I want to make headlines

Chapter 54 Mei Lanfang and Cheng Dieyi

What should Mei Lanfang look like?
After initially passing the camera, Gan Jing fell into deep thinking.

All of his acting experience, including the grasp of the camera and the familiarity with the scene, all come from the acting experience in his mind, and this kind of acting experience belongs to Leslie Cheung and to Farewell My Concubine Li Cheng Dieyi.

"I want Mei Lanfang, not Cheng Dieyi."

When Gan Jing thought he had mastered acting skills, Chen Kaige suddenly found Gan Jing and emphasized so solemnly.

Gan Jing was slightly confused, and the director stopped the camera for the next few days.

Some members of the crew once again fell into the mood of schadenfreude.

"Tell me, this person's acting is not very good. It's better to let him play the leading role than me."

"Whoever says no, who knows how he got the starring role."

"Maybe it's a family relationship, Director Chen wants to praise him."

Ridiculous words would not be spoken in front of Gan Jing's face, but they would always pass into his ears if there was nothing, intentionally or unintentionally.

These voices were neither too painful nor too soft, just the lingering scratching and scratching, which made Gan Jing a little upset.

One day, when he was watching other people filming, he heard similar words again, and in a fit of rage, Gan Jing silently left the crowd and walked to a quiet place.

He frowned and looked at the crowd who were still watching, feeling a little hesitant about one thing.

Now I can't find the feeling of filming. I don't know if I can make a breakthrough based on my own thinking and temporary teaching. If I can't make a breakthrough and fail to meet Chen Kaige's requirements, will I still face the situation of being replaced?
There are not many shots that have been shot so far, and it is completely possible to shoot again with a replacement.

Gan Jing walked a few steps, his thoughts sank, and he felt the system in his mind, which had more than 40 points of attention, enough for another lap.

I guessed before that the things obtained by the hoop will be affected by the surrounding environment, and now the hoop on the set is likely to gain performance-related experience.

However, the [Linglong Dice] skill was obtained in the casino, and the [Performance Experience] skill book was obtained in the audience of Peking Opera performances... The rules I summed up may not be accurate.

The crew members watching from behind suddenly burst into an uproar, not knowing what happened.

When Gan Jing heard this voice, the hesitation in his heart suddenly turned into firmness—the old will not go, and the new will not come!I have acquired useful acting experience today, and if I perform well, I will naturally make headlines in the media and gain more attention.

He closed his eyes for a while, and with a thought in his mind, the phantom threw out the circle and accurately caught a mosaic.

After a few seconds, the mosaic on the things in the set gradually disappeared, and a few words slowly appeared on it—【Magical Tongue】.

Um?Um? ? ?
What the hell?What I want is acting experience!What is this magic tongue for? ? ?Why does it sound like a... 404?
Gan Jing was a little bit crazy. This time, he spent 40 points of attention in the trap and got himself a completely useless thing.

He felt this thing with his mind, but there was no response at all, neither as explained before, nor felt a little special.

Have you been fooled?Wasting 40 attention points in vain?

Gan Jing was a little frustrated, but then he thought that there should be no problem with the system, so he studied it carefully for a while... In the end, he still found nothing.

"Gan Jing, what are you doing?" Director Chen Kaige walked over at some point. He looked at Gan Jing who had a blank look on his face, and thought he was confused about the role.

"You can like Cheng Dieyi, but you can't just use Cheng Dieyi's way to play Mei Lanfang. One of them is a virtual character, and the other is a great real artist." Chen Kaige made a point, and returned to the camera later.

Gan Jing felt a little distressed about the focus that had finally been raised, but it was a done deal, and there was no return, so he had tears in his heart and prepared to continue researching this newly acquired [Magic Tongue] when he had time.

How should I play Mei Lanfang?His mind returned to this question. After confirming that the system could not give more help, Gan Jing could only think about the problem based on the current conditions.

Gan Jing is completely familiar with the content of the script, but the writing and acting are two different things.

Walking a little further silently, Gan Jing walked out of the set and walked outside under the blue sky and white clouds.

"Hey, buddy, borrow a cigarette." When he walked to the door, he saw a security guard guarding the door. He couldn't help being kind - after confirming the role, he called Uncle Zhang to tell the situation, and Uncle Zhang was also very generous. Let yourself be busy with things in the capital, and now I don't know what's going on with him.

The security guard kindly handed over a cigarette and a lighter.

Gan Jing ignited it, and took a good puff, seeing the security guard's slightly idle appearance, he suddenly got a bad taste.

He took a deep breath, and slowly let out a meow under the gaze of the security guard.

"Fuck, buddy, what are you doing?" The security guard rubbed his eyes, shocked.

Gan Jing chuckled: "Didn't you see it?"

The security guard looked at the smoke ring that hadn't dissipated in the air, swallowed and spit, and tried to spit out a smoke ring himself, but it didn't form at all.

"They are all blowing smoke rings, why is there such a big difference? Your smoke is the same as mine, why is there such a difference?" The security guard was puzzled and wanted to learn.

Gan Jing was about to speak when a thought suddenly flashed across his mind.

The same smoke has different effects after being processed.

Mei Lanfang and Cheng Dieyi both love Beijing opera, so why did they act differently when asked by RB people to perform?Where are their differences?Why did they choose that way?

For the first time, Gan Jing jumped out of the content of the script and began to think about the fate of the two characters.

Cheng Dieyi is a fictitious character. He chose to sing to RB people at their request. Even when faced with criticism from others, he still confidently stated the reason "he understands opera".

In his heart, understanding opera is even greater than national standpoint.

Mei Lanfang is different. This is a real master who has a long history. He chose a tetanus shot and fell into a coma in the face of RB people, so he refused to perform. He has his own position.

He is a great artist.

Cheng Dieyi in Farewell My Concubine is art, and Mei Wanhua in Mei Lanfang is an artist; the former only lives for art, and if he is not crazy, he will not survive, while the latter has his own bottom line. There is an outstanding representative of ".

Therefore, Cheng Dieyi ended up being martyred for art, and Mei Wanhua eventually became the well-known Mei Lanfang.

The cigarette butt in Gan Jing's hand had already burned his fingers, and the burning sensation brought him back to his senses suddenly, and those thoughts flowed into his heart like a stream of sweet spring, making his heart cooler and cooler.

"I understand! Thank you." Gan Jing threw the cigarette butt away, turned around and walked towards the set.

The security guard was still immersed in the smoke circle meow, and felt inexplicable when he heard the thank you. Looking at Gan Jing who suddenly appeared, spit out the meow, and then left suddenly, he deeply felt that these actors were a little nervous.

Still, is it true that only neurotic actors can be another person on screen?

Such a philosophical question popped up in the mind of the security guard on the set.
