It seems that Feng Xiaoyun has his own ideas. After all, Guo Liangcai still highly recognizes Feng Xiaoyun's talent. He nodded and waited for him to continue. Feng Xiaoyun took the script and asked Yi Xiaoxing: "How do you think it works?"
“I remember about one-fifth of it.”
Guo Liangcai raised his eyebrows when he heard this. From the time he called Feng Xiaoyun until now, it was only a little over an hour, but he could already remember one-fifth of his lines. If he was not lying, then his ability to memorize lines was much better than many young actors. At least he didn't need Goose Buddha to do the dubbing in the later stage.
"Okay, tell me about this part, using the feeling I taught you that day in that noodle shop."
"Here?" Yi Xiaoxing looked at the place Feng Xiaoyun pointed, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were critical and disgusted, just like the bowl of pig intestine noodles with pig intestines dropped on the ground that day.
"The alkaline noodles are not rinsed with cold water, so the noodles are full of alkaline taste; the fish balls don't taste fishy either, but to cover it up, you add curry sauce and try to make it curry fish balls. But this is so naive!"
Guo Liangcai's eyes lit up. This was quite interesting. Just now he just asked him what he could do, but it turned out that this kid had no common sense about acting at all, so he was so angry. But now, it seemed that there was something, but he couldn't put his finger on the specific feeling.
Since no one called for a stop, Yi Xiaoxing didn't know how much more to say, so he continued pointing at the script as if he were pointing at a bowl of curry fish balls and said, "You clearly didn't cook it long enough. The curry flavor is all on the surface and hasn't penetrated into the soup at all. And then it's completely diluted in the soup. You made a perfect curry fish ball with neither fish flavor nor curry flavor. Failure!"
"Stop!" Guo Liangcai called for a pause, then said, "Say your last sentence again! It's about that curry fish ball."
Yi Xiaoxing nodded: "It was a good curry fish ball, but you made it with neither fish taste nor curry taste. Failure!"
"Interesting!" Guo Liangcai realized something at this time. Although Yi Xiaoxing seemed to be reciting the lines seriously, he always felt like laughing.
"Is that so?" Feng Xiaoyun was also a little proud. Yi Xiaoxing's performance was not his way of performing, but was innate to him.
Feng Xiaoyun noticed that day that he had this feeling when communicating with the noodle shop owner. He was the person most suitable for nonsensical comedy.
"I call this wulitou!" Feng Xiaoyun explained to Guo Liangcai, "It's a Cantonese phrase. It basically means that this person's words and actions are always unexpected, but you still think they make sense."
"Didn't you say last time that this play has too many densely packed lines and that it would make the audience feel rushed?"
Guo Liangcai nodded. The camera language of a film is not just the lines. The actors' expressions, actions and scenery together form a picture. The lines are often a form of advancement. The number of lines in Feng Xiaoyun's script is obviously much more than that of a normal script. One of his last modification suggestions was to delete some lines and add some scenes.
"Lots of lines and a fast pace are what this movie needs most," Feng Xiaoyun patiently explained to the two of them:
"I wanted to use such a fast pace that the audience would have little time to think, almost nothing. This way, the audience would be trapped in a maze of visual and auditory stimulation. They would not have the opportunity to conduct necessary logical analysis and reasoning, so our bizarre and illogical gimmicks would make them feel that they were reasonable when they watched the movie."
Yi Xiaoxing was confused after hearing this. Who am I? Why should I be here listening to you say this? If you don’t want me to be the leading actor, how many orders have I been able to deliver since breakfast this morning?
Guo Liangcai fell into deep thought. Nowadays, comedy films basically have a fixed form.
Directors prefer to add humorous and comedic moments to a more logical main plot, incorporating elements from other genres to enhance their commercial appeal. For example, science fiction and romance rely heavily on humorous actions and language to propel the plot forward.
What Feng Xiaoyun is doing today is creating a new form, illogical, illogical!
Guo Liangcai muttered a few words to himself, then said with some surprise, "So, you want to reject rationality and deliver illogical jokes to the audience at a fast pace, densely packed with them, creating a barrage of jokes one after another."
"In this way, while enjoying the film, the audience loses their logic and rationality, passively follows the rhythm of the percussion and enters the prescribed scenes of the film, forgetting themselves, and thus feeling extremely relaxed, and then being amused by you."
"Awesome! Brother Cai!" Feng Xiaoyun exclaimed in praise. With just a few words, he was able to analyze so many key points. It seemed that Guo Liangcai had spent ten years sharpening his sword and had really put in a lot of effort.
"No, it's you who's awesome!" Guo Liangcai looked at Feng Xiaoyun with a look of admiration. While others were still seeking breakthroughs in one field after another, Feng Xiaoyun had created a new field by himself.
"You have created a new film genre? What did you call it just now? Nonsense?" Although the name is a bit difficult to pronounce, Guo Liangcai just feels it is impressive.
In this way, Guo Liangcai understood many of the lines in the play at once, combined with Yi Xiaoxing's performance just now.
