On the way back from the hospital, Liu Yifei was silent all the time, her eyes wandering to the sky, sometimes in a trance and sometimes sober.
Chu Xuan's words in the hospital touched her heart and filled the gap that she had never imagined or dared to imagine.
Subconsciously, the horizons are broadened, the imagination is expanded, and the logical thinking ability is strengthened.
She is currently absorbing the knowledge points given by Chu Xuan, analyzing, understanding, and transforming them into her own things.
Chu Xuan took one look at Liu Yifei's state and knew that she was currently immersed in her own world, thinking and studying, and would not be disturbed.
It was the first time Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter in such a trance, and she frowned for a moment, feeling worried.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan took out his mobile phone from his purse and sent a text message to Liu Xiaoli in the nanny car, explaining the cause and effect.
Liu Xiaoli looked at the text message sent by Chu Xuan, and it was just as she guessed. Her daughter Xixi encountered difficulties in filming, so Chu Xuan took her daughter for experiential teaching.
But, is this really good?
[Auntie, if Sissi’s understanding and expression skills cannot be improved to a higher level, then the micro-movies produced will not meet the quality standards set by the teachers. Not to mention that the teachers are dissatisfied, Sissi herself will have to be stronger. She herself
I won’t be satisfied either.】
[Every truly good actor will go through a state like Sissi’s now and a process of self-realization. Back then, I had to carry an orphan, but now with the two of us here, she will be fine.]
[The talent of an actor, I personally refer to the control of emotions. Emotional control cannot be truly learned and controlled. It really depends on the talent. But the sense of belief can be cultivated through constant imagination-
Believe, imagine - belief can grow infinitely, anyone can.】
[Although Sissi is only 18 now, after several years of acting experience, at least her expression and control of emotions are pretty good. If she can make further breakthroughs, her expressive ability will be a big step ahead of other actors of the same age.
Cut. This is a process of progress and her own pursuit.】
[It is also because Sissi is only 18 now, with an uncomplicated heart and a simple mind, so this is the stage where she can quickly improve her self-abilities. If she has experienced too much in a few years, it may be difficult to calm down and hone these skills.
】
[At this stage, she has laid a solid foundation for these advanced skills, and during the two years of studying in the United States, she has laid a solid foundation for acting. Then even if her mind becomes complicated due to complicated trivial matters in the future, with a solid foundation by her side, she can still improve and
Improvement, but if there is no foundation, then she will just stand still.】
Looking at the text message sent by Chu Xuan, everything was thinking about her daughter; looking at her daughter who was still in a daze, all showing hard work and strength; and thinking about the gap between her daughter and Chu Xuan in performance, but these two children
They are also walking the path of mutual achievement.
At this point, Liu Xiaoli suppressed her worries and chose to stand on Chu Xuan's side, supporting her daughter's pursuit from the bottom of her heart with him.
--hotel.
Liu Xiaoli ordered food, and Liu Yifei followed Chu Xuan and her mother to eat dinner.
Xu Shimei brought Liu Yifei back to her senses and opened up some conversation, and they exchanged a few words normally during the meal.
After just one meal, Liu Yifei returned to the state in the nanny's car, sitting on the sofa with the script, reading and thinking.
She also knew that Chu Xuan and her mother deliberately did not disturb her, and Chu Xuan and her mother must understand her.
She actually wanted to explain it to Chu Xuan and her mother, but she didn't know how to describe what she was thinking right now.
This feeling is amazing.
The legendary epiphany?
She doesn't know either.
Anyway, I know what I'm thinking, but I just don't know how to explain it.
Chu Xuan's advice seemed to open up her joints, making her suddenly feel that she was about to step into the threshold of a real actor, not a star actor.
It's just that the foot I stepped forward is still jumping sideways on the edge of the threshold, because the belief in my heart disappears and reappears in an instant.
When the sense of belief disappeared, she became sober. When the sense of belief came, she was in a daze and felt very uncomfortable.
She realized why Chu Xuan said it would be uncomfortable to step into someone else's world.
It’s strange that it’s not uncomfortable to treat insubstantial things as targets and inject unwarranted emotions into your heart.
At the same time, she also truly understood why teachers such as Teacher Ji Chunhua, Teacher Lan Tianye, and Teacher Kong Ling arrived at the filming location early when filming "Dragon", "The Condor" and "Zhu Xian".
None of the crew members arrived, but the teachers arrived first.
In the past, she thought the teachers were there just to see the scenery, but now she understands that the teachers were taking advantage of the scenery to get into the world of the characters as quickly as possible.
And Chu Xuan's teaching to her today was exactly guiding her to move closer to the interpretation direction of these teachers, so as to become a real actor.
What makes her happy is that she has an advantage that most actors don't have, that is, she has been a producer.
When an actor understands a script, he basically starts with understanding his own characters and then moves on to understanding the plot.
Having gone through the stage of script coordination and learning, she can understand the characters and then the plot from the perspective of the entire world. She has one more perspective than other actors, which also increases the breadth of viewing the script.
Just like the example Chu Xuan gave in the hospital, first imagine a world, then treat the patient as a clone, then observe the behavior of the clone, and imagine his life through his behavior.
This is her advantage, and the teaching Chu Xuan gave her perfectly combines this advantage.
"Go to sleep."
Liu Xiaoli's sudden shout suddenly woke up Liu Yifei who was immersed in her own world.
She raised her hand and looked at her watch, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening before she knew it.
Sure enough, time flies when you are immersed in one thing.
Liu Yifei put the script on the coffee table, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, put on her pajamas and went to bed.
Just before going to bed, she used her advantage and combined with the characters in the script to start an in-depth analysis of the characters.
The heroine Liu Qian...
Clones...
I didn’t know that I was a clone at first…
In the initial stages of learning about human life…
Human life makes her yearn for...
When she knew she was a clone, she fell into silence as if her faith was broken...
And what does human cloning look like?
What is the difference between clones and humans?
After Liu Xiaoli turned off the room light, Liu Yifei lay on her side on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
She recalled the patient she saw in the hospital in the afternoon. The patient was bathing in the sun and looked very normal. She could even feel a warmth from this patient as if he was embracing the sun.
However, as Chu Xuan said, the temperament exuded by this patient told all normal people that he was not normal.
You can feel both warmth and abnormality without any sense of disobedience. This is really an Oscar-winning actor-level sense of character.
No wonder Chu Xuan's acting skills are so good. It is probably because Chu Xuan has a deep understanding of the ever-changing spiritual world of these patients.
Her boyfriend is too strong, so she has to work harder. She also has a small goal in her mind that no one knows about, which is to one day surpass Chu Xuan in acting.
Hum, boyfriend, you don’t know that you are my little target, right?
Liu Yifei felt a little nervous in her heart, and her divergent thoughts were withdrawn.
My thoughts return to just now. I can feel both warmth and abnormality. How can I interpret such a sense of character?
With such thoughts, she filmed in the morning, went to listen to Chu Xuan's teaching in the afternoon, and spent her energy meditating for a long time in the evening, and fell asleep without knowing it.
The moon hangs on the branches and spreads clear light through the windows.
Two small, even breathing sounds proved that the two people were sleeping peacefully.
But I don’t know how long it took, and suddenly there was a sound of breathing that gradually became rapid——
[There are row upon row of buildings, and the sky is full of flying cars flying between high-altitude buildings. The virtual traffic lights in the sky are flashing. Under the command of the air police, the flying cars stop in front of the virtual red lights in the sky.
I raised my head and looked curiously at this extremely new thing. Then I turned my head and looked left and right. There were many virtual beauties promoting themselves on the street. These beauties stretched out their fingers and drew a circle in the air, and a virtual image appeared.
Screen, on the screen is advertising copy.
I gathered around enthusiastically and looked at the copy on the virtual screen with the crowd of onlookers.
However, when the onlookers looked at me, they had different expressions and dispersed in a hurry.
Even the virtual beauties were surprised when they saw me.
What's wrong?
Why are you all looking at me like this?
I felt baffled and was wandering around casually when I accidentally saw a clothing store on the roadside.
This clothing store is so magical. All the clothes float in the air and fall down when customers click on them.
I wanted to take a look with great interest, but the clerk in the clothing store yelled at me: "Get out! You are not welcome here!"
I'm confused, what's going on, why don't you welcome me?
I felt so wronged and walked forward with my head shrugged.
In my peripheral vision, people passing by me were moving away from me, and people in the distance were pointing at me.
I suddenly feel as if the whole world hates me?
what is happening?
Suddenly, a figure from behind appeared in front of me. It felt so familiar.
I don’t know why, but I started to chase after him.
However, the person in front suddenly started running.
I was chasing him, and he was running. He was obviously running very fast, but he seemed to be just a few steps ahead of me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up.
"Don't run!" I panted.
"Why are you chasing me!" The man turned his head.
I saw his face clearly, it was Chu Xuan! My boyfriend!!
"Chu Xuan! Don't run!" I shouted eagerly.
Chu Xuan looked disgusted and suddenly shouted: "Don't come over here! You clone!!"]
Liu Yifei opened her eyes suddenly, gasped for air, then stood up and buried her head in the quilt, the fear and panic on her face slowly calmed down.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoli just got out of bed.
It was almost seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already bright.
"I am a clone." Liu Yifei buried her head in the quilt and muttered.
Liu Xiaoli was stunned, quickly put on her shoes, sat down beside her daughter's bed, stretched out her hand to caress her back, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Are you having a nightmare?"
My daughter stood up suddenly and kept panting. Combined with her unreasonable words, it was obvious that she was having a nightmare.
"Chu Xuan doesn't want me anymore." Liu Yifei turned half of her face from her head buried in the quilt.
Seeing her daughter's pitiful look, Liu Xiaoli gently stroked her back again, then stood up and said, "Wait, I'll call him."
——Suite opposite.
Chu Xuan was in the living room, wearing a black vest and sitting and doing push-ups.
As he rose and fell, the muscle lines on his arms also tightened.
He didn't know how many times he had done it, but some sweat had already appeared on his forehead and dripped to the ground.
At this time, a "dong dong dong" knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Chu Xuan took a deep breath, jumped up with his legs together, wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder, and immediately opened the door.
"Good morning, aunt." He said to Liu Xiaoli outside the door.
Liu Xiaoli raised her forehead slightly and said, "It's all because of you. Your girlfriend has a nightmare."
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Having a nightmare?"
"She said she was a clone, and she also said you don't want her anymore." Liu Xiaoli recounted Liu Yifei's words after her dream.
Chu Xuan made a "puff" sound, laughed dumbly, and walked into the opposite suite with Liu Xiaoli.
On the bed, Liu Yifei's legs were bent together, her hands were wrapped around her legs, and her head was buried in the quilt covering her legs.
Her breathing had stabilized, and the rush of emotions caused by the nightmare had also calmed down.
Hearing the movement outside, she raised her head, resting her chin between her legs, looking at Chu Xuan who walked in, looking at him playfully.
"What nightmare did you have?" Chu Xuan asked gently, sitting down by the bed.
Liu Yifei lay on her legs, looked at Chu Xuan from the side, and said: "I forgot a lot, but I remember that I appeared in a very sci-fi city, and people on the street looked at me strangely.
"I felt aggrieved, and then I ran after you. You were obviously in front of me, but I couldn't catch up. Then I asked you why you were running. You told me not to come over, saying that I was a clone, and that you were very
hate me."
Hearing Liu Yifei briefly describe her dream, Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, I can imagine a world and a short period of life in my dreams. That's progress." He said.
Faced with Chu Xuan's teasing, Liu Yifei's eyes bulged, she pursed her lips, then picked up a pillow and hit him.
Chu Xuan didn't resist and let her smash him.
After Liu Yifei put down the pillow, she shrugged, then leaned over and spread her arms to hug Chu Xuan.
"I feel a little uncomfortable right now. All I can think about is human cloning, the lingering kind." She said while lying in Chu Xuan's arms.
She has been thinking about the script since she left the hospital yesterday. She was also thinking about it when she returned to the hotel and even when she was sleeping. It all gave her nightmares, causing her to have some psychological shadow now.
"Normal." Chu Xuan patted her back, rested his chin on her head, and said, "Every actor will go through this process when they deeply assume the role for the first time."
Liu Yifei nodded, she naturally understood this truth.
Although there is a psychological shadow, we must continue to walk in the direction of the shadow.
When the shadows became normal, she felt that she had the character she wanted.
Liu Yifei looked up from Chu Xuan's arms, blinked and said, "I understand why you were so uncomfortable when you played Guan Xuan. You really imagined yourself to be a psychopath."
Chu Xuan gradually raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Fortunately, you helped me recover quickly."
Liu Yifei stretched out her hand and scratched Chu Xuan's nose and said, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to act like this. Although it's just a preliminary attempt, it also made me feel the power of a real actor."
If Chu Xuan wasn't around, she really wouldn't have the courage to distort her acting mood.
Yes, she believes that imagining other people's worlds and injecting other people's emotions is distorting herself.
But with Chu Xuan here and Chu Xuan's love for her, she could try it without hesitation.
She knew that Chu Xuan would not watch her get hurt.
"Get up, your mother went to buy breakfast." Chu Xuan patted Liu Yifei on the back.
Liu Yifei nodded, got out of Chu Xuan's arms, smoothed the hair around her ears with both hands, then got out of bed, put on her shoes and walked towards the bathroom.
Chu Xuan slowly followed up and watched Liu Yifei wash up.
Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan behind her in the mirror. She was brushing her teeth and said in a straight tone: "The expression is normal, but the feeling is not normal. It's just like your shooting state yesterday, and it's also like the patient's state yesterday afternoon. What's going on?
How can I do it? I have the emotion to substitute, but I can’t find a specific method to substitute the character.”
Chu Xuan took a step forward, put his hands on Liu Yifei's shoulders, looked at the mirror with her, and said: "Looking at past film and television dramas, when some actors express emotions, their facial expressions and eyes are matching. For example,
When an actor smiles, the actor's eyes are probably also spreading a smile."
Liu Yifei stopped brushing her teeth, thought for a while, then continued brushing her teeth, nodded and said: "Yes, the face is smiling, and the eyes are smiling; the face is sad, and the eyes are sad; the face is murderous, and the eyes are murderous... all of them
supplementary."
Chu Xuan kneaded Liu Yifei's shoulders and said: "The emotional facial expressions and eyes of us humans are all sensed through touch, vision, taste and other senses, and then subconscious commands are given to the limbs through the brain nerves.
After receiving this command, we can feel happy, angry, sad and happy, and express these emotions with expressions or movements."
Liu Yifei stopped brushing her teeth, put the toothbrush in her mouth, and prepared to listen carefully.
Chu Xuan added: "But the speed of nerves transmitting commands is sequential. First there are emotions in the eyes, then there are emotions on the face, and finally there are body movements. So from a neurological perspective, we look at an actor's emotional performance, such as a smile.
Without human control, it must be the eyes that smile first, the face next, and then the body movements."
Liu Yifei nodded and continued to listen.
Chu Xuan continued: "Let's not talk about body movements, let's talk about eyes and facial expressions. According to what I just said, facial expressions change with the changes in eyes. This is a normal and subconscious emotion for us humans.
The way of expression is also the way actors show their normal emotions, and the audience is accustomed to it."
Liu Yifei thought for a while, recalling some memorable film and television scenes, and found that most actors' eyes did change first, and then their facial expressions followed.
"The above is the normal emotional performance method. If you want to perform in an abnormal way, of course you have to do it in the opposite way." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei blinked: "The other way around?"
Chu Xuan put down one hand, put one hand on Liu Yifei's shoulder, and said: "For example, your face is smiling, but your eyes are crying. For example, your face is dissatisfied, but your eyes are smiling. These are unconventional ways of expressing emotions.
, under the multiple presentations that match the character, it is the core method to personalize and complicate the character, which is the sense of character.”
"I understand!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she had a clear understanding.
She turned on the faucet, filled the wash cup with water, put the toothbrush in the wash cup and washed it together, then took off the washcloth and started washing her face.
She was so lucky to have Chu Xuan, who was better than the teachers in school and could always give her great inspiration with just a few words.
This is my boyfriend!
Liu Yifei felt arrogant for a moment, but after she wet the washcloth with hot water, she paused again.
"But in yesterday's photoshoot, your eyes and expressions matched the usual routine. I looked at you smiling, but it just didn't feel normal," she said.
"First learn unconventional emotional expressions, practice the corresponding temperament through the inconsistency of eyes and expressions, and then remember this state. Then use this temperament and state to show it through conventional emotional expressions. If you can express this
If you can easily switch between the two methods, you will reach the highest level of performance in the second stage of the actor's performance," said Chu Xuan.
"Understood!" Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, turned around with a washcloth, wiped her face and pouted: "Why didn't you teach me earlier? In the past, you only taught me the basics of vocal table form."
Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "If you don't have the basics of table-shaped tables, you won't understand these advanced things if I tell you. There is no thinking logic and imagination space in this area. Besides, the most basic things are not
Learn, learn advanced things first, this is not a good thing."
Liu Yifei nodded, covering her face with a washcloth and scrubbing.
"Moreover, these skills are all based on a sense of belief so that they can be used appropriately. If I had taken you to a mental hospital when you were fifteen or sixteen and then taught you these skills, your mother would probably beat me to death," Chu Xuan said.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei, who was washing her face with a towel, suddenly laughed. At that time, her mother did not approve of Chu Xuan. If Chu Xuan really wanted to take her to a mental hospital, then her mother would really be furious.
"While Kino and the others are shooting CG scenes these days, we need to find out the sense of faith. I'll find it with you," Chu Xuan said again.
Liu Yifei took off the towel, turned around and turned on the faucet to wash the towel, then hung it on the stainless steel metal rod.
When she heard that Chu Xuan was looking for a sense of faith with her, she turned around, hugged Chu Xuan, stood on tiptoe, kissed him, and said, "Help each other!"
"It's necessary." Chu Xuan said warmly.
Liu Yifei blinked softly, then turned to face the mirror and said, "I want to experience how to express unconventional emotional performances."
Chu Xuan was stunned and said: "This thing needs to be experienced by oneself, it cannot be achieved at once."
Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, shook her body coquettishly, and said, "You must have a way, my boyfriend is the most powerful!"
Hearing her such praise, Chu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
He looked at Liu Yifei in the mirror, with thoughts in his eyes, and then said: "Smile, and then keep it."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei did as she was told, the corners of her mouth gradually curved, and she smiled lightly in the mirror.
"Look at yourself carefully. Are your eyes smiling?" Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei looked at herself in the mirror. As Chu Xuan said, her face and eyes were smiling, so she nodded.
"Close your eyes and keep smiling." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei did as she was told and closed her eyes, but her facial expression remained unchanged.
"One day, you found me with another woman."
Liu Yifei's expression changed, and she realized that Chu Xuan was telling a story, and her smile slowly returned to her face.
"I kissed this woman in front of you, completely ignoring your existence."
"No matter how much you cry or scold, I will ignore you, and this woman makes no secret of your ridicule."
"Finally, under your heart-wrenching and hateful gaze, I put my arms around this woman's waist and walked away."
Although Liu Yifei knew that Chu Xuan was telling a story, Chu Xuan's line skills have always been of a high level. When Chu Xuan's voice tells this kind of story, it gives a strong sense of immersion.
Even though she knew it was false, she felt very uncomfortable.
Because she cares too much, she cannot accept such false stories.
"Open your eyes." Chu Xuan said.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes. The smile on her face did not change, but her eyes changed.
"Very good." Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "It would be more perfect if the murderous look in his eyes could be restrained!"
Liu Yifei turned to look at Chu Xuan, raised her fist and hit him on the chest.
"I want to beat you to death!" she pouted.
Chu Xuan opened his smile, hugged her, and said: "It's you who gave me the problem. Emotions are something you always want. The only person who can influence you and make you feel emotional immediately is your mother."
It’s with me. But it’s not polite to use your mother as an example, so I can only do this.”
Liu Yifei expressed her understanding, and her momentary anger passed away.
She left Chu Xuan's arms and turned to face the mirror again, recalling the situation just now, but she couldn't do it anyway.
She knows that this is the reason why she has not adapted to this kind of performance, and it is also the reason why she has not accumulated enough experience.
"The expression and look in your eyes just now, really, you can play the role of the female devil. The smile on your face is beautiful, the eyes are murderous, super evil." Chu Xuan joked.
Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing, holding the white washbasin with both hands.
"I think in our magic plan, we can design a character like this for you. I think it will be even more charming than Little Dragon Girl." Chu Xuan continued to joke.
"I want to design it myself!" Liu Yifei raised her hand.
Just at this moment, Liu Xiaoli came in with breakfast.
"Come for dinner!" Her voice came from the living room.
Chu Xuan turned around and walked out. Liu Yifei jumped up playfully and jumped on Chu Xuan's back.
Just like that, Chu Xuan carried her out and walked out.
