Chapter 363: Thoughts
Chapter 363 Ideas
"Hahaha."
Wang Zixuan was stunned when she looked at her childhood playmate. She didn't listen to the great truth that Xiao Zhang said, because most people are ordinary people, and even the decision to "get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow!" the night before was difficult to fulfill, let alone the abilities she said that took more than ten years to develop.
What surprised her was that the smile of this childhood playmate was as pure as that of a few years ago and more than ten years ago.
This reminded her of a sentence she said while chatting with a college classmate a while ago.
"I feel that you have matured a lot in the past few years."
When the other party looked at her and said this, she also looked at her classmates who had not seen each other for more than three years and felt a similar feeling in her heart, and then there was a few seconds of silence.
The typical characteristic of princess disease is willfulness, doing whatever she wants, regardless of the feelings of others. However, most ordinary people do not have the qualifications to suffer from this disease. At home, parents will hold it and hold it in it, but after walking out of the house, especially after walking out of the school, princess disease will only kowtow and make blood flow, and fall and hurt all over the body.
Until I slowly learned to swallow my anger, to bow down, and to consider the feelings of others.
Of course, society is composed of people after all, so it inevitably retains the most basic dignity for people. After packaging, these characteristics are called "being able to restrain emotions", "understand the world", "having management thinking", etc., which sound relatively easy to accept, and even proud of, and are more diligent in evaluations, but in any case, they lose the capital and freedom to not do anything they don't want to do.
This is the price of maturity.
If possible, she would rather be immature. When she was in school, she would not think about anything, eat, sleep, study, and never think about other things. She would be very happy every day and smile purely like her childhood playmate.
But after three years of graduation, she experienced too many blows and became inevitably mature.
She looked at Xu Rong on the set curiously, because she felt that Xu Rong was not the kind of person who could take care of others. In her impression, she was strong and complicated, and professional were the most typical labels on Xu Rong. Although she couldn't quite understand the intrigues in the crew, she could feel something from the attitude of others towards Xu Rong.
She was a little confused about why she could smile so innocently, like, like she had never experienced any difficulties at all.
With Xiao Zhang's silver bell-like laughter, everyone's attention on the set was instantly focused on the door.
Although it was not filmed, the scene has been filmed for two days now, and everyone was holding a breath in their stomachs. Xiao Zhang's cheerful but undeliberate laughter seemed to hit the gun.
After being pulled by Wang Zixuan, Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped talking. She suddenly realized that this was on the set, not at home or other places where she could make noise at will.
Zheng Baorui heard the laughter and immediately became angry: "Laughing you."
As soon as his scolding started, he suddenly noticed that Xu Rong next to him raised his head with a "scarlet" staring at him with two eyes, as if he would do something to him in the next second.
Zheng Baorui's remaining words were scared and swallowed them into his stomach again. He slowly turned his head and looked at the source of the sound.
It seems that it was the girl Xu Rong ran over to meet just now.
He wanted to slap himself with a big ear, but he twisted his neck quietly and glanced at Xu Rong quietly, only to see Xu Rong still staring at him so straight.
The anger and fear on his face instantly turned into dissatisfaction, and shouted at the several stadiums standing at the door: "Pujiezi, are your eyes in your crotch? Didn't you see a customer visiting the set, so don't you know how to move a chair?"
While yelling, he ran towards Xiao Zhang with two long legs. He pulled a folding chair on the way, but before he could run to him, he saw Luo Jinfu had already moved the chair to Xiao Zhang by himself.
Luo Jinfu's face and smooth forehead caused by the baldness were as smiling as a chrysanthemum blooming in September, and said to Xiao Zhang: "Teacher Zhang, right? You sit and rest for a while, Teacher Xu probably will have to be busy for a long time."
Zheng Baorui stared at the scene, looked at the corner of his mouth disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't die!"
Wang Zixuan listened to the depressed laughter around her and Luo Jinfu's seemingly unaware of everything, and finally her eyes returned to Xu Rong.
When Xiao Zhang was smiling just now, she clearly saw a helpless smile on Xu Rong's face, but when Zheng Baorui's swear words were just spoken, he was like an angry lion, and he was as if he would tear Zheng Baorui to pieces the next moment.
At this time, she understood a little why Xiao Zhang could laugh so purely, and at the same time she also realized that Xu Rong was not as calm as her own cognition. However, in his heart, even if the crew collapsed, the emotional fluctuations caused by Xiao Zhang might not be as good as Xiao Zhang's scolding.
Sun Honglei sat in the corridor and did not notice what happened in a moment, because his attention was not on Xu Rong's girlfriend at all.
The fate of the characters.
Xu Rong's girlfriend's summary of the story, or the answer to the question, made him feel a sense of enlightenment.
In the past, when I was in school, many teachers in the school opposed students' biography, including some old actors and directors who were invited by the People's Art Theater.
However, Xu Rong's concept is inconsistent with the current mainstream views in the industry. He has read articles published by Xu Rong, and many of them have emphasized the importance of biography. He was a little unintelligible at the time, but he did not go into it. Just like he only needs to know that soaking freshly cooked eggs in cold water will make it easier to peel, and there is no need to explore why it is easy to peel, because understanding does not seem to make much sense.
After Xu Rong's girlfriend's prompt just now, he suddenly realized that the key point of analyzing the character is that the fate of the character is in line with the biography theory he insisted on.
A character is in the prescribed situation constructed by the script, and the character and prescribed situation must not come out of thin air. His growth experiences, these growth experiences determine the character's preferences, dislikes, right and wrong, good and evil, so Xu Rong has a certain paranoidness about the biography, because if this link is completely missing, the character's fate will be omitted or even blank.
The different emphasis on this link has led to differences in the performance path. Nowadays, the performance industry does not recommend writing biography. In the process of analyzing characters, the actors naturally focus on the characters' personalities and traits. Xu Rong believes that writing biography is necessary, and his focus must start with the fate of the characters.
But he couldn't quite understand one thing. He believed that what Xu Rong's girlfriend said about "the fate of the characters" is what the audience cares most, because the story Xu Rong told did prove that even if the character and characteristics of the characters are completely lacking, they can still maintain strong attraction.
But no matter what, the fate of the characters still remains at the theoretical level, and acting is a purely practical technique.
In the past, he has always insisted on using "character" as the basis for designing character actions, that is, presentation methods such as lines and body. However, at present, he has recognized the importance of the key point of "the destiny of the characters", but he always feels that there is a huge gap between theory and practical operation.
Thinking of this, he stood up, came behind Du Qifeng, and looked at the picture on the monitor.
This scene has been filmed for no less than thirty times, but every time it is filmed, Xu Rong will not completely repeat the presentation method of the previous one. For ordinary people, this seems not difficult, because without professional training, it is difficult for ordinary people to basically repeat the last performance.
However, actors need to do that, because of the limitations of camera position, angle, and scene types, many scenes cannot be passed by one shot. They need to shoot back and forth from various angles N times. If the actors act in the front and back in the front, for example, when they enter the door the last time, first step on their left foot and next time they enter the door, even if the editing is amazing, they cannot be able to follow up the trick.
But what made him feel incredible was that under the same emotion, Xu Rong made minor adjustments every time, and this adjustment did not give people a sense of incongruity, just like an ordinary person living normally, but the only difference was that there were a few more machines.
Now he knows the reason, but it is still difficult to understand.
When Sun Honglei asked this question during the break, Xu Rong's explanation was more concise and said: "I have always believed that the ultimate goal of our acting is not acting, but acting people."
Everyone has their own ideas and their own choices. Just like many mainland audiences believe that Hong Kong actors do not need to learn performance theory at all, their performances are all derived from the most realistic feedback from life.
Xu Rong believes that there must be such people in Hong Kong, because the so-called performance theory is a summary of life and performance practices for generations over hundreds of years. In addition to the methods of major schools, a set of performance methods belonging to oneself is a whimsical way for mainland actors, but it is natural for Hong Kong actors.
The "acting person" theory is the consistent philosophy of the People's Art Theater and the highest pursuit. Its essence is to make the audience feel that the people on the stage are alive, really.
However, he is now exploring, learning, and accumulating this goal. Just like the famous sayings in the Analects of Confucius, after more than two thousand years of testing, each sentence is a highly generalized version of human relationships and world affairs. However, reading alone has no meaning and personal experience, it is difficult to "enlighten" the truth.
In the evening, in a hot pot restaurant, Xu Rong took Xiao Zhang, Xu Xing, Wang Yaqin, Li Geng and Wang Zixuan for dinner.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xing looked at the lively business and said, "Brother, I think many people open restaurants, hot pot restaurants, etc. The business is so popular. Why don't we open one too?"
Xu Rong glanced at the waiter in front of him and said, "I'll tell you what the situation is."
After entering the private room, Xu Rong saw that Li Geng was about to follow Xu Xing inside, and grabbed him and pressed him near the door.
Li Geng looked at him in a daze and asked in confusion: "What are you trying to pull me?"
After he asked this, Xiao Zhang, Xu Xing, Wang Yaqin and Wang Zixuan, who had found a seat in the room, all stared at him blankly, with a strange expression on their faces.
Xiao Zhang handed the coat to the waiter and asked someone to wrap it up. He laughed and said, "Of course I'm asking you to help pick up the food. Xu Xing and I just came here. You can't let Teacher Xu sit there, right?"
Li Geng used to eat with his buddies and friends, but he never paid so much attention. He looked around the room, and Xu Rong and his sister-in-law would definitely not work, otherwise he would be ready to pack up tomorrow and get out. Xu Xing is Xu Rong's sister, and he just came here today, so he naturally didn't have the reason to sit near the door. Wang Zixuan, among the big table, she was just an outsider, so naturally there was no reason to let the guests serve.
The only ones left are Wang Yaqin and herself.
Logically speaking, either of them can do it, but Wang Yaqin usually works much more than herself. When she saw this, she was really wrong when she stretched her neck and walked in.
After the waiter left, Xu Rong looked at Xu Xing and said, "They must make money by opening a hot pot restaurant. If they don't make money, they can't explain the abnormal income."
No matter how many there are, he can't say much. This is the unspoken rule in the industry, but after all, in front of outsiders, if there is only Xiao Zhang and Xu Xing at home, he has no taboos. Although in theory, Li Geng and Wang Zixuan are both trusted people, the artists who have failed because of their remarks generally think so when they speak out.
"When did you set out?"
"I said it was OK last night, but my sister-in-law is in the morning."
"You're talking nonsense, why is my car not slow at all, okay?" Xiao Zhang blinked and hinted at Wang Zixuan frantically that although she was sleeping darkly today, she still did not forget to make a bowl of fresh and tender chicken soup for her friends when she was in a daze.
"It's another day full of energy, and it's time to do morning class!"
Wang Zixuan, who was sitting next to him, was one of the people who drank the chicken soup!
Xu Rong looked at the interaction between the two with a smile, and naturally understood the root cause of Xiao Zhang's anxiousness. She was caught by the media and visited the gold shop once or twice.
As we were chatting, we saw that this guy picked up several slices of beef for Xu Xing with chopsticks, and half of the portion of the meat was taken away by him. Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang looked at each other. At this moment, he understood a little why Li Geng had to bite the bullet and get in.
Have ideas about Xu Xing!
It's just that unlike the blazing gossip fire burning in Xiao Zhang's eyes, Xu Rong is not optimistic about Li Geng at all.
Xu Xing is seven or eight months younger than him, almost the same as Li Geng, but his mental maturity is not comparable to Li Geng at all.
Most importantly, she knew very clearly that she liked money, needed money, and wanted to marry a rich man.
Her view of love is very similar to that of a woman over 30 years old. She can have no love, but she must not have material things. If Li Geng pursues her, Xu Xing will probably send Li Geng a good person card for his sake. If he is silly, it will probably be humiliation.
However, he did not intend to persuade Li Geng to retreat when he was in trouble. Li Geng's life was so smooth since he was a child and he had almost never encountered too much setbacks. The only time his father suffered from cancer was that he was still young and had no clear understanding of the situation at that time. Later, Teacher Li Xuejian also survived.
He needs to experience some reality and blows as his motivation to move forward, and Xu Xing is exactly the most suitable one.
