Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 425 Jing Tian’s Acting Problems
The next day, Xiao Zhao took Jing Tian to the rehearsal hall of "Death of a Salesman".

The two of them sat quietly in the audience and watched the rehearsal below.

The actor stood on the stage, and in the audience were the director Li Liuji and the actor who played the 83 version of Charlie, as well as Mr. Zhu Xu, the performance director of the re-shooting.

There were two people sitting not far from the two in the auditorium, whom they vaguely recognized as Teacher Pu Cunxin and Teacher Yue Xiuqing.

Jing Tian also rehearses dramas at school, but she rarely has the opportunity to go to this theater, the highest level of Chinese dramas, to closely observe the rehearsals of their actors.

She found that rehearsals for people's arts were very different from those at school.

In school rehearsals, the teacher guides the students more from an overall perspective, and of course they are very detailed, but not like the guidance of Renyi, where they break it down word by word, crush it into pieces and explain it clearly to the actors.

There were all very experienced actors on stage, but Director Li Liuji kept ringing the director's bell to interrupt the actors.

The overall atmosphere of the rehearsal was relaxed and pleasant, and the actors, directors, and instructors were all talking and laughing.

Jing Tian was not in a hurry to find Zhang Yuanjun, and just watched from the auditorium.

It wasn't until 11:[-] p.m., when the morning rehearsal ended, that Zhang Yuanjun had time to see Jing Tian and asked, "How was it after watching it all morning?"

"It's pretty good, haha." Although drama is also Jingtian's professional class, Jingtian obviously didn't study hard in this class and spoke very dryly.

Jing Tian had a strong purpose today. He came to Zhang Yuanjun for guidance and study. He immediately expressed his doubts: "Brother Zhang, I was very serious and devoted when I was acting in the crew, and the director also passed it, but when I came out, The audience didn’t buy it.”

Sorry, Zhang Yuanjun has never seen Jing Tian act.

"You go up and perform a piece and I'll take a look." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Which part to play?" Jing Tian stood on the stage generously.

"You remember which part to perform." Zhang Yuanjun sat in the audience and enjoyed giving guidance.

Jing Tian pulled out the required drama course "Thunderstorm" from his mind, and stumbled through a play called "Fanyi".

Zhang Yuanjun laughed after reading it and said: "Teacher Gong Lijun is not in the theater today, otherwise you can ask her to tell you about the play You." Gong Lijun has played Fanyi for more than [-] years.

Whether in film school or drama school, "Thunderstorm" is a compulsory repertoire for students.

Every acting student should thoroughly devoure this drama. Zhang Yuanjun asked: "Who played "Thunderstorm" when you rehearsed it at school?"

"Shi Ping."

"Then you play Shi Ping again."

Jing Tian performed the performance again. During this period, Guo Yijun came out from the backstage and saw Zhang Yuanjun sitting at the guidance table. He smiled and said: "I am filing a complaint for pretending to be a public servant for personal gain."

"Fuck you." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.

Guo Yijun looked at Jing Tian on the stage, then at Zhang Yuanjun, and joked: "Be careful, I will complain to Yi Fei."

"You talk too much and don't eat."

"Eat, I'm leaving." Guo Yijun said with a smile and left.

Zhang Yuanjun finished watching Jing Tian's performance, walked up to the stage and said, "I know what your problem is."

"Really!" Jing Tian's eyes lit up.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't talk about her problem first, but acted out the scene between Fanyi and Shi Ping that Jing Tian had just played.

Although it is a cross-dressing, people with a discerning eye can see that the details and rhythm of Zhang Yuanjun's characters are more natural and relaxed.

This made assistant Xiao Zhao laugh at the side: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at playing a woman."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I even cheated on Xue Baochai at school."

"Can we still watch it?"

Back to the topic.

Zhang Yuanjun said to Jing Tian: "Understand, Fanyi's rhythm is like this, don't hold it. This room is so big, you must learn to use the space rationally." After explaining the specifics, Zhang Yuanjun then gave methodological guidance and asked her first: " What else do you like to do besides acting?"

"Read books and watch movies." Jing Tian said.

Zhang Yuanjun looked disappointed after hearing this answer, and smiled: "Why do you like this kind of thing? You should travel, make friends, and fall in love. Do you understand? To put it simply, you should observe the world. You shouldn’t stay at home and watch movies.”

"I'll learn from their performances." Jing Tian said softly.

Zhang Yuanjun does not agree with this learning method: "You can only learn very superficial things by watching other people's performances. Real performance comes naturally. You are this character. How does this character speak, how does he walk, sit and lie down? You don't have to act." , naturally. Why is Teacher Shizhi's "Teahouse" a classic? Because Teacher Shizhi and the others really lived in that era, and "Teahouse" is not acting for them, but life."

"Of course, there are differences between the reality of life and the reality of art. Teachers in school have taught me this, so I won't talk about it." Zhang Yuanjun added.

"You are acting very hard, and you feel that you are acting very hard, but you still haven't opened yourself up, you haven't immersed yourself in the character, let alone the character's life."

Zhang Yuanjun actually wanted to say that Jingtian's problem was that he was too well protected and couldn't let go of his burden.Apart from being scolded for her poor acting skills and being a resourceful person, she has basically never experienced any other setbacks.

And she was a big-screen heroine from the beginning. She lacked exercise, so it was natural for her to be sprayed.And until now, Xingguang Guanggli has no idea what her acting career will be.

Zhang Yuanjun pointed out the problem with her acting skills and took his wife as an example: "Yifei's acting style before she was 20 years old was that of the fairy sister. She looked like that in everything she acted."

"Yifei is not afraid of being scolded when you say that." Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

"It's okay, she already knew this." Zhang Yuanjun said, "In those years, many people said that Yifei's acting skills were poor."

"But Yifei did really well at that time." Jing Tian said.

"That's why I say it's important to find your own acting path. Your current agent hasn't found the right acting path for you yet. But it doesn't matter. Shoot a few more movies to see what roles you are suitable for."

"Then how did Yifei break through the role of the fairy sister?" Jing Tian asked.

"Let's fall in love." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.

"Ah?" Jing Tian never expected this answer.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei have also said this answer, and they don't mind saying it again now: "Yifei has been with me since she was 20 years old. You also know that 'fairy sisters' are not allowed to fall in love."

Jing Tian nodded, knowing what Zhang Yuanjun meant.

"Actually, Yifei also had a heavy burden of being a fairy sister at first, but then she became more and more relaxed. Especially after we made it public in 09, she became very relaxed. Coupled with her usual training, you can see her current acting skills are It’s not getting better.”

Jing Tian nodded.

"I don't mean to suggest that you also fall in love." Besides, Zhang Yuanjun guessed that she is not allowed to fall in love at the moment. "You need to find a key to open the door to your heart and relax your whole body. If you strengthen your daily training and meet a suitable role, your performance will stand out immediately."

Jing Tian nodded with some understanding.

"Would you like to eat in the canteen?" Zhang Yuanjun asked Jingtian when he saw that it was almost time.

But Jing Tian wanted to ask for something after all, "I'd better invite Brother Zhang to eat out."

"It means you finally came here and tried our canteen."

"Okay." Jing Tian agreed.

The three of them walked out of the rehearsal hall and headed to the cafeteria. On the way, Zhang Yuanjun gave Jing Tian a brief introduction to the theater.

The Renyi Canteen is an old building, the same age as the theater, and has been in service until now.

There were not many people eating in the cafeteria today, and they were spread out.

The three of them had dinner, and Jing Tian didn't stay long. He thanked Zhang Yuanjun and left the theater.

"You and Yi Fei analyzed it this way too?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"Yes, she herself doesn't want to be the fairy sister for the rest of her life. The fairy sister was her black nickname at the beginning, saying she was a vase." As a pillow person, Zhang Yuanjun understands Liu Yifei's ambition for acting best.
