In the corner of the set.

Liu Qingyun sat on a chair, holding the script in his hand and studying it word for word.

His talent may not be as good as Leung Gai Fai or Ng Chun Yu.

But he is very lucky, because the character Huang Agou is clearly talking about himself. He is also depressed and wants to get ahead.

When an actor performs in his true self, he often brings his own personality into the role when creating a character. It is easy to get into the role. Or it cannot be called entering the role, it can be called acting yourself.

Don't think that playing yourself is easy. In real life, you are a playboy. If you are asked to show the charm of a playboy on camera, you may not be able to perform well.

Otherwise, how come all the stars who play stars in movies are so special? There is a big difference between being in front of the camera and in real life. Even acting in TV series and acting in movies are very different.

Liu Qingyun worked very hard. In order to play Huang Agou well, he not only memorized his own lines, but also took the lines of several other characters from Wu Xiaozu. He studied the attitude and reaction that each character should have when speaking.

There is also one such hard-working and hard-working actor in the Mainland, called "Actor Zhang Yi", who is known on Zhihu!

Wu Xiaozu liked this kind of actors very much, or in other words, directors with normal artistic pursuits like this kind of actors, even though they are often ugly.

Well, actually, Wu Xiaozu felt that this kind of actor was more worry-free.

The wilted coat is inconspicuous, but it is like the military coat of the crew. It can be used when you put it on. It can be used to keep machines warm, actors can be kept warm, and it can be used as a cushion under the buttocks.

Therefore, although Liu Qingyun walked very casually and the rhythm was very casual, it still had the feeling that Wu Xiaozu wanted.

Depressed and frustrated, but not really unappreciated. This is the life desire of an ordinary Hong Kong person.

…

A small, dark space with flickering lights.

A camera was mounted on a crane to expand a large panorama, and Huang Yuetai was holding the camera with a happy face.

From the position Wu Xiaozu set for the actors, he saw a wonderful sense of space.

He had never seen this sense of space in films made by Hong Kong filmmakers.

The sense of space is a wonderful word. But in many scenic spot movies, the sense of space must be an essential element. Especially in group scenes, the most important thing to show is the director's control of the entire picture space.

Huang Yuetai feels that this drama is different from any previous drama.

If Wu Xiaozu heard his thoughts, he would praise him for his foresight.

From Kurosawa Akira's films to Du Laopao's films, they create a subtle atmosphere of spatial imagery that is intoxicating.

In the lens.

Liu Qingyun is sitting in the far left corner, facing the camera sideways, immersed in eating.

Sitting in the middle with a fat belly and a 45° angle to his right hand, Li Zhaoji and Louis Koo sat looking at each other with their legs crossed and the other holding a mirror.

The camera turned slightly, showing Luo Dong sitting on the table with a cigarette in his mouth. Diagonally behind him, Su Liyao sat there holding a newspaper.

The camera pans 180° to the door, where Wu Zhenyu is standing at the door holding a red travel bag.

Seven people are either sitting or standing, cleverly creating a "confrontation" spatial scene.

It looks like an irregular prismatic composition, but the sharp corners are facing others.

This scene in particular has the feel of a copycat of the vague confrontation in Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai". In fact, there are more or less the shadows of Akira Kurosawa in the films of Galaxy Image.

Just like Wu Yusen's film is the modern version of director Zhang Cai.

The seven people represent the seven emotions.

Joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear, surprise.

At the same time, these seven emotions also run through the entire story. From the beginning of the seven people's appearance to the end of them.

Standing outside the camera, Wu Xiaozu stared closely at Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun sat there, burying his head in his meal. He kept silent, not moving his body or his face. When observing people, he just rolled his eyes and wandered among them. This small detail perfectly conveyed a kind of distrust.

Wu Zhenyu, who was standing at the door, was just the opposite. He stood in front of the door and scanned everyone from left to right. His eyes did not blink and he only moved with his neck.

Different from the flat performances of the other five people, the performances of the two are very three-dimensional and full.

Use two different methods to deduce the emotions that need to be displayed.

One is restrained, the other is extroverted. One is reserved, and the other is tense.

From the perspective of director Wu Xiaozu, the performance of the two at this time has far exceeded that of most actors, not to mention those celebrities in later generations.

Li Xiaofeng and Actor Liao acted in "Psychological Crime", and his acting was so eye-catching that it completely overshadowed Actor Liao's shine. From his script skills to the expressions of the characters, it was simply "bad".

And the writing of this word is so fresh and refined.

Andy Lau's early scenes were equally bad. But at least if you let him act cool and handsome, like a gangster in "Heavenly Love", he can really touch people. The latter would just stare.

Liu Qingyun and Ng Chun-yu are different from Leung Gai-fai in their ability to act freely from the inside out.

In contrast, the two of them are still limited to the roles they are good at and have no comprehensive understanding. This was the case with Liu Qingyun in "Unforgettable" and "A Dumb Birthday". They had acting skills, but they were also very limited. Until they met Galaxy Image,

Only then did another kind of brilliance bloom.

In comparison, his restrained acting skills are difficult to impress the audience. But when the audience watches the show, they will be convinced by the role he plays, and it does not feel like he is acting too much.

Wu Jinyu is different. His acting is extravagant, very European and American style, and he is particularly easy to impress others.

So when the original "Young and Dangerous", "Mongkok Fit", "Bulletin", etc. came out, they were really amazing.

His neurotic performance was vivid and impressive. But it also limited his acting career. It was not until Jordan in "Juliet and Liang Shanbo" and Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs" that people saw that he was not just neurotic.

the other side of.

Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu are both good actors, with both talent and hard work.

Even if they are a bit ugly, Wu Xiaozu is willing to use actors like them.

This scene is very simple. It tells the story of seven unreliable people forming a gang to smuggle Pingzhi to Zhanjiang. Everyone talked about it and made it true, but in the end no one paid the bill. In the end, Liu Qingyun had no choice but to play the role.

Huang Agou pays the bill.

…

Seven Emotions. What Liu Qingyun first came to was ‘worry’.

What about the other six people?

It seems that he is happy to be fat, but in fact Wu Xiaozu labeled the character "Da Fei" as "fear". He himself deceived several brothers. In fact, he did not do business at all. He smuggled Wutai Pingzhi just to go there.

A gangster redeems his wife! So his exaggerated fear is reasonable. Because he is trying his best to cover up his fear.

"Ah Mao" played by Wu Jinyu represents 'happiness', a kind of absurd 'happiness', which is black because of its absurdity. His optimistic character setting will be fully displayed in the film, especially in the second part. A time of choice.

Everyone else also has their own settings! Each setting has an inevitable connection.

This method can not only give the audience an impression when they come up, but also facilitate integration inside and outside the play. The most important thing is to balance the acting skills of several people.

Needless to say, the performances of the entire crew, Liu Qingyun and Ng Chun-yu, are quite consistent with the frustrated setting in the play, and they can be performed with ease.

However, other people's performances were uneven.

Among them, Louis Koo, who is a newcomer, is the worst.

Stare at the camera.

I forget the lyrics while acting.

Performance lens range.

The expression is not in place.

In short, he has made all the mistakes that newcomers should make, and he has also made the same mistakes that newcomers should not make.

In this regard, Wu Xiaozu can only figure it out slowly. He can't let Louis Koo suddenly change into Liang Chaowei? This is too difficult for Hong Kong Island's bad version of Li Zi.

In a sense, actors are very similar to artists who engage in various other forms of artistic creation.

Anyone has the possibility to become an actor. But to become a real actor, you need strong professional qualities.

It can be said that it is impossible for a person who does not have the creative qualities that an actor should have to engage in the creation of performing arts.

For a real actor, the most important thing is naturally his innate talent. This is something I cannot envy.

The second is his extremely powerful learning ability.

The first point is that Louis Koo is very good. At least in terms of image, he is far superior to a lot of people. But the second point, maybe because of his age, he does not show any talent that is superior to others.
