Chapter 78 Talent
The art of acting is very dependent on talent. An excellent actor can perform the multi-layered emotions required by the director, but a talented actor also needs to have a certain aura.
This kind of aura can be understood as aura or expressiveness. When you look at her performance, you don't think any of her details are particularly brilliant, but you just can't take your eyes away from her.
You will feel that she is Xi Ning herself. From her tense body, the small movements of her hands, every rise and fall of her voice, and even the trembling of Zhuhua, you can see her fear and hesitation at this time, as well as that subtle touch
ambition.
She was afraid that this was a trap. She hesitated. If she was not careful, she would die without a burial place. But at the same time, she was also asking herself, should she really refuse this opportunity? As the bottom of the biological chain in this palace, she
She is very aware of how low human life is. She has seen too many of her companions being crushed to death like ants. This opportunity at least gives her hope of getting rid of this situation where anyone can crush her to death.
That kind of struggling vitality is the charm of the character Xi Ning throughout. And this charm fatally pulls everyone's heart. In comparison, although Su Han's performance is not bad, in Chu Weilanji
In her brilliant performance, she can only be described as mediocre.
When Xu Xiangjie called the card, the scene was still quiet.
Chu Weilan was the first one to show up. She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Su Han."
Su Han looked at her with a complicated expression. She didn't want to admit that in just half a minute, a layer of sweat broke out on her back. She used all her skills just to not show her timidity in front of her.
Su Han moved her lips, but finally said nothing, turned around and went to rest.
Chu Weilan walked to Xu Xiangjie and asked slightly uneasily: "Director Xu, do you think it's okay?"
"No." Xu Xiangjie frowned.
"I'm sorry." Chu Weilan immediately apologized, "Where did I fail to handle it? I'll pay attention to it later."
"It's not you, it's Su Han." Xu Xiangjie smiled, "When you said the last line just now, Su Han didn't hold back. She was a doting concubine, and her momentum was even overpowered by a little palace maid. You are really a monster.
"
During the last makeup photo shoot, Xu Xiangjie had great confidence in Chu Weilan, but he didn't expect that this girl was even more powerful than he imagined.
Chu Weilan was a little stunned. She didn't expect to be able to suppress Su Han when she came up.
"We'll do it again later, and we need to adjust the positioning just in time." Xu Xiangjie was very excited, "Look. All the actors who have a lot of scenes with you are all nervous. If you, a newcomer, take over the scene, they will still be confused.
No more messing around.”
"That's too exaggerated." Chu Weilan laughed dryly and went to rest aside. Lin Ran immediately gave her a water glass.
"Sister Weilan, you are great." Lin Ran said excitedly, "Look, Xu Yanfei's face has changed."
Chu Weilan took a sip of water and looked at Xu Yanfei not far away. She had probably just arrived and hadn't even put on makeup or changed clothes yet.
Chu Weilan smiled at her, Xu Yanfei turned around and left with a pale face.
Next, Chu Weilan replayed the scene with Su Han, and this time it passed smoothly. After a few supporting roles, it was time for the scene opposite Chu Weilan and Xu Yanfei.
Yingxue, played by Xu Yanfei, is the eldest princess in the palace, only one year younger than Xi Ning. She was doted on by the emperor and grew up. She is unruly and willful, and has been against Xi Ning her whole life.
When Xu Yanfei was willing to take on this role, it was mainly because Yingxue had the upper hand most of the time. Of course Xu Yanfei was happy to be able to embarrass Chu Weilan in the play.
Therefore, from the beginning of the scene, she worked hard, as if she wanted to eat Chu Weilan alive. However, as soon as she made an expression, the director called her out.
"Yingxue, you are a princess. Even if you dislike Xi Ning, you will not show such a ferocious look!" Director Xu scolded, "Do it again!"
Xu Yanfei's face turned green and white, but the director on the set was the biggest, so she could only swallow her anger and start over.
"Who are you, the maid of Changchun Palace?" Yingxue looked at her warily.
Xi Ning was obviously mentally prepared for this scene. She smiled in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "To the eldest princess, I am Xue Bin, and the emperor has given me permission to live in Changchun Palace."
"Changchun Palace is the palace where my mother and concubine lived during her lifetime. My father promised me not to let anyone live in it!" Yingxue said excitedly, "You cheap maid, who let you live in it? You gave me
I’ll get out!”
"Stuck!" However, Xu Xiangjie interrupted them again, "Yingxue, you are a princess! Can you show off the aura of a princess? Xi Ning didn't kill your whole family, why are you excited?"
Xu Yanfei's face was distorted with anger. She pulled a long face and went to the side to touch up her makeup. She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw Chu Weilan's calm face, she wanted to go up and scratch her paw.
Soon, the third audition began, but it was still NG. The more NG, the angrier Xu Yanfei became, and the more her emotions were exposed during the performance. Compared with Chu Weilan, who performed steadily, Xu Yanfei looked like a clown.
With such expressiveness, no one believes that Yingxue can compete with Xi Ning for decades.
"Card!" Xu Xiangjie shouted "Card!" he didn't know how many times. He said with a livid face, "Ten minutes of rest! Xu Yanfei, come here!"
Xu Yanfei had already decided in her heart that Xu Xiangjie was deliberately embarrassing her, so when Xu Xiangjie told her about the drama, she had a cold face and didn't know how much she would listen to.
Seeing this, Chu Weilan walked to Xu Yanfei and said, "Xi Ning is just a concubine, what is it compared to the eldest princess who is favored by the emperor? Yingxue didn't take Xi Ning seriously at all at first.
Therefore, when she ordered Xi Ning to move out, her tone should be condescending and a little nonchalant, rather than angry."
Xu Yanfei stood up abruptly: "I know how to act, but I want you to talk more!"
"Am I talking too much?" Chu Weilan looked at her and smiled, "Xu Yanfei, have you forgotten how you acted in the past three years or so? Which of your scenes was not taught to you by me?"
"Shut up!" Xu Yanfei was trembling with anger, "I can act well without your teaching!"
"I hope so. If you still don't perform well, I'm afraid Director Xu will have to replace you." Chu Weilan smiled, "Start filming while we can, and the loss won't be big."
Xu Yanfei's expression completely changed.
In the end, Xu Yanfei failed to pass this scene, so Director Xu could only put a cross in the schedule and reshoot it later.
"When I usually watch TV, I feel that Xu Yanfei's acting skills are not that bad."
"Yeah! What's wrong with her today? It's like she can't act."
"If she stays like this from now on, when will the filming be finished!"
…
The staff's comments reached Xu Yanfei's ears, and she almost went crazy.
