Chapter 502 The Voice of the Character (Second Change)
After Yu Dong gave the magazine to Liu Ye, he found a chair in the practice room and sat down, quietly watching the students rehearse.

What Xu Zheng said was right, rehearsing a drama from scratch is really difficult for these students who have just learned acting for less than a year.

But what pleased Yu Dong was that the students were very motivated, showing perseverance and desire to perform.

Zu Feng and the others first decided on the role of Hu Jing, and everyone agreed that she was more suitable to play Gu Jun.

Gu Jun is one of the four students. She is beautiful, her family is not happy, and her parents are half-divorced. She has lived in such an environment for a long time and has a rebellious personality.

After her role was settled, Zu Feng came over and asked Yu Dong: "Teacher, how about Hu Jing playing Gu Jun?"

Just now Hu Jing tried a Gu Jun's play, and Yu Dong also watched it.

"The image is more suitable, but Hu Jing's understanding of this role is still a bit off." Speaking of this, Yu Dong frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Or, it's not a question of understanding the role, but of the career of an actor. understand the problem."

Zu Feng didn't understand, so, "Teacher, what do you say?"

Hu Jing was also listening. When she heard what Yu Dong said was not good, she pouted in aggrieved manner.

Seeing her pouting, Yu Dong frowned and said, "With your mentality, how can you be an actor?"

Hu Jing was taken aback, she didn't dare to pout, she could only look at Yu Dong helplessly.

Yu Dong didn't look at her again, and continued: "Gu Jun is a very rebellious girl. Her family environment has created her character. She is irritable, likes to swear, and is very sensitive. Hu Jing just tried In this scene, Gu Jun and his classmate Chen Xiaoguang had a conflict because Chen Xiaoguang's mother told people about the things in Gu Jun's house, which made Gu Jun feel very embarrassed. The line she said while slapping the table with Chen Xiaoguang, you still remember?"

The students scratched their heads. After all, it wasn't long after they got the script, so how could they memorize all the lines?
Yu Dong looked at Hu Jing: "Hu Jing, do you remember?"

Hu Jing hesitated and said, "Remember that."

"Tell me, how did you write the script?"

"Gu Jun said, didn't you talk nonsense? She cares so much about other people's affairs...why, you are so obedient, so...don't talk to me."

"Is this the original line of my script?"

"I... don't remember very clearly."

Yu Dong looked at Hu Jing with a half-smile: "I don't think you can't remember the lines, but you can't speak them."

"I……"

"The original line written in my script should be: No nonsense? Is it a bitch for her to care so much about other people's affairs! If you listen to your mother like this, get the hell out of here."

"Teacher Yu has a really good memory." Zhang Changjiang suddenly flattered him.

Yu Dong took a look at the kid and reprimanded, "Go away."

Zhang Changjiang shrank his head and didn't dare to speak again.

Yu Dong has lived for such a long time, of course he can see the little Jiujiu in Zhang Changjiang's belly. This kid likes Hu Jing, so he turned the corner to help Hu Jing out of the siege.

But Yu Dong's scolding also scared Hu Jing enough, the little girl couldn't help shrinking behind Mei Ting next to her.

"Hu Jing, do you think this line is too vulgar to say?"

"I'm not..." Hu Jing wanted to defend, but she didn't know what to say, because Yu Dong really hit her heart.

She always felt that Gu Jun's lines were too vulgar. Even though Gu Jun was a junior high school student, he spoke foul language.

Yu Dong saw that she had an idea, and said, "If you have any disagreement, you can raise it."

Hu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Teacher, can't Gu Jun's rebellion be internal and silent? Isn't it too deliberate to have to be so obvious and vulgar?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Dong with some fear.

But what she didn't expect was that instead of scolding, Yu Dong laughed instead: "It's good to be able to put forward your own ideas. Everyone has their own way of shaping a character. But you seem to have forgotten that I was As I told you in the drama class of literature, the tension of drama lies in conflict, contradiction, and exaggeration. Especially in drama, no one in the audience can hear the inner thoughts of the characters, so it is necessary to use lines with tension and Body to present content."

"If I were writing a novel today, I could naturally shape the role of Gu Jun in a different way, give her more inner monologues, add more small details of life to her that are difficult for others to observe, and I can also Use a lot of symbols to "hunt" this character. These things can be realized by the author with a pen. But when you stand on the stage and face the audience, what you need to consider is whether the audience can observe to the things you designed."

The students didn't speak, but they could tell from their expressions that they listened to Yu Dong's words.

Since it was a rehearsal, Yu Dong didn't want to waste their time too much, and said with a smile: "I'll just say a few more words about drama, and as for the performance, I'll talk to Teacher Cui and ask her to give it a try. You adjust it. I didn't expect that I told you to liberate your nature, and now you can't even utter a few swear words."

After talking about Hu Jing, it was past six o'clock, Yu Dong told Xu Zheng, and the two left the practice room.

After leaving the practice room, Yu Dong smiled and said, "What's your impression of these students?"

"They're all pretty good. Although some students have poor foundations, they have great potential. For example, Mr. Yu, the Hu Jing you criticized just now, although she has a thin-skinned problem, she still has a certain grasp of the role. Even She still can't let go in the future, as long as she finds a suitable role, she can perform very well."

"But that's where the ceiling is."

Xu Zheng nodded. He knew that Yu Dong was right. As an actor, if the role was limited, then the upper limit would definitely not be very high.

"If you are not in a hurry to go back to Shanghai in the past two days, you should go to guide and direct them more, and communicate with them more. Although they are only freshmen now, maybe you will have many opportunities to work together in the future." Yu Yu Dong said with a smile.

Xu Zheng rolled his eyes, he heard Yu Dong's implication, nodded immediately and said, "I understand."

……

Xu Zheng didn't leave the next day, but stayed at Jinyi for a week, going to rehearse "Huayu" with the students in the performance class at regular times every day, and even got a role substitute - the principal of Huayu Middle School.

I have to say that after experience, Xu Zheng is different from other students. Although he is only in his 20s, he has no problem playing a middle school principal in his 50s.

And because he is not a teacher, he has no airs in front of the students, so he got acquainted with the students very quickly.

When it came time for him to leave Jinyi and return to Shanghai, the students in the acting class practiced it for him.

In fact, Yu Dong asked Xu Zheng to guide the students in the acting class to rehearse the drama. On the one hand, of course, he wanted the students in the acting class to learn from Xu Zheng and make progress. On the other hand, he really wanted Xu Zheng to get acquainted with the students. , to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

"Love Through Time and Space" is going to be filmed, and Xu Zheng is likely to be the male lead. As for the female lead, Yu Dong now has two candidates in mind, one is Li Bing and the other is Hu Jing.

But this is just Yu Dong's idea, and he will not interfere too much in how to choose roles later.

　Sure enough, it was Yu Hua, who changed his lines, and that chapter was released.
