Chapter 275: Rank 9 Performer
On the other hand, Gu Xiaofan turned his head to Wang Zhiwen, the Chinese opera tutor who came to visit the class, and found that he exuded a sense of oppression, which was even more terrifying. [No pop-up novel network]
Grade 9 Performance Master...... With the two characteristics of "loneliness" and "coldness", although he is obviously smiling politely, you have a creepy feeling.
Does everyone else just think he's very kind? But there is obviously a yin in him, and the cold-blooded in his bones makes everyone desperate......
Gu Xiaofan has watched Wang Zhiwen's performance in "Black Ice", but from the camera, it is two different concepts from facing him as a real person, which is like the feeling that an axe of the camera is cutting you over, and it is completely different from the panic of an axe in reality.
Gu Xiaofan has a feeling that Wang Zhiwen was unfortunately born in China and did not meet a role suitable for him, if he is an American actor and can get a script like "The Silence of the Lambs" or "Chainsaw", then his achievements will far exceed people's imagination......
It is undoubtedly the greatest sorrow that the top performers have not met a role where they can bring out all their talents.
Under everyone's gaze, after Gu Xiaofan shook hands with Deng Cao, they walked to Huang Lei and Wang Zhiwen respectively, and the two said one sentence in unison:
"Teacher Wang (Huang), can you help me match the lines?"
Huang Lei and Wang Zhiwen were both stunned, and both showed intriguing smiles on their faces.
The younger generation of actors challenged the old actors like them, and these two were really young and vigorous.
Gu Xiaofan and Wang Zhiwen, Deng Cao and Huang Lei, two pairs of people sat in the same corner, and the onlookers watched from a distance outside the isolation line, all wanting to see what they looked like about their lines.
"Wow Ka Ka, Wang Zhiwen is playing Gu Xiaofan, I don't know who can win."
"Fool...... Of course, Wang Zhi heard it...... His acting skills have reached the pinnacle. ”
"I don't think so, when I watched Gu Xiaofan play the 'sick ghost' before, I didn't fall behind, and the old actors may not be able to do more~"
Under the distant gaze of many onlookers, Gu Xiaofan sat down and respectfully handed the draft of Cheng Dongqing's speech on "failure" to Wang Zhiwen, and asked:
"Teacher Wang, please help me see this paragraph."
This was the first time he had faced a ninth-level performance master, and although Gu Xiaofan was inevitably apprehensive in his heart, he also wanted to know how to feel the strength of a ninth-level performer face-to-face.
This performance is what he is most confused about, and it is also a turning point in the expression of Cheng Dongqing in the play, before that, he suppressed his emotions and followed the rhythm of Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang, and this scene was the first scene in which he knocked down Meng Xiaojun from the heart.
How can a humble character compete with a confident character?
"You think first." Wang Zhiwen looked at the character profile, and the outline of the script for this paragraph, and looked up and smiled.
Gu Xiaofan nodded, took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes for a while, when he opened his eyes again, the whole person's emotions were restrained, the sense of humility of the little person was instantly revealed, the slightly curled up posture, and the natural inferiority complex in the eyes of the people were completely different from before.
This made Wang Zhiwen's pupils widen slightly, revealing an appreciative look, it is really rare for an actor to enter the play at such a young age......
"Students~ I have never had any dreams, I don't know what dreams are, I only know what failure is, I can't say anything else, I don't even have to type a draft...... Chinese students are the most likely to fail in the world because you are facing the most brutal exams in the world......"
Gu Xiaofan was engrossed, and after reading this long line with great momentum, Wang Zhiwen shook his head: "It's almost meaningful." ”
"Yes." Gu Xiaofan is also very self-aware:
"I can capture the humility of Cheng Dongqing's student days in front of me, but after he became a teacher, I couldn't catch the incitement of the students in the face of ......"
This is a huge problem in the original movie, the plot in the original version describes that Cheng Dongqing's teaching has a huge charm, attracting countless students to listen to the class, but in fact, the character of Cheng Dongqing under the performance of the original actor seems very stiff, and there is no incitement described in the script at all.
The original director relied on repeatedly focusing the camera on the expressions of the students listening to the lecture to balance the actor's slightly weak expressiveness, but this completely weakened Cheng Dongqing's performance.
Wang Zhiwen looked at Gu Xiaofan carefully, looked directly into his eyes and said: "Your problem is that you have been tense, you have been speaking lines, but there is no pause, you have just been relying on your lines, your body is supporting the performance, you rely too much on these external things." ”
"Pause? Pausing can break coherence. Gu Xiaofan was a little puzzled.
Gu Xiaofan usually likes the kind of performance that is like a river, showing his teeth and dancing claws, because he can give full play to his expressiveness, just like Zeng Xiaoxian's large line performance in "Love Apartment", and he feels a huge sense of accomplishment every time he completes it.
And the pause...... As an actor, Gu Xiaofan knows that the pause is a very terrifying moment.
When a scene is going on, there is a silent space all of a sudden, and he will be a little scared, because he will be worried about his dialogue, and during this quiet time, he will think crankily about what he should do and who he should watch......
To put it simply, the pause causes him to "go out of play", which is the last thing he wants to face.
"Why don't you show me this?" Gu Xiaofan suddenly showed a provocative look and said to Wang Zhiwen.
Good boy, you want to test me.
Wang Zhiwen glanced at him with a smile, stood up, looked at the sky with his eyes for a while, and when he looked up at Gu Xiaofan, the whole thing became "Cheng Dongqing", he just listened to it once, and recited Gu Xiaofan's lines: "Classmates, I have never had any dreams, I don't know what dreams are, I only know what failure is, I can't say anything else, I don't even have to ...... drafts when I say failure."
The tone and rhythm in front of him were exactly the same as Gu Xiaofan's, but here he suddenly stopped!
When he stopped here, everyone around felt that time and space seemed to pause, and everyone unconsciously looked into Wang Zhiwen's eyes, and they could clearly feel that this person had experienced failure, and they imagined the pain he had experienced in their minds.
All the painful memories of myself seem to spring up from my heart.
At that moment, Gu Xiaofan felt the gap between his acting skills and Wang Zhiwen.
The same lines, the same role, when Wang Zhiwen played it, he was like a student in the play, and he was directly conquered by him.
When he first acted, he was alone in "entering the play" to create a real role.
But when Wang Zhiwen acted, he led a group of people to "enter the play", he not only turned the virtual world in his mind into his own "reality", but also this virtual world became the "reality" in front of everyone's eyes, what a terrifying expressiveness
