Chapter 297: Finalist
In the "Entertainment Weekly" magazine, the editor-in-chief yawned and walked in, without Shao Yingying's country, it seems that any news is a little uninteresting. Entering the office, the editor-in-chief began to work, and when he opened the copywriting on the table, he was stunned, and it was written that Shao Yingying actually ran to the Chinese opera to perform a drama, drama!
An actor who can make a box office of more than $500 million in North America does not plan to continue making movies and acting in dramas after returning to China?
"Xiao Zhou!"
The editor-in-chief called Xiao Zhou, who was writing the manuscript, in, and he didn't believe it.
Next week, I just entered the editor of the magazine, and I haven't got my press card yet, so I can only write copywriting in the company, and occasionally go out with the car to interview when there are not enough people, but I can't do it anymore, and he is indispensable to be scolded.
"Editor-in-chief." Xiao Zhou, who heard the voice outside the door, came over and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"You wrote this?" The editor-in-chief held up the copy: "Can this thing be sent?" Who believes! Shao Yingying, Ge You, and Huang Bo acted in dramas together? ”
Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Editor-in-chief, didn't you see it?" ”
"See what?"
"By the way, editor-in-chief, you are driving, not at the bus station, only those of us are waiting at the bus station." Changing the conversation, Xiao Zhou continued: "Editor-in-chief, this is true, our people have all gone to the Chinese opera to verify, the posters and everything are hung up today, in a few days, Shao Yingying, Ge You, Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Guo Jingfei premiered the drama "The Legend of Wukong" at the Capital Grand Theater. ”
"What!"
The editor-in-chief was stunned.
Not only was he stunned, but many Chinese media people were skeptical when they got the news. If this matter is replaced by the premiere of Shao Yingying's "Dear", which has just passed the trial, then they will believe it, but this is a drama.
Early the next morning. Major magazines, newspapers, online media, and TV media have reported on this incident, and everyone is a little confused about what Shao Yingying is doing and why he is putting a lot of money and not making money to rob the jobs of these people who can't make a lot of money.
Shao Yingying was dismissive of this, and he was currently busy in the rehearsal room.
At the audition that day, each actor had a new understanding of their role, and everyone's performance was constantly improving. Meng Jinghui suddenly grabbed the rope of the whole drama, and took the play to the next level like a doll. This time, he is confident that he will have a real full house when facing a national audience. Instead of taking those ignorant students who are not deeply involved in the world.
"Boss Shao, don't act like this, I can't catch you because you act like this......" Guo Jingfei and Shao Yingying don't have many rival scenes, even so. He is always a little overwhelmed by Shao Yingying's full affection.
Now Shao Yingying has changed. became proficient, and played the play while making jokes, and sometimes, he even blinked like a real monkey in the gag lines in the script, but if he looked closely, he didn't look like a monkey, like a joke afraid that the opponent would not know the code given. Whenever this kind of thing appears, Guo Jingfei feels in a hurry. He can deal with Ge You's nature, and Ge You's nature makes people feel like a fish in water; Shao Yingying's acting is also very natural. But when you are not familiar with this kind of nature, you will always unconsciously let him take it out. The belt can't find the love at all.
Huang Bo also coaxed: "Boss Shao, I feel that it is difficult to play with you now, and in this wave of recognition, Uncle Ge can give you a chess opponent." ”
Hearing this, Shao Yingying smiled and asked, "So my acting skills have grown again?" ”
Meng Jingshen replied: "Anyway, it's different from before, before it can be clearly seen that you have used all your strength, just like driving a truck to transport only one brick, and transport the bricks safely." Now, you take this brick and leave, send it to the place and throw it away, and whoever slaps it on the head is considered unlucky. ”
Shao Yingying asked again: "What about Uncle Ge?" ”
"Uncle Ge is different from you, Uncle Ge just carried it and put it there casually, and it won't get in the way anywhere."
Ge You is the person who won the Cannes Best Actor at the age of 35, and all the actors in China are brought together, no one can play Uncle Ge's light and careless strength, it is not easy for Shao Yingying to get to today, in the future, it is really lucky, not everyone has the opportunity to fly into the appearance of Uncle Ge.
"I'll help you carry a little."
Shao Yingying smiled, and when he continued to rehearse, the scene he acted out was a little more deliberate, and this little bit of deliberateness immediately wiped out the whole character's natural nature, but Guo Jingfei or Huang Bo were all very relaxed in the rivalry scenes that he threw over.
"Stop!"
Meng Jingshen was immediately unhappy: "No, Boss Shao, I don't want this Monkey King." Now the Monkey King you play is indeed a little stronger than when you auditioned, but the Monkey King you give me these days is not known how many times stronger than the Monkey King you are playing now, Guo Jingfei, Huang Bo, you two work hard, try your best to take it without being blunt, I have no special requirements, just don't be blunt with the two of you, but, Boss Shao, you still have to act as you just did. ”
Shao Yingying said: "Look at it, this is a typical master who is used to earning 100 and taking 80 unpaid." ”
Huang Bo is okay, he has a natural innocent background, once he can't catch it, he will stalk his neck, and he can deal with it with a roll of his eyes; Guo Jingfei is completely miserable, and he has played at critical moments twice in a row.
Shao Yingying really didn't do anything else, just played his own role, the only difference was that he solved the solemnity of playing Sun Wukong in a self-mocking way.
Uncle Ge looked at him for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Guo, if you want to feel that the strength of our big boss Shao lacks the solemnity you are used to, you should not look at his eyes, look at his eyebrows when acting in rival scenes, or feel that you will move your eyes away with movements." ”
"That's a high move." Meng Jinghui reflected: "Without a head-to-head confrontation, neither of them will be embarrassed." ”
"No, Uncle Ge, in the performance, if there is no positive eye contact in the rival scene, the two characters will be separated, and this effect will make the audience feel that the connection is not great, and it will be distracted......"
Uncle Ge said solemnly: "Nonsense, when we talk to people, when we point to something with our hands to express our feelings, our eyes follow our fingers and those who keep looking at each other are not big, don't look at me from a professional class, but I also understand that in the eyes of the audience, whether the two people's rivalry is closely related is not only by eye contact, distance, but also to solve this problem." ”
Several professionals had a big discussion about the problem just now, which often occurs in the rehearsal hall, and every time the rehearsal stops, it seems like a waste of time, but after this discussion, the whole drama will definitely become more exciting.
Uncle Ge said that he won the Cannes Best Actor Award for ten years with "Alive", he doesn't understand what acting skills are in the eyes of actors from professional classes, he only knows that he has seen all kinds of clarity of various people in his mind for so many years, and when he needs it, he will take these things out, so his way is a little different, but for him, it is particularly useful.
Huang Bo said that he was also born in the wild road, and he has not experienced physical, line, and acting training, but he expressed his most essential self, and analyzed what his first expression was when he encountered this situation according to the role, never embarrassed, never thought about it, and did not have certain rules, because he didn't know what he would think of himself in the next scene.
Guo Jingfei and Shao Yingying couldn't wait to open their mouths to scold their mothers when they watched these two people talk.
Both of them are actors who have come to this day step by step, how to read lines, how to express feelings with body language, how to convey emotions with one look, this thing is simple to say, if you don't have the strength to kill yourself when practicing, you can't stay in this industry. Who would have thought that when I looked back, I would encounter such two goods, and I was born to act into this virtue, which still made people not live?
After the discussion, Meng Jinghui smoothed out the trick again, and when the flashpoint of each actor and the hidden point of each actor became clearly visible: "Call it a day." ”
Meng Jing said: "From now on, we will come to the rehearsal room once a day, and perform it every day according to today's path. If you really get sick as soon as you enter the theater, you can only change people. ”
Since the beginning of this day, the work of the whole team has become very easy every day, and occasionally there will be a situation where Meng Jinghui feels that something is wrong and has to start over again after the performance.
Slowly, rehearsing once a day formed a habit, just like taking a bath, washing our face, brushing our teeth, and sleeping, we did it every day without feeling sick at all.
The days are approaching day by day, and Shao Yingying has also realized in acting again and again, although he still can't reach the state of Uncle Ge, but it is not easy for him to express the qiē in the play in a very relaxed state.
Tick, tick, tick.
The moment the phone rang, Shao Yingying received a call from Harry Sloan.
"Old man, did you miss me?" Shao Yingying joked unhurriedly.
"A good news and a bad news, which one to listen to first?"
Shao Yingying didn't expect Harry Sloan to play this game: "Good news. ”
The other side was startled and said, "Dear Shao! Our "Dear" was shortlisted for Cannes, and in the list of 18 shortlisted films in the competition unit, "Dear" ranked first in the ranking! ”
This news is indeed worth celebrating, but Shao Yingying still feels a little uncertain when he thinks of the bad news that Harry Sloan said: "Don't say that the best actor shortlisted are our two Oscar winners, nothing to do with me." (To be continued......)
