- December 12th, Friday, is the day when filming of "Dance of Angels" starts!
Today's start-up time is scheduled to be around 9:00, and the crew will gather at 8:00. Ye Wei got up at 6 o'clock. After the usual morning exercise and other activities, he took the lead in taking action, moving the necessary equipment from the hall to the back. The garden is decorated with dining tables, seating areas, dressing areas, etc
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao both helped. They were very happy for their son. In their opinion, this achievement was already very remarkable. What more could they ask for?
Ye Wei's mood was different. With high morale, he was holding back a breath and a breath of bad breath that could only be expressed by making this short film!
"Little Miss Sunshine", Willis, "It's Daisy's fault", Focus Movies, Lily's mother, everyone, movie dreams
You don¡¯t have much time to underestimate me!
After 7:30, eight college students including Darum, Parela, Peter, and Susan arrived one after another. Under the command of Ye Wei, they immediately began to work separately. The assistant director and photographer set up the camera position, and the lighting engineer adjusted the Lighting, art and props artists set up the set
Everything was in order, and they also showed full professionalism. On the set, the 15-year-old director was also a director, and realizing the director's intentions was the highest purpose of the cast and crew! So if they have any questions or decisions they need to make, they will still ask Ye Wei.
¡° Then Ye Wei would patiently explain clearly, while joking, making everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for work even higher.
"It looks like there's no problem, Verity can direct." At the back door of the house, Ye Haogen's face was filled with relief, and he had an air that he had never seen before. That was his son!
"God knows how he learned it, but it looks good." Gu Qiao also looked happy.
Dodo and Toto were temporarily isolated inside the doorway by a wooden board. They looked at each other curiously, wanting to run up and play and make a movie with their brother.
Nearly 8:00, Anna and her family came to the set. Because David will go back to Denver after this weekend, he and Janet will jointly take care of their daughter for this performance.
As soon as Anna arrives, stylist Amy Kate can start working. All the characters' makeup has been finalized in the past two days. "Anna's" style focuses on liveliness, cuteness, and friendliness. The princess skirt is passed, but the pleated midi skirt is Yes, a little jacket, a T-shirt, little dancing shoes, shoulder-length blond hair hanging loose, and a small plastic hairpin on his forehead.
In terms of makeup, of course, the makeup is very light, the eyebrows are longer, a little powder is applied on the face, and the eyelashes are brushed a few times
At the same time, Purton Green and Claire Giles, who played Anna¡¯s parents, also came.
The extras who will appear today are gradually arriving. They stay in the extra rest area aside, reading scripts, reading books, playing with mobile phones, chatting They can do whatever they want. As long as they don't run around and hear the assistant director calling their names, they need to Come on and perform, immediately pounce.
At 8:30, the takeaway food truck from Good Taste Restaurant arrived, bringing a truck full of delicious snacks, including bread, hot dogs, and Polish dumplings. The food delivery person was Bud's father, who was fat and thick. He didn't want to leave for a long time and was full of curiosity about this middle school student director's set.
And Ye Haogen specially gave himself a day off today.
Preparations on the set continue, and this is what most of the shooting was like: everyone was busy doing something, noisy, and walking around.
The photographer was playing with the camera, the lighting engineer was holding a reflector to test the amount of light, the sound engineer was playing with the mixer like a DJ, various cables were messily tangled on the ground, and the people in the set team were competing with the scene. Even the position of an ant on the ground had to be dealt with, the scene notes kept writing, and the assistant director kept shouting something
Everyone is looking for the director for advice, and the director also has his own things to be busy with, coaching the actors!
Before starting the filming, the director must lead the actors to do a good rehearsal, otherwise there will be constant NG. It¡¯s okay to say that the memory tapes shot digitally can be used repeatedly, but shooting on film can¡¯t afford that time and money. But if you want to be efficient and achieve the planned 5:1 shooting ratio, it¡¯s best to rehearse actively.
Determining the stage position and warming up for the performance are the two major tasks of actors during rehearsal.
"Hahaha, Bella, you idiot, have you forgotten what I taught you before? When I bent down"
In the performance area, Anna was playing with Bella, turning around according to the marked moves, as if dancing. Her movements and expressions were very exaggerated, and her voice was full of artificial accents, as if she were a character from a Shakespearean comedy.
Ye Wei stood nearby, holding his chin with his right hand and his right elbow with his left hand, observing her performance intently.
Body performance, facial performance, eye performance, and voice performance, these four parts are all over the top!
If it is normalThe power of the screen performance is 5, and the power of the normal stage performance is 8, so now she is 10, full of firepower, but very bad.
But this is not surprising to her at all, firstly because she is young, and secondly because she only has stage experience. At this time, the director is more important than the food. He will lower her performance to 5 in the remaining 20 minutes of rehearsal.
It can also be said that let her perform in a completely different new way! Not just one or two shots, but to complete the transition from stage to screen, turn her talent and potential into good-takes, let her shine, and let her shock Wang Ying and the others!
"But if he can't do it within 20 minutes, he has to accept 7, 8, 9, 10 and then think of other ways to solve it. Time waits for no one.
When Anna finished this part, Ye Wei immediately walked up, making a lowering gesture, and guided: "Anna, lower the intensity of your performance, just like usual, be natural."
Darum, Peter and others around him all looked at her, then looked back, and continued their work. They all knew that Ye Wei's guidance was right, and Anna acted like a weirdo.
"Oh, but" Anna smiled bitterly in confusion, "I think I acted very well, how can I lower it?"
Janet, who was standing behind the camera, heard this and couldn't help but sigh secretly. This is Anna's biggest problem. Almost all auditions were eliminated for this reason. She didn't understand if she was asked to lower her performance. She didn't even understand the concept of performance intensity. , some children understand without being taught. Maybe this is due to their talent.
She thought it was impossible to solve it, so she could only wait for Anna to grow up and see if there was any change.
David, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and others all have the same idea. They are more curious than expected. Is there any other way?
"OK, you think you are good at acting" Ye Wei looked at her and analyzed her psychological situation. Remembering that she had said that she had taken many acting classes, she couldn't help but ask: "You learned all of them in those acting classes What? What theory? What method? "
Anna¡¯s eyes rolled up and she thought: ¡°Well, there are many, including voice, movement, psychology you have to get into the role! I don¡¯t quite remember the names of those theorists.¡±
Ye Wei asked: "Stanislavsky? Grotowski? Brecht? Peter Brook?" Anna was a little dizzy after hearing this list of names: "How many people are here? I really don't remember. "Mom, what kind of acting theory am I studying?"
"No need." Ye Wei raised his hand to stop Janet from coming over. He felt that he had found the crux of the problem. Anna had learned too much, but she was unable to have a deep understanding at her age. She only remembered a lot of superficial skills and used them in acting. I thought that would be good, but it was not as natural as a young actor who had never learned anything.
The solution is easy to say, he smiled and said: "Anna, no matter what you have learned, I want you to forget them all now! Forget the skills, forget the stage, this is not a stage, you don't have to think about how to appear on the stage, break the fourth Facing the wall and all that, that¡¯s my job, understand?¡±
cool! Darum and the others looked at each other, saying it was good to return to nature. This guy really has some skills, but does Anna understand?
Anna nodded as if she understood, and then asked: "If I forget it, how should I perform?"
"You know, the best performance is not to perform!" Ye Wei looked at the people around him, "Actually, in life, everyone is performing every day. We hide our thoughts and we want others to see what we want. Then How do you think everyone performed?"
"Really?" Anna blinked her big eyes, it seemed that she was also
"Don't think about whether a performance is a performance or whether reality is unreal, because as soon as you think about it, you are already wrong. You can't 'act' reality, just like you can't 'act' crying. Once you cry, you are really It's crying. The emotion behind it is real. When you focus on the process of experiencing emotion, you are experiencing it, not acting, and you will naturally present something real. "
Ye Wei¡¯s theoretical guidance was even more profound than before, and Anna¡¯s brows furrowed even higher.
The people around me were really confused, especially the professional college students, because even if they were told these psychological teachings to a 30-year-old or 20-year-old actor, the other party might not understand them, and they would probably just say: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just tell me what facial expressions to make. You are not a poet!"
Not every actor is Meryl Streep! Most of the time, most actors just need mechanical instructions. It doesn't matter if they can't read the script. Bella can't even read a letter, but she can still be a good actor.
Shirley Temple said that when she was a child, she didn¡¯t even understand what acting was.Acting was just walking around, smiling, and saying lines as usual. As a result, everyone said she was an excellent actor, but she didn't know, what is an actor?
This is actually the highest state of performance. Of course, no one can perform completely like that after drifting away from innocence.
Top actors often need these illusory psychological hints. If the director makes nonsense, they will gain something.
But Anna is just a little girl who has just turned 10 years old! Is it useful to tell her these emotions, realities, and experiences? Will she understand?
This is a big question mark in everyone¡¯s mind.
"Oh, not performing is the best performance" Anna thought thoughtfully, "Don't think about acting Director, what you said is so profound, but I understand it!" She grinned.
"That's right." Ye Wei also smiled. He just thought that she could understand, so he guided her like this. She needed some guidance, "Ana, you are smarter than many people think."
He looked at the people around him thoughtfully, which caused a chuckle. The college students remained skeptical. Understanding is not determined by words, but by acting.
Ye Wei continued: "But you also have to pay attention to details. Think about it, we usually don't have so many expressions, and our conversations are not as clear as lines. Maybe ten sentences will have the effect of one line. Everything in the script was polished, it wasn't real, so neither was the acting.
The 'reality' we pursue is a reality that transcends reality. It is expressed with precise details. Every look, every movement, every pause. You can neither think about it, but also find it. Remember My words: Less does not mean bad, more does not mean good, the key is accuracy! "
"I think I understand a little bit" Anna nodded repeatedly. The more she listened, the more she felt there was something different.
She has participated in so many auditions, performed in one-man shows, script excerpts, and improvisations, but no one has ever said this to her. They all regard her as a naive little girl who coaxes children to talk like that. But Verity really sees her as an actress!
This made Anna feel full of energy, and she must perform to satisfy Wei.
"Then let's do it again, don't be impatient, we have time." Ye Wei encouraged her. In fact, time is running out. Anna must seize it, otherwise the short film will be a lot worse, and it will be difficult for her performance to change "It's all Dai Qian" The casting decision of the crew of "The Trouble"
Now, under the attention of many people, Anna rehearsed again, and the results amazed Darum and others. This time her performance had fewer details, but was more natural!
"It's not enough, come down some more, do it again come down, come down again, Ana, why is your face so naughty, almost twitching, this is not a Disney children's program pay attention to your hands, yes, swing them Don¡¯t be so big now you are a little dumb, smile! I want to smile"
In rehearsal after rehearsal, Ye Wei directed and directed, constantly adjusting the intensity and details of Anna's performance, including some venomous words.
This made the college students, as well as Puton and Claire, who starred as Anna's parents, all have strange expressions on their faces. Bella even whined. If it were any other 10-year-old actor, she would probably have cried a long time ago, or would have asked the mother next to her to praise her during the rehearsal. Sentences, giving a candy, etc., but Anna didn't. She studied, worked hard, and realized it seriously, time and time again.
"If you just want to pass, that's it just now. If you want to be good, it's not enough! No one is perfect, unless it's my actor Ye Wei, do it again!"
"Okay! Hahaha, Bella, have you forgotten what I told you"
Janet and David over there couldn't help but hug each other. They were a little heartbroken and worried. They were really afraid that their daughter would suddenly break down and cry before the phone was turned on - Didn't finish reading?
