Actors have no vacation

Chapter 128 Relax
From the perspective of the structure of the play, at the end of the movie, the characters have to complete the transformation and the theme has to be sublimated.And when Guan Chen acted here, he always had no confidence in this part.

On the last page of the "Key to Destiny" script, Director Tian has never told Guan Chen the specific content.Guan Chen went to read the scripts of other people in the crew, but whether it was from the photographer or other actors, the last page was empty.

Hawley has reasoned about this, and roughly judged whether Ding Wu's ending is good or bad:

"When a film is approved, the market must be determined first, whether it is a commercial film or a literary film",
"From the perspective of genre and investment scale, "The Key to Destiny" is likely to be a commercial film",
"An excellent commercial film can give tired people the courage to live for another week. From the conceptual analysis, the two male protagonists in the story briefly jumped out of their own little world, and after seeing another color of the world, I understand in my heart what is really precious, this is mostly the path of existentialism, there is a high probability that Ding Wu will have a good ending, and it will not be black until the end"...

Guan Chen was worried, because Tian Dao, who made a literary film, might be ashamed of family reunion, and it must be miserable to be profound.

After joining the group, Guan Chen asked Director Tian if Ding Wu's ending was good or bad.

Sure enough, director Tian was ambiguous as always, he didn't speak human words, and he said that the specific situation would not be known until the post-editing.

so casual.

Guan Chen saw his shadow in Ding Wu's body.So I hope Ding Wu can have a good ending.If Ding Wu can have a happy ending, Guan Chen will feel that his life has also been encouraged.

When Hawley was tutoring Guan Chen on basic performance knowledge, he briefly explained the difference between [experience school], [method school] and [expression school] using the same-sex (male-male) theme as an example.

Expressionism is to carefully design a homosexual through observation, learning and imitation;

Methodist actors regard the communication object as a woman when they act, and replace their feelings for the opposite sex with feelings of the same sex;
The experiential actors need to find the common ground between themselves and the characters, dig out the feeling of the same sex in their hearts, and then face it directly and amplify it.Whether it is through hints or deception, in short, it becomes homosexual for a short time.It belongs to the group that is the most difficult and requires the talent of actors.

Guan Chen's performance style is mainly experiential.

In order to express Ding Wu's feeling of being determined to be a good person, Guan Chen had to find common ground between himself and the characters, and connect with each other.

【One good deed every day】is that thread.

For more than half a year, he has done many good deeds.Human beings as big as cats and dogs as small as cats and dogs have all received his favors.You should be able to feel a little bit of the qualities of a good person.

In addition, I had experience in filming "Police Story" and learned a complete set of coping methods from Zhang Jingsheng - the reason why I can't act well must be that there is something wrong with the script.Guan Chen conceived many variations for this, and if one fails, change to another, and never stick to the wrong script.

Therefore, facing the last page of the blank script, Guan Chen cooperated with the outside and made two preparations.

But when the show started, the situation was completely out of the script.

It doesn't take Director Tian to point it out, Guan Chen can feel that his state is not right.

Every time Xing Yan jokingly and indifferently said [Growing a conscience, do you think this is a good thing?Do you really think that you can live a good life with peace of mind in the future? ]'s lines, those eyes were overwhelmingly suppressed, Guan Chen's performance and heart were forced back to the corner, dripping with sweat, unable to move.The rebuttal lines memorized in my heart, as soon as they came out of my mouth, were like embers in the wind, trembling, unreasonable and not strong, and I couldn't even convince myself.Only in those negative endings, when Ding Wu put all his eggs in one basket, or lines like "It doesn't matter if my life ends here, just pay off the debts of the past", can Guan Chen integrate 100% with Ding Wu and regain his handy personality. Feel.

It seemed that subconsciously, he felt that he did not deserve a good ending.

Insufficient internal factors, Guan Chen was not reconciled, and prepared to resort to external forces according to the plan, saying that there might be some problems with the script and slight adjustments were needed.

Director Tian readily agreed, and let Guan Chen let go, he could act whatever he wanted, and he could say whatever lines he wanted.Even after communicating with the screenwriter, you can write on the spot.

Guan Chen declined the scriptwriter's kindness, and spent a long time alone during his lunch break, no matter how he changed his lines, it was a dry bluff.

When "The Police" encountered a bottleneck at the end, Zhang Jingsheng was a very kind person, he talked a lot of dry things, and even brought Guan Chen together to change the script.Guan Chen hopes to borrow the wisdom of Teacher Xing and use his strength to fight.As the saying goes, it is a thief to grow old and not die. Guan Chen believes that Mr. Xing has eaten more rice for 20 years than Zhang Jingsheng, so he should be a thief and a thief, and his skills are no less than Zhang Jingsheng.Although Mr. Xing patronizes soliciting customers after joining the group, it seems that the main purpose is to recruit students for the performance class, but Guan Chen still has great confidence in his teacher. After all, every time he improvises and changes as he pleases, Xing The teacher caught it steadily.If you ask Mr. Xing for advice, you won't be disappointed.

Guan Chen asked Teacher Xing for help.

Unexpectedly, Xing Yan is useless at all.

Guan Chen asked how to perform the feeling of facing life positively and wanting to live.Xing Yan replied, there is no way to explain this. When you really want to be active, you will be active. When you want to understand why you live, you will naturally know why you want to live.

What nonsense, Guan Chen was so angry that he almost picked up all the meat in Xing Yan's bowl.

The money the crew burned in a few days exceeded Guan Chen's salary.There is no time to stop and wait for him to think clearly.

In the afternoon of this day, the shooting was still not very smooth.

After taking more than a dozen pictures, Xing Yan couldn't take it anymore physically, Director Tian also asked Guan Chen to go down to rest first.

Guan Chen didn't like this feeling.I am like a student who has no answer in his heart but is called to answer questions at the blackboard. With the teacher's permission, he tries to answer one answer at a time.Even if he got the answer right, it was just luck, not his real understanding.

Right now, Guan Chen doesn't know who to turn to for help.

I asked Mr. Xing, and Mr. Xing talked nonsense, and decades of salt have been eaten in vain.

Asked Xiang Jun, Xiang Jun lost a philosophy book on existentialism. Guan Chen couldn't even get past the preface. Close up.

Ask the big brother, the big brother gave a suggestion, let Guan Chen go to the stray animal rescue station, feel the weight of life, help small animals, and you can become a good person.With such a reliable opinion, Guan Chen was so excited that he immediately wanted to try it.It's a pity that as soon as he asked the little intern for leave, the little intern rushed over to stop him, saying that director Tian had told him that Guan Chen would not listen to any suggestions on performances given by Xie Jinzhu.

Guan Chen flipped through the script, thinking, who else's brain has not been used...

"It's not going well." Zhang Jingsheng's voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

Guan Chen turned his head, only to realize that Zhang Jingsheng had actually come.

"Why are you here?" Somewhat surprised.

Zhang Jingsheng corrected: "I came at noon."

Guan Chen's face darkened, and he didn't even notice that Zhang Jingsheng had sneaked into the set. Could it be that his concentration had dropped to such a point.

"What's your expression?" Zhang Jingsheng pretended to be angry, "I kindly brought the dining car to visit your class, but you still don't welcome me?"

"Dining car!" Guan Chen was startled, and immediately thought of a lot, "I said, why do they all eat so well, and there is not so much meat in my box lunch. I thought it was a delay in progress, and they finally endured it." No, start to isolate and deliberately feed me bad food."

"Who told you to have lunch so early?" Zhang Jingsheng casually flipped through the book that Guan Chen had put on the chair beside him.

Guan Chen flipped through the script and said that what he wanted was to finish eating early and ponder the script earlier.

Zhang Jingsheng glanced at Guan Chen's script, and it was obvious that the script had been read dozens of times. In the hot summer, sweat dripped on the paper inadvertently, and the plant fibers were wet and dry, forming a convex or concave surface. Script pages are no longer firmly glued to each other.A thin volume of script was read by Guan Chen to one-third thicker.

Zhang Jingsheng sat down beside Guan Chen and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

Guan Chen suddenly remembered that he had never asked this old partner for help.As if seeing a savior, Guan Chen quickly threw his confusion at Zhang Jingsheng, and said the two nonsense words Xing Yan said, which meant to remind Zhang Jingsheng, don't do this, talk to me carefully.

After Zhang Jingsheng listened, he said: "You should live like this, and subdue your heart like this."

"What?" Guan Chen tilted his head and clapped his ears with his thumb.

Zhang Jingsheng explained: "Buddhist language, [should live like this], can be simply understood as [that's how it is]."

"and then?"

"In the "Diamond Sutra", Subhuti asked the Tathagata how to concentrate and how to let go when practicing. The Tathagata told him that he should live like this-that's it.

The answer seems strange, but it is actually saying that when you really want to focus, you can focus; when you really want to let go, you can let go. Zhang Jingsheng said, "This is what your teacher wants to say."When you really want to live an active life, you will live an active life.The reason you're not getting motivated is because you haven't really made up your mind yet. "

Guan Chen was dumbfounded.

He even struggles with philosophy. Are things like Buddhism accessible to someone like him at the high school level?
And even if you explain this sentence, I still can't understand it.When you really want to focus, you can focus; when you really want to let go, you can let go... This kind of statement is too perfunctory!

"Of course." Zhang Jingsheng's words startled Guan Chen.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingsheng continued: "I'm just answering your question, not a performance guide."

"Then you guide and give some advice?" What Guan Chen wanted to hear was constructive advice.For example, go to a rescue station to help small animals.Whether cutting cat nails or shaving dogs, Guan Chen is very experienced.

"My suggestion is... to relax." Zhang Jingsheng said, "You are too tense now, not relaxed, you need to adjust and adjust."

Zhang Jingsheng's words brought back many memories for Guan Chen.In the previous life, those colleagues or younger brothers often went to relax with a cigarette after drinking and eating.But Guan Chen always refused, going to that kind of place, how interesting is it to practice boxing and watch boxing.

So facing Zhang Jingsheng's invitation, Guan Chen insisted on his heart, shook his head and refused, "I don't eat takeaway."
