Chapter 554: Role Determined
Most of the domestic actors come from the two major mountain ranges of Chinese opera and Nortel, which are said to be inherited from Stanislavsky's performance system, but they are actually a variant of Sinicization.
Because it is so perfect, rigorous and indoctrinated, that it mass-produces a vote of so-called acting stars, and there are very similar performance templates between these people, but they are all confined to a certain box:
1. People with different personalities will have different experiences and feelings about the same thing; 2. Ignoring how experiences and feelings manifest themselves externally and allow the audience to acquire them intensely.
Two words: rigidity.
From this point of view, those wild paths are more flexible, flexible, and infectious than the academic school. The most typical ones are Zhou Xun and Huang Bo.
Looking at European and American actors, it is rare to go to a national-level professional school such as Chinese opera, but they have one thing in common, that is, basic education.
Many people have been learning music, dance, and drama since they were young, and there are elementary school clubs in elementary schools, middle school clubs, neighborhood theaters, city theaters, and so on. The stage play, which seems to us to be quite cold, is just a common spice in people's lives.
They also respected the Stanislavsky system, and even had a special teaching studio, but they did not rigidly implement it, but combined with market feedback, they developed a new school, "methodism".
"Methodism" focuses on external expression, that is, through expressions, bodies, language, and various auxiliary behaviors, such as the movement and transformation of props and sets, to help the audience establish an emotional connection with the actors.
To put it simply, China pays attention to its own inner feelings, while Europe and the United States pay attention to the interaction between the audience and the entire drama.
Chu Qing was born in Yeluzi, has experienced the performance enlightenment of art films, and has also received a simple school education, and has brushed up on experience in Hong Kong, which is inferior to European and American styles. He was also nurtured in the mixed and huge Hollywood.
Therefore, he is different from any actor in the Chinese-speaking area, infinitely close to the Western school, and with a unique Oriental subtlety.
This is also the biggest reason why European fans are heartfelt towards him.
Of course, at 3:40 p.m. this afternoon, in the audition room of Focus Company - MacDonald, Graham, Tessa Ross three typical European and Americans. I also experienced this feeling.
"I have to say, you're amazing, yes, outstanding!" Ms. Tessa kept nodding, and Graham didn't say anything, just pouted.
MacDonald was more eccentric, his eyes seemed to be a little deeper, and he still said stiffly, "Thanks for your performance, you can go back." We'll let you know when there's news. ”
“OK!”
Chu Qing, who sat down again, immediately stood up after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the opportunity, bye!" ”
With that, he turned and went out.
"Martin, you ......"
Graham was about to ask, but suddenly paused, and within five minutes. The director always maintained that posture of bowing his head and contemplation, motionless.
……
"Whew!"
Chu Qing looked up at the sky. I couldn't help but let out a breath. In this audition, he was unprecedentedly full and careful, even taking into account the choice of filmmakers that may result from the difference in roles.
Lei has more roles, whether in the play or in the cast, he is a well-deserved first protagonist. Ken's positioning is very ambiguous, saying that it is a supporting role. The proportion is too large, and it is said that it is the protagonist, and the deviation is so much.
If he chooses Ray, the director or filmmaker has a 90% chance of refusing, if he is replaced by Ken. Instantly drops to 50%. Half to half, success or failure, he has done his best.
The rest is a matter of luck.
"Jingle bell!"
Just as he started the broken Ford and was about to meet Alex, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Xiaobao! ”
"Brother, what are you doing?" Fan Xiaoye asked crisply.
"I just finished the audition, what's wrong?"
"Uh, can you come back? Xiao Ying has something to do......"
Big and small Ying is Cheng Ying, Xiao Xiaoying is Huang Ying, Chu Qing heard her hesitate, and couldn't help but wonder: "What can't you tell me directly, besides, I'll go back next month." ”
"I don't really understand, anyway, she'll let you come back as soon as possible."
"I, I'm not very convenient."
He scratched his head and said worriedly, "Why don't you wait a week, I'll see what the situation is here." ”
"Oh, that's fine, I'll tell her."
"Well, bye-bye, ╮(╯3╰)╭"
He hung up the phone with a strange expression, and thought for a long time without a clue, just thinking that Cheng Ying was having a convulsion.
In the following days, Chu Qing accompanied Alex to do post-production, while waiting for the news of "Killer No Holiday". At first, it was quite calm, but on the first day, there was none.
The next day, no.
On the third day, not yet.
On the fourth day, still not.
On the fifth day, he had booked a flight back home......
On the sixth day, who knows, MacDonald's already thinning hair has fallen out a lot, and he is so worried!
Because "Killers Have No Holidays" is a serious European style, Ray has circled the Irish Colin Farrell to play, the heroine is the French Cremens, and the big boss Harry also found the British Ralph Vanes (the one who plays Voldemort).
Then Ken, it is better to also be played by a European actor.
But, but...... As soon as he closed his eyes now, it wasn't Alan Rickman, it wasn't Bradan Gleason, but the tall, thin Oriental.
"His figure should be a little fat, like my weight, and then about twenty pounds, so that it looks very clumsy and slow-paced, so he should walk like this......"
OH!
Well, MacDonald has to admit that he wants to see this happen too much. Moreover, besides, that guy's reputation is also quite high, he is very familiar in Europe, the filmmaker's opinion is fine, and the stalk about Chinese can also be used......
He persuaded himself one by one, and finally succeeded in hypnosis.
So on the seventh day, Chu Qing finally received a call. The director made two requests: the accent had to be changed to that vague country English; Gain at least 20 pounds.
The goods agreed without saying a word, and the film started filming in March, and now it is January, and there are nearly two months to prepare.
As for the salary, hehe.
In the past, due to the hype and exaggeration of the media, the 20 million club was a magic horse at every turn, which made many people think that Hollywood was a paradise for fame and fortune.
But when Chu Qing arrived here, he found that Latte should be down!
Hollywood actors earn an average of less than $100,000 a year, barely making ends meet. Because the higher the salary of a popular star, the lower the salary of the average actor, which is a common way to balance the budget.
The investment in "Killer No Vacation" is 15 million US dollars, which is considered a small and medium-sized cost, and he received about 450,000 US dollars.
Oh yes, you have to pay your own taxes here.
…………
At the end of January, the capital airport.
"Brother!"
Fan Xiaoye flew over, hugged her husband's neck, and began to kiss wildly without shame.
"Oops! Ah! ”
He was carrying his luggage in both hands, and he couldn't dodge, so he had to stand up in embarrassment, and said, "Don't make trouble, where are you going to take pictures!" ”
"Shoot it!"
She didn't care, and waved at the paparazzi-like guy.
He thought it would be over, but when he got in the car and drove away from the airport, at the first red light intersection, his daughter-in-law hugged him and kissed him endlessly.
"Are you hungry?" Chu Qing struggled away, his mouth full of lipstick marks.
"This is called ** unbearable!"
Fan Xiaoye glanced at him and complained: "I've been like a little widow for half a year, are you embarrassed to say it?" ”
"Uh......"
He suddenly felt weak, he was indeed excessive, and said with a smile: "I'll stay until March this time and then leave." ”
"Yo, conscience found?"
"I just took over a film, I have to brew it, and besides, isn't Xiaoying okay?"
"Hey, I knew none of it was for me."
She stepped on the gas pedal hard and ran out of the way.
“……”
Chu Qing couldn't help but be silent, paused for a while, and then apologized: "I've worked hard for you in the past half a year." ”
Fan Xiaoye was also stunned, blinked his eyes, suddenly took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, and said with a smile: "Pull it down, fake model, it's too numb!" ”
"Heh......"
He pinched his daughter-in-law's face, said no more, and rested on the back of the chair.
More than 40 minutes later, the two arrived at the community and drove the Volvo into the garage. Inside, it's extremely spacious, brightly lit, and there is a Mercedes-Benz off-road, a Mercedes-Benz RV, and the original little four-eyed.
He is not very interested in cars, and his daughter-in-law is a little stronger, but she likes Daben and becomes a spokesperson. That off-road car was bought at a discount, only more than one million.
The RV was for tourism, and I thought it was good, but I didn't drive it once.
Chu Qing took down the luggage, and when he saw Fan Xiaoye's back and forth, he couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?" ”
"I went to the restaurant to get some food, but I can't find it!"
She pouted, rummaged through the trunk, and muttered, "I remembered to leave it here, why is it gone?" Back to the pot meat, back to the pot meat, mutton roast wheat and bone broth, where are you, come out quickly! ”
“……”
Chu Qing pursed his lips, suddenly leaned over and hugged the little body.
"What are you doing...... Hmmm......"
As soon as she turned around, her mouth was tightly gagged, and a long-lost taste spread along the tip of her tongue to her mouth, and then penetrated into every cell.
"Hmmm......"
Fan Xiaoye turned around with great difficulty, instantly became active, and slapped her husband's lips with her tongue.
After a long time, the two only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and then they gasped and separated. She ran to the door in a few steps, snapped a button, and saw the huge garage door clatter shut.
It's January, and it's still cold.
Therefore, she started the car very reasonably, turned on the air conditioner and heater, and dragged her husband to the back seat normally.
"This shed is so low that you can't stretch your legs!"
"Uh......"
"Oh, I can't get enough of it, you come from behind!"
"I ......"
"Hurry up, what are you doing?"
"No, I mean, we're not going to get carbon monoxide poisoning, are we?" (To be continued.) )
