Wen Ying was also slightly moved after watching Zhou Zhou's performance. Of course, in her opinion, Zhou Zhou's performance still needs to be polished, but when it comes to his experience, it has to be admirable. He has traveled all the way, and he studied in the most common college. Although his job is in the entertainment industry, there is a big gap between variety show stars and actors. Their performances may be very good, but what the variety show stage pays attention to is an exaggerated one. effect, not necessarily applicable to the lens.
But Zhou Zhou's performance fully proves that he is different. On the variety show stage, he magnifies his performance as much as possible, making people feel humorous and amusing. In the acting mode, his body and expression are all restrained. This is a very difficult thing, because acting also has a kind of inertia, he is used to zooming in, and it takes time to adapt to zooming out. But it was only a few days before she negotiated a contract with him, and she was quite satisfied that he could do this.
"Not bad." She finished her assessment, "Have you practiced at home? Very hard."
Zhou Zhou was startled, pursed his lips and said "um", and then lowered his head again.
Only the flickering phone screen revealed his dazed face.
He thought that no one would know the adjustments he made in private. It was the same every time as usual. No matter how much effort he put in behind the scenes, no one would pay attention. Look out.
What's more, the person standing next to her is Ning Xiao—he has known Ning Xiao for a long time, and has been paying attention to him. He doesn't understand why there is such a big gap between people. They are the same age, but he has already reached He is jealous that the other party can act from a young age, that he can be recognized by everyone, that even if he has a bad temper, there will be so many people who tolerate him and guide him patiently, just because his face is big enough pretty.
And now...
When he saw the other party's manager standing in front of him, looking at him with admiration, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of joy in his heart.
When Ning Xiao's filming started, Wen Ying dragged Zhou Zhou to the set to observe.
"You are very smart in acting, and you have your own way of thinking about characters. You have a good sense of understanding." She told him as she walked, "But filming is not exactly the same as pure acting. The camera will not point at you the whole time. Face shots, they will move and change. Maybe the content you want to shoot is not the same as the final effect. You must remember that the director is the one who controls the whole scene. You are not the center or even the main one. Role. The script in a play is very important, and the rest, photographers, sets, stylists, scene notes, editing... are all indispensable parts, and as an actor, although everyone, including the camera, surrounds you , but you have to understand that you are just a cog in it.”
Wen Ying did not forget to observe his expression when he spoke, Zhou Zhou is a person with low self-esteem and self-esteem.
A gifted person always obtains the ability that others pursue all his life too easily. He is only limited by his appearance, but sooner or later he will soar to the sky, and before that, she must fight this falcon that has not yet spread its wings and let him Able to fly higher and farther.
"Of course, you have your own ideas and can communicate with the director, but in fact - communication may not lead to a good result. At this time, all you have to do is to adjust your performance. A good actor knows how to stand in the midst of countless ng Read the rules, rather than repeat over and over again what he thinks he has done best."
Her words made Zhou Zhou look thoughtful, her understanding of actors made him feel relieved, and her meticulous guidance and her generous teaching of her own experience made his heart feel full and full. overflowing emotions.
This emotion seems to have given birth to motivation, making him strongly desire to act.
Just as the woman's voice finished, he saw Ning Xiao. Ning Xiao in front of the camera is completely different from his state in the locker room. He changed his self-centered temper, listened carefully to the director's needs for the camera, raised his own questions from time to time, and memorized them by heart. After the filming started, the slate was laid down, and he walked familiarly between the cameras, knowing every position by heart, the director in front of the monitor nodded frequently, but still shouted ut, and then asked someone to adjust Ning Xiao The wind-blown shape of the back of the robe is not beautiful enough for the camera.
Ning Xiao's mood was interrupted.
Zhou Zhou, who was substituting the characters in the play unconsciously, also paused. The inspiration that kept appearing in his mind immediately became blank after this interruption, but soon, he heard the crisp sound of the slate playing again, and he hadn't been able to adjust his state and come back to his senses in time.
However, Ning Xiao has re-entered the state, and played You Sheng for the first time, and it seems that he has never been blocked.
"How about it?"
He heard Wen Ying ask.
He stared at the person in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "Very powerful."
"This is his advantage." Wen Ying's gaze was also on Ning Xiao. Ning Xiao, who had been playing around in front of the camera since she was a child, was like the most familiar partner with both the set and the camera, and could easily grasp their characteristics. , this is not an innate ability, but a tacit understanding cultivated day after day.
This crew is filming a play from youth to youth, and Ning Xiao will play the role of an emperor with a long history. Naturally, he could perform very well when he was a teenager, but at the beginning, the producers and directors doubted whether he could play the emperor well in his youth.
Until he finished reading the script all night, discussed with her to make annotations, overturned the definition again and again, and gradually perfected it. On the day of the audition, his performance conquered all the judges.
Looking at his calm performance now, it seemed as if she saw a work polished by her own hands, which made her eyes become far-reaching, and she focused on him for a longer time.
Zhou Zhou noticed her expression almost immediately, he paused in his heart, looked straight ahead firmly and said: "He is very powerful, but...give me a little time, I can do the same."
Wen Ying successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the two people to compete with each other. Because of Zhou Zhou, Ning Xiao started to be wary of the possibility of being overtaken before he could be complacent. He didn't need Wen Ying to remind him, he spent more More time is devoted to the interpretation of the characters in the script.
As for Zhou Zhou...
Wen Ying threw Zhou Zhou's training and weight loss plan in front of him.
"If you want to enter the crew to act, you are still far away. Start learning the basics and exercising your body from today." She took off the gold-rimmed glasses she wore when she was working overtime, and clicked on the schedule, "If you don't get me If you agree, I will not accept the play for you."
"... Xuezang?"
This noun made her nod her head and smile, "That's right, instead of letting you go out and smash my license plate, it's better to hide it in the snow."
Zhou Zhou trembled inexplicably in her smile, and after reading the plan, he fell silent completely.
If the weight-loss plan he made for himself was a pain (and didn't stick to it), then the plan his agent made for him was a deep torture. But in any case, the desire to act overwhelmed everything, and he began to follow the plan and undergo hellish training.
The food is mainly vegetables and fruits, as well as whole wheat biscuits to fill the stomach, and the intestines are cleaned with salt water every morning. Exercise is essential. I get up at six o'clock every day for a morning run, then ride a bicycle all the way to the training site, climb mountains and play ball on weekends. So far, everything is within the acceptable range. However, the training course itself is a process that consumes a lot of mental and physical energy. He has no knowledge of acting. There are special teachers, and double-speed training means that he has no extra time to rest. When the food is not completely satisfied, his fat will gradually disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wen Ying often acts as a supervisor and accompanies him to exercise. And she also discovered Zhou Zhou's other characteristic in the process of exercising - he loves to eat, according to the current popular saying, he is a foodie.
He has a fat-prone physique, but he can't control his mouth. No wonder he has made up his mind to lose weight many times, but he has never succeeded. Even though Wen Ying has aroused his desire and longing for acting right now, and the actor's fat meat is caught in front of him, he still often cannot restrain his love for food.
Although he won't steal food, when his scorching eyes stare at the food cooked in Wen Ying's semi-open kitchen, even Wen Ying can't turn a blind eye.
She simply opened the door, dragged him into the store, pointed to the price list of meals on the wall and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Zhou's head, which had always been hanging down, suddenly lifted up, as if in disbelief, "... But, can I eat it?" It had been too long since he had a full meal, so that his voice trembled with excitement.
"certainly."
After repeated confirmation, although Zhou Zhou was still hesitant, he couldn't resist the aroma of the food, and reported three things in a row, which was already the result of his great restraint. And Wen Ying didn't have any objection.
After a hearty meal, Wen Ying ran ten kilometers with him that day. In the end, he fell to the ground exhausted as soon as he opened the door, barely got up to take a shower, walked out with wet short hair, and asked the woman sitting on the sofa drinking water in a low voice: "Are you angry?" Yet?"
Ten kilometers is a long way, but he can keep running. However, he still regretted it. He thought this was a test for her, and he couldn't resist the temptation.
She probably doesn't want him anymore...
Zhou Zhou suddenly felt confused. If he could continue to live in a mediocre way before being affirmed by her, but now, he couldn't imagine the result of her not wanting him.
Wen Ying put down her water glass and looked at him.
After such a long period of dieting and exercising, the person in front of him has changed a lot. He has lost weight, showing his original handsome face, with narrow and long eyebrows and eyes revealing a vastness like mountains and rivers, and his lips are thin and pale. , when you are nervous or meditating, you will gently sip it like now. All of this, if it is on an obese person, perhaps no one will notice the details other than the fat, but after the obesity fades, it will naturally be revealed.
She said, "No, I'm not angry. People have desires, and it's not a big deal. I just want to tell you that you have the ability to control your life and fill your desires with your own efforts." She saw him reveal Showing a surprised look, he didn't say anything more, but stood up and stretched, "Let me use your bathroom."
After all, she was tired after running ten kilometers.
Today, she specially wore a sweatshirt because she was running with her, which was in stark contrast to her usual frigid attire. She stretched lazily, and the sweatshirt was lifted up quietly, and a few strands of hair broke free from the coiled hair, and were slightly curled and stuck to the neck, revealing a different kind of charming temptation.
Zhou Zhou slightly moved his eyes away and nodded.
He was sitting and reading the information, while thinking about what she said. The thirst after the exercise made him subconsciously take a water glass to drink.
However, just ten seconds later, he suddenly came back from his thoughts and immediately went to look at the water glass.
The woman's red lips were printed on the transparent glass, and he just... drank water from this side.
Suddenly, he found that he couldn't take his eyes off the lip print on the rim of the cup, and the taste of it seemed to be left in his mind. He unconsciously licked his lips, but there was no difference, and he quietly approached the cup again.
"Zhou Zhou? Your hair dryer is on..."
Wen Ying came out of the bathroom, and in the middle of speaking, she happened to see his actions. She just paused, but he was startled suddenly, and subconsciously threw away the water glass.
He stared blankly at Wen Ying approaching, feeling guilty that he had been caught doing something bad, and his heart was pounding, as if it was ringing in his ears.
Wen Ying stared at him for a moment, then walked to his side, lightly leaned on the armrest, leaned over and kissed him on the lips unexpectedly, and left in a moment.
He seemed to be deprived of the ability to speak in an instant.
"Like?" she asked.
He pursed his lower lip.
The water glass was thrown on the sofa not far away, and the poured water, like an ambiguous atmosphere, flowed to the ground with a lingering "tick" sound.
Zhou Zhou has been tossing and turning at night lately, and his schedule during the day is so tight, he pushed him twice, and suddenly he lost weight quickly. However, no matter how hard he dodged, he still couldn't escape Wen Ying's supervision.
Wen Ying really likes to tease him a little recently, for example, when he jogged in the community in the morning, after more than a dozen laps, he paused to rest, but she suddenly said, "Why don't you make an agreement in three chapters, run ten kilometers and kiss once, how about it?"
He immediately pulled the hood forward, completely hid himself in the shadows, and ran away.
Only Wen Ying was left there smiling meaningfully.
After teasing her too much, she found that he was hiding too much, so she restrained herself, found a chance to catch him, and said with a headache: "You will still receive kissing dramas in the future, can you keep running away like this?"
"...It's different." He suppressed his emotions and retorted.
"Oh, what's the difference?" she asked.
"... just different."
He was obsessed with this answer, but after that, he didn't avoid her anymore.
Both the training and the weight-loss plan were coming to an end, Wen Ying took over a play for him, she was a villain, and at the same time she was the lead actor in the play. Zhou Zhou waited for this moment for so long that when he received the script, he couldn't believe it. He grabbed the script and turned it over and over again, touching his signature on it.
In Wen Ying's exclusive office in the company, Wen Ying asked him to read the script first, put forward her own views and understandings, and then let her explain, and carefully told him the most important things to pay attention to. He was very focused, and the two After a lively discussion, it was quite unsatisfactory to stop.
Zhou Zhou was still thinking about the content of the discussion, but Wen Ying kicked off her high heels and leaned lazily on the back of the chair to show the end of working hours and relaxation.
"So, have you seen that kiss scene, the part where the villain wants to kiss the heroine forcibly." She asked.
"..."
"Don't you really want to try?" She tapped her lips with a playful smile, "I really hope to be the person who plays with you."
Ning Xiao obviously noticed that the number of times his manager accompanied him to attend events has decreased recently, which made him a little upset, so after learning from Yun'ou that she was in the office, he went straight to her office .
The door was unlocked, and he easily turned the handle and pushed in.
Then he saw the scene where his manager was kissing someone.
