"Just like the movies I made, I want more people in the world to see that our country is different and that it is not a backward place in the eyes of those people. In order to show that they have depth, many movies always make characters The characters look disgraced, and they go to remote areas. It seems that the more difficult the life is, the more in-depth it is. It’s not that there are no places like this, or that I won’t shoot them, but I want to capture the richness and poverty, development and backwardness, the two. They are all integrated, and the contradictions between them are actually a very charming thing from another angle."
"Similarly, I also hope to discover more outstanding young actors. In many works, some new faces appear. Their performances may still be very raw, but from another perspective, they still have unpolished and natural aspects. Don't let them The audience looked around and saw the same faces, nothing new at all.”
"So, I came here." Deng Xu said.
Although he didn't say some things, everyone knew that what Deng Xu said might be due to one reason, but if Han Zhuoli didn't come forward, he probably wouldn't come back.
There are many opportunities to discover young actors. For great directors like Deng Xu, there is never a shortage of young actors to come forward.
There are already countless actors who want him to see themselves without him having to dig out them.
After all, it was Han Zhuoli's face.
"As far as I know, this movie is a clip from your new film "After Sunset" that is currently being released." The host continued, "Then why did you choose this clip to perform? When this film was just released, I went I’ve seen it. The whole film is wonderful and thought-provoking. There are many deeper and more intense scenes, why didn’t you choose them?”
Deng Xu smiled and said: "When I selected this clip, I didn't know that there were friends from Broadway among the judges. I just felt that the students in the exchange group could not understand Chinese. Even if there would be subtitles and translations on the screen, the subtitles alone would not work. Translation cannot translate the subtleties of our language at all. On the contrary, the guests are distracted by having to read the subtitles and cannot focus all their attention on the performance on stage."
"That's why I chose this clip and discussed it with several teachers. I made slight changes to reduce the lines to the minimum and focus on expressions and movements. Even without speaking, these can express another kind of emotion. Language. Moreover, it can also make people focus on their performance." Deng Xu explained.
"Because there are almost no lines, the audience will want to understand their performance and understand what they want to express through their expressions and body language, so that they will naturally become involved. At the same time, it is also true for these students A big challenge.”
"While I was listening, I thought it was very difficult. Because there are no lines, a lot of content needs to be guessed by the audience, and they can be guessed through the students' performances, but they may not be able to guess it correctly. It is very likely that they will be wrong. A misunderstanding of a certain part of the performance will affect the audience's preference for the entire performance. It is very likely that the audience will not like the performance because of the misunderstanding. This is too demanding for students' performances," the host said.
"That's right." Deng Xu nodded, "If you want to achieve good results, then the difficulty of the performance will definitely increase. Fortunately, the students worked hard and did a good job. But most of the difficulty this time, Put it all on Lu Man."
