Chapter 1003 Stress and motivation

The 28th floor is where Zhou Xia's office is located, as well as the company's board meeting hall, as well as some leisure and meeting areas.

The 27th floor is the office and meeting area for the company's top management and executives of various departments.

The 26th floor is the private dressing room, lounge, and many rehearsal rooms of some of the company's first-line artists.

Zhou Xia came to the 26th floor, and first came to the rehearsal room where Er Di was.

Er Di is playing with the lines teacher, a foreign teacher.

She didn't wear the blue American police uniform today. She was wearing a black coat, black trousers, black shirt, and her hair was loose. Looking at it from a distance of more than ten meters, she was very capable and powerful, no less than the heroic appearance of the police uniform.

This is also a set of costumes in her play, which is obviously related to the main rehearsal today.

In terms of image, Zhou Xia has never doubted Er Di, she has a heroic spirit, as long as the clothes are in place, her temperament can be magnified, which is very suitable for this kind of role.

In addition, when Zhou Xia was with her, she always had a vicious tongue and complained about how much meat she ate. Er Di was hit, and was forced to lose weight consciously when he grew a little meat. One of them kept the weight at 95 catties About one hundred catties, rarely more than one hundred catties, so the condition has been maintained very well.

Zhou Xia pushed the door lightly and walked in. After walking a few steps, several people in the rehearsal room saw Zhou Xia in the mirror on the wall.

"You are busy with your work, I'll just sit here and watch."

Seeing that he still disturbed a few people, Zhou Xia quickly waved to them and sat down on the rest chair by the wall.

Er Di and the English teacher continued to repeat her lines, while Zhou Xia watched carefully.

"I'm here to get the autopsy report (I'm here to get the autopsy report)."

"Am i interrupting you (didn't bother you)?"

While Er Di was practicing his lines, he was also cooperating with the line teacher to perform this scene, which was the scene in the autopsy room.

Zhou Xia frowned unconsciously when she heard her American English, which obviously had an accent, and her pronunciation was not standard in several places.

The last word 'report' in the first sentence is pronounced in English, and the pronunciation of 'interrupting' in the second sentence is not accurate.

Although for most Chinese people, and even many teachers who teach English, Er Di's pronunciation is better.

But this still doesn't satisfy Zhou Xia, because her character is a foreigner, even if there is a little problem with her pronunciation, it will make the character look awkward.

Moreover, these two words are the key words in every sentence, so it is easy to notice, and it will be even more awkward if there is a problem.

But Zhou Xia didn't interrupt Er Di and the others rashly.

Although he intends to put more pressure on Er Di, the change of personal accent does not happen overnight, and the person concerned needs to have enough motivation to make up his mind to use scientific methods to do this.

Now the heroine of the whole series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is basically Er Di, Zhou Xia decided to use this incident to motivate and put pressure on her.

In "Chinatown 2", her lines and scenes are not too many, it is really not good, as long as the performance is in place, professional people can be hired to dub the lines in the later stage.

However, Shirley Yang’s role required eight films, and she had been looking for professionals to dub it. It can be said that Er Di personally wasted the opportunity to establish a weighty role in the audience’s mind through this role.

An actor, no matter in reality or in film and television dramas, the pronunciation of the character matches the voice of a real person, and most people will deepen their impression of her because of this, and think it is a kind of strength.

Many streaming actors have poor line skills, and have acted in many popular dramas. In the end, the voices are all voiced by professional voice actors. Acting creates a bad impression.

Moreover, no matter how well the voice actors are matched, sometimes they still cannot completely match the plot and the emotions of the characters, which will further affect the audience's evaluation of the actors' acting skills.

Zhou Xia watched Er Di and the line teacher's performance quietly, and the foreign teacher played the recording to Er Di to correct each sentence. Er Di looked at him from time to time, and was a little nervous to study.

Seeing this, Zhou Xia simply called off their practice and asked the script teacher and the foreign teacher to go to lunch first.

"What's the matter? One by one, how am I doing now?"

There was no one else in the rehearsal room, Er Di sat next to Zhou Xia and asked coquettishly, although he felt uneasy.

"Hey..." Zhou Xia stared at her beautiful face, sighed and shook her head without speaking.

"What's the matter? Are you disappointed?" Seeing Zhou Xia like this, Alexander asked pitifully, pouting.

"Er Di, I know you sometimes complain that I ask too much of you."

Zhou Xia reached out and touched her head, and continued: "I'm asking you seriously now, and you tell me honestly, if you feel that the pressure is too much and you really can't bear it, then I won't force you like this in the future."

"I...how come, it's a little stressful, but it's okay, I know you're doing it for my own good."

Seeing Zhou Xia's seriousness, Er Di was slightly taken aback, and stammered.

"Erdi, your other conditions are very good. Although your performance is immature, but at your age, you are better than many people of the same age. I have always had high expectations for you.

Xiahua Film and Television will become more and more international. I myself have many opportunities to go to Hollywood to film and direct many blockbuster films. Many of these are good opportunities, but the company's current actors rarely meet the standards.

I hope you will be that person, not only to play Chinese characters like Yu Fei, but also to play some real protagonists in foreign language films. You are a good candidate, just like this role this time.

But your current growth rate can't keep up with my requirements, and you also know that the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is about to start, and you also participated in the female lead audition.

After the heroine is selected, eight films will be shot in a row. The entire filming span is about 10 years. The role has not yet been determined, and you have a great chance.

This role is somewhat similar to your current role as a policewoman, so I hope you can work harder and be more serious, and solve the problems I mentioned.

Line skills, especially personal accent, you have to focus on it, and develop a long-term systematic approach to solve this problem.

Our film will start shooting next month, and there is not enough time. You can improve as much as you want, but I hope you can solve this problem before "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" starts. "

After hearing Zhou Xia's words, Er Di was a little dazed, but he didn't care about the point of Zhou Xia's point, and said excitedly: "Ghost Blowing the Lantern, Shirley Yang is really mine?"

"Cough, is this the point?" Zhou Xia saw that what he said was gorgeously ignored, and regretted that he didn't say something serious just now.

If he said just now that if the problem cannot be solved, he will choose someone else, would Er Di still be like this?

"Oh, oh, I understand, don't worry, I have been looking for people to ask for advice, and I have been asking for advice from the teachers of the company and the school. They have all provided me with methods. I have made a plan and I am doing it every day. It will definitely improve in three to four months, and it may take half a year or a year to completely change."

Er Di came to his senses, quickly shook Zhou Xia's arm, and responded to him.

"I have a method, I'm already doing it, it's almost the same, tell me how you do it every day?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xia nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask.

Such pressure and motivation can give Erdi the driving force for progress, otherwise it will definitely crush people.
