Pride and Predilection [Entertainment]

After nearly a month of prop preparation and dance teaching, "Puppet" officially started.

After joining the group, Fu Hanyu finally confirmed a rumor that Wang Hongjin would "transform" when he put on his baseball cap.

Don't look at Director Wang who can always get along with people outside the set. He still looks like a young man in his early forties, and he has no generation gap with the younger generation of actors.But when he put on a baseball cap and sat down in front of the camera, he would be so fierce that his relatives would not recognize him, not to mention his loud curse, and his tongue was very vicious.

Not to mention the little artist, Liang Xiao scolded him no matter what he didn't like.However, Director Wang is always right and wrong, and never takes the emotion of repeated NG to the sidelines, so everyone is not afraid of him at ordinary times.

"The second scene of the three scenes of "The Puppet" is the first time. Action!"

There are several rows of poles in the dance practice room. Men and women are staggered on both sides of the poles, holding the poles with one hand, and connecting with the basic skills according to the coach's password with the other hand.

"One two three four, go, Demi—"

All dancers change their movements at the same time, standard and neat.

"Plie—"

The dance teacher, with her hair tied high, walked slowly through the crowd, her stern eyes swept over the newcomers in the group one by one, and she stepped forward to give pointers from time to time. The deep V behind her revealed her thin and straight back.

At this moment, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open.The dance teacher turned around, only to see the talented choreographer of the dance troupe, who also played the role of the puppet master in the play, walked in.The dance teacher was about to clap his hands and shout to stop, but the choreographer raised his hand to indicate that there is no need to interrupt.

The young dancers were still doing movements with their hands, but they all glanced at the door in unison. Everyone was excited because the chief choreographer came to pick someone.

The dance teacher was a little dissatisfied with everyone's distraction, and pursed his lips: "Don't stop, keep practicing, let's start again from the two—"

Everyone immediately straightened their backs and danced harder.Shy people like Ruian only dared to sneak a glance at the choreographer, but some girls directly winked at the choreographer the moment their arms fell.

The choreographer didn't take this kind of thing, he looked over all the way calmly, and occasionally patted some people on the shoulder to show that you were chosen by me.

Soon, the chief choreographer walked towards Rui'an, and the camera focused on Fu Hanyu's face.

Wang Hongjin looked at the camera, still very satisfied in his heart.Fu Hanyu's appearance is pure and refreshing, like a young dance troupe trainee - this is the Rui'an he has always wanted in his heart.

What surprised Wang Hongjin even more was that Fu Hanyu's facial features unexpectedly suited the big screen.Putting it among all the little fresh meats at the moment, Fu Hanyu's looks are indeed not the most outstanding, but he is unexpectedly good-looking.

Nowadays, many beautiful or handsome traffic, the face cannot be zoomed in for a long time, either it makes people feel too gaudy, or it is a bit petty and easy to get bored.But the not-so-sharp outline between Fu Hanyu's brows is soft and clean, always reminding people of something that won't fade and will last forever.

Rui'an raised his head, and met the choreographer's eyes expectantly.Ruian has been quietly admiring the talented choreographer of this dance troupe in his heart, and at the same time very much hopes that he can choose a good role in the dance drama this time.

Fu Hanyu just looked up at Liang Xiao, but was instantly sucked in by the full emotion in that person's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he couldn't tell whether it was Ruian watching the chief choreographer, or Fu Hanyu was watching Look at Liang Xiao.

——Oops, he couldn't handle Liang Xiao's scene.

At the moment when Fu Hanyu lost his mind slightly, the director called CUT.

"Fu Hanyu, where's the look in your eyes?" Wang Hongjin scolded, "You're so sluggish the whole time, were you also in a daze when you participated in the audition?! Wake up, this is a movie, and there are requirements for facial expressions. It's completely different from those crappy TV shows you used to act in!"

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the words, Bingshanlian's chief choreographer broke his skills in a second.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Wang Hongjin instantly shifted the target of hatred, "Liang Xiao, you also have your own problems. On the contrary, when you first walked down, there were so many dramas in your eyes. M city drama star Graduated from college, right?"

"As the chief choreographer, you should be aloof and unfathomable in front of newcomers. Everyone present is thinking about your expression, but you should not reveal any inner information. Why do you have so much emotion in your eyes? You almost winked and said, 'I've appointed you', huh?"

Fu Hanyu was so yelled at by Director Wang who suddenly "transformed" that he didn't dare to vent his anger, but Liang Xiao just waved his hand nonchalantly to show that he knew.

Wang Hongjin came over again to talk to Fu Hanyu: "Here I want to see the change in your eyes, a change from full of expectation to sudden disappointment. You are a newcomer who wants to get this role wholeheartedly. Now you are watching the choreography slowly. He walked towards you slowly, checked his eyes, and seemed to be the right person, but in the end he didn't choose you. There is no dialogue here, it all depends on your eyes, okay?"

Fu Hanyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Wang Hongjin regained his composure, and said quickly: "The warm-up and dance practice is over. Start from the puppet master to Rui'an, and start over."

The irrelevant personnel quickly dispersed, the camera was in place, and the scene director raised the board: "The second shot of the third scene of "The Puppet". Action!"

Fu Hanyu watched the choreographer walk towards him with an inscrutable expression, raised his head slightly, raised his chest, raised his hand, and fell in a circular arc, looking expectantly at the choreographer's hand that was about to fall on his shoulder.

The choreographer took a look at Rui'an, then passed him blankly.

"CUT! There's progress, but Han Yu still doesn't have enough drama in your eyes, and the contrast between the two emotions is not obvious enough."

So everyone came again.

......

"CUT! Hanyu, you used too much force this time, don't be so exaggerated when comparing the front and rear!" Wang Hongjin poked his head out from behind the camera, and made a "restraint" gesture to Fu Hanyu.

Fu Hanyu said "I'm sorry" a little awkwardly, feeling that whatever he did was wrong.After repeating it so many times, almost all eyes on the field were on him. Fortunately, he has a strong mental quality, and being stared at will not affect his performance.

Finally, at the fifth time, Wang Hongjin didn't stop at this point, and the plot continued.

The choreographer clapped his hands after counting a circle of people, and said slowly: "Traditional ballet has no future, we need to add something new."

All the dancers looked at each other a bit uneasy, and the chief choreographer continued: "The people I selected just now will continue the previous work this season. The rest of the people who have not been selected will gather here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I will choose three men and three dancers." Girls dance to the new drama "Puppet." [Ref1]

The dance practice classroom was in an uproar.The person who was already beaming suddenly lost sight of it, but Rui'an's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"CUT." This time Wang Hongjin passed it with satisfaction.

After shooting like this for a whole day, when Fu Hanyu heard the word "expression" again, he almost didn't know what it meant.Under the encouragement of Wang Hongjin, Fu Hanyu, who once thought that his acting skills were at least passable, suddenly found that he had problems everywhere, and he had already gained a lot in one day.

In the evening, several "puppet" actors sat around a table to eat the crew's boxed lunch. Yu Shufan patted Fu Hanyu on the shoulder kindly: "Are you okay?" , It would be uncomfortable to change anyone.

"It's okay." Fu Hanyu smiled gently, "It's better for me if Director Wang is strict."

"It's good if you think so." Yu Shufan gave him an encouraging look, "After all, it's the first time making a movie, and it's different from a TV series. Everyone comes here like this."

Qin Zhou uttered intentionally or unintentionally at the side: "Hey, if it wasn't for repeated NGs so many times, I would definitely be able to shoot a few more scenes today. If it was like this every day, I think the schedule will probably be postponed. But Director Wang still Don't let me play tricks."

Fu Hanyu just put a piece of potato and beef into his mouth, and choked for a moment, thinking that it might be a piece of vinegary potato.Although the few of them were more or less dissed by Director Wang today, Qin Zhou clearly said this while looking at Fu Hanyu, with a smile on his face.

"What's the rush, Big Red, you just have a lot of work on hand!" Yu Shufan rolled his eyes, "Director Wang is an artist, not a contractor who is in a hurry to rush to work!"

Not far away, the boss group also gathered around a table, eating the same boxed lunch.

"Old Wang, what do you think of people?" The assistant director ordered Fu Hanyu who was not far away with his chopsticks after finishing the dishes.Most of the actors they worked with in the past were powerful old actors. This is the first time that an important role has been handed over to a newcomer.

Don't look at Wang Hongjin who sprayed Fu Hanyu into nothing during the day, but behind the scenes he had a high opinion of people: "Photogenic, spiritual, and malleable."

"Actually, I think this acting skill is really good among newcomers. What's more, Hanyu has a good temper." The assistant director ordered Wang Hongjin with his chopsticks after finishing the dishes, "You don't know, when you encounter that kind of facial paralysis For a little idol who plays big names, you really want to tear up the contract and replace him."

Liang Xiao was very happy listening to it, and when he was in a good mood, he generously gave up the last piece of beef to Wang Hongjin: "Brother chose someone for you, so that's okay."

In the evening, Fu Hanyu practiced the dance again by himself, and sat down in the dance practice room after the end, thinking about the script for the next day.

He was afraid that he would come to NG so many times tomorrow, so he watched it very carefully, so that a person suddenly appeared beside him, and Fu Hanyu almost didn't notice it.

Liang Xiao squatted beside the person: "Hey, why are you hiding here and crying?"

"Why are you crying?" Fu Hanyu gave him a cold look, "Crying for your funeral?"

In fact, he was a little surprised that Liang Xiao would take the initiative to find him. After all, in front of outsiders these days, he really treated him like a passerby.

Liang Xiao didn't respond.He glanced at the script in Fu Hanyu's hand, it was densely packed with words, the black ones were the script itself, the green ones were Director Wang's summary of the play, and the red letters were some of Fu Hanyu's own annotations.

Liang Xiao clicked his tongue, this kid is serious about what he does.

"You marked so many, don't you get dazzled?"

"Actually, there are not too many lines, the main thing is the understanding of body movements. What expressions are needed for which actions, this is often forgotten."

"Come on," Liang Xiao picked up a highlighter from Fu Hanyu's side, and highlighted a few points on the script in threes and fives, "There is logic behind all emotional turning points, you just need to put This story line can be memorized, and does not require so much other reading comprehension."

"Hmm..." Fu Hanyu's understanding of the whole scene immediately became clear after Liang Xiao made such a mark.

"Any questions, first day filming rookie?"

Fu Hanyu thought for a while: "If I NG too much, my face will become stiff, and if I do it again, I will feel even more stiff, and it will be a vicious circle. I feel that my speed of getting out of the play and entering the play is too slow."

"This is simple, let me teach you a better way."

Fu Hanyu still pricked up his ears to the actor's acting teaching.

"Rub your face more, the muscles will relax and your expression will be natural next time."

Fu Hanyu: "..."

"Don't believe it?" Liang Xiao teased him with a light smile, "If you don't believe me, just try it and you'll know."

Fu Hanyu put his fingertips on both sides of his mouth suspiciously, pushed up to the cheekbones and rubbed them, then squeezed in the middle, his lips naturally pursed into a cute bubble fish.Then he kept this strange face, and turned to Liang Xiao blankly, blinking his big eyes.

Seeing someone like Liang cursed in his heart.

cute, think...

At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor outside the dance practice classroom, Liang Xiao was a little wary and glanced at the classroom door.

Footsteps passed by again.

Only then did Liang Xiao turn his head again, and patiently answered Fu Hanyu's many questions on the set.

In the end, it was too late.He rubbed Fu Hanyu's head and stood up: "I'm leaving first, you go to bed early. Good night."

Fu Hanyu just looked up at him, nodded and didn't answer.

In the end, I was still secretly angry and couldn't say good night to him.

Fu Hanyu would smile and say "good night" to any crew member at random, but he couldn't say it to Liang Xiao.For some reason, saying "good night" to Liang Xiao was like saying "I love you".

After Liang Xiao left, Fu Hanyu practiced another set of abdominal muscle tearer before going to bed.While he was doing abdominal crunches, he was thinking, it seems that as long as there are other people around, Liang Xiao will treat him coldly, but when the two of them are alone, he will...

Be gentle with him.

That night, Fu Hanyu tossed and turned on the bed.

Before joining the group, he thought that the biggest challenge of acting in this film would come from cooperating with Liang Xiao.After entering the group, I realized that the two of them got along without embarrassment, but everyone on the set focused on him, Qin Zhou's sneering smile, and Wang Hongjin's tone of resentment when he was speaking... . It's all invisible pressure, which makes him a little out of breath.

In the end, Fu Hanyu fell into a drowsy sleep.All the complicated thoughts sank to the bottom of the sea like stones, while the transparent bubbles changed their shapes and slowly rose.They burst one by one in the light and shadow that was about to approach the water surface, and the moment they saw the sky, Liang Xiaoyan smiled and opened his eyes to him.

Those familiar eyes.

In his dream, he returned to the year when he first met Liang Xiao.
