Full-time actor

Chapter 148 [147] "What, an actor?" 》

"It's my son's turn!"

Shen Xiaoqin squeezed her hands there, and her palms were a little sweaty.

Chen Peidong on the side was not much better. Seeing Chen Yu walking to the microphone with empty hands, his heart jumped into his throat.

"This kid...why didn't he prepare a speech?"

"Oh no?"

Shen Xiaoqin was also a little confused.

"Is it unscripted?"

Shen Xiaoqin guessed, but for such an important occasion, how could this guy fail to finish the script?

What if I’m nervous and can’t recite it?

Or said the wrong thing?

Shen Xiaoqin was a little anxious.

At the opening ceremony of the Chinese Opera, several reporters had already set up cameras and video cameras, preparing to start taking pictures of Chen Yu. Just now, Chen Sicheng and the others casually snapped a few pictures.

After all, China Drama also told them that Chen Yu was the focus.

All the leaders on stage were looking at Chen Yu who was standing in front of the microphone.

Of course, there were also whispers.

For example, Wang Yongde, the director of the Chinese Theater Company, was quietly introducing Chen Yu's identity to several leaders.

The leaders suddenly realized that it was him?

As for the guests like Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and others, their eyes looked at Chen Yu a little differently; of course they knew what Chen Yu standing there meant.

Then think of some of the influences Chen Yu has had in the past few months, including getting a perfect score in college entrance examination essays, magic performances, singing and singing...

Everyone knows that this is a Chinese drama... to build momentum for him.

This kind of treatment has never happened to them before!

It can only be said that Chen Yu's choice of time to enroll in school was really the right time, place and people.

The combination of his own strength, the low point of China Opera, and his own social influence allowed China Theater to hold this unprecedented "opening ceremony".

You know, Chen Yuke is only 18 years old and has just entered school.

As the star of "Dragon", a drama that is destined to be a hit of the year, as well as several well-known TV dramas and movies in the industry, such as "The Golden Age" and "Kara is a Dog"... This is a guaranteed start to admission.

Super king bomb.

Moreover, everyone can see that Chen Yu is going to... speak without writing.

For an actor, going off script is actually a manifestation of the most basic line ability.

How can you perform and say your lines without going off-script or off-script?

The reason why Chen Sicheng held the speech just now was because he was afraid that he would make a mistake; and it was such an occasion, so he chose to be conservative.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, seemed much more radical.

Chang Li, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Chen Yu who was standing there and picked up the microphone, and couldn't help but squeeze her hands.

At the same time, take a long breath!

"Come on!"

"Chen Yu!"

Chang Li prayed in her heart. Yesterday was still echoing in her mind. After seeing Chen Yu's speech, she was so excited that she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Yes, she was very excited.

As an actor, isn't that what you have to do?

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Yu, a freshman in Grade 02 of China National Theater Academy!"

Chen Yu suddenly picked up the phone, straightened his body, looked forward, with a smile on his face.

He did not look at the students in the audience.

His gaze was in the mid-air of the playground.

There, like a fleeting glimpse of light, scenes from his previous life emerged.

The tension and pressure in my heart suddenly disappeared at this moment.

In Chen Yu's mind, there was only the speech he wrote in one breath three days ago - "What, an actor?" 》

"I know a senior who is an extra in Hengdian!"

"That is, horizontal drift!"

“Not famous, it’s dead, this year!”

"So, I want to tell his story!"

Chen Yu stood there, his voice as if he could travel through time and space, returning to the ten-square-meter rental house in the previous imperial capital; in his eyes, there were no opera students, no playground, only the penniless room.

That was the place where Chen Yu lived for three years in his previous life; however, he changed the imperial capital to Hengdian.

Wow!

Listening to Chen Yu's sudden speech, many people in the audience were stunned.

They all thought that Chen Yu would be like Chen Sicheng, saying a piece of positive energy, but no one could listen to the bullshit.

But unexpectedly, Chen Yu seemed to be... telling a story?

Now they are no longer sleepy!

"Every day, he gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and then runs to the Actors Guild in Hengdian to pick up the film!"

"In front of the guild, there is a breakfast stall. He will buy two tea eggs or two steamed buns; at 5 o'clock, the entire Hengdian group leader will come to the door of the Actors Guild to pick people!"

"He was the same age as me at the time, also 18!"

"In the beginning, because I didn't have any special features and was too tall, in the words of a group leader, I didn't look like an extra!"

"So, he can only play some dead bodies, lying there, being stepped on by countless people!"

"He did it for almost three months. Many people like him can't stand it after half a month. One month is already the limit. He did it for three full months!"

When Chen Yu said this, he smiled slightly.

There was more of relief in that smile.

"One day, the group leader asked him, are you a stubborn kid? Don't you get tired of playing dead bodies?"

"He never gets tired of saying it, because I'm acting!"

"Want to be famous?"

"No, I just want to be an actor!"

"Ha ha!"

The leader of the group smiled a little and said, "I have met quite a few stupid young people like you over the years, but they all went home!"

"I can't hold on!"

“Ideals are like bubbles, they burst when you poke them——”

"Boss, can you give me a chance?"

My friend suddenly said: "I can speak Japanese!"

He was pleading with the group leader, who was stunned for a moment: "Can you speak Japanese?"

"Correct!"

In the past three months, although he had played corpses, the ones he had played the most were corpses in anti-Japanese dramas; so he found out that what was most needed in anti-Japanese dramas was extras who could speak Japanese.

Because they can play RB soldiers!

"Hahaha!"

Many students in the audience laughed a little.

Although they didn't understand much, they thought Chen Yu's friend seemed interesting and smart.

I've been acting for three months, but I'm still learning Japanese?

"..."

But all the leaders on the stage looked at Chen Yu.

It was obvious that they understood the story.

Chen Yu ignored everyone's reactions and continued: "This time, he can finally play a more normal bit player!" "Sometimes, he can even get some scenes with lines!"

"He told me that in that month, he earned more than he had in three months; and then he took all the money he earned to attend training classes!"

"It's the kind of actor training class in Hengdian!"

"He began to learn acting, and learned to drive and ride horses on the set. Sometimes the anti-Japanese drama needed some Japanese information, so he just wrote it down. The prop master told him that this is called 'bibi', which is a type of stand-in! "

"My friend heard about it and started to finish the training class every night and then go back and practice writing again!"

"I write until early in the morning every day and then only sleep for 4 hours!"

"Thanks to his youth, he can bear it!"

"A year later, he was admitted to the Screen Actors Guild and passed the Actor's Certificate!"

"He has gained some fame in the Hengdian circle; many group leaders like to bring him into the crew!"

"However, he is still just a small extra!"

"During this period, he learned martial arts from a peripheral martial arts practitioner. That peripheral martial arts practitioner has real skills. It is said that he is a descendant of Chenjiagou. Anyway, his legs and feet are very good!"

"He's just not popular in Hengdian, and the crew doesn't want him!"

"Another year, at the age of 20, he became a special agent!"

"..."

Chen Yu has a good command of lines, and his acting ability is also very good.

He controlled his emotions and tried to speak as smoothly as possible, as if he was telling someone a true story.

But no one knows that this person is Chen Yu.

It was the Chen Yu from his previous life.

Chen Yu won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor at the age of 40.

He had worked so hard in his previous life that he finally collapsed on that awards stage.

"In the past 10 years, he has played a total of 3321 roles, including dead bodies, water plays, fire plays, explosion plays, ice plays, flying cars, and jumping off buildings... In 10 years, he taught himself acting, positioning, stunts, martial arts, lines, and subbing. , Wu Ti..."

Chen Yu's voice suddenly became a little high-pitched.

"..."

There was no sound from the students in the audience, and the entire playground was also quiet.

Only Chen Yu's voice echoed over the playground for a long time.

They all looked at Chen Yu on the stage in disbelief.

There was only one question echoing in my mind - is this friend real?

Isn't this too awesome?

"Probably not!"

Everyone subconsciously asserts that.

"These are the ten years of my extra-actor friend!"

Chen Yu laughed.

"Is it bitter? I feel very bitter!"

"Is it miserable? It's really miserable!"

"But he smiled and told me that if he could become an actor, all that he had done would have been in vain!"

"After listening to it, I felt that compared with him, am I, a so-called actor... qualified?"

Chen Yu paused at this time.

He looked at all the teachers and students in the audience, and everyone was silent.

Some people even lowered their heads.

"I admit, I am luckier than him; I live a happier life than him, and the salary I receive may be a figure that he can't even imagine in his life!"

"but--"

"I'm not as good as him!"

Chen Yu raised his head, looked at his previous life in mid-air, and said word by word: "I once asked myself, what makes a good actor?"

"Is it because the crew does not arrive late or leave early, so they can call the actors well?"

"It's better not to leave the line of fire after minor injuries, and then come back after recovering from serious injuries. Be serious and responsible for every scene and scene, and be true to the end. Even if you risk your life, you must perform scenes that the director is satisfied with!"

"Is this what makes a good actor?"

"..."

silent!

The whole place was silent.

"When did being on time and reporting to the crew become an excellent quality of an actor, and was used to hype it up?"

"Whenever an actor memorizes lines for a role, he can be praised!"

"Since when does being sick mean you are dedicated to filming?"

Chen Yu suddenly shook his head: "Although I am not qualified to say so much here, I think that compared to my friend just now, he is a real actor!"

"These are just the most basic principles for an actor. This is his job. Shouldn't he master it?"

"I do not deserve!"

Chen Yu's mind seemed to be thinking of his past life.

This time, he was not thinking of himself.

It's the stinking fan circles, those fans of little fresh meat, who uniformly post copywriting to clear up the shady stories of their idols.

Please stop hacking our family, do you know how hard we work?

How dedicated is he?

If you shave your head for a role, can you wear makeup like this for a role? !

Standing in a ten-storey building while filming, how dedicated are you?

You don’t need a substitute when you get beaten, are you dedicated?

Repeatedly filmed a small action more than a dozen times, showing hard work and dedication?

Wait, is this unprofessional?

Filming "Fortress xx" and playing a soldier without even shaving his head, is this dedication?

You played the game for 24 hours all night before accepting the movie, and then the red-eyed media publicized it. In the end, the box office failed, and you still said you worked hard? !

This is some professional ethics of "actors"!

Doing your job well equals dedication, and being busy equals hard work. Once you hang up one of these two golden signs, it is a talisman that is immune to all poisons!

Anyone who disses or criticizes will be able to respond with confidence.

If this is the case, then does punching in on time and clocking in every day, and occasionally completing work despite being sick, do you think it is considered dedicated and hard work?

The courier boy delivers the goods regardless of rain or shine, the takeaway boy works overtime to deliver food, the cleaner gets up early to work at around four o'clock every day, and the doctor performs seven surgeries for more than ten hours in a row, and is so tired that he lies on the ground directly... Some people say Have these people been dedicated?

The lines said 1234, but his acting skills were not good and he still had to cut out the pictures... Chen Yuzhen sneered a little.

Why, when it comes to actors, does it mean they are dedicated? !

Isn't this what work is supposed to do? !

"..."

Of course, Chen Yu did not say these words on the spot.

Because he is not qualified.

But what he explained above is how to be a good actor.

This statement is completely correct.

This was also the reason why Chang Li was so excited after seeing it.

"Now, every time I think of my friend, I feel that he is a role model for me to learn from!"

"I will learn from him how to be a real actor!"

"He is not a star or an idol, he is just an ordinary person like us, who just did a special job!"

"Thank you, that's my speech today!"

Swish!

Chen Yu bowed and then walked off the stage in an extremely free and easy manner.
