The straight man in the entertainment circle

Stimulated by Lin Li, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun didn't even have lunch and were busy memorizing their lines.

After lunch, Zhang Dasong came to check on the door. When the three of them saw Zhang Dasong coming, they all stopped, as if waiting for instructions.

"Don't worry about me, keep practicing, I'll just take a look."

When the three of them heard what Zhang Dasong said, they thought Zhang Dasong was going to inspect, so they continued practicing.

Zhang Dasong watched for a while and found that when the three of them were practicing, Lin Li was the center of attention, and it was Lin Li who was driving their emotions.

Lin Li not only remembered the lines the best among the three, he also had the best understanding of the script. His tone and demeanor were the most accurate among the three, and even the pauses in his tone were correct.

Zhang Dasong was also a little surprised. Although Lin Li had previously demonstrated an understanding of the script beyond his years, there was a gap between thorough understanding and precise expression.

Many actors can understand it thoroughly, but there are very few actors who can express it accurately.

As for Lin Li, he was able to achieve this at such a young age. This was the first time he met Zhang Dasong after being a director for so many years.

This is the real person who is born to eat this bowl of rice, Zhang Dashong thought to himself.

Zhang Dasong watched the rehearsal of the three of them more carefully.

Ren Shixiu said at this time: "Old Lu, let's not talk about this matter anymore, okay, I...I won't go, okay?"

After Zhang Dasong heard this, he felt that Ren Shixiu's words were not right, but Lin Li pointed it out.

"This line, you are actually struggling in your heart, you don't know what to do, so when you say it, you actually have a hint of expectation, hoping that I will tell you to stay, so as to help you make up your mind, so you say When you say this, you must express that sense of expectation, and the questioning air in your tone must be stronger..." Lin Li said to Ren Shixiu.

Zhang Dasong was stunned, and Lin Li said everything he wanted to say.

Over there, Ren Shixiu acted like a student. After listening to Lin Li's words, he looked like he suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. Zhang Chaolun also felt that he had benefited a lot from listening to it.

Rehearsals continue.

Zhang Chaolun said to Ren Shixiu: "You stay, I will go back by myself..."

Hearing this, Zhang Dasong wanted to give guidance again, but before he could speak, Lin Li said again: "Teacher Zhang, when you finish saying this, you should also look at Yu'e expectantly to see her response. Because you said this, you just didn't want Yu'e to be in trouble, so you took the initiative to withdraw. But in your heart, you still hope that Yu'e will go with you. After you say this, look at her. When she doesn't respond to you, you I left feeling both uncomfortable and relieved, I think this is the right way to handle it, what you just said was a bit too casual."

Zhang Chaolun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I always thought that the last words they said goodbye to each other were the highlight. I didn't taste it carefully here."

Zhang Chaolun was completely convinced by Lin Li, and he accepted Lin Li's suggestions in full. He felt that he could have performed at 80 points, but after Lin Li sorted it out for him, he could at least perform at 90 points.

The same goes for Ren Shixiu.

Everyone said that they can learn a lot from following a great director, but now they understand that a good opponent can also learn a lot.

Zhang Dasong felt relieved after watching this group of performances. With Lin Li there, he basically didn't need himself.

Zhang Dasong flipped through the scripts of the three of them. After the three of them finished rehearsing, Zhang Dasong stood up.

"Not bad, pretty good." Zhang Dasong said.

It was great to get Zhang Dasong. Both Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu were overjoyed and became more confident about this performance.

Zhang Dasong held up three script books and said, "I just looked at your script books. Whose script book does it have with nothing written on it? Didn't you take notes at all?"

When Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu heard Zhang Dasong's question, they both felt that Zhang Dasong had just praised something and was about to criticize it now, so they both looked at Lin Li with some worry.

"This script is mine." Lin Li said.

Zhang Dasong opened his script book and said to the photographer following him: "Let me show you, this is Ren Shixiu's..."

Ren Shixiu used colored pens to draw out her lines in her script book, and marked many modal particles.

Zhang Dasong opened another book: "This is Zhang Chaolun's."

Zhang Chaolun also used colored pens to take a lot of notes in his script book.

Zhang Dashong finally opened Lin Li's script book and said, "This is Lin Li's."

Lin Li's script book was clean and had nothing on it.

Zhang Chaolun mustered up his courage and said for Lin Li: "Director Zhang, although Lin Li didn't take notes, he remembers them better than the two of us."

"Yes, you have also seen that in many places he is giving details to both of us." Ren Shixiu also said.

They were all afraid that Zhang Dashong would criticize Lin Li, so they hurriedly interceded for Lin Li.

Zhang Dashong smiled, looked at Lin Li, and asked, "Lin Li, why don't you take notes like them?"

Lin Li didn't want to say it at first, but when Zhang Dasong asked, he didn't hesitate to say it: "Because I think this habit is very bad."

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun were both stunned and looked at Lin Li in confusion.

Doesn't taking notes in the script book show that you are studying seriously, just like students taking notes in class and expressing their thoughts after reading?

Why would Lin Li say this is a bad habit?

There is a camera here, and it will be filmed and broadcast!

It’s too far-fetched for Lin Li to have it here!

Zhang Dasong smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me, why is it bad?"

"Well... let me perform it for you." Lin Li said. After speaking, Lin Li looked at Ren Shixiu and said, "Sister Ren, please cooperate with me. Let's do it again. Just match the lines without performing."

Ren Shixiu was a little confused and didn't understand why Lin Li wanted to cooperate, but she immediately said: "Okay."

Lin Li: "Jade Moth, I'm back!"

Ren Shixiu: "Where have you been and why did you come back?"

Lin Li: "I went to the vegetable market."

Ren Shixiu: "Old Lu...I..."

Lin Li: "Look what I bought, hey, a hairy crab! How big is it? These legs are so strong, this one costs more than a hundred!"

Ren Shixiu: "What, more than a hundred?! You bought three more?

Lin Li: "Yes."

Ren Shixiu: "Are you crazy? Do you want to live a better life!?"

Lin Li: "It's rare for Old Liu to come. Be more cheerful! I'll go to the kitchen..."

Ren Shixiu: "Hands!"

Lin Li stopped and looked at Ren Shixiu. Ren Shixiu was also a little confused by Lin Li's look and said, "Is it your turn?"

Lin Lida said: "What is your last hand?"

Ren Shixiu said blankly: "Didn't your hand get pinched by the hairy crab? I said hand, and then I grabbed your hand. Did I instigate you? You said you only knew the lines, so I didn't perform."

"In other words, if you want to perform, when you say this line, you will pick up my hand and instigate it, right?" Lin Li asked.

Ren Shixiu was even more stupid and said, "Yeah, didn't we always act like this during rehearsals?"

Lin Li: "But didn't you notice that the lines I just said were different from the ones we rehearsed before?"

Ren Shixiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chaolun beside him.

Zhang Chaolun was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't hear anything different.

Both of them looked at Lin Li, and Lin Li said: "My original line should be: Look what I bought, hey, hairy crabs! How big are they? These legs are so strong that they pinched my fingers in one go." This one costs more than a hundred!”

Ren Shixiu thought for a while and said, "You just... didn't seem to say that you pinched your finger."

"Yes, although this line is dispensable in the entire script, it is not dispensable for the action of your instigating fingers later. It is a cause and effect relationship. I said that my hands were Damn it, it's natural for you to show concern again. If I hadn't said it before, your move would have been a bit sudden, because normally, if I didn't say it, you would have to ask first, so your next lines should also be changed. It's only natural. For example, if you ask what's wrong with your finger, and I answer that it was pinched by a hairy crab, and you use my finger to instigate it, it will be smooth."

"The most important thing in our play is true feelings, so once these aspects are distorted, it will make people mess up. Although this is my problem and is caused by me not saying all the lines, in the eyes of the audience, I There is nothing wrong with what you say, but there is a problem when you act, so they will blame you for the fault, do you understand?"

"The reason for this problem is that you didn't pay attention to the changes in my lines. We can't guarantee that the opponent will make no mistakes during the performance. If he makes some trivial mistakes, you can correct them, not because For his mistakes, he will bear the consequences."

After hearing Lin Li's words, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun nodded again and again as if they were students, with even some admiration in their eyes.

What Lin Li said was so good!

Ren Shixiu said awkwardly: "That's right, I didn't notice that line in your line, so when I heard it, I started saying my line..."

Lin Li smiled and said, "That's why I said you have bad habits. When almost all actors get their scripts, they like to draw out their lines with colored pens to facilitate their memory. But in fact, this will Dispersing their ideas makes them unable to pay attention to their opponent's lines, so that they don't know if their opponent has a problem, and often they act in their own way without integration."

After Lin Li finished speaking, Zhang Dashong clapped his hands.

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun applauded when they saw Zhang Dasong, so they naturally followed suit. Lin Li's words were so insightful and so well said!

Zhang Dasong turned to face the camera and said: "This program must be broadcast. This is what I told the new actors in the crew. Don't use colored pens to draw your own lines in your script books. If you want to perform well, In film and television dramas, you can’t just read your own lines.”

After Zhang Dasong finished speaking, he said to them: "Okay, you three go to eat. After eating, you have to put on makeup."

Lin Li and the other two actors all played elderly people, so they had to spend a lot of time putting on makeup.

After Zhang Dashong finished speaking, he went to visit the class next door.

Lin Li and the other three were also hungry, so they went to have a meal. During the meal, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun even asked Lin Li about problems during the performance, which puzzled the other actors who were having the meal.

After dinner, someone from the program team came to invite Lin Li and the three of them to put on makeup.

Lin Li originally wanted to do it himself. After all, he is already a master in the art of disguise. He is no better than the top special effects team in Hollywood. In the show "The Masked Singer", it was hard to tell the difference between male and female. , doing your own makeup will definitely be much better than the professional team hired by the show crew.

But then Lin Li thought about it, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun were both makeup artists from the show team. If he put makeup on himself, wouldn't he be taking advantage of them?

Anyway, the makeup artist hired by the program team was just okay, so Lin Li didn't ask for makeup himself.

The program team hired the so-called top makeup artists in the industry, but in Lin Li's opinion, their makeup skills were a bit rough and took too long.

By the time they finished their makeup, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The people from the "Future Progressive" team started filming first, and Lin Li took advantage of this time to steal the show.

Lin Li stood behind director Zhang Dasong, watching Zhang Dasong's arrangement of the camera and use of lighting, and began to steal from him.

Lin Li's photography skills have reached a special level, so he understood Zhang Dasong's use of lenses in many places, and was greatly impressed.

Zhang Dasong is indeed a master director. He is very thoughtful in the scheduling of shots, the use of light and color, and the switching of actors.

These laymen might not be able to see it, but Lin Li saw the secret.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

After watching it for several hours, Lin Li gained a lot.

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun, like Lin Li, watched Zhang Dasong instruct the actors on how to film, but they only watched the actors' acting skills.

Zhang Dasong is very strict. Even though this is just a short program, not a real movie, and the actors are not best actors or actresses, Zhang Dasong still requires the actors to perform at their best before they give up. Even Chen Qingqing, who has been praised by Zhang Dasong before, The actors who praised the movie failed numerous times during the actual filming.

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun were both a little nervous. Zhang Dasong's requirements were too strict, and they might not be able to meet them.

Due to Zhang Dasong's strict requirements, Chen Qingqing's film and television shooting lasted until the evening.

Lin Li and the other three touched up their makeup before starting their shooting.

There are two things that are most difficult for young people to play the role of old people. One is the eyes, and the other is the voice. The appearance can be changed through makeup. The eyes are not consistent with the eyes of the elderly even if they wear contact lenses. The same is true for the voice. Last time Chen Qingqing deliberately shouted to break her throat and make her voice look older, but it sounded somewhat unnatural, and there were very few people who could do what Chen Qingqing did.

However, when Lin Li appeared on the stage, everyone was shocked. At this time, Lin Li was hunched over and wearing old and outdated clothes. He transformed from that handsome and cool young man into an old man who had been ravaged by time!

The contrast is so great!

Almost everyone couldn't believe that it was Lin Li who appeared.

"I'm back!"

Lin Li came out and said his first words, which shocked everyone again. Lin Li is a singer, and he pays more attention to protecting his voice than an actor. It is impossible for him to damage his voice just because of a performance, but Lin Li said His voice was so old and thick, it sounded like the voice of an old man!

However, many people know Lin Li's performance in "The Masked Singer" and know that Lin Li's voice is changeable. They don't seem that surprised when he speaks such an old voice!

When the camera showed a close-up of Lin Li's face, Zhang Dasong couldn't help but get closer and looked at Lin Li's eyes specifically. He saw that Lin Li's eyes suddenly became a little cloudy, not at all like his original bright and energetic look. Eyes!

"Lin Li looks like an old man!" Ge Erdan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but admired.

"Yeah, it's so similar!" Zhou Chen said.

Chen Qingqing looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Lin Li looks pretty good when he gets older~"

The three of them just sighed softly and did not dare to say anything else for fear of disturbing Zhang Dasong's filming.

To the surprise of Lin Li and the other three, their group's filming went very smoothly. It only took two hours to complete, which was more than twice as fast as Chen Qingqing and the others.

When Zhang Dasong announced that the filming was over, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun couldn't believe it. They thought they would have to stay up all night today.

After filming, the actors' tasks have been completed. All that's left is for Zhang Dasong's team to edit the film overnight, add subtitles, and it can be performed tomorrow.

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun were overjoyed because they completed the task ahead of schedule. After taking off their makeup, they took Lin Li to have a late-night snack. After having a late-night snack together, they went back to rest.

The recording on the second day didn’t start until 2 pm. After all, other groups really stayed up until dawn. Post-editing and production would take some time, so it was impossible to record the program early in the morning.

Lin Li slept until noon before getting up. After having lunch, he followed his mother to the recording site.
