I just want to be an actor

Chapter 6 Zhou Sen's talent, into micro-level control!
In order to make it easier for him to check and take notes at any time, Zhou Sen used the printer at home to print out this collection of character scripts. The collection seems to have at least a hundred characters.

but
Zhou Sen flipped through this collection of character types at random. If an actor wants to have a wide range of roles, he really needs to have enough expandability.

Since he dreams of becoming an actor, his goal now is to become an excellent professional actor first, so he had better have a performance suitable for enough characters.

But in this collection, why do some unpopular character types such as "sick and perverted loli", "sinister and vicious old lady", "mighty and majestic flower" appear?

It shouldn't be possible for me to take on these types of roles, right?
But since Fang Chen has carefully sorted out this collection of character types, there must be his intentions.

Zhou Sen pondered for a moment, and still felt that he had to try every character in this character collection.

This collection of character types is more about existing film, television, animation, and comic characters, and even some classic novel fragments. Basically, it is based on having good reference objects. Zhou Sen came to perform.

There will also be video links for movies, TV dramas and animations, Zhou Sen browsed through them one by one.

Many of them are actually works that he has tried to imitate before, and now he is performing it again, and he is already familiar with it.

He found a room with few things at home to clean up.

A simple camera position was set up in the room. Including his own mobile phone, there are three shooting devices at home. The three camera positions are basically enough to meet Zhou Sen's ideas and editing needs.

Although the physical conditions are a bit rough, this is enough for Zhou Sen to perform well in front of the camera. The three cameras can capture his performance from all angles.

When he was ready, Zhou Sen began to try one role at a time.

At the beginning, there were some more conventional characters, such as ordinary office workers, ordinary sunny boys, ordinary high-cold students, and ordinary knights.

In fact, it is difficult to test the acting skills, but Zhou Sen still tries to control the details as much as possible to make himself more suitable for the requirements.

In fact, ordinary seems to be the most difficult adjective to define, because there is no clear standard.

Ordinary, in fact, is to reduce the sense of presence in front of the camera, so that all aspects of oneself will not be too prominent.Try to make your whole person's aura and characteristics wrap up with each other, so that people will not pay too much attention to the key points of this character image, so that the main body of expression can return to the character itself.

At such times, being handsome can easily become a hindrance.

After Zhou Sen finished recording, he repeatedly observed his performance in these ordinary roles. His heroic eyebrows were too easy for people to notice his perfect handsome face and unrestrained spirit.

Alas, it is really distressing to be handsome.

How can I better act like an ordinary person?
Zhou Sen, who was not very satisfied with the previous attempts, carefully re-watched the clips in the demonstration video several times. These clips are not clips from classic works, but the most real ordinary people extracted from some documentaries. lens.

Zhou Sen re-observed the details of these shots carefully, but he found that no matter how he adjusted the details, the extraordinaryness of his face would be highlighted.

If you are on the set, there may be a makeup artist to help adjust the details.But Zhou Sen doesn't want to solve this problem so simply and crudely. After all, no matter how good the makeup is, it can easily give people a sense of alienation in ordinary matters.

He found a mirror, and Zhou Sen was going to be more serious about the part that was supposed to be just for posing and looking at his appearance.

Zhou Sen took a closer look, and gently stroked his face with his hands.

Facing himself in the mirror, Zhou Sen tried his best to adjust his facial muscles.

I don't know from which day, Zhou Sen discovered that he seemed to have an astonishingly high degree of control over his body.

Whether it is the tiny muscles hidden under the smooth skin of the face, or the firm muscles of the body after exercise one after another, he can freely control their movements to a certain extent.

Of course, he hasn't been able to fully master all the muscles in his body.

However, if you just control the sphincter, it is no problem to let yourself pee with the strength and direction you want.

In the past, when Zhou Sen was bored, he would "piss" there when he went to the toilet. It was easy to control the water column to rise and fall regularly, and draw pictures in the air.

What Zhou Sen needs to do is to observe himself in the mirror.

He wants to find the most common, softest and flat feeling, which can completely rely on the adjustment of facial muscles to control the appearance of his face to be restrained, flat and soft.

After adjusting for about 10 minutes, Zhou Sen finally found his most satisfactory state.

He maintains this facial state in front of the mirror, and he needs to firmly remember this feeling, and keep this state for shooting.

This kind of micro-level muscle control is the basis for various so-called micro-expressions and micro-movements.

But Zhou Sen's situation is somewhat different.

If the micro-level control is regarded as A, the micro-expression performance ability is regarded as B.

In fact, the vast majority of actors rely on a lot of training and simulation to allow themselves to master a certain special micro-expression and micro-movement. This is the relationship between B and A.

But Zhou Sen, relying on his talent for fine-grained control, took a path of first A and then B.

If his imagination is rich enough, theoretically he can do any micro-expressions and micro-movements that he wants to show in his mind. He does not need to form muscle memory through a lot of muscle training like others to overcome normal human behavior.

A little further away.

Now that the facial feeling is good, I can try again after readjusting the details of the whole body movement.

Zhou Sen doesn't care how much time he spends on some simple character scripts, he cares more about whether he can truly express these characters well.

After working for a long time, he started recording again.

This time the effect was as he expected, real enough and ordinary enough.Only by staring at Zhou Sen in the video very intently, can he feel that this is a more handsome and attractive ordinary person, whose temperament is completely different from the usual Zhou Sen.

"Continue like this."

Once I found the method and feeling, the speed increased a lot.

Zhou Sen went through scripts one by one, and recorded videos one by one.

He didn't pay attention to the passage of time, nor did he pay attention to those things on the Internet, he even forgot his small composition sleeping in the draft box.

There are no other viewers, no other assistants, and these recorded videos may not be seen by many people.But Zhou Sen was immersed in this world alone.

This is his own world, the world of acting.
