Luo Hongzhen remembered Guo Jingze's words when he left, and after only sitting for a while, he went to prepare the contract, and now only Bong Junhao and Lin Xiao were left in the conference room, sitting face to face, starting an epic embarrassing chat journey that opened Lin Xiao's acting career.

"The once glorious experiential actors are either old or crazy. It's rare that you've also embarked on this path, which makes me admire you very much! Most of those actors nowadays are quick-formed from the hybridization of methodism and expressionism, and they only have some crappy acting skills. Of course, there are also actors like you who have a pure experiential acting label, but there are few! And I'm also curious about what makes you put yourself into the role so quickly!"

Bong Joon-ho's words made Lin Xiao a little foggy.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiao was a little speechless in his heart, he really wanted to answer, he just bought a book of acting skills from the bookstore.

Bong Junhao looked at Lin Xiao's somewhat confused little eyes, and subconsciously asked: "That actor's agency went bankrupt and released you?"

"Well, it's a zk company, a small company that cultivates singer idols, and the boss seems to have run away with his sister-in-law...."Lin Xiao said a little embarrassed.

Bong Junhao's shock at this time was not acting, but was really frightened by Lin Xiao's words, a person who has not learned acting systematically, and every move in the audition has a unique charm like an experiential actor, is this the legendary genius? The most important thing is that this kind of wild genius has not yet led the way, which also makes the shocked Bong Junhao's eyes look at Lin Xiao have changed qualitatively, and the image point is that there is a feeling of a father looking at his son.

Bong Joon-ho coughed a few times, and was ready to patiently explain to Lin Xiao the current actor's acting faction to help Lin Xiao open his horizons, Bong Joon-ho lit a cigarette and began to explain to Lin Xiao: "The current acting schools are collectively referred to as the following three factions: "Experience", "Method", and "Expression".

First, the "experiential" requirement for performance is to start from the self and live in the situation of the character.

Second, the "method school" is inherited from the experiential school, but there is one significant difference, that is, the method school allows the actor to replace the person with whom the exchange is communicated, while the experience school does not. For example, an actor plays a homosexual, playing that he falls in love with a man. The method school allows the straight male actor to imagine the opponent substitution as a woman, while the experience school does not allow it. Experientialism demands that you must find the part of your love in this same-sex person.

Third, "expressionism" does not emphasize starting from the self, but emphasizes the construction of a "character image" in the heart, emphasizing imitation. At the same time, Expressionism does not advocate subconscious living in situations, but emphasizes grasping and designing. ”

After introducing the three ways of acting, Bong Joon-ho couldn't help but say: "Method is not pure enough for you, but Expressionism requires a lot of textbook knowledge." The best place for you to go is the 'experiential school' that I mistakenly thought you would take. As far as your audition today is concerned, the way you perform is to rudely put the dark side of your heart in the character world, that is, start from yourself and become a character!"

Lin Xiao digested a little slowly, but he still slowly sorted out a clue, but he felt that the more he sorted out, the more questions he had, and finally he couldn't help asking:

"Isn't there a contradiction between "starting from the self" and "becoming a character"? If I can guarantee myself in the world of the character?"

Bong Joon-ho knew that Lin Xiao would ask this, and he was not surprised, so he replied directly: "For example, if a young man plays an old man, the experiential method is not to imitate the old man, but to let himself believe that the situation of the old man happened to him, such as believing that he has bad joints, glasses can't see clearly, and his ears can't hear clearly...... It's still me, it's just that the situation has changed. Therefore, the experiential doctrine of "starting from the self to become a role" does not mean "starting from the self and then becoming a role", but refers to "starting from the self to become a role", and "starting from the self" is the basis of "becoming a role", and it cannot be understood as two separate processes. You digest it first, don't worry, it is estimated that Luo Hongzhen is bargaining with the director because of your contract. ”

Bong Joon-ho's words exploded in Lin Xiao's ears, and this was the first time he felt that he had despised the profession of an actor! Bong Joon-ho's decades of personal experience seemed to have penetrated the second vein of Lin Xiao's acting skills. But the more he understood, the more Lin Xiao felt that he was worse and less confident in his recent polishing of his acting skills.

Lin Xiao suddenly asked a little unconfidently because of his true colors just now: "Isn't 'starting from oneself' just a true character performance?

"No, starting from the self is the hardest. First of all, it is required to expose the character that you may not want to be known. For example, the experience of sending a straight man to play homosexuality, he can't disguise himself as someone else to imitate, but can only show even a little bit of his affection for men in his heart to the character, and really use his gay side to show people. Secondly, it requires believing in the situation, such as believing a fake gun as a real death threat, and requiring a subconscious reaction in the situation, rather than a well-designed performance, which is much more difficult than design. In the end, a lot of homework has to be done to flesh out the character's situation, to make a fictional situation as full as life, and the amount of content that needs to be filled in is quite staggering. That's why you kid scared us so much, if you hadn't been able to find out the details, we would have thought that you were really a murderer, hahaha!" Luo Hongzhen laughed and looked at Lin Xiao, who was introduced by him little by little, and continued to induce with all his might.

"So does "starting from oneself" mean that an actor can only create a character with one character?

Because of this problem, there are too many talented actors who can't get out of the role they create and are overshadowed, and even commit suicide due to depression.

This time, it was Bong Junhao's turn to be silent for a long time, and said very seriously: "Boy, listen well, if you are an idiot to the point of falling into a role in the future, I promise to wake you up with a big mouth." Remember that the human personality is multifaceted and is a large collection, and the playwright's character cannot be as rich in character as a living person, so it is a small collection. A large set can trap many different small sets, and an actor can perform in his true colors for a lifetime, and he has played many different roles. Therefore, the process of giving birth to characters from the self is subtraction—removing the parts of the large set of self that do not conform to the small set of roles, and trying to make the two sets coincide, that is, the self and the role, rather than doing addition, adding something that does not belong to itself. For example, people in life may be the same in front of their colleagues and their families, but they do not add personalities that do not belong to them or imitate anyone, but only hide part of their personality in different situations. First, expand the large set of self, that is, to dig out one's own hidden character and liberate one's unliberated nature; second, if the self is too far away from the role, then don't play that role, and make steak with chicken is a show of skill, not a delicacy. You kid may have a murderer or an angel in his heart, but they are all you, and you are not just them! Remember, the path you take is the most difficult path to take, and you actors like you are acting with your soul than those actors who only know how to express sadness with tears in front of the camera. So in general, the experiential school is the most difficult of the three schools, and it also needs the most talent: the gift of emancipating oneself, the gift of believing in the situation. You kid is the most gifted I've ever seen on the path to godhood. ”

"Of course, becoming a god is not to make you commit suicide, but to pick up the Oscar statuette as an Asian, not to participate, but to conquer !!"

Lin Xiao was infected by the domineering of Bong Junhao's last sentence, he was silent for a long time, and he finished smoking a box of cigarettes, and finally figured out what experiential acting skills are, that is: "Lao Tzu has more experience than anyone else, why can't he "act in his true colors", as Bong Junhao said, Lao Tzu has lived two lives and has never seen anything, what has he not experienced?

Bong Junhao watched the fog in Lin Xiao's eyes gradually dissipate, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart arose, and when he was proud, he suddenly saw Lin Xiao standing up very respectfully, bowing ninety degrees and saying:

"Teacher, please advise me in the future!"

Bong Jun-ho looked at Lin Xiao, who was pulled on the road to experience becoming a god, and laughed, smiling very comfortably!

"You kid can, I'll snatch my teacher away if I don't see him for a while!" Luo Hongzhen happened to hold a stack of contracts, and saw that the strict teacher actually accepted Lin Xiao as a student, which is different from the students he taught in the film academy, it is conceivable that with Bong Junhao's connections, Lin Xiao may have to pick a movie in the future.....

"Director Luo!" Lin Xiao just shouted, but was interrupted by Luo Hongzhen: "What else is Director Luo, call Senior Brother !!?"

"Senior brother!"

"Hey, haha! I'll sign here for you, it's changed from before, the company takes 30 percent, and it's the same as the original, this 30 percent includes all expenses! The contract is five years!" Luo Hongzhen said with a smile.

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly warmed, and he remembered that Luo Hongzhen was bargaining with the director that the teacher said just now, and said "thank you".

"Lin Xiao doesn't need to say thank you to your senior brother for this kind of thing! Hongzhen, the producer of "The Chaser", I agreed, but there is a word first, I am only responsible for this kid's acting skills, I will scold if I don't act well, and scold until you feel satisfied, and don't care about anything else!" Bong Junhao is an introductory gift to Lin Xiao.

"Really teacher, you agreed!" Luo Hongzhen remembered that he had always wanted to invite the teacher to be the producer, not because he wanted Bong Joon-ho to really help him make a movie, but because the social status quo reflected in this "Chaser" was too sharp, and he wanted Bong Joon-ho to take the lead.

But Bong Joon-ho can't ignore that this "Chaser" is Luo Hongzhen's ambitious work, once he joins the group and labels him, his qualifications as a director's apprentice will be looked down upon. It's just that now there is one more Lin Xiao's acting factor, and he is no longer refusing, after all, the apprentice is not afraid of what others say, what is he afraid of as a master.

"You kid ask for a lot of blessings!" Luo Hongzhen said ill-intentioned as he looked at Lin Xiao, who was signing.

The flattered Lin Xiao never dreamed that such an elegant teacher would actually look like a tyrant on the set.....
