Chapter 14 Do Your Homework

He took a long breath, took the script from the side, handed it to Ding Cheng himself, and said: "The filming will start next week, go back and try to figure out the role. Although there are not many scenes, the acting will definitely be brilliant."

Ding Cheng took it with both hands and bowed slightly. This action made Xu Yinghua wake up from a dream.Then I remembered that the young man standing opposite me was just meeting for the first time, and I didn’t know why I...

He laughed loudly and patted Ding Cheng on the shoulder: "We will have a good cooperation in the future, let's go!"

It wasn't until I got on the elevator and touched the thick script in my hand that I remembered to take out my mobile phone and tell Liu Hongyi, who is actually on the phone?
Thinking about calling Wang Tian, ​​he was quickly connected, deliberately sighed, and said in frustration: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang..."

Wang Tian froze, and quickly laughed and said: "It's normal, it's nothing serious at all!"

"How many scenes have you tried?"

"Think about how many production crews even celebrities and big names ran, such as who..."

Ding Cheng listened to the chattering like an old woman on the phone and felt a little moved in his heart. He said helplessly: "Hey, I'm sorry, Brother Wang. The director here made the decision immediately after we met, and now he has even signed the contract, so..."

"You..." Wang Tiancai regained his composure, and cursed over the phone, "You're learning to play suspense now, right?"

Fortunately, there is a mobile phone, otherwise I will definitely get kicked. Ding Cheng laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, there will be ten scenes in total. After two or three days, I will go to seek refuge with you brother. By then, you will have a big fish and meat, and I will have some soup to drink." Just do it."

"Fuck off, film well, don't waste the opportunity." Wang Tian scolded with a smile: "It only takes two or three days for me to join the group here, and I can make a phone call."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, feeling hopeful.He dialed Liu Hongyi again and picked it up quickly.

He said with a grateful tone: "Director Liu, I just signed the contract!"

"Hahaha, good, good!" There was a burst of hearty laughter, Liu Hongyi was obviously in a good mood, and encouraged him: "Just now, Lao Xu contacted me and said that you performed well, and this time I did not introduce the wrong person."

Ding Cheng was stunned and recalled that his phone was busy just now. It was Xu Yinghua?

Liu Hongyi changed his tone, and said seriously: "The drama is bigger than the sky, there are no so-called small roles, only incompetent little actors."

"The role doesn't mean everything. Now that you've accepted the role, go all out and do it well. You still have a few days to prepare carefully. Your explosive power is good and your emotions are full. Do more character analysis and write a good biography!"

After explaining a few key points, he said sincerely: "I have been here before. Although there are many messy things in this industry, for real actors, good acting skills must be passed down by word of mouth. You must believe this."

Ding Cheng nodded vigorously. He might have sneered at it before, but now he has personally experienced it, which fully proves that opportunities are for those who are prepared.

"Work hard, I'll rest here for a while, and I'll call you when there's a new show, hang up!"

It's rare that Liu Hongyi said so much, probably because of Xu Yinghua's positive feedback, not only helping friends to recommend suitable actors, but also receiving a great kindness from himself, which proves from the side that he has a unique vision and a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

Passing by the supermarket, stockpiling some food with large and small bags, I plan to stay at home these few days, and go all out to study the characters thoroughly.When I got home, I took a shower, and in just a few minutes, my whole body was soaked.Get in the best shape, pick up the script, skim through it, and build an initial impression.

There are a total of ten scenes, and the small characters who can't survive two episodes, but the whole growth process surprised Ding Cheng. From an honest taxi driver to a middle-aged widowed single father, after a series of blows, he actually became A cold-blooded killer who avenges his revenge?
In just ten scenes, it can be called ups and downs. Fan Zhikang's life is like a roller coaster, which is embarrassing.

After reading it several times in a row, there is a feeling that the concentration is the essence.Such a role is very challenging. No wonder Xu Yinghua specially requested to audition. It will definitely not be easy to play well, and it will definitely be brilliant.

There are not only male and female protagonists in a movie, but even the annual Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is highly anticipated, which fully proves the importance of supporting roles.

After reading the script, Ding Cheng's last distracting thoughts disappeared in an instant, leaving only the fighting spirit of Xiongxiong. This is the first role of the true meaning of life, a drama life with a complete heart.

Take out the pen and paper, and start to do a biography of the characters. This is one of the good habits developed in school. Regardless of the size of the character, you must do enough homework.

The so-called biography, can you tell us who your protagonist is?Who are they?

It can help you describe the development arc of the character, the journey of life from point A to point Z, so as to build the overall world of the script story.

Masters are best at tapping into the multi-faceted nature of characters, because usually, a person's true state is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

For example, in reality, many extremely vicious criminals are filial sons or good fathers. Real serial killers are usually unremarkable, just unnoticed neighbors.

The same is true for the characters written by the screenwriter. Their behaviors and behaviors are more or less socially disguised. Good actors are also proficient in human nature and can dismantle characters from both appearance and reality.Giving the characters complexity means, by definition, to arrange some contradictory points for the characters, so that they can be completely alive in the entanglement of the audience.

Especially the classic villain, why is Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs" so charming?On the surface, he is a gentle and gentle gentleman, but in fact he is also a bloodthirsty maniac who kills without blinking an eye.

Although Tony in "Scarface" is a crazy murderous drug lord, he showed mercy to his children during an assassination and eventually killed himself.

Ding Cheng repeatedly experienced the script, and carefully understood the heart of this small character Fan Zhikang. Since he was a child, although the screenwriter did not write it, he roughly speculated about his growth experience based on the character's personality...

what does he likeWhat is he hiding?What are his needs?Who or what stands in the way of his fulfillment?
All conflicts not only exist between characters and characters, but also between characters and self, characters and nature, characters and technology, all of which can produce contradictions.

Close your eyes and imagine him as a tributary of a big river. The big river is the protagonist, and the secondary characters are constantly flowing in the life of the protagonist like a tributary. Find out the points that cause changes and think about what changes the trajectory of the character's life. ?

The protagonist played by Russell in "L.A. Confidential" has an impulsive personality and is easily exploited. The death of his father has a huge impact on his character. This background has largely become the core of all the character's motivations.

Only by understanding this point can we truly understand the character's behavior pattern, live according to his thinking, and the audience will have a real sense of substitution.

After analyzing the characters for the first time, there are three full sheets. This is just the first homework.I rubbed my sore fingers and read the script again to find out the development arcs with other opponents. Unfortunately, there were very few opposite roles, most of them were one-man shows, which required higher acting skills.

Completing the first short biography fully proves that the system is awesome. This trial was successful, thanks to the sad training, otherwise it would be impossible to even think about it without the real thing.

Both Liu Hongyi and Xu Yinghua said they were explosive?

If there were no countless times of destruction by the system, how could there be any bullshit explosive power!

Anger and sadness are the most extreme emotions of human beings. Who has not experienced ups and downs, and has never truly faced great joys and sorrows, how can anyone express them in kind?
I believe that even if you are a seasoned veteran, you may finally be able to meet the director's requirements. How long does it take to brew your emotions?
All kinds of situations made Ding Cheng deeply understand the power of the system. It is definitely not a delusion to enter the drama in a second. As long as you train hard and transform all your emotions into the most primitive instinct of your muscles, there is only one result:
Once opened,
bro,

coming!
