Chapter 452: Experiencing the Character

"You guy, it's really not awkward at all!" Ye Jiaying said helplessly, "Okay, then you can spare the summer vacation, and wait for me to notify you to join the group to film." ”

"What, are you going to shoot during the summer vacation?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Writing the script, building the crew, selecting the actors, selecting the location, making the shooting plan, making the props and sets, all these preliminary work takes time. Ye Jiaying said, "It's the beginning of March, and when these preliminary preparations are done, it will take a few months, and it will almost have to be started in the summer vacation." ”

"Of course, if all the preparations go smoothly and we catch up, it is not impossible to start the operation in May. Ye Jiaying continued, "But it's not like you participated in "Singer" last year, you can spend one or two days a week to record, and you can usually go to school." To make a movie, you have to join the group, and you are still the leading actor, so it is impossible to go back to class halfway. Can you take a month or two off from school to film, and then take a summer vacation after filming?"

"It doesn't seem to be a good fit. Xiao Yao said, "Then it's summer vacation." ”

After entering the university, Xiao Yao has always tried to keep a low profile in school, no matter how he plays outside, and he doesn't want to be too different. Since Ye Jiaying's film shooting is normally carried out during the summer vacation, Xiao Yao will definitely not insist that Ye Jiaying advance to May.

The three major film and television schools in Huaxia are not very supportive of acting students, and they go out to take over and film when they are freshmen and sophomores. Because in the freshman and sophomore years, there are not only more theoretical courses, but also a lot of basic skills learning and training, which is a period of laying a solid foundation. In the third and fourth years of college, there are more practical courses, and it is also a practice for students to join the crew to film, and the attitude of the school will be relaxed a lot.

Schools can't decide whether to take on the drama for students, and they mainly achieve their own goals by restricting students from taking long vacations. If a student does not show up in a school class without asking for leave or if the leave is not approved, it will be treated as absenteeism.

The school has a system of punishment for students who are absent from school. The number of class hours of absenteeism ranges from short to long, and the corresponding punishment measures range from deducting the usual performance points, deducting the final total score, failing to take the course, warnings, demerits, compulsory repetition, and even persuasion to quit.

Usually the filming cycle of a film and television work takes at least one month or more, except for those small roles that run the show, the filming of the main roles generally lasts for more than a month. If the school does not approve leave, it will be difficult for students to stay in the crew for a long time to film. Absenteeism for one month in a row will at least be a demerit punishment, and if there are more class hours during this period, it is not impossible to force repeat a grade or persuade you to quit.

In this way, between filming and demerits, repeating grades, and even being dissuaded from school, students will weigh it carefully. Very few students don't even want a film and television school for a play, and the school naturally achieves its goal of controlling students to take on the drama too early.

However, the original intention of the school is not to want students to abandon their studies because they go out too early to take over the play, and at the same time, it is controlled by restricting the use of long vacations, so the winter and summer vacations are not within the control of the school.

Zhao Rui is one year older than Xiao Yao, Lin Qisan and others, and when Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan graduated from high school the year before last, Zhao Rui had already completed his freshman year at Yenching Film Academy. At that time, one of the important reasons why Zhao Rui was able to participate in the filming of the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" was also because the drama was filmed during the summer vacation.

After Xiao Yao entered the Shenju Performance Department, he took a total of three long vacations of more than a week, all of which were last year. They went to France to participate in the short film film festival, went to the United States to find Sun Tingting to shoot "ThinkingOutLoud" when participating in "Singer", and participated in New York Fashion Week.

These three times, Xiao Yao took a week off. Although the two trips to France and Fashion Week were later extended by nearly a week, the French one was because the short film won the award and had to negotiate with people about the rights, and the New York Fashion Week was the one that was robbed and kidnapped, all of which were considered well-reasoned. The reason for these leave requests was not to film, and the duration did not exceed half a month, strictly speaking, it was not considered to break the rules of the school, and the school agreed to Xiao Yao's application for leave and extended vacation with pain.

Xiao Yao currently has no bad records in school, and naturally he doesn't want to add a stain to his file in the last two months of his sophomore year.

It's the beginning of March, not long after the start of school, and there are still four months left before the summer vacation, a full semester. Although Xiao Yao said that he didn't do anything except filming in Ye Jiaying's movie, in the past four months, Xiao Yao didn't plan to do anything except go to school. With his current mental and energetic energy, he didn't do anything but go to school for four months, and it felt too boring.

The first thing Xiao Yao planned to do was still related to Zhan Youcheng.

After talking to Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao also called Zhan Youcheng and told him that he had agreed to play his role, the conditions he offered had been met, and Ye Jiaying would go to him to talk about specific authorization matters next.

After that, Xiao Yao stopped for about a week. When she heard the news from Ye Jiaying that she and Zhan Youcheng had negotiated the authorization, she and the screenwriter she found also had preliminary contact and conversation with Zhan Youcheng, and the weekend after she had started to write the script, Xiao Yao appeared in front of Zhan Youcheng again.

This time, Xiao Yao directly found Zhan Youcheng's store.

"Brother Cheng, have you ever applied for a passport?" After some greetings, Xiao Yao asked Zhan Youdao.

"Hmm, why are you asking this?" Zhan Youcheng said curiously.

"I'd like to ask you to come with me on a trip to Germany. Xiao Yao smiled.

"What are you doing in Germany?" Zhan Youcheng was even more puzzled.

"Go put on a prosthetic. Xiao Yao said, "I know that there is a prosthetic company in Germany that has a prosthetic limb that can be used to make people climb rocks and climb mountains. ”

"A prosthetic leg that can make people climb mountains and rocks?" Zhan Youcheng's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough," Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not that you don't want to pretend to be prosthetic, you just don't want to pretend that you can't climb mountains." ”

"Actually, I originally wanted to order one for you directly. Xiao Yao scratched his hair embarrassedly and continued, "I even sent the leg circumference and photos of your severed limb wound, but people say that the bare leg circumference data is useless, they not only need to know the leg circumference of your wound, but also know the leg length of the missing part and your own height and weight, and also have to do a series of tests on the sound right leg in order to make a prosthetic leg that suits you." ”

"No wonder you had to take a picture of my injured leg that day, it turned out to be for this. You had that in mind at that time, right?" Zhan Youcheng said, "I said a long time ago, if you pretend to be prosthetic, you have to go to a prosthetic company, so you just send a data to it, of course not." ”

"Yes, this is a blind spot in my knowledge, but I have now filled it up. Xiao Yao said, "I heard you say that you can't climb mountains with prosthetic limbs, and I didn't believe it, but after I went back, I checked it and found that there are now prostheses that can assist in mountaineering and even rock climbing." At least that, my judgment is right. I compared it and found that a German company's products have the best reputation, but they don't have a branch in China, so we can only go to Germany. ”

"Thank you. Zhan Youcheng said gratefully, "If you tell me this, I am already very grateful." You can tell me about the German company, and I'll go to Germany myself. ”

"Do you know German?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I don't know German, but I can't speak English. "Zhan has enlightenment.

"Then have you ever been to Germany? That company is in Munich, do you have any acquaintances there?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"No, I've only traveled to Asian countries like Thailand and Japan. Zhan Youcheng shook his head, "I haven't been to Europe, and I don't know anyone abroad." ”

"Your legs are not very convenient, and you have never been to Germany, so let me accompany you. Xiao Yao said, "I know German, and I know people in Munich." ”

"This..."Zhan Youcheng hesitated.

"Alright, don't do that. Xiao Yao said, "Since you have traveled, you must have a passport, depending on your age, the passport should not have expired." I have to apply for a visa to Germany, and I haven't got a visa to Germany yet, so I'm waiting to apply for it with you. After a while, I will make an appointment online, and when the appointment is ready, I will pick you up and go to Yanjing, and we will go to the interview together. ”

"So thoughtful?" Zhan Youcheng smiled bitterly, "I don't even know what to say." ”

"Then don't say anything, just follow me when the time comes. Xiao Yao smiled, "I won't take you to Germany and sell it." ”

"Why are you helping me so much?" Zhan Youcheng suddenly looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Then why do you have to appoint me to play you?" Xiao Yao also looked at Zhan Youcheng.

"Does it matter?" said Zhan.

"Of course there is," Xiao Yao said, "I do this, and there are conditions." ”

"What conditions?" asked Zhan Youcheng.

"Do you know the character experience?" Xiao Yao said.

"What kind of character experience?" Zhan Youcheng shook his head blankly.

"It's the role that the actor experiences to play. Xiao Yao said, "I want to play you, and the role I want to experience is you." I want to be in the environment you are in, to see what you see, to do what you do, to experience your life, to feel your feelings. If I don't go back tonight, I'll stay at your house, and for the next four months, as long as I have time, I will come here at any time to experience your life. Live in the house you live in, do the things you do, like help you look at the store or something. When the prosthesis is ready, I still want you to take me to climb the mountain, I hope you don't refuse. ”

"So you took me to Germany to order a prosthetic leg, also to act in that movie?"

"You can understand it that way. Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.

"Although I don't believe it, but okay," Zhan Youcheng said, "I accept everything you say." ”

"Okay, now the first step, you first introduce me to the products and prices in your store, and I'll get a feel for how you run this store in a moment. Xiao Yao pointed to the goods on the shelves in the store.

"This is starting to get into the role?" Zhan Youcheng glared.

"I said I wouldn't go back tonight, but of course it started now. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Okay," Zhan Youcheng stood up on crutches, took a booklet from the counter and handed it to Xiao Yao, "This is the list of goods, you can introduce it to you while you look at me." ”

"Boss, do you have tents for sale here? A young man who looked like a couple walked into the store, and one of the young men asked.

Zhan Youcheng sat still and did not answer the young man, but turned his head to look at Xiao Yao.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Xiao Yao, who was also sitting and didn't move, looked at Zhan Youchengdao, "People want to buy things, why don't you boss greet guests, why are you staring at me?"

"Didn't you say you were going to be a clerk? Zhan Youchengdao, "I just told you the list of goods, people asked about tents, and went to introduce the tents in our store to others." ”

"You have to go and show me first," Xiao Yao said as a matter of course, "If you don't show me, how do I know how you do business to greet customers?"

"You..." Zhan Youcheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and finally shook his head helplessly and stood up.

"Oh, what a cow clerk!" said the young man in surprise, "Do you want the boss to do a demonstration of selling things?"

"I can't afford such a good clerk. Zhan Youcheng shook his head and muttered, and said to the pair of young people, "There are tents for camping in the wild, depending on which one you need, please come here with me to see, there are all kinds of price points..."

The business of the outdoor goods store is relatively average, and there are a total of four groups of customers entering the door throughout the afternoon. After the first demonstration, Xiao Yao also came forward to greet two groups of guests who came in to inquire. However, Xiao Yao only helped greet two groups of guests, and left the store after saying hello to Zhan Youcheng, Zhan Youcheng asked him what he was doing, but he didn't say, and when Zhan Youcheng was about to close the door, Xiao Yao returned with two things.

Seeing the two things in Xiao Yao's hands when he came back, Zhan Youcheng was speechless for a while, pointing to the two things and saying, "Why are you doing this?" It turned out that Xiao Yao didn't know where to get two crutches and came back.

"Experience the role!" Xiao Yao said seriously, "You just said that if you accept my experience of the role, you won't think I'm spoofing you or something, right?" ”

"You also want to experience this?" Zhan Youcheng said, "I have already discussed the outline of the script with your mother and the screenwriter, and the movie will end when I am rescued, so there is no need to experience this at all!"

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yao was very similar to himself in terms of wording, tone and action when he greeted customers in the store just now, he was indeed learning to imitate him, Zhan Youcheng wanted to take a cane.

"This helps me feel your psyche. Xiao Yao said.

"I really can't stand you!" Zhan Youcheng rolled his eyes helplessly, "I'm going to close the door and go home, the car at the door is yours, go drive." ”

"What kind of car are you driving," Xiao Yao put his cane under his armpit and said, "Don't you usually walk back, of course we also walk back." The car will be thrown in front of your store, and I will drive it again tomorrow when I go back. ”

"Whatever you want!" Zhan Youcheng threw down a sentence and began to close the store.

Zhan Youcheng first locked the glass door, and then pulled down the roller shutter iron door and locked it. In this process, Xiao Yao, who was on crutches, stood aside and watched, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.

Xiao Yao walked home with Zhan Youcheng and met Jiang Yan downstairs.

"Brother Cheng, I'm back. Jiang Yan first smiled and said hello to Zhan Youcheng who was walking in front, and then found that Zhan Youcheng was followed by a person.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, you're coming to Wuyou County again!" Jiang Yan said in surprise. Xiao Yao was wearing a hat and glasses, and he was not recognized by customers when he was in the store just now, but Jiang Yan's familiarity with Xiao Yao was much higher than that of customers who came into the store to buy things, so he recognized it immediately.

"Hmm. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Why don't you come with me..."Jiang Yan suddenly found that Xiao Yao was also on a pair of crutches, and his left foot was still hanging in the air, and he didn't even finish the previous sentence, so he exclaimed, "What's wrong with your legs?"

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao said.

"It's okay, how can you use a cane!" Jiang Yan said suspiciously.

"What did he say to experience the character, what did I do, what did he learn to do, even walking with crutches!" Zhan Youcheng said angrily, "Do you think he is insane?"

"When I played "Chengying", I was always experiencing the role, and many people said that I was crazy, and I won a newcomer award. Xiao Yao smiled. At this time, there was no one else downstairs, and Xiao Yao talked about his past without any worries.

"Really?" Zhan Youcheng said, "The first time I went home on crutches, I fell three times when I went upstairs!"

"Uh~" Xiao Yao's smile froze on his face.
