Chapter 158: The Comfort of a Stranger in a Foreign Land
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Yanhe approached and looked at Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong with an unkind expression.
The two of them stood outside the rehearsal room, sneakily taking pictures with their mobile phones, and happened to be blocked by Lu Yanhe, who came back.
Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong turned their heads to see Lu Yanhe, they didn't take him seriously at all, and said nonchalantly, "What do you care about what we are doing here?" Who are you, when is it our turn to take care of us? ā
Lu Yanhe said with a straight face: "This is the rehearsal room I booked, you came to me to take pictures secretly, I can't ask?" ā
Wei Zhuoran immediately stiffened his neck, "Candid photography? What kind of fart are you farting, which eye did you see me secretly filming? Lao Tzu filmed his teammates and shot them openly. ā
Lu Yanhe glanced at Chen Jing, who was practicing dance inside the glass wall, and didn't say anything more.
He crossed Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong, pushed open the door and entered, "Chen Jing, how are you practicing?" I'm going to rest. ā
Chen Jing immediately stopped and said, "I'm almost there, you can rest, thank you for lending the rehearsal room." ā
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe saw that he was sweating, and the T-shirt on his body was soaked with sweat.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said that there was no need to be so polite.
He glanced back, and Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong, who were still outside the door just now, had already left.
"Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong were outside just now." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Jing.
"Huh?" Chen Jing's reaction was a little strange, and he frowned, as if he had some concerns.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's fine." Chen Jing stopped the stereo, thanked Lu Yanhe again, and left in a hurry.
Lu Yanhe didn't think much about it, and when he left, he locked the door of the rehearsal room and prepared to rest for a while.
The sleepiness has swept in, and the eyelids are fighting.
-
In the afternoon, He Shuyi took Lu Yanhe to rehearse the play of "Golden Age", starting from the first scene.
"As a rookie actor, you must first learn to figure out the characters." He Shuyi almost took Lu Yanhe to analyze the script hand-in-hand, "You are still very young and have no experience, you can't act in every scene like those mature actors, so you have to learn to find the key points, such as the role you played in "Golden Age", what is your first impression of him?" ā
"Warm, full of a sense of justice." Lu Yanhe said immediately.
"Hmm." He Shuyi nodded, "Now you close your eyes and follow my voice, let me ask you first, can you imagine a warm image full of a sense of justice in your mind?" ā
Lu Yanhe followed He Shuyi's instructions and sketched a figure in his mind.
"Hmm."
"Are you yourself a warm, righteous person?" He Shuyi asked.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said, "I've always wanted to be such a person. ā
"Very well, so do you think you are the same person as in the script?"
He ...... More mature than me. Lu Yanhe said, "Moreover, he is more forbearant than me, I can't be like him, but when I read the script, I was thinking, I hope to be able to be such a person." ā
"Now, put yourself in that person's place." He Shuyi's voice continued to guide Yan He, "Okay, now open your eyes." ā
Lu Yanhe reopened his eyes, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
He Shuyi said: "This is the first point I want to teach you, acting, to establish a sense of belief in the character, to put it bluntly, is to believe that you are the character, and then find the substitution point, a person's best acting skills are substitution and empathy, especially young characters, often emotional more than complex, you have to find the common ground and difference with the character through this dialogue with yourself, the common point is the incision of your substitution role, and the difference is the place where you have to use skills to smooth out." ā
Lu Yanhe was a little stunned.
"The second thing to teach you is to put aside all the theories." He Shuyi said, "Acting is a technique that is constantly practiced, third-rate acting skills are crying when you say crying, first-class acting skills are when you go to that place, you naturally cry, you are a newcomer, the most taboo to learn eighteen kinds of martial arts, and then you are very involved in acting, but you can't impress others at all, every scene, you have to figure out where its drama is, for example, in "Golden Age", the first scene you appear in, you walk in from outside the classroom, where do you think your character's drama is? ā
Lu Yanhe looked dazed and shook his head, "I don't know." ā
He Shuyi said: "Then what do you think the screenwriter wrote this scene for?" ā
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: "This scene is the first time the heroine played by Sister Yuqian has seen me, and the main thing in the script is to show that Sister Yuqian likes the person I play at a glance." ā
"That's right, so the key to this scene is that you have to give the audience the impression that you are taken for granted by Jiang Yuqian as soon as you appear." He Shuyi said, "At that time, there will be lighting, editing, music, makeup and other departments to set off these, just to achieve the effect I just said, so as an actor, how do you act to achieve this effect?" ā
Lu Yanhe had imagined this scene before, but in fact, no matter how he thought about it, it was a bit contrived.
"I don't know, I've actually thought about it a lot, but I feel that no matter what expressions I make, or what actions I design, it seems very contrived and redundant."
"You're right." He Shuyi said with a smile, "If a boy makes expressions and actions with the purpose of making himself look more handsome, the final result is that the audience thinks he is handsome or pretentious, especially in "Golden Age", your identity is a college student, and you are liked by a girl at a glance in the classroom environment, so the key to the key is three words: don't know it." ā
Lu Yanhe looked at He Shuyi inexplicably, "Teacher He, according to what you said, in fact, I don't have to act anything, how can I be comfortable myself?" ā
"Hmm." He Shuyi nodded, "Since your own appearance and personality are very similar to the character, this kind of drama that requires you to be in the most natural state is, of course, how comfortable you are." This is the importance of finding a drama, you have to fully analyze what is required of you in each scene in which your character appears, some plays require you to act exaggeratedly, some plays require you to act more restrained, some plays will require you to give the most authentic appearance, and some plays will require you to completely abandon yourself and act with another personality. If you find the right direction, your efforts will be meaningful. Just like the scene we just said, if you want to be handsome and handsome in this scene, and you want to be able to impress a girl's heart at a glance, that's bad, you will only become more and more ugly, and the more you act, the more disgusting it becomes, and no matter how hard you try, it will be empty. ā
Lu Yanhe understood what He Shuyi meant.
-
When He Shuyi finished teaching him, it was already evening.
The setting sun turns completely orange-red, pulling the vast sky to paint the deep and light colors of dusk.
After Lu Yanhe sent He Shuyi away, he went back to the rehearsal room to pack his things.
Li Zhibai sent him a message, asking him if he had finished class, if he was finished, he would see him downstairs in the company later, and he would pick him up and eat fried chicken together.
Lu Yanhe replied with an OK.
He put his bag on his back, turned off the lights, closed the door, and left.
At this point, many of the company's civilian employees get off work.
The elevator waited several times and was overcrowded, and I couldn't squeeze in.
He thought about it and decided to go down the fire escape.
The floor he's on isn't very high anyway.
When I reached the third floor, I suddenly saw a person sitting on the stairs below.
Lu Yanhe slowed down.
The man heard footsteps and glanced up.
"Chen Jing?" Lu Yanhe looked at this person in surprise.
Chen Jing didn't expect to run into Lu Yanhe, so he hurriedly stood up.
He subconsciously lowered his head and turned away, but Lu Yanhe noticed that his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried.
"Aren't you going to record a show? Why are you still here? Lu Yanhe asked.
"IāI'm not recording anymore." Chen Jing hurriedly replied, raised his leg and was about to leave, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ā
Without waiting for Lu Yanhe to speak, Chen Jing walked upstairs and passed by Lu Yanhe, as if he was afraid that Lu Yanhe would ask him.
A fool can't see that Chen Jing's mood is very bad now.
Not recorded?
It is estimated that Chen Jing's bad mood is related to this incident. Chen Jing was still practicing dancing in Gasai at noon for this show, but he didn't record it, which is not in vain.
I don't know what happened to the recording of this show.
Lu Yanhe went downstairs, walked out of the company gate, and came to the side of the road.
Li Zhibai's car was already parked on the side of the road, waiting for him.
"Why did you suddenly remember to eat fried chicken at night?" Lu Yanhe opened the car door and sat down, only to see that there were not only Li Zhibai and Yan Liang in the car, but also Li Zhenzhen, "Li PD, you are still there!" ā
Li Zhenzhen's long hair was already tied up, his eyes were bent, and he asked with a smile: "What's the matter, are you happy to see me?" ā
"No, it's just a bit of an accident, I thought you had already gone back." Lu Yanhe asked, "Have you followed Li Zhibai all day today?" ā
"yes, but he stayed in the house all day and didn't go out." Li Zhenzhen sighed, "So I proposed to come out to eat fried chicken together in the evening, and I had a treat." ā
"Oh, I see." Lu Yanhe thought to himself, no wonder, I usually didn't see Li Zhibai and Yan Liang say that they wanted to eat fried chicken, it turned out that there were other people.
In the evening rush hour, the road is a bit congested.
Yan Liang flipped through his phone and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Chen Jing." ā
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard this name.
"In the afternoon, MX's official account sent a note, saying that Chen Jing needed to be absent from the recording of "Ace Smash Bros. " due to physical reasons. Yan Liang explained.
"Physical reasons?" Lu Yanhe was even more surprised.
"That's a pity, the show "Ace Smash Bros." is quite popular, I heard that MX recorded this episode after a long time of talking, and the two sides agreed." Lee Jinjin said, "Originally, MX could have been recorded by all members." ā
Lu Yanhe thought about the Chen Jing he had just seen, and it didn't look like he had a physical problem.
At noon, I also practiced dancing for a long time.
Li Zhibai sighed and said: "What's wrong with you, maybe you just don't want to record it, so you found such an excuse, anyway, you don't know about the MX gang, after becoming popular, you will pick the pick, even if you pick the pick, it's okay, people are hot, and they beg them to be on the show if they are not dedicated." ā
Yan Liang: "Yes. ā
Lu Yanhe thought about it, but still said: "It shouldn't be Chen Jing's picker." ā
"Huh?" Yan Liang was a little surprised, Lu Yanhe would help Chen Jing speak at this time, "Do you know what's going on?" ā
Lu Yanhe said: "He also practiced dancing for a noon in the rehearsal room I booked at noon today, if he attaches so much importance to his performance in this show, he shouldn't pick it for no reason." ā
Yan Liang: "Then why didn't he suddenly stop recording the show?" ā
"I don't know." Lu Yanhe also shook his head, and Chen Jing he saw when he went downstairs just now came to his mind, "Maybe something happened." ā
"Is it really a physical problem?" Yan Liang asked in surprise.
"What's wrong, at most it's a twisted foot." Li Zhibai immediately said.
The two of them didn't have a good impression of MX, and they didn't even have a good impression of Chen Jing.
Although Lu Yanhe helped Chen Jing speak, it did not affect the two of them to still speculate about Chen Jing with a negative impression.
Li Zhenzhen said: "You are a company, I really want to know what's going on, just find someone who knows and ask if it's okay." ā
"What to ask, what is there to ask, their MX affairs, it has nothing to do with me." Li Zhibai immediately said.
Li Zhenzhen showed a slightly speechless expression.
After observing for a day, Li Zhenzhen also discovered that this handsome and popular male idol is actually a child who has not grown up much, and has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, and his temper and personality are easy to blow up, and he is always duplicitous.
But human nature is good.
Li Zhenzhen observed that after a day, he hoped that Li Zhibai would join his show.
An artist with such a strong self-personality is really rare in the entertainment industry.
The current idol artists are too perfect and distorted.
Among Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Zhen, it can also be seen that Li Zhibai has the most distinctive personality, and he rarely restricts, no matter who he is in front of, he is always vigorous.
-
There are a lot of people in fried chicken restaurants.
Fortunately, Li Zhibai booked a place in advance.
There was a queue of people waiting in line at the entrance of the store.
A few of them went straight into the store, which made people have a lot of opinions, and they all asked why they could go in first.
The waiter explained that they had booked a table in advance.
Someone recognized Li Zhibai.
"That's a star."
"Can celebrities not line up, is there a privilege?"
"Uh, didn't you say you booked a place in advance?"
"How come I didn't know I could book a spot in advance?"
ā¦ā¦
Li Zhibai's feet were about to step into the store, and when he heard everyone's discussions, he took his feet back, turned around and said: "Call, order good food in advance, pay the bill, and you can book a table in advance. Next time you come to eat this kind of Internet celebrity shop, take a look at the strategy, come to this kind of restaurant, isn't it clear that you want to wait for a seat, if you don't want to wait, just think of a way. ā
The person waiting for the seat looked confused and looked at Li Zhibai at a loss.
After Li Zhibai finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled, and the old god walked in under the gaze of their gaze.
Yan Liang glanced at him speechlessly and said, "You too, why do you explain so much." ā
Li Zhibai said: "What should I do if this matter is rumored on the Internet that I have star privileges?" They all recognize me. ā
He took off his mask and sighed, "You can still recognize me with a mask, I'm so red." ā
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang rolled their eyelids.
Because they ordered something in advance, they sat down soon before fried chicken, drinks, and fruits were delivered.
Worried that one fried chicken for four people would not be enough, Li Zhibai also ordered a pork chop.
Li Zhenzhen asked curiously, "Do you often go out to eat together?" ā
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"I have to come out a few times a week."
"Aren't you worried about being recognized by fans, it's troublesome?" Li Zhenzhen asked again.
Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, glanced at the two of them, and said: "You also overestimate us, except for Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and I actually don't know many people, and there seem to be some fans on the Internet, but in reality, scattered to various places, the people who know us are only better than nothing, so as not to say that it affects our travel, how can it be so popular." ā
Yan Liang also nodded in agreement, "Even if he recognizes us occasionally, he just wants to take a photo with us, which is not troublesome." ā
Li Zhenzhen smiled a little embarrassedly.
In the face of this kind of artist who tramples himself into the dust, Li Zhenzhen really doesn't know how to answer.
The artists of this age she has generally seen are a little proud.
Not to mention that everyone thinks very highly of themselves, but they are definitely not like Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, who are so sober that they even feel a little arrogant.
At this time, Li Zhibai said: "In fact, even if it is known by some people, it is nothing, it is not popular to the extent of a national superstar, why can't you go out, at most you will be stared at a few more times." ā
Li Zhenzhen thinks that the three of them are quite real, and it is rare for an artist who doesn't think of himself as a star.
Maybe it has something to do with their experience of going downhill when they debuted?
When they broadcast that talent show back then, they were also solidly popular.
Indeed, there are very few people who can taste both the peak and the bottom at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
"What are you learning every day now?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe: "Learn what is a good performance in the morning, and learn how to perform well in the afternoon, one theory, one practice." ā
Li Zhibai sighed.
"Chen Ziyan is really attentive to you."
"She arranged a lot of classes for me, Wen Minglan and Tu Song, and everyone was in class." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "It's all about letting us lay the foundation." ā
"She's quite responsible, Zhou Ping'an gave me another commercial performance this afternoon, guess what kind of work it is?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Unthinkable.
Li Zhibai said: "A real estate opened, let me go to the hot field. ā
Lu Yanhe: "...... Does he still give you this kind of commercial performance? ā
"yes, you can't think of it, right?" Li Zhibai lost his temper when he said it, "In and out of the words, people give more money, and I'm idle anyway." ā
Lu Yanhe: "Then are you going?" ā
Li Zhibai said: "I can't always refuse, I have rejected seven or eight before, and if I refuse, I think he is going to explode. ā
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Zhou Ping'an is like this, in order to make money, he doesn't consider that this kind of work will have a bad impact on Li Zhibai's image.
This kind of commercial real estate opening is a purely commercial performance, and the stage is generally very low, and there is no so-called stage design.
Li Zhibai has been complained by many fans on the Internet that taking this kind of work before, which seems too low.
The three of them complained that Zhou Ping'an didn't avoid Li Zhenzhen at all.
Li Zhenzhen used to be an assistant director with Chen Biqiu, and he often came into contact with the artist management team and dealt with many agency teams.
Li Zhibai complained about this matter, although Li Zhenzhen also felt that Zhou Ping'an was a bit excessive, but compared with other things she knew, it was still a big deal.
It can only be said that different people will do different things, and the relationships between different artists and different management teams are also strange, all kinds and everything.
Li Zhibai is an artist with a certain degree of autonomy and will not be led by the nose by the brokerage team, but some artists are more miserable, and they have completely become a tool of the brokerage team, and they have to listen to the team for everything.
"Li PD, why did you go to South Korea before?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Zhenzhen said: "Korean variety shows are very successful, I also want to learn from their experience, I have always wanted to do my own show, but if I don't improve myself, I will be able to do my own show one day, it is estimated that it will be seven or eight years later, this time I came back from studying, and Director Chen supported me and helped me to be a producer, so I got the green light of this show." ā
"Are Korean variety shows successful?"
"Well, they are different from our domestic environment, they have a small place, the market is relatively small, there are a lot of artists, several TV stations compete with each other, and the fight is very fierce, but the production budget of a program is actually so much, and it is impossible to take money to smash big-name artists to participate like we have a program. In order to stand out, they have to constantly innovate and come up with new ideas. Li Zhenzhen said, "In fact, to do variety shows is to conform to the trend of the times, to find a point that can poke everyone's commonality, many programs are completely funny, because this is the most popular trend, no matter what age the audience likes, but the homogenization is too serious, and it also makes funny programs very powerful, I am also staying in South Korea by myself, I am not familiar with life, and I have a sense of loneliness in a foreign country, and suddenly I thought of the concept of young people living together, I hope to be able to do such a show, Gather some young artists together, it is best to make an evergreen show, find a time to get together every year, shoot this show, the artists grow with the show, and the show can also grow with the artists, just like the three of you have lived together for the past three years, if someone records it, it will definitely be a very warm memory when you are in another ten or twenty years. ā
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He actually understood Li Zhenzhen's thoughts.
As soon as Li Zhenzhen said the words "stranger from a foreign land", he suddenly became enlightened.
People need friends, but not everyone is lucky enough to meet true friends.
When a show is done well, it can be a comfort.
The kind of friendship that can't be experienced in reality, feeling it from the show, is also a comfort.
