Chapter 2 My mentor is a bit of a cow

After winning the role, Cao Yu went directly back to King's College London. The reason why he returned here was that Cao Yu had a plan in mind.

Just like the domestic film and television industry, the foreign film and television industry is also full of strange things. There are all kinds of monsters, even in the academy. It's just that the environment in the academy is better than the outside environment.

Cao Yu's tutor at King's College London, Roman, was quite good to Cao Yu, so Cao Yu's situation has been more comfortable in recent years.

The reason why mentor Luo Man treats Cao Yu well is mainly because Cao Yu is usually sensible, hard-working and diligent.

There is nothing he can do. There is a soul in his thirties that has been tempered by society. Cao Yu can't be sensible, hardworking, and diligent.

Any teacher would like Cao Yu's style, so Cao Yu's mentor Luo Man has always taken great care of Cao Yu.

Cao Yu had been cast in many small roles and supporting roles in many movies before. Most of them were recommended by this mentor.

The reason why Cao Yu was able to audition for Harry Potter this time was because of the relationship his mentor found for Cao Yu. This level of care is no less than that of domestic mentors and apprentices.

Today, Cao Yu successfully won this role. No matter what, he must give good news to his mentor.

Cao Yu was familiar with the tutor Luo Man's family because he came here often. After ringing the doorbell and entering, Cao Yu put the fruit on the table in the living room and prepared to announce the good news.

Unexpectedly, the tutor Roman spoke first, "It seems that your interview was successful."

Because the surname Cao Yu is relatively rare abroad, and the pronunciation is easier for foreigners than Cao Yu's Yu, so Cao Yu's English name is Cao.

"Teacher, you know, the main reason is that director Chris Columbus appreciates my acting skills more." Cao Yu said this very skillfully. He answered the question of his mentor Roman, and secretly praised his mentor a little.

I admire Cao Yu's acting skills very much. Who taught Cao Yu's acting skills? It was of course Luo Man.

After listening to Cao Yu's words, a smile appeared on Roman's face. As a person who has been in the film and television industry for many years, he is not very wise, but he has still achieved the level of human spirit. Naturally, he listened to Cao Yu's implicit praise.

Got it.

"Tell me, little guy, you are not just here to announce the good news!" Instructor Luo Man got straight to the point. Obviously he knew that Cao Yu came here to ask for something.

"Hehe!" Cao Yu scratched the back of his head with his right hand and said that he was a good boy. Then under the questioning eyes of instructor Luo Man, he said the purpose of his trip: "This is the first time for students to star in such a big production. I want to work with him."

Teacher, please tell me how to perform well."

Cao Yu's question was even more tricky.

What Cao Yu is asking here is not how to act, but how to perform brilliantly.

Everyone can act, it just depends on the quality. Cao Yu is confident that after three years of study, and when he uses the temperament transformation function in the box office point drive system when acting, the quality of his acting skills can definitely reach 90%.

.

But the performance of an actor in a movie is not only about his acting skills, but also many other things.

The performance of an actor in a movie is a comprehensive consideration of the actor's acting skills, the actor's use of props, the cooperation between the actor and other actors, the actor's understanding of the director's requirements, the actor's understanding of the characters, etc.

Excellent acting skills alone are only equivalent to your excellent score in one subject in the college entrance examination, and cannot determine your overall college entrance examination score.

Cao Yu wanted to ask his mentor these questions on this trip.

The reason why Cao Yu's mentor never handed over to Cao Yu was not because he wanted to hide his secrets.

It's because most students don't have access to this kind of knowledge, because many students have never been exposed to film shooting in their entire lives.

Friendships are in vain, so in the past few years when Cao Yu had no chance to formally get involved in film production, Cao Yu's mentor did not make friends with Cao Yu.

After listening to Cao Yu's inquiry, Cao Yu's mentor Roman thought for a while, and then slowly said: "This question is too broad. I can't give you a specific answer. I can only talk about my own experience."

"You say."

"If you want to perform well, you need to pay attention to these aspects. First, understand your position. The protagonist is the protagonist, and the supporting role is the supporting role. The supporting role can never take away the charm of the protagonist. Otherwise, no matter how good your performance is, you will only be cut.

Drop it or remake it, do you understand?"

Cao Yu nodded, and his mentor Roman continued: "Second, discover the unique little moves of your character and turn this into a unique symbol of yourself in the movie. Remember, not too much, otherwise it will conflict with the first.

Already."

Cao Yu continued to nod and remembered his notes.

"Third, make good use of the props in the movie and design your own movements to make your character more attractive to the audience."

Hearing this, Cao Yu was a little confused. What did Severus Snape in Harry Potter do? He just moved his lips and commanded the wand twice!

How to design this?

Seeing Cao Yu's confusion, the instructor Luo Man explained with a smile: "I will give you an example that is easy for you to understand. Go back and watch Cheng Long's movies. Some of his small actions in the movie, such as eating chewing gum, wearing a hat, turning the page, etc.

Wall, these ordinary actions can give people a strange sense of beauty in his performance, adding a lot of points to the character."

After hearing his instructor's explanation, Cao Yu recalled some of his elder brother Cheng Long's classic films and found that it was really like this, and he didn't notice it usually.

But when he thought about it carefully, he discovered that Brother Cheng Long had many ordinary actions that stood out in his memory.

Perhaps due to his strong soul, Cao Yu's memory is exceptionally good, and he can recall even some movie scenes from his previous life very clearly.

He just recalled in his mind the actions of eating chewing gum, wearing a hat and climbing over the wall in Brother Cheng Long's movie, and soon these three scenes were played in Cao Yu's mind in a loop like using Tik Tok.

Not to mention, these actions are really magical.

"Of course, these are just theories. It's easy to say, but hard to do. It takes a long time of hard work and you can get some results by luck. You have to take your time." Instructor Luo Man saw that Cao Yu was thinking seriously and was afraid that Cao Yu would go back.

If the experiment does not succeed for a long time, I will be angry, so I will comfort you in advance.

"I know that nothing is easy. Thank you, instructor, for your comfort." Cao Yu said seriously.

Originally, Cao Yu thought that he had gained a lot today and was going to chat with his instructor before going back. Unexpectedly, his instructor Luo Man suddenly took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Cao Yu.

"What is this?" Cao Yu took the business card and asked in confusion.

Seeing Cao Yu's confused look, his mentor Roman laughed: "A gift to celebrate your upcoming entry into the film and television industry."

Cao Yu looked at both the front and back of the business card. However, the business card was very simple, with only a phone number and the name Sangfuni Padchi on the front. He continued to be confused.

Seeing Cao Yu's confusion, the instructor Roman continued to explain: "He is the president of Sony Colombia, and I have some personal connections. Recently, Sony is planning to shoot a movie, and the investment is quite large. It is no better than Harry Potter, which you just auditioned for."

Extremely bad.

Now the film is recruiting actors and needs a young actor. Since I work in an academy, I come into contact with many young actors, so he asked me to help him find one.

Originally I was hesitant to recommend you. After all, although I think your acting skills are good, you have never been affirmed by others. I am afraid that my judgment is too one-sided, but since you can perform in a movie like Harry Potter,

Getting a role in a high-level movie shows that you are indeed capable.

Then I can safely recommend you."

Tutor Roman's words shocked Cao Yu. Cao Yu couldn't close his mouth for a long time, "Teacher, I...".
