Chapter 597: The Supporting Actor Plays the Protagonist’s Temperament
To be able to stand out from so many handsome young actors, there must be something excellent about them. Wu and Li are both young people who have squeezed out of the crowd. They are not lacking in talent or hard work. It's just that after becoming famous, the care and even pampering of fans have made them unconsciously feel in a unique sense of superiority.
Today, Chen Hao's excellent performance has greatly stimulated the two. Although Director Guan Hu didn't say a word, anyone can see what's going on in his heart?
No matter how big the actor is, in the eyes of the director, some special moments have to give way for the smooth filming of the work. Now Chen Hao is in such a good state, it is the perfect time to perform this explosive scene in one go, a scene that can become the highlight of the whole play, Guan Hu doesn't care about whether it is a young and handsome actor or not.
Everyone was in place, Wu Yifan was going to act for this scene. It should have been his role as the protagonist reciting a few lines to express his position, and it should have been the role of the little steel cannon responding to the other party's challenge with his eyes. Now, all of them were shrouded by the halo of a supporting role. Chen Hao stood there, showing a very strong aura. At least in the hearts of many actors at the scene, at that moment, they really felt that he was the soldier who would stab people with a bayonet.
"What do you mean? With your few pieces of material, you still want to fight."
"When the time comes, I won't go! I won't go!"
In the middle of this scene, there are connecting scenes, Xiaofei and Liuge's dialogue, Dengzhao'er's interruption, and a group of young people around him laughing at Dengzhao'er, thinking that this old man is too interesting. What era is it, and he still plays the game of arguing for a fight. To use Xiaofei's words before, old man, are you hired by the monkey to tease B?
In this scene, the actors all had a kind of emotion, and Guan Hu also felt it, and specifically checked with the actors, saying that you were indeed frightened by the toughness of the character Men San'er just now, and now you are facing a weakling who has no fighting power at first glance, so of course you have to turn the previous fear into arrogance and laugh at him.
Men San'er spoke again, just to pick up this thread, and it also responded to the previous situation, why Men San'er, who followed Liu Ye in the past, can now easily call a group of little brothers, but Liu Ye, the big brother in the past, is mixed in the market, and no one is afraid of him anymore.
There is no doubt that Men San'er is fierce. Even at this age, he is still fierce enough to intimidate all around. He inherited the loyalty of the Jianghu in the past. In this era of paper-drunkenness-gold-obsessed, this loyalty can win the hearts of a small number of people. This is why he dared to say to Liu Ye several times even though he was poor and destitute, "I will find a group of young people to set up this matter for you, so that you can exercise your hands and feet, and I will stay in for a while, and stay away from this world that is becoming more and more incomprehensible and unaccustomed to life. For people like Men San'er, perhaps the world in the "Haoer" is more accustomed and familiar to him.
Three old men.
This is what Wu Yifan said, and it is also arranged in the script. However, through Chen Hao's interpretation just now, Guan Hu temporarily adjusted the lines and no longer said three old men, but we will beat you three together.
Everyone present understood the meaning of this line change and recognized it. Indeed, as a performance just now, even though we knew it was fake, it still gave us the flash of the thought that he would stab people at any time, which was enough to prove that the actor really performed the aura of this role.
When Chen Hao spoke these two lines, his aura continued. He slightly opened his hands, holding two spears on the left and right. His body, arms, and weapons were in a straight line. He could attack at the first time no matter what the situation was. And it was the kind of angle that could knock someone down with one strike. With the state of him holding the spear at the moment, several people could tell that he was either trying to scare people or to pierce a hole in your body to bleed.
As the play went on, the plot was still the same. Later, it became Men Saner who supported the scene, making this duel look more like that, instead of the script where Xiao Fei simply thought that Liu Ye was a rule-abiding person. He had always been unruly, and suddenly such a person appeared in front of him, and he was very excited.
The original script seems a bit absurd, but it is seamless without any mistakes. Xiao Fei has a reason for doing so. From his boredom to racing and boredom to reading martial arts novels, it proves that he has his own set of standards for measuring truth, goodness, beauty and justice in his heart. The chivalrous feeling shown by Liu Ye, which is not seen in this era, is what Xiao Fei admires in his heart. He does not want to look at the problem according to his previously established values. He subconsciously wants to deal with the problem according to Liu Ye's values, so there will be a fight in a week.
The plot remains unchanged, but Men Saner plays a deterrent role in it, making this seemingly absurd scene more reasonable. Even the audience who only watches popcorn movies will not feel that there is anything wrong.
Men Saner came prepared today. These little guys are still in the stage of fighting. Facing Men Saner's desperate state, they suddenly changed their rhythm, from fighting to fighting on the spot, and they can accept it in their hearts, and they will not lose face. After all, whoever you ask to rush to Men Saner first, to be honest, has psychological pressure.
Chen Hao's performance was perfect, even in the scenes where he was in the background, his performance was still eye-catching. After finishing his scene, he filmed the scene where Li Yifeng's expression changed while sitting in the car. The stimulated young actor also showed strong fighting power and kept looking for the state. When the filming started, the obvious emotional changes were very good. Guan Hu praised it again and again. He didn't expect the chemistry to be reflected here.
Then when reshooting Xiao Fei's scenes, Wu Yifan's performance was also improved to a higher level. Everyone saw this. Xiao Gangpao was willing to give a thumbs up to the three people. Seeing Chen Hao's good performance, if he performed very manically, he would only let himself look down on him. He was able to adjust himself in a very short time and bravely chase forward. Such a young man with aspirations, even if he is now criticized for being a young idol with no acting skills, will sooner or later get rid of this title with progress. This is the confidence of seeing people, and Director Feng still has it.
In this rivalry scene, Director Feng found the feeling of enjoyment for the first time, although he was also very clear that he was acting in his true colors, otherwise his acting skills would be just ordinary. Even so, the previous rivalry scenes with Wu Yifan were always out of place, and it was difficult to have a strong feeling of rivalry.
Today was enjoyable, it was considered a match, it was considered a feeling, and the eye contact between each other increased, which added color to the characters invisibly. But in this scene, Wu Yifan walked past Men Saner, and the two of them were in a side-face scene, which actually only lasted five or six seconds. In the later editing, even so much could not be retained. In such a scene, Chen Hao did not slack off at all, and used body language to give Guan Hu a huge surprise.
When Xiaofei walked to the front of Men Saner and then walked straight, passing behind him to the front of Liu Ye, this process was just a few steps away. Men Saner's expression did not change, and the direction of his gaze did not change. He was always facing the young people with steel pipes and sticks in front of him. He knew that he could not be intimidated, and it was very likely that the three of them would be beaten up, so even if Xiaofei passed by him, he maintained his previous state. When Xiaofei's figure disappeared in front of him and the sound began to come from the side and back, Guan Hu saw the changes in the muscles of Chen Hao's neck, shoulders and upper arms in the camera. It was an instinctive defensive change, not a large-scale body movement.
After Guan Hu saw it, the first thought that flashed through his mind was the instinct of animals. Those carnivores or animals at the hunted level of the food chain, when they encounter danger or defend against danger, their bodies will be tense for a moment. Although they are still standing there, you can clearly feel that he was tense at that moment, and the slightest movement can make his body in a state of launching the most ferocious attack at any time.
The whole scene was shot, and everyone was done.
After work, Guan Hu specifically found Director Feng, and the two of them reviewed today's scenes together. Director Xiao Gangpao gave the highest evaluation of this scene. He said frankly: "This scene alone is enough to get Chen Hao a nomination for Best Supporting Actor."
After resting for an afternoon, Chen Hao started to reshoot some scenes at night. The whole process went smoothly. Guan Hu felt that he, as a director, had no role to play all of a sudden. He was just responsible for shouting "start" and "cut". You need others to reshoot things, you just need to mention it, you don't need to explain it in detail, the other party will immediately understand it. When it comes to shooting, you will find that you don't need to do anything more, just accept the best performance of others, he will present you with more than you expected.
…………………………
That night, after finishing the shooting of all the scenes of "Old Cannon", Guan Hu invited Xiao Gangpao and Chen Hao to respond. The three age groups got together and had another drink. There was not much intersection in their lives. The hottest topic they could talk about was performance, acting, and things in this circle.
Regarding directing "Charlotte's Troubles", Chen Hao also took this opportunity to learn from the two directors. In terms of acting, he has the best "Oscar winner" ability. In terms of directing, the ability of a mid-level director is really not enough in front of these two. The two people's casual and heartfelt guidance is enough for Chen Hao to explore in this industry for several years to gain the corresponding experience.
In the end, Xiao Gangpao ended this private drinking party. He had to go home to sleep. He didn't want to appear at the College Student Film Festival tomorrow. He was very depressed. Although he was unique in many aspects, like many directors with personality, he gave the highest courtesy and respect to the College Student Film Festival. If you can't win enough status in the hearts of these people, then the achievements you can achieve in this circle in the future will inevitably be limited.
