Chapter 4: Pondering the Script

"Wow!"

A bucket of water was poured down, and He Xin suddenly felt excited, and the goosebumps on his body were visible to the naked eye. Picking up the soap and hitting it from head to toe, rubbing his feet, seeing that the bucket under the faucet was full of water, he quickly picked it up, washed the soap foam off his body twice, quickly dried his body, and ran back to his hut with a cigarette in his slippers.

At the end of the month, the company settled the accounts, and his performance this month was good, and he got nearly two thousand small hands, plus the parts that do not pass through the company on weekdays, and the monthly income is close to two thousand five.

To be honest, the moment he first got the money, he really regretted taking Wang Xiaoshuai's movie. But after all, the contracts have been signed, and at the same time, maybe there is still a small star dream in his heart, he still resigned from the company.

He didn't say that he was going to make a movie, and no one would believe him when he said it, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to be ridiculed by others. It's just that there is something temporary, and he can't work here for the time being, and he guesses that in three or four months, he will have to come back.

This kind of express company has no basic salary, and the income is calculated according to the share, plus He Xin has been working here for nearly three months, nothing has gone wrong, and the performance is not bad.

This can be regarded as a back road left for him, saving himself from waiting for the movie to find a job everywhere.

In the afternoon, I returned to the rental house, the courtyard was quiet, the tenants went to work, the landlord and the two mothers had not finished this bit of mahjong, and he took a cold shower in the courtyard while there was no one.

Put on your clothes, soak your dirty clothes in laundry detergent, and then lie comfortably in bed. Speaking of which, whether it was working on the construction site before or delivering couriers later, there was no rest day at all, and there were few such leisure moments.

I lit a cigarette and unconsciously picked up the script next to my pillow again. The script has a total of seventy or eighty pages, and when Wang Xiaoshuai gave it to him, he said that it was a literary script. He Xin didn't quite understand what the difference between a literary script and a real script was, anyway, when he read it, it was no different from a novel.

In the past few days, He Xin has used the evening time to read it carefully. The Xiaogui he wants to play is also a courier brother like him, but Xiaogui has just entered the city, he doesn't understand anything, and he is very tender.

Xiaogui finally got a bicycle of his own by work, but it was stolen in a blink of an eye, he didn't give up looking, and found Xiao Jian, who bought a second-hand car, Xiao Gui was beaten many times by Xiao Jian's classmates and still insisted, so the two shared a car. Xiao Jian hit Xiaoxiao's new boyfriend, the other party retaliated, but Xiaogui came to hand over the car, Xiaoxiao's new boyfriend mistakenly thought that the two of them were in a gang, beat him violently, and smashed his bicycle.

Obviously this is a story about youth. Since Xiaogui longed to have a bicycle of his own, the little nanny from the countryside secretly put on the owner's clothes and high heels and pretended to be "city people", it is not difficult to see that the story wants to reflect the various difficulties and desires of migrant workers in the city.

However, He Xin is very disdainful of this, no matter how hard Xiaogui is, at least he has a cousin who runs a grocery store to rely on. In the memory of the original owner, the original owner was only bitter when he first arrived in the capital, he didn't understand anything, he was deceived to the construction site and worked tirelessly for more than two months, he didn't get a penny, and he was almost deceived into going to Shanxi to dig coal.

I was beaten, starved, and slept on the streets, but I later met a kind fellow who introduced me to a reliable construction site.

But you said that it was hard, now that you look back and think about it, He Xin will occasionally be glad that the original owner has a good skin, a big man of 1.8 meters, although he is not as "beautiful" as those little fresh meat in later generations, but overall it is passable. If it is really like his previous life, he has just been in his early teens at the age of 1.6 and will still have pimples on his face at the age of twenty, and he will not look at himself if Wang Xiaoshuai is killed.

He Xin sighed, he didn't have any ideas, but Wang Xiaoshuai looked down on himself and gave himself face, so he had to carry it, and he couldn't mess up this job.

There are still a few days before entering the group, and it is not immediately turned on after joining the group, it is said that the script will be read, and the actors will be familiar with each other. He Xin asked himself if he was a smart person, he had been a scumbag who graduated from junior high school for two lifetimes, so the stupid bird flew first.

At first, he was going to memorize the lines first, but after memorizing it for a while, he found that it was wrong, and he felt that he had to read the script thoroughly first.

How to eat it thoroughly?

According to his understanding, just like in a Chinese class, you must first familiarize yourself with the main idea, summarize the main idea, and then summarize the main idea of the paragraph.

After two days of studying in a rented house, he was surprised to find that he tended to memorize lines smoothly after understanding, and he still remembered them so well that he would not forget them.

At this point, he couldn't help sighing, no wonder when he was in school, the teacher kept emphasizing that memorizing texts must first be understood, and he knew that this trick would work, and he would not always fail the language.

After memorizing the lines went up, he began to ponder the changes in the tone of the lines according to the description in the script, but the change in the tone of the lines needed to set the situation according to the description in the script, so he closed his eyes and began to imagine.

For example, this paragraph:

Xiaogui and his cousin Qiusheng were eating noodles while peeking at the little nanny in the opposite building who kept changing clothes and showing off at the window.

Qiusheng: "Hey, she changed her set again, you see." ”

Xiaogui: "Don't say it, that woman is quite beautiful!"

Qiusheng: "Beautiful, what's wrong, see if it's illegal?"

Xiaogui: "Do you know her?"

Qiusheng: "She just came to me to change soy sauce...... Xiaogui, have you seen it, the women in this city, you see that when you change it, it will be a lot of clothes, a waste!"

Qiusheng pushed Xiaogui: "Hey, okay, don't look at it, it's not good for your body and mind to see too much, go work." ”

He Xin could imagine that the familiar Qiusheng was pulling noodles, laughing obscenely, and speaking sourly.

What should Xiaogui do at this time?

Also eating and watching at the same time?

No, a seventeen-year-old boy who had just entered the city, was in the middle of his youth, and when he saw beautiful city women, he kept changing into beautiful clothes and walking around in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows like a fashion model. His eyes must have been staring out, and he forgot to eat the bowl, even if Qiusheng didn't let him see it, his eyes were still reluctant......

Hey, that's interesting!

The imaginary picture is like a window opening in He Xin's mind, and a world that has never been seen before is gradually revealed.

He felt these pictures, felt the stories in the script, and felt all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows about Xiaogui.

I don't know how long it took, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the beams and rafters in a daze, the dull words on the original script were very vivid in his mind at this time.

The streets of the capital were full of traffic, Xiaogui, who was broken in his head, his cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding......

All this seemed to be his own experience, and He Xin felt uncomfortable for a while.

Probably this is the so-called performance, or this is a performance that a rookie who has never had acting experience understands.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to join the group.

He Xin didn't have a suitcase, and when he came out of the construction site, he even threw away the cover roll, just a snakeskin bag. At this time, I sorted out a few clothes, towels, toiletries, took a plastic bag, and rode straight to the ground on the 28 bar.

The crew is still stationed in the guest house of the new film studio in North Taipingzhuang.

"Here we go!"

As soon as I entered the door, the girl who was standing next to the camera at the audition and helping to write the words greeted her warmly.

"Here, Sister Na!"

This girl is the assistant director of the crew, named Tana, and she is an ethnic minority.

"Director, where are they in the room?"

The lobby was deserted.

"The director, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Cao went to scout the scene. Oh, you're in room 201. ”

Tana asked the service desk for a room key for him, and said, "Li Bing has just arrived, you share a room with him." Li Bing, you know, right? It's the one who plays Xiaojian. ”

"I know, the director mentioned it to me before. But I know the name, and people don't know it yet. He Xin said with a smile.

"Giving you two a room is to get acquainted with each other as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Na. ”
