Chapter 45: The Three Forms of Performance
In response to this, Cai Jiaguan had made personal information for Chu Yue before, pondered for a moment, and soon laughed: "In the past, he advocated Western films and Western stars. Now it is a personality era. You don't have to like those Hollywood stars! However, you must pay attention to some things. If you memorize the information, the information in the future will be your information!"
Chu Yue was immediately amazed and cried. Unexpectedly, just being an artist would have so many big troubles. He even had to write information back to others for himself. Of course, there was no question of fabrication. For example, he didn't need to hide his age, and Libra signs didn't need to hide it, but what he liked to do most often is to increase the number of things he seemed to have a lot of temperament from playing football and listening to music!
Next, Cai Jiaguan explained how to deal with reporters and how to avoid falling into the language trap of reporters, and not being too stupid. According to Cai Jiaguan, there was a newcomer who had not debuted for too long. After getting the guidance of his agent, he met the reporter. He didn't dare to say anything, but just kept saying: "I don't know this, I'll ask the agent!" This incompetent answer quickly turned the classmate into a meteor.
"When dealing with reporters, the most important thing to be careful about is not that they ask you in a roundabout way or tactful way, but that they ask you nakedly! Many people ask the same question!" Cai Jiaguan thought about it and taught Chu Yue some interesting things again: "Faced with so many media, it is difficult for old men to defend their psychology, and they have to disclose it. Moreover, this can easily anger you, and they have something to write about it. If you hit someone, it is what they hope!"
Chu Yue didn't know if Cai Jiaguan's description of the reporter was true, but he still remembered it firmly. These are all experiences! Although Cai Jiaguan's reputation in the circle is really not very good, his rich experience in these aspects can indeed help newcomers a lot.
"When I participated in the premiere of "Shapo Wolf", I found that you didn't know much about POSE and position when taking photos!" Cai Jiaguan roughly gestured, then walked around and simulated the scene when taking photos: "You are a newcomer, and the company doesn't value you very much, so you can't afford to offend anyone, even if you are just a second-tier star. So, when taking photos with others, don't steal their shots, otherwise there will be trouble!"
In fact, Cai Jiaguan's eye-catching shots are mostly not very popular, and they are not very popular when they are with front-line artists. Chu Yue, who is as stable as a big star like Huazai and Weizai, can never steal their limelight, unless he is more popular than them.
To be honest, after Chu Yue understood these inside stories, he also thought it was actually quite interesting. Cai Jiaguan glanced at him and said, "I will tell you the last point today. Although the local entertainment industry is not as good as before, it still has a certain influence in the mainland and Taiwan. I roughly checked the mainland newspapers, and the main voices mentioned that you performed very well in "Sha Po Lang".
"So, you are now in the mainland and Taiwan. As long as you have a few more good shows, you will become famous! However, the best way is to play the page locally." Cai Jiaguan looked at Chu Yue who opened his mouth and yawned, wishing he could slap this absent-minded guy to death. Unfortunately, he knew that Chu Yue had practiced: "I heard that you have an effective massage technique, which can use this technique to get close to actresses and let the paparazzi sing you, so that you can appear on the page for a long time!"
Chu Yue was slightly stunned and suddenly felt very contemptuous. Unexpectedly, Cai Jiaguan's character was really not very good. He could even teach such a method. If he really did that, he would definitely be able to occupy the page, but as long as he was seen through such an effort, his reputation would be over. However, Cai Jiaguan could not command Chu Yue in such a thing. As long as Chu Yue was unwilling to do it, who could force him!
Of course, there are still many taboos and precautions in the circle. Cai Jiaguan couldn't tell Chu Yue all of them for a while, and he could only hope to talk about them later in the future!
On this day, Chu Yue finally started to take acting classes. He was neither a professional or a genius. If he wanted to make a living by acting, his acting skills must exist.
Chu Yue studied acting at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. Huang Qiusheng graduated here at that time. Not only did he play actors, but he also produced directors and producers. Here, it is not like playing dogs and trees in the legendary wireless training class. The teacher told Chu Yue a lot of performance theory knowledge as soon as he came!
After understanding this knowledge and removing the nonsense, Chu Yue understood one thing: performance is not as easy as imagined, nor is it enough to treat performance as a mask disguised in life.
The difference between performance lies in the three forms of movies and TV, as well as the stage. The three forms of performance methods are different. The TV series itself is very long and does not require much cameras. Unlike movies, a minute of scenes may have to be divided into N shots, but one shot is transparent to the end. Therefore, the performance of a TV series cannot be said to be too big of acting, and it may not even require acting skills.
Stage performances are different. In fact, stage performances can not only be regarded as a performance of real stage dramas, but also various programs on TV, such as variety shows. In order to attract the audience's focus, this type of performance must be full of focus, and requires that the performance be relaxed and performed in bold and exaggerated form. Of course, it is not easy to do this type of performance well.
The third form is the performance of the movie. The movie itself is a very intensive performance. It is likely that you have to NG countless shots in the day to choose the best or most suitable one. This selectivity can easily make the actors show their acting skills on the screen higher than those on TV series and stage. Moreover, because the shooting is never coherent, most of them are shots of shots or scenes, which requires extremely high performances on the actors.
If you can try to express the three forms of performance in non-insulting language, then it is actually very easy to act in a TV series, and it is completely perfunctory to be careless. On stage performances need to be a lot of attention. Whether on the show or on the real stage, performance is a continuous way and the requirements are extremely high.
As for movie performances, it may not be much more difficult than stage performances, but like stage performances, it is never easy to do well. It is as if people who can enter Broadway in the United States represent identity and glory. If you want to do a good job in movie performances, you must have your own things!
"It seems difficult to act, but this is even more interesting..." Chu Yue flipped "Actor's Self-cultivation" and rushed to Ah Hao, who was eating snacks and watching TV: "What do you think is acting?"
"What is acting?" Ah Hao repeated a daze, frowned hard and thought for a long time, and hesitated: "Liang Jiahui's funny in "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose", Zhou Xingchi's persistence in "Shaolin Football"... I think these are all acting skills!"
Chu Yue was stunned. When he mentioned Liang Jiahui's "Ninety-Two Black Rose vs. Black Rose", he remembered the sarcastic "Little Baby Eating" and all the performances Liang Jiahui in the play.
His eyes suddenly lit up. This is acting. No matter what kind of performance it is, as long as people can remember their performances, even when they can even think of this drama many years later, that is acting!
Since he is a professional actor for the time being, he has to do better than he is now. He will not win the Best Actor in two years, but it may be possible to compete for the Best Supporting Actor, and it may be good to be shortlisted!
"You lack the form and experience of basic performance. Before you learn to act, you must understand what acting is." This is what the performance teacher said to him in class today. The whole sentence means that Chu Yue lacks enough performance experience and camera experience, which are irreparable shortcomings.
He does not have the advantage of being a professional, so he cannot have a solid performance foundation like the actors like Fa Ge and Wei Zai, so his performance level is erratic. He does not perform well enough in "The Underworld", but is unexpectedly exciting in "Shapolang"!
He lacks enough studio experience, so don't think that studio experience is just a position and move, etc., which is related to the sense of the camera. What is the sense of the camera? The sense of the camera is an indescribable feeling. If the acting superstars like Liang Chaowei face the camera, they will not only be able to get into the role immediately, but also perform at an instant level. The sense of the camera may also be called the most appropriate way for an actor to act in what way and how to face the camera.
These two points are irreparable weaknesses. He will have to spend more time thinking about performances than other professional actors and need more experience in performing on the set.
Tired! This is the deep impression of Chu Yue over the past few days. He has to learn performances, learn this and that every day, and be fiddled with by stylists, constantly changing into new styles, which makes him feel that his hair is going to be poisoned by those toxic cosmetics!
However, it is impossible to admit that professional stylists have professional skills. This time they changed their style. Chu Yue changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room. Cai Jiaguan was stunned. Is this guy in front of him still the guy on weekdays?
After putting on makeup, Chu Yue walked out casually and reached out to the female stylist who was around thirty years old in front of him: "Madam, can you dance with me?"
The female stylist was stunned and immediately applauded, but not for Chu Yue's invitation or something, but for her own success. She finally succeeded, how rare. After observing Chu Yue's appearance and temperament, she didn't even succeed in trying several styles. Unexpectedly, this high-level gentlemanly style in front of her was actually suitable for Chu Yue. Looking at the smile that was enough to touch anyone, she understood all this.
