Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 78 Playing the Blind

"After the idiot finished speaking, let's study how blind people act." Chen Gang opened another video and showed: "Many actors have interpreted blind people, such as Wang Baoqiang's assassination of the blind man A Bing."

"I edited a clip, let's see what is worth learning from the perspective of acting skills."

"What's wrong with Lao Chen today?" Zhao Yuncheng complained in a low voice, "He's a fool and a blind man again, isn't he a tosser?"

"Nonsense, this is called a professional course in Chinese opera, understand?" Before Su Ze could speak, Zhang Yu countered: "Strict teachers produce excellent students."

Zhao Yuncheng's disdain was on his face, but in fact he was just complaining, he must be serious when he should be serious, this is called the cultivation of an actor.

Chen Gang did not play the video, stepped off the stage, and asked, "Do you know what the world of the truly blind looks like?"

"Isn't it just pitch black?"

"No, I heard that many blind people can perceive dim light."

"I've read reports that blind people are also divided into fully blind and half blind?"

"There are also innate and acquired. One of my classmates became invisible in a car accident."

Chen Gang signaled to be quiet, and explained: "You are right. I have studied blind people in order to experience life. I understand their world as if..."

"You close one eye during the day and feel the other eye with your heart. That feeling is the world of the blind."

Su Ze couldn't help nodding. He had simulated a blind person before, read many research reports, and classified blindness into many conditions, such as congenital and acquired blindness.

People who are congenitally blind feel like what Mr. Chen said just now. Their world has no color, and they don't even know what black is.

So instead of darkness, there is nothingness.For example, if you try to look around with your knees, what can you see?
Congenitally blind people can perceive things with their hands, such as touching a stool, and can roughly perceive the spatial position and shape of the stool, but the feedback in their minds is definitely not the stool we see.

Possibly an indeterminately shaped, colorless object in the void?

"For congenital total blindness, they do not have visual concepts, nor can they describe their own feelings, and others cannot understand the world in their eyes."

After Chen Gang finished explaining, he asked, "Do you think blind people can dream?"

"Should be?"

"Of course, but it's different from normal people!"

"I don't think so, they don't even know how to dream with colors?"

Chen Gang continued: "Dreams are the product of human beings processing all kinds of garbage memories in the brain every day, and the essence of memory is the integration of various senses. If you lose vision, you will lose the concept and logic of space in dreams."

"I've asked many blind friends. It's interesting that they also dream. Especially people who are born blind don't see in their dreams, but a combination of other senses."

"For example, the senses of touch, hearing, and taste. The dreams of ordinary people are illogical, while their dreams are even more bizarre, with various illogical and fragmented spatial combinations."

Everyone listened with gusto. Although they have seen many blind characters and even secretly tried acting, it is really fresh to understand from a scientific point of view.

"As for people who are acquired blind, they will have normal dreams at first, but as their memories become blurred, their dreams will become more and more illusory, and eventually they will become like people who are congenitally blind, completely losing their visual experience in their dreams."

Chen Gang closed his eyes and kept groping with his hands: "Accidental blindness is much better than congenital blindness. According to their words: My eyes are not black, but covered with a thick layer of fog!"

"Or some kind of transparent wall that blocks the real scene. Occasionally, you may see a little flash of light. This is an illusion left by the remaining memory."

"As an actor, the first time you receive a role for a blind person, do you have to know whether it is congenital or acquired?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and lamented that paying attention everywhere is knowledge, did not expect that there are so many ways to be invisible?

Going back to the stage, turning on the video, the big screen began to broadcast clips, and the first one was A Bing in the assassination.

Su Ze watched Wang Baoqiang's performance. In the midst of war, A Bing is definitely a very complicated and tragic character. Any actor who wants to control must have strong expressiveness and control.

He is a genius, not only blind but also stupid, all caused by a high fever when he was a child, so he is an acquired blind person, and he must be distinguished from congenital in acting.

The gifted hearing is amazing, and you can distinguish the most subtle differences in sounds. Children in several nearby villages and towns can tell who their home is just by saying a word, and they can even hear whose homestead is slowly sinking at night.

After the 3-minute close-up, Chen Gang paused and said: "When you enter the film crew, you will enter the blind state according to Director Liu Yunlong's request. Every day, you will go to the school for the blind at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain to experience life and observe how blind people live and work."

"Look at this performance. When A Bing was about to leave home to work in a distant place, he showed the state of a child whose intelligence was not yet fully developed, helplessly seeking help and crying for his mother."

"When I heard that I hadn't made any mistakes in the code test, I expressed my inner happiness, but I just turned around and returned to my childish state, directly saying that I want to shit."

"As a blind man who is absolutely confident in his hearing, whenever he hears someone questioning the results of the interception, he immediately shows hysterical anger."

"why is that?"

Hu Lei quickly replied, "Because the ears are everything to him."

"That's right!" Chen Gang affirmed: "Blind people are human beings first and foremost, they have all the emotions and desires of normal people, and they are more eager to be recognized and respected than ordinary people."

"A Bing is stupid, but he also knows that hearing is the only way he can be recognized. If it were you, what would you do if someone questioned your life-saving straw?"

"Hit him!" Zhao Yuncheng blurted out.

Everyone roared with laughter, and Chen Gang scolded with a smile: "It's the truth that the words are rough but not the rationale."

At the beginning of the second clip, Su Ze was taken aback, who is he?

"Zhu Yilong." Ding Feng explained: "Actor who has been very popular in the past two years."

"Playing a blind person is divided into several stages, such as beginners." Chen Gang analyzed: "When walking, stick out your hands first, shake them from side to side, and gently touch the contact surface when holding things. Your hands are your eyes."

"The eyes are not focused, even if someone is in front of you, they will not focus on the other person. Of course, every blind character must have a repertoire, that is..."

"The trembling hand touches the lens of a loved one."

Su Ze couldn't help laughing, it seems quite reasonable?
Looking carefully at the details of Zhu Yilong's performance, the biggest difficulty in playing a blind person is actually forgetting that the eyes can move.

It is human instinct to see the world with eyes, and most people do not analyze how their instincts are used.Is it useless to know that the eyes cannot see the eyeballs?
So the most intuitive feeling for the audience is: every time you look at something, your eyes don't move, and your whole head turns?

Are you blind or a stiff neck?
