Chapter 31: Can't Cry
After the filming of this scene, Lin Xiaoguang and Chen Ying felt a trace of embarrassment in their eye contact with each other, but the two of them immediately used a few jokes to bring the weird atmosphere of half a second.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang could also feel that although she didn't say it, she was still a little awkward in her heart.
If it is said that filming passion scenes tests the determination and patience of actors, then filming crying scenes is definitely a difficult obstacle for Lin Xiaoguang, and it is really difficult for Lin Xiaoguang, who has never received professional training, to shoot crying scenes.
But there is no way, the crying scene is an unavoidable test for every professional actor, plus the plot is needed again, then Lin Xiaoguang can only be, if there are difficulties, if there are no difficulties, there will be difficulties, and there will be difficulties in creation!
In the drama "The Sword of the Third Young Master", Ding Xiaodi played by Lin Xiaoguang, although he is the son of "Third Young Master" Xie Xiaofeng and "Tianzun" Murong Qiudi, he was raised by his adoptive father and adoptive mother who sold tofu for a living.
Before the official start of filming of this crying scene, Lin Xiaoguang immediately looked for Chen Ying on the set, wanting to learn from her and ask for some experience in filming crying scenes.
The two have worked together for a while, and Lin Xiaoguang's performance in the play is not bad, which makes Chen Ying think more and more that although Lin Xiaoguang is not an actor from the academy, he has unlimited possibilities like other academic actors.
The actors in this circle, under normal circumstances, will look down on each other, for example, most of the Chinese opera look down on Beiying, Beiying looks down on the play, and the actor looks down on Yeluzi.
To put it mildly, Chen Ying is also an actress who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, while Lin Xiaoguang is a supporting actor in a group performance.
But there are no absolutes in everything, Chen Ying happens to be the kind of woman who does not judge her background.
The set of "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
At this time, the director was directing Yu Feihong's performance in front of the camera, and Chen Ying was sitting in the corner waiting for the play, Lin Xiaoguang saw it, so he stepped forward to chat, he came to Hengcheng for almost a year, and he hadn't even filmed a crying scene, Lin Xiaoguang was afraid that Chen Ying would look down on him, so he was embarrassed to ask directly, and he said some messy topics as far as Gu left and right were concerned.
After talking for a long time, Lin Xiaoguang said: "Sister Xiaoying, you tell me the truth, what do you think of my acting skills?"
Chen Ying thought for a while and said truthfully: "It's so-so, it's not good, it's not bad, it's barely okay." β
"Then do you think I have a chance to become the leading actor in the future?" Lin Xiaoguang asked expectantly.
Lin Xiaoguang's question seems naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, but it is also a pimple in Chen Ying's heart.
You must know that in this world, there is no actor who is willing to play a supporting role all his life, and Chen Ying is naturally unwilling, but she has her own helplessness.
I think that when Chen Ying was in school, because of her personal image and temperament, she was directly positioned by the teacher of the professional class as the type of "Da Tsing Yi", and who doesn't know that almost all actresses debuted as Hua Dan, and only Hua Dan can attract the attention of the audience, so there is the possibility of being popular, positioning "Tsing Yi" means that Chen Ying will lose a lot of roles, and there will be no roles with distinct personalities, so she can only play some calm roles, similar to her previous role in "Huanzhu Gege" played Liu Hong in it, which led to Chen Ying's life, which was destined to become unpopular.
Obviously, the "tomboy" Tie Zhenzhen in "The Sword of the Third Young Master" is Chen Ying's rebellion and struggle against the fate of her "Tsing Yi".
In silence, Chen Ying put aside the unhappiness hidden in her heart, and began to carefully look at Lin Xiaoguang from top to bottom.
The second monk Lin Xiaoguang was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Sister Xiaoying, what do you mean by staring at me all the time?"
Chen Ying didn't answer immediately, but asked him: "Little brother, do you know what Hua Dan Xiaosheng means?"
Lin Xiaoguang thought about it in his mind, and said calmly: "I understand the meaning on the surface, but as for the deeper ones, I don't know very well." β
Chen Ying was noncommittal, slowed down, and asked him again: "Shengdan is pure and ugly, have you always heard of it?"
Afraid that if he didn't know, Chen Ying would diagnose him as mentally retarded, Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly said: "I've heard it, it seems to be a character in Peking Opera." β
Chen Ying nodded and said: "That's right, Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou are the five major professions in Peking Opera, and Xingdang is also the meaning of the role, and Shengxing is divided into Lao Sheng, Hongsheng, Xiaosheng, Wusheng, Doll Sheng, etc., little brother, what kind of do you think you belong to?"
Lin Xiaoguang said assumedly: "Then I must be Xiaosheng, but Sister Xiaoying, what does this Hongsheng mean? It sounds like it feels more powerful than Xiaosheng......
Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's thirsty appearance, Chen Ying did not feel impatient, but patiently explained to him: "Hongsheng is in Peking Opera, for the red-faced Xu Sheng, such as playing Guan Yu, Zhao Kuangyin, etc., this kind of actor is called Hongsheng." β
Lin Xiaoguang then asked, "What about Xiaosheng?"
"Xiaosheng mainly plays the Ling Zisheng in the play, like the general with the pheasant, the prince, as well as the gauze hat, the fan, the poor and so on. β
The general meaning of Chen Ying's words, Lin Xiaoguang understood, that is, what kind of stupid hat and what fan life Chen Ying said, he heard it a little foggy.
Listening to Chen Ying's explanation, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but think in his heart, the knowledge here is so profound, and people who have read books are different.
Lin Xiaoguang paused, smiled and said flatteringly: "Sister Xiaoying, if I guessed correctly, you should be the Dan in the Pure End of the Ugly of Shengdan, Xiaohuadan, right?"
It's just that Lin Xiaoguang didn't expect that his flattery didn't make Chen Ying feel happy, after Lin Xiaoguang finished speaking, she just sighed softly, and said: "You guessed wrong, my positioning in the drama is not Hua Dan, but Tsing Yi." β
"Tsing Yi, what the hell is Tsing Yi?" Lin Xiaoguang didn't know anything.
"Tsing Yi, mainly singing, plays the role of a good wife and mother, Hua Dan, also known as Hua Yi, is characterized by gorgeous clothing, and mainly plays the role of queen, princess, noble lady, female general, hawker, village girl, etc., I said it so clearly, do you understand?"
Listening to Chen Ying's explanation, Lin Xiaoguang instantly understood, no wonder he always felt that Chen Ying looked very kind and gentle, it turned out that her professional positioning was Tsing Yi of the type of good wife and mother.
Lin Xiaoguang nodded at Chen Ying, pondered in his heart, and said, "Sister Xiaoying, don't care too much about these positions, bright and moving, Hua Dan, who is like a spring dawn, does occupy half of the entertainment industry, but, I feel in my heart, Tsing Yi, compared to Hua Dan, should belong to a dignified and demure unique woman, Tsing Yi is a word that can only be understood, to put it simply, it refers to some actresses who may not be very eye-catching, but rely on temperament or acting skills to win, so let's say, Hua Dan has the advantages of Hua Dan, Tsing Yi also has the advantages of Tsing Yi, each has its own merits, Sister Xiaoying, you must not be presumptuous, think that you can only be a Tsing Yi in your lifeγ β
Chen Ying was stunned, recalling Lin Xiaoguang's words, and after a while, as if she had just woken up from a big dream, she smiled and teased: "Okay, little brother, looking at your usual big grin, it is quite desirable to comfort people." β
Nonsense, Comrade Lin Xiaoguang was also a college student who studied in his last life, and he studied undergraduate, according to the college entrance examination admission score line, his brain is no worse than those actors in Chinese opera, although he has not taken classes in college for a few days.
What Lin Xiaoguang doesn't understand is only the knowledge of acting, and his knowledge in this area is naturally not as good as Chen Ying, who graduated from Chinese opera.
Lin Xiaoguang laughed at himself and said: "Sister Xiaoying, don't hurt me, I am close to Zhu Zhechi, and I learned from you." β
Chen Ying glanced at Lin Xiaoguang and said angrily: "Yo, you are really panting when you say you are fat." β
Lin Xiaoguang smiled knowingly, and joked: "By the way, Sister Xiaoying, you just said that you Tsing Yi mainly sing, so your singing must be very good, right?"
In the face of Lin Xiaoguang's disguised praise, Chen Ying actually went against the norm this time, winked at Lin Xiaoguang, and joked with him with a smile: "Although what you said is right, my sister still feels a little embarrassed in her heart." β
Lin Xiaoguang was instantly stupid, and said in his heart, Sister Xiaoying is not as serious as usual, but she is also a very cute little woman.
It turned out that before applying for the Central Academy of Drama, Chen Ying had studied in the drama class of the Cantonese Opera School in Guanggu Province, during which she also learned vocal music, her singing level, not to mention reaching the professional level, but definitely the top in the amateur, listening to Lin Xiaoguang ask about singing, she was still quite proud.
It's just that Chen Ying prefers acting rather than singing.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be diligent if you have nothing to do, and you will be either a traitor or a thief.
Chen Ying is not the kind of ignorant girl who can lift her tail to the sky with a few flattering words.
I saw that Chen Ying looked at Lin Xiaoguang with both eyes, and looked at him with a gaze that almost saw through people and said: "Okay, little brother, don't slap me hard, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, I always feel in my heart that you are very abnormal today, you must have a ghost in your heart." β
Seeing that her little trick was exposed by her, Lin Xiaoguang was no longer verbose, and asked directly: "Sister Xiaoying, actually, I'm coming to you today, mainly to ask you, what is the trick of filming crying scenes, I'm afraid that when the filming starts later, if I can't cry, it will be very embarrassing." β
After thinking about it, Chen Ying said embarrassedly: "Well...... For a while, I can't say clearly, not to mention, no matter how much I say, you may not be able to comprehend what you are learning and selling. β
Lin Xiaoguang didn't give up, and said: "Then you make a long story short, just give me any advice." β
Chen Ying sighed and said, "Well, okay, that's the only way, under normal circumstances, there are three more common ways to shoot crying scenes." The first is to enter the play, enter the state of the play, and regard yourself as the person in the play. The other is to think of something that makes you feel sad, such as the misfortunes you have encountered in your life. Another is ......"
"What's it?" Lin Xiaoguang asked impatiently.
"There is also eye drops, which is no way to do it. β
"Eye drops? This can be ...... Do you have a strap on you?"

Chen Ying: "I feel that the essence of performance is life, but performance comes from life and is higher than life. The basic thing about performance is to really listen, see and feel, and only when you go to real life on the stage will you not feel that you have nothing to do, and your heart is full. When you want to perform, you need to enter the character in advance, think that you are what you are performing, be one with it, and don't act, all stage actions must start from the character's personality. β
