Chapter 14: Leaps and Bounds, Fill Me Up (Ask for Follow-up)

I have to say that books are really the ladder of human progress.

And Xu Mu himself is good at climbing ladders, so he quickly read this book.

I also learned a lot of knowledge.

For example, the human articulatory organ is divided into several parts.

The respiratory organs (lungs, trachea, diaphragm, thoracic, abdominal muscles) play a dynamic role in pronunciation and are known as the engines of sound.

The laryngeal vocal cords function as a source of sound;

The mouth, pharyngeal, nasal, chest, and head cavities are responsible for controlling the loudness and timbre changes of the voice.

The lips, teeth, tongue, teeth and jaw are responsible for voicing words.

A qualified actor usually has to do breath training, and the organs mentioned above must be trained.

In addition, there is also pronunciation training, for example, some Chinese characters are difficult to read quickly when read together, and special training is required.

If you are not convinced, you can try the words "break on a moonlit night".

That's why the old saying goes, "The voice is talented, but the mouth needs to be artificial." ”

And this book also introduces how to train breath and articulate words, which is very good.

Xu Mu was like a sponge, frantically absorbing this knowledge.

Gradually, two hours passed.

And Xu Mu also finished reading this booklet.

The moment he put down the book, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the reading of the book "Into the Line Lesson", which lasts for 2.4 hours, and rewards skill points*2."

There are no explosive skills, and there are no explosive works.

But after being reminded by the system, Xu Mu remembered that he seemed to have 4 skill points that he had saved before and was useless.

Lie down in a chair and turn on the system.

Attribute:

(Basic) breath: D(3/20)+;

(Basic) pronunciation: E(9/10)+;

(Basic) Sense of Belief: D(0/20)+;

Specialized skills:

(Performance) crying scene: E(4/10)+;

(Music) Music Theory Liberal Studies: D(6/20)+;

The affectionate gaze of a teenager: D(0/20)+;

[Skill Point: 6].

Xu Mu was going not to add these two newly acquired skills, and now he had to focus on breath and words.

Xu Mu tentatively pressed the plus sign twice after the attribute of the breath.

And then?

I don't seem to feel anything.

But in the next second, a sudden change protruded, and Xu Mu suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his waist, abdomen, chest, and two ribs.

"Hiss......" The defenseless Xu Mu directly took a breath of cold air in pain, feeling that it was dark in front of him.

Soon, the soreness dissipated.

Xu Mu felt a wave of exhaustion.

Panting for air.

"What the hell is this?" Xu Mu shouted.

With this shout, Xu Mu felt that something was wrong.

His voice became louder, and the muscles in his waist and abdomen could clearly feel the force.

Xu Mu opened the properties panel again.

The breath skill has been changed to D (5/20).

And the pronunciation actually increased a little, from E (9/10) to D (0/20);

At this moment, Xu Mu suddenly realized.

It is the muscles, the system changes the muscle strength of his respiratory organs, enhances his breath, and the change of breath makes his pronunciation also improve.

Sure enough, breath is the source.

Whether you are an actor or a singer, breath is the most basic.

"Fill me up!" Xu Muyi gritted his teeth and pressed it.

Then he felt like he had a vibration band in his body, buzzing with soreness.

The ensuing weakness almost made me fall asleep.

Fortunately, the crew started the meal in time, and Xu Mu rushed out to eat three boxed lunches in a row, and then he felt that he had recovered a little.

"You practiced so the first day?" Hu Yueping was secretly puzzled on the side.

……

From the time he finished eating to the time he got home in the evening, Xu Mu watched "Into the Line Lesson" again and saved two skill points.

Before going to bed, he gritted his teeth and added all his breath.

The next day, after Xu Mu arrived at the crew, he first followed the filming for an hour, and then returned to his small room and read the book again.

This time, he added all the two points to the spitting words.

Boy.

It was so sour, Xu Mu felt that his mouth was numb and his tongue was tired, as if he had just experienced a tongue kiss.

He was moving his mouth there, and Hu Yueping walked in: "It's not enough to just read a book, you have to speak, and you will practice in this warehouse in the future!" ”

Xu Mu himself was about to vomit the book, so he started to practice directly.

After Hu Yueping left, Xu Mu sat cross-legged.

"Straighten your back and neck and breathe naturally."

"With the hip as the axis, lean forward as you exhale, until the breath is exhausted, and return to a sitting state while inhaling, while feeling the confrontation between the abdominal muscles and the thigh muscles."

This is the breathing training method written in the book to sit on the waist and abdomen, and Xu Mu did it while reciting it silently in his heart.

Half an hour later, switch to another position.

By the end of the morning, Xu Mu found that his breath skill had actually risen by two points.

In this way, Xu Mu's regular life began.

When there is a scene, I film, and when I don't have a scene, I read the book twice a day, gain four points, and then exercise my breath for three hours and practice voicing for three hours.

For the remaining 14 hours, eat and rest strictly.

That's it, I'm still tired like a dog.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past four days, the crew watched Xu Mu wander around the warehouse, reading books for a while, meditating for a while, and reading smoothly for a while.

On the afternoon of July 17, Xu Mu practiced smooth speech in his small room.

"The old dragon is angry with the old farmer, and the old farmer is angry with the old dragon. The farmer is angry with the farmer, and the dragon is angry with the farmer, and the dragon is angry with the farmer. This is the practice of distinguishing between n and l pronunciation in the pronunciation exercise.

After practicing for half an hour, Xu Mu opened the system panel:

Breath: C(3/30)+;

Pronunciation: C(0/30)+;

Xu Mu didn't know if this kind of progress was big, but now he felt that his mouth was very flexible.

At this moment, Hu Yueping's knock came from the door.

"Xu Mu, how are you practicing?"

Xu Mu opened the door and found that there were many staff gathered in the warehouse at this time.

Someone was packing up, someone was sitting there drinking coffee.

"I'm finally done."

"We've reshot a lot of shots, and we're slowing down."

Xu Mu suddenly, looking at the current situation outside, the footage of the campus scene is estimated to have been retaken.

Hu Yueping walked in and lit a cigarette: "Today, our crew, the filming of the school scene is completely over, and the filming will be ten years later, and you won't be stuttering at that time." ”

"So how are you doing?"

Hu Yueping is actually very good to Xu Mu, as a director, he knows that his lines can't be practiced overnight, but even if he squeezes out three days, he wants Xu Mu to practice.

"I feel like there's been some improvement." Xu Mu replied.

"Come on, it's still the same scene as before, do it again."

Hu Yueping handed over the previous piece of paper again.

The lines on this piece of paper have been practiced by Xu Mu no less than a hundred times.

Putting the A4 paper aside, Xu Mu took a deep breath, feeling that his lungs were full and full, and his breath was full.

"Mr. Liu."

He paused, filling the two words very full.

"The fact that we can sit together today is the result of the efforts of dozens or even hundreds of people under the two companies......

Xu Mu's voice was not loud, and even a little low, but he could hear the words clearly.

And he reread the words "dozens or even hundreds".

In the book "Into the Line Lesson", it is said that "rereading is the life of a sentence, which represents the inner feelings of the character." ”

It's like the two words "lying down" have different accents, and the emotions are completely different.

"Huh?" Hu Yueping turned his head.

Handled well.

Xu Mu continued to read: "Mr. Liu, your factory is worth about 200000000000 yuan...... It's not a small amount of money......"

Hu Yueping stopped smoking, and his eyes squinted at Xu Mu's mouth.

What about gas?

Why can't I hear the sound of ventilation?

Because of the strength of the breathing muscles, Xu Mu had very few air changes, and even if he was ventilated, it was imperceptible.

Until Xu Mu finished reading all the lines, Hu Yueping was stunned.

Although he is not full emotionally, in terms of breath and words, Xu Mu is now almost the same as a professional actor.

But after thinking about it, Hu Yueping thought of another possibility.

"You won't practice this in four days, will you?"

If you only practice this section for four days, it is really possible to achieve this effect.

"I've practiced others, too."

Hu Yueping didn't believe it, he picked up the book "Into the Line Lesson" that was about to be torn by Xu Mu, and then found a tongue twister.

"You read it again."

Xu Mu glanced at it and blurted out: "The long snake circled around the pile of bricks, and after turning the pile of bricks, he drilled the pile of bricks." ”

The words are crisp, fast and accurate.

This is a tongue twister used to train the pronunciation of zh and z.

Xu Mulian's thief.

Hu Yueping was stunned.

"This is the result of four days of practice?"

This must be the result of at least a few months even in art college.

In the next second, Hu Yueping was furious.

He slammed the door and walked out, his face was hideous, and the corners of his mouth were twisted: "Dog Day Tianxing, what a good seedling you have ruined!" ”

Well, the stars are back again.

The crew looked at Hu Yueping, and they didn't understand what was going on.

"What's the matter with the director?"

"I don't know, he's been convulsing like this lately."

"It may also make Xu Mu angry, I watched the video of Xu Mu's last film exam, and what that line said was like stuffing a belt in his mouth."

That night, the crew disbanded early, everyone went home to rest, and the crew will make specific arrangements tomorrow morning.

This is also the first time in nearly a week that Xu Mu has returned to his apartment before nine o'clock.

He just wanted to take a good rest, when Xie Chen knocked on the door again.

He also carried a case of beer and a few boxes of lo-mei.

"What are you doing, Brother Chen, what kind of wine are you drinking!"

In the past few days, Xu Mu has practiced his lines, and Xie Chen has been busy with other people's affairs.

I didn't expect him to come back quite early today.

Xie Chen put down the things in his hand, then took out his mobile phone, pointed to a hot search on Weibo and said: "See, the first issue of "Asking the Ancients" was broadcast at 9 o'clock today, and it has been promoted for a week, and it has been on a small hot search before it is broadcast." ”

Xu Mu really didn't pay attention to this, he has been playing with his tongue for the past few days.

"Brother Chen, do you like this show?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "I don't like it." ”

Then he opened a can of beer with an extremely proud expression: "But there is a song to be sung in this first episode, and I know the author of this song!" ”

Xu Mu: "??? ”

At this time, Xie Chen had already turned on the computer: "Come on, come on, listen to this song together for a while, a group of people on the Internet said that this song can't be popular just by reading the lyrics, I don't believe it." ”
