dear dreamer

The meeting with several veterans brought great shock to Deng Tingge.

Before that, he had always believed that an actor's excellent comprehension ability could allow him to fully appreciate the character's mentality, even if the actor himself had never experienced those things, he could express them appropriately.

But this time he finally understood that there are some tragic stories that no one can understand if he has not experienced them himself.

In the script, the painful soldier beats his stomach, trying to stop the twitching stomach from craving food and meat.Deng Tingge didn't understand at first, but he kept thinking about that part in the car going back.In the few dozen words of description and behavioral inscription, for the first time, he felt the despair and grief that could almost crush him like a huge wave.

When meeting with the actors later, he took the initiative to pick up that passage and asked the young children the psychology of the characters behind this behavior.

Most of the actors involved in the project are very young, but even without much acting experience, most of them have their own understanding and experience of acting.But no one could understand why the soldiers did this. Some people hesitated: "Being hungry for too long, my stomach hurts?"

Deng Tingge knew this was normal.They have never been on the battlefield, and they may not even feel hunger, so how can they understand the atmosphere and taste that cannot be described in the script?

During the brief silence, a man sitting in the corner said, "Because I'm hungry. He asked about the smell of burning corpses."

Surprised and delighted, Deng Tingge quickly asked the man to stand up and asked him, "What's your name? That troupe came here?"

He did not recognize the young man.The young man looks upright and sunny, with gentle eyes.

"My name is Xiang Rui." He said, "I am recommended by Huanshi."

Deng Tingge suddenly realized.Another happy person.Huan Shi's recent members are all acting school, but the scary thing is that they have idol school faces and figures.He looked at Xiang Rui, and after he sat down, he told the actor in front of him the story of the veteran.

Almost everyone was surprised, Deng Tingge looked at the expressions of these children calmly.Some of them might be good actors, he pretended to be a Bole, thinking proudly.

In addition to this group of young actors, the information given to him by his instructor also included several names of leading actors in the play.Deng Tingge was surprised: he saw Yan Fei's name.

Because the current training is mainly for these young actors, Yan Fei did not appear.Deng Tingge contacted Yan Fei immediately, and Yan Fei was very happy to know that he was also involved in this project.During Deng Tingge's hospitalization, everyone in the crew of "Long Yuan" sent him greetings, and Chen Yiping even left his filming place and took a detour to Yunnan to see him.Yan Fei asked him about his current physical condition in detail on the phone, and said, "That's not bad, recover well" as if relieved.

It's no secret that he was badly injured and is now confined to a wheelchair.Just search for "Deng Tingge" in entertainment publications and on the Internet, and the associated search terms that come out must have keywords such as "wheelchair", "disabled", "accident", and "paralyzed".

Many of the young actors have watched his "Second Crown Prince" and "Da Tang Jun Hua", and they also know something about his famous "Long Yuan".When Deng Tingge appeared in front of them on the first day, he awkwardly slipped onto the stage from a temporary ramp, and several people rushed over to help him hold the ramp or push a wheelchair for him.

Deng Tingge wasn't used to it, and he wasn't too embarrassed, but he thought it was a good intention, so he didn't refuse.

He soon discovered that they knew him, and some of them liked him very much, but they obviously didn't trust Deng Tingge's teaching level.

Deng Tingge: "It's not just the gait. When you say the lines, be careful not to use the way of reciting performances. Be more natural. This is what you say in your heart, not the lines. Do you understand? Also, the louder the better, full of air The sound is deterrent."

Everyone: "Ah? Doesn't being full of energy mean being loud? Teacher, you haven't figured it out yourself, have you?"

Deng Tingge: "..."

He understood the concerns of these "students".Originally, they were seniors who looked mature, prudent and experienced, but suddenly replaced by him in his twenties. For most people who superstitiously believe that the older they are, the more qualified they are to teach, Deng Tingge is indeed quite suspicious.

Deng Tingge thought for a while, then beckoned and asked Xiang Rui to hand him the script.

What they are taking is the line class, which is also the most important class for Deng Tingge when he was a student.Deng Tingge wondered if I could show some real skills, do you really think I'm a weak chicken?

Usually everyone watches him through the screen, with music, scenes, and makeup. In this case, the actor's own line skills are not obvious, especially for those who don't pay much attention to the lines themselves.

He looked up at Xiang Rui.Xiang Rui is a very good actor, and Deng Tingge found that he had obviously practiced vocalization.I wanted to ask Xiang Rui to play against him, but Deng Tingge changed his mind and decided to show off his skills in front of the young people.

I am not a vase.he thinks.

"The script we are discussing today is called "Thirty Letters from Home". The protagonist is an ordinary soldier who disappeared on the battlefield, Cao Xuan. In the script, his comrades call him Xuanzi. In the thirty letters from home, it is really Xuanzi Only six letters were written, and the remaining 24 letters were written and sent back to his home by his surviving comrades in arms after the war." Deng Tingge said, "Now, everyone is turning backwards. You are all familiar with the contents of these letters, but we have not yet started For role analysis, let’s play a game first. I’ll read the letter, and you can tell me how the letter writer felt when he wrote the letter.”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they all turned around obediently, facing Deng Tingge with their buttocks in unison.

Deng Tingge flipped a page casually.

"Mom, we fought another victory. I killed the enemy for the first time, and I was a little scared. But the company commander said that I don't have to be afraid. They are all fascists and invaders. They should be afraid of me. I won't The secretary taught me to write these words. I was happy afterwards, and everyone was happy to be able to drink soup after the victory.” Deng Tingge read slowly, “But the squad leader was injured, so he didn’t tell us , I found out..."

The crowd with their backs turned to him became more and more surprised as they heard it, and they all looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.

This is a happy family letter, in which Cao Xuan told his mother about a victory that made him happy.These undeliverable letters will be preserved, sent to the rear, and returned to the relatives of the soldiers at an appropriate time.No one can say for sure when the so-called "appropriate time" is, but Cao Xuan still wrote his joy on the letterhead: the monitor's injury was very minor, and he even sang to them in Shaanxi dialect.

But Deng Tingge read too gloomyly.

He lowered his voice, and the voice came out from his shaking chest, with a hint of hoarseness and depression.It was far from a pleasant voice, on the contrary, it was full of pain, sorrow, and unspeakable grief.When reading "Everyone is happy", Deng Tingge let out a slightly nasal cry, as if the writer was suppressing his emotions about to collapse.

After reading the letter, he asked in a normal voice, "What mood?"

Everyone was silent, no one dared to answer.

It is very pleasant to read the contents of the letter; but Deng Tingge's reading is completely different from the emotion conveyed in the letter.Someone replied thoughtfully: "If the writer is Cao Xuan, he will be very excited, but if it is you, it will be very sad."

"What if this letter was not written by Cao Xuan?" Deng Tingge said calmly, "Don't worry about the content of the script for now. The script says it was written by Cao Xuan, but what if it wasn't? What if Cao Xuan had already sacrificed at that time? , is it his squad leader who wrote this letter with his tone?"

That can all be explained: the joy revealed in the letter and the sadness of the writer are both logical.

Everyone seemed to understand a little bit, and they frowned and thought about it.

"This is the power of emotion, the ability of the performer." Deng Tingge's wheelchair made a soft rolling sound on the stage, "This is why I emphasized the lines. When these letters are read, the audience does not We know who wrote them, but we are clear. So we have to express the mentality of different letter writers with the expressive power of voice. Did I read it aloud? No, but this is what I call Zhongqi Absolutely. Do you think it is intimidating? Well, yes. The voice is a way for an actor to express himself, and it is of course an important way to show the characteristics of the characters. Why the importance of voice? Because this is a drama, everyone's characters are communicating , how do you perform so that the audience can understand and understand the identity of your character at that moment."

He continued softly.

"The performance on the drama stage is time-sensitive. Many of you don't appear on the stage for a long time. It's just such a little time, if you grasp it well, the role will be remembered by the audience."

He turned a few more pages: "I'll read another passage, and you guys can analyze it."

This time the lines class was a success.Deng Tingge read four letters from home, two were written by Cao Xuan, and two were written by his comrades in arms.He read happy sentences with a heavy tone, and interpreted "the squad leader is gone, and the company commander is gone" with a lively voice.

After showing off his skills, Deng Tingge ordered a few people to try.

In the following training, everyone took a lot more seriously.They carefully figured out the key points Deng Tingge said, practiced controlling their voices, and controlled the trembling of the vocal parts.

Deng Tingge broke out in a sweat, let them practice freely, and he leisurely stepped off the stage to eat Luo Hengqiu's loving snacks.When turning out of the backstage, he suddenly heard crisp applause from the audience, and looked up to see Hu Mu baring his teeth at him.

"Wonderful." Hu Mu shared the snacks made by Luo Hengqiu with him, while praising him, "It's really better to listen to a lesson from you than ten years of filming."

Deng Tingge: "Come on, you've been filming for ten years? Wait, wait, wait, that can't be eaten. Brother made it for me. You eat this."

Hu Mu had no choice but to put the biscuit back into his mouth.

The two looked at the audience for a while, and then exchanged some opinions.Hu Mu's career has improved a little recently, and Zhong Xing's movie has also started shooting. He has become a little busy, so he doesn't have much time to visit Deng Tingge.

Hu Mu didn't mention his job in front of Deng Tingge, just gossip.

After listening to it for a while, Deng Tingge suddenly remembered the big gossip that Luo Hengqiu told him last night, and immediately asked Hu Mu for confirmation in the spirit of seeking truth.

"Senior brother said that Kong Yu came to stay at your house, and was photographed the next day?" He was very interested, "How? Has the PR suppressed it?"

Hu Mu choked suddenly.
