On this afternoon, Yang Xi was sent to stay by Chen Guang's side as usual.
The job that Big Beard Deng had arranged for him was to give Chen Guang a comprehensive explanation of what actors needed to pay attention to during filming.
But in the end, Yang Xi held a pen and paper, while Chen Guang held it with both hands.
The two stood far behind the camera. Chen Guang talked to Yang Xi, who was next to him. He turned around and taught Yang Xi his experience in filming.
Yang Xi, a famous young director, had completely become Chen Guang's follower and apprentice.
Two or three hours later, Yang Xi's notebook was filled with more than a dozen pages. He benefited a lot from it.
There was another advantage for Chen Guang to stay with the crew.
Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage, the two performers, were as stable as ever. Compared with before, they didn't have any particularly dazzling performances, but they definitely didn't make any mistakes.
This was the result of their age and life experience. Although they had been in the industry for a long time, they were young after all. They were not like other young actors, who had more time to understand life and improve their acting skills.
Fortunately, the two of them were talented, and they did their best in performance.
As long as they were accompanied by an experienced director like Big Beard Deng, they could accurately control their micro-expressions and the various details of their bodies to perform the effect that Big Beard wanted them to perform.
This was their talent, but it was also a shackle that hindered their progress.
As young actors, once their acting system was fixed, if they wanted to go further, they would have to completely overturn and rebuild their acting system.
So far, the two of them had won a lot of awards, and they had even been crowned queen at a major Chinese film award.
However, they knew that the value of the awards in their hands was not enough. There were many external factors that caused them to win the awards. At that time, it had caused a lot of controversy, and slowly, it had been left unsettled.
So far, no matter how great their achievements in acting were, they could only be regarded as qualified actors. There was still a long way to go before they could become true masters.
The two of them were well aware of this, but they couldn't come up with any good ideas at the moment. They wanted to change and subvert it, but they were powerless.
However, the two of them were still young at the moment, so they were not in a hurry. This was always going to take time. The future was long, so they could take it one step at a time.
But this time, after watching Chen Guang's version of Thunderstorm on TV, Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage had new expectations for Women.
If it was someone else, perhaps the two of them could only give a performance that was passable, but definitely not stunning, as usual.
But this time, it was Chen Guang who had to cooperate with them. Whether it was Jin Shiyue, who would play Chen Guang's first girlfriend who died of illness in the play, or Jiang Yage, who would be the female lead's fan, they were actually full of expectations.
He could bring Xi Lu and the others into the play of Thunderstorm on the stage, so he could also bring them into the play of Women in front of the camera!
In addition, Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage also felt that this play had a natural advantage that was different from the past.
In the play, the two of them would play the women who liked the male lead, which was simply acting as themselves!
Although Chen Guang hadn't appeared on the set today, he was standing next to them, as if shrouded by his mysterious aura. On the set, Jiang Yage performed very well. In addition to the standard performance a few days ago, she even had a little more spirituality in her movements.
Originally, there was no rehearsal today. Hearing that Chen Guang was coming to visit, Jin Shiyue was also eager to have a try.
In addition, the other actors on the set didn't know why, either. In the past, they often needed Big Beard Deng's strict instructions, but today they suddenly became much more comfortable.
They didn't need Big Beard's hands-on guidance anymore. Basically, they could get the effect that Big Beard wanted, or even better, when they were on the set.
Their understanding of the roles seemed to have reached a new level in an instant.
Big Beard Deng clicked his tongue in wonder at the situation and was secretly delighted.
He wasn't glad that he could be lazy, but he was purely surprised by the actors' excellent performance.
Before they knew it, three hours had passed. The original plan of shooting three sets of scenes for six hours had been completed ahead of schedule.
It was rare for the crew to have an early holiday. Old Ma, the stage supervisor, hurried to prepare the set layout for the next few sets of scenes. The assistant director contacted the small leaders of the small actors in the Film City to discuss the candidates for tomorrow's small actors.
On the other hand, the main cast members gathered near the set tomorrow. They watched poor Old Ma busy himself while holding an impromptu script discussion.
Big Beard Deng originally wanted Chen Guang to sit next to him, but Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage took the seats on either side of Chen Guang. Even Yang Xi, who had been circling around Chen Guang for the whole afternoon, had to move.
Compared with the signing ceremony press conference, the attitude of the main cast members, such as Ren Chong and Zhao Yueling, towards Chen Guang had changed 180 degrees.
One reason was that he had become an investment boss, but the more important reason was his amazing performance in the play "Thunderstorm" some time ago.
At this time, who still doubted his acting skills and level? They were simply stupid.
Now there was only one question in everyone's mind, and that was whether they could be sublimated by performing with him on the same stage as the actors in "Thunderstorm".
At the discussion, Chen Guang didn't speak much, because he had said too much to Yang Xi in the previous three hours, and now he was too lazy to repeat it.
However, whenever they talked about something, Yang Xi could always find Chen Guang's golden sentences in his little notebook.
That afternoon was an afternoon of suffering for all the main cast members of "Women", but at the same time, it was also an afternoon of crazily learning new skills.
Chen Guang didn't need to open his mouth to speak at all. He wanted to show off, but Yang Xi did it for him with his little notebook!
However, this wasn't the most terrible thing.
Director Deng, who had been in the industry for decades and had accumulated billions of dollars in box office sales, had made a lot of achievements in both commercial and artistic films. After hearing Yang Xi read a few sentences from his little notebook, he took out a pen and paper from his pocket and took notes word by word. He even used his authority as a director to ask Yang Xi to read slowly!
Also, after the script conference had lasted for about an hour, Director Xi Changhe brought his niece, Xi Lu, to the set.
Director Xi used his old face to help Xi Lu ask Big Beard Deng for a female student with a few lines in "Women". Big Beard Deng also wanted to see how much a new actor could improve after being shrouded by Chen Guang's legendary acting skills, so he changed his principle.
After Xi Lu arrived, she wanted to ask Chen Guang to sit next to him, but she saw that he was surrounded by two guards, Jiang Yage on his left and Jin Shiyue on his right.
Her jubilant enthusiasm instantly disappeared, and she obediently found a seat at the back of the crowd to sit by herself.
Xi Changhe happily ran to Deng Xiaogang and asked for a stool to sit down. In less than five minutes, the director was so excited that he hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his pocket and began to take notes. From time to time, he even peeked at the content that Deng Xiaogang had written down!
Yang Xi had lived for more than 30 years and had many notable achievements in the past. However, he had never dared to imagine that two senior directors with a combined box office of nearly 10 billion yuan would actually act like primary school students, reading one sentence and writing one sentence for the other.
He was not feeling very well, and cold sweat was pouring down his body. Several times, he looked at Chen Guang as if he was asking for help, hoping that he could say it himself.
However, Chen Guang ignored him and just lowered his head to play with his phone. Yang Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet.
After a full three hours, this unique script conference finally came to an end.
As Big Beard Deng announced the end of the conference, all the main cast members stood up as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. The scene was extremely quiet. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought, and some even bent down to knock their legs. They had been sitting for so long that their legs were numb.
In these three hours, too much information had been forced into their brains. Although Yang Xi had only memorized a total of ten or so pages of Chen Guang's words, the breadth and depth of the Chinese language could not be summarized in a simple line of words.
It could be said that every word that Yang Xi had written down was a gem. Every sentence was full of deep meaning and was worth pondering. Immediately, it made people feel enlightened and like they had gained something.
These were all golden sentences!
Every analysis of a sentence took at least a few minutes, and at most ten to twenty minutes. Unknowingly, it was already six o 'clock in the evening.
The originally planned script conference had turned into an analysis and evaluation session of Yang Xi's notes.
The ones who felt it the most were Deng Xiaogang and Xi Changhe. It was precisely because their level was high enough and their knowledge was broad enough that they stood at a higher position. When the same window was opened in front of them, the two of them could see more of the scenery in the distance than others.
The two great directors looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. It reminded them of the time when they went to Hollywood to study together many years ago and were shocked by the extremely advanced Hollywood film industry at that time. Then, they crazily absorbed knowledge.
How many years had it been since they came back from the study tour? They had never felt this kind of rapid progress.
It could even be said that after listening to the short ten or so pages of notes that Yang Xi had written down, the two of them felt as if they had lived the past ten years in vain!
Big Beard Deng finally understood. No wonder Yang Xi had been so excited that his face was red as he followed Chen Guang and crazily wrote things down.
Scary!
One had to know that this was just the content of that guy's casual comments on the film set in the afternoon!
