Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 441 If only Arthur had half of his talent... No, one third of his talent...

"Confidence..."

Ning Luo smacked his lips and said, "I don't know yet. Let's wait until the pre-sale starts."

"Little Red Flower" has been officially scheduled to be released on New Year's Day this year, and will be released on December 12st.

When the release date was announced, the internet was in an uproar.

The first official trailer, "Cherish", was also released a few days ago, and countless fans and netizens left messages expressing their anticipation.

But Ning Luo was not sure how many audiences this anti-cancer drama could attract to buy tickets and go to the cinema.

The huge success of "Better Days" was completely beyond his expectations.

To be honest, Ning Luo himself had no interest in this kind of depressing and boring film.

So it’s better not to set a flag in advance.

One billion or eight billion would be enough.

Isn’t this request too much?
Wu Jing was quite confident in him and waved her hands openly.

"Don't worry, with your level, there will be no problem."

Ning Luo couldn't help but joked: "Then I'll borrow the good words of the 'Emperor'~"

"I think you want to be beaten!"

"Haha."

After finishing her hairstyle, Ning Luo looked left and right in the makeup mirror with some curiosity.

The plot to be filmed today is the opening scene before Wu Wanli, played by Ning Luo, joins the army.

His overall appearance is that of a naughty wild child who grew up by the river.

He was wearing old tattered clothes and had long undressed hair. His originally fair skin had been toned down several shades by the makeup artist's special make-up, making him look gray and rough.

It is somewhat similar to the previous "Xiao Bei", but not as gloomy.

Ning Luo took two selfies and sent them to his girlfriends for them to use at night.

Wu Jing, who was standing aside, looked Ning Luo up and down, who had completely changed his appearance, and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

"You look much more manly now than when you first entered the room."

"What's the use of that? Girls nowadays don't buy into that. It doesn't matter if you're married, but I still need to find a wife~"

Wu Jing sneered: "If you hadn't taken a selfie and sent a message just now, I might have believed it."

Ning Luo shrugged.

After chatting for a while, the two rushed to the set together to prepare to start filming.

Director Chen was already here directing the stage management to set up the scenery. When he saw the two people's looks, he looked at Ning Luo in particular and nodded with satisfaction.

What he was most worried about before was that Ning Luo's appearance did not match the style of the entire film.

Ning Luo is so exquisite.

It is so exquisite that it has almost nothing to do with military, action, war, comedy, and period films.

There may even be some conflicts.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Ning Luo rarely gets top film projects.

In today's mainland film market, main-theme blockbusters are the trend and direction.

Main theme blockbusters, on the other hand, have serious overlap with the above-mentioned types.

This also led to many directors and film and television companies that were originally very interested in Ning Luo not extending an olive branch to him.

Looking back today, Director Chen suddenly felt that he had been following a habitual way of thinking.

Ning Luo's plasticity was much higher than he had imagined before. No wonder the old lady, who had not accepted any disciples for more than 20 years, would open the mountain gate again and accept this last disciple.

It is indeed a very rare and good seedling.

What made him even more satisfied was that Ning Luo had specially undergone weight loss training in order to fit the image of "Wu Wanli".

He is extremely talented, highly adaptable, and can work hard for a role. He has the support of capital giants, established film and television companies, and teachers with extensive connections.

This young man will probably be quite remarkable in the future.

I guess those old guys won’t be able to suppress him for much longer.

I have to remind Chen Hong and Arthur later that they must never provoke this little guy again.

He knew that these two people had repeatedly used his name to try to make Ning Luo a match for Arthur, but he didn't care much at the time.

It seems that he needs to pay more attention in the future.

After giving a few brief instructions and waiting for the crew to set up the scene, Director Chen announced that filming would begin.

The first scene is that Wu Qianli, played by Wu Jing, is returning home by boat and happens to meet Wu Wanli, played by Ning Luo, who is bringing a group of children along the stream and throwing stones at the boatman.

After getting off the boat, Wu Qianli tidied up Wu Wanli.

Only then did Wu Wanli recognize his brother who was dressed in military uniform and had changed his appearance. He then ran home in surprise to inform his parents.

It was a little difficult for Ning Luo, but not much.

The biggest difficulty of this role is how to interpret in the middle and late stages that Wu Wanli naturally grows from a rookie who can't shoot a gun to a firm soldier who calls out "No. 677, Wu Wanli".

This is also one of the few characters in the film with a complete growth line.

If the performance is good, it will be very outstanding and easily arouse the audience's empathy.

If it is not handled properly, it will appear extremely abrupt, redundant, and even annoying.

With a shout of "action", the entire crew suddenly started to move.

Director Chen sat on a chair in front of the monitor, watching Ning Luo's performance on the screen with focused eyes, and a hint of admiration emerged in his heart.

On the screen, Wu Wanli, played by Ning Luo, led a group of children, running, jumping and shouting along the stream, picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at the boat from time to time, wantonly showing off Ning Luo,

The aura of a naughty, mischievous and somewhat rebellious child who is ignorant of the world shines directly into the camera through Ning Luo's naughty and casual eyes, tone and movements.

It's extremely natural and smooth, with a full sense of relaxation, and there's no trace of performance at all!
What impressed him most was that Ning Luo had a very good control over micro-expressions and his eyes were natural and lively.

Even in scenes without dialogue or action, Ning Luo can clearly convey the character's emotional ups and downs through his eyes and expressions.

Especially after Ning Luo was beaten up by Wu Jing and recognized his brother, his eyes changed several times in a very short period of time.

From the ferocity and unwillingness to accept the defeat after being beaten, to the slight confusion and doubt when hearing Wu Qianli introduce himself.

And after recognizing that it was really his own brother, in the close-up shot, the look of surprise slowly emerged from Ning Luo's eyes, then filled his pupils, and finally slowly spread to his entire face. It was so natural, smooth, and clearly visible!

Moreover, the “degree” is grasped very accurately!

This is the most rare thing!

There are many actors who can express various emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, nervousness, etc., but because they cannot grasp the "degree" well, they often give people a feeling of overdoing it.

Very abrupt and deliberate.

This is true even for the so-called talented actors of the Mesozoic era.

Because the ability to control micro-expressions and eye contact really requires talent!

Looking at the monitor, Ning Luo's every look and movement was filled with vigorous spirit, and Director Chen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

If Arthur could have half... no, one-third of Ning Luo's talent, he would even have the confidence to get a movie star for his eldest son!
