Chapter 824 Keep a distance from the audience
While Running Man in China continues to become popular, the "Future Apocalypse" far away in Ireland is also filming in an orderly manner. July is coming soon, and the country is already hot in summer, and the temperature in Ireland is still only a dozen degrees, which is very cool. Zhang Ran is very moved by this and it is the right thing to bring the crew here to film.
That day, after taking a shot, Zhang Ran was about to announce his rest. The worker came over to tell Zhang Ran that Zhang Ran had a student coming to visit the set. Zhang Ran was very happy. Which little bastard actually ran to Ireland to visit my class, and didn't say hello in advance. Are you trying to surprise me?
When he arrived at the entrance of the crew, Zhang Ran saw a beautiful girl wearing a white T-shirt, tight jeans, and a slender figure waved to him. Isn’t this a big sweetheart? Zhang Ran was surprised and walked over and asked, “Jingtian, why did you come here?”
Jingtian bowed to Zhang Ran politely: "Hello Teacher Zhang! The school is on holiday, I am here to travel. I heard that Teacher Zhang is filming here, so I come to see it."
Seeing Jingtian's eyes flashing, Zhang Ran knew that he was lying, and asked, "Are you really fake when you are traveling in Ireland?"
Jingtian nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's true. I've long thought of traveling to Ireland!"
Zhang Ran asked with a smile: "Then where are you going to travel in Ireland?"
"Ah, this, this!" Jingtian was stunned and quickly touched his assistant with his elbow and asked, "By the way, where are we going to travel in Ireland this time?"
The assistant was also stunned. We were here to find Teacher Zhang this time. How did I know where to travel? But the assistant responded quickly: "Dublin, let's travel to Dublin!"
Zhang Ran didn't point it out, and nodded with a smile and said, "So that's the case. The scenery in Ireland is good, and there are indeed many places worth visiting. You can take you to the crew for a walk, and then you can continue traveling!"
Jingtian knew that Zhang Ran had seen through her trick, so he said the truth: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, I lied just now. Actually, I'm not here to travel to Ireland, but to come to find you specifically. Running Man has just finished broadcasting recently. Now I'm already famous, so I really want to thank you in person. And that's right." She looked at Zhang Ran, looked pitiful and said: "It's not that the holiday now. I have nothing to do. I want to learn from you on the crew?"
Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "My current identity is a director. You are not a director department and what can I learn from me? But since you are here specially, let's play on the crew for two days. It's good to see how others act. Go home quickly after playing for two days!"
Jingtian smiled happily and said: I know there are many amazing actors in this drama, such as Robert De Niro and Matt Damon, who are just about to see the world!" As she said that, she tried hard to pick up a cardboard box at her feet: "Teacher Zhang, this is the gift I bought for visiting the set!"
"What is this? It's quite heavy!" Zhang Ran took the cardboard box from Jingtian and asked. Da Tiantian is a rich man. If it's a small gift, it's okay to accept it. If it's a valuable gift, it will definitely not be accepted.
"It's Lao Gan Ma. I heard others say that the things in the UK are very unpalatable. It's a dark country. I also heard Jia Niaoliang and the others say that the food in the crew is very unpalatable. In the past, they would bring some Lao Gan Ma to serve when filming, so I'll bring some Lao Gan Ma to you." Jing Tian said with a smile.
Britain is indeed a country of dark cuisine, and Ireland was ruled by Britain for more than 800 years and was only independent in the last century. Naturally, Irish food will not be much better. This time the crew went to Ireland to film in Ireland this time with a special chef team, Chinese chefs and American chefs, so the crew members don’t have to eat those unpalatable dark cuisines.
Zhang Ran smiled at Jing Tian and said, "I'll get my heart. I'll give these Lao Ganma to others later. Zhao Fei and the others like this very much. Come with me!"
Jing Tian smiled and said "yes", and followed Zhang Ran into the crew with his assistant.
Taking Jingtian to the command center, Zhang Ran introduced her to the crew staff: "This is Jingtian, a student of Beijing Film Academy, and I am also my junior. I have to play in the crew for two days. Everyone should take care of her whenever I have time. But if she makes trouble, don't be polite. Teach the lessons as you should." He introduced to Jingtian again: "This is Teacher Zhao Fei from the Photography Department of our school! This is Matt Damon! This is Robert De Niro..."
Jingtian has a good education and greets everyone very politely.
After saying hello to the crew members, Zhang Ran opened the cardboard box, took out the Lao Gan Ma inside, and distributed it to everyone. Zhao Fei and the others did not need explanation. Zhang Ran yelled at Matt Damon and others: "This is the top hot sauce in China, the best among spicy sauces, and the favorite of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of thousands of years. If you eat this hot sauce dipped in bread, you can swallow your tongue."
Matt Damon and the others were stunned by Zhang Ran, and they all regarded it as very precious gifts, especially the foodie Robert De Niro said that they must try this top Chinese hot sauce after they go back.
After distributing Lao Ganma in the cardboard box, Zhang Ran said to Jingtian: "You should be thirsty when you run so far. Go to the dining area there to have a cold drink. There is a buffet there, serving a variety of fresh fruits, snacks, barbecue, and drinks."
Jingtian was a foodie. When he heard all kinds of delicious food, his saliva almost flowed out and immediately said, "Really, I happened to be a little thirsty. Then Teacher Zhang, let's go and find some drinks first!"
In the next few days, Jing Tian stayed on the crew. Jing Tian had a good personality and quickly got along with the crew staff. Even foreigners liked Matt Damon and others like her very much and thought this girl was very cute.
After lunch that day, Zhang Ran called Jingtian over and asked, "Jingtian, I've been in the crew for three days, do you feel okay?"
Jingtian was in a very happy mood and smiled at Zhang Ran Mingming: "I feel very good. Everyone treats me very well, and the food is very delicious!"
Zhang Ran was so amused that this girl was such a foodie. Finally, she said, "Then you go home after playing for two more days, so as not to worry the family!"
Jingtian shouted as soon as he heard this: "I won't go back, Teacher Zhang, I want to learn performance from you!"
Zhang Ran frowned and said, "I have been teaching students for two classes. In my first class, I will tell them that performance is not something that I can't teach, and the key is to experience and understand it yourself! Your teacher has taught you what you should teach in the freshman year and doesn't need to learn from me anymore. If you really want to achieve grades in performance, you should do this, try to take less acting, just one or two movies a year. Before acting, you can prepare for three months to experience life, then sort out the biography of the characters, find out the highest tasks and actions, mark the accent of each line, and write out the subtext. If you can insist on doing this before each play, then five years later, you should be better than 90% of domestic actors and don't need anyone to teach you!"
Jingtian looked at Zhang Ran and said, "But everyone said that only by learning from you can you become the best actor!"
"Become the best actor? Then I'll ask you." The expression on Zhang Ran's face suddenly became serious: "You really like acting, do you really want to be a good actor?"
Jingtian took it for granted without thinking: "Of course it's true, especially true!"
Zhang Ran stared at Jing Tian for a few seconds and said calmly: "If you really want to be an actor and a good actor, then the first thing you have to do is to quit Running Man."
Jingtian asked in surprise: "Why?"
Zhang Ran explained: "As actors, you must keep a distance from the audience. Look at big stars like Matt Damon and Robert De Niro, they are basically in the rhythm of one or two dramas a year, they don't shoot advertisements, and they don't appear on TV shows during non-promotional periods, just to keep a distance from the audience. In fact, it's not just Europe and the United States, but Japan and South Korea have relatively mature markets, and movie actors rarely appear on variety shows during non-promotional periods. Because actors are a profession that needs to maintain a sense of mystery. If the audience knows this actor too well, such as Deng Chao, after participating in Running Man, his image in everyone's mind is funny. This impression is too deep, and it will be much more difficult for the audience to watch him play a serious role. Deng Chao and his acting skills are already relatively mature, and the situation is relatively better. An actor like you who has not yet mature acting skills are more serious."
Jing Tian was stunned for a while before saying, "Then why did you let Jia Niaoliang participate in Running Man?"
Zhang Ran shook his head and said helplessly: "Because he doesn't want to be a simple actor, he especially wants to become a famous one, so he gave him this opportunity. Movies are the art of directors, TV series are the art of screenwriters, and drama is the art of actors. The stage of drama is the highest stage of actors. If you really love acting and just want to be a good actor, then you should act in a drama!"
Jingtian wanted to act in a movie, but he didn't want to act in a drama. He shook his head and said, "I prefer movie performance."
Zhang Ran looked at Jing Tian's eyes and slowly said: "You say this to mean that you don't really love performance, at least not all, you prefer the light and shine brought by movies. Film performances are fragmented, and a shot can only be performed for a few seconds, and emotions will be interrupted again and again, and you will not give you the possibility of a complete performance. There is no ng in dramas. Every performance is completed at one time, without special effects, and no post-production. It is the actor who truly shows his own stage. This is the real performance!"
Zhang Ran paused for a moment and continued: "One of my students named Zhang Zichen, who has a good image and good acting skills. After playing "Three Fools", he was already a little famous. If he continued to develop, he would not be worse than Jia Niaoliang, but he resolutely chose dramas. Yu Shaoqun, the one who played the young Mei Lanfang in the movie "Mei Lanfang", won many newcomers awards last year and attracted great attention. At the beginning of this year, he became a disciple of Feng Yuanzhen, and then he was about to act in dramas with Feng Yuanzhen. A young actor, who had just become popular, was able to give up exposure, give up movies and TV, and join the drama stage. This is the person who really wants to be an actor and truly loves acting."
Jingtian was silent, even a little confused. She always felt that she liked acting, but she really wanted to let go of Running Man and let go of everything she had gained to perform in a drama. She really couldn't do it, just like Teacher Zhang said, she didn't like acting at all, but just liked the light and shine brought by the movie?
Zhang Ran never thought that there was anything wrong with becoming a star. It was normal to like the shining stage of movies. But he didn't like the kind of behavior that clearly didn't have much enthusiasm for performance, but wanted to become famous, but he loved acting one by one.
Zhang Ran said coldly: "Think about it carefully, what do you like? Do you really want to be an actor or become a big star? Once you have the answer, work hard in that direction. Don't just keep the word "actor" casually, these two words are very heavy!"
Chapter completed!
