Chapter 29: Bottlenecks

In the days when there was no filming, Wang Dalun's life did not change much. Reading books and reading English every day, the teacher Zhang Lu is quite reliable, and when he came to class for the second time, he brought him a tape synchronized with the textbook. There was no label on the tape, and when I listened to it again, she actually recorded it herself based on the textbook.

After two years of college, the owner of the original body did not work too hard in the first year and a half, so Wang Dalun re-read the textbooks of the two years and borrowed a lot of undergraduate textbooks from Liu Ling. Thanks to his perverted memory ability after rebirth, he learns very quickly, and he can memorize words easily, which often surprises Teacher Zhang Lu.

Film schools sometimes give lectures or something, and he will listen to them whenever he has time. Then take your resume and go to run the crew, Beijing Film Studio and Huairou Film and Television Base are all places where the crew gathers. He is also a professional actor from a professional class, tall and with a good image, the key is that he doesn't pick a scene yet, whether he has lines or not, or a trick or two shots, he will play any scene.

As the saying goes, the fist does not leave the hand, Wang Dalun is here to practice, not to mention the money to get, fifty hundred, and the highest salary of five hundred yuan. But sometimes he will make the director very painful, you just run the trick, why do you have to act so hard, you are acting like that, what do you still want to do with the protagonist?

Peter Chen was very efficient, and within a few days, he invited him to their group's office in Beijing, officially signed an endorsement contract, accurately measured the size of his body, and prepared to customize a photo costume for him. When it was over, Peter Chen solemnly reminded him that he must keep in shape, so as not to make clothes that do not fit properly.

So Wang Dalun added another morning exercise to his life. I get up at 6 o'clock every morning, put on headphones and listen to the English textbook recorded by Mr. Zhang Lu for him, and the end of the A side of the tape is almost five kilometers. Change to side B and go to a nearby vegetable market to buy some food, and then take the bus home, so that you can listen to the textbook from beginning to end every morning.

Liu Ling often comes over to eat, sometimes making a phone call in advance, but many times she doesn't even come to say hello, and she goes directly to the door when the meal arrives.

Once Wang Dalun asked her curiously: "I am sometimes not at home, haven't you ever eaten closed-door soup?"

"Nope. Liu Ling shook her head while eating, "You are at home every time I come over, and the dishes are good." ”

Wang Dalun listened to the special egg pain, sometimes thinking that this girl is very pitiful, she can't cook, and she usually eats outside or makes instant noodles. But after thinking about it again, she is a poor fart! Obviously, she has a family and parents, but she still has to come out to rent a house to live alone, and the so-called freedom she pursues is completely self-inflicted, and she does not deserve sympathy at all.

Occasionally, he would get together with Lao Jia and Gu Zheng, who were anxiously awaiting the results of the Hong Kong Independent Short Film and Video Competition. Eating with them, talking about nothing more than movies and their cinematic ideals. Sometimes Wang Dalun will feel that they have seen through the essence of Chinese films, they are very sober, but more often they will feel that they are a little ambitious. But he is sure of one thing in his heart, that is, Lao Jia will definitely succeed.

Sure enough, one day in mid-December, the phone at home rang, Wang Dalun picked up the phone, and heard Lao Jia's excited voice on the phone: "Won the award, won the award." "Little Mountain Comes Home" won the Gold Award, and the Gold Award for Feature Film ......"

Wang Dalun is very happy for Lao Jia and feels that his efforts have finally been rewarded. He specially booked a table at the most upscale hotel at the entrance of the film academy to celebrate Lao Jia and them. Anyway, now he is a rich man in front of those poor people.

Everyone came, but Wang Hongwei was missing, and Wang Dalun suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Wang Hongwei for a long time. Strictly speaking, these friends in front of me were all introduced by Wang Hongwei.

"Where's our male lead?" asked Wang Dalun.

Lao Jia shook his head with a wry smile, and Gu Zhengze said hatefully: "Don't mention it, I'm still lying on the bed now." ”

When I asked the reason, Wang Dalun found out that Wang Hongwei was going through what he also experienced last year. Wang Hongwei was also a self-financed student, and because of the unclear hukou problem, he could not find a satisfactory job in the capital. Our male protagonist became more and more depressed, and basically got up at 6 p.m. every day, and then lay on it half-asleep and half-awake to read Tarkovsky's magnum opus "Carving Time", because Tarkovsky was the subject of his graduation thesis. He faced the Russian feelings and the Orthodox spirit of redemption that were staring at him for hours until about eleven o'clock, and then he went to play mahjong with a few classmates who were just as frustrated as him until the early hours of the morning......

Gu Zheng said hatefully that Wang Hongwei was like this every day, and he hadn't seen the sun for almost a month.

Wang Dalun sighed and decided to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Wang Hongwei, although Lao Jia and Gu Zheng had talked to him several times, but it was useless. But he still had to talk and fulfill the obligation of a friend. He wants to tell Wang Hongwei what he felt at the beginning, and as for how to judge, he can only rely on Wang Hongwei to choose.

……

The smoke cleared, the ground was littered with craters, the wood was still burning, and the performers were lying on the ground in the uniforms of the opposing sides pretending to be dead. Wang Dalun was covered in mud, his military uniform was tattered, his face was covered with black smoke marks, he held a white flag in his hand, trembling all the way, he was hunched over, his eyes were constantly looking around, his face was full of panic.

"Taijun, our battalion commander said that as long as the imperial army lets us live, we are willing to cooperate with the imperial army......"

"Cards!"

As soon as the director shouted the card, Wang Dalun knew that the problem must be his own, and he felt very awkward when he said this line just now.

Sure enough, the director sat there with a megaphone and shouted: "Who is that ......"

The assistant director reminded him next to him.

"Wang Dalun, the feeling that you are afraid of death is coming out, but the feeling of groveling is not, you must grovel. ”

"Got it. Sorry, director, again. ”

“action!”

"Taijun, our battalion commander said that as long as the imperial army lets us go......"

"Ka! still not right, remember you have to grovel, no bones, flattery, you know?"

"I'm sorry, Director. ”

"Do it all over again. ”

"Taijun ......"

"Card, Wang Dalun, what's the matter with you?

is such a simple shot, two lines, and I don't know why Wang Dalun can't play that kind of groveling feeling. After seven or eight cards in a row, the director would have been impatient for a long time, if he hadn't taken care of the assistant director's face, he would have scolded him a long time ago.

Wang Dalun can only keep saying sorry to the director, sorry to the actors who play the opposite role, and sorry to the group speeches who are working hard to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Every time he secretly told Sù that he must act well, but he couldn't act well every time.

"Taijun, our battalion commander said that as long as the imperial army lets us live, we are willing to cooperate with the imperial army to deal with the Eighth Route together. ”

The director finally didn't call the card, and Wang Dalun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese officer on the other side nodded and said, "Yo Xi! As long as you obediently cooperate with the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will not treat you badly." ”

"Hey!" Wang Dalun hurriedly stood up and bowed, and learned a Japanese-style move very clumsily.

"Over!"

The director frowned, except for the fact that he still didn't play the strength of groveling, everything else was very good, and he could only be so-so.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry to cause you trouble. Wang Dalun lit a cigarette for the assistant director and said embarrassedly.

Wang Dalun was introduced to this crew by a friend of the last crew in Tongguò, and he specially greeted the assistant director, who also graduated from the film school, and can be regarded as Wang Dalun's senior brother.

"It's okay, the director has shouted. The assistant director took a puff of his cigarette, squinted at Wang Dalun, and said strangely: "This scene just now is not difficult, why can't you act well." Actually, I watched it just now, except for groveling, everything else is perfect, I don't understand how you can't play well?"

The assistant director has heard some things about Wang Dalun, and knows that he has acted in Zhang Yuan's movies and Zhou Chong in "Thunderstorm", so it stands to reason that Wang Dalun should not make such a low-level mistake.

Wang Dalun scratched his scalp and said depressedly: "I don't know what's wrong, I just can't find this feeling, and the more I act, the more awkward I feel." To be honest, the director just let me go, and even I was not satisfied. If it weren't for the fear of delaying the filming process, I would have liked to do two more. ”

The assistant director smiled: "You just have such a shot, just forget about it." I think you either play too many positive roles, or you don't have the strength to grovel in your bones. ”

The assistant director went to work after smoking, and the scene was still filming. Wang Dalun's scene was filmed, and he could check out and leave, but he still sat in the same place, thinking about why he couldn't play a seemingly very simple role, but he was just a traitor, afraid of death, groveling is his most obvious characteristic. Maybe the assistant director is right, he doesn't grovel in his bones, so he can't act well.

But here's the problem, as long as you don't have it, as long as you haven't experienced it, you can't act well, which is a terrible thing, which will mean that your acting path will be very narrow. Why is this happening? To put it bluntly, there is a relationship between experientialism and methodology. Wang Dalun is a typical experiential school, he is very unfamiliar with the method school, or he rejects it in his heart, and thinks it is not real, so this situation occurs. He feels that he is facing the first bottleneck now, and this bottleneck has existed since he tried hard to play Zhou Chong and often failed, but he has not attracted his attention.

A cold wind blew, Wang Dalun suddenly felt very cold, and then realized that he had been sitting here for a long time, still wearing that tattered military uniform, his hands and feet were cold, and he was covered in goosebumps, and he was going to catch a cold if he didn't get it right. He hurriedly got up, ran to the temporary crew station, washed his face, changed into his down jacket, and finally warmed up.

The BP machine in the pocket of the down jacket vibrated for a while, he took it out and pressed it, and a message popped up, "I'm here, you're not at home, I'm waiting at the store downstairs." Zhang Lu"

Sleepy, Wang Dalun suddenly remembered that it was Saturday, and the afternoon should be the time to learn English. Looking at it again, the time that Zhang Lu sent it was just after one o'clock, and now it's almost two o'clock.

Wang Dalun didn't know if Zhang Lu was still waiting in the commissary downstairs, but he knew that he was still on the set, and it would take at least two hours to rush back, and it would definitely be impossible to go to class in the afternoon.

There is no phone in this wilderness, so Wang Dalun can only cheekily ask the producer who stayed at the crew station to borrow a mobile phone to make a call.

"Hey, is it Brother Zhang? Brother Zhang, I'm Wang Dalun, hey, Brother Zhang, do you have a girl waiting here? Okay, Brother Zhang, please let her answer the phone. Hey, Brother Zhang, I'm in trouble, thank you!"

Zhang Lu is still waiting in the commissary, it's been an hour, Wang Dalun is very upset, when Zhang Lu's voice came from the phone, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! Teacher Zhang Lu, I was filming today, and I forgot about the class when I was busy, and I am still on the set now, and I will definitely not be able to come back in the afternoon." Teacher Zhang Lu, you don't have to go to today's class. But let's calculate the cost, it's just to trouble you to run for nothing, and wait outside for so long, I'm really sorry. ”xh:.74.240.212
