China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 569 Emperor Gong’s Guidance

Liu Yifei originally planned to take a day off today to visit the set and then leave in the evening to rush to the next event city.

Originally, her schedule after the New Year only had less than two days left for her, but after seeing Teacher Gong Li's acting skills on the set, she suddenly felt a little shaken and her heart became alive.

What would it be like if I could have Teacher Gong Li's eight levels of skills, no, six levels would be enough.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but think about it on the set.

She is still very ambitious about her acting skills.

When she first entered the acting industry, her idol was Audrey Hepburn. At first, this was just a beautiful wish, or a goal to inspire her growth.

And now with Sun Yi's help, she is growing up bit by bit through one role after another.

But Liu Yifei is a little dissatisfied. She feels that her growth has not kept up with Sun Yi's pace. Putting aside business and money-making ability, she feels that she is not worthy of the great director in her family.

Xiao Nizi's competitive spirit is still very strong.

So far, Sun Yi has won two domestic directing awards, one at the University Student Film Festival and one at the Golden Rooster. Internationally, he also won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

And she herself has just won the first Best Actress in her life, and it was in a TV series.

Although many people say that movies and TV series are both high and low, they are both forms of art. However, the general public opinion is that the acting skills of movie actors are better than those of TV series, and she is not immune to this.

Liu Yifei felt that her acting skills had reached a bottleneck. Before, she was lacking a lot in the basics of acting skills. She had no choice but to fall behind during school.

It was director Sun Yi who trained her in every possible way and constantly fed her roles, which enabled her to flexibly use various acting skills and master them.

If we divide it according to the popular sense of hierarchy.

Liu Yifei's current acting skills have been through the initial glimpses such as "The Golden Family", the small gains such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the full-scale acting such as "Those Years", until she barely reached proficiency through "Shelter" and "Wings in the Sky" .

Even higher up there are the pinnacles and the great masters.

In fact, if we divide them according to this, Sun Yi's current level is very different from Liu Yifei's, they are even more proficient, but he is different. He is a director, not a professional actor.

Liu Yifei has certain requirements for herself. She also wants to stand on the top and see the scenery at the top of the mountain. It is best to have Sun Yi by her side, but now she realizes that her acting skills seem to have reached a bottleneck.

After playing Yang Wanyu, she vaguely felt that she couldn't improve, like there was a shackle that she couldn't break away from.

She also mentioned this feeling to Sun Yi, but Sun Yi didn't have a good way, and he didn't have experience.

His acting skills only come from his extra ten years of experience, two years of serious study at Beijing Film Academy, plus a slightly higher talent than Xiao Nizi.

However, Sun Yi believes that acting skills will always improve as long as you rely on one movie to improve them. Isn’t that how most of the best actors and actresses in Hong Kong came to be?

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

At the same time, he also suggested that Liu Yifei should have more contact with some veteran actors and learn from them.

But there is also a problem.

Liu Yifei has been in the industry for so many years, and she has not come into contact with so-called veteran actors with superb acting skills. They each have their own experience and strengths. However, there are actually not many actors who are in the same age as her, and most of whom are leading heroines.

During the filming, the person she came into contact with the most was Zhou Xun, who was also in Starry Sky. She admitted from the bottom of her heart that Sister Xun's acting skills were very strong, but it did not inspire her very much.

She also told Sister Xun about this issue, and Zhou Xun didn't hide any secrets and shared his understanding with her.

But Zhou Xun's acting skills are more of a unique personal touch, very "spirited". No matter what type of role is placed in her, she can make the character come alive. In a movie, no matter how many roles you have, you will know it. Pay attention to her.

This is something that comes from herself and can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Like talent, it is difficult for others to learn it.

After so many movies, Liu Yifei also realized that her talent is actually only average. The roles she plays are basically in the comfort zone. Unless the role is particularly suitable, one plus one is greater than two. .

Of course, I agreed in my heart. I still looked arrogant in front of Sun Yi and never admitted it.

But seeing teacher Gong Li's live performance today, Liu Yifei was shocked.

As a qualified actress, Teacher Gong Li's movies are a required course. She has watched almost all of them, and she has always felt that they are not good. She just feels that the acting is good, but she can't say exactly how good they are.

At the moment when she was watching the scene, she had some realization.

Atmosphere is the atmosphere of the entire film.

Teacher Gong Li used her performance to make the atmosphere of the movie very reasonable. From the moment she appeared, Liu Yifei couldn't find a single flaw in her mind. She naturally felt that this scene should be like this.

No technique is visible, and everything is natural.

Liu Yifei suddenly decided not to leave.

"Teacher Gong Li, eat some fruit, I just washed it."

After the scene was over, Gong Li returned to her seat to rest, and Liu Yifei came over enthusiastically holding a box of washed fruits.

Celebrities, especially singers, will not eat things that are not prepared by their assistants. Actors are still a little worse in this regard, but many people also have this taboo.

Liu Yifei didn't know whether it was accidental or intentional, but she took a piece of strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth.

Gong Li smiled and took a piece without saying anything.

"It's very sweet."

"Yes, I chose them all on purpose."

Liu Yifei looked very happy. She found that Teacher Gong Li's temperament had changed again off the court. Although her body and face were still dressed in the same make-up she had during the filming, she felt that she was not aged at all and was very amiable.

This ability to instantly jump into a scene also surprised her.

"By the way, Teacher Gong Li, why did you accept this play?" Liu Yifei swallowed the pulp in her mouth and asked tentatively.

Gong Li looked at Xiao Nizi and narrowed her eyes with a smile. Liu Yifei now felt to her like a little beast that had just completed its first independent hunting and wanted to sum up its experience with the seniors. She probably guessed it from the moment she opened her mouth and called Teacher Gong Li back.

However, she did think that the little girl was nice, and she also had the reputation of Sun Yi, an excellent director, so she was happy to give her some advice.

"I choose the script very idealistically. First of all, as an actor, I enjoy the process of filming, as if I am experiencing another kind of life. If the role is not good, then it means that this life is very dull. For me, It’s not interesting. I like constant challenges, so I think there’s no need to waste this time.”

"The script written by Director Xiao Sun is very good. Although the character Guiying is tragic, it has a story, so I like it very much."

Liu Yifei nodded as if she understood, and then said angrily: "I have read the script before. The role of Guiying is indeed as you said. It will be very brilliant if you play it well. It's a pity that I can't play it. It's not good in all aspects." Suitable."

"Why?" Gong Li asked with a smile.

"for"

Liu Yifei stared, speechless for a moment.

I'm not suitable for the role. At my age, and with my appearance, I can't play the role of Guiying.

This was what she was thinking in her heart, but these words meant to elevate her appearance, and she couldn't say it out loud.

Of course Gong Li could think of this reason, and she did not embarrass Liu Yifei and continued:
"As an actor, there is no role that he is not suitable for. Just like a cross-dressing performance in school, you think you are suitable to play a man, but as an actor, you have to try. If you don't try, how can you know the final result? , have the courage to break your own shackles and put aside those bottles and jars. "

Gong Li said with a smile, and finally added another sentence as if to verify her statement.

"When I played Qiu Ju, I was only 26 years old, not much older than you."

Liu Yifei was shocked.

She had seen "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", a fierce rural woman. Looking at it now, it is indeed nothing, but if you think about it when Teacher Gong Li was 26 years old, who would have thought that she could play such a role? Incisively and vividly.

"The appearance of an actor is not the most important thing. It is true that appearance will give us a lot of conveniences, but the most important thing about a role is her spiritual connotation. For example, the current Cao Guiying, at my current age, looks the same as your current age. , the performance is completely different.”

"Whether you are suitable or not is how others evaluate you. You should choose yourself."

Liu Yifei seems to understand a little bit. Teacher Gong Li's words tell her that no matter what role she is, she should not judge whether she is suitable or not, but should try it first, perform her own things, and get improved. Whether she is suitable or not is for others to decide. In comparison, you can't be mentally exhausted first.

Gong Li could see Liu Yifei's shock, and felt that the little girl's understanding was pretty good, so she continued:

"I have watched your "Wings in the Sky" and your performance was very good and fit the role very well. Considering your age, you are already very good. But I think you still have some breakthrough things that you haven't expressed yet."

"Teacher Gong Li, how can I break through this? When I was acting, I felt as if I had reached my own bottleneck. I couldn't explain that feeling, just, just."

Liu Yifei was a little anxious, thinking about how to fully express that feeling.

Gong Li smiled and nodded, and said: "I understand, every actor will go through this process. My advice to you is to get out of your comfort zone and fully experience various types of roles. From the perspective of the role, If you interpret it from different angles such as your heart and characteristics, I believe your progress will be very rapid.”

"After all, there is a great director behind you."

Speaking of which, when Gong Li sees Liu Yifei now, it feels like she sees herself back then.

At that time, she also followed Lao Mouzi, a director and an actor, working hard and making progress together. The final outcome of the two of them was not good, but she hoped that Liu Yifei could go further here.

As expected, Liu Yifei did not leave that day. She postponed her commercial activities and stayed to film with the crew. Whenever Gong Li had a role, she would follow her to observe and learn. When the crew took a break, she would run over to ask questions and put forward some of her own ideas. Question, please ask Gong Li.

Sun Yi was very happy to see this situation. Teacher Gong Li's acting skills can be said to be the ceiling of domestic actresses.

When she plays an oppressed woman under feudal dogma, she is stubborn and tolerant; when she plays an ordinary woman, she has the meekness, beauty, and resilience of Chinese women; when she plays a prostitute, she has charming charm and a hint of depravity; when she plays a country woman, she also Full of wildness.

She was the only one in "Farewell My Concubine" who was not suppressed by Zhang Guorong at all. The smile she turned around after returning the sword to him was really filled with the emotion of "I was born here".

Sun Yi found a time to thank Gong Li privately, and promised that he owed a great favor.

Gong Li was also very happy. Although she had no shortage of anything in her current status, Sun Yi's current status was different from before, and a favor could be used in any situation.

In the following filming, Sun Yi used the director's rights to let Liu Yifei participate more, and sometimes even let her try out a few scenes. Although it was very miserable, Liu Yifei felt that she had been improved.

Sometimes, Gong Li would also take some scenes with Liu Yifei, letting her find that feeling through so-called "feeding scenes".

This is no joke, top actors really have this control.

During the interview during the filming of "The City Is Full of Golden Armor", Jay Chou revealed to reporters that he had a crying scene when he met his mother. At first, he was very sad, fearing that he would not be able to cry at the scene. During the filming, he saw Gong Li walking toward him with tears in her eyes. The atmosphere made him cry.

Now Gong Li uses this method to lead Liu Yifei, but unfortunately, this film basically revolves around the two male and female protagonists, Gui Ying and Ma Youtie, and the scenes can be experienced by Xiao Nizi. Not much.

Sun Yi regretted a little. If he had known that he could improve Xiao Nizi's acting skills in this way, he should have written another script.

But to be honest, he didn't expect Gong Li to be able to do this. This time, the favor was greatly overdue.

Liu Yifei stayed on the set for ten days. It was really difficult to delay the activities there. After all, she had signed a contract, so she could only leave early with great regret.

The filming of the crew has also come to an end. There are not many scenes every day. Sun Yi has begun to ask Li Ruijun to sort out the previously shot materials to see if there is anything that needs to be reshot. In about a day or two, the film will be ready. It's ready to be finalized.

Today is the last day according to the shooting plan. Everyone got up early and gathered in the cafeteria to eat breakfast in a very relaxed mood. Sun Yi was teasing his uncle while eating steamed buns.

"Uncle, if nothing goes wrong, our movie will be finished today. Well, it's just over. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Sun, Director Sun, making a movie is quite, quite interesting."

"Uncle, are you interested in becoming a professional actor in the future?"

"Ah, I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Hahaha"

Wu Renlin shook his head in embarrassment, causing everyone at the scene to laugh. It would be finished today, and everyone was in a good mood.

Sun Yi swallowed the last bite of the bun with a smile. Just as he was about to take a sip of soy milk to calm it down, he suddenly noticed that the soy milk in the bowl was inexplicably rippled. Just when he was confused, his feet suddenly shook.
