Chapter 246: Mask
Early September, Hong Kong.
The troupe is located on the ground floor of a building, with a half-story space divided into offices, rehearsal rooms, props rooms, and several small areas, after all, there are not many people.
Chu Qing walked through the corridor, and when she entered the door, she felt empty, she didn't even have a front desk, and she was looking for someone when she suddenly saw Zhen Yongbei coming out of the office.
"Sister Zhen!" He beckoned.
"Qingzai, come to find Ajan?"
"yes."
"He's teaching, over here."
Zhen Yongbei took him to the door of the rehearsal room, the double wooden doors were closed, looked through the glass window, and said, "It should be almost over, you can go in and wait for a while." ”
"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhen."
Chu Qing knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed it open, and it was quite spacious, with a bright and non-slip brown floor, a large mirror with an entire wall on one side, and a few chairs on both sides.
A long-haired girl with her back to him, plainly dressed and with slightly thick calves, couldn't help but look back when she heard the door knock.
Her age is relatively vague, she seems to be in her twenties overall, but her light eyebrows are slightly immature, like eighteen or nineteen years old. It's not pretty, but it feels very comfortable, and the mouth is big, and when you laugh, there will be an exaggerated arc between the two lips.
"This is Lin Jiaxin, this is Chu Qing, they are all my students."
Zhan Ruiwen stretched out his arms, pointed at one point, introduced at the same time, and then said with a smile: "Qingzai, you sit first." ”
Chu Qing gestured to her slightly, slipped to the wall by herself, leaned on the chair, looked left and right, there was nothing to play, so she had to take out her mobile phone and tinker.
"Shame is the biggest obstacle to acting, so if you want to be a good actor, you must first throw away your shame."
Zhan Ruiwen wore a pair of brown glasses, which was different from his usual virtues, and he was really a bit of a teacher. "Because you haven't been exposed to acting before, I'll put it in the simplest way, you learn the sound of a cat meowing." ”
"Cat meow?"
Lin Jiaxin blinked, and instantly became at a loss, not knowing what to do, and not knowing how to start.
"Don't think, don't hesitate, just use your first reaction!" ZHAN SIR SLAPPED HIS FACE AND ENCOURAGED.
"Meow, meow...... No way. No way. ”
She blushed all over her face, spit out two thin sounds very shyly, and immediately self-denial, and hurriedly said: "Sorry! I, I can't do it, it's too hard. ”
"What's so hard about this!"
ZHAN SIR CROSSED HIS WAIST, RAISED HIS CHIN AT CHU QING, AND CALLED, "HEY, QINGZAI." You learn to meow. ”
"Meow, meow, meow!"
The head of the goods didn't bother to lift it, and replied a few times casually.
"Learn to bark again."
"Wow!"
"Learn another cat and dog fight!"
“……”
Chu Qing finally raised his eyes. Sadly: "Do you go to class, or do I go to class?" ”
"It's stingy!"
Zhan Ruiwen expressed disdain, turned his head to Lin Jiaxin and said, "Na, this is today's homework." I don't care what method you use, you must do it, and show it to me tomorrow. OK? ”
"Uh, okay!" The girl nodded, though hesitant.
"That's it, today's lesson is over." He looked at the wall clock, which was just in time for a lesson.
"JAN SIR BYE-BYE!" She packed her backpack and waved her hand to Chu Qing again.
The thing was so bored that he yawned, and when he saw her go out, he got up and asked, "Where did you take your apprentice?" ”
"Er Dongsheng introduced."
Zhan Ruiwen unscrewed the bottle and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "I sang in Taiwan, had a dispute with the company, was hidden, and just came to Hong Kong to develop." I heard that Xinghao's boss liked her very much, and took a new play from Xu Anhua, so he sent it to me to learn some basics. Hey, don't mention her, I'll get you the script. ”
When the words fell, he slipped out of the door, and ran back in less than a minute, holding a notebook in his hand.
"This is the script we are going to play, it is a children's play......"
"Wait, wait."
Before Chu Qing opened it, he heard him add such a sentence, and hurriedly interrupted: "You said children's drama? ”
"Yes! We often rehearse for children. ”
"Aren't you an adult theater company?"
"The government gives us millions of subsidies every year, and we always have to do something for the government! Adult dramas should be rehearsed, and children's dramas should also be rehearsed, so that they can be prosperous enough. ”
Oh! Chu Qing understands that in the language of the mainland, it means strengthening the building of spiritual civilization and enriching the people's amateur cultural life.
However, it really hurts to think about it!
Ya secretly estimated herself, with my image, how can I be Uncle Dong Hao? Let me tell you, Zhou Xingxing is so bad-tempered, do you know?
"This, what does this have to do with my performance?" He complained in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface.
"Of course it matters, you ......"
"Knock knock!"
ZHAN SIR WAS ABOUT TO EXPLAIN, BUT HE HEARD SOMEONE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, AND BOTH OF THEM TURNED THEIR HEADS, BUT SAW LIN JIAXIN STANDING AT THE DOOR AGAIN, HER EYELASHES TREMBLING SLIGHTLY, AND SHE SEEMED TO BE STILL WATERY.
"It's raining outside, I can't stop the car, can you let me stay a little longer."
Her Chinese is close to the mainland pronunciation, and the Taiwanese accent is very light, gentle and soft with a silky stubbornness.
It's raining?
The two looked at each other suspiciously, shrugged at the same time, it didn't matter.
…………
Christmas is approaching, and the toys in the toy store have been snapped up, leaving only a proud beer bear unattended. He asked Aunt Christmas for help in finding a young master who would be willing to adopt him.
So, Beer Bear goes into the third toy world to find it, during which he encounters many thrilling things, meets the puppeteer and the celestial envoy, and accompanies the dilapidated Royal Guards soldiers to find the long-lost Ballerina.
However, Beer Bear was hunted down by the fighting king in the toy world, and there were a series of fierce battles, and finally defeated the villain. And along the way, he also learned how to love and be loved.
All right...... This is the synopsis of the children's drama "Tin Tin Beer Bear", the so-called tin means liking and loving.
Vomit!
Chu Qing finished reading the script, his stomach was bubbling up, especially when he knew that his role was the Narausch puppeteer, it was so sour, it was simple!
At this moment, the scene in the rehearsal room has been reversed. Lin Jiaxin straddled the chair and stared at them with interest. Because of the frantic reports of the Hong Kong media a while ago, she recognized the beautiful boy, and she couldn't help but be curious.
"You don't care what kind of drama it is."
Zhan Ruiwen was trying to instill his own concept, gesturing with his hands, and said, "You just need to remember your character, a puppeteer, and more importantly...... Oh, you wait a minute. ”
As he spoke, he ran out again. He heard a commotion in the prop room, then hurriedly flashed back, threw the object in his hand, and said, "You need to wear it." ”
It was a snow-white mask, different from the shape of the last time, it was not very exquisite, it was simply molded with inverted facial features, and there were two black holes empty in the eyes.
"What the hell is this for?" Chu Qing played with it for a moment and wondered.
"Tsai. What do you think you're best at? ZHAN SIR DIDN'T ANSWER DIRECTLY, BUT ASKED RHETORICALLY.
"Uh, eye play."
“OK! Then close your eyes, how do you act? ”
"And the demeanor."
“OK! That covers the face. How do you act? ”
"And the lines."
“OK! You can't speak, you don't have a face, your limbs are stiff, and all your joints can't move smoothly. How else do you act? ”
“……”
Chu Qing was asked by him like a cannonball, and he was a little confused, but he also understood a little. Asked, "Are you asking me to exercise my limbs?" ”
"And that's not all."
ZHAN SIR LIFTED HIS GLASSES AND SAID, "YOU ACT OUT A SCENE FIRST, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN WATCHING TV." ”
"Okay."
Chu Qing answered, then looked ahead, grinning with pleasure.
"You put on your mask and do it all over again."
That's a little more complicated.
He paused, slapped his thigh, and then clutched his stomach and leaned back together.
“GOOD!”
Zhan Ruiwen praised it, motioned to the other party to take it off, and said: "When your face is blocked, if you want the audience to feel your own feelings, you must have strong movements." Remember, it has to be strong to have the most immediate impact. ”
He took the mask, put it on himself, and said, "This time it's me, I'll make movements, you guess my expression." ”
I saw him meditate slightly, then he raised his hands and feet, and began to jump on the floor, and his arms swung back and forth, making a running posture on the spot.
The strength of the footsteps was so great that it stepped on the rehearsal room, and the bang echoed.
After about half a minute, he stopped, pointed to his face, and asked, "My expression hasn't changed now, guess what?" ”
"Focus!"
"Tired!"
"Sweat!"
"Gasp!"
didn't wait for Chu Qing to squeak, Lin Jiaxin, who was watching vigorously next to her, took the lead in answering, and four words came out in a row.
“NO! What you said is incorrect, Tsing Tsai, what about you? Zhan Ruiwen asked.
"I think it's anger."
"Why anger?"
"Because you are very, very hard, the green tendons in your neck are bursting out, and ordinary people don't run so strangely. There must be something in your heart, and you have to vent it through guò exercise. He pondered for a moment and replied.
Zhan Ruiwen stared at him, speechless, just slowly took off his mask.
The two men hurriedly looked over and saw that his eyes were wide open, his lips were closed, and his face was angry and unwilling.
"Boom!"
Lin Jiaxin jumped up in shock, and the chair almost fell to the ground.
She was shocked, she was delighted, she was curious, she was excited, her sweat pores were dilated...... She has never studied acting, but at this moment, the living world is in front of her, wonderful, gorgeous, unknown, adventurous, full of creativity and vitality.
"When you make movements, your face must match your limbs."
"Since you can't make exaggerated expressions now, then cover your face and let your body feed back."
"Why can't you release your heart, because you're afraid. You are afraid that others will see you as lustful and lewd, obscene and drooling, and perverted and dark. You are more afraid that these things, once released, will affect your current personality. ”
ZHAN SIR SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "COMPLETELY WRONG IDEA. As I said before, being a person and acting are two different things, you have to face it and use it to go further. ”
When he said this, Chu Qing understood, and Lin Jiaxin also understood.
The mask is equivalent to a layer of psychological suggestion, blocking those hesitations and evasions, and releasing the most fundamental inner consciousness.
It's like, when you become a transparent person, no one can see you, and you will definitely do bad things.
(I'm looking for a house these days, and the time is chaotic because I have to move.) (To be continued......)
