Xing Yan's sitting posture had changed as early as the beginning of Guan Chen's performance.

When Guan Chen's performance ended, the audience was silent.

The excuses of "casual playing" and "not taking it seriously" are often from the mouths of people who are conceited, afraid of failure, and unwilling to accept reality.

Xiao Xiong helped Guan Chen explain like this just now, although everyone was prepared and knew that Guan Chen was going to show his real skills next, but they didn't take it too seriously. However, no one expected that Guan Chen would be able to come up with this kind of performance when he became serious.

Xing Yan was silent, and pointed to the notepad with a ballpoint pen, and the sound of "click" rang out one after another.

He has opened acting training classes for so many years, and Guan Chen is not the first to want to refund his tuition.

Among those who were about to drop out of school, except for those who were in urgent need of money, such as the death of a family member, a sudden terminal illness, and a large gambling debt, most of the others were persuaded by him on various grounds.

Some are tempted to take advantage of the profits, and make promises, saying that they will have the opportunity to be recommended to the brokers of well-known companies after studying for as many days.

Some of them are moved by affection, and they sell miserably with their housekeeping skills, and the drama soars so that the other party is embarrassed to ask for money.

He knows how to prescribe the right medicine.

Xing Yan remembered the scene on the day Guan Chen came to sign up. Guan Chen came up and asked what he could learn here, and if he couldn't learn something, would he be able to return the money.

Very rebellious.

Xing Yan really has seen too much of this arrogant young man. The frog at the bottom of the well, who does not have much ability, is often the most likely to be pretentious. But there is no reason for the business to come out.

He asked Guan Chen, "What do you think is acting?" "It's actually a difficult question.

Guan Chen's answer was still crazy, and he said, "Acting is playing God." ”

Xing Yan wanted to see how Guan Chen embodied this sentence with his performance.

However, during the first class, Guan Chen didn't come, and when the second class came, he wanted to leave, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing. Talk about returning money if you can't learn something, you want to leave before you take this class, it's not in accordance with the rules.

Xing Yan knows very well that if he wants to persuade this kind of arrogant person, the only way to convince the other party professionally is to make Guan Chen feel that acting is not something that can be practiced by casually practicing at home and following things, so that he can willingly keep the money here.

He criticized Guan Chen and scolded Guan Chen, which is actually a kind of teaching, the purpose of which is to make the character and the actor have an emotional connection.

As for whether this teaching method is appropriate, Xing Yan can only say that the actor's ability to resist pressure is also a very important part, and the director on the set often scolds people more excessively, no matter how ugly it is. If it's so easy to crash, it's probably not really suitable for this job.

After he finished coaching Guan Chen, he was already planning to greet Guan Chen's grateful eyes after the performance.

However, what he never expected was that Guan Chen not only didn't use what he taught at all, but also made such a situation out of the situation.

"Hmm......" Xing Yan felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, wanting to see what he thought of Guan Chen's performance.

After a while, he clicked on the notebook with a pen, but did not give a comment, but asked:

"Do it again."

……

Show it again.

Guan Chen was not angry or resistant.

Because his mind is no longer on Xing Yan now.

The five minutes had flown in on for him, and he hadn't even figured out what it was like.

He imitated the most famous movie character in his previous life, the clown in "The Dark Knight". He watched this movie more than a dozen times, and he remembered most of the scenes in it.

However, his physical instinct warned him that if he imitated frame by frame, second by second, it would only be self-defeating in the end. So he just constructed a vague feeling in his mind, letting his body's instinct interpret that state, while consciously reciting the lines of "Dawn of Weakness" in this world.

Reminiscing about this feeling, it is like a lucid dream, in which he is holding a flame and holding his hands to prevent it from being extinguished, while walking on a tightrope.

After the performance, there was obviously not much exercise, but Guan Chen was so tired that it was comparable to a boxing match of ten rounds.

"When did you become so good!" Xiao Xiong ran over and whispered in exclamation, wanting to pat Guan Chen's shoulder, but seeing Guan Chen's pale face, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is it a seizure? ”

"It's fine." Although Guan Chen was tired, his spirit was very high.

[Is this a performance?] It's like mastering a switch, and as soon as the switch is turned on, he becomes a different person.

Guan Chen wanted to try to see if this switch was disposable, and while the feeling was not gone, he said to Xiao Xiong, "Let's do it again." ”

Xiao Xiong looked at Guan Chen's fanatical eyes, smiled, nodded and ran back to the other side of the stage, getting ready.

Guan Chen stood in the "cage" and began to think about which character to "call" in his previous life next.

If you want to talk about [Interrogation], [Anti-Guest-oriented], and [Classic Villain], it seems that there is another famous character.

Guan Chen's mind came to mind Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs".

"Dah." Guan Chen snapped his fingers at the bear, which meant that he could start.

Everyone in the audience held their breath and stared, each looking forward to it with their own thoughts.

Then they saw that Guan Chen, who was staying in the "prison", did not sit on the ground this time, but put his hands on both sides of his thighs in a regular manner, standing upright, and his shoulders and neck stretched out an angle that said that he was elegant or not elegant, and that he was nervous or not nervous.

When the bear approached the cage, Guan Chen stared at the bear deeply, with a slight smile in his eyes. It was as if a hospitable host was waiting here early and ready to greet the guests.

"Oh, you're here." The conversation is full of the gentleness and demeanor of the upper class.

Even if he is embarrassed, even if he is wearing an inappropriate sportswear, even if his long hair is messy, even if he is in a cage, he is like a real down-and-out aristocrat and a fallen artist at this time.

But no one thinks that the person locked in the cage is really a down-and-out aristocrat and a fallen artist, because Guan Chen is standing upright, and there is an indescribable dangerous aura all over his body. Wearing a tracksuit with a zipper on the top, it feels like a hospital gown in a mental hospital.

"Don't stay so far away from me, I won't eat you again." The angle of the smile on Guan Chen's face and the gentle corners of his eyes are so perfect that they seem to have been measured thousands of times, no more, no less. It feels like nothing in this world can change his heart rate. Calm and calm to an eerie degree.

Little Bear walked to the front of the cage and looked curiously at Guan Chen, who showed his new look. [Is it an elegant killer and a gentleman criminal this time? ] 】

"When people are close to death, they reveal their true side." Guan Chen's tone was subdued, elegantly like reciting poetry, and he asked Xiao Xiong with concern: "I have killed so many of your friends, and to some extent, I know your friends better than you." Do you want to know, who among them is a real coward? ”

Guan Chen's eyes were full of compassion. It looks like he is a kind man who is saving the lost lamb.

Xiao Xiong liked Guan Chen's performance very much, and felt that she could play the show with peace of mind this time. Guan Chen's neurotic performance just now was very dangerous at first glance, even if she knew that she was acting, she didn't dare to get too close, and she always felt that in the next second, for the sake of dramatic effect, Guan Chen would really stab him with a murder weapon. If it weren't for her maturity and stability, she would almost have been able to finish her lines just now.

This time it was very good, and this time the elegant criminals were much gentler.

Xiao Xiong paced around Guan Chen: "Laughing and crying to death, what's the difference, it's all bad luck." I'd love to know what you think of yourself, how do you think your luck ......" Little Bear said this, turning his head sharply, trying to highlight the majesty and imposing of the Inquisitor. It's just that when she turned her head, she saw a pair of eyes that Guan Chen hadn't had time to retract.

This glance made the hairs on her body stand on end.

Because she saw undisguised desire in Guan Chen's eyes. Hope. It's not the *** that ordinary criminals can't vent after being locked up in prison, but the appetite - the kind of appetite that beasts that haven't eaten for a long time, when they see food.

[He wants to eat me!] The bear was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

Looking at Guan Chen again, the dangerous eyes were gone. He still stood upright, not making any extra movements, just looking at the retreating bear with a look of pity.

This time, Xiao Xiong no longer felt that Guan Chen's eyes were kind and gentlemanly, she felt that the way Guan Chen looked at her was like a hungry person looking at the food on the board.

"Your luck, your luck is ......" the bear's heart pounded, and he couldn't say the words anymore.

"Alright, that's it." Xing Yan opened his mouth and stopped the performance.

The people who were holding their breath only then surfaced and gasped.

"What just happened? Why did the bear suddenly retreat? ”

"You didn't see that look?!"

"I'm watching his feet, and little by little his feet are getting closer to the bear......"

……

The so-called "ordinary people" are people whose words and deeds are easily predicted.

The villain criminal in "Dawn of Weakness", even if he has killed a lot of people and committed a lot of crimes, he is still within the scope of ordinary people.

Xing Yan has been in the film and television industry for decades and has read thousands of scripts. He can basically guess how the villain of a movie will appear in the movie.

And Guan Chen's two performances are not ordinary criminals who belong to ordinary people.

It can be said that Guan Chen's performance has been detached from the text and is a very failed performance. In the crew, this situation is to be hated.

But from a performance point of view, Guan Chen's performance is really amazing. It's like showing off your talent.

Watching Guan Chen's performance just now, one sat cross-legged and the other stood upright, both of which grabbed the audience's eyes and hearts from the beginning, and they were all unheard of and unseen appearances.

The setting of the characters is even rarer.

The previous time was the opposite of God, a devil who rejoiced in evil; The latter is to play God Himself.

None of them are ordinary superficial serial murderers.

The complexity and literary depth of these two characters revealed by Guan Chen is truly staggering.

What's even more shocking is that Guan Chen's performance did indeed perform a kind of "persuasiveness". That's pure talent.

Before Xing Yan watched these two performances, he didn't expect to see such a thing at all. Judging from his many years of performance experience, Guan Chen's two roles with very different styles have not been fully shown, and what he is playing today is just the tip of the iceberg.

Although Guan Chen's performance still has a lot of room for improvement, Xing Yan can be sure that if Guan Chen meets the right team and the right opportunity in the future, over time, two classic villains will be added to the film history.

He really wanted to ask Guan Chen how he was able to drum up these characters at home, and he had studied by himself for three years, and what he learned by watching.

But now, at this moment, Xing Yan just wanted to applaud.

"Bang, bang, bang......" Xing Yan put down the notebook that recorded the students' homework and began to applaud.

Seeing that Xing Yan did not comment but applauded directly, the students also applauded accordingly and applauded warmly.

Although the students didn't think deeply, they at least knew that it was definitely not something they could perform. In the movies and TV series they have watched, they have never seen such criminals. For such criminals, they don't hate it, but they still think it's so charming, they can't get enough of it, and they really want to see such a character on the big screen. At the same time, they were also deeply affected and had a clearer understanding of the cruelty of "talent".

Looking at the applause in front of him, Guan Chen stood in the center of the stage, sweating profusely, as if the two performances just now had exhausted all his strength.

He held his numb hands, and felt the touch of reality return to him little by little.

Guan Chen was stunned and recalled everything that had happened in the last ten minutes.

"I want to apologize to you, I did lose my eyes today." After the applause stopped, Xing Yan's first sentence was to apologize to Guan Chen, and his tone was no longer mean.

"It's an apology to [us]!" Bear reminder.

"......" Xing Yan ignored it, and continued: "But I was also lucky to see the most wonderful performance I have ever seen this year. ”

Xiao Xiong cautiously approached Guan Chen, and after finding that Guan Chen's eyes were neither crazy nor compassionate, he finally dared to approach and complained, "Why don't you remind me." ”

Guan Chen grinned and said, "I don't know what it will be." ”

Two people stepped down.

Next, Xing Yan continued to class.

And Guan Chen sat in his seat, still reminiscing about the feeling brought by the first performance, and he didn't come back to his senses until the end of class.

After class, some students came to say hello to Guan Chen.

Guan Chen stared at the old man's back, ready to follow up to talk about tuition.

"Why are you so powerful all of a sudden? Did you secretly find another training class to take? Little Bear walked through everyone, jumped up and grabbed Guan Chen's neck, almost breaking Guan Chen's neck, "Please, please, introduce me too." ”

Guan Chen slapped Xiao Xiong's arm again and again with the frequency of admitting defeat: "There is no such training class, you come down quickly!" ”

Little Bear jumped down and asked with a grin, "Are you coming to class next week or during the day?" We're going to do our homework as a team. ”

Guan Chen has been fugue since he got off the stage, and he didn't listen to Xing Yan's homework.

"Let's talk about it." Guan Chen didn't agree, because according to the plan, he would get his tuition back after skipping a class this time, and he didn't plan to come after that.

"You're still going to drop out?" Little Bear's tone was a little low.

"Hmm." It's inevitable. Without this money, many things cannot be done. Although the acting class just now is very fresh and interesting, survival has become a problem for him, and he will talk about it later if he cultivates hobbies or something.

The two walked out of the classroom, and several people in the hall were waiting for the bear, ready to go to dinner together. Their eyes glanced at Guan Chen from time to time, and they vaguely hoped that Guan Chen might as well go with them.

Guan Chen didn't look over there.

Xiao Xiong smiled and refused, saying that she was almost too late to work, so she wouldn't eat together.

The girls had no choice but to leave.

"You're still working?" Guan Chen asked. He thought that Xiao Xiong was the kind of rich girl who casually took out more than 10,000 yuan to learn to perform and play.

"A young actor like us with an ordinary family background who doesn't even have a work has no holidays!"

"Awesome, come on." Guan Chen waved his hand, ready to say goodbye to the bear.

Xiao Xiong grabbed Guan Chen: "By the way, I called you several times last week, why can't I get through." ”

Guan Chen, who couldn't leave, had to explain: "My phone was dropped." "The predecessor's mobile phone should have been dropped at the scene of the fire, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he only had a wallet in his pocket.

"What's your new number?" Little Bear took out his phone.

"Didn't buy a new phone." Guan Chen replied.

The bear ran downstairs in a rage.

Guan Chen searched along the corridor, and finally found Xing Yan in the office with the door open.

Hand in the medical records.

"Are you really dying?" Xing Yan was taken aback.

"Almost died." Guan Chen said, "But if you don't have the money to recuperate, you may also die." ”

"It turns out that it's not an excuse......" Xing Yan muttered, flipped through the medical record book casually, and asked, "Very short of money?" ”

"It's lacking."

"What are you doing now?"

"No work."

Xing Yan pondered, and after a while, he said, "I can refund you a lot of tuition." ”

Guan Chen nodded and was not in a hurry to be happy, because Xing Yan's tone clearly indicated that he still had the second half of the sentence.

"But you'd better keep coming to class in the future." Xing Yan returned the medical records to Guan Chen, "You will continue to come over to class next week, no money, I will teach you for free." ”

Guan Chen was a little surprised, when he openly dumped Xing Yan's face in class, he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to get back the tuition. I didn't expect that not only would I be refunded my tuition, but I would also be able to enroll for free.

Xing Yan said: "You are talented, and when I said before that you couldn't be an actor, it was to provoke you to anger, and it also wanted you to remember that criminals should try to suppress their impulsiveness in the face of language provocation." If you are upset, I can't help but say sorry to you. ”

Guan Chen shook his head, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

"You've got a lot of fun in those two roles, it's your talent, and it's a shame if you don't do that. If it were an ordinary actor, I wouldn't persuade him like that.

"In the Huaxia Actors Association, 99% of the members can't support themselves by acting alone. The most important thing for those who engage in art is talent, and those who do not have talent are wasted in it, which is a kind of waste. It's not that they don't all have strength, but in addition to strength, they also need luck. Actors don't just make a lot of money as long as they act well. What determines how far an actor can go in the end is always something other than acting. ”

Xing Yan said this, and looked at Guan Chen seriously:

"But you're different, you make money just by acting. So I'm going to give you lessons and show you opportunities to get you into the industry - I haven't produced a work for a long time, but I still have some connections to use. You think about it. Don't think that I am doing good deeds for free, and when you become famous in the future, I will use you as a signboard for the training class. ”

……

After sending Guan Chen, who got his tuition back and said, "I'll think about it", out of the door, Xing Yan sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

The earring brother sitting behind the counter listened to the conversation between Xing Yan and Guan Chen just now. He walked over and cleaned the cups on the coffee table, and said disdainfully, "How many people did you say those things to just now?" The hundredth? ”

"There are so many, at most it's only tenth." Xing Yan raised his foot to avoid the broom, and sighed: "It's not easy to do business." ”

"It's just that you just give people free tuition, so we don't do it well." The little brother with the earrings glanced at Xing Yan forcefully.

Xing Yan knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't talk back. He lowered his voice and said, "This time it could be true." Although that kid's skills are not good enough, the performance is all based on instinct, and he should have taken a lot of detours by practicing behind closed doors. However, it is already very good to be able to practice at this level, and it is a material that can be made, and teaching such a student will not dishonor my reputation. In the future, when we become famous, we can earn it back tenfold and hundredfold. ”

"You've said something like that seven times." The earring brother sneered: "I've never looked away...... Laughing to death. ”

"Well, it's true this time, I'm really not mistaken."

"It's a rare sentence, but I've said it three times."

"It's really real this time!"
