Winter arrived, and the first snow fell in the capital, and the snow covered the entire city, and the city, ruled by steel, concrete, and car exhaust, finally had a little bit of nature under the snow.

Shao Yingying has locked himself in his home for two weeks, and he has been looking at things on the computer for the past two weeks, among which the most concerned are "Looking for a Gun" and "Kangxi Dynasty".

These two plays have not yet appeared, but these two plays are the works of Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming. If you want to understand an actor, and if you want to cooperate closely with the actors you know during the filming of "Blade 1937", you must have a certain understanding of them. Therefore, Shao Yingying started to do his homework four months in advance, what he wanted was foolproof, and what he wanted was that when he appeared in front of insiders again, Shao Yingying was no longer Feng Biao in "Conquest", and he proved his level with a shocking performance.

……

Zhang Wan also did not relax during Shao Yingying's efforts, he went to almost all the big bookstores in the capital to find the two books he needed for Shao Yingying, but unfortunately, he didn't find any of them. In the end, he called Wang Zhongjun directly and asked for information about "Looking for a Gun" and "Emperor Kangxi". Although Zhang Wan couldn't understand why Shao Yingying suddenly wanted these two books, he could guess that this must be related to Shao Yingying's acting career, the most unfortunate, and also related to Shao Yingying's screenwriting career, as long as it has something to do with these two, then there is nothing that Wang Zhongjun doesn't know.

In the process of inquiry, Wang Zhongjun hesitated a little, and the answer he gave was that the book "The Emperor Kangxi" did not exist at all, and the script written by Februaryhe was called "Kangxi Dynasty", which has not yet been completed, Chen Daoming is still in the crew as the first emperor of the ages, and "Looking for a Gun" is another script, this script is still under discussion, and has not entered the group building process, Hua Yi just bought out the copyright.

This time it was Zhang Wan's turn to be surprised, he couldn't figure out who Shao Yingying was, even if "Kangxi Dynasty" might leak some rumors, "Looking for a Gun" was unlikely to leak into Shao Yingying's ears.

In the end, Zhang Wan took the two scripts from Huayi, and when Wang Zhongjun told him not to leak them.

……

With the script, Shao Yingying was like a heavenly help, alone in the cold after the snow, watching the script and the computer study Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming's performances frame by frame under the air conditioner, at that moment, he seemed to have discovered a treasure trove, a glittering treasure trove.

In the movie "Looking for a Gun", Jiang Wen vividly expresses the word 'abrupt', from the panic of finding a lost gun to the horror when solving a case to the pause of reciting lines when encountering an emergency. But those performances in Shao Yingying's view, one more point is too much, and one point less is insufficient, this is a waiter who has worked in a candy store for a long time grabbed a fruit candy, saying that it is two taels can never be two taels and one money scale mastery.

After listing the evaluations of Jiang Wen's performance, Shao Yingying began to ask himself why Jiang Wen was able to perform so clearly, so clear that it gave the audience a feeling of seeing the whole thing happen and move forward.

This question is a bit difficult, and the ashtray in Shao Yingying's house was stuffed with cigarette farts again and again along with his thoughts, and after the three cigarettes in reserve all turned into blue mist during the two stars, he found the answer.

When the woman asked the man why he didn't return at night, the man's answer was a little slow, and after the delay, the woman was a little stumbling in the woman's strong questioning eyes: "Drink, drink too much...... Who hasn't drunk too much, how can you hear the phone when you drink too much, and who knows where you live if you drink too much? If my buddies hadn't settled me into their house, I would have slept on the road. ”

What Shao Yingying cares about is definitely not who is right and who is wrong between these two people, what he cares about is the man's reaction. The pause when he couldn't respond proved that he was thinking, and the subsequent stumble was a little too late to deal with the other party's questioning, the lie in his mind had not yet turned into words, and the final smoothness was the relief after finally finding a reason.

Jiang Wen took this to the limit, and he even brought this feeling to the other actors in the gun-hunting crew, as long as the whole process of questioning, pausing, thinking, and stumbling lies continues, Jiang Wen's performance will immediately reflect one word, true!

Once the performance is real, it will be just right, because we have seen this expression in life, we seem to know each other, so, he acted well!

Shao Yingying seems to have grasped the knack of attracting audiences, which is the ultimate in pure Chinese performance.

If Sun Honglei's performance is a unique combination of European and American performances and oriental performances, then Jiang Wen is a genius born with oriental acting skills, this genius has been playing the male lead since his debut until the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", which is so uncontroversial.

Yes, in order to study the ginger pattern, Shao Yingying also watched the bullet fly, and there are obviously many lines that are improvised, but the ginger pattern is seamless, and his acting skills are like the dirt on the majestic mountains, which can smooth the gaps between all the stubborn stones.

is like Sister Hua in "Let the Bullets Fly" to be a bandit, Zhang Mazi said that there is no need to prepare, when Liao Fan took Zhang Mazi's words "What the eldest brother said is right", he added a sentence "What I just said is also right", and the script added after this is definitely not, because Jiang Wen turned his head twice during the performance, and the second time with a slight expression, the whole performance was like a big brother's helplessness in the face of the naughtiness of his brothers, but Shao Yingying knew that this helplessness was definitely because there was no such sentence in the lines. Jiang Wen is so smooth in the sudden situation, and he can continue to connect the plot, for such a stable actor, there is no need for praise, he is there.

Compared with Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming is definitely an alternative, Chen Daoming, whose family is either a doctor or a teacher, is born with an elegant bookish atmosphere, but this bookish atmosphere is a little out of shape, the wildness that has been exercised the day after tomorrow, anyone can see it in the performance, this is an actor who can create any situation and suppress any opponent.

Chen Daoming's performance in "Kangxi Dynasty" was dreamlike, and Shao Yingying was even more fascinated by it, but comparing the performance with the script, Shao Yingying almost stared out his eyes, this is a guy who is always performing outside the circle.

There is a scene in "Kangxi Dynasty" where Kangxi faced his captured son in the warm pavilion, which was supposed to be the sorrow of Kangxi, who was supposed to be a hero, when he saw his son so wretched, which made Chen Daoming angry, especially with a slap in the face, and said lines that were not in the script at all in anger. This slap and anger are absolutely absent in the original work, Shao Yingying has taken the script and compared it many times!

Also, Kangxi roared at the ministers at the court meeting in the Jinluan Palace: "If one of you is rotten, the Qing Dynasty will be rotten, if you are all rotten, the Qing Dynasty will rise up everywhere, and we will all die without a place to bury." Chongzhen has only been hanging in the coal mountain for a few years, and the old crooked neck tree is still watching you! ”

This was originally Kangxi punishing corruption, but Chen Daoming didn't follow the lines at all, he didn't say anything after performing alone, but even said what was in his heart, everything was expressed through the play, and it was completely in line with the plot.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shao Yingying's mouth when he saw Chen Daoming's performance, he really didn't know what Gao Qunshu should do when he met such an actor, and now he finally understood why Chen Daoming asked during the meeting: "Are you sure you want to use me?" Looking back now, Chen Daoming's last expression seemed to say: "You deserve to be unlucky." ”

In two months, Shao Yingying spent a full two months studying these two actors, and through these two months of research, he found that tough guys not only have to have a temperament, but also have their own taste.

The taste here is not to be smelled, but to let the audience in front of the screen taste it themselves. Sun Honglei's wildness, Jiang Wen's calmness, Chen Daoming's out-of-the-circle and elegance, each of these flavors will add some characteristics to the temperament, which is the key to locking the audience's attention.

Shao Yingying's efforts for "Blade 1937" Anyway, he actually invited an octogenarian who had never left Whampoa in his life to come to the capital through Zhang Wan, and he wanted to listen to the old man tell the story close to that era, even if it is a legend, this old man who is closer to that era is more reliable than the story in the book.

In the next two months, Shao Yingying has been listening to stories, listening to the legends of the major bosses of Huangpu, and listening to the intrigue under the Huangpu table.

Another month has passed, and Shao Yingying is busy like a spinning top, but in Zhang Wan's eyes, Shao Yingying has become an otaku, an otaku who stays at home and doesn't even want to work.

"Mr. Wang, are we mistaken? I didn't taste anything surprising about this Shao Yingying, except for the first meeting, he kept himself at home. ”

"Xiao Zhang, judging whether a person has potential and whether it is worth cultivating is not based on how ordinary he is on weekdays, the key is to see how the person gets rid of the ordinary at a critical moment."

This is a phone call from Zhang Wan to Wang Zhongjun after four months of idleness, and the two of them only said one sentence on the phone, but Shao Yingying's future threshold has been set, whether he can succeed or not is the key to whether the future star road is open.

The reason why Wang Zhongjun insisted on giving Shao Yingying a chance was precisely because Shao Yingying was silent for three whole months, and during these three months, he did not ask the company for a single notice, which is by no means the attitude that an active artist should have. A Shao hero who can be so calm and burst out all his strength through the play "Blade 1937" makes Wang Zhongjun look forward to it.

……

Tick, tick, tick.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, Shao Yingying, who was still busy, didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer people on the roads in the capital, but he found that his phone was ringing.

Shao Yingying, who was still studying acting skills in front of the computer, pressed the connect button when he saw the unfamiliar number on the phone: "Hey? ”

"Happy New Year, screenwriter Shao, I'm Wu Rustbo. Well, that's what happened, I have to apologize first, I woke up late on the day of the meeting, I didn't make it, and when I get there, you're all gone. ”

Wu Rustbo? Isn't this the general he personally ordered, the one who wants to play Don Wert?

Before Shao Yingying could ask why, Meng Wu himself explained: "Actually, it's not a special thing that I'm late, I have been thinking about it when I was taking a shower the night before, what should I do at the meeting, so the bath time is a bit long, I washed for four hours, and slept directly until four o'clock in the afternoon the next day......"

Burst!

Shao Yingying has already sprayed, and it is the first time he has heard of people who can take a bath for four hours.

No, Shao Yingying felt that something was wrong, shouldn't he be very angry when he heard all this? Why did Wu Rust say a few words, and he didn't feel angry at all?

"You mean, you apologize to me after three months without any contact for what happened three months ago?"

There was an embarrassed laugh on the other end of the phone: "That's not what I mean, I, in fact, have already apologized to others, listening to Fu Biao, did you strongly recommend me to play Tang Weitt, or in such a big scene, I thought about apologizing to you with a little sincerity, plus I am a grinding person, how to apologize for three months...... Hahahaha, no, looking at the New Year, I learned from the old man that you are a foreigner, if you don't go home, or come to our house for the New Year, I will apologize to you. Wu Rubo on the phone actually laughed at himself, and the end of that hanger was really difficult to repeat.

Shao Yingying couldn't hold it back, and leaned back and smiled on the other end of the phone, it was the first time he had heard of such an apology, but he was sure that this person could bring Don Wert to life completely.

"Also, this and this...... Yuanyuan came to me a few days ago, and she also wanted to prepare, the person who can best grasp the psychology of the characters must be the screenwriter, or let's get together during the New Year? ”
