He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, as skinny as a monkey, and wears a baggy sweatshirt.
This was He Xin's first impression when he met Li Bing.
"Hey, buddy, are you the one who plays Xiaogui?"
Before He Xin could speak, Li Bing leaned against the wall crookedly, with a cigarette in his mouth, a scornful look, and opened his mouth with a mouthful of Beijing movies.
"Yes, you are Li Bing who plays Xiao Jian, right? My name is He Xin, hello!" He Xin said hello with a smile.
He didn't care about Li Bing's appearance as a middle school kid. There were kids like this all over the street.
"He Xin, this name sounds familiar."
Li Bing muttered and walked over to shake hands with him.
"Maybe there are still people with this name."
He Xin responded smoothly and looked at the room. Although it was a guest house, the conditions were not bad. There were two beds, a bedside table in the middle, and a 21-inch TV. There was no air conditioning, but there was a ceiling fan on the top, and there was an independent door at the door.
of bathroom.
Apparently Li Bing, who arrived first, had already occupied the bed near the window on the south side, so he conveniently placed the plastic bag in his hand on the other bed.
Li Bing glanced at the plastic bag containing clothes and towels, raised his head again, with an obvious sense of superiority on his face, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to He Xin.
"Are you from out of town?"
"Yeah, I'm from the Northeast."
"How old?"
"twenty."
"Oh, then you have to call me brother, brother, new brother!"
"You're welcome, how old are you..."
Before He Xin finished speaking, the child screamed: "Brother Xin! Damn it, I remembered it, He Xin, Brother Xin. Your name is that Hong Kong movie, why is it called Casino? Yes,
Casino tycoon! The one played by Andy Lau is called He Xin, the boss! People in the world call him Brother Xin! Let me tell you, no wonder it sounds so familiar!"
"Yeah, this is the first time I've heard of it."
He Xin, who was twenty years old, pretended to have the heart of a man in his forties, but he really couldn't get the excitement out of the middle school boy in front of him. Besides, he had never seen the movie.
"You haven't seen it? Starring Andy Lau and Alex Man, as well as Wang Zuxian and Qiu Shuzhen, it's really exciting... Oh, I was born in 1982 and I just turned 18 this year. From now on, I will call you my new brother."
Perhaps because of Liu Tianwang's influence, He Xin and Li Bing quickly became familiar with each other. This guy is a local, still studying in a vocational high school, and loves technical cycling. During the audition, he blended in with the crowd several times, and finally
Only then was she selected by Wang Xiaoshuai to play the role of Xiao Jian.
He and Li Bing were the first group of actors to come. Over the next two days, the main cast members gathered one after another, some familiar and some unfamiliar.
The person who plays Xiaogui's cousin Qiusheng is an actor from the Central Experimental Theater who graduated from Chinese Opera. He has a familiar face that will often appear in anti-Japanese dramas in the future. He is a rough guy, and his name is very literary.
My name is Li Mengnan, which sounds like a girl's name at first glance.
Of course, the one I am most familiar with is Gao Yuanyuan, who plays Xiaoxiao. She is a famous beauty! When he was ill in his previous life, He Xin still remembered that she was married to Wanwan and had just given birth to a daughter.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan was already well-known as the famous "Qing Mouth Girl". She was indeed very beautiful in person, with big eyes, a little baby fat, and a face full of collagen.
Speaking of which, He Xin was quite envious of Li Bing. In the play, this guy not only fell in love with Gao Yuanyuan, but also kissed her at the end.
The funniest thing is the actor who plays Xiaoxiao’s new boyfriend Dahuan. Isn’t this the guy selling jeans at the Zoo Clothing Market? He Xin bought the jeans from him.
As soon as I was introduced, I found out that this guy was the leader of this group of trick bikers. When Wang Xiaoshuai was looking for someone, he was the one who helped him. In the play, the classmates who played Xiao Jian and the gangsters under Da Huan included Li Bing.
Inside are his little brothers.
Although Li Mengnan and Gao Yuanyuan joined the cast, but looking at himself, Li Bing, the boss who was criticized and a group of ruffians, at first He Xin really doubted whether this was just a grassroots team.
However, he quickly gave up this idea because he realized that the name sounded familiar, and Wang Xiaoshuai, who he secretly labeled as a "low-class director", was actually quite awesome.
He has made several films before, all of which have won awards abroad. Last year, he made a film called "Dreamland" and won the Academy Award from the China Film Artists Association.
Although I have never seen or heard of any of the movies he made called He Xin.
"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is Wang Xiaoshuai's fifth work, produced by Beijing Film Studio. Especially when two foreigners from France appeared on the crew, He Xin, who had not seen much in his whole life, couldn't help but feel awe-struck.
respect.
Moreover, it is said that Director Wang plans to invite a big name to make a guest appearance as the nanny in the play. The specific big name is currently unknown.
The so-called script reading is not just about reading each person's lines. In addition to the actors, the production team, screenwriters, photographers, art and other behind-the-scenes personnel also participate.
Everyone reads and listens, and if anyone feels uncomfortable with a problem, he or she raises it, and the director and screenwriter discuss modifications with everyone.
At this time, He Xin got the real script. It not only contained the lines, but also the specific shooting scene settings, lighting, camera positions, actors' movements, etc.
How to turn on the lights, how to position the camera, and art design, etc. He Xin couldn't understand these professional things, but many of the scenes set up by the director in the script were not much different from the scenes he imagined.
, or that they have something in common.
Of course, after reviewing most of the settings described in the script, I suddenly realized that the director's idea was obviously more brilliant.
While reading aloud, He Xin suddenly discovered a problem.
Even though he had made a lot of preparations before, using the tone, rhythm, and even facial expressions of his lines, the sound he read was not the same as Li Mengnan's lines.
It's not that his voice is unpleasant, nor that Li Mengnan's lines are so rich and mellow, but it still feels a bit awkward and doesn't seem to be on the same channel.
But when he and Li Bing were dubbing, there was no such situation. And when Li Bing and actor Zhao Yiwei, who played Xiao Jian's father, were dubbing, He Xin miraculously discovered that they also had the same awkwardness.
Zhao Yiwei also graduated from China National Theater, and both he and Li Mengnan came from the Central Experimental Theater.
He Xin noticed that Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to have discovered this problem, but he didn't say anything. Maybe it was within his tolerance, or he had expected this to happen.
He Xin didn't say a word. After he came down, he tried to imitate how they said the lines, but no matter how he imitated, it just didn't feel the same.
He is actually quite a simple person, he only wants to do this job well, but once his mind is blocked and blocked by things, he will be in bad shape.
After a few days of getting along, with He Xin's conscious welcome, the relationship with Li Mengnan was finally getting along well. Seeing that the heat was almost over, I took advantage of my free time that night and quickly took him to a small restaurant near the guest house.
After eating two hard dishes and two glasses of wine, He Xin explained his confusion.
"Haha! Where are you going?"
Li Mengnan was happy when he heard it. He tapped him with his chopsticks and said, "Do you think our tongue can be imitated casually? Ours is a real boy's skill. We have been practicing it for several years."
"Brother, then you can tell me!" He Xin said hurriedly.
"I'm telling you..."
Seeing He Xin's humbly asking for advice and being so sincere, Li Mengnan started chatting.
Learning to act is not an easy task. In Li Mengnan’s words, when he was a student at China National Theater Academy, he would do morning exercises at around six o’clock in the morning, open his voice, move his body, practice his voice, his voice, and his words.
, tongue twisters, such as Eight Hundred Pacesetters Running to the North Slope, etc.
As the grades go up, there will be homework, monologues, poems, essays, dialogues, etc., which must be completed before breakfast. In the evening, there will be homework, which is sketches or scripts, and it is often done until midnight or even early in the morning.
Something.
"...So acting is a very specialized knowledge. It is not something superficial like making an expression or doing an action as you think. To learn acting, you must go hand in hand with lines, vocals, body and performance.
It’s what we usually call the so-called sound stage list.”
"You see, for example, when I usually perform in a drama group, I have to face hundreds or thousands of audiences on the stage. I have to say my lines so that the audience can hear them clearly and understand them.
, expressive and charming. There is a jargon saying: If you have a gifted voice, you must work hard on your mouth. That is to say, if the voice is not trained, it will not have a sonorous feeling. "
