Chapter 2 The best place to practice acting
Why do actors make so much money?
It is definitely not a hidden - rule. The first thing a director has to consider is how to not lose money. Even if some famous directors want to promote newcomers, they still need the newcomer to be suitable for the role and have excellent acting skills. In other words, even if someone is hidden, it means that she can be promoted to this role. As for male actors, they are even more involved in acting. Sometimes, even if you have a wide connection, as long as the role is not suitable, some dramas will definitely not be allowed to play. In other words, if an actor wants to be successful, in addition to his superb acting skills and broad connections, the most important thing is to find his own acting path. Liu Yiyang in "Naked Marriage" will not ask Sun Honglei to play. No one wants to see Liu Huaqiang as a man who is troubled by money for milk powder; of course, Yu Zecheng in "Land of Hidden" will definitely not be played by Wen Zhang, and he cannot play the conspiracy to the depth of his bones.
Shao Yingxiong knew what his acting style was. He was strong, with a prominent muscle, a strong appearance and a hidden hat... His acting style was a tough guy. In fact, when he was at the Beijing Film Academy, he played a tough guy role, but most of them died at the gun of the Japanese or rather than surrender in prison. These so-called tough guys were just flashing on the screen, and there was no way to see where the strength was. Moreover, today's audiences have long been used to this kind of indomitableness, and this kind of "hard" has long been unable to shake people's hearts. Shao Yingxiong wants to learn more professional performances about tough guys, which are definitely not taught by professors on university campuses.
After buying back the computer that was "viralized" from an Internet cafe, Shao Yingxiong took a week off. This week could not make his acting skills qualitatively, but this week could allow him to madly replenish everything he needed after finding his positioning.
Shao Yingxiong rented a house alone outside and bought a mirror that could see his whole body. Then, he began to watch TV series and movies day and night.
He saw Will Smith's performance in "I Am Legend". His sense of loneliness and unyielding sense of infernal intent belong to the temperament of a tough guy. When he went to watch "The Enemy of the People", he was completely stunned. It turned out that the tough guy could really be performed by a performance. Otherwise, how could Will Smith play such a wise and sleek in "The Enemy of the People"?
He watched "Aggression Attacks the Heart". At this moment, Shao Yingxiong really didn't expect that Jason Statham, among the two big blast guns, could make himself so hard. His shuttled through the rain of bullets, his every look was furious. A wild movie made this guy who seemed to be able to kill with his eyes push the rhythm to the extreme!
There are many unexpected things in this computer, but there are also many things that need to be thought about by Shao Yingxiong himself.
For example, Sun Honglei's success is definitely not an accident. His early TV series "Like Fog, Rain and Wind" and the movie "My Father and Mother" were very focused, but he has not fully demonstrated his characteristics. Starting from "Conquest", everything changed. At that time, Sun Honglei had an inadvertent smile in anger, a sudden roar in a critical situation, and sometimes, his performance was exactly the opposite of the narrative rhythm of the entire story... but it completely matched all plots!
This is the characteristic of European and American actors. The most inconsistent performance is performed with the most inconsistent scenes. This will make the audience remember you quickly and leave a deep impression.
Shao Yingxiong still remembers that the teacher said these things when he was in school, but at that time these things were just one sentence, that's all, just like the saying "I don't know the kindness of my parents if I don't raise a child." Before a child becomes a father, he will never understand the meaning behind the literal meaning. Don't get me wrong. The literal meaning has not changed at all. It's just that I have no qualifications to understand it without experiencing it.
After falling from the future star of the Beijing Film Academy to the Prouss KTV, Shao Yingxiong watched too much in this magnificent KTV, and his understanding of the entire society has become deeper. Although he still cannot perform the old actors like "Niu Ben" and "Rooksheng" as lightweight, the meaning of the two words "Performance" has completely changed his mind.
Shao Yingxiong, who completely fell into this computer, was like he was sucked in by a whirlpool and could no longer pull it out, and he was deeply trapped in it.
He cried in the house, and based on the original performance, he used crying to show four emotions: joy, anger, sorrow and joy; he laughed in the house, and there was sarcasm, helplessness, joy and ecstasy in his smile.
He began to practice lines endlessly in the room. This line can be a sentence that sounds in his mind at any time, but this sentence must be twisted and rectified, such as: I love you. I love you! I, love you?
Now, Shao Yingxiong finally understood why the teachers at the Beijing Film Academy always said this. They said: "Entering the Beijing Film Academy only means that you have learned acting, not that you are actors, nor that you are destined to be a superstar. The entertainment industry is completely different from what you imagined. It is a battlefield for dogs and a paradise for wolves."
A week passed quickly. Shao Yingxiong, who had no rich performance experience, had to go back to work. He had to survive and improve himself frantically while having enough food and clothing. So he regarded Prous KTV as his crew.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Shao Yingxiong once again appeared at the entrance of the five-story "Pros KTV". At this time, the KTV had already visited guests, and the girls who had not made much money the day before would start construction a little early. At this time, the entrance of the Pros KTV was full of Yingying and Cuicui, and various luxury cars were endless.
When Shao Yingxiong, wearing a jeans, just walked to the vicinity of Guan Gong statue, he ran into the girl who had slapped his butt. Shao Yingxiong immediately remembered "The National Enemy". He didn't change his temperament at all. When the two of them were facing each other, Shao Yingxiong suddenly smiled: "Hey, have you seen what words written on my chest?"
The little beauty with a rosy face suddenly froze. She had already felt Shao Yingxiong, and she felt more curious. Out of this curiosity, she actually looked at Shao Yingxiong's chest carefully, and finally responded without finding anything: "What?"
Shao Yingxiong smiled and leaned his head to the little beauty's ear, poured out his heat and said, "Don't touch if you have to buy it, have you never visited the zoo wholesale market?"
After a word, Shao Yingxiong took a step forward. The little beauty was so funny that she was about to laugh... Slap!
This time it was Shao Yingxiong. He waved his hand at the beauty's butt when he was catching his shoulders, then quickly walked upstairs and said without looking back: "The original item is returned. If you commit it again next time, you will have to collect interest." The laughter that should have been heard was slapped back by Shao Yingxiong. This sudden effect was just like a superb performance in the movie.
Shao Yingxiong did not go far. He listened to the reaction of the little beauty at the corner of the stairs because he was playing a "national rival" with superb skills in picking up girls. Such people will not only touch their hands and feet when pursuing a girl, but also create enough comfort in this situation.
Three seconds!
Five seconds!
There is no screaming, no girls who usually don't pay attention to their image...
"Oh, you scared me." Liu suddenly came out of the stairs and said in a muttering manner: "What's wrong with you today? The little beauty stood downstairs and looked at the stairs. You were hiding at the stairs. Why? He just came back to work and was playing hide-and-seek with the little beauty?" Liu's face was a slutty-smile expression conveyed a message, and Shao Yingxiong succeeded.
Shao Yingxiong didn't like that girl, but he brought the little beauty into a comfortable environment through performance, making the little beauty mistakenly think that she liked her, and this is her acting skills.
Yes, this is not authentic, but Shao Yingxiong has no suitable place to hone his acting skills except practicing here. Here, he can directly feel the audience's feelings. Da Liu is a good example.
However, performing to the girls in KTV is definitely not a difficult job. Although the girls here have to face many guests every day, few girls classify the guests and serve everyone well. If they can do all this, they will probably have become courtesans long ago.
"Xiao Shao, you've shown up. Do you want to wait until we're exhausted before coming to work?"
The foreman had a bad face. It was obvious that he was unhappy about the substitute after Shao Yingxiong left. After all, there were only a few waiters on the first floor. One of them asked for leave and he was going to work as a waiter, let alone a week.
After hearing the sound, Shao Yingxiong walked upstairs slowly, and he was breathing heavily as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. When he climbed up the stairs, he took a deep breath while standing in front of the foreman and said, "Sorry, I don't want to, but this severe cold is indeed very uncomfortable, and he still has some breathing problems..."
Shao Yingxiong still remembers how to perform the pathology in the movie. He made his eyebrows not frown, his hands naturally droop, and his slightly hunched back showed his weak and serious illness.
"If you don't recover from your illness, what kind of work do you come to work? Who will be responsible if something happens?" The foreman looked at Shao Yingxiong's appearance. The other party's waxy face that had been staying up for a week has become important evidence. They all came out to work. No one has any difficulties. The foreman felt soft and shouted to the distance: "Big Liu! Big Liu!! Your private room and Xiao Shao are recently, help him tonight."
Liu asked innocently: "Why!"
"Not so much nonsense, just let you do it!"
Liu was stupid. He remembered that the person who was the most popular here was Shao Yingxiong. How could the foreman...
Shao Yingxiong was full of joy, and he succeeded again! What is the meaning of the performance? It is to make the audience believe! After the sense of substitution in movies or TV series appears, it promotes the audience's emotions, otherwise how can there be a saying of acting? But Shao Yingxiong is not satisfied yet. Not everyone in KTV girls are old fryers, and this foreman may not have rich experience. He wants his performance to go deeper and make the audience in front of the TV or the big screen experience emotional fluctuations with the plot. Then, the guests here are Shao Yingxiong's real test papers.
People who can come to "Prous KTV" who can hear the expensive taste just by listening to the name are mostly valuable and have rich social experience. If they can recognize it...
When a regular customer appeared on the left, Shao Yingxiong posted it immediately, approached with affectionate face, and spoke at a safe distance of two steps away: "Mr. Zhang, you are here, which private room to play? As your identity, you must be a VIP... Mr. Zhang, brothers are likely to serve you for the last time. My hometown is flooded and the house is flooded. I have to go back to see how my family is..." Shao Yingxiong became dull from the initial enthusiasm through chatting, and finally turned into loss. Every expression matched the current line. At the end, he was actually forcing a smile!
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he seemed to see the worry in Shao Yingxiong's eyes, and even saw the longing in his frown brows. Then, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a bill and stuffed it into Shao Yingxiong's hand.
Shao Yingxiong was stunned. He looked at the banknotes and did not reach out to pick them up. Instead, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Zhang, I don't mean that. I just feel that you have come here so many times and have to say hello when you leave, otherwise you are too ignorant of the world."
Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, and took out a banknote from his wallet, stuffed the two into Shao Yingxiong's hand, patted his shoulder and walked back to his private room.
"Mr. Zhang's spirit!!!"
A slightly moved, trembling voice came, and Mr. Zhang turned around at the door of the private room and smiled.
In the private room, Mr. Zhang hugged the girl beside him and said, "Do you know, I have never been so happy to tip. Today, I actually felt the sincerity of a waiter. It's really his mother's evil door!"
Liu was stupid. He never knew that Shao Yingxiong had such luck. He took a week off and got two hundred tips as soon as he went to work. Is this still the cold and stinky little Shao who always had a bad face? Where did Shao Yingxiong, who always felt that he was not pregnant, go?
Shao Yingxiong was completely busy in Prolos KTV, running in the corridor, constantly borrowing various scenes to perform various roles. He found that his sense of depression here disappeared, all of this originated from his finding his own happiness.
Shao Yingxiong has a plan. While he is improving himself quickly, he saves some money, then buys clothes that can be seen, and cheers up again. He wants to go to major crews, and he will not give up even if he has a chance after failing ten thousand times.
Because Shao Yingxiong understood that as long as an actor has played more than three roles that can impress the audience, he can ask for a lot of money from the crew invited him to join. However, before finding these three starting points, the hardships that every actor has experienced are unimaginable. Above this starting point, there is glory, and below the starting point, there may be a dangerous house less than ten square meters in an old urban village.
Therefore, hard work is the only condition for success.
