Chapter 11 The Self-cultivation of Actors

Scholar Li Huo looked at the square that walked in slowly, and the anger on his face slowly receded. He asked in a low voice, "Why did you come so slowly, do you know that I was waiting for you here in a hurry." It's not that you don't know that I am a good actor, an artist, and a soul worker who lives by acting. For me, my life is to perform, to perform all the time, to perform is my life, to be my life. So, I'm very eager to know how well I just performed, what was the audience's reaction, did they find any flaws in my performance? How important is this feedback to me? Don't you know? It's not that you don't understand? My heart is burning on a fire, and I'm disappointed by how you're doing! I expect so much from you, but what about you? What are you doing? I'm so disappointed in you!"

Li Huo looked at the square who was still not speaking, swallowed a mouthful of his saliva vigorously, and continued: "I used the Stanislavsky performance system. He asked us actors to immerse ourselves in the emotions of the characters, to discover and experience the emotional moments experienced by each character. Using this method of acting, our actors create characters with multiple levels of realism and a subtle connection between the character's actions and inner thoughts. So how important is the audience's response to me? You still don't know? ”

Looking at the already drowsy square, looking at the saliva flowing from the corner of the square's mouth, Li Huo suddenly drank loudly: "Do you know, I'm a Stanislavsky performance system." He asked us actors to immerse ourselves in the emotions of the characters, to discover and experience each ...... played."

Awakened, Fang hurriedly said, "Master, what you just said is really good." It's as intoxicating as music! Like the mountains and flowing water, it is breathtaking. It makes me feel like a warm breeze, blowing warmly into my heart. I feel every corner of my soul. All purified and spotless. I and my soul seem to be ennobled. I seem to have stood on the shoulders of giants, and I can look down on every corner of the whole world. And you, master, are my shoulders, the shoulders of my giants. I would like to sing God's hymn to you, because you have left the realm of mortals and entered the world of God. ”

Li Huo triumphantly listened to the square sycophants, and then pretended to be angry and said: "Please call me Teacher Li or Professor Li, that uneducated monk is your master." How can I, an artistic representative of such a cultured and outstanding youth, be in harmony with your master and the like! Calling me master, that is the biggest insult to me, that is the attack on Chi Guoguo's life, the most vicious blow to me, the most shameless and hypocritical villain to ......."

Fang hurriedly interrupted Li Huo, who was about to be about to be endless, and hurriedly said flatteringly: "Okay, dear Teacher Li, Professor Li!" What you just said is something I will never forget. Just now, I didn't wait for all the people on my master's side, that is, all the audience in your mouth, to finish, and after making sure that I got all the emotional feedback from each of them, the most authentic, I rushed to you as soon as possible. Look at my white sweat, I'm not afraid that you will be in a hurry? I'm not afraid that you will be dissatisfied and unhappy, and I will not do my best? ”

"Then why are you walking so slowly? How long are you going? ”

"Didn't you say that life is all about acting? According to the words of the driver, when there is no audience, the show has actually begun! The slow walk I had just made was a continuation of my previous role as a prodigy. I'm still performing, I'm still seriously expressing, my elegance and solemnity as a god who knows astronomy and geography! And don't you see it? When I got to the third step, the frequency of my hand swinging increased by 12.93 percent? I used my swing arm to show my own inner excitement, my anxiety and my urgency. ”

"Don't give me all this nonsense, tell me how I performed just now, did I get everyone's approval? Don't you see the flaws in my performance? What was the response? ”

"Master! No, teacher, I didn't say you, your performance just now was too performative, and I cried a little too much! The performance is too pompous to perform for the sake of the show! If you don't have a heartfelt performance, I can't even watch it. I don't think you'll be able to perform like that next time. The highest level of an actor is acting without acting. You're acting for the sake of acting! It's so bad!"

"What? What did you say? Am I not good at acting? Didn't I care? Come on, come on, you say, I'll listen!"

"First of all, your clothes are too clean, there is not the slightest trace of paper and ink! The texture of the clothes is so thin that even the red panties inside are exposed! How? Is Master Teacher going to show us Victoria's Secret? I was almost out of the play. I think the audience would laugh if they found out about it. Think about it, if the audience laughs, how will you play the next play? Your failure is inevitable. ”

"You go on, you go on and say I'll hear what else?"

"The second thing is your clothes, the clothes you chose are too new, and there is not a little wrinkle on them. The embroidery on the clothes is too rich, the materials used are too good and too expensive, and it is the high-end goods of the silk village in the east of the city! ”

"What's wrong with the clothes being so good? Isn't it okay? I'm paying a lot of money, is that wrong? ”

"But the clothes are good, and the incense money you gave is too little! For a scholar, being able to take the imperial examination for high school is one of the four joyful events in life. You dress so well, the good things you encounter are so important, but the incense money you give is so little! What does this mean? ”

"What does that mean?"

This shows that although you are grateful to me, this gratitude is very small, so little that you will only give a small amount of money to express your gratitude for this matter! So, in the end, it feels like you're not appreciating this at all for what I've shown you. And ......"

"And, what else?"

"And then there is your excuse, your excuse turned out to be the imperial examination high school. This is even more bizarre! What dynasty is it now? In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, in this current era, the imperial examination has not yet begun? The imperial examination will not appear until you are a hundred years from now! In addition, what are the three rankings of Jinshi! Cut! Sanbang Jinshi is something that will not be available until the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later! What nonsense did you just say! Didn't you hear the monk's recitation of the Sutra change from the simple 'Three Character Sutra' to the 'Heart Sutra' that would not appear until a few decades later, and you scared him out of his mind...... Do you dare to say that you acted well? How much do you have to think like this? ”

"I thought there would be an imperial examination as long as it was ancient times! So I added some drama to myself to make the characters more three-dimensional. Now it seems that if I say too much, I will lose it, and I have added some of my paintings. ”

"Aren't you a person of this era, where have you gone all these years of experience and experience, have you lived in the air all these years, are you a god, don't you eat fireworks in the world? How can you not know what happened or should happen to your own dynasty and your present self? ”

Li Huo looked at the square and thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Yes, I am from this era, how could I forget?" I have so much stuff in my head right now, and some very strange thoughts and words pop up from time to time, is there something wrong with me? Or am I already confused? I'm already lost in my world, my time is out of order? Or am I already lost, like a lost petrel, flying proudly in the ocean of history, with the fluctuations of time? I ......"

Fang Fang looked at Li Huo, looking at the rich excited expression on his face, and couldn't help interrupting Li Huo's speech again: "Hey! Teacher, don't say that! The main reason why you are like this now is me! In fact, the biggest trouble in your life is that you are thinking and thinking too much ahead of everyone else! The feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone is actually the most terrible feeling in life! After my mother woke up, she went to the yamen as soon as possible, and she was going to commit suicide and martyrdom! She was not a non-formal person before, she was a normal woman! And my father didn't die! What kind of widow? But isn't she a freak who has become a god chattering and doesn't know what to do all day long? ”

"Don't blame your mother, it's true that you have left too many things in our minds, and we can't accept it for a while! What you have to do is of great significance, we will definitely help you to complete it, a few of us seem crazy now, but in fact, deep down we know very well what we are going to do! ”

"What? Do you know what you're going to do? The square said angrily and loudly: "My mother hanged herself every once in a while, so what do you know what she does?" The monk treats me as a prophet and cheats people out of money, this is called knowing what you do, you are helping the monk to be an extras every day, this is called knowing what you do? Are you fools or am I fools? Look at the father and son of the Fang family, look at the Taoist liars, look at the people, that is the one who really knows what he is doing! Look at you guys! I'm! ”

After Li Huo listened to what Fang said, the depressed expression on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a sly smile!

"Child, you are still young, you wait, you will soon know the intentions of the three of us! What we do, sometimes we feel scared when we think about it! ”

"Then you scare me first! I want to be scared of you! ”

"Do you know who I am? Who am I? ”

"Your pseudonym is Li Huo, and your real name is Li Mi! You once had the opportunity to become the Yellow Nest of our time, the grass of a giant bull! But look at the way you look now! You're just an unpopular, third-rate actor now! ”

"Hey! If people know their future, it's really boring! ”

"Come on! Tell me your secrets! ”

"Good! The three of us don't think it makes sense to think about your previous thoughts, you just need to find that little Taoist priest, tell him the truth of the matter, and tell him what he can do and what he can't do! Tell him what to do when he is two years old, what to do when he is four years old, what to do when he is eight years old, what to do when he is sixteen, you just have to tell him four sentences and you will be able to complete your task! A few of us felt that the task would be too easy to do, so we made the task more complicated, and we changed the task, and we decided to make it a little more complicated to make it more difficult for you! We didn't complete the task you gave us before, and we didn't tell the Taoist priest what we wanted to do. You still have a year to complete your previous set-up, and hopefully you can make it! ”

Looking at Li Huo's eyes that gradually became fanatical, Fang Fang's heart trembled, revealing a look of anxiety on his face: "Don't you know that you can only move and live according to your previous activity trajectory, and your slightest change in history will cause a devastating blow to the entire course of history!" The less we do, the better, are you crazy? The more we do, the more changes we make, and the more we remedy, the more we produce additional changes that arise from remediating something. ”

"Aren't we crazy! We're actually crazy the moment you activate our brains! We want to create a new perfect era for us, we want to be the masters of this era, and our own future is up to us! I seem to hear the cries of my future king of the world! Listen! People are cheering loudly, they are shouting my name, my name will stand in the east of the world, become a legend! ”

"Teacher, are you sick? If you do that, this world and this era will be doomed! ”

Looking at the square face that was already pale, Li Huo laughed out loud: "Actually, we can't do anything, we shouldn't do anything!" I want to be a bird that flies, I want to fly to the highest peaks, I want to ......"

"Teacher, stop talking nonsense, what the hell are you going to say? Your Shakespearean recitation can stop for a moment! ”

"Hey! I didn't lie to you, we can only complete the task according to your method, and our life will go on as tasteless as boiled water! My heart is cold, and my feelings are starting to turn cold! I! ”

"Master, teacher, the sky has changed, the wind is rising, I'll close the window first! What do you think? Isn't it cold! ”

"Then I'm going to have to ask, how is my performance today? Is it really that unbearable? ”

"Nope! Your three-point performance is full of skills! The performance is simply amazing! ”

"You said that it would be fine! Let's think about what's next! We have only one main problem now, those two key people, which we still don't have easy access to! According to the historical introduction of the person you provided earlier, he should be on our Vientiane street in the next few days, so let's get ready! ”

"Yes, when I was a Taoist priest, I will appear here like a comet, shaking the world, and disappearing again in a year, we have to prepare well!"

"You deal with yourself yourself, and you and him are really pathetic! It would have been the pride of an era, but he was going to do nothing, hey! ”

"Teacher, it's really windy, I feel very cold and tired!"

"Yes! It's been a change! The two-year-old Taoist priest would have shouted 'King Jiabai' when Tang Emperor Li Yuan went to the Shangqing Palace to offer incense, but his words were disturbed by my shouting! So he, who was supposed to become a generation of Taoist masters, was simply erased by us! So that little Taoist priest as you can only wait for the next opportunity. ”

"There is no chance, give him a chance, we don't have a chance. All of them have no chance. ”

"The world is a stage, and all men and women are just actors, and they all have their time to go on the stage, and they all have their time to play. There are several roles that a person plays in his or her life. ”

"Teacher, I don't think it's a bit off-topic to say Shakespeare's famous quotes now."

"Don't wander under the trees, don't meditate in the rain, don't weep in the dark. Look ahead, don't look back, as long as you have the courage to face it and raise your head, you will find that the haze at this moment is just a short rainy season. Looking ahead, there is still a bright sky that does not make people feel hesitant. ”

"Teacher, I'm here to let you come up with ideas, not to make you recite aphorisms."

"The appearance is often completely inconsistent with the thing itself, and the world is easily deceived by superficial decoration. Without comparison, there is no strength; Without appreciation, the crow's song is the same as that of a lark. If the nightingale sings in the noise during the day, no one thinks it is more beautiful than a wren. How many things can be achieved in a favorable environment and win a proper appreciation. ”

"Teacher, can you say something human?"

"To live or to perish, it's a question worth considering. Which of these two acts is more noble, silently enduring the tyrannical poisonous arrows of fate, or standing up against the boundless suffering of the world, and sweeping them away through struggle? Dead, asleep, everything is over. ”

"I'm sorry teacher, I bothered you to memorize your lines, you are busy first, and I will go. I went to see the little Taoist priest and see how he got down the mountain. See how he's doing, how is he doing? ”

"There is a man who lives, and he is dead; Some people are dead, and he is still alive. Some people rode on the heads of the people: "Oh, how great I am!" Some people bent down to serve the people as cattle and horses. Some people carve their names in stone and want to "decay"; Some people are willing to be weeds and wait for the fire to burn. There are people

If he lives, no one else can live;

Some people live for the better life of the majority. Whoever rides on the head of the people, the people throw him down; He who was a cow and a horse for the people, the people will always remember him! Those who carve names in stone rot earlier than corpses; As long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere. If he lives, others can't live, his fate can be seen; He lived for the better life of the majority, and the masses lifted him very high, very high. “

"The master is right, I really should see if the Taoist priest will be played to death by his master immediately, I have to go immediately, I'll go now, goodbye master......"

Looking at the square that had fled from the desert, Li Huo couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed.
