Chapter 18: Call Me Yaya
In these days when "Myth" gradually became popular on the Internet, Cheng Peng's life has not changed, he still draws storyboards during the day, and goes to the Internet to read posts at night to check the situation of "Myth".
Things are developing better than expected, but Cheng Peng is not in a hurry to move on to the next step, and some things are in a hurry. If I jump out now and declare that I am Nirvana, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the conditions that "Myth" wants.
After all, online popularity is virtual, and high online popularity does not mean that it is popular in the real world. Only when "Myth" goes from the Internet to the real world does that mean that "Myth" is really popular.
He waited quietly, like a caterpillar that had turned into a cocoon, waiting for the moment when he would bite through the cocoon and fly into the sky.
At noon that day, Cheng Peng was lying in front of the computer and concentrating on drawing the storyboard, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, he felt a little strange, although there were still two families living in this house, one lived with a female white-collar worker, and the other lived with a resident female singer, but everyone had no contact.
The knocking on the door continued, and Cheng Peng could only put down the mouse and open the door. When he opened the door, he was stunned, and there was a ten-year-old young woman standing at the door, very pretty, with a simple cartoon T-shirt and blue jeans, full of an unconcealable youthful atmosphere.
The face in front of me coincided with the one in my memory, but it was younger, exuding the breath of youth, and the eyes flashed with innocence.
Tong Lihui?
Tong Liyu was obviously stunned when she saw Cheng Peng, the landlord said that this house was rented by a girl named Zhou Xiaoyu, and she rented it, who would have thought that it would be a boy. Although she is tall and handsome, her beard is unkempt, unkempt, and she looks a little sloppy, she doesn't know how to speak: "You, does Zhou Xiaoyu live here?" ”
Zhou Xiaoyu knows Tong Liyu, haven't you heard of it? Cheng Peng frowned, shook his head and said, "Zhou Xiaoyu doesn't live here, she has already moved away, do you have anything to do with her?" ”
"Ah, you're renting this room?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Tong Liyu was a little dumbfounded, she didn't want to live with a boy, it was too inconvenient: "I was deceived by the landlord!" He told me that there was a girl named Zhou Xiaoyu who lived here, so I rented the room next door, I didn't expect you to be a boy! ”
At the beginning, this room used Zhou Xiaoyu's name, and the landlord didn't know that Zhou Xiaoyu had left, which was a communication problem, but it couldn't be said to be a lie. No, Cheng Peng didn't bother to explain: "Oh, then you go find him!" ”
"Sorry to interrupt."
"Nothing." Cheng Peng closed the door, returned to the table, picked up the mouse and continued to draw the storyboard.
Not long after, the knock on the door sounded again, Cheng Peng thought it was the landlord who came to ask what was going on, opened the door and saw that it was still Tong Liyu, he was a little strange, and asked, "What, is there something wrong?" ”
Tong Liyu pursed her lips and said angrily: "I paid the money for three months, and the landlord will not give it back." ”
Cheng Peng was stunned, a little unsure of what she meant: "What are you looking for me to do?" I can't help you, you don't want me to move out, do you? ”
"I didn't mean that, now I have to live next door for the time being. Everyone lives under the same roof, and it is inevitable to deal with each other, come and get to know me, my name is Tong Liyu. Tong Liyu smiled and stretched out his hand to Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng felt that this girl was a cool person, and she was very open-minded, so she reached out and shook it gently, and then let go: "Hello, my name is Cheng Peng, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Cheng Peng, you're an actor, right?"
"Yes, you listened to the landlord, right? He is a man who loves to brag. ”
"Well, listen to what the landlord said, he said that you often go out to film, and you don't have much time at home, and he also said that you have participated in many well-known TV series."
When the future big star said this, Cheng Peng was really embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Although I have participated in many TV series, they are all small roles, and they are professional-level actors." ”
Tong Liyu suddenly smiled, revealing her cute tiger teeth: "Great, I'm going to take the acting department, but I don't know how to act at all, if I encounter a problem with acting, can I ask you for advice?" ”
Cheng Peng remembers that Tong Liyu is from the Chinese Opera Performance Department, hasn't he been admitted yet? However, there is naturally no problem with his level, and he nodded with a smile: "No problem, I've been at home recently, just ask if you have any questions!" ”
"I won't bother you, goodbye!" Tong Liyu waved his hand at Cheng Peng and left with brisk steps.
Cheng Peng shook his head, returned to the computer desk and continued to draw, until the aroma of food wafted outside the door, and then put down the mouse. He moved his hands and feet, which were a little numb, and took out two packets of instant noodles from the instant noodle box and ripped them open, ready to eat instant noodles.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
It's her again, right? This girl is in such good spirits! Cheng Peng shook his head helplessly, put down the instant noodles in his hand, walked to the door and opened the door to take a look, sure enough, it was Tong Liyu, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Tong Liyu smiled: "Why don't you have dinner with me, I made three dishes, one person eats, and two people eat too." ”
Cheng Peng was stunned, then shook his head with a smile and said, "Then what's embarrassing, I'll just cook instant noodles." ”
Tong Liyu smiled: "What's embarrassing? If I find a teacher to tutor, an hour is dozens of dollars, and I decided to buy you with food, so that I don't have to pay. ”
The words have come to this point, if Cheng Peng still refuses, it will be too faceless, and said with a smile: "You will suffer a big loss now, I am a famous rice bucket, and I eat more than ten meals in one meal." ”
Tong Liyu sneered: "I haven't seen a rice bucket yet, and today is just an eye-opener." ”
When I came to the common living room, the food was already on the coffee table, although I didn't know how Tong Liyu's cooking skills were, but just the smell of the aroma was already mouth-watering.
Although Tong Liyu had just moved here, he was as enthusiastic as the host, beckoned Cheng Peng to sit down, handed him the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "My craftsmanship is not very good, how about you taste it." ”
Cheng Peng took a mouthful of shredded potatoes with green peppers and put them in his mouth, and praised him sincerely: "Okay, the dishes you make taste so good!" ”
Tong Liyu opened her eyes and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, if you think it's delicious, you can eat more!" ”
"Tong Liyu, you are in high school now, why did you move out of your home? The professional examination of the acting department is in February, and there is still half a year! ”
"You call me Yaya, everyone calls me that."
"Yes, okay. Yaya, how did you think of taking the acting department? ”
"I'm not a student, I'm a supernumerary member of the China Song and Dance Troupe, seconded from the Xinjiang Song and Dance Troupe. One of the sisters in the group suggested that I go to film school or Chinese opera, and I thought it was a way out, so I moved out to prepare for the exam in February. I heard the landlord say that there was an actress living next door, so I rented it without thinking about it. ”
It turned out to be a dancer, no wonder she looks so good! Cheng Peng nodded and said: "Those who learn dance have stage experience, and they have a great advantage over ordinary people, and they will definitely be able to be admitted." You were born to be an actor, and this choice is very correct. ”
Tong Liyu tilted his head to look at Cheng Peng and asked, "It's really fake, why do you say that?" ”
Cheng Peng explained: "Because you look very spiritual and have a special temperament, this should be related to your long-term dancing, which can enhance people's temperament." There are many ways to classify actors, such as comedians, action actors, such as true color actors, surname actors, etc., but in my opinion, actors can actually be divided into two categories, temperament actors, acting actors, you are a natural temperament actor. ”
Tong Liyu began to hear Cheng Peng say that he had a spiritual surname and temperament, thinking that he was pleasing himself, there were too many people who wanted to please her from childhood to adulthood, but after hearing it, he felt that it was true, and he was a little curious: "Is there any difference between the two?" ”
"An acting actor is an actor who is good at acting, and a temperament actor is an actor who has a unique temperament, for example, Meryl Streep is an acting actor; And Audrey Hepburn is a typical temperament actor, she has a pure temperament, and it is precisely because this temperament is very suitable for the role of Princess Anne, so we think she is Princess Anne, so that she has many outstanding performances later, but in our hearts she has always been the Princess Anne who is as pure as water. ”
"If it doesn't match your own temperament, isn't it bad to perform?"
Cheng Peng felt that this girl was very smart, and he saw the crux of the problem at once: "Yes, every character in the movie has its own temperament. When the temperament of the actor is the same as that of the character, the performance is handy. If the actor's temperament is very different from the character's temperament, even if the appearance is very similar, it will look like a god. Do you know how the director chooses the actors? The first is to look at temperament, the second is to look at looks, and the third is to look at acting skills. From the director's point of view, the temperament of the actor is more important than the looks and acting skills. It's especially important for temperamental actors to choose roles that match their roles, do you know Yelena Jacob? ”
Tong Liyu thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this name, what does she do?" ”
"She is a French actress who is the protagonist of "Twin Flowers" and "Red", playing a nun in Antonioni's "The Son of the Clouds". Yelena Jacob is very beautiful and has a particularly good temperament, her temperament is quiet, pure white, a bit like clouds in the sky, and there is a faint sense of alienation, which makes people feel very comfortable. She had a very high starting point, she became a Cannes actress at the age of 25, but later she received too many commercial films, and these movies did not match her temperament, the effect was very poor, ruined the movie, and also ruined her temperament, and now she has become quite mediocre. ”
"I see what you mean, temperament actors must choose roles that match their temperament, otherwise they will fail."
"It's not entirely like this, temperament actors can use their own temperament freely when they hone to a certain extent, and transform the role according to their own needs, and then the drama road will be broadened, such as Daniel Day-Lewis and Marlon Brando are temperament actors, they play many roles, so you work hard!"
"Well, I'll work hard, but the most important thing now is to get admitted to the acting department. Both Chinese opera and film schools have acting departments, which do you think is better? ”
"These two schools are different, which one to study depends on your positioning of yourself, and you want to go to film school as a star, such as Zhao Wei and Xu Jinglei; wants to be an actor to go to Chinese opera, such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. The film school focuses on film and television performance, and students have a strong sense of lens; Chinese opera focuses on stage plays, attaches more importance to the training of basic skills, and has better lines and acting skills. Of course, it is not absolute, and it varies from person to person. ”
Tong Liyu didn't expect that there were so many differences, and nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, I have to think about it!" ”
