Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The first thing Xiao Wang did was to hug Xia Yuan and cry, telling him frantically how much pressure he had been under and how difficult his life had been.

The other actors also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they were really scared to death when filming with Xia Yuan in that state. They were really afraid that Xia Yuan would kill them if he was unhappy. That look in their eyes didn't seem to be acting.

Especially since this is America, it is not a safe place like Hanxia. In America, it is not surprising at all if a murder happens at any time. Here, all kinds of strange murders are not uncommon. Especially since modern times, the clown has begun to change from a humorous comedian to a character that is close to horror.

It is no exaggeration to say that people in the United States and the West actually have a little bit of clown phobia in their hearts.

They don't want to risk their lives for a job, that's not worth it, right?
However, for Xia Yuan, there is actually something that makes him depressed. That is, after being unable to use experiential techniques, he is worried that he will not be able to better restore the role of the Joker.

What if I can't perform well? Wouldn't it look very disconnected? In a movie, the same character, some parts are good, but in other parts, the acting is down. How will the audience view it after seeing it? How will the audience feel?
This is what Xia Yuan is worried about.

However, it should be said that everyone in the crew has been friends for more than ten years, and there are people everywhere who understand Xia Yuan.

So soon someone discovered Xia Yuan’s worries, and that was Tang Ying.

All I can say is that after sleeping in the same bed for more than ten years, as soon as Xia Yuan pouted his butt, Tang Ying knew what this idiot was up to.

So when Xia Yuan was alone in the lounge, worrying and pondering, he sat close and asked, "What are you doing? What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about the character's expression?"

"Yeah," Xia Yuan nodded, and did not hide it: "I am worried that since the experience-based techniques cannot be used, what if it affects the presentation of the entire character? After all, this character is really not like other characters. He is not so easy to control."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan explained in detail to Tang Ying the special features of the character of the clown.

It is also telling Tang Ying how difficult this role is to play and how hard it is to present.

Tang Ying finished listening.

Then he said, "Actually, it's useless for you to tell me these things. You may have forgotten that I failed the acting class three times, and I passed it by barely scratching the surface each time. Actually, if it weren't for the seven teaching buildings and the dormitory area donated by my father to the school, I might not have passed it so easily."

Xia Yuan: “.”

After a moment of silence, Xia Yuan finally spoke: "Don't pretend. You can't escape the fact that your total savings are no more than ten yuan."

Tang Ying's breathing stagnated, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What? What do you mean? I don't have money to eat your rice! I use your things! You support me!"

As she spoke, Tang Ying paused again.

No, it seems that it can be eaten and used, and it does nourish the body.

"Although I am poor in my wallet, I am rich in spirit. In this case, can you say that I am poor? Speak!"

"No, aren't we talking about your problem? Damn, are you trying to change the subject?" Tang Ying patted Xia Yuan on the back without any hesitation and rolled her eyes at him, "Continue talking about your problem!"

"So I'm really talking about this. I've always been troubled." Xia Yuan said. "It all comes down to lack of confidence." Tang Ying said: "Then there's dependence."

"Well, go ahead." Xia Yuan nodded, indicating that he was willing to hear the details.

"It's because you rely on the experience-based technique. You know you can use this technique, and you also know that when you are helpless and facing some difficult characters, you can always use this killer move. You will always think that whenever I have something I can't handle, I can use it.

But what is the reality? Sometimes when you are faced with a new situation, you have not tried to use conventional means. Because you have a trump card, you will not consider how you will perform in a conventional situation. You will not think about these problems, but will be more inclined to use this technique directly to solve the problem.

It's just like playing games. Didn't you enjoy playing games before? "

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded.

A few years ago, he did like playing games, especially moba games.

But in recent years, as he got older, his enthusiasm for games gradually waned. On the one hand, his body couldn't take it and his reactions and functions declined. On the other hand, he became interested in other hobbies.

For example, fishing and playing billiards.

But it does not affect the fact that he was an internet addict before.

When he and his senior student were still living together in the old house in Tomson One, they were still dating but had not yet gotten married, and they were still in an ambiguous period. He often played games in his room all night long.

Tang Ying said: "It's just like when you play a game with cheats. If you use cheats for a long time, you will forget your strength when you didn't use cheats. You will forget how you did it and how you performed at that time. The same is true for the experience-based techniques.

But have you ever thought about one question? That is, do you really have the ability to deal with these situations? "

What if he really has this ability?
At this point, Xia Yuan was stunned.

Tang Ying: "You are no longer the same person you were when you first debuted more than a decade ago. After so many years of hard work, how good are your acting skills now? I remember the last time you used the experience method was seven years ago, right? Have you used this technique in any of the roles you played since then?

Putting aside other things, just for the role of Zhang Mazi, if you were to play him now, would you still need to use experience?"

"No need." Xia Yuan shook his head.

"That's it. Let's make an analogy. If you think of yourself as someone who has never learned anything like experiential learning and never learned any of these techniques, and you simply rely on your acting skills to boost your confidence, what will happen?"

Tang Ying said what she wanted to say.

And Xia Yuan was also stunned for a moment.

Yes, sometimes I still lack confidence in myself.

But in fact, he has not tried whether he can better interpret the role by relying solely on his own strength after abandoning external forces.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity for him to change himself and move on to another stage? (End of this chapter)
