I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 49: Not losing out in the same frame? Extras? Really?
Jiang Wen cannot deny this.

Maybe it's just as Ning Jing said.

It's just that I have the bad habit of wanting to know others.

It's a bit embarrassing to be told.

The heroine Ning Jing next to her was actually a little surprised, and her impression of this grassroots person changed a little.

It seems that he was not just pretending when he wrote the biography on the train.

It is to truly hold myself to the same standards as an actor.

It's really good.

"I think you might be able to discuss the script and the role with him. I feel his demeanor and subtle control of his performance are a gift." Ning Jing said to Jiang Wen, "We can communicate."

Being able to communicate is the highest evaluation Ning Jing gives to an extra. For the most part, when the director makes requests to the extras, it's like talking to a deaf person. Those who can understand what people say and give relatively correct feedback are already the best among the extras.

This group of outstanding people will become long-term extras, acting as extras for the crew's next project, the next one, and the next one.

Like Li Xuan.
It is rare to see such acting skills.

There is nothing wrong with Ning Jing's suggestion. The actors she plays with have acting skills and can express themselves well. For this work, the advantages are obvious.

At this time, Jiang Wen came to Li Xuan and just like Ning Jing said, told him some key points, some understanding of the script, and some communication.

Not a pointer.

But communication.

The communication and opinions between actors are not condescending.
Directed.

When Jiang Wen came in front of Li Xuan, he met Li Xuan's eyes, which gave this movie gourmet an illusion.

He is not the young man named 'Li Xuan'.

It was Liu Jieba.
No, is it Liu Jieba?

Is that Liu Jieba???
At this time, Shi Liang was standing next to him, looking at him with a little surprise.

"He hasn't left the show yet?"

Out of the play, into the play.

For actors, it is the sense of immersion that allows them to believe in the world, believe in who they are, and believe that they are people who live and survive in this world.
Li Xuan really didn't act out of character.

Indeed, it is still 'Liu Jieba'.

Li Xuan felt that his memory was becoming blurred, and the perspective in front of him switched three times. The first one was the mutton stall of "Liu Jieba". In the mutton stall, the blood-red soup exuded the aroma of meat.

For a moment, he became "Ma Shan", a policeman who lost his "gun".

Then, he became Li Xuan in the crew.

Three perspectives, three switches, running parallel in chaos yet in order.

Li Xuan felt that this feeling was called "getting into the role".

Entering the body of a man named 'Ma Shan', he experienced his life, a coward who had not read many books, a domineering wife at home, and a son who had poor academic performance but was extremely skilled in being a hooligan. He attended his sister's wedding and saw his first love being affectionate with her boss who supported her, and he was playing both sides in the car, as if he did not exist.

Such people.

He should be called a 'middle-aged man', a middle-aged man who is helpless, bitter and helpless.

Both 'Ma Shan' and 'Stuttering Liu' are middle-aged men who have lost their 'guns'.

That feeling is unforgettable.

It is also Li Xuan's understanding of the role and the script.

“This is still an immersive school.”

At this moment, Jiang Wen looked at Li Xuan who was still in the same state as before, and his surprise turned into shock.

In the entertainment industry, no matter what school or circle, the actors' schools of thought are all due to personal differences.

There is only one school of thought, which is the pure talent school.

That is the immersive school, a genre of interpretation that is created by copying oneself into the characters and substituting into their lives.

The most important feature of this faction.

The acting range is narrow.

No way, there is no one who can fully put himself into the shoes of both the hero and the vicious villain!
Your life must be very perverted to be able to empathize like this.

While the ceiling is high, due to its narrow scope, the immersive school of acting falls outside the scope of formal training and is instead categorized as a niche genre, as it lacks replicability. No one will teach you how to be an immersive actor, and you can't teach others how to be one either.

The right person met the right role.

The chemical reaction produced can enable the immersive style to show its characteristics.

Right before his eyes, Jiang Wen seemed to see the right script and the right person.

A Liu Jieba immersed in the play.

A person who lives in a script.

Lian Jiangwen has been with him for a long time.

It's all a bit of an illusion.

When did I get to know “him”?

A teahouse in Peking? That Hengpiao?

Or is it Liu Jieba, the man selling mutton soup in the alleys of Qingyan Ancient Town?

Damn, I think I can't tell the difference.

Jiang Wen suddenly felt that this extra was a little weird.

"Looking for the Gun" is still being filmed, and the entanglement between Jiang Wen, Li Xiaomeng, and Zhou Xiaogang is the core of the story.

At first, he immediately thought that Zhou Xiaoguang had stolen his gun. After all, he was a profit-seeking businessman, and he was also a businessman who sold fake liquor.

He even wanted to bribe Ma Shan and "give" Li Xiaomeng to him to play with.

This made Ma Shan even more resentful, and he beat him up.

However, after general confirmation, it was discovered that the gun was indeed not stolen by him.

Ma Shan was confused. At this point, he really couldn't tell where the gun had gone.

Found a "thief"? This seemed to ignite his immediate hope. He chased the thief all the way, finally caught him and took away his gun.

The gun in his hand is a toy gun.

"Where's my gun? Where's my gun!!"

Ma Shan gradually became agitated, and he wanted to get the gun back at all costs. At this time, the whereabouts of the gun finally became clear.

Li Xiaomeng died with that Type 54 pistol used by the police.

Here are two pieces of good news for the police department.

The gun has a clue.

Moreover, he did not make a long journey to Peking, but remained in this small town on the border of Guiyang.

Even when performing to this point, Jiang Wen still felt that something was missing. Although it went smoothly, he also felt a little empty and numb.

It wasn't until this last scene that he knew what he was missing.

The person who took the gun was Liu Jieba. Because his family members were killed by fake liquor, he was full of hatred and wanted to take revenge on Zhou Xiaogang.

Three bullets, three guns.

One shot was given to Li Xiaomeng who was blocking the bullet.

One shot was given to Ma Shan who was fishing disguised as Zhou Xiaogang.

One shot was fired at Ma Shan who was confronting a real gun with a fake gun.

"Oh, why did I hit you?"

Liu Jieba slapped himself in regret.

Mingming, my "gun" is my "dignity".

It’s about to be found!

From Lu Chuan's perspective, in the camera.

Jiang Wen and Li Xuan.

It's like looking in a mirror.

In the same frame, there is no sense of incongruity.
