Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

Cao Gong picked up the intercom and ordered: "Do it again, do it again. Don't be so stiff in the fighting scenes. Relax a little. Your whole body is tense."

"You are a grown man, and you are so scared by the wire several meters high?"

"85 flowers Zhao Liying and Liu Yifei are weak girls. They can still be as ethereal as fairies with the wire more than ten meters high. You grown men are not as good as a girl?"

Cao Gong's ridicule made these male actors very helpless.

Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying are also famous in the circle for their fighting scenes.

Their fighting scenes are the face of the 85 flowers. Even Yang Mi can't compare to them.

Yang Mi's fighting scenes are not as good as these three, and the fighting scenes of these three are also recognized as the top three among the post-80s female stars in the circle.

"Brother, give me some strength. I really don't want to scold you. Please cooperate with me."

"I don't want to be a strict director. Can't we just have some fun?"

Cao Gong, holding the intercom, revealed his feelings to the two young actors in the scene.

The actors in the scene also received it immediately: "Okay, do it again and try to satisfy you."

"Don't satisfy me, satisfy yourself." Cao Gong said immediately.

"You are not acting for me, but for yourself."

"If you act well, your career will progress."

"Why are you acting for me? A Valentine's Day gift?" Cao Gong put his hands on his waist and taught the actors.

"Also, when acting, when you are speaking lines, don't always think about showing your acting skills. What's the point of competing with the opponent actor? Acting is about mutual achievement. When you play your role well and throw it to the opponent actor, you should consider whether the opponent can catch it."

"If the opponent actor can catch it, it will be smoother and better reflect your acting skills."

"Always thinking about competing and acting better than the opponent partner will only make the whole scene look more overworked and express that your opponent's performance is not satisfactory."

"This will not please both sides. Why act like this?"

"Do it again!!!" After explaining, Cao Gong shouted and asked them to do it again.

After being educated by Cao Gong, the two actors who were older than Cao Gong did not dare to say more.

Although Cao Gong was younger than them, he was the first big director born in the 1990s.

Although he did not have any works as the chief director, most of them were the second director.

But even so, the whole circle recognizes his directing ability.

Wolf Warrior, Operation Red Sea, The Wandering Earth, The Cage of Spirits, Swallowed Star, The Evil Dead, all of these are directed by Cao Gong, and he is also one of the directors.

These are all good movies, with high box office and good reputation.

Although not all movies directed by the chief director are good, but this is not the point.

The point is that Cao Gong can direct scenes and has directed many famous scenes. This is his ability.

So don't underestimate Cao Gong's young age, but his ability is definitely at the level of a great director.

In this TV series collaboration, any actor learned a lot under Cao Gong's guidance.

This is why everyone admires Cao Gong.

Cao Gong has never regarded himself as a strict director. Even if the actors don't perform well, Cao Gong rarely loses his temper. Instead, he directs patiently, tells the actors what they think, and then enlightens them and helps them improve. This is what Cao Gong said himself.

If it is useful for the director to scold the actors when he is angry, then anyone can be the director.

When other directors direct, the actors can't perform the effect he wants. In fact, in addition to the actors' lack of understanding, the director himself also has problems.

The actor is not the director himself. He doesn't know what the director wants, so he can't perform the effect and appearance the director wants.

If a director can express himself, he can clearly express the effect he wants to the actor. As long as the actor can understand it easily, the actor can perform it.

Many times, when the director is directing, he is struggling with what kind of effect he wants.

When he is struggling, the explanation and requirements he gives are ambiguous, and the actor is naturally not good.

The actor does not perform well, and the director is not sure, so he gets angry and scolds people.

This is what happens to many directors.

But Cao Gong is not like this. He looks at this matter from another perspective.

He never scolds people. Instead, in every scene, when the actor does not understand and does not know how to perform, he will clearly tell the actor what he wants, and you just need to perform it for me. It will be easy to make the actor understand if you explain it clearly.

"My god, is the camera over there a female photographer?" Cao Gong laughed.

"No!" the actor replied.

"You are not a female photographer, why are you looking at the camera? Actors cannot look at the camera when acting, don't you know that?"

"This is acting, not stage performance."

"Only idols need to find the camera position and the camera when they perform on stage, but actors don't need to look at the camera when they act."

"Correct this habit, and remember it, otherwise if you look at the camera again when you are filming in the future, the director will scold you to death."

The actor who was reminded understood it now.

It turns out that actors cannot look at the camera when acting, I understand.

"Director, why can't actors look at the camera?" The actor expressed his confusion.

Seeing that the actor didn't understand, Cao Gong didn't blame him.

"Actors don't look at the camera when acting, because looking at the camera will break the fourth wall, thus affecting the authenticity and coherence of the performance."

"The fourth wall refers to the invisible boundary between the stage and the audience in traditional drama."

"When actors look at the camera, they will see the invisible boundary between the stage and the audience in traditional drama."When the actors look towards the camera, it will distract their attention and make the performance seem less natural and less real. ”

“And the actors’ eyes should be focused on the emotional world, not on the camera.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“Unless it is required by some plots, such as the last time Zhang Zifeng looked at the camera in “Detective Chinatown 1”. ”

Cao Gong’s explanation made the actors on the scene understand.

Seeing that the young actors on the scene understood this, Cao Gong also said to them: “Let me tell you one more thing.”

“In the future, when acting, don’t watch the playback if you can.”

“Even if there are NGs, don’t watch it if you can.”[]

“Because after watching the playback, you will have a similar feeling like my side face angle is not good-looking, and the next thing to pay attention to is this side face angle.”

“Or you will feel that this angle will make me look ugly and not good-looking. ”

“Or maybe you feel that your smile is too stiff, your eyes are not confident enough, etc.”

“When you watch the playback, you will subconsciously notice these things, and when you perform in one take, you will deliberately correct them. Once you do it deliberately, the traces of performance will come out, and it will not look natural and relaxed enough, which will reflect your stiff acting skills and the traces of performance will be too obvious.”

As a director, Cao Gong gave these actors some tips to let them know this skill and experience.

In fact, these are what Cao Gong learned from Liang Chaowei.

“Unless it is necessary, try not to watch the playback.”

“If you don’t watch the playback, you will be much more natural in the next take.”

“Okay, let’s do it again. Take your time to digest it. Don’t be anxious.” "After Cao Gong finished speaking, he asked them to continue.

There were many actors present, and many of them understood what Cao Gong said earlier about not watching the camera.

But what he said later, about not watching the playback when acting, was rarely heard.

However, the actors who had worked with Cao Gong realized it.

"Oh, yes, my husband rarely watches the playback when acting." Zhao Liying, who had worked with him many times, immediately realized it.

"So it's true." Even Guan Xiaotong realized that Cao Gong rarely watched the playback.

"It's always the director who asks him to watch the playback, otherwise, he won't come to watch the playback."

"Or he will watch the playback when he is directing a scene."

"And when he is directing a scene, he rarely lets the actors watch the playback, and he just shouts the next one. ”

The people who have collaborated with Cao Gong the most in film and television dramas should be Zhao Liying and Guan Xiaotong.

“Do you watch the playback when you are acting?” Guan Xiaotong asked Zhao Liying beside her.,

“Sometimes I watch it. My husband just said that this happened a lot before.”

“After watching the playback, I think this look is not good, so I will pay attention to the next one.”

“Or I think this angle is not good, and this makeup has problems, so I need to fix something.”.”

“In fact, even now, there will be this subconsciousness.”

“If it weren’t for what Cao Gong said just now, I really wouldn’t have realized this.”

“No wonder when he was filming, when there was NG, he squatted in the scene to listen to the director, and didn’t watch the playback or anything. It turned out that he learned another trick to avoid watching the playback.”

While talking, Zhao Liying thought this trick was good and could be used in the future.

After hearing this, Cao Gong deliberately teased Yang Mi: “Look at him, he has learned another trick.”

“You, you are behind again.”

Yang Mi, who was teased, was even more angry and laughed at by this dog man.

Liu Shishi and Dilireba on the side also laughed softly.

“Shut up and direct your play well. "Yang Mi threatened him angrily.

"Seriously, let's be honest, there are three factions in my harem."

"Feifei, Yingbao, and Lu Jie are one faction."

"You, Shishi, and Dibao are one faction."

"Meng Jie, Chuxiu, and Zhou Ye are one faction."

"If we talk about acting skills, it's really Feifei and her faction that has the best acting skills and the highest comprehensive ability."

"Acting skills, Yingbao is the undisputed number one here."

"In martial arts scenes, Feifei is the first, Shishi is the second, and Yingbao is the third."
