Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Chapter 15 Yang Mi: Zhou Yutang, I’m pregnant!



His appearance is ordinary, but his demeanor is very calm. His speaking voice is neither slow nor urgent, and he seems to have a strange charm.

This was Zhou Yutang's first impression of Teacher Zhang.

Teacher Zhang Songwen is very serious when teaching. When he sees someone taking notes, he will slow down his speech and kindly remind: "You don't need to take notes in my class. After class, the lecture notes with key points will be sent to the public mailbox." Here, if you need anything, you can go back and read it again, and if you still don’t understand, you can come to me.”

He was in a very relaxed state. He first talked about some theoretical methods and knowledge about acting, and then clapped his hands: "Next, we will act out a simple situation: you are a couple of college students, and your girlfriend found out that she is two months pregnant. I’m hesitant to tell my boyfriend about this, and which classmate is willing to come up and set an example.”

Many people raised their hands enthusiastically, including the diligent Zhu Yilong. Zhang Songwen pointed with his fingers.

"Zhu Yilong, Gao Ye, you two come first."

Zhu Yilong and Gao Ye sat across from Zhang Songwen. They were both classmates. They had liberated their natures, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting a little, I quickly entered the state.

The two acted very smoothly, but from Zhou Yutang's perspective, the performance marks were too serious, which is normal. After all, the two's acting skills are still very immature and have not yet matured.

Sure enough, after the two performed, Zhang Songwen made a direct comment:

"Your performance is too routine. What you just performed was too accurate. It seems that both of you know what has been determined. Takano, your state is a little nervous. Please relax a little."

"Remember, sometimes when performing, if the performance is inaccurate, it is accurate, and if the performance is too accurate, it is inaccurate. Do you understand the meaning?"

While commenting, Zhang Songwen also incorporated the performance theory knowledge he just taught into it, making it easier for people to understand.

"Okay, Teacher Zhang."

Zhu Yilong nodded with enlightenment, feeling inspired.

"Um."

Takano was also a little embarrassed and blushed, secretly annoyed that she made a mistake when she said her lines just now.

Then he called a few more groups and commented on their shortcomings and areas that could be improved. Zhang Songwen tapped his finger again:

"Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi, come here."

Only then did Zhou Yutang realize that Senior Sister Yang Mi was also there.

Does Damimi also want to make progress?

The two sat opposite each other.

Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded at Yang Mi. Yang Mi's expression was also very calm, and she winked at him, a bit like brother, don't worry, my sister will protect you later.

After all, in Damimi's opinion, she started acting when she was only a few years old, and she has had an acting career for more than ten years. She is better than 99% of Nortel students, and it is not difficult to perform in public.

But when she found Zhou Yutang coming up with a cup of milk tea, her face looked a little strange.

This week Yu Tang doesn't play by the rules, so why does he bring his own props?

What does he want to do?

With her mind full of doubts, Yang Mi began to think about how she should perform.

She is a very smart girl. Just now, so many classmates came up to perform, and they showed some flaws and problems. She only needs to improve these problems on this basis, and then she will naturally be the best among them. that one.

When the performance started, the small classroom became quiet, and Yang Mi's very recognizable low and sweet voice sounded: "Zhou Yutang, I have something to do with you."

Zhou Yutang bit her milk tea, her expression was calm, her eyes were level, and her voice was calm: "Tell me, what's the matter."

"I am pregnant."

The expression on Yang Mi's face changed slightly, and she said hesitantly, even her voice seemed to be a bit uneasy.

"."

When Zhou Yutang heard the news, he did not respond immediately. He just stopped sucking the milk tea, frowned quietly, lowered his eyelids, and looked away.

In an instant, without even a word, the panic and confusion were expressed very clearly.

"When did this happen?"

After a long silence, Zhou Yutang put down the milk tea in his hand. Zhou Yutang's voice was very suppressed, and the muscles on his face were trembling slightly. His emotions seemed to have reached a critical point about to explode.

Yang Mi pursed her lips and said: "Two months ago, I just found out when I went to the hospital last week."

Then, the muscles on Zhou Yutang's face began to twist uncontrollably, feeling a little frightened and at a loss.

After a moment, his eyes were blank at first, and then somewhat evasive, with confusion and escape about the future. The muscles on his face twitched unconsciously, and he said with a fierce expression:

"Are you sure that's mine? I remember wearing a condom that time!"

There was a burst of snickering in the classroom. Senior Yang Mi opened her mouth slightly, her little face turned red, and gave Zhou Yutang a fierce look.

If looks could kill, Zhou Yutang had been killed hundreds of times by Xiao Guoxiang's Heavenly Sword.

Zhou Yutang, you really deserve to die!

"alright."

Zhang Songwen stood up and pressed his hands before calming down. He continued to comment in a calm tone: "This group just performed very well."

"First of all, classmate Yang Mi, you behaved very maturely, but one thing to note is that judging from your performance just now, you know how to act very well. You are a college student yourself. When encountering this kind of situation, you should be You want to seek a state of dependence, but you act very calmly, as if this thing happens five or six times a year."

Yang Mi: "."

Zhang Songwen made a small gesture with the index finger and thumb of his right hand together, and continued:

"Also, I found a problem with you. Although it is not obvious, your performance seems to be somewhat programmed. This may be applicable to most TV dramas, but if your acting skills continue to improve, then it is best Change that.”

"In addition, your voice is too recognizable. It has a slightly sweet voice, which is an advantage when playing a girl role. It is naturally close to the character, but when you expand your acting skills, it is easy to make people laugh."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Yang Mi stood up and thanked her.

Zhang Songwen was not targeting her, he was talking about practical things and pointed out the problems she had, which was also for her own good.

Then, Da Mimi gave Zhou Yutang a fierce look.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The students in the classroom applauded one after another, and Zhou Yutang also clapped gently, pretending not to see Da Mimi's glare, but he couldn't help but admire her secretly.

As expected of Mr. Zhang, the famous theater geek from the film school, he really has something.

Yang Mi has been on the set since she was a child, and she is so accustomed to acting that she subconsciously performs it in a programmed manner.

What is programmed performance?

An experienced actor in the industry once commented on the definition of programmed performance.

Happiness is hahaha, pain is wow wow wow. When acting, I just think about it and form a set of reaction mechanisms within my comfort zone. Later, when Damimi wanted to perform well, she didn't even know when she was thinking about it. How to perform it?

"Let's talk about Zhou Yutang's performance just now. He is an ordinary college student, so when he hears the news of his girlfriend's pregnancy, he is first stunned, and then he can't help but panic, and then in this mess What kind of reaction will he have in this state?"

Zhang Songwen explained carefully and carefully: "The best reaction is to lose control of the muscles. This is the physiological reaction we performed."

"Remember one thing, any advanced acting skills are sometimes not as beautiful as showing people's physiological reactions. You can carefully observe the acting of top actor Robert Downey Jr., I believe you will gain a lot of insights."

After talking carefully for a while, Zhang Songwen paused, turned to Zhou Yutang and said, "Student Zhou Yutang did a good job in this performance just now. I have a question."

"Teacher, just ask."

Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Songwen asked with a smile: "You give me the feeling that you and your girlfriend have really experienced similar things. Otherwise, how could you show such a true reflection?"

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and the loudest one was Zhang Ruojun, and the air was suddenly filled with joy.

"Teacher Zhang, I don't have a girlfriend."

Zhou Yutang was also helpless as a little bear.

Zhang Songwen was praising his acting skills from a different perspective. It was actually quite a sense of accomplishment to be recognized by such an outstanding actor.

At the end of the acting class, Zhou Yutang smiled at Yang Mi and apologized. Senior Sister Damimi didn't appreciate it at all. She glanced at Zhou Yutang again, flicked her hair and left with a small bag on her shoulders.

The two of them had just acted opposite each other. Although her room for performance was relatively small, there was no doubt that Zhou Yutang's acting skills surpassed hers, which made the arrogant Damimi a little unbearable.

Zhou Yutang didn't take it to heart. When everyone dispersed, he took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Songwen: "Teacher Songwen, hello, do you have time in the evening? I would like to treat you to fish."

"Let's talk about things first, and then we'll talk about it after we finish eating."

"You all should sit down. Teacher Yao has already told me your basic situation."

Zhang Songwen greeted Zhou Yutang and the others to sit down very kindly, and praised: "Yu Tang performed really well just now, and he performed the state I wanted."

"No, I still have a lot to learn compared to Teacher Zhang."

Zhou Yutang said modestly, and Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun also laughed. They probably thought Zhou Yutang's last line was quite funny.

"Don't be formal. Call me Song Wen or Lao Zhang."

Zhang Songwen said with emotion: "You are really awesome. You formed a crew yourself. I have read the script. The male lead is played by Yu Tang, right?"

"Well, I just hope Teacher Zhang can give me some advice. This is also my first time filming a TV series."

Zhou Yutang said seriously.

The acting tutorial class just now was public in nature, and now it’s just a small class.

The novel and script have already been given to Zhang Song, and he has done a lot of homework in private, so there is no obstacle to teaching them at this time.

Zhang Ruojun's character, Mo Junjie, is the simplest. It can be summed up in one sentence: an infatuated and loyal academic domineering warm-hearted man who secretly has a crush on Chen Yunru, who has low self-esteem and is sensitive.

The roles Zhu Yilong wants to play are also very clear: first of all, he wants to play two people.

The elder brother Xie Zongru is a kind-hearted squad leader, but the younger brother Xie Zhiqi is a psychopath. In the future timeline, his soul travels to the past, takes over his brother's body, and commits a perverted act of killing Chen Yunru. He is the big boss of the show.

"Not bad, you three are very enlightened."

Zhang Songwen talked for about an hour, and then looked at Zhou Yutang and the others with some surprise.

"I hope Teacher Zhang teaches well." Zhou Yutang said modestly.

"I'm not kidding. You are considered to be very talented among the students I have met. This class of students is really amazing."

Teacher Zhang Songwen said seriously.

After listening for another hour, Zhou Yutang and others were still not satisfied.

This kind of one-on-one lectures actually helps a lot to improve their acting skills.

After the lecture, we made an appointment to have a meal together. We didn’t just talk about eating fish. There is a Yudu grilled fish restaurant near the film school that is really good. The price is reasonable and the flavor is outstanding.

A few kilograms of black fish are placed in a rack on the iron stove, with side dishes such as celery, bean sprouts, and peanuts spread on the bottom. The secret sauce of butter is poured on top, and then covered with a little green hat. The aroma is overflowing. The taste is really good. Absolutely.

However, Zhang Songwen refused to let Zhou Yutang pay for anything, and rushed to buy the food after ordering.

After enjoying the meal, Zhou Yutang thought about it for a while, his heart moved slightly, he put down the cup and asked: "Teacher Zhang, can you do me a favor?"

"You said, if I can help you, I will do my best."

Zhang Songwen is also very frank and straightforward.

"It's like this. The crew now has a role to play the uncle of the heroine Chen Yunru. Are you interested?"

Zhou Yutang explained: "Because it is a supporting role, the pay will not be very high. In addition, Teacher Zhang and the team will be required to serve as acting teachers, and the salary will be 20,000 yuan."

The supporting role plays a role in connecting the plot, and there are quite a few scenes. Zhang Songwen looks relatively mature, and needless to say, his acting skills fit the role perfectly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't need money."

Zhang Songwen agreed without thinking, poured a glass of wine, and said with emotion: "Yu Tang, you are the first one in the past few years to ask me to act."

"Teacher Zhang, you have such good acting skills, but you can't even act?"

Zhang Ruojun was shocked.

"Yes, you may not be able to imagine that last year I applied to more than 300 film crews, but none of them wanted me."

Zhang Songwen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhou Yutang also heard something about Zhang Songwen from Teacher Yao.

Zhang Songwen originally graduated with first place in the film school. However, after graduation, he did not film for a few years, so he stayed at Nortel as a part-time teaching assistant. At the worst time, he changed from three meals a day to one. After a meal, we even went to the vegetable market to pick up and sell leftover vegetable leaves.

His fellow sufferers Zhou Yiwei and Lin Jiachuan were also in a similar situation. When they were down and out, they would spend 1.5 cents a day to eat pancakes at the Hongting Pavilion.

This is the reality.

In this circle, there are actually many outstanding actors who have no background, and no outstanding image.

Being buried is the norm, being able to come forward is an accident.

So when Zhou Yutang extended an olive branch, Zhang Songwen was very excited and took the initiative to fill up the wine and lift the glass.

Zhou Yutang was also very satisfied.

It didn't cost much to hire a supporting actor with excellent acting skills, and he also served as the acting teacher of the crew, who could give guidance on the acting skills of the new members of the crew.

This wave is like Qin Shihuang touching the switch and winning!

After a little communication, the two parties hit it off and reached an intention to cooperate. From now on, everyone will be on their own. Zhou Yutang felt a little happy and raised his cup: "Then I'll ask Teacher Zhang for your advice. I'll have the contract delivered to me when the time comes."

"Here, cheers."

"cheers."
