Chapter 1025: Frustrated Xiaona and Reba
"Ning Hao, Lao Meng is a little strange. He has been asking us for a week of wine. This is not his style!"
After Wu Jing finished filming the special forces soldier resting at home in Guiyang, the first draft of the Wolf Warrior script he was holding in his hand was already written, but the screenwriters were not very satisfied and had to worry about it;
I thought Xu Zheng had joined the group and no one should have organized the bureau, but I didn’t expect Meng Qingzhou to emerge;
"Hehe, is it very strange? Apart from the little things in his family, what else can stump him? Look, this wine will have to be drunk for a few days!"
The two of them sent Meng Qingzhou, who was a little confused, into the car, and stood there in vernacular language while waiting for the assistant;
Wu Jing nodded with a sudden realization: "It makes sense. It seems that the matter of turning around the brand is really not something that ordinary people can do."
Although Lao Meng didn't say anything, his abnormal behavior had long been seen through by several drinkers, because every time he drank, there was no one around him. What a big news, Boss Meng cannot lack beauty around him;
The two heroines of "Zhu Xian" have won the roles with the support of Lin Yufen and Jin Shuli. Their reactions were one joy and one sad;
The fairy had an irresistible attitude towards this drama. Because of the little fox's instigation, it aroused a little interest, but it was not as strong as the performance. Now that he got the role, he was treated hard by the vixen for two nights. The girl's dream of attacking and defense was shattered again, and she was feeling depressed;
Xiaoyuanhai really likes this role. Although she cooperated with Mimi to perform a scene for Qingzhou, she was very satisfied if the result was good;
"Uncle is too much. Xiaona, you said, let's play Lu Xueqi and Biyao, sister Xi and sister Xiaogu are so bad. I didn't let him in, you're a stingy!"
"And Director Lin actually said that we are not talented actors, what? We don't have talented actors!"
It is actually meaningless to simply say whether an actor eats talent or not. Because fundamentally speaking, an actor does not have the ability to express himself freely, he is essentially just a "tool person". But on the other hand, the "skill" of performance can be discussed.
The reason why it is meaningless to simply discuss the "talent" of actors is because in the film and television industry, there are major creators, that is, directors, who decide what kind of actors to use.
The core of the director's choice of an actor is not the actor's "talent", but whether the actor can express his creative intentions. Sometimes, the director even deliberately uses newcomers for the sake of ambiguousness and clumsiness.
For example, in Zhang Yimou's "No One Can Leave", Wei Minzhi is like this. Wang Baoqiang, who won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award for "Blind Well", was hard to say how good his acting skills were at the beginning, but he did interpret the role appropriately.
The most representative one is Xia Yu in "Sunny Days". He won the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival with his performance in this movie. He was only 17 years old that year. But to be fair, in "Sunny Days", Xia Yu's performance is certainly amazing, but after winning the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, is she really good at performing her performance skills comparable to those of top domestic actors like Tang Guoqiang and Li Xuejian?
As for Xia Yu, after "Sunny Days", Xia Yu himself has never won an internationally recognized heavyweight award again, and it is hard to say how good his performance in subsequent films and TV dramas are.
This is the paradox in Xia Yu - you say he has no talent, but he won the real actor of the Venice Film Festival at a young age. This is an achievement that many actors can never achieve in their entire lives. But if you say he has talent, why did he "get everyone" later?
On the other hand, many famous actors at home and abroad often perform well in the early stages, but as they grow older, their acting skills tend to become more sophisticated and proficient. This also shows from another aspect that acting skills can be trained.
But today when we talk about acting, it is easy to deviate from specific works and situations and regard acting as an independent thing. In fact, it is not the case. Actors are tools used by creators to express themselves, and each "tool" has its own most suitable application scenario.
An excellent director must first understand that he is to choose a competent "tool" for his creation, and even discover the hidden shining side of the "tool" - in "Sunny Days", Jiang Wen showed his outstanding vision when choosing "tools".
For many actors, what they lack is not acting skills, but a good script and suitable role. For example, Fan Bingbing, do you think she has acting skills or no acting skills? If you look at a movie like "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", you will think Fan Bingbing is a bad actor.
However, just before filming "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", Fan Bingbing won the Best Actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival because of her performance in "Guanyin Mountain". The two films are both the same Fan Bingbing. Why is one movie scolded and the other movie winning the award? Or is it because the role in "Guanyin Mountain" allows Fan Bingbing to perform better.
Of course, for the director, how to "train" the actors is also a reflection of the director's skills. For example, in "The Legend of Wulin", a famous joke is that director Shang Jing first fooled Yu Entai into reading a bunch of books, but before filming, he told him that those books were useless. In this way, Yu Entai performed the unappreciated spirit of Lu Xiucai.
And in this incident, the most interesting thing is that Yu Entai cannot get into the state by himself - because Yu Entai cannot tell himself that you first read some useless books, and then you will be more excited to be unhappy. In this way, he will never be able to act like "unhappy to be unhappy". Only when the director "spoofs" him and makes him completely unaware of the matter can he inspire his final performance state. Therefore, a good director must be a director who knows how to "train" actors, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, etc., all of them are.
What is interesting is that although actors are talented, many directors actually have not studied acting specifically, but their acting skills are not inferior at all. For example, Zhang Yimou starred in "Old Well" as an actor, and with this debut work, Zhang Yimou directly won the Best Actor at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Feng Jugang won the Best Actor Award for his performance in "Old Cannon". Many times, an excellent director is at least most excellent actor.
But on the other hand, for directors, if there are actors who can cooperate for a long time, it will often lead to great growth for both parties. This is because when the director becomes familiar with the actors, he will subconsciously change the plot to a suitable state for the actors to perform, which will not only help the actors show their "acting skills", but also better show their ideas.
For example, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li’s golden partner, at the beginning, only Zhang Yimou discovered Gong Li’s talent, but behind Gong Li’s ability to create so many excellent roles was that Zhang Yimou spent a lot of effort to design plots and scenes suitable for Gong Lilai. When we talk about Gong Li’s acting skills, we are more talking about her acting skills in movies such as "Red Sorghum", "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", "Ju Dou", "Living", "Qiu Ju Finger", rather than her acting skills in movies such as "Tang Bohu Points Qiu Xiang", and "Three Fights of the Bone Demon".
Regarding the relationship between actors' acting skills and roles, Liu Minhui once said that when enrolling students in Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama and other institutions, enrollment personnel would prefer to recruit different types of students. This is because each performance student must rehearse a graduation play as a proof of the teacher's teaching results. In this way, enrollment personnel must consider the adaptability between candidates and different roles when enrolling students.
For example, in "Thunderstorm", Zhou Puyuan, Zhou Chong, Zhou Ping and Lu Dahai are all men, but the temperament they want to show is completely different. Take the Central Academy of Drama actors who are familiar to most people. Liu Haoran must be awkward in playing Zhou Puyuan? His face and feeling cannot bring out Zhou Puyuan's sinisterness. What if you ask Hu Jun to play Zhou Chong? His domineering spirit is not something that a naive young master like Zhou Chong should have. Therefore, although Liu Haoran and Hu Jun are both very good actors, they can only play in their respective acting ways, and it is impossible for many people to imagine that "what they play is like".
Since actors only need to find a role that suits them, why do actors need to hone their acting skills?
Because not every actor can find a suitable role and have a dedicated director to help him. For most actors, acting is a skill to make a living. The value of "acting" lies in ensuring that you have a basic lower limit when you cannot receive the right role.
Or, in many places where you cannot use your existing talents, you have to rely on your "acting skills" to make yourself have a good performance. This is why there are many old actors in film and television dramas - if you only show their performance in any film and television drama, you cannot be so perfect, but at least in most works, even in bad movies and bad dramas, they can still perform stably.
It’s like a chef who can cook a few specialty dishes, but he must also be able to cook hundreds of other dishes. You have to ensure that when a customer does not order your specialty dishes, the other dishes you cook must also satisfy everyone’s food.
In general, talent determines the upper limit of actors' performance, and acting determines the lower limit of actors' performance. For most actors, their performances cannot reach the level of talent, or lack an appropriate time to compete for talent. The purpose of honing their acting skills is to make themselves a job as a performer when they are not talented, and to increase their chances of meeting suitable roles through the improvement of acting skills.
"Haha, I think you are a stingy person. Everyone united to tease him. Even if Lao Meng was not angry, he was a good person. You don't know that, can you blame him all? Also, since Sister Zixuan agrees, I advise you to cooperate honestly and not make any mistakes!"
These two little ones were trying to compete with their sisters for roles, and even Liu Minhui was pulled to be lobbyists by them, but the result was still not. The girl was much more enthusiastic than Gulina, so she naturally felt that she was not happy;
Reba reached out and pinched Xiaona's face, and said fiercely: "You are really a little wife. Men have cheated on you. You are so calm and amazing!"
"Bah! Is that my own? If I am alone, I can't help but react bigger than Sister Mi!"
Zixuan walked in with Xiaoxuan. Seeing them whispering on the sofa, she asked curiously: "What are you muttering about? You are still angry but you didn't choose?"
"I'm not angry. Sister Qian and the others are indeed more suitable than us. Besides, they are all our own people, so how can they really grab them?"
"Tsk, look at your sad face, you don't think about it. Qingzhou will lose money. Even if he doesn't say it, Xiaohu has prepared a big drama for you two. She originally acted it herself, but now she doesn't plan to film it in order to prepare for pregnancy."
"Ah? It's not three lives, right? Sister Zixuan, it's true. Sister Mi got the adaptation rights for this drama and was happy for several days. She was willing to give it to me and Xiaona?"
Meng Qingzhou didn't drink much. After getting in the car for a while, he was fine. He pushed the door and heard the girl ask Zixuan;
"What are you willing to give up? Reba, who do you want to change jewelry with?"
There are many women, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., and Reba is a person who likes to dress up. He has to talk to his sisters every once in a while, asking for this or that, so Lao Meng asked this;
"Hmph, who said it was a jewelry change? It was Sister Mi's Three Lifes and Three Lifes? Sister Zixuan said she was going to let me and Xiaona play together. Uncle, you won't object, right?"
The girl knows that the copyright that Meng Qingzhou asked Xiaohu to buy for Three Life Three Worlds is definitely not bad!
Meng Qingzhou was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, this fairy tale drama that brought Yang Xiaohu back to life had completely changed roles, but it was not outrageous;
Actors, especially actresses, are based on their appearance, and their acting skills are charm bonuses. If you have a good reputation for being popular among the people, you won’t be too bad in anything you play;
Meng Qingzhou's favorite character, Jia Gui in "Underground Traffic Station", gave him a deep impression. The director is very good at picking people. Teacher Yan Guanying, whether in terms of performance or his own appearance, was chosen by Director Yingda. Moreover, this character is also tailor-made based on his appearance. He really expresses the treacherous and cunning and flattery of a traitor to the fullest, which is amazing, as if he was that traitor.
In fact, the choice of this character is just like his appearance. He is naturally skinny and has excellent acting skills. He has appeared in many plays, most of which are villains. When people see it, they always feel that he is a bad person. Therefore, this is also his own talent for appearance.
Therefore, even if you have a good role, whether it can fit your own image is what the actors should value the most. Not every actor is Leslie Cheung;
Differentiated image shaping, once it collapses, no matter how big a big star is, you will still regret it;
"What do I object to? I am a minority in my family and no one can afford to offend you. Your uncle is now a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts to beat you. Reba, let's see you!"
Zixuan smiled slightly at Lao Meng and asked her son to kiss him. The mother and mother turned around and went to the house behind. The mud Buddha was still angry. Since he agreed to Xiaohu, Tianniu decided to support him to the end;
Seeing that the two little girls wanted to escape, Meng Qingzhou quickly grabbed Reba: "I still want to run away, Reba, you are so bad!"
Several girls mainly wear comfortable clothes at home. The girl wore a pink cotton nightgown, and her fair calves appeared and disappeared while she was running. After being caught by Lao Meng, she smiled at his uncle with a good look on her face;
He said flatteringly: "Hehe, uncle, Xiaona and I are both firmly standing on your side, but the enemy is powerful and we can't afford to offend you. You don't want your most obedient baby to be wronged, right?"
"Puff!" Gulina, who was focused on watching the show, couldn't help laughing. Reba's expression was so funny;
"What do you say tonight?"
The girl and Gulina looked at each other, and there was a different meaning in both of them;
Meng Qingzhou's expression was relaxed, and he shouldn't be alone in the empty room today!
