"An Actor's Self-cultivation" did not teach Li Qing acting skills, but it made Li Qing understand what an actor is and gave Li Qing a general direction in his pursuit of an actor.
Play is like life, life is like play.
If you want to be a good actor, you must deeply understand the character's life in every play.
When an actor understands a role deeply enough, no matter which profession he performs, he will be able to do it very well.
With this understanding in mind, the day after Li Qing returned to the capital, he put aside everything and went to the acting department of the Beijing Academy of Drama to attend.
Many people were surprised by Li Qing's arrival, but they didn't ask much.
Because there are many photography plays, there are also celebrities among the students in the Directing Department. When they have nothing to do, they will also come to the Performance Department to listen in to enhance their understanding of drama.
The same is true for students majoring in acting. Those who are interested often go to the photography and directing departments to increase their experience in related fields.
Freshman class in the Department of Acting.
The lecturer of this class is named Wang Tao. He is standing on the podium and vividly describing the basic skills of the acting major. This is also a course that every acting student must listen to.
The basic skills of the acting profession focus on voice, stage, form, and expression. These are also the four main elements to observe candidates during the art exam.
Wang Tao was in his early thirties, very young, and looked not much older than the students. He didn't pay much attention to Li Qing's arrival, and he continued to ask questions about "Qi Sheng Zi" on the podium as if they were scripted.
This belongs to the development of basic line skills, which can be roughly divided into "abdominal vocalization training", "monophonic vocalization training", "initial consonant vocalization training", and "phoneme transition training". In the final exam, tongue twisters are usually used
Present the test as a carrier.
Qualified students will basically solve the accent problem. As long as they find the right place to pronounce the words, their pronunciation and pronunciation will change greatly.
Li Qing was still very interested and enthusiastic when he first sat in to listen.
But before waiting for half an hour, Li Qing was a little disappointed.
The lecturer's lectures were indeed good and sounded very professional. However, the lectures were too simple, and most of them were inseparable from the basic skills of actors. For Li Qing, who was about to join the crew, it was not that they were not needed, but that they were simply not enough.
After some inquiring, Li Qing found out that in the two years from the first to the second year of the performance department, they basically studied the four basic skills of stage form and instrumentation. Basically, they studied a lot of theory. If you want to get real
As for the explanation of acting skills, I'm afraid I have to wait until my junior year.
At this moment, Li Qing understood the meaning of Wang Jiachen's words. The crew is the best place to quickly exercise an actor's strength.
The enthusiasm brought by "The Actor's Self-cultivation" seemed to be poured with cold water at this moment.
There happened to be a schedule to deal with in the afternoon. After patiently listening to the lecturer Wang Tao's explanation in this class, Li Qing packed up and left the school.
What Li Qing didn't know was that in the corner of the class, Yi Xueliang, the first-year head teacher of the Performance Department, was paying close attention to him.
When the course was finished and Li Qing left, Yi Xueliang snorted coldly: "It's hard to achieve great results."
Wang Tao came to him with a book in his arms. Hearing Yi Xueliang's tone, he followed his line of sight and saw Li Qing's leaving back. He couldn't help but smile and said: "He really has a lot of experience in acting."
He has a lot of enthusiasm, but he seems to be a little eager for quick success. From the second half of the class, his eyes become a little impatient, but he has good perseverance and can persist in listening to the whole class, which can be regarded as serious."
Yi Xueliang said in surprise: "You think highly of him?"
Wang Tao said with a smile: "Some people are born to eat this kind of rice, but they just find the wrong direction to walk. He started out as a singer, and his appearance is very good. Now he has such a great reputation, and he has qualities that are difficult for ordinary actors to match."
With his innate conditions, entering this industry will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. As long as he is willing to study hard, it will not be difficult for him to achieve success in acting."
Yi Xueliang was silent for a while and then said: "Actually, there are many people like him in the circle. You are right. He just found the wrong direction. For a person like him who rose from the wilderness, the place he should go to is not the temple.
, but Jianghu."
When Li Qing returned to the company, he saw Guo Rui, the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Literature" squatting beside the bus stop on the side of the road smoking.
Guo Rui's eyes were bloodshot and his skin was slightly dry. He was completely different from the relaxed and relaxed mood half a month ago. His expression was full of anxiety. While smoking, he would look at the Fujin office building opposite from time to time.
Li Qing drove the car slowly to the bus stop, lowered the window and looked at Guo Rui: "Mr. Guo?"
Guo Rui withdrew his gaze from a distance and looked at Li Qing who appeared in front of him. His dull eyes became filled with surprise: "Oh, Li, Li Qing? You...are you back?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "I just came back last night. I heard that you were looking for me?"
"Eh? Eh! Yes, I'm looking for you!"
Guo Rui stood up, flicked the cigarette into the trash can next to him, and then said nervously: "Mr. Li, can you find a place to talk with me?"
The place where Li Qing and Guo Rui talked was set at a nearby cafe.
"Mr. Li, I know you are busy, so I will keep the story short."
Guo Rui poured a cup of warm coffee into his mouth, then picked up the tablecloth and wiped the corners of his mouth. He said with earnest eyes: "I am willing to pay a thousand words for the simplified Chinese publishing rights of "The Three-Body Problem".
Buy it!”
"A thousand words for a thousand words?" Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "It's too low."
"Listen to me!" Guo Rui said hurriedly: "A thousand words and a thousand words is just the price of serialization. If you want to publish it in a book, we are willing to give you the royalty rate of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"."
Li Qing was immediately tempted.
The royalty rate of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is 31%. This royalty rate can be said to be the most outstanding thing in the entire cultural circle. Even Li Qing dare not say whether the royalty rate of his next book will be that high. The key is
Let’s look at the sales of “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”.
As long as the sales volume reaches the target, it will not be difficult to maintain this royalty rate in the future.
But similarly, once the sales volume does not meet the requirements, it will definitely be more difficult to obtain such a high royalty rate in the future, not to mention cutting it in half.
According to the news from the Tang Dynasty Publishing House, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City" has received an ISBN. All preparations have been completed and printing is in progress. The publication date is set for December 28, with one or two weeks left.
When the time comes, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse when you pull it out and run around.
But after thinking about it carefully, Li Qing still shook his head.
