This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

  Chapter 336 334. Free play? How to act mentally ill?

   Three plays?

  Wang Cheng put down the notebook in his hand, looked up at the stage, and then looked at the director Huang Ping. He didn't speak, but looked at Huang Ping calmly.

Huang Ping felt a lot of pressure. He had no experience in dealing with people with Wang Cheng's personality before. Facing Wang Cheng's calm eyes, he continued: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu selected three dramas through text communication. They are more suitable for performances. They are all classic film and television works that were more classic twenty years ago, and everyone remembers them!"

   "A classic crime movie Black and White Memories, a rural life movie Xi Niang, and a police drama Black Drugs!"

  Huang Ping would also like to introduce the three works in detail.

  Wang Cheng said casually: "They can choose!"

Huang Ping seemed not surprised by Wang Cheng's answer, and quickly said: "That's black drugs! Teacher Zhang Xiao and Teacher Wu Zixin both recommended this drama. This is the most classic TV drama about drug dealers. The heroine is a policeman who goes undercover in a drug dealer group. , the story of fighting wits and bravery with the villain, and finally captured the drug dealer villain! Teacher Zhang Xiao wants to play the leading role of the female policeman, and teacher Wu Zixin will play the second male criminal police captain.”

   "They hope that you can play the big villain drug dealer. It's the last episode, an interrogation segment before the trial, and the three of you have similar roles."

  Wang Cheng nodded, put down the notebook in his hand, took out his mobile phone and searched for information about the TV series Black Drugs.

  Huang Ping is not surprised by this either.

  Because this drama is a classic TV series from 20 years ago, but Wang Cheng is only 19 years old, so it is normal that he has not watched this drama.

  However, this would be very unfair to Wang Cheng. He doesn't know anything about this show, so how can he perform on stage?

   And Zhang Xiao studied this show when he was young. After all, the ratings were very popular back then, and there were many powerful actors in it!

  Among them, Wu Zixin played a role in it back then, but he played only one of the young policemen with more roles, and he was at most the seventh male!

  So, whether it is Zhang Xiao or Wu Zixin, they must be very familiar with this drama.

  As for Wang Cheng, he was completely unfamiliar with it, and only now began to search for information.

  Beside An Keru and Wen Yixiao frowned slightly, feeling that this was too unfair to Wang Cheng.

   An Keru said directly: "Director Huang, Wang Cheng doesn't know anything about this drama, so he will perform it right away. Isn't this bullying?"

  Huang Ping hurriedly said: "I told Teacher Zhang and Teacher Wu, and they said that Wang Cheng can choose one he is familiar with."

  Wang Cheng shook his head lightly: "No need, it's what they choose, it's all the same to me!"

  Anyway, he hasn’t seen it, and he doesn’t understand it. It’s the same in every segment...

  Huang Ping immediately said again: "Wang Cheng, you can have some free play when you are performing, and you don't have to perform completely according to the plot lines in the play. As long as the performance is good, then there is no problem..."

   This is what Huang Ping thought of as compensation to Wang Cheng—play freely!

   And this is what he has learned after working with many actors in recent years. Some actors' favorite way of acting is to play freely!

  Many young actors and powerful actors hope to give them some room for free play to develop their own imagination and acting skills, instead of performing according to the stereotyped lines of the predecessors.

but…

  Most actors who have this kind of request, have become a joke.

   Only a very small number of truly senior and capable actors have achieved themselves.

  The acting skills shown by Wang Cheng in the two performances just now are definitely beyond everyone's imagination. Huang Ping feels that Wang Cheng must also need his own performance space.

  So, he gave Wang Cheng this compensation.

  Wang Cheng's eyes lit up a little when he heard Huang Ping's words, then he nodded and said, "Well, I see..."

  Huang Ping heaved a sigh of relief, Wang Cheng agreed, got up and said: "Well, you should rest yourself and learn about the information. I'll go to work first..."

  After Wang Cheng nodded, Huang Ping left.

  Wang Cheng has already found out this classic crime TV series called Black Poison, and saw that this drama is a bit similar to the classic film and television drama in his memory.

  He found out all the information about the villains.

This drama is very similar to the film and television drama called Black Ice in my memory, but the focus is different. The heroine is the real first protagonist, and the villain’s fans are not as focused as the villain in Black Ice. The villain is actually the first protagonist, and the plot is also centered on the villain.

   And this black poison is a plot based on the heroine's undercover vision!

so…

  The characters and plots of the two dramas seem a bit similar, but the characters and plot focus are different.

  Wang Cheng was thinking in his heart, and continued to look at the information!

An Keru, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and Han Xiao who were standing next to them all looked at Wang Cheng worriedly and wanted to say something, but they saw Wang Cheng seriously checking the information and didn't say anything to disturb them, they could only think in their hearts. I was in a hurry, afraid that Wang Cheng would suffer a disadvantage when facing Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin on the stage.

   And at this time.

  The performances of Ma Jianfeng and Shen Xinyan on the stage are about to come to an end. Their performance status can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination, and surpassed their best performance before, winning warm applause from everyone.

  At the end of the performance, the four judges applauded vigorously without hesitation, sending their warmest applause.

  Ma Jianfeng and Shen Xinyan were all smiling. Everyone felt that they were in full swing during the performance just now, and they all felt that their performance had improved, so they were very happy.

When the applause stopped, Guan Sheng from the judges' seat looked directly at Shen Xinyan and asked, "Shen Xinyan, your performance this time gave me a big surprise. You began to further let go of your idol burden, and at the same time, your inner drama just now The performance is very good, the changes in demeanor and expression, and even the eyes are extremely vivid, and the progress is very great!"

   "How did you do this?"

  Zhang Heping, Zhang Xiao, and Wu Zixin also stared at Shen Xinyan. Ma Jianfeng and others beside Shen Xinyan also looked at Shen Xinyan curiously. They were all suppressed by Shen Xinyan's performance just now.

Shen Xinyan glanced at Wang Cheng who was not far away from the stage, and saw that Wang Cheng didn't care about her performance and comments on the stage, but was looking down at something, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, but it didn't show on her face. He replied to everyone: "I just watched Wang Cheng's performance today and his character notes, and I have a little epiphany about the performance."

   Is it because of Wang Cheng again?

  Everyone was full of curiosity.

  Especially when I heard Shen Xinyan's character notes?

Guan Sheng immediately asked: "Oh? Are you influenced by Wang Cheng? Wang Cheng's performance today is indeed amazing, and I can understand that it can bring you so much inspiration. But, what are the character notes you are talking about? Is it a character note?"

Shen Xinyan nodded: "Yes. I just curiously wanted to ask Wang Cheng about the details of the performance. Then I saw him reading the notes, which were the notes of the original characters of the three performances he performed today. After he read the original plot , conducted a lot of behind-the-scenes analysis of the characters, and wrote a lot of detailed analysis of each character, and I was shocked after watching it.”

"So, I learned from him. During the performance just now, I temporarily conducted a more detailed and in-depth psychological and growth analysis of the characters in my performance. Then, I integrated it into my performance to bring more Three-dimensional and delicate inner performance..."

  Guan Sheng and the other three judges were all surprised when they heard this.

   Can detailed character notes improve Shen Xinyan's performance?

   What kind of character note is that?

  They are all people who are very familiar with acting, so they also know that most powerful actors have the habit of taking notes on characters, so as to better understand the characters and perform better.

  But...the writing is not very detailed.

  Could it be...

  What is the difference between what Wang Cheng wrote?

  Wu Zixin asked curiously: "What kind of character notes did Wang Cheng write?"

  If it was before Wang Cheng came on stage to perform, they would definitely not take this information seriously, and even sniff it with disdain. After all, what kind of notes does a 19-year-old singer who debuted in a talent show know? What kind of acting do you know?

But…

  Having seen Wang Cheng's two performances beyond the original version, they will not underestimate any information about Wang Cheng's performance.

  Many people in the circle and the audience at the scene were also very curious.

Shen Xinyan glanced at Wang Cheng's direction again, seeing that Wang Cheng didn't say anything about it, he didn't seem to care about it, so she didn't hide anything at the moment, and said directly: "It is to describe the growth experience of a character and the process of mentality change in great detail. , and the changes in personal preferences, as well as the details of personality changes brought about by emotional experiences, etc., are all written in great detail. In fact, I don’t think it can be called a character note, it can be called an autobiography of a character!”

   "So, I don't think it's surprising that Wang Cheng can perform so miraculously. This is a very normal thing. He also pointed out the way forward for me!"

  Shen Xinyan spoke extremely seriously, her pretty face made no secret of her admiration and respect for Wang Cheng.

  Ma Jianfeng and several other young actors were also slightly moved when they heard this, and decided in their hearts that they would also ponder and delve into the information of their characters in the next performance.

The four judges and some other people knew in their hearts that they had misunderstood Wang Cheng before. The video Wang Cheng had been watching today might be the original episode of the episode to be performed, and then he had been writing character understanding notes and so on. It's not that they think they've been brushing videos.

   Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin, two well-known and powerful actors, looked at the young man sitting not far away with a little surprise. They really didn't expect that Wang Cheng would still behave like this.

Thinking of Wang Cheng's wonderful performance just now, it was also because Wang Cheng had put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, not because he could perform so well out of thin air. Lightened up a little.

   Waiting for their performance with Wang Cheng, there is not much time left. They believe that Wang Cheng must not have time to do such detailed preparations.

   Then, when they play against Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng's performance should not be as good as the performance just now.

  Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin looked at each other and nodded slightly. They agreed that they would perform well later and try to suppress Wang Cheng...

  Shen Xinyan's interview also ended here, and then she left the stage with Ma Jianfeng and the others with a smile on her face, and then walked directly to Wang Cheng's side. She was a little disappointed to see Wang Cheng's figure.

   At this time, Wang Cheng just walked into the dressing room and began to make up for the third performance!

   Several makeup artists quickly followed his request to make up.

In the third performance, Wang Cheng played a left-behind youth in the countryside with some mental problems. The opponent was Zhao Xiang and several other actors. The clip of the performance is a clip of the two meeting on the road.

  This movie shows the changes in Zhao Xiang's development from the countryside, and at the same time, through his vision, he reveals the changes in the countryside and the changes in the fate of some different characters.

The role played by Wang Cheng is one of the characters with a tragic fate. Because of poor study, he dropped out of school early to work in the city, but then he was injured and could not earn money by strength, so he could only return to the countryside to do some farm work and odd jobs to support himself. , has been in a state of ignorance, and then suffered from mental problems, and was introduced by an acquaintance to find a disabled wife, but the disabled wife also disliked him and ran away, and finally became mentally ill...

   When this movie was first released, it didn’t have much response and popularity, and the box office hit the street even more.

   But because it is too cruel, it is discovered by more and more people, and is recognized and liked by more and more people, because it seems that everyone can find their own shadow in it!

  The stage is ready...

  All the audience stared intently at the stage, looking forward to whether Wang Cheng's appearance would continue to surprise them.

  Among them, there are many people who are looking forward to it. What is it like for Wang Cheng to play a psychopath?

   "One thing to say, Wang Cheng really has nothing to say about his professionalism. He is willing to play a mental illness. How many of those young stars are willing to play a mental illness? They are afraid of affecting their own image..."

   "Wang Cheng's dedication is well-known in the industry, but his temper is rather weird."

   "Let's get started..."

   "I'm looking forward to what Wang Cheng, Zhang Xiao, and Wu Zixin will perform together in the end."

   "Stop talking, look, it's started!"

  The stage has gone dark.

  The scene became extremely silent again, and every audience stopped talking.

  The four judges also looked at the stage nervously. They don't know how long it has been since they experienced this kind of nervousness when watching a performance.

  It seems that the one who is about to appear is their teacher...

  First of all, Zhao Xiang, wearing fashionable casual clothes and carrying a satchel, hurried out under the light, with the joy of going home on his face, he just took two steps, and looked at the dark place on one side.

  There, a figure slowly came out from the dim place, and gradually became clear.

  Everyone at the scene trembled slightly when they saw the gradually clear figure...

Who is that?

  Everyone's eyes widened.

  Including Zhao Xiang on the stage, his body froze for a moment, and his eyes widened a little, staring at the figure that appeared.
