Chapter 57 Chapter 57 It turns out you love the stage too
"Is this expression okay?" Lu Yao didn't notice Bai You's guilty conscience. He focused on the picture on his phone, which was playing the clip of the woman walking out of the palace gate over and over again.
Bai You came back to his senses. It was no use feeling guilty. No matter whether they could do it or not, they had to try. It was impossible to say that they couldn't do it before the results came out.
“It’s this expression.”
"I understand." Lu Yao stood up and walked to the mirror.
Bai You quickly caught up and stood beside Lu Yao.
Lu Yao stopped in front of the mirror, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had completely changed.
Under Bai You's gaze, Lu Yao's facial features seemed to come alive instantly. They were trembling, forming a complex expression on Lu Yao's face.
Through the mirror, Bai You met Lu Yao's gaze, and his heart suddenly stopped.
This expression is exactly the same as in the movie.
"Wow!" Bai You's eyes widened in disbelief. He leaned over to look at Lu Yao's expression, which was exactly the same as the one in the mirror. What he had just seen was not an illusion! "How did you do that?"
Lu Yao can actually make the same expressions as in the movie!
Is this still a human being?
With such exaggerated performance, it is obvious that Bai You is very satisfied with Lu Yao's imitation.
Lu Yao's lips curled up, and his face returned to its usual calm expression. He pointed at the phone in Bai You's hand and said, "I learned it by following."
Upon hearing this, Bai You lowered his head to look at his phone, then looked up at Lu Yao.
"Is that really the case?"
But can this thing be learned just by watching it? !
Or is this expression not difficult to learn?
Bai You doubted, Bai You tried.
He leaned over to the mirror and started making expressions.
Facial expression management is a magical ability. The facial features on the face seem to have expressions naturally and do not need to be deliberately controlled. When the mood changes, they will move by themselves and form different expressions.
However, when people try to deliberately control their expressions, this innate ability seems to fail.
Just like Bai You is now.
He raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and his facial features moved all over the place, but none of them stopped where they should.
This is no longer a struggle, it is a hideousness.
Bai You gave up: "It's so difficult!"
He looked back at Lu Yao, still a little bit unconvinced, "What if you do it again?"
Lu Yao did it again as he was told.
"So strong." Bai You couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"So, if you just follow these instructions, you can make all these expressions?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes."
Bai You was practically in awe. "That's incredible. Did you learn your stage expressions this way, too?"
After the official concert photos came out, Bai You went to watch them one by one. He was particularly impressed by Lu Yao's performance.
He had known the others for many years, and he was very clear about their strengths and expressiveness, but Lu Yao was completely unfamiliar to him. Lu Yao's singing and dancing abilities could be seen in his usual practice, but on the stage, with complete makeup, lighting, and the blessing of the live atmosphere, Lu Yao's performance was completely different from that in the practice room.
It's totally impossible to look away.
Lu Yao's expressiveness is so mature that he doesn't look like a trainee who has only practiced for a month or two.
If you ask Bai You what is the hardest part of performing on stage as a trainee or an idol, he would not say singing or dancing, but expressiveness.
In terms of singing and dancing, few idols can compare with professional singers and dancers, but the difference between idols and them is that the idols' stage is not just about singing and dancing, it is a complete dual expression of hearing and vision.
Under the special stage design, every second of the idols' performance on stage is a combination of music, dance moves and expressions. What they perform is not a song or a dance, but an infectious expression blended together.
Therefore, expressiveness is the ability that trainees need to possess most.
Facial expression management is an indispensable part of expressiveness.
Trainees who have just started practicing usually do not have this ability. Just singing a song and dancing a dance on the stage is enough to exhaust their minds, not to mention making facial expressions that are consistent with the stage expression while singing and dancing, and the expressions must be beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Before he started practicing facial expression management, Bai You thought it was not a difficult thing. After all, compared to whether the singing is good or the dancing is beautiful, the facial expressions on the stage are almost invisible without a close-up shot.
Even if you see it, the evaluation of whether the expression is good or bad is often very subjective.
And expressions, eh? Who doesn't know how to make them? Who doesn't know how to laugh, cry, or get angry? Do you need to learn them specifically?
But when Bai You really paid attention to this matter, he found that it was more difficult than he had imagined.
It is very difficult, too difficult, to keep beautiful facial expressions while dancing with all your strength, and to make strong expressions that match the stage style in close-up shots.
Could it be that Bai You spent two full years on the first step to ensure that his expressions would not break down on stage, and then spent another two years on the second step? Until now, he is still learning and thinking about how to create memorable expressions suitable for different stages.
As for Lu Yao, who was attending a concert for the first time, his expression was always on point in the official photos, and in the close-up shots, he even made an expression that he considered perfect.
Facing Bai You's inquiring eyes, Lu Yao took out his phone and said, "I learned the previous stage by watching the video."
Bai You looked down and saw the original stage of "CRAZY".
Lu Yao did not sing or dance in the last concert, and the company did not make any special adaptations to the singing and dancing stage of the first concert. They used the original choreography and arrangement. What is playing on Lu Yao's mobile phone now is the original stage of "CRAZY", a performance by a boy group from a talent show.
Only after seeing this did Bai You realize that Lu Yao's performance at the concert was very similar to this original stage.
"Oh!" Bai You suddenly realized that Lu Yao had copied the original version bit by bit. No wonder it was so suitable. It was really amazing that he could learn it just by watching it.
If you let him learn it, he will only learn a weird thing.
Become a monkey with a ferocious face on stage.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao's figure suddenly became taller in Bai You's eyes.
How can a person be so powerful?
She sings well, dances beautifully, and now even her facial expressions are so good!
"Is there anything else you don't know?" Bai You couldn't help but ask.
"?" Lu Yao was puzzled.
In short, after thoroughly discovering where the problem lies and finding a solution, Bai You burst into great enthusiasm. He searched his mind for all the film and television works that were similar to the concept of this stage, looking for stills and videos, learning the appropriate expressions and feelings, and then adding them to their stage.
There was also an unexpected surprise.
Bai You originally thought that Lu Yao's ability to learn expressions was a talent of his, but when he was trying hard in front of the mirror, Lu Yao came over and gave him a few instructions. He was actually able to do it almost perfectly, which made him completely overjoyed.
What do you call this? Lu Yao can not only do it himself, but also teach others to do it. Oh my God, this is what you call strength.
With continuous efforts, the two analyzed the key parts of emotional changes on stage, including when, what kind of emotions, what kind of feelings should be shown, and what kind of expressions should be made.
After the last part was finished, Bai You let out a sigh and felt tired.
But although my body is tired, my spirit is excited.
Bai You struck while the iron was hot and started playing the music. "Let's perform it from beginning to end, completely, just like on stage, okay?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Okay."
The music started again. In the small practice room, two teenagers sang and danced. As their bodies changed, their eyes met, expressing their thoughts.
When the music ended, Bai You couldn't help but jump several times on the spot before he could even catch his breath. He couldn't wait to pick up the phone that was leaning against the mirror and started filming it, then ran to Lu Yao and started playing it.
His breathing was rapid, his chest heaving violently, he had a premonition that this would be a perfect stage!
Bai You's premonition was correct. After the video ended, he looked at the dark screen for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. Suddenly, a tear fell and landed on the phone screen, creating a circle of ripples.
Bai You sniffed and looked up at Lu Yao, who was staring at him for who knows how long.
In that short song just now, Bai You felt as if he had really torn off the labels that were attached to him. He returned to his purest self and reached a reconciliation with himself.
"Thank you," he said.
Lu Yao smiled: "You're welcome."
Bai You also laughed. He wiped the tears from the phone screen, exited the video interface, and the current time was displayed on the lit screen.
"Oh my god!" Bai You opened his eyes wide, unable to believe it, "It's already four o'clock!"
Is his eye broken? Or is his phone broken?
Otherwise, how could he see the time displayed on the phone screen was 04:12?
Doesn't 04:12 mean four in the morning?
Did he accidentally set the time display mode to the wrong one? Besides the twelve-hour and twenty-four-hour modes, what other time modes are there?
Or did he set the wrong country?
Which country did he set it in and what is the time difference?
Bai You's mind was confused. He couldn't believe that they had already worked until four o'clock.
Lu Yao's voice rang out: "Go to bed now, you can still sleep for three hours."
Bai You came back to his senses instantly: "You are right."
They don't have time to waste!
He immediately picked up his cell phone and went upstairs quietly. After lying on the bed, Bai You felt deeply the fatigue of his body.
The whole person is about to melt.
In the dim room, Bai You looked at the ceiling above his head and listened to the shallow breathing around him. Although he was tired, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
"Lu Yao, I find that you still love the stage very much."
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally."
Bai You closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
