Chapter 134 Relaxation

Ge You and Lin Zixuan talked a lot about their experiences in watching "Living", which was when they were awake.

They drank a little too much that night, and Lin Zixuan was complained by Mu Shanshan when he returned. It is best to have a moderate amount of wine, which can help you entertain it. If you overdose, you will easily get into trouble. It is not a good habit to drink.

The old man of the Ge You family is a film performing artist, and can be said to be from an artistic family.

However, when he was a child, he was afraid of having sex and didn't like to perform on stage. This habit has been around until now. When there are too many people, he will be very quiet. He hides aside and doesn't talk. Only when he is a very familiar person can he chat.

This is why he is unwilling to appear on the Spring Festival Gala. When facing the audience in the audience, he was still live broadcasting and was so scared.

However, Ge You later embarked on the road of performance. With the influence of his family and so many years of career as a supporting actor, he formed his own performance style.

When filming "The Stubborn Lord", Mi Jiashan said that Ge You's performance was particularly relaxed and natural.

Relaxation and moderation are the basic skills of an actor.

During the actor's performance, exerting too much force will give people an exaggerated feeling. For example, there is a Roaring Emperor in Baodao's love TV series, which is the best interpretation of exerting too much force.

Inadequate strength will make the audience feel that they are not explosive, too soft and not outstanding.

Slackness is a perfect state. The audience feels comfortable to watch and feels that the actors are natural and not artificial.

Although Ge You has not learned acting seriously, he has his own opinions on shaping characters. Because his appearance is not very good, he pays more attention to expressing the characters' psychology, which is a method of expressing from the inside out.

The ability to do this is related to his usual thinking.

When he meets a character, he will think about the character's psychological state, what reaction he should react when encountering something, what words he says, what tone he speaks, what kind of mantras and small actions he has.

In the actor industry, this is doing homework. Only when you do your homework well can you perform with ease and relaxation.

This time, he felt unsure.

The story of "Living" is too heavy, and Fugui is too contrasted with the role he played before.

Ge You played the role in the past either stealing, unjustly gangsters, or unreliable literary youth. This is the first time he played a character with such a complex personality, which is a great challenge for him.

When he first watched "Living", he felt confident because he didn't read it deeply and didn't get into it.

With the exchanges with Zhang Yimou, he also read the movie script that was still being created. Only then did he realize that he was thinking lightly and did not grasp the essence of this character.

Fugui was originally an optimistic person, but the suffering of life caused him to suffer repeated blows, so he could not be optimistic.

In the end, the elderly Fugui lived alone with a cow. After savoring the ups and downs of life, he still faced life directly. He felt that nothing more important than living itself.

It seems very simple to say, there are several levels here.

Fugui was born into a landlord family and was rich since childhood. This is the most superficial optimism. He lost all his family property by gambling and was arrested for strong men. After returning, his mother died. This is the first level of pessimism.

His wife did not leave him and had two children, which made Fugui continue to be optimistic and thought that a good life was about to begin. However, the child and his wife died one after another, which was the second level of pessimism.

Although the child died, with his grandson, Fugui saw hope again, but he did not expect that his grandson would die later.

This is a deeper pessimism. After that, the only one is blessed and noble without sorrow or joy, and just thinking about living.

From optimism to pessimism to repetition, every time we go deeper, this optimism and pessimism intensifies.

It is very difficult to perform these layers of life state and level. It is necessary to let the audience see that each layer of optimism and pessimism are different.

This is not just joy and sorrow, but to perform a different artistic conception of laughter and crying every time the characters laugh and cry.

In comparison, the final state of Fugui is the most difficult to interpret. The kind of life without sorrow or joy, great enlightenment, or chaotic life may be the true meaning of life.

"Youzi, if you play this role well, you can remove the first two words "comedian" in the future. You are an actor." Feng Xiaogang said.

Ge You knew that the opportunity was rare, not only an opportunity to participate in such a big production, but also an opportunity to break through himself.

As long as he can figure out this character thoroughly and perform well, he will have a place among Chinese actors.

In this era, actors in the entertainment industry admire the older generation of performing artists and want to become artists. Even a top-line Chinese actor like Jiang Wen dare not call himself an artist.

At this time, the artist was still a very valuable title.

Ge You also wanted to hang out toward artists. This time, participating in the performance of "Living" is the first step to becoming an "artist".

Lin Zixuan doesn't know how to perform, so he can only help Ge You analyze the characters, but the novels are different from movies.

He met Zhang Yimou and talked about scripts.

In order for the film to pass the review and the audience to accept it, Zhang Yimou made a lot of adaptations of the novel, which did not accidentally kill all the relatives around Fugui, but left Fugui's wife, grandson and others.

This is equivalent to leaving hope for Fugui and weakening the original tragic color of the novel.

In Lin Zixuan's opinion, the current movie scripts and novels are already two different things. Zhang Yimou just adopted the structure of this story, added irony and absurd elements, and turned into something of his own.

Lin Zixuan doesn’t like to comment on the quality of the two, and can only say that the one that suits them is the best.

Novels and movies are two different carriers. They may be adapted into TV series or stage plays in the future. The plot will be different. As long as they can gain the recognition of the audience, they are good works.

Ge You carefully recorded Lin Zixuan's character analysis, and he would absorb opinions from all parties and integrate them with his own performance.

After chatting with Ge You, Lin Zixuan also had to arrange his sister's affairs.

Since Lin Xiaoling is going to apply for the directorship department of Beijing Film Academy, she cannot repeat the study normally. Instead, she should focus on self-study and watch more movie books and some foreign classic movies.

This time, Lin Zixuan brought back a lot of movie books and videotapes from the United States, all of which were prepared for his sister.

In addition, the Film Academy pays more attention to the ability of hands-on practice and independent thinking for directors.

He will arrange Lin Xiaoling into the crew, start with the most ordinary drama business, be familiar with the industry, and if you have any ideas, you can also try shooting something.

Only in this way can you be admitted to the director department.

After two months of leisurely vacation, Xiaoling's days of pain and happiness are coming. (To be continued.)
