The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Students, for some time ago, we have been studying performance theory. Today we will start the practical class. Time is limited, so let's speed up the progress."

As Li Jie said, he turned on the radio, turned up the volume, and the explosive music sounded immediately, not to mention other people, even Yi Qing was taken aback.

What are you going to do, old man?

Li Jie didn't care about the astonishment on everyone's faces, clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Come on, all stand up, hurry up!"

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Li Jie simply ran down and dragged the students up one by one. The center of the performance classroom of more than 70 square meters was full of people. Brilliant passage.

This is the rock music that has just become popular here in the capital.

"Jump up!" Li Jie shouted loudly, and then, under the astonished eyes of everyone, he jumped up like in a disco.

Seeing the old man bouncing up and down, twisting his waist and swinging his hips, Yi Qing felt that his worldview collapsed in an instant.

This old man, is he planning to become a master?

Don't be afraid to twist your waist!

Others look at me, I look at you, although they are embarrassed, but seeing Teacher Li Jie twisting so happily, they can't help twisting to the music.

At the beginning, I still couldn't let go, but with Li Jie's continuous encouragement, the music played to the end, and everyone went crazy, especially Hu Zehong, this girl usually loves to play, and now she is even more happy. When the music stopped, they yelled "Do it again".

Li Jie smiled and turned off the machine: "Sit down!"

Everyone sat back with unfinished thoughts, and Hu Zehong also wanted to go back. Li Jie suddenly said: "Hu Zehong, don't go."

Then, looking at everyone again, he said: "Today I will give you the first lesson of performance practice, which is also the opening of the performance and the liberation of nature."

Although everyone was rehearsing skits before, they were basically the established scenes in the rehearsal. To put it bluntly, they just memorized the lines, which is amazing and a little emotional change, which is far from the real performance.

The real performance is taught by Mr. Li Jie. What I learned before was theory, but now it is practice.

"Hu Zehong!" Li Jie said with a smile, "You first act like a pig for everyone."

Hu Zehong thought that Li Jie was playing with her, taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the dance just now, she pouted happily and acted like a pig for everyone.

Li Jie shook his head immediately: "That's not the case, you're making a face. What we have to do now is the first step to liberate our nature. Animal simulation. A real pig can land on all fours."

Hu Zehong was stunned, she came from a family of Yue opera, and she is proficient in singing, reading, playing and fighting, but no one has ever taught her how to play a pig! ?

"Really play a pig? Why do you want to learn this? When filming, there will be a scene where the actor plays a pig."

Li Jie smiled helplessly, pointed at Yi Qing and said, "Xiao Yi, come here."

Yi Qing now also knows what Li Jie meant by asking everyone to dance just now, just to let everyone relax completely. When he heard Li Jie calling his name, he didn't speak, let alone the slightest bit of embarrassment. Animal imitation, he had already followed Li Jie has learned.

He got up and walked to Hu Zehong's side, rolled on the spot, pursed his mouth, wriggled on the ground with his limbs shortened as much as possible, and kept humming, pushing his face against Hu Zehong's trouser legs, so frightened that Hu Zehong instinctively fled back to his seat.

Yi Qingxue was so vivid that everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Jie has taught these things personally before, so it is naturally not a problem for Yi Qing.

Li Jie continued: "Become a monkey!"

Yi Qing jumped up when he heard the words, made a monkey face, scratched his ears and cheeks.

Li Jie said again: "Tiger!"

"Oh~~~~~~~~" Yi Qing let out a tiger roar, and landed on all fours, really like a cat, walking a few steps with one paw in front and the other crossed behind, and shaking the hair on his body , licking his front paws, arching his back, and looking around vigilantly.

For a while, everyone was dumbfounded. Although some of them had learned acting before, that was just scratching the surface. Now that they were in the Red Chamber crew, it was the first time they had really come into contact with acting.

In order to learn acting well, everyone crammed together and asked someone to find two books on acting. Traveling through time, they are no strangers to the word liberation of nature, but at this moment, looking at Yi Qing in the field, they finally understood, What exactly is liberating nature.

He is obviously a living person, but at this moment, Yi Qing's expression, the fierce light in his eyes, and the rough panting and low roar from the bottom of his throat while walking, really make people feel that this is a tiger!

For a while, everyone was stunned, and Zhang Li, who had just arrived, was even more dazed.

Is this acting?

Chapter 15 Liberating Nature

After the Red Mansion project was established on CCTV, some people began to recommend actors to Wang Fulin, but after careful consideration, Wang Fulin made a decision that everyone could not understand. The main roles in the play should not be professional actors.

The reason why he made this decision was mainly because Wang Fulin felt that professional actors were too imposing in acting and could not show the feeling he wanted, especially those young masters and ladies in the Grand View Garden, famous professional actors and actors in the play. First of all, there is a big gap in the age of the characters, and the innocence that should be at the age of the characters can't be shown at all.

That's why there is the back, the Red Mansion crew recruits actors from all over the country, but in this way, there are actors from all walks of life, and most of them have never been in contact with acting before joining the crew. I want these young people to To convert your role in life into an actor, you can only teach from scratch.

In the classroom, Yi Qing's animal simulation performance continued, as if the real king of beasts was patrolling his territory, with a pair of fierce eyes scanning everyone, everyone who made eye contact with him felt What is shuddering.

Suddenly, Yi Qing bowed his body and made a gesture to rush towards Chen Xiaoxu in front of him. Chen Xiaoxu, who had been watching the performance with all his attention, screamed in shock, jumped up with a "bass", and was about to run back.

Hahahaha~~~~~~

A burst of laughter woke Chen Xiaoxu up, and he turned his head and stared at Yi Qing with a face full of shame, while Yi Qing had an innocent face.

Li Jie nodded in satisfaction. Although Yi Qing did not finish the scene, the effect of the demonstration has basically been achieved. He is very optimistic about Yi Qing. Although he has never been in contact with acting before, as a Li Jie can tell that Yi Qing is a very talented student who has acted in dramas for decades, and his appearance is also very good. He is over 1.8 meters tall and looks handsome enough. If you are determined to develop on the road of acting, you should have no problem getting into the film school.

Li Jie asked Yi Qing and the two to sit back, sorted out their thoughts, and started to give a lecture: "Let me explain, just now Hu Zehong said that there would be no play where actors would play a pig. Indeed, there would be no director who would let actors really I want to play a pig. The reason why I asked you to do it is because I asked Yi Qing to do an animal simulation performance. In fact, this is the opening course of the acting course. The acting teaching of world film and television is mainly divided into Brecht and Stein There are two schools of Nepali and cloth schools, which are very difficult for beginners. Therefore, in long-term practice, most of the world's first-class film and television performance schools, including China's film academies, adopt the Stanley school. In the future, if some of you go to Beijing Film Academy and Chinese Academy of Drama, after entering school, everyone will have a copy of "The Essence of Steiner's System Theory" as a textbook."

The people below were ignorant of what they heard, and Li Jie also knew that it would be difficult for them to accept so much all at once, but what should be taught still needs to be taught.

"Generally speaking, if it is a college that specializes in teaching performance, freshman students will spend a whole semester doing exercises to 'liberate nature' when they enter the school, the most important of which is animal simulation. Everyone must raise It is a concept that the learning of art is always linear. It does not mean that if I want to play a certain type of role in the future, I will now practice this kind of role. It is not like this. I can practice whatever I play. , because I won’t play animals in the future, so I don’t do animal simulation exercises during practice, this kind of concept is the most essential wrong direction.”

Then Li Jie said to Hu Zehong: "The biggest difference between correct acting learning and wrong acting learning, or the biggest mistake of laymen teaching acting is that they think acting is for a certain play, a certain role, a certain The specific practice of movements or facial expressions. When they train students, they often divide them into how to act as a good person and how to act as a bad person. Similar to this kind of situation, in fact, this kind of teaching method destroys an actor for life. The plot of the world The ever-changing, roles are ever-changing, and the prescribed situation is changing all the time. How can you summarize all the roles and find a performance model one by one? So what do you learn about acting? Learning is a systematic way Concepts and methods are the ability to play all the characters well, and a unified law to create characters as works. Learning the rules of creation is the most important thing, just like learning composition in the Academy of Music and teaching painting in the Academy of Fine Arts. It’s the same as painting, what you learn is not how to draw a certain apple or how to draw a certain figure, but to teach students the ability to draw everything and create with a brush.”

Teacher Li Jie seemed to be speaking to Hu Zehong, but he was actually teaching everyone. Just now, he thought Li Jie had asked Yi Qing to imitate animals for fun, so he became serious.

Li Jie took a sip of water and said, "What is liberating nature?"

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly looked at Yi Qing: "Yi Qing! Come and explain to everyone."

Yi Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Li Jie to call his name, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, got up quickly and said: "The Stanley system believes that the most suitable person to be an actor should have the child-like Personality. When each of us is born, we are born with various personalities, such as bravery, cowardice, cunning, honesty, selfishness, generosity, narrowness, generosity, etc., all human personality traits in various forms, in children This is the so-called 'the theory of perfect circle of nature', human innate personality is like a perfect circle, and countless kinds of personalities form countless points that make up the circle. At the beginning, our personality is perfect."

As Yi Qing said, he also forgot to be nervous, walked directly to the front of the classroom, drew a circle on the small blackboard, and said: "Let's assume that if our personalities are still complete, that is to say, all human personalities We all have it, so acting is easy. If we need to play a mean person, we will use the cunning and despicable part of our character to cover up the good side. If we need us to play a great and selfless person, we will use our character We can cover up the despicable side of the movie and use the good side. No matter what kind of character performance the script and the prescribed situation require us to perform, we can easily perform it, because a perfect character has all the character factors we need. So It is said that a child-like character is the most suitable for an actor."

Li Jie also nodded repeatedly when he heard this, feeling that the time he spent on Yi Qing was not in vain, seeing Yi Qing looking towards him, he nodded encouragingly, signaling Yi Qing to continue.

Yi Qing took a deep breath, and continued: "But in life, we people, especially us Chinese, have been taught since childhood that this is wrong, that is right, this can be done, and that can't be done. Our parents, family environment, education level, all these things affect and transform us to varying degrees, so that our natural integrity is squeezed in various ways. Some people abandon all negative characters and become Good people; some people did not get a good education during the rebellious period, and became jealous, narrow-minded, selfish and vicious, thus forming all kinds of people in our society.”

Yi Qing then drew a few irregular shapes on the blackboard, saying: "It's like our perfect circle was squeezed by parents, school, and society, and it became an incomplete shape. For example, just now the teacher asked Hu Zehong couldn’t play a pig, why? Because her parents told her that girls should be reserved, and her education taught her what kind of image a girl should be beautiful, and her own life experience also Tell her how to maintain your image in front of people. As an ordinary person, there is nothing wrong with these, but as an actor, this nature is suppressed and distorted, and I can't play many roles."

Everyone listened and nodded as if they understood something.

Yi Qing also sincerely hopes that they can understand the true meaning of acting. The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is indeed a classic, but at the same time it has indeed ruined a large number of actors with real potential. After filming "Dream of Red Mansions", most of these actors are Failed to have greater development on the road of performance.

Doing business, changing careers.
