Chapter 151: Acting Lessons
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously.
Before he crossed over, he had also seen some news on the Internet, especially the old man of the national teacher, how strict he was with the actor's face, which was famous.
Nature.
"Is it because of a natural face that you can express any expression? It seems that many expressions of plastic surgery face can't be done. ”
"This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that plastic surgery faces are easy to give the audience distorted and auraless visual effects." Zhang Ming said, "People's emotions, 90% of the five senses are expressed, especially the emotions on the screen, not to mention the lines, what does a face look like, this is innate, some faces are born amazing, some faces are simple, no features, but we all admit that any face can show its beauty at a specific angle, which is the acquired packaging, and the plastic surgery face is a face that has been packaged, if the face that has not been done is a blank paper, The whole face is a piece of paper that has been smeared, and for the director, of course, he will be willing to use a blank piece of paper. ”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"And for the audience, too." Zhang Ming said, "Most of the audience will not analyze your performance level, analyze whether you are likable or not, they are just a play, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, there can be no reason, and you don't have the opportunity to explain, for a young actor, most of them can't talk about acting skills, they can only say that their own conditions and innate aura, whether they can impress the audience and attract the audience, rely on these things." ”
Lu Yanhe seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Zhang Ming: "At this time, the importance of true colors comes out, when you meet a good director, grasp the most attractive true colors, and present them on the screen, if you don't meet a good director, no matter how good your own conditions are, you can shoot like a pig's head, the lens is this kind of thing, it is not 100% restored to the original color, but enlarged, or ignored." ”

Chen Ziyan returned to her office and contacted Luo Yuzhong's assistant Mo Zhi.
Chen Ziyan: "Xiao Mo, has Director Luo been particularly busy in the past few days?" ”
Mo Zhi said: "Sister Ziyan, Director Luo has been busy with the preparation of "Golden Age" in the past few days, and it will start next week, which is quite busy. ”
"Okay, I still thought that if Director Luo had time, I would take Xiao Lu to visit him again to see if Xiao Lu had anything to prepare in advance." Chen Ziyan said, "Xiao Lu's first time acting, I am not down-to-earth in my heart, I want to listen to Director Luo's opinion, and strive to prepare early, so that I can perform better on the set." ”
Mo Zhi smiled and said: "Sister Ziyan, you are too worried, Lu Yanhe doesn't have many plays, he will only join the group next month, memorize the lines early, and go back to acting, Director Luo will train him well, you don't know, Director Luo has been very patient in training actors." ”
"That's good, if you start the film next week, then Xiao Lu will be free, I'll let him go into the group and study on the set." "Will this be a burden to you? The main thing is that this kid has never been to the set and doesn't know how the set works, so I asked him to go over and see it in advance, so he can get familiar with it in advance. ”
"This ......" Mo Zhi hesitated, "I don't know this, I have to ask Brother Hong, there are many people in our play, there are hundreds of staff members alone, and one more person is arranged on the set, I don't know if Brother Hong is willing." ”
Brother Hong refers to producer Liu Hong.
Chen Ziyan: "Okay, then I'll say hello to Liu Hong and see what he says, I just want to ask you, if Xiao Lu passes, will Director Luo mind?" ”
It's not that everyone actively joins the group in advance, and the director will be happy to see it.
Just like Mo Zhi's reaction just now, individual enthusiasm may still be a trouble and a burden for the whole team.
Mo Zhi: "Director Luo doesn't mind, he likes hard-working and motivated actors." ”
"I'm relieved to have your words." Chen Ziyan smiled and exchanged a few more words with him and hung up the phone.
Although Mo Zhi is just an assistant to the director, he knows Luo Yuzhong very well.
Chen Ziyan wants everything to be safe, and not to make Luo Yuzhong unhappy for some reason, so she has to have a good relationship with such a person, and ask many things in advance.
She called Liu Hong again.
Of course, Liu Hong would sell her face, and readily agreed to Lu Yanhe's matter of going over to observe in advance.
The drama "Golden Age", because it is a new play directed by Luo Yuzhong, and Jiang Yuqian as the heroine, has long been targeted by major platforms, waiting for bidding.
It's just that Director Luo is more cautious and is not willing to sell the show so early, so he didn't let go.
Liu Hong has been busy with this matter recently, although Luo Yuzhong refuses to sell it now, Liu Hong still has to entertain a lot of platform parties, and he can't be lazy.
Liu Hong answered Chen Ziyan's call, remembered what someone had mentioned to him before, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I have something to inquire about, Ziyan, why did you suddenly have the heart to sign Lu Yanhe?" ”
Chen Ziyan: "I think it's quite valuable to cultivate, I also took a break for a while, it's time to train a few new people." ”
"He's really lucky, if it weren't for your fancy him, he would have been swept away by Star Entertainment." Liu Hong said with a smile.
"Yo, you know all this?"
"Yes, I'm still curious, is there something wrong with this kid, so he was targeted by Zhou Ping'an."
"Zhou Ping'an has a sick brain, and it has nothing to do with children."
"Haha." Liu Hong laughed twice, "Zhou Ping'an, he is quite aimed at Lu Yanhe, and he also told me that let Cheng Hai play and replace Lu Yanhe, although Cheng Hai is not bad, but Director Luo took a fancy to Lu Yanhe, and he still didn't give up, he really became his family when this role became his family, and he was there to pick and choose." ”
Chen Ziyan: "Zhou Ping'an's heart is not right, but the artists he brought are not bad, and they all look very good." ”
"Now there are more and more people in the circle who are eager for quick success." Liu Hong sighed, "I really miss the old days more and more. ”
"In the past, there was a good time before, and now there is a good time now, the drama "Golden Age" is a big project, you are under a lot of pressure, if you need my help, tell me, we are old friends, and we will try to help anyone who can."
"Yo, I'm not welcome to say that."
"You're welcome."
"Now I really want to ask you for help." Liu Hong said with a smile.
"Just in time."
"yes, what a coincidence." Liu Hong said, "A friend of mine wants to find Shang Yongzhou to act, can you help me pull a line and introduce him to have a meal?" ”
"Eat without it, haven't you heard of Shang Yongzhou's character? A iron social fear. Chen Ziyan said, "You give me the script, I will transfer it to him, and let him see for himself whether he can accept it." ”
Liu Hong: "The script has been entrusted to him, it's not that people haven't liked it, so I want to talk about it in person." ”
"It's useless to talk to him face-to-face, if the script can't move him, it's useless to say more." Chen Ziyan said, "You transfer the script to me, I'll see if there is room for revision, if there is a possibility of revising it, I will tell you, if there is no room for that, hurry up and find someone else." ”
Liu Hong: "Tsk, who doesn't know that he trusts you, I'll rest assured with you, and the script will be sent to you immediately." ”
"Heh, it seems that you came here to ask me to read the script for you from the beginning, right?"
"There's no way, true friend, I can only trouble you when I'm busy, ordinary friends, I'm too lazy to open this mouth."
"Got it."
I hung up the phone, and within five minutes, the mailbox prompted that a new email had been received.
Chen Ziyan downloaded the script, printed it, and prepared to take it to read on the road.
In the evening, she had to go on a business trip again, and she flew to Jiangguang to discuss cooperation.
-
As the morning passed, Lu Yanhe felt that he had a lot of stuff in his head.
Zhang Ming said that he was here to teach him performance theory, but in fact, it was a kind of understanding.
Lu Yanhe didn't have any theoretical understanding of performance at all, and after listening to Zhang Ming, he had a hazy impression.
At noon, Chen Ziyan took them to dinner.
Lu Yanhe was also piggybacked.
During the meal, Chen Ziyan said to Zhang Ming: "You basically haven't come out to act in the past two years, do you plan to join the group in the future, just stay in school and teach?" ”
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he was a little surprised, and he didn't dare to make an expression, so he silently lowered his head to eat.
Zhang Ming said: "I can't get any good roles, so why bother." ”
"Accumulate slowly, acting is like this, accumulate, you can soar when the opportunity comes, you see Zhang Zhiwen, who suddenly exploded with a "Hongzhou" two months ago, became popular at the age of forty, isn't it still rising?" Chen Ziyan said to Zhang Ming, "Don't be discouraged, you're only thirty years old." ”
"It's not that I'm disheartened, it's just that I don't have any roles to play, and those who can ask me to play are all very ordinary small roles, and I don't have that interest." Zhang Ming said directly, "I feel that the price is lower when I act." ”
"If you don't act, won't you elevate yourself? In the future, no one will ask you to play the small role, knowing that you can't look at it, and no one will ask you to play the big role, thinking that you will not act. Chen Ziyan said, "You are good at acting, it's just a bad chance, just wait slowly." ”
Lu Yanhe listened to the conversation between the two of them and was a little puzzled.
Since Chen Ziyan thinks Zhang Ming is a good actor, why don't you make him an agent?
It is said in the industry that whoever Chen Ziyan likes can make him popular.
Chen Ziyan has such a wide range of contacts, can't she help Zhang Ming introduce a few good roles?
These questions came out of Lu Yanhe's heart, and he didn't say them, listening silently.
Zhang Ming: "Forget it, it's better to be a teacher honestly, and play a small supporting role, it's embarrassing." ”
"You're just too angry." Chen Ziyan sighed helplessly.
After lunch, Zhang Ming went back by himself.
Chen Ziyan landed Yan He and returned to the company.
Sure enough, Chen Ziyan took the initiative to speak and talked about Zhang Ming, "Are you a little confused?" Why is Zhang Ming a teacher in the Jingyi Performance Department, but he doesn't seem to have the opportunity to act? ”
Lu Yanhe nodded and hummed.
"He's just too high-spirited, and he hurt himself." Chen Ziyan said, "After graduating that year, he stayed in school directly to teach, and the opportunity was good, he played the male lead in a big director's new play, but he was not popular, and he always played the male number one and the male number two, but the opportunity was not good, and the drama was never popular, after two years, no one asked him to play the male number one and the male number two, what about him, because he has been playing important roles since graduation, he is still there, and he refuses to compromise, and he does not play small roles, and then he is slowly forgotten by many people, and no one looks for him to act." ”
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized that this was the case.
"Actually, I've told him many times, don't worry about the fact that I have always been the male number one and the male number two in the past, if you have acting skills, you can act well, there will always be a day when you will be seen again, just like the Zhang Zhiwen I just said, he is not a graduate of a professional college, he has played a trick seriously for many years, and slowly got the role with lines, and then to the back, the villain also played, the male No. 3 and the male No. 4 also acted, this time he finally starred in a "Hongzhou", caught up with the big explosion of the drama, and he also exploded, in the entertainment industry, who is popular, Whoever explodes is indefinite, it's metaphysics, if it's not popular or explosive, just act honestly, don't let it go if you have the chance, high morale can only hurt you. ”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"I also told you this, you are young now, and as soon as you come to act, you will play the play of Director Luo Yuzhong, but there are not many directors in this industry who can reach the level of Director Luo Yuzhong, don't be high-spirited just because you acted in "Golden Age", and you can't look down on other opportunities." Chen Ziyan said, "Otherwise, Zhang Ming is an example, how good he is at acting, it can be seen from the fact that he can stay in school to teach as soon as he graduates, but he can't adjust his mentality well, no matter how high his ability is, it's useless, understand?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe didn't expect that this was still ordering him.
He smiled and said, "No matter how high my heart is, it is impossible for me to be high in acting, I don't know anything, I don't know how to act at all." ”
"Then you don't need to be so arrogant, you can impress Director Luo Yuzhong with an audition, this is your ability." Chen Ziyan said again.
"Oh." Lu Yanhe felt that Chen Ziyan was also very good, he was afraid of his pride, and he was afraid that he would be arrogant, he was really the heart of the old mother, and his heart was favored.
Of course, he didn't dare to say that.
If Chen Ziyan heard the words "old mother", it is estimated that he would roll his eyes a hundred times.
"Oh, Sister Ziyan, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Lu Yanhe said, "Li Zhibai said last night that Chen Biqiu asked him to have dinner with Chen Biqiu tonight, and let me go together." ”
"Chen Biqiu, the producer of "Let's Camp Together", right?" Chen Ziyan nodded, "Okay, let him meet you, it would be good if he could record one or two episodes of this show, this show is quite popular." ”
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan: "I'm going to Jiangguang on a business trip tonight, and I won't be back for the next two days, so you can have a good class with the two teachers yourself." ”
"Okay."
-
In the afternoon, Lu Yanhe met another teacher of his.
Ho Shuyi.
is also a teacher with very experience in acting teaching, Lu Yanhe doesn't know her, and he hasn't seen her much, but as soon as he came up, he directly took him to start rehearsing the play in "Golden Age".
Lu Yanhe didn't come back to his senses, so He Shuyi took him to play again and again.
"That's not right."
"Do it all over again."
"I'm nervous."
"It's too fake."
……
Lu Yanhe went to the back and said, "Teacher He, I'm not ready, can you let me think about it for myself first?" ”
He Shuyi put down the script with a smile and said, "Do you think I'm too fast, I don't give you time to prepare, so I let you come directly?" ”
Lu Yanhe nodded hesitantly.
It's too fast, indeed.
He Shuyi said: "I did it on purpose. ”
"Huh?"
"I just want to see what your most instinctive acting is." He Shuyi said, "I don't want your thoughtful performance, it's all fake, I want the real thing, the so-called real listening, watching and feeling, is a person's most direct reaction, the role you want to play, there is no complexity, it is all some emotional presentation, so just give the most real emotional presentation." ”
Lu Yanhe nodded blankly.
"Come back now." He Shuyi said, "Throw away all your thinking, just follow my rhythm and give the most direct response." ”
Lu Yanhe nodded and put down the script.
If Zhang Ming is a romantic theorist, He Shuyi is a practical actioner.
She was very infectious, interrupting Lu Yanhe's performance again and again, and then grabbing Lu Yanhe to pick it up again, breaking his various concerns, embarrassment, shyness, and inability to let go a little bit.
As the afternoon passed, Lu Yanhe felt as if he had been drained.
……
At half past five in the afternoon, He Shuyi's first class ended.
Lu Yanhe's eyes were empty, and he sat on the ground, his face a little white.
Acting turned out to be a manual job.
He followed He Shuyi constantly to say lines and move positions throughout the afternoon, accompanied by roaring and shouting from time to time...... This is not an emotional vent in the script at all, and He Shuyi asked Lu Yanhe again and again to let Lu Yanhe switch between the emotions of opening and closing, which can only be said that this rhythm is too sour.
He Shuyi went to chat with Chen Ziyan.
"Quite a kid who can make it." He Shuyi praised with a smile, "I didn't expect to be able to hold on until now, I thought he wouldn't be able to hold on an hour ago." ”
Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Yanhe, who was sitting on the floor and emptying himself, through the glass wall of the rehearsal room, and smiled, "You can also take it easy." ”
"First lesson, try his limits." He Shuyi explained, "Although he has no acting experience, he does have talent, and his emotional switching is very crisp and tenacious. ”
"After all, he is a newcomer who is favored by Director Luo."
"The eyes are vicious, and he is worthy of being a newcomer who is favored by you." He Shuyi said.
"Do you think he can make it in the future?"
"The quality itself is very good, whether it can be achieved depends on luck."
Chen Ziyan nodded.
"He's different from the Wen Minglan you asked me to teach before." He Shuyi said, "Wen Minglan is still a little heavier, and she always can't let go, he ...... He trusted me in one afternoon, and completely opened himself up in the back, this quality, as long as he meets a good director, he will burst out with incredible brilliance. ”
