Chapter 0010 The Joy of Performance
Once he immerses himself in the role, his emotions will naturally change along with it, and this feeling is truly marvelous
Nevertheless, he still has the opportunity to portray suitable roles whenever possible
Director Xue Xiaolu was determined to choose him for this role, and in order to make his character more compatible with Dafu, she even revised the script, increasing Dafu's age by two years to better suit his age.
His smile perfectly meets her requirements; whether or not he has a round face is not important
Zhou Xia took a deep breath, walked up to the assistant director who was collaborating with him, and under his guidance, began to perform various behaviors and mannerisms of a boy with autism, including walking posture, speaking style, eating, and getting on and off the bus
As a teacher at the film academy, she certainly hopes that the students of the school can perform better and truly give her a pleasant surprise
Xue Xiaolu nodded in satisfaction, looking at Zhou Xia with great anticipation
Thank you, Director, thank you. I will always remember your words. Goodbye. After Zhou Xia deeply bowed, she walked out of the room
However, this issue no longer exists now
Zhou Xia does not have a round face, which is different from the prototype Yang Tao
In the previous life, that kind of immersion in the role.
Zhou Xia, how are you? You've been inside for such a long time, it's already been four minutes. Zhou Xia, Zhou Xia...
Thank you, Director, this is all to be expected. Zhou Xia did not elaborate further
Actors must have a sense of reverence for their craft
He understands that the performance of this smile is a crucial aspect of this audition, extremely important for the casting, far more so than being able to swim
Xue Xiaolu misunderstood that he had observed and imitated patients with autism, which is why he performed so well
This is what Zhou Xia saw in the news during the interview
To become another person, to experience the strange feeling of living another life, and to reappear, made him feel that the goal of life had been found once again
Any performance must adhere to psychological logic and character background
Compared to walking the red carpet and participating in television interviews, true actors prefer to earnestly shoot on set, fully immersing themselves in the performance of another character and creating a quality work
Alright, I will go in. You should take it easy; it's nothing. We are still young
She was very satisfied with Zhou Xia's performance just now
Especially when she displays that innocent and adorable smile during the emblem performance, her round face closely resembles that of the original Yang Tang
The joy of an actor's creation lies in this
Even though he suffers from autism and cannot grow like normal children, requiring constant care, his adorable and innocent smile is enough to dissolve all sadness and worries, allowing his mother, who has tirelessly raised him, to persevere.
In his previous life, due to his appearance, he ultimately became a director
Zhou Xia walked out of the audition room in a daze, reflecting on the feeling she had just experienced, and for a moment, she did not clearly hear what Qu Bufan had said.
However, when he smiles innocently, he is also very cute and charming, especially that youthful aura, which makes Xue Xiaolu feel even more satisfied
He suddenly felt that he was overthinking; life is not that complicated
Zhou Xia began to earnestly perform the adorable, innocent, and pure smile of an autistic boy, which also evokes a sense of heartache, based on the preparations made earlier
Xue Xiaolu, after watching Zhou Xia's performance, wore a look of satisfaction and said approvingly
A serious life experience and observation of the characters being portrayed is essential, as this will make the performance closer to reality, ensuring that the audience does not waste their money and time entering the cinema to watch the works they have performed
Compared to when he first arrived in this world, he has now adapted to his current identity
Director Xue Xiaolu closely observed Zhou Xia, watching him perform various smiles, and made a serious comparison with the prototype Yang Tang
The most important thing is
Although limited by his appearance, he can only make cameo appearances as some particularly minor characters
because of the illness carried from the womb
He has always enjoyed performing, being familiar with and passionate about this industry, so he should happily pursue it
This summer, her performance has not disappointed all the efforts made by her teachers, nor has it let her down
Prior to this, he had also worked as a screenwriter and producer, gradually making his way to the position of director
She scheduled the auditions for the film academy students on the last day, in order to give them an additional day to prepare
The character of the emblem was obtained because he worked the hardest and most diligently in organizing the actors to visit the place where the prototype character lived, experiencing life there. He observed the prototype of Da Fu, Yang Tao, with the utmost care and imitated him most authentically
Zhou Xia was leaning dazedly against the wall of the corridor
A sense of reverence is also a form of professional dedication
The occasionally revealed charming and innocent smile of his is what makes him both endearing and heart-wrenching
In such hot weather, leaning against the wall feels cool, which can bring joy to people
Oh, it's nothing, I'm fine, you should hurry inside, the director is calling for you!" Zhou Xia came to her senses and reminded Qu Bufan
When Zhou Xia and the assistant director who played the role of Da Fu's father, Wang Xincheng, acted out some scenes from the film's storyboard one by one
If I am not mistaken, you must have personally observed individuals with autism, otherwise you would not perform so authentically. Although it is not perfect yet, it is already quite good
Well. That's settled then. You can relax a bit; you have passed this preliminary audition. Lastly, let me say one more thing to you: remember the attitude you have today. No matter what kind of role you portray in the future, you must approach life and observe characters with this same seriousness. This way, your performance will no longer be just acting, but a representation of real individuals. Alright, you can go back and wait for the call to join the group.
The physique of this body is excellent, allowing him to portray almost any role he desires
She felt a flutter in her heart, and couldn't help but recall her first time volunteering at the rescue school, when she first met Yang Tao, with his innocent and charming smile at that time
The innocent smile of Daifuku, captured in this close-up shot, is a crucial image in this film, representing the most prominent expression of character through cinematic language
Now that the heavy shackles of the previous life are gone, along with the reasons for struggle, let us simply start by being an actor
At the age of two, his intellectual development ceased, and Da Fu became a child with autism. Therefore, in the film "Ocean Heaven," Da Fu's smile remains forever childlike.
Thus, when he heard this test question, he understood what was going on and knew how to perform.
It is now mid-July, and the weather is extremely hot, but the subtle coolness coming from the walls makes him feel very comfortable
That clearly indicates an acknowledgment of his earlier performance; the others merely speculated and did not inquire further, so why should he elaborate on it
The other party only had one day to prepare, yet they truly went to experience life and observe people
Be brave to do what you want to do
When he performed, he unconsciously immersed himself in the role of Da Fu, deeply experiencing that sense of emptiness and simplicity
After Xue Xiaolu announced that Zhou Xia had passed the preliminary examination, she gave him another serious admonition
Because the substitute teacher of the performing arts department, Huang Sanshi, spoke up, she inquired about the insider information regarding the audition
Qu Bofan believed that Zhou Xia had failed the audition, offered a word of comfort, and quickly walked into the room
The setting of this test during the audition serves as the most important criterion for selecting the actor to play the role of Da Fu
Xue Xiaolu's face revealed a look of surprise, her eyes filled with brilliance
Compared to this student's talent for performance, she places greater importance on the other person's diligent research attitude and spirit towards the role
Well, very good, your smile meets the requirements. Next, you will perform various daily activities of an autistic patient with this assistant director. For example, walking, eating, laughing, and taking the bus. He will guide you to simulate different scenarios.
