Chapter 21: Aren’t you scared? (Please vote, please read)
Seeing Gong Li’s promise, Zhou Yan said in surprise, “Sister Li, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Gong Li pointed to the melon seeds on the table with a smile, "Isn't it already gone? I happen to have nothing to do today, so let's not waste time and find a place to practice."
" Let’s go to the Small Fourth Courtyard, where the next scene will probably be filmed.”
“Okay, let me clean up.”
Gong Li put away the newly folded clothes, first grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds in her pocket, and then said to Zhou Yan, "Take the teapot and cups on the table with you."
Zhou Yan walked over, He picked up the teapot and saw that the water was cold, so he asked, "Would you like a hot pot instead?"
Gong Li giggled, "You are stupid, you are not bringing water for drinking. Don’t I have to drink in the play? This is a prop.”
Zhou Yan patted his head, “Sister Li thought it through.”
When they arrived at the main hall of Xiaosiyuan, Gong Li stood aside. He grabbed the melon seeds in his pocket and put them on the table, and then said to Zhou Yan, "Let's go through the play first. Is this part of the script correct? I don't remember the lines that clearly."
"Yes, yes."
Zhou Yan took out a pile of crumpled paper from his pocket. He had kept this script in his pocket for two days.
Although he is not good at acting, he has a good memory. When Gao Jinwen took him through the scene the morning before, he had memorized all his lines and did not use the script at all later.
Gong Li took the script and just briefly read it. She had read the script many times before and was quite familiar with it. She read it again now to deepen her impression.
"Let's start." Gong Li said.
Zhou Yan nodded, walked out of the house according to the procedure, and then walked in again.
From the time he went out to the time he came in again, it only took ten seconds, but Gong Li had completely changed her state. She was leaning on the table, supporting her head with her palms, looking drunk and hazy. of.
Zhou Yan noticed that her body was swaying slightly, much like she was drunk. Zhou Yan couldn't help but secretly praise him, this professional actor is really different.
"Young master, you are back."
"I..."
As soon as Zhou Yan opened his mouth, he realized that he was wrong. According to the lines, he should have said "Why are you drinking" at this time, but subconsciously he wanted to reply "I'm back".
Before this, he had practiced his lines alone for two days, thinking that at least he would not make mistakes in his lines, but it turned out that he had overestimated himself.
It is one thing to write down the lines, but it is another thing to be able to say them in actual combat.
Gong Li was not surprised at all when she saw Zhou Yan mixing garlic in his mouth. She gave Zhou Yan an encouraging look and said softly, "It's okay if you're wrong, continue."
Zhou Yan took a sip. Tone, say the correct lines, "Why are you drinking?"
Although the tone is not good enough, at least the lines are spoken completely and accurately.
Gong Li maintained her condition very well and was not interrupted by Zhou Yan's mistakes. She sneered, sat up and pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down."
When Zhou Yan sat down, Gong Li picked up the wine glass and said, "I am congratulating myself on my birthday."
Gong Li's performance was still very good, her words and actions showed her loneliness and self-deprecation very well.
Then she showed a kind of disdain, which probably meant that no one wished me a birthday, so I could wish myself a birthday. "Would you like to have a drink and wish me a happy birthday?"
After asking, without waiting for an answer, she directly picked up the kettle and poured some water into the cup, and brought it straight in front of Zhou Yan. Because she stopped too suddenly, the water spilled on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan took the cup and said his lines seriously, "Okay, I'll drink with you and wish you live to be ninety-nine."
......
The two of them followed the script like this until the end of the scene. Except for the wrong line at the beginning, there was no further stop.
At this time, Gong Li switched back from Songlian. She smiled and said, "The performance is not bad. After all, it is the first time to act."
Zhou Yan really felt that he deserved this compliment, because this paragraph He has been walking alone for two days, but it is still so bad. During the walking process just now, Zhou Yan was basically watching Gong Li perform alone. He was like a fool and was stiff under Gong Li's aura. Memorize the lines.
The effect of him speaking his lines is no different from the effect of putting a recorded speaker opposite Gong Li and playing out the recorded words sentence by sentence. The effect of the speaker is even better, at least there will be no mistakes.
After the compliment, Gong Li started to talk about Zhou Yan's problems, "I will remember all the questions you just asked. First of all, your body is too upright. If you care about why I drink, your body should at least go to me. Lean this way, and then I asked you to sit down, and you sat directly over, as if you had aimed it in advance. You were not surprised at all when the wine was poured on you, and you didn't even look at the wine on you. Also, I gave it to you. "You didn't drink the wine. Do you think you disliked the cup?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I just..."
"You have to show what's going on in the scene. You can't hide it when filming later."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Understood, I have remembered all the questions you asked just now, Sister Li. Next time I'll try my best to correct it."
Gong Li shook her head and smiled, "First of all, you don't want to talk to me. It sounds awkward to me if you call me Sister Li, and you talk to your sister at home. I also call you. Also, you don’t need to remember the problem I just mentioned, because the core problem is that you are too nervous and too deliberate, and you are always thinking about showing what you have designed before. This thing is not like this. "
"A lot of people talk about acting skills. I think that skills are not necessary at all. You have to use your heart to feel and create the characters. That is the best interpretation and performance of the characters. For example, for me. The points I just mentioned are actually the reactions of normal people in this kind of environment. If you care about people, you must lean towards the people you care about. If wine is spilled on you, you will definitely care. If you relax a little, yes "It can be done."
Zhou Yan blinked a few times. He also knew that feelings were needed to create characters, but feelings were too broad and vague, and the courses Gao Jinwen set for him were to be followed step by step. Break down the action for each step.
Seeing Zhou Yan's hesitation, Gong Li also knew that it was very difficult for newcomers to find characters, so she smiled and said, "Don't think too much now, just put aside the designs in your mind and just follow my rhythm. "
"Is this okay?"
Gong Li said very confidently, "No problem, as long as you remember, you are Chen Feipu and I am Songlian."
Infected by Gong Li's confidence, Zhou Yan felt that his confidence had become stronger. He nodded and walked outside the door, and the two began the second round of rehearsal.
Zhou Yan’s performance was much better the second time, at least he didn’t say the lines wrong in the first sentence.
This time, Zhou Yan tried not to let himself think about the decomposition steps designed by Gao Jinwen for himself, but followed Gong Li's rhythm wholeheartedly.
He found that after not thinking about the decomposition steps, he felt much more relaxed. The key was that Gong Li was great and could lead him with her emotions.
The first step was completed smoothly. At the last step, Zhou Yan stood up to leave, but Gong Li hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Feipu!"
She stood up slowly, and their eyes met. There seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes, but she couldn't say them out.
Seeing Gong Li's expression, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then ran away in panic.
After he ran for a while, he heard Gong Li burst into laughter from behind, "Brother, you won't be scared, right?"
