Chapter 1076 Shooting Life(1/2)
…………
"So I think as an actor, in addition to acting and working, you should also pay attention to experiencing life. Continuous accumulation of experience can certainly enhance acting skills, but if it is just about temperament, it is more important to understand life!
"
In the evening, while drinking orange juice in the hotel, Menjie explained to Chen Chong and Tang Wei how to train their temperament and ability.
Although Menjie's temperament and ability are basically obtained from the King of Heaven System, in terms of theoretical knowledge, I am afraid that all the actors in the world combined may not be able to match Menjie.
Naturally, I was also very calm when directing Tang Wei and Chen Chong.
This kind of life has passed for half a month. After finishing the filming of the movie every night, Men Jie would get together with Tang Wei and Chen Chong and constantly teach them. Similarly, in
On the set, Chen Chong would also impart some of his acting experience to Menjie, and he was also of great help to Menjie.
However, many people can help Menjie with their acting teachings, but Menjie is the only one in the world who can help them both. Naturally, their favorability towards Menjie skyrockets. I believe that whenever Menjie needs him in the future,
When they are needed, the two of them will never shirk at all, which is also a gain for Menjie.
Of course, after all, they were all in the same crew. After half a month, everyone knew what Men Jie, Tang Wei, and Chen Chong were doing most of the time. If they were just teaching the two of them,
Obviously it would offend other people, so Menjie also intentionally invited other people.
But Menjie also knew that even if other people listened to Menjie's lectures, they would not be of any use.
Men Jie told Tang Wei and Chen Chong. Most of them were relatively high-end, B-level temperament and ability applications. Except for Men Jie and the other three, no one else in the entire crew was at this level, and even
Even the use of lower-end temperament abilities has not yet been mastered.
Many people listened for a day or two and felt that what Menjie said was of no use to them, so they were polite and stopped wasting their time on useless work.
Although director Li An knew that what Menjie said was very useful, it was of no use to him. In the end, he had no choice but to no longer participate in Menjie's "make-up class" with great regret.
Of course, Menjie's selfless teaching to Tang Wei and Tang Wei also greatly increased Li An's favorable impression of Menjie. He felt that Menjie was a very good person to his friends, so he was naturally willing to have a close friendship with Menjie.
"The most outstanding actor has more than one temperament and ability. In addition to the initial temperament, these abilities are acquired after experiencing life. Just like when I play the emperor or the boss, I am more majestic.
Performance is learned through the accumulation of life. I think Sister Chen Chong also knows something about this!"
"indeed!"
Seeing Menjie looking at him, Chen Chong nodded directly and said, "It was when I was working hard abroad that I realized some abilities in this area, which can be regarded as a step earlier than Tang Wei. My understanding of life is indeed very good.
Just like a truly outstanding singer, in addition to singing skills, emotional integration is equally important!"
He nodded slightly. Although Tang Wei on the side felt a little confused about understanding, he still believed Menjie and the others, feeling that Menjie and Menjie would never deceive him.
Of course, although they could not fully understand it, Tang Wei and Chen Chong did not write down Menjie's teachings in their notebooks, or record them for review. In fact, they had already learned about Menjie's temperament and abilities as early as when they were taught them.
They mentioned that they were not allowed to record or take notes. If you have any questions, just ask. Even after the filming of the movie "Lust, Caution" is completed, the two of them can call themselves and ask."
Naturally, the two of them would not violate Menjie's modest request.
"Okay, we've talked a lot today. You can go back and think about it for a while and then rest!"
Finally, Menjie looked at his watch and saw that it was already 22 o'clock. Then he patted the two of them on the shoulders and said softly, "I'm going to play some games!"
Although when filming movies in China, most of the time, actors are required to work overtime all night long. Usually in order to finish the movie as soon as possible, they will have free time to participate in other activities to make money, so the actors will happily accept it.
But Li An, who has a strong American director style, still maintains the style he had when he was filming movies in the United States. The crew finished work around five or six o'clock, so Menjie and others had enough rest to teach.
time.
"You have a really leisurely day. You play games every day when you have nothing to do. I really didn't realize that a nationally rich man is so idle every day!"
Seeing Menjie turn on the computer, obviously really planning to play games, Chen Chong on the side murmured with great envy.
Menjie originally didn't like playing computer games, but since he received the 'God of War's Blessing', he looks like he has too much energy every day. He is bored and can only play games.
However, playing like this makes many people extremely envious.
The entire crew is as leisurely as Menjie every day, and there really isn't even one person there!
The minor characters in the movie "Lust, Caution" work hard on their scripts every day. If they really have free time, they will do whatever they can in the crew, hoping to let director Li Chen see their own.
Work hard and take care of yourself.
For example, Wang Lihong, the second male lead, may also feel that his acting skills are not very good, so he consults some veteran actors every day on acting skills. Even Men Jie has been consulted by him many times, and the effect is relatively good, and Wang Lihong is also
Lihong focuses on.
As for Chen Chong, she is either learning the use of temperament and ability around Menjie every day, or she is following Li An and learning his directing skills. She is in her forties and is still enriching herself every day.
.
And the busiest among the entire crew may be the heroine Tang Wei!
It's just like what director Li An said when he chatted with Menjie again before.
In the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" he once directed, in addition to Zhang Ziyi, there are also Zhou Runfa and Michelle Yeoh sharing the role with her, but in "Lust, Caution" the most important thing is the heroine
, relying on the heroine to carry the drama alone.
Not to mention the inferior Men Jie. Even Liang Chaowei, the male protagonist in the original movie, from a certain point of view, was just working for Tang Wei!
In the whole movie, the most outstanding one is Tang Wei!
In the movie "Lust, Caution", from the age of 19 to 23, she is an innocent girl at first. After a few years of experience, she becomes gorgeous and mature. Coupled with the cheongsam, it adds an extraordinary allure. For the heroine
Appearance, temperament, and acting skills are all very demanding. Those who are too old cannot act, those who are too immature cannot act, those who are not good-looking cannot act, and those whose acting skills are too poor cannot act...
Under so many demands, most of the actresses were eventually eliminated, and Tang Wei finally succeeded in rising to prominence.
It may also be because of the extremely excessive requirements, which also indicates that in the movie "Lust, Caution", Tang Wei is the well-deserved number one character!
Although when watching the movie "Lust, Caution", I also felt that Liang Chaowei was very outstanding. But no matter when watching the movie, everyone will feel that Tang Wei is better. In the future, it is not said that Tang Wei will reach the same level as Liang Chaowei.
, it’s just that when Tang Wei was quite famous, when people mentioned this movie, they would also call it ‘Tang Wei’s “Lust, Caution”’ instead of Liang Chaowei’s “Lust, Caution”!
Even with Tony Leung's extremely powerful acting skills, he has become a supporting role for Tang Wei, let alone Menjie. Although his performance is equally outstanding, he cannot reverse the entire script and make a movie carried by the heroine.
Is it going to be a movie that highlights yourself?
In the entire movie, Tang Wei is present in almost 80% of the shots, just like the movie "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" that Menjie previously participated in. Regardless of whether he is an actor or an actress, there is only one person who stands out the most.
It is precisely because of this that, with Tang Wei taking the lead, Menjie, who does not have many scenes every day, spends most of his time just pretending to be soy sauce.
Anyway, there is nothing to do during this period, and Menjie is not in a hurry to leave. He just happens to be working on the set every day and improving his acting skills.
Menjie's acting skills have already reached the A-level level, and the acting proficiency marked on the back has already exceeded half. Menjie has been waiting, waiting for his acting skills to reach the 'A-level 499/500'
level, when the time comes, use the 'graded temperament and ability application training' to allow your acting skills to break through to the A+ level, and the success rate when breaking through from the A+ level to the S- level in the future can be increased.
When Menjie's acting skills reach A+ level, let alone an ordinary actor, I am afraid that even a top actor may not be more powerful than Menjie!
After all, at that time, Menjie will have top temperament and ability!
In the whole of China, the only ones who possess the 'top temperament and ability' are Fang Chenglong, Zhou Xingchi, and Zhou Runfa, who have the title of 'one in two'.
Of course, although Menjie cannot surpass the three of them after mastering the 'top temperament ability', under the three of them, I am afraid that no one can say that he can definitely beat him. At that time, Menjie will be an extremely noble existence.
.
With more practice, maybe the title of China's top actor can be changed to "One becomes a hero every two weeks."
Just thinking about it for a moment made Menjie feel like he couldn't stop!
"What are you thinking about? You look like you're drooling. Are you thinking about women?"
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Men Jie looking like he was drooling. Chen Chong and Chen Chong couldn't help but start teasing him.
One of these two people was fourteen years older than me, and the other was six years older than me. After getting to know each other, they joked even more unscrupulously.
"I just miss women, how about it? Maybe one day my confidante will come to visit me! If you are envious, just ask a man to come and visit me!"
Menjie snorted softly. After being used to making jokes, Menjie didn't show any weakness at all and directly counterattacked.
"Peter has been busy with work recently, so he made an appointment with me to come and see me in a while!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Chong said with a "I don't care" look, "How about it? How about we each bring a companion to have a meal together later?"
Peter is Chen Chong's husband and a surgeon. When Chen Chong occasionally mentions him, he looks very proud. Even Menjie has to admit that he is indeed a good man.
Chen Chong once filmed a fruit scene, which may be a factor that may destabilize marriages for many female artists.
In life, some people around Peter may also ridicule him maliciously, saying things like, "Your wife's fruit scene is great."
At this time, Peter would also be very graceful and not pursue anything. Instead, he would directly fight back to the people around him by saying, "She is better at home." He fully protected his wife's face and treated her well.
He is also very attentive and loving.
"I forgot about it!"
Before Menjie could say anything, Tang Wei shook his head, a lonely look flashing in his eyes.
She has a boyfriend, and both Men and Jie know it, but it is said that they have had some conflicts recently.
You don't need to think about it to know that it was because Tang Wei finally decided to participate in the movie "Lust, Caution".
Not every man can accept such a thing like Chen Chong's husband.
"Tang Wei and I, as well as Chen Chong and Peter, the four of us together can form a mahjong table, so I won't bring anyone here, haha!"
Menjie also smiled awkwardly, but he did not dare to mention this issue.
To be continued...
