Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 152
Time passed, every day was busy, studying theory during the day, and practicing systematically at night, and it came to the end of October in a blink of an eye.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the fear training."

"Do you want to start a new project?"

Su Ze chooses to open it. Every expression training is a deep development of muscle control, especially the face, which is a small muscle group, which is most suitable for bioelectricity.

The corrugator muscles contract and the brows furrow violently.

The orbicularis muscle is strongly contracted, and the upper and lower eyelids are tightly closed; the upper and lower eyelids are squeezed against each other, and wrinkles appear between the eyes.

The levator lip muscle contracts, the upper lip is tensed, and the cheeks are raised at the same time, forming a nasolabial fold between the nose wing and the corner of the mouth.

The platysma muscles contract, causing the corners of the mouth to open to the sides, and the lips are elongated and thinned.

The depressor anguli oris muscle and depressor lip muscle contract at the same time, pulling the lower lip down, forming a nearly vertical drop lip shape on both sides of the lower lip near the corners of the mouth, which is approximately square, exposing part of the lower teeth.

The mentalis muscle contracts, pushing the middle of the lower lip up, out of the way of the teeth in the middle.

Full of tears!
Looking at himself in the mirror and feeling the subtle changes in expression with his heart, Su Ze had expected it. After all, the best way to express fear is to cry loudly.

To give the simplest example, the children have already eaten snacks, and they have discussed with their parents not to eat more, but their actual psychology is that they still want to eat some more.

Little children know that their parents will never allow more snacks, and when they realize that this is hopeless, they start crying.

Because unsatisfactory needs are bad outcomes, agreement with parents and their supervision is beyond the child's ability to change things.

Simply put, bad results happen, but there is no way to change them. The result is sadness in the heart, which can only be expressed by crying.

Of course, this is only one aspect. When newborn babies encounter negative stimuli, such as hunger, pain, fear, etc., their instinctive reaction is to cry loudly, because this can attract the attention of adults and protect themselves.

Su Ze began to control, and when his eyes were crying bitterly, he would definitely close them tightly.The orbicularis oculi and corrugator muscles work together to cause the eyes to close shut and the eyebrows to be depressed.

It is found that the violent exhalation and blood circulation changes during the crying process will increase the capillary pressure in the eye socket and the intraocular pressure in the eyeball, and objectively require the orbicularis oculi muscle to contract to tighten the skin around the eyes, which can relieve part of the pressure , Protect the eyeballs.

The greater the crying, the greater the muscle contraction.This detailed expression of laughing, sneezing, and coughing will all have the action of closing the eyes tightly.

After continuous training, I am familiar with eye control. Although it is difficult to directly control the pupils of the eyes, many effects can still be achieved through changes in the surrounding muscles.

Then the lip muscles contract, lifting the upper lip upward, causing the cheeks to bulge, and forming nasolabial folds between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth.

The platysma muscles contract, stretching the corners of the mouth to the sides, widening the mouth.The depressor anguli oris and lower lip muscles contract, pulling the lower lip downward.

Contraction of the mentalis muscle arches the jaw muscles, pushing the middle of the lower lip upward.

Several groups of muscles worked together to make Su Ze's lips open, forming a roughly square outline.

"I see." After trying it, I was surprised to find that this mouth shape is more suitable for penetrating sounds than other mouth shapes?
It's like a megaphone.

"Breathe!" Su Ze had an idea, keenly aware that the breathing was not even and smooth during the crying process?
Instead, it was convulsive, and the whole person twitched.

To achieve this breathing characteristic, the mentalis and platysma must jointly be responsible for frequent changes in the shape of the mouth, resulting in convulsive movements of the jaw and lower lip.

The two contract together, the middle part of the lower lip is pursed, and the corners of the mouth are straightened to the sides.Both relax together, with the lower lip and corners of the mouth relaxed.

This is also the first time the mentalis muscle has been used.

Su Ze compares the differences while researching, because they are all facial muscle groups, and many micro-expressions have similarities. As an actor, he must find the differences if he wants the audience to understand them at a glance.

The combined contraction of the orbicularis oculi and corrugator supercilii causes the brows to depress and produce longitudinal wrinkles between the brows.This expression has many emotions, such as fear, but because of the sadness and the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle, the degree of eyebrow twisting is more severe than in the fear expression.

Especially the inner 1/3 is twisted upwards!
Then the eyelids are closed forcefully, and the inner corners of the eyes are squeezed to form wrinkles, and the outer corners are squeezed to form crow's feet, regardless of age.

The platysmal muscle contracts, stretching the corners of the mouth to both sides, making the horizontal width of the mouth larger than usual, and forming nasolabial folds between the stretched corners of the mouth and the cheeks.

The mentalis muscle, in particular, contracts, pushing up the middle of the lower lip, creating a muscular bulge with an uneven surface on the chin.

Therefore, the curve of the lower lip is W-shaped, which is the unique sign of crying expression.

Even without snot and tears, a wrinkled and distorted face is already ugly!
It's no wonder that many actresses don't like to shed tears in pain, and the goddess instantly becomes an ugly mother-in-law.Many viewers even think that crying is good acting?

"It's a bit difficult!" Su Ze frowned. In all fairness, the pain is quite difficult. It needs to mobilize a lot of muscles, and it is far more detailed than surprise or even anger.

At the same time, it also proves that it is more difficult to camouflage. The deliberate grin is certainly not as wide as when crying, and the degree of closed eyes cannot be accurately imitated.

Unless it can mobilize sadness, this is why Su Ze practiced hard. In fact, micro-expressions are only one of the difficulties in muscle control, and the more difficult thing is how to mobilize emotions.

Just like martial arts moves and internal skills, a person's only moves are limited in lethality, and he is only a second-rate master after practicing to the top.

The real top people have profound internal skills, and picking flowers and leaves can hurt people.

It is difficult for ordinary people to mobilize their emotions. After all, it can only be triggered by immersive experience, and it is very tiring, and extreme emotions can hurt the body.

Actors must control their emotions through imagination, just like setting a switch, turning it on when needed and not turning it off, of course it is tiring, but it is more efficient than ordinary people after training.

The reason why the system is powerful lies in the bioelectrical stimulation. First use training to control the muscles, and then form an instinctive inertia. Say the surprised expression immediately cooperates, and then naturally mobilizes the corresponding emotions.

Not only is the response quicker, but the effect is better. After all, few people study micro-expressions. How many can see the subtle differences?
We all know that Moutai is expensive, but how many can really drink good?

Not because of face!
After studying the full expression, Su Ze began to analyze crying in different states, such as howling, normal crying, sobbing, silent tears with closed mouth, grievance, sadness and so on.

Compared with crying bitterly, other state characteristics are depression.For example, if you shut your mouth and cry, in addition to the obvious changes in the mouth, the frontalis muscle will be further strengthened and contracted to lift the brow upward.

Contraction of the corrugator supercilii causes the eyebrows to gather inward; contraction of the orbicularis oculi causes the eyebrows to be depressed and the eyes to close tightly.

No one can open their eyes when crying!
