Chapter 56 Life is like a play
Even Su Ze didn't expect the first class of Chinese opera acting major to be so easy?

Not just Chen Gang, Han Xuefei and Zhao Yuning seem to be the same?
Think about it too, four years of professional training in university is very long, and some have time to practice slowly.But for freshmen who have not yet started, it is more important to establish correct values.

Even if you are not good enough now, you must know what a good actor is!
"You said it would be great if you told stories every day in the future." Zhao Yuncheng said after class, "It would be such a fun day."

"Beautiful thinking!" Zhang Yu said disdainfully, "It's so easy for us to be admitted to the Chinese Opera just to listen to the story?"

"The teacher should want us to adapt to the professional atmosphere of the university, right?" Hu Lei asked Su Ze, "What do you think?"

Su Ze nodded, seeing that Zhao Yuncheng's heart was not dead, he hit him: "Don't forget to do morning exercises every day from next week."

Doubi was instantly discouraged, his face full of lovelessness, everyone laughed, and even Ding Feng couldn't stop laughing.

There was no class in the afternoon, and students could move about freely. After all, school had just started, and everyone kept to their duties. No one went out for a while, and even Zhang Zifeng stayed obediently in the library to read.

Su Ze found a book on the theory of Chinese opera, and the sound, stage, shape and table are the basic skills of actors, but what the hell is it that specially arranges opera lessons?

"Do you suspect that the school has arranged the wrong courses?" Wang Pingfei stood on the podium and asked straight to the point: "Can someone tell me why actors should learn traditional opera?"

"Su Ze, tell me!"

Su Ze's face was calm, fortunately, brother was prepared.

"Everyone knows the three schools of drama, experience school, method school, and expression school. In fact, there is another school in our country, and it has a long heritage."

"Later, it was named after Master Mei Lanfang, and it was called Mei Pai Performance Theory."

"only……"

"It didn't take shape, right?" Wang Pingfei waved his hand, motioned Su Ze to sit down and said, "That's right, it's Mei Pai."

"Of course it's not just Master Mei Lanfang. The painstaking efforts accumulated by countless predecessors in the past, unfortunately, due to reasons such as family differences, many excellent inheritances have been lost."

"That's why our Chinese Opera takes opera as one of our majors!"

Wang Pingfei glanced across the audience. Although he was over fifty, his eyes were sharp, with the edge of looking directly at people's hearts.

"I just hope that one day, through our efforts from generation to generation, we can truly spread the theory of Chinese drama performance to the whole world!"

After speaking, he walked in front of everyone, bowed deeply and said, "I'm counting on you guys!"

Everyone was startled, and quickly stood up, all at a loss.Wang Pingfei straightened his waist and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, this is my old man's repertoire."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Su Ze knew in his heart that this bow was as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Tell me what you think about Peking Opera?" Wang Pingfei changed the subject, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be afraid to make mistakes."

"The clothes are beautiful!" Zhou Yujie was the first to speak.

"I like to outwit Tiger Mountain the most!"

"I like Sanchakou!"

"I feel that their figures are so beautiful!"

Wang Pingfei smiled and listened to the students chattering. Seeing that Su Ze hadn't spoken, he called by name and said, "Sue, Su Ze."

Everyone locked their eyes on Su Ze, looking forward to his answer. I don't know when they got used to this rhythm?
"I want to learn how Peking opera actors train their eyes." Su Ze said honestly, "The look is full of beauty, and the smoke flows."

"Okay!" Wang Pingfei was secretly happy, as expected of Director Lin's favorite seedling, he said it right!
"Student Su Ze is right. In my opinion, two words are the most useful for modern actors in traditional opera..."

"Eyes!"

After speaking, he turned on the big screen and began to show pictures one by one, and close-ups of eyes appeared in front of everyone.

"The drama of a body lies in the face, and the drama of a face lies in the eyes."

"Go on stage with your eyes, full of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy"

"Mr. Cheng Yanqiu said: It's up to the eyes to go on stage, and all the usages must be born in the heart."

Pointing to a picture, Wang Pingfei explained: "For any good Peking Opera performance, if you don't have eyes, you will definitely not be able to convey your emotions."

"If the face is "handsome" and the body is "general", the eyes should be the "first officer".

Su Ze listened very seriously. The opera that went back 100 years is actually the current concert.

Every famous character is comparable to top class!

As soon as the names are hung outside, they are all gold-lettered signboards of dozens or hundreds of people relying on their families to support their families.

You must know that in ancient times, the nobles would directly throw gold and silver jewelry on the stage as a reward!

How many ladies are crazy about famous roles.

This is called a row!
"Jargon calls for hands to be able to speak, and eyes to be able to speak. Wang Pingfei zoomed in on the picture and analyzed: "How to focus on the eyebrows, how to focus the eyes, how to open the eyelids, how to pick the tails of the eyebrows, and the eyes should be flexible and lively. "

"Winning eyes, smiling eyes, winking eyes, angry eyes, dull eyes, teary eyes, startled eyes, cross eyes, tired eyes, squinting eyes, contempt, drunk eyes, evil eyes..."

"It's all real kung fu!"

Seeing pictures that can talk with just eyes, even Zhao Yuncheng's face is full of seriousness, amazing.

"Mr. Yang Youhe summed up many essentials of Danjiao's eyes, such as fixed eyes, focusing on moving upward, and keeping the eyes still; smiling eyes: slightly drooping eyelids, showing shame; affectionate eyes: looking back at the chest cavity for a moment; keeping the eyes open. : Looking back for a moment, there is affection in the eyes."

"Returning to thinking: flipping up and down, recalling the past; dull eyes: sinking eyes, contemplating; winking eyes: smiling sweetly, looking back and gazing; cruel eyes: staring sideways, with a gloomy and cold face; angry eyes: staring and raising one's breath, and letting go of one's anger Nose out; ponder: look at the tip of the nose, stroke the hand and ponder."

Seeing the students listening seriously, Wang Pingfei smiled and said: "Of course I want to do it. First of all, the eyeballs can move up and down, left and right, at least to see the eyes. The actor's eyes have been practiced, and then combined with the characters' thoughts and feelings in the mirror. Do whatever you want."

"At that time, it was called entering the room."

1 minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, is talking about opera.Back then, Mr. Mei Lanfang raised pigeons and let them fly in the sky in order to train his eyes, requiring his eyes to focus on one point.

Mr. Yu Lianquan used incense handkerchiefs and other moving objects since he was a child to train his eyes to turn up, down, left, and right.Also use your eyes to see fish swimming in the water, strengthen your exercise, and make your eyes flexible.

Wang Pingfei walked off the podium, came to the students, raised his hands, stretched out his index fingers, and put them on both sides of his eyes.

"Left! Right!" Accompanied by the slogan, the eyeballs moved quickly from side to side, slowly at first, and then faster and faster.

"up and down!"

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"Certainly!"

Everyone seemed to see two slippery glass beads, spinning and jumping in various ways, and finally did not move for a moment.

Su Ze secretly gave a thumbs up, no wonder the old man in his early fifties has such sharp eyes, that's why.

"It's just a small skill." Wang Pingfei saw the students stunned, and said with a smile: "If you practice morning exercises well, you can be like me in less than a year."

Next, I will explain the specific training methods, such as emptiness, requiring the eyes to relax, squint slightly, and find out the look of contempt or blankness or thinking.

In fact, the eyes are concentrated, but the porcelain does not disperse.When training, you can stare at a real object and concentrate your eyes on one point.

Ming, the eyelids suddenly lifted, the eyeballs still need to concentrate hard, the gaze changes from confused to clear and refreshing, and there is a feeling of waking up after the character thinks.

Dark, deep eyes, slightly lowered eyelids, eyeballs from light to dark.This gaze is often used when a character is forced to be helpless or has a ghost in his heart, thinks of an idea, or is alert and defensive.

Shocked, his eyes widened, his eyelids did not move, his black eyes were pressed down, revealing the whites of his eyes, showing a look of surprise.

Su Ze was fascinated when he heard it, as if opening the door to a new world.

Amazing,
my grandfather!
