Full-time actor

Chapter 277 [104] An actor’s ethics!

"It completely fits the role of the script!"

"Haha, what I want is this kind of handsome protagonist!"

Zhang Yimou was smiling on the side, looking at Chen Yu's submission, and nodded repeatedly.

He couldn't be more satisfied. The first time he saw Chen Yu, his mouth never closed.

After all, the real look is still different from the costume; there is no real makeup, just relying on imagination, Zhang Yimou can't even figure out what Chen Yu looks like in costume.

But now, Chen Yu is wearing an embroidered outfit in front of him. Not only is he very heroic, but his face is also full of sunshine and toughness. His makeup and clothing are a lot of points. In addition, Chen Yu's body is not burly, but he is not thin either. , it has that upright feeling, which is more like the sense of sight of a public arrester.

The official Tang Dynasty official uniform he is wearing is expensive, costing 900 yuan alone. Moreover, Wada Emi designed more than 300 sets before choosing this one.

The purple brocade robe with satin flowers, genuine leather for the girdle, and dark placket can make a person's torso slimmer.

"..."

Her clothing looks a bit overshadowed. It is a men's outfit similar to Chen Yu's, slightly darker than Chen Yu's. Of course, this is not the main clothing of her character, but the next scene shot in Ukraine. She is all This body.

"start!"

At the same time, the body and face flashed in the camera.

During the substitution, Zhang Yimou asked Chen Yu.

Zhang Yimou asked there. Chen Yu was familiar with the clothes and boots on his body. He felt that he had never worn such comfortable clothes since filming.

Chen Yu's breathing was also very smooth. His gesture of holding the knife changed from nervous to placed at his side along with the serious expression on his face.

Of course, Capt. Chen also has a private suit.

It is also extremely gorgeous. It was the one he wore when he visited a brothel. It is more noble than the one he is wearing now. It looks elegant and handsome when he wears it.

Zhang Yimou looked bright and immediately gave the order to start filming Chen Yu's first scene.

Zhang Yimou shouted with a walkie-talkie. He sat in front of the monitor. The person responsible for directing the scene was his royal assistant Chang Xiaoyang.

It is also the most expensive set in the play, costing more than 5000 yuan. It is made of embroidery and brocade, and the colors are bright. It draws on elements from Dunhuang. It is specially customized for the male protagonist, and Liu Dehua does not have it.

Zhang Ziyi's most beautiful outfit is actually the water-sleeved dress of a lady from the Tang Dynasty. Chen Yu had seen it in a movie in her previous life, and it was very stunning.

What she wants to see is Chen Yu's ability to control the character and whether he is really into the role as he said.

It’s the same scene anyway, it doesn’t matter who goes first and who comes last, the main thing is to find the state.

Capt. Chen rescued his little girl from prison and met the pursuers while chatting and laughing. Capt. Chen took a knife to explore the enemy's situation. There were no lines, it was just a long shot shot, and it required three segments.

Chen Yu pulled out the knife and rushed into the camera with the knife in his hand. His expression was a little flustered and serious. His body subconsciously turned around to look around and ran wildly. Lao Mouzi noticed a detail here. Chen Yu's steps were very rhythmic.

This is the position of an actor, and it can be said that Chen Yu did a good job, because this shot mainly captures Chen's head-hunting investigation.

It still needs some more grinding and grinding.

Chen Yu completed the two simple shots with ease.

"Start shooting, start shooting!"

Clang——

"Okay, I'm fine!"

There is no need to talk about this game, it is just a very simple run.

Even when he walked out of the set, his aura was stable.

The escape scene was what was going to be shot next.

huh... huh...

Throughout the entire drama, Andy wears a public uniform similar to Chen Yu's, but his is dark green, which has a special meaning.

Zhang Ziyi was fascinated by it. Even though Chen Yu was wearing old makeup and having deep eyebrows, it still did not hinder his handsome masculinity.

Chen Yu waved his hand, feeling that he was coming as soon as he said it, just like the posture of a martial artist.

"can!"

Zhang Ziyi was beside her giving advice. Of course she also had her own selfish motives. She wanted to see what Chen Yu looked like when he performed. This was not to question his acting skills. There was no doubt about his performance, which was recognized by the film festival judges.

This section gave Lao Mouzi a good feeling, it was a very natural performance.

"Which one of you comes first!"

In the past, every outfit either smelled bad, didn't fit well, or didn't fit properly, but this one is really close-fitting.

"Chen Yu, okay?"

"..."

"Chen Yu first, this is your first time working with him after all!"

Zhang Yimou can't see this difference. If martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong were here, he might understand.

"Do you usually walk like this?"

Captain Chen, played by Chen Yu, rescued the little girl she played from prison and gave her his own clothes, and they fled all the way.

It is of course important to highlight the details of appearance and expression.

"no!"

"This is a walking, martial arts move!"

"I think Chen Captou is very powerful in his sword skills and knows martial arts. Of course, he has to show off his martial arts skills in every word and action, including his breathing and so on!"

Chen Yu expressed his opinion, and Zhang Ziyi looked at him with some suspicion.

Doesn't this mean that she has to pay attention too?

After all, the little girl in the movie also knows kung fu.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi's worry, Chen Yu said: "You don't have to. My best skill is flying knives, but it will definitely be better if you walk professionally!"

"The suggestion you made is very good!"

Zhang Yimou really didn't pay attention, including his previous filming, and he actually ignored it.

What, literary drama is separate from martial drama, and the shooting is also different.

But in fact, whether there is some combination of martial arts in literary opera, it is definitely necessary; as Chen Yu just said, you have to walk, talk and behave like a master, otherwise literary opera and martial arts will look very strong. A sense of fragmentation.

This was very serious in Lao Mouzi's "Hero" before.

A master in literature and opera does not have the demeanor of a master. Strictly speaking, "Hero" is just Lao Mouzi's first period martial arts film. Previously, he had made literary films, so of course he had not studied these points of attention.

Zhang Yimou's use of light, shadow and images is absolutely master-level.

Therefore, when he was filming, he had very high requirements for the integration of scenery and characters. However, although these account for a large proportion in martial arts films, martial arts films lose Wu and Xia, which makes no sense.

Moreover, the leading actors in "Hero", Li Lianjie and Zhen Zhuan, are both skilled in martial arts, so they don't need to be emphasized too much; Chen Yu suddenly thought of Zhang Yimou, so he asked.

"I asked why some parts of "Heroes" were inconsistent when I watched it before. It seems that these are the factors!"

"Although Zhou Runfa in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" doesn't know kung fu, he has the bearing of a master..."

Zhang Yimou was thinking there and quickly figured out the key.

"Come on, Ziyi, it's your turn!"

Zhang Yimou is a very talkative person on the set. He is also talkative. He has many questions and opinions. He likes to communicate with actors.

Unlike some directors who like to keep a straight face.

This was quite beyond Chen Yu's expectation; so the filming went very smoothly. The few single scenes were filmed very quickly, and there were very few NGs.

It seems that Zhang Yimou does not have high requirements for acting skills, but in fact the main reason is that the actors he uses have good acting skills, so there is no need to emphasize too much.

Of course, acting in commercial films is second to none. Pictures, light and shadow, costumes, etc. are also crucial.

"Is it almost done?" "Then let's film a drama between the two of you!"

"Generate feelings and sublimate them step by step. Let me see the emotional changes between you!"

"I think it's okay, then let's do some intimate scenes!"

"You want me to see the increase in feelings!"

"Understand?"

"..."

For the first time, Chen Yu felt what the outside world said was Lao Mouzi's chatty nature. He really talked a lot and was very dense.

Zhang Ziyi has filmed several films with him and has long been immune to it. Chen Yu is still a little uncomfortable with it, because the directors he has worked with before are all very talkative, especially Xing Ye, who has almost nothing to do except telling dramas. Discourse.

Good guy, on this day, what Zhang Yimou said has exceeded all Zhou Xingchi's.

In this way, with the help of Lao Mouzi, the relationship between Chen Captou and his little sister grew day by day; and as Chen Yu himself said, from the first day he put on Chen Captou's costume, he only took it off when sleeping. , the rest of the time, he felt like Mr. Chen.

At first, the whole crew was a little uncomfortable with it, but after a long time of contact, they didn't even call Chen Yu, they just called Chen Baotou and called the character's name.

"Hero, we will shoot the kissing scene tomorrow!"

"Tell me, how to shoot?"

Late at night, Zhang Ziyi came to the place where Chen Yu lived. The relationship between the two of them had been growing rapidly in the past few days; but Zhang Ziyi knew that she was only in love with Chen Yu's character, so this kind of detached emotion could make She was so uncomfortable.

As a result, she has been unable to overlap Chen Captou and Chen Yu.

She had even forgotten what Chen Yu looked like. Chen Yu, who wore Chen's makeup every day, made her look more and more pleasing to the eye.

"You rejected me in the first kiss scene!"

"Nonsense, it was obviously you who was kissing me, but I didn't feel anything anymore!"

"Isn't it because you don't love me anymore? I think you don't have me in your heart, so you don't have the pleasure of intimacy?"

"..."

The first kissing scene between Capt. Chen and his little sister was very complicated. Capt. Chen pushed her down, but while they were kissing, the girl stopped them.

This is a need of the plot, not an intimate scene, but a need for performance.

"It's time to chew some gum!"

Chen Yu did not forget to tell Zhang Ziyi, who even laughed a little angrily: "No, brother, shouldn't I tell you this?"

"Boys need to protect themselves outside!"

"If you don't kiss with tongue, why do you want me to chew gum?"

"respect!"

"I respect you, you big-headed devil!"

Zhang Ziyi smiled and went up to hit Chen Yu, but she didn't expect Chen Yu to hook her hand and pull her into his arms.

At that moment, Zhang Ziyi's heart was a little slow.

She struggled a little, but Chen Yu moved his hands there. Zhang Ziyi quickly pushed him away: "I...I'm going back!"

"Do you remember this feeling?"

Chen Yu suddenly said: "We will shoot like this tomorrow!"

"reject!"

"Refuse to be intimate with me!"

Chen Yu smiled frivolously, which even scared Zhang Ziyi.

It was Chen Yu in front of her, but she thought it was Mr. Chen, but his words reminded her of Chen Yu... Does this guy have a split personality?

She really thought that the other party was trying to be scornful of her, so she subconsciously formed a kind of protection.

Unexpectedly, he actually said this again.

"Chen Yu, you...don't you feel uncomfortable like this?"

"It's so uncomfortable!"

Chen Yu smiled: "If it wasn't uncomfortable, I should enjoy this role instead of like this!"

"..."

Zhang Ziyi understood what he meant.

If Chen Yu really turned into Chen Captou, not to mention the hug just now, in fact, it would be okay to have an intimate relationship, because he has become a character, and Chen Captou is such a romantic and casual person.

But, this is just a role.

Chen Yu should at least understand this bottom line.

"If, I mean if, we were a couple in reality, this scene would go very well!"

Zhang Ziyi could feel Chen Yu's dedication to filming.

The whole process of immersion and experience is completely free of any psychological burden.

This is why there are couples in the crew talking about it.

There are so-called "crew couples" who develop feelings while filming, but more often than not, the actors and actresses are so invested in their roles that they cannot end it outside the set. This is why many scenes end with the male and female protagonists Reasons to become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Just keep acting and take it seriously.

Chen Yu could have done this, and Zhang Ziyi might not refuse, but Chen Yu still pulled away.

"So, this drama is bound to have flaws when it comes to acting!"

Not to mention winning awards at the three major film festivals, it was difficult even to be shortlisted, because Chen Yu couldn't devote himself to it, so he couldn't act with that kind of real emotion.

Unless the Zhang Ziyi in front of me was replaced by Liu Yifei, it would be a completely different experience.

"Actually, we can try it-"

"Forget it, senior, I have a girlfriend!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Ziyi nodded and didn't say much. Many things just need to be pointed out.

She understood what Chen Yu meant.

This guy actually wanted to cross him.

She always thought that Chen Yu was a "scumbag" who was ruthless and merciless. He would just slap his butt and walk away after his character left after filming. During this period, even if the two of them had a relationship, they would treat it as if it never happened.

This is also common in many theater groups.

It's almost like a one-night stand, the two of them had sex during the filming.

After the filming, they each left, even pretending they didn’t know each other.

But what Zhang Ziyi didn't expect was that Chen Yu was actually quite innocent. He was so involved in the drama and could still stick to some principled things.

She was quite curious about Chen Yu's little girlfriend. What kind of person could make Chen Yu have such a strong ethics?

"How can we still win the Berlin Best Actor?"

Zhang Ziyi shook her head and could only say that Chen Yu's previous roles may not require emotional support.

In other words, there is no such large-scale scene.

But at least, Zhang Ziyi had a slightly different view of Chen Yu in her heart, an emotion that was mixed with curiosity and a little admiration.

After all, in this circle, there are very few such actors... very few!
