Become a Tokyo Showgirl

"Everyone is praising me. I feel that my acting skills are not up to standard. I always feel that I am a bit pretentious, so I don't want to tell other people how I feel. I didn't expect to be noticed by you, Sister Feng. .”

Wu Hefeng gave her a blank look: "You little girl, you can't hide any emotions, I can tell what you're thinking at a glance."

"Everyone can see it?"

"What do you say?"

Qian Hua smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"But it's not a big deal." Wuhefeng leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath, "I have worked in Dongri Studio for more than ten years, and I have been a leather suit actor since I was 20 years old. On this set, I got to know a lot of the leading actors of the crew like a mirror in water."

"Many people are like you. They came to filming when they were teenagers and should go to school. At this time, the girls and boys have no experience, no experience, and their acting skills are generally not good. Relatively speaking, you It's the best newcomer I've ever seen in acting. The director has to relax a little bit for newcomers, and it's only natural for him to praise you."

Qianhua nodded, and replied: "I know. But... I always feel that I should be able to perform better, rather than such superficial performances. It's like seeing Mr. Ishikawa Toru that day. same as acting,"

Listening to what she said, Wu Hefeng smiled helplessly: "Little girl, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too ambitious. Acting skills need to be tempered and settled, and you are already quite good at what you are doing now. Mr. Ishikawa and When you were the same age, did you know his acting skills? If you don’t know, go and see, I can only say that he is far inferior to you. His acting skills only improved by leaps and bounds when he was 27 or 8 years old, and it started at that time. Some people think he is a powerful actor."

"The reason why he was able to achieve such an improvement at the age of 30 is that the accumulation and precipitation have begun to be digested. And you are only 18 years old now, and you already want to be the same as Mr. Ishikawa's acting skills? I think It’s not realistic, and you shouldn’t have such high demands on yourself.”

Qian Hua nodded with a look of disappointment.

"Yes, I understand."

Just when her mood was declining, Wuhefeng spoke again:

"However, if you really want to make a breakthrough, maybe I can give you some advice."

"Really?" Qianhua raised her head impatiently, and looked at her expectantly, "So... what kind of suggestion is that?"

"Don't expect too much. After all, I'm just a leather actor. I haven't performed traditional acting. What I can tell you is just what I heard on the set in the past ten years, and some conclusions I have drawn from my observations. .”

"It's okay! I want to hear it."

Seeing Qianhua's eagerness to wait, Wuhefeng no longer kept her promises.

After sorting out the language, she said: "In my opinion, acting is roughly divided into several stages. The first stage is the most basic stage. Most of the actors in this stage have just come into contact with acting. I didn't have a clear understanding of this matter, and I was just doing my own behavior according to the director's request."

"Dongri likes to use new actors these years. Many of them are young people forced by the agency. Most of them have not even had basic acting training. When they first started acting, they were basically at this stage. They are very Confused, they are groping, but the results of the final performance are unsatisfactory."

"But what makes me feel gratified is that most of them will grow up. The two crews of Dongri, whether it is the super-connector or the masked hero, are mostly filmed for a year. Let everyone become mature little by little, know how to make movies, and then year after year... This kind of experience is quite unforgettable for me. Many of them have become quite famous now , some are still in contact with me, but some are not...."

Speaking of this, Wuhefeng showed a nostalgic smile on his face.

But she immediately brought the topic back.

"Ah, I got off topic. In short, the second stage will come after that. In the second stage, actors gradually learn how to control their expressions and body movements, and gradually understand how to correctly express what they want to perform. They began to output their performances to the camera precisely according to the director's requirements. Many newcomers take a long time to do this step, which is why the director praised you a lot, because as soon as you come up It’s not an easy thing to do that.”

"And what you feel is lacking now, that is, the level that you can't reach at present, is the so-called 'third stage'. Actors in this stage, they will really put themselves into the role, their performance It is from the inside out, not just a layer of camouflage wrapped on the surface...."

"For example, Mr. Ishikawa, every time he plays, do you feel that he seems to be a completely different person."

Hearing this, Qianhua nodded with deep sympathy: "That's true! And my performance doesn't have this feeling at all!"

PS: My roommate tested negative, but I have been coughing for half a month, and today I started to have a high fever.I'm also a little groggy today, I don't know what's going on.

It's a little late because I don't feel well, but I will try my best to finish the fourth watch.

Let's count the tickets QAQ

38. Is there anyone who is not crazy about acting?

Wuhefeng smiled, and said: "It's natural, you haven't experienced it yet. You need experience, you need training, you need the accumulation of experience..."

No, actually I have a lot of experience.Qianhua complained quietly in her heart.

She can say that she has experienced everything in her previous life.

But the experience on stage may really be a little less.

She didn't have many opportunities to really show herself on stage before, all she could do was to delve into the acting routines or skills in private.

As Wu Hefeng said, her performance so far is indeed a rigid imitation.

It's like AI is learning human speech, it seems to be so, but it has no soul, it's just superficial.

It's not that she doesn't know what Wu Hefeng said.

But when it comes to actual implementation, she still has a lot of confusion.

So, she confided this feeling to Wuhefeng.

"What should I do to make myself play a character from the inside out? If the character happens to be like me, then of course it's fine, but..."

"However, Suzuki Iori, a character with a deep story background, a resentment towards human beings, a vicious and cold anti-social personality...such a guy, even in the entire real world, is very rare. ? Such a highly artistically created character, how on earth should I substitute her?"

Yes, this is Qianhua's real distress.

In fact, she has summed up a lot of experience a few days ago.

However, the problem is that if she is asked to play a "frustrated middle-aged man who pursues his dream all his life but has no results", she can definitely play it perfectly.

But casting her as a high school girl who wants to get revenge on society, it really doesn't have an entry point at all.

How could she empathize with a sociopath from the inside out?

Wu Hefeng smiled: "I feel very reluctant, don't you? Such a person does not exist in reality. I think that if you can empathize with such a character, you must be a lunatic, right?"

Qianhua did not answer this question.

But she listened silently, and she really thought so in her heart.

Yes, in her opinion, a person who can empathize with such a role and fully dedicate himself to playing such a role must be a lunatic.

But she's not crazy.

As if seeing through Qian Hua's thoughts, Wu Hefeng shook his head helplessly, "So, you still don't think clearly enough."

“我跟你打几个比方。五/仪记=号=/玖>扒/@器*>扒+八[email protected]凌/>七|溜&义石川先生在饰演本片男主的时候，他给人的感觉，是怎么义&灵{~仪N>j}器}*四-<五/@就<#是/九#{八样的？哪怕不用我说你小#说}%群#@[email protected]%0|1*7/4~5{%9<4{记-|号=*易@+玲~9$%8也知道吧。”

"So numb, so tired, so hopeless about society, but even so, still retaining the last trace of humanity."

"Does such a character have anything in common with Mr. Ishikawa himself? He has no shortage of food and clothing, and his life is very happy, but why can he have such a profound interpretation of such a character who can be said to be relatively low in society, you know ?"

Qian Hua hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Is it because...he completely abandoned his original personality and pretended that he was the person in the play?"

"Correct answer." Wuhefeng nodded, "As far as I have observed, when well-known and powerful actors are acting, their whole person will present a completely different state than usual. Some even get into the play too deeply. They will appear completely different from their normal self, as if they have an extra personality."

Wuhefeng's speech made Qianhua feel as if she had caught something, but she didn't catch it at all.

And, from Wuhefeng's speech, she realized a problem.

After hesitating for a while, she asked, "No...but in this case..."

"Isn't that weird? To play a kind character, to be kind, to play a happy character, to be happy, maybe that's okay. But... A bad character who is anti-social, and let yourself become full of negative energy and extremely anti-social, wouldn’t that make you a lunatic?”

Wu Hefeng gave her a meaningful look.

"Qianhua... What do you think? Acting from the soul needs to give up some things. How can anyone not be crazy if he acts well?"

.......

There is no one who is not crazy when acting well.

Such a simple sentence shocked Qianhua greatly and made her overturn her own thinking.

After filming that night, on the way home, Qianhua kept thinking about this sentence.

She never realized before that some people would put themselves into an abnormal mental state in order to make a good movie.

Wuhefeng also made it very clear: not everyone is willing to be so dedicated.

However, for Qianhua, who regards acting as her greatest pursuit in life, she is willing to give it a try.

Even at the risk of going crazy.

But can she really do this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, she tried it.

"I'm not Chika Inuzuka now, I'm Suzuki Iori."

"Suzuki Iori is not a character I play, I am Suzuki Iori himself."

Close your eyes and say this to yourself as if hypnotized.

Then, when she opened her eyes again, it felt as if the whole world had changed.

The alley, passers-by, and the clothes she was wearing obviously remained the same, but in her eyes, in her gaze, it seemed that they had become different from usual.

Why do you want to walk on the road so ordinary?

' because I need to act like I'm just a normal high school girl. '

But such an identity is a disguise, she is not a real high school girl, she is the Eclipse Queen.

She hates and loathes all humans.

Occasionally, a couple passed by her, talking and laughing, but it made people feel sick.

She wanted to kill both of them if she could.

But she can't do that now.

She has a lot of power, but she can't fight against the power of an entire country, so she needs to pretend.

She needs to get to school on time, leave school on time, and appear as normal as possible in the eyes of her classmates.

Incarnate as the Eclipse Queen only when necessary, and give other oppressed weirdos the ability to "super-mutate" and let them bring panic to this society.

"So, right now, I'm just on a mission, right? A mission to make other people think I'm normal."

"The next step is to... go home."

PS: Today's Chapter 2!Come to count the tickets QAQ tickets are really a bit small.

There are two more!

39. Cold Violence Yuko

Just like that, Chika Inuzuka walked towards her apartment building with a cold face.

........

On the other hand, Yuko has finished shooting all the scenes that should be filmed at this stage.

Although the official completion will have to wait until March, in fact, due to the tight rhythm before, the filming work has already ended at this time, and there are still some filming tasks that need to be finished. Variety shows, interviews.

It can be said that it is a rare leisure time in a year.

Relying on "Masked Brave Spirit Fox", Takahashi Yuko has gained a not-so-low popularity. The attention on Twitter and the sales of peripheral products can be said to be very smooth.

Generally speaking, this kind of artist who has just finished acting in "The Masked Brave" will naturally take on other plays immediately, and then expand and continue his enthusiasm.

However, Takahashi Yuko proposed to the agency at this time to take a break for a period of time, the reason being "I want to film with Chika Inuzuka".

Manager Jiutiao thought this request was unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not completely impossible.

Because from a marketing point of view, bundling two female artists is a common method, and many people like it.

And Inuzuka Chika now seems to have a bright future.

So, she finally agreed to Takahashi's request.

For Yuko, she made the decision to film with her good sister, but for Kujo's manager, she agreed to this request out of more practical considerations.

But no matter what the process is, the result is that the two can film together, which makes Yuko very happy.

During this period of time, after she finishes her work every day, she returns home early, and waits until Qianhua comes back together. The two of them cook together, chat for a while, have dinner together, and then tentatively ask Qianhua when she is going to bed. One sentence: Do you want to sleep together today?

Then it will be taken for granted that Qianhua will shyly reject her.

Then, the day ended with satisfaction.

And today, the same is true.

Lying on the sofa, Yuko watched the anime while waiting for Chika's return with full anticipation.

I don't know how long it passed like this.

When she finished watching the latest episode of cartoons, she went outside the door to take a look, and then she found that the window on the left of the 4th floor of the apartment building next door to her was lit.

"Qianhua is back!" She immediately realized this.
