Ji Ming put the last mouthful of fritters in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, still unsatisfied.

"Ah~~"

"How many times have you yawned in the middle of the day, huh?"

Lan Yingying and Ji Ming played against each other, as soon as the other party yawned, she also wanted to follow along, these days, there are people who are not short of money, and there are really few who are not short of sleep - they are all sleepy. You're there yawning one after another, how can others hold back.

"Ah~" Lan Yingying covered her mouth and hit one too.

Ji Ming leaned on the stage and laughed, laughing for a while, yawning while laughing.

"You two, why did you go last night?" Wang Lei, who played the devil officer, said maliciously: "One is more sleepy than the other." ”

Song Yi nodded in response to Ren Yuan's words, and then walked back to Ji Ming and Lan Yingying, the three of them were playing: "Ji Ming is lazy, it must have been too hard in the previous paragraph, this time I am relaxed, the feeling of exhaustion in my body, the feeling of falling into the swamp with that kind of thought, it is so uncomfortable, I don't want to move at all." ”

"Let him rest for two days, he doesn't want to. ”

Ji Ming shook his head: "In my state, if I just rely on rest, I won't be able to stop for ten days and half a month, so let's join the group, and practice will pass." ”

"Cow. ”

Wang Lei gave him a thumbs up.

It's so hard for this dude.

"Hey," Lan Yingying also sat down opposite, pulled Song Yi together, and looked around: "Ji Ming's hot search the day before yesterday, oh yo, it's too scary." I was a little unreal at the time, and I thought, hey, I'm going to rehearse with this guy in two days? ”

"It's okay to rehearse, don't think about anything else, Teacher Cao is not at home, you are alone. Song Yi hehe, without waiting for Lan Yingying to beat her, quickly changed the topic: "I also brushed Weibo for a long time the day before yesterday, let me count, two monologues from our drama, and then a fragment and two tunes from the musical, in addition, there are pop songs in Mandarin and Cantonese, plus folk songs in a minor key, opera, and the rest are piano and classical dance...... What is this? Is there a professional exhibition in an art school?"

"Haha. Ji Ming tilted his head and smiled: "Admissions promotional video." ”

"Actually, you can really go to a musical, haven't you thought about it?"

Song Yi's question, many people should be curious, there are not many good projects in domestic musicals, but it is definitely not nothing, if Ji Ming is interested, he can still find some works worth trying - and with his fame, in fact, there is no need to worry about the box office, a musical is generally a hall with hundreds of people, and the attendance rate is very low, 30 points. The name Ji Ming is enough to fill a concert hall with hundreds of people.

The rest is to worry about word of mouth?

"Didn't meet a confident team?" Lan Yingying also asked.

Ji Ming looked at the big guy, and they all turned their heads to look at him, and even Han Mingqiu, the eunuch teacher who didn't like him, also looked at him.

"I don't have time. ”

"Huh?"

This answer is really hard to explain.

"Think about it, I was in the variety show "Actor" during the Chinese New Year the year before last," Ji Ming glanced at Lan Yingying and Song Yi, both girls who had participated in the same show, and nodded: "Later, I was going to tour "Thunderstorm", and then I went to shoot "Immortals", and then I rehearsed the Chinese opera "The Last Emperor", and there was a tour after the end of the theater festival, and then there was a winter vacation, and the whole winter vacation was in the crew of "The Wandering Earth", and then I came back for the fan meeting two days ago, and now I am here again." So you see, where do I get the time? I still have to go to class. ”

"Then you can squeeze out the time for making movies or dramas, or you don't want to do it, so you shoot it very late. Han Ming's begging for the old man was very awkward, just like finding a way to make Ji Ming uncomfortable.

Ji Ming frowned and thought about it, and Yu Guang saw that Han Mingqiu was a little proud.

"When I decided on "The Wandering Earth", my vocal music and dance at that time were not at the current level. Teacher Han must have thought that I had a very high level in the morning, didn't I? Xie knew that you valued me, but I didn't know that you valued me so much, which really made me embarrassed. ”

Burst.

These two people don't deal with each other a little, in the script discussion stage, it is the spice of the crew, everyone is happy and happy with this, Ji Ming loses less and wins more, after all, the dog is fearless.

"I haven't finished talking yet," Ji Ming stopped Han Mingqiu from speaking: "Later, it's the play of Renyuan, the opportunity to cooperate with several teachers, you see, Teacher Han, do you think this play of Renyuan is not as good as which musical? Do you think it's because the director's skills are not good, the screenwriter can't adapt it, or the teachers can't act it? If not, it's me—it's too good, so you can't play well?"

Hey, shameless man.

Ren Yuan watched Ji Ming carry him out and Han Mingqiu was not angry.

"You'll have the energy to fight, hurry up and play, talk a lot. ”

"It's just that I'm not young, and I'm still so angry. Ji Ming stood up, patted his pants, and looked at Han Mingqiu with deep understanding: "Be careful of yellow urine, and then mouth ulcers." ”

Lan Yingying snorted.

Han Mingqiu lost for a while, and he also admitted that he would just make up for it next time, and it was endless fun to fight with others, he hadn't thought rehearsals were so interesting for a long time.

……

Renyi's version of "The Last Emperor", when finalized, still retains some irrelevant perspective.

It is not said that I want to constantly explore too many experiences of the times from Pu Yi's body and these episodes, what feudal era, semi-colonial era, puppet Manchurian traitor, predatory by foreign powers, and then how the comprador class and the bourgeoisie make the country difficult to make a fortune - what conclusion is finally drawn, or what truth is explained.

It is a kind of seeing the big from the small, treating Pu Yi as an eye, and observing the different eras and different encounters he has experienced in his life.

It is also a kind of excavation direction that will be adopted in many artistic works.

"The Last Emperor" is a bit of the opposite, seeing the big and the small. It also creates scenes and puts historical fragments on the stage, and there are also short-handed encounters between characters, but in the end, its effect is to discover Pu Yi as a person, this individual in the context of the times, what is he thinking, and what kind of person has he become?

Everyone is in a certain era background, so the audience can see some of their own trajectories from this drama and from the changes in Pu Yi's entire life.

For example, there is a joke on the Internet, talking about the post-90s, this generation has graduated from junior high school, compulsory education tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted, they are going to buy a house, housing prices have skyrocketed, they are going to get married, the ratio of men and women is out of balance, they are going to have babies, and they can't afford to raise a baby...... The joke is just a joke, but in fact, on the other hand, everyone is being coerced forward, and then constantly struggling, this struggle is not necessarily positive, nor is it necessarily bright, all kinds, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.

We are like that, and so is Pu Yi.

We don't want to be one of the insignificant, insignificant and unspeakable things in the torrent of the times, and perhaps the same is true for Pu Yi.

This creative method of annotating individuals through the times is completely different from the creative method of interpreting the times with individuals as symbols, and it is also a very special attempt of human art - of course, the whole play still has a strong human art performance style.

Compared with the Chinese opera version, its depiction of those historical moments must be more somber and more gray.

For example, Ji Ming is now playing against Lan Yingying and Song Yi.

Li Lan, who played Wenxiu before, and Yin Tong, who played Wanrong, are both young, and their Wenxiu and Wanrong are also the troubles of young girls - even though the divorce of Wenxiu and the emperor is a landmark event in modern history, Li Lan's interpretation will not be excavated from the longitudinal length of this history, but from the perspective of a court girl who is depressed, unloved, and unfree.

Yin Tong is the same, Wanrong, as the queen, is a symbol of imperial power, in an abstract sense, her life is actually a supplement to Pu Yi's life, a silhouette of imperial power and imperial power, such a relationship. But her interpretation is also performed from the definition of a young queen, a depressed wife, and a woman in chains.

So now it's on Lan Yingying and Song Yi.

These two characters will never be just two women, in addition to the part of female characters, there is also a part of historical figures - this is a kind of performance philosophy consciousness, as an actor who grew up in the talent system, her whole system is like this, she can't say that in such a theme, I will play a woman, and then throw away her historical, abstract positioning.

That's very uncomfortable, a bit of self-denial.

Ren Ming, as the director of Renyi, did not have the idea of reforming the entire theater and the performance style and system established for more than 60 years.

So this play, the whole background color, is very different from the Chinese opera version.

And it's really harder.

Everyone, in addition to the role setting you have to perform, you also have to perform a historical positioning.

This is also a very special feeling for Ji Ming, at least he has not experienced it before, this feeling of integration and independence, unity and division is a particularly challenging and interesting attempt in performance.

He has already acted in a new version, and it is of course a good thing to have a new experience in the new version.

"Perform for a while. ”

After that, you have to play a paragraph casually, and you can hold the lines in your hands.

Lan Yingying saw Ji Ming, who was still lazy just now, like a beautiful girl transforming, although the clothes are still the same clothes, but the skin and flesh under the clothes seem to have become the same - lazy is gone, anger is gone, gentleness is gone, cold and hard, and the temperament of the spring breeze is also replaced by unstable neuroticism.

Behind the whole person, it is more like a layer of aura has opened up - there are ghosts and ghosts in it, and there are ghosts and ghosts.

Her own understanding of the character was stimulated almost immediately.

A bamboo, bent to the extreme, will break at any time, but she is always trying to return to an upright posture, this bamboo also has a layer of gas, as if it is from the background of the old photos of the Qing Palace, a living one, old and distant, faint.

"Divorced, married?" Pu Yi spit out these two unfamiliar words with a little difficulty: "You, you want to divorce me?"

"Yes, I've had enough of these days, I'm going to divorce you, I'm going to be my own person. ”

"Crazy," Pu Yi said as if reading the verdict: "Are you dreaming? Do you want to let the last bit of dignity of the Qing Dynasty be buried in your hands?"

“……”

Very good.

Ji Ming leaned back, and his two legs were bracled on the ground, saving effort. Then nodded, feeling good.

A good actor needs imagination very much, ordinary people, what skin and flesh are standing, what aura, what bamboo, there is no such idea at all, but there is often such a feeling among actors, your temperament comes out, it is a bamboo, bent but not broken - Ji Ming saw such a bamboo from Lan Yingying's side, so the overall is still very good.

"What do you think?" Lan Yingying sincerely asked, don't look like she has arrived at the home of her drama, but as soon as she plays it, the high and low will come out. In just a few words, who is in control of the field and who is following, there is no need to say a word, they all know it in their hearts.

"Well, that's good, but I think you're a little bit awesome. ”

"Huh?"

"Tell me about it. Ren Yuan happened to come over.

Ji Ming glanced at him: "Wenxiu herself is a strange woman, Concubine Dao, but she is so powerful, in fact, I don't think it's the kind of power that is unique, that is, I think it through, and then I have the bottom in my heart, I am not afraid of anything, as far as Sister Lan understands." Well, but in fact, this character should belong to a kind of bones, to put it seriously, it is called revolutionary, she is not thoughtful, and then driven by the result to do this, but she has a rebellious spirit in her bones, in the face of Pu Yi, in the face of everyone, her spirit is like a lighthouse, supporting her persistence.

These two kinds of power are not the same, they are very different, so to speak, Sister Lan can refer to it, how do you understand her, is it a little valuable. ”

Lan Yingying nodded thoughtfully.

"I also think this is," Song Yi interjected: "When I understand Wanrong, there is a similar situation, did she choose a path that is beneficial to her after many trade-offs? Maybe not, but her education, her life experience, lacks the revolutionization of Wen Xiu, just like Ji Ming said, she is already a part of the imperial power, she can't betray herself, to change her life, only gradually sink." ”

The word revolutionary is very common in Renyi.

Everyone is familiar with it.

Ren Yuan nodded, and there was no final word, so it was better to leave it to the actors to think about it themselves, as long as they thought it through.

This kind of communication, in the small rehearsal of "The Last Emperor", is countless, first discussing the plot and drama, and then discussing the collision of characters, and then directly acting in the opponent drama with three or five sentences, and then telling each other about their feelings and understanding with the rival actors, and then thinking, just go to the bones, to the bone marrow, to the subconscious to persecute, to dig - like a miner in a mining area where resources are exhausted, it takes a lot of effort to have a little harvest.

Save up all these small gains, finally hand over the work, get the money, the big white teeth are bared, and the face is full of ravines and smiles, hey, the life of the character, just live.

……

During the rehearsal of "The Last Emperor", Ji Ming took two and a half days to dub "Immortals", and the version he dubbed was already more than 130 minutes old - Director Wen chopped melons and vegetables, removed a lot, and I don't know if my heart is dripping blood.

"This is what the exhibition version looks like?"

"Not yet," Wen Yan shook his head: "After you finish matching, and then after the episode goes in, I will look at the whole thing again, and I will cut it again, I hope that the exhibition version will not exceed 100 minutes." ”

Ji Ming nodded.

Dubbing is relatively simple, Ji Ming's line demon king, the effect will only be better than the scene, because there are no various noises and disturbances, and many things that can be expressed in the voice are clearer.

Wen Yan had the urge to let him match it all over again, but he still held back.

The scene is always good with the scene.

The play and the words are integrated, even if the words are a little flawed, they have become a part of the play, real, natural, and comfortable.

"The next time I see it, it's the version that will be sent to Cannes? When the time comes, I'll also fill up the Jury of the Cannes Film Festival and see how good this show is. After Ji Ming finished matching, he also watched it again, and it was indeed obviously slightly more detailed than the first version, and the use of long lenses was also natural, without a sense of tension.

"Cannes," Director Wen pinched his neck: "I hope to have something to gain in Cannes." ”

"Make a wish successfully!"

emm…… Ji Ming is a little entangled, what does it mean to have gains?

Prize?

Concerned?

Have an overseas publisher interested?

Only then will we see it.

The registration for the Cannes Film Festival is closed before the end of March, and "Immortals" has actually sent the version in the past, which is the 180-minute one, but there is a little cleverness here that can be used, if it is really too late, hand in a DVD first, and then replace it with a new version before the selection review begins, such as in mid-April.

Please pick this film later, and watch it when my new version arrives. This is also why Cannes actually has two batches of lists, re-examined or re-selected, which are all small heads, mainly to give more time to some weighty directors.

For example, Wen Yan has about a month's allowance, and some very big directors can even not submit movies until they are announced-directly enter the main competition.

New directors, unknown directors, of course, don't think about it.

"There will be. Ji Ming nodded, no matter what it is, there will always be one, and the best one is the actor.

It's a pity that the dead ghost koi didn't react at all to Ji Ming's own wish - he was really too difficult, too difficult, otherwise he would have taken the actor while eating hot pot and singing.

Alas.

"Don't think there's much hope?" Wen Yan looked at him and sighed.

"No, no, I have a lot of confidence in you. ”

It would be better if you had a little faith in me...... Tut.
