to do so, so she just muddled along. Otherwise, why could Yang Ying fight so hard in a certain variety show, eat everything, and dare to wade in the mud, but become a pampered little princess in the crew?

"Your attitude is problematic." Nie Wei was not polite to Yang Ying, and directly pointed out Yang Ying's problem.

"There were rumors that you pretended to eat, why didn't you eat at that time?"

"Director, I wish, the eggs have been there for a long time, not to mention that they are bright, and there are flies on them. I asked the director if he could change a plate for me, and the director told me that it was too troublesome and asked me to just pretend."

"So you agreed?" Nie Wei smiled and said, "As an actor, it is a good habit to listen to the director, but you can't do it according to the director's requirements without a bottom line."

"But what if it gets out and someone says I am a big shot?" Yang Ying said worriedly.

As an artist with a negative reputation, she is really afraid of bad rumors, and she is really paranoid, because people who like you may not speak out to support you, but people who hate you will flock to you like flies seeing cracked eggs.

"The audience will not care about the process, but only the results. If you act well, you will naturally be praised and praised, and the world will be peaceful. But if you don't perform well, no matter how dedicated you are during the filming, in the eyes of the public, you are still an actor they hate and ridicule."

Reality is sometimes so cruel.

Sometimes, the rumors that a certain actor is a drama tyrant are not groundless, but the final result presented by the actor is good, and the audience will naturally filter out negative information.

It's like a team that has been losing all year, with fluctuating results, but finally won the championship, then it is the best.

But another team has always performed very well, but just lost once in the end, then this team is disappointing and will be scolded.

Yang Ying was silent, not knowing whether he felt the same way after listening to Nie Wei's words.

"Hey, don't think too much, I just want you to stick to the right thing, not to go against the director." Nie Wei said jokingly.

"I know, thank you director." Yang Ying forced a smile.

"Also, are you ready to learn acting systematically? I see that your basic skills are very poor." Nie Wei asked again.

"I have acting classes in the company."

"I mean to learn systematically, not just one or two classes a month or even half a year." Nie Wei shook his finger. He knew the company's acting classes very well.

Trainees are fine, because there are not many activities, and the courses are relatively fixed and organized. But for popular artists like Yang Ying, it is rare to have a class once a month, and it is more common that they can't have a class for several months, and even if they do, they can basically learn nothing.

For acting, you must go through systematic learning, and you can't just listen to one or two classes and understand the essence.

Without accumulated knowledge and experience, how can acting improve?

"If you want to learn acting, I suggest you find a professional school. If you really want to go, I can help you contact Beijing Electric. Of course, considering that you are very busy, you can also find a special acting teacher to follow you and teach you for one hour every day, but the cost may be high."

"Like your current problem, it is purely in the basics of acting. You can't even do the basic analysis and understanding of the role. It's hard for your acting to make a leap forward."

Nie Wei's words are very straightforward, but they make sense. It's like you didn't learn elementary school math well, and you say you are a scientist. What's the difference between this and joking?

Of course, I don't deny that there are really such evil geniuses who can learn without a teacher, but Yang Ying is obviously not one of them.

In today's two scenes, Nie Wei saw that Yang Ying was not only not a genius, but actually a bit "stupid". If she wants to continue on the path of an actor, she must work harder than others to be recognized.
