Chapter 198

"You can write novels, write songs, paint, and you can also act?" Zhu Lin was a bit skeptical.

Wei Ming: "I can already write novels, write songs, and paint. If I can act as well, don't you think it's not strange anymore?"

Zhu Lin reminisced, saying it like this seemed a bit reasonable: "Then tell me about it."

So at the Moscow Restaurant, eating a Russian feast, Wei Ming chatted with Zhu Lin about Stanislavski.

"You know this person, right?"

Zhu Lin shook her head ignorantly.

It's not her fault for not being fully prepared; the channels for acquiring knowledge these days are too narrow, and serious scientific and cultural books can't even be printed enough, let alone acting ones.

At this time, people who want to learn acting can only learn and explore by themselves through movies and plays, and then practice expressions in front of the mirror, so she asked Wei Ming to see the movie to learn while watching.

Wei Ming said: "Konstantin Stanislavski is a performance theorist born in Russia in the last century. He has a very famous work on acting called 'An Actor Prepares.' The performance school he advocates is called the experiential school. In addition, the expressive school and the method school have extended from the experiential school..."

"How come you even know this?"

"Don't I have a classmate at the Beijing Film Academy?" Wei Ming prevaricated. Actually, it was a girl from the Film Academy he knew in his previous life, who often released her nature in front of him and didn't treat herself as a person.

Then Wei Ming told her what the experiential school, the expressive school, and the method school are, and gave examples.

"If it's an emotional scene, and the director asks you to show deep love for the male lead, then the experiential school will try to really fall in love with this male lead, liking him from the heart."

"Ah!" Zhu Lin was surprised, "Then what to do after filming?"

"Try hard to walk out of it. Of course, there are those who can't walk out, which is the so-called fake acting becoming real. Maybe the high remarriage rate in our literary and artistic circles has something to do with this." Wei Ming said. In the later entertainment industry, there is no bottom line, and the current literary and artistic circles are much lower than the public's perceived bottom line, but the media channels are narrow, and ordinary people don't know it.

"So the experiential school is very mentally exhausting, and those who act well can really touch people's hearts, but some things can't be experienced, such as killing, such as other illegal things."

Wei Ming then said about the method school: "The method school is, you look at the male lead, thinking in your heart about the man you once liked, and then mobilize the feelings for that man and use them on the male actor. Emotional scenes are like this, happy things, sad things are also like this. The advantage of this is that you can withdraw in time, and the disadvantage is that if your personal experience is not enough, and there are no so many emotional templates for you to use, you will be blind, and it is also easy to be patterned."

Zhu Lin nodded, a bit regretful for not bringing paper and pen. This kid seems to really understand. She hadn't heard of these theories before.

She asked again: "Then what about the expressive school?"

"It is to use tone, expression, body love, and other means to make the audience feel that you like him very much. Relatively speaking, the expressive school and the method school are closer. They emphasize that actors should control the role, master the role, express the role, and transcend the role, while the experiential school wants to become the role."

Zhu Lin: "It feels like the experiential school is more powerful. Isn't becoming the role itself the highest evaluation for an actor?"

Wei Ming: "Unless you plan to play only one role for a lifetime, if you want to create more classic roles, you must prevent yourself from falling too deep into one role."

There are many negative examples in this regard.

After saying these theoretical things, Wei Ming said again: "Actually, as an actor, you don't have to classify yourself into any school. When acting, use whichever is good. They are just tools for actors. The important thing is to lay a solid foundation first. Acting pays attention to four subjects. Do you know which four?"

"Singing, reciting, doing, and fighting?"

"Speaking, learning, teasing, and singing."

Zhu Lin: "Ah? You're kidding, right?"

Wei Ming: "You were the one who started it, singing, reciting, doing, and fighting, you think this is singing opera?"

Under the table, Zhu Lin kicked him lightly with her calf. This time she was wearing leather shoes, and they had a bit of a heel.

Sister Lin was also for feeling better when dancing the tango. He said that wearing high heels is better for dancing the tango, but today we are going to see a movie, so it is estimated that we can't dance.

Wei Ming: "Actually, the singing, reciting, doing, and fighting you mentioned are not much different. It's voice, lines, form, and expression..."

Then he broke it down and talked about it one by one. In the future, when Sister Lin gets into the Beijing Film Academy, she will probably learn these. He can teach her, but the connections at the Beijing Film Academy are also very important. Even if it's just an amateur class, it's still a Beijing Film Academy person.

"How about it, are you convinced?" After talking and eating, Wei Ming wiped his mouth and leaned back.

Zhu Lin: "Convinced, convinced, I'll call you Teacher Wei from now on."

"Since you call me a teacher, then come to my house on Sunday, and I will teach you systematically." Wei Ming extended an invitation. This is sacrificing his time to write novels and make money to cultivate her.

"I don't think it's necessary," Zhu Lin was also afraid of delaying his serious business. "I can sing, and my lines and articulation are not bad, not to mention my form. I used to dance, and I can still do the splits now."

Wei Ming really wanted her to do the splits on the spot.

"As for acting, I think practicing in front of the mirror is enough."

"That won't work. Besides voice, lines, form, and expression, there are seven powers and four senses, and there is also liberating nature. You don't understand these."

"Ah, what are these again?"

Wei Ming looked at the time: "Oh my, it's time to see the movie. Come to my house on Sunday and I'll teach you again. There is a lot of knowledge in this."

Zhu Lin pouted and didn't object. If she goes, she goes. She was mainly thinking about those romance novels.

Because the tickets were for the second show, it was already ten o'clock after the movie.

"Oh my, it's a bit late, but the movie is quite good, and the acting is also good." Zhu Lin said.

"The acting is indeed good, but you have to pay attention that their acting style is actually a bit outdated, not realistic enough. When you go to school, learn seriously from the teacher. It's better to learn less from the acting in the movie."

"Ah, is it very outdated?"

Wei Ming feels that Chinese films can be considered a watershed with Xie Jin's several works in the 1980s. They belong to excellent old films that later generations can also accept, and many excellent films from the same period as him have deep era imprints. They belong to the kind that can be blown to the sky when watching clips on Douyin, but you can't watch the whole film when you really let you watch it.

And the fifth-generation directors after Xie Jin are another look, whether it is audiovisual language or acting style.

"If you have a chance to take you to see movies outside, you will know. Now the acting is still too stiff, and there is a feeling of having to recite quotations at any time."

Zhu Lin laughed out loud, this evaluation is quite fair.

For the next two days, Zhu Lin didn't go to Wei Ming's house. He had other things to be busy with, and it was impossible to bring a big girl home every day to train.

On Friday morning, Wei Ming rode his motorcycle and took Yang Hao to the CPPCC Auditorium.

Today, the 3rd "Hundred Flowers Award" for films, which had been interrupted for seventeen years, will be held here.

Wei Ming and Yang Hao participated as media representatives, could take photos, and had to write articles when they returned.

In addition, Master Liu and others from the school bus team also pulled two large buses of Peking University students to participate as student representatives.

Today, the auditorium was full, except for people in the literary and film circles, there were also lively Young Pioneers, enthusiastic middle school students, college students, national labor models, and other worker and farmer representatives, as well as military representatives who made contributions in the counterattack war, totaling more than 1,500 people.

Oh, there were also about 40 foreign journalists stationed in Beijing. Wei Ming and Yang Hao sat with them.

Listening to Wei Ming communicating with foreigners in English, Yang Hao was extremely envious. He truly deserves to have had a foreign girlfriend!

Yang Hao also pointed to the front left: "Hey, look, Zhang Binggui!"

As the nationally famous labor model "One-Hand Grab," it is normal to be invited over.

This was the first time Wei Ming saw him in person. When he went to the Wang Fujing Department Store before, he wanted to find him for a one-hand grab, but his stall was always full, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.

In addition, Wei Ming also saw Director Wang of the Beijing Er Yingchang, and Director Xu Sangchu of the Shanghai Er Yingchang, whom he had only met once. Their seats were relatively forward.

Behind them were those actors, all familiar faces. I have to have a word with Liu Xiaoqing later. No matter what, she promised to star in "Cow and Cow Two."

At 9:30 in the morning, the awards ceremony officially began, hosted by Lin Bin, editor-in-chief of "Popular Cinema," and presented by Zhou Yang.

As soon as it started, Director Chen Huaiai, father of Kaige, won an award. The Peking Opera film "Iron Bow Fate" he directed won the Best Opera Film Award.

He is considered a top domestic director for shooting this kind of film, so he is very important for shooting the Peking Opera part of "Farewell My Concubine." He is a true expert.

Then it was art films. There were two winning works, one was the animated feature film "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King," and the other was the animated series "Afanti." However, Wang Shuchen was still in Cannes, and the ones receiving the award were the two directors Yan Dingxian and Xu Jingda.

For the later awards, the film "Little Flower" can be said to be the biggest winner, successively winning two technical awards for Best Music and Best Cinematography.

The current Hundred Flowers Award still has many awards. When the Golden Rooster comes out next year, only those main awards will be retained. After all, letting the audience evaluate these technical aspects is inherently biased.

Then Chen Chong, who is the same age as Wei Ming, won Best Actress for "Little Flower."

And Liu Xiaoqing, another female lead in "Little Flower," won Best Supporting Actress for "Look at This Family."

It is estimated that Grandma Qing's mood is not very good. She occupied two seats for the five nominations for Best Actress with "Little Flower" and "Wedding," but this makes it easier to disperse the votes. Alas!

However, Grandma Qing knows how to comfort herself. At least she is better than Li Xiuming. Among the three golden flowers of the Beijing Er Yingchang, she and Zhang Jinling were both nominated for Best Actress, only she got zero.

As for Tang Guoqiang, the male lead of "Little Flower," he is sunbathing in Cannes at this moment.

The final grand prize, Best Feature Film, was won by three films, namely "Little Flower," "Ji Hongchang," and "Tear Stains." Obviously, it is impossible for the votes to be the same. Not being able to choose a first place is very consistent with Chinese philosophy.

In addition, Li Rentang, the male lead of "Tear Stains," also won Best Actor. This person has won all the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao awards in the mainland.

The popularity of "Tear Stains" is a bit lower than the other two, but the director is very famous, named Li Wenhua.

This year, the Beijing Er Yingchang won a complete victory, with two winning films, "Little Flower" and "Tear Stains." Director Wang's expression looking at Director Xu could not hide his pride.

Director Xu Sangchu smiled indifferently. The feng shui turns. This year, the Shanghai Er Yingchang's "Herdsman" can be released, and there is also a "Lushan Love" which is also very special. The outcome of next year's Hundred Flowers is unpredictable.

The awards ceremony was held all at once, and then actors Chen Chong and screenwriter Chen Lide were selected from the winners to speak.

After the awards ceremony, there were various tea party activities, which had to be busy until the evening.

Wei Ming was chatting with Liu Xiaoqing about the experience of shooting martial arts scenes. She was still filming, and knowing she would win the award, she specially rushed back from Sichuan. She will take the train tomorrow morning. She is hard-working enough.

However, after the two chatted for two sentences, Wei Ming was called away by Director Wang.

Liu Xiaoqing was a bit depressed, I wouldn't eat him. She swallowed, but he is really good-looking, stronger than Tang Guoqiang, and the key is that he is a talented person!

Director Wang was reporting the good news to Wei Ming.

"I just spoke with Xia Meng on the phone this morning. She will bring the director over next Monday to talk about the cooperation."

Wei Ming said happily: "Finally here!"

If they don't come again, I want to engage in another co-production project, but I don't know if it's still the original director. The original director Mou Dunfei can also be considered a famous director, but his strength is heavy-taste films, and martial arts is not his main direction, so this film was shot relatively generally.

After finishing the Hundred Flowers Award activities and sending Yang Hao back to his home, it was already past ten o'clock when Wei Ming returned home himself. He had to write the manuscript for today's Hundred Flowers Award while it was hot, "May, flowers are red, willows are green, and flowers are blooming. In this beautiful season, the 3rd..."

Early the next morning, just as Wei Ming was about to go out, the phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?" I really like the feeling of receiving a call!

"It's me."

Wei Ming's expression was happy: "Sister Xue, calling me so early? I'm really a bit flattered."

"I just passed by the post and telecommunications bureau, remembered that your home had a phone installed, so I called to try," Gong Ying said in a low voice.

"Oh oh oh," Wei Ming asked again, "Has your new movie started filming?"

"Not yet, it starts filming next week. Our photographer went to Yanjing to attend the Hundred Flowers Award ceremony."

"Haha, what a coincidence, I was at the Hundred Flowers awards scene all day yesterday."

"You were also invited to participate?" Gong Ying said in surprise.

!

"It can't be called an invitation. I went to work, representing the Peking University school journal, and by the way, I mixed two meals and met several famous actors."

Gong Ying: "Then who did you see?"

"Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong, Zhang Jinling..." Wei Ming reported a string of young actresses' names, which made Gong Ying sour.

"These actresses must be very beautiful."

Wei Ming: "So-so, worse than you. How can the Hundred Flowers be as charming as you."

Gong Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, but she was already used to Wei Ming's direct praise. If it were another man saying this, it would be frivolous.

Then Wei Ming talked about the main winning situation of the Hundred Flowers Award, which had not yet spread.

Hearing that Chen Chong won the Hundred Flowers Best Actress, Gong Ying couldn't help but yearn for it. To have such achievements at only 19 years old is truly powerful, and I don't know if I have any hope before I am 30.

Wei Ming finally told her about the mounting of "Purple Grapes": "I specially went to Liulichang to ask the best mounting master there to do it."

"You, I just painted it for fun, making people laugh." She was so anxious she wanted to stomp her feet.

Wei Ming: "It's not enough to laugh, but Mr. Wu Zuoren said after seeing it that you still have to practice."

"Ah!" Gong Ying almost screamed.

Wei Ming: "But Old Wu said, if you want to improve, you can communicate with his wife. Old Madam Xiao is good at flowers."

Gong Ying's emotions were like a roller coaster. Her eyes were very spirited. Not to mention learning, being able to listen to a few teachings from a master is very beneficial.

"I'll visit the two gentlemen next time I go to your house."

Wei Ming: "Good, I'll let you see the Qi Baishi flower and insect album I bought then. There are 18 in total, all kinds of insects and all kinds of grass."

"Really!"

Gong Ying's interest greatly increased, but it's a pity that she is afraid she won't have a chance to go to Yanjing during the filming of the movie. How long will this movie take to shoot for two or three months?

"Really, let's talk in detail in a letter then." Although the painting hasn't been obtained yet, Gong Ying won't come to Beijing in a short time, he is still very confident.

Today, many media across the country began to report on this restart of the Hundred Flowers Award. As the winner of Best Actress, Chen Chong once again received the attention of the whole country, and for a time, she was glorious and praised all over the sky.

Now there are no Golden Rooster and Huabiao, the Hundred Flowers Award is the highest film award in the mainland, and the Best Actress of the first and second sessions were Zhu Xijuan and Zhang Ruifang, both of whom are in the "22 Great Stars." Chen Chong is the third Hundred Flowers Film Queen, which shows how much she is loved by movie fans across the country at this time.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more painful it will be when hurt.

After Chen Chong got the trophy, she specially went to the Yanjing Hotel to visit the "Herdsman" crew, wanting Xie Dao Jin to praise herself, and also had the thought of making him regret: Humph, let you not choose me to act in "Herdsman."

As the first Best Director and Best Feature Film winner of the Hundred Flowers Award, Xie Dao smiled indifferently and didn't feel that his work needed a newly promoted Hundred Flowers Film Queen to add color.

Xiao Gong acted quite well. As a secondary role, she didn't fight or grab, and successfully completed her functional tasks. If it were Chen Chong's strong personality, she would have to fight for presence with Zhu Shimao.

Chen Chong came this time and wanted Xie Dao to treat herself to a big meal at the Yanjing Hotel, but the result was that she ate outside, and it was very ordinary.

Looking at the foreigners entering and leaving the Yanjing Hotel, enjoying the best treatment, she became more determined to go abroad.

Sunday.

Wei Ming walked familiarly to the intersection of the street where Zhu Lin's dormitory was located to wait for her.

Seeing Zhu Lin changed into a long dress and short heels, Wei Ming couldn't help but brighten up, so beautiful!

At the end of May, summer is coming!

Although you can't see thighs on the street, the fluttering skirt is also very beautiful.

But today we are going to learn to liberate nature, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to wear a skirt.

Wei Ming threw the helmet to Zhu Lin. She got on the car directly and held Wei Ming's waist, but before it was straddling, today it was sitting sideways.

Since Wei Ming bought a motorcycle, Zhu Lin should be the girl who has ridden the most times. The first is Yanzi, Biaozi often borrowed the car to take his girlfriend for a ride.

Arriving at Wei Ming's house, Zhu Lin, who hadn't been here for a few days, suddenly found that the house was a bit different.

First of all, there was a shoe cabinet at the door, a vertical coat rack in the living room, and a large blanket at the coffee table. Stepping on it barefoot must be very comfortable.

Wei Ming said: "I visited several shops yesterday, and I also changed the bed. Do you want to see it?"

"Go away, why would I want to see that."

But the bedroom door was open, and Zhu Lin could see that the new bed was much larger. Sleeping on it must be very comfortable.

Wei Ming said: "After the summer vacation, my sister and the others will probably move in. If I don't buy a bed, where will they live?"

There are also grandma and cousin. If everyone moves in, then I can only get a single bed for Old Wei in the study.

I didn't expect that such a large four-person room would still not be enough. Only by buying a few more sets can it be solved.

And Zhu Lin thought that when his family came during the summer vacation, she was afraid it would not be easy to come here so casually, so there was only more than a month left.

"Come on, Sister Lin," Wei Ming interrupted Zhu Lin's thinking, "Come and help."

He called Zhu Lin to move the coffee table away together and reveal the whole blanket.

"Take off your shoes and sit up."

"What for?"

"Just listen to me, I washed this blanket."

Zhu Lin took off her shoes, revealing nylon socks. Seeing Wei Ming sitting cross-legged, she regretted the decision to wear a skirt today.

"Take off your socks too."

Zhu Lin took off her socks angrily, but she always felt that this kid still wanted to take off her clothes. If he dared to let her take off one more piece, she would leave.

Wei Ming: "An important purpose of liberating nature training is to eliminate people's sense of shame. Don't talk about taking off socks, some acting requires taking off clothes, so you have to take them off."

He really thought so!

Zhu Lin hummed: "Then I'd rather not act."

"You are right to think so. There are plenty of plays. If you don't like it and can't accept it, then don't act. Happiness is the most important thing."

The two sat face to face, Wei Ming chatted with her casually: "Have you heard the news about the Hundred Flowers Award recently?"

"I heard it, I even voted."

"Then who did you vote for Best Actress?"

Zhu Lin laughed: "Chen Chong, she was selected with my credit."

Wei Ming: "I was also at the scene when the Hundred Flowers Award was presented, and I even took a few photos of the scene."

"Ah, then you saw Chen Chong?"

"Saw her."

"She is beautiful in person, right?"

Wei Ming: "So-so, a little girl with nothing to see, much worse than you."

"Stop it."

"Seriously, none of the actresses who attended the awards yesterday are better than you. The Hundred Flowers are beautiful but not as good as you."

Zhu Lin was a bit shy. She lowered her head and changed the subject: "Didn't you say liberating nature, why haven't you started yet?"

Wei Ming: "It has already started. Saying some things that you don't dare to say usually, and even some things that are over the line, is also a way to liberate nature."

Zhu Lin felt that those words just now didn't count for Wei Ming. He usually has this style of speaking.

"Don't worry about me. You are the one who wants to take the Film Academy exam, and you are the one who is training. Now it's your turn. Tell me, what do you want to say to me? Say what is in the deepest part of your heart."

The two sat on the soft and comfortable blanket, the atmosphere was very relaxed, plus Wei Ming's words, it was indeed very tempting. Zhu Lin took a deep breath.

Wei Ming saw her look of gathering courage and thought she was going to say something to tease him. Come on, female hooligan!

The result was that she held it for a long time and said: "Have you done that thing with your foreign ex-girlfriend?"
