Chapter 36： Thats a deal (1/2)
After the basic audition, Wang Yang turned over from behind the camera, looked at Jessica a few steps away, and smiled: ”Then next, it's time to start the performance question.”
”Okay.” Jessica took a deep breath and prepared herself. The performance question is a vital part of the audition. She must play well.
Wang Yang pretended to be performing the subject, and waited for Jessica ’s breathing to calm down before looking at her and saying the long-awaited question: ”If you hear your boyfriend and his good friend now They said that he just wanted to play with you casually, and his feelings towards you are not serious. So, you are very sad and lost now, and you are about to cry. Please perform. ”
These days, Jessica has been practicing her acting hard, but acting is not quick. I saw that her brows were frowned, her lips were pursed, and her eyes tried hard to make a tearful appearance, and the performance was still immature.
Looking at the camera screen, Wang Yang calmly analyzed in his heart that Jessica's acting skills now only have some very typical ”sad” expressions. If she is an expressionist, she plays too simple and lacks richness. The expression and sense of hierarchy; if she is an experiential actor, her emotional input is not enough, and the performance traces are very heavy.
Expressionism pays attention to the separation of performance, which means that you are you, and the role is the role. The way to perform is to analyze your role calmly and rationally, analyze the plot plot, and then design the performance details and then perform it step by step, so Expressionist feelings are fake, you cry in front of the camera, but in fact you do not feel sad at all. The expressionist does not mean that it cannot be substituted into the role, but it emphasizes ”control”. When performing, you must always keep a sober and examine whether your performance is correct and on track.
And another faction experience school, it is to emphasize method acting, to require feelings, you are not you, you are that character, you have to enter the inner world of that character, and then become him. In front of the camera, you are the character, everything you do is a natural performance, naturally. In order to help himself enter the role, actors of this faction often go to ”experience”, such as Robert De Niro, in order to perform the movie ”Taxi Driver”, he really made a taxi for several months in New York The driver shuttles passengers every day.
Expressionism and experientialism constitute the basic performance style nowadays, and Wang Yang has always liked experientialism. Only when you really understand that character and resonate with that character in soul will that character have soul and be in the camera. Live out.
Like Heath Ledger, he plays the ”Clown” impeccably in the future; like Alan Page, since he accidentally watched a movie called ”Juneau” in his mind, he loved it. If this girl's performance has to say anything of praise, it is a genius-level acting.
”The reason I like acting is that you can completely lose yourself and then become another person.” This is what she said in the interview report of Allen Page, a typical experiential actor.
And Jessica ’s current acting is neither the calmness of the expression school nor the spirit of the experience school, which is very immature. But it doesn't matter. She is only 17 years old. She has just started on the road. Her acting skills can be hone slowly. No one is born to act, but as long as you work hard, anyone can become an excellent actor.
Furthermore, ”High School Musical” is not ”Moulin Rouge”, the heroine does not need to be a shadow, but a fascinating youth idol. And there are not many sad shots in the movie, Jessica should be able to complete those shots under the hard guidance.
Thinking of this, Wang Yang smiled at the camera screen and shouted: ”OK, yes. Jessica, come on a smile show, you and your boyfriend are talking happily, as if it is now a close-up, looking at the camera casually Just to say a few words, when I speak, you are listening to the male lead, do you understand? ”
”Okay, I know.” Jessica stopped her sad expression and immediately smiled. She said happily: ”Hi, I'm Jessica, so happy to meet you, today's weather in Los Angeles. well……”
Looking at her sweet smile and delicate expression, Wang Yang nodded approvingly, and Jessica's performance when she laughed was much better, probably because of the real performance, and there was nothing impeccable. This is good news, because ”Gabriella” in ”High School Musical” laughs most of the time.
Then he said a few more words. Jessica's listening performance was also good. After watching it for a while, he smiled and said, ”Good job! Jessica, let's have another affectionate performance. You know, It's the kind of boyfriend who looks at himself, and has some sweetness and shame in love. ”This performance is very important. In the” High School Musical ”, there are many scenes of male and female protagonists singing, and this performance is needed at that time.
Is it like looking at my boyfriend? Jessica looked at Wang Yang at the back of the camera and said in his heart, ”He is my boyfriend, he is my boyfriend ...” After saying it several times, her heart began to beat rapidly, looking at the camera lens, He naturally raised the corner of his mouth, slowly showing a sweet smile, blinking his eyes, revealing a charming girlish style.
”Wow! It's great!” Wang Yang couldn't help but loudly praised, this is the lens she performed very well, compared with the sad camera just now, it is just like two people! No traces of performance at all, great! He shouted excitedly: ”Cut! Jessica, perform well!”
Jessica smiled at him again, slowing her heartbeat by sorting her hair with her hands.
Tried a few more shots, and Jessica ’s performance was generally good, sometimes very immature, and sometimes brightened. Wang Yang left the camera and sat back behind the long table. He rated ”A +” on the paper's appearance and temperament, and ”B +” on the performance. Her sad performance was not good, but the ”sentimental” one. A lot of points were added to her, so the average score was pulled back.
Wang Yang did n’t test Jessica ’s dance. Her material said that she would n’t dance. He knew it long ago, but obviously it ’s easy for her to learn to dance, and now there is only one sing. After looking at Jessica waiting for the next interview, Wang Yang actually got a little nervous and said, ”So, Jessica, sing us a song.”
Ms. Robert picked up a ballpoint pen ready to record and looked at Jessica with interest.
”OK.” Jessica nodded and felt a little nervous in her heart. She took a deep breath and sang out the song she was practicing every day recently, Madonna's lyric slow song ”Take-a-bow”, Sing: ”Take-a-bow. The-night-is-over ......”
Wang Yang ’s left elbow rested on the table with his chin on his face, and he looked at Jessica with a smile on his face, listening to her singing quietly. The voice seemed a little nervous, but it sounded pretty good, not like a pentagram. people. He paid attention to the look of Ms. Robert next to him, and saw that her face was as bland as water. Occasionally, she would write some notes on the paper and could not see her attitude.
”The-show-is-over. Say-good-bye ...” Jessica sang the last sentence, and finally put down her cautiously, relieved.
Seeing her finish singing, Wang Yang clapped her hands and gave her some applause. Sandy Parks also patted a few times, and Ms. Robert lowered her head, holding a ballpoint pen and writing something quickly. Wang Yang nodded to Jessica: ”Jessica, you can go, thank you very much for your audition.”
”Thank you, goodbye!” Jessica smiled at Wang Yang and the other three judges, then turned around and walked out. When she opened the door to leave, she looked back at Wang Yang again. Wang Yang smiled and gave her a thumbs up, saying everything was okay. She smiled too, then walked out of the interview room and closed the door.
As soon as Jessica left, Wang Yang could not wait to turn to look at Ms. Robert, and asked nervously, ”How is it, Ms. Robert? Is this girl singing well?”
”The sound is okay, not an unpleasant type.” Ms. Robert nodded her head first, then shrugged. ”But her breath is a bit chaotic. If it is a fast-paced song, there may be out of tune. She sings very slowly and cautiously; and lacks singing skills, no false voices, and does not understand the timing of ventilation, and she obviously has not received professional training. ”
Then the sound is good, but the breath is chaotic, no skills ... oh man, don't understand these! Wang Yang laughed self-deprecatingly and asked directly: ”Ms. Robert, do you think that after some professional training, plus the processing of the recording studio, can her singing sound good?” This question is very important, almost The only question about whether she can choose Jessica as the heroine of ”High School Musical.” Thinking of this, he added again: ”My request is not high, as long as everyone feels” not bad, you can listen ”.”
”Young man, this demand is already very high.” Ms. Robert laughed a few times before nodding: ”You can try, she has already shown her own music cell just now, not many, it is common. I dare not sing Guaranteed; but in the recording studio, there is no problem. ”Then, she smiled and said:” Of course, you can't expect her to become Madonna. ”
”YES!” Wang Yang couldn't help but shouted happily, holding his fist in both hands and raising it, exhaling with a smile.
Next to Sandy-Pakes sighed secretly, it seems that the heroine of this musical is the girl just now? This young boss obviously knew her, maybe they are still in a relationship, who knows! But for the sake of the company, he couldn't help but say: ”That girl's appearance is good, but her acting is not as good as many people before. The Eliza Dushku in front of her has better acting skills than her. . ”
