Chapter 5 Pranayama

Xu Zheng said to Gu Cancan with a serious and formal expression, and said that he had something to say to Gu Cancan, what would happen to Gu Cancan's heart?

Could it be that Xu Zheng wants to quit, won't he be so pitiful?

It shouldn't be, the contracts have been signed, and Xu Zheng will definitely not smash his signboard.

Just when Gu Cancan was thinking crankily in his heart, he heard Xu Zheng say: "Cancan, when you are acting, for example, when you are acting, I found a problem when you are in the lines, your rhythm is not very good. ”

"Huh?" Gu Cancan blinked, not quite understanding.

The two said as they walked, Xu Zheng intended to mention Gu Cancan, and he said to Gu Cancan: "To be honest, your performance can pass, but you can do better." You probably haven't studied the basics of acting, right? ”

Gu Cancan nodded slightly: "It's true, I just read some books." ”

"I suggest you start with basic breathing." Xu Zheng said slowly: "The reason why you sing is that your breath is long and sufficient, and your voice is very textured and beautiful. But when you say the lines, you can hear it, and you can't control it yet, which is the rhythm is unstable. ”

Gu Cancan was thoughtful.

Xu Zheng had been paying attention to Gu Cancan's expression when he spoke, and saw that there was no unhappy look on her face, but contemplation, and nodded silently, Gu Cancan's attitude was very modest, which he still appreciated.

"Teacher Xu, you're right, how can I improve?" Gu Cancan raised his own questions.

Xu Zheng said with a smile: "The knowledge in this is great, in fact, the accent, the pause, and the coherence comprehensively affect the final presentation effect of the lines." If you want, I can teach you an hour after filming every day. ”

"That's a good feeling." Gu Cancan was overjoyed.

In terms of acting, Gu Cancan also wanted to find a teacher to teach her, but some time ago she was busy learning the knowledge of directing, and she really couldn't find time to learn acting.

Today, Xu Zheng offered to teach her to act, Xu Zheng's acting skills are obvious to all in the circle, and Gu Cancan is very happy.

After lunch, continue shooting.

It's a scene in a supermarket, but the filming isn't going fast.

The actors did not join the group today, and the filming was all scenes of Gu Cancan, Qiao Renliang, and Xu Zheng.

Gu Cancan is the first time to be a director, obviously the real filming is different from what she imagined, it is not so simple.

Situations often occur.

Even if it is Xu Zheng, there will be situations such as forgetting words and laughing.

After all, it was the first day of filming, and the tacit understanding of several people had not yet been well coordinated.

"Hey, why is it so much money?" Xu Zheng opened the cash register, picked up the money inside, and said dissatisfiedly to Gu Cancan.

Gu Cancan had a cold face, but secretly he was seriously observing the light accent of Xu Zheng's lines.

Not to mention anything else, Xu Zheng's acting lines really have nothing to say.

"Put the money back! Otherwise, I'll report ......."

"Ahem."

Gu Cancan was speaking his lines, when suddenly two coughs sounded on the scene.

It was a field note that coughed quietly twice.

Gu Cancan's anger came up, they were filming on the spot, and as soon as these two coughs came out, Xu Zheng and her performances just now were all in vain.

The scene was not very old, his face was flushed, and he didn't know how to move his hands and feet when he stood there, and he didn't move or move.

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Cancan couldn't help but scold.

I finally understand why the director's temper is always so short-tempered, and all kinds of accidents on the scene really make people angry.

An older prop master hurriedly came up and apologized a few times, pulling the young man aside.

Alas, Gu Cancan sighed in her heart, her current crew is uneven, and the new team that has just been established has such and such shortcomings.

didn't want to pursue it more, Gu Cancan asked the staff to prepare everything again, and then turned on the camera again to shoot this section again.

The scene just now was re-filmed, Xu Zheng stunned Zhu Liao played by Huang Bo, and then opened the cash register to get the money.

This time the shooting went smoothly and this shot passed.

Filming is not how to act in the finished film, just how to shoot, it is all about shooting scene by scene, sometimes a few seconds is a scene.

The filming in the back went a lot smoother, and the plot progressed.

"Li Junwei, don't be afraid of him, call."

Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang stepped back, and Gu Cancan cheered Qiao Renliang up.

The role of Li Junwei is actually a bit cowardly, Qiao Renliang obviously put in a lot of effort, and his performance is in place, and the number of NG times is not much.

Qiao Renliang's role is also throughout the scene, when Gu Cancan and Xu Zheng are playing against each other, Qiao Renliang is pretending to be a clerk in other locations in the supermarket, and he is also participating in the shooting, and another camera is filming him.

In the future, when editing movies, I will use the picture of Qiao Renliang shot by this camera.

……

Their filming schedule was not in a hurry, the shooting time was eight hours, and today's shooting ended at half past five in the afternoon.

After a day of filming, Gu Cancan was concentrated, not only acting but also directing and shooting, and the whole person felt extremely tired, but remembering that he had to learn from Xu Zheng, Gu Cancan felt that he had the spirit again.

Not only Gu Cancan, but Qiao Renliang also stayed, and when he heard that Xu Zheng was going to teach acting skills, he was also full of interest and proposed to Xu Zheng to learn as well, and Xu Zheng did not allow it.

I politely invited Xu Zheng to dinner, and Xu Zheng's lecture began.

"An actor, if you want to act well, the first step is to learn to breathe! You may wonder who doesn't know how to breathe, everyone breathes all the time. But actually, there is a way to breathe, and what I am giving you now is the method of breathing. ”

Xu Zheng is a good teacher, and he talked to Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang Kankan.

"Watch my movements."

Xu Zheng's steps parted outward, shoulder-width apart, crossed his hands above his waist and below the soft underbelly, and said to Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang: "What I teach you now is the joint breathing method. There are three types of human breathing, chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and combined chest and abdominal breathing. Combined breathing can use all the respiratory muscle groups of the human body, which can expand the volume of the lungs and expand comprehensively, which is in line with the law of physiological movement. For example, in Peking Opera, it is often said that qi takes dantian, and the chest and abdomen are raised, which is the method of combining the chest and abdomen. ”

This passage is full of knowledge points, and Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang listened attentively.

"As actors, we must get used to the combined breathing of the chest and abdomen, and we must be good at controlling the role of the respiratory organs, so that the performance can achieve the best state."

Jiang Meiying was also listening on the side, and her eyes were full of question marks at the moment.

How much more can be said in one breath?

After saying what he said just now, Xu Zheng continued to explain in detail to Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang the operation method of joint breathing, how to inhale, how to exhale, how to exercise the abdominal ribs, and then personally demonstrate how to do joint breathing.

"Breathing involves the movement of internal organs, and if it is not handled well, it may cause inflammation of the organs or even mental disorder, so if you don't understand something, remember that you must ask me questions, and if you are not proficient, before you can master this breathing method, you must practice under my direction."

Gu Cancan, Qiao Ren Liang hurriedly nodded, yes.

Just kidding, when it comes to your own physical safety, of course, you have to listen carefully to Mr. Xu Zheng's explanation.

Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang tried to use joint breathing as Xu Zheng said.

Xu Zheng is a little embarrassed here, to check whether the joint breathing is correct, you need to press your hand to the lower part of the ribs to feel the movement of breathing, Qiao Renliang said, just now Xu Zheng felt Qiao Renliang's breathing method and pointed out the shortcomings.

And Gu Cancan, Gu Cancan is a girl, Xu Zheng has to touch the ribs when he goes to check.

Although it is normal to have physical contact during filming, it is now a lecture after work, and Xu Zheng is worried about whether Gu Cancan will treat him as a pervert.

Gu Cancan knew about the "glorious deeds" of Teacher Xu that had been circulating on the Internet, but at this time, she knew that Xu Zheng really just wanted to teach her a little skill, and she said generously: "Teacher Xu, have you seen the trick of mastering the joint breathing method?" ”

Gu Cancan is so generous, Xu Zheng naturally can't be too twisted.

However, before directing Gu Cancan, Xu Zheng first led by example, and he first let Gu Cancan feel his state when he used the joint breathing method.

The rental certificate pointed to his ribs and said to Gu Cancan: "Cancan, you press me here with both hands, and the hands are a little lower, the lower part of the ribs, a little harder, you can't feel the rhythm of my breathing too clearly." As I breathe, you feel the movement of my ribs and abdomen, feel the movement of my breath. ”

Gu Cancan followed what Xu Zheng said, and pinched the lower part of Xu Zheng's ribs inward with both hands, feeling curiously.

Sure enough, this combined chest and abdomen breathing method was very different from the usual breathing, Gu Cancan clearly felt that when Xu Zheng inhaled, the abdomen and ribs first expanded, and then the breath passed through the chest cavity at a uniform speed. When he exhaled, the whole process was reversed.

Xu Zheng breathed a few times, allowing Gu Cancan to clearly feel the trajectory of his breathing, and then said to Gu Cancan and Qiao Renliang: "Joint breathing is the easiest mistake to make when practicing, contracting the abdominal muscles before the breathing is completed, which is equivalent to upper laryngeal breathing, not chest and abdominal joint breathing." Moreover, during the process of breathing, the medicine is kept at a constant speed. Come Cancan, little Joe, try it yourself first. ”

Gu Cancan pressed his hand to his ribs, tried to breathe with the chest and abdomen, tried twice, and felt that his breathing state was a little different from Xu Zheng's, Xu Zheng said just now, the combined chest and abdomen breathing is not handled well, it may lead to inflammation of the internal organs, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and said to Xu Zheng: "Teacher Xu, how do I feel that the breathing is a little different from what you said, you can help me take a look." ”

You need to touch your hands to feel it, and if you're not careful, you may touch your chest.

Gu Cancan has a completely learning attitude at the moment, and he doesn't feel that it is inappropriate, and besides, the soul is a man, and he does not lose his twist at all.

Xu Zheng glanced at Gu Cancan's body and thought to himself, You said so, I don't need to be too cautious, anyway, it's not much different from boys......

Fortunately, it was Gu Cancan, if it was Jiang Meiying, then Xu Zheng would definitely have eaten tofu.

"Now start inhaling. Well, yes, the gas sinks down, keep it at this speed. Okay, okay, now exhale and keep up the speed. Xu Zheng guided carefully.

Gu Cancan has not been in contact with this chest and abdomen combined breathing, but she has practiced singing for a long time, and after practicing a few times, she found the key trick.

The last time he waited for Gu Cancan to exhale his breath, Xu Zheng didn't feel the problem, withdrew his hands, and said with a smile: "Okay Cancan, now your breathing method is right." ”

Gu Cancan felt it himself, and said suspiciously: "It seems to be a little different from yours." ”

"The difference with me is that there are some differences in the physiological structure of men and women, so the state of breathing is different." Xu Zheng explained.

I see, Gu Cancan nodded and said that he understood.

Xu Zheng continued: "Cancan, Xiao Qiao, your breath is sufficient, it is easier to practice this chest and abdomen joint breathing, and you usually have to figure out more lines, if you want to develop in the entertainment industry, lines are very important." ”

Alas, this is also the idea of people now, Xu Zheng has not seen the traffic flowers and fresh meat that will be a mess of lines in the future, let alone breath lines at that time, filmmakers can not go to the scene, directly cut out the performance, and create a new performance genre.

Gu Cancan's idea is also very simple, her character is to do a good job if she wants to do it.

……

The breathing method was learned in the supermarket, Xu Zheng finished teaching, and the four of them walked out of the supermarket together, and the result was a flash light, and there were reporters taking pictures.

Fortunately, the four of them are together at the moment, and there will be no scandals.

Of course, don't look up to the discipline of entertainment.

"Hello Gu Cancan, I'm Xiao Zhou, a reporter from Entertainment Express, can you answer me a few questions?"

A bespectacled-looking and polite male reporter asked.

Gu Cancan said helplessly: "Ask." ”

The reporter who claimed to be Xiao Zhou asked: "I heard that you are directing and acting in a movie, and the script is all written by yourself." Is it true? ”

"It's true, it came from a sudden inspiration of mine, and after writing it, I felt okay, so I decided to make a movie."

Gu Cancan's face did not change and bragged.

Xiao Zhou's microphone turned to Xu Zheng: "Teacher Xu Zheng, why did you agree to participate in this movie?" ”

Xu Zheng said with a smile: "The script written by Gu Cancan is very good, I like it very much, and the role I play is also quite challenging for me, and there is a breakthrough in the image." ”

"But Gu Cancan has never had directing experience, and she's so young, aren't you afraid of filming, uh, unsatisfactory?"

Damn, are you here to smash the field?

Xu Zheng said: "Although Cancan is young, she is very talented, the script is excellent, and she is very hardworking, she has taught herself directing knowledge for a long time, and the scenes of this movie are relatively simple, I believe that Cancan can direct very well." ”

While answering the question, Gu Cancan and the others walked forward, and they had already walked to the front of the car while talking, said goodbye politely to the reporter of the entertainment express, and got in the car to leave.
