Ni Ni was extremely shocked and came to her senses after a while: "How did you know?

Zhang Ran touched his chin and said inexplicably: "I am your master's master. How could you hide the little thoughts of a hairy girl like you from my old man's eyes? Last night, you probably didn't sleep well and made a lot of preparations for this scene, but you still can't get into the scene, right?"

Ni Ni was completely stunned. As Zhang Ran said, in order to ensure that she was in good mood during the filming, she started to brew emotions last night and watched "The Dream of the Bridge" specifically. She cried so hard that she found that her eyes were swollen when she woke up this morning. When she put on makeup before the filming, she heard sad music and did enough preparations, but when it came to the actual shooting, she still couldn't get into the state.

A few years ago, Ni Ni watched a movie "100% Men". The male protagonist in it can read the mind and see through other people's hearts. She thought to herself, is Zhang Ran able to read the mind? This idea made her feel extremely panicked. What is more terrifying than being seen through by others and being exposed to all her secrets? She looked at Zhang Ran in horror, her eyes evading, for fear that Zhang Ran would see through the bad thoughts in her heart.

Seeing Ni Ni's eyes terrified and alert, Zhang Ran knew that she had thought it was a bit off and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't know how to read the mind!"

Ni Ni almost jumped up: "If you don't know how to read minds, how could you know that I was wondering if you know how to read minds?"

Zhang Ran laughed at this: "I induce you through problems, and then analyze it based on your expression and reaction. It is the same as a fortune teller on the street. As an actor, observing characters is a basic skill. As long as you observe more and accumulate more in daily life, you can do it. I really don't know how to read minds!" He paused and said with a smile: "I am here to help you solve the problem of not being able to get into the role!"

Ni Ni thought about it carefully and laughed. It turns out that she was thinking too much. How could this world have a mind-reading technique? She looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Director, then do you have any way to get me into the show?"

Zhang Ran spread his hands and said, "Now I am not very clear about your abilities and mastering those skills. I must first figure out this issue. Now tell me, what is the specific content of the training Guo Zhen has conducted for you and what have you taught?"

Ni Ni immediately started talking. After taking over the training of actors in "The Flowers of War", Guo Zhen mainly brought Ni Ni and the others closer to the role in terms of life details. From playing cards, sitting postures to holding cigarettes and wine during mahjong, all the postures in the mirror have to be trained. Just practicing walking in cheongsams and high heels has never stopped during the three months of training, and they were asked to imagine themselves as a snake when walking and walk out of the swaying body curves. In addition to these targeted training, they were also given basic performance training, including seven strengths and four senses, and no physical training.

After listening to Ni Ni's introduction, Zhang Ran nodded slightly. Guo Zhen's training for Ni Ni and the others should be effective. Ni Ni and the others are ordinary female students and have nothing to do with Fengchen, but now Ni Ni and the others have a strong sense of moral integrity, and their state is very close to the characters. Ni Ni cannot get into the play, the key is that the actor who plays the opposite scene is Cruise. She is under too much pressure and has too many distracting thoughts in her heart and is seriously lacking in self-confidence. Being an actor is very important. If an actor does not have self-confidence, it is difficult to act well. To solve Ni Ni's problem, you must be clear about her inner distracting thoughts and let her relax. The most important thing is to restore her confidence.

It is easy to make Ni Ni's inner distractions clear, so it is easy to let her relax. It is okay to do puppet training or do yoga, but it is a bit troublesome to improve her confidence. Zhang Ran pondered for a few seconds, had an idea, and asked, "Ni Ni, do you know what Chinese drama originated from?"

Ni Ni had not learned performance systematically, but how could she know this? She shook her head gently and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Ran said slowly: "Chinese traditional drama originated from witchcraft, which is what we call wizards. These wizards dance gods and actually entertain ghosts and gods through singing and dancing. Their function is to communicate between humans and gods. This is a solemn and sacred task. However, with the development of time, witches gradually became superior and became actors. Therefore, the ancients said that witches enjoy Gods and people with excellence."

Ni Ni made a sudden realization and felt strange. Why did she say this? What does it have to do with me not being able to get into the show?

Zhang Ran continued: "Precisely because traditional Chinese dramas were developed on the witchcraft, Chinese opera actors, and even many drama actors, hold a ceremony called worshiping the Taiwan before the official performance. Everyone believes that the stage has a spirit. They can communicate with the stage and communicate with the gods before the performance. When worshiping the Taiwan, they are closest to the gods. After worshiping the Taiwan, the actors are often particularly relaxed and the performance effect is also very good. For movie actors, this method is also effective, so we will hold the worshiping ceremony next!"

Ni Ni was very surprised. Isn’t this feudal superstition? A big director like you actually believed this? But she remembered that the crew held a worship ceremony before the filming was started. It seemed that it was not surprising that worshiping the station before the performance. She said skeptically: “Can this work?”

Zhang Ran said nonsensely: "Of course, I didn't know this method before. An old actor taught me when he was in the 2005 level. Once when I was filming, a newcomer in the crew could not get into the state, nor could he get into the role. I tried all kinds of methods. In the end, an old actor in the crew could not bear to watch it anymore, so he said to me, Director, let me try it! Then the old actor took the newcomer to worship Taiwan, and after the worship, the newcomer really acted. At that time, I was shocked and asked the old actor, what was going on? In the end, the old actor taught me the way he worshiped Taiwan. Now, students in the 2005 level basically worshiped Taiwan before the official performance, and Zhang Jingchu would also worship Taiwan before the performance, which is really effective!"

When Ni Ni heard that this was Zhang Ran’s personal experience, and that the 2005 and Zhang Jingchu would pay homage to the stage before the performance. Although she still had some doubts, she believed it five points. After all, "Dragon Group" has been very popular recently, and the starring students are students of the 2005. Their acting skills are very outstanding, and Zhang Jingchu is even more powerful. Not only is she a Berlin actress, she also won an Oscar nomination.

It is certain that so many powerful actors believe that they will worship Taiwan before the performance.

Ni Ni immediately said, "Director, then let's hurry up and pay homage to the stage, everyone is still waiting for me!"

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be impatient, so let's start! Now you stand up and face the performance venue, with your hands clasped together like me. The reporter should be pious in his heart, don't have distracting thoughts, and be sincere in his heart. Just worship this three times!"

Ni Ni clasped her hands together as Zhang Ran, cleared her distracting thoughts, and bowed meticulously, making her look extremely pious.

The on-site staff, actors, and Zhang Yimou behind the monitor didn't know what Zhang Ran and the others were, and they all felt strange. Many people whispered: "What are Zhang Ran and Ni Ni doing?"

"It seems like you're worshiping something?"

"This is a worship of Taiwan. In the past, old actors often worshiped Taiwan before performing, which is similar to worshiping God when they are on the camera!"

"Ni Ni can't get into the show. Can you make Ni Ni enter the show by worshipping Taiwan? Just kidding!"

"Zhang Ran's acting teacher has taught her students that are very good in acting. The actors in his movies are also very good. He has certainly made sense for him to take Ni Ni to the table! Let's talk about it!"

After Ni Ni bowed devoutly, Zhang Ran said: "Let's carry out the second part of this ceremony. Now you stand with your feet apart, shoulder-width, and your arms naturally droop on both sides of your body. First, raise your left hand, put down, raise your right hand, and put down; now raise your hands at the same time, stretch your fingers as far as possible, and the hand is 45 degrees with your torso. Your hands are not up to 45 degrees, just move up a little, and keep this position in this position. Heaven and earth have spirits, and all things have spirits. Now close your eyes and don't think about anything, quietly feel the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth..."

Not far away, the staff asked the old man who had seen the visiting Taiwan: "How long will it take to visit Taiwan? What are they doing now?"

The man shook his head: "It is complicated to worship Taiwan and need to light incense burners, but it is usually very simple. He just stands on the stage, folds his hands together and bows to the stage. I don't know what they are doing. I have never seen anyone worshiping Taiwan like this before!"

Five minutes later, Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "The ceremony is over, you can open your eyes." After Ni Ni opened her eyes, he asked with a smile, "How do you feel now?"

When she was worshiping Taiwan, Ni Ni didn't have any special feelings, but now she suddenly found that she was very calm, relaxed, nervous, and all kinds of negative emotions had disappeared. She was extremely shocked and said in a lost voice: "I feel very good now, and worshiping Taiwan seems to be really useful!"

Zhang Ran snorted and said, "If it's useless to worship Taiwan, will I ask you to worship?" Seeing that Ni Ni was a little embarrassed, he laughed: "You are in a very good condition now, and you will definitely be able to perform well this time. You are here to play silently, I will tell Lao Tao, and the filming will officially start in five minutes!"

Ni Ni nodded, found a quiet corner, closed her eyes and played silently.

The shooting officially began in five minutes.

In the camera lens, Ni Ni, who was originally smiling, suddenly became sad: "I have also studied at the church school for six years."

Tom Cruise suddenly realized and said, "Where did you learn English?"

Ni Ni did not answer, as if she was trapped in memories, her eyes quickly turned red, and her expression became more and more sad.

Zhang Yimou, behind the monitor, slapped his thigh: "Here! Ni Ni has entered the role!"

Cruise felt Ni Ni's sadness and asked carefully: "What happened later?"

Ni Ni smiled bitterly, shook her head gently and said, "It's just another unfortunate story. You, a passerby, will not be interested."

Cruise said with great certainty: "I'm interested, tell me."

Ni Ni did not answer, a tear flowed out of her slightly moist left eye and slowly flowed down her white cheeks. She turned to look at Cruise, with sadness in her words and a little unfairness: "My life shouldn't have been like this!"

The staff on the scene were shocked by Ni Ni's performance. No one expected that Ni Ni, who was unable to enter the show half an hour ago, was so anxious that she suddenly performed so well. This performance was simply amazing! Zhang Ran deserves to be Zhang Ran, and he directed the actors so amazing!

Zhang Yimou, who was sitting behind the monitor, was shocked when he saw Ni Ni's tears rolling out. The tears were just right. The sad eyes were heartbreaking, and the whole performance was extremely perfect. He said excitedly: "This is the effect I want, this is the jade mo I want!"

After this shot passed, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Ran and asked curiously: "How did you do it?"

Zhang Ran smiled mysteriously: "I took her to worship the Taiwan ceremony just now, and she was protected by the gods!"

Zhang Yimou was not willing to believe it. He knew that Zhang Ran was fooling himself and said with a smile: "Don't fool me, the old man, how did you do it?"
