Chapter 392: Actor, I didn't want to be a movie queen (4)

"That doesn't explain why you've regressed so much lately!" Zhang Meiqing frowned: "But it's good that you have this attitude!" I told you from the first day of school that you should respect the profession of an actor and not just look at the flashy side of the entertainment industry. You are not studying here to be a celebrity who sells face! ”

"You're right!" Qian Qian lowered his head and agreed softly: "But I don't know what to do now." I wanted to re-study and start auditing classes in my freshman year, but I didn't know if I would be in time. ”

"It's always good that you're willing to work hard!" Zhang Meiqing sighed: "That's it, I'm free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, if you want, I'll tutor you." ”

How could Qian Qian be unwilling! She's so grateful! Zhang Meiqing is a performing artist of the older generation, and being able to get her individual tutoring is like pie in the sky!!

Qian Qian looked gratefully at Zhang Meiqing, who was actually almost seventy years old in front of him. In fact, she retired a long time ago, and was hired back by the school to teach back. In fact, she could not care about Qian Qian, an ordinary student, but she still lent a helping hand responsibly.

"Teacher Zhang......" Qian Qian stammered: "I...... I can pay for the make-up lessons! Thank you! Thank you very much for being willing to give me a hand! It's true! ”

"That's it!" Zhang Meiqing waved her hand and stood up: "I know very well what your situation is now, it is impossible for you to find a job in the crew at your level, where will you get the money to pay for the make-up fees." I don't want money, I just hope you don't let me down again. ”

Qian Qian felt that he was really lucky to be able to get Zhang Meiqing's help. You must know that she has almost begun to despair of her acting skills, and sometimes she even thinks that she should completely give up the path of being an actor and find another way, but fortunately Zhang Meiqing stood up at this time.

Qian Qian buried his head in the library, holding a large number of basic theory books, reading and taking notes. As Zhang Meiqing said, starting from scratch, theoretical learning is very important, and the systematic theory summarized by the predecessors can make Qian Qian take a lot of detours.

In the first month, Zhang Meiqing was just asking Qian Qian to read the book, and every time she made up the class, she would put forward the part she thought was the key point and discuss it with Qian Qian repeatedly, if Qian Qian didn't understand something, she encouraged Qian Qian to put it forward boldly, and then explain it bit by bit.

A month later, Zhang Meiqing began to teach Qian Qian some practical things. She didn't talk about some lofty things such as understanding of the role, artistic expression, and performance tension at the beginning, but told Qian Qian seriously from the beginning that she had to get used to the camera from now on.

"Forget about those advanced theories, now return to the basics, don't feel that these are not important!" Zhang Meiqing said solemnly: "You are an actor, you must first know which angle of your face is the most beautiful in front of the camera!" The position of the camera, the intensity and direction of the light, all affect the image you present in the shot. If you can't even sell faces, you can simply change careers! ”

It's not that simple to show yourself through the lens, there are a lot of doorways inside! For this alone, Qian Qian studied for another month.

She's a trick and has long been used to hiding herself in the crowd and trying not to attract attention, and now, her new role requires her to show herself to the maximum in front of the camera, and to be honest, Qian Qian doesn't really like it. However, she is also a person who has been an empress anyway, and she can be regarded as a high-profile role, so she adapts quite quickly.

Zhang Meiqing trained Qian Qian's camera sense while began to train her line skills strictly. Recently, she said to Qian Qian most often: "You can't even speak well, what kind of drama are you playing?!" ”

Qian Qian is also strange, why can't she even understand what she can't say all of a sudden?! The standard accent of this world is similar to the general accent of Qian Qian's native world, so she thinks that her pronunciation is quite standard, at least the words are correct and round. In order to verify this problem, Qian Qian also deliberately took the world's standard language test, and the result was qualified. However, Zhang Meiqing was still very dissatisfied with her.

"Does the standard accent mean that you can speak lines?" Zhang Meiqing frowned tightly: "A line is an expression, what you get is a piece of text, how to say a dead text, tone, stress, rhythm, and emotion all need to be figured out and interpreted by the actors themselves." Saying it in one sentence and making the audience not embarrassed is the most basic requirement, and you can't even do this basic requirement now, let alone deduce the meaning behind the text through the lines! ”

All right...... Qian Qian said that she was really ignorant. But it doesn't matter, she can make up for it by practicing hard. Qian Qian was like a demon during this time, she was like a demon and slashed at the lines every day, she followed Zhang Meiqing's advice to start with imitation, and kept listening to Zhang Meiqing's various examples selected for her every day, figuring out imitation little by little.

Qian Qian worked hard, but the progress was not fast. Every time she thinks she is already quite good, Zhang Meiqing can always give her another blow.

"The way of pronouncing the lines in a stage play is different from that of a film and television drama, you have to distinguish the difference between dramatization and daily life, and adjust it at any time." Zhang Meiqing still didn't change her face against Qian Qian: "Don't think that your line skills are already very powerful!" That's right, the stage play does have high requirements for lines, and you are basically up to the mark now. But what's going on with this tone of what you're playing now? Are you going to work in a repertory theatre in the future? Remember, if it's a film and television drama, it is a failure to let the audience hear your drama tone through the screen! ”

A semester has passed, and Qian Qian's acting problems have not been solved, but she is very self-comforting, at least she can now stand in front of the camera and take beautiful photos naturally, and she knows how to show herself. Her line skills have also improved a lot, at least the stern Teacher Zhang doesn't dislike her so much.

In addition, after a semester of unremitting training, her marksmanship is initially picked up, and it is a little difficult to reach the level of being able to fight on horseback in the previous plane, but at least one-on-one beating is no problem.

Approaching the winter vacation, Zhang Meiqing explained to Qian Qian at a glance: "Remember to do the homework assigned to you, you don't have much time, we must solve your facial paralysis at the beginning of the next semester!" It's your third year in film school, and you can only grin and frown at the camera, are you embarrassed? Is it through the nostrils to express emotions? Half of the close-up shots need to be expressed by the eyes, but are your eyes ornamental? Saying that you can't move dead fish eyes is lifting you up! ”

"Yes! Teacher! I'll do my best! Qian Qian listened to Zhang Meiqing's comments, and was sweating and embarrassed. She didn't see it, and the smile on the corner of Zhang Meiqing's mouth after she turned to leave.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a practical child, right? Zhang Meiqing looked at Qian Qian's back and thought silently. Although the talent is average, but obedient and willing to work hard, without those self-righteous stinky problems, such a child is worth her hard work to cultivate. At least, she, as a teacher, has to be worthy of the child's efforts! 10
