I'm just an actor

Chapter 86 Chatting
Li Xuejian watched Xu Rong complete a scene with the sleepwalking Li Gen, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you moved by your own performance?"

Xu Rong said nothing, just shook his head slightly, and looked at the teacher without blinking. He knew that he would definitely explain next.

"A good actor, don't be afraid to expose your weaknesses, and don't expose your weaknesses on purpose, and treat your nasty as a confession. The audience's evaluation is external. You can respect or thank you, but acting is not something that makes people feel rare and sustenance. Hope, don’t lose objective and rational aesthetics.”

"Audience is of all kinds, wandering people, nervous people, anxious people, people who are not rich and only watch TV at home all day long, people who are self-interested, comfort-oriented, labor-oriented, and meditation-oriented, Unexpected thresholds will be encountered at any time, so the 'performance' must be shown in good faith, even puppies need petting, let alone people? If you can't perform petting, at least you must have a heart that is willing to pet."

Li Xuejian can see that Xu Rong has a solid foundation in terms of skills, but because the character is a little older than him, he always wants to forcefully express what he knows when acting, and some characters and He subconsciously concealed his own commonality.

Li Gen glanced at Xu Rong, and saw that Xu Rong was silent, and groaned: "My dad, ever since he passed the threshold of fifty, he feels that he always has a lot to say to others all day long. You just happen to be getting old, so listen more." .”

He recently had the idea of ​​becoming a director, but he didn't know how to act, so whenever Xu Rong came over, he would listen to it.

He didn't think there was anything great about his father, but he admired Xu Rong, who was only a few months older than him, and had already become one of the competitors for the new top four students.

Li Xuejian smiled, but did not refute his son's complaint, and said, "Don't fall into the 'sense of mission' given by the script. The stronger the sense of mission in the performance, the less artistic and ornamental the resulting effect may be."

Seeing that Xu Rong and his son don't know much, he explained: "Let's talk about rhythm. If the actor's language rhythm is too fast, the audience will not be able to digest it, and the 'picture' will not be formed naturally. If the rhythm is slow, the audience will not be able to digest it. The "picture" will disappear automatically, and there will be no concrete feeling. Watching and watching will make you tired, and the attention of appreciation will be easily weakened. An actor's ability to convey feelings is accurate enough, and the pictures and feelings provided to the audience are also accurate. Just to be precise, this requires you to put your heart and soul into the performance, grasp the emotions of the characters, sink in, don't think about surprising people, and don't suppress your nature."

"Age is not a hindrance. I have seen your filming of the Ming Dynasty before. Ni Dahong played a very good role. You may feel that he is not that old, but during the conversation, he became older."

"When you were filming "Forgiveness", I watched the clips you sent me, and the overall feeling is not very good, at least not as good as "New Shanghai Beach" and "Night". At those times, when you arrived on the set every morning, you could It makes people feel the vitality of "World, here I come!", I really like your energy, I didn't have your enthusiasm when I was young, but when you filmed "Forgiveness", it seemed that the world told you 'Here we come!', acting and acting, exhausting myself."

"Uta Hagen said that an actor is to satisfy the screenwriter, director, boss, and all staff members. They tire themselves out like dogs and don't complain. If you feel uncomfortable, that's what you have to think about after the filming is over. Son, but don't delay the show."

Xu Rong nodded first, pondered for a while, and then said: "I feel that I can express it, but I still can't understand emotions. I know the result, but I don't know the reason, so I can feel it myself. Something is missing."

"When you see someone crying, you should care about them, and you will know why by the way. When you hear what happened to someone, you should take care of them, understand them yourself, and then you will know a little more. The key is to really do it. There will be a more real experience, if you are not very good at caring about others, at least you have to make subjective guesses and put yourself in the situation, so that you can learn another kind of objective emotional expression."

Listening to Li Xuejian's words, Xu Rong seemed to understand, but when he saw the recorder on the table, he felt relieved. This is a habit he has developed recently. What Li Xuejian said contains a lot of information, and some of them require him to look back. He could only understand it after thinking about it carefully, but he couldn't remember everything after a row of one or two hours.

After obtaining Li Xuejian's consent, he simply bought a recording pen and went back to ponder over it.

In the process of preparing for the play, Xu Rong still has two things to do. One is to reduce his figure. He is 1.8 meters tall and now weighs [-] kilograms. For the next role, he is a little stronger .

He is ready to lose 65 kg.

The method is very simple. When filming "The Ming Dynasty", Huang Zhizhong personally demonstrated that he would not eat at night, eat only an apple, run ten kilometers a day, and lose weight in half a month.

The other thing is to help Xiao Zhang build up his self-confidence.

As for whether Xiao Zhang can become a good actor, he is actually not sure, he has a sense of drama, but he is not confident enough.

Performance first builds self-confidence, even if you play a beggar, you need self-confidence, just like fighting a bayonet with others, if you don’t have the faith to go forward, no matter how good your skills are, in the eyes of the audience, there will always be a lack of essence. Excited.

Xiao Zhang used to have this kind of self-confidence, but after entering university, this kind of self-confidence gradually disappeared.

On the playground, Xu Rong ran a few laps and stopped in front of Xiao Zhang who was waiting on the side.

Xiao Zhang pulled the schoolbag off her back, first took out a towel and handed it over, and when Xu Rong wiped off her sweat, she took out a black thermos from inside.

Xu Rong took two sips and asked abruptly, "Xiao Zhang, can you dance for me?"

Classmate Xiao Zhang was stunned. She has learned dance since she was a child, and later went to the People's Republic of China to study dance. There is no problem in dancing.

But Mr. Xu mentioned it too suddenly. Although there were not many people passing by early in the morning, it was embarrassing for people to dance in the playground.

Classmate Xiao Zhang held the schoolbag, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Mr. Xu, let's find a remote place?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Rong to let her find a corner where no one was around, so she simply stretched her legs apart without any image, and sat down on the ground: "I don't care, I want to see it now."

"But. But"

Seeing Xiao Zhang staring at him in amazement, he smiled and said, "Just for a while, okay?"

Student Xiao Zhang bit his lip, looked up and looked around, and said after a while, "Okay."

"Huh."

Probably Xiao Zhang probably wanted to show off, and after a bit of movement, he kicked Zijinguan upside down.

But this action caused some discordant thoughts to appear in Xu Rong's mind.

He hurriedly threw these out of his mind, the business was important.

Classmate Xiao Zhang danced for about 5 minutes, panted slightly and stopped, turned his head, looked at him with a reddish face and quite anxiously.

Xu Rong clapped her hands and said, "It's pretty, especially pretty, Xiao Zhang, let's discuss something, and show me how to dance often in the future, okay?"

Student Xiao Zhang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he nodded his chin vigorously: "Okay."

"But what, look over there, everyone is applauding you, which means you dance very well." Xu Rong pointed to not far away, on the side of the road, a dozen students were looking at this side, Applause desperately.

Among them was a boy who made a trumpet shape with his hands: "It's so beautiful!"

Xu Rong smiled, but in her heart she scolded Li Xiaobing a bit, this guy is a bit too unreliable, the agreed 1000 yuan will definitely attract thirty people to come over and applaud strongly.

But he also found something different. Xiao Zhang is very confident when dancing, but not very confident when performing.

"Xiao Zhang, your sense of drama is the best actress I have ever seen. Your acting skills and emotions are also top-notch in our age group. It is very delicate. Many times I feel that I can't compare with it." On the way to the dormitory, Xu Rong began to lose his conscience, "Actually, I think the reason why you can't get the show is because you are not confident enough. Think about your state when you were dancing just now."

Xiao Zhang grabbed him with surprise on his face: "Really, Teacher Xu?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?!" Xu Rong spoke sincerely and earnestly.

But when he was talking, another woman, Song Jia, could not help appearing in his mind.

That guy's sense of drama is really explosive.

The sense of drama is equivalent to a special kind of converter. Some people convert very well, and their every move makes people look very natural and resembling. How can I do it.

When this transformation reaches a certain level, it can be summed up in spirituality. Basically, I don’t say anything, just stop there, and you feel that I am, not like, such as Zhou Xun.

Every actor has more or less a sense of drama. Xiao Zhang's sense of drama is quite good, but to say that he is comparable to Song Jia is an exaggeration.

But in order to build Xiao Zhang's performance confidence, Xu Rong is not going to lose face anyway.

"By the way, Xiao Zhang, is the second-best roommate in your dorm still single? I have a friend who is still single, do you want to introduce her?" Xu Rong asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

Xiao Zhang is a girl, so naturally she doesn't care about who is the second favorite, so she subconsciously asked, "Who is the first favorite?"

"You."

Classmate Xiao Zhang laughed twice, and subconsciously tightened her hand with Teacher Xu. She knew that she was not a pretty girl, but her favorite Teacher Xu said so, which made her feel so warm in her heart.

After walking for a while, she suddenly tilted her head, looked at Xu Rong, and said quietly, "Mr. Xu, I have a small request."

When she was speaking, the other empty hand was held between the two people's eyes, and the thumb and forefinger seemed to be holding a piece of candy, as if only in this way could Xu Rong understand more accurately, and it seemed to be covering up her own shy.

Xu Rong looked at her sneaky expression like a kitten trying to steal the bait, and asked, "What request?"

Classmate Xiao Zhang smiled, his eyes sparkling, but he seemed a little embarrassed: "That's right. I just want to like Teacher Xu more."

"Read and approved."

"Haha. Goose Goose." Xiao Zhang was probably too happy, and her laughter unknowingly turned sour, but also because of this, she didn't realize it.

After walking for a while, she finally made another request, saying, "Mr. Xu, can I touch it?"

She said, pointing to the muscles in his arms.

Xu Rong noticed it early in the morning, because she was always wearing short sleeves recently, but she kept staring at it without saying a word, and smiled and pushed the sleeves to her shoulders: "Come here."

Classmate Xiao Zhang looked like a thief, lowered his head and quickly glanced around. Then, as if stroking a work of art, he put his palm on his arm, scrubbed it twice, and finally squeezed it with his little finger. .

"hey-hey."

Xu Rong didn't go to class with her. Li Xuejian had a performance today, and he was going to arrest the school teacher.

I can't be idle. Most of the recent learning content is less involved in the past. His experience value has increased even more than during the filming period, reaching 45 points.

On the other hand, unlike when he was in Yangcheng before, his professional level has improved. In many cases, Li Xuejian had to show him in person, so that he can feel it for himself.

"That guy has some real skills, but he's a little timid, haha."

This is Li Xuejian's evaluation of the actor he will work with next.

In the middle of the night, after Xu Rong caught Xiao Zhang and praised him fiercely, Xiao Zhang suddenly said: Thank you, Teacher Xu.

Xu Rong understood what she meant, but didn't say much, and typed a few words: "It's time to pack up and go to bed."

Student Zhang: "Yes."

Teacher Xu: "Is that all?"

Xiao Zhang: "What's the matter, Teacher Xu?"

Teacher Xu: "In the future, remember to say good night before going to bed."

Student Zhang: "."

Classmate Xiao Zhang: "Don't be like a sissy doing things every day."

Student Zhang: "Hahaha."

As soon as classmate Xiao Zhang "goose goose goose goose" put the phone on the bed, Yuan Shanshan looked at herself like a fool like a fool.

She hurriedly stopped laughing, and asked strangely: "What's the matter, Shanshan?"

Yuan Shanshan sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and asked curiously: "Xiao Fei, why do you like him? It seems that Xu Rong is usually very busy, and you don't get together very often?"

Student Xiao Zhang was a little sleepy at first, but she was not sleepy after asking this question. These words should not be said to outsiders, but in the dormitory, everyone usually has no taboos.

"There are so many." She snapped her fingers and said, "You always say that Teacher Xu and I are in a long-distance relationship, but I feel that he takes good care of me. For example, he can always find some small changes in me. It's kind of red."

She said, pointing to her neck, and said: "You didn't notice it. Teacher Xu asked me what was going on the other day, and I said that maybe it was Xia Tian who rubbed it, but he kept paying attention, and finally took me to After seeing the doctor, I found out that I touched something dirty when I was cleaning two days ago, and I developed ringworm."

"Teacher Xu usually doesn't talk much, but after he came back, he kept reminding me to apply the medicine every day, and I often get angry after eating. He always prepares Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets in his schoolbag. You know that I eat faster and often hiccup. , and then he told me to drink a sip of water and swallow it.”

"But I like his long fingers and six pack abs hahahaha."

Yuan Shanshan nodded in a daze, and asked, "Then what does he like about you?"

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately resumed the conversation: "Mr. Xu said he likes to watch me dance."

But she was not very satisfied with this answer, because Teacher Xu had never seen her dance except during the art test.

Lying on the bed, classmate Xiao Zhang couldn't fall asleep, and Shanshan's question made her unable to fall asleep over and over again. What does Teacher Xu like about her?

She decided to ask.

Xiao Zhang: "Mr. Xu, are you asleep?"

Xu Rong took off the earphones, and he was listening to the recording.

Teacher Xu: "No, what's the matter?"

Xiao Zhang: "Mr. Xu, what do you like about me?"

Xiao Zhang found that Teacher Xu didn't reply immediately, so he couldn't help but suddenly became nervous.

After waiting for a while, the mobile phone heard the prompt sound of "Dididi".

Teacher Xu: "Because you are stupid. You see that you only have ten yuan, but you gave it all to me. Do I still despise you for giving less?"

Xiao Zhang seemed to understand, but at the same time, she suddenly thought of another thing.

Xiao Zhang: "Why are you still awake?"

Teacher Xu: "I can't sleep because I miss you so much."

Classmate Xiao Zhang: "Oh, Teacher Xu is going to bed soon, don't say these things before going to bed, it will make people feel sick after listening to it."

"Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose."

Xiao Zhang put the phone aside, and after laughing, he turned his head and said happily to Yuan Shanshan: "Shanshan, Teacher Xu said that he likes my stupidity."

After all, she always felt that what she described was inappropriate and not accurate. At the same time, she also found that Shanshan's expression was not quite right.

Jiao Junyan scrambled to her feet, showed an encouraging look at Yuan Shanshan who was puzzled, and said, "Shanshan, you can do it too."

But then, she spread her hands again: "But it's a pity that you came late, who told you that you didn't hire a tutor in high school."

　The performance theory in this book mainly combines the perceptions of teachers Li Xuejian and Li Liqun. The sense of drama and spirit are not academic concepts in themselves, so they synthesize the explanations of Zhang Yimou, who has more practice, and teacher Li Zhiyu, who is partial to theory.

　　So, stop spraying, Hong looks pretty awkward.
