The circle of bars in Sanlitun is particularly obvious, and different bars have their own crowds and cultures. People of any age, any hobby and any level can find their own circle here.

For example, the hidden tree is a paradise for foreign tourists, and the mustard shop is the base camp of local angry youth. Mingda is unique in South Street, bringing together Chinese and Western white-collar workers here with a high amount of flowing water. Ireland is the place to be for weekend getaways, and many girls are looking for opportunities here.

Zhang Ran originally planned to take Xie Tingfeng and them to the bar opened by Wang Shuo, and the name was "Wang Bar". The bar is divided into two floors, the upper floor Wang Shuo and Jiang Wen and they talk about Zhuangzi and Lao Tzu and other tall topics, called the superstructure, and the lower floor is a place to drink, and the checkout is on the lower floor, called the economic base.

However, considering that Wang Bar is a place for literary and artistic young people to talk about their ideals, it is not appropriate to take Xie Tingfeng to them. In the end, Zhang Ran took them to Haojue Bar, which often haunts little stars and small models.

The five of them sat at a table, looking at the swaying figures on the dance floor, each with different expressions. Zhang Jingchu should rarely come to this kind of place, and she doesn't seem to be very comfortable; Zhang Ran, Nicholas Tse, and Yu Wenle are relatively calm and calm; although Cheng Guanxi is here for the first time, he seems to be very familiar, as if he has arrived at his territory, and the whole person is full of vitality.

Edison Cheng took a few bottles of beer, and one of them handed out a bottle in his hand: "Everyone is going to drink happily today!" After speaking, he took a big sip.

Zhang Ran and the three men were naturally not to be outdone, and they all raised their bottles and drank them. Zhang Jingchu was a girl, and no one forced her, so she stopped at a shallow taste.

After Cheng Guanxi took a few sips, he invited Zhang Jingchu to dance. Zhang Jingchu refused with a smile, saying that she had been standing in the restaurant for a day and didn't want to dance, so she wanted to sit for a while.

Cheng Guanxi didn't say more, as the king of nightclubs, are you afraid that you won't find a beautiful woman when you go to the bar?

looked at Edison Cheng, who was dashing on the dance floor, and then at Nicholas Tse, who was sitting and drinking, Zhang Ran asked, "Tingfeng, why don't you go dancing?"

Nicholas Tse said: "I'm good to drink, I'm different from them, I don't like to talk to strangers very much!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, then smiled. At noon, when Nicholas Tse and Zhang Jingchu were playing, he clicked on Nicholas Tse's question. Now that it's okay, you can discuss: "I'm a little bit too, so let's talk while drinking." I want to ask you a question, do you get nervous when you sing on stage?"

Xie Tingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, now every time I go on stage, my feet are still shaking!"

Zhang Ran asked again: "It's the same when you're acting?"

Nicholas Tse explained: "I am also nervous when acting, but I am not as nervous as when I sing on stage, and there are too many audiences when I sing, which is very easy to make people feel nervous. ”

Zhang Ran somewhat understood: "Then how did you overcome your nervousness when acting? You told yourself that you must act well, and you must do it, right?"

Nicholas Tse was a little surprised: "Yes, how do you know?"

Zhang Ran thought to himself, when you act, you often have the expression of "Lao Tzu is very good at acting", which is too obvious. He smiled and said, "My teacher once told me that when she was young, she starred in a play that was going to premiere on Broadway. You've spent time in the U.S. and should understand what Broadway means to actors. She was so nervous that she told herself that the show didn't matter at all, that the audience below was idiots, and she overcame her nervousness. Guess how she performed that day?"

Nicholas Xie didn't think about it, and replied: "It must be a great success!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "The next day, she felt that she might as well stay at home, because the evaluation she got was terrible." Any idea why this is happening?"

Xie Tingfeng was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Zhang Ran explained: "Because when she thinks that the audience is stupid, she is not focused enough on her performance, and the effect of the performance is naturally not good enough." My teacher told me that nervousness is something that cannot be overcome, and that it will get worse with experience and age. For actors, they should not think about how to control their nervousness, they should focus, reduce distractions, don't think about things in reality, forget who you are, forget yourself, and really devote yourself to the role, so as to reduce the damage caused by tension. ”

Nicholas Xie pondered for a few seconds, first nodded, but quickly shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid it's really difficult to do it, it's too difficult." ”

"It's hard, but as an actor you have to do it. In fact, your problem is not only nervousness, but also the psychological baggage. Speaking of this, Zhang Ran pointed to Cheng Guanxi who was dashing on the dance floor, "In this way, you should learn from Cheng Guanxi, his acting skills can't be compared with you, but he has a big advantage, he is very relaxed in acting!"

Nicholas Tse smiled and shook his head, he is completely different from Edison Cheng, Edison Cheng is a rich second generation, acting is to play tickets, there is not so much pressure at all, and he has too many things on his back. He looked up at Zhang Ran and asked, "You are an acting teacher, is there any good way?"

Zhang Ran is not an immortal, it is impossible to make Xie Tingfeng put down the burden in his heart in two sentences, and muttered: "If you can, I suggest you learn yoga, or read Buddhist scriptures, which may be able to calm your heart!"

Hearing this, Nicholas Tse's expression became a little strange, and he said, "She believes in Buddhism", and then asked, "Does this really work?"

Zhang Ran has not had much contact with Nicholas Tse, and he is not sure about Nicholas Tse's psychological condition: "I can't guarantee it, but I think it should be possible, you were very relaxed when you played "Half a Cigarette", you were able to do it at the time, and there is no reason why you can't do it now." ”

Nicholas Tse thought for a while and said, "At that time, I didn't think too much about it, I just played with tickets when I made movies, and I didn't think about anything." ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "This is the key, you didn't have a heart to lose in filming at that time, and now you think too much about things." What you have to do now is let go of gains and losses and clear your minds. But it's hard, some things don't just say you can put it down, and if you can do that, then your performance will make a qualitative leap. ”

Seeing Zhang Ran chatting with Nicholas Tse hotly, Zhang Jingchu was a little uncomfortable, this beauty of herself sat next to her, didn't talk to me, and told Nicholas Tse non-stop, am I so unattractive?

It didn't take long for Edison Cheng and Yu Wenle to get tired of dancing, and came over with two women with heavy makeup and skirts as short as the thighs. Zhang Ran didn't have any opinion on their skirts, but the powder on their faces was unbearable, it was estimated that there was a centimeter, and they could grow flowers with a little makeup.

The two girls were very excited to see Nicholas Tse, but when they heard that Zhang Ran was the director, they were even more excited, and directly squeezed Zhang Jingchu away. sat beside Zhang Ran one left and one right, wrapped his arms around his waist, and grabbed Zhang Ran's arms to chat with him.

They graduated from art school, and they usually hang out in bars, hoping to meet directors and fight for opportunities. It's rare to meet one now, and naturally it's all kinds of please.

Edison Cheng was very depressed, why did the girl I soaked here run away to Zhang Ran's side? Damn, I will also be a director in the future! He saw Zhang Jingchu sitting on the side drinking quietly, and invited her to dance again. Zhang Jing didn't pay attention to it at first, stood up, looked at Zhang Ran who was laughing with the two girls, and said, "Director, I'll go back!"

Zhang Ran looked at the time, it was not yet eight o'clock, and said, "Jingchu, it's still early, let's sit down for a while!"

Zhang Jingchu shook her head and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable and want to go back." ”

Hearing that Zhang Jingchu was uncomfortable and asked her to go back by herself, Zhang Ran was not very relieved, stood up and said: "It's a big night, you live far away, I'll send you!"

Coming out of the bar, Zhang Ran kept asking Zhang Jingchu where she was uncomfortable and if she wanted to go to the hospital. Zhang Jingchu just shook her head. Waiting for the car, Zhang Jingchu said: "Director, I'm really sorry, I can't have fun for you." ”

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said: "Actually, I want to leave too, it's too much waste of time to stay in the bar, I might as well go back and draw a two-page storyboard with this effort!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said: But I see that you have a very happy chat with those two girls!"

Zhang Ran glanced at Zhang Jingchu: "Why do you say that I am like Edison Cheng, I am just a little curious about their experiences, which can be used to educate the students in our class." They are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, and they will be enlightened. ”

Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled: "Director, just now you talked about Nicholas Tse's performance problems, don't you know what problems I have in performance?"

Zhang Ran groaned: "Your performance is very good, Brother Jun praised you when you were a prisoner of time." If you want to talk about the problem, it's that acting is a bit hard, so it's necessary for you to experience life before acting. ”

When Zhang Jingchu heard Zhang Ran's evaluation of herself so high, the corners of her mouth rose.

After parking downstairs at Zhang Jingchu's house, Zhang Jingchu got out of the car and walked forward slowly. Zhang Ran looked at her footsteps and stumbled a little, and asked, "Why don't I send you up?"

"Forget it, if you want to go up, my roommate will definitely misunderstand. Zhang Jingchu smiled, turned around and walked slowly upstairs.

Zhang Ran felt that it was the same, don't add to the blockage of others: "Okay, then I'll go!" After speaking, he got in the car and left.

Zhang Jingchu looked at the car and was very depressed, in fact, I was just reserved, didn't you see me staggering, still walking so slowly?

The car didn't drive far, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was Liu Yifei's phone. As soon as he connected, Liu Yifei's voice came: "Master!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Why are you so well-behaved today, you didn't even call me Master Liar, there must be something, right?"

Liu Yifei smiled embarrassedly, and then said in a coquettish tone: "Master, try three times the day after tomorrow, you can come when the time comes, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhang Ran knew that this kid was nervous, and Nicholas Xie would be nervous when he performed on stage, not to mention the fateful exam, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see him as a teacher on the day of the third test!"

(I'm stuck, I always feel wrong when I write it!I'm sorry!)
