Entertaining Children

Chapter 918 Improvising

Xiao Yao's production team only had one day off this time, but fortunately, the next morning after returning from the holiday, there was no role for Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao could comfortably spend a night with Sun Tingting in the residence, but it was only one night.

In the afternoon of the next day, Sun Tingting's show was going to be rehearsed on the stage, and Xiao Yao was going to join the filming group. In the morning, the two of them set off from their residences and returned to work.

Back on the crew, Xiao Yao found that most of the crew were in a good state of mind after returning from vacation.

The crew has been in operation for more than 20 days, which is equivalent to more than 20 days of running-in with the crew members. After more than 20 days of running-in, the crew members are more familiar with each other, and the work efficiency has improved to a certain extent. However, as the staff became more familiar with each other, Xiao Yao found that he had to face some problems that he hadn't thought of before.

In the entire crew, Gao Jianming, who plays the heroine's father, is the oldest among all the main actors. Gao Jianming has the longest acting experience and the richest acting experience. To say that the least worrying actor in the entire crew is also this veteran actor. But it is precisely this veteran actor who is very reassuring in acting, but he has become a "moth" in the crew.

On the second night after returning from vacation, there was a scene in which the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao was at the female protagonist's house.

In terms of the filming progress of the crew, about a quarter of the entire film has been filmed so far. From the perspective of the plot, the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao and the female protagonist played by Yin Xi have met and started to fall in love, but the female protagonist’s family has not discovered it yet, and the two have not yet disclosed it to the female protagonist’s family.

Tonight's scene is about the male protagonist sending the female protagonist home. He was about to leave when he was sent downstairs to the female protagonist's house, but he happened to be met by the female protagonist's younger brother who was returning home. In order to conceal their love relationship, the male protagonist lied that he was looking for the female protagonist's younger brother, and happened to meet the female protagonist. The heroine's younger brother has no doubts. Seeing the male lead came to find him, he invited the male lead upstairs and went home together.

Before the crew was on holiday, there was a scene in which the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao went to the female protagonist's house and had dinner with the female protagonist's family.

Compared with the previous scene, tonight's scene is more difficult.

In the previous scene, although the hero played by Xiao Yao had a crush on the heroine, the two hadn't started dating yet. That was a normal visit, and everyone behaved relatively naturally. And in tonight's scene, the hero played by Xiao Yao and the heroine played by Yin Xi are in a period of passionate love, and they can't help but have some eye contact or facial expressions between the lovers, but the two have to hide their relationship with the heroine's family. The fact that people are in love cannot be seen by others.

In terms of the plot alone, the performance of the actors in this scene is more difficult than the previous one. What made the scene even more difficult was that Gao Jianming suddenly started to improvise during filming, instead of following the script.

Actors don't follow the script exactly when filming, and while it's rare to improvise on set, it's not particularly rare either. As long as it conforms to the theme of the script and the direction of the plot, the director will generally not stop and force the actors to follow the script completely.

An old actor like Gao Jianming who has acted in many dramas has his own understanding of the characters in the script, and his own creative ability is very strong. It is not too strange to improvise when filming, and the content of his improvisation is also in line with the direction of the plot. Yes, director Chen Jun naturally wouldn't stop it casually.

As a result, the requirements for actors who play with him have also become higher.

Actors improvising on the spot is not changing the script on the spot. On-site script modification means that the actors discuss the script with the director on the set, modify the script on the spot after the director agrees, and then shoot according to the revised script. The other actors know the revised script and how to cooperate with the play. The actor's improvisation is not to say hello to anyone. After the rehearsal, he suddenly changed his performance during the official shooting.

Faced with an actor who improvised during filming, other actors who play with him must first react quickly. The filming was in progress and had to react quickly,

In order to catch his improvisation. The other point is that while responding quickly, the response must be correct, so that the connection can be natural and good.

The scene was not short, and it was not shot directly from beginning to end in one long shot, and there were some sub-shots in the middle. There are five characters appearing in this scene tonight, they are the female protagonist's family of four and the male protagonist played by Xiao Yao. From the perspective of the lens, this scene is not all a group play of five characters. In different shots, each has some rivalry.

Gao Jianming's first impromptu play tonight was a scene where he played against Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao's reaction was still quick. When Gao Jianming suddenly improvised without following the script, although he was surprised, the director didn't stop, and Xiao Yao followed Gao Jianming's performance.

Gao Jianming's impromptu performance also exceeded director Chen Jun's expectations, but Chen Jun is also an experienced director, and he didn't stop immediately because Gao Jianming's performance was different from the script, but just pinched for Xiao Yao in his heart. sweat. Seeing that Xiao Yao's catch was pretty good, Chen Jun naturally asked the two to finish their impromptu rivalry before calling a stop.

"Mr. Gao, you are really amazing!" After the director stopped, Xiao Yao said to Gao Jianming.

Although Gao Jianming's improvisation surprised Xiao Yao, but to be honest, Xiao Yao felt that the content of Gao Jianming's improvisation was in line with the plot and character settings, and his performance was also very good. After director Chen Jun yelled to stop, he immediately yelled again, showing that the director was also satisfied with Gao Jianming's improvisation.

"Mr. Gao, did you just improvise this part?" Other actors also came over and said to Gao Jianming, "It really is an old actor, amazing!"

"Really?" Gao Jianming smiled, "I'm still worried that Xiao Yao will say that I forgot the lines of the script and didn't act according to the script, and he will fine me!"

"Ha~" The other actors all laughed.

"How come?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I can't even tell the difference between improvisation and improvisation without memorizing the lines of the script? Besides, when we moved the scene before, you followed the script. How could it be that you can't remember the lines? Besides, our crew fines the behind-the-scenes personnel who made mistakes, not the actors."

"However, you really surprised me by coming here so suddenly!" Xiao Yao continued, "If I get a heart attack from being frightened by you, I don't rule out the possibility of seeking compensation from you."

"Okay! Go ahead, I'll be in charge!" Gao Jianming knew that Xiao Yao was joking, and laughed.

"Xiao Yao, the scene with Mr. Gao was very good just now!" At this time, the director Chen Jun also came over, first patted Xiao Yao, then looked at Gao Jianming and said, "Mr. Gao, when you were filming before, you also Do you often improvise like this?"

"It's okay," Gao Jianming said, "it's not too much, and it's not too little! It's mainly to see how I feel, and I also want to see who the opposite actor is. If the opponent is a newcomer with relatively little experience, I usually don't play casually." Improvisation."

"So, Teacher Gao recognizes Xiao Yao's ability in this area?" Yin Xi asked with a smile. She heard that Gao Jianming's last words meant that he was afraid that newcomers would not be able to handle him, so he would not improvise casually.

"It is indeed very capable!" Gao Jianming nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Gao, Xiao Yao is the youngest of all the actors in this crew!" Yin Xi reminded with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with age!" Gao Jianming smiled, then shook his head and said, "No, it has something to do with age. But although Xiao Yao is the youngest actor in the crew, he is actually not young. I'm not afraid to offend you guys If so, Xiao Yao is indeed the best actor among you young actors!"

No matter in terms of awards or word-of-mouth, at least in this crew, Xiao Yao is indeed recognized as the best acting among young actors. Even putting aside Xiao Yao's identity as a producer, everyone will not object to Gao Jianming's evaluation.

With Gao Jianming's current worth and status, he came to this crew to play such a role, which is actually condescending. The reason why Gao Jianming took such a role is because of Xiao Yao. He was very interested in Xiao Yao, a guy who was often touted by the media as a genius and evildoer.

Xiao Yao has many evil deeds, but Gao Jianming is an actor, and what he pays attention to is also Xiao Yao's performance in film and television performances.

Judging from the several film and television works that Xiao Yao has acted in, Gao Jianming's evaluation of Xiao Yao's acting skills is very good, but Gao Jianming feels that the performance presented in the film and television works is not enough. It is true that Xiao Yao's acting skills in film and television works are very good, but in the end what is presented in film and television works cannot reflect the state and performance of the actors during filming.

To put it simply, some actors especially need the guidance of a good director. For example, some actors won the best actor and actress at a young age, but there are few classic works in the follow-up. There are also some actors who performed well in TV dramas when they debuted, but then got worse and worse, and eventually became representatives of bad acting skills. In China's film and TV circles, such actors are not alone.

Gao Jianming took this role because he wanted to see what Xiao Yao, a representative of the new generation of actors with excellent acting skills, would look like when acting in the crew.

Originally, Gao Jianming came here to see Xiao Yao's performance during filming, but Xiao Yao's performance in the crew greatly exceeded his expectations.

First of all, Gao Jianming discovered that Xiao Yao was actually Yin Xi's acting instructor. In Gao Jianming's first scene in the group, there was no Xiao Yao, only Yin Xi. Gao Jianming didn't expect to meet Xiao Yao so early, but found that Xiao Yao not only came, but also told Yin Xi about the scene before the filming, guiding her performance. Xiao Yao didn't deliberately avoid other people when he was talking to Yin Xi about the drama direction, and Gao Jianming also listened to it a few times. He found that Xiao Yao not only knows how to act, but also has the ability to teach others to act.

Secondly, Gao Jianming discovered that Xiao Yao's memory is really good. Because Gao Jianming found that whether it was when he saw Xiao Yao talking to Yin Xi, or later filming with Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao didn't have a script in his hand, and he never seemed to have read other people's scripts.

Many actors read the script during the stage of speaking and playing before filming. There are some actors who don't read the script during the stage of speaking and playing. They are very serious and have memorized the script very well. But even if it is like that, at least he will bring the script with him, and get familiar with it while taking a break. Someone like Xiao Yao who has been on the set for half a day and has never had a script in hand, Gao Jianming has never seen a script in his thirty years as an actor.

Xiao Yao has worked as a director, so he can teach others to act. Xiao Yao has a good memory, which he has shown many times in variety shows. But the feeling behind the scenes is always different. Gao Jianming will inevitably have some doubts about Xiao Yao's actual performance directed by the crew and the authenticity of his performance in variety shows. But after watching Xiao Yao's performance in the crew, Gao Jianming found that at least Xiao Yao's performance in variety shows was not exaggerated at all.

Gao Jianming saw Xiao Yao's performance during the filming, saw Xiao Yao directing Yin Xi to act, and also saw Xiao Yao's memory and familiarity with the script. After watching these, Gao Jianming wanted to see more.

In the scene filmed with Xiao Yao before, Gao Jianming wanted to test whether Xiao Yao, who did not bring the script to the set, was really that familiar with the script, so he acted according to the script in a regular manner. After discovering that Xiao Yao had followed the script completely during the official filming, and his lines and actions were not bad at all, in the second scene filmed with Xiao Yao, Gao Jianming began to improvise to test Xiao Yao's The ability to react and improvise too.

Therefore, Gao Jianming's improvisation this time was intentional, and it was an assessment for Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao successfully caught his impromptu scene, and Gao Jianming also admired Xiao Yao's ability in this aspect.

Although Gao Jianming's improvisation was deliberately aimed at Xiao Yao's test, Gao Jianming didn't want to make it too obvious. In the following shooting, Gao Jianming also had some improvisational parts when he was acting in rival scenes with other people, and even in multi-crowd scenes.

The actor who plays the heroine's mother is also an experienced middle-aged actress, and she has no problem coping with Gao Jianming's improvisation. Yin Xi and Yu Shaoting have more works and filming time than Xiao Yao, but generally speaking, they are still slightly inferior in experience and acting skills. Fortunately, although Gao Jianming improvised, he did not act only once. Sometimes the two of them didn't pick up the scene well, and Gao Jianming could still have the mood to repeat his improvisation. In this case, it is basically equivalent to the actor changing the script on the spot. If you prepare more and take more pictures, you can still pass.

Although the shooting time of this scene was longer than expected, overall, it was completed relatively smoothly.

Although Gao Jianming's improvisation seems to be very improvised when filming tonight, basically when he is filming with any actor, but Xiao Yao found that Gao Jianming seemed to improvise the most when he was acting with him.

After several scenes with Gao Jianming, Xiao Yao confirmed this.
