■ Chen Yanfei learned sign language for three months before filming "Silent", and bluntly said that it is difficult to act in sign language.
In recent years, Taiwanese films have often used new generation actors, such as Wang Jing and Zeng Jinghua in "Back to School" last year, and Fan Shaoxun in "Second Half", and their efforts are obvious to all. This year's more eye-catching new generation of actors can be said to be Chen Yanfei, Liu Ziquan and Jin Xuanbin of "Silent".
Learn sign language for three months
Chen Yanfei, 20 years old this year, has a share of the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actress, and when she was only 18 years old that day, she resolutely applied to the Cultural University for a suspension from school when she took over the filming of "Silent", which worried Chen's mother, who said in an interview earlier: "My mother respects my choice, but also tells me that if she does not want to shoot, she can go home." She became the heroine of the first film, but it is not easy to play the deaf and mute student who has been bullied and sexually assaulted on campus, because of such heavy roles, she is afraid of trapping herself in it, she has struggled not to take the film, and then she feels that it is useless to think too much, it is better to dare to try. Another difficulty is that there is no dialogue throughout the whole process, and it is interpreted by making sign language and expressions.
The crew arranged for the actors to learn sign language for three months before filming, which was quite difficult for newcomers, Chen Yanfei said: "Playing sign language is difficult, like a muscle memory, the intensity of movements and expressions must be coordinated." Less than half a month after filming "Silent", she immediately began filming another film, "Lonely Taste", which also had six Golden Horse nominations, which shows that she has become a sought-after new actor in Taiwan. She studied advertising at university, and may change to film in the future.
■ Liu Ziquan lost more than 10 pounds in a month and a half, and was encouraged by director Ke Zhennian to send wave shoes (small picture).
■ Liu Guanting pointed out that Jin Xuanbin stayed in rehearsal and completely changed his appearance when he was officially shooting.
Liu Ziquan lost 10 pounds
Liu Ziquan, 17 years old this year, is the second generation of stars, the parents are Taiwanese artists Liu Liangzuo and Zhao Xiaoqiao, since childhood by the showbiz circle, he is now studying in taipei Fuxing Senior High School drama class, the previous year's first tv movie "Mother's Remote Control". Starring in "Silent" this time, in addition to learning sign language, he also has to lose more than 10 pounds in a month and a half, and the director sent a pair of shoes as encouragement. As for the other high-profile actor is the Korean child star Kim Hyun-bin, who plays Xiao Guang, who is the first Korean star in the history of the Golden Horse Awards to be shortlisted for the actor award. Only 16 years old, he has made his debut to shoot Korean dramas and Korean films seven years ago, and this time is his first time to rush out of South Korea to shoot Taiwanese films, but unfortunately due to the epidemic situation, he was unable to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in Taiwan. The most distressing thing about Kim Hyun-bin's filming of "Silent" is of course the language communication problem, coupled with the fact that South Korea does not have the habit of "rehearsing the scene", director Ko Jung-nian once said: "It is difficult enough, twice as much time in communication." Although there are many obstacles, Ke Zhennian praised the young Jin Xuanbin for his high requirements for himself, there is a scene where he found that he blinked, the director felt that there was none, and only found out after watching the tape.
Liu Guanting, who just spent his 32nd birthday, played the teacher Wang Dajun in the film, and he exposed the bullying and sexual assault incident in the school, and when he was interviewed earlier, he had bitterly pointed out that Jin Xuanbin had stayed in the rehearsal: "There was a major play, when he was officially filmed, he completely changed his appearance, not that he was put on the road, and he was really scared in his heart at the moment, of course, I still received the play." 」
