Chapter 539: Possessing an Actor's Sense of Faith
"Heretical way! What Xu Gou said is definitely heretical, everyone must not learn it!"

"No buddy, even if it's evil, there's no need for you to be so excited, right? Why are you so excited? Xu Gou just put on a simple show."

"No need to think, this guy must be a screenwriter. Only a screenwriter would be angry about Xu Gou's behavior."

"That's true. I'm just a screenwriter. Now when I see Xu Gou doing this, to be honest, my blood pressure goes up."

This is how literary works are. There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.

But even so, the screenwriter still doesn't want the actors to change their roles easily, let alone make up stories or change their lines.

It has to be said that although Xu Wen's performance was wonderful and brilliant, it did not surprise or delight the screenwriters. They just felt that Xu Wen did not respect the original author, that's all.

But Li Dong didn't think so at all. After watching Xu Wen's performance, Li Dong suddenly felt like he had found the direction of his life.

He said to Xu Wen excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling! I wanted to act out this feeling when I read the script, but I don't know why I just couldn't act it out!"

"Old Xu, do you have any special acting skills? Otherwise, why can you perform this feeling right from the start?"

"Tell me about your technique, I won't learn it for nothing, I'll pay the tuition!"

Hearing Li Dong say this, Zheng Yue on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It must be said that Li Dong is really honest. He doesn't hide what he doesn't know, unlike other stars who always try to create an omnipotent persona for the sake of their image.

Li Dong just can’t do it, and he is really willing to learn, and even willing to pay to learn.

Xu Wen waved his hand at Li Dong and said, "What skills are there? I just have more experience than you. When you reach my age, you will understand that many roles are not played out, but are the result of real experience. These are all life experiences, don't you understand?"

Xu Wen's words sounded very old-fashioned, and Li Dong was stunned.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also felt that Xu Wen was bragging.

After all, if we only talk about age, Li Dong is even older than Xu Wen. How could Xu Wen's acting skills be related to his experience?

Li Dong also asked the same question, and Xu Wen gave him an answer after thinking about it carefully.

"If you insist on asking, then I can only say that a true actor actually needs a sense of belief. Do you know what a sense of belief is?"

Li Dong shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.

He is not a professional actor. He became a star idol simply because of his good looks. Later, because he had so many fans, he started making money by filming movies.

Xu Wen continued to explain.

"The so-called sense of belief is a dialogue between the actor and himself, or even self-hypnosis." "For example, we often see some retro movies or some science fiction movies. The themes and shooting scenes of these movies are obviously not the era we live in now, so how can the actors be immersed in such a scene?"

"There is no other way, because as a crew member, you can't really find a time machine to let all the actors travel back in time, and you can't make up a world for the actors."

"Not to mention that during filming, there are cameras and staff not far in front of the actors, which is actually a big distraction to the actors' performances. If the actors want to get into the role at this time, they need a sense of faith."

“Believe in what you believe, this is called a sense of conviction.”

After Xu Wen’s explanation, netizens in the live broadcast room immediately understood.

"I understand. It's just deceiving yourself. Only if you can successfully deceive yourself, you can deceive the audience."

"Your use of the word 'cheating' is not very vivid and descriptive. This is actually acting. Only when you are truly committed and truly recognize your acting skills, can the audience recognize your acting skills."

"I have seen this acting technique in a book before. To be honest, this technique is indeed very useful, but it also has a side effect. That is, it is often difficult for actors to extricate themselves from the role. Many actors with particularly good acting skills often mistake themselves for such people after playing some classic roles, which affects their lives."

“So it’s very difficult to grasp the right balance. If you get a little into the role, you might become a drama fanatic, but if you don’t, it will give people a very stiff and clumsy feeling.”

Seeing that Li Dong seemed to understand, Xu Wen continued to explain: "In fact, this kind of playing is very simple, just like the role of Feng Xiu, a martial arts fanatic. You only need to think about what a real martial arts fanatic is like, and then it will be easy to create this character."

"The word 'martial arts fanatic' focuses on the word 'fanatic'. What does it mean to be fanatic? To think about one thing all the time is called fanaticism. So when I was acting just now, I was not thinking about how to play the role well. I was always thinking about how to learn from others and how to pursue the ultimate in martial arts."

Xu Wen did not continue talking after this. After all, what he just said were all dry goods. It would take Li Dong a long time to fully digest them. If he wanted to continue learning, he would need a higher level of comprehension.

"Okay, stop standing here. I'm going to start cooking. You guys go out."

Without waiting for Li Dong and Zheng Yue to say anything more, Xu Wen kicked them both out of the kitchen.

After all, Xu Wen always cooks behind closed doors to prevent others from learning his skills.

Shortly after Xu Wen closed the door, netizens saw flashes of fire in the kitchen, and Xu Wen's shadow could be vaguely seen.

After seeing this scene, netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but sigh.

"Xu Gou is really good at cooking. If this noise happened in my house, I would probably feel like my kitchen has exploded."

"I've worked in a Chinese restaurant before, and I can only say that the kitchen of the restaurant we worked in was like this. No matter when you went in, there was always flames. I wondered what the chef was doing in there."

"What do you know? This is the most important thing about Chinese cooking. Only when the fire is strong can the food be cooked to its full potential. Only when the food is cooked to its full potential can the food taste good."
