Chapter 6: The Sorrow of a Rookie
"Got it?"
After a long talk, Li Mengnan picked up the wine glass with a proud face and took a sip.
He Xinmuran nodded, very disappointed in his heart, originally he wanted to learn from Li Mengnan and listen to what the trick of this line was, but it turned out to be the same thing at all.
As the saying goes, everything needs to be laid on the ground, and opportunism will not work.
At the same time, he also wondered in his heart, if Li Bing played Xiaojian because he knew how to ride a bicycle, which was determined by the particularity of the character, then Wang Xiaoshuai chose himself to play Xiaogui, what did he like about himself?
Li Mengnan picked up the peanuts in the kung pao chicken and ate it, looked up and saw He Xin's depressed face, picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said, "Troublesome, come, drink one." ”
He Xin touched a glass with him, and said sullenly: "I don't even know what to do now." ”
In his previous life, he was a southerner, and after being reborn and occupying the body of the original owner, He Xin now speaks a little carelessly, revealing the taste of a big ballast.
"Don't worry, take your time, it's not a one-time performance. ”
Saying that, Li Mengnan looked at He Xin and groaned: "Since you like acting, you should go to the entrance examination! Not only to learn acting, but also many theories and methods, you have to master all of these, and you will improve a lot." ”
"Entrance exam?"
He Xin didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.
"That's right, Chinese opera, Nortel, and Shangju in the south all have performance departments. You see that you are acting in movies now, the male number one, or the work of director Wang Xiaoshuai, and the school admissions attaches great importance to this. ”
"But those are all universities, right, so you still have to take the college entrance examination, right?" He Xin asked tentatively.
"Of course, but the score in the cultural class is not high, as long as you meet the minimum admission score. Li Mengnan said disapprerovingly.
If it was just an interview, He Xin still had the courage to give it a try, and as soon as he heard that he was going to take the college entrance examination, he would know that it was over.
Li Mengnan saw that he was silent, and thought that he was unwilling, so he persuaded in the tone of a person who came over: "Director Xiaoshuai is a pioneer director, and he may prefer primitive things, and he doesn't pay much attention to whether you are professional or not, but if you want to take this road in the future, you must study systematically." Your current lines...... Well, I can't say at all. ”
"Let me tell you this, some directors choose actors, and he will give you a line for you to say, and he won't watch you perform, listen to whether you can act or not. This is because the lines and the performance cannot be two layers of skin, say that your lines are good, the performance is terrible, or say that the buddy is very good, the lines are terrible, it is impossible, it is absolutely integrated. ”
The implication is that He Xin can't act at all.
He Xin's face was hot when he heard it, and he was very embarrassed: "I just graduated from junior high school, and my grades are very poor." And it's been almost four years since I left school, and it is estimated that all the things I learned before have been returned to the teacher, and the college entrance examination ......"
Needless to say, there wasn't even a door.
Li Mengnan didn't expect this situation, and was silent for a long time before saying: "If that's the case, then you can go to a refresher class, there are no requirements, just pay the money, Chinese opera has such a refresher class every year." ”
"How much is the tuition?" He Xin asked.
"There are four or five thousand, seven or eight thousand, and the person in charge of the stall in the Chinese opera is my classmate, I'll help you ask when I go back." Li Mengnan said.
"Hey, thank you, brother!" He Xin hurriedly thanked him.
Inviting Li Mengnan out for a drink, he originally wanted to learn from the experience, but when he talked about going to school, even He Xin himself felt a little incredible, he wasn't sure if he liked to perform.
Li Mengnan's news was very fast, and he told him the next day that the one-year short-term refresher course of Chinese opera starts in March and September every year, and March has passed, and he can only attend the class that starts in September, and the tuition fee is a little more than 8,000 a year.
Although there are no requirements for this kind of refresher class, and you can basically go to it with money, Li Mengnan said that the quality of teaching is okay and not foolish.
In any case, tuition fees are a big deal in the first place.
He Xinyi summed up, anyway, it's still early, and I'll talk about it after filming this drama.
The opening ceremony did not have a big scene like three animals and six animals, burning incense and worshipping as He Xin imagined, that is, the camera was covered with a red cloth, and then the director shouted: "Turn on the camera!"
This is officially turned on.
At the start-up ceremony, He Xin saw Gao Yuanyuan, who had changed into a school uniform, speaking of which this girl was still a year older than him, but she looked tender, standing with several girls in the same school uniform, standing out from the crowd, but there was no sense of disobedience.
He Xin has no rivalry with her, except for a little excitement to see the star when they meet for the first time, they are usually nodding friends, he didn't deliberately pull the relationship, let alone think that something would happen.
Moreover, there are agents with them wherever they go, not in order to take care of other people's schedules, the director also specially advanced other people's scenes.
On the topic of acting, He Xin and Li Bing, two rookies who live in the same room, often communicate, and occasionally rehearse according to the script, but it is purely rookies pecking each other.
When reading the script before, Li Bing's performance was quite good, and he basically spoke clearly. But when I really arrived at the scene, I found that the goods couldn't be let go at all, either by mistake or forgetting the words, which gave Wang Xiaoshuai a headache.
"No, I'm afraid I'm really not this material?"
The teacher is not good, a whole day of "stuck!", "stop!", "no!", "come again", the whole Li Bing is about to doubt life, and at night he took He Xin to the small restaurant, drowning his sorrows with wine, and pouring out the boredom in his heart.
"Isn't this just the beginning, don't worry, didn't the director say anything about you. ”
He Xin also squatted on the scene all day to observe, it should be said that Wang Xiaoshuai was relatively patient, at least he didn't scold people on the spot.
"The director didn't say anything, but then I felt sorry for the director. And that sister, you saw her face today, she was almost like a donkey, and her agent muttered vigorously in front of the director when she finished work, there must be nothing good to say. ”
"You're embarrassed to say that people, people have been with you for a day today, and I'm not happy if I change them. ”
He Xin spit out a bad sentence, and then wondered a little: "No, you weren't like this when you rehearsed before?"
"I don't know what's going on, but when I poke the camera there, I feel like I'm feeling exhausted, and my mind goes blank. I couldn't remember what I wanted to do at all. Li Bing said depressedly.
Li Bing's pain He Xin couldn't understand, when he auditioned, he was able to be more open in front of the camera, compared with Li Bing, it was two extremes.
He thought about it for a while and came up with an idea: "Then you don't care about the camera, forget about the existence of the camera, and act as you usually do in rehearsals." ”
Li Bing said with a bitter face: "The director told me the same, I also want to be the camera does not exist, but as long as my eyes sweep it, I feel that my heart beats faster, and people are confused." ”
What is it?
Camera phobia?
"I guess it's good to get used to your problem. I said that you are really, if it were me and fall in love with such a beautiful girl, it would matter where his camera was!Hey, there is still a kiss scene between you and her in the script!" He Xin could only smile and be relieved.
"Fart's kiss scene, just kiss it on the face. That sister...... Forget it, don't talk about it, come on, come on, drink!" Li Bing shook his head, looking depressed.
The two had an awkward quarrel on the first day, and they had to play a little couple in the play, and He Xin was tired of Wang Xiaoshuai when he thought about it.
He is a newcomer, and Wang Xiaoshuai asked him to stay with the crew on the scene and familiarize himself with the situation, so as not to be in a state like Li Bing when filming Xiaogui's scenes in the future.
may think that He Xinru is teachable, Li Mengnan also specially brought him a few books about performance, the pages are already fried, and at a glance, you can see that the owner usually turns it.
The famous "Actor's Self-cultivation" is a tome, very thick, divided into two volumes, He Xin turned more than ten pages, he knew all the words on it, but when it was connected, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't read it at all.
Recently, he has been researching a very thin, about 100-page "Six Lectures on Acting", but he feels that he has gained something.
For example, in the book, emotional substitution is talked about, which means that if an actor wants to perform feelings, he must often invoke his own similar emotions.
There is an example in the book, you want to play a woman with a dead husband, you haven't died a husband, what's the matter?
Maybe you have died a dog, and you can graft the sadness of a dead dog onto the body of your dead husband.
In this way, the performance is natural and vivid, without being pretentious.
The dead dog had no feelings for He Xin, he tried to recall the feeling when his grandfather died in his previous life, and when the sadness accumulated to a certain extent in his heart, the tears naturally came down, and he really cried bitterly.
