Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 176 - Study hard and make progress every day (please follow up)
"I would like to ask Chen Yu, how do you feel after taking six [acting classes] for three consecutive days?" Reba patted Li Yitong's leg beside her and motioned for her to hand the mineral water bottle to Chen Yu to act as a microphone.

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose with his fingers and held a mineral water bottle in his hand. He didn't know where to start. He felt as if he had learned something superficial but still seemed to have learned nothing.

With bright eyes blinking, Reba turned her head and looked at Li Yitong, who looked puzzled. Could it be that Zhang Songwen himself was "Zhang Zhenren" and taught Chen Yu Tai Chi?

Only by forgetting all the rigid and solid moves can one learn the essence? Are the teaching routines of acting teachers these days so mysterious and unpredictable?

Dilraba, a bastard who "entered the theater", and Li Yitong, an outstanding graduate of "Northern Dance", both looked at the crooked Chen Yu with puzzling eyes.

From morning to afternoon on the first day, Zhang Songwen accompanied Chen Yu to watch various domestic and foreign movie clips.

Then patiently ask and record what kind of scripts and types of movies Chen Yudu likes.

The next day, Zhang Songwen chatted with Chen Yu about character profiles while enjoying a movie that made the latter sit still.

Today, Zhang Songwen randomly selected a few movies from Chen Yu's "film library" and encouraged him to briefly talk about the characters according to his own understanding.

Hearing this, Reba, who was born in a major, understood Zhang Songwen's intention; and Li Yitong, a talented person, also knew why Zhang Songwen did this.

In fact, this was Zhang Songwen's way of testing Chen Yu's intelligence, but he was a little more tactful than the teachers at art schools.

"Now I'm a little worried that Yang Ying will call me in the evening and tell me that Zhang Songwen's schedule is unexpected." Reba curled her lips towards Li Yitong.

If the worst case scenario imagined by Reba happens, it means that Zhang Songwen believes that Chen Yu is hopeless.

Chen Yu, who was slumped on the single sofa, whistled softly. He felt that he definitely had a talent for acting. After all, every time he made a fake move in the octagonal cage, his opponents would be fooled. The fake moves used in fighting and boxing require eye contact. , shoulders, hands, plus knees, legs, and feet to fully cooperate!

Li Yitong, an outstanding graduate of "Northern Dance" pursed her red lips. She felt that what Chen Yu said was both right and biased.

Because if Chen Yu's theory is true, then he who is proficient in folk dance and calligraphy should also have a great advantage in performance.

Li Yitong has worked with six film crews since her debut. She was only praised by three seniors, Yu Zheng, Liang Shengquan and Li Weiji, in the "Half Demon" series and "Fire Song". Other directors often said that her acting skills are inferior. Across.

In addition, Reba, who was sitting next to her, also had solid dancing skills. As a result, a group of shots had to be retaken on average nine times to barely meet the minimum requirements.

"Tongtong, don't listen to Chen Yu's nonsense. He said that fake movements and acting skills are completely unrelated things." Reba said loudly, turning her beautiful eyes.

Feints in fighting and boxing use reflex nerves and body functions to "deceive and mislead" the opponent;
Acting, on the other hand, is much more sophisticated and sophisticated, because it requires emotional investment to resonate with the audience.

Reba turned her head triumphantly and raised her eyebrows at Chen Yu. After all, she came from a major and her theoretical knowledge was not yet fully "realized".

After hearing this, Li Yitong also tapped his leg.

She is able to perform brilliantly in the "Half Demon" series and the currently filming "Fire Song" because the character she plays fits her very well on a certain level, so many of her psychological activities and subtle movements are considered instinctive reactions. Therefore, it seems particularly natural and smooth.

As an "acting novice", Chen Yu could only raise his hands to admit defeat when faced with Reba who threw out professional theories.

Reba was super excited to be able to give Li Yitong a "lesson" in acting in disguise, so she planned to celebrate by treating guests to hot pot.

But Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi had an appointment so they couldn't go together, and the other two ladies on the crew, Long Zhengxuan and Wu Peirou, were not close to Reba.

"It seems that I can only accompany Chen Yu home for a nutritious meal tonight." Reba pursed her lips and muttered to Li Yitong, who was getting up to pack his bags and prepare to retreat.

Just this morning, Meng Ziyi told Li Yitong that she wanted to treat Reba to a big meal as a thank you for her donation of tickets to the "Charity Basketball Game".

Going to a restaurant would appear to be a lack of sincerity, so Meng Ziyi was going to ask Li Yitong to help buy things at home. Li Yitong's answer was: Get lost!
Since Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi slept in the same bed three days ago, this young lady used ant moving tactics to transport luggage to Li Yitong's apartment.

As a result, Li Yitong particularly missed living alone in the past two days. Every day after Meng Ziyi came back from work on the set, he would take her to take a bath and chat about gossip.

Moreover, Meng Ziyi particularly likes and insists on asking Li Yitong if he has a crush on Chen Yu.

By the way, Chen Yu is not a walking hormone or fly water, how could he easily confuse Li Yitong?
In addition, Li Yitong and Liu Yifei are not satisfied with Chen Yu's super cute appearance in the eyes of others.

Therefore, even though a friend tried his best to ease Chen Yu to her before, Li Yitong had no feelings for the latter. At most, she thought Chen Yu was quite interesting.

At the same time, Li Yitong also hopes that her future boyfriend and husband can be as caring and considerate as Chen Yu is to Dilraba, while maintaining understanding and respect.

Here, the crew of "Fire Like a Song" finished get off work. Reba and Chen Yu went to the supermarket to buy various hotpot products, and Li Yitong went home to cook for Meng Ziyi.

Over there, Zhang Songwen sipped iced Coke and kept flipping through the notes about Chen Yu that he had recorded in the past three days.

"Can I take a ten-minute break? I was chatting nonsense with Chen Yuyi in the studio during the day, and now I'm still thinking about it when I go home. If word spreads, Dilraba will be jealous."

Zhang Songwen's wife is the same age as him and is an outsider. She is pretty and very capable. This loving and low-key couple already has "a son and a daughter."

After receiving the small cake from his wife, Zhang Songwen gently closed his notebook. It was a rare opportunity to guide Chen Yu to improve his acting skills. If he can achieve results, it will be of great help to Zhang Songwen in improving his performance theory.

As for fame and financial resources in the industry, they are just "accompaniments" and there is no need to show them off separately. As an actor, it is better to keep a low profile.

Moreover, Zhang Songwen does not hope that because of the success of coaching Chen Yu, a large number of artists taking the traffic route will come to his studio to "check in."

After all, Zhang Songwen is only a human being and not a god. He can guide Chen Yunai because the latter is almost a "blank sheet" in terms of performance.

Moreover, Chen Yu is not limited by "character design". If he can't act as a decent character, he will turn around and focus on the negative role.

But popular artists only accept Wei Guangzheng. To put it bluntly, if Yang Zi, Dilraba, and Guli Nazha were allowed to play negative roles, their fans would probably join forces to purify Zhang Songwen's studio and home with fire. .

"Hey, Yang Zi, Dilraba and Gulinaza took your rice and ate it? Why are you thinking about making them bad guys?"

Zhang Songwen's wife took the ice Coke from Zhang Songwen's hand and took a sip.

In fact, Zhang Songwen's wife is a fan of "tropical fish". She thinks that Reba and Chen Yu are a perfect match. In addition, Chen Yu's extremely cute appearance is also suitable for acting in movies and TV dramas. God directly inserts a tube into the stomach and feeds her Eat.

Zhang Songwen frowned and glanced sideways at his wife, who was making jabs, and praised Chen Yu for saying it well. Why did it make people feel uncomfortable when these words came out of her mouth?

Zhang Songwen hesitated and put the remaining half of the cake on the table.

"Eat it all quickly. I got this from your daughter. She will find out later and have to do it all again!" Zhang Songwen's wife repeatedly pursed her lips.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Songwen hurriedly stuffed all the "criminal evidence" into his mouth. He couldn't afford to offend the living ancestor in his family.

"It's true that Chen Yu is cute, but it's usually difficult for actors with cute looks to perform well in movies and TV dramas." Zhang Songwen asked his wife to sit down and listen.

From the 1980s to now, the only cute-looking male actors (Chinese) that can be counted are Jimmy Lin and Nick Cheung when they debuted.

But comparing the box office results achieved by the two in the same period, you can find that neither Jimmy Lin nor Nick Cheung can be said to be "outstanding".

Even if you classify Aaron Kwok into the "cute-looking" category, he only gained a lot of money on the big screen after years of precipitation.

"There are resolute heroes, rough knights, and handsome warriors in movies and TV dramas. Have you ever heard of a certain revolutionary who looks cute?"

Zhang Songwen suppressed a smile and gently knocked on the desk and asked his wife softly.

"Cute" can describe positive characters and part of the character's personality in movies and TV dramas, but when used to describe their appearance, they appear very unserious!

Therefore, at least in the Chinese film and television drama market, unless a major studio is willing to create an exclusive customized drama for Chen Yu, it will be difficult for him to land the lead role.

Even the male lead in the ancient puppet show does not use "cuteness" as a promotional selling point.

Therefore, Zhang Songwen suggested that Chen Yu should just keep developing in the European and American film and television circles and not waste time by returning to China.

After all, European and American audiences always like characters with huge contrasts, and Chen Yu has a foundation there.

Character creation models such as the "baby-faced killer" have always been popular in Europe and the United States, and are frequently photographed.

Huaxia can only play a supporting role. Dingtian is equal in the "two heroes mode" but his name is behind the decent characters, and he is still shorter in disguise.

"Moreover, Chen Yu's eyes and temperament do not support him playing a decent character in the traditional sense." Zhang Songwen paused deliberately.

He wanted to imitate Chen Yu's fierce and sinister gaze but he couldn't express it.

Zhang Songwen tapped her finger on the table. This is a problem that cannot be solved by acting alone.

He doesn't have Chen Yu's experience of fighting for the top step by step, so he lacks bloodthirsty and ruthlessness.

"I can basically teach Chen Yu what he wants to learn, but it may be extremely difficult to get feedback on what I want to ask Chen Yu for." Zhang Songwen muttered with a frown.

Zhang Songwen's wife patted her husband on the shoulder.

He reminded the latter that as long as he had a few moves with Chen Yu in the octagonal cage, he could more intuitively experience the vicious and vicious feeling he was seeking.

"Comrade beautiful woman, what is it about me that makes you dissatisfied? Do you want to use Chen Yu's help to get rid of me and remarry me?" Zhang Songwen said, covering his heart.

But there was a flash in his eyes. This was indeed one of the best ways to get close to the "vicious and sinister".
