The recording of the show has not officially started yet, but the lights are ready and focused on the stage and the instructor's seat.
Looking around from Shen Tingyan's perspective, he could actually only see a dark patch of darkness, but miraculously, he suddenly saw two small blinking light bulbs in the darkness.
The 60 watt kind.
Feng Wei on the side noticed his gaze and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
"...It's nothing." Shen Tingyan moved his eyes away first.
Amidst the noise, the chief director's voice came through the speaker: "Recording starts in ten minutes. Please be quiet here and stop talking."
After adjusting the manpower again, soon, the entire small theater fell silent.
Most of the fifty students were nervous. Even though the air-conditioning in the studio was sufficient, all of them still had sweaty palms.
Chang Yun quietly asked: "Which play is the first one to appear on?"
He was sitting in the third row, behind Xue Xiao and the others.
The host Jiang Quan came on the stage to say hello to the audience. After reading the opening remarks clearly and boldly, he introduced the four instructors to the audience. At that time, the first contestant on stage had already been called away. Trembling The trembling back is very tragic.
Jiang Lianlian leaned back: "Then I'm different from you. I already want to cry now."
Similarly, if a positioning error leads to a gang break, or an actor makes a performance mistake, everything will be magnified in front of the audience in real time for a clear view.
Zhang Jiaqing took the stage from the side.
He was wearing a cheap suit, which was his costume for this performance. After bowing to the audience, he turned around and strode towards the performance venue.
"Although we are essentially in a competitive relationship, we still hope that he will perform well, otherwise the rest of the people will not be able to maintain their mentality." Zhao Dong whispered to Xue Xiao.
Xue Xiao was not very familiar with this person, but he remembered that all the signed artists among the fifty students had graduated from majors.
Chang Yun muttered: "If you ask me to go on stage at this time, I won't be able to cry."
Then, in the center of the stage, a huge screen slowly descended.
At eight o'clock sharp, the first round of competition recording officially started.
Having graduated from a major and having serious acting experience, you shouldn’t really be unable to cry on stage, right
As long as you can cry it won't be too embarrassing.
"Let's invite the first contestant to perform, actor Zhang Jiaqing."
Jin Xiaochen went to the first row and pursed his lips: "Aren't they all sitting down? It's the one-man performance of the crying scene."
The actors perform in the background, the director directs the camera cuts in the background, the music and sound effects are all in place, and what is finally presented to the audience in real time is a coherent picture on the screen.
Zhang Jiaqing takes the lead, so I don’t know how he will perform.
Xue Xiao listened on the side, looking away from the instructor's seat, dumbfounded.
This one-man show is taken from a modern-day movie. The crying scene of the male protagonist in the movie has always been cited as a classic. It is a textbook-level performance that is unconventional.
The remaining forty-nine students were all holding their breath and concentrating.
As exclamations came from the audience, behind the stage, the scenery of the first play had been transferred into place and stuck in a fixed position.
Xue Xiao recalled it and said, "Is he an artist who has signed a contract with the company?"
The crying scene has always been considered by many to be the best way to prove an actor's strength, and some of them were no exception. So when the first round of selection results came out that day, a total of five people chose this play, and the car crash was so tragic that it made people howl.
At the same time, the people at the instructor's table were not idle either.
"There are always so many candidates for crying scenes, and there are always so many people who fall for it." Su Shijin sighed.
Feng Wei leaned back and teased Su Shijin across Shen Tingyan: "Teacher Su, are you waiting to watch the show?"
Su Shijin smiled: "We are not just theatergoers."
Shen Tingyan put down the performance catalog, crossed his arms and leaned on the back of his chair, waiting leisurely for the play to begin.
Amid all the audience's expectations, subtitles were finally printed on the big screen.
Because the first round of performances was a preliminary evaluation of acting skills, the program team did not make the format too complicated. No makeup photos were taken, and the title of the play was written in black letters on a white background at the opening.
After a second, the subtitles disappeared and the colorful picture finally appeared.
The four instructors, the entire audience, and the remaining forty-nine students watched carefully.
The location is in the lobby on the first floor of an office building, with people coming and going.
The protagonist, Zhang Jiaqing, slowly walked out from the depths of the corridor in front of the camera, with a cheap suit hanging on his arm. He raised his hand to loosen his tie, with a tired face. When he saw the chair, he slowly walked over and sat down.
Xue Xiao was quite impressed by this part of the movie.
The original work is a story about life intertwined with emotions and career. Although the story is a bit cliché, the structure is very clear. At the beginning, the male protagonist is a "waste" and his career is in trouble. Although he has parents who care about him and a wife who loves him, he still feels that his life is terrible and it is over. He once wanted to commit suicide.
After being severely beaten by his wife with a clothes hanger, the plot that had reached its lowest point finally began to move forward through this ridiculous episode. The male protagonist began to forge ahead and stumbled back to his career path.
He started to get and have again, but as he had more and more, he wanted more and more. Here, the male protagonist completed the transformation from a "waste person" at the beginning to a "greedy person" ” transformation.
Of course, his life philosophy began to diverge from his wife and family, and the plot also took another turn... In this kind of movie, the male protagonist stumbles hard when he reaches the highest point, which is very consistent with the development of the dramatic structure.
The male protagonist in this movie fell miserably and lost everything overnight. He returned to the starting point, even worse than that time, because at this time his parents had died of illness and his wife was disheartened by him. .
He returned to the place where he wanted to commit suicide in the first place and stood there for a long time. However, this time his wife did not come with a clothes hanger, but only stood behind him and asked: "Do you need me to hit you again?" "
The male protagonist turned around, his eyes red.
At this point, the movie looks a lot like a HE.
After going through ups and downs and restarting his life, although he was once disheartened, he still chose his wife to stand by his side in the end...
It seemed that as long as the male protagonist repented and repented, he could go back to the past.
The male protagonist believed so firmly that he also did so.
He regained his strength, put on his cheap suit again, shaved off his beard, dressed himself up and started his career as he had done in the beginning.
At the end of this paragraph, he had just won a new business and happily told his wife the news, but the reply he received was a very brief two sentences.
"Congratulations, I knew you could do it."
"Also, let's get a divorce."
The joy that filled my heart came to an abrupt end.
In fact, it was not unexpected.
His wife is a gentle person in nature and will never leave him when he is at his most broken. But when his feet stand firmly on the ground again, these hands will be released without hesitation.
The play begins here.
There was not much collapse or pain on Zhang Jiaqing's face, but more fatigue and emptiness.
After sitting down on the chair in the hall, he first put his arms on the back of the chair and tilted his head upward, as if he wanted to take a deep breath. After a while, he leaned forward with his entire upper body, his elbows on his thighs, and his hands Inserted into the hair.
Xue Xiao looked at it very seriously.
At this time, the male protagonist should have mixed feelings in his heart.
On the one hand, he is bitter that he has finally lost his wife. On the other hand, he is ridiculous because he seems to have been carefully pampered by his family. In the past, he did not know that he had ruined everything by letting himself go. There is also more confusion, knowing that his life There was still a chance to restart, but he felt that he had lost the most precious thing.
So I laughed and cried again.
Xue Xiao felt a little itchy.
After looking at it, he wanted to go up and give it a try.
Zhang Jiaqing's performance is right. At this time, the male protagonist will not collapse easily. The collapse of the snow mountain in his heart is more like a feather floating away, silently and seemingly light, but in fact it is huge and confusing.
As long as you can cry at this time, all the emotions will come naturally...
The next second, Zhang Jiaqing suddenly exerted force on his hands, and the veins on the back of his hands became prominent. He opened his mouth with force and performed a silent cry.
Xue Xiao: "...?"
He leaned forward slightly and looked at the big screen in confusion.
Zhang Jiaqing's mouth opened and closed, his face flushed, his face was extremely distorted, his eyes were squeezed into slits, and his throat began to make sounds similar to large inhales and exhales, which sounded very much like asthma.
Xue Xiao: "...??"
Someone behind him sighed: "What a great performance."
Xue Xiao: "?!"
He turned his head subconsciously, and Jiang Lianlian on the right quickly pulled him and said in a low voice: "... The camera is filming!"
Xue Xiao: "..."
He turned around and glanced at the cameraman squatting in front of the actors' table.
On the screen, Zhang Jiaqing's performance became increasingly weird.
Rather than saying that he was performing a crying scene, it was better to say that he was suffering from a sudden illness. Xue Xiao's back began to sweat and his body began to quietly tighten.
He cautiously glanced over to the instructor's table. Guan Ruoying and Feng Wei had no discernible expressions. Su Shijin wiped her face, while Shen Tingyan had... a look of great interest
Xue Xiao: "????"
He looked at the big screen seriously again, trying to understand Zhang Jiaqing's inner world more deeply at this time.
At this moment, the male protagonist on the screen suddenly raised his head, pressed his hand hard on his thigh, and shed two tears. His mouth has been opened into a "mouth" shape, like a fish that accidentally jumped onto the shore and struggled to its death in horror. People can't help but want to give him a 120.
This wasn't the most extreme thing. What was more extreme was that he probably wanted to cry, but couldn't control his voice. The cry sounded more like a moan.
There was a gasp from the audience, and Xue Xiao felt as if he had been hit in the face, and his whole face became distorted.
Zhao Dong on the left quickly grabbed him, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Manage expressions, smile, manage!"
