Chapter 441 Makeup Lessons

Why did Xu Rong give himself 10 million?

He Jiping didn't understand in the past, but he became more confused after hearing that "old revolutionary cadres are also part of Chinese society. They conquered the world and they have the right to speak."

Xu Rong is not only not stupid, but also a little smart.

She has settled in Hong Kong for 20 years, but she still exchanges letters with the mainland. She is no stranger to Xu Rong, the "eldest son of people and artists".

Xu Rong's reputation in the Hong Kong film and television circles, especially in the Hong Kong director circle, is not very good. Many directors have even reached private agreements not to cooperate with Xu Rong.

It is said that his character is not good enough.

She didn't quite understand why it didn't work, because as long as she was present, others would tacitly avoid talking about Xu Rong.

When she was 17 years old, she was invited by Zhao Qiyang to join the People's Art Theater for her work on "The Song of Tempering". However, she rejected this opportunity, which seemed like a pie-in-the-sky opportunity to others, and chose to study in the Chinese Opera.

On the occasion of her graduation, Renyi's invitation came to her again.

Regarding the invitation specifications, Ren Ming and Xu Rong later missed her by several ranks.

She was born in the arts and created "The First Floor in the World", which has always been her greatest pride.

Even though she left Renyi and settled in Hong Kong, she has always paid attention to the development of Renyi.

Hearing is better than seeing. The old people say that Xu Rong is a transparent child. In the eyes of the Mesozoic generation of Pu Cunxi, Xu Rong is the future of the arts. Among the young people, Xu Rong is the deputy captain who can make jokes.

.

Xu Rong's questions and answers after entering the door also allowed He Jiping to understand what kind of person Xu Rong was.

Xu Rong knows the character "Jin Zhenshan" very well and knows the characteristics of his lines, which shows that he is not an assistant director in name only, but has actually studied the script.

This is not an easy task.

He Jiping has been away from the drama industry for twenty years, and has been working hard in the film and television industry, and he is very familiar with the current situation of the film and television industry.

Young actors don't even read the script when they get it. It's not that they don't read it, but that they really don't have time to read it.

But this does not delay the filming. The day before filming starts, the crew will inform them what scenes they will shoot the next day. According to the crew's arrangement, they can prepare the lines for the next day after going out to have fun.

As a screenwriter with a background in theater, she is most puzzled by the fact that today's media praises actors for reciting lines on the spot.

Isn't this equivalent to the fact that the charge bugler has already sounded the charge horn, while the soldiers are still thinking about how to load bullets?!

On the battlefield, this person will be shot by the supervising team.

In recent years, young actors who are famous or have more sophisticated backgrounds have created a new way of acting, "unscripted acting".

They do not need to read the script from beginning to end, nor do they need to know what role they are playing, nor what story the script tells. They only need to follow the director's requirements and make corresponding expressions to complete the filming of a drama.

.

In the past, she had heard a lot of rumors in Hong Kong, which led her to always think that Xu Rong was an extremely difficult person to get along with. But after coming to the mainland, it was just the opposite. Two completely different situations made her reserve her opinion. A person in different groups

There must be deep-seated reasons for the two completely opposite evaluations.

Through Xu Rong's answer, she understood his true side,

A young man who is so intoxicated with his own little talent that he becomes arrogant and arrogant.

She did not deny Xu Rong's talent, and quickly concluded that it was there, but not much.

Xu Rong could prevaricate with Xini like everyone else, but he didn't. He didn't stand on Zheng Rong's point of view, nor did he start from her standpoint.

Instead, he expressed his own evaluation of the script.

She is 61 years old this year and is a top screenwriter in the drama industry. Xu Rong is only 25 years old. In the drama industry, at this age, she is still playing small roles under normal circumstances.

He Jiping was not angry, but even felt sad.

She has seen too many young people who became famous at a young age, surrounded by various praises, and always thought that they were very good. However, in fact, apart from a natural good skin that has nothing to do with them, compared with their peers,

There's nothing outstanding about it at all.

But they don't know it. In the past, when she looked at the young people in Hong Kong who were called "successors" and "superstars", she always felt ridiculous.

She only felt deep sadness when she silently recited the lines of "The Past of Renyi".

Humanity and art must be completed.

Seeing He Jiping smiling and shaking his head but not answering, Xu Rong understood what she meant.

He felt for no reason that "the film and television industry is better."

If the two of them were in different places, that is, if the conversation just happened on a certain film and television crew, He Jiping would have to change his lines honestly, no matter how unhappy he was.

Among the core personnel in all aspects of film and television production, screenwriters have the lowest say. They have made other creators unhappy, deprived of naming rights, and failed to pay the final payment. There are many bad things on the street.

But this is not the film and television industry, this is the greatest talent pool for screenwriters. He has no other better way to deal with He Jiping's indifferent attitude.

Everyone who has achieved great success in the profession they are engaged in has a hard time listening to other people's suggestions. Just like if a layman teaches him acting now, his first reaction must be that this guy is out of his mind, right?

He had no intention of changing He Jiping's mind. This was a hot potato that hit him in the face. "Jiaziyuan" had been scheduled for several months without Mr. Zheng having discussed it. He really didn't think he had the dignity to let He Jiping do this.

Wait for the big screenwriter to make concessions.

Audiences of dramas are relatively more rational. Whether it is the poor performance of the actors or a problem with the script itself, half of the audience can make a rational evaluation.

After Xu Rong greeted everyone, he came to the long table in the rehearsal hall and sat on the right side of Ren Ming.

This is the exclusive seat for the director team. If it is in the theater, it is No. 14 in the second row.

As soon as he sat down, Ren Ming pushed a few notebooks over and said, "Come on, you can make up for your lessons first."

Unlike other major theaters in China, Renyi is a theater that pays the most attention to performance records.

For every rehearsal, the recording team will clearly record the actions and trajectory of each actor.

For example, there are many records of "someone moved from one side to the back of the table in six quick steps", and they are also accompanied by simple illustrations, using a combination of lines and arrows to record the actors' movements in the rehearsal hall.

Movement trajectory.

The biggest advantage of this method is that it can reduce the detours of younger generations.

The biggest shortcoming will limit the subjective initiative of younger generations.

For example, if Xu Rong and Zheng Rong play the same role, if Zheng Rong takes four steps, it will have a completely different effect than if he takes four steps. Because the heights of the two people are different, the distance of four steps will give the audience more or less different feelings.

There is a difference, which is the "material difference" in the performance.

Of course, for Xu Rong at this time, the bigger problem was that there were too many records.

A complete script of a play is a book.

Xu Rong did not open it. He had read the script of "Jiaziyuan" countless times. Although he could not completely retell the lines of each character, he had a general impression of what each person had to say.

"Jiaziyuan" tells the story of Chen Ailin, an "elderly overseas returnee" who has run away from home and traveled overseas for many years. Due to the sudden death of her father, she returns to her former home, Jiaziyuan, which has been turned into a charity nursing home. Faced with all kinds of elderly people, her inner emotions

Complicated, she wanted to sell her old house under the instigation of her young boyfriend who worked for a Hong Kong real estate developer, which triggered a series of fierce conflicts, which also reflected various social issues such as elderly care and housing as well as various different values.

conflicts between.

In addition to Lan Tianye, Zheng Rong, Zhu Xu, Zhu Lin, Lu Zhong, and Xu Xiulin playing the elderly in the nursing home, Wang Jiyan once set up a street stall, worked in a restaurant, met his godfather, and talked about the relationship between brother and sister when he returned to China.

Returnees born in the 1970s, Chen Ailin and Lei Jiayin, will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

David, a "post-80s generation" with a slippery tone and a playful love scene, Zou Jianyan's crush on his elementary school classmate for many years, but has no choice but to accept Jin Xin, who "can only be friends if you are relaxed, and a couple if you are nervous", and Jin Xin, who was just assigned to the theater this year

The youngest actress Lan Yingying plays the role of nurse Nie Xiaoling...

At nine o'clock, Ren Ming saw that everyone had arrived and said, "Teachers, let's get started."

"Okay, let's get started." Lan Tianye and Zhu Xu, who had been squatting in the corner silently memorizing words, stood up with the support of Zou Jian and Lei Jia.

The "one-to-one" approach proposed by Zhang Heping means that a young actor can provide all-round services to an older actor, and must be able to "hear a sound even when he farts."

Xu Rong sat behind the table, folding his arms, and looked at Lan Tianye and Lu Zhong who were about to "go on stage." He didn't know how to be a director, but as the second assistant director, he had no intention of performing the director's duties.

When he joined the crew of "Koshien", his role was not in the current stage, but in the synthesis and rehearsal stages. That's when he came on stage to show off his skills.

"You walked so fast, I couldn't catch my breath."

Xu Rong listened to Lu Zhong's complaints about Lan Tianye who was walking in front, and glanced at the bell on Ren Ming's right hand, but noticed that the old man's back was slightly bent than last year, and he sighed silently.

The role played by the old man is Huang Fangwu, an architectural designer who has lived abroad for many years. The script describes him as "well-proportioned, dignified, gentle, cheerful, and silver-haired."

The script should be tailor-made, but these adjectives should refer to the old man from last year.

When he was acting in "Home", he clearly remembered that the old man's back was not so bent.

When Wang Ji and Lei Jia appeared, Xu Rong always felt that something was missing.

Wang Ji was also a popular actor in her early years, but later resigned for some reason. He allowed Ren Ming to say that Wang Ji had taken on at least 5 dramas a year on average over the years.

Despite all the hardships, a year-round, intensive shooting schedule does not do much good for an actor.

Lei Jia has played Juemin in "Home" before, and we have a fairly good relationship with him.

However, he always felt that the performance level of this drama was lower than his expectations. His expectations for "Koshien" were at the same level as "Thunderstorm" and "Teahouse".
