On the second night of the walk-in assessment in the variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class Season 2", Eric Tsang taught the editors and photographers the secret to making themselves love "to death" while having lunch with Infinite actors on the set. It’s an eye-opener for actors.
Eric Tsang said that actors must come to the set in advance to see what dishes are available, so that they can allocate lines well, grasp the rhythm, and determine when to eat and when to speak lines. Because when you are speaking your lines, others cannot hear clearly what you are saying if your mouth is full, so you need to know clearly what kind of food you are picking up, and the first bite you take will be your dialogue. If it's Western food, you have to hold a wine glass and shake the red wine, and you have to cleverly use logic to convey the character's emotions. These are all dramas.
Because he would do this when filming a meal scene, designing every detail and the entire rhythm. So when he shot a meal scene in Shenzhen two years ago, after filming the scene, the reporter came and said: "Zhiweiwei, wow. I admire you very much. I am the recorder. I must remember what you eat and what you take. You took more than a dozen shots, and you always look the same."
"I said of course it is the same, because I have already designed it. Well, when he said that dialogue, I happened to be eating. When he said that dialogue, I happened to have finished eating and went to get a cup, so I shook it deliberately to listen to what he said..." So the actor must It needs to be allocated well, otherwise if you eat it randomly and eat different things in each shot, wow, that editor will definitely "kill" you.
After sharing how to become an editor’s favorite, Eric Tsang went on to share his experience on how to become an actor that photographers like. He said that a good actor is one who even walks accurately. Your walking position is for the photographer, so actors should not be lazy. During the rehearsal, you should be on site to see how the machine is placed.
When he and Ng Zhenyu were filming " Infernal Affairs 2", when the two of them were assigning lines, they would also allocate each other's positions and discuss how to adjust each other's postures to look best, whether they should be frontal or at what angle. sides, how far away from each other. When adjusting the position, I would also ask the photographer's opinion from time to time. Should I cover his ears or one of his eyes? If you can do this, the photographer will love you to death. They will tell the director that this actor is very good and is accurate every time, and whether they are accurate depends on the location.
The reason why you need to adjust the position and rhythm well is because even experienced actors cannot finish one shot. Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on editors and photographers, editing and photography issues must be considered when acting. Go in. It's a pity that many artists don't seem to understand this. Whether it's last year's "Infinite Class Season 1" or this year's second season, there are actors who don't pay attention to the rhythm and camera position when acting, resulting in every performance not being quite right. Likewise, the performance clips presented did not include enough shots of the actors’ faces, and the instructor could not clearly see the actors’ facial expressions.
A good actor must not only take into account editing, photography, props, etc., but also pay attention to psychological construction and emotional expression outside the camera. After Eric Tsang shared the secret to making editors and photographers fall in love with him, Wu Zhenyu gave a small lesson to the artists with Zhang Rui's poor performance in the afternoon. As soon as Ni Yongxiao, played by Zhang Rui, appeared on the stage today, Gao Haining, Wang Qiang, and others were all kneeling. Zhang Rui didn't think about what he was doing before he came in, or what purpose he came with. It seemed that he had no idea. I thought about the people in front of me who had been kneeling for half an hour, so the effect of the performance was like they were here to eat, not to deal with those people.
Father Wu is worthy of being Father Wu. He is really venomous and kind-hearted. Although he has been criticizing Zhang Rui in the afternoon, all the criticism and training are in the hope that his acting skills will improve. Even at dinner in the evening, he does not forget to mention him. problem lies in. He and Eric Tsang are a perfect match. One is responsible for teaching negative cases, and the other is responsible for giving lectures on common issues among artists, teaching them how to grasp the rhythm, pay attention to position, and become actors that are loved by editors and photographers.
