Chapter 206 Really lurking

In the corner where the extras were gathered, Zhang Guofeng squatted in the inner position, holding his mobile phone to coax his girlfriend.

Yesterday my girlfriend came to visit her. She was in a bad mood and started going over old accounts without saying a few words.

If you think about it carefully, the two of them have known each other for several years, when he was singing in a bar.

There was another girl in the bar who had a soft spot for him.

The two girls have their own merits, and he can't let go. He has no choice but to deal with them.

Because he is good at time management and good at hiding and pretending, his real girlfriend didn't even notice that he had a crush outside.

But paper could not contain the fire, because the public food was not paid in place, and the matter was eventually exposed.

His girlfriend wanted to break up with him in anger, but he promised to repent with tears in his eyes, and finally got her back and made her change her mind.

As we all know, having a girlfriend means more expenses, and for other reasons, so after being introduced by an acquaintance, he came to Hengdian with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, I was spotted by the audition director at a glance, and began to appear on camera, acting as a passer-by, and as an extra.

After hanging up the phone, he lit a cigarette, put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and then breathed it out gently.

A wisp of smoke curled up, wiping his face and confusing his eyes, making him fall into memories.

There was something he had been hiding from his girlfriend. Zhang Guofeng was just a pseudonym. His real name was Ji Guangguang, and he was an authentic Qiqihuer.

It has been ten years since he and two brothers maimed a policeman and took his gun away in 98.

In the past ten years, no one has called him that again, and he doesn't want anyone to call him by this name again and remember him.

The police officer who was maimed and robbed of the police gun would have been shot. After the incident, in order to survive, he took a train overnight to Guangdong Province, and later moved to Hangzhou.

Fortunately, I met a fellow from the Northeast who was very resourceful. He took advantage of the loopholes in the system and spent money to get a household registration and an ID card.

Since then, he has been lurking in the name of Zhang Guofeng.

At the beginning, when he saw the police or even heard the siren, he was frightened and his heart was pounding.

Every time he woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, he would comfort himself that there was no more Ji Shiguang in the world, Ji Shiguang was dead, and his name was Zhang Guofeng now.

He studied hard and practiced hard, and learned Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects in a short period of time. In order to make a living, he worked as a waiter at a KTV and took advantage of the convenience of work to learn to sing.

God has been kind to him. He has a deep voice and a wide range, and his singing has a star-like feel.

At the suggestion of his colleagues, he went to the bar to perform again. He imitated the style of Zhang Di, the king of Wanwan's witty singers, made up and sang, and also made jokes. He was very popular.

Although it didn't become a big hit, I still made a little money, had enough food and clothing, and established a firm foothold.

Whether in KTV or in a bar, the people he came into contact with were from all walks of life, allowing him to see a lot of the world and gain richer experiences.

Having become familiar with the ways of the world, he became more comfortable hiding his identity.

A few years later, when he saw the police again, they not only did not dodge, but when they encountered ward rounds, they were generous and greeted them with a smile on their faces, exchanged a few words, and cooperated with their work.

Over time, I even established good trust with the police officer in charge of security, and became good friends who talked about everything.

But he did not relax his vigilance and kept telling himself that if he wanted to avoid being discovered, he must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

He didn't dare to contact his family, or even take a train or a plane, because he knew that if he did, his whereabouts would probably be exposed.

He was afraid that one day the police would suddenly come to his door. The grass on the graves of the two brothers who worked together back then had withered for ten years.

After making some money in the bar, he did not buy a house or a car. Instead, he first went to the most famous local plastic surgery hospital.

He removed some of the small iconic features on his face, deliberately gained weight and grew a beard, completely erasing the traces of Ji Shiguang and allowing himself to maintain Zhang Guofeng's characteristics.

Later, he met his girlfriend, and he took her to Hengdian Film and Television City.

Because he has some acting talent and considerable life experience, he stood out among many group actors and won his first role.

As luck would have it, he originally wanted to simply be a group performer, but unexpectedly, as he kept running, he actually became famous and became a special agent.

He was often a little uneasy at first about being an actor facing the camera.

But considering that he doesn't have many roles, and his appearance has changed a lot compared to ten years ago, he feels that no one will recognize him.

When Fu Wei found himself playing the role of Sheng Xiang, he fell in love with the play at first glance because it was a true portrayal of his life in the past ten years.

Lurking, Yu Zecheng is lurking, why is it not his good time?

The difference is that the former lurks in the military command, while he lurks in the vast sea of ​​people.

After taking the last puff of the cigarette, Jiguang holds the top of the cigarette butt with three fingers, rubs it from side to side, and waits for the tobacco with sparks in the cigarette butt to fall out and the cigarette butt is completely extinguished.

He glanced warily at Lu Yuan, who was holding the script not far away. He knew clearly that the other person was pretending to read the script but was actually sizing him up secretly.

Somewhat unluckily, he didn't want to get too close to a popular star unless necessary.

A little further away, Lu Yuan was really looking at him. He thought this guy was very interesting.

You must know that the special guest is already the number one person in the group, and there will be at least a few friends around him who are similar to Lao Chen.

But Zhang Guofeng was different. During the period of observation, not many people even talked to him.

He also seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, trying not to make eye contact with anyone.

Lu Yuan touched the cigarette he asked for from Wu Lang in his pocket and walked slowly towards the other party.

After approaching, Zhang Guofeng hurriedly stood up and said rather restrainedly: "Teacher Lu, do you have anything to do with me?"

I don't want to pay attention to him, but he is just a special guest. He is famous at the moment and is the biggest influence on the crew. If he angers the other party, he will just leave if he makes a slight comment.

Even if the other party comes to look for trouble, he has to face it with a face and bear it. If he doesn't accept it, it's hard to give him a punch.

He is not who he used to be, times have changed!
Lu Yuan knelt down next to him, took out the cigarette case from his jacket pocket, pulled out a cigarette and handed it over: "Want one?"

Zhang Guofeng was confused and didn't know what he wanted to do when he ran over. He took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Teacher Lu."

Lu Yuan took out one by himself and distributed the rest to nearby group performers.

"Everyone divides it up and agrees first. It may not be enough for everyone."

"Oh, thank you, Teacher Lu."

"Teacher Lu, you're welcome."

"puff!"

"hiss!"

"call!"

More than ten cigarettes were quickly dissipated, and the small corner was suddenly filled with smoke.After blowing out a smoke ring, Lu Yuan asked casually: "Brother, which school did you graduate from? I think your acting is pretty good. Zu Feng, who acted opposite you just now, is a Nortel assistant."

Zhang Guofeng smiled and shook his head and said: "When I was a child, I had a little bit of talent, but I can't compare with you. Maybe it's because I ran around a lot, and I like to think about it when I have nothing to do. I have a little understanding of what acting is like. "

"Then you are really good." Lu Yuan gave him a thumbs up: "I hear your accent is a bit similar to Qin Hailu's, from the Northeast?"

The smile on Zhang Guofeng's face did not diminish, and he said very naturally: "No, my ex-girlfriend is from that corner, and her accent was distorted after being together for several years."

Lu Yuan had an understanding smile on his face. No matter how many people were together, as long as there was one Northeasterner, everyone would smell like dirt before long.

After chatting for a while, he continued: "I have been an extra in Hengdian before, and I know that it is difficult to stand out as an extra. No matter how outstanding your ability is, Wang Baoqiang is only because Feng Xiaogang is supporting you with resources. You, It’s best to sign with a brokerage company. If you’re not familiar with it, I can help introduce you.”

Lu is willing to help anyone who has the ability. He relies on two things to get in the circle. In addition to his excellent business ability, the rest is that he is popular and has an open path.

Zhang Guofeng was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly, and said: "Thank you, Teacher Lu, for your support. I just make a living, and I am quite content with the current situation. Although sometimes I have work, sometimes I don't, but after a month, overall, You can also earn a lot.”

Lu Yuan was quite surprised. Countless people quit their stable jobs, left their families, and flocked to Hengdian. Most of them came here to become famous.

Looking forward to becoming popular overnight, rising in class, and changing the status quo of his barren life.

This guy was smoking cheap cigarettes, and he didn't look like he came from a wealthy family to experience life. Could he have some hidden agenda?

Zhang Guofeng didn't like to answer blindly. Seeing that he wanted to ask again, he changed the subject and said, "I really didn't realize that Mr. Lu also worked as a group actor after graduating from Nortel?"

The other party's reaction made Lu Yuan more sure of his thoughts. This guy has a story.

He stopped asking and explained with a smile: "I came to Hengdian during the summer vacation from college to earn pocket money and observe the performance skills of powerful celebrities. You know Lao Chen? He likes to do good deeds every day."

"Haha, I recognize him. I even drank with him. Teacher Lu is awesome." Zhang Guofeng extended his thumb to compliment.

These words were partly stage words and partly sincere, because he knew very well how much hardship an actor had to endure and how much care he had to take if he wanted to get to where Lu Yuan was now.

"Hey, I'm not great. I'm just lucky. I came across a few excellent scripts and characters."

Under Zhang Guofeng's mask, there is a high probability that there is another completely unfamiliar identity hidden by him, which he tried his best to hide.

This is the answer Lu Yuan came up with based on his performance experience, experience and intuition.

The other party tried his best to cover it up, and he didn't even think about trying to expose it. He just told the director his thoughts.

Jiang Wei was a little confused, but he didn't say anything. He was just an extra and didn't have many roles. He just left after filming, so there was no need to worry about it.

After about ten minutes of rest, the shooting started again, but the process was still not smooth.

"Card."

"No, Ka."

"Zu Feng, please calm down, your movements are too big."

The director's continuous shouting made the scene a little out of control. Although the photography and lighting masters did not show it on their faces, they were somewhat emotional in their hearts.

Zu Feng rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, came to the monitor with an apologetic expression, and stared at the playback in silence.

In fact, he also realized that there was a problem with the way he handled the shooting just now.

This scene is about Li Ya who deceived Chang Shengxiang, the information section unit, through intimidation, and finally accidentally obtained information about Yu Zecheng.

As a military commander, entering the interrogation room, there was a huge difference in status between him and Sheng Xiang.

Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and at the same time has a potential sense of territoriality.

Under normal circumstances, as the interrogator, in the territory that he can control, he will give people a feeling of being calm and confident of victory.

He believed that Li Ya should remain in this state during this interrogation scene.

In the first filming, he simply used his lines, raised his pitch appropriately, postponed the emphasis, and used his voice to express emotions and pressure the other party, but the result was not satisfactory.

He realized that he had underestimated the other party. This group performance was not easy.

So during the second shooting, he changed his approach and designed many small actions for Li Ya.

When Shengxiang knelt down and hugged his thighs and begged, he would rub his shoulders and shake his head, hoping to create the character's calmness and relaxation through these actions.

You Shengxiang knelt down and begged me in fear, but I didn't care. I even took the time to take care of my cervical spine.

A sense of oppression arises invisibly.

But Zhang Guofeng's response was also beyond his expectation. He simply lowered his head and read out the lines with a trembling voice.

A very simple movement, a few intermittent words, but it gave him the feeling of punching the air.

It seems that my design is completely useless.

He was a little frustrated. He was beaten up by the same extra in several scenes in a row. It was so embarrassing.

Lu Yuan saw everything and wanted to open his mouth to give a hint, but Qin Hailu suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head at the same time.

He thought for a moment and reacted quickly.

In a good rivalry scene, the two actors must be in a relaxed state.

This kind of ease is not about slacking off or relaxing, but about lifting weights with ease. The performance in front of the camera will enter a strange state, as if everything you want to happen is happening.

The most taboo thing in acting is emotions. Actors actually act with emotions, but emotions need to be controlled.

If you are overconfident, you will keep acting out in your own world endlessly, and your sense of proportion may be lost.

This is exactly Zu Feng's current problem, he wants to act too much.

If the sense of proportion is lost, mistakes will occur and the opponent will become disengaged.

He will think about what you are doing and what you want to express, and finally jump out and simply not respond to you. In this way, there will be no effective mutual stimulation between the actors.

Because performance is about a process of mutual communication, then independent judgment, and then mutual communication.

When you say something, you need to see what kind of reaction the other person has. Only after his truest reaction comes out can you judge the purpose of his reaction.

After completing your own judgment, give feedback to the other party.

It's like playing ball. The two of them made an appointment to play peace ball. Although it looks intense, they must always play in a rhythm.

It cannot be said that if you take the ball and keep hitting it, and the ball given to you by the opponent has a different rhythm, but you still hit yourself, then you will not be able to play at all.

A mutual exchange, where you come and go, can complete a scene. Otherwise, it is called unilateral effort, and the result will inevitably be a single performance emotion.

Over time, it will turn into self-admiration, and at the same time there is no way to escape from completing a role because you are always enjoying yourself, which is a dangerous sign.

Zu Feng's problem was actually easy to solve, but he fell into a misunderstanding.
