Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

When he set his eyes on Su Huai, the first thing he saw was a self-disciplined, muscular young man.

Without prejudice, the body shape of Asians is different from that of Europeans and Americans. Europeans are obviously stronger than Asians in terms of physique. Although many young people nowadays like to exercise, they need to practice bodybuilding Muscle, Asians have to pay much, much more.

This is why Hollywood didn't like to hire Asians at the beginning. In their view, one is that the faces of Asians are not recognizable, and the other is that Asians are too thin and weak. They like the kind of brutal fights. It's not Kung Fu martial arts that foreigners think is mysterious and mysterious, so the most popular Hollywood blockbuster of the year must be an action movie, and among the most popular actors who aspire to the wealth list, there are at least eight of them, if not ten. It's a muscular man.

Now, with the rise of Eastern film and television culture and the decline of Hollywood, this deep-rooted prejudice has been eliminated a lot, and they are no longer all muscular men. It is basically those masculine and masculine actors who hold up the sky, not those feminine and beautiful young meat.

So he agreed with what Hu Su said just now.

Actors need to know how to manage themselves and self-discipline. If you want to choose an actor, first of all, if you break the body, he will be able to give a high score of 90 points.

If Asians want to develop a body with tendons thicker than their legs, the sense of disobedience is still too serious. A tall person like Su Huai, who looks thin when dressed, and has flesh when he takes off his clothes, is the most ideal.And perhaps because of living in Europe and the United States for a long time, Hu Shili is more accepting of the sharp-edged faces of Europeans and Americans, and thinks that Su Huai's face is also very OK.

As for his acting skills, I have already watched the video of the movie before. Although the details are still a bit rough, the flaws are not hidden. Hu Shili thinks that Su Huai is a rough diamond.

It is precisely because it has not been polished that it can emit such pure brilliance, and it also makes people look forward to its dazzling appearance after being polished.

To be honest, Hu Shili did have the intention of recruiting Su Huai, but that was only for a moment when he watched the movie. The so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children, he would not give such a good seed from Hu Su's side. Poached away, and as far as he is concerned, he is also worried that if Su Huai is given such a chance to reach the sky in one step, it will affect his growth.

If it is used well, it can certainly bring him a lot of fame and wealth, but if it is not used well, it may also lead him to ruin.

Even if it is the foundation of a diamond, if it is not professionally and complicatedly cut by the gem craftsman, the diamond is just a slightly rare stone.

So he came here today to meet Su Huai, but he didn't actually want to ask him to act or something.

It's to see if this person who performed so well in the play is real. Come again, he can provide some opinions and references for Su Huai. After all, he has been looking forward to Hu Su's future. Those who can inherit his mantle, since there is such a plastic talent by Hu Su's side, they must not be let go.

Chapter 299 Lack of Style

While Hu Shili was observing Su Huai, Su Huai was naturally also trying to figure out the other party's mind.

Of course, when it comes to Su Huai, he must be more careful.

He has seen so many deeds of the other party, and knows that this is a powerful person, and therefore, he will be cautious in his actions. Here, it would be better to continue to greet him.

And just when Su Huai was thinking about his words and wanted to inquire about the other party's background, Hu Shili suddenly said: "Su Huai, you are A Su's friend, so I will call you Xiao Su. I am looking for you this time." There is no other purpose in coming here, just to chat and get close. Our husband and wife have been abroad, and we are usually busy with work, so we can’t be with him, so this opportunity is rare, so I asked him to come to you to get acquainted, so that he can get to know him in normal times. What's life like, what kind of friends did you make?"

After hearing this, Su Huai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But he quickly adjusted. That’s right. After all, before Hu Shili was a director, he was still a father. As a father, it is reasonable to care about his son’s life. things.

He has relied on his own hard work to this day, and it has gradually achieved results. To be honest, there is no need to rely on Hu Su's relationship to go through such a back door, it is more like a denial of his past persistence.

Thinking of this, Su Huai walked out.

But this also made him have new troubles, that is, if he came to make a living, Hu Su's messy school life, Su Huai, as a friend, should he help him hide it, or help him make a fool of himself?

But the person on the opposite side is a big director, acting under him is a different matter, in case he thinks that he has cheated him, or simply led Hu Su down by himself, and talks to the circle or something, Su Huai is really The pressure is huge.

No, Hu Su has already winked at this meeting.

He shook his head slightly and hinted with the corner of his eyes that he couldn't say anything.

Speaking of which, although Hu Shili and his wife accompanied Hu Su to Qiunan, if they went to the house he rented and saw his large collection of OTAKU, they would not be so leisurely.Then the fundamental reason is that Hu Su did not expose——

Could it be that……

Su Huai thought of a possibility!

This guy simply foresaw this day, so he found a rental house in advance to move out of the school.

But today, Hu Su most likely took his parents to the dormitory in his school, because the dormitory in the school is different from the rooms outside, and the cost is also included in the tuition fee, so this guy came from a Did you have such a plan in the beginning?

Just when Su Huai started to struggle with his friend's family affairs, Hu Shili spoke again, this time he took off his sunglasses and put on a kind smile: "Don't be nervous, I know that I have some achievements in movies, which may make people chat I was a bit restrained at the time, but today I am not a director, but your friend's father, I will chat with you for a while, to be honest, I also want to know the thoughts of some young people today, so as to prove that I am not outdated."

"Okay, Director Hu... sir."

"Call me Uncle." Hu Shili took the coffee brought by the waiter, took a sip and said, "How did you meet our family, Ah Su? Was it at school?"

it is good!

The first question that comes up is to send a proposition.

No, Uncle, I was hired by your son to take over as a substitute so that he would have time to skip class to play games and stay at home to watch his cartoons.

Having said that, Su Huai felt that this conversation should be over.

Fortunately, Hu Su has always had a lot of tricky ideas, and he responded quickly: "Well, Ah Huai and I met in school. But he is not an official student of the temporary school. When we first met, he came to take classes. I was in the middle of it." I helped a little, and I became acquainted and became friends after going back and forth."

Although Hu Su is now a dead fat house who likes two-dimensional, but since he was a child, he went to a noble school abroad, which is the kind of private school with extremely expensive fees, and his brain is very easy to use.

When he said this, he was not completely lying, but he just concealed the parts that his parents could not know, and at the same time, paved the way for Su Huai.

This time, Su Huai no longer hesitated, and nodded in response.

Hu Shili also considered it this time, because he had learned about Su Huai's situation for the time being, and knew that the other party's situation might not be very good. Of course, he didn't go into too much detail. The deeds of the little coffee are passed down.But what Hu Su said now seems to corroborate these rumors.

"Does Xiao Su want to go to school by herself?"

"Well, because I used to buy books and read them by myself before, I turned over some things many times, and I didn't understand them very well, so I thought about going to Yunhai University to take a class or something. In this regard, Hu Su helped me a lot."

"That's right, young people must know how to make progress!" Hu Shili nodded appreciatively: "It is undeniable that a good background determines a person's lower limit, but we can't change such a thing as background, that is God's decision." Yes, but we can work hard to decide where our upper limit is."

Su Huai nodded immediately upon hearing this.

And because of this experience, Hu Shili became more interested in Su Huai. He took another sip of coffee and continued to ask: "Xiao Su, I heard from our family, A Su, that you are obsessed with acting, aren't you? It takes a lot of time to prepare every time.”

"He's a drama lunatic." Hu Su interjected, "Just for the previous movie, he wrote more than a dozen notebooks, and the number of words is more than all the scripts combined. What do you think?"

Hu Shili looked at Su Huai and asked, "Is this true?"

"Well," Su Huai admitted: "My foundation is relatively weak, so I made notes of all kinds of things that came to mind, and then edited and sorted them out to find the most suitable actor's vision."

Hu Shili agreed: "I can see the effort you put into it."

Su Huai should be happy about a compliment from the great director, but there is a problem that has been bothering him recently. Although there are some clues, it is not something he can solve immediately with his own efforts.

Now might be a good opportunity.

He hesitated a little, but still decided to speak out: "Well, Uncle Hu, I have something to ask..."

"What's the matter, just say something."

Hu Shili put down the coffee cup in his hand, put his hands forward and made a gesture of listening.

I just heard Su Huai say: "That's right, it's the matter I mentioned just now. I have been working hard to build an actor's vision and wrote a lot, but I recently discovered that there are more things I think about. Instead, it’s messy, and I can’t filter out the really useful ones, which are necessary, although I thought about communicating with the director, but the director is also very busy after all, so…”

Hu Shili watched Su Huai trying to think about the language, trying to express his confusion, and then said: "I think I should understand what you mean, are you confused by the actor's vision that you have worked hard to think about so much? But you can’t meet the director’s requirements, so you don’t know what to do?”

"Yes!" Su Huai said excitedly.

"Hmm..." Hu Shili fiddled with his thumb, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Xiao Su, because I don't think you were raised in such a spoiled way, I'll just say it here. Just now you said that you were picking up After getting a script, you will write down everything you think of, which shows that you have worked hard, which is good. But you have to understand that hard work is only the lowest threshold in this industry. Look at those big stars and powerful actors. They will not prepare like you at all, when they can still perform their tricks well, what do you think is the reason?"

Su Huai didn't understand what Hu Shili said.

There will always be people in the world who don't work very hard but always run ahead of you.

In the classroom, Su Huai saw that Haruhi and Yukino had built their vision of actors almost instantly, and now, there is one more such person, Miki.

He swallowed his throat and answered two words bitterly: "Talent."

"Yes, talent is very important in this industry. People who have no talent but only work hard can't go far, like a low-budget movie, or if you meet a director who is particularly hardworking, it's better, you Ask him, he will basically tell you, and some even take the initiative to teach you how to act, but for some directors, this is something the actor should figure out for himself. The main premise for him to use you and let you act is you Knowing these, not a learner who learns and practices, you understand?"

Su Huai nodded again. He also understood his weakness in adaptability, but he couldn't help it.

Obviously he has done a lot of practice, but the improvement is not obvious.

"Fortunately, there are ways in this world other than pure talent." After a whip education, Hu Shili suddenly threw out another candy: "You should have learned the actor's vision in the actor training school." The construction method, but really, it’s very shallow, and if you’re scripted and you can only deal with shallow performances, that’s probably not your goal.”

After a pause, the big director continued.

"So my advice to you is to create a style first."

"style?"

"That's right, style." Hu Shili said: "The big reason why you think so much now is because you haven't formed a fixed performance style. Although it is said that you can play anything with changeable acting skills, that's an actor. The ultimate on the road means that you have a wide range of acting, but from a certain point of view, if you are proficient in everything, the result is that you are sloppy in everything. Regardless of low-level actors, supporting roles, or even extras, those actors are all unique types of actors , in fact, the same is true for the protagonist, the important role. To some extent, the casting should be because the director picked out a certain quality in you, so that you can play a certain role, not because—'Oh, that The guy seems to know everything, let him try this role'. I don't know if other directors think so, but from a director's point of view, at least for me, I have in mind first The impression of this character, and then I clap my hands, isn’t this the same as that one, that’s the only one, so it’s very difficult for me to make any other changes to the character I’ve decided on, unless that person really doesn’t have a schedule and can’t take the film contract, then it’s impossible Change someone without going back and forth."

Hearing what Hu Shili said, a certain tendon that had been stuck in Su Huai's brain seemed to suddenly open.

Chapter 300 Look at the mountain is not a mountain

Su Huai remembered that when he met the director of that small workshop, he also said similar things, saying that he lacked a distinct personality, which was also the origin of Su Huai’s recent conflicts. Now, director Hu Shili’s words are even more pointed at the center, Hit the nail on the head.

personality, style.

These things are things that Su Huai never considered and pursued.

Because of his low acumen, when he tried everything possible to squeeze into the crew to get a role, he didn't even think about whether the role was suitable for him, but whether he could persuade the director to get the role.

For him, the kind of temperament that actors will have from the beginning and become prominent with time, is extremely weak in him.

Su Huai, who realized this, thought of one sentence.

That is, looking at mountains is not mountains, and looking at water is not water.Look at mountains or mountains, look at water or water.

The level of realm is really mysterious.

At the beginning, he didn’t want to be a type of actor who was at the bottom of the performing arts ecology for the rest of his life, so he tried his best to improve himself, observe and study, and tried his best to sharpen his acting skills so that he could adapt to various roles as much as possible. kind of role.But he didn't want to, but now it has become a hurdle that hinders him from moving forward.

And consciously, it seems that he is not the only one who has the same troubles, and Su Huai can't help but think of Arturia again.She is as powerful as she, and she was also troubled by the difficulty of transition before. Maybe she will go up to a higher level, to the level of those ultimate big names who have won the lifetime achievement award after holding a trophy and getting soft hands. Going back to the very beginning, a type of role is performed with great proficiency, engraved in the history of film and the situation in the memory of the audience.

It feels like this is a circle, winding and winding, going round and round.

But Su Huai is still on the way.

Fortunately, he has never been pretentious, and because his desire is lower than anyone else, for him, this is just a set off after a tossing halfway station. Looking at the long road ahead, not only did he not feel disappointed or Timidity, on the other hand, aroused his fighting spirit.

But now, one thing that needs to be understood is how to clarify this goal. After all, it is very important to move in the right direction.

Su Huai thought about it, and felt that it was a rare opportunity to sit down and chat with a director of Hu Shili's level and talk about movies.Therefore, he didn't care about holding back these things, just like a thirsty person in the desert encountering an oasis, he couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Hu, how can I find my own position and style now?" ?”

When Hu Shili picked up the coffee cup and drank it, he seemed to be thinking about it.

And when he put the cup back on the table, he said: "In the end, I'm just a director, and I can't tell you which way is right, because everyone has their own way and needs to explore by themselves. But Also as a director who chooses actors, I have some opinions for your reference."

Su Huai nodded, leaning forward slightly on the edge of the table, listening carefully.

I just heard Hu Shili said: "As I said just now, when the director chooses the roles, he first screens them according to his own impression, because in a sense, the movie is something that is reproduced from the director's head. From the storyboard When it comes to characters and scenes, every frame and every second is the same. In the past, directors not only had to choose their favorite actors, but also searched for scenes that could be used to shoot movies. I don’t know if you know that there used to be people who were looking for scenes. Flying around the world to take photos, and then the director will go to the local area for inspection. It may take several months, or even half a year and a year. On top of that, a huge amount of money is needed to build the scene to achieve the ecological environment that fits the director’s mind. It seems that the alpha particle system currently in use is really convenient."

Using this sentence as an introduction, the topic then returned to Su Huai.

"And as an actor, there are three factors to be selected. The first point has already been mentioned, the characteristics he possesses, including his physical appearance, temperament, acting skills, and popularity recognized by the audience. Such a set of comprehensive Things that are more sexual, followed by his personality and temper - yes, it seems that it has nothing to do with the movie, but the guy who is too rebellious is not pleasing, and there are even conflicts between the actor and the director. Forced, you can imagine the result, as for the last point, it is the price and schedule offered by the actors. And their order is, if necessary, for the first point, the others can make way."

Director Hu Shili raised his eyebrows playfully, turned his wrist and looked at Su Huai and said: "Your appearance and acting skills are not bad, but these are not the focus of today's discussion. The point is that you must know that your style must suit you. Its own characteristics, rather than blindly imitating others. It can be that the actor specializes in the same type of movie, such as a big guy with a bald head and thick arms in an action movie, and those guys who are a bit creepy in a horror movie It can be classified as such. It can also be about temperament. For example, this actor is sunny and cheerful, and he is basically a decent character, while some people who are somewhat stern or flamboyant in their bones tend to be villains. Of course, I That doesn't mean they can't play the opposite role, it's just that these characteristics make them more likely to be biased toward that position."
