This star doesn’t work overtime

Chapter 336 334. Free play? How to act out mental illness?

Three dramas?

Wang Cheng put down the notebook in his hand, looked up at the stage, and then looked at director Huang Ping. He did not speak, but looked at Huang Ping calmly.

Huang Ping felt a lot of pressure. He had no previous experience in dealing with people with Wang Cheng's personality. Facing Wang Cheng's calm eyes, he continued: "Teacher Zhang and Teacher Wu selected three dramas through text exchanges. It’s more suitable for performances. They are all classic film and television works from 20 years ago that everyone remembers!”

"A classic crime movie Black and White Memories, a rural life movie Xi Niang, and a police drama Dark Poison!"

Huang Ping also wanted to introduce three works in detail.

Wang Cheng said casually: "They can just choose!"

Huang Ping seemed not surprised by Wang Cheng's answer and said quickly: "That's black drugs! Teachers Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin both recommended this drama. This is the most classic drug dealer TV series. The heroine is a policeman and goes undercover in a drug dealer group. , the story of a battle of wits and courage with the villain, and finally the drug dealer villain was captured! Teacher Zhang Xiao wants to play the female police protagonist, and Teacher Wu Zixin will play the second male detective captain."

"They hope that you can play the role of the big villain drug dealer. It is the last episode, an interrogation sequence before the trial. The three of you have similar roles."

Wang Cheng nodded, put down the notebook in his hand, took out his mobile phone and searched for information about the TV series "Black Poison".

Huang Ping is not surprised by this either.

Because this drama is a classic TV series from 20 years ago, but Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old, so it is normal that he has never watched this drama.

However, this would seem very unfair to Wang Cheng. He doesn’t understand the play at all, so how can he perform it directly on stage?

Zhang Xiao studied this show when he was young. After all, the ratings were very popular back then and there were many powerful celebrities performing in it!

Among them, Wu Zixin had played a role in it back then, but he only played one of the young policemen who had more roles. In total, he was the seventh male lead at most!

Therefore, both Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin must be familiar with this drama.

Wang Cheng, on the other hand, is completely unfamiliar with it and has only started searching for information now.

Next to them, An Keru, Wen Yixiao and others frowned slightly, feeling that this was too unfair to Wang Cheng.

An Keru said directly: "Director Huang, Wang Cheng doesn't understand this play at all, and he will perform it right away. Isn't this bullying?"

Huang Ping said hurriedly: "I told Teacher Zhang and Teacher Wu, they said that Wang Cheng can choose someone he is familiar with."

Wang Cheng shook his head gently: "No need, whatever they choose is whatever they choose, it's the same to me!"

Anyway, he has never seen it, and he doesn’t understand it either. All the clips are the same...

Huang Ping immediately said: "Wang Cheng, you can give some free play during the performance. You don't have to perform exactly according to the plot lines in the play. As long as the performance effect is good, then there will be no problem..."

This is what Huang Ping thought of as compensation for Wang Cheng - free play!

And this is what he has learned after working with many actors in recent years. Some actors’ favorite way of acting is to express themselves freely!

Many young actors and talented actors hope that they can be given some free space to use their own imagination and acting skills, instead of performing according to the same routine lines of their predecessors.

but……

Most actors who have such demands become a joke.

Only a very small number of truly senior and powerful actors have achieved their own success.

The acting skills shown by Wang Cheng in the two performances just now are definitely beyond everyone's imagination. Huang Ping feels that Wang Cheng must also need his own performance space.

Therefore, he gave Wang Cheng this compensation.

When Wang Cheng heard Huang Ping's words, his eyes lit up a little, and then he nodded and said: "Well, I understand..."

Huang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Cheng agreed, he stood up and said, "Well, you can rest more and get some information. I'll go and get busy first..."

After seeing Wang Cheng nod, Huang Ping left.

Wang Cheng had already found this classic crime TV series called Black Poison, and saw that this show was somewhat similar to the classic film and television show in his memory.

He found out all the information about the villains.

This drama is very similar to the film and television drama in my memory called Black Ice, but the focus is different. The heroine is the real main protagonist, and the villain’s fan following is not as focused as that of the villain in Black Ice. The villain is actually the first protagonist, and the plot also unfolds with the villain as the core.

And this dark poison is a plot that unfolds with the heroine's undercover vision!

so……

The characters and plots of the two dramas seem to be somewhat similar, but the characters and plot focus are different.

Wang Cheng was thinking in his mind and continued to look at the information!

An Keru, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and Han Xiao who were standing next to them all looked at Wang Cheng with some worry. They wanted to say something, but they saw Wang Cheng checking the information seriously and did not say anything to disturb. They could only think in their hearts. Gan was anxious, fearing that Wang Cheng would suffer a loss when facing Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin on stage.

And this time.

The performances of Ma Jianfeng and Shen Xinyan on the stage are coming to an end. Their performance has exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination, and surpassed their previous best performance, winning everyone's warm applause.

At the end of the performance, the four judges applauded vigorously and gave their warmest applause.

Ma Jianfeng and Shen Xinyan were all smiling. Everyone felt that they were in great shape during the performance just now, and they all felt that their performance had improved, so they were very happy.

When the applause stopped, Guan Sheng from the judges' table looked directly at Shen Xinyan and asked: "Shen Xinyan, your performance this time gave me a big surprise. You began to further let go of your idol baggage, and at the same time, your inner drama just now The performance is very good, the changes in demeanor and expression, and even the eyes are extremely expressive, I have made great progress!"

"How do you do that?"

Zhang Heping, Zhang Xiao, and Wu Zixin also stared at Shen Xinyan. Ma Jianfeng and the others beside Shen Xinyan also looked at Shen Xinyan curiously. They were all suppressed by Shen Xinyan's performance just now.

Shen Xinyan glanced at Wang Cheng who was not far away from the stage. She saw that Wang Cheng did not pay attention to her performance and comments on the stage, but was looking down at something. She was a little disappointed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face, in front of the camera. He replied to everyone: "I just watched Wang Cheng's performance today and his character notes, and I must have had a little enlightenment about performance."

Is it because of Wang Cheng again?

Everyone's face was full of curiosity.

Especially the character notes that Shen Xinyan said?

Guan Sheng immediately asked: "Oh? Are you influenced by Wang Cheng? Wang Cheng's performance today is indeed magical, and I understand that it can bring you so much inspiration. But, what character notes are you talking about? Is it a character note?”

Shen Xinyan nodded: "Yes. I was just curious to ask Wang Cheng about the details of the performance. Then I saw him reading notes, which were the notes of the original characters of the three performances he performed today. After he read the original plot , conducted a lot of behind-the-scenes analysis of the characters, and wrote many words of detailed analysis on each character. I was shocked after watching it."

"So, I learned from him. When I was performing just now, I also conducted a more detailed and in-depth psychological and growth analysis of my character in this performance. Then, I integrated it into my performance to bring more Three-dimensional and delicate inner performance..."

Guan Sheng and the other three judges listened with surprise on their faces.

Can detailed character notes improve Shen Xinyan's performance?

What kind of character notes are those?

They are all people who know a lot about acting, so they also know that most powerful actors have the habit of taking notes on their characters, so as to better understand the characters and perform better.

But...the writing is not very detailed.

Could it be...

What’s different about what Wang Cheng wrote?

Wu Zixin asked curiously: "What are the character notes written by Wang Cheng like?"

If they had heard this information before Wang Cheng performed on stage, they would have disdained it or even sneered disdainfully. After all, what kind of character notes does a nineteen-year-old singer who debuted in a talent show know? What do you know about acting?

But……

Having watched two of Wang Cheng's performances that surpassed the original version, they will not have the slightest contempt for any information about Wang Cheng's performance.

Many insiders and audiences at the scene were also extremely curious.

Shen Xinyan glanced in Wang Cheng's direction again and saw that Wang Cheng didn't express anything about it and seemed to not care at all. She didn't hide anything at the moment and said directly: "It is to describe a character's growth experience and mentality change process in great detail. , as well as changes in personal preferences, as well as details of personality changes brought about by emotional experiences, etc., are all written in great detail. In fact, I don’t think it can even be called character notes, it can be said to be an autobiography of a character!"

"So, I don't think it's strange at all that Wang Cheng can perform so miraculously. This is a normal thing. He also pointed out the way forward for me!"

Shen Xinyan spoke extremely seriously, her pretty face not concealing her admiration and respect for Wang Cheng.

Ma Jianfeng and several other young actors were slightly moved after hearing this, and decided in their hearts that they would also ponder and study their own character information in the same way next time they perform.

The four judges and others all understood in their hearts that they had misunderstood Wang Cheng before. The video Wang Cheng had been watching today might be the original episode of the segment to be performed, and he had been writing character understanding notes, etc., and It’s not that they think they’ve been watching videos.

Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin, two famous and powerful actors, looked at the young man sitting not far away with slight surprise. They really did not expect that Wang Cheng would behave like this.

Thinking that Wang Cheng's wonderful performance just now was because Wang Cheng had put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes and could not perform so well out of thin air. Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more confident and relieved of the pressure in their hearts. Lightened up a bit.

There was not much time left for their performance with Wang Cheng later, and they believed that Wang Cheng would not have time to make such detailed preparations.

Then, when they play against Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng's performance should not be as good as the performance just now.

Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin looked at each other, nodded slightly, and agreed that they would perform well later and try to suppress Wang Cheng...

Shen Xinyan's interview ended here, and then she left the stage with Ma Jianfeng and others with a smile, and then walked directly to Wang Cheng. She was a little disappointed not to see Wang Cheng.

At this time, Wang Cheng had just walked into the dressing room and started putting on makeup for the third performance!

Several makeup artists quickly applied makeup according to his requirements.

In the third performance, Wang Cheng played a left-behind young man in the countryside with some mental problems. His opponent was Zhao Xiang and several other supporting actors. Zhao Xiang was the male protagonist who returned to the countryside. Wang Cheng played the role of Zhao Xiang's childhood friend. The clip from the performance is a clip of the two meeting on the road.

This film shows the changes in Zhao Xiang's development as he moves out of the countryside. At the same time, it also reveals through his vision the changes in the countryside and the changes in the fate of some different characters.

The character played by Wang Cheng is one of the characters with a rather tragic fate. Because he was not good at studying, he dropped out of school early to work in the city. However, he later got injured and was unable to make money with his own strength. He could only return to the countryside to do some farm work and odd jobs to support himself. , has been in a state of confusion, and then developed mental problems. After being introduced by an acquaintance, he found a disabled wife. As a result, the disabled wife also disliked him and ran away, and finally became mentally ill...

When this movie was first released, it had little response or popularity, and it was a flop at the box office.

But because it is so cruel, it has been discovered by more and more people, and is recognized and liked by more and more people, because it seems that everyone can find their own shadow in it!

The stage is set...

All the audience were staring at the stage, looking forward to Wang Cheng's appearance and whether he could continue to surprise them.

Among them, many people are very much looking forward to seeing Wang Cheng play a psychopath. What is it like?

"One thing to say, Wang Cheng really has nothing to say about his professionalism. He is actually willing to play a mentally ill person. How many of those young stars are willing to play a mentally ill person? They are all afraid of affecting their own image..."

"Wang Cheng's dedication is well-known in the industry, but his temper is rather weird."

"Let's get started..."

"I'm even more looking forward to what Wang Cheng, Zhang Xiao and Wu Zixin will perform together in the end."

"Stop talking, look, it's starting!"

The stage has gone dark.

The scene became extremely silent again, and every audience member stopped talking.

The four judges also looked at the stage nervously. They didn't know how long it had been since they had experienced this kind of nervousness when watching a performance.

It seems that the one who is about to appear is their teacher...

First, Zhao Xiang was wearing fashionable casual clothes and hurriedly walked out under the light with a satchel on his back. He had the joy of going home on his face. After taking two steps, he looked towards the dim place to one side.

There, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness and gradually became clearer.

Everyone at the scene trembled slightly when they saw the figure gradually becoming clearer...

Who is that?

Everyone's eyes widened.

Including Zhao Xiang on the stage, their bodies stiffened for a moment, and their eyes widened as they stared at the figure that appeared.
