I'm just an actor

Chapter 5 Learning
Xu Rong just acted as a spectator from the beginning to the end.

He has a very clear definition of himself as an amateur actor who gets roles beyond his ability through dishonorable means.

Big men like Jiang Wen and Zhang Wanting, even if their heads were beaten into dog heads, he could only hide from a distance and watch the excitement.

He originally thought that one of the two would eventually give in and compromise, but in the middle of the afternoon, Zhang Wanting threw Jiang Wen away and started filming.

"Director, is this appropriate?"

"I'm the director and you are the director?"

After the assistant director was bullied, everyone in the crew saw the situation clearly, and obeyed obediently, or they could learn from Jiang Wen and go to rest in the car.

"Xu Rong, are you ready?" Chen Dong walked over with a tense expression, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Xu Rong nodded and said, "No problem."

Chen Dong seemed to be afraid of getting hurt, so he led Xu Rong and waited aside. After Zhang Fengyi had rested, he walked over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Arrange to see?"

"He's Xu Rong, who plays Fulin." As he spoke, he patted Xu Rong on one side with his hand.

Zhang Fengyi glanced at Xu Rong, quickly put down the water glass, stood up and said, "If you're free, let's start."

Seeing Zhang Fengyi, who was more humble than himself, Xu Rong suddenly understood a truth, the reason why a wrist can become a wrist, in addition to their own professional level, is also a crucial factor in how they behave in the world.

Otherwise, no one would take care of her before she became a wrist.

Zhang Fengyi looked at Xu Rong again, guessing that he was not very old, and asked, "Are you familiar with the words?"

"I know them all by heart."

Xu Rongzi will not be sloppy about this. If he wants to earn money to eat, he must either have strong ability or a good attitude. His professional level is average, so he can only make up for it by his attitude.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go first?"

"Then let's go first!" Seeing his nervous expression, Zhang Fengyi asked with a smile, "Don't be nervous, is this your first filming?"

Xu Rong coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said, "No, but I don't have much experience, if something is wrong, please take care of me, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Fengyi didn't say he was worried about it, nor did he say he wouldn't worry about it, but said: "Let's go and try."

"let's start."

Xu Rong thought for a while, and according to his state of practicing in the hotel, he said slowly: "Uncle Fourteen, you misunderstood, this matter must be done if both Queen Mother and Uncle Fourteen are happy, I am like this want"

Zhang Fengyi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Wait a minute, your pace is too fast, don't worry, take your time."

Xu Rong opened his mouth, and finally just said: "Okay."

"Uncle Fourteen, you have misunderstood. The Empress and Uncle Fourteen are both happy that this must be done."

"It still doesn't work, it's too tense, relax a bit, I'm so anxious for you." Zhang Fengyi saw at this moment that Xu Rong's background was too bad, and his rhythm was messed up.

Seeing that Xu Rong was interrupted twice, he was a little at a loss. Zhang Fengyi knew that he couldn't understand a sentence or two, and said, "Look at me carefully."

He paused for two or three seconds, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he said slowly: "Uncle Fourteen, you have misunderstood, this matter must be done if Queen Mother and Uncle Fourteen are happy , This is what I think, can Uncle Fourteen and Empress Huang Erniang live together in the palace or in the mansion every once in a while, so that it is refreshing to move around from time to time, so as not to be bored."

This time Xu Rong understood what Zhang Fengyi was talking about about the rhythm.

He remembered very clearly that Zhang Fengyi felt a little domineering during the filming just now, but when he said his lines, because he deliberately adjusted the speed of his lines and the interval of pauses in his tone, his senses were completely different from before.

Under the timidity, one can vaguely see a bit of forbearance.

Like a stranger, suddenly rushed to him.

What surprised Xu Rong the most was that Zhang Fengyi didn't have too many expressions on his face, but just listening to him speak, he could roughly feel the positioning of the character. With the distance between the two of them only three or four meters, this kind of The impact appears to be more intense.

After a while, Xu Rongcai bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"It's okay, let's do it again."

"Uncle Fourteen, you misunderstood. This matter must be done if the Queen's Mother and Fourteenth Uncle are happy. This is what I think. Can Fourteenth Uncle and Queen's Mother be in the palace, in the mansion, Live in the same place every once in a while, this way, moving from time to time is also fresh, so you don’t get bored.”

"Hey, that's right, but you don't have to deliberately imitate me, everyone has a different style, sometimes you can express it according to your own ideas."

After the two went through it again, the filming began.

"Start"

"Uncle Fourteen, you misunderstood."

"Card."

"Pass."

Hearing the director's shout, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Zhang Fengyi again: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

If Zhang Fengyi hadn't demonstrated it to him just now, he might not be able to get away with being scolded by Zhang Wanting who was still gloomy.

Only now did he realize that his previous thoughts were too naive. With his current abilities, he could play a passer-by, but it was basically impossible to create a character.

"You're being polite." Zhang Fengyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "However, I feel that you are not suitable for the profession of an actor."

The smile on Xu Rong's face froze for a moment, and he asked subconsciously, "Why did Teacher Zhang say that?"

"I didn't mean to hit you, but I was afraid that you would waste time." Zhang Fengyi pondered for a while before explaining, "You lack the most fundamental thing for an actor, spirituality, which is the kind of spirituality that makes a character come alive. .”

Seeing that Xu Rong's complexion was getting worse and worse, Zhang Fengyi stopped. He didn't mean to hit him, but he knew very well that Xu Rong would never be a good actor in his life, and his upper limit could be seen.

Basic skills are basic skills, and these technical things can be made up for through learning, but Xu Rong's performance is too rigid, even if he stands opposite him, it is difficult to generate empathy.

In the end, Xu Rong forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang, for your guidance."

"What's the matter? Didn't you go through it all over again? Why aren't you in a good mood?" Seeing that Xu Rong had finished filming, Li Qingjie was depressed and joked, "Are you not happy because you didn't have a scene with Mr. Xu?"

"I asked casually at the time, are you serious?" Xu Rong smiled wryly and shook his head, "Mr. Zhang Fengyi just said that I have no spirituality in me, and advised me to change careers as soon as possible."

Li Haojie curled her lips and said, "If you don't have spirituality, you can't be an actor? Let me tell you, someone said that to me before, but what's the matter? If you can't make a lot of money, you can't make a small one? Make money based on your ability, don't be foolish."

"Brother Li, what is spirituality?"

"I can't talk about this thing in detail. Anyway, it looks like it's very real. After all, if I understand you, can you sit here and talk to me?"

Xu Rong's mood was only low for a while, and after seeing a little increase in experience points, he quickly regained his motivation. If he had no spirituality, he would have nothing. He believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely be able to stand out.

"its not right."

Just looking at the sudden increase in experience points, the joy is gradually replaced by doubts. Today, including my own performances and watching other people's performances, there are not many performances in total.

Xu Rong thought for a while, and a guess came up in his mind. He felt that the main reason was the shooting just now. Unlike the previous practice in the hotel alone, he was imitating Zhang Fengyi, especially when Zhang Fengyi himself was guiding.

He seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he couldn't help but jump for joy.

However, whether the guess is right or not can only be known after the experiment, but once he succeeds, he has great confidence to quickly increase the experience value.

After the scene was over, Xu Rong did not go back with Li Weijie, but sat in a corner, took out the script, and carefully considered which part Zhang Fengyi would play.

Although no one was around to correct and guide, after all, there were not many opportunities to see a wrist like Zhang Fengyi demonstrate live.

After Zhang Fengyi's point, he understood that his talent might be much worse than that of actors of the same age. Although the system is powerful, he still needs to accumulate a little bit of experience.

However, he also found that simply imitating others without guidance, the speed of increasing experience points was not as fast as expected.

Until the end of work at 01:30 in the morning, Xu Rong was encouraged by the four experience points added by the system.

At this pace, he estimates that after the filming of this movie is finished, the experience points will probably be accumulated to about 200 points, and the system's comprehensive evaluation should be raised to D level by then.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, why didn't you go back?"

Zhang Fengyi got into the car, looked at Xu Rong who was sitting on the bus, and asked strangely.

Xu Rong made a joke in a moderate way, saying: "I was hit by Teacher Zhang today, and I am not convinced, so I want to learn how you act."

Zhang Fengyi was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly and said: "You boy, this energy is fine."

"Mr. Zhang, do you know each other?" The one who followed into the car was a middle-aged man with a square face who was about the same age as Zhang Fengyi, but he didn't know what the two of them were talking about. Seeing Zhang Fengyi pointing at Xu Rong and laughing, he asked curiously.

Seeing that it was Sun Zhun from the same group, Xu Rong hurriedly got up and said, "Teacher Sun."

Sun Zhun has a Chinese character face, big eyes, and a black peaked cap. Except for his bare head, all the male actors in the crew are clearly prepared.

Zhang Fengyi slumped on the seat, and introduced: "Xiao Xu, Xu Rong, he plays Fulin, you don't know him yet, do you?"

"Teacher Sun just call me Xiao Xu."

Seeing Xu Rong standing there, Sun Zhun smiled and said, "Hi, you don't have to be so polite."

When the car started, Zhang Fengyi suddenly turned his head, looked at Xu Rong who was sitting on the opposite side of the aisle, and asked, "By the way, you said you watched me act, have you figured out anything?"

"I feel that rhythm is more important than expression?!" Xu Rong thought for a while before tentatively saying.

"That's the truth, you can act it out."

"Yes, take a look." Sun Zhun was also tired all day, and now he was just looking for fun and booing from the sidelines.

Xu Rong turned his head to look at the half-trucked people on the bus, and asked, "Now?"

"What's the matter? Acting is for people to watch. Why, you still want to shut yourself in the room and watch it for yourself? That's called working behind closed doors, and you won't grow."

Xu Rong thought for a while, and felt that Zhang Fengyi's words were reasonable, and said: "Then I will imitate your part."

As he said that, he acted out today's scene between Zhang Fengyi and Xu Qing. Because no one acted for him, he only acted in half.

When he finished his performance, Zhang Fengyi sat up a little straighter and said, "It's better than in the afternoon, but I'm still in a hurry. Look, you can't just follow the line 'he doesn't need my advice', you have to grasp it." The important point is to highlight the "pointing" from the whole sentence, and "what he really needs is". You'd better be able to take this half sentence with a small breath, and take the second half of the sentence "it's you" Highlight it, you are shaping the character, you can't tell the story straight, let alone say the lines in a hurry."

"I understand, thank you Teacher Zhang."

"Thank you, you can act well, and when we play together, I can save a lot of things."

"Haha."

Seeing Zhang Fengyi's tired face, Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Teacher Zhang, please rest first."
