With the addition of Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington is much simpler, but Denzel Washington did not immediately agree, but after listening to Shao Yingying's movie description, he left the script very seriously. Shao Yingying knew that there was a play, and he saw Denzel Washington with excitement in his eyes when he heard that Tom Hanks would participate in the show, as well as the rival play. For an actor, especially an actor standing on a peak, what he is looking forward to may not only be innovation and refinement, but also hope to look far away, and bring the actor on another peak to his side and play a few scenes within the scope of his eyes.

It's just that this requirement is too difficult for Hollywood, if a movie gathers top-paid actors like Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, I'm afraid that the cost of production will be tight, and a drama with only acting skills is probably not only not bought by the audience, but even these big names will think that it is shoddy.

Denzel Washington agreed to star after reading the script, and Harry Sloan, who received the news, told Shao Yingying in an extremely excited voice, and Shao Yingying at the moment just coped with it very casually.

For Harry Sloan, MGM's ability to produce two Oscar-winning films is already a sign of returning to glory, but for Shao Yingying, this is a huge pressure!

That can be called two Oscar winners, which is equivalent to two strong and powerful hands raising this public welfare film high, at this time, if you Shao Yingying stretch out a thin arm, you can't share any strength, and you will lose it. It's not just you, Shao Yingying's own person.

That's right, there is no boundary positioning for acting, but the contrast is quite strong. is so strong that when acting, the actor himself can feel the gap between himself and his opponent in the scene, as long as you are professional enough. In other words, the joining of the two actors directly raised the acting level of the whole movie, at this time, Shao Yingxing's acting skills usually seem very good, as long as there is a little distance between him and others in the movie, he will be seen by fans all over the world, they may not know what the difference is, but the difference in performance can still be distinguished.

So, Shao Yingying went into retreat.

He forgot how long it had been since he had been in retreat to improve his acting skills, and this time it was really a bit of a feeling when he was in a rental house. It's just that this time Shao Yingying didn't watch the TV series to imitate, but relied on understanding and reading various materials. Yes, Shao Yingying no longer has to imitate other people's acting skills. After he has his own performance style, the performance form has been finalized, not to mention that this is not a matter that can be solved by imitation.

For example, Shao Yingying's identity as the father of the yellow race is the first generation of immigrants or the next generation of first-generation immigrants, which has to be played in two different ways. If it is a first-generation immigrant. Then he must bring out a little Chinese flavor in his performance, if it is the next generation, it will be completely different, you must know that the children born in the United States can call themselves the people of the United States, their values and living habits are completely different, even if these two generations are already parents, they are absolutely different in terms of educating their children, then. The form of the performance is certainly not the same.

In Hollywood, Shao Yingying can no longer walk on the street unscrupulously to see how the immigrant Chinese educate their children in the United States. The only thing he could do was to ask Harry Sloan to find someone for him to photograph Chinese people in Chinatowns in New York, LA and other places with their children going out, and then take the materials back and study them himself.

Since that day, Shao Yingying has not appeared in the eyes of any media, and he reads these materials in the hotel every day, repeatedly watching which Chinese language the parents and children speak, the gaffes during conversations, the way they worry about their children, and so on. Because the Chinese written in the script are first-generation immigrants, it is necessary to accurately grasp the state.

In addition, he also checked a lot of information on the education of parents in the United States, and also sent people to take some pictures of the United States people in contact with their children on the street, he did not imitate, but to completely distinguish his performance from the other two major actors, he believes that not only will he make these preparations, but Denzel Washington will also, because he plays an African immigrant.

"Come back, it's cold outside, you see you've only passed a few clothes, aren't you afraid that you will be frozen into ice sculptures?" Shao Yingying said this line with the authoritarian demeanor inherent in Chinese parents in the DV of the hotel.

"Oh, little ancestor, what can you do if you eat the rice in the bowl? And it won't hold it to death. You can't even feed the cat enough to eat that little thing, I tell you sù, no one will cook for you when you are hungry for a while. He said this line again with the almost complaining demeanor of the Chinese parents.

Shao Yingying has accurately found the difference between Huaxia parents and Mi Guochang in so many materials, that is, Huaxia parents pay the most to their children in any aspect, the difference is that Huaxia parents always have a kind of toughness that does not allow refusal, even small things such as eating, dressing, and sleeping are controlled with subjective thoughts, and adult thinking is used to avoid children suffering from something that should not happen, and even at the expense of being unreasonable, and being tough on implementation.

This just shows that if you don't say you don't love, you love too much, or when you don't know how to love, you love too much.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yingying faced the camera with the saddest stage, he closed his eyes hard, kept clenching his trembling body, and his mouth suddenly opened and closed, using this facial expression to show that he had not found any trace of the child after searching for a long time.

When these three plays were finished, Shao Yingying took the DV out one by one to check, the first two felt very on point, but when it came to the last one, he always felt that the play was a bit too much, shouldn't he use this form to express the sadness of the child after he lost it?

At this time, Shao Yingying picked up the phone and called his father who was far away in Huaxia: "Dad." ”

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?" ”

Very concise and straightforward.

"Let me ask you a question, do you remember when I was seven or eight years old, I went fishing on the edge of the pond with my neighbor's two dogs, and then I was tired of playing and slept in someone's shack all night?"

"Eight." The old man remembers it very clearly.

Shao Yingying smiled: "Okay, you beat me up when I went home the next day." said that after looking for a night, the family was almost scared to death, do you remember how you felt at the time? ”

"Can you forget that?"

After saying this sentence strongly, the other side was silent for a while. Obviously, the old man still has to recall: "We didn't have a telephone in the countryside at that time, and the children went out to play like eagles that flew out, and they didn't know where they flew at all, but they didn't worry about it at that time, you were very obedient when you were a child, and you went home on time every day to eat." I don't know what happened that day, and I didn't come back at seven o'clock in the evening. ”

"Your mother and I can still stay in the house, carrying flashlights all over the village at night. The children who played well with you searched all over the house, even in the field. found that at two o'clock in the evening, your mother was really tired and couldn't walk, so she rested at your third aunt's house. Originally, it was not easy to disturb in the middle of the night, and relatives came out to look for you. But when you really can't find it, who cares about face, everyone in the village I know, don't care about any friendship, basically get it, most of the people in the village have been looking for you for a whole night. ”

"Dad, did you ever feel that your child was lost and couldn't be found?"

The old man's voice came again: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"I'm going to act in a play, and there is a part of the play where the child is lost and looking for the child, I haven't experienced it, no. I can only call and ask you. ”

"Oh."

The old man agreed: "I and the village chief, that is, before your second uncle of the old Wu family meets." I hadn't thought about it that way, but when we met, I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart, and the village chief said that the village had searched from south to north and from east to west six times, and even the pigsty of each family had been turned over. At that time, my whole body was wooden, and for the first time, I felt that the son I had raised for eight years might have been lost. ”

"Are you crying?"

"Nope."

The old man continued: "I have been finding the dawn. ”

"Dad, I'm really used for acting, you just keep looking for it, haven't you figured out something?"

"How can you think about it? At that time, I even rummaged through the firewood stacks at the door of every house in the village, and later you played with other people and hid in the cat and fell asleep. The old man said this and added: "To say that there is, there is also a bit of abnormality, at that time I was holding my breath in my heart and always felt that I did not let go, when the day was about to dawn, the little wild dog in our village ran past my feet, I don't know what's wrong, and kicked the dog to the wall." ”

Shao Yingying grabbed a little feeling and continued: "After you go home, what is the state of you two with my mother, have you hugged your head and cried or something?" ”

"You've watched too many TV series, can I cry? Do I dare to cry? The old man sighed: "When I went home, your mother was sent back by your third aunt, tired lying on the kang looking at the ceiling with tears flowing, anxiously humming on the kang, if I entered the house and cried, I guess your mother would not live." I can only persuade your mother, don't you have to think about finding you after persuading? ”

"Who would have thought that I had just persuaded your mother to lie down and rest, and your heartless and happy person would enter the house, and when you entered the house, you shouted that you were hungry and asked if there was anything to eat, and I wanted to break your teeth for you at that time......"

Shao Yingying held the phone and laughed straight away, the troubles of the year are now recalled, and it is still very tasteful.

"Actually, there are some things you don't know until now, when you come back, your mother and I carry egg baskets to deliver eggs door to door to thank people for their help, you don't know how many white eyes we suffered, your second uncle also said, this child has to be beaten hard, or he can poke a hole in the sky in the future." Don't look at me beating you, when your second uncle said you, I was unhappy in my heart, and I said in my heart, 'It's not your son, you don't want to beat you up, this is finally back, and then let me beat you twice in a row to run away, and I can't find the right to cry when the time comes'. ”

The old man said that he was happy, and then he remembered and asked: "What did you just say you were going to film?" ”

Gotta patronize it and enjoy it, it's all over what I just said.

"A play about missing children, in which three children are represented, because these three children have been widely reported by the media, and some departments dedicated to the search for lost children have been established." He didn't say it that much, and he couldn't explain many words to the old man clearly.

"Oh, why don't you come to shoot it? In our country, so many children can't be found back every year, so that "The Legal System in Progress" is always broadcast and abducted, and as soon as the TV show is played, your mother will tell me about the fact that you were lost at the beginning, and my ears are calloused, otherwise I remember it so clearly. ”

Shao Yingying explained again: "It is precisely because people have it, but our country does not, that I plan to release it in our country after filming here." ”

"Good boy, you finally did something that I can afford to look down on, okay, you are busy with you, I see my eldest grandson gone."

Hearing that the phone was hung up on the other side, Shao Yingying smiled again at the phone that was taken from his ear.

In the past, when he was in his youth, he always felt that the thinking of Chinese parents was too rotten, and it was not as open as abroad, and what parents thought about was that their children would go to school, become talents, marry a wife, and have children, that is to say, they would have to experience the days of being managed by their parents, being managed by their daughters-in-law, and being worried about by their children for a lifetime, which is far less than raising children abroad to have their own comfortable lives after the age of 18. But can you really look at it that way with openness or not? Is this a conservative question?

Not really.

Huaxia's father, who lives a family, is the pillar of the family, more often he needs to resist, even if the child is lost, he can't express his sadness, he is afraid that his sadness will become cowardice in the eyes of his wife, so that his wife has no hope. At this time, he would rather hold all the qiē in his heart, because no matter whether the child comes back or not, he has to support this family.

With the guidance of the old man, Shao Yingying already has a prototype in his mind, this prototype is none other than his own father, as long as some rice elements are added to this prototype, this first-generation immigrant will immediately become plump.

Shao Yingying deleted the clip of his own performance in the DV, and this scene is over.

He slowly fell into the path of thought, his mind was full of the shadow of the performance, and he had to think very precisely about which paragraph to handle, and when the emotional explosion came, this prepared framework would be completely removed, and his performance would become a volcanic eruption-like natural flow.

I don't know how long Shao Yingying, who has been thinking about it, feels that he has a spectrum in his heart after opening his eyes, even if he still can't play Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington now, it is absolutely impossible to be thrown away from the gap that is enough to make people laugh.

Now, there is only one question left, that is, how to make the audience understand the behavior of a Chinese father, instead of looking at the behavior of a Chinese father and feeling pedantic or even unreasonable. If it could be better, maybe it could be performed so that the audience in the United States sighed after watching this movie: "Oh, it turns out that Huaxia's father uses this way to express his love." "That's perfect. (To be continued......)
