Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 83: The Second Master's Skill
After finishing the scene, Zheng Jing sat on a chair to rest, and his assistant handed him a bottle of mineral water.

I had just taken two sips of water when I saw Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei walking towards me.

Seeing Liu Yifei's dejected look, Zheng Jing knew what was going on.

He had anticipated this situation.

In her previous life, when Liu Yifei joined the crew of "The Story of a Noble Family" to film, she encountered many twists and turns, so much so that Chen Kun was very dissatisfied with her.

As a newcomer, Liu Yifei had a hard time playing Bai Xiuzhu, let alone a complex role like Xiao Diao Chan.

Just as Liu Xiaoli was about to speak, Zheng Jing waved his hand, unbuttoned his ancient costume, and said, "It's too hot, there's no wind at all."

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Liu Yifei immediately took the fan from the assistant and started fanning him.

"Master, is it cool now?"

"It's okay, try harder."

Under normal circumstances, although Liu Yifei would fan Zheng Jing, she would definitely retort a few words.

But today she was very well behaved and started fanning hard.

The weather was very hot. After fanning Zheng Jing for a while, Liu Yifei also sweated a lot on her face.

But she didn't feel tired at all, and she fanned more and more vigorously.

And my mood is much better.

This is Zheng Jing’s strategy.

When people lose confidence or feel depressed, they can first find some simple things to do.

This can not only divert your attention, but also help you regain your state in simple things, and even regain your self-worth and enhance your self-confidence.

This is the foot-in-the-door effect in psychology, also known as the Prima rule.

While enjoying Liu Yifei's service, Zheng Jing said, "Don't think about acting for now. Go and do two sets of test papers. I will test your tongue skills in the evening to check your homework during this period.

If you pass the test, I will teach you the next skill. Don't forget that I know a lot."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei's mood immediately improved. In excitement, she kissed Zheng Jing on the face, then ran away with a red face.

Liu Xiaoli watched her daughter regain her spirits and smiled with satisfaction, then explained: "Xixi has been with me since she was very young and lacked the care of her father.

The appearance of you as a master has been a great help to her, and she trusts you very much."

Zheng Jing looked at Liu Xiaoli and joked, "I'm not contributing for free, Sister Xiaoli, for Xixi's future, you have to make some sacrifices as well."

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Zheng Jing and said, "Your name is Zheng Jing, but you always like to be frivolous."

"Why are you being so unserious? I just want to act with you."

Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "What scene is it? There aren't many scenes where Empress Dowager He and Lu Bu compete against each other."

"It's the circus I just performed. If we have time some other day, we can go to the stables and ride horses again."

"You think beautiful!"

Liu Xiaoli said something coquettishly, then turned and left.

The tone of voice is both refusal and welcoming.

After taking a short break, Zheng Jing continued to shoot the next scene.

Cheng Kaige is quite capable. Under his direction, the filming of the crew was orderly and progressed quickly.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, today's performance ended early.

Zheng Jing rejected Chen Hong's invitation to have a midnight snack together and went to a king-size room on the 3rd floor of the hotel.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to open the door.

"Master, I have finished the test paper. Shall I start checking my tongue skills now?"

"Take a look at the test paper first."

When Zheng Jing walked into the room, he smelled the faint fragrance of green oranges.

The position of the desk was adjusted and placed next to the window.

The sheets and quilt covers were replaced with my own. There were books on one side of the bed and a cute teddy bear on the other.

The hotel conditions in Zhuozhou Film and Television City are relatively poor, but Liu Xiaoli still pays great attention to the quality of life and decorated the room herself. Zheng Jing took Liu Yifei's paper and stood up to read it. There was only one chair in the room, so it was not suitable for him to sit alone.

But Liu Xiaoli said, "Just sit on the bed. I'll make you some tea."

Zheng Jing didn't hesitate and sat down on the bed. Liu Yifei also sat next to Zheng Jing.

She also took off her slippers, revealing her chubby little feet.

Zheng Jing took a look at the test paper. The questions were all very simple, with a difficulty level roughly equivalent to that of a third or fourth grader in elementary school.

Liu Yifei did everything right.

"Very good. I didn't expect you to have such good grades."

Zheng Jing's compliment was purely forced, but the effect was very good and Liu Yifei smiled happily.

Afterwards, Zheng Jing checked Liu Yifei's tongue skills.

She has worked hard on her eloquence and is very talented.

The assessment results were also excellent.

"Very good, you have the talent to be an actor."

As soon as Zheng Jing came up, he first praised her academic performance and then her tongue skills, and directly hooked Liu Yifei into a black carp.

The corners of her mouth kept rising and she couldn't stop smiling.

After helping Liu Yifei rebuild her confidence, Zheng Jing said, “Today I will teach you the second unique skill of my sect, called the “Emotional Palace”.

Once you learn my skill, you can easily interpret the character's various emotions."

In fact, the unique skill that Zheng Jing mentioned is a technique often used by experiential actors, called emotional memory method.

By recalling one's past experiences and finding the corresponding emotional memories, one can interpret the emotions that the character wants to express now.

The advantage of this method is that it can make the actors' performances vivid and natural, close to life;
The downside is that the actors mobilize their own memories, which always make them slightly different from the characters, and it’s easy for them to act like themselves in everything they play.

This is a shortcoming that even actors of the best actor level need to improve on.

For Liu Yifei, as long as she masters the emotional memory method, her acting skills are enough.

In order to make Liu Yifei believe that this was the second unique skill of his master, Zheng Jing changed the name of the emotional memory method to Emotional Palace.

And demonstrated it on the spot.

"Watch carefully, I am acting out longing, sadness, anger, joy, gratitude, hatred, and despair!"

Zheng Jing recalled his feelings in the world of the script and performed seven different emotions.

He performed every emotion just right, switching very smoothly, and immediately stunned Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was a little bit of a middle school student. She felt that she had had a "fortune" and learned extraordinary skills from her master. She also trusted her master Zheng Jing very much.

Now seeing Zheng Jing demonstrate the power of the "Emotion Palace" on the spot, she naturally believed it without a doubt.

The influence of belief is still very great.

Liu Yifei firmly believes that the emotional palace is useful and that it can improve one’s learning attitude and progress.

Zheng Jing continued: "Now we are conducting the first training to refine and store emotional memories.

Think back to today, when you were filming on the set, and you had to make NGs again and again, what did it feel like? "

Liu Yifei replied: "First I felt embarrassed, then I blamed myself, and there was a gap between what I expected and what I felt, so I felt very disappointed."

"Very good, now let's recreate the scene from this afternoon's filming. I'm the director..."

"OK, that's about it. Remember this feeling. If it's not deep enough, you can associate it with other things in the memory palace, such as smell or an object."

"Now practice your sadness. When are you saddest?"

Liu Yifei looked at her mother and said truthfully: "When mom and dad quarreled and divorced."

"Then let's restore the emotions and feelings at that time... You cried very naturally, which is a great improvement. Wipe your tears and practice being happy now..."

Zheng Jing taught her step by step, and Liu Yifei learned very attentively.

From now on, the two of them really acted like master and disciple.
