Two days later, the qualifying score for the undergraduate art examination came out, with a score of 192, 12 points higher than last year's score. However, Chen Minhao scored 276 points, more than 80 points above the qualifying score, which was more than enough to register for Beijing Film Academy and China Theater Academy.
Chen Minhao knows that the improvement of cultural courses can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Achieving excellent results in the school entrance examinations of Beijing Film Academy and China National Theater is the most important thing.
What Teacher Wu Gang said some time ago: "With your current abilities, it should be no problem to get into a school that is similar to you, but if you aspire to go to a top school like Beijing Film Academy or China National Theater, it will be quite difficult." It still lingers in Chen Minhao's mind. .
Therefore, for Chen Minhao, the top priority is to make another breakthrough in his acting skills in the short term.
Chen Minhao's original plan was to watch some classic clips of the movie stars, especially the parts of the movie stars' performances that touched him. Imitate their performances to get the best out of them.
Chen Minhao acted for himself in the mirror and put his mobile phone next to him so that he could easily see the effect of his performance.
However, the benefits were very small. At the end of the day, Chen Minhao felt that his improvement was very small.
After much thought, he felt that finding someone to guide him would be far more effective than being blind and trying to figure out the elephant.
Teacher Wu Gang said that he has very little to teach himself, so now it’s almost the same if he finds other teachers who teach drama. After calculating his current connections, Zhao Yao is the only one who has the strength to guide him.
Director Zhao Yao is really awesome. Not only is he good at directing, but judging from the fact that he gave instructions to several actors during the filming of "Bing Di Lian", although he is not an actor, he is more than enough to guide himself.
As for whether Zhao Yao is willing to spend time on himself, that is another question. Not trying hard because of fear of failure is not Chen Minhao's style.
Northern Xinjiang Desert.
As soon as "Bing Di Lian" aired, Zhao Yao had no time to spare and immediately went to the desert to shoot a new movie.
The conditions for filming in the desert were relatively difficult, but the actors were very cooperative, so the filming progress was pretty good. But something went wrong with the movie's theme song. The original planned theme song was composed by his old partner Wu Hongrong, but last time he encouraged Wu Hongrong to set up his own studio and recruit new singers to train himself, Wu Hongrong no longer had time to compose songs for himself.
This can be regarded as shooting oneself in the foot!
If the theme song of a movie is good, on the one hand, it can add a lot of color to the movie. On the other hand, the theme song can also be used as a very effective promotional tool. However, the crew's funds are very limited and they cannot hire famous artists to create the film.
Having a headache means you have to make do with it if it doesn't work. Zhao Yao sighed, got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to draw the storyboards for the scenes to be shot tomorrow.
"ZZZ~", the phone is vibrating. Zhao Yao glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was Chen Minhao.
After Zhao Yao picked up the phone.
Chen Minhao knew that Director Zhao must be busy, so he did not exchange excessive greetings. After congratulating Director Zhao, he went straight to the topic and said that he was about to take the art exam, but encountered difficulties in his acting skills.
If Chen Minhao was just an ordinary new actor with potential, Zhao Yao might be able to handle it with just a few words. How much he can comprehend depends on him. But besides being a new actor, Chen Minhao is also a good singer and creator.
The theme song "Xiaoyao Tan" he composed for "Bingdilian" added a lot to the TV series. A few days ago, he had a song called "Sweet", and many girls on the crew were singing it in a low voice.
Zhao Yao originally asked the assistant director to inquire about the market price of Chen Minhao's lyrics and music. As a result, the answer was far beyond the crew's budget, so Zhao Yao gave up the idea of looking for Chen Minhao.
Now, as a favor to Chen Minhao, it would be a good idea to give him a discount on the theme song.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Yao said cheerfully: "Then let me tell you my understanding.
Take your role in "Bing Di Lian" as an example. Many people on the Internet praised your performance, but in my opinion, your performance was not interesting enough.
Because you have never met Xiao Wangshu, you can only act according to your own understanding. If this continues, your next role will still have to be performed according to your own understanding. Over time, the actor you play will have your own label.
It’s not that it’s bad to do this, but the more you do it, the less flavorful the character will be in your performance.
Less taste means that if you play a beggar, the audience will think that Chen Minhao has become a beggar, instead of forgetting that you are Chen Minhao and only remember that you are a beggar. To perform with flavor, you need to have a full understanding of the character you are playing. The less you imagine, the more real the character will be. "
"You're going to Beijing Film and Television School and China National Theater School to take the exam, right?" Zhao Yao snorted coldly and added: "Those academics like to see the hardships of students playing small people in society, so you have recently been observing how small people live, How to work, such as waiters, migrant workers, cleaners...
People with different identities have different words and deeds. You should observe and observe first. If you have any questions or ideas, please call me. "
The phone call lasted nearly 40 minutes.
I have to say that director Zhao Yao is quite interesting, and Chen Minhao regretted not starting the recording.
Chen Minhao knew that the other party was so kind to him and he might want something from him in the future. But in today's society, we are not afraid of others asking for anything from us, but we are afraid of being worthless in the eyes of others.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Minhao took a few deep breaths and wrote down everything Director Zhao Yao said with a pen.
As for what Zhao Yao said about the key points of the school examination, Chen Minhao believed it. Because when Teacher Zhang taught him his lines, he often used the hungry farmers in the northwest and the teenagers who dropped out of school to work at Foxconn to evaluate himself.
Early the next morning, Chen Minhao went out wearing sunglasses and a mask.
Chen Minhao originally wanted to visit the construction site, but on the one hand he was not allowed to enter the construction site, and on the other hand, most construction sites were shut down in winter.
Chen Minhao chose a cafe called "Cat in the Attic". After ordering a cup of cappuccino, Chen Minhao sat in the corner and watched a male waiter.
Chen Minhao spent the entire morning watching him, watching how he took orders, how he cashed out, how he dealt with the broken cups from customers, and how he stopped customers who overly abused their cats.
The coffee shop was very quiet. Chen Minhao's phone rang suddenly. It was Kang Hui.
After Chen Minhao picked up, Kang Hui said loudly:
"Chen Minhao, what are you doing?"
"A paparazzi sent me a set of photos, saying that you were staring at a male waiter in a coffee shop all morning. The paparazzi said that he also took a video. If you don't pay, he will send the video and say You're gay and you spent the whole morning staring at a handsome male waiter in a coffee shop."
Chen Minhao subconsciously looked around, and there was a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap diagonally across from his seat, waving to him arrogantly.
Chen Minhao walked to the bathroom of the coffee shop, lowered his voice, and explained patiently: He called Director Zhao to ask for help, and then Director Zhao gave him detailed instructions, so he watched every move of the male waiter in the coffee shop.
Kang Hui's voice turned from anger to joy, "Director Zhao is so busy, yet he is willing to give you such detailed guidance. It means that he still thinks highly of you. Okay, I understand. You can continue to observe with peace of mind. I will take care of the paparazzi matter. .”
Very late, there is another chapter
