Chapter 196: Scene 196 The realm of actors
"It should be said that it is all, you are not relaxed." Li Xiaole's words made Sun Honglei feel incredible, what does it mean that he is not relaxed at all?
"I know you don't believe it, then you try to relax your whole body now, keep it strong, you go and touch Sun Honglei's shoulder." Li Xiaole commanded.
"It's really hard!" Wang Baoqiang stepped forward to look at Sun Honglei, who was "relaxing all over his body", and said in surprise.
"You touch his waist again."
"It's also hard~!"
"Where's the ass?"
"Really~ it's also hard!"
Wang Baoqiang shouted heartlessly, "Hard! Sun Honglei's face became more and more ugly, and he could only take a deep breath and accept this helpless fact, although he felt that he was already very relaxed, but in the eyes of others, he was still very stiff.
People can control their limbs and facial features, but most of them can't control them, the muscles on the body, no matter how relaxed some people are, the muscle groups on the body are stiff, even when they are sleeping, that is because they have maintained a state of vigilance in their hearts for a long time, and they feel the pressure all the time.
Li Xiaole knows Sun Honglei too well, the current Sun Honglei is a fledgling, and his acting is sharp, and he is far from reaching the level of acting skills that he has done later, and the actors who have worked with him at his current stage have an evaluation of him, saying that his acting is like "playing with life".
The most classic example is a drama, there is a scene to express "an ordinary American family, when they suddenly have money one day, the husband knows that the money is obtained by his wife by selling his body", Sun Honglei spent a week simulating this emotion, until he fully integrated into this rising role, but in the rehearsal of the drama to this scene, almost fainted, but sent to the hospital for a check-up, he really got a heart attack.
In his own words, he is a special axis person, Sun Honglei acts too hard, too hard, he is a thorough "experience" actor, he can completely play his own bottle of "liquor" into Bao Shihong's bottle of "Coke", and has solid acting skills that are far higher than those of the "acting school", but even so, he can only be regarded as a first-class actor, and he is still one grade away from the top.
Sun Honglei's current state is a bit like Zou Yun-fat in the TVB period, and he still needs to be constantly honed to reach the level of free retraction, and Zou Yun-fat was also trained by several Hong Kong directors in the filming of the movie after leaving TVB, and his acting skills have really gone to a higher level.
Of course, there are also people who can't let go of their lives no matter how hard they work, for example, another famous Hong Kong actor Liu Dehua, although he has continued to improve over the years, he just can't "loosen" that kind of realm, which is why he has not been able to compare with the Liang Dynasty of the times.
"Your problem is that you have been holding back a force in your heart, when you are acting in that kind of impactful shot, your energy has a very strong expressiveness, which is impressive, but once you need the plot to show you a relaxed and relaxed state, you will be depressed, even if you are smiling, your eyes are nervous, giving people a pressure and reducing the tension of the performance...... From this point of view, Ge You and Jiang Wen are far stronger than you, and even Baoqiang is better than you."
Ge You's sense of relaxation is the most famous in the circle, but few people know that the imposing Jiang Wen is actually the most relaxed actor, he plays Qin Shutian in Furong Town, and uses waltz dance moves to "play" with a broom to sweep the street, and his acting skills are amazing.
Li Xiaole pointed out Sun Honglei's problem sharply, making his face blue and white for a while, and he unconsciously stared at Wang Baoqiang, who was smirking, and was surprised to find that this person actually gave him a sense of relaxation from beginning to end, and when he laughed, the whole person gave people a very natural and unpretentious feeling.
Sun Honglei went up and touched Wang Baoqiang's back with some curiosity, although it was also hard, but obviously the muscle groups were relaxed, and they were not stiff at all.
At this time, Sun Honglei was also pondering in his heart, and Zhao Baogang, who knew him best, also felt that he was a little insufficient, but he couldn't say the specifics, only said that he "can't play the leading role, and the audience may not recognize your type of performance when playing the leading role." In the past, he couldn't figure it out himself, but today Li Xiaole is so transparent, and he completely recognizes his own problems......
This kind of "looseness" is the most internal problem, it is related to the essence of a person, it is difficult to change, is it really impossible for him to reach the height of those top actors in his life?
But just when Sun Honglei felt disheartened, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw Li Xiaole's faint smile and said:
"You will play the role of Bao Shihong, I can help you solve this problem that you can't relax."
Director Li ...... You ......" Sun Honglei felt caught off guard, the feeling of being fished up from the bottom of the valley made him break out in a cold sweat, although he knew that Li Xiaole was deliberately tossing him like this with his experience, but he still followed Li Xiaole's rhythm, because he felt that there was an extremely strange feeling, Li Xiaole seemed to know him very well, just like a friend who he had played with since childhood, and this friend's level was higher than him, and he could see at a glance that he had a few intestines in his stomach and could see it very clearly......
Sun Honglei is an extremely arrogant person, because since he was sensible, he basically did everything he wanted to do, and he did it all under the opposition of others, such as learning break dancing, such as going to a song hall to work, such as going to the Chinese opera exam...... So he has always thought that he is right, and everyone else is wrong, even when dealing with Zhao Baogang and Zhang Yimou, he can roughly figure out what they are thinking.
But today, when he faced Li Xiaole, a word came to his heart for the first time...... "unfathomable", and he couldn't grasp the pulse of this little director at all.
"Before shooting, you have to spare half a month." Li Xiaole didn't wait for him to answer, and continued to say in an oppressive tone: "Can it be done?" ”
"Absolutely." Sun Honglei nodded very quickly, and his mind had been completely taken away by Li Xiaole.
"Deputy Director Ning." Li Xiaole turned his head and shouted, Ning Hao was stunned and didn't react, so he could only raise his voice and shout again: "Deputy Director Ning." Ning Hao reacted at this time, and hurriedly came over and asked:
"What's the matter, Director Li."
"You should have the foundation to learn meditation and meditation in the temple, don't do anything for half a month, just take Sun Honglei to the rest room in the factory, make a room alone, let him meditate well, according to the requirements of Zen Qi, arrange someone to bring him water and rice, don't let him contact anyone, and don't allow him to speak." Li Xiao thought about it and decided that if Sun Honglei wants to reach that "loose" state in the short term, meditation is the most haode.
In the final analysis, the string that is tense in people's hearts is a lack of security, afraid of losing this and losing that, and worried that they can't get what they want, when Sun Honglei was young, his family of 7 people was crammed into a room of less than 30 square meters, living in poverty, and his experience was so complicated, and the sense of crisis and oppression in his heart was accumulated for many years.
You can only temporarily put him in a "quiet and empty" environment, let him realize that there is nothing but his own state, truly face his inner fragility and ugliness, and accept that part of himself, and then he can achieve inner calm, "let go" of those unnecessary things, and then he can achieve true relaxation.
Li Xiaole has also heard that during the filming of "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", the famous director Zhang Li, who has a deep study of Zen, asked Sun Honglei to learn to meditate when he saw him, and Sun Honglei's performance gradually began to feel lightweight.
This can be regarded as a trick for him to steal the teacher's trick and prescribe the right medicine.
"This ...... It's a good way, but I'm afraid he won't ......be able to hold it back" Ning Hao looked at Sun Honglei's rough face, and felt a little bottomless, how could he manage such a person, although retreat and meditation were the most hode meditation method, it was not something that ordinary people could endure.
"Deputy Director Ning, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Before Li Xiaole could speak, Sun Honglei said solemnly with a solemn face, and pointed to his nose: "I will do what I say, if I leave halfway, I, Sun Honglei, will not be in the film industry in this life." ”
"Okay......" Ning Hao looked at his angry eyes, and his heart was even more empty, what might he do, Director Li had spoken, so he could only listen to the arrangement.
Seeing Sun Honglei follow Ning Hao away, the secretary Xiao Wang immediately came over and gave Li Xiaole a thumbs up, admiringly:
"Director Li, you really have a set, and you can even train this kind of person to be obedient and obedient." He can see that Sun Honglei is desperate, and he plunged into it, in order to perform this play well, let alone let him meditate for half a month, even if he is allowed to go on a hunger strike for half a month, it is estimated that he is willing.
Li Xiaole just smiled silently, but turned his head to find that Wang Baoqiang lowered his head, as if he had been wronged, and couldn't help but curiously go around to him and ask him:
"Baoqiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Big brother...... It's nothing, I just feel envious......" Wang Baoqiang raised his head, his eyes were red, his mouth was very aggrieved, and he stopped talking.
"Envy what?" Li Xiaole asked with some amusement.
"You are eccentric~" Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but bow his head and said: "Why did you let this Sun Honglei meditate to improve his acting skills, and let Deputy Director Ning serve him, you have never told me this trick before, and I also want to meditate......"
"Are you going to meditate?" Li Xiaole couldn't cry or laugh.
"Because meditation can improve acting skills~ I feel very stiff when I act." Wang Baoqiang rolled his eyes and commented on himself, and then doubted: "Big brother, can meditation really make people feel relaxed?" ”
"Can it be ......" Li Xiaole nodded and smiled: "But this is just a way to treat the symptoms, even if Sun Honglei meditates, he can't make much progress, but it's no problem to deal with one or two scenes." ”
"So what's the cure?" Wang Baoqiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, this little brother Le is really not a good person, it turns out that there is still a trick hidden.
"The way to treat the symptoms...... Li Xiaole said with a wry smile: "It's to live well, experience more, try to observe others more, film more, from life, character stories, and other people's stories, understand people from all walks of life, things from all walks of life, how this shijie works, and how different people think of this shijie's ......"
Those actors who have left their names in the film history, artists who have never had unparalleled acting skills as soon as they come out, which one is not bumpy when he was young, taking on all kinds of bad plays, being tortured by reporters in the entertainment industry, all kinds of ignorant audience sarcasm, and going through all the hardships to become the so-called top actors, the same in any industry, when it really reaches the highest stage, it is the inner realm.
"Brother Xiaole, you are talking too mysterious......" Wang Baoqiang listened and opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly felt that Li Xiaole's image was taller.
"It's not mysterious at all, drama is like life." Li Xiaole patted Wang Baoqiang's head with a smile: "Don't worry, don't think about this, just be yourself, one day you can be the number one man." ”
"That's for sure~ I have practiced in Shaolin Temple for six years, and I will definitely become a martial arts star in the future." Wang Baoqiang showed a row of big white teeth and smiled, but he didn't believe that he could be the number one man.
