Chapter 5 Learning
Xu Rong only acted as a spectator from beginning to end.
He has a clear positioning of himself, an amateur actor who has obtained roles beyond his ability through inconspicuous means.
For big guys like Jiang Wen and Zhang Wanting, even if the human head is made of a dog head, he can only hide from afar and watch the fun.
He thought that one of the two would compromise in the end, but in the afternoon, Zhang Wanting threw away Jiang Wen and started shooting.
"Director, is this appropriate?"
"I am the director, you are the director?"
After the assistant director was criticized, everyone in the crew saw the situation clearly and obediently. Or they could learn from Jiang Wen and go to the car to rest.
"Xu Rong, are you ready?" Chen Dong walked over nervously and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"
Xu Rong nodded and said, "No problem."
Chen Dong seemed to be afraid of getting beaten up, so he led Xu Rong and waited on the side. After Zhang Fengyi had a rest, he walked over and asked with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, do you see if you have time, let's take a look first?"
"He is Xu Rong, who plays Fu Lin."
Zhang Fengyi glanced at Xu Rong, quickly put down the water cup, stood up and said, "If you have time, you have time, let's start now."
Seeing that Zhang Fengyi, who was more humble than himself, suddenly understood a truth: In addition to their own professional level, his behavior is also a crucial factor.
Otherwise, no one would have paid attention to it before he became a good person.
Zhang Fengyi looked at Xu Rong again, guessing that he was not old, and asked, "Have you memorized the lyrics well?"
"I've memorized it."
Xu Rongzi will not be careless about this. If he wants to make money and eat, he either has strong abilities or has a good attitude. His professional level is average, so he can only find compensation from his attitude.
"Teacher Zhang, go first?"
"Then let's go first." Zhang Fengyi showed a nervous look when he saw him, and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, is it the first time filming?"
Xu Rong coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said, "No, but I don't have much experience. If something is wrong, please give me more responsibility."
Zhang Fengyi did not say he was responsible, nor did he say he was not responsible, but said, "Let's try it out first."
"Let's get started."
Xu Rong thought about it, and according to his practice in the hotel, he slowly said: "Uncle Fourteenth, you misunderstood. This must be done. It is better to be happy with the Emperor and Uncle Fourteenth. That's how I think..."
Zhang Fengyi raised his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Stop, your pace is too fast, don't hurry, take your time."
Xu Rong opened her mouth and finally said, "Okay."
"Uncle Fourteenth, you misunderstood. This matter must be done. Both the emperor and the 14th uncle are happy..."
"It's still not possible. It's too tight. Relax a little. I'm worried about you." Zhang Fengyi saw that Xu Rong's foundation was too bad and his rhythm was messy.
Seeing that Xu Rong was at a loss, Zhang Fengyi knew that one sentence or another could not be explained clearly, and said, "Look at me and look carefully."
He paused for two or three seconds, and the expression on his face softened a lot, and he slowly said, "Uncle Fourteenth, you misunderstood. This is what I think. Can Uncle Fourteenth and Uncle Eight be living in the palace and the mansion? In this way, moving from time to time is fresh, so that I won't be bored."
This time, Xu Rong understood what Zhang Fengyi was talking about.
He remembered it very clearly that Zhang Fengyi gave people a slightly domineering feeling when he was filming just now, but when he talked about his lines, he deliberately adjusted the speed of the lines and the interval between tone pauses, which was very different in his senses from before.
Under cowardice, you can vaguely see a bit of tolerance.
It was like a stranger who suddenly rushed to him.
What made Xu Rong feel most amazing was that Zhang Fengyi did not show too many expressions on his face, but just listening to him, he could roughly feel the positioning of the character. At the distance between the two of them was only three or four meters apart, the impact seemed even stronger.
After a while, Xu Rong bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
"It's okay, do it again."
"Uncle Fourteenth, you misunderstood. This matter must be done. It is better to be happy with the Emperor and the Emperor. I think so. Can the Fourth Uncle and the Emperor stay in the palace and the mansion be separated by a while? In this way, it will be fresh from time to time to move, so that it will be avoided."
"Hey, that's right, but you don't have to deliberately imitate me. Everyone has different styles. Sometimes you can express it according to your own ideas."
After the two of them passed again, they started to shoot officially.
"start"
"Uncle Fourteen, you misunderstood..."
"Card."
"Pass."
Seeing the director shouting, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Zhang Fengyi again: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
If Zhang Fengyi hadn't demonstrated it to him just now, he would probably have ended up being scolded by Zhang Wanting, who was still gloomy.
Only then did he realize that his previous thoughts were too naive. With his current abilities, he could play a passerby, but it was basically unlikely to shape the role.
"You're welcome" Zhang Fengyi patted his shoulder and said, "But I feel that you are not suitable for the actors."
Xu Rong's smile froze on his face and asked subconsciously: "Why did Teacher Zhang say that?"
"I'm not trying to hit you on purpose, but I'm afraid you'll be wasting time," Zhang Fengyi pondered for a while and explained: "You lack the most fundamental thing about an actor, spirituality, that kind of spirituality that makes the character live."
Seeing Xu Rong's face getting worse and worse, Zhang Fengyi stopped talking. He didn't want to hit him, but he knew very well that Xu Rong would never be able to become a good actor in his life, and his upper limit was visible.
Finally, Xu Rong forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang for your advice."
"What's wrong? Didn't you pass it once? Why are you in a bad mood?" Li Fengjie was in a low mood when she saw Xu Rong finishing the filming, and joked: "Are you unhappy if you didn't play against Teacher Xu?"
"I asked casually, are you still taking it seriously?" Xu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Teacher Zhang Fengyi said just now that I have no spirituality and advised me to change careers as soon as possible."
Li Tingjie curled her lips and said, "If you don't have spirituality, you can't be an actor? I tell you, someone has said this before, but what's wrong? You can't make big money or small money? You can make money by your ability, and you won't be terrified."
"Brother Li, what is spirituality?"
"If I knew you could still sit here and talk to me?"
Xu Rong was just depressed for a while. After seeing the experience value increase a little, he quickly recovered his motivation. Without spirituality, he wouldn't have it. He believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself.
"No."
Just looking at the sudden increase in experience value, the joy was gradually replaced by doubts. Today, I have not seen a few more performances in my own performances, plus watching others.
After thinking for a while, a guess arose in his mind. He felt that the main reason was the shooting just now. Unlike the practice alone in the hotel before, he was imitating Zhang Fengyi, especially with Zhang Fengyi himself guiding him.
He felt as if he had discovered a new continent, and he couldn't help but be excited.
However, if the guess is correct, it will take an experiment to know. However, once it is successful, he will be very sure to increase the experience value quickly.
After the scene, Xu Rong did not go back with Li Fengjie, but instead found a corner to sit and took out the script. He would carefully consider which paragraph Zhang Fengyi played.
Although no one corrected and guided the situation, there were few opportunities to see Zhang Fengyi’s on-site demonstration.
After Zhang Fengyi's suggestions, he understood that his talent may be much worse than actors of the same age. Although the system is powerful, he still needs to accumulate experience points a little bit.
However, he also found that simply imitating others without anyone guiding him, the increase in experience value was not as fast as expected.
Until the work was over at 1:30 in the morning, Xu Rong was very encouraged when he looked at the four experience points added by the system.
If he continues at this pace, he probably will be able to accumulate nearly 200 points by the time the filming of this drama will be completed, and the comprehensive evaluation of the system should be improved to level D.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, why haven't you gone back?"
Zhang Fengyi got into the car and looked at Xu Rong who was sitting on the bus and asked strangely.
Xu Rong joked, not too young, and said, "I was hit by Teacher Zhang today. I was not convinced, so I wanted to learn to see how you acted."
Zhang Fengyi was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "You boy, this kind of energy is OK."
"Teacher Zhang, do you know each other?" The one who got into the car was a middle-aged man with a national face of about the same age as Zhang Fengyi. But he didn't know what the two of them were talking about. Seeing Zhang Fengyi pointing at Xu Rong and laughing, he asked curiously.
Seeing that it was Sun Zhun in the same group, Xu Rong hurriedly stood up and said, "Teacher Sun."
Sun Zhun has a national face, big eyes, and a black baseball cap. Except for him, the male actors in the crew are obviously preparing for it.
Zhang Fengyi collapsed in the seat and introduced: "Xiao Xu, Xu Rong, he played Fulin, you haven't met him yet?"
"Teacher Sun calls me Xiao Xu."
Seeing Xu Rong standing there, Sun Zhun smiled and said, "Hello, don't be so polite."
When the car started, Zhang Fengyi suddenly turned his head, looked at Xu Rong who was sitting opposite the aisle, and asked, "By the way, you said you watched me act, have you figured out something?"
"I feel that rhythm is more important than expression?!" Xu Rong thought about it first before saying tentatively.
"This is the reason, you can play it."
"Yes, look." Sun Zhun was tired for a day, and now he was just having fun and started to cheer on the side.
Xu Rong turned around and looked at the half-way person who was lying on the bus and asked, "Now?"
"What else? Acting is something that makes people watch. Why? Do you still want to shut yourself up in the house and watch yourself? That's called working behind closed doors and not making any progress."
Xu Rong thought about it, and felt that Zhang Fengyi's words were reasonable and said, "Then I will imitate your part."
As he said that, he performed a scene between Zhang Fengyi and Xu Qing today, because no one played him, so he only played half of it.
After he finished his performance, Zhang Fengyi sat upright and said, "It's a little better than in the afternoon, but I'm still a little anxious. Look, 'He doesn't need my advice', you can't just go straight, you have to grasp the key points, that is, highlight the 'guiding' from the whole sentence, and 'What he really needs'. You'd better bring this half sentence with a little breath and highlight the 'it' of the second half. You are shaping the role, not talking straight, and not rushing to say the lines."
"I understand, thank you Teacher Zhang."
"Thank you, you have done it. I can save a lot of trouble when we play."
"Ha ha"
Seeing Zhang Fengyi's face showing fatigue, Xu Rong said: "Teacher Zhang, you can rest first."
