The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 117 Who Is Yang Zhu?

Imperial Capital, Tenghua Film and Television,
Director Zhang looked at the back of the figure who had just walked out, feeling a little unsure;
"Brother, if you ask Chen Kun to play Lin Pingzhi, it's so-so,"

"But you let an unknown young man play Linghu Chong...is it reliable?"

"You saw it just now, although this young man named Brother Hu looks pretty good, and he behaves very obediently."

"But look at his performance, there is no trace of Linghu Cong's chicness, he is clearly a rascal, okay, and there is a hint of stupidity."

Yang Zhu smiled: "Brother; including the heroine, these young people who haven't left school, do you really expect them to be able to perform the charm of the characters as soon as they come?"

"As long as the basic image and temperament are in line, this kind of blank newcomer is best trained,"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can beat them to death in 2 months at most."

Director Zhang nodded, he admired his little brother in this area.

Remembering something, Director Zhang grinned: "Brother, I submitted your ad script, and it has already passed the primary election. After knowing this news, the faces of those old men are very interesting."

"Hey~! If I can be finally selected and photographed, I will call those old bastards every day, and I will be so angry when I see it!"

Yang Zhu curled his lips: "Brother, don't be too happy, I guess my CF is unlikely to be selected, you should be careful, so as not to be slapped in the face when it happens."

Director Zhang smacked his lips with some regret: "That's right, your script is too... what, I don't think the higher-ups will choose it, it's a pity."

Yang Zhu no longer discussed this topic: "These newcomers will start training one after another from tomorrow. I have limited time here, and it is impossible to focus on it from beginning to end,"

"In this way, you send a directing director by my side to help me share some tasks, so that even if I leave, he can still hold the tone of these actors in the follow-up filming process."

Director Zhang was ecstatic at first, and then a little embarrassed: "Brother, this is your unique skill. Is it appropriate to do this?"

Yang Zhu looked indifferent: "There is nothing suitable or not, and this thing is not very advanced knowledge. Besides, since I have promised you, brother, then I will do my best to make things beautiful."

Zhang Da Doula rubbed his hands together, laughing non-stop.

………………

Three days later,
"Director Yang, this is your tea. The tea in it is Jingmai. The conditions are limited, so I can only brew it for you in a vat."

A spectacled man in his 30s respectfully put a thermos tea mug in front of Yang Zhu, then sat on a small stool next to him, took out a notebook and fountain pen, and was always ready.

Yang Zhu opened it and took a sip, looked at the assigned assistant director named Bao Shuxian beside him with satisfaction, and said nothing, staring at the actors in front of him who were nervously preparing for the first "script reading session" .

Now the daily routine of these actors is etiquette training in the morning, gathering together to read scripts and role explanations by Yang Zhu in the afternoon, and line vocal training in the evening.

After a while, as Yang Zhu knocked on the table, the "Script Reading" officially started.

Brother Hu stood up first, put the script aside first, and said to a middle-aged man: "Brother Li, thank you for your hard work";
Then he said to a female star next to him, "Sister He, I'm sorry to trouble you."

That round-faced and cute actress is the former world gymnastics champion He Meitian hired from TVB. Although she is about 30 years old, she looks no different from a girl of eighteen or nineteen;

I saw her return the salute without pretensions, and then followed Brother Hu to the front;

The three of them pulled up their chairs and sat down, contemplating for a while, and then began to play against each other.

I saw "Tian Boguang" glanced at Brother Hu sideways, and suddenly laughed: "You are not Laudeno, Laudeno is a bad old man, how can you be so young and handsome?"

When He Meitian heard the words, she trembled slightly, first she glanced at Tian Boguang as if she was a little scared, and then timidly looked at Brother Hu on the side, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Brother Hu looked like an alcoholic, first took a sip from the "wine bowl" on the table, with a satisfied look on his face, and then grinned: "Yes, I'm not Laudenau."

"Tian Boguang" patted the table and said excitedly: "Yes, you are Huashan Linghu Chong, and you can be regarded as the number one person in the Jianghu."

Brother Hu smiled complacently: "How dare you, Linghu Chong is your defeated general, so laugh hard!"

Tian Boguang stepped forward with a smile on his face: "We don't know each other until we fight, how about we make friends? Since Brother Linghu has taken a liking to this beautiful little nun, I will leave it to you."

Then there was a trace of pride: "Is it my generation to value sex and despise friends?"

……

This performance lasted a full 4 minutes before stopping.

After the performance, Yang Zhu did not directly express his opinion, but looked at a bunch of other actors and asked, "Did you find any problems after watching this performance?"

For a moment, everyone looked around, but no one spoke; the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, who wants to offend others?
After Yang Zhu saw their reactions, he didn't bother to argue and just called them by name: "Jiang Shuying, you come first."

Jiang Shuying hesitated for a moment, then stood up: "I think Linghu Chong's acting is too exaggerated, he didn't show the chic feeling, instead he looked more like a ruffian."

Yang Zhu nodded: "Well, is there anything else?"

Jiang Shuying thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

Yang Zhu didn't make things difficult for her, and continued to roll the roll: "Lan Yan, tell me."

Lan Yan stood up, looked around nervously, and then said with a hesitant voice, "I, I think the performance styles of the three of them are a bit different, and they feel a bit inconsistent when put together."

Yang Zhu nodded approvingly: "Very good!"

After clicking the names of several actors one after another, and getting a bunch of different answers, Yang Zhu looked at the three people in the field and said:

"Let me sum it up;"

"The three of you have two main problems;"

"First, as Lan Yan said, the performance style is not uniform, or the performance scale is not uniform;"

"Brother Hu's expression is too exaggerated, too much; He Meitian's performance is a little reserved, and Li XX's performance is too stereotyped;"

"You must remember that "The Swordsman" is a novel with a strong sense of tension and conflict. Therefore, the performances of all your actors must be based on the requirements of "release seven points, hold back three points";"

"Each character must stand the test, not only to let people see the highlights of the character in a short period of time, but also so that the audience can feel the character's inner world, which is different."

"Second, you don't understand enough about the roles you play, and the performance has no aura;"

"First of all, Brother Hu, the core of Linghu Chong is [free and easy], not the chic you think,"

"The so-called free and easy is to have a set of universal values ​​and codes of conduct in your heart that are slightly different from the world's etiquette;"

"For things that I think should be done in my heart, I have to do it even if I put my name on it, and I don't want to do things that I think I shouldn't do, and I won't do it even if I am beaten to death;"

"This kind of temperament is not skin deep, and needs to be expressed with a lot of conflicting details and small movements, rather than just a face can be performed, so... restrain your facial expressions, use more micro Facial expressions, more body language."

Seeing that Brother Hu was still confused, Yang Zhu explained:

"Take just now as an example. Facing Tian Boguang's compliment to you just now, your inner line is [this is what I should do, what is there to praise?];"

"So, your corresponding external performance is to show a coping smile on your face, then lean back slightly, make an evasive movement, and show disapproval between your eyebrows and eyes."

"And when Tian Boguang wants to become a brother with you, you need to show an expression of [offended anger] for a moment, with a trace of disdain between the corners of your brows."

"These actions all show the important details of your character [principles]. After a few shots, the audience will find out, oh, it turns out that Linghu Chong is such a principled person, he can be regarded as a real gentleman."

"Having this kind of impression, coupled with your informal and slightly dissolute behavior on weekdays, the audience will have conflicting impressions, and the word [free and easy] will be interpreted by you."

Brother Hu suddenly realized that although he still had no idea how to act, he had a general idea.

And other actors have also gained a lot, and some are self-motivated, thinking about how to play their roles.

After talking about Brother Hu, Yang Zhu said to Li XX: "Your Tian Boguang is the same, he has a set of values ​​and principles that are contrary to the world;"

"Before each performance, first design an inner line for yourself, and then correspond to the performance."

"Remember, forget all the performance routines, and act after you figure it out."

After all, the middle-aged actor surnamed Li has rich experience, so he quickly understood what Yang Zhu meant, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Finally, Yang Zhu said to He Meitian:

"Your performance is generally fine, the main thing is that you lack a sense of commitment,"

"Unlike them, you now act more through small movements,"

"But after all, there is a little agility and truth missing;"

"So I hope you can bring yourself into the character and have more character resonance."

He Meitian thought for a while and agreed seriously.

After Yang Zhu finished giving instructions, he took a sip of tea and said, "Continue!"

........................

It's past four o'clock in the afternoon,
As waves of actors came to the stage, Yang Zhu's temper gradually became hot with successive unsightly performances, and the passive skill of poisonous tongue was triggered,

Almost all the actors were scolded bloody and pale; some important actresses, such as Yang Minna, Lan Yan, Jiang Shuying, etc., even cried while holding the script below, but they did not dare to say a word.

Bao Shuxian has seen the master's temper. At least there are some well-known movie stars in it, and there are even a few senior actors who can be regarded as seniors. But in Yang Zhu's mouth, this group of actors became The mud that can't support the wall is only good for the waste wood that is mixed in the corners.

Hmm... It seems that the master just glanced at me, no, I can't be scolded by him!
So, Bao Shuxian quickly picked up a fountain pen and quickly recorded it in a small notebook...

Just when Yang Zhu Yang Zhu suppressed his anger reluctantly and planned to let the actors continue;
"Bang~!"

The door of the room was pushed open;

"Who is Yang Zhu!?"
