The previous scenes were all shot very smoothly.
Of course, it may also be because the previous scenes were not complicated.
Until the scene where Zhao Mengsheng became the instructor for the first time and ended up stuttering nervously.
"The eighth scene of "Wreaths Under the Mountain", the third shot, the first time!"
If you don’t participate in military training in military scenes, it would be really difficult to capture that feeling.
Li Yi sat on the director's chair and looked at the monitor. Liang Sanxi, played by Lin Yunbin, was speaking!
"This is instructor Zhao who was newly transferred to our company..."
Lin Yunbin's speech was sonorous and powerful, but Li Yi frowned instead!
"Click!"
"Liang Sanxi, at this time, Zhao Mengsheng has not exposed his purpose and flaws, so you welcome Instructor Zhao from the bottom of your heart, and this is not a lecture, but a welcome to Instructor Zhao, so don't look serious. , come back!" Li Yi said.
The second time, Lin Yunbin's condition was obviously much better.
But when we were filming Zhao Mengsheng's speech, something went wrong again.
"Comrades, I'm not very good at it, and I don't have much experience!"
"Click!"
Li Yi shouted to stop filming again.
The actor who plays Zhao Mengsheng is also a movie king-level actor, Zhou Guo!
I just don’t know if he wasn’t in the mood or something, but he was in trouble from the beginning of this speech.
"Zhao Mengsheng, you are nervous, you are nervous. This is your first time joining the company. You have never spoken in front of so many people, so you are very nervous. Nervousness is not just about speaking smoothly, but also your body language?" In fact, Zhou Guo's tone and speaking speed were fine, but she just stopped talking.
"Sorry, director, do it again!" Zhou Guo immediately understood what his problem was and said quickly.
"action!"
Shooting begins again.
This time, Zhou Guo's performance was completely different from before.
"Ho, ho, comrades!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was obvious that he had a snoring sound! The corner of his mouth was grinning, but he couldn't smile completely. He restrained his smile before smiling, which gave people the feeling of being extremely nervous.
Li Yi nodded secretly. In fact, every actor has his own style and ideas on how to perform.
It is impossible for Li Yi to make extremely detailed requirements on expressions and tone. He is more demanding in general aspects, and it depends more on the actor's self-understanding.
Zhou Guo is worthy of being the Golden Dragon Best Actor. As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yi felt something.
"My level is not high!" He suddenly turned to the side of the company commander Liang Sanxi, and then turned back. This was a sign of lack of confidence.
It’s just that the chest is rising and falling! The smile on his face also seemed a little forced.
"I...uh huh!"
He coughed with a noticeable pause.
"I am willing to work with everyone to do a good job...!" When he said the last word "do a good job", his voice obviously suddenly became lower and smaller!
"Uh, um..." He suddenly paused, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
Then he shouted: "I'm done!"
While giving a military salute! Then took two steps back!
It can be said that it is in sharp contrast to Liang Sanxi before. When Liang Sanxi spoke, he was sonorous and powerful, and he did not move his feet at all. But when he came to Zhao Mengsheng, he not only did not stop making small movements when he spoke, but also even when he spoke. It's not smooth.
"Hey, this one is good, but the salute at the end! Why did you do it so hastily?"
Li Yi asked with a frown.
"Director, this is how I understand it. Zhao Mengsheng is speaking for the first time at this time, and he is speaking to so many people. Therefore, for him, he is not only nervous, but also suffering. Therefore, I think his mood at this time should be I am anxious to escape..." Zhou Guo explained.
"No, no, no, this is different. Although Zhao Mengsheng has never been in a company, although he is a son of a high-ranking cadre, and although he has shortcomings of one kind or another, one thing is engraved in his bones, that is, he is a soldier! So! , his salute is the most standard at any time!"
"I understand!" Zhou Guo thought for a while and finally nodded.
Filmed again, this time Zhou Guo obviously performed much better than the previous one.
Li Yi also has some own understanding of this movie.
For example, Zhao Mengsheng's salute, in Li Yi's opinion, is a sign!
He was indeed pampered since he was a child, but once he reached the grassroots company, all the shortcomings under his beautiful appearance were exposed.
For example, as an instructor, he can't even speak loudly.
Even during the lila exercise, the other soldiers were fully armed and neatly climbed to the top of the mountain and came back. But he was only halfway there when he not only took off his armed belts, but also handed the load to a guard who was much smaller than him. .
However, Li Yi felt that Zhao Mengsheng should not look like a soldier at all.
The standard salute is the last part of his pride as a soldier that is engraved in his bones.
A pride that belongs to a soldier, which is also the reason why he can change and grow later.
Therefore, when he spoke, he was timid and did not look like a qualified instructor at all, but he must retain his final bottom line as a soldier.
Instead of being completely unlike a warrior! If this is the case, there will be no subsequent transformation!
The filming of the movie was actually not that smooth at first.
It's not that these actors' acting skills are not good, but that their understanding of the role is often different from Li Yi's requirements for the role!
This is the most common problem when working with big-name actors.
Because, unlike those young actors, such as Lin Jinrong, they basically do whatever Li Yi asks.
However, Chen asked them that these actors would not be like this.
They will do what Li Yi asks, but they will also have their own ideas and put forward their own opinions.
The same is true when performing.
Therefore, the initial adjustment was actually quite painful.
Because everyone has their own ideas and understanding, and Li Yi also has his own ideas and understanding.
Therefore, how to find common points of convergence is the problem Li Yi wants to solve.
Of course, as a director, Li Yi also found it particularly enjoyable to watch this group of actors with superb acting skills.
Moreover, these actors do not need to worry about Li Yi most of the time. They rarely have several scenes that are stuck and cannot pass the first time. Most of the time, it is because of inconsistent thinking.
The second time, after Li Yi made a clear request, they were able to quickly and easily fulfill Li Yi's request.
However, what Li Yi was most worried about did not happen.
What worries him most? What worries me the most is that these big names will not give face to them on the spot and question their own requirements.
But the result was not the same. Chen Wen and others were very respectful to the director Li Yi. Even if they had questions or different ideas, they would only discuss it with Li Yi after the filming was completed.
Later, it evolved into that before shooting started every day, everyone would have a short meeting together to express their opinions.
Before shooting begins, try to unify the existing differences in ideas.
In this way, after the running-in period, the filming of the movie gradually became extremely smooth.
Not to mention that every time it is a pass, but there are very few scenes where the scene is stuck for most of the day!
Li Yi doesn't polish a scene over and over again. Maybe other actors need this, but Chen asked them that these actors don't need it at all!
