Xu An shouted: "Card."
Chen Minhao asked Wang Aiying in surprise: "Teacher Wang, is this really your first time acting?"
Wang Aiying smiled shyly and said, "Yes, for the first time, I don't even know how well I performed."
When Chen Minhao was filming "Bingdilian", director Zhao Yao once said, "In the actor industry, you are not a talented player." When filming "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", Xing Xi also said: "You are talented. Limited, not a born actor." The word "talent" is a mysterious and mysterious thing for Chen Minhao. He once thought that through hard work, he could be the first in Beijing Film Academy's art exam, and his talent should not be bad.
As for other people's denials, Chen Minhao never cared about it. He is not someone who needs the approval of others to move forward. If he had to rely on others' approval to continue his career, then as an orphan in his previous life, he would definitely not have been able to get into Kyoto University.
But after he finished playing opposite Wang Aiying today, he finally understood how to write the word "talent" in the actor industry. What's even more annoying is that this talented person is strong but doesn't realize it.
Chen Minhao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Teacher Wang, I think your acting is very good. Can you play with me a few more times? Please help me."
Before Wang Aiying could speak, Xu An shouted towards Chen Minhao: "Xiao Chen, come here first."
Xu An stood up, moved his seat under the director's monitor, and said: "Xiao Chen, sit down and watch your performance. Wang Aiying's performance is natural. Simply summed up in one word, it's 'real'. Please pay attention." Look at her facial features, expression, and movements. Although she didn't say a word in the last shot, she conveyed a lot of emotions.
After you turned your head and saw that the child was gone, there was no part for her in the script, but she ran out from behind the counter without saying a word, and looked with you to see where the child had gone. Although there is nothing in the script that emphasizes the need to do this, when she does it, she will act very realistically, as if she is living in that scene."
Xu An paused and added meaningfully: "Xiao Chen, but look at your performance, you turned your head and couldn't see the child's surprise. I believe the audience can also feel your surprise, but you acted very well. Fake, the audience knows you are acting. In fact, this is just a MV. Such a performance is completely justified, but Xiao Chen, you have to remember one thing,'
The actor fools the director, and the director fools the work. After the final work is released, the audience will fool you and tease you. As an actor, you always have to be in awe of your work. "
Chen Minhao couldn't help but smile because he remembered the mantra of his high school mathematics teacher in his previous life: "In class, you fool the teacher and don't listen carefully; when you wait for the exam, the test questions fool you and tease you!"
The figures of the math teacher in his previous life and Xu An gradually overlapped. Both of them had dedicated their lives to their careers. Chen Minhao asked seriously: "Actually, I have similar feelings when I watch my own performance. What should I do?" What can I do to make the audience feel that my acting is real?"
Xu An smiled and said: "As an actor, conveying the plot is only the most basic job. Xiao Chen, if you can only act in accordance with the requirements of the director and the script, and act out the plot that needs to be acted, then you will not be able to live up to your expectations for the rest of your life. If you can only work on the small screen, your ceiling is already there. It is difficult to enter the film industry or become the protagonist in a movie."
Chen Minhao asked puzzledly: "But isn't the role of an actor to bring the script to life and tell the story clearly?"
Xu An laughed contemptuously and said: "This is just a way of playing on the small screen. In fact, when filming a TV series, actors are like chess pieces used by the director to tell stories, while the top actors on the big screen, their What's more important in performance is to convey emotions. Emotions are abstract, but good actors can make the audience feel the same and let the audience take on their own roles.
If your performance cannot be natural, then you must deliberately work in that direction and work hard to perform as naturally as possible. "
Xing Xi, who was on the side, also nodded frequently and said to Chen Minhao: "Director Xu's words are very high-level. You should think about it carefully. Even if you join Beijing Film Academy in the future, there may not be anyone who can give you such general direction guidance."
In a daze, Chen Minhao felt the resentment that Xing Xi had accumulated for a long time because of the fact that he did not choose to be in the movie, but chose Beijing Film Academy.
Xu An patted Chen Minhao on the shoulder and said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The more pressure you have, the worse your performance will be. I hope you can put all your energy into figuring out how to act. You first Go aside and think about it, we'll come back in 30 minutes."
30 minutes later, the field steward shouted: "Game 17, the second start."
At 30 seconds, director Xu An shouted: "It's stuck. Xiao Chen, come here."
Xu An said with a smile: "Yesterday, Mr. Xing, told me that you are the kind of actor on the crew who can quickly adjust himself. I was a little skeptical at first, but now I see that your performance is much better than the last one. "
Hearing Xu Ande's praise, Chen Minhao's heart did not waver at all. He just looked forward to it silently and never had a "but".
"However, I think it's still not good enough. Because you are better-looking, when the audience sees your face, their first reaction is: 'This is Chen Minhao.' Their emotions make it difficult for them to play your role. character of."
Chen Minhao subconsciously asked: "Is it still a mistake to be handsome?"
Xu An nodded seriously and said: "In a sense, being handsome is a mistake. Being an actor is the same as being a spy, because being particularly good-looking will leave a profound impact on people. This will cause a bottleneck in your career. Therefore, you need to have more acting skills than ordinary-looking actors in order to put the audience into the role."
It was the first time Chen Minhao heard this statement, and he subconsciously asked: "But I think the best actor and the best actress are both good-looking."
Xu An showed a smile that understood the world: "Because there is no shortage of people with good looks and good acting skills in this world, and it is difficult for ordinary-looking people to get the leading role, so there will be nothing to talk about for movie kings and movie queens. ”
There were not many extras in the "Father" MV shooting crew, but each extra felt like their hearts were being poked and prodded by Xu An with a silver needle.
It really hurts!
Xu An patted his shoulder again and said, "I'll give you another 30 minutes. I'm very much looking forward to what kind of answer sheet you can give me in 30 minutes."
Just like the high school class teacher talking to his classmates, Teacher Xu asked "the underachiever Chen" to leave and called "the top student Wang" into the office.
Xu An asked with a smile: "Xiao Wang, your acting is good. Have you really never acted in the past?"
Wang Aiying smiled, waved her hand and said, "No."
Xu An's smile became even warmer: "Xiao Wang, you acted really well just now. I can see that you are quite talented. I have a new project to be launched at the end of this year. There is a role in it, although there are not many scenes. , it’s only about 3 minutes of footage, but I think it suits your temperament and appearance.”
Wang Aiying asked: "Where will it be filmed? How long will it take to film?"
"Filming in Sichuan. It will take about a month. You can join the team at the end of December."
After hearing this, Wang Aiying shook her head and said, "That won't work. Our Lao Xing can't live without me."
Xing Xi immediately interrupted Wang Aiying and said, "If a director as big as Xu An invites you, just go. Don't you often ask me about my time on the set? Just take this opportunity for you to experience it."
Wang Aiying said with a smile: "But after I go there, no one will cook for you."
"It's okay. I'll join the Shu crew with you then."
… .
Chen Minhao silently picked up his little Maza, ran to the other side of the set and sat down, thinking about how to perform tomorrow. Director Xu's invitation to Wang Aiying originally made him a little envious and jealous. Unexpectedly, after my career was hit, I would still be stuffed with a mouth full of dog food.
Chen Minhao suddenly felt an indescribable confidence in his next performance: Jealousy makes me ugly. When I become ugly, I also become stronger!
