Chapter 6 What is Acting
Gao Hu and Chen Gang's performance on the second day really surprised the director. Compared with yesterday, the two of them seemed to have made great progress in their acting skills. I really don't know how they did it. Today, their performance made the director and the editor feel that they seemed to be better than the protagonist's performance. Of course, they would not say these words directly. It was not until lunch that the director called Chen Gang over and asked, "Xiao Chen, I remember you seem to be living in the same room with Gao Hu."
"Uh, yeah, director, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No, I just want to ask if you guys are having sex together tonight. I see that you two have made great progress in performance today, especially Gao Hu."
"Yes, director, Gao Hu and I are acting for the first time. We have no experience. In order not to drag the crew down, we arranged the show until 1 o'clock last night."
"Not bad, not bad, both of you are good. If you want to be a good actor, you must endure hardships and do it well. I'll be optimistic about you." The director said with relief.
In the following days, Chen Gang and Gao Hu were discovered by the people in the crew. Most actors, especially some actors who were not famous at all, began to find people to play together like Chen Gang and others. Even the heroine Cao Ying and the second female lead Wang Tong came to Chen Gang to play. To be honest, Chen Gang didn't know how others view acting skills. But in Chen Gang's own opinion, acting skills were nothing more than the roles he brought into the script and the lives of the characters in the script. Chen Gang was a businessman in that era, of course, learned to talk to people, talk to ghosts, and learn to get along with different people with masks. Chen Gang felt that this should be an acting skill, or a kind of acting skill. During the filming these days, Chen Gang also carefully observed the performances of others. He originally wanted to steal the skills, but after a few days of observation, he felt that in addition to
Apart from those older actors, the so-called acting skills of the other young actors were not very good. At least in his opinion, the performances of others were too heavy and too pretentious. Just like a child who had not grown up pretending to be an adult, he felt like a young man was not aware of the taste of sorrow and forced to say sorrow to write new words. Chen Gang felt that in this regard, he had an advantage over them. At least he had a mental age of dozens, and had more life experiences than them, and he had experienced many ups and downs than them. People in his decades, both in terms of behavior and psychological quality, were far more than these people in his 20s. Of course, Chen Gang would definitely not say these words. He could only hold them in his heart and secretly rejoice alone, hoping that he still had hope of becoming a star and daydreaming to be a star.
Thanks to Chen Gang and Gao Hu, the actors in the crew have made different progress, which has greatly accelerated the filming process. The director and editor are also very satisfied with the actors' performance, and by the way, they are also very satisfied with Chen Gang's performance, and their impressions are getting better and better. Of course, Chen Gang's relationship with other actors in the crew has also been strengthened. At least everyone doesn't hate Chen Gang, and Chen Gang thinks this is his biggest gain. After all, he still has to make a living in this circle in the future. If he doesn't have a good reputation, it will definitely not be easy to make a living in the future. In this way, three months passed quickly and the drama was completed. At the final banquet, Chen Gang and Gao Hu both drank too much, or most people drank too much.
Back in the basement where he had been away for more than three months, under the dim light, Chen Gang carefully hid the script in the box. This was his first script. Chen Gang believed that it was definitely not his last script. After calming down and lying on the bed to calm down, Chen Gang began to consider whether he should continue to be an extra. After all, in this era, the film and television industry is not too developed, and there are not many opportunities for filming. It can be said that it is difficult to get the opportunity to act by auditions alone, and the pay is not high. I can't just stay in the basement alone when I have no acting. But my stocks will take about half a year to gain. I can't just be idle in the past six months. In addition, I have spent a lot of money to invite others to dinner in the crew and count the money in my pockets. Not counting the pay, there are only more than 1,000 left.
I plan to invest in the stock market for a movie, which means that I only have more than 1,000 yuan in my living expenses in the past six months. Although more than 1,000 yuan is enough for my life for half a year. But the problem is that I cannot always live a tight life, and I cannot treat myself too badly, right? Besides, I am still growing up now. If I can’t keep up with my nutrition, I may not be taller. No, I still have to find something to do. After thinking about it, Chen Gang still thinks he should sing. Chen Gang saw on the Internet of that era that Mr. Zhou, Huang Bo, Wu Xiubo and others have sang in bars, so he can. During this filming, the reason why the director let himself participate in the acting was because he was okay to sing, so he did it. I went to try it tomorrow. At worst, it was just that others looked down on me, and he would not suffer any loss anyway.
The next afternoon, after washing the dirty clothes he changed, Chen Gang took the bus to Houhai. The reason for coming to this place was not that there were no bars in other places in Beijing, but that Chen Gang had seen it on the Internet in that era, as if it were Mr. Zhou, Wu Xiubo, Huang Bo and others were singing in a bar called the rich man in Houhai. It is said that the owner of this bar is pretty good and kind. When he was just a first-timer, he must find a suitable place. You can't accidentally run to the territory of the underworld.
