Chapter 5 Script Reading

Seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, thin like a monkey, and the sweatshirt on his body is loose.

This was He Xin's first impression when he met Li Bing.

"Hey, buddy, you're the one who plays Xiaogui?"

Without waiting for He Xin to speak, Li Bing leaned against the wall crookedly, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking ruffian, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a mouthful of Beijing films.

"Yes, you are Li Bing who plays Xiaojian, my name is He Xin, hello!" He Xin greeted with a smile.

He didn't care about Li Bing's appearance as a second-year student, this kind of seventeen or eighteen-year-old child was all over the street.

"He Xin, this name sounds familiar. ”

Li Bing muttered and walked over to shake his hand.

"Probably someone else has that name. ”

He Xin replied casually, and at the same time looked at the room, although it was a guest house, the conditions were not bad. Two beds, a bedside table in the middle, a 21-inch TV, no air conditioning, but a ceiling fan on the top, and a separate bathroom at the door.

Obviously, Li Bing, who arrived first, had already occupied the bed by the window in the south, so he put the plastic bag in his hand on the other bed.

Li Bing glanced at the plastic bag containing clothes and towels, raised his head again, with a clear sense of superiority, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to He Xin.

"You're out of town?"

"Well, my hometown is northeastern. ”

"How old?"

"Twenty. ”

"Yo, that has to be called brother, brother, new brother!"

"You're welcome, how old are you......"

Before He Xin finished speaking, he heard the child exclaim: "Brother Xin! Your name is that Hong Kong movie, what is it called a casino? Yes, a casino tycoon! Andy Lau plays it, and his name is He Xin, the boss! The people of the rivers and lakes call him a new brother! I say, no wonder it sounds so familiar!

"yes, it's the first time I've heard of it. ”

He Xin is twenty years old and has the heart of an old man in his forties, but he really can't get the excitement of the second-year teenager in front of him, and he hasn't seen the movie.

"Haven't you seen it? Andy Lau, Wan Ziliang starring, as well as Wang Zuxian and Qiu Shuzhen, it's exciting...... Oh, I'm eighty-two, and I've just turned eighteen this year, so I'll call you new brother from then on. ”

may have been stained with Liu Tianwang's light, and He Xin and Li Bing quickly became familiar with each other. This is a local, still in a vocational high school, and loves skill cycling. When I auditioned at the beginning, I came several times in the crowd, and finally was selected by Wang Xiaoshuai to play the role of Xiao Jian.

He and Li Bing are the earliest group of actors to come, and in the next two days, the main creators gathered one after another, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Playing Xiaogui's cousin Qiusheng is an actor from the Central Experimental Theater who graduated from Chinese opera, with a familiar face that often appears in anti-Japanese dramas in the future. It's a rough man, the name is very literary, it's called Li Mengnan, how can I hear it like a girl's name.

Of course, the most familiar is Xiaoxiao's actor Gao Yuanyuan, a famous beauty! When she was sick in her last life, He Xin still remembered that she married a Wanwan and had just given birth to a daughter.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan was already very famous, the famous "clear-mouthed girl", the real person is indeed very beautiful, with big eyes, a little baby fat, and her face is full of collagen.

Speaking of which, He Xin is quite envious of Li Bing, this kid not only wants to fall in love with Gao Yuanyuan in the play, but also kisses her in the end.

The funniest thing is the actor of Xiaoxiao's new boyfriend Dahuan, this is not the zoo clothing market that sells jeans! The jeans on He Xin's body were bought from him.

As soon as I was introduced, I learned that this product was the head of this piece of trick bike. When Wang Xiaoshuai was looking for someone, he helped Zhang Luo. The classmates who play Xiao Jian in the play, the little ruffians under Da Huan, including Li Bing, are his little brothers.

Although Li Mengnan and Gao Yuanyuan joined in the play, looking at himself, Li Bing, the boss who moved the criticism and the ruffian, He Xin really doubted at first whether this was a grass stage team.

However, he quickly dispelled this idea, because he knew that the original name sounded a little familiar, and Wang Xiaoshuai, who was secretly labeled as a "non-mainstream director" by him, was actually very awesome.

He has made several films before and won awards abroad, and last year he made a film called "Dream Pastoral" and won the Society Award of the China Film Artists Association.

Although he has never seen any of the movies he made, he has never seen or heard of them.

"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is Wang Xiaoshuai's fifth work, produced by Beijing Film Studio, especially when two foreigners from France appeared in the crew, so that He Xin, who had never seen anything in his life, couldn't help but be in awe.

And the little nanny in the play, it is said that Director Wang also plans to invite a big name to make a cameo, which big name is still unknown.

The so-called script reading is not only to read their respective lines, but also to participate in the production team, screenwriters, photographers, artists and other behind-the-scenes actors.

Everyone reads and listens, and whoever feels that there is a problem and is uncomfortable will put it forward, and the director and screenwriter will discuss the revision with everyone.

At this time, He Xin got the real script. There are not only lines on it, but also the settings of specific shooting scenes, lighting, camera positions, actors' movements, and so on.

How to turn on the lights, how to put the camera position, and art design or something, He Xin doesn't understand these professional things, but the director's setting of the scene in the script is actually similar to the scene he imagined, or there are commonalities.

Of course, most of the settings described in the script, after reminiscing, and then suddenly realized, it is obvious that the director's idea is more clever.

While reading aloud, He Xin suddenly found a problem.

Even if he had made a lot of preparations before, the tone, rhythm, and even expression of the lines were used, but the voice that was read was not the same as Li Mengnan's lines.

It's not that his voice is ugly, nor is it that Li Mengnan's lines are so rich and subdued, but he always feels a little awkward, and he doesn't seem to be on the same channel.

And when he spoke to Li Bing, there was no such situation. And when Li Bing and the actor Zhao Yiwei, who played Xiaojian's father, exchanged words, He Xin magically found that the two of them also had that kind of awkwardness.

Zhao Yiwei also graduated from Chinese opera, and Li Mengnan is from the Central Experimental Theater.

He Xin noticed that Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to have noticed the problem as well, but he didn't squeak, maybe it was within his tolerance, or he had expected this to happen.

He Xin didn't say anything, and after coming down, he wanted to deliberately imitate them and say his lines, but no matter how he imitated it, it always felt like a taste.

He is actually quite simple, and he wants to do this job well, but once his mind is not clear and he is blocked, the whole person is not good.

After a few days of getting along, under He Xin's conscious welcome, he finally had a good relationship with Li Mengnan. Seeing that the heat was almost over, he took advantage of his free time that night and hurriedly pulled people to a small restaurant near the guest house.

After the two hard dishes, two glasses of wine, and the excitement came up, He Xin said his confusion again.

"Haha!

Li Mengnan was happy when he heard it, and nodded at him with chopsticks and said, "Do you think we can imitate this mouth casually? ”

"Brother, then tell me about it!" He Xin said busily.

"I'll tell you......"

Seeing that He Xin looked humbly asking for advice, and was so sincere, Li Mengnan opened the conversation.

Learning acting is not a simple matter, in Li Mengnan's words, when he was going to school in Chinese opera, he would have to do morning exercises at six o'clock in the morning, open his voice, move his body, practice his voice, practice his voice, practice his mouth, and tongue twisters, such as 800 pacesetters running to the north slope and so on.

As the grade level progresses, there will be homework, monologues, poems, essays, lines, etc., which must be completed before breakfast. In the evening, homework will be arranged, that is, sketches or scripts, and it is common to arrange until midnight or even early in the morning.

“...... Therefore, acting is a very specialized science, and it is not at all the superficial thing you think is to make an expression or make an action. To learn acting, you must have four simultaneous progressions: lines, vocal music, body and performance, which is what we usually call the so-called vocal table schedule. ”

"You see, for example, when I usually perform dramas in the troupe, I have to face hundreds of audiences on the stage, and I have to say the lines so that the audience can hear, hear, understand, expressive, and charming. There is a saying that if you have a talented voice, you must work hard in your mouth. That is to say, if the voice is not trained, there will be no sonorous feeling. ”
