I'm just an actor

set.

Kong Datou looked at the girl standing silently in the distance with complicated emotions.

Before this, it had gone NG four times in a row.

Although Liu Heping has written popular works such as "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "The Yongzheng Dynasty", "The Ming Dynasty" and other popular works, it is still a general consensus in the industry that Liu Heping cannot write about women.

Liu Heping is also very clear about his own shortcomings. In each of his works, he tries his best to maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and never uses women and love as the core driving factors of the plot.

This is especially true in "Beiping", where the limited female characters don't have many lines.

Even every female character is extremely unlikeable.

He Xiaoyu initially liked the handsome and talented Liang Jinglun, but gradually began to waver after Fang Meng'ao appeared, and eventually fell in love with Fang Meng'ao.

Xie Mulan was naive, childish and even willful, and she fell hopelessly in love with Liang Jinglun of Zhongzheng Society. For this reason, she fell out with her family and eventually died.

Cheng Xiaoyun is Fang Mengyao's stepmother. She has only a few lines in total. The meaning of her existence is to explain the conflict between the Fang brothers and Fang Buting.

Ye Biyu is a woman from Shanghai, and most of her lines are about complaining that her husband Cui Zhongshi, who is an underground party member, does not earn much money.

Even the concubine of Deputy Director Kong of Yangzi Company, who has no more than ten lines, all her lines show frivolity and domineeringness.

In view of Liu Heping's limited ability to portray women, Kong Datou did not dare to expect the actresses to perform well enough to make the audience like them. He just hoped that they would not be disgusted by the audience.

But Teacher Xiao Zhang did not present the effect he wanted to achieve. She only acted as a female student.

Women who both Liang Jinglun and Fang Mengyao like should not be so thin.

He didn't say a single harsh word, or even a single word of criticism, but she seemed to have been hit hard.

Looking at the figures standing in the field, Kong Datou suddenly felt a little emotional. An ordinary person should not and cannot escape the hardships of life. He must eat all the corresponding hardships at the age when he should endure hardships. Otherwise, after a few years, life will inevitably be very difficult. Return it a hundred times.

It is normal for an actor to be NG. The important thing is to think about how to avoid the next mistake, rather than venting one's emotions wantonly.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same as each other, and no one in the entire film crew was willing to stay up late.

Just turning his head, he felt that his emotion was unnecessary. As Xu Rong's wife, she didn't seem to need to endure hardship.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, the girl walked over quickly, arrived in front of her, and asked expectantly: "Director, can I really not wear the bracelet?"

Kong Datou looked at her in confusion. Although she had made up for it before, she did not insist on the suggestion "I don't recommend wearing it."

He appreciated her ability to listen to others' advice, at least unlike her stubborn husband.

"Is this important?" Kong Datou asked.

Classmate Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I'm not sure, but can I try?"

Kong Datou didn't think about it for too long. He pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's okay, you give it a try."

"Okay, thank you director."

"Prepare, action!"

Xiao Zhang stood in front of the door, raised his chin slightly, raised his hand and knocked on the glass of the door.

"Tuk Tuk."

Kong Datou was keenly aware of the difference. Compared with before, Teacher Xiao Zhang knocked on the door once less, and her movements were briefer.

The door opened, revealing Wang Yongquan's dark face with wrinkled eyes.

There was no expression on the face of classmate Xiao Zhang, and he stared at Wang Yongquan steadily, but doubts and nervousness flashed in his eyes. These emotions only flickered for a moment, and then turned calm.

Because she discovered that the person who opened the door was not the superior who had been contacting her through a single line.

She is just a special party member developed by the Ministry of Urban Affairs, not a spy specially trained to perform special tasks.

Essentially, she is still a college student.

Wang Yongquan looked at her nervous look, and there were a few wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and mouth: "Comrade Liu Yun has left Peiping. I will contact you in the future. Please come in."

Classmate Xiao Zhang looked at him for about two seconds, then slightly nodded his chin twice and walked into the room.

The door was closed, and Kong Datou's voice came immediately.

"cut!"

Kong Datou scratched his big head suspiciously. He couldn't tell whether this section should be passed or not.

While confused, he clicked on the playback.

After looking at it again, he still couldn't decide.

Because Teacher Xiao Zhang is very different from the He Xiaoyu he imagined.

She looked quite confident and her movements were extremely concise. The expression on her face was weak and almost unchanged, but her eyes showed all the emotions she should have.

After watching the replay again, a word came into Kong Datou's mind that he should never have.

Ma'am!

Can He Xiaoyu be a royal sister?
Rationally, it was impossible, but looking at the swan-like woman on the screen, Kong Datou fell silent.

Yes, before that, he had always regarded her as a girl, even though she was already Xu Rong's wife.

But it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that she was a woman.

"Director, director, how are you?" Reality shattered the vocabulary and concepts in Kong Datou's mind to pieces.

Kong Datou looked her up and down and asked curiously: "Why are you acting like this?"

Worried that what he said was not clear enough, he added: "It's just that He Xiaoyu's temperament is very, that's what, how should I put it, just..."

Photography director Sun Molong, who was sitting nearby, listened to Kong Datou's hesitating words and estimated that most of his vocabulary was not good words. A strange smile appeared on his round face and he said: "Very elegant."

"Yes, yes, elegant, elegant." Kong Datou laughed, hiding his embarrassment.

Classmate Xiao Zhang blinked his eyes and said, "Oh, you're talking about this, because I'm actually not particularly good-looking, but since Professor Liang and Fang Mengyao both like me, it must be because I'm different from other female students."

"I remember Teacher Xu once said, 'Movement and stillness are relative, and speed and slowness are also relative. Using this contrast to create characters can easily highlight the character's personality characteristics, and it is easier to create an impact on the audience.' So I just simplified the movements." After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Kong Datou anxiously, "Director, did I act correctly?"

In the past few years, she has played many roles in the theater, but most of them were plays, and they were all small roles. Some of them had more lines, maybe ten or more, while some of them had fewer lines, often only two or three.

"Beiping" is her first female lead role in a major production.

Kong Datou did not say that her acting was right or wrong, but gave a thumbs up and said: "It's very powerful." Because the girl in front of him was one of the few people he knew who knew why she acted like that. And an actress who also knows how to act.

"Haha, thank you director!"

"You're welcome, go prepare the next one."

"Ok."

Xiao Zhang took two steps away. Kong Datou accidentally caught a glimpse of the gold bracelet on her wrist. He subconsciously stopped her and asked, "Teacher Xiao Zhang, wait a minute."

Classmate Xiao Zhang turned his head and looked at him doubtfully: "Well, what's wrong, director?"

Kong Sheng originally wanted to ask Xu Rong if he had ever touched a gold bracelet, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that it was inappropriate, so he said: "Come on!"

"Haha, come on!"

Sun Molong stared at this scene blankly. When Teacher Xiao Zhang walked away, he asked: "What do you want to say?"

Kong Datou squinted his eyes and said uncertainly: "Tell me, will Teacher Xu illuminate that gold bracelet?"

Sun Molong was stunned.

Song Yi, who was watching all this, suddenly had a treasonous idea.

All this time, except for her parents, she never dared to tell anyone that she was Xu Rong's student.

Not because the other person is only two years older than her.

When she first became a student of Teacher Xu in the early days, she was secretly happy for a long time. Sometimes she would lie in bed and play with her mobile phone at night, and she would be entertained for a long time while playing.

At that time, Xu Rong was the most popular actor in the Chinese film and television industry, the director of the Chinese Theater Performance Department, and the deputy captain of the People's Art Actors Team.

As a student, she was honored.

But then everything changed.

He became what everyone calls the "Master", the founder of the Hehe System, and the deputy dean of the People's Arts and Chinese Opera.

He was even selected into the large-scale character documentary "Century Masters" produced by CCTV about modern art masters, and was ranked alongside drama masters such as Ouyang Yuqian, Tian Han, Jiao Juyin, and Jin Shan.

His achievements were so high and his brilliance was so dazzling that everyone took it for granted that as Teacher Xu's first student, even if she couldn't compare to the teacher, she shouldn't be too far behind.

Under the halo, she is always on the edge of the most danger.

It was like a person who had never hosted any event was suddenly pushed onto the stage to host a very large party with an audience of thousands.

She didn't want to disappoint Teacher Xu. She tried her best, but she couldn't meet his requirements no matter what.

She was very aware of Teacher Xu's disappointment. She had tried hard, but everything was meaningless.

Now, she just hopes that no one will pay attention to her title of "Xu Rong's first student" and treat her as an ordinary person, even if she is a little transparent.

She once suspected that she was really stupid and her talent was really poor.

Today, looking at Little Sister Zhang whose temperament changed dramatically after putting on the bracelet, Song Yi suddenly realized a cruel reality.

Maybe you are not the one with the problem!
But the teacher’s teaching level is limited!
Otherwise, why didn’t Sister Zhang become popular before?
In terms of performance theory and practice, Feng Yuanzheng is indeed not as good as Mr. Xu.

But if it comes to teaching skillfully, Teacher Xu’s level seems to be hard to describe.

Because the suggestion to buy the gold bracelet was given by Feng Yuanzheng, the effect was immediate.

But Teacher Xu, apart from asking himself to read more and practice his Qi, voice and body day after day, he never gave any other effective advice.

There had never been a moment when her doubts about Teacher Xu were so profound that she had the intention of betraying the teacher.

It was already 11:30 when Xu Rong returned to the hotel.

After settling Liu Heping, he did not go back to rest immediately.

He has one more important thing.

Knocking on Cheng Yu's door and seeing his listless appearance, Xu Rong smiled and said, "How are you, brother, are you feeling better?"

Cheng Yu smiled dryly, but without making a sound, he stepped aside and invited Xu Rong into the room.

Cheng Yu already knew Xu Rong's personality, and he made a joke about taking him to the hospital this morning, so he stopped hiding it and said, "Teacher Luo said he would take me to the hospital this morning. In fact, I'm not sick at all, and I'm not afraid of your jokes if I tell you. I was the first to be hit by you yesterday."

"As an actor, I have filmed so many movies and been on stage so many times. In fact, I can't say that I don't have a little bit of arrogance, because I can pat my chest and say that many people are not as good at acting as me."

"But..." Cheng Yu didn't say any more. They were both involved in the incident, and there was no need to explain the details clearly. Moreover, he was still a little embarrassed, "I was really shocked. I have used this trick for decades, but you learned it in a long time. If it weren’t for my past achievements, I wouldn’t have dared to act in front of you.”

Xu Rong listened and nodded from time to time. When Cheng Yu finished speaking, he thought for a while and asked, "Brother, what do you think of my talent?"

Cheng Yu nodded without hesitation and said, "Very good. Among the people I have met, you are almost in the top ten."

Xu Rong choked back what he said as he was completely caught off guard by Cheng Yu.

Because according to what the other party said, his talent could only be okay, because what he said about "top ten" was not too firm, and it vaguely meant "possible, but probably not likely".

"Have you ever seen anyone with more talent than me?"

Cheng Yu's eyes widened: "No, brother, that's an understatement. Some children, my god, that aura can be heard by just listening to the voice, let alone their eyes."

Seeing that he didn't seem to agree, Cheng Yu said: "As for you, your talent is indeed not bad, but those people I mentioned have either gone through the wrong ways, or relied on their talent to take advantage of it. You are also a theoretical person, and you should know that talent is not lifelong. An iron rice bowl is like a boat sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. It will gradually wear away over time."

Xu Rong does not deny this. The seven powers and four senses are not static. The one who impressed him the most was his classmate Yang Mi. He almost watched her aura gradually wear away little by little. Now, she has become a fast food artist. .

Realizing that the topic had strayed a little too far, Xu Rong quickly brought it back and asked, "Then what do you think our talents compare to each other?"

"It's hard to say, but it's more or less the same."

Seeing that Cheng Yu finally followed the routine, Xu Rong said with a smile: "I can imitate you because of my talent. I don't know if you have noticed that although I use the same method of acting, my physical expression is better than that of others." You are far behind. This is because our talents are different. Yesterday I was just like, I can't do 'yes', let alone surpass you."

In his mind he added silently, it was just yesterday.

Cheng Yu said doubtfully: "Co-authorship, is that what it is?"

He thought Xu Rong had restored his own unique skills through skill.

"Otherwise, you belong to God to feed you, and others can't learn from you!"

"Hahaha." Cheng Yu laughed and waved his hands, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But when Xu Rong returned to the room and watched classmate Xiao Zhang's play tonight, she was immediately embarrassed. (End of chapter)
