Chapter 155
Two days later, the undergraduate pass line for the unified art exam was released, with 192 points, 12 points higher than last year's score line, but Chen Minhao scored 276 points, which was more than 80 points above the pass line, and it was more than enough to register for Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.
Chen Minhao knew that improving cultural courses can only be regarded as icing on the cake. And achieving outstanding results in the school examinations of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama is the top priority.
Teacher Wu Gang said some time ago: "Your strength now should be fine to get into a school that is almost the same, but it is quite difficult if you are interested in a top school like Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama." It is still lingering in Chen Minhao's heart.
Therefore, for Chen Minhao, the most urgent task is to make another breakthrough in his acting skills in the short term.
Chen Minhao's original plan was to observe some classic clips of the actors, especially the ones that could touch him in the performance of the actors. Imitate their performances and draw the essence of them.
Chen Minhao performed in front of the mirror for himself and put his mobile phone next to him to facilitate his performance.
However, the profit was very small. After a day, Chen Minhao felt that his own improvement was very small.
After thinking about it, he felt that finding someone to give him guidance was far better than touching an elephant by blind people.
Teacher Wu Gang said that he could teach him very little, so now he is about looking for other teachers in theaters. After considering his current connections, Zhao Yao is the only one who has the ability to guide him.
Director Zhao Yao is indeed awesome. Not only is the director good at it, but judging from the filming of "The Legend of the Lotus", he told several actors that he was not an actor, but he was more than enough to give advice to himself.
As for whether Zhao Yaoyan is willing to spend time on himself, that is another problem. It is not Chen Minhao's style because he is afraid of failure and does not try hard.
...........
Northern Xinjiang desert.
As soon as "The Legend of the Lotus" was aired, Zhao Yao had no time to go to the desert to shoot a new movie.
The conditions were difficult to film in the desert, but the actors cooperated well, so the shooting progress was pretty good. However, there was a problem with the theme song of the movie. The original theme song was planned by his old partner Wu Hongrong, but last time he encouraged Wu Hongrong to set up a studio and recruit new singers to train himself, Wu Hongrong had no time to make songs for himself.
This can be considered shooting oneself in the foot!
If the theme song of the movie is good, it can add a lot of color to the movie on the one hand. On the other hand, the theme song can also be used as a very effective means of publicity. However, the funding of the crew is very limited, so no famous artists are invited to create it.
The headache is that if you can't do it, you can only make it. Zhao Yao sighed, eliminated the distractions, and began to draw a storyboard where you will take the camera tomorrow.
"zzz~", the phone was vibrating. Zhao Yao glanced at the screen of the phone and it was Chen Minhao.
After Zhao Yao answered the phone.
Chen Minhao knew that Director Zhao must be busy, so he did not over-speak. He first congratulated Director Zhao, and then went straight to the topic and said that he was about to take the art exam, but he encountered difficulties in acting.
If Chen Minhao is just an ordinary new actor with potential, Zhao Yao might have just asked a few simple words and deal with it. How much he can understand depends on himself. But in addition to being a new actor, Chen Minhao is also a good singer and creator.
His theme song "The Lotus of the Band" "Xiaoyao Sigh" has added a lot of color to the TV series. A few days ago, he had a song called "Sweet", and many girls in the crew were singing in a low voice.
Zhao Yao originally asked the deputy director to inquire about the quotation for Chen Minhao's lyrics and compositions in the market, but the answer was far beyond the crew's budget, so Zhao Yao put off his idea of finding Chen Minhao.
Now I’m giving Chen Minhao a favor and giving him a discount to the theme song.
Thinking of this in my mind, Zhao Yao said readily: "Then I will tell you my understanding.
Take your role in "The Legend of the Lotus" as an example. Many people on the Internet praised you for your good performance, but in my opinion, your performance is not good enough.
Because you have never met Xiao Wangshu, you can only perform according to your own understanding. If this continues, you will still perform according to your own understanding in your next role. Over time, the actors you play will have your own label.
It’s not that this is not good, but the more you do this, the less the characters you perform.
The taste is less, when you play a beggar, the audience will think that Chen Minhao has become a beggar after seeing it, instead of forgetting that you are Chen Minhao, you only remember that you are a beggar. To perform the taste, you need to have a full understanding of the role you play. The less components you imagine, the more real the role you will be."
"You are going to take the exams at Peking University and Central Academy of Drama, right?" Zhao Yao snorted coldly and added: "Those academic schools like to watch students play the hardships of small people in society, so you have recently observed how small people live and work, such as waiters, migrant workers, and cleaners...
People of different identities have different words and deeds. You should first observe and watch. If you have any questions or ideas, you can call me."
A phone call lasted for nearly 40 minutes.
I have to say that the director Zhao Yao is still very interesting, and Chen Minhao regrets not turning on the recording.
Chen Minhao knew that the other party was so kind to him and might ask for something in the future. But in today's society, he was not afraid of others asking for him, but was afraid that he would be worthless in the eyes of others.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Minhao took a few deep breaths and recorded what director Zhao Yao said with a pen.
As for the focus of the school examination and assessment that Zhao Yao mentioned, Chen Minhao believed it. Because when Teacher Zhang taught his lines, he often used hungry farmers in the northwest and teenagers who dropped out of school to work in Foxconn to assess himself.
The next morning, Chen Minhao went out with sunglasses and a mask.
Chen Minhao originally wanted to go to the construction site to see it, but on the one hand, he did not allow himself to enter the construction site. On the other hand, most construction sites were shut down in winter.
Chen Minhao chose a cafe called "Cat in the Attic". After ordering a cappuccino, Chen Minhao sat in the corner and watched a male waiter.
All morning, Chen Minhao was watching him, seeing how he ordered orders for people, how he checked in cash, how he saw how he dealt with the broken cups of the guests, and how he stopped the guests who overrtured the cat.
The coffee shop was very quiet, and Chen Minhao's phone ringing suddenly rang, it was Kang Hui.
After Chen Minhao picked it up, Kang Hui said loudly:
"Chen Minhao, what are you doing?"
"A paparazzi sent me a set of photos, saying that you were staring at a male waiter in a coffee shop, and watched it all morning. The paparazzi said that he had also taken videos. If he didn't pay, he sent the video, saying that you were gay, and staring at a handsome male waiter in a coffee shop for all morning."
Chen Minhao subconsciously looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a baseball cap diagonally at the corner of his seat, and waved at him arrogantly.
Chen Minhao walked to the bathroom of the cafe, lowered his voice, and explained patiently: he called Director Zhao to ask for help, and then Director Zhao gave him detailed instructions, so he watched the male waiter's every move in the coffee shop.
Chapter completed!
