Chapter 78 Acting Breakthrough
Since filming that scene, Lin Zhimo and Zhang Ziyi will always inexplicably fall into an awkward atmosphere when they are alone. Lin Zhimo wants to avoid it but is afraid that Zhang Ziyi will misunderstand, while Zhang Ziyi is expecting it in her heart but dare not let go due to the girl's reserve.
Fortunately, the scenes of the two in the desert were almost finished. A few days later, the crew moved to Anji County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province to shoot the scenes of the bamboo forest. Of course, after the filming here, the whole movie was completed.
Anji County is located in the northwest of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. It is an open scenic spot. Of course, the most famous one here is the bamboo. It is known as "China's No. 1 Bamboo Township". It is the first country and ecological county in my country. At the same time, the white tea here is also very famous. Lin Zhimo even believes that the reason why Li An came here to shoot the scenes of the bamboo forest fighting was to taste the local specialty white tea.
Just the next day after arriving in Anji County, Lin Zhimo met Yang Ziqiong and Fa Ge Zhou Runfa again.
"Hello Sister Qiong, we're meeting again, haha... Hey, Sister Qiong looks much younger than last time." Lin Zhimo said enthusiastically.
If someone else said this, Yang Ziqiong would not be happy or even feel that the other party was very slippery, but the same words came out of Lin Zhimo's mouth but didn't know why, but they gave people a very sincere feeling. So Yang Ziqiong felt very helpful and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise... Come, Zhimo, I'll introduce you to you. This is Fa Ge, don't tell me you don't know."
Lin Zhimo quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Hello, Brother Fa, I am Lin Zhimo, you can call me Zhimo or Sesame. What I like to watch most since I was a child is the film and television works you starred in, especially the autumn fairy tale starring you and Hong Gu. It is simply my favorite. I have watched it repeatedly many times."
Zhou Runfa smiled at Lin Zhimo and said, "You are so Zhimo, I know you too. You are very good at writing songs!" But he was secretly unable to hide his curiosity about Lin Zhimo.
When Yang Ziqiong held a banquet in Xiangjiang last time, Zhou Runfa did not attend because of something, but he also heard about the fact that Li Zekai and Lin Zhimo, the unknown man, had talked in the room for more than an hour. Especially after someone later spread the story of Lin Zhimo's disagreement with Zheng Zhigang at the banquet of the eldest son of the Huo family, some people claiming to be well-informed had a deep question about the true identity of Lin Zhimo, a mainland artist.
"Wow, really, have you heard my song?" Lin Zhimo's tone revealed a perfect surprise, which would not make Zhou Runfa feel pretentious, but also made him feel Lin Zhimo's sincerity.
Zhou Runfa nodded and said, "Mu Mei often praises your strength in my ears."
After having the common point of Mei Gu, the few people began to get familiar with each other while talking.
Zhang Ziyi looked at Lin Zhimo and Yang Ziqiong and Zhou Runfa talking and laughing, and couldn't help but feel envious. You know, Zhang Ziyi was one month earlier than Lin Zhimo, but her relationship with Zhou Runfa is probably not as good as Lin Zhimo. What's more important is that Zhang Ziyi can see that Zhou Runfa's attitude towards Lin Zhimo was not that kind of perfunctory harmony, but a real love from the bottom of her heart.
However, Zhang Ziyi also knew that Lin Zhimo's personality was born to be the type that could be able to get along anywhere. She even suspected that even if Lin Zhimo was thrown on the Antarctic continent, he would be able to make friends with the penguin.
Director Li An, who was standing by, looked at Lin Zhimo's Cantonese proficiency in a different way. This movie will be released in Xiangjiang in the future. If Lin Zhimo's original soundtrack can be used, it will undoubtedly add a lot of color to the film.
During the subsequent filming process, Lin Zhimo even saw how a generation of "acting gods" performed. The character Li Mubai seemed to be at ease under Zhou Runfa's control. He had neither exaggerated movements nor artificial expressions. Everything seemed to be natural, without the slightest fireworks.
Lin Zhimo felt the gap between himself and a real top actor for the first time. The gap was not based on the acting skills of external performance, but to be more precise, it should be a kind of spiritual temperament, how to grasp the unique temperament of the character he played.
It has to be said that after the integration of the king's genes, Lin Zhimo's understanding of acting has increased explosively.
Before, Lin Zhimo's acting skills improved more by the director's strict requirements and his own thinking behind closed doors. However, now in front of Zhou Runfa, Lin Zhimo has another unique understanding, which is a kind of desire for victory and defeat.
If improving acting skills according to the director's requirements is a passive cramming education, then Lin Zhimo is now really starting to actively learn how to grasp the inner self of a character and explore the unique charm of each character.
So Lin Zhimo began to try to experience Luo Xiaohu's heart. This was different from the experience school, because he asked Lin Zhimo to be able to jump out of the character Luo Xiaohu anytime and anywhere to restore himself, but Lin Zhimo did not think so much, but thought that he should experience the character's heart, but he did not master the specific method.
The result of this is that Lin Zhimo's condition began to rise and fall in the next few days. Sometimes his free performance could make everyone's eyes shine, but sometimes even the lowest requirement is far from Li An.
Lin Zhimo has been very dissatisfied with his state these days. He tried to control himself from making breakthroughs, but he found that he was already in a difficult state. If he gave up the breakthrough now, he might not even be able to achieve his previous acting skills.
That day, when Lin Zhimo was holding his hair and worried about it, Zhou Runfa came to Lin Zhimo.
"Zhimo, have you ever heard such a sentence?" Zhou Runfa unscrewed a bottle of water, took a sip and said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhimo was a little surprised.
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Zhou Runfa said quietly as if he was a moral monk, looking at the mountains in the distance with his eyes.
A light of inspiration flashed through Lin Zhimo's mind, but when he wanted to catch it, he couldn't catch it. He asked hesitantly: "Brother Fa... what do you mean..."
Zhou Runfa still did not directly give Lin Zhimo a definite answer, but told a story.
It tells the story of monk Daoyi of the Tang Dynasty.
When Daoyi was young, he went to Jie Temple in Hengshan and sat in meditation all day long. At that time, Zen Master Nanyue Huairang lived in Prajna Temple. Seeing that he was very extraordinary, he went to ask him, "What are you trying to sit in meditation?"
Tao Yi said: "Picture to be a Buddha."
Huairang then took a brick and grinded it on the stone in front of the temple.
Daoyi said, "Master, what are you doing for grinding bricks?"
Huairang said: "Grind into a mirror."
Daoyi said: "How can a brick be used as a mirror?"
Huairang said: "Since you can't grind a brick to make a mirror, how can you become a Buddha when you sit in meditation?"
After telling this story, Zhou Runfa looked at Lin Zhimo faintly.
Lin Zhimo scratched his head, feeling that Zhou Runfa seemed to be enlightening him, thinking that his behavior is a bit inconsistent and he has not done it with the flow, but Lin Zhimo is now aware of his own suffering, and even if he doesn't want to try to break through, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fa, I understand what you mean, but now I feel that if I give up, not only will my previous efforts be wasted, but my previous acting skills may also be..."
Zhou Runfa said seriously: "Since you can't let go, then pick it up!"
Lin Zhimo was stunned, then suddenly woke up, feeling like drinking and relaxing all over.
Understanding is comprehension, but if you want to make a real breakthrough, you still need to work hard. However, after Zhou Runfa's guidance, Lin Zhimo is at least on the right path and is no longer wandering around.
Lin Zhimo's changes were not hidden from the staff of the same crew. Everyone knew that Lin Zhimo was on the verge of a breakthrough. And his changes were incredible, especially those who had seen Lin Zhimo's acting skills before, which made it even more incredible. You must know that this kind of breakthrough is not something that everyone can achieve, because if Lin Zhimo makes another breakthrough, he will be able to achieve Zhou Runfa's acting skills. After all, Lin Zhimo's starting point is too high.
Just like a 100-meter race, from thirteen seconds to twelve seconds, ordinary people can complete it after hard training; from twelve seconds to eleven seconds to eleven seconds is not difficult to achieve with extraordinary talent; but from eleven seconds to ten seconds, it is not something that can be achieved by talent or diligence. Without amazing talent and a hundred times and thousands of times hard work than ordinary people, it is impossible to do it; as for wanting to enter nine seconds from ten seconds, it can be said that it is impossible to achieve unless the once-in-a-century genius is a once-in-a-century genius.
But now, Lin Zhimo is about to break through to Zhou Runfa's realm, which shocked everyone. How old is Lin Zhimo? He is still a young man who is only 20 years old after all. Zhou Runfa had just entered the wireless acting class when he was 20 years old and was still playing supporting roles. Is Lin Zhimo going to achieve Zhou Runfa's acting skills?
This fact even makes others unable to feel jealous because it is so much worse.
Today we are going to film the scene where Luo Xiaohu, played by Lin Zhimo, made a big fuss about Yu Jiaolong's wedding, was rescued by Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, and then the two persuaded Luo Xiaohu to explain.
I heard Yu Xiulian ask, "Do you really think she will go back to Xinjiang with you?"
Lin Zhimo didn't know why, but he felt that various thoughts suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he fell into a wonderful world, as if he was Luo Xiaohu at this moment.
Lin Zhimo raised his head, and a pathological fanaticism appeared in his eyes. It was the look of despair after countless efforts but finally failed. However, there was a numb and indifferent expression on his face. He murmured to himself: "She is mine, mine."
Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong naturally felt the difference between Lin Zhimo at this time, and knew that he had stepped on the verge of breaking through. Zhou Runfa also said carefully: "No matter whether she is yours or not, if you really love her, you wouldn't say that."
Lin Zhimo raised his head and looked at Zhou Run. A look of pain appeared on his face, but it was more fragile after being hit. Then he slowly lowered his head.
Moved by Lin Zhimo's performance, Yang Ziqiong blurted out and said, "Don't you want to see Yu Jiaolong again?"
Lin Zhimo suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his eyes burst out with a hopeful light and looked at Yu Xiulian. Then the spirit in his eyes dimmed, and a desperate gray color began to appear on his face.
Zhou Run sighed and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter in hand. You can take it to Wudang Mountain and wait for my news there."
Lin Zhimo raised his head, his lips opened, but he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally lowered his head.
"Good! Perfect!" Li An was amazed at the performances of the three of them, especially Lin Zhimo. It can be said that after experiencing this breakthrough, he has officially entered the ranks of the king of acting skills, and the only thing he missed was a representative work.
Lin Zhimo also escaped from that wonderful world at this time. When he came to his senses, he also realized that he had made a breakthrough and his acting skills had been qualitatively improved.
Lin Zhimo quickly bowed to Zhou Runfa and said sincerely: "Brother Fa, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would probably have taken away many detours."
Zhou Runfa waved his hand, and was amazed at Lin Zhimo's understanding, saying, "I just played a catalyst, the most important thing is your own efforts. Otherwise, no matter how much I remind you, it would be like using a brick mirror."
When Lin Zhimo heard Zhou Runfa mention the story again, he smiled and suddenly asked, "Brother Fa, where did you hear the story? I think it's so Zen."
Zhou Run laughed and said, "You read more books yourself, there is a golden house in the books."
Lin Zhimo nodded and said yes. In fact, Lin Zhimo read a lot of books on weekdays, but just like the meaning revealed in the last conversation with Mei Yanfang, because he was not very interested in Buddhism, Lin Zhimo had never read Buddhist books.
