Lu Tan put his work until the morning. After taking a break at noon, he came to Ye Cheng's villa in Jiangcheng.
This villa is located on the bank of the Lingjiang River. It is a proper river-view mansion. It is said that several celebrities who have settled in Jiangcheng live here. When you go out to throw away the garbage, you can see the big stars from the Lunar New Year show or the CEO of a listed company.
Lu Tiaoping didn't care about this. Since he had agreed, he would definitely educate Ye Cheng well.
He studied Ye Cheng's variety shows and found that it was not that he had no acting skills, but that he was unable to perform naturally.
For example, in variety shows, sometimes there are some deliberately designed "accidental" scenes. This is an advanced technique for shaping a star's personality, making the audience think that the star actually behaves like this outside the camera, thus attracting fans.
.
But in fact, these are all pre-planned. What you think is true expression is actually just a performance.
And Ye Cheng is the kind of person who can tell at a glance that he is acting.
To put it simply, some people perform wonderfully without leaving any trace, because they can ignore the audience or the camera, fully immerse themselves in the performance, and embody the characteristics of the character. Some people have mastered a strong acting method and can express themselves to the audience.
The audience or camera shows the character's personality.
The former may be a talent type, while the latter is mostly a hard-working type.
Ye Cheng, on the other hand, is the type who has no talent and doesn't work hard enough.
In fact, judging from Lu Tian's observation, Ye Cheng is not the kind of scumbag who just doesn't work hard.
Many people will also encounter when they are students, there is a classmate in the class who works hard and carefully, does more questions than everyone else, and pays more attention to the lectures than everyone else, but does not do well in the exam.
Ye Cheng is one of them.
"Director Lu, Teacher Lu, I think I can't act out a state of fear. Is it because I'm too courageous?"
After being taught by Lu Jian for a period of time, Ye Cheng, who successfully evolved from the photoshopped emoticon package to the original emoticon package, suddenly said.
"Are you too brave?"
Lu Tan didn't quite understand what Ye Cheng meant.
"Yes, I have been very courageous since I was a child. I don't believe in any gods or ghosts, and I can watch horror movies without blinking. Is it possible that this is the reason why I can't be very careful when performing fear and fear emotions?
Well represented, according to Stanislavsky's theory..."
When Ye Cheng was about to talk endlessly, Lu Tan interrupted him again.
"I think this may not be the reason for your poor acting skills."
Lu Tian said seriously, but then he thought about it. Ye Cheng, the rich second generation, had a smooth life. Perhaps he had never encountered any panic or fear. Just like Lu Tian, he didn't know what it meant to be ugly.
What kind of experience, my own guidance to Ye Cheng, maybe he really should stop eating minced meat.
“Have you seen ‘The Cry’?”
Thinking of this, Lu Tan suddenly asked.
"I haven't watched it yet... No, Director Lu, that's not what I meant. I'm just very busy with my program schedule recently, so I don't have time to watch it..."
Ye Cheng blurted out and hurriedly explained.
"Let's take a look together and give you a feel."
Lu Jian said.
Although "Crying" has been released in theaters and the video website has not yet been launched, Lu Jian owns the original film. Ye Cheng's villa has a special audio-visual room. The two went in and closed the door, and Lu Jian started playing "Crying"
》.
More than a hundred minutes later, Lu Tiao turned on the light.
He saw Ye Cheng's face was pale and he was sitting on the sofa. His original cheerful expression was gone, and he was only holding on to the armrest, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
"How about it?"
Lu Tan patted him on the shoulder.
"ah!"
Ye Cheng suddenly jumped up after being slapped by Lu Tiao. He huddled in the corner, hugging his shoulders and trembling.
"Don't come over, don't come over, don't come over..."
His lips were blue and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had really seen a ghost.
"Isn't this a good performance?"
Lu Tan looked at Ye Cheng's performance and was quite satisfied.
Sure enough, all methods, experientialism and expressionism are theoretical knowledge. Only when people have truly experienced fear can they express the emotion of fear.
After giving Ye Cheng two glasses of water and letting him calm down, Lu Tiao spoke again.
"Now recall the passage you just saw and act out a fearful expression."
"......good."
Ye Cheng closed his eyes and pondered for a while, recalling the plot in "Crying", and then opened his eyes.
"You, don't come over!"
His expression was slightly ferocious, his eyes widened, and he actually looked a bit frightened.
only......
"It's not enough."
Lu Tan said while holding his chin.
Ye Cheng now has some foundation in the expression of fear, but it is only limited to fear.
Moreover, his performance was too raw and his emotional expression was not adequate. To put it simply, if they didn't watch Lu Jian carefully for a while, the audience would not be able to tell that he was scared.
"The character's fear is an important part of horror movies. If the character's fear is unreal, the movie will not scare the audience. Therefore, your current performance is not enough."
Lu Tan thought, if letting Ye Cheng watch horror movies can improve his acting skills to a certain extent, then if he is directly allowed to experience scary scenes, can his acting skills be greatly improved?
After thinking about it, Lu Tan quickly made a decision.
"Well, I have a special training method here. Although it may be a little difficult, it should be able to improve your acting skills quickly. Do you want to try it?"
"Of course!"
Ye Cheng did not hesitate.
"Okay, let's do this. You can spend the night at my house tonight and I will make arrangements for you."
Lu Jian said.
"Sleeping the night? Director Lu, are you trying to hide from me?"
Ye Cheng looked confused.
"I think if I unspoken rules for you, you would still make money in the end."
Lu Tan was serious.
"..."
Ye Cheng was speechless.
"Anyway, if you take care of yourself, in just one night, I'm sure your acting skills will skyrocket, and you might even be able to win an Oscar."
Lu Tan patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder.
In the evening, Ye Cheng followed the address given by Lu Jian and came to his community.
Lu Tian was hanging out at the gate of the community waiting for Ye Cheng.
"Let's go, let's have a good meal first so that we won't be unable to eat later."
Lu Tan pointed at a restaurant at random.
"?"
Ye Cheng didn't understand what Lu Tan meant.
He usually wouldn't go to this kind of roadside stall. It's unhygienic and not necessarily delicious, but since Lu Tiao asked, he didn't put on any airs and just ate with Lu Tiao.
When he was almost done eating, Lu Tan took out another piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Ye Cheng.
"You sign this first."
Ye Cheng unfolded the piece of paper and found that it was a personal accident notification letter. It was usually required to sign in some potentially dangerous sports or events, informing him that accidents and accidents might occur.
"Director Lu, is this necessary?"
Ye Cheng smiled, but seeing Lu Tiao's serious expression, he still read the notice carefully and signed his name.
He felt that this might be Lu Kan's preparation for future teaching. Some variety shows would also have similar operations to increase the sense of immersion for the guests. As far as Ye Cheng himself was concerned, it was quite realistic.
Then, Lu Tiao took out another piece of paper.
"While there is a table here, let's write a suicide note. Nothing else, just in case."
