Chapter 279: Three types of personality performance methods (Ch 279)

“Little Orange, you are so smart. Let Sister Yiran take you to buy KFC.”

Qi Jia happily touched Wang Shengdi’s head, then stood up and went to find the director.

“Sister, is Brother Qi possessed by a demon?” Wang Shengdi held his chin with both hands, with a big question mark on his forehead.

The assistant picked up Wang Shengdi with a relaxed look on her face and said with a smile, “Brother Qi has come to his senses. Don’t worry about him. Come on, I’ll take you to Crazy Thursday. What do you want to eat?”

“I want to get some French fries and bring some for Brother Qi.”

“Okay, bring him a delicious Krabby Patty”

The two, one big and one small, left the set, talking and laughing.

On the other side, Qi Jia found the director and told him his idea.

“Are you going to change the script by doing this?” Xin Shuang’s face turned a little serious after hearing this.

Many screenwriters in the industry do not like directors to change their scripts at will, unless the director is a well-known big director or the sponsor asks them to do so.

But obviously Xin Shuang, who had only made a few short films and an unknown movie before, did not meet either of the above two requirements.

Qi Jia saw his worry and waved his hand to explain,

“No need to change the script, I just need to adjust their body movements.”

Xin Shuang’s expression finally relaxed. He waved to the stage manager and asked him to call Huang Miyi and the other two over.

After the three arrived, Qi Jia told them his ideas several times. Although the three did not understand, they all expressed their absolute cooperation.

When Qi Jia was explaining the play, Xin Shuang was watching from the side. At first, he didn’t understand either.

But after listening to it several times, he gradually understood it, so when the four of them were ready, he couldn’t wait to gather the crew and start filming immediately.

Seeing the crew getting moving, the other leading actors also came over to watch the fun.

“Look at how happy the director is. Is there something different this time?” Zhang Songwen glanced at Xin Shuang and asked curiously.

Wang Jingchun was also a little puzzled. He couldn’t understand how Qi Jia could complete such a difficult performance.

At this time, Rong Zishan walked up to Zhang Songwen with the script and shouted flatteringly,

“Dad, there is something I don’t quite understand, can you explain it to me?”

He plays the role of Zhang Songwen’s son in the play, so he called “Dad” very naturally without any psychological pressure.

Zhang Songwen took the script from him with some reluctance. Since joining the crew, he has been calling him dad outside the play.

He corrected him several times but it was no use. The other party was just a child, so he couldn’t say much. In the end, he just let him go.

Wang Jingchun, who was old and experienced, looked at Rong Zishan meaningfully, smiled and said nothing.

“Crew in place”

“Lights in place”

“Receive in place”

“The Secret Corner, 6th scene, 1st scene, 23 times, starts”

Pa～ (sound of hitting the board)

Zhang Dongsheng, played by Qi Jia, comes in from outside. The camera follows his body and captures the changes in his facial expressions.

After entering the room, he pretended not to have heard anything, with a calm expression.

After three seconds, he seemed to have just realized that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were at home. His expression instantly became enthusiastic and happy. He closed the door and said,

“Hey, Mom and Dad are here”

All this was going according to the original plot, but the next second, the old actor who played the father-in-law suddenly stood up.

“I’m going to smoke a cigarette,” he said, and walked out to the balcony.

This is the first place Qi Jia modified. In the original plot, the father-in-law glanced at Zhang Dongsheng indifferently.

Wang Jingchun suddenly exclaimed, and stood up.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Songwen raised his head and asked,

Wang Jingchun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head uncertainly, “I can’t say for sure, it feels a bit like the director’s request, go explain the play to your son, don’t disturb me.”

Not only Wang Jingchun, but everyone in the crew had an idea after seeing this scene.

“A warm face meets a cold butt.”

This is the feeling Qi Jia wanted. In fact, the director’s request for him to play three personalities at the same time was not the most difficult thing.

The most difficult thing is how to make the audience feel these three personalities.

After Wang Shengdi’s reminder, he thought of the method of “contrast”, using the other three people to let the audience feel the different personalities of Zhang Dongsheng.

For example, the scene of greeting people when they just walked in,

Zhang Dongsheng’s enthusiasm did not receive any response from anyone in the family. Even after he greeted them,

The father-in-law, who was urging his daughter to divorce him just a second ago, just stood up and left.

Next, through Zhang Dongsheng’s usual warm greetings and the indifference and perfunctory attitude of his mother-in-law and wife,

The contrast between these two strong attitudes makes the audience feel Zhang Dongsheng’s first personality.

【Loyal and honest】

If you are not an honest person, who can still smile and greet others after suffering such cold violence for a long time?

Unless, he is a rational madman who is suppressing his own madness, and this is the third personality that Qi Jia will introduce next.

“I said this is between the two of us and has nothing to do with them.”

Huang Miyi, who played the role of his wife Xu Jing, followed Qi Jia’s instructions and said the lines at the same time.

The speed and force of extinguishing the cigarette increases as the tone of the lines increases.

This is another small detail that further portrays Zhang Dongsheng’s humble and pitiful image in the minds of the audience.

This provides a shocking enough foreshadowing for the subsequent appearance of the third personality.

After Huang Mi finished her lines, Qi Jia walked out of the kitchen slowly, came to her side, and said,

“How can it not be a problem? We should also consider our parents’ feelings.”

His tone and attitude were almost begging, but he still couldn’t get his wife to even look at him.

This scene made many staff members feel sorry for Zhang Dongsheng.

“Oh my god, this is too humble. Are there really such honest lickers in real life?”

“Of course not. You can see it if you look in the mirror.”

“Fuck you, you’re the one who’s the licker.”

“I didn’t scold you. I just said that you are an honest person in your relationship.”

“What’s the difference between you and scolding me?”

In the lens,

“They just want me to be happy”

Huang Miyi said this coldly, then turned around and went back to her room. Qi Jia’s eyes followed her as she turned around.

He watched the door close in silence, without any movement or expression, even his breathing did not change.

But his eyes had changed. The tenderness of the previous second was no longer in those dark eyes. Instead, there was a hint of coolness.

The third personality is out.

Hiss~

Xin Shuang in front of the monitor looked into Qi Jia’s eyes and couldn’t help but shudder. There was no emotion in his eyes, only a knife.

Even through the screen, he could feel that the person opposite him was a rational madman.

I wonder if this performance will scare many people into being afraid of marriage, Xin Shuang thought wildly. Seeing that the plot had ended, he stood up and shouted, “Also,

“Okay, click!”

As he finished speaking, many people still hadn’t reacted.

“Did I hear correctly? The director just shouted ‘OK’? Instead of ‘Do it again’?”

“Really? Why does it feel a little unreal to me?”

“To be honest, although I only made a few minor adjustments, Qi Jia actually fulfilled all the director’s requirements. This is amazing.”

“Aren’t there only two personalities? What about the Gu family?”

“Have you ever seen a man who doesn’t care about his family and would take the initiative to buy groceries and go home to make soup and cook? Is there any need to act?”

Until I saw the director walked up to me with a smile, patted Qi Jia on the shoulder and said,

“Okay, okay, since the day of your audition, I knew you would never disappoint me.”

The staff finally relaxed after a day of tension. They knew that this time they had really passed and they didn’t have to work overtime tonight.

“Did you taste anything?”

Wang Jingchun asked Zhang Songwen who was standing beside him, rubbing his sore eyes as he spoke.

I was so absorbed in watching just now that I didn’t notice that my eyes are tired.

Zhang Songwen thought for a long time before he came up with a sentence:

“It’s a very clever method. Without changing the script, I was able to use other people’s body language to complete my performance.

I can only say that his understanding of the script is higher than both of us.”

As he spoke, his eyes were full of amazement.

Rong Zishan, who was standing by, didn’t understand what was said, but he knew it was a compliment.

Suddenly, an unrealistic idea came into his mind.

“It would be great if Teacher Qi Jia played my dad, so I could find an excuse to act with him more often.”
