I'm just an actor

Chapter 84 Interview
Teacher Xu: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhang: "Lying on the bed, Mr. Xu, isn't my new avatar cute?"

Teacher Xu: "It's cute, I feel like I have a new girlfriend."

Xiao Zhang: "Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm talking to you seriously. Wait, Mr. Xu, aren't you filming?"

Seeing classmate Xiao Zhang bouncing towards him, Xu Rong showed a happy smile for the first time in ten days.

"Teacher Xu."

Classmate Xiao Zhang came to the front, raised his head, and after shouting, he looked at him with a smile, as if he couldn't speak.

She didn't ask him why he stopped filming all of a sudden. She knew that with Mr. Xu's seriousness in filming, if he didn't shoot, something unpleasant must have happened.

Junior.

Before you know it, half of the university is over in a blink of an eye.

Compared with the past, during class, there are a lot fewer students in the classroom.

Xu Rong put too much pressure on him.

If everyone stayed in school honestly and studied, they wouldn't feel any comparison, but Xu Ronghong's behavior was too early and too sudden, so they had to find ways to put their minds outside of school.

No one can be an ostrich, especially Xu Rong, who came back to class after a while, and dangled back and forth in front of their eyes. They couldn't ignore his existence, and they couldn't avoid him when they chatted.

"Teacher, if I want to create a character that doesn't match my age, is there any more effective way?" Xu Rong blocked Teacher Liu who had just finished class in the corridor.

Seeing that Mr. Liu didn't seem to hear, he added: "For example, husband and father."

This is a deficiency he realized during filming. Skill is no longer his shortcoming, but the lack of cognition is irreparable.

Just like Li Xuejian used to pull the corners of his mouth down to express "ruthlessness", which was beyond his cognitive boundaries.

What he felt right now was like he had worked so hard to learn how to sneak a medium-sized truck in a driving school. After several hardships, he finally got a B license, but the deposit in the bank only allowed him to buy a QQ for transportation.

Teacher Liu is tall, 50 to [-] years old, with a round face, looking at Xu Rong standing in front of him, with a helpless expression on his face.

He said without hesitation: "You have to observe more."

"I observed it, but I still can't do it for some reason." Xu Rong nodded and said in doubt, "Ms. Zhou said it wasn't like it before, and every time I watch the replay after shooting, I always feel that I don't have the same meaning. .”

Teacher Liu smiled and explained habitually: "It means that your observation is not detailed enough. Every character is composed of many details. There are subtle differences in different age groups."

It's right here waiting for you.

Xu Rong silently took out the notebook hidden behind him, pressed the tail with his cheek, and flicked out the pen tip, and said hopefully: "Then, Teacher Liu, why don't we find a place to talk in detail?"

Teacher Liu's barely maintained smile immediately collapsed, and he slapped his forehead, suddenly said: "Ah, I still have a class, you wait, I will contact you when I am free after class."

As he said that, he squeezed Xu Rong away and walked away.

That has to be discussed in detail, once you accept it, you won't be able to get it in ten days and a half months.

Who doesn't know, this guy Xu Rong is going to act on the spot, if the acting is wrong, you have to correct him, otherwise you can't just watch the child make mistakes and pretend not to see it.

Although during the holidays, Xu Rong would come to sit and sit with gifts, but if this job is accepted, it will be really terrible.

Looking at the back of Mr. Liu striding forward, Xu Rong sighed helplessly. He really needs a middle-aged acting teacher who can guide him hand in hand.

Can he not know to observe life?

But what you observe is always limited, and since middle-aged acting teachers are different, they understand theory and have practical experience. The key is that the other party is a teacher, so he doesn't have to owe so much favor.

Furthermore, the other party itself is a living teaching material. If you see that the existing skills don't work, you can ask for advice on the spot. It couldn't be more convenient.

Although it is still early to start filming the next film, he already has a rough plan in mind.

In the next two months, he will have to win one or two middle-aged male teachers. Age and experience have become the biggest shackles in the improvement of his professional ability.

In fact, in his previous idea, the most suitable one was Huang Jiake, but this relatively responsible teacher went to filming, and Zhou Yiwei also mentioned that people avoid him when they accept the film.

As for film and television materials, although it is also within his consideration, film and television itself is a secondary creation of life materials, processed by other actors, all have different personal styles, no one guides, and it is difficult for him to judge Appropriate or not.

Carrying the notebook, I went back to the classroom. When I entered the door, I happened to meet Xiao Zhang, who was sleepy.

It was too late to chat yesterday, and she suffered from insomnia again.

Holding the notebook in one hand, Xu Rong saw that she was like a defeated rooster, listlessly lowering her head, rubbing her eyes, and rubbing her small head smoothly.

Xiao Zhang took two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned her head suddenly, and found that it was Teacher Xu, she pursed her mouth, turned her head and walked towards the toilet.

This scene happened to fall in the sight of Yuan Shanshan, who was eating melon seeds. She was grinning and throwing the melon seeds she had just eaten into a plastic bag in the desk drawer, but she saw Xu Rong and Zhang Xiaofei After the staggered and outdated interaction between people, I suddenly felt that the five-spice melon seeds in my mouth were not fragrant at all.

Bah, dogs and men!
In broad daylight, not ashamed.

"Ms. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, wait for me, I will show you a good baby."

"Xu Rong, your teacher's wife has prepared dinner and wait for me to go back. I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later." A tall, thin middle-aged teacher was carrying a black handbag, and rushed to the school to park without looking back. field.

Xu Rong sighed again, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, the cause of the day, the result of today.

But the whole picture can be seen at a glance, no wonder the school's evaluation from the outside world is not as good as that of the Chinese opera, and the style of study really needs to be improved.

"Mr. Xu, what do you want to ask?" Seeing that Teacher Xu didn't catch up, Xiao Zhang came back with a embarrassed face, wondering.

Seeing Teacher Xu's palm approaching, she handed over her little hand and interlocked her fingers.

Although it's summer, it's a bit hot, but I feel so happy, I haven't seen you for ten days.

Xu Rong smiled wryly, and said, "Something about practice."

"Oh." She nodded and said, "The head teacher said that we will cooperate with the director department in a stage play at the end of the semester. Teacher Xu, do you sign up?"

Xu Rong shook his head without thinking, he happened to be filming at that time.

"What's for dinner today?" Xu Rong asked with a smile as he looked at Xiao Zhang, who was alive and well immediately after class.

Xiao Zhang had already thought about it, so he said without thinking, "Let's go eat Malatang? Teacher Xu, let me tell you, a restaurant just opened last semester. It's delicious. I eat it every week. Go eat once."

"Row."

Xiao Zhang walked for a while, suddenly tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and said, "Mr. Xu, I remember you are younger than me, right?"

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, he had never thought so before, and always subconsciously felt that he was older, but to be reasonable, Xiao Zhang was indeed one year older than him, so he wondered: "Why did you mention this suddenly? "

Classmate Xiao Zhang grabbed his hand and said expectantly: "Then can you stop calling me Xiao Zhang?"

Xu Rong smiled gently. He knew that since she said that, she must have other suggestions in her heart, such as baby, wife and so on.

But isn't progress a little too fast?
But he had also met Xiao Zhang's parents, so it wasn't too soon.

"Mr. Xu, can you call me sister in the future?" Xiao Zhang said, scratching his palm quietly, with no concealment of excitement on his face.

Xu Rong's smile froze for a moment, and he squinted at her and said, "When was the last time you were beaten?"

What do you pretend to be in your mind every day?
"hey-hey."

Arriving at the new store that Xiao Zhang mentioned, after the two of them sat down, classmate Xiao Zhang suddenly raised his hands, put them in front of him, and looked at them with a frown.

"What's the matter? Didn't wash in the toilet?" Xu Rong's joke was halfway through, and he stopped himself again. They just came here holding hands all the way.

Xiao Zhang seemed a little embarrassed, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, you won't be able to hold hands after eating."

Xu Rong listened, smiled, frowned, stretched her foot under the table, and touched her ankle.

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then grinned, and rubbed his foot against Teacher Xu's ankle. He couldn't hold hands, but he could hold hands, hahahahaha.

"I heard that a crew is coming for an interview recently, are you going?"

During the break between classes, Yuan Shanshan took out melon seeds, poured a small pile for the two roommates and Xu Rong, and asked.

Yang Mi asked for leave, and Yuan Shanshan always looked at Xu Rong long, and looked at Xu Rong short, which annoyed her.

Xu Rong shook his head, came to Nortel to find an actor, and knew the purpose without even thinking about it.

In fact, in comparison, Nortel's style of study is not very good. If you really want to recruit actors, you should go to Chinese opera.

Come to school, a must-have idol drama.

Because in the art test, Nortel set a relatively high threshold for the appearance of the students.

He looked at Xiao Zhang and saw her nodding like a chick pecking rice. While shaking his head, he pushed the melon seeds poured by Yuan Shanshan to Xiao Zhang's classmate.

He doesn't like eating these little snacks very much.

Classmate Xiao Zhang glanced at it, didn't pay much attention, then turned to look at Yuan Shanshan and said, "When is it?"

"next Saturday."

Xu Rong didn't listen to the chats of several people, but called out the system.

Acting training system
Name: Xu Rong

Expression: A
Lines: B
Limbs: B
Eyes: B
Rhythm: A
Comprehensive evaluation: B+
Experience Points: 34/100
Glory value: 0/100
Trait: Baji Master (unmounted) Baji Introduction (Analysis progress: 55%)

"Forgiveness" was filmed for nine and a half days, and the experience value increased by 3 points, which is almost the same as none. The analysis of the traits also stagnated because the popularity of "New Shanghai Beach" was completely replaced by "Golden Wedding".

But he wasn't too disappointed, because the filming of "Forgiveness" was stopped, there was enough time left, and he could also have plenty of free time to prepare for the next scene.

After all, he is still male.

At the same time, it is also his attempt to open up his play.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly felt that classmate Xiao Zhang was under the desk, secretly clenched his small fist and slammed his hand, thinking that she was going to hold hands again, so he smiled, stretched out his palm, and handed it over.

But different from what he thought, Xiao Zhang didn't put his palm on it, but poured a bunch of small things into his palm.

He froze for a moment, looked down, and saw a small handful of peeled melon seeds.

"hey-hey."

Classmate Xiao Zhang turned his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

Xu Rong also laughed, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, after all, Xiao Zhang has been peeling it for a long time.

He raised his hand, poured the melon seeds into his mouth, chewed them carefully, swallowed them, and said, "It's delicious."

"Pa, bah, let me tell you, this time, I have to"

Just as Yuan Shanshan stuffed another melon seed between her teeth, she caught a glimpse of Xu Rong and Zhang Xiaofei's small movements, frowned slightly, and paused for a moment. After she understood what was going on, her mouth and eyes gradually distorted, and she slowly took a breath, biting Grinding his teeth, he said, "You two are really good."

Damn old lady's five-spice melon seeds are no longer fragrant!
She swore that if Xu Rongfan was in school, if there were more melon seeds in her schoolbag, she would be inhuman.

After Xu Rong returned to school for a few classes, he started skipping classes.

Because he found that what the teacher said was what he had learned before, and the teacher who taught at that time was more detailed than in the classroom.

He adjusted his plan, went shopping during the day and played computer games at night.

She didn't bring classmate Xiao Zhang with her when she went shopping, so she still had to go to class.

There is no definite purpose either, so it doesn't matter where you go, if you see something interesting, you can either squat or stand, and look carefully for a while.

When the subject of observation left, he got up and continued to wander aimlessly, his face under the mask constantly imitating the expression of the previous observer.

At night, when he returned to the dormitory, he turned on the computer and watched the film and television materials frame by frame.

The strategy teacher's plan has been put on hold for more than half, and he is going to change the method. If it starts from scratch, it will be a very difficult job for any teacher, which is time-consuming and energy-consuming.

His plan is to make some large samples by himself first, and then take them to ask whether it is suitable or not.

In that case, it only takes one, two, and 10 minutes at a time, and the teachers will not refuse it if they think about it.

He has to slowly change the teachers' impression of him, and he can no longer be as obsessed as before, wishing to bald his wool once caught.

Ask one or two for 10 minutes at a time, no more than one hour at most.

To sum it up, take small steps and run fast.

And he made up his mind that he couldn't keep asking one teacher, he had to take turns, so that each teacher felt that Xu Rong only asked this once or twice a week, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

At the beginning, it was still the same as usual, and it still hit a wall everywhere.

But since the first teacher who ate crabs appeared, Xu Rong found that his reputation in the teacher's mouth gradually improved.

There was even an old professor who couldn't see it, so he found some free time and commented on him severely: "Study steadily, how serious were you before? You can't stop learning if you feel popular!"

While observing more carefully how middle-aged men behave at home, he took time to have a meal with Li Youbin and chatted about his thoughts,

After hearing this, Li Youbin didn't realize that Xu Rong himself came here to observe, but instead advised him not to live in such a twisted way, and let the time pass by and let it go.

To sum it up is a hasty calculation.

But Xu Rong didn't take it to heart. He was still young, and he hadn't reached the time when he realized that "just let it go and let it go." In the past two weeks, he observed many people of all kinds, men and women. , old and young.

Among them, the one that impressed him the most was the day when he left Wang Qingxiang's house after eating.

On the street, a man in his forties, wearing a suit, called his mother in public: Mom, I received 13 orders today, and then I have to socialize. I can only go home after sending them off, Mom, I’m so tired, I don’t want to make money anymore.

A middle-aged man in his 40s cried like a child in front of so many people.

The surroundings were the same as Xu Rong's, many people who passed by stopped, but no one had a smile on their faces, and no one had a joke in their hearts.

Xu Rong couldn't laugh either, how could time pass by and forget it?
Forget it, he might have to cry on the street someday.

On the day of Xiao Zhang's interview, he didn't go out to hang out anymore.

The result was not so good, and classmate Xiao Zhang didn't show any face.

But looking at Xiao Zhang, she didn't mind much, because over the past year, she had interviewed more than a dozen film crews in various ways, except for the low-cost "Horseback Bank", all of which failed.

She is used to being rejected, and compared to many sensitive girls, she is more open-minded, and probably never takes it to heart.

It's just that after the interview and back to school, she talked a little more than usual.

"Mr. Xu, the weather is fine today."

"Mr. Xu, why did you go to class yesterday when you didn't go to class?"

"Ms. Xu, do you think my lipstick looks good today?"

"Mr. Xu, am I more suitable for short hair?"

"Teacher Xu"

Xu Rong stopped, turned her head, and looked at Xiao Zhang suspiciously. She talked too much today.

Xiao Zhang looked at him in astonishment, with his mouth open: "What's the matter, Teacher Xu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Rong looked carefully at classmate Xiao Zhang, saw the smile on her face gradually dissipating, and asked, "What happened?"

"Wow."

Caught off guard, classmate Xiao Zhang threw himself into his arms, crying loudly.

Xu Rong froze for a moment, patted her on the back lightly, without saying a word.

After waiting for a while, classmate Xiao Zhang choked up: "I'm choked up. I just went in and choked up. The producer choked up. He pointed at me and asked: Do you feel your face is choked up? What's the problem?"

"Mr. Xu, I feel like a drawer of steamed stuffed buns in my hometown in winter. They are cold as soon as they come out of the pan. No one wants them. Huh, huh."

Xu Rong listened and patted her on the back lightly, feeling a little panicked in her heart, similar to when she saw that scene on the street a few days ago, but at this time, she felt more empathetic.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, who said no one wants it, Teacher Xu wants it."

"Cough." Xiao Zhang was sobbing, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red with tears, but he grinned again, "Hey."

At night, after sending classmate Zhang back to the dormitory, Xu Rong hesitated for a long time before picking up the phone.

"Hey, Director Jiang, it's me, Xu Rong."

"Yes, I read the script, it's pretty good, yes yes yes, I'll take it."

"Salary? Salary is not a problem."

"That's right, I have a suitable candidate for the role of Cuiping."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Rongchang sighed, turned out a script again, glanced at it, and picked up the phone again.

"Hey, hey Director Liu, it's me, Xu Rong, right, right, right."

"What? The script needs to be overhauled? That's fine. Excuse me. We will cooperate again when we have a chance."

"Hey, it's not hanging up."

"what type is it?"

"Then Director Liu, please email me the outline, and I'll give you an answer after reading it."
