Chapter 110: Under the Goddess

"Alright, alright." Li Mu nodded and continued, "The acting is good, do you understand, 'Wait a minute, it's actually the moment when the coffin is closed?"

Yu Feihong nodded.

Li Mu said: "It's reasonable, and the personal performance is also good, but we still have to see the situation of the actors in the back, Ms. Yu will go back first, and we will notify you as soon as there is a result."

"Thank you, Director Li, thank you, teachers."

With that, Yu Feihong walked out.

Li Mu turned his head and discussed a few words with director Shen Junsheng, and both of them felt that Yu Feihong's performance was good.

Soon the staff called in a second auditioner.

"Hello Director Li, hello teachers, I'm Zeng Li."

Li Mu glanced up, and said that Zeng Li was the school flower of Chinese opera, and he was even more beautiful than what was staged on TV, and he was still a little curious about it.

The final conclusion is that Zeng Li is indeed very beautiful, and in reality it is indeed more beautiful than on TV, but how amazing is it to say that he is beautiful? Actually, it's not that exaggerated.

The audition began, and it was still those three scenes.

The first two scenes are not difficult, the key is the third crying scene. However, Zeng Li is from a professional class after all, and ordinary people feel how difficult it is to cry, but for actors from professional backgrounds, it is called basic skills, and Zeng Li cried soon out.

The next to come in is actor Hu Jing, Hu Jing and Zeng Li are classmates in college, and they are also one of the seven golden flowers of Chinese opera level 96, the relationship between the two is very good, Hu Jing even gave Zeng Li an exclusive nickname - Zeng Damei.

"Why are your eyes red?" Hu Jing stopped Zeng from leaving the road before entering the door.

When Yu Feihong left, everyone saw it, the two eyes were red, but they didn't expect Zeng Li to be like this now.

Zeng Li replied, "There is a crying scene."

Hu Jing nodded: "Guessed."

didn't take it too seriously, after all, he was born in a professional class, and he was still not scared to cry in a scene.

After Hu Jing is Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan saw that the three actors in a row went in normally, and came out with red circles, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that there was a crying scene in the audition, so she suddenly became nervous.

She was afraid that she would not be able to cry by then.

"Director Li is good, the two teachers are good, I'm Gao Yuanyuan."

"Hello Gao Yuanyuan."

Li Mu looked at the 28-year-old Gao Yuanyuan, silently compared her with Guangwei Liangzi in his mind, and then nodded secretly in his heart.

If only from the perspective of personal image, Li Mu feels that Gao Yuanyuan is the most suitable among the four people who auditioned.

is still the same process, director Shen Junsheng handed three pages to Gao Yuanyuan, and Gao Yuanyuan began to officially audition after being a little familiar.

The first and second scenes were barely okay, but they were undoubtedly the worst of the four auditioners, but by the time they auditioned for the third scene, they completely collapsed.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't cry at all, no matter how she squeezed her tears, she couldn't squeeze out a single tear, and Shen Junsheng shook his head when he saw it.

Seeing the director shaking her head, Gao Yuanyuan became even more anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't cry, and the more she couldn't cry, the more anxious she became, and finally a vicious circle was formed.

Li Mu felt that it was a pity, in terms of personal image, Yu Feihong and Gao Yuanyuan had a very high fit with the role, but Yu Feihong's disadvantage was that she was a little older, so Li Mu once had high hopes for Gao Yuanyuan, but now it seems that Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills seem to be a little reluctant. ….

Shen Junsheng leaned over and said, "Director, what do you think ......?"

Li Mu glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, who seemed to have basically given up, and said:

"The performance is the action, not the state, let you play the cold wind, you don't play the cold state, but how to make yourself not cold."

"Most of the time, the character's actions and the character's state are completely opposite, for example, if you play cold, you have to play how to warm up; If you are hungry, you have to play how to find food everywhere; Playing a thief is not about the thief's sneaky state, but the thief trying his best to cover himself up and let himself see

It's not like a thief to go up."

"So in acting, if you're playing emotions and states, you're in the situation you're in, and you can't act anymore. So the first thing an actor has to do after receiving a role is to figure out what happened to the character and what actions she is going to take, only then will you really get into the role and let you know how to play next."

"Take the three scenes I tried today, the heroine in the first scene is in a hurry to get married, the heroine's father in the second scene says that she won't live long, and the heroine in the third scene says, 'Wait a minute! , and then cried - it was obvious that the heroine's father died, as for why the heroine said 'Wait a minute,......

"Because the heroine's father recorded several videotapes before he died, some of which were kept for his own funeral, and some of which were kept for his daughter's future wedding. But on the day of the funeral, it was precisely the videotape that was misplaced, and the tape recorded in advance for the daughter's wedding was placed at the funeral. The staff wanted to get the tape back, and the heroine said, 'Wait a minute, she wants to see what her father wants to say at her wedding.'"

"So now that you know this background, the reason why the heroine wants to cry is because her father died, so how are you going to play the heroine's crying scene?"

"I...... I ......" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't answer for a while.

Li Mu continued, "Do you remember what I said above? The action of acting and the state of acting are often opposites, if you want to cry, you have to work hard not to cry. It's not that the actor wants to cry that this person is dead, and you shouldn't just think about the word death, because the more you think about it, the more you can't cry."

"It's about acting the opposite, you have to think about the very beautiful things that happened to you and this person, those pictures that make people feel extremely warm."

"The incomparably beautiful pictures of the past appear in front of you, and then you may laugh unconsciously, and then suddenly remember that this person is actually dead, no matter how beautiful the pictures in the past, no matter how warm the pictures in the past, you will lose them forever, and then your heart will throb, and then the tears will naturally fall, in fact, what makes you cry is not that someone is dead, but that the beautiful things that used to be will never be had in the future."

"Remember, the purpose of a crying scene is not to make the actor cry, a good crying scene must make the audience cry silently, you cry very hard, just know that if you stare and squeeze your eyes, the audience will be very embarrassed to watch. Only if you try your best to control the performance, make yourself not cry, and finally cry uncontrollably, the audience will feel distressed and shed tears. Therefore, a good crying scene is often about how to control how to keep yourself from crying, and finally crying uncontrollably, rather than the actor crying hard with all his strength."

Gao Yuanyuan was thoughtful after hearing this, and then Li Mu gave her another five minutes.

Five minutes later, Gao Yuanyuan continued to audition.

Her mind began to imagine the warm picture of the heroine riding on her father's shoulder and laughing when she was a child, the carefree time when she fantasized about the heroine and her father playing games, the happy moment when she fantasized about the heroine and her father, and the kind smiling face of her father when he looked forward to his daughter's wedding, a beautiful and warm picture poured into her mind, and the corners of Gao Yuanyuan's mouth rose unconsciously, but her laughter became a cry, because she suddenly remembered that her father had left her forever.

So I finally couldn't cry.

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan, who couldn't cry no matter what, only a few minutes ago, suddenly couldn't cry, Director Shen Junsheng and the assistant director surnamed Zhang were all surprised.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu, as a halfway director, is not only very good at being a director, but also very good at guiding actors.

Extraordinary ordinary
