Let’s do this in the morning..."

This was Xu Xin's first words after entering the house.

Then the second sentence was said to Yang Mi:

"You go and help Uncle Yang. I always keep Uncle Yang busy, and I can't stop eating this meal."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi understood that he wanted to talk alone.

So the question is, why bother yourself?

This thought accompanied the movement of her eyes, and she understood it in less than a second.

It should be to protect Liu Zhishi's self-esteem.

We are both actors, no matter how good our relationship is, and being singled out in the same director's script must have made us feel a little uncomfortable.

This is not a matter of being petty, but a matter of face.

So he smiled and nodded:

"Then you talk."

After saying that, he stood up and winked at Wu Qiqi and Sun Ting who were sitting on the sofa.

Zhang Jiao didn't know where she went.

The two understood, got up and walked out.

Liu Zhishi looked at Xu Xin nervously...

She didn't even know where her nervousness came from.

Why is it suddenly like a teacher giving lessons to students?

For no reason, a trace of absurdity and a somewhat disgusting feeling flashed through her heart.

Even if you are a friend...even if you are a director, you can't do it so suddenly, right?

Isn’t that a bit disrespectful?

No matter how bad my acting skills are or whatever, do you really respect me like this?

There were some changes in her eyes, but she immediately heard a sentence:

"Do me a favor."

"....?"

Liu Zhishi was stunned subconsciously.

Not in class?

Not education?

To help?

She raised her head subconsciously and saw Xu Xin already holding the script on the sofa and looking at her with a consulting tone.

"What's the deal?"

She was a little confused.

Xu Xin smiled awkwardly:

"Just help me design Li Ningyu's look."

"....?"

Liu Zhishi was a little confused.

Xu Xin pointed next to her:

"I'm sitting here."

After politely asking, Xu Xin sat directly next to her without waiting for her answer.

Subconsciously, Liu Zhishi felt a little hot on her face.

No reason.

baffling.

But I heard Xu Xin say:

"In fact, I have always been very inaccurate about the appearance of the character Li Ningyu. I only know that she should be a kind of sister, but I don't have a particularly clear concept in my mind. So you can actually resonate with the character of Li Ningyu. , I just want to hear your opinion on how to design the artistic image of this character... Did you just say that she smokes?"

Liu Zhishi nodded subconsciously:

"Yes, I think you should smoke."

"...Can you tell me how you understand?"

"Okay...it's actually quite simple. This drama is based on a prototype, right?"

"Well, "The Wind" was written by the Mai family."

"Does Li Ningyu smoke inside?"

"I don't smoke. Even when it comes to information, everyone conveys it in a very primitive way by taking out the tobacco from the cigarette and stuffing it with a note. At least in the early stages. And... although here... The script uses Morse code to transmit messages, but the core characters Gu Xiaomeng and Wu Zhiguo need this method, but Li Ningyu does not need it. Why do you think Li Ningyu smokes?"

"Because... it feels like."

Liu Zhishi adjusted her glasses and said:

"At that time... wasn't it very popular to smoke? It was the same for both men and women. Just like... a rich lady wearing a cheongsam, holding a cigarette... This is my impression of many women in the Republic of China. .”

"... Zhang Ailing like that?"

"Do you also watch Zhang Ailing?"

Liu Zhishi was a little surprised when he heard Xu Xin's words.

At this time, the sound of the toilet flushing came from the guest bathroom next to the living room.

Then, Zhang Jiao opened the door and walked out.

After seeing the two people in the living room, she was stunned for a moment.

Instinctively looking for Sister Mimi and the others.

But I found that no one was there...

She thought about it for a moment...and sat aside obediently.

Maybe she was a little acclimated to the sudden return to the north after staying in the south for a long time.

My stomach feels uncomfortable.

Anyone who has ever felt this way knows that it is really not appropriate to move at this time.

So I sat quietly.

Xu Xin ignored it and just smiled and said:

"You have to read more books to realize how big the world is... So, you based this character on Zhang Ailing?"

Liu Zhishi nodded:

"That's pretty much what it means. And... her boyfriend, the drama actor Liu Linzong, also disappeared. The scene in the bar showed that she was very melancholy, drinking alone. So... cigarettes , Mengjiu, etc. can all express a character’s inner image from the side, right?”

"Um....."

Xu Xin suddenly felt a little "amazed", looking very emotional and very surprised, and said:

"People say that experiential actors are geniuses, and I finally saw it today. Smoking... melancholy... boring to drink... Well, that makes sense. It's really amazing..."

Say something.

Liu Zhishi's face immediately heated up.

It felt like being praised by the teacher.

The indescribable feeling immediately made her forget her previous thought that the other party was disrespectful, and a desire to express her feelings arose in her heart: "Keep asking, don't stop."

Xu Xin started to draw on the back of the script with a pencil...

But since there was nothing hard to cushion him, he raised his head and looked around, and said to Zhang Jiao:

"Get me a cardboard."

"OK."

Zhang Jiao nodded immediately and quickly brought over a folder.

Xu Xin put it under the script, sketched the outline of a person's head with a few strokes, and then suddenly asked:

"Was she standing or sitting?"

"...Sit down."

After answering, there was no need for Xu Xin to continue asking, so she added:

"It's a very elegant sitting posture. But there is also a bit of indifference in the elegance... It's like we are chatting, and there is a person sitting over there who listens with one ear and listens to the other. This feeling!"

"Well......"

Xu Xin thought for a moment and roughly understood what she meant. With a rustling pencil drawing, he drew a vague image of a woman sitting on an ordinary four-legged stool.

It's line drawing.

Not subtle.

But he is cultivating little by little.

Just like drawing a sketch.

After drawing a rough outline, he said:

"smokes?"

"Yes, smoking. I am smoking while others are chatting."

"good."

There was another quiet time of about seven or eight minutes, and a line drawing wearing a skirt, sitting on a chair, with a cigarette in his hand appeared in Liu Zhishi's eyes.

No brain yet.

But honestly speaking, it tastes right.

She looked at it and nodded:

"That's probably what it feels like. Cheongsam, smoking, and the rest is just a look of indifference... No, it should be indifferent."

She said, Xu Xin responded and started painting bit by bit.

His painting is pure talent.

Without any systematic training, I have a very natural instinctive reaction to how those lines are transformed into portraits and shapes.

As the old man puts it, this is inherited from his mother.

And when this kind of inheritance and talent transformation is on this page today, it is just a score of more than 20 points.

A brief sketch completed in a few minutes.

The sketch looks really rough.

But... both Zhang Jiao and Liu Zhishi could see that the woman holding a cigarette in her arm, legs together, and wearing a "skirt" was Liu Zhishi.

There's no way, it's too obvious.

It only takes one look to tell.

Even though it is not a portrait but a sketch of the overall outline, the facial features of the head are those of Liu Zhishi himself.

And, the most horrifying thing was that from beginning to end, Xu Xin only looked up at her.

Or the side.

Therefore, Liu Zhishi, who was sitting on the chair, also looked sideways.

Holding a cigarette, he looked calm.

I don't really see "indifference" as such.

There is no way, the time is too short, it will definitely be fine if I can practice this painting for a while, but I can't do it so vividly at the moment.

But it's so...

When Xu Xin handed the painting to her and asked, "Is that what it means?" Liu Zhishi still felt a little strange in her heart.

It's not exactly a fusion, but now that she's holding the painting, the cognitive image in her mind is indeed clearer.

So, she nodded:

"Yes, that's probably the look, but the cheongsam... is dark in color. It needs to be more dignified."

"Well, I'll get some color on you."

He took it back and began to outline the "skirt" with a pencil.

Then he suddenly said:

"sharp."

".....What?"

"I told you, you are quite powerful."

Xu Xin said without raising his head.

"Well....."

Liu Zhishi was a little confused.

Then listen to him continue:

"So, the advantage of the experiential school is actually here. You can quickly dig into the character's heart. It feels like making a personal leather mask, like in martial arts. Once you put it on your face, you become a completely different person. . Unlike the method school, which requires observation, thinking, and a long period of preparation before you can grasp all the details of the character. You are amazing, really~"

Liu Zhishi's face started to heat up again.

I feel a little embarrassed to praise him.

But at this moment, Xu Xin suddenly said while sketching the draft:

"But...experience actors also have a hard time."

"....?"

"Although directors like to use actors who can completely immerse themselves in their characters without distinguishing between them. But people in this genre also have a lot of disadvantages. You should know that, right?"

"For example...for example?"

At this moment, Liu Zhishi lost all her previous thoughts and instead subconsciously followed the conversational rhythm of the handsome guy in front of her and asked a question.

"It's difficult to act."

Xu Xin said calmly:

"Actually, the experiential school is more suitable for people who have no foundation than the method school. Take me for example. If I am a person who has no foundation and has never been exposed to acting before, and suddenly one day I am arrested and asked to act. I don't know how. , what should I do? I can only simulate the character I want to play in my mind, experience him and feel him. Of course, this experience is purely a novice experience. It can be said that it is eager for success or it can be said that it is desperate. Because we They don’t know any orthodox performance theory, so they can only rely on this kind of psychological suggestion similar to that of Ye Luzi to complete the performance.”

"..."

Not to mention Liu Zhishi, even Zhang Jiao could tell that there was something wrong in Director Xu's words.

"Compared to the methods, it's easier to get started in this industry. As long as you can immerse yourself in it, you can provide actors with a very correct idea. According to this idea...or you are the role you play, and you perform your role. , then you can at least get a passing score. But it will be difficult to go up.

If the mountain gate of the method school is opened on the mountain, and to reach this door, one needs to go on a long and rugged mountain road, then the experience school is more like the mountain door is opened at the foot of the mountain. It is the only way for beginners to get started. Quite easy. But the difficulty is how to go up after entering the door. "

"Then...how should we go?"

Liu Zhishi, whose curiosity was completely aroused by this seductive topic and who didn't feel preachy, asked subconsciously.

But Xu Xin shook his head:

"It depends on the individual...because the essence of this industry is that the more you act, the more difficult it is to perform. Gradually, you can't tell whether you are in real life or in the script. Some people Choose to travel, and some people choose to live in seclusion... Anyway, they just want to calm down their nerves, jump out of the characters and return to themselves. This is why many experienced people like to study psychology. . But I think the upper limit of the experience school is very high."

His tone was full of "envy".

"People like Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep...are so awesome. They act in whatever role they play...But I was particularly curious from the beginning, what do these people rely on?" How do you jump out of the character? Hey, have you read a comic called "Big Sword"..."

"I've seen it before, smiling Dinisha..."

"Yes, that's it. Don't you think the Experience Sect looks very similar to these great swords?"

"..."

Liu Zhishi watched him coloring the cheongsam bit by bit and replied thoughtfully:

"The characters are demon flesh and blood?"

"That's right."

Xu Xin responded:

"Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is true that the difficulty of experiencing the drama is almost an unsolvable problem. This has a lot to do with the individual's psychological quality, knowledge accumulation, and rich experience. If you use it well, then you will It's Delisa who is so strong and has an explosive smile. But if you don't use it well, the demon flesh and blood will swallow you up completely... You are what... that Banshee Queen, what's your name? It used to be a big sword, but later it became a big monster..."

"Well....."

Liu Zhishi thought for a while and shook his head:

"I forgot. I guess it's called Elise or something? She has a particularly ugly servant..."

"Yes, yes, that's it. The so-called lunatic who is swallowed up by the characters, isn't this kind of person. So I think that maybe the experience sect is the end of acting. But before reaching the end, nine percent People who are nineteen are going crazy...hahaha~"

It seemed like he was joking.

Regardless of whether others laughed or not, Xu Xin himself laughed out loud first.

At this moment, Zhang Jiao suddenly asked:

"Then... what should I do?"

Xu Xin was stunned and turned to look at her.

There was a smile of approval in his eyes.

Well, I'll let you become a disciple of Brother Qian'er in a moment.

I am worried that no one will pick up my words if they fall on the floor.

The great disciple of Yu Sect!

Thinking about it, he seemed a little puzzled and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"It's just...the kind of drama you mentioned, director Xu, and the separation from the characters."

"I don't know either."

Xu Xin shook his head again:

"I'm not a professional actor, I'm a director. I wish my crew were all such experiential lunatics... They only need to interpret the characters well in my plays. As for the end of filming, The contract is over. Do I still have to worry about their private lives? Is it possible to leave cleanly or not? You can't control it, right? They can only rely on themselves...

"Well....."

Faced with such "irresponsible" words, Zhang Jiao didn't know what to say.

But Xu Xin immediately said:

"But in the end...it's always right to fill your heart with things that can arm your soul...such as knowledge, such as books, such as a certain motto...who knows, It depends on you. Didn’t netizens say, what... only pigs are the happiest. They sleep, eat, sleep, and are happy until they are slaughtered."

"Another example is Fantasy Westward Journey."

Yang Mi walked in at some point.

And he seemed to have heard the chat, and said to himself:

"You can't catch a top-notch baby and just waste resources

Smash it all on the pet, let the pet be the father, right? The pet is a bull, and the equipment, energy, blood, roots and bones are all messed up and are very rubbish. It is wrong to add some points. It is useless to play a lion and camel and be killed by the Tang Dynasty's sweeping army..."

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment.

But immediately a smile appeared on his face:

"Didn't you say you won't leave the village until you kill 100 million turtles? What are you doing? Are you planning to recharge your card?"

"No rush! I will never leave the village until I catch a sea caterpillar with 1.275 qualifications!"

"...How dare you think about it."

"What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?"

"Yes, yes, you are right..."

The two began to discuss a game that neither Zhang Jiao nor Liu Zhishi understood.

It also represents the end of this conversation.

Then, Xu Xin handed the line draft to Yang Mi:

"How is Li Ningyu's image?"

Yang Mi lowered her head and glanced twice: "It looks good! I like it!"

"Ha~"

Xu Xin chuckled lightly, winked at his fiancée, and walked out of the room.

His mission was over.

And looking at his leaving back, Liu Zhishi was thoughtful...

Also in a daze was Zhang Jiao.

Again.

She couldn't understand.

But he was greatly shocked.

After being shocked, another firewood was filled into the fire of desire in my heart.

...

The happiest person about Yu Xuan's arrival is not Xu Xin.

But Yang Mi.

Especially when she heard that she was going to read the script with Teacher Yu in the afternoon... her mind was already filled with the scene of herself wearing a big coat and going on stage, cupping her fists and handing over her hands to "report the name of the dish".

Don't be happy if you don't want it.

There was a feast of cattle and sheep at noon, and everyone at the table had a great time eating.

But I didn’t drink.

Although he was on the phone, Yu Xuan still smiled and "begged" for a drink.

But actually after coming over, looking at the complex composition of today's meal, he no longer had the intention to drink.

One is the younger brother's fiancée.

My fiancée’s parents were there too.

And then there are the young people...

There is also a famous pianist.

There are also a lot of lesbians.

Then this meal is not suitable for drinking.

However, Yu Xuan mastered the singing of "The Empty City Strategy" of this Leting shadow puppet show.

"My late Emperor, I'm going down to Nanyang, and I'll invite you three times~~Hmm~"

"Lian~Soochow~Destroy Cao Wei~Three points~~~~~"

A section of "Empty City Strategy" was filled with joy.

It can be regarded as helping Xu Xin fill in another professional "loophole" in "The Wind".

This section of "The Empty City Strategy" is the internal communication code of underground workers. In the script, Morse code is transmitted through the changes of long and short tones in different rhythms to complete the intelligence communication work.

Very important.

This is also a key point where Gu Xiaomeng and Wu Zhiguo know that the other is their "comrade" and trust each other 100% unconditionally.

Don't dare to be careless.

After finishing the meal, Xu Xin gave the script to Yu Xuan.

He could tell that Brother Qian'er was very interested in these things.

But at the same time, he was also curious about his "senior"'s line skills.

After all, during the meal between the two of them, they were really experts when it came to lines and crosstalk.

It is also an honor and a side reference to remind Yang Mi.

Therefore, the roles of the reading group were directly adjusted.

Jin Shenghuo changed from Sun Ting to Yu Xuan, and Sun Ting started doing Takeda's work.

Xu Xin was completely freed up.

Before the reading began, he did not forget to explain a line from Liu Zhishi:

"Speak straightforwardly, don't be emotional, keep it simple."

Then, after the script started, Yu Xuan, who had read the script for less than fifteen minutes, opened his mouth...Xu Xin's interest was immediately piqued.

Sitting at the dinner table, Yu Xuan looked at the script and thought for a while, then suddenly picked up the chopsticks.

Throw it on the plate in front of you.

The plates and chopsticks made a crisp clanging sound.

Before this scene, there was a scene where Wang Tianxiang asked a few people to question him alone. He had already talked about it in the morning and did not start it again.

But in fact, it is to let these five people fight each other, stimulate internal conflicts, and disintegrate their internal atmosphere of unity.

Bai Xiaonian took a bite from Jin Shenghuo.

He said that he smuggled arms, collected black money and kept concubines, and that he had relatives who defected to the other side.

Gu Xiaomeng poured dirty water on Wu Zhiguo.

Li Ningyu said that she didn't know anything and looked nonchalant.

Wu Zhiguo satirized Wang Tianxiang...

In the end, these remarks were let out, and everyone knew what the other party said in the afternoon.

So, during dinner in the evening, the atmosphere inside began to change.

The first to intensify the conflict was Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian.

After Yu Xuan dropped his chopsticks, he looked at the script and said to himself:

"Hey, this monster is just a monster. It's not human at all. You can't become a human even if you practice for thousands of years!"

A strange tone of anger emerged, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Gu Xiaomeng, played by Yang Mi, asked in a curious tone:

"Director Jin, who are you scolding? What's wrong?"

After finishing his words, Yu Xuan paused for a moment.

There was also a very heavy snoring sound during this period.

Like anger, like disgust.

"Grandson Turtle! Master Rabbit! Just don't do anything about human affairs!"

After cursing, he made a sneer from his nose:

"Hmph, what is it..."

Bai Xiaonian, played by Wu Qiqi, then spoke:

"We're eating, what's the fuss about..."

The action plot here is that Bai Xiaonian has already poured wine on Jin Shenghuo's face.

Then Yu Xuan started to curse, and both sides were clamoring for action.

Wu Qiqi's narration is straightforward, but Yu Xuan's words range from "Oh, your uncle" to "See if I don't beat you up"...

Just relying on the lines, he showed three very interesting emotions.

From disgust, to irritation, to a bit harsh and inwardly saying "Watch me if I don't beat you" when someone stops you...

The smell came right away.

Huh?

Xu Xin looked at Yu Xin with interest, with no expression on his face, but his tone was full of emotion...

This taste...

It's too strong.

Jin Shenghuo was really such an image in his heart.

Brother Qianer, this...

sure.

Suddenly, he found a new focus.

But he didn't say anything.

Continue to listen to everyone reading there.

be honest.

The actor named Yang Mi... and the actor named Yu Xuan gave him a big surprise.

A real surprise.

The first is the emotional expression of Yu Xuan (brother Qian'er) through his lines.

great.

To say something less respectful.

Such a smooth talker.

There is no need to perform. As soon as the lines are spoken, you will know the emotions contained in them.

Excellent.

But the bigger surprise was Yang Mi.

Xu Xin originally thought that he would be able to talk for two or three days during the reading.

But... as the plot progresses, everyone's dialogue unfolds little by little.

Gu Xiaomeng's lines, no matter what the situation, are quite mature.

Whether it was being unruly and willful, or when Li Ningyu revealed the "truth" in the end, the calmness and calmness that first suppressed the mood, and then after being slapped by Li Ningyu...

The kind of grievance caused by being misunderstood by a sister who is like a real sister...

And after finally forcing Li Ningyu to report her, after being caught, she became the eldest lady of the Gu family again.

, faced Takeda with a flurry of sarcasm that shook his mind...and so on.

From accidentally stumbling upon the book "The Wind" at the door of a bookstore in Dalian in October last year, to deciding to start filming, to knowing that the heroine is myself... to now reading the script.

Yang Mi perfectly expressed all the emotions of the actor Gu Xiaomeng in her lines.

I once pondered it word for word.

Working hard late at night without water dripping from stone.

In this reading meeting, it was like a group of blooming flowers, appearing in front of everyone.

Xu Xin looked surprised when he heard this.

Full of joy.

Is it qualified?

Too qualified.

Everything he wanted, she had.

Especially the last monologue.

"My dear one."

"I am so merciless to you... because the nation is on the verge of survival, and we can only risk our lives to save it." "

"My body will perish soon, but my soul will be with you."

"The enemy won't understand."

"Old ghost."

"Old gun. 「

"Not a person. "

"It's a spirit."

"A belief."

The monologue ends.

The script ends.

The reading meeting is over.

Putting down the script, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up for the first time, and met a pair of eyes that contained satisfaction, admiration, and for some reason also overflowed with love.

Satisfied with her lines.

Praise her for her extraordinary level.

And love...

Cherish her hard work.

And Yang Mi only smiled with her little white teeth in return.

Clean and pure.
