Chapter 7 Liberating Nature
When Wang Peng said that Xu Kun's expression was stiff, Xu Kun actually didn't believe in evil, but after gesticulating in the mirror, he couldn't believe it.
The expression reflected in the mirror was indeed stiff and disharmonious, as if he were wearing an ill-fitting human skin mask. It was fine if you didn't look closely, but the more you looked carefully, the more awkward it became.
But why is this?
Being a lecherous bandit is almost a natural performance for him, and it stands to reason that he should hold it in his hand.
If you are playing yourself, how can you still fail in your performance?
Xu Kun was eager to understand the reason, so he ignored the extras who were performing a scene and went directly into the woods.
When they got to the bottom of the slope, they saw Baoqiang with his back to the protective pad, twisting and posing on the slope.
Ugh~!
Xu Kun immediately shuddered, wondering if this guy was gay. In that case, if he invited him to live with him, wouldn't he be inviting a wolf into the house?
"Brother Kun, you are back."
At this time, Baoqiang also discovered Xu Kun, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He pointed to the mat on the slope and said, "Please help me keep an eye on it. I'll practice it twice more to avoid something goes wrong in the future."
"Uh, yeah."
Xu Kun responded vaguely, and while climbing up the slope, he tentatively said, "What did you just say..."
Bao Qiang said calmly: "I am going to be a stand-in for the second female lead. I will have to pretend to be a woman and fall down the slope. The postures and movements of this man and the woman are definitely different, so I want to get used to it in advance."
So that’s what happened.
Knowing that it was a false alarm, Xu Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the mat and asked, "How can I help you?"
"Just keep an eye on me and don't let me roll off the mat."
When Xu Kun responded, Baoqiang put on another 'enchanting' posture, and then he held his throat and made an 'ah' sound, then flipped backwards in the air, fluttering his hands randomly like a backstroke, and landed firmly on the mat.
The movements were smooth and flowing. If he hadn't confirmed the top of the slope to protect himself, Xu Kun would have thought that he was kicked down from above.
Baoqiang was obviously very satisfied with his jump just now. He climbed up from the mat and asked with a grin: "Brother Kun, how do you think it looks?"
Xu Kun recalled the scene just now and found that he seemed to be waving his arms randomly, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to cover his face to avoid being exposed. From the perspective of an amateur like him, there was basically nothing to criticize.
wrong!
"I almost forgot to mention it."
Xu Kun slapped his forehead: "That director Sun said that he wanted to change the scene, and change the injured arm to scratched clothes."
As he spoke, he made exaggerated gestures on his chest: "If I want to dance like you do, the middle door must be wide open. Even if you can stuff two steamed buns inside, the color of your skin won't match."
"this……"
When Bao Qiang heard that the director had changed the play, his dark baby face suddenly fell down and he muttered: "If this is the case, all the postures and movements will have to be redesigned."
Seeing him chattering and gesticulating with his hands, looking a little dazed, Xu Kun hurriedly found the opportunity to explain the troubles he encountered.
After Wang Baoqiang heard this, he immediately asked, "Brother Kun, have you been thinking about how to perform this scene well?"
Xu Kun nodded without thinking: "That's for sure. This is my first time as an extra, and I was lucky enough to pick up a line. How can I not try my best to perform well?"
Bao Qiang said sternly: "It's probably because you want to act well, so the expression on your face is so stiff. Many people are like this when they first enter the industry. The more they want to be the best, the more out of shape their expressions and movements become, especially When facing the camera.”
Xu Kun suddenly realized that this kind of thing was obvious at first glance. To put it bluntly, it was caused by excessive tension. No wonder the more he tried to correct it along the way, the worse the effect became.
He felt that he had seen strong winds and waves before, so he didn't think about it. Now it seems that this wind and waves are still very different.
"How to overcome this kind of nervousness?"
"Generally, you get used to it after you act a lot." Bao Qiang scratched his head uncertainly and said, "I heard that students from Beijing Film Academy specialize in doing things that make people feel ashamed. It's called liberating nature. "
"I think I've heard of this too."
Xu Kun nodded thoughtfully, thinking that the method taught by this vocational school must have its own uniqueness, and Bao Qiang's pretense just now should also fall into the category of liberating nature. Maybe he can try to liberate his nature in the future.
However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst, the most important thing is to get through the current hurdle first.
"Is there any quick fix?"
Xu Kun looked at Baoqiang with hope.
Baoqiang thought about what he had learned in the past two years, and hesitated for a while before saying: "How about you try to take on the role, that is, don't think about playing a bandit, just think of yourself as a lustful bandit, and then see you The second female lead’s true emotions are shown.”
After a pause, he added: "If the personalities are more compatible, this method would be easier, but if they are not..."
"I understand, I understand!"
Xu Kun shook his arms excitedly before he finished speaking, turned around and ran down the slope.
Seeing him jumping and running away, Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but grin. Originally, he was worried that Xu Kun was acting on a whim, and might soon get tired of being an extra. But now he saw Xu Kun acting like this By carefully studying the lines and roles, Baoqiang felt more at ease.
After laughing for a while, Baoqiang suddenly remembered something and stamped his feet anxiously: "Brother Kun, Brother Kun, I have to keep falling. Please help me keep an eye on it!"
…………
Xu Kun did not return to the grove, but he did invite Wang Peng over. Since he was modifying stunts, Wang Peng must be the more professional martial artist.
After solving Wang Baoqiang's problem, Xu Kun quietly walked closer to the carriage and stared at Miss Xu, who played the second female lead, up and down. The waist is enlarged and the breasts are enlarged, and the livid face is gritting the teeth...
Uh~
It’s better to block your face first.
Xu Kun pondered in silence for a while, staring straight at Miss Xu's body. He raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the person next to him. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, this little girl is really good-looking. interesting!"
"What?"
The man next to him was confused at first, then slapped his paw away and cursed: "Who is your big brother, are you acting like a gangster?!"
Only then did Xu Kun realize that there was a woman next to him. Seeing that the woman stepped back with a look of disgust on her face, as if she was about to shout 'indecent' at any moment, he apologized with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I I was just working on my lines, it was the first time I got a line, I was really excited.”
"The right lines?"
The staff member stared at Xu Kun for a while, then turned around and left with a 'hum'.
Xu Kun stayed there alone and laughed. Although he didn't look in the mirror just now, he was sure that this performance was much more natural than before. After all, it was a catharsis of emotions from the heart.
However, the brewing time is a bit long, and it has to be stimulated by a specific object - if he is in front of an average-looking or even ugly woman, he will definitely not be able to act.
This is just a true performance. If he had to change into a role that didn't suit him, he would probably be blinded on the spot.
Through this incident, Xu Kun finally gained a basic understanding of the art of acting, which allowed him to curb his arrogance of "I can do whatever I want" and at the same time find the pleasure of challenging himself.
After having fun for a while, Xu Kun found the male stage manager, got close to him and started to have sex again, and tried to shorten the time of brewing emotions as much as possible.
Just like that, when Xu Kun recognized the fifth eldest brother, he suddenly heard Chen Xuebin shouting from a loudspeaker: "Extras, extras, all the extras come quickly and get in place. Let's film the robbery scene first!" "
Xu Kun walked over without finishing his thoughts. Seeing that the others hadn't come over yet, he handed Chen Xuebin a Hongtashan and asked quietly: "Brother Chen, has the second female lead agreed to change the play?"
"What can I do if I don't agree?"
Chen Xuebin took a deep breath from his cigarette, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "You didn't even see Director Sun before you started scolding your ancestors. If your acting skills are not good, naturally you can only rely on your looks to make up for it."
