This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 399 Ding Xiu's Acting Skills Ten Years Ago
"understand?"

At this point in the performance, Ding Xiu stopped and said to Zhou Wei.

"Understood." Zhou Yiwei nodded in confusion.

The assistant director shouted: "Take a break for 10 minutes, and all departments are ready."

These 10 minutes are Zhou Yiwei’s digestion time. Ding Xiu’s acting skills are really strong. Obviously the lines are the same, and the facial expressions are similar, but the taste of the performance is better than Zhou Wei’s. Anyone with long eyes can see this. up.

Zhou Yiwei sat on the side resting, all he could think about was Ding Xiu's performance just now.

I didn't expect this guy who was only two or three years older than me to be so good at acting.

When talking about Ding Xiu, the word idol is inseparable. Many people say that he is an idol, not an actor, because the film and television dramas he starred in are all popular fairy tales in ancient costumes, mostly martial arts.

This kind of drama mainly eats appearance, and good looks rank first.

Over time, many people have forgotten that Ding Xiu has acting skills.

It's not that Zhou Yiwei has never watched Ding Xiu's play, but watching it in front of the TV and watching it on the spot are completely different concepts, especially when he is playing the same role, the gap immediately becomes apparent.

He used to think that he was not much worse than Ding Xiu, but today, it seems that it is not 01:30.

When Zhou Yiwei was in a daze, a hand behind him was placed on his shoulder.

"Let you keep a low profile usually, have you been hit?"

Zhou Yiwei looked back, it was Jin Yiwei Zhang Songwen.

The crew also had group performances, those Jin Yiwei were, Zhang Songwen didn't receive a play in Beiping, so he happened to come here to earn some pocket money.

Under the recommendation of Zhou Yiwei, he successfully became a special actor, becoming a Jin Yiwei with few roles and no lines.

Of course, Zhang Songwen mainly brought students here to earn some pocket money. He is a teacher from Nortel. Although his salary is not high, he would not come to be a special actor.

I came here just recently for the summer vacation, and brought a few students out to practice.

He came to this crew because Zhou Yiwei was around, he was easier to talk to, and he was idle, so he played a guest role in Jin Yiwei.

He witnessed the whole process of Zhou Wei NG just now, including Ding Xiu who came to reenact it.

Zhou Yiwei was helpless: "Aren't I usually low-key enough? I have gone to the countryside to live in tile-roofed houses, so I'm not low-key?"

Ignoring his nonsense, Zhang Songwen said: "Ding Xiu's quack school is different from our academic school's performance. You should be curious, why Ding Xiu's performance is not changed under the premise of not changing the lines and tone. Will be stronger than you?"

"Because his acting tends to be life-like. You eat steamed buns too elegantly. You don't look like a hungry person at all. Look at Ding Xiu. The food is delicious, as if you are really hungry. There is no trace of performance at all."

"The scene where he was choking on dry food and swallowing it forcibly was very real. Later, when he saw the money, he immediately threw away the steamed bun. In an instant, the image of a prodigal son with an eye for money gained a foothold."

"I don't know if you noticed, but when he was picking up the money, he wiped his hands on his clothes, and he also has the sense of sight of a low-level person."

"You two have different acting styles. Ding Xiu is a real low-level prodigal son. The characters are very real. You acted like a hero who can't eat fireworks. If I hadn't read your script, I would have thought you were acting decent. .”

Before that, Zhou Yiwei always felt that he was not weaker than Ding Xiu, but he never felt that he was stronger than this brother in the upper bunk.

Zhang Songwen, this is a good actor who has been buried.

I came out of the society in my teens, worked in many industries and met many people. I usually like to walk around the streets and observe the characteristics of people from all walks of life.

Carry a small notebook with you, and write whatever comes to your mind.

Although he came from a major, his performance was not academic at all. On the contrary, it was more quack, but not completely quack, because the skills that should be in the performance did not fall behind at all, and he blended in very well.

In short, this is a person who combines the Jianghu school and the academic school very powerfully.

Zhou Yiwei even felt that Zhang Songwen's acting skills were no worse than those who watched the emperor and actor.

After Zhang Songwen's analysis just now, his vision expanded a lot, and he grasped the key point of Ding Xiu's role in an instant.

The low-level little man, the prodigal son, is close to life.

This is one of the tags of the character.

Combined with Ding Xiu's demonstration, he felt that he had understood this role thoroughly.

"You don't need to say, I already knew this, okay?" Zhou Yiwei was moved in his heart, but on the surface he didn't buy it at all.

Zhang Songwen smiled: "It's good that you know, you come to act, don't lose the chain for a while."

"Are you kidding me, I'm going to lose the chain?"

"That might not be the case."

"You can't expect me to order well, can you?"

After a few words, Zhou Yiwei performed it on his own, and felt that it was almost done, so he told the director that he could start.

This time, Ding Xiu sat in front of the monitor and carefully watched Zhou Yiwei and Song Yang's performance.

In the dark alley, Zhou Yiwei came out, eating steamed buns in his hands, playing around, not chic, not elegant, some just wretched and calm.

In order to get closer to the character, he also stained his clothes.

"Brother."

Song Yang started the conversation.

In front of the monitor, Ding Xiu folded his hands on his chest and squinted at the performance of the two.

He had watched the previous replays. Zhou Yiwei's acting skills were not like this. He could perform to this level in just a few minutes. I have to say, it is very powerful.

This time, he has a thorough understanding of the role, and Ding Xiu knows that his performance will not be bad without watching it any further.

Thinking of something, he asked, "I saw Zhou Yiwei talking to a Jin Yiwei just now, who is that person?"

He got enlightened so quickly, it was because of the advice of an expert, he felt that it had something to do with that Jin Yiwei.

The assistant director has been watching from the sidelines. When Ding Xiu asked, he immediately said, "That man is a teacher from Nortel, surnamed Zhang, and a friend of Zhou Yiwei."

Of course he couldn't remember a small special contract, but Mr. Nortel came to be the only special contract, and he remembered it clearly.

In yesterday's group play, this teacher Zhang gave a lecture to his students, and he just listened to a few words on the sidelines. I have to say that he is worthy of being a teacher from Nortel. very big.

"Nortel's teacher, come here as a special appointment?" Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment.

Very rare indeed.

Not to mention now, it was ten years ago, when he was still working in Beijing Film Studio, when the students of Beidian went to the film crew, there were very few special appointments, and they all looked down on them.

Usually, they rush to the director's hotel with their resumes, and the interviewees are either protagonists or supporting actors.

Special contract, who do you look down on?

It’s not 01:30 when the market has improved in the past few years. Nortel’s remuneration is generally not low, and few people value small special contracts without lines.

So Ding Xiu was surprised for a few seconds when he heard that Nortel's teacher came to be a special appointment.

"He came here to guide the students, and his students are also in our group." Afraid that Ding Xiu thought that he could only act on special contract, the assistant director explained: "According to him, teaching is based on precepts and deeds, so I have to accept a role, let me Look at it."

"Our main roles have all been decided, and there are no major roles at this time, so we can only wrong him to play a special contract. I didn't expect him to agree very readily, saying that it was just to pass the time, and he can play anything."

"Brother Xiu, this teacher Zhang is very good at acting. I heard him give a lecture to the students. This is it." The assistant director gave a thumbs up.

Ding Xiu regained his expression, and said: "He is the teacher of Nortel anyway, don't be negligent, and arrange it later, give him the whole set, or a small supporting role."

"Besides, I'll treat everyone to supper when work is over in the evening, so you can call him and his students to get to know each other."

"Alright Brother Xiu, I will make arrangements."

The assistant director felt in his heart that it is good to be educated. As this industry is getting more and more prosperous, the threshold for actors is getting higher and higher. Before that, he even wanted to arrange his nephew to play a role in the crew.

I thought I could debut with a few more plays.

Now it seems that I still have to go to an acting school.

Academic qualifications are not necessarily useful, but graduation certificates are very useful. Many crews accept this trick. When recruiting actors, they start with majors.

……

In the evening, work was over, and Ding Xiu decided to treat guests to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

In addition to being a film and television base, Hengdian is also a tourist attraction. The most indispensable thing is people. The most indispensable thing on the streets outside is eating, drinking and having fun.

There are also a lot of foot massagers. Once it gets dark, in a slightly remote alley, neon lights start to flicker, such as sisters massage, imperial concubine bathing, fairy feet bathing...

The lobby of the restaurant was taken over by Ding Xiu, and the downstairs was full of crew members, as well as some young actors who had plays at night.

Upstairs are mainly the leading actors and assistant directors, and the heads of various departments.

In a private room, Zhou Yiwei toasted Ding Xiu, and introduced his buddy Zhang Songwen by the way: "Brother Xiu, let me introduce you, this is my buddy Zhang Songwen, who is now the teacher of Nortel, teaching acting."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been a little busy these two days. I haven't had time to say hello. Don't take it for granted."

"Brother Xiu is too polite. I will bring my students here to practice. Thanks to you for saving face, I will toast you."

After drinking a glass of wine, Ding Xiu asked: "Which class are you from Nortel? Maybe I still know your classmates."

Zhang Songwen smiled awkwardly: "I'm level [-], from the senior vocational class of Nortel's acting department, and many students in the class have changed their careers."

The Nortel Higher Vocational Class, a very old class, has now been cancelled.

Back then, it was specially set up for those who were not college entrance examination graduates but who loved acting. The requirements for cultural courses were very low, but the requirements for the students themselves were very high.

Such as height and appearance.

If you don't take both, you can only look at the acting talent if you want to go in.

"Nortel Higher Vocational Class, Huang Bo is from the Higher Vocational Class. I remember that he is a zero-level two, so he is still your junior. Unfortunately, that kid is too old to be admitted to the Department of Acting. No one wanted him, so he ended up going. Dubbing Department."

Zhang Songwen laughed: "I am actually not much younger than him when I entered the school. If I entered the school a year later, I could still meet him and maybe become friends..."

The chatterbox is open, the atmosphere is not so cold, Ding Xiu himself is a person who can chat, and Zhang Songwen is the same. He came out of the society early, got in touch with many things, and has a high mood quotient. It is easy to chat with Ding Xiu.

Coupled with professional reasons, if he doesn't want to be cold, he won't be cold.

After a meal, both sides are very comfortable.

Ding Xiu also took the initiative to leave his contact information.

This meal was originally for everyone he wanted to invite, and it was just a way to take Zhang Songwen.

I heard that he is a teacher from Nortel, so I wanted to get to know him. There are many friends and many paths.

After getting in touch with him, he didn't disappoint. Although he graduated from a higher vocational class, he is a good person with a good sense of scale and distance, and he is a person who can talk.

I haven't seen my acting skills, and it's not appropriate for people to perform at the dinner table.

However, after discussing a few words about the performance, the other party's point of view is very novel and easy to understand, presumably the acting skills should not be bad.

At night, on the way back, Zhou Yiwei smiled at Zhang Songwen: "Old Zhang, this meal is not for nothing."

"I hope." Zhang Songwen said with a flushed face.

Before he came, he knew that Ding Xiu was fond of wine, and he drank a lot just now, let alone swallowing half a catty, he was giving up his life to accompany a gentleman.

He is not pedantic, on the contrary, he is very flexible.

Drinking doesn't necessarily lead to feelings, but if you don't drink, it's easy to offend people, so he's never ambiguous when it's time to drink, especially on this occasion, it's easy to change his own destiny.

Tomorrow is going to be filming, Zhou Yiwei drank less and is very calm at the moment: "I think Ding Xiu appreciates you."

Zhang Songwen hiccupped uncomfortably, squinted his eyes and said: "This man is not simple, he doesn't speak or act like a young man in his thirties at all, I feel pressure to chat with him, and sometimes I can't touch him." read his mind."

Before seeing Ding Xiu, he thought he was a sharp young man.

It's normal to be a bit crazy to achieve such a big achievement at a young age.

But after eating a meal, he made a big mistake. Ding Xiu is not crazy, on the contrary, he is very seasoned and humble, and he feels comfortable chatting with him.

If I have to say something, it's probably because I'm a bit quack.

He seldom hides his words, does not put on airs, and gives people a sense of frankness and realism.

"That's why you think it's stressful for me to chat with him."

"That's on the set. As a director, if you don't have this bit of majesty, no one will listen to him. However, this kid has a strange view on acting, and there is something."

"Nonsense, he is the film emperor and the emperor, what do you think?"

"Damn it, you didn't say that about him before."

Zhou Yiwei was serious: "I have always respected Brother Xiu, okay?"

Zhang Songwen: "..."

This kid did admire Ding Xiu a little bit, but that was the period of martial arts training, and he usually said that his acting skills were no worse than Ding Xiu's, and he often talked about his bad luck.

There is a lot of meaning in the words that Ding Xiu is just luckier than him.

It's only been a few days, and it has become respect for Ding Xiu.

"By the way, I found that your role is a bit similar to the role played by Ding Xiu in the early years. That movie is called The Lost Martial Arts. You can go back and look it up online. It will be of reference value for you."

"Understood." Zhou Yiwei said perfunctorily.

The next day, Zhou Yiwei came to the set with dark circles under his eyes. After receiving breakfast, he found Zhang Songwen squatting in the corner drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.

"Old Zhang, you may not believe me if I tell you, but Ding Xiu's acting skills ten years ago already beat me."
