Chapter 394. Role comprehension
Is this really an art exam?
Guo Jing muttered inwardly, but he had also thought about these questions before, so he said.
"What's unique about this character is that he's a man of faith."
Seeing that Xu Rui and Zheng Weijie's expressions did not change, Guo Jing added.
"This belief is not a god, but a belief in truth, a belief in hope, judging from the script in my hand, the mountain village in this story is ignorant and desolate, and this teacher, who has seen the prosperity of the big city, still chooses to return here, he is not for money and fame, but just wants to bring hope to the children in the village like his own teacher."
Guo Jing had never dealt with a real rural teacher, but when he was in high school, a teacher at the school felt that way.
He worked hard for a few low-achieving children from the suburbs, who could not help him increase his indicators of getting into the key line, and in fact, he would not reap any benefits from these children other than gratitude.
But that teacher did it anyway, and every class.
One of the students is Guo Jing's classmate, many years later, at the class reunion, he also talked to that classmate about it, the other party stayed in Jingping, and had his own happy family, he was very grateful to the teacher, said.
"Sometimes, you really can't see a little light around you, that feeling of being stuck in a quagmire, and even the person who reaches out to you will be dragged down by you, but at this time, someone lights a light for you, this feeling is indescribable, as if life suddenly has hope."
That classmate is still very grateful to the teacher, every year on Teacher's Day, he will go back to school to visit, he himself does his best to help others in his usual life, very popular, no one would have thought that in high school, he is still the tail of the crane that no one wants to talk to.
"For example, in this line, the teacher taught the students Newton's three laws, to be honest, when I first read it, I was very confused, these students may not need this knowledge for the rest of their lives, why should he talk about it at the end of his life."
Guo Jing said his feelings, Zheng Weijie and Xu Rui were no longer in his eyes, and he just put his thoughts into the plot.
"But then I read the script a few more times before I really understood, just like the knowledge we had when we were students, in fact, more than 80% of it would not be used in daily life, do you need to use calculus to buy groceries, do you need to know English to eat, it is impossible to fly to the universe in this life, what is the use of learning gravity?"
He smiled and continued.
"These things, not so much pure knowledge, are more of a kind of thought, telling us how vast, how complex, how difficult the world is, but at the same time, it tells us that this vast and boundless world can be understood, I think the teacher in the script is also teaching knowledge with this belief, he doesn't want children to be trapped in this poor and ignorant mountain village for the rest of their lives, and wants to plant a seed in their hearts."
It is with this understanding that Guo Jing made some interpretations of the performance, such as the last class, he was not weak and powerless, but with a trace of firmness and excitement, this last class is not a painful tragedy, but an epic of wrestling with fate.
After listening to Guo Jing's words, Xu Rui nodded.
"Thank you for your cooperation, and that's the end of our audition for today."
Guo Jing smiled.
"Actually, I want to thank you, from this role, I feel the real power."
He thanked him and left, leaving Zheng Weijie and Xu Rui in the room.
"It's almost time, let's talk while we eat."
Xu Rui looked at the time and pointed to the cafeteria.
......
"Although Mr. Chen's acting skills are excellent, his personal image is a little too prominent, and I feel that when I see it, it is like seeing some leading emperor."
After lunch, in the office of Phantom Media, Zheng Weijie and Xu Rui were discussing the issue of roles.
"Well, he's still not very suitable for this type of role."
Xu Rui nodded and looked at the image played back on the computer screen.
The audition process will be recorded by the camera for later reference, and several people have seen several of them, and they all feel that they are lacking.
"Xiao Yilong's estimate is not good, his lack of acting skills is secondary, and his personal temperament can't make people believe that this is a rural teacher."
Zheng Weijie looked at the camera of the popular traffic star and shook his head.
"This seems pretty good."
They looked a few backwards and finally landed on Guo Jing's audition image.
"His appearance is relatively simple, and he can bring a rustic atmosphere with a little makeup, and the most important thing is that he is very expressive, although he has no personal characteristics, but he unexpectedly fits the role."
Zheng Weijie analyzed that Guo Jing's performance did have an amazing feeling, as if standing in front of them was not an actor, but a real rural teacher.
"I also think he's good, especially about the teacher's thinking, when I haven't seen the whole script, I can think of such an extent, it's really hard."
Xu Rui also remembered Guo Jing's answer before, Xu Rui asked these questions to every actor who came to audition, and he wanted to see how these actors understood the role.
Some people answer that it is a tragic protagonist, others answer that it is a humble and small character, and some people think that it is a supporting role.
After all, judging from the script, this character really doesn't look like the protagonist of a movie.
But this is indeed the protagonist.
What Xu Rui wants to present is not the kind of tragic character who is difficult and difficult and makes people cry, nor is it an ordinary and humble dragon trick whose fate is like a mustard, but a teacher who truly shines the brilliance of ideals and hope into the hearts of children.
After thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Xu Rui and Zheng Weijie decided to let Guo Jing play this role.
When he received a call from his agent, Guo Jing was packing up his things at home and preparing to go back to his parents for the Spring Festival.
"What ???"
Guo Jing's first reaction was that his agent was joking.
"Really, the specific content of the cooperation is estimated to be determined after the year, so you should have time."
The broker confirmed.
"Yes, you don't know best if I have time."
Guo Jing was suddenly a little excited, not because he had a role to play, but because this role was really won by himself from the hands of an old drama bone and Xiao Xianrou by his strength.
This is an affirmation of his career as an actor for so many years.
"Okay, I replied to them, you can spend the New Year at home with peace of mind, and I will contact you after the New Year."
"Okay, I'll give you a meal then."
Hanging up the phone, Guo Jing subconsciously clenched his fist and waved it twice.
It's a good feeling of hope.
