I'm just an actor

Chapter 363 Thoughts
"Hahaha."

Wang Zixuan looked at her childhood playmate, and was stunned. She didn't listen to the great truth that Xiao Zhang said, because most of them were ordinary people. Get up at [-] o'clock!" The decision is difficult to fulfill, let alone the abilities she said will take more than ten years to develop.

What surprised her was that the smile of this childhood playmate was as pure as it was a few years ago or ten years ago.

This reminded her of a sentence she said when chatting with a college classmate a while ago.

"It feels like you've matured a lot in recent years."

When the other party looked at her and said these words, she also looked at the classmate sitting across from her whom she hadn't seen for more than three years, and she felt a similar feeling in her heart, and then there was a few seconds of silence.

The typical feature of princess disease is self-willedness, doing whatever you want, without worrying about other people's feelings, but most ordinary people are not qualified to suffer from this disease, and parents will hold and suck it at home, but Going out of the house, especially after going out of the school, the princess will only be beaten to the ground, bleeding and bruised all over her body.

Until I slowly learned to swallow my anger, learned to bow my knees, and learned to consider the feelings of others.

Of course, society is made up of people after all, so it is inevitable that people retain the most basic dignity. After packaging, these characteristics are called "ability to restrain emotions", "knowledge of the world", "capable of management thinking". "And so on, it sounds relatively easy to accept and even proud of it and double the evaluation, but in any case, after all, it loses the capital and freedom of not doing what you don't want to do.

This is the price of maturity.

If possible, she would rather be immature. At school, she doesn't think about anything, she doesn't have to think about anything, eat, sleep, study, and don't have to think about other things anymore. She laughed purely like her playmate.

But three years after graduation, she experienced too many beatings, and she inevitably matured.

She looked curiously at Xu Rong on the set, because she had an intuition that Xu Rong was not the kind of person who would take care of others. In her impression, strength, complex thoughts, and professionalism were the most typical labels of Xu Rong. She Although she doesn't quite understand the intrigue in the crew, but from the attitude of others towards Xu Rong, she can sense something.

She didn't understand why she could smile so innocently, as if, as if she hadn't experienced any difficulties at all.

With the bell-like laughter of classmate Xiao Zhang, everyone on the set focused their attention on the door in an instant.

Although there is no filming, the scene has been filmed for two days now, and everyone is suffocating. Xiao Zhang's cheerful and unrepressed laughter seems to hit the muzzle of the gun just by chance.

After being pulled by Wang Zixuan's arm, Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped talking, and she suddenly realized that this was on the set, not at home or other places where she could make loud noises at will.

When Zheng Baorui heard the laughter, he immediately became angry: "Laughing at you."

He had just begun his scolding, when he suddenly noticed that Xu Rong next to him raised his head with a "chuckle", his eyes were fixed on him, and he looked like he would do something to him in the next second.

Zheng Baorui swallowed the rest of the words in shock, and he slowly turned his head to look at the source of the voice.

It seemed that it was the girl Xu Rong ran over to see just now.

He wished he could give himself a big slap, so he turned his neck quietly and glanced at Xu Rong quietly, only to see that Xu Rong was still staring at him so straight.

The anger and fear on his face turned into dissatisfaction in an instant, and he yelled at a few field managers who were standing at the door: "Pu Jie boy, are your eyes in your crotch? If you don't see any guests coming to visit the class, don't you?" Do you know how to move a chair?"

While yelling, he trotted towards classmate Xiao Zhang with two long legs, and grabbed a folding chair along the way, but before he came to him, he saw that Luo Jinfu had moved the chair a step ahead of him. Arrived in front of classmate Xiao Zhang.

Luo Jinfu's face and the smooth forehead caused by baldness were smiling like chrysanthemums blooming in September, and he said to Xiao Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, right? You should sit and rest for a while, Mr. Xu estimates that it will take half a day." busy."

Zheng Baorui stared at this scene from where he stood, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times in disdain, and he muttered in a low voice: "Death to the street!"

Wang Zixuan listened to the suppressed laughter around her, and Luo Jinfu's attentiveness that seemed to be unaware of everything, and finally her eyes returned to Xu Rong.

When classmate Xiao Zhang was laughing just now, she clearly saw a helpless smile on Xu Rong's face, but when Zheng Baorui's swear words just came out, he was like an enraged lion, and he would tear Zheng Baorui apart in the next moment. Broken posture.

At this time, she somewhat understood why Xiao Zhang could laugh so purely, and at the same time realized that Xu Rong was not as calm as she knew, but in his heart, even if the crew collapsed, the emotions brought The volatility may not keep up with Xiao Zhang being scolded.

Sitting in the corridor, Sun Honglei didn't notice what happened in a short while, because his attention was not on Xu Rong's girlfriend at all.

The fate of the characters.

Xu Rong's girlfriend's summary of the story, or the answer to the question, made him feel suddenly enlightened.

When I was in school, many teachers in the school objected to students writing biographies. These teachers included some old actors and directors specially hired by the school from Renyi to teach.

However, Xu Rong's views are inconsistent with the current mainstream views in the industry. He deliberately read articles published by Xu Rong, and many of them emphasized the importance of biographies. He only needs to know that soaking the freshly boiled eggs in cold water will make them easier to peel. There is no need to explore why it is easy to peel, because it doesn't seem to make much sense to know.

After being reminded by Xu Rong's girlfriend just now, he suddenly realized that the key point of analyzing characters is that the fate of the characters is in the same line as the biography theory he insisted on.

A character is in a specified situation constructed by the script, the character and the specified situation must not come out of thin air, he has a growth experience, and these growth experiences determine the character's likes and dislikes, right and wrong, good and evil, so Xu Rong has a certain way of thinking about the biography. It is a kind of paranoia, because if this link is completely missing, there will be omissions or even a blank in the fate of the characters.

And the difference in the importance of this link has led to the difference in the way of acting. Nowadays, writing biographies is not respected in the performance industry, so in the process of analyzing characters, actors naturally pay attention to the character and characteristics of the characters. Xu Rong believes that writing biographies Necessary, his focus must start from the fate of the characters.

But he didn't quite understand one thing. He believed that the "character's fate" that Xu Rong's girlfriend said was what the audience cared about most, because the story told by Xu Rong did prove that even if the character and traits of the characters are completely missing However, it can still maintain a strong attraction.

But in any case, the fate of the characters is still at the theoretical level, and acting is a purely practical skill.

In the past, he has always insisted on using "character" as the basis for designing character actions, that is, lines, body and other presentation methods, but now, he recognizes the importance of the key point of "character's fate", but he always feels that the theory There is a huge gap with the actual operation.

Thinking of this, he got up, came behind Du Qifeng, and looked at the picture on the monitor.

This scene has been filmed no less than [-] times, but Xu Rong will not repeat the presentation method of the previous filming every time. For ordinary people, this does not seem to be difficult, because it is difficult for ordinary people to do without professional training To basically repeat the previous performance.

However, actors need it. Due to the limitations of camera positions, angles, and scenes, many scenes cannot be shot in one pass. They need to be shot N times from various angles. foot, the next time you enter the door, step on your right foot first, no matter how powerful the editing is, there is no way to catch the trick.

But what surprised him was that under the same emotion, Xu Rong made subtle adjustments every time, and this adjustment did not give people the slightest sense of disobedience, just like an ordinary person living a normal life, except that the only The difference is that there are a few more machines.

Now he knew why, but it was still difficult to understand.

When Sun Honglei asked this question during the break, Xu Rong explained more concisely this time, saying: "I always think that the ultimate goal of our acting is not acting, but acting."

Everyone has their own ideas and choices, just like many mainland audiences think that Hong Kong actors don't need to learn performance theory at all, and their performances are all derived from the most real feedback from life.

Xu Rong believes that there must be such people in Hong Kong, because the so-called performance theory is a summary of life and performance practice for hundreds of years from generation to generation. In addition to the methods of major schools, he recreates a set of his own In the perception of some mainland audiences, it is whimsical for mainland actors, but it is a matter of course for Hong Kong actors.

The theory of "acting people" is the consistent concept and the highest pursuit of Renyi. Its essence is to make the audience feel that the people on the stage are alive and real.

But for this goal, he is now exploring, learning, and accumulating, just like the famous sayings in the Analects of Confucius. After more than 2000 years of testing, each sentence is a high-level summary of human affairs, but reading alone is meaningless and has no personal meaning. It is difficult to "understand" its truth through experience.

In the evening, at a hot pot restaurant, Xu Rong brought Xiao Zhang, Xu Xing, Wang Yaqin, Li Gen and Wang Zixuan to dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xing looked at the bustling business and said: "Brother, I think many people are opening restaurants, hot pot restaurants and so on. The business is booming. How about we open one too?"

Xu Rong glanced at the waiter in front of him and said, "I'll tell you what's going on later."

After entering the private room, before taking a seat, Xu Rong saw that Li Gen was about to follow Xu Xing in, grabbed him, and pressed him to a position near the door.

Li Gen looked at him in bewilderment, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you dragging me?"

When he asked, Xiao Zhang, Xu Xing, Wang Yaqin, and Wang Zixuan, who had found their seats consciously in the room, all stared at him blankly, with strange expressions on their faces.

Classmate Xiao Zhang handed the coat to the waiter and asked someone to wrap it up. He laughed and said, "Of course I want you to help pick up and serve the dishes. Xu Xing and I just came here. You can't let Teacher Xu sit there, can you?"

Li Gen used to eat with his buddies and friends often, but he was never so particular about it. He looked around the room, Xu Rong and his sister-in-law must not be able to do it, otherwise he would be ready to pack up and leave tomorrow. And Xu Xing is Xu Rong's younger sister, and she just came here today, so naturally there is no reason to sit near the door. As for Wang Zixuan, she is the only outsider among the people at the table, so naturally there is no reason to let the guests serve.

The only ones left were Wang Yaqin and herself.

It stands to reason that both of them can do it, but Wang Yaqin usually works much more than himself. Looking at it this way, he just stretched his neck and walked in. Was it really wrong?
When the waiter left, Xu Rongcai looked at Xu Xing and said, "They must make money to open a hot pot restaurant. If they don't make money, they can't explain the abnormal income."

No matter how much more, he can't say much, this is an unspoken rule in the industry, but after all, in front of outsiders, if at home, there are only Xiao Zhang and Xu Xing, he has no taboo, even though theoretically, Li Gen and Wang Zixuan trust each other. people, but artists who have been overwhelmed by their remarks probably think so when they speak out.

"What time did you leave?"

"It was agreed last night, but my sister-in-law said it in the morning"

"You're talking nonsense, why is my car not slow at all, okay?" Xiao Zhang blinked her eyes and frantically hinted at Wang Zixuan. Boil a bowl of fresh and tender chicken soup for your friends.

"It's another day full of energy, let's do morning classes!"

And Wang Zixuan, who was sitting next to Wang, was one of the people who drank the chicken soup!

Xu Rong looked at the interaction between the two with a smile, and naturally understood the root cause of Xiao Zhang's impatience. She was caught visiting gold shops by the media not once or twice.

Chatting and chatting, watching this guy pick up several slices of beef for Xu Xing with his chopsticks, and half of the raw meat was taken away by him, Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang looked at each other. Why did you have to bite the bullet and get in.

I have ideas for Xu Xing!

It's just that unlike the blazing fire of gossip burning in Xiao Zhang's eyes, Xu Rong is not optimistic about Li Gen at all.

Xu Xing was seven or eight months younger than him, almost on par with Li Gen, but his mental maturity was not comparable to Li Gen.

Most importantly, she knew full well that she liked money, needed money, and wanted to marry a rich man.

Her view of love is very similar to that of a woman over 30 years old. She can have no love, but she must not have no material things. If Li Gen pursues her, Xu Xing will probably look at his face and send Li Gen a good person card. It will only be humiliating.

However, he had no intention of persuading Li Gen to quit despite difficulties. Li Gen's life since he was a child was too smooth, and he almost never encountered too many setbacks. The only time his father suffered from cancer, he was still young, and he didn't have a clear understanding of the situation at that time. Cognition, and later Teacher Li Xuejian also survived.

He needs to experience some reality and shock as his motivation to move forward, and Xu Xing is just the most suitable one.
