Chapter 250: Acting skills that please the audience, the performance in the audience's imagination (5K)

~17 min read 3,301 words

Except for Gu Cheng, everyone else in the crew was watching Jin Li act on the spot for the first time, and it was also the first time they felt Jin Li's acting skills directly.

Some people couldn't help but take a light breath and whispered: "It's too amazing!"

Her acting skills were not as raw as Li Xiue's, just relying on a suitable face, nor as skilled as Jian Liting's, relying on a textbook-like performance that had been tempered.

Jin Li's acting skills were lively and natural, which was a way of expression different from actors who came from professional classes.

Like a wild grass growing in the wild, although raw, it was full of vitality, struggling upwards, and there was a stubbornness in her eyes that could not be worn away no matter how much it was worn.

And this strand of stubbornness was converted into the lens, which was lively beauty. Her eyes had aura, and her performance was very special.

But everyone could feel that Jin Li was not playing herself. She had traces of performance, but it was so real, as if a victim was really crying and howling in front of them, begging everyone to let him go.

In the silence, Yan Jianqiao took a megaphone and shouted loudly: "Cut!"

He didn't say whether to re-shoot or pass, but repeatedly looked at the picture in the lens, trying to understand Jin Li's interpretation.

The filming of a drama, although under the control of the director, also depends on the performance of the actors.

Just say the same performance scene, the actor is also performing crying, performing angry crying, but everyone's expression form of anger is different.

It is precisely because of the different lens processing of each actor that the film will be colorful.

Not only was he watching, Gu Cheng and Jin Li also gathered over, looking at the performance in the lens.

The two celebrities hadn't seen anything yet, Yan Jianqiao suddenly let out a long breath, his brows stretched, as if he had realized it, and said: "I understand."

Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "What do you understand?"

Jin Li also looked over, wanting to know Yan Jianqiao's evaluation of herself.

Yan Jianqiao looked at Jin Li a few times, as if observing and measuring, pondering how to speak.

Jin Li immediately said: "Director Yan, don't worry, if there are any problems, just say it, I will try my best to change it."

Yan Jianqiao pondered for a while and said: "You are not from a professional class, so your performance method is not so routine, and there will often be moves that make people's eyes shine and flash with inspiration. This kind of performance will make the audience feel very fresh."

"Now many film plots are routinized, and even the actors' performances are as if they were carved out of the same mold, all the same."

Speaking of this, Jin Li and Gu Cheng couldn't help but nod.

"Homogenization" is a word that netizens have said until they are tired of it.

Novel homogenization, film and television plot homogenization, clothes and bags homogenization... even entertainment consumption activities cannot avoid homogenization.

Yan Jianqiao continued: "But your acting skills can make the audience quickly distinguish you from those mediocre actors, and you are photogenic."

Jin Li scanned the surroundings, thinking that Yan Jianqiao is really not an ordinary person, not worried about disaster coming from his mouth.

She had been in contact with three directors, and each director had a bit of "unique".

Unique can be seen as the director's hobby, or the director's way of relieving stress, or a unique filming method, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.

Yan Jianqiao looked quite unrestrained.

Yan Jianqiao: "So your acting skills have a characteristic, that is, very dreamy, not realistic."

"But you will make some grounded treatments, making the dreaminess carry a sense of reality, not completely floating, so you will make the audience understand and love it."

After finishing, Yan Jianqiao also felt that what he said was a bunch of nonsense, so he changed to another way of saying it.

"That is, your performance is not necessarily real, but it is very consistent with the reality in the audience's imagination, and it is also suitable for the aesthetics under the lens."

"So people accept your performance and think you act very well, because you acted out the imagination in their hearts."

Jin Li probably understood, but everyone else in the crew was still confused.

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "Director, have you learned to draw? Not landscape painting, realistic painting, but comics, animation."

Yan Jianqiao nodded: "Learned a little, but not professional."

Jin Li: "I think your idea is similar to drawing comics."

"In comics, painters will draw characters more heroic and handsome, or beautiful and eye-catching, so that readers have a sense of substitution."

"But in fact, the human body of that character has been beautified, correcting some shortcomings of the real human body, making its expression on paper more in line with people's imagination of comic characters."

"It cannot be said that the human body of comic characters is fake. It looks too unrealistic, but on the premise of keeping the big frame unchanged, some parts are beautified."

"Including some movements made by characters, compared with the muscles of real people, it will be more beautified, so it looks more handsome."

In reality, the posture of handsome men and beautiful women bowing their heads to eat is actually not good-looking, but comics can draw it very well.

Not everyone can take a deep breath to make their small belly flat, but characters in comics can do it.

People with long legs actually don't cross their legs much, because they can always reach the ground, but comics will specifically draw it, and draw it handsome and aggressive.

But in fact, in real life, what can reflect a person's superior body shape is always standing posture, not sitting posture.

But comics can't draw the whole person, because the screen is too small, so they need to rely on sitting posture to set off the character's handsomeness.

But the comic artist's treatment of characters is consistent with people's imagination of beauty.

Eyes are very good at capturing beauty, and can automatically ignore some shortcomings for the sake of beauty.

Jin Li's performance in Yan Jianqiao's eyes is real and dreamy, consistent with people's imaginative expression of this scene, so it can ignore the shortcoming of "not grounded".

Gu Cheng had already understood and took the initiative to ask: "Director Yan, do you need Jin Li to change this performance method and change it to a more grounded and real one?"

Yan Jianqiao sighed lightly, "No need."

"Her acting skills are a hard injury. Even if she is pulled up to help the seedlings grow, it is impossible for her to reach Jian Liting's level immediately."

"If it is just changed to a grounded real performance in certain occasions, it is inconsistent with the filming style of other fragments, so just film it according to the way she understands."

After finishing, Yan Jianqiao reacted afterwards, did he offend someone just now?

Comparing Jin Li with another celebrity to her face, and still not as good.

Yan Jianqiao was shocked in his heart, and the cold sweat on his forehead brushed out, and he hurriedly made up for it:

"Jin Li, don't take it to heart, everyone's performance method is different, I don't want you to be the same as Jian Liting's expression."

"Your ideas are different, and the effects performed will naturally be different. Your performance method is also very good, can please the audience, more pleasing than Jian Liting..."

Speaking in a hurry, he felt that what he said was wrong again, and stammered: "Of course, Jian Liting is also very bad, you are also very good, what I want to express is this meaning, don't misunderstand."

Gu Cheng interrupted at the right time: "Director Yan, are you going to prepare for the next scene?"

Yan Jianqiao nodded as if he had realized it, "Yes, yes!"

He hurriedly turned his head and shouted with a megaphone: "Prop group, lighting group, get in place quickly, this scene is passed, let's proceed to the next scene."

Jin Li and Gu Cheng took the opportunity to go to the other side to rest.

Gu Cheng took the initiative to say: "Don't take Director Yan's words to heart, he didn't say you filmed badly, just that it didn't meet his imagination of the picture, and he also affirmed that this treatment method of yours is liked by the audience, and didn't ask for a re-shoot."

Jin Li originally wanted to tighten her expression to look serious, to tease Gu Cheng.

But seeing him more nervous than herself, she opened her mouth and said: "Don't worry, I didn't take his words to heart, but his description of my acting skills made me suddenly enlightened."

"Actually, after filming "And Then There Were None", I felt that my acting skills had reached a bottleneck, and I need to cross over to rise to a new stage."

"And Yan Jianqiao's evaluation of my acting skills made me find where the flaws are, and I can train in this direction."

Gu Cheng frowned: "He said your acting skills are not grounded enough, do you want to make your performance more grounded?"

Gu Cheng wanted to persuade her not to change the filming style easily, otherwise the difference in expression methods would be too large, which would cause fragmentation to the overall picture sense of a drama.

Jin Li shook her head, "No, I want to be even less grounded. In other words, I want to express it more in line with people's imagination of the character."

Gu Cheng was stunned, "I thought you would want to break through yourself."

Jin Li smiled: "Gu Cheng, I am not an all-around actor, I can only highlight and enlarge according to my characteristics."

"I don't think Yan Jianqiao is looking for trouble with me, I think he is praising me."

Gu Cheng's eyes were a little confused.

Jin Li explained: "An actor basically only has two results, one is to be liked by professionals, and the other is to be liked by the audience."

"Good reputation but not good box office, good box office but not good reputation, this is a common thing in the film and television industry. I don't have the ability to break the limits of both now, so it's better to go to extremes."

"Only by fighting for one side can my film and television career go further."

She never felt that her ability was excellent. She knew clearly that she was not a born actor, and even less a drama fanatic, willing to dedicate everything for acting.

Some actors, in order to shape a certain character, can ignore their bodies and eat and drink, gain 30 pounds in a month, or lose 30 pounds in a month.

Or in order to make their performance look more like a cancer patient, specifically diet, make themselves sick, just to look real enough.

Her physical condition is there.

Before she could toss enough, she might hang up first.

So she is not as dedicated as everyone imagined, and there is a scale in her heart. What roles can be tried to challenge and break through, and what roles you know are excellent but absolutely cannot touch.

She is just such a vulgar person.

Besides, if an actor really does this all-around, then what is the use of other actors?

Tall, short, fat, thin, old, young, etc., if an actor can cover everything, other special actors don't need to eat, waiting to change careers.

Jin Li said softly: "Gu Cheng, you too, think about how to hit your distinct characteristics in this drama and leave a memory point for the audience."

Gu Cheng's eyes flashed, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, those dark eyes looked at Jin Li intently, and surprise and appreciation surged in his eyes, as well as many feelings that Jin Li could not see through.

Gu Cheng said: "I originally wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect to be comforted by you."

Not knowing what he thought of, he said seriously: "In the previous filming, I didn't express my thoughts on this character, because I was afraid of dragging down the progress of the crew."

"I am a newcomer after all, and I am also limited to the identity of a newcomer. I don't know if my expression is correct. But after listening to your words, I feel that my shaping of the character can be bolder. Jin Li."

His voice suddenly became very light: "It is you who gave me the courage to be presumptuous."

For the staff of the "Assassination" crew, the next month was very magical.

On the first day of filming, rumors spread in the crew that Director Yan did not like Jin Li's acting skills.

Somehow it reached Yan Jianqiao's ears, forcing him to urgently hold a crew meeting and emphasize in public that he had no opinion on Jin Li's acting skills.

"In order to film this drama, I sacrificed a lot. The crew is like raising a child to me. If Jin Li films badly, I will not lower the standard and tolerate her passing."

Yan Jianqiao was afraid that this drama would have any more moths, leading to Jin Li quitting, and was so angry that he cursed:

"Those who spread various rumors and disrupt the order of the crew, what kind of heart do you have? Is it that "Assassination" can't be filmed and is completely finished, so it is your intention?"

"If this drama cannot be filmed, your wages may not be settled, be careful!"

"Besides, obviously I scold Gu Cheng more in the crew, why don't you spread that I hate Gu Cheng?!"

Speaking of this, Yan Jianqiao couldn't help but scold Gu Cheng again: "He was filming well before, this time he played with Jin Li, and suddenly wanted to change the filming style."

"Causing the previously filmed films to be completely overturned, increasing the workload of other crew members, and I didn't even go to find his trouble!"

"And this style is not something that can be changed as soon as it is said. I look awkward everywhere, it's better to go back to the honest, background board white moonlight Gu Xiude filmed before."

After Yan Jianqiao finished the meeting, he immediately invested in filming.

It's strange to say, he cursed Gu Cheng in the crew, but everyone felt that scolding is love.

And he didn't comment on Jin Li's acting skills, but everyone felt that he didn't like it.

Yan Jianqiao has bitterness that he can't tell!

Jin Li's acting skills have personal style characteristics, he is not easy to propose modifications at will, for fear of losing that flavor if changed.

But Gu Cheng is different, that is a raw hand, there is a bright spot in cooking, but most of them are disasters, and must be severely trained.

Everyone originally thought that Gu Cheng would be scolded by the director all the time, but didn't expect that after only half a month of scolding, the director didn't scold him, but praised him from time to time.

In order not to be partial, he praised both actors.

Not only praised, Director Yan also often gives one-time pass!

The filming progress delayed by Gu Cheng's change of style before was quickly pulled up with Director Yan's one-time pass.

So just after a month, the crew staff suddenly found that they had unknowingly reached the scenes Jian Liting had filmed before.

"Will it pass too easily?"

"Gu Cheng was often scolded before and was always stuck. I thought it would take a long time to finish filming!"

"The progress in the second half of the month is too fast, very smooth."

Zhang Guang had some announcements to talk to Gu Cheng alone, and by the way, understand the progress in the crew and whether Jin Li is adapting.

Tianding Entertainment is now watching "Assassination" very closely and does not allow any accidents in this drama again.

He mixed in the crew crowd, listening to the staff's discussion, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, showing a relieved smile.

The progress is fast, it's smooth!

Jin Li is here, and the crew has become powerful!

He found Gu Cheng in a flower bed. Jin Li was also there. The two were discussing the script, discussing the content with their heads down, looking both normal and intimate.

Zhang Guang couldn't help but cough heavily a few times.

Gu Cheng looked over and said: "Brother Guang, you are here."

Zhang Guang squeezed between the two, "I came to see you specifically today when I was free, and by the way, see how the crew progress is, and tell you a big thing."

"By the way, you clear your schedule tomorrow, you need to participate in the press conference held by Yu Lin Ling."

Gu Cheng's expression moved, wanting to say something, Jin Li spoke first: "Did March Sky finally tear down Yu Lin Ling's endorsement? What kind of spokesperson is it?"

Zhang Guang said proudly and proudly: "Global spokesperson!"

"Wow!" Jin Li gave face and made a shocked sound, clapped and said: "Amazing, too amazing!"

Zhang Guang hmm-ed, held his head high and said: "Average, average, this weight was predicted by the company before, and now it is announced, it is not strange."

Jin Li said: "When will the announcement be issued, I will help you promote and forward it then."

Zhang Guang's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said: "It will be synchronized and officially announced tomorrow. I will send you the link on WeChat then."

Jin Li made an "OK", "Okay, I'll go to the other side, you guys talk first."

Zhang Guang watched Jin Li leave with a very kind smile.

A light sentence came from Gu Cheng's ear: "Look at your promise."

Zhang Guang said without changing his face: "If you think there is no promise, then don't always stick to Jin Li. Every time I come to the crew, you two stick together, and don't pay attention to the influence."

Gu Cheng answered righteously: "We are discussing the script, a pure friendship relationship."

Zhang Guang sneered, "You are just a passerby A male lead, do you really think I don't know!"

He changed the topic, "You have to leave the crew tonight, take time to rest while you still have time, and you will be busy at six o'clock in the morning."

"Participate in Yu Lin Ling's global spokesperson press conference in the morning, participate in activities held by Yu Lin Ling in the afternoon, and participate in Yu Lin Ling's fan appreciation meeting in the evening. I have arranged your schedule full. This time don't think about stealing leisure and returning to the crew to film."

Not knowing what he thought of, Zhang Guang said: "Also, the independent plans for the four of you have been made by the company. When will the announcement be issued?"

Gu Cheng was silent for a while, "Wait a minute, Yu Lin Ling's endorsement has just been torn down, no need to be so anxious."

Zhang Guang sighed silently: "Yan Xingdong and the others have the same idea as you, but you should accept reality sooner or later. Long pain is better than short pain, this is my experience as a person who has come over."

Gu Cheng glanced at him, "We are different."

"What's different?"

Gu Cheng: "At least my first love won't break up with me." ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
