"Okay, you sit down first, don't be so nervous."

Xu Xin pressed his hand and motioned for the very smart classmate Song Yiren to sit down.

Then he looked around and looked at everyone's expressions.

I found that... everyone actually had very peaceful emotions in their eyes.

Or it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't concern you.

There is no meaning of "cheer up" or "encouragement".

Obviously, whether they could hear the little tricks in Song Yiren's words or not, they didn't really care about each other's affairs.

Or to put it more bluntly.

Wouldn't it be better if your conditions were not excellent?

We have one less opponent.

After feeling the indifferent attitude in most people's eyes, he knew how to answer his question.

"Actually, this is the case. The question asked by this classmate Song Yiren is very subjective. And now she asked me to answer a...question that may very well determine her future future. I actually cannot give a correct response. Because everyone's

Destinies are all different, just like some people can succeed, but others follow his path and repeat step by step, but in the end they can only fail."

He looked at Song Yiren and said:

"You ask me now whether you are suitable or not, and I can't answer you. Because any answer I give will be unfair to you. Because you have just started, and neither I nor anyone else is qualified to deny you.

Dreams and life. So, here, I want to talk to... the students majoring in the acting department about my views on actors. I know that there are not many people in each class of our directing department, and most of them today should

These are all students from other departments, right? I want to share my views with you here for your reference."

As soon as he spoke, everyone's spirits rose.

Then Xu Xin gestured in the direction of Song Yiren:

"I just said that I will not judge this classmate's plans for himself. What I can talk about here is actually two types of actors. One is called the talent type. The other is called the hard-working type. Everyone thinks this

Which of the two actors has a higher final achievement?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the students who were thinking and asked with a smile:

"Those who agree with the first option raise their hands."

Most people in the classroom raised their hands.

"Second, raise your hands."

Although it is not sparse, it is less than half of the people at most.

Seeing this, Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"So, the students also believe that acting...or the profession of actor requires a certain amount of talent, right?"

As he said that, he didn't need anyone to respond and said directly:

"But what I want to tell you is that I, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Xie Fei, etc., and the directors I know, in our eyes, in fact, there is no talent or hard work in the profession of actor. Or in other words

In short, no matter you are a talented or hard-working actor, in the end, your paths will reach the same destination. And this state is called --- role."

Swish swish swish.

After writing the word "role" on the blackboard, he knocked on the blackboard with his knuckles and said:

"Actors are not acting, but they are naturally integrated into the role. If you are not acting, you are the role. This role comes alive. When others think of this role, they do not think of the actor's performance, but as an independent individual.

Appear. For example, when I think of Xu Xin, Xu Xin is an independent individual. His height, appearance, clothing, and character will appear in your mind. You will not care whether this person was performed by someone else, because he

That is Xu Xin, an independent individual in your perception. And this is the highest realm of an actor."

Looking at the students who looked thoughtful, Xu Xin continued:

"Some people are geniuses when they first debut. A certain role they interpret may reach this level easily in a certain moment. However, they may be trapped in this role for the rest of their lives. Because their interpretation is too good.

It has penetrated deeply into people's hearts and changed people's perceptions. Is this kind of actor's talent good? Of course it is. But... do you think this is a good thing for the actors themselves? Or a bad thing?"

"And some people, their initial performance is very poor, but they are willing to work hard. He reads practice lines every day, observes different people to figure out their body language, and will boldly try any role and work hard to perfect it. He may be around all year round.

He performed all kinds of strange roles in various large and small crews. He may not be famous, or he may not be well-known by the audience, but he has never been identified by the audience. In the end, everyone discovered... this person, no matter what he plays, he clearly cannot be called

His real name is revealed, but as soon as he appears, you feel like you have seen him in other dramas. He is like a chameleon, very versatile and blends into any drama."

"Let's put aside the so-called fame, status, celebrity status, etc. Returning to the profession itself, do you think which kind of person is more suitable to be called an "actor"?"

After raising a question again, he still didn't give anyone time to think, and pointed at the word "role" behind him.

"As a director, in the eyes of the director, when we select actors, this is all. Whether you are famous or not has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you are definitely not as big as me..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

I don’t know how many people subconsciously twitched their lips...

Fine.

This is so true.

Isn’t this what your best friend said?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Xin smiled slightly:

"When I choose a role, I only look at whether you are suitable. I never consider whether you have become famous at a young age or whether you are unknown. Because it has nothing to do with my movie. And one point that extends from this is that fame

Whether you are big or small actually has nothing to do with your acting skills. As an actor, whether you are famous or not, and whether you are talented or not, are actually all judged by outside voices. If you have talent, you can succeed. If you don't have talent, you can work hard.

In the end, the end point is the same as that of talented people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The reason why I want to talk about this matter with the students in the Performance Department is, on the one hand, Song Yiren’s question, and on the other hand, I want to tell you:

In the next few years, you may find that yesterday we were all classmates eating together in the cafeteria, but suddenly today he became famous overnight and received a lot of attention because of a work. And you may have submitted audition materials

All is lost...

This feeling of loss is great.

But, please think about what I said when you feel frustrated. If you really love acting, love acting, and want to devote all of yourself to this profession. Instead of just running: "I want to be famous, I want to

"Become a big star." This kind of utilitarian purpose, then, keep my words in mind. Because everything I say is not only my personal opinion, it is also the director I know and our common understanding."

His eyes became serious:

"Actors start sooner or later, but everyone goes through the same path. The final destination is also the same. Students with high talent, or those who start early, please always be careful not to fall into the trap of a small world.

And students who started a little slower, please don’t give up. You just need to understand that every petal on that flower is inseparable from your hard work and sweat of forging ahead. When you bloom, any time

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be disappointed.”

"Hua la la la la la..."

The applause, which was even louder than the one just now, instantly swept across the entire classroom.

It was given to Teacher Xu on the stage.

These words...

That's so well said.

Among the people applauding, Yang Zi felt the deepest.

She understood most deeply that what Director Xu was doing was definitely not some chicken soup or some stage talk.

Every word he said was absolutely correct.

Because she is the so-called "starting high" type of actor.

But he is also trapped in a vicious circle and cannot extricate himself.

She didn't know how many people could sympathize with this.

But in her case, it was 100% solid and good advice!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhang Yishan.

It should be the same for you, right?

Zhang Yishan didn't see her gaze.

He was just applauding, and while applauding, he was staring at the figure on the stage.

There was also a sudden enlightenment and empathetic recognition in his eyes.

Apparently, he also listened.

…

This class was said to be a meeting, and Xu Xin was right.

After having the proofs from the two girls in front, the people behind me also knew how to ask.
