Chapter 53 The so-called "experienced" actors

The compliment in Shen Man's tone was hard to ignore. Su Lingxi blushed slightly and whispered, "Actually, I'm still just trying it out. It's hard to completely switch to a new performance method in a short time."

Shen Man understood: "The experiential school pursues absolute reality. Generally speaking, this kind of acting will take a little longer to get into the role, because it requires the actor to achieve a real reaction that is almost subconscious when performing."

Su Lingxi nodded, silently agreeing with her statement.

"You don't need to put too much psychological pressure on yourself in this regard." Shen Man comforted, "Your performance in the scenes this morning was very high, which shows that you have basically grasped the mental journey of the character Tong Yan."

Although she still looks a bit immature, this immaturity can be perfectly concealed by Tong Yan's character as a rookie in the workplace.

It can be said that Shen Man is indeed a talented actress. During the conversation with her, Su Lingxi clearly felt that his professional knowledge had been improved - this one-on-one problem analysis is more effective than the teacher's lectures in the classroom.

In the subsequent filming of "Red Careerist", Su Lingxi became more and more comfortable in performing the role, and became friends with Shen Man in a sense.

Even so, Su Lingxi still treats every rival scene with a mentality of not giving up, and tries her best to act opposite Kang Xin and Shen Man until the last drop of energy in her body is burned out.

This also resulted in her being too tired to do anything else after finishing filming every day. She would go back to the hotel, wash up, and fall asleep immediately. Even the accounts on various platforms had to be handed over to Zhang Wenya for management, who also helped to post pictures for business and maintain fans.

Not only that, during the days when filming the scene where Tong Yan suffered a major setback in the workplace, Su Lingxi was always immersed in the role, feeling lost, aggrieved, and depressed, and she didn't even have the mood to chat with Jia Jia. It was not until she finished filming this scene that she slowly returned to normal.

This kind of difficulty in getting out of the role had almost never happened in his previous life. Su Lingxi once again felt the huge difference between the experiential school and the expressionist school, and began to work hard to figure out the trick to quickly get in and out of the role.

More than a month of shooting time passed in a flash. After two consecutive days of shooting the night scenes on the Bund, the shooting schedule of the entire movie was coming to an end.

Before the filming of supporting actors such as Kang Xin and Gao Junyu was completed, Wei Jiao specially organized a party, saying that it was for everyone to relax.

"Sure enough, I overestimated Director Wei's creative ability." Su Lingxi teased, looking at Kang Xin who was singing with a red face on the stage, "Talent show plus a dinner, what's the difference between this and the company's annual meeting?"

Wei Jiao is about the same age as them, so there are not so many rules when getting along with them, and Su Lingxi will occasionally join in and joke around.

Shen Man shook her head and sighed: "Probably, but this part is indeed too noisy."

She glanced at Wei Jiao who was singing passionately with Kang Xin on the stage and shrugged helplessly.

Su Lingxi was instantly amused by her expression.

"By the way, you've been in a much better mood these days than before." Shen Man put down the goblet and leaned forward slightly: "Is it because the filming is about to wrap up?"

Su Lingxi smiled and said, "I guess so. The closer we get to the end of the filming, the more relaxed I feel. It's as if my self-consciousness is slowly separating from the role."

"Don't you feel like you're - uh, drifting out of the show?" she asked.

Shen Man smiled and shook her head. "Expressionist actors usually have very few problems with emotions, because I know from beginning to end that I am just acting, so I can quickly get out of the role."

"Your current state is very similar to someone I knew before. He is also a pure experiential actor. For him, becoming the role itself is a fascinating thing." Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something unpleasant, and the smile on her lips faded a little. "He played a melancholy and somewhat neurotic role back then, but he couldn't get out of it for a long time after the filming was completed. In the end... he chose the same suicide method as the character."

Su Lingxi's heart was shocked and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Shen Man continued, "I have also come into contact with some experiential actors. It is almost a common problem for them to have difficulty in acting. Some of them have developed mental illness or drug addiction because of this... Playing extreme roles is very harmful to the mental health of experiential actors. Not only do they have to repeatedly convince themselves to believe in the situation, but they also have to make their behavior fully fit the character in order to achieve a completely realistic effect."

"I think you may need to find the balance between your role and real life, so that it will be easier to perform."

Su Lingxi frowned slightly, "Balance point?"

"That's right. You need to set up a clear dividing line between reality and fantasy. On one side is your daily life as Su Lingxi, and on the other side is the fantasy you put into playing the role." Shen Man explained patiently, "The greater the difference between the two, the easier it will be to step out of the role."

Su Lingxi pondered these words in her mind, but came to a helpless conclusion: her own private life was actually very small, and most of the time she lived as the actress Su Lingxi.

She is not interested in love affairs between men and women, and apart from those who flatter her insincerely, she has few friends in the circle with whom she can truly get along.

"But most of my daily life seems to revolve around my job as an actor..." Su Lingxi was a little distressed.

Shen Man thought for a moment, "Maybe you should develop some unique hobbies - such as painting, calligraphy or sports. Hobbies can enrich your life, just like I like to buy jade, it symbolizes my free time when I am not acting."

"You need such a symbol to take you out of the play and help you put aside the negative emotions of the character. When you focus on this thing, you will naturally return to the real and warm real life."

It can be seen that Shen Man said this without any reservation, and was helping her solve the problem from the bottom of her heart.

Su Lingxi felt grateful and fortunate at the same time. If she hadn't met Shen Man who was willing to answer her questions and resolve her doubts, she might not even realize that she had gone astray one day.

"Sister Man, thank you." She said solemnly.

Shen Man waved her hand, "It's nothing. I'm just giving you some advice. It's up to you to find the right method for you."

“Experiential actors are always struggling in the whirlpool of emotions. If they are not careful, their rationality will be swallowed up by the role. It is not easy to stay calm and cool in the midst of it.”
