Chapter 159 The comfort of strangers in a foreign land
“What are you doing here?”
Lu Yanhe approached and looked at Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong with an unkind expression.
The two people were standing outside the rehearsal room, sneaking into the rehearsal room with their mobile phones to take pictures, and they happened to be blocked by Lu Yanhe who was coming back.
Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong turned around and saw Lu Yanhe. They didn't pay attention to him at all, and said nonchalantly: "What do you care about what we are doing here? Who are you? When will it be our turn to care about us?" ”
Lu Yanhe said with a straight face: "This is the rehearsal room I reserved. You came to me to secretly take pictures. I can't even ask you questions?"
Wei Zhuoran immediately raised a stick in his neck, "Secretly filming? What the hell are you farting at?" , which of your eyes saw me secretly filming my teammates? "
Lu Yanhe glanced at Chen Jing who was practicing dancing inside the glass wall and said nothing.
He passed Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong, opened the door and went in, "Chen Jing, how are you practicing? I'm going to rest."
Chen Jing stopped immediately and said : "I'm almost done. You can rest. Thank you for lending me the rehearsal room."
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe saw that he was sweating all over, and the T-shirt on his body was soaked with sweat.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said there was no need to be so polite.
He looked back and saw that Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong, who were outside the door just now, had left.
"Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong were outside just now." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Jing.
"Ah?" Chen Jing's reaction was a little strange, and he actually frowned, as if he was worried.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay." Chen Jing stopped the stereo, thanked Lu Yanhe again, and left in a hurry.
Lu Yanhe didn't think much about it. After he left, he locked the door of the rehearsal room and prepared to take a rest.
Drowsiness has swept over me, and my eyelids are fighting.
-
In the afternoon, He Shuyi took Lu Yanhe to rehearse the "Golden Age" scene, starting from the first scene.
"As a new actor, you must first learn to figure out the characters." He Shuyi almost took Lu Yanhe step by step to analyze the script, "You are still very young and have little experience. You cannot act like those mature actors. four taels You have to work hard to perform every scene, so you have to learn to find the key points. For example, the character you played in "The Golden Age", what was your first impression of him?"
"Warm, Full of justice," Lu Yanhe said immediately.
"Yes." He Shuyi nodded, "Now close your eyes and follow my voice. Let me ask you first, can you imagine a warm and righteous image in your mind?"< br>
Lu Yanhe followed He Shuyi's instructions and sketched a figure in his mind.
"Yeah."
"Are you a warm person with a sense of justice?" He Shuyi asked.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said, "I have always wanted to be such a person."
"Very good, then do you think you look like the character in the script?"< br>
"He... is more mature than me." Lu Yanhe said, "Also, he is more tolerant than me. I can't be like him, but when I read the script, I was thinking that I hope to be such a person. ”
“Now Now, put yourself into that person." He Shuyi's voice continued to guide Lu Yanhe, "Okay, open your eyes now."
Lu Yanhe opened his eyes again, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes. At a loss.
He Shuyi said: "This is the first point I want to teach you. In acting, you must establish a sense of belief in the character. To put it bluntly, you must believe that you are the character, and then find a point of substitution, a The best acting skill for a person is to empathize and empathize, especially for young characters. Color is often more emotional than complex. You have to find the common points and differences with the character through this kind of dialogue with yourself. The common points are the incisions you take on the role, and the differences are the ones you have to use skills to smooth out. "
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.
"The second thing I want to teach you is to put aside all theories." He Shuyi said, "Acting is a skill that is constantly practiced. Third-rate acting means crying whenever you want. First-rate acting means you reach that point and It was natural for me to cry. You are a newcomer. You are most taboo. You have learned eighteen kinds of martial arts, and then you are very involved in the performance, but you are completely moved. If you don't care about others, you have to think about the drama of every scene. For example, in "The Golden Age", in the first scene where you appear, when you walk in from outside the classroom, what do you think is the drama of your character? Where?"
Lu Yanhe looked confused and shook his head, "I don't know."
He Shuyi said: "Then you. Why do you think the screenwriter wrote this scene?”
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, “This scene is the first time the heroine played by Sister Yuqian meets me. It’s in the script. The main thing is to show that Sister Yuqian fell in love with the person I played at first sight."
"Yes, so the key to this scene is, You have to give the audience the impression that you are naturally liked by Jiang Yuqian as soon as you appear." He Shuyi said, "There will be lighting, editing, music, makeup and other departments to enhance these, just to achieve what I just said. As an actor, how can you achieve this effect?"
Lu Yanhe had imagined this scene before, but in fact it was a bit artificial no matter how he thought about it.
“I don’t know. I’ve actually thought about it a lot, but it feels like no matter what expression I make or what actions I design, it all seems very artificial and redundant.”
“You think so. That's right." He Shuyi said with a smile, "If a boy makes expressions and actions with the purpose of making himself look more handsome, the final result will be that the audience thinks he is cool or It's artificial, especially in "The Golden Age", where you are a college student and you are liked by a girl at first sight in a classroom environment. Therefore, the key is three words: not knowing. "
Lu Yanhe looked at He Shuyi inexplicably, "Teacher He, according to you, there is actually no need to act at all. How can I feel comfortable?"
"Yeah." He Shuyi nodded, "Since your appearance and personality are very similar to the character, this kind of play that requires you to be in your most natural state, of course, is what makes you feel comfortable. This is the importance of finding the right eye for the scene. You You need to fully analyze what is required of you in every scene your character appears in. Some scenes require you to act exaggeratedly, some scenes require you to act more restrained, and some scenes require you to give your best performance. In terms of authenticity, some scenes will require you to completely put yourself aside and act with another personality. Only when you find the right direction will your efforts be meaningful. Just like the scene we just mentioned, if you want it wholeheartedly. In this scene, you have to be handsome, you have to be handsome, and you have to be able to impress girls with just one glance. That's too bad, you will only become more ugly and disgusting, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."
Lu Yanhe understood what He Shuyi meant.
-
It was already evening when He Shuyi finished teaching him.
The setting sun completely turned orange-red, drawing the vast sky into a deep and shallow color of dusk.
After Lu Yanhe sent He Shuyi away, he returned to the rehearsal room to pack his things.
Li Zhibai sent him a message and asked him if the class was over. If so, he would meet him downstairs in the company later and he would pick him up and eat fried chicken together.
Lu Yanhe responded with an OK.
He put his schoolbag on his back, turned off the light, closed the door, and left.
At this point, many clerical staff in the company are off work.
After waiting several times, the elevator was overcrowded and I couldn’t get in.
He thought for a while and decided to go down through the fire escape.
The floor he is on is not very high anyway.
When I walked to the third floor, I suddenly saw a person sitting on the steps of the stairs below.
Lu Yanhe slowed down.
The man heard the footsteps and looked up.
"Chen Jing?" Lu Yanhe looked at this man in surprise.
Chen Jing did not expect to meet Lu Yanhe and stood up in a hurry.
He subconsciously lowered his head and looked away, but Lu Yanhe noticed that his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried.
“Aren’t you going to record a show? Why are you still here?” Lu Yanhe asked.
"I, I won't record it anymore." Chen Jing hurriedly replied, raising his legs to leave, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Before Lu Yanhe could say anything, Chen Jing walked upstairs and passed by Lu Yanhe, as if he was afraid that Lu Yanhe would ask.
Only a fool can’t see that Chen Jing is in a bad mood now.
No more recording?
It is estimated that Chen Jing's bad mood is related to this incident. For this show, Chen Jing was still practicing dancing at noon, but in the end he stopped recording. This is not in vain.
I don’t know what happened to the recording of this program.
Lu Yanhe went downstairs, walked out of the company door, and came to the roadside.
Li Zhibai's car has been parked on the side of the road, waiting for him.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat fried chicken at night?" Lu Yanhe opened the car door and got in. After getting in, he saw that not only Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were in the car, but also Li Zhenzhen, "Li PD, You’re still here!”
Li Zhenzhen is really tall. His hair had been tied up, his eyes rolled up, and he asked with a smile: "What's wrong, aren't you happy to see me?"
"No, it was just a surprise. I thought you had gone back." Lu Yanhe asked, "Are you following Li Zhibai all day today?"
"Yes, but he stayed in the house all day long and didn't go out." Li Zhenzhen sighed, "So I proposed that we go out to eat fried chicken together in the evening and I would treat him."
"Oh, So that's it." Lu Yanhe thought to himself, no wonder, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang never said they wanted to eat fried chicken, so it turns out there was someone else.
The road is a bit congested during the evening rush hour.
Yan Liang flipped through his phone and said, "I don't know what happened to Chen Jing."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard the name.
"In the afternoon, MX's official account sent a note saying that Chen Jing needs to miss the recording of "Ace Brawl" due to physical reasons." Yan Liang explained.
"Physical reasons?" Lu Yanhe was even more surprised.
"That's a pity. The show "Ace Fight" is quite popular. I heard that MX had to talk about recording this episode for a long time before the two parties reached an agreement." Li Zhenzhen said, "Originally All members of MX can participate in the recording.”
Lu Yanhe thought about the Chen Jing he had just seen, and it didn’t look like he had any physical problems.
I also practiced dancing all day at noon.
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue and said, "What's wrong with you? Maybe you just don't want to be recorded, so you just found this excuse. Anyway, it's not like you don't know about those people in MX. After they become famous, they will just give up their picks." pick It’s okay even if you give up. They are popular, and if they are not dedicated, they will beg them to appear on a lot of shows.”
Yan Liang: “That’s right.”
Lu Yanhe thought about it, but still. Said: "It shouldn't be that Chen Jing is the pick."
"Huh?" Yan Liang was a little surprised that Lu Yanhe would speak for Chen Jing at this time, "Do you know what's going on?" Lu Yanhe said: "He was still here at noon today He practiced dancing all afternoon in the rehearsal room I reserved. If he attaches so much importance to performing in this show, he shouldn’t give it up for no reason.”
Yan Liang: "Then why did he suddenly stop recording the show?"
"I don't know." Lu Yanhe also shook his head, thinking of Chen Jing he saw when he went downstairs just now, "Maybe some accident happened. Right."
"Is it really a physical problem?" Yan Liang asked in surprise.
"What can go wrong? At most it's just a twisted foot." Li Zhibai said immediately.
The two of them did not have a good impression of MX, and they also had a bad impression of Chen Jing.
Although Lu Yanhe spoke for Chen Jing, it did not affect the two of them to still speculate on Chen Jing with a negative impression.
Li Zhenzhen said: "You are from the same company. I really want to know what's going on. Just find someone who knows and ask."
"What are you asking? What's there to ask? Yes, their MX thing has nothing to do with me," Li Zhibai said immediately.
Li Zhenzhen showed a slightly speechless expression.
After observing for a day, Li Zhenzhen finally discovered that this handsome and popular male idol is actually a child who has not grown up much. He has been pampered by his family since he was a child and has a bad temper. It's easy to get angry, and he always says what he means.
But human nature is good.
After observing for a whole day, Li Zhenzhen hopes that Li Zhibai will join his show even more.
An artist with such a strong self-personality is really rare in the entertainment industry.
Today’s idol artists are too perfect and distorted.
Among Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Zhen, it can also be seen that Li Zhibai has the most distinctive personality and rarely restrains himself. No matter who he is in front of, he is always the one. A vigorous look.
-
There are quite a lot of people at the fried chicken restaurant.
Fortunately, Li Zhibai booked a seat in advance.
There was a line of people sitting in front of the store waiting for a table.
A few of them entered the store directly, which made people very angry and asked why they could go in first.
The waiter explained that they had made a reservation in advance.
Someone recognized Li Zhibai.
“That’s a celebrity, right?”
“Does a celebrity have any privileges if he doesn’t have to queue up?”
“Uh, didn’t I tell you to reserve a seat in advance?”
"Why didn't I know that I could reserve a seat in advance?"
......
Li Zhibai was about to step into the store. Hearing everyone's comments, he closed his feet again. When he came back, he turned around and said: "Call, order the food in advance, pay the bill, and you can Isn’t there a guide for booking a table online? Next time you come to this kind of internet celebrity restaurant, you should read more about the guide. It’s obvious that you have to wait for a table when you come to this kind of restaurant. If you don’t want to wait, just think of a way.”
The people waiting for their seats looked at Li Zhibai in bewilderment.
After Li Zhibai finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the old god walked in under their gazes.
Yan Liang glanced at him speechlessly and said: "You too, why are you explaining so much?"
Li Zhibai said: "Then what if this incident is spread on the Internet and it is said that I have star privileges? Everyone recognizes me."
He took off his mask and sighed, "You can still recognize me wearing a mask. I'm so red."
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang. Uni-President rolled his eyelids.
Because they had ordered things in advance, fried chicken, drinks, and fruits were served shortly after they sat down.
Worried that one portion of fried chicken would not be enough for four people, Li Zhibai also ordered a portion of pork chop.
Li Zhenzhen asked curiously: "Do you guys often go out to eat together?"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"You have to come out a few times every week."
"Aren't you worried about being recognized by fans? It would be troublesome?" Li Zhenzhen asked again.
Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, glanced at the two of them, and said, "You overestimate us too. Apart from Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and I don't actually know many people. We seem to have some fans online, but in reality, Scattered to various places, the people who know us are only better than "No, it doesn't affect our travel. It's not that popular."
Yan Liang also nodded and agreed, "Even if he recognizes us occasionally, he just wants to take a photo with us, so it's not a trouble. "
Li Zhenzhen smiled awkwardly.
Facing this kind of artist who has trampled himself into the dust, Li Zhenzhen really doesn’t know how to answer the question.
Generally, the artists she has seen at this age are a little proud of themselves.
Not to mention that all of them have high self-esteem, but they are certainly not sober like Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, which makes people feel a little presumptuous.
At this time, Li Zhibai said: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you are known by some people. If you are not famous to the level of a national superstar, why can't you go out? At most, you will be stared at a few times. ”
Li Zhenzhen feels that the three of them are quite real, and they are rare artists who don’t regard themselves as celebrities.
Maybe it has something to do with their experience of going downhill after debuting?
When that talent show was aired, they were very popular.
Indeed, few people can experience the peak and the bottom at the same time when they are seventeen or eighteen years old.
"What are you studying every day now?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe: "In the morning, I learned what is a good performance, and in the afternoon I learned how to perform well, one theory and one practice."
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue.
"Chen Ziyan is really attentive to you."
"She has arranged a lot of classes for me, Wen Minglan and Tu Song, and everyone is in class." Lu Yanhe said in a dumbfounded way, "They are all letting us lay the foundation."
"She is quite responsible. This afternoon Zhou Ping'an gave me another business performance, what do you think it is?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Unimaginable.
Li Zhibai said: "When a real estate project opens, let me go to the hot spot."
Lu Yanhe: "...Does he accept this kind of business performance for you?"
"Yes, you can't think of it?" Li Zhibai said with a tantrum, "What he said is that he gave you money. A lot, I’m free anyway.”
Lu Yanhe: “Then you go.” ?”
Li Zhibai said: “You can’t always refuse. I have refused seven or eight times before. If I continue to refuse, I think he will explode. This kind of low-level performance will make him explode. But I accepted all comers."
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Zhou Ping'an is like this. In order to make money, he doesn't consider the bad impact this kind of work will have on Li Zhibai's image.
This kind of real estate opening business is a purely commercial performance, and the stage is generally very low, and there is no so-called stage design.
Li Zhibai has been criticized by many fans on the Internet for taking this kind of job, which seems too low.
The three people complained that Zhou Pingan did not avoid Li Zhenzhen at all.
Li Zhenzhen used to work with Chen Biqiu as an assistant director. He also often had contact with artist management teams and dealt with many management teams.
Although Li Zhenzhen also felt that Zhou Ping'an was a bit excessive about this matter that Li Zhibai complained about, it was still nothing compared to other things she knew.
It can only be said that different people will do different things, and the relationships between different artists and different management teams are also all kinds of strange and varied.
Li Zhibai is an artist who has a certain degree of autonomy and will not be led by the management team. However, some artists are more miserable. They have become completely tools of the management team and have to listen to the team in everything.
"PD Li, why did you go to South Korea before?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Zhenzhen said: "Korean variety shows are very successful, and I also want to learn from their experience. I have always wanted to do my own show, but if I don't improve myself, I will have to endure the qualifications like this." It will probably be seven or eight years before I can produce my own show one day. This time after I returned from my studies, Director Chen happened to support me and help me become a producer, so I got the green light for this show.”
< br>
"Are Korean variety shows very successful?"
"Well, they are different from our domestic environment. They are small places, the market is relatively small, there are many artists, and several TV stations compete with each other. It's very intense, but the production budget for a program is actually only so much, and we can't just throw money at it like some of our programs. In order for big-name artists to stand out, they have to constantly innovate and come up with new ideas. "Li Zhenzhen said, "In fact, making variety shows is to follow the trend of the times and find points that can hit everyone's common points. Many programs are completely focused on this. It's funny, because this is the most popular one, and audiences of all ages will like it. , but the homogenization is too serious, which also makes comedy programs very difficult. I am also living in South Korea. I am not familiar with the place, and I feel a sense of loneliness like a stranger in a foreign land. Suddenly I thought of this young people living together. Concept, I hope to be able to create such a program that brings together some young artists, and it is best to make it an evergreen program. , find a time every year to get together and film this show. The artists grow with the show, and the show can also grow with the artists, just like the three years you three have lived together. If someone records it, wait for you. In ten or twenty years, it will definitely be a very warm memory."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He actually understood what Li Zhenzhen was thinking.
As soon as Li Zhenzhen said the words "foreigner in a foreign land", he suddenly became enlightened.
People need friends, but not everyone is lucky enough to meet true friends.
When a program is done well, it can become a kind of comfort.
The kind of friendship that cannot be experienced in reality is also a kind of comfort to feel from the show.
