I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 46, Character Notes

Chapter 46, Character Notes (Please Read! Very Important!)
On the way to Qingyan Ancient Town, the old extras were playing cards on the green train. The leading actors looked at each other in silence, occasionally discussing the script, while Li Xuan sat at the card table.

Looking at the thin script in his hand.

Stuttering Liu has a lot of interactions with the protagonist, which is why those old-timers don’t like this character.

Everyone is paid 1,000 yuan, so the wise choice is naturally to take a role with fewer scenes and lower requirements.

What? Showing up to increase my exposure? A chance to become a serious actor? A serious star?
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

But those who can become generals started out as non-commissioned officers. Soldiers in the entertainment industry will always be soldiers, and extras will always be extras. Finding your own image and characteristics and becoming an excellent supporting actor is more realistic than any other dream, isn't it?
Empty dreams will eventually be defeated by reality!

For the old hands.

Only young people with little social experience can believe that they can become a "general".

When they were almost at Qingyan Ancient Town, the guy who played the police station chief received good news.

You don't have to act anymore, but you will still get paid, and someone will come to play the role for you.

The old hand was ecstatic. That was great. He didn't have to act and still get paid. He could just treat it as a funded trip to Qingyan Ancient Town.

It’s so authentic, so authentic.

On the train.

"Actually, you don't have to blame them. We are all stones whose edges have been smoothed out." Deng Gang, who played Captain Huang, came over and patted Li Xuan on the shoulder, and brought Li Xuan a bag of melon seeds.

Among all the extras just now, he was the one who laughed the least.

Even his emotion was the most compassionate, perhaps because he saw his own shadow?
I saw people who wasted their time pursuing their dreams, not knowing where they would end up.

"But I still want to give it a try. After all, if I don't give it a try, how will I know what I'm made of?"

At this time, Li Xuan smiled and thanked Deng Gang for the bag of melon seeds.

Just like the "Looking for a Gun" script in front of us.

Stuttering Liu, the man selling mutton soup in front of the police station, only appears in a few shots.

His setting is also very simple.

Because his family members were killed by Zhou Xiaogang's fake wine, and by chance, he got Mashan's police 54 pistol, he wanted to kill with the weapon.

The whole story revolves around a missing gun.

Everyone else is just condiments, the main dish is the protagonist Ma Shan.

This policeman's gun is missing.

At this moment, Li Xuan looked at the thin script and his thoughts began to diverge. Ma Shan, Stuttering Liu, and their abstract consciousness in the script.

At this time, Li Xuan couldn't help but start writing the script. He marked his understanding on this complete script.

Should it be, writing a short biography of the character?
At this time, Li Xuan's appearance of writing a short note about a person was noticed by Jiang Wen who was not far away, and he asked Li Xuan what he was doing.

Li Xuan also answered truthfully and was writing a short biography.

"This kid is interesting."

"What's the point? You're just pretending, just like me."

"Why do you always speak in sarcastic tones when you talk to me?"

"I'm sorry, Comrade Jiang Wen. I try not to bring my emotions into filming." Ning Jing shrugged at this time.

"It's quite interesting and ambitious, not bad." Shi Liang, who played Zhou Xiaogang next to him, praised.

Character notes are a way to understand a role. Many serious actors use this method to help them understand their roles. It can be a great addition, but it can't be a lifesaver.

"He's trying to imitate the ugly duckling. Is he doing this for us to see and get attention? Master, you don't have to pay attention to him. We just need to focus on our own script." Lu Chuan next to him did seem a little unhappy and even felt a little embarrassed. My script is already perfect enough. What's the point of adding a character biography, not to mention that it's just an extra. This feeling of embarrassment just came naturally.

Lu Chuan's sense of superiority can only be slightly reflected in Li Xuan, or in Li Xuan's group.

In fact, he was a little frustrated. As a debut work, it should have been a very happy thing to have so many big names joining in.

But this big guy now made him feel helpless, even a little aggrieved and depressed.

Because everyone present would not call him Director Lu, but only Director Jiang.

His "gun".

In a sense, it was taken away by Jiang Wen.

At this time, Li Xuan was holding a pen and writing, Stuttering Liu, Ma Shan, the thoughts of these two people, and what they represent.

[Stuttering Liu: Requires two acting slots, additional 1 point of mental resistance]
After Li Xuan kept copying the script, the number of acting skills that Stuttering Liu needed was reduced by one, but in contrast, he needed a little extra mental resistance. He met the requirements.

It turns out that the system's requirements will change with one's own actions. Imitating the character like this and immersing oneself in it will reduce the demand for acting skills.

At this moment, everything in front of him began to blur. He was clearly on the train, but it felt like the train was stretching infinitely. All the people began to change, their bodies, eyes, gender, everything began to change. They turned into hateful, ugly guys, turned into those old-fashioned extras, turned into those people who had moved to Beijing, speaking in a authentic way, looking down on Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan was standing in the train, looking at the people in front of him with his head spinning.
"You're just an extra, do you still want to be an actor? Why don't you go back and take a piss and reflect on your own morality?"

"We are actors, you are an extra. We are destined to be different. An extra can't become an actor. How can you, a guy who just started out, compare to those who have studied hard and received support from their parents? Those shining stars have been cultivated since childhood."

"Sorry, this is the actor's seat, your seat is on the other side."

"What kind of character is this? An extra is imitating others and writing a character biography. Is your role worth it? Do you even know what a script biography is?"

Tiny sounds and tiny malice were infinitely amplified and transmitted to Li Xuan's ears. He could hear those voices himself, and Li Xuan even hallucinated the voices of his previous life.

I was ignored on the crew and received a bad review for my part-time delivery job. I argued with them, but they just said lightly that they were in a bad mood and gave me a bad review.

More and more voices came towards Li Xuan.

The feeling becomes stronger and stronger.

Finally, Li Xuan touched his waist.

I felt something hard.

Cold, chilly, tiny malice is infinitely magnified.

Not just their voices, but mine too.

A gun.

gun.

Not lost, just gone.

Now I have found the "gun".
