Chapter 367 Then Come On
Chen Li continued to speak, but Wang Chuhan just nodded dully: "Oh, okay!"
Seeing her reaction like this, Shen Li raised her hand and patted her cheek anxiously: "Chu Han, wake up a little, an actor must be imaginative about the role, this is what the teacher taught us!"
Wang Chuhan took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but after a few attempts, he still had little effect: "A-Li, my mind is blank, what should I do? I can't think anymore..."
"Don't be afraid, just follow my lead. I told you I'd help you. I'll guide you, okay?"
Wang Chuhan nodded quickly, staring into Chen Li's eyes in an attempt to focus more. Chen Li softened her tone so as not to put more pressure on Wang Chuhan, but time was running out and she had to help Wang Chuhan complete this role and the complete settings within the prescribed situation simply and quickly.
"The conflict broke out over your homework. You didn't do it. What excuses do you usually make for not doing your homework?"
Chen Li gently threw the question to Wang Chuhan, guiding her to imagine the scene herself.
Wang Chuhan blinked, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "I forgot to bring it!"
"Right!" Chen Li smiled. "Next, let's assume you and the squad leader don't have a good relationship. You need to set an emotional fulcrum for your relationship. Why do you hate her?"
"I……"
Wang Chuhan was still a little anxious and was stuck for a moment.
Chen Li was not in a hurry and continued to guide her: "Imagine the class monitor as a classmate you hate the most, and then substitute this classmate into the class monitor. The class monitor in front of you is this classmate."
"Think about why you hate this classmate, then why do you hate the class monitor? You must have someone like this in your heart that you hate, right?"
Wang Chuhan nodded, and a classmate from high school flashed through his mind. The two of them looked down on each other and were always quarreling with each other over something!
When the quarrel was at its most intense, the two even started fighting!
The scene was still vivid in Wang Chuhan's mind, and it made him feel at ease.
"Ali, I seem to feel something..."
"Okay, don't rush, take your time, and put yourself in the shoes of the character. Reckless, impulsive, with a bad temper, and a bit of a thorn in the side. Think about it, if you have this kind of personality, what expression and attitude would you have when facing someone you really dislike?"
Wang Chuhan's expression changed: "I want to slap her twice!"
"Then give it to me! Don't suppress your instinctive reactions. When you put your whole heart into the role, all your reactions are correct! Remember what I just told you, you must believe that you can act well. You are "Yu Meng", and no one can act better than you!"
The look in Wang Chuhan's eyes at this moment was completely different from before. Following Chen Li's step-by-step guidance, Wang Chuhan, who had developed a retreating fear of auditions due to repeated failures, was rebuilt into an actor's sense of belief!
Chen Li immediately raised her hand and patted her face lightly, pulling her back from her emotions: "That's enough, don't consume yourself too much now, release it when you get on stage later!"
Now that she had withdrawn from her emotions, Wang Chuhan no longer had the timidity she had at the beginning. Instead, there was a burst of vigorous fireworks in her heart, which made her want to try her best to challenge this role.
"Ali, I don't think I'm afraid anymore. You're amazing. How do you know all this?"
Wang Chuhan had seen Chen Li's ability to get into the role in a second when taking stills, so Wang Chuhan knew that she could act.
But she didn't expect that Chen Li could do so well in helping her get into the role!
Chen Li smiled and said, "Because I've seen so many directors 'teach' actors who can't get into the role on set, and there are also some experiences passed down by seniors, it really comes down to what our first professional class teacher taught us: 'Really listen, really watch, really feel'. You have to believe in the role. After all, the most important thing for an actor is..."
Wang Chuhan grinned and replied, "A sense of belief!"
And everything Chen Li did today was to help her rebuild her sense of belief as an actor!
"Shen Li!"
At this time, Xu Zishan suddenly walked towards her and greeted her.
Chen Li hadn't noticed Xu Zishan the whole time. In fact, Xu Zishan saw the whole process of her helping Wang Chuhan. Seeing that they seemed to have finished, Xu Zishan spoke.
"Hi."
Chen Li was a little surprised by Xu Zishan's initiative, but she still responded naturally. The two had not seen each other for several months since the filming of "The Fate of the Phoenix" was completed.
Wang Chuhan showed a wary look. As Chen Li's friend, she naturally did not have a good face towards Xu Zishan.
Shen Li did not tell anyone about the harassment Xu Zishan suffered on the set. She knew that even if Xu Zishan was the victim, it would definitely bring her bad public opinion if the matter got out, so she did not tell anyone.
Shen Li noticed that Xu Zishan was holding a mobile phone in her hand, and guessed that she must be here for an audition as well, so she took the initiative to ask, "Have you chosen a role? Who do you want to audition this time?"
She spoke in a friendly tone, as if she were talking to a friend.
Xu Zishan looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Which role are you going to try out for?"
"I?"
"Yeah." Xu Zishan nodded calmly: "Whatever role you try out for, I'll try out for that role."
This sentence was somewhat provocative, and Chen Li's expression could not help but change slightly.
She originally thought that the other party's proactive greeting meant that his hostility towards her had dissipated, but now it seems that this was not the case.
Seeing this, Wang Chuhan couldn't help but say, "What? Are you asking your dad to invest in her to steal Ah Li's role again? You're making a wrong calculation. Ah Li isn't auditioning today. She's signed on to play Sister Kuan. Do you think she'll be short of roles?"
Xu Zishan automatically ignored the rest of Wang Chuhan's words, and just frowned as she looked at Chen Li and asked, "Aren't you going to audition?"
Shen Li nodded gently: "I came here with Chu Han."
Xu Zishan's heart sank when she heard this, and then she began to think carefully about Wang Chuhan's words.
Yes, Shen Li signed with Sister Kuan, so she may not need to audition anymore...
Then who is she comparing herself with?
How can she prove that she is better than Chen Li?
"I never thought of competing with you, and you don't have to think of me as your opponent. I don't want to be anyone's opponent." Chen Li saw through her psychological activities and said lightly.
Xu Zishan looked at her and suddenly sneered, "Don't you want to, or do you disdain it?"
"You..." Chen Li looked puzzled and said in a surprised tone, "Why do you think I despise you? We didn't even know each other. It was you who took the initiative to embarrass me in the beginning. I never thought of competing with you!"
"Competition is the law of this industry. It's not something you can avoid whether you want to or not. Chen Li, I won't lose to you!"
Chen Li only felt that Xu Zishan had become more inexplicable than before. She sighed speechlessly and lost the desire to communicate with the other party: "Then you do your best."
