Chapter 22

David put his hands in his waist, and his restlessness and helplessness stirred in his chest.

Generally speaking, in order to get lucky, the crew will arrange a simple shot for the first scene, which means that the next shooting will be smooth. That's why they chose the play.

But it never occurred to David that the first shot was only two seconds away, and then something happened, and it was the most basic, amateur and speechless situation - the actor's focal length and focus deviated, which really made David angry.

One of the biggest differences between film, TV and drama is visual focus.

On the stage of drama, the focus of actors is always aimed at the audience. They need to release their emotions to the audience. They can even look at a specific audience to complete communication and bring visual and auditory shock.

Film and television are different, because the camera lens is constantly moving. The director wants to switch different angles, distances and positions to create a different sense of space. The color, light, scenery and characters in the lens are the means for the director to express his ideas, which is called "lens language", which means that the actor's focus should be based on the director, May be looking at the open space, may be looking at the opponent actors, may be facing the camera.

Many new actors, especially those who have been transferred from drama, will habitually look at the camera, especially the red light on the camera, which is running, to adjust their focus and rhythm. This rookie level error is not rare, but it is really helpless.

That's the mistake Langley made just now. When the camera moves, lanli's focus is attracted by the red light, and then follows the photographer's steps, which completely breaks the sense of the whole picture.

David was really angry that the first scene of the "Pacific War" was interrupted because of such a nihilistic mistake, and the good omen of a good start was that it failed. David clenched his teeth. He could teach this stupid rookie a lesson. However, he thought that this was only the first scene of starting up, and finally suppressed his anger. "Don't stare at the camera. The first rule is to be on camera, OK?" Word by word squeezed out from between the teeth, simple words but with an irresistible helplessness, as if ridiculing Lan Li's ignorance.

At the back of the cast, a lot of old people are talking to each other, with a schadenfreude smile on their faces. Whether the rookies make mistakes or the new people are taught, this is the best conversation for the cast members“ On the first day of the "Pacific War", lanli had a friendly nickname, "embarrassing rookie".

When he heard the sound of "Ka", lanli's first reaction was that he was a little confused. He stood in front of the camera with full confidence and ambition. He had fully understood the performance of the play and thought that there was no problem. He could even surprise the whole audience. But he didn't expect that he was stopped just two seconds later, just like a bang in the head, Lanli was caught off guard.

Subconsciously turning his head, lanli looked for darlin in the crowd. Didn't he just say that the medium shot turned to the long shot and the track shot? Why is it that in actual shooting, the close range turns to the medium range and the photographer shoots? He suddenly saw the photographer in his sight, and his attention was distracted. In addition, he was not familiar with the sports camera, and instinctively adjusted the focus according to the red dot, which led to the situation.

Lan Li easily saw darling, but he was talking with the people around him in a low voice. The relaxed eyebrows and the smile at the corner of his mouth didn't seem to notice anything wrong. Aware of lanli's sight, darling raised his head and glanced at it. It stopped like a feather, then he put it away. There was no extra emotion, as if lanli was just a little ant.

It's a fact that darling is the chief business of the whole crew. He is in charge of all the work behind the scenes; Lan Li is just a rookie. He has no power, no root and no base. Even his friends in the crew are very few.

Lanli doesn't know why darlin wants to set himself up, but now he finally understands what Lamy means. The crew not only has the director and producer in charge of life and death, but also has the co actors and the staff behind the scenes. The latter may not be able to decide life and death, but if they stumble over the details, it's enough to make people miserable.

Suppressing the surging emotion in his chest, lanli didn't complain to David foolishly. He nodded and frankly accepted his mistake, "sorry. I'll pay attention. " As an actor, the way to find the scene is very simple. It is the most direct and effective way to conquer the director with wonderful performance.

Re adjust your breath to avoid your mind being disturbed by the little accident just now and entering the performance state again.

From Eugene's body, lanli can't help thinking of himself in the last life. After the car accident, he woke up from a coma, but found that his body couldn't move. That kind of panic and fear was like endless free fall. Until the doctor sentenced him to death, he would be trapped in this hospital bed for the rest of his life. Turning his head, he saw the children playing in the hospital yard. They were running, laughing and frolicking wantonly. The golden sun covered everything with a thin halo, which was heartbreaking.

"Shoot!" David's voice rang again.

"In Pearl Harbor, in the Pacific Islands, in the Philippines, in the Malay Peninsula, in the Dutch East Indies..." on the radio, Churchill's speech was telling the crisis of the current war situation. The crackling sound of wood in the fireplace reflected the coldness and quietness of the room more and more. Churchill's voice without too many ups and downs added a touch of solemn and stirring. "We must recognize that, Now the situation is in danger... "

Eugene came down from the second floor, dressed in his coat. His pace slowed down. He turned his head and saw his father and brother listening carefully in the living room.

His eyes fell on his brother with admiration and longing. His straight military uniform was shining in the fire; Father took pipe, straight spine slightly bent down, face heavy, lost in thought“ Only when the United States of America and the British Empire unite against RB can we... "

The elder brother first noticed Eugene's appearance and raised his head with hesitation in his eyes. Then his father also raised his head and glanced at Eugene.

Eugene's steps were completely rigid in the same place, his relaxed shoulders strengthened, and his straight spine tried to support himself, preserving the last trace of dignity in front of his father and brother.

However, he failed. His mixed eyes were full of too much weight, and he was pressed down hard. His heart was seized firmly, and all his breath was cut off. His strong shoulder line trembled slightly, revealing a trace of sadness and pain. The persistence of the struggle did not last for long. It was smashed in less than a second, and then completely collapsed, The shivering frailty came down with despair, as if it had lost all its strength, and even the weight of a jacket could not be maintained.

The crisscross of despair and anger made Eugene's chin curve slightly tense. He was embarrassed to avoid the sight. Half of his face appeared under the light and shadow. He was calm and indifferent, but he outlined a loneliness, which slowly fainted between the sparse halos. Thick and slender eyelashes cast a shadow, gently shaking two times, and then turned into countless pieces, falling apart, long and narrow eyes with a layer of hazy sadness, like ripples quietly scattered.

Then, the father shifted his eyes and threw himself into the radio again. His brother's eyes fell on Eugene's shoulder indecisively, burning with pain.

Eugene couldn't bear the suffering any more. He left the hall quickly and walked towards the gate. His heavy steps faltered, but there was no pause. Instead, he grew faster and faster. The flames of resentment and hatred bloomed under his feet“ Bang ", the door was slammed shut, and the dull sound cut off all the emotions.

Sitting in the hall, my father couldn't help looking up, turned his head and looked in the direction of Eugene's departure.

It's over. The shooting of the play is over. It's only five to seven seconds. It's over soon. It's just a miniature of a moment. However, the set was silent. Not only David didn't speak, but also the other actors held their breath.

David's eyes burst out incredible light, it's hard to believe that just in that short five seconds, this rookie has burst out such amazing energy.

There is not a single line or even a close-up of the face. The whole shot is just the back and side face of Eugene. However, the delicate changes of the back muscles and the long and slender posture show the mixed emotions of despair, anger, sadness, pain, regret and complaint vividly, even in such a narrow window, He still shows the changes and ups and downs of emotion, but the lingering charm is far away. At last, the emotion of that side face is turbulent, which is absolutely a model of silence over sound. It seems that the trace of time staying in the facial lines can be clearly seen between the light and shadow, which makes the language lose its meaning.

He is just like the favorite of the lens. The projection of light, the capture of images, and the change of motion are perfectly and vividly presented in the camera lens. It seems that every second is endowed with meaning. It's amazing. It's amazing! This is not only a skill, but also a gift. It's like a blessing from God. It's born for the camera and live for the performance.

In five seconds, but in five seconds, the actor put all his emotions in place. David can even outline the vivid image of Eugene's whole role in his mind. His wonderful performance is really amazing.

"Card!" David finally found his own voice and ended the solidification of the whole set. The shock came like a rainstorm.
