Chapter 1 If(1/2)
The school's small theater was brightly lit and empty.
Xu Rong folded his arms and stood quietly at the back of the theater, looking at the dim stage and frowning slightly.
Today is the compositing stage of "Teahouse", also called the rehearsal.
For school performances, there are not too strict requirements for preliminary and detailed rehearsals. Of course, they cannot be strict. The samples are there, but if you really want to achieve that kind of effect, let alone a month, even a year, it won't be enough.
hope.
It is not only determined by basic skills, but also by the technical upper limit. Even Xu Rong himself does not have much confidence.
At this time, what he was thinking about was not these, but a more important issue, controlling the "degree" of the performance.
Pu Cunxi's most criticized criticism is that when he participated in film and television shootings, his performances had a strong sense of drama, his body movements were too large, and his performances and lines were slightly exaggerated.
However, Wu Gang and Feng Yuanzheng, both of whom have backgrounds in the arts, have never encountered such criticism.
This is a phenomenon worth pondering.
On the night of the award ceremony, after hurriedly ending the interview session, he took classmate Xiao Zhang back to his hometown to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, and then rushed back to the capital without stopping.
He is no longer too keen on dealing with the media. With his current enthusiasm and popularity, he does not need any topical hype in a short period of time.
After winning the Magnolia Vision, he has already led many of his peers. For roles belonging to his age group, he may not be the first choice, but he must be the final choice without any solution. Of course, the premise is
The crew's salary budget is sufficient.
Even if he retreats behind the scenes now or concentrates on dramas, ten or even twenty years from now, when talking about the 1980s generation or the spy war, his name will not be avoided.
But he has no intention of retiring behind the scenes, nor is he determined to specialize in drama, which means it is not enough, because there are too many colleagues in the 1970s who are able to work across age groups and are willing to take on roles across age groups.
Strictly speaking, he was able to receive "Insidious" and "Before Dawn" in the first place because of his fame, and secondly, he took advantage of his status as a Nortel student.
"Latent" is a script written by Mr. Liu's friend Jiang Wei, and "Before Dawn" was written by Huang Jia Ke and his cousin. Regardless of the future ratings, considering that the logic of the script is basically self-consistent, the investment is huge, and there are many businesses
With superb co-actors, even if they can't make a big splash, they should be able to achieve good results.
Teacher Liu, Huang Jia Ke, these are the sources of his resources.
But he still has a lot of room for expansion in terms of resource channels, and people and art are one of the media.
Classmate Xiao Zhang came earlier today, mainly because Xu Rong had an idea that needed to be tested.
After observing the theater for a while, Xu Rong slowly walked from the back to the front and stepped onto the stage.
He walked slowly on the stage, carefully measuring his steps, and finally chose the center position of the stage to stand.
Then he turned around, faced the audience, opened his hands, and looked straight ahead.
This is one of the tips mentioned in Zheng Rong's notes, embracing the theater.
All actors, whether they are film and television actors or drama actors, will encounter a common problem, which is to grasp the performance range of close shots, medium shots, and long shots. When it comes to dramas specifically, it will involve theaters and stages of different sizes.
The right scale of performance.
In film and television shooting, theoretically, if it is a panoramic shot with legs, the actor must pay more attention to the performance of the body. If it is a close-up, the range of movement must be reduced, because it is not in the frame, there is no need to use it, and it will be aggravated if it is used.
Counterproductive.
The relationship between panorama, medium shot, close shot and even close-up is quite different from the performance in dramas, TV series and movies. As for how to measure it, it is a relatively delicate technical task.
The vast majority of actors, when grasping the scale, can only feel and measure based on instinct. The strength of this instinct is camera sense and talent. However, because of their own acting habits, drama actors are less likely to participate in film and television creation when they cross industries than when they are involved in film and television creation.
Film and television actors pay special attention to the issue of lens exchange with photography.
"Embracing Theater" is Renyi's unique solution for measuring different theaters and the corresponding "quantity". Through this process, you can naturally feel the range of movements, the range of performance, the quantity of lines and the amount of dialogue that should be grasped.
cooperation.
Standing on the stage, Xu Rong immediately deeply felt the talent gap between people. Among Zheng Rong's notes, Feng Yuanzheng had the sharpest instinct in this regard and the most accurate judgment.
"Teacher Xu, what are you doing?" Xiao Zhang poked his head out of the crack in the door and asked curiously, "Why are you acting like a fool?"
Xu Rong slowly turned her head and stared at classmate Xiao Zhang. If it weren't for the fact that she was at school and the occasion was inappropriate, she would have had to give her a good beating today.
"Crack."
"Ah." Xiao Zhang opened the door like a frightened rabbit, and at the same time turned around and looked back.
Seeing classmate Xiao Zhang covering her butt, Xu Rong couldn't help but frowned, but when she saw that it was her three roommates who came, she no longer cared.
Jiao Junyan gently moved her thumb, middle finger, and index finger, as if recalling the feeling just now, and said: "Xiaofei, you and Xu Rong have made great progress since you moved to the new house."
Classmate Xiao Zhang laughed, puffed up his chest, and said, "Where is that?"
"Heh." Jiao Junyan dodged over and pulled Yang Mi into the middle, "We're all here to do it!"
Yuan Shanshan, as if to follow her, immediately added: "Playing in front of Yang Mi... ugh."
"Let me tell you, there is a big living person here, please be careful what you say." Xu Rong walked off the stage. Because of the interruption from Xiao Zhang, he did not fully find the state that Zheng Rong described.
.
He planned to wait until the rehearsal ended at noon before giving it a try.
When Yang Mi and the other three arrived in front of him, their eyes were no longer as complicated as before, but only had an inexplicable light left in their eyes, saying: "Xu Rong, congratulations."
Over the past few days, Xu Rong listened to this sentence hundreds of times, and his ears had already picked up the cocoon. But every time, he heard it as something new. He smiled and waved his hands gently, saying: "Hey, it's all
It's luck, it's all luck."
Yuan Shanshan said quietly: "Maybe we won't have such luck in our lives..."
"Oh, I really regret it now. If I could have worked as hard as you when school started, maybe I wouldn't be so stressed now."
"It's not too late now." Xu Rong said with a smile, "I just did it to earn tuition money."
The three of them did not refute this time. They knew more or less about Xu Rong's situation. He had no choice but to join this circle because he had no money to go to college.
Xu Rong looked at Yuan Shanshan and Jiao Junyan's annoyed looks and stopped talking. Since the last recording incident, he had no intention of persuading people or becoming teachers again. In his opinion, they should be more
The person he was studying was Yang Mi. He had heard Wang Qingxiang talk about her as a very hardworking and ambitious girl.
Although he and Yang Mi have a normal relationship, they have been classmates for four years and are also Xiao Zhang's roommates. He can somewhat guess the reason.
If Yang Mi can achieve something in the future, the first person who needs to be grateful is herself, and the second person must be Zhang Jizhong.
Yang Mi smiled and said, "But by earning tuition fees, you can become a Shidi."
"It's just good luck. It would have been possible for another person, but I just caught up."
Although he was happy to get the Shidi, he was not particularly happy because the "congratulations" he wanted to hear most had not yet been heard.
He still vividly remembers the scene when Li Youbin took out the Flying Trophy from the wine box and sat it heavily in front of him.
As a result, he won the award with his front foot, but Li Youbin disappeared with his back foot!
No one answered my phone calls, so I asked Shi Lanya, who said he had gone to the mountains to film a movie, maybe because the signal was not good.
He estimated that the guy was probably hiding from him on purpose.
Li Youbin has won the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award, but Magnolia has become a heartache for him.
No matter the hit "Bright Sword" or "Enter Guandong", they were not even nominated, because the Magnolia jury believed that Li Youbin was still limited to a fixed genre and did not make a major breakthrough like Zhang Guoli's "Golden Wedding".
Li Youbin was not the only one who was obsessed with Magnolia. Li Xuejian, Chen Baoguo and others were all trying their best to attack Magnolia, but in the end they didn't expect that he, a junior, would get there first.
There is nothing we can do about it. Just like "The Head", if it were placed in previous years, it would have won an award no matter what. But this year, bad luck happened. Three dramas with different themes and types were shortlisted.
he.
Just like in recent days, the media mostly summed up the failure of "The Leader" at the Magnolia Awards with the phrase "If there is a good thing, why not a bright one".
But no one accused Magnolia's judging panel of being unfair, because "Leader" was slightly inferior to "Latent" in terms of ratings and reputation, and Dragon TV's sky-high advertising fee of 3.1 billion completely judged "Latent"
its own commercial value.
After rehearsing the play, Xu Rong had a meal and rushed to the hotel to meet the "Before Dawn" crew.
It is still unclear whether Liu Heping's play can finally attract an investment of 130 million. Anyway, from Xu Rong's own point of view, if he were an investor, even if Liu Heping boasted about it, he would not dare to invest this money.
If Liu Heping's drama ultimately fails to materialize, then "Before Dawn" should be one of the two TV series he has starred in in recent years.
After filming "Dawn", he only had one TV drama contract left.
As for the TV series Grand Slam, he won't expect it in a short time.
When he arrived at the hotel again, Xu Rong was keenly aware of the subtle differences in everyone's attitude towards him. When he read the script earlier, other people were polite because of his popularity, but that was all.
But today, he gradually noticed that many people spoke to him with a little more respect.
He won the Magnolia Award by defeating Lin Yongjian, another leading actor in the film crew. Although the quality of the script itself also plays a large role, there are not many people who turn good scripts into bad movies.
Xu Rong has long been accustomed to this. When most people look at other people, they tend to look at the hat on their head first, and then at the person themselves.
While he was getting into the preparation process for "Before Dawn," Jin Fangfang's cell phone and landline were completely blocked.
The Magnolia Award does not carry a half-cent bonus. In the eyes of the outside world, it is one of the highest honors in the TV drama industry, but more importantly, it represents the reputation and ratings data within and outside the industry, which means that Xu
The content is not only loved by the audience, but more importantly, recognized by the industry.
The jury of the Magnolia Awards itself is composed of very important directors and producers in the industry. While making selections, it will refer to the ratings data.
But after Xu Rong became famous in "Latent", she did not accept any new film contracts, nor did she accept any advertising endorsements or commercial performances.
