Chapter 45: Expressionism or experienceism?

"Cut!" Wang Yang frowned tightly, shouting: "Jessica, don't you just smile, okay, have some feelings, me-on! Come again!"
The roof garden of the Eastern High School, where you can see the far-reaching Vasach Mountains, the endless mountain view with the blue sky, and the scenery is very beautiful. Women's winter coat m. This is the secret base of "Troy Burton". In this scene, he came here with the heroine "Gabriela" and then the two talked together and told some heartfelt words. In the movie, this A scene is very romantic and beautiful.
However, when shooting, the atmosphere was not so good, the whole crew was crowded here, including the film crew, field service, etc., it can be said that it was "big scene". But is this the reason why Jessica is not playing well?
Jessica and Tom Willing sat on the chair and played this set of shots, but they didn't finish the two lines, they heard "cut" again!
Everyone in the crew stopped, and Vary Fister changed the camera to his shoulder. Looking at Jessica in front, Wang Yang spread his hands and walked up, some helplessly said: "It's exactly the same as before! I don't just want to smile, Jessica, give me a warm and heartfelt feeling! Do you know?"
"Yang, I'm so sorry." Jessica listened to Wang Yang's reprimands, her eyebrows flicked, and she was even more anxious. She had tried several acting methods, but whether it was a smile or a grin. , Can't pass this lens.
Wang Yang suppressed his dissatisfaction and gave her a smile of encouragement, saying: "Nothing, this performance is better!" He said, he clapped his hands to everyone and returned to the back of the camera, saying: " Again."
Vale-Fister straightened the camera, the lighter was holding the soft board and lighting, and the sound engineer also held a long microphone to Jessica and Tom Willing's side; Shouted loudly: "The rooftop garden scene, the fifth set of shots, the 22nd time, start!"
Yes, this set of shots has been taken twenty-one times and still needs to be retaken. In this scene, the other groups of shots went smoothly; but the rest of the scenes, that is, the scene of the male and female protagonists sitting on the chair and talking, Tom Willing ’s performance is OK, but Jessica seems to Absent state, Wang Yang told her to play, analyze, and even insist on how to act, she could not perform well.
More than half a month has passed since the start of "High School Musical", and the majority of the non-high school music scenes have been shot, which is almost complete. The filming work for more than half a month has been smooth, and it is faster than expected. First, the performances of the main actors were not bad; second, the complete split-screen script was prepared early, and I did not encounter the kind of What should I do next? ", And Vale-Fister is very enthusiastic. He helped Wang Yang to correct many wrong lens designs and solved many photography problems.
Wang Yang naturally gained a lot of very valuable experience, and learned a lot from Vale-Fister, such as mastering the lens, when to be fast, when to be slow, and so on; there is also a lot of practical director experience , I ca n’t understand how to read a book, how to let the actors move, how to express their needs, and how to deal with the chores of the entire crew, to maintain the operation of the crew, everything has to come in person, he has made rapid progress and understands The difficulty of producer and director.
This is different from "Ghost Record", holding a dv at home every day and working with Rachel and Zachari talking and laughing; now there are dozens of employees in the crew, if you include more actors, it seems that Everyone in the crew needs his work. The set designer said that the classroom used for shooting is a bit old and needs to be repainted. Then paint it. The film crew asks him what shot he wants to take tomorrow and prepare in advance; Tom- The protagonist Willing and other asked him questions about the script; fieldwork even asked him if he wanted to buy Harry three hamburgers ...
But these are okay, these are in the normal work area, and some things are very annoying.
The set designer and the prop designer quarreled. The set designer complained that the prop designer did not complete the task, but the prop designer said he never knew the "task"; the art director and the makeup artist almost fought, and they insisted that their costume design was " "Young Sunshine", Wang Yang wants to mediate, choose, and appease; there is also a chore in the bar outside at night to get drunk, argue with others, and get into the police station. To solve this matter, and then kicked the guy out of the crew.
Although that guy is a small chore, if this matter is exposed by the media, the image of "High School Musical" will be greatly affected. Under the chain reaction, it may even take out many films produced by Vale-Fest. It is said that this will ruin the effect of the early publicity.
These messy things are almost every day, it can almost exhaust people. Although Wang Yang is young and strong, and although he is full of enthusiasm for making movies, he will sometimes feel very tired these days.
Wang Yang now understands why the teacher who teaches photography will say that the directors are "gunpowder barrels" and "terrorists". Don't provoke them, otherwise you will definitely be scolded badly. He thought that if a producer suddenly appeared next to him and said, "Man, don't shoot like that!", "Budget is not enough!", He would definitely get angry and call the producers abusive. .
Fortunately, as the time approaches Christmas at the end of the month, the Eastern High School has already begun to take a holiday, and the shooting work is much more convenient. Wang Yang does not have to deal with the "enthusiastic" harassment of the girls every day and saves a lot of energy.
In the filming process, guiding the actors how to perform is naturally one of Wang Yang's most thoughtful tasks. This is exactly what the director is doing. Several of the leading roles in "High School Musical" are inexperienced newcomers. Their performances are very immature, like Tom Willing, he is always too restrained and has no expression on his face. Wang Yang reminded this lens that he should laugh. He would laugh; the most worrying thing is Rachel, she played very well, her shots are basically one pass, and it ca n’t pass because other people messed up, she saved Wang Yang a lot Film.
And Jessica ’s performance can be said to be very bad, even to Tom Willing. The problem is not her position, lens sense, and lines. In these aspects, she does better than others; but However, her facial expression often has big problems. Wang Yang wants to give her a slow show and shoot repeatedly, so that she can meet the requirements. It can be said that most of the shooting process was slowed down by her, otherwise it could be faster.
But this scene, she did not pass 21 times. The heroine here, "Gabriella", must have that kind of warm, affectionate feeling; Jessica just reads the lines with a smile on her face, which is far from the desired effect. This is her old problem. It ’s not that she is not serious enough. On the contrary, she plays very hard, but she feels like
she is acting
, she does n’t invest in feelings, and is outside the story. Her efforts are just a kind of It's hard to please.
"It's that feeling to sing with you ..." Jessica looked at Tom Willing and said with a smile, her voice was unnatural, because she was very nervous, afraid to hear that early "cut" again ".
But it still appeared.
"Cut! Cut! Cut!" Seeing Jessica's performance worse, Wang Yang couldn't help shouting three times in a row, and the pressure accumulated over the past days made his anger suddenly come up, but he immediately reacted and covered He took a breath on his forehead and shook his head: "Let's take a break first."
Following his words, Vale-Fest put the camera off his shoulder, and next to Harry George took it cautiously, put the camera back on the tripod; the lighting engineer Steve Taylor also put his hands down , Tom Willing stood up from his chair, said "Just relax" to Jessica, and walked aside to look at the mountain view in the distance.
Jessica sat on her chair with her eyebrows clenched, her fists clenched, and sighed secretly: "I'm like an idiot!" She was afraid of remakes, especially because the problem was with her. I played it and tried all the performances, but it still didn't work.
For more than half a month, Jessica encountered this situation almost every day. She repeatedly shot and listened to Wang Yang ’s instructions, but the more patient Wang Yang was, the more anxious she was; now 22 times in a row, she kept refreshing her Her new record, she felt a little breathless.
22 consecutive times, but also the highest record since shooting, Wang Yang is also helpless, he has done his best to explain the elements of this set of lenses to Jessica, he said his own ideas. If this is the original TV movie, in fact, Jessica ’s performance has also met the requirements. Putting her up, the audience may only pay attention to her appearance and will not think about whether her performance is vivid; but this set comes to him. If it does n’t work, the movie needs to be taken seriously. If everything is
almost on the line
attitude, it will definitely be a bad movie.
The heroine of his film can never be just a beautiful vase, he wants an excellent actor, a "Gabriella"!
"Jessica." Wang Yang frowned and walked over the night, sitting on the bench, looking at the Jessica next to him, and wonderingly asked: "What's wrong with you? You have played well before, What is going on now? "
Jessica glanced at him and apologized: "Yang, I'm sorry, I ..." She hesitated for a while before she gritted her teeth and shook her head slightly: "Yang, I don't know what to do."
"Put into feelings!" Wang Yang said without hesitation. In fact, no matter now or in the future, this is Jessica's biggest weakness in the performance. Those films in his mind, any role is good, her Shen Yun is always the same, like a beautiful vase; there are also a few bad comedies, her performance is very exaggerated, it can be said that she is not suitable for body language to be funny, she does not have this sense of joy.
But relative to other reasons, emotional input is her biggest problem. Wang Yang organized it and said to her again: "Think about the content of this scene in the script, you have to feel the martial arts. Zhou Clan will kill God God Seal Throne at night The Indian throne begs for the world, and the world is the strongest to abandon the current mood of the Gabriela's royal family. "He shrugged and analyzed authentically:" She is very happy and happy, a little ashamed and a little bit moved, her words are in Lou vomiting, a bit like confession, understand? "
Jessica nodded silently. After Wang Yang finished, she suddenly said directly: "I understand this, but I can't act."
"You can!" Wang Yang said undoubtedly, patting the back of her hand, encouraging the authenticity: "me-on, don't say no to yourself, I know you can, you perform very well when auditioning Okay, isn't it? "Jessica looked at him, hesitantly, and said softly:" Yang, I can't. "
Hearing that she always said that she could not, Wang Yang was a little angry and spread her hands and said: "What's wrong with you? You can tell me now, you can't act with me! Please, Jessica, don't you think Let me finish the scene for you ?! "His voice was a bit loud, and suddenly caught the eyes of others, but they immediately withdrew their gazes consciously and walked away.
Jessica's cheeks turned red, a little embarrassed; Wang Yang realized that the tone was too strong, took her hand, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry. Jessica, I'm just a little angry, not because you played It ’s not good because you do n’t have confidence.
He squeezed Jessica ’s hand and smiled:
You ca n’t be without confidence at any time, you know, be confident!

"I should say I'm sorry, I'm not professional enough." Jessica smiled at him, saying that she didn't blame him. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she leaned close to Wang Yang's ear and pressed her voice: "Yang, I know I need to be emotional, but when performing, I looked at Tom's eyes ..." She looked at Wang Yang's face and no longer concealed her thoughts, saying: "That's light green, not your black, there is a voice in my heart reminding me 'He is Tom' ... Yang, auditioning At that time, I was looking at you and I was able to act. "
Is this the case? Wang Yang was a little ridiculous and moved, and wanted to kiss her. He knows that this sweet girl sometimes has to be strong and face-saving, but now she is speaking unreservedly, is this not a trust in him? He thought about it, tried to untie her heart, and said: "Jessica, this is a performance, don't think about so many messy things! I call n, you become Gabriela; I call cut, you Changed back to Jessica ... no. "He suddenly questioned:" Are you expressive or experiential? "
Jessica shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it in this respect." She thought about her way of acting and preached: "When performing, I will think about how the character should be now, and then Try to tell yourself that I am her and let myself perform her. "
That is the experience school. Wang Yang looked at her and thought of her future movie. Apparently her experientialism failed. He suggested authentically: "If you still can't get rid of the voice in your heart, the expressionism is more suitable for you. The character's psychology has nothing to do with you. You are just imitating it! Jessica, don't have any psychological burden for this. It ’s not just the experience school that ’s called acting or acting, you should know this.

Jessica nodded thoughtfully, and Yang made sense. On the one hand, she wanted to integrate into the role, and on the other hand, she was sober, which caused a great psychological burden. Should she act like an expressionist?
Wang Yang patted her shoulder and smiled again: "Also, you don't have to really look at Tom's eyes when you perform, your eyes can pass through his shoulder to go to the night, and look far away Far, facing the mountain view behind, this will be much better. "He shrugged and smiled:" Anyway, your eyes are in the same direction before the camera. "
Seeing Vale-Feste coming here, Wang Yang stood up, Vale looked at him and Jessica, and said, "Jan, I have an idea. You sit on the chair and Jessie. Card game. "Jessica and Wang Yang were both startled. Wang Yang lost his smile and said," What, I'm coming? "Valai nodded with a smile and said," Anyway, all we need now is a close-up shot of her. I can't photograph who she is talking to. "
This method is good. When editing later, just connect Tom's lens. Wang Yang said with a puzzled face: "But why did I come?" Vale-Fister smiled and spread his hands, said: "Everyone knows." Wang Yang looked at Jessica, haha ​​laughed: "Oh, everyone knows it?" Although their love affair was not deliberately concealed, it was not publicized everywhere.
Looking at Jessica who smiled a little and shy, Wang Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Now this expression is great! He nodded and said: "Okay, let's play the game first and see the effect." After all, he sat down in his chair and smiled, "Go ahead, Gabriella."
It is possible to play against Wang Yang, which brings a lot of freshness to Jessica. She is full of enthusiasm and starts performing with a smile, saying the line: "Remember that when we were in kindergarten, once we met a new Friends, after ten seconds, you can become speechless, because you do n’t need to hide yourself at all ... "Her eyes are bright and her voice smiles playfully:" Singing with you, that's how it feels ... "
Wang Yang smiled and said, "Well, I just know that I never thought about singing, really, until you appear." Jessica made herself feel the martial arts. Throne Devil Ao Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoning Young Da Zhou Clan Strongest Night Abandoning God God Seal Throne Qiu De Ao Nine Heavy Heavens Abandoning Young Da Zhou Royal Clan Strong Night Killing God God Seal Throne The Shaozhou Zhou royal family made the gods and killed the God of the Immortal Throne in the night to seek the devil. The Nine Heavens was the strongest to abandon the Shaozhou Zhou royal family with Gabriella's mood. He lowered his head a little shamefully and raised his head and smiled: "You really want Take part in the second round of auditions? "Wang Yang shrugged casually:" Hey, ask me to blame the boy for the audition. "
Jessica smiled sweetly: "Yang, you are so cool." She remembered the situation when Yang was surrounded by girls, and when he played with Danny, like a child; and when he made a movie, She was very serious and focused. She could n’t help but say the next line from her heart:
But not because you are a character, you are very cool. Thank you for taking me to your secret base.
She thought about the elementary school The beauty, as well as the present, full of happiness and warmth, said: "It seems that when I returned to kindergarten."
"Wow, the perfect performance ..." Wang Yang murmured. When Jessica heard this, she suddenly looked energetic. Seeing Vale smile with a thumbs up, Wang Yang shook his head and smiled: "Ok, there is no way, just use this method. But Jessica, you want to say Troy, not Yang." He vigorously patted Set out and shouted: "Everyone is everyone!"
Soon, everything was ready again. Wang Yang did not stand behind the camera and continued to sit on the chair. The record shouted "Twenty-third time, n!" Jessica repeated her mood and looked at her side Wang Yang of the real performance.
After she finished acting, Wang Yang could not wait to shout: "cut, perfect!" Vale-Fister laughed: "It's taken." Jessica was all loose, and Wang Yang also exhaled. At last, all the shots of this scene were finished, and he stood up and smiled, "It's over, let's get off work!"
The crowd immediately cheered and started packing up the photographic equipment. Wang Yang directed for a while, then walked back to Jessica in the back and smiled: "Jessica, this time it is solved, but it can't always be like this "You need to overcome this problem." Jessica nodded and said: "Yang, I will work hard to learn the expressionist performance method." Wang Yang said well, leaned into her ear and said quietly: "Don't talk about these first. , Wait for us to go to the restaurant to eat, and then go to a movie! "Jessica's eyes lit up, surprised and said:" Really? "
"Of course!" Wang Yang nodded with a smile. He hasn't dated Jessica since he was on a vacation a long time ago. He is not a rookie. He knows that love is like planting flowers. It needs to be watered and basked so that the flowers will not wither. Especially recently at work, he and Jessica have a lot of pressure, it is time to release.
Jessica smiled happily and expectantly: "Which movie should we watch?" Wang Yang smiled and hugged her: "You take the idea. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com"
After having dinner in a Western restaurant, the two went to the cinema to watch the recently released "Electronic Love Letter" and had a sweet date.
After the appointment, the two returned to a hotel near Eastern High School, where the entire crew lived. Wang Yang took a shower and did n’t go to bed. He sat at his desk and looked at a sub-screen script and filming plan on hand. The remaining non-singing and dancing scenes in "High School Musical" took about two days to solve. By the way, those scenes are all outside the campus, such as Troy Burton's home, Gabriella's home, etc. The crew has already rented out the scenes for shooting.
Then, the next step is to shoot the singing and dancing part. There are several scenes of singing and dancing scenes, school corridors, basketball halls, canteens, auditoriums, etc., Wang Yang is ready to complete the shots of the eastern high school canteens, corridors and other places. It is also time for Christmas. The content of the basketball court, auditorium, etc.
The dance director hired specifically has already arrived in Salt Lake City, ready to work at any time; but the problem now is that the song for "High School Musical" has not been chosen yet!
