Chapter 61: Chen Nuo's Literary Drama

Before this, not only the camera position, but Yu Min and Zhang Jizhong both felt that Chen Nuo didn't seem to be in a state.

Of course, for them, this was actually very normal.

Actors filming, the vast majority need to go through a process of running-in with the role. Therefore, most TV series don't film the opening scene when they first start, but choose the middle scenes to film, just to use the best state to film the most important opening shots after running-in, so as to attract the audience to watch. It's the same principle as the opening three chapters of a web novel.

Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min are both veteran directors, and they can see very clearly in the monitor whether an actor's state is there or not.

Zhang Jizhong nodded, but didn't echo Yu Min's words, "Just hope his back is okay. Anyway, filming here for over a month, 100-plus scenes. The state will be found sooner or later, and the body is the most important."

Liu Yifei and Chen Nuo's first scene was the day after Chen Nuo fell off the horse.

It wasn't a heavy scene either. It was after Li Xiaolong Maiden and Yang Guo escaped from the Ancient Tomb due to Li Mochou's pursuit, they built a small wooden house on a meadow outside the Ancient Tomb, living and practicing martial arts here.

Liu Yifei sat on a swing built on the spot. In the distance were snow-capped mountains, nearby were green meadows, winding blue water flowed not far away, green pines shaded the head, and flowers bloomed under the feet.

It's just that they were all plastic fake flowers.

Chen Nuo sat on the steps outside the wooden house and said happily: "Auntie, the wooden house has been built. After ten days and a half month, when your injury is better, we can go down the mountain."

Liu Yifei's expression was flat: "But our Jade Maiden Heart Sutra hasn't been practiced yet."

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, showing a thoughtful look, and then a complex emotion emerged in his eyes, whispering: "Then... let's practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra before going down the mountain."

Liu Yifei still said with a flat expression: "Since we have the Nine Yin Manual that surpasses the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra in our Ancient Tomb, if we don't practice it well, what should we do if we meet a master when we go down the mountain?"

Chen Nuo said: "Then let's practice the Nine Yin Manual before going down the mountain."

Then he looked up, and the expression in his eyes was already clear: "Auntie, don't you want to go down the mountain again?"

Liu Yifei still said with a flat expression: "I have never been down the mountain. I am a little afraid, I don't want to see outsiders."

Beside the monitor, Yu Min said to the intercom: "Good, cut. Rest for a while." Then asked Zhang Jizhong: "It's not working, right?"

Zhang Jizhong said thoughtfully: "……It's not very good."

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Jizhong didn't know what to do either.

Because the acting was suppressed, and it wasn't ordinary suppression, it was the suppression of Chen Nuo like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, pressing the 18-year-old Liu Fairy into pieces.

Zhang Jizhong now really hopes to return to before Chen Nuo fell off the horse, not only for Chen Nuo, but also for Liu Yifei. At that time, Chen Nuo didn't seem to have found the state. Using him at that time to play with Liu Yifei should look better than it does now. The picture in the monitor now looks really too ugly.

"Did you ask Chen Nuo to act like this?" Zhang Jizhong thought for a while and asked.

Yu Min said with a wry smile: "Yes. In the script, it was Yang Guo bare-chested building a house, talking to Li Xiaolong Maiden while walking, but Chen Nuo fell yesterday, and I can't ask him to carry wood today. If I use some foam props, it's too fake. So I changed this scene into a pure literary drama. Who knows! It turns out that this kid's strongest point is literary drama." The so-called literary drama is a scene that does not contain large movements or fighting, focusing on dialogue and emotional communication between characters. Because literary drama has no action, it can only convey the character's personality, relationship, and story development to the audience through the actor's language and facial expressions, so the camera position of filming literary drama is generally very close to the actor to capture the subtle changes on the actor's face.

In Yu Min's view, Chen Nuo in this kind of lens is really terrifyingly strong. Worthy of being from a movie background.

In his view, among the actors filming TV series, except for those few old drama bones, he hasn't seen anyone else who can perform three or four emotional changes in one sentence.

When Liu Yifei said: "……what should we do if we meet a master when we go down the mountain?"

In his answer, when saying "that...", his expression was stunned for a moment, then his eyeballs turned, obviously thinking about something. Then, thinking of some things, he showed a trace of pity, perhaps a little relief, before saying the next line: "Then let's practice the Nine Yin Manual before going down the mountain."

This is very Yang Guo.

A person who has been cold-shouldered since childhood in the book, grew up in bullying and exclusion, he should have been very sensitive to other people's emotions, very careful and concerned about every word, especially to the woman he loves most.

When Li Xiaolong Maiden said evasive words, he should be able to feel certain emotions.

Yu Min felt that this version of Yang Guo was indeed more correct than the bare-chested Yang Guo in the original script. Yang Guo shouldn't be bare-chested showing off his muscles, smiling foolishly and asking Li Xiaolong Maiden, Auntie, don't you want to go down the mountain. That's called a fool.

Yu Min could only sympathize with Liu Yifei.

Letting a female lead who only has one expression from beginning to end play against this kind of person? He didn't know what to do, so he could only continue to ask the general producer Zhang Jizhong for advice, "Then... or should we continue to let Chen Nuo carry wood and film more medium-shot lenses?"

Zhang Jizhong stroked his beard and said irritably: "And then let Chen Nuo lie in the hospital, and we all go home?"

"Then what do you say, President Zhang?"

Zhang Jizhong said: "You go and give Liu Yifei some acting advice."

"Ah?"

Although he was a bit unhappy with the male lead, Liu Yifei felt that she acted quite well.

The first scene today had this state, and she was very satisfied with herself. Pre-familiarized with the script, so the lines were very fluent, the places that should be paused were paused, the feelings that should be had were had, and most importantly, the smile at the end, she felt it must look very beautiful in the lens.

So, when Yu Min walked over and said he wanted to give her some acting advice, Xixi was a bit confused.

"Your acting, the emotional rhythm must follow the opponent, don't always immerse yourself in your own world." Yu Min stood beside Liu Yifei, showing great patience, and his tone was very gentle, "Li Xiaolong Maiden has a process of emotional progression at this time, from the initial unwillingness to go down the mountain to her acceptance of going down the mountain in the end. This change is because of Yang Guo. So your attention must always be on Chen Nuo, you must truly listen and truly look."

Yu Min gave Liu Yifei acting advice there for five minutes. In the end, Liu Yifei remembered one sentence: her attention must be on Chen Nuo.

Well, as a junior at the Beijing Film Academy, the heroine of several plays, she is not ignorant of the truth of truly listening, truly looking, and truly feeling... but she is unhappy with Chen Nuo, and she really didn't look at him much just now.

According to the past, these are all small things!

Really annoying, why is it only the first scene, and the director requires it so strictly?
