Chapter 931: Flying Against the Wind (6)
Cheng Xiaoyu should have more say than anyone else about the feelings of death, because most people in this world only have near-death experiences at most, but Cheng Xiaoyu is different, he has real memories of death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
And this memory is still so profound, so deep that the feeling of sinking into the dark ocean and everything is silent, sometimes it will appear in dreams, this dream brings him not despair, but absolute silence, only a beam of light floats far away, as if within reach, but he can't touch it, which makes him wake up from a dream every time, it is like being reborn.
Catherine scoffed, "It's true...... Have you experienced it?" she straightened up, avoiding too much physical contact with the ill-intentioned man.
Cheng Xiaoyu was unimpressed by Catherine's disbelieving attitude, which was just a small episode in his life that could be forgotten, and he said: "Of course what I said is true, and I have really experienced it. ”
Catherine asked suspiciously, "Is it drowning?"
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head, and then said, "No." But he didn't say why, just was silent for a long time and added: "Actually, I don't think everyone knows that the drowning process is very short, but for most actors, they choose a more convenient, fast, and intuitive way to express their struggles and pain......."
Remembering that the young director seemed to be making horror films, Catherine asked, "How do you think an actor should express his fear?" to see if the director was really as uneducated as gossip magazines and websites say.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought that Catherine's purpose was to discuss, and thought for a while and said: "To get to the point of the character and create a huge sense of disparity between strength and weakness, it can be summed up in one sentence: what.we.fear.is.fear.itself (what we are afraid of is fear itself)." Of course, this sentence is a bit vague, in fact, according to different characters' personalities, in different environments, there will be different reactions, but in movies or TV series, the actors' performances are ever-changing....... Any depiction and portrayal of emotions must be "visible"! if the audience can't see it, he can't accept it, so your performance should not only start from your own feelings, but also consider how to convey the emotion of "fear" to the audience. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu has worked hard to be a good director, and has read a lot of books on how to be a good director, and how to talk to actors is a necessary lesson for a director.
Catherine listened to Cheng Xiaoyu's back and thought for a long time about his interpretation of drowning, death and how to express fear, and felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was not at all as sloppy as it seemed on the surface, nor did she know nothing about movies as the newspaper said.
But at this time, there were already gossip websites that exposed Cheng Xiaoyu, and he had already started shooting the second movie non-stop, and the editing of his first movie had not yet been completed, and he started filming the second movie with 108,000 miles before it was released........ This behavior has been described by various media as extremely ignorant........ But Catherine now felt an extra option, or extreme confidence.
At this time, Catherine is not sure whether Cheng Xiaoyu's extreme self-confidence is a kind of arrogance, for a director, the work is the only criterion to measure the level, and he can speak well, but there are not a few directors who shoot everything that is shit.
Catherine just rolled her eyes after hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, and replied, "What you said is the same as not saying it....... It's all clichés......."
Cheng Xiaoyu also rolled her eyes, a little speechless at this troublesome girl, he is just a director, not a teacher who teaches acting classes..... The two were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, Catherine's cold skin touch and the blowing of the California evening breeze made Cheng Xiaoyu, the old driver, not too uncomfortable, but Catherine was indeed the first time to have such intimate contact with a man, and Cheng Xiaoyu's back was a little uneasy and restless......
Fortunately, the beach Catherine chose was not far from her villa, and it only took more than ten minutes for Cheng Xiaoyu to carry her from the beach to Route 66, and then crossed a marble fountain, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's here!"
Cheng Xiaoyu could see at a glance that the towering walls stretched into the boundless distance, and not far from him, there were two huge towering iron gates standing majestically, which was close to Santa Monica Beach, with spectacular sea views at a glance, and from this location, the villas here were worth a lot of money.
Remembering Catherine's words when she began to ask, "Do you really don't know her", Cheng Xiaoyu also guessed that this girl was not simple, but he didn't want to care about the identity of the girl on his back, and waited for her to ring the call bell at the door, and made sure that someone came out to pick her up, so he said, "Can you stand by yourself?"
Catherine was still thinking about how to deal with Cheng Xiaoyu, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to do anything, so she said unsurely: "It should be okay....... You ......"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't wait for Catherine to finish speaking, she put her down in a half-squat, and said lightly: "Then so be it...... Girl......"
Catherine stood against the marble pillar by the iron door, still wondering whether to say, "Thank you." But thinking that Cheng Xiaoyu proposed to ask her to film at the beginning, and sent the other party to continue to make this request.
But Cheng Xiaoyu was just joking at first, not taking it seriously, he took a few steps forward, and then turned back as if he remembered something and said, "Don't do such dangerous things in the future...... Dedication is a good thing, but I think an excellent actor should not be confined to one way of acting, whether it is method, experience or performance, he should be able to grasp it, an excellent actor should be able to switch between various performance methods in a scene, if you think you can't do it, at least you should do it, every genre has been tried. ”
After saying that, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't say goodbye, so he turned around and left, the reason why he said this was that he was moved by Catherine's professionalism, a person with such a good birth, in order to perform a role well, he is willing to risk his life to experience the role, which is worthy of his respect as a director.
Second, it can be regarded as leaving a good impression on the other party, and in case there is an opportunity to cooperate at that time, it is also a foreshadowing. But how did he know that Catherine had long thought that he had been playing this idea.
Catherine saw that Cheng Xiaoyu left so simply, and did not leave any contact information or ask for anything else, and wondered if her opinion of Cheng Xiaoyu was wrong. Just as she wanted to say "thank you" to Cheng Xiaoyu, the black door slowly opened, and she didn't say anything, she quickly withdrew her gaze staring at Cheng Xiaoyu's back and walked into the door.
It was his grandfather, Stavin Bell, who opened the door, and he was holding a bigg, two golden retrievers, and two huskies and asked, "Hey, baby, Bob told me that a boy came back with you on his back?
Catherine's strength had recovered a lot at this time, and although her body was still weak, she was still able to walk, and she pretended to be confused and said, ".....Boy? I just came back alone ........"
Stavin Bell Sword Catherine didn't want to admit it, but smiled and said, "Okay then, baby, can you explain why you're soaking wet?
Catherine said expressionlessly: "Grandpa, I want to move out and live alone, anyway, I can support myself now......"
Stavon Bell had no choice but to say, "Well, when I didn't ask anything...... Let's go back and change your clothes!
Catherine nodded, and asked as she walked forward, "Grandpa, what do you think a really good actor looks like?"
Staven Bell smiled and replied: "In my opinion, there are three levels of good actors, the first is to be able to adjust their temperament according to the requirements of the role and the script, so that they can adapt to the role ......."
Staven Bell paused for a moment and continued: "The second is that acting like anything, like your father, they are born to eat actors' meals........"
Catherine asked impatiently, "What about the last one?"
Staven Bell touched Catherine's still wet hair and said: "The highest level of the last kind of actor is not only to act well yourself, but also to inspire the performance of your peers......."
Catherine's expression relaxed, thinking that she was almost frightened by the Asian director just now, his answer was completely different from her grandfather's answer, but the correct answer was of course his grandfather's answer, and she was going to pay attention to this nosy Asian director, but now Catherine felt that it was not necessary.
The two walked on the winding cobblestone road, and Catherine asked curiously: "Isn't an actor's box office ability important to a director?"
Staven Bell laughed and said, "Of course it's important for a director who is not confident........."
Catherine thought that Cheng Xiaoyu's movie didn't seem to invite a single star, but it didn't seem to be because of lack of money................ (To be continued.) )
