Regarding the feelings of death, Cheng Xiaoyu should have more say than anyone else, because most people in this world only have near-death experiences at best, but Cheng Xiaoyu is different. He has real memories of death.

And this memory is still so profound, so profound that the feeling of sinking into the dark ocean without any sound, sometimes appears in his dreams. What this dream brought him was not despair, but absolute silence, with only one...

The beam of light was floating far away, as if it was within reach, but he couldn't touch it. This made him feel like he was reborn every time he woke up from a dream.

Catherine sneered and said, "It's true. Have you ever experienced it?" She still straightened her back to avoid too much physical contact with this man with ill intentions.

Cheng Xiaoyu ignored Catherine's disbelieving attitude. This was just a forgettable episode in his life. He said, "Of course what I said is true, and I have really experienced it."

Catherine asked suspiciously: "Drowning?"

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head, and then said: "No." But he did not say why, but he was silent for a long time and added: "Actually, I don't think everyone knows that the process of drowning is very short, but for most people

For actors, they chose a more convenient, faster and more intuitive way to express their struggle and pain."

Catherine remembered that this young director seemed to be filming a horror film, so she asked: "How do you think actors should express fear?" Her purpose was to see if this director was really as uneducated as gossip magazines and websites said.

technique.

Cheng Xiaoyu thought that Catherine's purpose was to discuss, thought for a moment and said: "To get to the heart of the characters and create a huge sense of disparity between strengths and weaknesses, one sentence can be summarized as: (What we are afraid of is fear itself). Of course, this sentence

The words are a bit vague. In fact, different characters will have different reactions under different circumstances, but in movies or TV series, the actors' performances are always the same, and any description and portrayal of emotions will be the same.

It has to be visible! If the audience can't see it, he won't be able to receive it, so your performance must not only start from your own feelings, but also consider how to convey the emotion of fear to the audience."

Cheng Xiaoyu has worked hard to be a good director. He has read a lot of books on how to be a good director. How to talk to actors is an essential homework for a director. For Cheng Xiaoyu, the memory in his mind is a

The cheating device allows him to compare the performances of actors in real life, and then teach actors whose performances cannot meet the requirements how to act.

Catherine listened to Cheng Xiaoyu's interpretation of drowning, death and how to express fear on his back. After thinking for a long time, she felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was not as dandy as he seemed on the surface, and he was not as ignorant about movies as the newspaper said.

Know.

But at this time, a gossip website had already exposed that Cheng Xiaoyu had already started filming his second movie non-stop. However, the editing of his first movie had not been completed and it was still far away from release, so he started shooting the second movie.

This behavior in the movie was described by various media as extreme ignorance, but Catherine now feels that she has one more option, or that she is extremely confident.

At this time, Catherine was not sure whether Cheng Xiaoyu's extreme self-confidence was a kind of arrogance. For a director, the work is the only criterion to measure the level. A director who can speak well, but the things he shoots are all bullshit.

Not a few.

After listening to Cheng Xiaoyu's remarks, Catherine just rolled her eyes and replied: "What you said is just as much a cliché as if you didn't say it."

Cheng Xiaoyu also rolled his eyes, a little speechless for this troublesome girl. He was just a director, not a teacher teaching acting classes. The two were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward. Catherine's cold skin touch and the California evening breeze

The blowing of the wind told Cheng Xiaoyu, an old driver, not to be too uncomfortable, but it was indeed the first time for Catherine to have such close contact with a man, and she felt a little uneasy and restless on Cheng Xiaoyu's back.

Fortunately, the beach Catherine chose was not far from her villa. It only took more than ten minutes for Cheng Xiaoyu to carry her from the beach to Route 66. After crossing a marble fountain, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"arrive!"

At a glance, Cheng Xiaoyu saw the towering walls extending into the endless distance. Not far from him, there were two huge and towering iron gates standing majestically. It was close to Santa Monica Beach and the spectacular sea view could be unobstructed. From this location

Look, the villas here are worth a lot of money.

Thinking of Catherine's first question "Do you really not know her?" Cheng Xiaoyu also guessed that this girl was not simple, but he didn't want to care about the identity of the girl on his back. He waited for her to ring the call bell at the door to make sure someone came out.

After picking her up, he said, "Can you stand on your own?"

Catherine was still thinking about how to deal with Cheng Xiaoyu, but it seemed that no matter what she did, it seemed inappropriate, so she said uncertainly: "You should be able to do it."

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't wait for Catherine to finish speaking, he squatted down and put her down, and said lightly: "That's it, girl."

Catherine stood leaning against the marble pillar next to the iron door, still thinking about whether to say: "Thank you." But then she thought that Cheng Xiaoyu had asked her to film a movie, and the party continued to make this request.

But Cheng Xiaoyu was just joking at first, not taking it seriously. He took a few steps forward, then turned back as if he remembered something and said: "Don't do such dangerous things in the future. Dedication is a good thing, but I think a good actor

, you should not stick to one performance method, whether it is method, experience or expression, you should be able to grasp it. An excellent actor should be able to switch freely between various performance methods in a scene. If you

If you think you can’t do it, you should at least do it, and every school has tried it.”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and left without saying goodbye. The reason why he said this was that he was moved by Catherine's professionalism. A person with such a good background was willing to risk his life in order to perform a role well.

Experiencing the role is worthy of his respect as a director.

The second is to leave a good impression on the other party, and to lay a foreshadowing if there is an opportunity to cooperate. But little did he know that Catherine had already thought that he had been thinking about this idea.

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu left so simply without leaving any contact information or asking for anything else, Catherine wondered whether her opinion of Cheng Xiaoyu was wrong. Just when she wanted to say "thank you" to Cheng Xiaoyu, the black door slowly opened

When the door opened, she quickly stopped staring at Cheng Xiaoyu's back and walked into the door without saying anything.

The person who opened the door was his grandfather Stavin Bell. He led a beagle, two golden retrievers, and two huskies and asked: "Hey! Baby, just now Bob told me that a boy carried you back? Now?

Where are others?”

Catherine's physical strength had recovered a lot at this time. Although her body was still weak, she was still able to walk. She pretended to be confused and said: "Boy? Oh! It's not a boy. It must be because Bob didn't wear reading glasses, so he saw it wrong.

"I just came back alone."

Stavin Bell sword Catherine was unwilling to admit it, smiled and said: "Okay! Honey, can you explain why you are soaked? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Catherine said expressionlessly: "Grandpa, I want to move out and live alone. Anyway, I can support myself now."

Stavin Bell had no choice but to help his beloved granddaughter, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay! Pretend I didn't ask anything and go back and change clothes! Don't catch a cold!"

Catherine nodded and asked as she walked forward: "Grandpa, what do you think a really good actor looks like?"

Stavin Bell smiled and replied: "In my opinion, there are three levels of good actors. The first one is to be able to adjust one's temperament according to the requirements of the role and the script, so that one can adapt to the role."

Stavin Bell paused and continued: "The second one is to act in whatever way you want. Just like your father, they are born to be actors."

Catherine walked vainly and asked impatiently: "What about the last one?"

Stavin Bell touched Catherine's still wet hair and said: "The last kind of actor's highest state is that he not only performs well, but also inspires the performances of his peers."

Catherine relaxed, thinking that she was almost fooled by the Asian director just now. His answer was completely different from her grandfather's answer, but of course the correct answer was her grandfather's answer. She originally planned to pay attention to this nosy person.

directed by an Asian, now Catherine felt it was unnecessary.

As the two walked on the winding cobblestone road, Catherine asked curiously: "Isn't an actor's box office ability important to a director?"

Stavin Bell laughed "haha" and said: "For an unconfident director, this is of course important."
