Chapter 611 I am this character
The afternoon's scenes went smoothly as well.
This scene depicts Dugu Rang discussing matters with the five pavilion masters. Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu are still in the morning's state, so there are naturally no problems.
The same is true for most other people.
Although they were all present for the morning scenes, it was an ensemble piece, and each person might only have one line or none at all.
No matter what, it's not difficult for professional actors to maintain perfect shooting for one or two shots.
The afternoon scene, being a close-up and a more detailed one, required a different level of performance.
The character with the most lines is Liu Moqian. As the Plague Calamity Venerable who represents the plague, her overall character is more of a strategist.
Of course, it's different from the intelligence type of Crane Shadow Prince, but this setting firstly fits her own temperament, and secondly, this kind of role is not difficult for her.
Secondly, there's Gu Lin. He doesn't have many lines, but Bingxian Jie Chixiao, who represents war, is a character with a strong personality, so he needs to convey a lot of emotions.
During the meeting, the Chixiao Society proposed a radical plan to directly crush the Central Plains regardless of personnel losses, but they could not appear reckless or impulsive. The difficulty lay in this.
In addition, it is vastly different from the roles he has played before...
This time, he can't be thinking about how to show off his beauty mark from the best angle under the camera.
Fortunately, he had rehearsed for two months and had been putting in a lot of effort to change the public's impression of him, so he only had to do two takes before he passed.
Chen Sui also had no problem; he had been waiting for this moment for so many years.
In addition, Xuan Jian is a taciturn character.
This may seem easy at first glance, but it is not.
The absence of lines does not mean that a blank expression is sufficient. On the contrary, without lines and tone of voice to express the character's personality and emotions, one can only rely on facial expressions and body language to convey them.
But Chen Sui did a pretty good job.
In the end, the person with the most questions was, to everyone's surprise, Ji Ran.
I don't know why he can't pronounce his lines well...
The eternal silence of the white death represents death, and he needs to grimly agree with the idea of conquering the Central Plains after the Venerable of War proposes it.
Ji Ran's appearance and temperament are perfect in every way, except for his stuttering when delivering his lines...
After about five takes, Qi Nanzhao frowned and said, "Teacher Ji, why don't you take a break? And Teacher Gu too."
Ye Sanqing thought to himself that when Qi Nanzhao got serious, he did indeed have the air of a great director.
Ren Junxiao is good at judging people. Generally speaking, hiring a director who has just graduated is a big risk for a production of this level.
It seems that Qi Nanzhao is indeed very talented.
Because this break was suggested at just the right time.
This isn't just a problem with Ji Ran, but also with Gu Lin. He didn't control his emotions well; the earlier parts were intense, but here he actually toned it down a bit.
If this kind of scene keeps releasing emotions, it will only turn into a scene from a roaring, screaming style...
"Excuse me, I'm going out for some fresh air."
Ji Ran knew he had a problem; he always felt there was a subtle difference in his emotions.
However, he lacked experience and could only sense the problem but couldn't pinpoint it.
Qi Nanzhao had already stood up and waved to him upon hearing this, clearly wanting to talk to him about the play alone.
Gu Lin walked over, looking slightly apologetic.
Liu Moqian: "I'll go check on the situation. You guys take a rest."
"Okay, Teacher Liu."
Sheng Hanyu nodded.
Three of the four Venerable Ones had left, leaving only Chen Sui sitting there...
Sheng Hanyu waved to Xiao Ze outside the venue, and Xiao Ze immediately came over with two drinks. Sheng Hanyu took them and handed one to Ye Sanqing without hesitation.
Chen Sui: Suddenly I felt like I should be under the car?
"Teacher Chen, what would you like to drink? I'll have Xiaoze get it for you."
Sheng Hanyu had actually noticed that Chen Sui didn't have an assistant either. He had originally intended to get him a drink, but he didn't know what he liked.
"Uh, no need to be so polite with me... I'll just have some ice water."
Chen Sui had just finished the first half of his sentence when he was met with a disapproving look from Ye Sanqing.
Chen Sui: Help! I think I've been targeted by the cult leader... Wait a minute, it seems like they're not filming anymore?
So he instinctively asked for ice water.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hanyu nodded to Xiao Ze, who quickly ran out and soon returned with a glass of ice water.
"Teacher Chen, here's your ice water."
Chen Sui accepted it with some trepidation.
He started to think about whether he should hire an assistant. Although he could do most things himself, it wasn't convenient for him to move around in his costume in this situation...
Moreover, Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing were both very generous, but this made him even more embarrassed, because he couldn't possibly treat their assistants as his own.
"Do you think we should hire a few more assistants?"
Sheng Hanyu said to Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing: "Yes, the crew does have assistants now, but they're not assigned to specific individuals. I was just thinking about that too."
The assistants on a film set are generally responsible for general miscellaneous tasks and do not provide personalized services to each actor.
Actually, these tasks are mainly handled by the production assistants. Their crew also has special crew assistants, which is already considered to be above average.
The ushers are responsible for a broader range of things, such as arranging the meal times for the day, but coordinating with each individual is the job of the crew assistants.
This is done to improve efficiency. It's the industry standard for site staff to handle miscellaneous tasks, but their team believes that it's better to have a clear division of labor so that the process is clearer and the coordination is smoother.
This is just one example; there are many other things that stagehands are responsible for.
In short, Chen Sui was quite surprised when he heard this. He had never been in a film crew before, where it was best to do everything by himself.
"How about we create a shared assistant group? It sounds so modern to me."
Ye Sanqing smiled.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing. Well, some things you really don't know until filming starts."
Sheng Hanyu said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. Teacher Chen, there's no need to be so formal. We're all colleagues."
"Ok."
Chen Sui nodded quickly.
The group of people who went out returned quickly, and it seemed that they had all adjusted their mindset.
Qi Nanzhao, who was walking at the very back, clearly showed a sense of admiration for Liu Moqian.
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "It seems I didn't pay Liu Moqian enough to invite him over."
It's not enough to just perform well yourself; you can also guide others, after all, you're a teacher.
Liu Moqian, on the other hand, remained quite composed, because for her, it was just a matter of a word.
Ji Ran's problem is that he treats the role too seriously.
To put it bluntly, they didn't immerse themselves in the role.
When performing, you shouldn't think, "I need to play this role well," but rather, "I am this role."
