Chapter 536: What exactly is a martial arts fanatic?

Hearing Zheng Yue's reminder, Li Dong smiled slightly.

Because he knew that Zheng Yue was concerned about him and was worried that he would violate the contract and have to pay liquidated damages.

Li Dong smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The script the crew gave me is an audition script, so the content in it can actually be revealed at will. It's just that the character setting here is the same as the protagonist in the movie, so I want Xu Wen to help me figure it out and see where I went wrong."

When the netizens in the live broadcast room heard what Li Dong said, they immediately became extremely curious.

"Is there any capable brother who can explain what an audition script is? I have never heard of this term before. Is it a new term created in recent years?"

"I work in the crew. I can only say that you are too weak to even know this. Even if you are not a professional, can't you just follow the name? An audition script is a temporary script given by the director or assistant director. The purpose of this script is to test the acting skills of the actors through some specific scenes. Generally speaking, it is used to screen actors."

"I know this. I got an audition script when I accompanied my friend to the audition. However, each crew gives different audition scripts. Some are very thick, while others are just a piece of paper. To put it bluntly, it all depends on the size of the crew and the director's requirements for the actors."

Making a movie is a huge project, and choosing roles is something that needs to be taken seriously.

Because only a good actor can support a role, and only a good character can make the entire movie fuller.

Therefore, whether an actor is suitable for the role and whether he can perform the feeling the director wants requires the actor to audition. Only through his tentative performance in front of the camera can the director judge whether the actor is suitable for the role.

The characteristic of an audition script is that the director or screenwriter will give you a small scene, usually a situational drama, and then ask you to perform a short segment and let you play freely.

This short plot or scene is a classic scene carefully selected by the directors, so the actor's expressiveness can be seen through the audition, but these audition scripts generally have nothing to do with the content of the drama.

After Xu Wen carefully read the audition script handed over by Li Dong, he was stunned.

"I think these scenes are classic. What do you think is wrong with them?"

Li Dong said awkwardly, "Look, I'm a big star, but the role I was given is this so-called martial arts fanatic. You also know that I know nothing about martial arts. Now you want me to play this martial arts fanatic. Isn't it obvious that you are asking me to do something I'm not good at?"

"So I have been thinking about this character for many days, but I still can't accurately grasp the psychological motivation of this character. Can you give me some hints?"

After reading the script, Xu Wen said, "In fact, the details and information in this script are enough. If you are not good at martial arts and cannot imagine what a martial arts fanatic is like, then you can think like this and change your mindset."

"Is there anything that you think is very important? It should be said that you rank first among all the important things in life, but in addition to this first important thing, there must be second and third important things."

"At this time, you need to face a choice. You can only choose one of these three most important things. Think about it and experience this feeling carefully."

The examples Xu Wen gave were very abstract, but Li Dong was an actor after all, so he quickly understood what Xu Wen wanted to express.

Li Dong's eyes lit up.

"Are you talking about the scene where Feng Xiu strangled his girlfriend to death?" As soon as Li Dong said this, the netizens in the live broadcast room immediately went wild.

"Holy crap, what kind of movie is this? How could it be so explosive? The guy strangles his girlfriend to death right at the start?"

"I can't understand. If there really are people like this, why would they look for a girlfriend from the beginning? If you don't cherish your girlfriend, why don't you just stay single from the beginning? You're simply harming others and yourself by doing this."

"You don't understand this, right? Many people fall in love not because they are lonely, but because fate has arrived and they naturally have a girlfriend. It's like many of my friends around me really don't want to fall in love, and they don't have much to fall in love, but there are girls who like them, and there's nothing they can do to stop them."

"Brother, are you sure that what you are talking about is not called a scapegoat? There are many such things around me, but I never think it is a good thing. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Netizens have not read the script, so they cannot understand Xu Wen’s statement that the actor strangled his girlfriend to death at the very beginning of the film.

But Li Dong understood it instantly.

"I couldn't get into the story before because I didn't know why Feng Xiu did this. After all, his original purpose was to save his girlfriend."

"But now I understand what you said. This is because from the beginning, Feng Xiu never put his girlfriend in the most important position. The most important thing in his mind has always been martial arts training. So after discovering that his girlfriend could not be cured, he killed her so that he could spend more time and energy on martial arts research!"

In fact, this is a very simple truth, but many people don’t understand it.

After all, this is human nature. Even when there are more important things to do, for some other reasons, we are always very embarrassed or need to pretend.

But in fact, this is not necessary at all.

Feng Xiu’s character is a martial arts fanatic. Everything he does is to learn martial arts, improve his skills, or find an equally powerful opponent.

So he can be sad about his girlfriend's death, and he can feel that it is the injustice of fate, but this scene requires him to do it himself.

When Li Dong was acting in this scene, the character's heart was actually in a state of polarization, or in a torn state.

On the one hand, it was the pain of losing his girlfriend, but on the other hand, it was the feeling of relaxation and even ecstasy after finally getting rid of this burden.

Xu Wen said to Li Dong seriously: "As long as you find these two feelings, then you have grasped this character. Do you understand?"

Li Dong nodded to indicate that he understood, and was about to perform a scene for Xu Wen in front of the camera.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were delighted. They didn’t expect to see Li Dong give an impromptu performance.
