"The Two of Us" was released in March, and it lasted for a week, and the theater really hurt and gave it up. Although there are Tokyo International Film Festival and Golden Rooster Award bonuses, it is useless, and the final box office is more than 5 million.

"Red Face" was released in early April, and the death was even more miserable, only more than 2 million. As for "Men on the Road", there is no need to look forward to it at all.

The strong contrast is the applause of the film critics and the praise of some audiences, but unfortunately it is not enough for most people to pay to go into the theater and watch a quiet literary film.

It is said that not long after Chu Qing returned to China, the 59th Cannes Film Festival threw out the shortlist and jury list.

A total of 21 films were nominated for the main competition this year, and "Tiangu" and "Summer Palace" are the only two Chinese-language works. In addition, Wang Chao's "Summer in Jiangcheng" was shortlisted for a kind of attention unit.

After he got the news, he immediately called Lou Ye, and the other party said that "Summer Palace" had not passed the review, and he insisted on sending it to the competition, and he almost broke up with Nai'an.

After listening to him, there is nothing to persuade, in today's policy environment, you still play the game of private exhibition, and the consequences are known.

As for the media, it seems that they have received some rumors and focused their firepower on "Tengu". It seems that several municipal newspapers mentioned "Summer Palace", but the next day there was no movement.

It is said that the leader was criticized, the reporter wrote a check, and the electronic version was withdrawn, and only some sporadic traces still exist on the Internet.

While dealing with the media, Chu Qing was depressed, as if he had returned to around 2000, that dull and free year.

In addition, this year's jury is chaired by Wang Sunglasses, and there are also Zhang Ziyi, Monica Bellucci, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Rose, etc., a total of nine people.

All parties in China expressed great pleasure because there were two Chinese judges at the same time. It can be described as the first time in film history. At the age of 27, Zhang broke the record held by Chu Qing and became the youngest Cannes judge.

……

"You took in a student?"

In the study, Chu Qing suddenly stopped writing and stared at his daughter-in-law in surprise.

"What kind of eyes do you have, I can't accept students?"

Fan Xiaoye sat cross-legged on the bed, all kinds of dissatisfaction.

"I mean, do you take students yourself, or do you take students for the school?"

"Of course, it's for the school, how can I have time to take it."

"Oh!"

Chu Qing was relieved. I turned around and continued to write.

Hey!

Fan Xiaoye was even more angry, and as soon as he sat on his lap, the weight of more than 100 catties began to flutter indiscriminately.

"Don't make a fuss, go play by yourself." Chu Qing pushed her.

"I don't!"

She arched in again, dragged the notebook on the table to take a look, and said in fright: "My mother, are you still preparing for class?" ”

"Of course, you have to prepare for teaching."

"Tsk!"

Fan Xiaoye shook his head while looking at it, and said happily: "It's quite serious." I didn't prepare anything for them. ”

"And what do you teach?"

"Teach them to be beautiful!"

She was quite proud, and said: "It's like how to get dressed, how to take hard photos, how to stand up casually when you fall on stage......

Chu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth. I couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure someone listens?" ”

"How fresh, those kids like it!"

"Uh......"

He glanced at his textbook, and suddenly felt very unscored, could it be a little old-fashioned? It's too rigorous. Young people don't seem to like to listen, but they speak too flexibly and don't have anything practical.

"Alright, go to sleep. I'll have to think about it! ”

The more he pondered, the more chaotic he became, and he directly blasted his daughter-in-law out.

Chu Qing is very respectful of the profession of a teacher, the school does not stipulate that they have to come to class every month, but they can't be fooled, they have to brush their faces when they have time.

If you're interested, it's actually quite difficult. Because acting is not like physical chemistry, it is very conscious, and how to make students understand and master it is really not something that can be done casually.

So after a total of half a day, he decided to give full play to his practical advantages and use sketches to talk about theory.

Chu Qing thought here, Fan Xiaoye was rolling on the bed boringly, and he was expecting her husband to come over and toss around, but when she waited and waited, she couldn't see anyone, so she had to fall asleep.

…………

The students in the second class are very hilarious, and the students in other classes are very envious.

The school is a small class, including those star classes, but there will be someone to record it and then show it to everyone to watch. Because Chu Qing chose the second class as the teaching point, the remaining five classes had to silently pretend to be dogs.

In the afternoon, the rehearsal room.

There were still a few minutes before the start of class, and sixteen students were already waiting there, all of them looking excited—except for Master Liu. She was puzzled, there were seven girls, five of them wearing makeup and beautiful clothes—as if they were not here for class, but to choose a concubine.

“……”

She didn't show it well, so she secretly complained, then raised her eyes, and instantly comforted: Fortunately, it's okay, our buns are not mixed.

Well, it's not that the buns don't mix, it's that you can't remember......

After a while, the class bell rang. Chu Qing took a folder, walked into the classroom on time, and when he saw the little eyes at the bottom, he was suddenly a little nervous, and said slowly: "Hello students!" ”

"Hello teacher!" The children answered.

Since there was no lectern in the rehearsal room, he stood in front, showing his flesh naked, and said with a smile: "Today's class is for me to speak, I won't introduce myself, hey, is anyone absent from the class?" ”

"Nope!"

"It's all here!"

"Alright, let's start class."

He pretended to open the folder, glanced at it, and said, "Performance, it's a very abstract thing, and there are a lot of things that can't be written or reasoned. Today I want to talk about a problem that we will all encounter in the future, improvisation...... Don't remember, don't remember! ”

He interrupted one of the boys and continued, "You just understand, you don't need to memorize. The so-called improvisation is a situation that departs from the script and the director's requirements and plays on itself. Generally speaking, the director won't call you a click, as long as you act accurately. ”

"What is precision, such as your control of the position, the improvement of the lines, and the manifestation of emotions, these are all called precision. It was born out of the script, but with a lot of inspirational things. Okay, so I ask you, what is the basis of improvisation? ”

"A deep understanding of the character!" A girl replied.

"Well, part of it, and what else it is?"

"And my own acting experience!" A boy answered.

"Yes, is there anything else...... Master Liu, tell me. He called him by name.

Liu Du's heart trembled, got up slowly, and hesitated: "Well, you must have solid basic skills." ”

"For example?"

"For example, muscle control of the face and eye training." She replied reluctantly.

"Exactly!"

Chu Qing looked at the teachable virtues of a child, and said with a smile: "What you said is right, but today I want to talk about another kind, imagination!" ”

Seeing that the students were at a loss, he said, "Today we will do a few sketch exercises, but before we do some warm-up." Please stand up, move the chairs, and form a circle, facing each other. ”

The students immediately took action, and they moved out of the open space with a bang, and stood in a big circle.

"Two people face to face should give each other gifts, but the person who gave it can only express it physically, and the person receiving it should also express it physically after saying thank you, which means that you understand the gift...... Do you understand everything? ”

"Got it!"

"OK, Zhang Kai, start with you!" Chu Qing casually ordered a chubby boy.

I saw him think about it for a few seconds, his hands slightly open, his thumb and index finger seemed to hold a string of precious things, and carefully handed it over.

Across from him was a little girl, and without thinking about it, took it and put it around her neck—obviously, it was a necklace.

"Too ordinary! Too ordinary! ”

Chu Qing was very dissatisfied, kept walking around the periphery, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Use your imagination, don't have limitations!" Don't be afraid of losing face, don't be afraid of exaggeration, what I want is unreliable! Dong Yujie, you continue! ”

As soon as the words fell, the little girl stood on her tiptoes and dangled strangely, and then her body shook several times like sifting chaff.

Wipe!

Zhang Kai was completely dumbfounded, he couldn't catch it at all, and couldn't help asking: "What are you playing?" ”

"That old-fashioned grandfather clock, I didn't even see it chime!" The girl began to shake again, and then shivered.

"Cut!"

"Not at all!"

"Like, I thought you were crazy!"

The classmates complained all kinds of complaints, but Chu Qing nodded, it was okay, it was a bit interesting.

Then the third place, playing a book; fourth, roses; The fifth place is the movie ticket...... Among the students, Zhao Liying has been watching hotly.

For rookies who have never been exposed to acting, this is both new and interesting. Her opponent happens to be Master Liu, and where is the expressionless poke on the front, the wooden one is a headache.

"This Liu is stupid!"

Zhao Liying stared at her for a while, and suddenly her eyes rolled, she originally wanted to play a rag doll, but now she has changed her mind.

The seventh, finally it was the turn of the bun, she took something with her left hand, and pulled it several times with her right hand, and handed it over.

“……”

Liu Du's eyes widened, and he clearly revealed a meaning: Why are you kidding me? (To be continued......)
