At the venue, Chen Xu shuttled among the crowd and greeted guests from time to time, appearing to be at ease.
While he was busy, Chen Xu suddenly saw his brother coming, playing on the grass with Xu Ziyan. Since the last time they talked, Chen Xu had been working hard to practice his language for the camera.
After several days, he has slowly adapted to the camera, but he is still a little dissatisfied with his performance.
He didn't want to waste his brother's hard work. This time, he was serious!
You must impress me!
Therefore, he didn't make a single phone call during this period, just to make a splash.
But an amateur is an amateur. Even though Chen Xu adapted quickly, he still accumulated a lot of doubts in the past few days.
Today I just take this opportunity to ask my brother for advice. Although my brother is behind the scenes, he has been seen a lot on TV stations. No matter what, he is much better than him.
Thinking of this, Chen Xu took the initiative to apologize to the middle-aged woman next to him and made an excuse at random.
"Sister Chen, please be busy first. Someone is looking for me over there. I'll come right away."
"go Go."
Sister Chen is an important customer of the company. She has cooperated with the company for several years. She is cheerful and cheerful. Now it is not only a business partnership, but also a good relationship between her and Gu Jia.
Otherwise, Gu Jia would not invite her to his birthday party today.
After looking through the entire venue several times, there were only a few people who were business partners, and most of the rest were relatives and friends. Strictly speaking, this banquet was considered a family banquet, and there were not many business friends.
"Brother!" Chen Xu walked to the grass, flopped down on the grass, and asked casually: "Where is your sister-in-law? Why didn't you see her?"
Li Jie turned around and was about to point his finger when he suddenly found that Zhong Xiaoqin had disappeared from the venue, along with the three young women.
Just now, he was still swearing to take Xu Ziyan with him at the door. As soon as he saw the little sisters, he turned around and completely forgot about it.
What a big heart.
"I guess I went to catch up with my high school classmates."
"oh."
Chen Xu nodded slightly and didn't care. Since his brother and sister-in-law divorced, his temperament has changed greatly. He is completely different from before, like a boring gourd, always keeping things in his heart silently.
In the past, Chen Xu would have been worried about his brother's marriage, but now he is not worried at all.
Chen Xu came here specially to ask for advice.
"Brother, there is something I want to ask."
Li Jie said calmly: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"It's like this. I've been practicing according to the script you gave me after get off work these days, but every time I finish practicing, I always feel something is wrong. It's just... how to put it... I always feel that something is missing. You asked me Tell me, I can’t tell you right now.”
"Do you have the movie on your phone?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll show it to you right now."
Chen Xu took out his mobile phone, made a few dials, clicked the play button, and presented the video in front of Li Jie.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiuyang,......"
…………
"Speaking of agents, what do you think of? Spies? Special agents? Undercover agents?"
…………
"The building in front of everyone is Hong Gong Temple. Everyone knows that our Xia Kingdom has various addresses named after people. When it comes to the surname Hong, who will come to mind first? Hong Xiguan? Hong Xiuquan? Hong Chengchou? Hong Jinbao?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry, someone broke in!"
…………
When the video reached this section, Li Jie directly pressed the pause button.
Because after seeing this, he had already discovered the problem, and there was no need to continue watching the subsequent films.
If we look at it by the standards of a newcomer, Chen Xu's performance is not bad, and there is something to be said for it. When facing the camera, he is very relaxed and behaves gracefully and without any pretense.
Be smart when you should be smart, be serious when you should be serious, and your ability to control emotions is above the acceptable level.
From the analysis of appearance, language, body movements and emotions, Chen Xu has no major problems with the first three points. The real problem is with the last point.
Perhaps another word would be more appropriate to describe it, a sense of immersion. The whole video lacks a sense of immersion.
Chen Xu lacked understanding of that period of history. All the information he knew came from the manuscripts written by Li Jie, and perhaps also the information he looked up on the Internet.
Although we are in the information age now, and all kinds of information are available on the Internet, the explosion of information is also accompanied by information pollution. All kinds of information are used overwhelmingly, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad.
If a person lacks the ability to distinguish, such as not having a special understanding of something, then he can easily get lost in the massive flow of information. People whose cognition and outlook are distorted can be seen everywhere.
Chen Xu obviously didn't know enough about that period of history, and his cognition was too one-sided and unable to fully bring in the emotions, so that the whole video seemed not vivid enough and always felt a little inconsistent.
Now that the crux has been discovered, it is not difficult to solve the problem.
Li Jie took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, compiled a long list of books and sent them.
"Check the prestige, go back to the library to apply for a card, borrow all these books at home, and read more when you have time. Some libraries don't have them. You can go shopping on the used book website. How much did you spend? Ask me for reimbursement when the time comes.
"When you finish reading these books and have some understanding of that past event, most of the problems will be solved."
When Chen Xu heard the words 'library' and 'reading', half of his face instantly fell. When he was in school, he dozed off as soon as he saw a book.
If not, he would not have passed the college entrance examination like that.
Of course Li Jie knew who Chen Xu was, so the books he recommended to him were not reference books at all. They were all kinds of memoirs, biographies, and the like. They were no different.
Although Chen Xu doesn't like reading, it's not that he doesn't like reading any books. He doesn't even bother to read serious books, but he reads other miscellaneous books very enthusiastically.
Of course, when Jin Yong was popular, this kid was so crazy that he stayed up all night reading, not for a whole day, but for half a month in a row. If his body hadn't finally been unable to bear it, he would have been able to stay up all night for a month.
"Huh?"
The next moment, Chen Xu, who originally had a sad face, immediately changed his expression after seeing the book list, and his brows relaxed a lot. Then when he heard the word 'reimbursement', he felt even more comfortable and said with a smile.
"Brother, you better understand me. When I become rich in the future, I will definitely 'honor' you and my sister-in-law."
Li Jie waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Just take care of yourself. As long as you study hard and make progress, you will be the best reward for me and my mother!"
In fact, this step was already within Li Jie's expectation. The reason why he didn't say it in advance was so that Chen Xu could discover it on his own.
What you learn on paper is ultimately shallow, but you must know that you have to practice it. The truth must be understood by yourself, and only then can it be profound and thorough.
