Chapter 32 Decline(1/2)

In the car.

Wang Jiawei turned his head and looked at the old man with a Chinese character face next to him who had not spoken since arriving on the set. He asked in unfluent Mandarin: "Master Wu, do you really think he knows Baji?"

The old man known as Master Wu nodded with great certainty and said: "As I said, if the person in that video is really him, he will definitely do it, and to a certain extent, he is still a master of Baji.

."

"Master?" Wang Jiawei became a little more interested and spoke much faster, "How high is it?"

Master Wu tapped his chin lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's put it this way, few people who practice Baji can beat him."

When Wang Jiawei heard the old man's words, the expression on his face could not help but freeze for a moment, and he said uncertainly: "Master Wu, are you serious?"

The old man also smiled and said: "Baji is different from other boxing techniques. It is about a hard fight. The strength lies in its fierceness. You have also seen it just now. There is no sloppiness in his words and actions."

, this is very consistent with Baji’s boxing principles.

, practicing this kind of boxing makes me more comfortable. I watched the video carefully at least ten times. The basic skills are very solid. In terms of skill, I can't compare with Wang Shiquan. But if you ask Wang Shiquan to fight him, who do you think can take a punch from each other?

Can you bear it?"

Wang Jiawei Ming understood what the old man meant and said: "Are you afraid of young people with boxing?"

"Yes, that's the truth. Those who can fight better than him are not as good as him, but those who are better than him are all old men. Originally, half of their bodies were buried in the soil. After a few punches, they might have to prepare for the funeral.

."

Wang Jiawei nodded slightly. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked: "Master Wu, according to your statement, he must have a master, right?"

Master Wu said "tsk tsk" twice and said: "This is also what I can't understand. If that video is true and it is really him, he has been practicing Baji for ten years, but I said

I have inquired about all the people who practice Baji in China, whether they know him or not, and I have never heard of anyone who he has studied with."

"Is it possible that he is a reclusive master?" Wang Jiawei frowned under his sunglasses, "It's impossible to know it from birth."

Master Wu also smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It is possible that he is a reclusive master who knows from birth that he is a living Buddha. There are many brothers and sisters who are friends. They were engaged in the business of killing people and selling goods, and found a mountain village to hide their names. This is normal.

."

"Then it's understandable that he doesn't want to admit it."

Wang Jiawei felt that he had vaguely guessed the reason why Xu Rong refused to admit that he knew Baji. The purpose of his coming was that after listening to Master Wu's statement, he hoped that Xu Rong could serve as the martial arts instructor of the crew.

But after watching one of Xu Rong's scenes, he was tempted. Such an actor was perfect for his shooting style.

He hates actors who follow the script strictly. His ideal actor is one who can shine with different auras every time he takes a shot, allowing him to carefully select.

And Xu Rong is exactly this kind of actor.

He decided to try again. If Xu Rong could withstand the temptation, his agent wouldn't be sure, right?

After all, he is the famous director Wang Jiawei!

The arrival of Wang Jiawei caused quite a stir among the crew.

When it comes to being the most profitable director in Hong Kong, Wang Jiawei is not ranked at all, but when it comes to being the most stylish director, this one is at least in the top three.

Tao Feifei was dumbfounded when she heard that Wang Jiawei personally came to the set to invite her, but was rejected by Xu Rong without hesitation.

What a big heart this has.

That's Wang Jiawei!

An excellent opportunity to enter the Hong Kong and Taiwan film market!

When Xiao Zhang heard Tao Qiupu's words, she also didn't come back to her senses for a long time, but she didn't ask why. Just like more than a month before the filming started, Teacher Xu always forced her to rehearse every scene for more than ten seconds.

The same thing happened all the time. Although she was very tired, she would always shout, "No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm almost exhausted!", but she never hesitated in taking action.

Teacher Xu must have what Teacher Xu thinks!

As for the question of whether to write a biography, she didn't care at all. Maybe when it was time to write it, Teacher Xu would remind her.

Seeing that Tao Feifei seemed to have forgotten her previous doubts, Xu Rong felt at ease.

Biographies are not a big problem in performances. Representative actors of the old school, especially actors who were active before the opening up, such as Teacher Yu Zhi, Teacher Zheng Rong, etc., regard biographies as very important and believe that they are used to vividly portray characters.

A lively shortcut.

But after the opening up, theaters and schools represented by Humanities and Chinese Opera rejected this shortcut.

Since the opening up, Chinese people have abandoned dogmatism and advocated practicality.

This trend of thought also affected the entire system of performance theory, training, and practice. From originally following the Stalinist system that originated in the Soviet Union, it gradually began to absorb the strengths of the method school and expressionism school and integrate it into the localized performance system.

In the Strawberry system, when an actor creates a character, there should be no actor's own emotions, but only the character. Cry with the character's emotions, laugh with the character's emotions, and live with the character's emotions.

But when it comes to reality, what should an actor do if he can't cry when his beloved dies?

Yes, my beloved is obviously not dead, so I really can’t cry!

Not being able to cry is just a symptom. The most fundamental problem is that the actor has not experienced the character's emotions and changes in his inner world.

Experience is the core of Sri Lanka's system, and it is also the most criticized point. Although Sri Lanka improved it in the 1930s, which is the external behavioral guidance that Xu Rong often uses now, this technique is very difficult for actors.

The talent requirements are ridiculously high.

The method school gives a simpler solution, emotional memory and emotional substitution.

If your loved one has never died, you should have experienced the sadness of the death of a relative or the death of a beloved pet. If you have not experienced it yet, you have always experienced sad things such as failing an exam or being in debt, then take it and replace it.

The introduction of emotional memory and emotional substitution will make character creation easier, but at the same time, it will also lose the accuracy it should have.

At this point, the domestic performance system has deviated from the core of the Sri Lankan system, experience, to a certain extent.

But emotional memory and emotion substitution are so useful. This technique has greatly lowered the threshold for acting and turned it into a career that most people can pursue.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Without the basis of experience, it is impossible to talk about sketches and experience life. When it is difficult to understand the inner world of the characters, biographies will inevitably have deviations.

Xu Rong usually does not use emotion substitutes, but he only used it once during "The Love of Life", because the expressions of the death of a lover and the death of a relative, even if they are both sad and crying, must be different in details.

This is also the reason why when he was filming "Latent" previously, he would rather have people wait for him than forcefully go and film.

Amidst the busy shooting, November passed quietly, some people left and some came.

He Zhengjun looked at Xu Rong wearing headphones, staring at the script, mumbling words, and asked: "What are you doing?"

Xu Rong took off his headphones, closed the script, and asked: "Is the filming finished?"

"No, the assistant director is helping the extras find their mood."

He Zhengjun lit a cigarette, sat next to him, waved his hand in the direction of the set, and asked, "By the way, do you know the man named Wu Xiubo?"

Xu Rong shook his head and said: "I don't know, which role do you play?"

"It's the actor who plays Xu Bowen. His temperament is very interesting." Seeing Xu Rong nodding, He Zhengjun couldn't help but sigh.

He, Zhang Yubei and Xu Rong often gather together. He has watched Xu Rong come to where he is today step by step.

At the wine table, there were only three people in the house, and there was nothing wrong with him. But when he arrived at the set, seeing the director, producer and others on the set being so polite to Xu Rong, he always felt a bit uncomfortable.

Real feeling.

He really couldn't imagine that the young man who followed him five years ago would grow to where he is now in just a blink of an eye.

He Zhengjun smiled and said: "Hey, I'm just wondering, why have you filmed so many movies with Li Youbin and never become popular? Not long after you came out to work alone, you became popular immediately?"

After "The Sword", Xu Rong was led by Li Youbin to film the hit dramas "Stepfather" and "Enter the Guandong". However, "The Sword" and "Stepfather" were only popular with the audience, and "Enter the Guandong" did not have a great impact on his career.

Not much improvement.

The huge success of "Enter Guandong" only established Li Youbin's status as a top first-line actor, while others could only take a sip of soup at best.

Xu Rong smiled and said: "You don't want to pick up the pot. His style is that you can't suppress him. No matter how many scenes there are, you have to be suppressed by him."

"Hahaha."

"Hey, when you talk about style, let me remind you that Tao Feifei's voice doesn't match the style of this play very well."

Xu Rong frowned slowly. He had never noticed this before. Tao Feifei was seven or eight years older than him, but judging by her voice, she might be twenty years older than him.

The style of "Snow Leopard" has always been very clear, which is completely different from the grassroots "Bright Sword", a patriotic military portrait drama represented by intellectuals.

Xu Rong thought for a while and said uncertainly: "This should be no problem, isn't Brother Xun's voice still good?"

He Zhengjun immediately retorted: "But you have to look at the audience. This drama is going to be shown on Mango Channel, and the audience is young audiences. Do you think a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, a young man, listens to the voice, well, he is older than my mother.

You’re still old, do you still have empathy?”

"You are the director, so this matter must be within your scope of consideration."

Xu Rong scratched his brow and asked, "Do you know a suitable voice actor?"

"I don't know him, but Zhang Yubei knows him, but why are you so anxious? You are the director and producer. You can't just let the producers do this job. That's what they do."

Xu Rong studied dubbing with Tong Zirong and knew the difference between dubbing actors and actors. Comprehensive expressiveness is an actor's strong point. But when it comes to dubbing in a studio, professional dubbing actors can put them in shame. They filmed scenes for hundreds of days.

, they are professional and can complete the recording in four or five days.

Of course, compared to simultaneous recordings, the presentation effects of most dubbing actors are greatly compromised.

He thought for a while, but he had no plans to send it abroad for review anyway. He nodded and decided to talk to Zhang Jian and try to find a voice actor with a sweet voice.

Looking at Tao Feifei, he said with a little pity: "Her overall expressiveness is pretty good. If she had a good voice, given her background, she would have become famous long ago."
