Dingo Domestication Guide

Chapter 6 5 Minutes of Mime

Soon Huanshi's people came into contact with Lou Xiaoheng.The rookie training program lasted for three years. During the three years, every newcomer had to attend multiple training courses, and also had corresponding opportunities to perform; they didn't need to pay any fees, but the numbers in the final share ratio were not very good.Lou Xiaoheng would not be foolish enough to think this was a reasonable agreement, but he was too eager to act.If you stay in the circle of ensemble performers, it's too difficult to stand out, and if you don't have the chance to show your face, you can't be remembered, and if you don't get remembered, you can't get more and better performance opportunities.This is a simple vicious circle, so Lou Xiaoheng agreed without hesitation.

It's just that this rookie training program has attracted many unknown guys like Lou Xiaoheng from the very beginning.In addition to people like him who have no backing and no financial resources, there are still some people who were squeezed in through the back door, and the number of people was much higher than expected.Lou Xiaoheng originally thought that Feng Yueguang would recommend him, but a month later, he actually received an assessment notice: Huanshi Entertainment's newcomer training plan will hold a small-scale selection.

After arriving at the selection site within the scheduled time, Lou Xiaoheng was a little surprised: the selection site was located in a conference room, and all the newcomers and judges who participated in the selection were seated in the same space, with a distance of only five meters between the two parties.Lou Xiaoheng thought about it for a while and quickly understood: this is a fair and just selection at least on the surface, at least every newcomer can see other people's performances and performances, and it seems to be quite honest.

The selection was very simple: perform a scene within 5 minutes.The topic is the same: a top chef has messed up his specialty dish, and the taste is very different from before.

When all the candidates to be selected were drawn, Lou Xiaoheng was embarrassed when he saw his own number: 21 people, he was No. 20.

This kind of naked and open selection has a huge disadvantage: the earlier the performance, the greater the advantage, because it is impossible for the later people to repeat the performance methods and creativity of the previous people, which is tantamount to asking for a dead end.Lou Xiaoheng suddenly felt sad: In such a simple scene, there are too few things that can be played.He gently held the piece of paper with "No. 20" between his fingers, and subconsciously went to find the man who had drawn No. 21.

The boy wearing a black peaked cap made a surprised sound: "Hey, you are number 20? Haha, I am number 21!"

Lou Xiaoheng: "..."

"What a coincidence." The boy smiled at him innocently.

Lou Xiaoheng was just about to say that you are so generous, when he suddenly realized that the boy looked familiar, he frowned and thought for a while before realizing that the person in front of him was the gangster leader in the youth idol drama in which he played the gangster before. .

After putting on makeup that day, the man's hair was greasy and greasy, and there was a slanted scar on his face. Coupled with his violent expression, Lou Xiaoheng had no idea that the man was such a sunny and beautiful person.The boy also recognized him, and immediately became more acquainted with him. He talked with him shoulder to shoulder, and introduced the people who were coming out one by one and sitting on the judge's seat to Lou Xiaoheng in the tone of someone who had experienced it.

When Lou Xiaoheng caught the opportunity and asked the boy's name Xiang Rui, the selection had officially started.

The top chefs who made their specialty dishes difficult to eat waved their invisible spatulas in front of them one by one, struggling hard in the same invisible wok, and soon sighed, beat their chests, and felt extremely annoyed.

Lou Xiaoheng watched the performances of seven or eight people and gradually felt bored.He looked up at the judges.Several members of the judges also started to turn their pens and bow their heads to play with their phones. Under such circumstances, the next few newcomers seemed very nervous, and the lines they came up with impromptu also stuttered and had no appeal.

He's been listening intently to someone else's lines.He must never say the lines spoken by the 19 people in front of him, but it is not easy to come up with impressive lines under such circumstances.

The piece of paper with the serial number turned over and over between his fingers, and he became a little anxious.

No. 11 walked up and bowed first, saying hello to the judges, my name is Lu XX.Lou Xiaoheng was startled, and immediately sat up straight.

Lu...Lu Huang.He thought of the man who always had a constipated face to him.

After promising Lu Huang to listen to his advice more, Lu Huang kept telling himself the same thing: always remember to figure out the character when acting, and you must understand that all external actions of the character are influenced by the inside.

Lou Xiaoheng, who quickly calmed down, closed his eyes, and quietly folded the piece of paper in his palm.

What he wants to play is a top chef, this is the identity of the character.

Top Chef messes up his specialty, that's what the scene is about.

What the judges want to see is how a top chef cooks a bad dish?No——Lou Xiaoheng suddenly understood—what they want to see is what happens after the chef makes a mess of his specialty dishes, which is the part that can test newcomers the most: the extension beyond the content of the scene.

upset?angry?Confuse?incredible?These are all possible emotions.

Lou Xiaoheng remembered what Lu Huang said, and he turned his thinking attention back to the character again.

A person who can become a top chef will not be too young, because this industry requires qualifications and certification.Age and experience, as well as familiarity with his profession, all determine that this chef is calm when facing the kitchen: he is familiar with the place where he has worked for more than ten years or even decades, panic and confusion when the dishes are messed up Wouldn't be a legitimate emotion.At the same time, the title of "Top" clearly defined his position in the industry, and he must have confidence in his craft.Confident, steady, and calm, yet aging, this is his positioning for a top chef.so……

After trying to figure out the result, Lou Xiaoheng finally opened his eyes slowly.Standing in front of the performance is already No.18.He unfolded the closed piece of paper in his hand, flipping it briskly back and forth between his fingers.

He is grateful for this sequence, which gave him time to think and arrange every detail involved in this performance.He firmly believes at this moment that his performance is definitely the most unique.

The lines cannot be repeated, so don't use the lines at all, and use actions and details to express.

He's going to do a five-minute mime.

"Go on the 20th. Please prepare for the 21st."

Lou Xiaoheng rushed towards Rui Xiaoxiao, put the piece of paper in his pocket and walked out.

"Hello judges, I'm number 20, Lou Xiaoheng." Lou Xiaoheng stood upright in the field, bowing to the judges who were older than him.

There was a balding middle-aged man who lowered his head and seemed to be reading the materials. He smiled and said, "Lou Xiaoheng? All your acting experience is group performances? No way, how did you squeeze in?"

There was a noisy low laugh behind him, and Lou Xiaoheng replied seriously: "Yes, I have always been an extra, and I don't have much experience in acting."

Responding to his ridicule so frankly, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, and smiled: "...Okay, okay. Can we start?"

"Yes." Lou Xiaoheng nodded, closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down his trembling fingertips.When he opened his eyes again, he had adjusted his upright posture to a slightly hunched posture.

With a calm smile in his chest, he rinsed the knives for cutting vegetables and meat, took off his apron, and turned around to uncover the pot that had been tightly covered.

The white steam and the smell of food billowed out from the open gap together, hitting his face.

The moment he smelled the dishes, his expression changed.

After turning off the stove and putting down the lid of the pot, he quickly picked up the heat-insulating glove on the side and put it on his left hand, carefully took out the dish of freshly steamed vegetables, put it on the chopping board, and sniffed the smell again.

His face became more and more serious.That's not how the dish should smell.The steamed meat has been marinated overnight and beaten hundreds of times before it is put into the pot. It should have mixed with various spices to create a unique aroma. The mushroom slices stacked on the bottom of the plate should be the finishing touch. Never had a wrong hand, but now this taste is really...

He slowly took the chopsticks, scooped up some hot minced meat, and let it cool down for a few minutes before putting it into his mouth.

It was only when I entered that I realized that something was wrong.

He stood in front of the plate of steamed vegetables, stared at it for a while, and finally sighed. Then he took off the heat-insulating glove that had been on his left hand and put it aside.

The newcomers sitting at the back could only see Lou Xiaoheng's silent back and back and forth movements, while the judges in front of him all opened their eyes wide in surprise.

This is actually a performance without lines, which is particularly unique compared to the previous 19 newcomers who kept saying all kinds of clever words.

The middle-aged man looked down at Lou Xiaoheng's resume again, and when he raised his head again, there was some surprise in his eyes looking at Lou Xiaoheng.

This young actor—no, it should be said that this newcomer who is not yet an actor is quite interesting.He didn't say a word, but with his stooped waist, the sudden change from a soothing smile to surprise, and a heavy sigh, he subtly and appropriately expressed a chef who had failed but maintained his composure.All the judges had forgotten the invisible heat-insulating glove on his left hand all the time, but when he took off the glove, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: he was so worried about himself that he messed up. Confused, so I forgot to take off my gloves when trying to eat.

The judges were a little bit overjoyed.This rookie training program is an important investment project of Huanshi in the past few years. Of course, it is a pleasure to select one or two good seedlings. Besides, this young man has a good body and a good face.

Just when the judges thought the performance was over early, Lou Xiaoheng made another gesture of picking up chopsticks.

He tapped something in front of him with the non-existent chopsticks, then put it in his mouth, frowned and smashed it, and quickly extended the chopsticks in another direction.This time he picked up something and put it in his mouth.

The middle-aged man suddenly understood: After making a failed work, the chef is going back and checking his condiments and ingredients!

But a top chef with rich experience should know what is wrong with this dish as soon as he tastes it, why bother to check it back?

At this time Lou Xiaoheng stopped.He hunched over, his brows tightened a bit, and with a little hesitation, he stretched out the chopsticks tremblingly towards the place he had just pointed.

"Oh, that's it." One of the judges said with a smile.

The middle-aged man immediately understood why Lou Xiaoheng had a slightly hunched waist at the beginning: this is an elderly chef.

He messed up his specialty dishes, because he couldn't identify what went wrong with subtle self-doubt, so he had to go back and try each item; The past tastes have created uncertainty, so I hesitate to go back and try again what I have just tasted.After understanding the meaning contained in these body movements, the chef who was still frowning and inspecting in front of him felt a little sad for no reason.

In the seemingly simple 5-minute performance, the young man in front of him mellowly and calmly completed the echo, transition and elevation.

The middle-aged man watched Lou Xiaoheng stand up straight again, bowed to the judges with a smile, bowed his head and scored a not low score on the assessment form.

This is his highest score today.
