I'm just an actor

Chapter 90 Gifts
After a week of start-up, the entire film crew began to gradually enter the state, and everything slowly entered the normal state. Large-scale productions naturally have the benefits of large-scale productions.

Xu Rong heard Huang Xiaoming complain once before. This year, many production crews are rushing to meet deadlines in order to further reduce costs.

He didn't quite understand it before, but after filming "Forgiveness", he has been able to deduce the cause of the phenomenon from the result.

In fact, earlier, the number of crews who came to the school to find actors suddenly increased, and the situation had already begun to emerge. Strong winds often started at the end of Qingping, but at that time, limited by his vision and knowledge, he could not see and think so far, even Later, after being reminded by Shi Lanya, Hairun completely abandoned Chang Jihong and other things, he just had a vague premonition that something was wrong, but he didn't have a clear concept.

Now he feels personally that the rolling tide has swept in, and he himself is one of the beneficiaries. Since he can't stop it, he can only choose to strive to be the first and stand at the forefront of the tide.

And when the actors have almost entered the state, they only need to take two steps under the camera to see the difference in their professional level.

Those with good talent, such as Chen and Xu Rong, who have solid basic skills in eating skills, like Sai Fei and Yu Hewei, as for those who don't occupy both ends, can only eat role settings.

That's right, Xu Rong was classified as a talented actor by most people, especially after he gave himself a hard time and formed an emotional memory.

"Old Xu." After a scene was filmed, Yu Bin seemed to want to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Rong as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xu Rong smiled and said in a calm tone: "Brother, if you call like that again, we really can't talk, you should call me by my name."

Yu Bin looked at Xu Rong's warm face under the black-framed glasses. It was actually difficult for him to tell whether Xu Rong's words were true or not, because Xu Rong spoke very slowly at this time, which was different from the previous filming of "New Shanghai Beach". completely different.

"Well, let's have dinner together tonight?" Yu Bin suggested, showing his white teeth.

However, he soon came back into a trance. Unlike most of the people in the group who worshiped the top of the mountain and established relationships after joining the group, Xu Rong did not participate in these, because he himself was one of the top of the mountain, and when he was not popular in the past, he would also go to the mountain at night. Not old out.

"I forgot." He patted his forehead, pointed to the sidelines and said, "Then let's talk about dinner when we're not busy. Let's go over there and talk?"

"Row."

Seeing Yu Bin's hesitant appearance, Xu Rong couldn't help feeling a lot of doubts in her heart. The two of them talked more in the first day or two.

But because they have fallen into a strange circle of stubbornness one after another, in the past few days, there has been less communication.

Yu Bin's state was up and down, and Xu Rong had noticed it early in the morning.

Xu Rong didn't make Xu Rong wait too long, and when he got to the sidelines, Yu Bin simply said: "There is a more professional problem, but it's quite strange. When I feel that I am acting well, the director always says that I am too strong. I When I feel that the acting is average, but the director thinks it is okay, it is always unstable."

The reason why he went to Xu Rong was because he knew Xu Rong well. He also came from Nortel. He knew exactly what kind of school he was. Xu Rong has worked with him before, but his talent is so-so.

But Xu Rong's crying scene four days ago really scared him. The momentary transition from despair to extreme joy completely refreshed his understanding of Xu Rong.

At first, he only thought that Xu Rong had a flash of inspiration, because anyone who has been filming a scene for 20 years can have a few bright moments, just like dragging an elderly man at the street corner, he can also talk about being young From time to time, there will be one or two scenes that are incomparable in the limelight.

If we really want to focus on the highlight moments alone, most actors can afford the hype of "explosive acting skills", "soul change", and "textbook", but few of them can stand up to the continuous and stable performance. The number one.

But since that day, Xu Rong's state has been stable and terrifying. Even the veteran actors in the group are cautious when playing with him.

Xu Rong acted too freely. As a person who has filmed several scenes with him, Yu Bin can deeply feel Xu Rong's acting confidence, the kind of confidence that no matter how he acts, he is Wei Duanben.

But what surprised him was that Xu Rong didn't seem to go beyond the limited circle of the role once he thought about it carefully.

He put it all down to skill, and even though Xu Rong is not yet 21, that's all he can think.

What he was curious about was how Xu Rong maintained a stable output consistently. This is what troubled him these days, so he couldn't help but ask, "How do you maintain it?"

He didn't think it was embarrassing because Xu Rong was much more popular than him.

Xu Rong generally understood what Yu Bin meant. His upper limit was very clear. He was forcibly elevated to a "B+" talent by the system. He sometimes thought that if one day his comprehensive evaluation reached A or even higher, perhaps Will exclaim "Xu Rong is really spirit".

Now he has already verified his guess. The improvement of the system has nothing to do with skills or experience. It purely improves his acting talent. If he meets a character that suits him and is in good condition, he can basically perform normally.

As for supernormal performance, there is no such saying. The so-called supernormal is just reaching the limit of normality. It is like driving a car. The top speed of the test can only run 200. If you insist on running 210, losing control is the inevitable result, and the performance is supernormal. , either beyond the boundaries of skill cognition, or beyond the upper limit of talent, collapse is also an inevitable outcome.

As for the lower limit, it is also quite clear. It is based on the mastery of basic skills and skills. Just like the three days of shooting, his state is average, but because the preparation is sufficient, there are not many flaws in his expression, except for the lack of empathy. In addition to being strong, it does not have a too abrupt sense of design or reach the point of "work".

Moreover, the two are not restricting each other, but complement each other. The source of the experience value on which the comprehensive evaluation of the system depends is his exploration and learning outside the field of skill cognition, between the upper limit determined by talent and the lower limit determined by skills, maybe There is a gap, but it's not like some purely talented actors who always go crazy for a while.

After being stimulated a few days ago and forming an emotional memory, he has a good base of skills, and in order to maintain his state, he did not participate in miscellaneous activities or drinking games, and basically maintained a top-level performance stably.

This is not easy for Wei Duanben, a character who is somewhat different from himself.

In the eyes of others, it is his extraordinary stability.

Xu Rong pondered for a while, and then said: "I usually maintain some small habits of characters, but you also know that I usually don't do anything else during filming."

He didn't teach Yu Bin what to do, but just shared some of his own experience. The former is common sense, but the latter is difficult.

Just like what he said in the previous interview, why do you seek sophistication, because you need others, and since you are in this vanity fair, you cannot avoid asking others.

"Thank you." Yu Bin was silent for a while before he smiled, "I will try my best."

"You're welcome."

Xu Rong walked back to the studio, and what was being filmed was a scene between Yu Hewei and Luo Haijing.

Yu Hewei is indeed as good as his teacher Li Xuejian commented. His basic skills are quite solid, but he is a bit timid. During the shooting process, he rarely improvised. He always followed the preparation step by step. The response he made was completely opposite to that of him and Chen.

But in Xu Rong's view, improvisation is the charm of performance.

Because of filming for a week, and getting to know each other more or less, Xu Rong also vaguely understood the reason. Yu Hewei is similar to him. He has become popular in the past two years, but he has not become popular to the point where he is now. He can be regarded as a professional villain. But debuted much earlier, and is already married, and has a four-year-old child.

The difference with him is that if he can't earn money, classmate Xiao Zhang will be raised by her parents, so he won't be able to drink the Northwest Wind. Therefore, he dares to play unscrupulously under the character of the character, but Yu Hewei's shoulders Each carrying a wife who weighs a hundred catties and a child who weighs thirty catties, you can't follow your temper.

"Teacher Xu."

When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Xu Rongzheng was pawing and pulling silently, but felt that Yu Hewei next to him touched his arm, smiled and glanced at Chen who was opposite him.

He followed Yu Hewei's gaze and looked up, only to see that Chen's leek box was delicious with garlic. Immediately, he felt bad all over.

There was a kissing scene at night, for this, he brought his toothbrush and toothpaste to the set, and prepared to brush his teeth several times before filming.

Originally, according to the script, it should be a passionate scene, but at Chen's request, it was changed to a kissing scene. There were many changes like this, because all the passionate scenes were deleted, and Chen didn't prepare a substitute. Good request to change.

Gao Xixi is a famous director after all.

In fact, this is Xu Rong's first kiss scene since filming, and what's worse, it's also his first kiss.

He didn't ask to change the script or anything, actors always have to sacrifice.

But if Chen did this, he would have sacrificed a lot.

Although he also understood that Chen did this because he was afraid that he would be young, and if something happened to him, it would be embarrassing for both of them.

There have been many similar incidents in the past few years.

Seeing Xu Rong looking over, Chen asked with a smile, "Do you want to try it?"

Xu Rong's previous scandal made her have a bad impression of him, but after a week of filming, she gradually changed a little.

But she didn't dare to believe it all. The forest was big, and there were birds of all sizes. God knows what a pious person would look like if he took off his clothes all day long.

And Xu Rongnian was young, and she had to think about it all day long with red dates and wolfberries in the thermos.

This requires a lot of hard work, and you are only in your twenties, so you need such a remedy?
She dare not gamble.

If an actress doesn't pay attention to protecting herself, she can only swallow her losses, just like Xiao Tao Hong before.

Xu Rongqian shook his head with a smile.

But there was a bad premonition in his heart, because Yu Hewei was messed up by Luo Haijing the day before yesterday, and Yu Hewei didn't eat dinner that night.

Sensing the embarrassment in his expression, Chen raised the leek box in his hand, as if holding the leek box a little embarrassed, and said softly: "I'm sorry, just in case."

What can Xu Rong say? It's hard to say this kind of thing, so I can only turn my head and say to Gao Xixi: "Director, why don't you flash the camera?"

Gao Xixi looked at it with a smile, neither agreed nor disagreed, but curiously said: "Xiao Xu, if I remember correctly, you haven't filmed a kissing scene yet, have you?"

Without allowing Xu Rong to speak, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the water glass, unscrewed the lid lightly, blew on the tea leaves floating above, took a sip, and said slowly: "This is a big question in the show, You have to learn sooner or later."

"Yo, is it still your first screen kiss? Haha, then shall I chew some gum later and leave you with a good memory." Chen Shun joked.

Xu Rong actually didn't really want to shoot, mainly because he hadn't practiced his skills in this area with Xiao Zhang, so he gave Chen a blank look, and said to Gao Xixi quite solemnly: "Really director, I'm not joking. .”

Chen looked at Xu Rong blankly, and she couldn't tell if Xu Rong was serious at this time, because he always spoke in such a tone these days.

"Director, why don't you adjust it, I have an idea."

"I really can't change it anymore. Chen cried in the back, and there must be a foreshadowing in the front, and everything that can be changed has been changed. If you change it again, the back will look very abrupt, and before the kiss, the emotion must be in place." Gao Xixi saw Xu Rong Also said, interrupting him, and at the same time explaining why.

But Xu Rong couldn't help misunderstood the smile on Gao Xixi's face. Gao Xixi wasn't there to thank the tea for his kindness.

In any case, the role of Wei Duanben was an opportunity for Gao Xixi to transform. On the day of the start-up, he asked Xu Xing to buy a piece of tea and sent it to Gao Xixi.

Kissing scenes and bed scenes are not particularly easy to shoot. A group of people surround them, and the radio, camera, and lights can't wait to hit their faces, but in such a situation, charming emotions must be brewed.

After eating, he rested for a while, it was almost dark, Xu Rong brushed his teeth, and he didn't feel any special feeling of nervousness, it was just a scene, a few minutes passed.

But he also made up his mind, he had to be quick, twice at most, the strange smell of Chen Man's mouth would choke his nose after smelling it from a long distance.

With the lights adjusted, he stood in his position, took a deep breath, and prepared for the official shooting.

"The audience is quiet."

"start."

Xu Rong held his breath and concentrated, but after saying a few words, he had to take a breath. Suddenly, a pungent smell made him extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't hesitate. After looking at her for three seconds, lowered his head.

"stop."

At the very moment, Gao Xixi yelled to stop, and when it was over, he froze for a moment, his face seemed a bit regretful, as if he yelled too early.

Xu Rong walked a few steps in a hurry, took a few breaths of fresh air, and at the same time ran his hand over his chest, not to mention, he really had a physical reaction, and almost spat on her face when it was over.

He didn't even know how Chen endured it until now.

Gao Xixi saw that Xu Rong's expression was not right, so he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, you have no experience? Why do you look like you are being generous?"

Xu Rong also took a few steps forward, got closer, and almost met Gao Xixi, and said seriously: "Director, get it wrong, to be honest, even if she didn't eat those miscellaneous things, I can't act well, really?" Thank you for your experience, I appreciate it.”

Gao Xixi saw that the look of embarrassment on his face didn't look fake, he laughed twice, and said: "That's fine, but there has to be a process of getting closer, you understand? Then lie down, and when the time comes, the The camera hits both of your feet"

"clear."

After the two discussed it, they told Chen Yi that Chen Zheng was really looking forward to it.

"start."

"Card."

"Again."

Chen looked at Xu Rong, smiled and said, "Why do I feel that you are so nervous?"

Xu Rongruo smiled nonchalantly, shook his head and said, "The smell is too strong, I'm holding my breath."

"is it?"

"start."

"Stop, pass." Gao Xixi frowned and looked at the monitor. This was Xu Rong's worst performance since the machine was turned on. It was too stiff.

But people also told him honestly that he couldn't find a substitute for him without experience.

Xu Rong was naturally aware of his problem, but he felt that he had performed well, at least he was in a good mood.

When watching the film and television materials, he subconsciously ignored this part, and did not observe it carefully, thinking that it would be natural after experiencing it, but this kind of learning and exploration must not be with Chen Lai, so it is a bit deliberate. up.

After all, Chen was much older than him. After the filming was over, he vaguely noticed the reason. Xu Rong's experience in this field was extremely lacking, and when he leaned over, the angle was not right.

But she didn't say a word. It's not a glorious thing for a man to say such a thing.

The leek box is all about garlic, Xu Rong can't say that Chen is wrong, and he can't say that Chen is right, the main reason is that some male colleagues are too incompetent.

But the subsequent development of certain things is always unpredictable.

That night, as usual, after finishing filming, he went back to rest for a while, when he was rehearsing with Xu Xing, the door was knocked open.

List.

He naturally understood that Chen didn't come here to invite himself out for "snack", it was not the time, it was a hint only during the preparation period, and she didn't need it.

He is just an actor, and Chen is not a second- or third-tier actress, so there is no need to make such a big sacrifice.

Moreover, similar situations mainly focus on the two titles of producer and director. As for who it is, it depends on the right to speak.

With the rampant capital, the proportion of truly capable directors is getting lower and lower. Most of them are actually earning a director’s fee, getting a signature, and no matter how they can climb up. In fact, few people have high artistic pursuits. .

Of course, once these people speak, they have completely different faces. Between the opening and closing of the upper lip and the lower lip, words such as "art", "ideal" and "spirit" are always inseparable, flaunting attitudes, All in all, it looks very powerful when people listen to it, except for the works that have nothing to sell.

"Good sister, what is this?" Xu Rong looked at Chen who was standing at the door, and let her in without closing the door.

Chen glanced at the script on the sofa and Xu Xing who was standing by the side, and was stunned: "It's so late, why are you still queuing?"

"Well, I haven't memorized the words yet, so I can only practice it twice." Xu Rong was quite surprised by Chen's arrival, "Is there something wrong, dear sister?"

"Thank you during the day." She put the bag in her hand on the table, but she didn't explain the reason, but said with a smile, "A little gift, I won't disturb your study, see you tomorrow."

As for Xu Rong's claim that he didn't memorize the words, she didn't believe it at all. During the chat earlier, Yu Hewei was surprised that he hadn't seen Xu Rong's script, but after hearing Gao Xixi's statement, the two of them really gave each other a hard time. Surprised, Xu Rong never turned over the script during filming.

But after all, he was No. 1 in Nortel's cultural class back then, so it's not surprising that he has a good brain.

"See you tomorrow."

Xu Rong really thought it was a small gift at first, but when Xu Xing opened it up and took out a watch, he frowned. He had seen the brand before when he was shopping, and it didn't seem very cheap.

But since it was accepted, there is no reason to return it.

Of course, he was not related to Chen Fei, so he couldn't accept it for nothing.

"You go to the city at noon tomorrow and buy something for women." Xu Rong handed the watch to Xu Xing and entrusted him, "Buy it at twice the price of this."

Xu Xing didn't quite understand what he meant, and asked in surprise, "Twice?"

Xu Rong didn't really understand it, but this was the truth his grandfather taught him the last time he went home. He didn't doubt it, but said: "Yes, twice, it's a gift from a friend. By the way, buy another one." Gold pendant."

The gold pendant was not given to Chen in return. Xiao Zhang’s birthday is coming soon, so her gift is ready. Xiao Zhang has an incomprehensible passion for gold jewelry. She paid for the movie “Horseback Bank” before. To reward myself, I bought another small goldfish, which was exactly the same as the one he was wearing.

"Xu Rong, what do you think of Tian Peizhi and Wei Duanben getting together in the end?" The three events that happened in the eight days made Chen no longer treat Xu Rong as a 20-year-old boy.

The first thing is that on the third day after starting the machine, Xu Rong completely collapsed himself in order to mobilize his emotions.

The second thing is that Xu Rong didn't take advantage of her yesterday.

The third item is the perfume that Xu Rong gave back at noon today, which is more than twice as expensive as yesterday's watch.

She can predict that Xu Rong will never stop at the present in the future, he is dedicated and professional, and most importantly, the structure is large enough.

She has always looked down on those who keep looking at the industry, the overall situation, and the world situation all day long, and gossip, but once it falls on the real people and things, they have no sense at all. In her opinion That's not a pattern, but a delusion. Xu Rong's magnanimity made her feel ashamed of her actions yesterday and her past speculation about him, and at the same time, there was a little regret.

Xu Rong glanced at Chen who was thinking seriously, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Wei Duan might be very happy, but Tian Peizhi really won't have a next time? Actually, I don't think so, from my personal understanding , Tian Peizhi had better not commit suicide, because from the perspective of a normal person, suicide is not necessarily a regret, as you said, at that time, she could turn back, but she chose to die, more people may think that she After the pursuit of wealth and honor came to naught, I chose to kill myself in desperation, I would rather commit suicide than accept a poor second half of my life, but this is just my personal opinion, the director probably also wanted to take care of the readers of the original work.”

When he was talking, Chen kept nodding, and when he finished speaking, he asked seriously: "You mean, it's better because of an accident, or homicide?"

"Accidents are better. Although it is a little more dramatic, it is more touching. My girlfriend called me before and told me about a drama, "The Legend of the Banner Heroes". During the episode, she was made to cry, sputtering, haha."

"Okay, Xu Rong, you didn't 'look' at me!" Chen stared at the soft lines under Xu Rong's mirror frame, and was stunned for a while. She finally understood completely. Xu Rong mentioned his girlfriend's expression and told Wei Duan Ben looked at Tian Peizhi with almost the same expression.
