Today, only Bong Jun-ho and Song Kang-ho are guiding Chen Jae-tian's performance and learning, and Lee Cang-dong was unable to come over because of other things.

Compared to the 'talent' and comprehension ability he showed in his first study yesterday, Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho are obviously more strict with him today, which is a manifestation of his high expectations.

In Bong Joon-ho's eyes, he no longer sees Chen Jae-tian as his brother-in-law, and he now sees an actor full of shaping and great acting talent from the perspective of a director; In Song Kanghao's eyes, this is a very talented junior. The two of them naturally spared no effort to guide Chen Zaitian.

Therefore, so far, Chen Zaitian cannot be said to have a thorough understanding of actors, but some basic things have been mastered. However, he encountered a troublesome thing, he was already able to master the guidance of Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho and the performance demonstrated by Song Kang-ho, but the three of them felt a little twisted from beginning to end, especially when they directed Chen Zaitian to play the audition role, although he had already performed according to the guidance of Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho, he always felt that he was missing something, but he couldn't say why.

"Whew."

With a deep breath, Chen Zaitian walked quietly on the way home.

Although Chen Jaetian's learning of acting skills has hit a bottleneck, it still does not dispel the impression in his hearts of Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho, for a newcomer who has just started to get in touch with acting, he can master the basic knowledge of actors so quickly, and what luxury can they have except to continue to praise. As for this situation, they felt that it might be due to the high-pressure study for two consecutive days, and Chen Zaitian was also a little tired, so they decided to let Chen Zaitian go back to rest in advance in the afternoon. In response to this problem, maybe relax a little, and tomorrow it will get better.

In fact, only Chen Zaitian himself knows that he is not tired, but he has not found the feeling, but he can't say which feeling is wrong.

The boulevard is still so cool, and many idlers and tourists sit outside the coffee shop shacks, admiring the rare tranquility in the noisy Seoul. When passing by a small gallery, he couldn't help but stop, as if it had been a long time, he hadn't been able to sit here and drink a cup of coffee, leisurely painting a painting he liked, maybe he had been stumbling over a lot of things during this time, and he couldn't calm down at all.

Everyone should have a space of their own, completely immersed in their body and mind, not disturbed by all external factors, and really do what they like and think about themselves. Whether it is this life or previous life, painting is like this feeling for Chen Zaitian.

"Hey, you're here." Suddenly, a breathy but gentle voice sounded behind him, and Chen Zaitian couldn't help but turn around.

At first glance, he was obviously stunned, and he didn't immediately recognize the old man in front of him, but after seeing his gray-haired, gentle and elegant temperament, he suddenly woke up. It was when he first moved to the apartment on Boulevard, and he met the old man one afternoon when he was drawing outside the coffee shop with his painting tools.

"Hello, old sir."

Chen Zaitian didn't expect to meet him here again by chance today.

"Oh, you kid still remember me, I thought you had forgotten me. I remember we had each other's phone calls, but we didn't see you call. The old man's index finger nodded angrily at Chen Zaitian, and said with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, I've been too busy lately, and I'm sorry for being negligent." Chen Zaitian hurriedly bent down and bowed to apologize to the old man. He was not only negligent, but he basically never remembered such an elder again.

"You, you..." the old man smiled and pointed at Chen Zaitian twice. How about it, do you have time, sit down with my old man and have a cup of tea?! ”

"Well, it's an honor for the younger generation." It just so happens that I am having some distress and time now, and it is also very good to chat with the old man, talk and relax.

The two walked forward more than ten meters together, found a small tea shop, ordered refreshments, and sat down outside.

After a few polite chats, the old man was still amazed by Chen Zaitian's Chinese ability and knowledge. However, I don't know if it's because of the feeling that I am not going well in my acting studies today, Chen Zaitian unconsciously showed a little distress when he was chatting with the old man.

"Why, you said that things have been too busy lately, what are you busy with? And, judging by your expression today, it seems that you have encountered some kind of problem, so let's listen to this old man and see if I can give you some advice. The old man saw his mood and smiled with concern.

Chen Zaitian hesitated for a while, looked at the old man's gentle and kind eyes, and told him all about the past two days, of course, the identity of Bong Junhao and others cannot be said.

The old man was obviously stunned by Chen Zaitian who was learning acting and planning to be an actor, and he didn't know what to say with a wry smile, so he didn't give Chen Zaitian any advice first, but scolded him first: "You bastard boy, what's wrong with letting you go to school to study hard, how to go to learn acting, what kind of actor do you want to be." What a waste of your knowledge and mind. ”

In the old man's mind, with Chen Zaitian's qualifications, he can continue his studies or become a scholar after graduating from university, after all, in South Korea, the social status of elite intellectuals is compared with that of star artists, which is a gap between heaven and earth.

Unnaturally, the old man used the tone of his years of education. In his opinion, the current Chen Zaitian is completely a rebellious young man, who doesn't know the importance of life choices.

Chen Zaitian didn't expect the old man's reaction to be so big, and he couldn't help but freeze, but the other party was an elder, and he was embarrassed to say anything.

seemed to feel that his tone was a little too much, and the old man calmed down, but he was still angry at Chen Zaitian's action. But fortunately, the old man is also a sensible person, although he is dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, he still used his own 'identity' advantage to put forward opinions on Chen Zaitian's problem.

Because of his special 'identity', the old man told him a story he himself saw in Chinese literature:

Mei Lanfang has a student, she admires Mei Lanfang's performing arts very much, and is determined to learn the teacher's acting skills, so she painstakingly imitates Mei Lanfang's performance and singing voice one by one. Later, she performed a play called "Luoshen" that she thought was the most satisfactory to learn to some old-timers to ask for advice. When the old-timers saw it, they gave her advice and said; "Mei Lanfang is performing Luoshen, but you are performing Mei Lanfang."

What does this criticism mean? In fact, I want to illustrate a problem, that is, the labor of an actor should be a kind of creative labor, and the work of an actor is to perform. The task of performing arts is to create typical characters or images on stage, in film and television, in order to educate and influence the audience. The actor shows the character's life experience and destiny in public with his specific interpretation actions, so as to complete the shaping of the character's character or image, so the actor's performance is a kind of artistic creation. Therefore, no actor should be satisfied with repeating the artistic creations of others, even if he learns from the successful works of others, he is allowed to have his own unique artistic opinions, which can be recreated according to the actor's own performance style and artistic expertise. This is the principle that "there are a thousand Shakespeares, there are a thousand Hamlets".

When the old man finished telling this story, Chen Zaitian immediately understood what his problem was, wasn't he actually the same as this student?

Although he has been working hard to teach himself the knowledge of acting, and has learned a lot, in general, most of his achievements in acting in the past two days have come from the teaching of Bong Joon-ho and the three of them, and many things are completely performed according to their ideas, especially in the creation of audition characters, he completely deduced and expressed according to the explanations of Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho. That doesn't belong to his interpretation at all, after all, it's him who performs, not Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho.

"Mei Lanfang is performing Luoshen, but you are performing Mei Lanfang."

As this sentence says, what he wants to interpret and interpret is to perform the role in the script, not the role in the mouths of Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho.

Being woken up by the old man like this, Chen Zaitian suddenly brightened, and he felt that the dull heart in his chest was finally beating relaxed. He finally understood some of the most fundamental meanings of actors.

Thinking that every character is another life, he can't help but be full of interest and a hint of challenge.

Seeing Chen Zaitian's happy and smiling expression, knowing that he had been woken up by himself, the old man couldn't help laughing, it seems that he still likes the sense of accomplishment brought by his old profession the most.

"Thank you, sir." Chen Zaitian said to the old man with sincere gratitude. His words and stories made Chen Zaitianmao pause, and the bottleneck encountered in acting learning was naturally solved.

"You're welcome." The old man smiled and waved his hand, but his expression was bitter and said: "Looking at you like this, I still regret mentioning you, it is better to let you run into a wall and listen to my advice to come back and study hard." ”

The old man hasn't forgotten this thing, and he is still haunted by it.

Chen Zaitian laughed, of course he knew that the old man was just joking, and when he remembered last night's contemplation, he couldn't help but speak: "Don't worry, old man, after some time, I will go to apply for the university when I have free time." ”

"Oh, you're telling the truth?" The old man was obviously pleased with Chen Zaitian's words.

Chen Zaitian nodded, this decision was made last night, he felt that he still accepted the advice of his brother-in-law Bong Joon-ho, and no matter what country he was in, it was naturally a good thing to have a diploma.

"Do you want to apply for any university? Yonsei, Goryeo, or Seoul National University? When the old man talked about Seoul National University, his eyes were obviously very bright.

Chen Zaitian hurriedly shook his head, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "These are all famous domestic schools, is my level a little too reluctant, or find some ordinary private universities." ”

The old man was not happy about Chen Zaitian's excessive modesty, not to mention that this young man was still appreciated by him. Thinking of his identity, he said this, isn't that refuting his own face, saying that his vision of seeing people is cloudy...

"Nonsense, it's good for young people to be modest, but being too modest is pride, and it's not right for you to be proud. What level do you have, I think your knowledge of Chinese language is much stronger than many people, just this alone, you can casually apply for the language department of the top universities in China. ”

The old man seriously criticized Chen Zaitian, and then thought about it before saying: "In this way, I have a friend who is the head of the language department of Seoul National University, and I can recommend you to the interview when the time comes, I think with your Chinese level, it should not be difficult to pass the test." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Zaitian was stunned, although he had always felt that he was also a person with status from the old man's temperament, but he didn't expect him to have such a background. This had to surprise him, but he was also very happy, after all, it was good to have a referral from the door.

However, Chen Zaitian frowned in distress, and muttered in his mouth: "Chinese..."

"What's wrong?" The old man looked at him puzzled. He felt that he should have said something wrong, indeed, in his mind, the talent displayed by Chen Jaetian was the most suitable for further study of his language talent, and maybe he could really become a Chinese language researcher in Korea.

"Old sir, can I apply for other majors at that time, such as English or acting..." Because in Chen Zaitian's mind, he really doesn't need to learn this Chinese, not to say how good his Chinese is, but how to say that he should be able to pass the standards set by the country of South Korea, it is really not learnable. More importantly, he has been in China for more than 30 years in his previous life, and he really wants to vomit when he wants to learn how to speak Chinese.

"Ah, why are you still thinking about your acting... Well? English, do you know that too? The old man heard Chen Zaitian mention something about the actor again, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Zaitian's words and became annoyed, but he finally reacted later, Chen Zaitian mentioned English.

Chen Zaitian nodded with a smile, "I still understand a little bit of English, a little bit of it." ”

Compared with learning Chinese, he might as well learn more English, although he studied in the UK for four years in his previous life, his English level is actually very high, as for the performance, it is also to see if there is a possibility of that choice.

Another little understanding, the old man has been fooled by Chen Zaitian's 'slightly understood' a few times, like Chinese, he also said that he understands a little, but his slight understanding is estimated to be not inferior to some Korean scholars engaged in Chinese language, this is after his research. Otherwise, he would not have admired Chen Zaitian so much.

Sure enough, after Chen Zaitian's English with a pure British accent was revealed, the old man was completely stunned.

Could it be that the person opposite him is really a genius? The main thing is that he is too young.
