I'm not illiterate

Chapter 14 Advance by leaps and bounds, fill me up (read more)
It has to be said that books are really the ladder of human progress.

And Xu Mu himself is good at climbing stairs, so he quickly read this book.

Also acquired a lot of knowledge.

For example, the human speech organ is divided into several parts.

Respiratory organs (lungs, trachea, diaphragm, thorax, abdominal muscles) play a driving role in pronunciation and are called the engine of sound.

The vocal cords of the laryngo act as the sound source;
The oral cavity, pharyngeal cavity, nasal cavity, chest cavity, and head cavity are responsible for controlling the loudness and timbre of the sound.

The lips, teeth, tongue, and jaw are responsible for articulating words.

A qualified actor usually needs to do breath training, and the organs mentioned above must be trained.

In addition, there is also training in articulation. For example, it is difficult to read some Chinese characters together quickly, and special training is required.

If you are not convinced, you can try the words "break on a moonlit night".

So the old saying often goes, "the voice is gifted, but the mouth needs artificiality."

And this book also introduces how to train breath and articulation, which is very impressive.

Xu Mu is like a sponge, frantically absorbing this knowledge.

Gradually, two hours passed.

Xu Mu also finished reading the booklet.

The moment he put down the book, a system voice sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the reading of the book "Into the Lines Class". This reading usually takes 2.4 hours, and the reward skill point*2."

There are no explosive skills, and there are no explosive works.

But after being reminded by the system, Xu Mu realized that he still had the 4 skill points he had saved before, which were useless.

Lie down on a chair and turn on the system.

Attributes:
(Basic class) breath: D (3/20) +;

(Basic class) Enunciation: E (9/10) +;

(Basic class) Faith: D (0/20) +;

Special skills:
(Acting) Crying scene: E (4/10) +;

(Music) General music theory: D (6/20) +;

(Acting category) Teenager's Affectionate Gaze: D (0/20)+;

[Skill points: 6].

Xu Mu is not going to add these two newly acquired skills, and now he will focus on breathing and articulation.

Xu Mu tentatively pressed the plus sign twice behind the breath attribute.

Then what?
It seems like nothing.

But in the next second, there was a sudden change, and Xu Mu suddenly felt a piercing pain in his waist, abdomen, chest cavity and under his ribs.

"Hiss..." Xu Mu, who was defenseless, took a breath of cold air in pain, and felt his eyes darken.

Soon, the sore feeling dissipated.

Xu Mu felt tired for a while.

Breathing heavily.

"What is this?" Xu Mu shouted.

With this shout, Xu Mu felt something was wrong.

His voice became a little louder, and the muscles in his waist and abdomen could clearly feel that they were exerting force.

Xu Mu opened the property panel again.

Breath skill has become D (5/20).

And the articulation actually increased a bit, from E (9/10) to D (0/20);
At this moment, Xu Mu suddenly realized.

It's the muscles. The system changed the muscle strength of his respiratory organs and strengthened his aura, and the change in his aura also improved his articulation.

Sure enough, breath is the source.

Whether you are an actor or a singer, breath is the most basic.

"Fill me up!" Xu Mu gritted his teeth and pressed down.

Then he felt like a vibrating belt was installed in his body, and there were bursts of soreness buzzing.

The ensuing weakness made him almost fall asleep.

Fortunately, the film crew had dinner in time, so Xu Mu rushed out and ate three boxed meals in a row before he felt he had recovered a bit.

"You practiced so hard on the first day?" Hu Yueping wondered to himself.

……

From the time he finished his meal until he returned home at night, Xu Mu read "Into the Lines Class" again and saved two skill points.

Before going to sleep, he gritted his teeth and put all of it on his breath.

The next day, after Xu Mu arrived at the crew, he filmed the scene for an hour, then returned to his small room, and read the book again.

This time, he added all of the two points to the articulation.

Good guy.

That sourness made Xu Mu feel his mouth numb and his tongue tired, as if he had just experienced a tongue kiss.

He was moving his mouth there, when Hu Yueping walked in: "It's not enough to just read a book, you have to open your mouth, and from now on, you'll be wandering around in this warehouse to practice!"

Xu Mu himself almost threw up reading this book, so he started to practice directly.

After Hu Yueping left, Xu Mu sat cross-legged.

"Straighten your back and neck, and breathe naturally."

"Using the hip as the axis, when exhaling, lean forward until the breath is exhausted. When inhaling, the body returns to the sitting state, and at the same time feel the confrontation between the abdominal muscles and the thigh muscles."

This is the waist and abdomen breathing training method written in the book, and Xu Mu followed it while reciting silently in his heart.

After half an hour, change to another position.

At the end of the morning, Xu Mu found that his breath skill had actually increased by two points.

In this way, Xu Mu's regular life began.

When there is a movie, when there is no movie, read the book twice a day, gain four points, and then practice breath for three hours and practice articulation for three hours.

For the remaining 14 hours, strictly eat and rest.

That's it, I'm as tired as a dog.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past four days, the crew watched Xu Mu wandering in the warehouse, reading books, meditating, and reciting jingles.

On the afternoon of July 7, Xu Mu practiced jingles in his small room.

"The old dragon is angry with the old farmer, and the old farmer is angry with the old dragon. The farmer is angry and the dragon is angry with the farmer, and the dragon is angry with the farmer and the dragon is afraid of the farmer." This is an exercise in distinguishing the pronunciation of n and l in the enunciation exercise.

After practicing for half an hour, Xu Mu opened the system panel:
breath: C (3/30) +;

Articulation: C (0/30) +;

Xu Mu doesn't know if this kind of progress is considered great, but now he feels that his mouth is very flexible.

At this moment, Hu Yueping knocked on the door.

"Xu Mu, how is your practice going?"

When Xu Mu opened the door, he realized that there were many workers gathered in the warehouse.

Someone was packing up, someone was sitting drinking coffee.

"It's finally over."

"A lot of shots have been reshot, and our progress is slow."

Xu Mu suddenly realized that, judging from the current situation outside, the campus scenes must have been re-shot.

Hu Yueping walked in and lit a cigarette: "Today, for our crew, the shooting of the school scene is completely over, and the next filming will be the scene ten years later. You will not stutter then."

"So how's the training going?"

Hu Yueping was actually very kind to Xu Mu. As a director, he knew that his lines could not be mastered overnight, but even if he spared three days, he still wanted Xu Mu to practice.

"I feel that I have made some progress." Xu Mu replied.

"Come on, it's the same scene as before, let's do it again."

Hu Yueping handed over the previous piece of paper again.

Xu Mu has practiced the lines on this piece of paper no less than a hundred times.

Putting the A4 paper aside, Xu Mu took a deep breath, feeling that his lungs were full and full of breath.

"Mr. Liu."

He paused, making the two words very full.

"The fact that we can sit together today is the result of the hard work of dozens or even hundreds of people under the two companies..."

Xu Mu's voice was not too loud, even a little deep, but he could hear every word clearly.

And he re-read the words "dozens or even hundreds of people".

The book "Into the Lines Class" says that "rereading is the life of a sentence, and it represents the inner feelings of the character."

It's like the accent of the word "fuck" is different, and the emotion is completely different.

"Huh?" Hu Yueping turned his head.

Handled well.

Xu Mu continued to read: "Mr. Liu, your factory area is worth about 20 billion... This cleaning fee is not a small sum..."

Hu Yueping stopped smoking and squinted at Xu Mu's mouth.

angry?

Why can't I hear the sound of breathing?
Because of the strong breathing muscles, Xu Mu rarely takes breaths, and even if he takes a breath, it is insignificant.

When Xu Mu finished reading all the lines, Hu Yueping was stunned.

Although emotionally not full enough, but in terms of breathing and articulation, Xu Mu is now almost like a professional actor.

But after thinking about it, Hu Yueping thought of another possibility.

"You didn't practice this section in four days, did you?"

If you only practice this section for four days, it is really possible to achieve this effect.

"I also practiced other things."

Hu Yueping didn't believe it. He picked up the "Into the Lines Class" that was about to be torn apart by Xu Mu, and found a tongue twister.

"You read it again."

Xu Mu glanced at it, and blurted out: "The snake circles around the brick pile, and after turning around the brick pile, drills into the brick pile."

The words are crisp, fast and accurate.

This is a tongue twister used to train the pronunciation of zh and z.

Xu Mulian was sneaky.

Hu Yueping was stunned.

"Is this the result of four days of practice?"

This fucking must be at least a few months of work even in art college.

In the next second, Hu Yueping became angry.

He slammed the door and walked out with a ferocious face and twisted corners of his mouth: "God's Tianxing, what a good seedling you guys have ruined!"

Well, Tianxing has taken the blame again.

The crew looked at Hu Yueping, not understanding what happened.

"What's the matter with the director?"

"I don't know, he's been having such convulsions recently."

"It's also possible that Xu Mu was angry. I watched the video of Xu Mu's last filming test. The lines said, as if he had a belt in his mouth."

That night, the crew disbanded early, everyone went home to rest, and the crew will make specific arrangements tomorrow morning.

This was also the first time in the past week that Xu Mu returned to his apartment before nine o'clock.

He was just about to take a good rest when Xie Chen knocked on the door again.

There was also a case of beer and several boxes of lo-mei in his hand.

"What are you doing, Brother Chen, why don't you drink some wine!"

In the past few days, Xu Mu practiced his lines, and Xie Chen was busy with other people's affairs.

I didn't expect him to come back so early today.

Xie Chen put down the things in his hands, then took out his mobile phone, pointed to a trending search on Weibo and said, "Did you see that, the first episode of "Question of the Ancients" will air at 9 o'clock today, and it has been publicized for a week. It became a little hot search before it aired."

Xu Mu really didn't pay attention to this matter, he just played with his tongue these days.

"Brother Chen, do you like this show?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "I don't like it."

Then he opened a can of beer with an extremely proud expression: "But there is a song to be sung in this first episode, and I know the author of this song!"

Xu Mu: "???"

At this moment, Xie Chen has turned on the computer: "Come on, let's listen to this song together later. A group of people on Si Le said that this song won't become popular just by reading the lyrics. I don't believe it."
