Chapter 55 Planning and Learning

When he got home, Li Sheng sat down for a while, took a sip of water, and got up to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I lay on the bed~ tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, lifted the quilt, sat up, opened the drawer and brought over the notebook I used to write lyrics in Hengdian before, and then lay back on the bed~.

"Observe...imitate...substitute..."

Li Sheng wrote down these few words in the notebook without a clue, and suddenly remembered something, and wrote a few more words.

"Self-hypnosis..."

Suddenly, Li Sheng thought of two actors who were famous for playing fools, Guo Jin'an and Zheng Zeshi!
Zheng Zeshi won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards for his mentally retarded role in "Why Me", although the Academy Award is only reserved for actors on Hong Kong Island, but in the era when "Why Me" was released, Xiangjiang's films were in a period The extremely prosperous period is not comparable to the current depressed scene. With this, it shows that Zheng Zeshi perfectly interprets this role.

The same is true of Guo Jin'an, who started filming only tepidly, but ended up playing the mentally handicapped character in "Jackie Chan", which became an instant hit.

Li Sheng doesn't mean that he just thinks that he can be the same as the above two. What is most urgent for him now is to be able to successfully take this role from Jiang Wu's hands.

Zheng Zeshi has been famous for many years. What Li Sheng can think of must be able to think of others, which can be temporarily excluded. According to Li Sheng's memory, Guo Jin'an seems to have not yet started to act stupid, that is, his acting style has not yet begun to appear. Didn't Yu Feihong say that he could try to come up with something different? Li Sheng felt that he could start from this aspect and consider how to learn from it.

In fact, Li Sheng somewhat understands what Yu Feihong meant, but it's just that he can't do it for the time being. A mature actor has his own set of interpretation methods and styles.

Just like Yu Feihong, the clouds are calm and the wind is light, no matter what she plays, you will feel that she is in a very calm state.

To give another famous example, Chen Baoguo, when he was filming, whether it was a TV series or a movie, basically once he started to enter the film, he was full of firepower, and he could often overwhelm others. It is not that Chen Baoguo likes this , it's just that he has formed his own unique way over the years.

The famous painter Qi Baishi once said that those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.

The meaning is very simple, if you learn from me, you may survive and follow the path of painting, but if your style is similar to mine, then you will only die.

By analogy, art often has similarities, acting and directing are the same, which is why Yu Feihong reminded Li Sheng to try something new.

In fact, Li Sheng thought a little too much. Yu Feihong's thoughts were not as complicated as Li Sheng's. What Li Sheng showed in Hengdian was a proper way of experience. Getting close to those mentally handicapped people, and then causing yourself a mental breakdown, would not be worth the candle.

That's why Yu Feihong had the words to persuade Li Sheng, but Li Sheng got it wrong. Although he got it wrong, Yu Feihong's goal was achieved. A fool.

Of course, Li Sheng didn't know this.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Sheng felt that he already had some clues. After thinking about it, he wrote a line in his notebook.

"Learn back rubbing massage."

After writing this, Li Sheng rubbed his chin, nodded, then closed his notebook, lay down and slept peacefully.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Sheng got up early to wash up, then had a quick meal outside before going to school.

Instead of going to the classroom, he ran to find Cui Xinqin.

"Professor Cui, I would like to ask for a few days off." After asking Cui Xinqin for a reason, Li Sheng got straight to the point.

Cui Xinqin looked at Li Sheng and asked, "Why did you ask for leave just after entering school?"

"A friend introduced me to an audition opportunity. I want to try it. I need to prepare and learn something." Li Sheng said truthfully.

"Oh?" Cui Xinqin became interested and put down what she was doing.

"Can you tell me which director it is? The circle is so big, I may know it too!"

Li Sheng smiled embarrassedly, "Director Zhang Yuan introduced me to the new play "Bathing" directed by Zhang Yang."

"And I also heard that I have a competitor who is the 90th-level brother Jiang Wu!"

"Oh..." Cui Xinqin laughed, "You said I know all of these people, the gap between you and Jiang Wu is a bit big..."

Cui Xinqin pondered again and asked Li Sheng, "Does Feihong know?"

Li Sheng nodded, "I know, she encouraged me to participate."

"And I also thought about it. Participation is the most important thing. Of course it's good if you can succeed. If you can't succeed, I will study and study!"

Hearing that Yu Feihong also agreed, Cui Xinqin had no reason to refuse, so she waved her hand.

"Then you go, Teacher Xu Xiaodan is out filming, I will ask for leave from Professor Wang Jinsong."

Li Sheng smiled and bowed to Cui Xinqin, "Thank you, Teacher Cui!"

Cui Xinqin smiled and said cheers, Li Sheng said goodbye and hurried out.

……

After leaving Nortel, Li Sheng drove the car all the way towards the old city on the other side of Bada Hutong, walked around a few times, spotted an alley, found a parking lot and threw the car into it, and then went straight to the alley.

Judging from the general outline described by Zhang Yuan, this is probably a story that happened in a bathhouse in an old city that is about to be demolished.

Then here comes the problem, one, the original BJ's words, maybe because the character is mentally retarded, there will be fewer lines, but you have to guard against it, you have to pay attention to learning, and the other is the familiarity with the life of the old BJ .

Coming here should be the most suitable choice.

The old BJ's bathhouse likes to call it XX pool or something. The name Li Sheng likes is quite impressive, Huaqing pool. I don't know if Concubine Yang really took a bath in it.

As soon as Li Sheng entered, he was greeted by the heat of the store, and he saw the uncle in his [-]s or [-]s greet him.

"Welcome, you are walking inside!"

Li Sheng smiled, followed the old man inside, and asked as he walked, "Uncle, do you know where the boss is?"

The uncle smiled kindly, "I am, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Sheng nodded with a smile, and shook hands with the uncle.

"It's like this, uncle, I want to stay with you for two days, follow you, and learn the craft!"

The uncle was a little confused by Li Sheng's words.

"Learning craft? What do you mean?"

"It's such an uncle. I'm a student of BJ Film Academy and an actor. I'm going to make a movie recently. It's about your bathhouse. I just need to learn some massage skills, so I want to come to your place Learn and learn."

"Look, here is my student ID card."

The uncle took Li Sheng's student ID card, looked at it, and handed it back.

"Hey, let me tell you, the thing about praising this old BJ is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences..."

After spending half a night with this uncle all morning, I figured out why this uncle agreed so easily.

The uncle's surname is Li, and he grew up under the roots of the imperial city. This bathhouse is also a family heirloom. Well, when Lao Li can't move anymore, the bathhouse will probably stop cooking.

Lao Li was feeling depressed, so Li Sheng came up to him, Lao Li was so relieved, he finally had a way to vent his pent-up words~.

……

So, for the next three days, Li Sheng made a plan for himself to stay at home in the morning to strengthen and imitate the stupid state of Guo Jin'an from his previous life, and in the afternoon to start work with Lao Li in the bathhouse, listening to the comings and goings inside. The parents of all kinds of people are short-sighted, imitating Lao Li's massage skills.
