I'm just an actor

Chapter 473 Benefits
Xu Rong pinched the eyeshadow brush, sat firmly on the stool, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in the mirror.

After studying Peking Opera, he realized that the tradition of Renyi actors to make up for themselves comes from traditional operas. Because operas do not have internal skills such as experience, emotional memory, and emotional replacement, they can only rely on external means to find the state of characters, while Renyi Most of the actors and directors are either Peking opera actors, or have been involved in it, and this habit has naturally been preserved.

At this time, Xu Rong had doubts about this auxiliary method.

Inexplicably, a western face with thin face, disheveled hair and sunken eye sockets suddenly appeared in his mind.

Antonin Artaud.

One of the directors and theater theorists who have had the most profound influence on contemporary theater.

He used to be very unimpressed with Aalto's theatrical ideas. After reading Aalto's works, he strongly suspected that the drug-addicted and schizophrenic drama theorist might not have known what he was thinking. , what to do.

Aalto's ideas are extremely loose and even metaphysical. On the one hand, he emphasizes that drama should get rid of all kinds of social meanings, break all kinds of rules and regulations, and move towards some kind of mystery and unknown. On the other hand, he insists that actors' actions should always be precise and extremely Against improvisation.

At this moment, pinching the eyeshadow brush, Xu Rong seemed to understand what Aalto wanted to express.

Take eye shadow as an example. In film and television drama performances, painting eye shadow is a very convenient shortcut. If an actor plays a villain, and his eyes, body and language skills cannot express the characteristics of the "villain", then paint Purple, black eye shadow or lipstick can make up for it to a large extent.

But this is exactly the opposite of the root of the birth of the performance. On the one hand, this kind of performance is closer to the rules and meanings (villains) given by humans. On the other hand, because of the replacement of actors with eye shadows, actors relax and even act as they want.

At present, both Eastern and Western theater circles agree that theatrical performance originated from ancient sacrifices.

In the end, Xu Rong put down the eye shadow brush again, which was slightly different from Aalto's idea. The idea he put down the eye shadow brush was not Aalto's "return to pure ritual", but borrowed from Grotowski's "body's He holds the view of "infinite potential", but differs from the two. He still believes that whether it is "return" or "potential", all external manifestations must be under "control".

Since he entered Nortel, he has been influenced by the performance style of human art. Even though he has jumped out of the barriers of the human art system, he has not completely broken the scale of realism. The purpose of the performance is to guide the audience to understand the common or uncommon to think.

Just like he has always hoped that the screenwriters in the academy could write a script that truly reflects the current issues of education, medical care, housing, and pensions. However, for Aalto, such a drama is meaningless.

At [-]:[-], Xu Rong walked out of the dressing room in a long gown and came to the backstage entrance.

A bunch of young actors had already been set up on the side curtain sometime, and all of them looked at Xu Rong who was walking slowly in long gowns, with different expressions, but no one made a sound.

Song Yi, who was quietly pushing back, suddenly stopped Ji Pu's body, and she vaguely felt that she seemed to have stepped on a foot, but it seemed that she hadn't stepped on it.

The reason why she wasn't completely sure was that she couldn't hear the sound of "ah" or "ow" that symbolized pain from someone around her.

Standing behind Song Yi, Lei Jia gritted his teeth and held his anger in his mouth.

The little girl is not tall, but quite heavy!
In front of them, there stood a thin figure that had the effect of a silencer, Feng Yuanzheng.

In the first meeting after Xu Rong took office, he put forward the actor team management concept of "selecting cadres from the backbone and cultivating the backbone from the cadres".

For students Song Yi and Xiao Zhang, this is pure nonsense, no different from "inheriting the tradition of human art and continuing to write new glory".

But for those who are more sensitive, the meaning expressed is more complicated. Translated into vernacular, it is: the actor team still has one positive, one negative and two empty edits, and everyone has a chance.

The result is that Feng Yuan is fully assisting Yang Lixin in the management of the cast team.

Compared with "Drug Wars", which is not on the top of the list at all, Renyi's actors, especially young actors, are looking forward to today's "Thunderstorm" performance.

"Thunderstorm" was the old dean's work to establish his status as a master, and today's performance was also Xu Rong's first performance after winning the title of master.

A collaboration between two masters of the 21th and [-]st centuries.

When Xu Rong approached, Pu Cunxi keenly noticed the difference in Xu Rong's body. His hair was still neatly combed, and there was not a single wrinkle in his gown, but the makeup on his face was much lighter.

When Xu Rong came to him, he whispered earnestly: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you have to eat food bite by bite, and you have to walk step by step on the road."

He guessed the purpose of Xu Rong's doing this. To reduce props and aids, he must increase the expressiveness of his body, eyes, and language to achieve the same effect.

"I'm just doing an experiment."

Xu Rong watched Pu Cunxi's face tense when he heard his words, and said first: "I want to criticize you, you, an actor of the Stuart system, are you still in the mood to care about other things at this time?"

"I went up to draw a shrimp, but you act as a shrimp!"

"What a blind asshole!" Pu Cunxi was choked, and shook his head with a helpless smile. He didn't immediately realize that Xu Rong was no longer an actor of the Strike system, so he instinctively wanted to correct his attitude.

"You are painting the shrimp in your heart, and I am painting the real shrimp."

Pu Cunxi explained like superfluous, of course he understands Xu Rong's joke, but the young people around may not understand it.

If you don't understand it, it's nothing, but if you understand it and take it seriously.

Xu Rong is now the vice president of the two institutes, and a leader in the rise of the mainland film and television industry. Not to mention that he is busy all day and can't find anyone, even in the courtyard, except for a few people who are familiar with him, he may not dare to block him He asked for advice. Once a wrong perception is formed because of one of his jokes, an incalculable price may be paid.

Hearing this, Xu Rong looked at Pu Cunxi's serious face and nodded thoughtfully. Although the outside world called him a master, he never felt that he was a master, and he never considered his own influence on his surroundings.

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly realized that today is different from the past after all. His words and deeds in performance may be heard by others and regarded as a standard. Maybe a joke of his will mislead others astray and delay for many years time.

He turned his head and said to the actor beside him: "I was joking with Pu Yuan just now, don't take it seriously."

Seeing that Song Yi and Yuan Yu were both loitering in the crowd, he was inexplicably relieved.

Song Yi is good at everything, down-to-earth and obedient, but his brain is not very bright, Yuan Yu is on the contrary, clever, transparent, and has a particularly good talent, but he is not very down-to-earth.

In fact, the two of them didn't have a cat either, probably Song Yi was too short, in the middle of a group of elders, only the tip of his head was exposed, as if he squatted down on purpose.

Song Yi looked at Xu Rong's encouraging gaze, and almost put a question mark on his forehead, didn't he notice that he pushed the door in at all just now?

After getting along for a long time, she also understood Teacher Xu's temper. To others, he may have two or three meanings when speaking, but to himself, he is always honest and never hides it. He is what he is. Never mix even a little bit of extraneous voice.

At this time, a group of young people standing behind Feng Yuanzheng suddenly became very interested in Xu Rong's performance system.

This is so awesome, it's about to go on stage, and it doesn't even need to be in the brewing state.

Listening to the sudden messy breathing behind him, Feng Yuan forcibly suppressed the urge to criticize.

After all, Xu Rong was performing for the first time today, and he didn't know if the performance was good or bad. If the performance was a mess, how hard Xu Rong was blown up now, and how much he would be slapped in the face later.

As Zhang Wankun, who played Lu Gui, and Xin Yue, who played Sifeng, entered the stage, the side curtain was completely quiet, not even a single noise.

"Sifeng!"

"Sifeng!"

"Drink, it's really hot."

"."

Xu Rong didn't look at the stage, but frowned slightly after listening to each of the two's lines.

Compared with last year, Zhang Wankun and Xin Yue's grasp of their respective roles has not improved significantly, or even not improved at all.

For a repertory actor, this is unreasonable.

After learning Peking Opera, especially after he was still a double singer and a craftsman, he gradually realized the similarities between drama and opera.

Or the commonality of stage art.

As Shang Changrong said, the audience is willing to watch as many times as you can practice a play.

Even for a genius like Mei Lanfang, the repertoire he is good at is limited, and even among his major masterpieces, there are also selections that he is good at and not so good at.

"How many times to practice" is of course not the purpose. The purpose is to make every word, every word, and every action the most suitable for the situation and the actor, so that the audience can feel that every sentence and every action of the character contains meaning. The beauty of art.

When Yu Zhen, who played Lu Dahai, came to the stage, Xu Rong's closed eyes suddenly opened.

What the hell are Yu Zhen and Xin Yue doing? !

Originally the acting was good, why both of them can't act when Yu Zhenyi came on stage?

The good brother and sister are actually played by the two as a couple?
He glanced at Yu Mingjia, who was looking at him suspiciously, and took a breath between his teeth.

The two main actors have problems at the same time. This scene is not easy to perform.

"If they want to perform, I will accompany them to perform and see who has the last laugh!"

Cai Yuexun looked at the group mocking "Ruffian Hero" on the Internet due to the soaring Douban score of "Drug Wars", holding his rosary and silently sneered.

He never expected that the publisher of "Drug Wars" would act so lowly, even hiring water soldiers to review Douban ratings, and then use this rhythm to suppress opponents and improve themselves.

It is obvious that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps. Before, he was warned by China Film for just satirizing "Drug War" and "Painted Skin 2" over-marketing.

Since "Drug Wars" started first, we can't blame him for being unreasonable. There is a high probability that he will be finished this time when he goes north, but before he is finished, no one can think about it!
When he, Mr. Cai, was struggling in the film and television industry, how many people in China really understood movies?

Yu Xiaohui looked at her husband's indignation, but hesitated to speak.

Yesterday she found time to watch "Drug Wars" and "Painted Skin 2".

After all, locking the market is not a long-term solution, and it is a good signal that the box office of "Hero Rabbit" rose to 600 million the next day.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you adopt a reasonable strategy.

What shocked her was not the films of "Drug Wars" and "Painted Skin 2" themselves, but the audience's enthusiasm for the two films.

On the way back yesterday, she had been thinking about how to persuade her husband to lock up the market.

It is true that lock-in is a low-cost and high-return means to increase the box office. Some viewers cannot buy tickets for "Drug Wars" and "Painted Skin 2" and will choose to watch "Heroes of the Ruffian", but more of them choose to leave.

If the audience's enthusiasm is not satisfied, it will turn into resentment and even anger in the theater.

On the premise of not harming the interests of the theater, the theater doesn't care whether it is locked or not, but once the core interests are touched, no matter how good-tempered a person is, they will show their sharp fangs.

She grew up in Taiwan, and she also knows the proverb that "cutting people's wealth is like killing their parents".

"Oh!"

"Why don't these people die!"

In the manager's office of a cinema, a chubby young man in his early twenties slammed his cell phone on the table.

His name is Guo Cheng, he is 23 years old, and he is the owner of three theaters.

Considering his age, he can be regarded as successful in his career now, and it is also true. Among all his classmates, he is the best.

In other words, he has been the most successful since college.

When he was a freshman, he earned his first pot of gold in his life by selling peanuts, beer, mineral water, cigarettes, drinks, and fried chicken legs at a premium in the dormitory building.

In his sophomore year, because he held a position in the student union of the college, he bought 35 sets of daily necessities at a price of 1000 sets, and added home delivery service at a price of 200 to earn the second pot of gold in his life.

With his second pot of gold, he bought an apartment and converted it into a hotel. This failed investment caused him to lose almost all the money he had earned before.

But he was not overwhelmed by the momentary failure.

In his junior year, he made a comeback by organizing students from all over the city to go to Yiwu for an internship (winter and summer job).

By the time he was in his senior year, he fully opened up his own business landscape. Bars, apartments, and hot pot restaurants opened successively, and his savings reached one million before he graduated.

It wasn't until one day that he saw Xu Rong's speech at an award ceremony that he suddenly realized that there was a ceiling for what he did.

The entertainment market is the next outlet, the next blue ocean, and the next trillion-level market.

He wants to build China's Disney!
After entering the theater industry, Guo Cheng found that Xu Rong was not lying. The entertainment industry is indeed a profitable industry, and theater audiences earn much more money than students.

Although Xu Rong provided him with ideas, he didn't take special care of "Drug War" starring Xu Rong, and he couldn't take special care of it.

Taking care of Xu Rong is like making trouble with money!
