"Su Mo, in fact, your performance can be more. Obviously. Yang Yang thought for a long time before he came up with such a word.

This is what the teacher in Nortel's acting class taught, the most important thing about being an actor is not that you feel like the character in the play, but that you want the audience to feel like it.

Some emotions are not good enough to feel by yourself, you have to learn how to express them so that the audience can also see them.

This is the so-called "form of performance".

The role of Shen Jiayi doesn't actually need Su Mo's good acting skills, she just needs to be natural and be the most ordinary self.

However, Su Mo has a weak personality, has the quiet temperament of a ballet dancer, and is emotionally restrained, so she can't feel it.

What Yang Yang has to do now is to channel her emotions out so that the audience can see it, and it's OK.

"It's not difficult to perform a good scene, as long as the expressions, movements and eyes are in place. Yang Yang explained: "You are now facing a poor student, who has bad grades, but looks down on you with super good grades." This kind of psychology is the self-esteem and inferiority complex that poor students often have in front of top students, and he can't do it to the same extent as others, so he can only express his disdain by escaping. You are grateful for his righteousness and bravery, but you are angry at his childish behavior, and you feel wronged."

Yang Yang's expression was serious, and he carefully analyzed Shen Jiayi's psychology for Su Mo, and said it quite well.

Su Mo pondered for a while and said, "Then I'll do it again." ”

Much better this time.

"The tone fluctuates a little more, let's try again. ”

...

Yang Yang used a few hours in the evening to teach Su Mo over and over again every day, and the entire script had to be repeated. Although both of them are very tired, men and women in love, as long as they stay together, they find it interesting to do anything.

As the days passed, the preparatory work for "Those Years" proceeded in an orderly manner.

The roles of Xu Bochun and Liao Yinghong were also chosen, and Yang Yang had seen them, and they were two juniors in the acting department next door.

Xu Bochun is a white-faced boy with black-framed glasses, his skin is not very good, and he has a bit of a lewd temperament when he laughs; Liao Yinghong is black and short, with an active temperament, and it is said that he is also a member of the drama club, and the image and temperament of the two are quite consistent.

At the same time, the box office results of the release of "The Assassin King" have basically come out, which is similar to what Yang Yang expected.

It was released for two weeks and was forced to go offline. The total box office in the first two weeks of release barely reached 160 million.

160 million, which sounds like a lot?

Take Zhang Bai's first two movies as a comparison, the total box office of "July and Ansheng" is 850 million, and the release time reaches one month; "Hypnosis Master" is slightly worse, after all, it is a small-budget movie, but the box office is nearly 500 million, and the release time is 23 days.

On the other hand, "The King of Thorns", with a total investment of nearly 100 million, only stayed in the theater for two weeks, and it was the Spring Festival stalls that were picked when blockbusters from all walks of life gathered.

The film itself is not pleasing, the audience is not interested, the general attendance rate is less than sixty percent, and it can get 160 million or the starring star lineup is too strong, and the breakthrough image of Yang Yang's women's clothing is eye-catching as a gimmick.

A blockbuster with a total investment of 100 million, just like that, the box office, the director is still Zhang Bai, do you say that you don't hit the street? It's like hitting your grandma's house.

Two days ago, Film and Television Weekly and Entertainment Weekly also specially reported the news, with a very bluffing headline - "The big production started but ended with a dismal box office, is it the director's dereliction of duty or the problem of actor selection?"

Yang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, this reporter can, and scolded Zhang Bai and himself in one sentence.

However, the only good news is that although the box office of "The Thorn King" is dismal, online netizens still have a high evaluation of this movie.

"The investment of 100 million yuan can indeed be called well-made, whether it is the costumes of the actors or the layout of the scenes, they are very delicate and in place, and all kinds of small details are also handled very well, which can be regarded as a work of conscience. ”

"I was a little hesitant when I saw the list of leading actors, Yang Yang, Chen Yuan, Qin Feifei... Shouldn't it be another bad movie that sells face to make money? But then I still bought a ticket, one is because the white gold-lettered signboard is there, and the other is because... There is Yang Yang in this play! Just at Yang Yang's face, no matter how bad this play is, I will admit it! The result is a little beyond my expectations, and the acting skills of all the handsome guys and beauties are very careful. Especially Yang Yang, thank God for finally letting Yang Yang have acting skills worthy of his beauty. ”

"The old-fashioned revenge of the country, but fortunately, the depth of the film is enough, and it has a different connotation. In particular, Yang Yang's women's clothing image really amazed me, and her acting skills are finally no longer simply handsome. ”

"It's actually pretty good, but it's not suitable for the cinema. If I watched this movie alone in front of the computer on a rainy afternoon with coffee, I would give it a four-star or five-star rating, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would still watch it with my parents... Two stars couldn't be more. ”

"Just four words, Yang Yang praised!"

"Seeing Zhang Bai's literary soul explode again, he went farther and farther on the road to death. ”

...

Yang Yang agreed with him and liked the last comment that complained about Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai is indeed uncomfortable not to die, and it is clear that there is only one dead word to write on the big screen with such a film with a heavy theme in the Chinese New Year file, and he still doesn't care about it, and I don't know how he persuaded the distributor.

Yang Yang also made a special call to Zhang Bai, but he didn't seem to care much, or was he already "downplayed about life and death" in the second week of the release of "The Thorn King"?

Zhang Bai replied to him nonchalantly: "Didn't you still earn tens of millions, it's good to make money, whatever they say." ”

Yang Yang was a little speechless, how much fraction can be left after deducting the post-publicity expenses, and there is still money to make?

However, he soon figured out that Zhang Bai should be rushing to win awards at home and abroad when he made the movie "The Thorn King". As for the box office, it will hit the street.

Yang Yang no longer cares about this matter and concentrates on his movies.

On this day, when Yang Yang was discussing some issues with Wang Buer about the script and filming, Yan Xiude called him and said that he had something to tell him.

Yang Yang's face was a little complicated, and he could probably guess what Yan Xiude was going to say to him.

Yaguang's contract is about to expire, Yan Xiude will no longer be his agent, and Yang Yang needs to find another agent.
