"The Actor, Please Be Here" has a good reputation since its launch. The reason is that unlike other reality shows, the director shows his own directorial skills in the show, and the actors show their own acting skills. This "acting skill" often reflects not yourself. A person who is true to yourself will guide you how not to be yourself. Such a reality show is good.
Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Zhao Wei, Guo Jingming, the four directors in the show are undoubtedly the main coffee, they are also the highlight of the show. In the upcoming short film competition in the finals, both the director and the actors will usher in their final results, which is to visualize and film the results accumulated in all periods and show them to the audience. The director of
today focused on the short film "Barber" shot by a group of director Chen Kaige. It is said that only director Chen Kaige limited the length of the short film to 18 minutes according to the regulations. As we all know, the shorter the film, the harder it is to perform. This requires extremely deep film language skills and extremely precise shot scheduling.
Before watching the show, I believe many audiences will find that Chen Kaige is a meticulous director. He can personally guide every detail of the actor’s performance, and he will tell the actor a clear performance method and role positioning. As his crew members Ming Dao, Yan Yalun, and Niu Junfeng described, he is an old father-type director.
There are three roles in Chen Kaige’s short film "Barber". Ming Dao and Aaron Yan play the barber and apprenticeship, and another role is a terminally ill patient who suddenly arrives, played by Niu Junfeng. The three people will have a connection and a story. , And sparks must be collided, and the background of the characters must be explained in a very short time. The plot should not be too pale, but it must also create reversals and catch people's attention. This is the difficulty of the program group. After watching this short film, the director felt that the director Chen Kaige had fulfilled the task in excess of the quality and quantity. Not only did he create multiple climaxes in just 18 minutes, but he also told the story of a three person with beginnings and endings. Tasteful, the final touch also grabbed the audience's empathy and touched the soul. It really turned out to be a master. The story of the
movie is unexpected. A barber shop that is about to close, two masters and apprentices with bleak prospects. Director Chen Kaige has always had a deep meaning in the use of cameras. He used one of his apprentices to throw the hairstyle model into the box, plus a master. Turning off the camera of the three-color column outside the door with trembling fingers, it immediately explained the current dilemma of the master and apprentice. Coupled with the carefully framed barber scissors on the wall, it rendered a kind of sadness that was once glorious but is now helpless and desolate. The extension of the
story happened when a pale-faced man walked into the barbershop. It stands to reason that even if an inconspicuous and lifeless barbershop like them opens, there are no customers, not to mention today, even the sign lights outside. Went out. But the real story began the moment he walked into the barbershop, a kind of calm was broken, and another kind of ending had a chance. Why would a man appear in such a barber shop where the master's hands are all gone? The audience's appetites were lifted all at once, and with the dim lighting, an atmosphere of suspense was blown over them.
After the master and apprentice came back from dinner, they found the man still standing in front of the store waiting. Not only are the two masters and apprentices in the movie, the audience is also very confused by the man's behavior. When it opened, the business was sluggish, and there was a diehard fan when it closed. On the contrary, the apprentice seemed a little excited, because the man who seemed to be reluctant to leave and cut his head was probably their first line of life...
I believe that seeing the end, both the audience and the master and apprentice will suddenly realize , The director of the final ending will not do too much spoiler here, this movie full of sense of short film is very worthy of every audience to watch. Not only because it is a final work, but the process of these short episodes allows us not only to witness the growth of each actor, but also to deeply appreciate Chen Kaige's skill as a well-known director through the short film. He cleverly uses the lens to symbolize the common props. The mirror in the film, the light flickering at the door, and the traffic light at the crossroads where the master and apprentice walked repeatedly several times. Deeply, they are all insinuations to reality, and they also render the atmosphere of the story all the time, such as a mirror, which witnesses changes, such as a broken traffic light. The green light is always on, which means that it will always be unimpeded... Sometimes, We give ourselves a green light, don’t we hinder thisHaving said that, the so-called obstacles are nothing but man-made. In short, there are many interesting things in the movie, and I recommend that you don't miss the ten minutes of excitement.
