"Teacher Xu, put on your clothes quickly."

After Xu Rong finished filming a scene, classmate Xiao Zhang immediately ran towards him with his down jacket in his arms. The weather was getting colder and colder, and even in the studio, you could see the water vapor between the words.

Affected by the cold wave, this year has been called the coldest winter in fifty years.

But when filming, I still had to wear unlined clothes due to the needs of the plot.

The only good thing is that the crew did not choose the filming location in the Northeast.

Production director Wang Yahui had been waiting for a long time. When Xu Rong wrapped up her down jacket, she hurriedly said: "Teacher Xu, the team has prepared two heating fans. Please sit over and warm yourself up for a while."

"Thank you, Director Wang."

Wang Yahui's eyes almost narrowed into a thin line, and he said: "Hey, Teacher Xu, you are too polite."

Don't blame him for acting according to the prevailing situation. Others think that the production director is a fat guy, but when you are not a master, you don't know how expensive food and rice are. Not to mention that the composition of the crew is complex, and there are many producers and directors on the mountain. He has to take care of him, and big names also have to take care of him.

Well, originally, he was quite polite to Xu Rong, but now that he has the title of producer, he has to be even more careful.

Because it was not just the name that was added, but all the expenses of the crew, big and small. The financial department did not see Xu Rong’s signature and no money was given at all. This is the most terrible thing.

Xu Rong didn't feel too cold. He was wearing the thermal underwear that classmate Xiao Zhang bought a few days ago. He could withstand the duration of one scene.

After sitting down, Xu Rong looked at the tightly wrapped classmate Xiao Zhang and said with a smile: "Now you know you regret it. I told you to rest at home, but you refused to listen."

There is no announcement from her today.

Xiao Zhang moved the heating fan slightly, pointed it at Xu Rong, and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold. I've already asked for leave. It's boring to be alone at home."

After Xu Rong took a sip of her saliva, she asked: "Teacher Xu, why did you laugh when you acted just now? You didn't laugh when we rehearsed last night."

Xiao Zhang watched the scene just now very clearly. The way Teacher Xu presented it was almost completely different from that in the rehearsal.

Xu Rong thought for a while and then said: "What do you think is the purpose of character creation, or what is the highest state?"

Xiao Zhang's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at him. She had an answer in her mind, but it was taught by the school teacher. She was not sure whether Teacher Xu's answer was consistent with what she knew.

Because many times in the past, the answer she thought was correct was wrong for Teacher Xu, and he could always explain the root cause of his opinion and the practical proof with reason.

Xu Rong smiled and pinched her cheek and said: "You don't like to write biographies, and I have never forced you, because few film and television actors can write biographies, and the education we received in school in the past also believed that writing

The biography is not good."

"Oh, don't pinch my face, it's too cold." Xiao Zhang shrank his neck and at the same time pulled his hand over and put it into the pocket of his down jacket, "I'll warm you up first.

.”

Not far away, Tao Feifei stared blankly at this scene. The scene in front of her was different from what she had thought in the past.

Xiao Zhang didn't notice Tao Feifei's strange behavior and asked, "That's right, the teachers at school always said, don't write a biography, don't write a biography, even if you do, just write a summary afterwards."

Xu Rong nodded and said: "Well, what the teacher said is right, so do you think it was reasonable for me to laugh just now?"

"Hey, I feel like you're going crazy, otherwise you wouldn't have such a high pitched voice in the end."

Xu Rong put the water glass on the ground, put it into his pocket with the other hand, and said: "The school always emphasizes not to write biographies, that's why, because in front of the camera, the stimulation you give others is the same as what others give you.

The excitement is definitely different from when we were rehearsing, and if you have never acted before,

If you read the script twice before writing a biography, there will definitely be deviations. There is a saying that creating a character is to slowly grow from a seed into a tree under a prescribed situation, rather than drawing a tree first and letting it grow.

The seeds grow according to the shape of the tree, which is why the teacher objected to us writing biographies in the past."

Xiao Zhang looked at him a little confused: "Then why do you have to write every time?"

Xu Rong grinned slightly and said, "That's why I want to ask you what the purpose of character creation is."

Seeing that classmate Xiao Zhang was silent again, Xu Rong smiled and said: "It's vivid, it's fresh, but how vivid, how fresh?"

Tao Feifei vaguely heard the content of the conversation between the two, and she pricked up her ears. However, the voices of Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang were not high-pitched, so it was hard for her to hear them clearly.

She has a habit. Whenever she faces a decision in her heart about whether she should do something or not, she will choose according to her rational tendency without hesitation.

She stood up, pretended to be a little cold, and came closer. This was also a question she had always been curious about. Old-school actors, especially old-school drama actors, paid special attention to short stories. But today, whether it is the three major universities or major drama theaters,

They all clearly emphasized not to write biographies before the official performance.

Xu Rong noticed Tao Feifei's small movements from the corner of his eye, but did not avoid it deliberately. He just lowered his voice and said: "A character can leave a deep impression on the audience, it must be a certain moment.

The vivid performance makes the audience feel that this character is too touching at that moment, rather than that the character is flesh and blood and has a distinct personality. These are the credit of the screenwriter and have nothing to do with the actors. Ideally, this kind of vividness should be filled in every moment.

A moment, but this is impossible, even if I play myself, I can't do it."

"This is the purpose of writing my biography, because I have established a relatively complete mental image and stress response under prescribed situations, and this process is mutual. The biography will further improve the mental image, and the mental image will in turn feed back the biography, but the purpose

We still try our best to fill every performance moment with vividness, but most of the time, when the external stimulation is not enough, this kind of vividness cannot be presented, which leads to the difference between rehearsal and real shooting."

Classmate Xiao Zhang was a little confused. It took him a long time before he asked: "You mean, you knew how the tree was going to grow before you planted the seeds?"

"It's not that I know how the tree should grow, but I have seen forests grown from the same seeds, and I also know how to grow the most beautiful and reasonable way. The smile just now is actually equivalent to a gust of wind blowing over, and the tree should shake its branches and leaves.

"

Tao Feifei couldn't help it anymore, took three steps and two steps at a time, walked forward, and asked: "Which one is right?"

Xu Rong glanced at her sideways and said: "There is no right or wrong. The premise is experience, mental imagery, and whether the prescribed situation is done well. This is why many actors are always used to talking to the director about the script before filming."

"So there is a very classic saying from Mr. Si, if you take action, everything will fall into place."

Tao Feifei understood what he meant. It sounded very simple. Take action, but she had to find someone who would let her imitate the action.

She instinctively wanted to refute, but then she shut her mouth again, because Xu Rong did not speak out of thin air. She was also involved in the second point of the scene just now. Xu Rong proved with the results that he was right of.

Classmate Xiao Zhang pursed his lips and said, "Okay."

She knew that after going around in a circle, she would definitely return to the basics and the most difficult part of the Si's system. Of course, she also understood the importance of talking with the director and screenwriter about character positioning and character relationships, but after the conversation, what? Building mental images and how to design reasonable external actions to guide internal emotional experiences are beyond her reach.

Humph, it’s just a roundabout way of saying that people’s basic skills are not solid!

Xu Rong thought for a while and whispered: "You are fine now. You can observe more people, observe their expressions, movements, eyes, etc."

When he got the "Snow Leopard" script, two people immediately came to mind after opening it.

Li Gen and Zhu Yawen.

The two of them each possess some of Zhou Wen's characteristics, but also have some differences.

What he does is to combine these two parts, and then process it himself to choose a presentation method that suits him.

"I observed it."

"Who are you observing?"

"You, I'm observing you every day!"

Xu Rong rolled his eyes at her and said, "Hey, are you planning to play me again?"

"hey-hey."

Tao Feifei was still a little confused and asked: "Teacher Xu, how can you be 100% sure that the action is accurate?"

"Teacher Xu, someone is visiting the class."

Just when Xu Rong was about to speak, Qiao Pengyue ran all the way over and said when he came to him, but he looked at him with a slightly strange look.

"Oh, thank you." Xu Rong said thank you, because such things are supposed to be site announcements.

Following Qiao Pengyue to a corner of the studio, Xu Rong looked at the four people waiting for him and hesitated for a moment. He naturally knew Tao Qiupu, the action director and nominal action director, and he was originally a member of the directing team.

But the tall middle-aged man in the middle wearing sunglasses surprised him. Although he was wearing sunglasses, he could still tell his identity from his exposed face.

Because he had never seen this person look like after taking off his sunglasses.

Famous Hong Kong director Wang Jiawei.

He hesitated, walked over, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, Director Wang."

Wang Jiawei spoke slowly, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello."

He looked at Xu Rong with curiosity in his eyes. The purpose of his visit was not to find an actor, but to visit the real martial arts master.

The reason why he found Xu Rong was because he was introduced by a friend, who said that he was one of the targets he was looking for.

For more than a year, in order to prepare for the new movie, he traveled almost all over the country and visited all the masters he could.

The vast majority of these people are charlatans who cheat and deceive, but there are some who do have real talents and learning.

He was a little surprised. Although he didn't look very young from his appearance, he knew very well that the other person's real age was only twenty-three years old.

The moment he shook hands with Xu Rong, he almost immediately judged that the other person had a completely different personality from his own.

In the past, when young actors from the Mainland saw me, every one of them would smile and bend their waist slightly. However, the young man in front of him only had curiosity in his eyes and seemed to turn a blind eye to his identity as a famous director.

Xu Rong also looked at Wang Jiawei and judged from the strength of his palm that he should be a relatively reserved person.

He stopped his hand and asked: "Director Wang, are you looking for me if you have something to do?"

Wang Jiawei got straight to the point: "Do you know Baji?"

Xu Rong said without hesitation: "No."

Wang Jiawei grinned and said: "There is a role in a play I am preparing that is very suitable for you, if you know Baji."

Xu Rong was quite surprised by Wang Jiawei's words. He had also received many film offers, but all because of his current appeal in mainland China.
