Chapter 10 Obviously, you are not

"Why no one asks me to act? I like acting too!" A sad voice rang in the room, and Long Jiahao complained to Chu Yue in the bedroom with depression!

"You should be a promising profession as a screenwriter. You have nothing to do to be an actor!" Chu Yue smiled and teased Long Jiahao, deliberately raised his backbone and said, "Don't you know that only a genius from a hundred can act?"

"It's obvious that I am the one in a hundred!" Long Jiahao walked forward a few steps, waved his fists, and looked confident.

Chu Yue's finger suddenly moved, and a cigarette was thrown into Long Jiahao's mouth. However, Long Jiahao couldn't open his mouth and was hit by the cigarette. Chu Yue spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's obvious that you are not!"

The shooting progress is still satisfactory. After more than a month, there are not many unfinished scenes left. Just add a little more effort and the actual shooting of this scene will be completed and will be turned into post-production.

There is no notice today due to the weather and actor schedule. If it only refers to Chu Yue's identity as an actor, he will definitely not have any show every day. But he is still a makeup artist and is always responsible for makeup on weekdays, so they usually have to be present as long as there is a shooting.

Think about it, it is not easy for the staff behind the scenes. At least the actors can get time and space for rest because of the scenes. The staff behind the scenes are different. As long as there are actors performing, they must continue to work. Usually, they may not have much rest time after filming a play from scratch.

"Yes, there is no work today, what do you want to do?" Chu Yue rolled his eyes and looked at Long Jiahao who was slimming on the sofa with a smile: "Don't tell me, you're still writing scripts at home!"

"Otherwise, I can do something else? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, nor so persistent!" Long Jiahao curled his lips disdainfully, as if Chu Yue was the persistent person: "By the way, I suddenly had a new idea today, a story about defending the city in ancient wars!" In his eyes, Chu Yue had a very profound knowledge, and he didn't know how that kid practiced it.

"There are many such themes in history, such as the Battle of Xiangyang that lasted for many years during the Mongolian occupation of the Southern Song Dynasty! There were also ten days after the Qing soldiers entered the pass!" Chu Yue did not move, and thought for a moment and gave suggestions on the theme of the story: "However, I don't think Hong Kong has the ability to shoot such cold weapons war movies!"

Chu Yue has always admired Long Jiahao's screenwriter skills, especially in terms of themes such as action police and gangsters. This guy is obviously very good at. From Chu Yue's perspective, as long as he takes time, Long Jiahao will definitely shine in this regard.

Long Jiahao immediately looked extremely frustrated, and his straight body slid on the sofa, curled up in a ball and muttered. He also knew very well that Hong Kong could not shoot such a cold weapon war, and he had never had it in his impression. Moreover, there was probably no director who could control such a huge scene, and it was even less likely that any company would invest such a huge amount of money to shoot such a film.

Chu Yue was thinking about other things. In fact, there is something to do with such subjects, but almost no one in Hong Kong dared to shoot them. The key to such subjects is still in the mainland. However, there is a huge problem in them. Whether it is the ten-day Yangzhou or the battle in Xiangyang that year, eight out of ten cannot pass the review of the Mainland Film Bureau. Only one reason is enough: undermining national unity and slandering China's unity!

When it comes to the censorship of the Film Bureau, Chu Yue remembered Du Qifeng's swearing that day, and it was the Film Bureau that he scolded him. Adu's "Big Man" (the mainland name "Big Man Has Great Wisdom") was cut into pieces in the mainland and became a standard bad movie. The innocent Adu was scolded by mainland audiences.

It is precisely such a movie "The Big Man" that was sprayed into the king of bad movies by billions of mouthfuls in the mainland, but it won the Best Picture Award at the Asian Top Film Awards. How could Adu, who became an innocent and unlucky man under the Deadly Scissors of the Film Bureau, not angry, especially after he learned about the mainland audience's views on the play, he asked his friend to bring the mainland version to enjoy, and after appreciating it, he was even more furious.

The only luck is that although Adu is a very famous bomber in the Hong Kong film industry, he does not dare to publicly scold the film bureau, so as not to be banned like Chen Kexin, who filmed "The Golden Rooster" at the same time. However, in private, his anger can be imagined.

However, no matter how angry he was, he had to make some compromises in the face of more than one billion viewers in the mainland. This time, his "March of the World" was planned to be cut into two episodes, and he also filmed some content that catered to the Film Bureau. The most typical example is the extremely mentally retarded plot where Jimmy claimed to be undercover next to Uncle Long Gen, which was filmed separately to fool the Film Bureau.

Although Du Qifeng never mentioned his own ideas, Chu Yue could think a little about it. This play is divided into two episodes. The first episode itself has little meaning to allude real politics, and it is more about concentrating on Hong Kong. In the next episode, it is a very spicy irony that nakedly suggests mainland politics. This can be deeply felt in the lines of the film.

Interestingly, the mentally retarded plots prepared by Du Qifeng for the Film Bureau are concentrated in the previous episode, which means that he does not intend to let the next episode be released in the mainland. However, the following episodes are extremely bitter ridicule, and it is absolutely impossible to be released in the mainland. Recently, he told reporters that he had never considered the release of this drama in the mainland, and it was simply venting his anger.

Chu Yue even doubted whether Adu had such anger because of the castration of "The Big Man", and continued his anger in his works, trying to convey his anger through his works.

Although Chu Yue is not a professional veteran, his ability to appreciate movies is definitely not a boast. He was filming in the mainland and also enjoyed the version of "The Big Man" in the mainland. Although it was just a castrated version, he was one of the few who appreciated the exquisiteness of it.

This time, although the "March of the World" film has not yet been released, Chu Yue, based on his usual directorial skills of Du Qifeng, and his application in light and photography, realized that this drama was quite different from Adu's previous works. If he expected it was right, this drama would definitely become a classic.

It is a huge regret that such classics cannot be released in the mainland. However, it is not only Adu encountered such things. Other directors also have such things. Usually, only Yindu Films have certain privileges.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue couldn't help but shook his head slowly and sighed. Thinking from any angle, he could not help but admit that Hong Kong movies have reached a desolate situation before them, and the film censorship system in the mainland is also one of the driving factors.

Suddenly, he smiled sarcastically, what does this have to do with him? For Hong Kong movies and the entertainment industry, he is just a hurry passerby. Although Hong Kong movies are indeed very sad that he has always been obsessed with Hong Kong movies, the arrival of some things is inevitable.

After thinking for a while, he ignored Long Jiahao, who was busy writing scripts in the bedroom, ran to the supermarket to buy a large bag of daily necessities and came back. When everything was done, he came to the mirror in the bedroom and kept making various expressions in front of the mirror.

This is the performance tips provided by Liang Jiahui to Chu Yue. If you want your facial expressions and eyes to show the effect you want, you must clearly understand what the expression you make every time. Then, when performing on the set, you can easily capture and simulate your performance in the camera.

I have to admit that although this trick is extremely simple, it is very effective. In fact, it is just like my voice is different from the one released from the tape recorder. If my self-righteous performance falls into other people's eyes, it may not be like the understanding I imagined.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue couldn't help but think of a personal experience that Ren Dasha told him. It was a scene when Ren Dasha was filming "Dance Man". The director asked him to smile happily, but he NG several scenes in succession, just because his smile was a cunning smile in the eyes of the director and others, rather than the happy smile that Ren Dasha thought was self-righteous!

Chu Yue has always been a very dedicated person. Whether he worked at McDonald's during his school days or later in college to work in some companies, he always tried his best to do his job. Therefore, although he did not have a long-term plan to act, since he was doing it now, he must do his best. Besides, he didn't want the smile he performed by himself to turn into a lewd smile...

What is performance? According to Stanislavsky, it is emotion or emotion conveying from the outside, or from the inside out. Chu Yue has read this master's "The Self-cultivation of Actors" (Sanchi Khan), and he agrees deeply about it. The so-called performance is actually the transmission and presentation of emotions or emotions. No matter what way it is, as long as it can be conveyed and presented to the audience, it is successful!

How do emotions and emotions come about? This depends on the person who is involved in his own mastery, or rather, it is the mobilization of his own emotions. If the performance process is divided into two levels, then mobilizing emotions and emotions is the content, while presenting and conveying is the way!

In the simplest way, emotions and emotions are the food on the table, and presentation and transmission are the mouth. No matter how the food is made or whether it is delicious, it will eventually have to pass through the mouth to enter the stomach and must not be brought into the ears and noses.

This is Chu Yue’s understanding, which is not very unique. However, after straightening out the ideas, it will help him understand the levels of performance step by step and help him make a richer performance.

He was making an expression in front of the mirror, but the phone suddenly rang. Chu Yue frowned. He didn't like being disturbed at work. He took the phone and a hoarse female voice came: "A Yue, you haven't been here for a long time..."

****

Of course, it’s not that I chose the wrong choice, even if I chose the wrong choice, I can modify it! You might as well guess it’s a bit more absurd. I will announce this ridiculous and depressing answer on Monday!
Chapter completed!
