Chapter 187 The Vicious Female Supporting Woman Went to Start a Career 35
Chapter 187 The vicious female supporting character went to pursue a career 35
He Mi is really curious. There are many directors who are good at making interstellar movies, and there are countless directors who are better than Wushuang in their shooting skills.
But no film made by a director can have such a powerful appeal.
Regarding this question, Miao Wushuang smiled and said: "The ability to make such a good film is the result of the hard work of all the actors, not my personal credit.
As for why it can arouse people's emotional appeal, it should be because the actors are in the play and feel their true feelings.
In the whole scene I filmed, I did not use any AI technology at all. All the emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy were performed by the actors themselves.
Before the audience is moved, the actor is moved first. Before the audience cries for the character, the actor is also the one who cries first.
I feel that if a play cannot even empathize with the characters, cry for the characters and laugh for the characters, how can it move those who watch it?"
The barrage immediately flew up.
"That's right. If the actors don't get involved in the play, how can they move the audience?"
"Good Chinese directors have taught good Chinese actors. Directors should be so serious and actors should be so responsible. Only in this way can they be considered qualified directors and actors.
I really like the crew of "Across the Republic of China", from the director to the actors, everyone."
At the central entertainment backstage, the staff who had been following the barrage in real time all nodded in agreement. They also had the same idea as these netizens.
In the studio, Wu Shuang smiled as he looked at the actors and said, "I am very strict on set and often drive these actors to collapse. If you don't believe me, just ask them."
Wushuang turned the topic to Zhuo Shuilai and others in just a few words. She was just a director, and it was useless to be famous. In such interviews, it was better for the actors to show their faces more.
"Then let me ask some of the leading actors to share with you how strict Director Miao was when he was filming. Of course, you can also complain about it."
He Mi also took the opportunity to transfer the topic to Zhuo Shuilai and others, but secretly sighed that Wushuang, a new director, was amazing.
This is still a student, but his mentality is already so sophisticated. He knows how to train actors, how to praise them, and how to give in appropriately without being in the limelight. This is the mentality of a director who has been famous for a long time.
It’s no wonder that such a hit drama as “Traveling Through the Republic of China” can be made. Geniuses are indeed different, in every aspect.
As the female lead in this drama with a female protagonist, Zhuo Shuilai was naturally the first to speak.
Zhuo Shuilai raised his hand and touched the hidden microphone next to his ear, and said, "When it comes to this, we have a lot of say.
At that time, Director Miao told us that the scenes she was going to shoot would be very hard and asked all of us to be prepared.
Then Director Miao specially built a film and television city in the style of the Republic of China, and asked all of us participating actors not to use any high technology.
We lived in the film and television city the way people lived in the Republic of China for two months and had an immersive experience so that we could enter the scene as quickly as possible when filming.
During this period, Director Miao also specially made a holographic video for us to popularize the history of the Republic of China.
The Republic of China was really cruel. When we actors watched it, we cried every time. Before filming even started, we began to sympathize with the heroes of that era.
After we finish the make-up lessons, we will conduct acting training, etiquette training, and then script reading. Only after all these preliminary preparations are completed can we start filming."
When Zhuo Shuilai said this, he looked at Hong Manying and said, "I remember that during the etiquette training, Manying was the most difficult. As for Man Yao's walking style, the director has been teaching you for a long time."
Zhuo Shuilai was talking to Hong Manying, and Hong Manying immediately picked it up and said, "Yes, Director Miao taught me Man Yao's walking style, just how to twist her waist, for several days.
The twist should not be too exaggerated or frivolous, nor should the twist be too small or too petty. It should be just right so that you can show all kinds of charming charm.
But I was okay with this. When Mu Yuansheng played Dong Jingyu, the etiquette and demeanor of the young master from an aristocratic family was the most difficult. Director Miao watched him and practiced it countless times.
One day, he was caught by Director Miao and practiced gentlemanly etiquette for a whole day, and his legs were shaking after the practice."
Hong Manying's tone was a bit teasing, and Mu Yuansheng took advantage of the situation and responded with a smile: "Who told us, Director Miao, to be strict? All participating actors, including extras, must join the group in advance to hone their acting skills.
Everyone is very dedicated and works hard to practice. As a grown man, I naturally cannot be lazy."
As he spoke, Mu Yuansheng looked at the supporting actors on Qi Xiaoman's side who had less roles, and said, "I remember when Qi Xiaoman was filming, he practiced a dancing scene dozens of times in advance. He was very dedicated."
After being told by Mu Yuansheng, Qi Xiaoman also seized the opportunity and said: "Actually, it's because I like this drama so much. I want to act well, so I practice more without realizing it, and I don't feel it's hard anymore.
In fact, the most tiring people on the set are Director Miao and Teacher Zhuo, because the ones with the best acting skills are Teacher Zhuo and Director Miao.
Our acting skills are very bad, but Teacher Zhuo and Director Miao taught us how to act together, and they were very patient. I feel that my acting skills are improving by leaps and bounds every day."
Lively discussion on the barrage:
"Is it so strict? Is it true?"
"It should be true. Didn't you notice when you watched the show? Even the passers-by on the background were acted very realistically."
"I can testify that I was an extra in this drama, and Director Miao was really, really strict when filming.
Our extras were all recruited in advance, and we lived in the film and television city in the first two months, and were given 1,000 interstellar coins every day.
But the money is not free, our group members also need to train in advance. Although the price is twice that of other crews, it is really not worth it at all.
Not only are our extras unable to perform, but so are the leading actors. If Director Miao is not satisfied with a scene, he has to reshoot it hundreds of times before he is willing to do it. That is absolutely unambiguous.
Really, none of the performances you are seeing are AI-powered, they are all performed by the actors themselves. I would say that for such a serious crew, it is normal for them to be angry. If they are not angry, it is unacceptable."
"I am also an extra. I play the role of the proprietress on the backdrop. I also have a very nice cheongsam.
Although it was a bit more tiring than other crews, I still liked the atmosphere of the crew of "Traveling to the Republic of China".
The relationship between the actors is very good, and there is no intrigue or pulling each other down. Everyone just opens their eyes to ponder the script, interact with each other, and sleep with their eyes closed."
"Isn't it so harmonious? But when I saw them interviewing each other and exchanging words, no one was left out in the cold. It was obvious that they had a good relationship. It's different from other production crews who vaguely neglected supporting actors in their interviews."
"Only in this way can a crew that does not make trouble and concentrates on filming can produce such a good-looking drama as "Traveling Through the Republic of China".
Other top-notch crews should really learn from Director Miao and others, stop focusing on the right thing and think more about filming, why do bad dramas appear so frequently."
